The Adventures of Leoni
By Leoni Liponscovi
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Prologue~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let me first explain about this realm. First of all, Appoclypses are the only animals. They're much like Pokémon, but bigger in every way. Secondly, almost everyone in this realm call themselves a Christian. Thirdly, the humans have powers as well. There's a prophecy, told by a Seraphim, that there'll come one who'll be so powerful, that she'd be able to harness ANY POWER SHE WANTED. This story is about her & her adventures.
Chapter 1
An 11 year old girl named Leoni Liponscovi, who had blonde/brunette hair, dimples, was tall, & had divorced parents, was capturing Appoclypses with her bare hands & a HUGE amount of intelligence. She'd captured 5000 Manta Flyers (which are like multi-colored flying Manta Sting Rays with 3 tails & the ability to learn ANY language) so far, 1,000,000,000,000 total, and she wanted 900,000,000,000,000,000, so she had, like, 899,999,000,000,000,000 LEFT to capture. Just then, she realized she was near a HUGE flock of Butticalz (which are like crosses between birds & reptiles), so she caught 9,000,000,000,000 of them, & headed back home. When she arrived at her dad Grigori Liponscovi's house (which is red) she deposited her latest catch and then went to bed at 8:00 P.M.. At 5:00 A.M. Leoni's dad yelled, "WAKE UP!" while shaking her. "LEONI, WAKE UP NOW!"
"Huh?" Leoni asked.
She opened her eyes just as her dad yelled, "TIME FOR SCHOOL!" Leoni jerked awake & next thing her dad knew, he was outside & her door was locked. Then her door was open, revealing Leoni, dressed, & ready to go, and go she did! Leoni reached the school in 3 min. flat, a new record. She arrived in the classroom in time to steal 90,000,000,000,000 Appos, using teleportation, & help her teacher with setting up the room. When the class began, Leoni got every question correct, because she used Mind Reader to find the correct answer.
After school, Leoni & a few of the Butticalz she'd caught the day before went into the forest to catch some more Appos, make friends, & harvest some fruit. Leoni caught 9,900,000,000,000,000 Appos (Manta Flyers, Butticalz, Hogens [which are like muscular pigs with a machine-gun-like thing on their back that shoots splinters], Calideyes [which are Calico birds with 20 eyes], Aocoolipecas [which are like gigantic giggling snakes that can shoot fire, water, air, or stone out of the holes in their backs, and have 9 inch legs], Katinas [which are like bigger & more powerful Hogens], Kayajiggles [which are like bigger & more powerful Butticalz], Mini-flyers [which are small Manta Flyers with 1 tail], Caylupicos [which are even more powerful than a Luxray in Electric attacks, are extremely agile, & have VERY fast running abilities], & Jokelatanis [which are like giant penguins that are always making jokes], Watokips [which are like dragonflies with butterfly's wings], watokiponanas [which are bigger & more powerful Watokips], Aocoolipecasinowaga [which are like bigger & more powerful Aocoolipecas], Paploocas [which are Appos that can shape shift into anything], Meatmuscles [which are giant fat muscly appos with claws, Super-Strength, & are highly-intelligent],Diggledrains [which are huge Dino-like Appos with horns all over them {you know, like several rhino horns, with bigger ones on their backs, & smaller ones on their arms & legs} & Super-Super-Super-Super-Super-Super-SUPER-Strength], and many more) leaving only 890,000,000,000,000,000 left to capture tomorrow, when she'd find out how to train her Appos.
When Leoni Liponscovi arrived home, her mom Kapolysp Kyinedga was there, along with her new husband named Etakina Kyinedga.
"Leoni! Oh, I missed you SO MUCH!" Kapolysp (nicknamed Kapo) said, hugging her daughter, "You're so strong now, how many Appos do you have now?"
"100,000,000,000,000,000. I've been catching 'em with my bare hands to! Let me explain my method. 1st, I catch them. Next, I befriend them. 3rd, I tell them that they have to get their friends to join me. Simple as that." Leoni said in a tired tone of voice, "Now, I'm tired. Good night." & before anyone could say anything Leoni was in her bed, sound asleep.
"She caught THAT many Appos with her BARE HANDS?" Mr. Kyinedga asked in a disbelieving tone of voice.
