Serge, Kid and Lynx all
walked down the dark flame lit hall way towards a large doorway.
"Oi
mates. Why not check in there? I'm ready to give em the real power
of a Radical Dreamer!" Kid laughed. Serge covered her mouth and put
his finger up to his mouth.
"Shh… they are in there, whoever
captured us." Serge whispered hearing some dark voices in the room
beyond the doorway.
"Told you she was just a stupid brat…"
Lynx muttered under his breath placing his ear against the door to
listen. He tried explaining what he heard to them.
"They are speaking of
this gateway and a flame greater than the frozen flame. I hear
something about another dimension in a different time. They are
talking about using something called the Tear of Time with the Frozen
Flame to create something… that's all I hear…" Lynx stopped
suddenly hearing the crackling of fire. Then, the door burst into
flames sending Lynx backwards skidding across the
concrete.
"Listening to our conversations cat? I should have
destroyed you while I had the chance…" a tall man held his hand
into the air beside him to attack but stopped stiff when something
appeared before Lynx.
"Zut, you shall not hurt one hair on
Monsieur Lynx…" she commanded sending glowing bolts of energy at
the man. The bolts the man's coat making him step backwards.
"Harle…
you are pathetic. You help these pathetic whelps?" he asked
disgusted. Serge held the Mastermune and stepped in between the
two.
"You are pathetic…" the man laughed. His laughter
stopped when he hear a whisper from behind.
"Pilfer…" Kid
whispered stealing the Dragon Tear from him and appearing behind
Serge.
"You little brat!!" he yelled. Suddenly, a claw
appeared in his face.
"No, her name is Kid… not brat." He
growled inching his claw closer to the man's face. Kid was shocked
to hear Lynx say that. Serge didn't say or do anything; he stayed
in his battle position.
"Hey Masa,
Master needs our help…what do we do?" Mune
asked from the swallow.
"Well,
let's help him! Duh…" Doreen
said. The Mastermune started to glow brightly.
"You… you're
the bearer of the swallow…" the man yelled but before he could
grab Serge, all four disappeared teleporting back onto Opassa
Beach. Kid slumped down onto the sandy
shore tired while Lynx walked over to the area the portal to the
world between was. Serge on the other hand walked up to the water's
edge and remembered what happened three years ago. Harle floated
above the ground behind Kid resting but Serge still couldn't stop
thinking about the past. He was the wave crash into him and the face
of the Time Devourer.
"What's wrong mate? You ain't acting
like yer self lately." Kid asked. Serge peered back at Kid and
shook his head.
"It's… nothing." Serge whispered
softly.
"Hmph… fine then. Oi Lynx, did ya mean what ya said
back there?" Kid asked laying back. Lynx growled and didn't
answer her.
"Oi mate. You still that necklace I gave ya?" Kid asked Serge. Serge looked at Kid and nodded slightly.
"It's at home… I never took it here because I don't want to mess the time line up again causing all sorts of problems. I can run home though and get it. It isn't like it going to make much difference now since whoever that guy was is looking for us four." Serge said walking past Kid and Harle.
"Right
and if any of those buggers show up then you can wipe them out clean
right?" Kid laughed. Serge chuckled and walked away from the other
three. Harle opened one eye slightly and watched Serge walk into
Lizard Rock.
"I shall go with 'im just in case…" Harle
said disappearing. Serge walked thru Lizard Rock with no fear passing
only trees and coral reefs. He ran thru his head what Lynx had
explained.
"Tear of Time? Who was
that guy…? What does he want with the Dragon Tear that Kid stole
from him? What is this whole creation? What can possible happen with
the Frozen Flame…?" Serge asked
himself questions in which couldn't be answered. Serge sighed as he
left Lizard Rock and started to walk down the grassy path towards
Arni Village. Harle faded in beside him floating with a smile.
"Ze
night is so pure right now unlike three years ago where it was
darkened by hatred and how you say evil?" Harle asked looking up at
the dark night sky. Serge didn't flinch but was surprised that
Harle appeared.
"Yeah, I can only imagine right now what the
other world is like. How Guile, Korcha, the other Leena and the rest
are doing right now. I wonder if the four Deva's have finished
rebuilding Viper Manor there…" Serge asked both Harle and
himself. She laughed.
"Oui, you are correct Serge. Everyone is
probably living out zere lives like nothing happened…" Harle
laughed. The two slightly laughed before they entered the village.
"Hey there Serge!
How's your ma doing tonight?" an old man by the front gate asked.
Serge shrugged.
"She doing fine I guess…" Serge said. Harle
and Serge entered the house where they met his mother sitting
down.
"What happened?? Are you okay?? I haven't heard from you
for so long!!" she asked frantically grabbing Serge by the
shoulders.
"Hey, I'm fine. Don't worry… I'm just here to
grab something and I'll be back in a little bit…" Serge
assured. The two entered the room and Serge checked on his shelf to
find the Astral Amulet.
"I hope this still
works…" Serge prayed. Harle nodded.
"Oui, I am sure it will
work…" Harle smiled floating out the door with Serge following
her. The two walked back the way they came without any trouble to
find Kid and Lynx arguing.
"What is zis?? You two are
impossible' …" Harle sighed stepping between them. Serge walked
up behind her shaking his head in disappointment.
"Look, if we
are going to work together… we have to at least be able to not
fight each other right?" Serge asked secretly rolling his eyes.
Harle nodded in agreement.
"Oui! Serge is right, you two need to lighten up or else we are never going to get anywhere in what's happening…" Harle floated over behind Serge and nodded. Serge slowly walked forwards towards the dimension hole not sure if it would work or not.
"I
don't know if this is going to work. Even if it does, I don't
know what to expect on the other side. I don't even know if I can
take all four of us. What if something happened to the other world to
make it die? What if the gate opens but sends me somewhere else? No,
I can't think badly or else something bad will happen. We will all
get there safe and sound with no problems on the way there and there
in general. It's time to do this…"
Serge thought in his head as he inched closer to the spot.
"Well
mate, let's do this right?" Kid asked smiling. Serge looked at
Kid then Harle and finally Lynx.
"Monsieur Serge, whether it is
how you say likable, this is your team. Why cannot we just put the
past behind us and work together on zis?" Harle asked. Lynx scoffed
and nodded.
"She's
right. I don't like you two but if it means living in a year then
so be it…" Lynx whispered silently.
"Then, on the count of
three, we are going to the other world once again. One…" Serge
held the amulet out in front of him.
"Two…" Serge gripped
onto the amulet making it shine green.
"Three!"
Serge thought. Suddenly, he felt this rush of energy when he saw a
green wave of energy surround him and engulf him in a dark room.
Serge slightly opened his eyes to see something lick his
face.
"Sergipoo?? Is that yooooooooou???" a voice asked Serge
from before him.
