I'm sure people guessed who 'The kid' with Hawthorne was, well her you find out, I think he was cool in the original
comic, and seeing that he had been so close to magical events he deserved to be someone who found out about them
without the girls telling him. And open office is messed up, every time a create a new document, the spell check
switches between UK English and American English spelling, it really starting to annoy me.
Hawthorne, The Kid and Hidden Ops
[Moments Before]
Hawthorne and The Kid, were shooting down the streets at speed their bike couldn't take for much longer. "Farris
how long?" The Kid asked Farris through his Mic. "It will be their in under a minute." Farris responded. "Damn we
still about that far away, HAWTHORNE FASTER." The Kid cried. Half a minute later, the two and the bike were about
to come up to the bookshop. Hawthorne slammed on the brakes and brought the bike to a stop. Looking up just in
front of the book store was a guy floating in the air. Not wasting any time Hawthorne drew his handgun, and pointed
it at the flying kid. "FREEZE." Hawthorne screamed over to him. Hawthorne was taking by surprise as the motorbike
lifted of the ground and flew through the window of the bookshop.
[Present]
Hay Lin ran over to The Kid, she didn't understand why he was here. "Eric? Are you OK?" Hay Lin asked crouching
down next to him. "Hay Lin?" Eric replied surprised to see her as well. "I'm fine." Said getting up. Hay Lin had been
so distracted that she hadn't seen, the other man, get up retrieve his gun and point it at the boy. Skyshade had
also moved in the way and raised his right hand ready to use his ring to attack. "You are breaking, The 1916 Magical
Misuse Act you will cease your activities and surrender yourself into my custody." Captain Hawthorne said, Irma
couldn't help but notice how official he sounded. "Your kidding right why would I give up when I could snap you like
a twig." The man with Hay Lin's powers said laughing.
"Kid Idea's" Hawthorne said seriously, as the magic user took a step forward. "Don't move." Skyshade said, his right
hand being enveloped in white light. The ball of light made the guy decided not to move as if he was thinking. "The
weakness of Air based powers is being grounded and movement restricted." Eric stated as if from a book. "Hard to
do that with a gun." Hawthorne pointed out. The teenager felt brave enough to start floating again. Skyshade didn't
bother waiting any more, and let the ball of light on his hand shoot off into a beam of light, knocking the air magic
user back through the air.
The teenager attack and large numbers of items were thrown at everyone with damaging speed. "Everyone downstairs
now." Kate and Will screamed, and everyone did as he said. Hawthorne and Skyshade going last send a barrage of
bullets and light spell at their attacker to slow him down. "Farris you their." Eric said urgently a arm around Hay Lin,
defensively not knowing she was one of the people who knew more about this then him. "I'm here Kid." Farris replied.
"Evac now everyone here, except the enemy." Eric said. "No can do, you know that against regulation." Farris said
back. "Just do it. While we're still alive." Eric shouted into the Mic. All of them disappeared and appeared somewhere
that only Hawthorne and Eric knew.
[Open Hill]
"Alright what the hell is going on." Irma said to everyone wanting some explanation. Hawthorne relaxed and put his
gun away. "Damn we going to have to move base now." Hawthorne muttered to himself. "I SAID WHAT IS GOING ON."
Irma shouted, and everyone turned to her. "Not my place to tell you, I'm just the combat, Kid knock yourself out."
Hawthorne said pulling out a box of cigarettes as he walked away. "Eric where are we?" Hay Lin asked wrapping a
arm round her long distance boyfriend really confused. "Aww man, OK let me explain." Eric said to her hugging her
back briefly before pulling away and walking the end of the room so everyone could see him.
"A few years back one time when Hay Lin was down, a friend of my parent tried to tell a story about something called
a Ragorlang. I wanted to know what it was after awhile I found out it, could have been causing the illness in my area
which suddenly stopped, and dug some more in my spare time. After awhile Hawthorne found me, with the intention
of hiring me as a researcher for the people here. This is Hidden Ops, designed to detect and deal with magical threats
when they arise, I've been doing desk duty like things for the last few years." Eric explained, and The Guardian especially
Hay Lin were all shocked that Eric was involved in such a thing, they never would of figured him the type. "For awhile
now we know 5 people in Heatherfield have been using magical powers to protect people, but didn't know who. When
are devises pick up that they magic user had suddenly lost their power, we realised that their could be a problem.
Hawthorne was heading to protect them, and I came along because I know Heatherfield." Eric continued to explain,
no one said anything. "So I kind of need to know which of you guy are the people who lost their power?" Eric said
finally.
Yes that was a extremely condensed version of the story but it got the point across. Eric was a mystical researcher.
Walking back over to Hay Lin he hugged her properly. "Sorry I didn't tell you, I couldn't." Eric said to her. "I'm sorry
too, I should have told you that I was one of the magical people." Hay Lin responded. "Really?" Eric asked. The 9
other girls and Skyshade gave a little room to Hay Lin and Eric and let them explain more about how they became
wrapped up in magic. Hay Lin told Eric about Meridian and Kandrakar, While Eric told her about Hawthorne saving
his life from a Basilisk, and asking him to join Hidden Ops.
After some time, of exchanging stories, a explanation of everyone, in the group. Such as who the Astral Girls were
. Hawthorne return, smoking a cigarette making most of them wonder how healthy he could really be. "We need to
leave, the rest of the team has moved out, we be the last one's out." Hawthorne said tossing the cigarette away.
"Where to though if they can follow us, where can we go their can find us?" Irma asked. "What about the Kandrakar
place, Hay Lin just told me about?" Eric said. "We can't get there for some reason." Kate pointed out. "Meridian?"
Eric said. "We can try, we could ask Caleb for help." Skyshade said. Hawthorne was a bit annoyed.
Hidden Ops knew a little about magic, legends and stuff, and stopped a few mythical creatures from going near towns
and such, the idea of different worlds was not one he was used to. "I've not got a better idea but if we going to leave,
can I say we should have a least another fighter on our team" Hawthorne said pointing to the door. "Farris." he called
out, and another man entered the room, in attire he was like Hawthorne, plain clothes but effective. Plain black shirt
and trousers and a short heavy duty coat, and a gun holster at his waist. "Yeah let just get out of here." Kate said
looking over to Skyshade. Both of them used their rings to transport the group away to Meridian.
To everyone the situation was a strange one. Skyshade was amazed to find out, normal people were equipped to
take on magical forces. The Guardians were amazed the Eric, a calm and nice young guy, a Hay Lin boyfriend knew
about magic, and had been helping a secret organisation fight it. The Astral Girls were shocked that they had been
attacked in one day, by people who didn't seem to care if they killed or captured. Hawthorne and Farris found themselves
going over the idea that magic link other world. Eric was the most shocked of them all. His Girlfriend was secretly a
magic defender of the universe, who had lost her powers and now some wanted to kill them and to escape they were
going to world were one of Hay Lin's friends was queen. It was all to strange. So strange that none of them notice
the fact they were not on Meridian, like they had planned to go to.
