As strange ..even with the slight 'copyright infringement ' this title may impart onto the reader, it's very standard in order for the new part two of Arc Restart to take place. Spoilers ! This is the last chapter of New Gen part one! Part two will be in the epilogue below. And one more thing! ~ Arc restart's main enemy WAS mentioned (think back to the Eternal railway ride with our princess waiting for her stop? Eh? Well, Ami is still I'll and the cause is uncertain; was it her weakening link between Amaterasu's influencia, magic? Or was Gem's craft only a temporary one shot to reassure the heroes during their trip to the Under realms of the Snowy Barrens'?
Stick around and you will not be disappointed for what is to come! The ending from chapter, now Chapter 22, is about to continue!
Aiden was in shock against the rippling illusion as Horus forced their veiled cover apart. The heroes followed behind and the guardins and deity did what they could to escape the collapsing world forever.
As if a time bubble to keep the citizens in check as the last time, the world soon came back to itself. Waves crashed as California stayed wide awake to what October would bring with it. The cheers of boardwalk goers was impossible to miss. They had come from the same location as the last arc! (These new years location after trapping and defeating Roku. )
"Is..everyone present?" Kori asked, herhead spinning in a tilt as she held onto Ami with both arms. Dick was helping both she and Anna up, when a sudden portal opened to the hero's surprise.
"Oy...we are in trouble it seems." Kaien had revert to his weathered, sailor look before the vortex's breaking point had shifted. The ones to arrive through the oval shaped tear were not as the heroes had expected .
~Queen..Hecate!?~ Kaien gasped and fell to his knees, forcing glares into his branch family's eyes to do the same.
Esma, Kayu, Ron..though not Cliff or Vee had their backs lowered before the crone's elegant stature. Dark as they did entail, her tresses were long beneath her tall cowl's hood. He grecian deity was knwn in more than a single culture. Death, rebirth, mysterious and magical...Kayu gulped by her presence. This, was Kaien's true employer all along.
"Verr?" Gar looked up and remembered this deity from his pull away into forgotten realms. ( She led him back to his friends, when captured by Rokou in arc These new years part two.)
"Kay...then , um..how do you do..miss-
~Silence is golden, I must meet now with your leader. ~
Damian dusted off his arms as he rose to greet the woman in violet and obsidian. "That would be me. " He replied, unafraid of this creature from another time and space. She looked him over with a silent face, her features still and completely withdrawn. Even Raven would find it troublesome to see into this, goddess's mind.
~Your kind are unloyal to the contract..and, yet a prophecy was averted. The boy for to-day, he is to come before the coun-
~Why ? We defeated Apep!" Anna shouted, her ears ringing badly enough from enough headaches in her time.
~He is to locate the Phoenix by his strength. The great bird has become tainted by an outsider's , influence.~ The deity spoke this in a domineeering way. Ann frowned and crossed her arms strickly to her chest. Puffing it out even while Astarte was present, the red- headed teen spoke up. Her brother was so gonna have to get his own way out of the underworlder's territory. She was near out of spark herself!
~Hathor would not like that you'd exclude one from the prophecy. ~
"Huh?" Ann looked into Horus's eyes as he smirked inwardly to the trickster deity woman. ~The girl is his protector,a new breed of Guardian for our council to watch over-
~Your sect has made contact with the human branch!?~ Hecate started , swiftly taken aback by the sun- child of lore's sharp tongue.
~Yes, she, the siblings Ava Marie and Amelia as well are included within the written works of such a master- plan. ~
~What proof? Did Isis decide to defy the Grecian laws' truce? And of course, she doth understand whyst we dareth to not approach 'her highness..' You are no messenger to my kin.. child. ~
~He is no longer a prince, simply a Universal being meant to return order to as it should be. Should we not regard this , Queen of Hades?~
Hecate sniffed by Horus's remark. Time was short and ticking away, the deity had predicted a new threat..yet the Heroic Titans remained in the dark still..
~This decree is not of chance to ye or thy charges. The council requires 'the chosen of the golden dawn' . Have you made my day yet? Your mother would indeed weep! Come , come, I intend to explain wherest thy sect resides. ~ Aiden was grasped onto with the strength of the occultic mother's will. Her power encased him as Anna shouted out. Herfeet flew from her parents' side as the past seemed to return again to torment them all!
~Then if you should steal away his living hour a while, I too shall attend this meeting before the Eternal realms' orderlies!~
Hecate swerved around to see the intruders who had leapt through a single rift together.
"Raven! Ava Marie! " Starfire cried with tears of joy clinging to her moistened eyelids..
