Author's Note: Hello! This is the third chapter of Guardians: Light and Dark. This chapter will be held in Jan and certain someone's point of view but just guess who. Anyways, time skip is only the next day after Jan meets the HyperForce and uncovers the truth about his sister.
Also, magtamasa!
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the original characters in the story (that goes for Andrea, too.).
I thought I was dead but I guess Alamos just hit me with enough dark energy for me to pass out for a few days. Maybe he's just planning to preserve me so he could you use me as bait for Jan to come and rescue me. He must have known that when we are together, our powers are much stronger than on our own.
I lifted up the chains in my hands and tried to detached them but no luck. These chains are much stronger than they look and prevent me from using most of my powers.
"Well, let's try again." I thought as I stood up and faced at the metal bars which are preventing me to escape. Even though the chains prevented me from most actions, it didn't prevented me from making a ball of light energy in my hands. I released the energy ball forming in my hands towards the metal bars. I thought it would work this time but I guess I was wrong. Once the energy ball hit the metal bars, it absorbed it and reflected it back towards me. I was thrown back at the brick wall hard and I fell to the ground.
The impact was too much for me to take in and I felt myself almost drifting into unconsciousness again.
"Jan, I'm sorry..." I thought before I passed out.
I couldn't sleep after Selene told me about Arianne.
That was too much to take in actually. I just lost someone who was very dear to me once again. Oh... why does bad luck always come knocking on my door? I knew that if I just come with Arianne, none of this would happened. But then again, I wouldn't have met the HyperForce.
Even though it's the middle of the day, I felt drowsiness trying to overcome me again. I tried to keep my eyes opened but I gave in and fell asleep.
I knew I was dreaming.
But this is slightly odd than most of my dreams.
There was some kind of dark fog floating around me. But through the dark fog, I saw something bright. I hesitated to make my move then I made my decision: I have to see that bright light. I ran towards it and a familiar face I knew so well surprised me. It was the person that have been with me all of my life before she somehow died. Arianne.
"Arianne?" I questioned. She turned around and was also surprised to see me. "Is that really you?"
She ran towards me and hugged me. I was shocked at her sudden action but hugged her back.
"Oh, Jan! It's so good to see you again!" She said with happiness.
I smiled but then frowned. "You're not a spirit, right?"
She released me from her hug and frowned. "No, I'm not dead yet. What makes you think about that?"
I sighed. "Well, yesterday, Selene told me you were dead."
By the way, if looks could kill you, Arianne's anger could rival the masked man's powers if she exploded.
"She told you and you believed her? Jan, how could you!" Arianne yelled at me.
I cringed. "I'm sorry. It's just that dream I had when you were fighting with the masked man made me think that you were dead."
Arianne sighed. "Well, you may think I was dead but I only fell into unconsciousness."
I nodded. "Oh, thank God that you're alive."
"I'm glad that you're alive, too." She said softly. "By the way, where are you at this moment?"
I thought for a moment before I replied. "Shuggazoom, why?"
"That's where Tempest is. Has she been released from her curse yet?" Arianne asked.
I shook my head. "Nope. But, Arianne, I've got some great news: I've found them."
Arianne raised an eyebrow. "Them?"
"The Power Primate." I said.
That caught Arianne's attention because she started to bombard me with questions until I raised my hand in front of her.
"Whoa, one question at a time." I said.
Arianne sighed. "Fine. But these two are the most important: Who are they and where do they came from?"
"Well, there are actually six of them. Five cybernetic monkeys and a guy around our age. They call themselves the HyperForce." I explained to her.
"The HyperForce? That sounds familiar... Aha, I got it!" She exclaimed with delight.
I was confused. "Got what?"
"The HyperForce are the ones who defeated Skeleton King a year ago. Don't you remember?" Arianne explained.
"No, I don't" I admitted.
"Well, that's not the point but where are they?" Arianne questioned me.
"They're in the northern most part in Shuggazoom." I said.
Suddenly, Arianne fell to the ground.
"Arianne!" I exclaimed and rushed to her side.
She smiled at me weakly. "Don't worry about me. My powers are becoming weaker, that's all."
"What!" I exclaimed in anger. "Why?"
"That's not the point but please tell them about the prophecy and if you have a chance, please save me from Alamos' influence. He's absorbing... my... powers..." Arianne said before she faded. I felt myself starting drift into unconsciousness and before I know it, I blacked out.
I sat up, breathing heavily.
I looked at the time. It was already two in the afternoon. Oh, shit. I have been sleeping for nearly three hours already, why hasn't anyone woke me up already?
Then I remember about my dream. I sighed in relief after realizing that Arianne is still alive. But the prophecy... the HyperForce must be the ones we have been waiting for a long time.