"She's an A+ student too." Grigori said proudly.
"Impossible." Mr. Kyinedga said, "James, my best friend, was a B student, & can't even catch ONE Appo with a NET & a GIRL has 100,000,000,000,000,000?"
"Show some respect to your betters, stupid head." Everyone jumped and turned to see Leoni standing on the top of the stairs, "I challenge you to a one-on-one hand-to-hand combat between you and me, weakling!"
"NO-ONECALLS ME AWEAKLING" Etakina yelled, "YOUR ON"
"Very well then, prepare to meet the GREATEST, the AWESOMEST, the ONE & ONLY LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEONI!" Leoni started out in a calm voice, but at the end she was yelling at the top of her lungs in a voice full of venom. At lightning speed she jumped down the stairs & beat Mr. Kyinedga to a pulp before her dad Grigori recovered his voice.
"STOP RIGHT NOW!" He screamed.
Leoni stopped & looked at him, her anger not yet spent. "Why?" she said, confused.
"Because you're killing him!" Her mom screamed at her.
"And the problem with that is?" Leoni asked promptingly.
Her parents stared at her for awhile before her mom exploded, "THE PROBLEM WITH IT IS THAT I LOVE HIM!"
"Why do love that jerk?" Leoni was completely baffled, "Puh. He is a total wimp. Honestly, I thought my mom would be smarter than that."
"THAT'S IT I'M LEAVING! I CAN SEE THAT NO-ONE WANTS ME, SO GOOD-BYE!" Kapo screamed, on the verge of tears.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! NOT AGAIN I WILL NOT LOSE YOU AGAIN!" Leoni's dad yelled, also on the verge of tears.
"Huh?" Leoni asked, even more confused, "Whata ya talkin' 'bout?"
"Nothing, why don't you go check on your Appos, I think I heard something, & you have my permission to kill someone who tries to steal your Appoclypses at any time. Go on." Kapo said quickly.
"Of COURSE you heard something! There's 100,000,000,000,000,000 Appos in there!" Leoni screamed disgustedly, "But, if you two want to be alone, I can arrange that." She said in a totally nice, sweet, & caring tone of voice.
"WHAT?" Her parents screeched at the same time.
Leoni quickly covered her ears, singing, "" over, & over, & over, & over again until her parents put her in a strait jacket with a bandana in her mouth. "I'm going to teach you how to behave in various circumstances," Her mom, Kapo, said, "because it's obvious that no-one has so far." Her mom then proceeded to do exactly as she said, Leoni not being able to stop her because she was blindfolded & in too much anger & pain to call on her powers. Her dad, Grigori, finally rescued her, "Kapolysp, let's go feed the Appoclypses, Alright?"
"UUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN-UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH," Leoni tried to tell her parents not to go into the Appoclypses' enclosure, "-!"
"What?" her dad asked.
"DON' GOOOOO INNNNNNNNN THERE!" It came out slightly muffled, but comprehensible all the same.
"Why?" Kapolysp asked, untying the bandana.
"Because I told my Appoclypses to deafen & blind anyone who wasn't me & looked like they were going to hurt any Appo in any way," Leoni said, slightly out of breath, "unless I told the Appos they were OK."
"Why would they hurt us?" Grigory asked
"Because Mom hasn't met most of them." Leoni said, still breathing heavily, "Could you possibly take this thing off?" She exclaimed twitching her arms, "?" She added when Kapo gave her a look.
"OK, will do." Grigori complied, slightly surprised that LEONI would say PLEASE.
"THANK YOU MUCH!" Leoni burst out gratefully.
"OK, OK, some people like to KEEP their hearing, OK?" Her mom, Kapo, said sarcastically.
"I'm so sorry." Leoni said sincerely.
"Why don't you go feed your Appos & introduce them to your mother, Alright?" Grigori suggested.
"OK, come on! " Leoni was ecstatic.
"Ooo-kay." Kapo was less sure, but she had no choice.
Leoni ran toward the Appoclypse's enclosure, literally dragging her mom with her. "Hey, everyone, this is my mom Kapolysp Kyinedga. DON'T HURT HER OR ELSE!" Leoni shouted the last part with venom in her voice, but the first part was said in a bored tone of voice.
