*************************** From 25:
Justins power burst was enormous. Waves of energy knocked me against a wall. I looked up as Justin was growing. He was soon taller than the castle. He seemed to wade through it like it was nothing but water. I didn't know where he was going, but I did know he would destroy anything that got in his way. There was nothing we could do. ***************************
26:
"Altimus has succeeded in confusing everyone. If I wasn't who I am I would probably be confused too." A tall man with a long white beard was standing in a large white room. His robes were white as well. Everything in this room was white. The only color was a petite woman standing in front of the man. She was a woman, but not a human. Her ears were showing through her crimson hair. They were pointed. She barely wore anything at all. Small pieces of red cloth covered her breasts. A black leather belt held a crimson loin cloth over her groin. On closer inspection it didn't seem to be a loin cloth. It could only be described as a thong. Her eyes were the only things that weren't crimson or black. They were a deep, piercing blue."Yes. They are confused more than ever. Isaiah and Celeste not knowing doesn't help, sire." The man thought for a moment. "You are right. Inform them immediatly." The womans eyes grew wide. "Sire! You know we cannot help them yet!" The man grinned. "The agreement, dear Reya, was that no members of the Light shall harm their opposite or their minions. The same for the darkness. Am I a member of the light?" Reya grinned and shook her head. "Am I a member of the darkness?" Her grinned was now a smile. "I understand, sire. Clever." With that the woman vanished in a cloud crimson smoke.
"Why did this have to happen now?" Screamed Vincent. I sighed. "All we can do is wait for it to end. Let's try to stay out of his way." JC stood and walked to me. He grabbed the collar of my robe and tried to lift me. "How can you say something like that?" He screamed. "We have to help him!" I smiled. "Help him?" I brushed his hand from my robes. "Look at him! He's one of the most powerful creatures in this dimension. He won't be needing our help for a while. When he does come out of it he will return here safely. The creator did not give us these powers knowing there would be these side effects without giving us protection while they happen. The only reason we contained your first bursts is for the safety of any wanderers in the area."
Suddenly a thick cloud of smoke drifted into the room. Not far behind was a flowing light and an emerald cloth. They began to change into their human forms in unison. A bright flash of light blinded us. When it cleared we saw Celeste, Isaiah, and a woman we had never seen before. "It is an honor to meet you all." The woman bowed. "I am Reya." I looked at my mother, who saw the confusion on my face. "She is a personal servant of the Creator. She is here to help you solve the puzzle." I was still confused. "I was sent to help clear some confusion Altimus has been spreading. The portraits are an illusion sent by him. Malak told you my master sent it hoping it would confuse you. He will continue to try and confuse you. Do not let him. My master does not believe in riddles unless he is forbidden from telling you something directly. There was one clue, however, that he did send. He communicated with you through your friend James. Come with me." She held out her hand. I took it in mine. A bright flash of light erupted from my body. Suddenly we weren't in the castle. We were in my mind.
"I can only tell you this. You must not tell anyone what I am going to tell you. Got it?" I nodded. "Forget everything you have learned. Most of it was Altimus and Malaks doing. Even forget what you know about flash. He did what he did because flash. He will be a great ally. Return to Camelot. The information Celeste and Isaiah recieved from my master was actually Altimus. You do not need an army. flash flash."
The next thing I knew I was back in Fortuna. I could hear Justin roaring at a distance. He was coming back. I looked toward the sound. I saw smoke. "Anthony?" He looked up. "Yes?"
"Are there any villages in those mountains?"
"Yeah there are a few."
"I think Justin destroyed one of them."
"Great! Now there are probably people hunting him for what he's done!" JC was outraged. Lance, Chris, and Joey were trying to calm him down with little success. "I doubt he's being hunted, JC. If you were a farmer with only a pitchfork to defend yourself would you hunt a monster taller than the largest castle in the world?" I could see Justin approaching. He was slowly shrinking. By the time he got to the castle he was in his human form again, laying on the floor. JC ran to him and picked him up. "Wha...? What happened?" He stammered. "A power burst." I said simply. JC glared at me. Justin noticed and wiggled free of JCs grasp. "Don't be mad at him. There was nothing he could do about it." JC looked away. Justin walked to me. He collapsed in front of me. I barely caught him. I picked him up and carried him to where Reya stood. She nodded and placed her hand on his forehead. Her hand began to glow a gentle crimson. The glow soon faded, leaving Justin still sleeping. "You do realize that while everyone else in his world are completely lacking energy, he will be completely restored with very few hours of rest?" I nodded and smiled. "They sleep too damn much anyway. If it was upt o me I'd get you to do the same to all of them." She laugh and turned toward JC. Her expression changed. "Odd." She walked toward him.