Then someone opened the door. I turned my head and saw Chiro walking inside the room.
"Hey, sleep well?" Chiro asked me.
I nodded. "Yeah. But I need to tell you something."
"What is it then?" Chiro asked.
"Well, I need you and the monkey team to hear this now. So can you gather them to the main room so I could tell them?" I asked him.
"Sure. I'll see you in a while." Chiro said and left the room.
I bit my lip and thought. I hope this works, Arianne.
I finally managed to woke up from my unconsciousness but I feel awfully dizzy. I tried to stand up but I fell to the ground again. Then I heard someone coming. I stayed silent as I heard the person approached my cell.
It was Selene.
She opened the door to my cell and gave me a disgusted look.
"Hey, you. Get your filthy self up and follow me to Master Alamos." She said with disgust.
I glared at her but followed her command. She took me towards the main room where Alamos was sitting on his throne I stood before him as he stood up from his throne and walked towards me.
"So, I'll ask this one last time: will you and your brother join the dark side and help us rule the universe?" Alamos asked.
"No. Me and my brother will never join the dark side." I said with confidence.
Alamos sighed. "Very well then. I will show you the consequences to those who disagree with me."
He lifted his hand and I fell to the floor, screaming in agony. Then dark mist swiveled around me and showed me something that I never thought I would ever see. He showed me Jan lying on the floor, lifeless, with a puddle of blood surrounded around him. I couldn't bear to watch the scene and felt my energy slipping right in front of me. The scene faded and I saw Alamos laughing evilly and Selene smiling with pure hatred.
"Yes! I could feel her energy flowing within me!" He said as I began to drift into unconsciousness once more.
"So what does you want to tell us?" Gibson asked as everyone finally gathered around the main room.
I took a deep breath and exhaled. "Do you guys know about the Prophecy of the Seven Gems?"
"The Prophecy of the Seven Gems? What's that?" Sprx asked while he polished his magnets.
"Well, the Prophecy of the Seven Gems began after you guys defeated Skeleton King. Unfortunately, the dark energy Skeleton King wielded has spread across the universe and into the Seven Gems Guardian Alamos. Before he was completely corrupted, he built seven cybernetic robot monkeys like you guys to become the protectors of the seven gems. But while he was finishing the last robotic monkey, he was finally corrupted by the dark energy and tried to absorb the seven gems' powers. The seven robot monkeys stopped Alamos from absorbing the powers of the seven gems but it was depressing for them to do it because they didn't want to hurt their creator.
"After they vanquished Alamos to a dark dimension they split up and took one of the gems with them and kept them protected in different parts of the universe. But Tempest prophesied that Alamos would return one day and would try to absorb the gems' powers once more. To prevent so, two people with the power of light were destined to stop him with the help of a boy and five robotic monkeys with the Power Primate."
"And you're asking our help to stop this Alamos guy from absorbing the gems' powers?" Chiro asked.
I nodded. "Right."
"But what would happened if w couldn't do it?" Otto asked.
I bit my lower lip. "Well, the consequences are severe and to put it bluntly, evil will once again corrupt the entire universe."
Heavy silence surrounded the atmosphere around us.
After a while, Nova perked up. "Hey, we'll help you stop Alamos from corrupting the entire universe with evil. Right, guys?"
The rest of the team shrugged but nodded.
I smiled with gratitude. "Thank you so much!"
"But wait, you said two people with the power of light were destined to stop him. We already know that you are one of them but who is the other one?" Gibson asked.
I smiled. "Well, that would be my twin sister, Arianne."
"But you said she was dead." Antauri said.
"Well, I thought she was but I had this dream earlier and I kinda found out she's alive." I said sheepishly.
Then, something happened to me. I fell to my knees and clutched my head. Something really painful is happening to me and I can't help but scream in pain and agony. I could hear the HyperForce rushing to my aid. Then something...something was showing in my mind. It was blurry at first but I managed to identify it.
It was Arianne.
She was on her knees struggling with some dark energy surrounding her. She was breathing heavily and I noticed something. Her energy was being drained by the masked man. The scene faded and the pain also faded, too.
"Jan, are you okay?" Chiro asked as I tried to stand up.
I began to breathed heavily. "Arianne... her energy is being drained."
"What!" Nova exclaimed in disbelief.
I nodded. "If we don't hurry up soon, she'll be in a whole lot of danger."
Arianne's alive but she's also in danger.
Would Jan and the HyperForce be able to rescue her in time or would they fall into the hands of Alamos?
You'll all know that in time and the prophecy is just beginning.
Also, this is just a brief summary on the seven guardians which would appear later on the next few or so chapters:
