Organization Central, Prague, Czech Republic
The peace and serenity of the night were broken by the sound of the siren, and the green walls reddened from the light of the alarm. All doors opened, as the suits started to pour out, adjusting their ties and glasses in a visible hurry. Many of them didn't have the slightest idea of what was going on around them until the spells hit them. Only the occupants of further rooms got the time to realize their situation and answer with attacks of their own. The cause of this ruckus and panic was no one other than Huntik Team, the very four seekers that had brought on the end of The Professor and caused disintegration in his group. Today they once more infiltrated-or rather simply invaded- the territory of their foes. Their goal: Find the data about Ethan Lambert, a Foundation seeker and father of Lok Lambert.
"Come on, are they serious?!" asked the boy in question with disbelief, easily avoiding another spell thrown at him by suits. He then dashed forward and pushed through the two. But the danger wasn't only in front of the Foundation seekers. It also lurked behind them. One of the female suits crept slowly, with a spell at the ready aiming at their backs. But before she was even able to cast it, Dante Vale-the Foundation's number one seeker and the team leader- turned sharply around and threw a spell of his own at her, destroying the alarm in the process. After dealing with that the team ran further, avoiding the same pattern of attacks.
"I think we lost the element of surprise, Dante" cried Lok when their four caught up with each other.
"That would explain all the shooting" smiled Sophie Casterwill, the sole heiress to the famous but still mysterious Casterwills, a family who founded the seeker magic.
"Don't, worry" said their mentor "the fun's just getting started"
With that, they proceeded on towards the room at the very end of the corridor. With one blast they blew up the door, sending the guard flying and entered. The room was small and mostly bare, accept from thousands of wires attached to a computer on the back wall.
"That's the terminal!" cried Zhalia Moon- an ex-organization spy, turned Foundation agent- pointing at the machine.
"We'll cover you," told her Dante, spinning around with those words. The woman nodded and made her way towards the computer as the teens joined their mentor. They were quickly given the occasion to fulfil their words, for two suits-who used to be Professor's bodyguards-came from around the corner. The men fired spells imminently, not even bothering to say their names, but they met with very serious and worthy opponents. Dante easily dodged the attack, and jumped at them, with Lok and Sophie not far behind. The girl created a barrier, while the blonde cast a Boltflare at the enemy, sending the suit flying. Those sound were very defocusing for Zhalia who worked very hard searching for any information on Ethan. Dante knew that too well and therefore tried to buy her some time. Without difficulties he threw the suit he has been fighting with, pushed him away.
The mousy haired man stumbled touching his head
"You dare to attack Organization's Central!" he cried outraged
"No choice, unless you would be nice enough to invite us over occasionally" shrugged he amber-eyed man. The suit's outrage grew upon hearing such an arrogant reply and he attacked again. But Dante was quicker, and grabbing his elbow turned him around and held in tight grasp from behind. The others, however, had no such luck, or reflex. Few steps away Lok hit the ground with full force, as his and Sophie's enemy pushed him away. The suit stepped forward but his path to victory was blocked by Sophie. The Casterwill girl looked up with anger and determination, but on her little, still quite a childlike face it did not look too intimidating. And this face soon changed on the sight of Organization's backup.
"Guys, we got to get going and fast!" she cried with very distinct worry, turning her eyes to Zhalia.
In a completely different wing of HQ, two men were watching this combat on their CCTV screen.
"The Huntik Foundation? What are they doing here?" asked one of them, a thin pale man with bald head and violet shirt. The man behind him furrowed his brow. Tall, blonde and tanned, dressed in a smart white suit and pink tie he was a complete opposite to his companion.
"So it's come to this?" he muttered in wonder and silent outrage "Organization's enemies coming to as they please? Hold on!" he cried after a while, leaning closer in order to have a better look and his bright blue eyes lit up with recognition "this must be the famous team that took down the Professor!"
"Sir if you defeated them..." started the pale man smiling wickedly
"The entire Organization will be mine" ended the blonde smirking.