"What took you guys?" Gar smirked as the two heroines turned their eyes to meet face to face with 'the crone' in the flesh.
~You are not well to address this manner as a royal child to the E-
~The importance of this matter involves my connection to the Chosen's fate. ~ Ava interrupted with a solid line, not a frown to locate on her pale face. "Lady Hecate, you are here, though did not get everyone's permission. Ava is the 'guardian ' to the prophecy's last child of the dragon's influence." Raven butted in and had everyone amazed by her sworn loyalty to the teams.
~This is unecessary ! Inexcusable! Why must you delay what cannot be un- done?~ The groan of the crone herself made Raven raise a brow. Why was the deity so desperate to leave their world? What was her real plan ?
~The guardian pillar of the Daia line , has been dismissed...I...have no time left in order to stop the rise!-
~Catalina!?~ Kaien exclaimed as if this were his daughter in danger of being harmed by a second party. ~What does she have ta do with yer makin' a scene!-
Hecate raised her eyes to the sky and let out a low , croak of a chuckle. ~There is another playing her role..yet his mind is of delerium-
"What else is new..." Vee rolled his eyes to this new villain's description.
~He has already left the station of my kin...we must ride to he whom unfurls the balance!~
"Hecate!" Raven levitated to the deity and tried to calm her adversary down. "What is after you? Why are you trying to take Aiden-
~The council is strict. I will say nothing more than this in warning. ~ The goddess brushed off the empath with a flick of her wrist. ~The Manifesto page is still active, the prophecy is no longer living proof, yet it has sewn the seeds of spite and vengence in another...you may only know...find the last copy of the Forbidden myth! It has become a tome in which I cannot end alone...~ Hecate turned to smoke and mist as her words hovered overhead the heroes' heads.
~You are still taking my brother!~ Ann fired her weapon into the dying skies of and evening glare.
~Twigh..light...she got away by changin' the hour...damned crone!~ Vee soon had a strange senstation though in his limbs as the dog had lost his ability toremain tangible. "Uh oh...Guys!" Wally pointed for the heroes to take notice. Verra just shrugged and chuckled nervously by the command from his original form.
~They probably did not convict Takahara!.. ~ He shouted alound, as the switch made the air dense as a low rising cloud bed.
~Idiot! I'm not gonna let you skiddadle fer yer own sake! Get yer butt onto the ground ...or I!-
~Too late! Go to fix Ami's condition, she's weak as Amaterasu's power is...it's in our rift...figure it out soon! Find the one responsible..hurry!~
Kayu dove in after Vee and immediately lost his form of a deity- being,tothat of his older guise 'Calumon of interdimensional appearances.'
~Ohh! We have lift off! I'm gonna find the way back with V-Vee! Wait for uuuusss!~
Ron was in lunge position to jump in, though Kaien stopped his reckless family member from getting caught in the tides as well. ~If Sayumon sees you as bait fer the 'manifesto' whatsermacallit, then I'm a dead foul with fox's jaws still gripin on the truth!~
~Huh?~ Henry still wanted to guess that Kaien did not just make up sayings from time to time. ~
~He'll look like the culprit if he stands out, foxes are tricksters.~ The warrior Glen shook his head and frownd. "You forgot about that ?~ Henry blushed by the lesson having been disregarded too quickly. ~Training within the Eternal school was a bore. I am hands- on mage! And not a book savv-
~No wonder you cannot keep up with the story! Hah! Back ta class ! I thought you were a reincarnated kid of fae origin? Did ya lie to me on that one!?~
~Heavens forbid it ! ~ Henry mock- fainted to annoy Glen , as Gregory watched on with a growing headache.
"Thenn..wait!" Ann checked on Ami with her eyes focused on something..she would have never guessed...
"Mana, energy..you need more than a candy bar! " Annie clapped her palm straight over her face and sighed heavily.
"She's...psychic?-
"Yup, we are connected by 'big bird' so I know more than you guys would have thought..or even myself..."
"You are like...that's cool and all." Damian shook his head as the anxiety in him only grew. "But my father and the entire JLA will be up in arms if they find out what's been going on for an entire month!-
"Time is doing fine, Dami. " Dick reassured his family member, even though it was hard to expect a reply by that comment.
