Prologue: Seekers, We have a mission
6 years after the Professor's Demise.
Lok stared at himself in the mirror, his eyes glinting in the moonlight passing through the window; he looked back at the double bed he had been sleeping in and found that piercing emerald eyes stared back at him.
"What is it?" asked Sophie inquisitively.
Lok stared at his wife since yesterday and smiled "I was remembering when we first met."
Sophie smiled back "Which meeting, the one before the history exam or 2 years before in Science?"
Lok laughed and sat next to her on the bed, calm night's breeze brushing her hair in an attempt to make her look more dangerous in her bedclothes "I meant when I completed that crossword… your face was unforgettable" He said grinning and Sophie grimaced.
"Will you ever let that drop" She asked pleadingly
"Of course not, that was a great moment for me… and puzzles are one of the two things I can beat you at; Fighting being the second."
"Oh is that right Lok Lambert, well shall we test that" she said standing up and chanting Titan Call. As her power brought her amulets to her hands in a moment, Lok reached under his pillow to reveal his.
Lok bowed "Shall we take this outside, Sophie Lambert?"
Sophie curtsied "It is for the best". They both smiled cheeky smiles as they played Lord and Lady of the country house in which they had taken their honeymoon until Lok kissed her passionately. They separated and went nose to nose, "Lok" Sophie said softly
"Yes?" said Lok equally softly
"Get ready to lose". They both grinned and jumped out of the top floor window of their rented country estate, with a Feather Drop they landed and began their battle. Lok opened with his normal move nowadays, Kipperin left his amulet in a burst of light that penetrated the twilight and lit up the opening that would be their midnight arena. He immediately left to the air, Sophie immediately let out Icarus to use its arrow in an attempt to light up the sky and find Lok. She saw the distinctive flash of a titan being released in the air and shot a Boltflare where she had seen it, she got a flash of Lok dropping to the ground and Baselaird being flown by Kipperin Feyone and began to head in Lok's direction while Icarus continued to search for the other two.
Lok stared at the Boltflare above him and cursed, she had seen him let Baselaird out and probably seen him drop, she would be heading this way with Feyone out right now he though I need to think fasthe heard a rustling ahead and dived into a bush, Sophie emerged with Raypulse at the ready and Feyone readied for a fight. Lok looked down at his remaining amulets, Lindorm, Freelancer and Springer, he realized that if he released one he would be spotted, so he waited.
Sophie emerged into the small clearing with Raypulses beating warmly in her hands, they lighted the way and she could see the flies buzzing, now was the time to test her new spell; She shot her hand up in the air and shouted "Reveal!" she thought of seekers and a green sparkle poured out of her hand and over her, her vision altered slightly and she could see the faint glowing outline of Lok behind a bush. Albion burst out of his amulet and they all charged.
Lok saw Sophie's new power and cursed again I knew she would do something like that. He mentally signaled for Baselaird to drop behind his now charging enemies and for Kipperin to pick up Sophie. At that moment he also let Lindorm loose who in won swift movement rolled and destroyed Feyone.
It all happened so quick for Sophie, one moment she had the upper hand and then all hell broke loose. She turned to see Feyone obliterated by an enraged Lindorm and turned the other way to see Albion stabbed in the back by Baselaird, as she raised her hand to blast Baselaird with a double spell she was lifted and missed, as she looked up at Kipperin lifting her she cursed, she was defeated.
Lok smiled and mentally told all of his titans to converge in the arena. As they arrived, Kipperin hovered above the ground making sure that Sophie could not use her hands. Lok grinned "Do you concede?" asked Lok smugly.
Sophie blew a curly lock out of her face, "I do." Lok laughed and told Kipperin to release her.
"Told you I could fight better than you!" Lok smiled
"But can you beat me" a voice came from the bushes. At that moment 3 Strix appeared from the bushes, their yellow bodies brightening the dawn light. 1 pierced Kipperin and 2 teamed up on Baselaird, Lok was stunned as a sword came flying through the air and Lindorm was defeated. Dante and Zhalia's silhouetted figures appeared in the bushes.
"Sorry you two" Dante said "But your Honeymoon will have to be cut short; Seekers, we have a mission."