Lok shook his head, trying to get rid of the mist that enveloped his mind. When he finally was able to do it and raised his head his eyes winded and a gasp left his mouth. There was Sophie held by her wrist by the suit they have been facing. The blonde quickly got to his feet and hurried to the rescue. The other man tried to hit him with a spell but missed, which the boy quickly took advantage off, making a flip in the air and using Clatterbang. The loud, shrill noise made the suit stumble and fall on his face. Lok quickly ran up to his girlfriend and looking briefly at the fallen enemy turned his eyes to the terminal.
"Hurry Zhalia!" he shouted as the spells flew by his ears, hitting the walls and wires near the computer. The dark-haired woman furrowed her brow and begun to type as fast as she could. She was an expert but hacking into databases wasn't exactly easy during such blasting. Soon however her efforts were rewarded. A green file titled 'Ethan Lambert' appeared on the screen.
"A file on Ethan Lambert...Lok's father" she muttered to herself, before turning around to her team- I found it!- she shouted. Lok's face lit up at once, and he smiled. The triumph, however, had to wait, for the suits fired new portion of spells. Zhalia glared at them, and in this very moment, Gareon appeared on her shoulder shooting the men with his laser gaze. On this cue, Dante quitted playing around and threw his enemy at the other suits, before breaking into the run. His teammates followed close behind him.
"Now, we split up and meet at the rendezvous point" revealed his plan Lok much in a spy-movie manner. Unfortunately, his friends, or rather his mentor did not join in. The auburn-haired man shook his head in a negative reply.
"No, straight to the airport," he said "Metz will have my head if you miss school tomorrow"
The teen blushed, smiling sheepishly. Here he thought that the others have forgotten and he might escape school this time. But it seemed like Dante Vale wasn't so easy to fool and confuse.
Lok was deeply asleep, smiling at the recent adventures that played before his inner eyes when suddenly he felt some small hand touch and shake him.
"Give me a moment" he muttered "I was having this awesome dream"
Upon hearing those words Cherit's head popped out of the boy's bag.
"Your life of a seeker is no dream Lok Lambert," he said, causing Sophie, who stood by the desk to giggle.
"I can't believe it" she said at length in an amused tone "even though we face secrets of the ancient world on daily basis you still can't stay awake in History Class even if your life depended on it" with the last words she pulled out the red course book, showing it to him as if it was a priceless treasure. The blonde looked up at her trying his best to glare, but it didn't work.
"Very funny Sophie," he said at last "but every hero has his weakness"
He barely spoke those words, when a shrill, ringing filled the empty class.
"It's a message from Dante!" gasped Sophie. Lok waited for a while, till the teacher was really out of earshot before he pulled out his father's holotome and opened it. The screen shook and the russet-haired man's face appeared on it.
"Zhalia and Huntik Council finally finished checking that file" he informed his young friends straight away.
"We're going to South America?" asked Sophie hopefully
"Meet me at HQ in ten minutes," told them their mentor
"We'll be there in five" assured him, Lok,
"The class has just ended. Don't you need time to wake up?" teased the older man, smirking slightly evilly, causing the blonde to furrow his brow and Sophie to cover her mouth in order to stifle another fit of giggles.
A short time after this scene, the four teammates were already on the board of Foundation's jet on their way to South America.
"Thanks to the data from the file on Ethan Lambert, Metz was able to pinpoint the exact waterfall mentioned to Lok by the Professor himself" said Dante to his team as he displayed the replica of said place on his holotome "it's our best lead yet" as he spoke the image of waterfall disappeared, replaced by that of a female titan with white hair, and crossed legs. It was Janusea The Gate Keeper. The device quickly informed the occupants of the plane of her abilities and strength.
"For tracking, we'll have to use titans sensitive to seeker's energy, like Janusea" continued the amber-eyed man
"Lok you're ok?" asked Sophie noticing that the other teen isn't paying the attention, looking at some piece of paper.
"This is it," he said softly more to himself than to her "we're really going to the spot where my dad and the Professor had their final battle"
Dante glanced briefly at the boy, before explaining their newest mission-Fate of the Father.
