Note: I'm sorry for the delay. If it makes ya feel better -- one of the stories I've been reading hasn't had a new installment out since January... Excuses excuses... :/ Seriously, though... I had this chapter finished, and I forgot to save every 15 minutes, 'puter froze, lost it all. I finally got my lazy ass ::dodges Gail's foot:: and started over. Oh yeah, one more thing. Due to the actual importance of the clothes Nsync wears in this story ... if I mess it up, and forget the color, or power of any of them, e-mail me, tell me. I'll look into it, and if you were right I'll send you a prerelease of the next chapter. (I really don't wanna screw this up. ;) ) Thats all -- ENJOY!
Thanks to: Matt ...
and leave me alone to: ThrdRockSun ... in case you it didn't register when I told you to stop with the "heeeelp meeeee." then "sooorry." IMs, I'm telling you here.
Great stories: Nsync and the Vamps. If you haven't read, or started reading it ... then read it! Nsync Saga: This, and Nsync and the Vamps are the stories that got me to try my luck with this story... Those are the only two I can think of off hand. I know there are more in my favorite places, but I'm too lazy to get online and check. Sorry, I'll be sure to list you next time! :)
*************************************************************************** From 6: We flew like lightning toward the academy, reaching the doors to the building in seconds. We ran through the doors only to see the man from the cave standing next to the bed. I handed the packs, and flask to Vincent and he hurriedly set them next to two bowls and a small stand. "Everyone out, now!" He said, ushering everyone out of the building. The man stayed behind, detected only by Gail, and myself. ***************************************************************************
Chapter 7:
I sat on one side of the door, Gail on the other. We were, more or less, guarding the entrance. The guys, one by one, tried to get past us, failing miserably every time. It eventually turned into a game. They kept themselves busy with this game until there was a bright flash from inside. We all turned to look through the windows, but they were covered in fog. Our game turned into four emotional guys coming close to overpowering us. Anthony noticed and ran over to us. He grabbed each of the guys and, with some strain, lifted them all over his head and threw them away from the door. They landed gently and ran back toward us. Anthony shook his head and stood there. They stopped in front of him and sat. The doors swung open.
Justin stood dazed. He was swaying gently. He fell suddenly. Just before he hit the ground Gail caught him with her mind. She set him on the ground. Anthony walked over and picked him up. I looked to the rest of the guys. They had looks of hate. They started toward Anthony. I followed them with my eyes. They reached Anthony and grabbed Justin's arms and legs. They carried him to the top of a hill and laid him down, then surrounded him. They sat, watching us. We stood, watching them. "What the hell?" Asked Gail. "Don't know." I replied. "I'm pretty sure they feel we're responsible." Said Vincent, walking up behind us. "I told you it would be hard for them to trust us." I looked behind Vincent and saw the man, still by the bed. "Vincent, who is that?" I said pointing to him. "Who?" He asked, searching the hall. "You can't see him?" Asked Gail. "See who?" He had a confused look on his face. "The old man, from the cave. He said he was the guardian." Vincent's look changed to one of interest.
"They'll come around." The Guardian said, approaching us. "Why can't they see, or hear you?" Asked Gail. Vincent cocked an eyebrow. "Vincent hates guardians, Anthony does not believe." Satisfied, Gail turned toward the group on the hill. She pointed, about to speak. "I know what you wish to ask." Said the guardian. "I don't know how long it will take. I only know they will trust you. Slowly, and one by one. There are a lot of creatures that do not want any of you to succeed. You've saved one life." With that, he disappeared. "Who were you talking to?" Asked Vincent. We looked at each other, and in unison replied "No one." He cocked an eyebrow again. "Whatever." He muttered. "What are we gonna do about them?" I sighed. "Drag them along until they decide to follow on their own." Anthony scratched his head. "How exactly are we going to get them down from there?" We looked toward the hill. They were nowhere to be seen. "Not there. There!" Anthony was pointing toward a large tree. "They think they can hide in a shrine." Vincent shook his head. "We have a lot to teach these five." He walked off toward the tree. We smiled and followed.