"You're the only odd one here!" Yelled JC. Gail looked at him, scowled, and grabbed his arm. "Come with me." He reluctantly obeyed.
**** My POV:
"What is wrong with you?" Gail stared at him intently, awaiting his reply. "Nothing! Get the hell away from me!" Gail's eyes flew open. "WHO the hell are you?" JC grinned. "Someone who doesn't trust any of you assholes." Gail frowned. "Excuse me." She said, walking toward Reya. She whispered something in her ear. Reya's eyes flew open. She jumped toward JC. She pulled a huge longsword out of thin air. It had a faint blue glow. She drew her arm back and slashed JC's chest. He screamed out in pain. "Where is he?!" She screamed. "What are you doing?" Lance was running toward his fallen friend, followed by Joey and Chris. She looked at them, her eyes glowing.
An invisible force slammed into them, knocking them into the far wall. "Where the hell is he?" Reya repeated her question. JC was on the ground, holding his chest, laughing. He began laughing harder and harder. "He is safe. With my master." JC's skin bulged. It began to rip. His body exploded in a cloud of black smoke. When the smoke cleared, a young super power stood in JC's place. "There is nothing you can do as long as they are seperated. You know that." Reya growled. "There is nothing THEY can do." Her longsword vanished. She raised her arms above her head. A crimson cloud formed in the throne room. It began pouring rain. It almost looked like blood. The water began flowing into a large pool. The pool extended upward, until it formed the figure of a man. The figure burst, spraying the red water over everything. The young super power stood motionless, his eyes wide, his mouth open. He shook himself and glared at the man. "You can't touch me! I am one with the darkness!" The man smiled. "I do not have to touch you, young one." The man slowly raised his arm, pointing at the super power. "I am everything. I have judged you. Now it is time for your punishment." The man began to glow. The glow flowed into his finger, growing more and more harsh as it got closer. The glow turned into a bright ball of light on the tip of his finger. It shot from his hand into the heart of the super power. He began screaming in pain. The darkness flowed from his eyes, as did his power. The young man fell to his knees. "Wha... what did you do?" He asked, tears in his eyes. "I removed the darkness from you heart. I removed the power from your soul. You are immortal, child, but you are powerless." With that, the man vanished. **** Jacob:
Ignoring the fallen super power, Reya turned to me. "You must find him. You can do nothing until he is found. Everyone else can help hold off their forces. You must find him as soon as possible." I sighed. "Where?" We all looked at the young man. He was looking around, as if he didn't know why we were staring at him. "Wha.. what?" Reya gripped his throat. "Where is he?" The man sighed and stood. "Only if you'll take me with you." Reya looked at me. "He can do nothing." I nodded. "Now, where is he?" The man brushed his long, black hair from his face. "In
a land believed to be powerless. A land that is abundant, however. We sent him home. " Reya's eyes flew open. "He is with..?" The man nodded. Reya looked at the ground and then at me. "Jacob, you must go to their dimension. You must fight Lucifer. Do not fear destroying the balance there. It isn't a natural balance."
As if it wasn't a powerful spell, Reya began speaking fast. The air around her began to glow. It flowed into her body. A blue portal stood in front of her. "Go now. I shall return your friends to Camelot. Please hurry."
I stepped through the gate...
Nothing... Nothing I had ever seen.. could've prepared me for this...
It was beautful...
It was almost as if time stood still...
It seemed the stars had come from the cosmos to bid me farewell...
It seemed the stars had come from the cosmos to welcome me...
TBC... *********************************************************** Well, that's it for now. If this was an RPG you could call the next installment a "mini-game." I bet you can't wait to see what happens to the criminals of earth. ::evil grin:: Farewell!
