Back to the air tribe
-"What do you mean solitary eagle?! If we weren't here who else could protect your people?!",Toby looked confused, just like his friends after hearing this statement.
-"Why the light tribe of course!",Solitary eagle replied the Lord's question. "After you left-er...Disappeared,they have taken it upon themselves to protect gorm and it's residents at all costs."
The Lords were dumbfounded.People of the Light? Like luminous? How could this be possible? Luminous was the last surviving light gormiti...right?
"Have you not heard of them? I do recall you used to work for their old leader..Luminous was his name right? The last surviving light gormiti?" ,Solitary eagle asked.
What the heck,could he read minds?
-"Err..y-yeah that's him alright.But wait how is this possi-",Lucas was cut off before he could finish talking.
-" We have no idea about when,where or how they came from.But all we know is that our citadel hasn't had as many...loses as it used to.Because they assist us with every fight against fire gormiti.But as long as the fight ends they mysteriously vanish from the face of gorm."
Solitary Eagle didn't know much about the light people and indeed all he did remember was Supreme Luminous, that almighty Lord of the light ,the very same gormiti that mentored and trained the 4 younger Lords into the warriors they are today.And everyone around gorm knew about his sacrifice.There is now even a holiday celebrating his humble actions and he is now known as "The Guardian Angel of Gorm".
And even with the legacy that Luminous had left behind,there was still very little information about their heritance,where they came from and how.
-"Look the point is,we are more than grateful for your return my lords.And even if out people aren't fully convinced by your words,then I am sure they will understand by your actions."
Solitary Eagle's speech moved our 4 heroes.To the point where Jessica would tear up a bit.Nick put an arm on he shoulder and Toby patted her back.
Lucas went forth and replied.
-" And I believe that I speak for all of us,Lords of Nature,saying that we will do our very best to protect gorm and defeat the forces of evil once and for all!"
-"We will not fail you again!",Toby rose up still standing next to Jessica
-" You can always count on us no matter how impossible the situation may seem!",Jessica soon followed
-"Even if we are worn out by our battles we will still keep fighting to protect you and the rest of the gorm!"
Solitary Eagle looked at our 4 heroes proudly,and his eyes pretty much said how he felt.
Safe.
However this touching moment was cut short by the shouts of Loftoro.The lords ,and Solitary Eagle, quickly shifted their focus on the floating fortress that was located just above them.
-"NO!! FATHER YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING!!"
-"SHUT THE BLOODY VOLCANIC HELL UP LOFTORO,I AM TRYING TO SAVE HIM AND YOUR YELLS WON'T HELP!"
Silence.
Solitary Eagle spoke up:
-" I have to go now.",he said in a serious manner and immediately opened up his wings.He flew up to the fortress where the yelling was coming from and the screams from both sides subdued.
The Lords still couldn't process what was happening.
And then... Razzle showed up through the keeper's screen.
-"Err guys I understand you are all worried about Birds,but I can assure you he is fine!"
-"But razzle we need to check on him,make sure he is alright!",Nick replied in behalf of his friends.
-"NO BUTS! You need to come to the primal pad NOW!"
The young lords didn't even have the chance to protest when a familiar force sucked them back into their familiar primal pad.And with their return to earth they also had to give up their gormiti form and turn back to humans.
-"What the hell Razzle?! Are you nuts?! Why did you just drag us back here?!",Toby yelled at their lizard friend.
Jessica followed Toby's footsteps.
-"Yeah Razzle!! What if the fire gormiti attack again while we're gone?!? What if-"
-"Oh enough you guys!! I knew what I was doing!! Your powers were almost gone and-"
-"WHAT?! But Razzle our globes are fully charged what are you talking about?!"
-"Well-"
-" And Jess is right!! What IF fire gormiti DO attack the air tribe again?! How long will we be gone?!"
-"W-Well-",Razzle said in a weary and shaky voice.
Suddenly the kids were interrupted by a familiar female voice
-"Kids? KIDS?!"
It was Mrs.Tripp! She sounded worried!
-"Where are you? I need to talk to all of you this instant!"
-"Oh fuck,Toby what did you do this time?"
-"WHAT?! I did not do jack shit this time bro,maybe it's YOUUUR fault!"
-"KIDS!",the woman upstairs made a terrifyingly loud screech.
*gulp*
-"Looks like you kids need to go and see what is happening!"
-"Don't think this is over Razzle! We want to go back to Gorm as soon as possible!"
And with that said our 4 protagonists,rushed back up the stairs of the primal pad and entered the pantry room just seconds before Mrs.Tripp barged through the door.
-"I KNEW I was gonna find you all in here! You need to spent time elsewhere and most importantly somewhere where I can freaking see you!",she said while holding everyone in her arms.
-"Errr-"
-"We're sorry mom! Won't happen again buuuut whatdidyouwanttotellusexactlyandcanyouhurryup pleaaaaaaase?!",Τοby replied insanely fast at his mom's statement while making puppy eyes at her to avoid any conflict for disobeying.
-"Don't talk to me like that young man! This is important!"
Mrs.Tripp's eyes were now watering.
-"Mom what is going on?",Nick asked his mom seeing that she was now tearing up.
-"Toby..Nick.."
-"Yeah?" both of them said at the same time"
-"Your uncle Rey..He is not well.He was in a car accident"
-"U-Uncle Rey?! I don't believe it! Is he..gone?",Nick exclaimed in shock
-"Oh no.."
-"Right now he is in the hospital.The doctors say that there is very little chance of survival and..and-"
-"Do you..want us to leave Ms.Tripp?",Lucas politely asked with a gentle voice.This must have been a hard time for their family
All the boys' mother did was just nod while trying to hold back tears.