"And although finding Ethan Lambert might be Foundation mission, we know it means much more to you Lok," he said finishing and smiled warmly at the young seeker who has become like a brother to him. He was really happy that after all this time the blonde gets a chance to find out about his father's disappearance. He had been there, he too hardly knew his father. But at least he knew what happened. His father was dead. That was certain. Not like he treated it lightly, and didn't feel sad about it. Oh no, but at least he KNEW. Any certainty was better than not knowing.
Lok said nothing to those words of comfort, too lost in his own world.
"This time we'll find something Lok, I'm sure of it," said Sophie softly, smiling at the boy. Those words seemed to work on him because he smiled too.
"You're right Sophie" he nodded turning around "this time feels different. Today is the day we find my father!" he cried raising his hand into the air
South America, Peru
As the Foundation plane made its way towards the jungle, Stack - the pale bald man who had previously watched the team in Organization's Central - now put the binoculars to his eyes watching them from the tree. He smiled and put the binoculars down gestured towards the fair-haired man who stood below with four others. Those others consisted of a short, elderly man with long white hair and bushy beard dressed in a green coat and three suits, two men and a red-haired woman.
"Go," said the blue-eyed man to them.
"Yes, sir" confirmed the eldest of the group breaking into the run, with the suits following close behind him.
"Nowhere to land," said Zhalia turning to the team "we'll send her back on auto, we have no choice but to parachute from here"
"At least this mission isn't going to be boring," noticed Dante, putting his hand on the handle. He and the teens were already kitted out for such possibility.
"Go! Go!" hurried them the dark-haired woman, grabbing one of her own, and it wasn't long before they all were out in the fresh air. Literally. Zhalia jumped out as the last one and when she caught up with Dante, she gave him thumbs up.
He nodded
"Alright Team," he said, and on this cue everyone pulled their ropes, opening the parachutes. They did not go far on those before they were shot at with spells.
"The Organization!" cried Cherit. The others too gasped as Sophie's and Dante's parachutes got torn, and the two had to use their powers in order not to fall. The amber-eyed man was the first one to land. Gracefully as ever. His expression soon lightened up when he saw three suits coming his way. It seemed like he'll have some training today. Sophie saved herself with Bubblelift and was about to throw some spells on her own, when Poisoned Fang, hit her bubble breaking it. She fell down grabbing a tree branch in last moment. This, however, wasn't the end of her trouble, for her attacker approached her with a smile on his face. Her eyes widened. She knew she won't be able to fire spells in her position.
"We've got to do something! Quick!" panicked Lok, watching this from above with utmost fear and worry. Zhalia reacted before he even finished, throwing her parachute down and firing a doubled Toucharm. It hit the target perfectly, giving Sophie and the woman chance to land safely on their feet.
Dante was already fighting nearby.
"We've got you!" exclaimed one of the suits, taking out his amulet and summoning two-legged lizard Wenommaster, while the red-haired woman called in Gigadrone, an insect-like titan with laser eyes and eight legs. Dante quickly avoided both attacks aimed at him and jumped away. Above him, Lok, seeing that everyone is pretty much alright called in Kipperin. The titan like always wrapped himself up, but this time the grip was stronger and it seemed like the wings simply merged into Lok's back. It looked like they were growing out of there.
"What happened to Kipperin?" wondered the boy in amaze, checking himself out "he feels really powerful!"
"Maybe because you formed a strong bond with your father's titan, Kipperin became Powerbonded" suggested Dante, smiling proudly at the sight his student making such huge progress "your mental link strengthened" he added. But there was no time for a chat. Enemy titan's, although not Powerbonded were quite strong and still could do some damage. And indeed they attacked at the same moment. Dante quickly drew back, causing them to hit each other, while Lok tripped the suits with his wings.
"It's time to get serious," said the amber-eyed man, pulling out an amulet of his own and summoning Caliban, who at once jumped at Wenommaster, clashing with his whip before tripping the enemy titan around. Lok who had by this time landed took care of one of the suits, and thanks to his stronger bond with Kipperin slapped away the other one. He then turned back to his original opponent and after grabbing him threw him into the air. The teen smiled. He was really making a progress, but it was time to end this fairy-warrior dress up. He landed and called his titan away.