"Hello!" Kapolysp said, feeling slightly uncomfortable, what with all the unknown Appos around.
"Come ON! You guys are INFURIATING!" Leoni shouted once more into the forest, "I'm talking to the Appoclypses, by the way." She added, seeing her mom looking at her strangely.
"Alright." Kapo said, a little doubtfully, wondering if the Appos could understand her.
"Course they can!" Leoni snorted as though it was obvious.
"Oh, okay." Her mom seemed distracted.
"Is something wrong?" Leoni was kind of worried that none of the Appos were in the enclosure.
"No, I just thought that we would've seen some Appoclypses by now." Kapo said, surprising Leoni
"They're probably just at the lake." Leoni grabbed her mom's hand & Teleported to the lake. All the Appos were at the lake, & they were tied up. Leoni untied a few, then they untied a few, & so on, & so forth until all the Appos were untied. "WHAT HAPPENED?" Leoni screamed, "WHO DARED TO TIE MY APPOCLYPSES?"
"It was somebody called James." One of the Appos spoke up, "He has very short black hair, is male, has dark green eyes, is 5 foot 8 in. tall, is about 26 years old, has a tan, is trying to k, & has a very deep voice."
"OK, thank you very much Diffodel." Leoni said, truly meaning it, while she wrote down the information.
"Your welcome, Mistress Leoni." Diffodel said.
"OH! I can't believe I forgot to introduce my mom!" Leoni suddenly remembered, "Everyone, meet my Mom, Kapolysp Kyinedga. Mom, meet Team Lion, of which I am head." Leoni said proudly.
"Very nice to meet you, Mistress Kyinedga." All the Appos said simultaneously.
"Okay, um, nice to meet you too," Kapo said uncomfortably, "You can all call me Kapo, alright?"
"Thank you Mistress Kapo," Diffodel replied, "Leoni, we need food."
"Why do you think I'm here? Let's get some FOOD! YUM YUM YUM!" Leoni shouted the last bit a bit ecstatically. Then she let the Appoclypses out of the enclosure, shouting, "You have my permission to come get me if you find the person who tied you up. NO KILLING!"
"Yes Mistress Leoni" the Appos answered her in their various languages.
Leoni nodded, satisfied that the vandal would suffer serious consequences when caught. "Hey mom, let's get back to the house, OK?" Leoni suggested.
"OK. But first, do all your Appos have names?"
"Of course they do." Leoni looked at her mom as though it were obvious, "I have an encyclopedia of sorts with all my Appos names, types, & photos of them in it too."
"Wow." Was all Kapo could say, "Wow, that must've been a LOT of work."
"It wasn't too bad." Leoni said amiably, "catching them was more work, & that's saying a lot"
"You think catching Appoclypses is easy?" a voice said, "I can't even catch one, & you, a girl-"
"NO-ONE INSULTS ME IF THEY WANT TO STAY ALIVE!" Leoni thundered.
"Oh, really? Well, have I got news for YOU!" the voice asked, and somebody matching Diffodel's description perfectly jumped out of the bushes to Leoni's left, grabbing her roughly.
"LET GO NOW!" Leoni roared in James' ear, (Yes, it is James) almost deafening him, "WHAT IS YOUR NAME?"
"JAMES!" James screamed.
"CALLING TEAM LION! CALLING TEAM LION! INTO YOUR ENCLOSURE! THE VANDAL HAS BEEN CAUGHT!" Leoni suddenly screamed at the top of her lungs.
All of Team Lion soon arrived, & the James' mind was searched. He really was the vandal, & Leoni took 1 Stelkonite (the strongest of her team) with her to turn him over to the authorities, temporarily forgetting her mom.
"Your name is?" Said the first officer Leoni came across.
"I'm Leoni Liponscovi, & this is a vandal who broke into my Appoclypses' enclosure & tied them all up. He had help too, but I don' know who they were. It's no small job to tie up my Appos either, because I have 10,000,000,000,000,000 Appoclypses." When Leoni started talking, she rambled on & on until she was stopped.
"Wait, wait, wait a minute. You said you have TEN QUADSILLIONAPPOCLYPSES?" The officer asked, still digesting this information.
