Chapter 4: Warnings

Two days later…

"Great. Once again, the almighty council wants to tell me that I'm a danger to society, again, and try to take me down. Since you're with me, we can talk them out of it." Mikel said as they went down the elevator. "What? They got you, not me." Jake said in defense as he glared at Mikel. "True, but you were at the conference with me, so they got you anyways-I'm just the one with all the cameras to me." Mikel reassured him as they waited even more. "I thought this thing went faster…" Mikel thought before he got his thought granted…

"Next time, we take a portal. (hurls) I can't do this man." Mikel said as he got sick from the elevator. When he and Jake composed themselves they went to the council. "Jake, you wait around while I do this. Since it was me, they want me." Mikel told him as he left. "So basically what you said on the elevator is pointless?" Jake asked. "Yeah, let's go with that…" Mikel said as he left. On the way, he kept getting looks of hate and defiance from all the others as they all knew what had happened. Mikel ignored them, like he did with the press.

As he got to the room, he took a deep breath-this could be his last chance. He opened the door with a worried look on his face. He walked down the spacious hallway as he approached the council. "Here we go again.." Mikel thought as he stood in front of them.

"Shall we begin?" Andum said as he look at the others. "Let me summarize it for ya. I got caught, tried to deny it, but ended up in deeper shit. Basically, this calls for a memory clean-up and expulsion of powers, but in this case, there was no knowledge of me getting videoed twice, in one hour. Basically, I say live and let live-see how this goes. If I don't like it, do what you must." Mikel interrupted, since he was in no mood to hear it.

"One, don't interrupt us again. Second, I understand of the situation, and we believe that you had no knowledge of the circumstances ("Yes." Mikel thought.) However, we believe that you were careless at the time, and led you and Jake to be exposed, so we have no choice but to-oh I didn't know you were here yet." Andum said as he was about to punish Mikel, but stopped as a figure came into view.

"You were expecting me, correct?" the man asked as he spoke with a Norwegian accent. "Ken?" Mikel said as he stared at him. "No way, it's you." Kenneth said to him as they stared at each other. "No, you got me confused with someone else…my bad." Mikel said, false playing that he didn't know him. "Anyways, this is Kenneth, one of the Norwegian dragons. He's here to make sure that what you say could happen, and what we don't want will not happen. Remember, this event rests on your hands. We're done here." Andum said as he dismissed them. As they were to leave, Andum stated a warning. "Remember Mikel, whether you like it or not, we are the higher authority. Don't underestimate us ever again, for you never know when we will strike." He warned Mikel as he left. "Strike me down now, you bitch." Mikel grumbled as he left the room. "That's what I thought." He thought as he closed the door.

"So, how'd it go?" Jake asked, but saw that his question was going unanswered as Mikel was talking to Kenneth. "Man, we play poker on myspace, and we end up having this common shit…I'm lost for words." Mikel said as they walked. "I know, same here." Kenneth replied as they went for the elevator. "Uh, Mikel? Who's he?" Jake asked with a suspicious look on his face. "Jake, he's the one that will save or kill my ass by the events coming in the upcoming weeks. His name's Kenneth." Mikel said as he introduced him. "I don't trust him." Jake said as he looked at him. "I get that a lot." Kenneth said as he gave a friendly look.

"I hope I know what I'm doing…" Mikel thought as they went off the elevator and onto the street…

Ok…finally got this chapter done. Have an idea for next chapter, but still in development..don't know when it will be finished.