Dante, who fought with Gigadrone, jumped at the titan's back and blinded it with Boltflare.
"Where was the last time you had your eyes checked?" mocked the man landing on the ground.
Caliban did not have as much luck as his seeker. Wenommaster managed to melt his sword down. Noticing the Titan's problems Lok pulled out another amulet calling in Raijin The Thunderbolt, a humanoid titan with long white hair and blue skin, dressed in short hakama and shirt. He easily cut the enemies in half with his katana, receiving cries of joy from Cherit and Lok. Dante smiled briefly but his expression soon became more serious as his thoughts ran to the female part of his group.
"Let's check on Sophie and Zhalia," he said. The other two team members nodded and they headed for the part of the clearing where the two female seekers were fighting. It seemed there was nothing to worry about. The girls fought well and presented perfect teamwork. It showed especially when they kicked the enemy in perfect synch.
"Nice moves Sophie" complimented Zhalia, with a smile
"Not so bad yourself" answered the girl as they high fived each other.
"Is it me, or are these two getting along better?" asked Lok rhetorically, turning to his mentor. The amber-eyed man smiled. He was indeed happy that all the tension between his teammates was gone. He might've not shown it but he had been worried about it. Inner conflicts were never healthy for teams, for how were they to fight an enemy when they fought each other? Now however all was good, and since the enemy had been defeated and team reunited they went on their way. And it wasn't long when they reached their destination.
"Lok! Lok! You're not going to believe this!" cried Cherit, feverishly pointing at a high waterfall in the very middle of the jungle.
"The clue about my father is finally panning out after all this time" whispered the teen, looking at the place which he had so far seen only in his dreams "this is the waterfall"
"Lok I'm so happy for you!" exclaimed Sophie, putting her hand on her boyfriend's back, but she soon drew it away as a sharp pain shot through her skull making her moan and stumble.
"Sophie, what's wrong?" asked Dante, slightly breathless. He knew that headaches like that ALWAYS have a reason, as well as he knew that Sophie was not a girl prone to having ones.
"I'm fine" assured him the girl, opening her eyes and looking around "it's just seeker energy, what we use to channel to invoke our titans, is very strong here...like anything I've senesced before" she explained "and its source is right below us"
"Of course!" exclaimed the amber-eyed seeker "Ethan spend his youth travelling Peru with Metz and Simon"
"I get it" nodded Lok "he senesced this place then. That's why he knew he can come here"
"If that's the truth I bet you that Ethan led Professor here on purpose," said Zhalia, looking at the falling waters as if she wanted to pierce it and discover it's secrets.
"Then he jumped, faking his own disappearance" muttered the son of fore mentioned seeker "but why?" he asked quietly.
"To find the answer to that we'll have to get down there and investigate," said his mentor seriously. Very soon his words became deeds, and the team was climbing the straight side of the cliff, heading for the falls.
"There should be a cave behind this waterfall" announced Sophie.
"Cherit, check it out" ordered Lok. The little titan nodded his head and flapped his wings. He did not get far when suddenly, a long vine came out of nowhere and grabbed him by the throat
"Cherit!" cried Lok, but before he could even do anything another shrill cry brought his attention to the other side. His turned around to see Sophie struggling with same green ropes. The first thing he felt was panic, the next anger. How dare this thing touch her! "Oh no you don't!" he cried preparing to fire a Boltflare, but the vines wrapped themselves around his mouth. Soon the whole team was trapped including it's elder members. Cherit broke out quickly, by biting through his ropes, and hurried to the rescue. But Dante stopped him.
"Cherit, forget us" he ordered sharply "find the cave!"
The little titan nodded seriously turning around at once. He knew far too well that when Dante Vale used THAT tone, it meant that 'no' wasn't an option. Therefore the white gargoyle flapped his wings and soon dove into the waterfall. Indeed the cave was there. He quickly stuck his head out and called out to Dante. The auburn-haired seeker needn't be told twice. In less than one minute, he broke himself and Zhalia free, landed on some stone and caught the woman in his arms.
