Butch's POV
"Xaldin..." That was Dad's last word, then I heard this sickening sound, and something...but the ground, hard. The biggest thud that...made me so scared.
I was hiding...inside of a wall...a secret hideout, I remember...Dad's eye staring through the hole...right at me. I could barely breathe. Suddenly, the eye was gone...I started to muffled as I cried...but there was a blast...and a big hole... as Vulcan was standing right in front of me.
"Why? If it isn't the Prince of the skies?"
I was looking up, at first smiling...I thought I was safe...until...as I smelled the flames...this thick liquid sprayed all overe...I wiped my face...and looked at me face...BLOOD! Red...thick blood. Vulcan held something in his hand...
"Dad," I thought my lungs were gonna exploded as I was breathing so fast.
"Avenge me..." I heard his voice, but it sounded weird, like another voice was talking at the same time, "Avenge me..."
I gasped in horror as the head came into sight, half was my dad and the other half...was Reks
"AVENGE US!" They both screamed, opening their eyes...
I must have woken up, I barely remember. I could barely breathe, It felt like I was being strangled. Despite my heart hammering, my breathing so fast, Everything around me was moving so slow...Bardock trying to give me something...But my body...It was just jerking, I couldn't even swallow as he tried to pour something down my throat...
"My Liege! Drink!" He yelled, slowly to me. My vision was starting to get blurry, when Scotty pinched my nose, and I could only guess that Lester was holding my arms down...
The elixir went down my throat, at least...
"That's it, drink." Bardock said, it was working...everything was going back to normal speed, "Now, Scotty let go of his nose...let him sit up, Lester let him grab the cup." Bardock said to his sons, Scotty slowly helped me sit up and Lester sat back and sighed in relief. Bardock placed the cup in my hand.
I looked up at them, my heart still hammering in my ears, but it was slowing down.
"Drink My Liege, Drink." Bardock pushed the cup to my lips, giving me enough control to gulp it down. The scent of lavender from the elixir hit my nose...everything final slow down...I felt so...tired...
"Where...where am I?" I swallowed hard, I could barely speak.
"We're at Tundria," Scotty answered, but Lester shushed him. My hand was shaking still, "Drink some more."
"What...-"
Lester shushed me,"Xaldin...just shut up and drink." Lester and Scotty were the Blue sky haired twins...well they weren't really twins. Lester is always so serious and worried about me, the oldest by a year. Then Scotty was a bit of a joker, the same age as me; but those two looked almost exactly alike that people would just assume that they were twins. After the fall of Luminousa, Bardock took me in (as planned by my Dad) and they became like my brothers as well.
"I need...air." I struggled to stand, but I had to get out, Bardock helped me up.
"My Liege, come this way. You must put a jacket-" I stumbled out of the big force field Tent. The chilled air, snapped me out of it. Something Boomer taught me...how to cold is good at balancing the body. The body's goal is to keep you warm, so your brain switches off all that tension and stress, and focuses on keeping you warm.
Tundria was southern area of Aeros, floating high above Articana. For two weeks, we've had to fight and destroy Vulcan's supply fleets. Tundria was a peaceful place, but it was the coldest, villagers, Aeygls or Sky Humes, greeted us.
I took a deep breath and blew some warmth into my hand, as the shaking stopped (when my nerves calmed down) now I was just cold. It was starting to snow again.
"My Liege, "Bardock yelled, wrapping a jacket around me, "You need to be more careful. We can't have you getting sick, we almost lost you last time when you got sick and got one of your 'attacks'.
"It's getting worse, isn't it?" I asked.
He nodded, "By the way, how is that girl?"
"Girl? What Girl?" I didn't feel so cold anymore, and my face was burning up, that I had to look away, "I have no idea who you're talking about."
"I was surprised that you didn't follow the plan, coming back to Aeros and being a decoy when Lester said something about you traveling with a girl who nearly neutered Scotty."
"Damn it, can't even keep a secret." I still wasn't looking at him.
"My, my, you shouldn't became quiet, so there is a girl. She must be quite something if you haven't said a thing about her...or you haven't slept with one-"
"We're on a mission here!" I cried out, which I shouldn't have.
Bardock smiled, "My Liege, are you...do you have feelings-"
The horn sounded...thank you...
"Enemy fleet ship spotted, prepare to enage!" I yelled out, as some of the fighters woke up and automatically prepared.
I don't need to think about this...I don't. It's best if I keep my distance.
Buttercup's POV
I haven't heard one word from that bastard in one week, but it was great to relax but...I leaned out...staring at the horizon...I should be happy right? But I missed my family, my home...I don't know how long have I been here, or if I was ever getting home.
