Where we left: "Oh please, that's crap"
Now with the story…
Selegnas, Pure close to Heaven/ Dadlams, Evil close to Hell
CHAPTER 1
"Excuse me?"
"That's crap" The voice repeated, the voice was from a boy with black hair and grey eyes. He was slightly built and had white skin and was handsome for every girl that saw him.
Around his neck he had a silver necklace with a square shaped red Ruby, in the back of the gem was written 'Healer', his name's meaning; he was called Jason Dash and was a recognized Dadlam in the Evil close to Hell realm because the teenager was part of the heir's group of friends. Both of his parents: Dadlams
"You wanted to know something about the past and this is a History book" The one who read the story told to the boy
The reader was a tall girl with dark skin and long black hair tied in two buns on each side of her head, brown eyes and curvy body. Around her neck she had her own silver necklace with a square shaped blue Opal with 'Taintless' written in the back, like Jason, the meaning of the name didn't went well with her realm, and her name was Karen Beecher. Her parents: Selegnas
"No, I didn't want to hear that; he did" Jason answered coolly pointing at other one of the gang
"No one forced you to stay here, you could have gone wherever you wanted" The pointed teen replied
He was as tall as Jason and had short blonde hair with light blue eyes. He was a little more built than Jason and had white skin. Around his neck the silver necklace was adorned with a square shaped Amber with 'Vine' written in the back, his name was Brion Markov. Parents: Selegnas
"He's right, if you didn't want to hear, why didn't you left?" The girl that was talking had pink hair tied in two pig tails at each side of her head, pink eyes that reminded you to the ones of a cat. Pale skin and petite body.
Around her neck was her necklace with a square shaped Morganite, pink as her eyes and hair, and in the back was written 'Gracious', this was defiantly a good description of the girl whose name was Jane Marx. Parents: Dadlams, and she was the heir's best friend
"'Cause I get bored pretty easy, and you know it" Jason answered as if it was the most obvious thing in the world
"Is your brain so small that you can't think in anything to do to entertain yourself?" The question was made by other girl of the gang
As tall as Karen, this girl had black long hair that fell to her tiny waist and purple eyes that demanded respect and had malice in them like a good Dadlam she was. Around her neck she had her silver necklace with a square shaped Aquamarine with the deepest blue you could ever see, in the back it had 'Who must be loved', it was the meaning of her name, she was Mandy Anders. Parents: Selegnas
"Very funny Mandy, you can't have fun without hurting someone" Jason retorted
"Just like you and any other Dadlam living here" Mandy answered checking her nails without interest in Jason
"And in any case, what would be funnier than that?" A boy asked checking himself on the reflection of the window of the library they were in
They boy had orange reddish short hair, white skin and hazel eyes, if you took away the eyes and hair he was similar to Jason in the rest of his appearance. His gem was an orange Topaz that had 'Ruler' written in the back, name's Roy Harper. Parents: Dadlams
"Is that the only thing you think about, Roy?" This time the person asking was another girl in the gang
She had black hair, two bangs at the front of her head were painted red. She had the same skin tone than Jane's and had brown-black eyes. The gem on her necklace was a red Tourmaline and had 'Ardent' written at the back; her name was Toni Monetti. Parents: Dadlams
"Not exactly babe, I like to have fun, but the way to get it; that's what is in my mind everyday" Roy answered turning to face his friends
"So, you do have a mind" A voice said from the end of the hallway
"Finally, I thought you wouldn't come!" Jane exclaimed after recognize who had arrived; there were three teens
One was a boy with black short hair and black eyes, pale as most of the Dadlams, well built but still not too much and a little shorter than Roy. Around his neck his silver necklace was adorned with a square shaped Onyx with 'Adorable' written at the back –something that made everyone laugh at him-, he was called Kevin Wymanher and was mute. His parents: Dadlams
The other was a boy with dark skin, hazel eyes and short curly black hair. A stronger complexion than Kevin's but the same height. His gem was a yellow sapphire with 'Released by the Lord' written at the back, of course 'The Lord' was the god that the Dadlams believed in called Azar. The boy's name was Isaiah Crocket, parents: Dadlams
These two boys were bodyguards, they were the heir's bodyguards and the heir was between the two boys; the one who had spoken
She was a little shorter than Jason and had an hourglass figure. She had short purple hair and deep purple eyes, pale skin and a red gem on her forehead. Her silver necklace had an Amethyst like her gem, at the back of it was written 'Bird of the Death'; name's Raven Roth. Parents: As far as she knows both Dadlams, although she doubted her mother was really the one living with her and her father; something wasn't right about it
"You missed us so much?" Asked Isaiah mocking to be touched
"Aw, c'mon I need to get out of this place before I become a nerd" Mandy said heading for the exit
"As if, you wouldn't even read a book if your life depended on it" Karen teased putting the book back on its place
"Raven" Toni called to the heir "Can I borrow Kevin for a while?"