"Come on!" Yelled Vincent. "Don't make me come up there!"
"Fu-Go away!"
"At least one of your lessons stuck with them." I whispered to Gail. She giggled.
"You're begging for me to beat the hell out of every one of you!" Yelled Vincent.
"Leave us alone!"
"If we leave you alone, you die. If you don't get your asses down here, you die! Get down now!"
"We can take care of ourselves!"
"Please! One of you looked at something, and almost died! GET DOWN NOW!"
Seeing they wouldn't come down without a fight, Vincent groaned. "FINE! Stay up there! We're leaving!" He motioned for us to follow him. We went into one of the buildings. We walked to a room filled with plants. The walls were lined with vines of some kind. In the center on the room was a table, supported by rose bushes. The bushes were covered in orange flowers, filling the room with a sweet smell. Vincent walked to the table. He was facing a window, looking at the tree. "Anthony, Jacob. Go back out. Anthony, catch them. Jacob, trap them. Don't let them get away!" We shrugged, and walked outside.
The tree began to shake. The branch supporting Lance vanished. Anthony ran to where he was falling, and caught him. I cast an imprisonment spell to trap him. One by one the branches supporting the group vanished. Anthony caught them, I trapped them. When all of the guys, excluding Justin, were trapped Vince and Gail walked up behind us. "You forgot one." Stated Vincent flatly. Justin looked at him. "You're worse than them. They have a reason not to trust you, but you don't have any reason, or right not to trust us." Vincent looked at me. "Don't look at me. He's right." Vincent groaned. "Fine. I'm sorry. Jake, Gail; make a cage. I want to talk to them." Gail, and I looked at each other. We stood on each side of the guys. Chanting a small cage spell. "Dirmata trelas dreyu heroj." Blue beams of light extended from the ground. They entwined, until finally they made a transparent wall around the four guys. I concentrated on my four targets until the imprisonment spell nullified.
"Let us out." JC seemed to be the speaker of the group. "Justin! How can you just stand there?" Justin stood, silent. Vincent looked directly at JC. "I cannot let you out until I am sure you will not try to run away." JC laughed. "I don't know what you did to Justin to turn him against us, but as soon as we get out of here we're taking him somewhere you'll never find us." Vincent laughed louder than JC had before. "You know nothing about this world, and would die the second you left our sight. Think about it for a second." Justin spoke. "Yeah, JC. I almost died just by looking at something! We have to trust them." JC looked at Justin, worried. "What did they do to you? You can beat it! Try to beat their curse!" The five on the outside of the cage gave him confused looks. "What is a curse?" Asked Gail. JC raised an eyebrow. "What you did to him to make him turn against us." Justin rolled his eyes. "In what dictionary is the definition of curse 'to save ones life,' JC?!" JC shot a look of hate at us. "Stop playing dumb, and take the spell off of him, now!" He screamed. "Damn it, JC! They didn't put a spell on me! The only thing they did was show me how dangerous this world is, and how much we need their help. If they wanted us dead, would they have saved my life?" JC's look softened.
Joey stepped up. "We're sorry. We didn't think anything through. We still don't trust you, but we'll stay with you. There is one thing we want to know, though." Questioning looks all around. "Why did you bring us here." I sighed. 'Here we go.' I thought. I sighed before speaking. "We didn't bring you here. A God from each realm have to participate when bringing any being from one realm to another. I'm sure this was a joint effort between all of the Gods of peace in each realm." Lance stepped up. "Gods?" He asked. "I don't know about this place, but our realm only has one God." This is what I was worried about. I turned to Vincent. "He can't be Zebwa. His power is overwhelming!" He nodded. "There is only one thing to do. The one man that calls himself God. The one man that created the Zebwa. You are all going to meet your God." I was shocked. "No! That would be too much for them!" As an alternative I gave them the explanation I gave you. "That is complete bullshit!" Yelled Lance. I sighed. "We have to get them there as soon as possible. Vincent nodded. "Do you guys promise not to run away?" They nodded. Gail and I lowered the energy cage. I looked at them. "What?" They asked in unison. I smiled. "Your clothes. Too confining. How are you going to do any kind of magic when you wear clothes like that?" Justin held out his shirt to get a good look at it. "Whats wrong with this?" I laughed. "See what I'm wearing?" I asked. "You want me to where an inverted dress?" He asked. "No, I want you to wear something that leaves at least a little to the imagination." I said, walking away. He looked down past his shirt. His boxer briefs really didn't leave anything to the imagination. He blushed. "Oops."