"Hurry Lok!" he told his student, before turning around and with help of Hyperstride, jumping to the other side. Lok quickly followed his lead and succeeded. At least in freeing himself and Sophie. The other part didn't go so well, for it was she who had to catch him by the wrist and carry to the cave. All four of them dove inside the waterfall in almost the same moment.
"It seemed pretty awesome at the time, but now I'll be squashing around in wet socks all day" moaned Lok as his ears filled with wet, splashy sounds. Sophie also grimaced and hissed as the energy she had felt before hit her again. This time much stronger.
"We're getting close" she informed the others.
"I've noticed" muttered Dante halting. The others did the same and gasped in awe and surprise, for they found themselves in the heart of the cave. And it wasn't any ordinary cave. In fact, it looked more like a medieval chamber, splendidly lit up with the crossed ceiling. Here and there hung stalactites and roots of trees above. What however was the most interesting thing in this room was a tall blue crystal that stood in the very middle. Wasting no more time on admiring the seekers ran up to it.
"What...what is that?" questioned Lok, watching the huge piece of rock with wide eyes.
Cherit cautiously flew up closer and tried to touch the crystal with his paw. He quickly withdrew it, gasping in pain as violet energy almost electrocuted him.
"It's unbelievable" breathed Sophie, looking at her palm which was surrounded by blue light. The pain she felt at that moment made her grasp her wrist tightly.
"So this is the source of the energy you've been senescing" deduced Dante, scanning the thing before them with his eyes
"It's barely mentioned in oldest Casterwill records, but there is only one thing it can be," said the girl "a Nexus!"
"A door to the titan world? Huntik? Impossible!" opposed Zhalia quickly
"It's written that in places like this, the first seeker Lord Casterwill and his followers created the amulets" continued the Casterwill heiress paying no attention to her teammate's words. Hearing the story Lok fell deep in thought pulling out Kipperin's amulet and tightening his grasp over it.
"If this thing's a door what if dad used it and escaped to Huntik," he said slowly
"Think you can get this up and running, Sophie?" asked Dante, caressing the smooth surface of the crystal
"If it's a Casterwill artefact then my secret family powers should be able to do the trick" nodded the girl, raising her hand and using Findshape. The two warm rays of light flew out of her hand and wrapped themselves around the Nexus. The whole cave shook as the bright light burst from the crystal. When it died down, the little chip on the rock was gone.
"Now Zhalia will open the Nexus," said Dante "can you do it?" he asked quickly looking at the woman. Not that he doubted her but summoning such powerful titan like Janusea and tampering with ancient, and quite unknown Casterwill magic wasn't going to be easy.
"But she'll need some kind of focus or we'll never contact Ethan" reminded everyone Sophie
"Focus?" asked Lok, with confusion written all over his face.
"Something of your fathers" explained Cherit to him "something of his to channel the power"
The blonde in an instant reached into his backpack and drew out the holotome.
"This was my dad's holotome," he said.
"Ok," said the leader of the team furrowing his brow "let's do this. We don't have time to spare"
His young student nodded and carefully placed the priced object on the stone floor in front of Nexus. Then Zhalia took out her amulet and summoned Janusea. Soon the shaman-like titan appeared before them and imminently send her power rays at Nexus. A blinding light filled the room once more, lifting the holotome up. The device opened on its own accord and soon a figure of a man appeared amongst the seekers. It was Ethan Lambert himself. Or his hologram at least.
"Dad!" cried Lok happily, throwing himself at his long lost parent "it's really you!"
"Lok? It's a dream come true!" exclaimed the man with equal happiness and disbelief as he opened his arms, but since he was just a hologram the boy went through him. They had to wait for physical contact a bit more. Right now they could only see and talk to each other.
"The portal allows Ethan to communicate through his holotome" concluded Dante "however he is still trapped in Huntik the titan world"
The man he was referring to imminently turned to him.