"Of course, just be sure to arrive with Slade before we leave ok?" Raven replied with a knowing smirk, if you can't figure out what's going on by yourselves then let me inform you; Kevin and Toni were a couple, don't ask me how because no one really knows how she got to understand him and is not like they weren't a good pair
"Why does he have to check our powers every week?" Toni groaned
Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you; each one of the kids of both realms was born with special powers dictated by the day they were born. But they had different names for the powers depending of the realm they belonged to; Dadlam's powers were 'Dark Powers' or 'Defects' and Selegna's powers were 'Pure Powers' or 'Virtues'. How discriminating, huh?
"Rules are rules Toni" Brion replied "At least is just once a week and we don't have to train, I heard the Selegnas practice everyday"
"Ah, the goody-goodies, it was almost obvious" Jason said with the tone the Dadlams used only to talk about the Selegnas: With pity, rage and loath
"Yeah, it was. They can't do anything wrong can they?" Jane commented
"The 'Pure close to Headache'? Oh no, it would be a sin" Roy said faking distress
"But no matter how much they train, they'll never defeat any of us" Karen assured confidently
"Ok, let's stop talking about them and go with Slade, I want to go to the in-between soon" Said Raven walking again with Isaiah close behind
"Hey Raven, wait up!" Jason called jogging to reach her "You need someone to take Kevin's place"
"That's not necessary Jason" Raven replied with a shake of her head
"'Sides, that's what I'm here for" Brion continued stepping between Jason and Raven. Since ever he had had the strange brotherly instinct and his relationship with Raven led him to treat the heir like his little sister, he felt as if it was the correct thing to do for some reason
"Don't need to act like a jealous big bro Brion" Jason said mockingly
"What if I do?" Brion asked back
"I'll race you to Slade's place!" Jane yelled trying to light the mood, immediately the gang ran behind her, all of them except Toni and Kevin, that is
Selegnas, Pure close to Heaven/ Dadlams, Evil close to Hell
: At Slade's place some minutes later:
Whoever that said Dadlams didn't have a good physical condition was out of their mind. The gang ran about 4 miles from the Library to Slade's house.
If you're wondering how the Evil close to Hell realm looks like then let me tell you; the buildings are practically big black glasses of those that you could see from inside to outside but from the outside you could only see your reflection, the buildings were very tall and had red tones on the walls. The Library was the second tallest building in the realm, the tallest was obviously the castle.
The castle wasn't formed of windows like the others, it was concrete with just some windows in each room, and in the middle part of the building was painted the realm's symbol; a big black dragon with large wings and purple stomach called Malchior. The dragon was actually real and was living with Slade, the king's councilor, and he also had the possibility to travel to the in-between thanks to the transformation he suffered when it went trough the portal, Malchior was the royal family's pet.
Slade's house was the third tallest building and had the biggest garden and laboratory of the realm because he was the one who checked the way the teenager's powers were growing, when you reached the twenty years old, not even 18, you were free from Slade's weekly check. He didn't have a child and so he was looking for an apprentice to continue the duty after he leaves it; so far he hadn't chose one
"Well guys, you're punctual with this, aren't you?" Slade asked with his cold voice
He was a man in about his 30's or maybe starting his 40's but was very well built and strong, blonde grayish hair and lightly tanned skin. He wear a black patch on his right eye but his other grey one always had a stern glare waiting for you. His gem was an orange Padparadscha with 'Valley' written in the back, but be careful of you making fun of his name's meaning
"You told us it wouldn't take more than a few minutes and we just have half an hour to do it, so why should we be late?" Asked Raven recovering her breath
"I see two members of your group are 'lost'" Slade said noticing Toni and Kevin weren't there
"They'll arrive soon, in the mean time can we start?" Jason asked almost completely normal again
"Sure thing, let's go to the back yard and start" Slade led the group to the back yard where he could prove them
When they arrived they saw Malchior tied with a huge chain to the floor, it was a special chain the dragon couldn't break. Raven went to greet her pet
"Hi Malchior, how are you doing?" Malchior lowered his head and let Raven pet his nose as if it was a horse "Slade, can I take Malchior with me to the in-between after this?"
"I guess you can, it's your pet, isn't it?" Slade answered without looking at the girl
"All right, I'll bring him back a few hours later" Raven nodded, petted Malchior one more time and joined to her friends
"Everything is ready" Slade stepped aside and let the teens look at what he was preparing; they saw a target a few feet in front of them with wires connected to it and to a black lap top Slade was holding open on his right arm "Who wants to try first?"