"Why should I not want to question your part in this mess, Grayson?" Dami squinted the elder's way as his eyes narrowed dangerously towards the ex-hero. "I know what those spirit do, how they work and function right under our noses. Team? We are headed to Japan. Ami will be fine since it is a place a part of Amaterasu's powers. Kori? Send word to Bruce and make sure h-
"I'm not letting you go free after all we went through to stop a winter- demon ! " Damian Wayne fumed to the ex- leader stealing his job in broad daylight. "I will tell Bruce to let me go too. Otherwise, my team will keep you on -
~Impossible!~ Ron shook his head. ~We cannot be grounded by mortals! Don't be so naiive! ~
"You can bring your team. It's your mission..." Dick was met with looks of surprise from the heroes. "Why? " Cy shouted into his best friend's ear. "Anna just almost went berserker on a goddess's qrse, and you think it's ok to keep trekkin' round the world like that?!-
~Ami's life is on the line , dad. ~ Jackie shot through the comm unit in Bb's palm. "Whoa! You came outta nowhere! What-
~Papa bear, let em go . Ann can do more good as a Titan if we stop stayin' inside the lines. This could be epic! We could be attacked again and not even see this new enemy creeping up!~
~Conspiracies? Look what you did to my kid's head! ~ Cy was furious as he ranted on to Jackie to drop her rebellious phase. It would no get her intoa good school after all the chaos they had been through. She ended the call after that by simply signing off in a huff. Such loyalty for poor Ami...Cy had to talk to Karen once his job was kaput..
"We go to Shoji's pad, fixthis with a long explanation then get outta Tokyo. If those spirit are playin' the human race like we have no say in how they act...then I won't hold back fer' my kids' future. "
~Dad indeedy! You are so noble, oh St-
"Griping already?" Greg reprimanded Ron as the fox of storms shut his trap as dark as any cavern in the ground.
"Then Tokyo, we have to give Ami backher strength-
"Then, if it wouldbe alright with everyone..." Ava stood beside a careful Raven as she made a suggestion.
"By portal would be the fastest option."
"Can we even open those? I could with enough energy...but it's no-
~Yello? Guardians and empath ? We are your ticket to the Titans' main destination!~ Henry chirped as his wand was out and working with a bug eyed Greg beside himself. "When Dreamwake finds out what we have...-
"Aiden and pip- squeak first, then you guys can get back home and relax!" Ann grunt in her deepest tone, her dominating nature was still firey as that bird had intended it to be. "To Japan!"
"Right!" The heroes shouted aloud as the guardian and magician bunch got to work creating a way across the globe.
Ava held her chest and thought to herself. As easily as she had found train rides to be the second best beside flight, her heart could not stop thinking about what fear really seemed to be. A demon causing her to doubt her role as a reincarnated child of a snow maiden. The fight and wars fought that could decide the outcome for both worlds...Was Aiden ok? Should Alue knw more than she had been shown previously? ?..
~Soon...~ Ava gulped back her growing fears. ~I just hope that we are not too late..~
/EPILOGUE!
Teen Titans; Arc Restart; New Generations; The Manifesto Pages arc: Return of the Crooked Story- teller. In progress, needs revision ..now I give to you..arc 13!
Preview:
The doors to a wide room led to narrowing halls, up flights of stairs to a well crafted elevator..All of this technology baffled the mastermind hidden, as his eyes widened curiously towards the ceiling pannels. It was now or never in a thousand years...
The swift footwork of the tyrant visitor's saff was that of those clad as mysteriously as their advisor. Their manager would become just that, a powerhouse to lead the time in his direction.
"Sire? Oh! I mean, Mr-
"Hah! Lao Ming!" The leader of the smalo group turned his face towards one of his attendants. Well, she was of Asian descent with the features of a youth, as she was only a teen by her built.
"Lao Ming, we must use caution as this foreign state coud deceive ...quiet and after me..." The girl huffed as her short sleeves were pushed back . She crossed her arms and knew that waiting would be risky as well.
"Charl!"She hissed to her companion as his ears lined up by Lao Ming's lips. "You require m-
"You would think our leader to know the location of our target.." She whispered while their head honcho's back was turned. "He is new to this realm. " Charl shrugged and pretended that he was just as invisible as his allies in this distant realm.
Lao Ming smacked her face by how these males were so clueless! The council could send their best...they were criminals of their supposed realms, following a mysterious youth like herself who spoke in an adult's tone..He was the most suspicious of their very crooked group. Lao Ming had been an acrobat in her time of spirit hours. Charl had been a son to a knight in his period of living. This man..this silver haired trickster made her ears perk up...As a Tenkit citizen that was!