"Dante, my how you've grown" he wondered, eyeing the auburn-haired seeker from top to bottom. Then it hit him "but if you're here it means my boy...is the member of Huntik Foundation," he said turning back to his smiling child.
"It's been too long Ethan" croaked Cherit flying up to his old friend
"Yes, Cherit" nodded the elder Lambert "I see they finally decided to let you out of HQ"
"Dad," said Lok turning his father's attention back to himself "this is Zhalia Moon," he said introducing the dark-haired woman "she's...a top Foundation seeker too, and she" he continued turning to Sophie, and taking the tone of affection and pride "is Sophie Casterwill"
"Casterwill?" inquired his father breathlessly, stepping forward "did you say Casterwill?"
Before the blonde or any of his friends could confirm the fact, or ask about the strange tone and behaviour, the whole cave shook once more and so violently that the stones in the ceiling begun to fall down. Sophie in last moment shielded herself, Lok and holotome from this heavy rain.
"We're under attack!" panicked Cherit
"It's the Organization! They're trying to trap us in here!" cried Zhalia with a mix of outrage and fear
"We won't let that happen," said Dante determinedly, dashing forward without hesitation.
"But my dad!" protested Lok
"Stay here," told him his mentor "Zhalia and I will hold them off"
With that he and the woman in question ran out of the room, heading back for the entrance. They did not get far when Sophie caught up with them.
"Dante I'm coming too," she said, "I know I don't have strong titans like the rest of you, but I can still fight!"
"Sophie that's not it" shook his head the amber-eyed man. Sometimes he wondered which of the two is more socially daft. Lok or Sophie "Lok needs you more than we do. Trust me" he begged. It seemed to work for the girl stopped in her tracks, letting him and Zhalia go alone. But she didn't go back to Lok either. She could not shake off the feeling that Lok's need for her was just a polite put-off. That Dante doesn't trust her anymore and sees her as a weakling who needs to stay behind. The scene from Professor's castle...Sabriel's death played before her eyes once more. She clenched her fist.
"Sabriel if only you were still here" she whispered ruefully. She wasn't however allowed to dwell on the past this day. A piece of a falling stone woke her up and reminded her of Lok and Ethan. She spun around and returned to the chamber. In exactly the same time Dante and Zhalia ran out of the cave, and almost at once had to dodge Gigadrones' attack.
"I must thank you, Dante Vale," said a mocking voice from above and when the duo looked up, they saw a fair-haired man in a white suit and his people "your destruction will pave a way to a new, united Organization with me as its leader"
Dante imminently got up and jumped on the nearest rock.
"Confident, are we? Think it's gonna be so easy?" he asked pulling out another amulet and summoning his own new titan-Elf King Oberon.
The Titan was a cousin of Ariel, just like the other elf he had pointy ears and long light hair. The difference between the two laid in clothing, Oberon had a red-and-golden armour on and his face was covered with a mask, and on his brow rested a crown. He also fought with a sword rather than with bare hands like his cousin. Zhalia did not stay behind her partner, calling out Ghar-Ghoul's name. The stone dragon was her best bet since they were close to the water.
Their enemy was quick to respond. The white-clad man ordered his people to attack and thus the combat started.
In the heart of the cave, Lok who obeyed Dante's orders was still conversing with his father and right now listening to explanation's as to why his parent decided to disappear.
"Listen, I didn't cross over to run away from the Professor," he said "I'm preparing for much bigger threat"
"Worse than the Organization?" asked his son in disbelief. Was it even...possible?
"So very much worse" confirmed Ethan in a grim voice "I was hoping that the Professor would join me against this common enemy, that's why I led him here. Jumping into the waterfall was a plan B. Luckily I managed to make it into the portal before he senesced me, so he thought I was a goner"
"Dad don't worry," told him Lok "tell me what we're up against, alright?"
"An old enemy, defeated by first Casterwills that now must be faced by his heir. That's why I'm so interested in you young lady" said man turning his eyes to Sophie, who in meanwhile has returned to them. The girl gasped hearing that.