Lucas and Jessica immediately walked past the two brothers and their mother and upon leaving Jess went on to close the pantry door
-"I am really sorry for your loss,ma'am.",she said before shutting the door,leaving the family members of the deceased now all alone.
Toby remained in silence ,while Nick was trying to comfort his mom.That is because he simply didn't know how to react.Uncle Reymond...He hadn't visited them in years! It suprised Toby how Nick could still recall him,because up until now their uncle was never a big part in their lives!
From what he did remember,Rey was a jazz musician who was currently on tour all around the USA.Ηe was also his dad's younger brother.He never really used to visit them even when they were kids. Sometimes he would send them gifts,or he would sent emails and calls but mainly towards his parents or just to say hello.
-"Hey mom? When did all this happen?If you don't mind my asking.",Toby decided it was about time he got involved in the subject
-"Oh you see kids..Uncle Rey was coming home to visit us.He was just done with his tour and he decided that it was time to get involved in the family business with travelling agency.He wanted to get closer to us now that he had the time but he..he."
Mrs.Tripp started tearing up.
-" Does.. Does Dad know?",Nick asked.
-" Oh what a stupid question Nick,of course and your father knows! He was the one that told me! He told me to get here and inform you guys...But when I didn't see you around the house I panicked! Especially after what happened to Rey I thought that-"
-"Mom.We are fine.It's alright!",Nick reassured his mom by patting her back.
-"Wait where is dad now?",Toby continued the conversation
-" He stayed at the agency while I left to tell you guys the news.But I think he probably went to visit him as soon as I left .He closed the agency of course but...He must be devastated."
-" I can only imagine."
They were silent for a few minutes.Both boys tried comforting their mother,who was grieving for the loss of their family member.
And then Nick heard something.It came from the primal pad.It sounded like..talking? And it was Razzle's voice with...
Oh no.It couldn't be...
Obscurio?
Νick took a few steps back,nearing the wall.His mom thought Nick was just upset about the unofrtunate news..but in reality he just wanted to get closer so he could hear the conversation.
((FROM THIS POINT ON,YOU READ WHAT NICK HEARD FROM THE CONVERSATION))
-"L-Look I did what you wanted,now let the Old Sage go!!"
Evil laughter could be heard coming from the primal pad.
-"Did you really thing that we just wanted Birds gone?..We needmore gormiti to die for our cause."
-"Look you told me to stall the Lords of Nature long enough for you lavaheads to take down birds and I did just that! I didn't inform them in time AND I degraded their gormiti forms! And now birds is...Oh nevermind that! But now YOU have hold up your part of the deal!"
-"You clearly didn't stall the Lords long enough because birds is still alive.But not for long.We will make sure of that."
-"Wait obscurio.",a mysterious voice could be heard from the distance.But the tone and chorus of the voice.How loud and cold it was.It send shivers down Nick's spine,because he recognised to whom the voice belonged to
It was Magor himself
-"Y-Yes master."
-"YOU!",Razzle said
-"Listen to me you infertile lizard-",Magor roared in a hoarse voice,
-"-there is a reason why we wanted Birds specifically gone.
-"Wh-What do you mean?"
-"You see I have done my research.It turns out that every gormiti is somehow tied with a psychic bond to a human.Sure we are not tied to every human,because they greatly outnumber us...but the fact still remains."
-"What are you saying?",Razzle asked cowardly the fire mage
-"What I mean,pet,is that everyone in venture falls or related to the Lords of Nature has a bond with a random gormiti..And that means that if a gormiti dies,the human that shares the same bond with it ,will die as well.",Magor explained in a triumphant and patronising tone.
Nick gasped upon hearing this
-"Oh I know Nick it's terrible what happened to Rey but we must stay strong.And we must stick together...It's what he would have wanted."
-"Huh?..Oh yeah."
Nick had been so focused on the conversation between Magor and Razzle that he forgot his mother and Toby were still with him..He must have dozed off hard.
But his brother could tell something was off.He could feel it.Nick then turned around to face them and it hit him.
-"Hey mom?.."
-"Yes Nick?"
-"How did uncle Rey..You know..Die?"
-"Why would you want to know that Nick?!"
-"Just please mom..My er mind will be at peace once I know."
-"Well..The truth is Nick the doctors can't say for sure.When we were informed about his state we asked the same question."
-"And did they say anything?",Toby continued.
-"They only said that somehow his sides were severely hurt..Internal bleeding and such.They still haven't told us anything more yet-"
*RING RING* *RING RING*
-"OH JUST GREAT WHO WOULD THAT BE NOW?!"
Mrs.Tripp bolted out of the pantry room and angrily answered the phone yelling at whoever was on the other line.Meanwhile Toby decided to ask Nick for some...information.
-"Earth to Nick!! What happened back there?!"
-"Toby..I think..I think Razzle might be working with the Lava gormiti"
-"WHAT?! HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?!",Toby practically screamed..but as quietly as he could.
-"NO! Toby listen to me,I..sorta, overheard Razzle talking to someone in the primal pad.I think that might have been Obscurio and Magor!"
-"Nick that's crazy! Obscurio in the primal pad I can sort of get, but Magor?! The guy wouldn't even fit in the first place!"
-"Well maybe they are talking through another medium! Maybe the keeper's bubble!"
-"I..guess that could make sense but..Razzle?! Are you for real?! He is our friend and he would never do anything to hurt us OR gorm!"
-"Razzle? Gorm?! What are you boys talking about?!"
Oh no...MOM!