(Kitten (Tenkit) rearranged, as these are hybrid spirits with cat attributes. From earlier arcs, Jin Mae had been the emperor's bratty daughter who had kidnapped Robin to make him her own...yuck..After a successful escape route and aide from the false Doctor Aaron Brocton( Desguised Slade under orders by Roku's made influence), the princess had not returned until many years later. Greg had found that after a fall from her favorite horse, JinMae had turmed to a persona that was of a Lynx spirit from even further back into the past. Min was then returned to her end as Hathor came to use that body as her incarnate of the Sphinx's relic. She now is the assure height as JinMae, though her origin is of a big cat, not a cow as the original Hathor was viewed. She had many forms so I draw able to pin down one character flaw to add to this reincarnated goddess's guise..)
"Should I box your ears, as to be so cruel of course?" Teased Charl with a chortle. Lao Ming did not enjoy being taunted as her eyes dialated towards the rude bore- her partner in crime!
"Touch me and you'll fly ten stories back down to the netherworld...I won't take your!-
"We have arrived, despite your idiotic banter.." The silver haired male leader sniffed with an uptured nose. He prestended to walk ahead even as the glares behind our enigmatic villain grew to fill the hallway.
The door was to an office that read 'Head' in the title. The silver haired male grinned by this stroke of decent luck. "I'll do the negotiating. " He shot back in a low voice to his crew of misfits. "Stay here and keep watch. "
"But..they could have an assasin!" The Tenkit child hissed in rebuttle. "You must bring at least my self in! You might be ambushed by a killer!" The silver haired leader sighed, then had only Charl to stand guard per his lackey's request.
Upon entering the unoccupied room, the staff head's desk left an imprssion on the leader as he closed the door behind him. "So..dark..." Lao Ming whispered by the privacy these humans craved...how interesting...
"Check the desk, don't wait. " The leader pushed his cohort to walk, possibly straight into the enemy's line of sight!
"O..ok..." Lao Ming was not always brave, anxious more so ewhen she was teased. Though this was so off...everything...looked li-
~Hidden spire! Strike !~ The sound of a sharp blade whizzed by with Lao Ming hanging on by her claws to a stretch of the room's lighting ...
"I did not understand this world to hide so many secrets..." The one to walk out and greet the braisen brat enemy, was none other than a rather cross Sakurano Ayane with Lori's power in hand.
"You traveled to this plane to create a mess of it. I will not allow matters tpbe muddled by your actions! "
"You are also of another time...Youreyes tell a stary- eyed story of tragic loss.." The boy as the mastermind,yet his fsce wasthat of a wizarding soul. He held a bokk of many sacred symbols in his grasp. Lao Ming transformed into a beastly being of her Tenkit origins. It circled the advisor to an again missing Takahara Shoji...only Lorelai Ainsley's magic would protect this place from an interdimensional foe...wait!
~That book is! ~ She had not a chance to finish as the relic handed over it's power to this ice blue eyed villain in silver and black clothing. ~'The queen laghed and set her serrvant child to the celler..She poured again and again insults to engulf the child's very thoughts. Each stinging the girls skin as red cinders by a flaming hearth' ...now..Your power over me is weak...you scrub floors and toil for your ruler...Story to tell, story to write...change this maiden to be quite a sight!~
~A story teller..the race of magical...power.. hungry sages!~ Lori screamed* as her magic evaporated. Only to be stolen a while by this intruder...
"So..weak..." She fell into a deep sleep as the Tenkit girl chuckled with her cheshire smile still in place. "Is the woman as you say?" Lao Ming asked her leader. He paused and shut his book with a snap. "She had the scent of a traitor ...even now I recall 'his' rebellion within the Isles..it burns into my memory..I sold everything to have my revenge on the demon with a red glare..that monster...Raku..."
"Then this place is now under your control!-
"No no, we must first look into our under -cover spy's work...she is not even aware of what that influence has done. Then, only then shall we have the honor of hunting down the monsters of that traitor's line..to show him who the TRUE MANIFESTATION GOD IS!"
(This character is in my Wattpad story The Forbidden Myth, Veil of Times series..Go check it out cause I I'll only reveal in the next arc to come!)
He was in such a traumatized state that the return to a new time, would have seemed a task to best all other ploys..
"I will rewrite this history..starting with the descendants of the demon's evil clan!" Laughter would never drown out the horrific times , those days were lost. The boy was but a resurfacing 'evil' in himself. Yet for that trade, the Book of Manifesto had become his...his weapon to win over this world so strange and new..
"I , Sir Marcus Philanius Borgges shall become the one to destroy..those...to have thrown this enemy to the strix's jaws. His kin will pay dearly for having allowed my turning ...just wait...I will hunt you all to the brink of extinction! Starting with the realms bent apart and the days of their ominous fall to come!"
TO BE CONTINUED...