"There are dozens of Casterwill branch families!" she opposed quickly, shaking her head "I'm just an orphan and I've been cut off from the others"
"But Sophie, you're always saying that your family's got all this secrets and mysteries, so anything's possible, right?" tried to comfort and encourage her Lok. He suffered when he saw her so unsure...she used to be so confident in the past! So sure of herself and now she wobbled and looked so scared...
"Any Casterwill is more qualified heir than I am," said the girl stubbornly "there is no way I could be that important"
"It all makes sense!" cried Ethan, seemingly ignoring her words "my years of research are coming together. You're a direct descendant of Casterwill himself, who brought titans to the world to save all life, and you're the inheritor of his legacy"
When the elder Lambert was speaking of her inheritance Sophie smiled a little, but as the speech went on to the part about legacy a shadow of doubt appeared on her face. She looked as if she wanted to believe but feared at the same time. She sighed looking to the side unable to keep the eye contact with holographic figure anymore.
Outside the cave, the battle was fierce and brutal. Seekers and Titans both clashed with each other, the spells whooshed and exploded all around mixing with sounds of kicks and punches. At some point of this fight, Ghar-Ghoul was sent back to his amulet by the blonde leader and titan Myrmidon, a colossal warrior in a red belt and hoplite helmet. Zhalia feeling the loss of energy, fell to her knees letting out a hiss of pain. Her opponent, a female suit with yellow hair tied up in tight bun tried to take advantage of this situation but Zhalia still held fast and used Shadowspeed punching the other woman and defeating her. But by doing so she took an involuntary step back, which put her in danger from a tall, female titan with big green hair and body. Luckily Dante noticed this and exclaim his beloved's name pushed her out of the way.
"Are you injured?" he asked worriedly, helping her up and scanning her body for bruises.
The woman raised her eyebrow and smirked
"You were worried about me" she noted casually "don't forget. I can take care of myself"
The amber-eyed man smiled. If she spoke like that, then she was ok. He slowly nodded his head.
"Right," he said determinedly "let's step it up and buy Lok the time he needs"
The things in the cave were looking by this time very grim and rather shaky, Literally. The cave was collapsing, and the stones rained down without any control. The Nexus broke in half.
"This does not look good" worried Sophie running up to it. Both Lamberts looked at her.
"Sophie, you've gotta fix it!" implored her Lok, and she at once went to work. She threw one Findshape after the other, but in vain. Even more, the effect was opposite to her wishes, for the crystal rejected her spell backfiring it and sending her to the ground.
"No!" she cried shielding her head with her arm "the power is out of control!"
"Oh no" gasped the blonde, before turning to his father "hold on dad!" he cried.
"I'll be fine" calmed him his parent "you have the Casterwills to worry about. You have to help the Casterwill family realize it's destiny. You're the only one who can do it"
"Me? But how?" questioned the boy "how will I know what to do?"
"I've learned everything by studying the lost prophecies left by Casterwill family seer. Nostradamus" explained his father calmly. At that moment a piece of stone fell down, and Janusea was hit by the energy of Nexus. Some part of this power hit also the holotome causing it to lift up higher.
"Dad, you've gotta tell me! Where are the prophecies?" asked Lok hurriedly. He could feel that his talk with his father is going to end very soon and he as wild to know as much as he could.
"Right here in a secret file," said Ethan calmly "hidden in my old holotome" he added pointing at the levitating device, while Sophie did her best to buy him and Lok some more time. Her spells however only backfired on her.
"You must lead Casterwills to the Spiral" kept repeating his father "the Spiral"
"Dad! Don't go!" cried the teen desperately seeing that his parent is breaking up.
"Lok, tell your mother and sister that I love them and..." the man paused due to lack of power...he wavered. Lok exclaimed his name one more time in sheer despair.
"Don't worry I'll be back" repeated the older man "I love you son!" he cried before disappearing completely. Lok stared for a while at the spot before reaching out for the holotome. The moment he took the device the Nexus blew up, covering everything in a thick cloud of dust and smoke.
"Lok!" cried Cherit looking around for his friend. He soon spotted the young seeker, kneeling in the corner and hugging holotome to his chest.
