Wow… that hurt.
I'm told crashing head first into concrete does that.
By who? I'm not sure anyone up here has felt that before.
…ssssstteeeve… told me, yes, Steve.
You thought really hard to make that up didn't you.
Shhh, I hear voices…coming from outside.
You mean outside my head.
Yeah.
You mean people talking.
…
This really shows how stupid we both are.
That's why you put up with me.
Oh wait I can hear them again.
Oh I can as well now, though it's a bit faint.
I opened my eyes, noticing the two blurry figures staring at me all I could make out was that the person that lives here loves to blind people, there were overpowered lights everywhere worsening my already shit eye sight. I tried to get up but then hit my head on what I realized was the glass seal on the medical tank that I was in.
It annoys me how were still blind in this place.
"Are you sure you know him, he seems … out of your league." The left blur echoed through the thick pane, sighing disappointedly. "I said he was my friend, not my boyfriend." She scowled disgusted at the thought. "I know but the point still stands." He laughed. "I can hear you, you do realize that." I shouted at them, then realizing THEY actually couldn't hear me.
Genius…
"See what I mean…" they chuckled. "OK, he is stupid but he has smart moments." Their laugh echoed through the tank. I resorted to glaring at them, till they got the message. Unfortunately, they got the wrong message, deciding to flood the tank with some form of gel.
At least the headaches gone.
But now we have this slight issue… DROWNING.
I don't personally think this was a good idea in hindsight, but I thought I was going to drown so arguing with myself out loud and under…gel, not the best first impression.
So we just got here five minutes and were dying again, glorious.
I didn't hear any Ideas.
Sorry, I more concerned about dying because you can't sneeze under-
I splashed out onto the white pure tiles, coughing and laughing hysterically, the gelation oozing slowly of my clothes. "Why'd you take so long to get out of there?" his voice was rugged and had an ever present condescending overtone. I started to laugh harder almost bringing myself to tears, attempting to stand at the same time. "No one can sneeze underwater." I coughed heartily, while max smiled, refraining from laughing "He can only teleport while sneezing." She explained.
"Didn't think I'd be that important to be honest." I beamed. "You're really not; you've been in the news quite a lot recently" max scowled. "You… can sneeze underwater… I see why you value him." The man child actually sounded like he was impressed. "Xiko Somniator." I offered my hand. "I'm Onyx Black, I'm presuming you know max." he shook my hand firmly, like the same way a head teacher would or a lawyer or a demon, either way It sent a uncomfortable shiver through me.
"You are going to stand in a pile of goo all day or are going to get dressed?" Max asked as she threw my bag vaguely in my direction. I say vaguely as it sailed over my head snagging the strap on my neck, nearly snapping it, fortunately I can float, twirling around until the world around me as well as myself became a blur, getting dressed like this wasn't difficult, it was stopping that was the hard part. "If you can't stop, isn't it useless?" I heard the warm heavy Irish accent that I'd missed "SKY!" I hugged her, immediately leaping back as I felt a set of hairy paws rub my back. I saw her hair floating in clumping either side to produce two large paws complete with metal claws.
Why can't you do stuff like that with your hair.
"I'll teach you it later, right now we need to have a little chat." Sky slammed the door with her butt, leaning against the door. "Open your bag." She demanded, pointing to the blue bag dangling next to my waist.
Oh shit…
How can she hear me?
You're not exactly quiet you know.
She unzipped it, revealing three large…birds. "Cooee!" he smiled goofily. Sky looked up at me, then back at them, up at me, back at them. "Xiko… why are there three baby dragons in your bag." Max sighed, expectantly disappointed. "Wow, bird snatcher as well as criminal." Onyx judged. "Wait, aren't those the same thing." Blaze, the white dragon, cackled, causing everyone to laugh. "These are Cid's apprentices, in miniature form because… well, you try hiding four dragons in any other way." I pleaded.
"Is it weird or is he being over honest." Onyx glared at me. "Does that word even exist?" The sliver dragon, Yoki, stretched. "Yes, and there's one person that can draw the truth out of him." max sighed "But he's not here." Sky queried. "I wasn't talking about Zeo." Max grabbed my collar a teleported us into a dusty pit with a girl in the centre meditating while balancing on a tail. "Do I just go and join her?" I asked to the air, max had already abandoned me to sit in the stands.
"Hello?" I asked, scared out of my mind, in all of my five years here, this was the most deadly thing I'd seen, because the moment I examined her I saw that she
Dude, I don't want to alarm you, but her tails watching you.
He was right, she was now tracking me, motionless but her tail had begun to curl up, quickly springing herself into the sky.
I saw the glint of her smile bounce of the side of her blade, immediately knew who it was.
The only thing I've ever feared, Storm "Kila" Aquinas, was trying to kill me.
She dropped on top of me, her warm breath invading my nostrils.
"Xiko! I've wanted to see you since your brother disappeared." She was invading my head, searching my memories. "I'll get the truth, even if I have to take it by force." She boomed thought my brain.
I batted her away, she had this look in her eyes like this was more than a strange interrogation.
This is going to be a long day.