"Um, yeah. Why does everyone make such a big deal about it?" Leoni said, confused.
"Um… maybe because no-one knew there were that many Appoclypses in the world?" The officer said sarcastically.
"Anyway, this guy has possibly STOLE some of MY Appoclypses! What are you going to do about it?" Leoni demanded.
"OK, OK, I'll interrogate… err… um…" The officer trailed off.
"James." Leoni finished for her.
"Yes. James. Thank you." She replied.
"Kon, go get Accanu so we can get this over & done with, alright?" Leoni asked her Stelkonite, who nodded & then ran off. Kon soon came back with an Appo who could read minds. "Accanu, will you please tell the officer who & what helped James tie you up?" Leoni asked the new Appo who nodded.
"He had over 2,000,000 Qualikatons (which are the strongest, biggest, & fastest Appoclypses ever) with him, & when we tried to fight back, his Appoclypses just threatened to kill us all, which made us as tame as sheep because no-one wanted their loved ones to die." Accanu said simply.
"Where are the Qualikatons? TELL US NOW!!" Leoni, Kon, & Accanu roared simultaneously, making everyone within 10 miles plug their ears.
"AT MY FRIEND ETAKINA'S HOUSE!" shouted James, almost completely deaf.
"You mean Etakina Kyinedga?" Leoni asked, "The wimpy jerk?"
"Yes, I mean him! Who'd' you THINK I meant?" James asked sarcastically.
"I don' know. Anyway, you're my Mom's husband's bestfriend?" Leoni said incredulously.
"Who's your mom?" James asked.
Just then, Kapo ran up breathlessly & demanded an explanation as to where Leoni had been for the past hour.
"Finding an officer, turning this guy in, & sticking around for the results of his interrogation." Leoni explained.
"I've been worried sick!" Kapo exclaimed, hands on her hips.
"Sorry Mom." Leoni apologized, hugging Kapo.
"OK, let's go home now, Alright?" her mom asked.
"NO! Back to the interrogation! Meet my mom, Kapolysp Kyinedga. Does that answer your question?" Leoni said, switching topics quickly.
"Yep, it does." James spoke this time.
"Good, take James to the holding cell while I find out where Mr. Kyinedga's house is." Leoni now was speaking to the officer.
"Who, um, me? Sure." The officer replied.
"Great. Kon, go with this officer & make sure James goes into the holding cell." Leoni told her Stelkonite who nodded.
"I'll tell you where Etakina's house is." Kapo interrupted, "I've been there before."
"Thanks MUCH mom!" Leoni said in a completely grateful voice.
"No problem." Kapo told her daughter.
"NOW we can go home, get my 2 Frocilacs (which are huge white flying Appos), & fly to Etakina's house, OK mom?" Leoni then picked up her mom & took off running. They reached Grigori's house in 5 minutes, whereupon Leoni set her mom down in a chair so she could recuperate from being blasted in the face by wind. "Hey, dad." Leoni said, not even affected by her long run.
"LEONI! You're OK! Thank the Lord God Almighty!" Her dad was SOOOOOOOO GLAD she was safe that he nearly crushed her in an immense bear hug. Leoni finally managed to throw him off using Super Super Super Super Strength.
"You… *deep breath* just… *deep breath* nearly… *deep breath* SUFFOCATED ME!" Leoni screamed, outraged.
"Sorry, I'm sooo SORRY!" Grigori said, meaning it.
"It's OK, as long as you don' do it again." Leoni forgave him.
"OK, will do." Grigori replied, "Hey, what happened to your mom?"
"Oh, she's just not used to running at 900,000,000 mph." Leoni answered.
"NINE HUNDREDBILLION MPH?" Her dad asked incredulously.
"Yep, I ran on way-Super Super Speed." Leoni replied.
"I couldn't even run at THIRTY mph when I was 13." Grigori stated.
"Really? No, seriously." Leoni thought he was exaggerating.
"Yeah, seriously!" Grigori was getting kind of annoyed.
"WOW." was all Leoni could say, "WOW." Leoni then went to feed her Appos, and then went to bed to think over what had happened during the day. She went to sleep at 8:30 P.M..