"Dante and Zhalia are still out there!" exclaimed Sophie also running up to him and reminding him and Cherit about the two friends that allowed them to have a conversation with Ethan in the first place. The blonde teen sighed and looked at her with sorrow in his blue orbs.
Sophie's anxiousness proved, however, to be very much justified. The two older seekers were rather outnumbered and getting tired. The green haired titan who'd almost got Zhalia now defeated Oberon. Dante hissed in pain backing off a bit. Myrmidon at once ceased this chance and approached the amber-eyed seeker. His master-the bearded white-haired man- smirked viciously and prepared himself to throw a spell. Seeing this Zhalia jumped at him, but her way was blocked by the bald man in a turtleneck. She tried to hit him but he dogged.
"They're fast" she observed "these are not your everyday Organization goons"
"We'll see" answered Dante and his fists lit up with power, as he shot Toucharm at the bearded man. But the foe was fast to respond with another spell. It would have surely hit the auburn-haired man if it wasn't for Janusea, who appeared in front of him seemingly out of nowhere and sent the spell back at its caster. The bearded man fell on his back. As if on a cue Dante and Zhalia turned around to see Lok and Sophie standing on the shore of the lake.
"I think you've forgotten someone" smirked the Casterwill, putting her hands on her hips, while Lok summoned Basilard. The Titan has changed a lot since the last time he had been summed, he grew much bigger and muscular and his armour and helmet were better and richer. Lok gave him the order to attack by their telepathic link. Short afterwards Gigadrone was destroyed.
"You've Powerbonded with Basilard!" cried Dante, while the teen gave out another order dealing with Myrmidon. The Organization seeing what was happening quickly turned around and escaped, like always threatening the team with promises of another meeting.
"They're good," said Zhalia when the green titan covered her masters' exit "I can't track them through that. What now?" she asked turning to her team.
"The Nexus burned out" informed them Sophie "there is nothing we can do"
"Lok...I'm so sorry" whispered Dante. He really felt sorry for the kid. This whole business with Ethan was getting more and more frustrating. Just when they were about to finding something out when it seemed they're close to their goal it disappeared. Again. Like in some damn Greek myth.
"No" shook his head the teen in question trying to convince others as well as himself that it's fine "my dad knows what he is doing. He went there for a reason. This" he added looking down at the old holotome.
Dante's House, Venice, Italy
The dark night fell over the city of Venice and the full moon rose to the star sewed sky. It was time for most people to sleep, the only ones who weren't were those who had some bad intentions and those who persuade ancient secrets, like the Huntik Team. The four seekers gathered in the house of their leader waiting for Zhalia to find the file Ethan spoke about. They spent this time in various ways, for example, Dante meditated, while Lok paced thou and throw, across the room.
"Don't worry Lok" said Sophie who has been hanging on the chair, watching Zhalia "if anyone can hack into Foundation's holotome it's Zhalia"
"I think I found it," said the woman almost at the same time "it looks like a mix of old French and Latin"
"Let me see!" exclaimed Sophie almost tearing the holotome away from her teammate.
"What is that?" asked Lok coming up to them, and leaning over. The screen displayed some long text.
"These are properties in forms of poems!" breathed the Casterwill girl, barely containing her excitement "fifty of them!"
"Lok, Ethan left these for you to decipher" stated Dante also joining his friends "they must be filled with clues"
"About the Casterwills and also the Spiral he mentioned" added the heiress of said family, with wide eyes. Here she thought...she lost all hope to find out more about her family and now there were fifty prophecies!
"Sophie, my dad left us a mission," said Lok with deep confidence "and it might be the biggest one yet" he added furrowing his brow.
I'm changing stuff again. I've noticed some stuff needs rendering(mistakes in grammar that I failed to notice bc dysgraphia) and also I wanted to flesh out some things from my own universe. I realized that hey, I'm writing this story, I don't have to stick to all scenes in canon. also, this is a written word so I can put more explanations and stuff. So here it is. I hope y'all like it and all. I'm still keeping the soundtracks tho. Bc, it was an awesome idea.