I sighed again, but then I smiled...at least I was fulfilling my promise to Muriel. Just look at this world, 'Prince' Laxus was busy but I saw him smile from time to time, especially at Blossom, who couldn't contain this happiness; she was acting like Belle. I have yet to see this Steel person either until...
Blitz just pulled up this strange kid, with these gray eyes, "I knew it...I thought so."
Brianna was sitting on a couch, she looked over at him, "What are you doing? Put him down." Brianna was still trying to fix her spiked Fan.
"He...Friend." Sam said, she was fighting Fang, trying to get her ball back.
Blitz was sniffing at the kid, "I knew it, I thought I was going crazy this past week," He removed this strange bracelet off the boy's arm, his eyes...it was strange...one of them turned into this glowing amber color.
"Hey! Put me down!" He was kicking around.
Brianna stood up, "Put him down."
"But Princess, he's-"
The little boy kicked the table that Brianna was repairing her fan on, it crashed onto the marble floor and broke once again, in several different pieces. There was a pause in the air, as Blitz and the boy looked with their eyes widened in shock. Brianna was standing there, crossing her arms...about five tick marks appeared on her head and fists.
"You...son of a bitch." She hissed lowly, she popped her knuckles, "I've been trying to fix that fan for a two weeks now."
"Princess...Cutie Face." Blitz let the boy go, but he hid behind Blitz, "I was just trying to say that he smells a lot like what I smelled in the Wagon...yeah know." (I hope you guys remember that).
"And you two broke my cherished fan for that. You Jack holes! It seems you need to be punished."
The Boy squeaked, his eyes grew bigger, "Wait...I can fix it...I can."
I sat on the couch, still watching it.
She had her hands on her hips, that little boy was kinda cute, I'll admit that, just not as precious as Sam.
"I like to-" She snarled, but the boy ran up under her, "Why you little-"
"Look, see." He placed the fan and the broken Spikes on the floor. He pulled something out of his pocket, "I just need more metal." He clapped his hand together, and touched the fan with his left hand.
Scholar Utonium was walking in when...this bright light flowed from the boy.
The boy held up Brianna's fan, fixed, "See...see. I fixed it."
"More... Magic trick." Sam was jumping and clapping.
"Its not magic, I'm an-"
I don't know what happened...I couldnt hear a thing, everything just darkened a little, as I saw Angelica...and Maltus Shivar hovering in front of me. I could see my breath...and...I felt so cold...so unbelievably cold.
"What? Where the hell-"
There was this powerful gust of icy wind, that blinded me...Snow...I was standing in snow...as these three figures came out of the snow...one in a suit of armor holding a pitcher, another with two heads and the last one...had a crab claw. (I wonder if anyone could guess those zodiac symbols) I looked back at Angelica, as she pointed...she towards...Bubbles and Boomer.
She floated right passed me as the others bowed, it sounded like something heavy was walking right behind me, and a shadow cast over me.
I turned to see...
"Hashmal." I said, my chest felt tightened as I looked at this so called King of the Zodiac. But there was...there was something behind them, between Angelica's and Hashmal's head. A dark figure, it just hissed...floating inside this ring...but all I could see clearly were these bright yellow eyes...I couldn't help but stare up at them...Hashmal and Angelica moved to their opposite side...as this creature floated closer and closer to me...I could barely breathe...as this thing grew bigger and floated higher above me.
"Bends reality..."
Wait, how the hell do I know that?
I looked up, as Maltus Shivar were standing right beside me, it pushed me back and stood in front of me, as this creature started to glow, both Hashmal and Angelica looked at it.
"What the-"
Just before the light could touch me, standing right under the figure, was this blue woman, holding a sword...as this figure came closer...this strange black hole appeared right under my foot, and I...was slowly being sucked in.
"Buttercup! BUTTERCUP!"
I felt this hard smack, as I finally snapped out of it, Brianna and Blossom were standing in from of me, Brianna's hand was right by my face.
I was shivering...
"BB!"Sam yelled, worried, "BB, that snake was gonna take you away!"
"Oh man, Buttercup you're so cold. Cmon, let's get you in the sun."
"Buttercup, what happened?" Blitz asked.
"Do we go to the cold place now?" Sam just asked, surprising me, "That Spariling Lady...and the big big cat...number...1...3." Sam held one finger up in one hand and three fingers up in the other.
Did Sam see what I just saw? But how? What the hell was that thing anyways?
"What happened?" Scholar Utonium asked.
"I don't know. I was surrounded...Angelica was there...there was Boomer and Bubbles and this cold place...and..."
"And 1...3!"
I don't remember much after that...just Fang flying into my arms as suddenly...it was hard to explain...kinda like when you're on the top of a roller coaster ride, and then the drop...I could see everyone running towards me...this strange black hole...and those yellow eyes and that hiss.
