Wounds of the Heart
Ch 1
Zebedee heard sunds of anger come from the Roundabout.
It made him worried.
It was Zeebad.
He and the others hadn't been the same after stopping Zeebad's brother Naiki.
"He… must be angry.
He hasn't lost his temper like that in a long while." He thought as he vanished.
Zeebad's eyes glowed with white hot rage.
He shot balls of ice and snow around his prison.
He'd been feeling that way after they returned from stopping Naiki.
"Must… stop this!
That battle with Naiki did something to me.
Wait! That weird diamond he was about to use to hurt the others!
It… went into me.
That's why I'm feeling like this." He thought as Zebedee appeared.
The red skinned Magical Springer gasped in shock at this.
Things were littered over the floor along with broken ice glass from the mirror.
"A-Are you okay?" he asked him.
"No. Why would you care?" he said pushing him onto the ground.
"I do because… I love you.
I just never realised it until after defeating Naiki." He thought.
Zeebad then clutched his blue skinned head as he disappeared.
This worried Zebedee.
He had a feeling something wasn't right with Zeebad.
He then went to Earth. He needed Leah and Carley's help with this.
He knew they were the only ones Zeebad trusted.
Leah saw Carley asleep on the couch.
Her friend hadn't been able to sleep since returning from the Enchanted Village.
Carley was a half human/Magical Springer combo of a person.
Leah then saw Zebedee appear in a haze of mutli coloured magic.
"Zeb? Why're you here?" she asked softly.
"I need your help.
It's Zeebad." He said.
"What do you mean?" Leah asked him.
"Something isn't right with him. He's been angry since after we stopped Naiki.
I want to help him but he won't let me.
I was figuring you guys would help. You're the only ones he trusts." Zebedee explained.
Leah looked nervous as she bit her lip.
"I'm not sure Zeb. Carley hasn't slept since we came back.
I don't want to hurt her." she replied to him.
He then heard somebody moan as she got up off the couch.
It was Carley.
"Is Zeebad in trouble?" she asked softly.
Zebedee nodded.
"Yes something has made him... very mad but I don't know what." he answered.
Her blue skinned body trembled at that.
"Are you sure you wanna do this? You haven't been the same since we came back to the Enchanted Village." Leah told her.
"Of course I do. Zeebad's my friend and he's in serious trouble." she told her.
Leah smiled at that along with Zebedee.
"We'd better get back to the Enchanted Village! There's no telling what Zeebad's doing!" Zebedee told them.
They agreed as they vanished in a haze of magic.
They appeared in the Village sqiare.
Zeebad was walking towards them but fainted.
"I'm... sorry." he whispered as his eyes closed as Leah picked him up gently.
They went to Zebedee's house...