I came back with five robes. I laid them out for the guys to pick. One was red with swirling white designs here, and there. Another was Blue with a single white swirl near the neck. The third was silver with a scorpion on the back. It had runes outlining it. The fourth was black with red stars. The fifth was an elaborately decorated black robe. A full, blood red moon rest on the back with a werewolf standing under it, howling. This picture was framed by the heads of other animals. JC picked up the red one, Joey the green, Chris the blue, Lance the silver, and Justin the animal decorative. "I wasn't expecting that." I said. "What?" Asked Justin. "Those robes represent the power inside of you. JC you will eventually learn to control the element of fire. Joey will be able to create mountains with a flick of the wrist. Chris will control both water, and air. Ice is a powerful weapon, especially when they can't breathe in order to get the blood moving. No oxygen, no heat, no life. Lance, you get the power of the heavens. This is a great power. This is a non-elemental power that combines holy flame, and heavenly punishments. Although your power is great, Justin has the greatest power of all. The animals represent your ability to transform into any creature. The power of the heavens allows Lance to do this, but not like you. Your most powerful form is of a unique werewolf type creature. It stands as tall as the highest redwood, and even the fur that covers it's body is more powerful than dragon. Once you master your powers, this skill will be a huge help if we ever get in a fight with a super power." They all nodded, as if they understood completely. I knew the questions would come soon. They walked off to change into their new clothes, as the rest of us finished our preparations to leave. We decided to leave the next morning, since we had spent the day exhausting ourselves physically, and mentally.
**************************** The Next Morning ***************************************************
I awoke first. In our world the people only need about 4 hours of sleep to be completely energized. I decided to practice a few Derux energy spells. Derux energy spells are just like any other, except the power used to cast them comes from the planet itself instead of the body of the caster. "Derux flatie delai tresue." A ball of energy began forming in my palm. Gail awoke before I finished my spell. She knew what I was doing, and decided to join in. Derux spells are uninterruptible. She sat in front of me. "Mind if I join you?" She asked. I smiled. She began chanting with me. The ball of energy suspended itself in midair between us. Eventually Anthony awoke, and joined in, too. Vincent, as well. The ball of energy was growing with every word. We all stopped suddenly and the ball flashed. It engulfed us.
"God I love it here."
"Me too."
"Gail?"
"Yes. This is rare. Two people with the same fantasy realm."
"Yes, it is. Coincidence, or what?"
"I don't know. I'm sure I'd be laughing if I had emotions here."
"Yes, I hate drawbacks."
"Not here, you don't."
"This is a fantasy world. I can dream, can't I?"
"I guess so."
"So, you dream of infinite darkness, too? Disturbing past?"
"This has been my fantasy realm ever since my mother died. It's gotten darker since two days ago."
"For me, too."
"Are you ready to talk about your past, yet?"
"I think I am. In a world without emotions it will be a lot easier. I'll tell you everything I can remember. It was a long time ago, and I guessed I blacked out a lot during that night."
"I'll be there for you when we get out of here, and your emotions catch up with you."
"Thanks." I took a deep breath. Although I had no emotions, I had to prepare for the blow to my mentality
Wow ... I hope that doesn't piss anyone off. I have to think his past through. I've decided to make his past a chapter by itself. I'll work on that tomorrow.