"I'll do it" Raven said with no enthusiasm and walked to the front of the group and next to Slade
"Shoot with your powers to the target once" The older Dadlam instructed
Raven nodded and prepared to attack
Raven had the powers of the Darkness, she could use black energy to shoot to the enemies, had telekinesis, could levitate, teleportation, open portals, empathy and could enter to other's minds and stop time, the two last ones took a lot of energy out of her so she wasn't very fond of use them.
Raven closed her eyes and then opened them again; they were now white and her hands started to glow black. She raised her right arm and shot an energy sphere to the target.
The target glowed with her energy for a moment and then it became normal again. Slade looked at his lap top and the results of the attack
"Up ten percent, good job" His voice was emotionless and Raven replied with a little nod "Next"
Without a word Brion stepped next to Slade and prepared to attack
Brion could control the gravity giving him the ability to fly, control the lava, immense strength, heightened resistance, and increased endurance. He closed his hands into fists and closed his eyes, when he opened them again they were brilliant yellow and his fist were covered with lava.
He shot a lava blast from his right hand and hit the target, the lava was consumed in the target as Slade obtained the results
"Up twelve percent, good" Slade prepared things for the next teen before call again "Next"
Karen took the position beside Slade and prepared
Karen had the ability to fly by growing bumblebee's-like wings, cause sonic disruptions, shrink down to six-inch length, super strength as Brion and project powerful force blasts.
Karen lift her arm with the hand open to the target and in the next second from her hand came a yellow blast that hit the target in the center. Slade checked the results
"Up nine percent, it's ok, you're one of the most advanced teens anyway" Slade said and Karen felt grateful that she didn't get punished for not reach the ten percent "Next"
Jane took the assigned position and immediately closed her eyes to call all her power
Jane had the power of the bad luck, she could shoot blasts of pink energy that meant bad luck for the others and also some hexes, ability to dissolve matter, create green flames and earth tremors. She had born with graceful movements that she had improved through her life to become now the most graceful fighter of the young Dadlams
Jane opened her eyes showing they were now glowing pink and lifted her two hands direct to the target, waves of pink energy hit the target and Slade checked the results
"Up ten percent like Raven, it's good" Jane smiled a little and went back to her gang "Next"
Mandy stood next to Slade and prepared to attack
Mandy was able to shot purple energy blasts called starbolts from her hands, purple eyebeams, fly and had super strength.
Without close her eyes Mandy's eyes glowed purple before she shot a starbolt to the target
"Up eleven percent, more than the least time" Slade observed making Mandy proud of herself "Next"
Isaiah decided to go next, when he took his spot his body became different; now the color of his skin was as the flames' ones, his eyes were totally white and his hair and nose were gone
Isaiah could control fire in every way you could think of; every way
One of Isaiah's arms became pure flame as he lifted it and shot to the target
"Up twelve percent, good job" Slade complimented still with no emotion, Isaiah came back to normal and went with his friends "Next"
Roy went next
His powers were slightly different, he could make appear a bow on his hand and a bunch of arrows of different kind on his back, you could never know what the arrow held; the better aim he had the most powerful the attack resulted, besides, each arrow had the force it felt Roy had. He had also born with an special ability for one-on-one combats, something that he had been improving
A yellow bow appeared on Roy's right hand and his arrows appeared on his back. He took one, aimed to the target and shot
"Up ten percent, you have been practicing" Slade said after the arrow disappeared from the target and he received the results "Next"
Jason took his place just when Kevin and Toni appeared
"Just in time" Raven commented in a low voice to the newcomers
"But we made it" Toni replied and Raven rolled her eyes
Jason lifted his hands, palm open to the target and then, on each one of his palms, appeared a red 'X'
Jason could shot red Xs from his hands that could do different things; create goo to stick his enemies to many superficies, simply become a sticky 'X' of any size, explosives, vanish superficies and also he could teleport. As Roy, he had a special ability for one-on-one combat that he really knew how to use
A sticky red X hit the target with full force and the results came immediately to Slade's lap top
"Up thirteen percent, the best one until now" Slade said with a little awe on his voice, Jason smiled for being the one who could make Slade show at least some of emotion "Next"
Toni decided to go next
Toni was able to create various plasma energy constructs, including silver knives, shields and slides to travel on. Upon creation, the plasma energy becomes instantly tangible. She could also fly
Toni lifted her hands and shot a plasma bolt to the target hitting in the center
"Up eleven percent" Slade informed after about three seconds "Last one"
Kevin went to the signaled spot and shot immediately a dark bolt
Kevin's powers were similar to Raven's in a way; they were dark. He could teleport, open portals trough his cape and shot dark bolt, his hands were dangerous; if you weren't careful he could cut you with them.
"Up ten percent, this time your girlfriend won" Slade commented "Ok, at least everybody improved. You can go now"
Everyone gave a sigh of relief and started for the exit
"Time to go Malchior" Raven said using her powers to open Malchior's collar, the dragon shook his body as if it was a dog and walked over the yard's wall while the teens went trough the door. Malchior flew all the way to the portal and the Dadlams raced each other again to the portal leading to the in-between
"Oculus Drakonis" Raven said to the portal so it could do the magic and change their outfits to the ones that would protect them from Selegnas' waves before they stepped trough it
When they appeared in the other side their outfits were different, as well as their names
Raven's outfit was a tight black leotard, blue slippers-like boots and navy blue cloak clipped with a red brooch. It didn't cover enough in Brion's opinion, but in Jason's it was to much clothe. She was now known as Rachel; it sounded strange to have a normal name like a nickname but that was what happened there.
Brion's was a dark blue body-suit with a black belt around his waist, black boots and black fingerless gloves. He was now called Geo-Force
Jason's covered all his body, literally; it was a very tight black suit with a red X on his chest and one over his right eye adorning the skull-like mask. His boots had the bottom made of metal and had a skull painted on the sole with a red X below it. He also had a grey belt and grey gloves with a red X on the back and front of his hands. The final touch was a tattered cape that reached the back of his knees. He was now Red X
Roy's suit was a dark red sleeveless shirt with a red 'S' inside of a yellow circle on the left part of it, dark red tights with yellow boots that reached about and inch bellow his elbow, a yellow belt and a yellow arrow container hanging from his back along with his yellow bow. Finally he had red fingerless gloves that went to his mid forearm and a black rimmed white mask over his eyes. He went by the name of Speedy.
Karen Beecher was dressed on black tight hip huggers and black high heels, a black and yellow striped top left her stomach uncovered, a yellow belt with a 'B' was around her hips, yellow metal bands adorned from her wrists to her mid forearms and her wings sprouted from her back, her hair stayed the same. She was now called Bumblebee
Jane's outfit was a black dress with triangle ends that went to her mid thigh and slight low cut, her legs were covered by tight black and purple striped mesh pants and platform black boots, the platform was purple. A purple tattered cloth covered from the dress' neck to just bellow her breasts and her pigtails were now pointy and adorned each one with a black band, besides her necklace, around her neck appeared a black collar with a purple circle hanging from it. She was now Jinx
Mandy's clothes changed to a black skirt that reached her mid thigh with a grey belt around her hips and black sleeveless top that could have shown her stomach if it wasn't for the fact that it, her upper arms and the little space from the bottom of the skirt to the start of her boots was covered by metal stripes. From her top's collar to her neck she was covered by a metal piece with a black gem in the middle, her forearms were also covered with thicker metal stripes than the rest of her body and she was using boots that almost touched the bottom of her skirt; the sole and upper part of them were grey. She now would be called Blackfire
Toni's outfit changed to a black corset and a red ruffled skirt with black ends that went about an inch or two above her knees. Black fingerless gloves went up her mid upper arm with red ends and a black collar was around her neck besides her necklace, she had a tattooed 'A' on the center of her chest and she was using black boots that barely touched her knees. She was now Argent
Isaiah was using a black body suit with ¾ sleeves and red stripes on his waist, collar and mid calf. His body became the same as it had become at Slade's place. He was known then as Hot Spot
Finally, Kevin's clothes changed to a black tattered cape, grey tight shirt and tights with umm… black panties and a white belt around his waist. Black gloves covered his hands and forearms and black boots covered his feet to his knees. His eyes became red and a bat-like mask was on his head. He was now called Kid Wykkyd
Malchior went from a dragon to a Doberman with rolled up brown horns and wings on his back, his tail was large and finished in an arrow shape and sharp nails.
"Guys, welcome to the in-between" Jason said before the gang started the trip trough the in-between realm
Selegnas, Pure close to Heaven/ Dadlams, Evil close to Hell
OK, here you go, now some notes:
1) I got information about some characters' powers from Titans Tower Meeting Room, and I changed the powers of the ones who didn't exist in the original comic book a little; and yes, one has abilities since they are born in this story, they only have to improve them
2) Geo-Force's suit isn't like that in the original comic book
3) All the gems exist
4) Oculus Drakonis means Dragon's eye in Latin
5) The Evil close to Hell realm looks almost the same than Azarath, you know, from the episode 'The Prophesy'
6) In case I didn't describe the suits correctly, when they enter to the in-between their clothes change for the ones that they use in the show
7) Dadlam is 'Maldad' written backwards, it means 'Evil' in Spanish
8) Have you ever seen Pokemon? Do you know the Pokemon called Houndoom? Well, when Malchior goes to the in-between he looks like it just without all the metal thingies and with wings
That's it, if you have any doubt you can ask me, and if you don't, review anyway please? Pretty please?
See you in the next chapter 'Meet the Selegnas' and Happy Holidays!
