4. Questions
I would like to thank august child and Dragon Reverb for reviewing. This is a pretty long and confusing chapter. The next chapter will help tie the loose ends together.
I do not own AcceleRacers in any shape, way or form but I do own Cross, Luna and the 7 Deadly Sinz. Idea for 7 Deadly Sinz is from Tyshea on which means their not really mine. I should shut up now.
"Without us?" Everyone looked around frantically, looking for the person who said it.
"I'm over here." He said, taping Kurt on the shoulder, who was standing at the back of the crowd. He looked behind and saw Vert and Shirako.
"Vert! You're still alive!" Nolo exclaimed.
"That so takes the trouble of finding you away." Monkey said.
"So how was the first realm?" Shirako asked.
"It was cool...hard...confusing..." Monkey answered.
"You can end up in a dead end if you take a wrong turn." Luna said, wiping the blood away from her face.
"Why sis you decide to come back now?" Dr. Tezla asked.
"We found out that the Realms were opening again so we decided to join in." Vert answered.
"So, how did you know about the Realms?" Nolo asked.
"I know a guy." Vert answered.
"So I see you aren't listening to music Stinku." Pork Chop said.
"Meh. It's not my thing anymore." Shirako answered. Gasp.
"Oh. My. Gawd." Monkey said.
"Oh my god is right! Shirako and no music!" Nolo exclaimed.
"Have we entered so twisted parallel universe!" Monkey exclaimed, running around in circles.
"Guys. It's not the Apocalypse if I'm not listening to music. I've changed." Shirako said.
"Yeah. He has changed. A lot." Vert said.
"Dr. Tezla! I have readings from that guy! He's not human!" Lani exclaimed, running into the center, as I call it.
"What do you mean?" Dr. Tezla asked.
"He's a demon. That boy is possessed by one of the 7 Deadly Sins."
"Let's talk to him." Vert suggested.
"Not yet. Do you know what happened to Nolo's car? I found out that the dart that hit his wheel was as small as a needle. It's his power that made his car explode." Lani explained.
"What power?" Tork asked.
"The power of Envy. He finds joy in destroying something that someone else has and he doesn't." Lani answered.
"So if we want to talk to him...?" Shirako asked.
"We blindfold him. I read it on the Internet once. I was bored and went onto and saw that someone drew a picture of the 7 Deadly Sins so I looked it up on Wikipedia." Cross answered.
"Who's going to risk themselves to do that?" Tork asked.
"The guy with nothing to lose." Cross answered and everyone looked at Monkey.
"Why are you all looking at me?" He asked.
"You have nothing to lose. Go and blindfold that sin!" Cross said.
"Are you saying that I'm a loser?" Monkey asked.
"Pretty much. It's better than being my lunch." Cross said.
"You can't eat me!" Monkey exclaimed.
"He's a vampire and wizard put together." Kurt said.
"Then where is your pointy vampire ears?" Monkey asked.
"Underneath. My. Hair." He answered. Monkey looked at the back of his head and saw a little of the sharp point of his ear pointing out.
"Y-Y-Y-You Suck!" Monkey exclaimed, scared out of his wits.
"I'm a Vampire. Of course I 'suck'." Cross said sarcastically.
"You seriously suck!" Monkey shouted.
"We've already been through this, so stop monkeying around and blindfold that sin!" Cross shouted, "No pun intended."
"Fine. I'll do it." Monkey said, trying to back away from Cross's amazing power of sarcasm. He walked to where he thought Envy was.
"Um...Monkey...It's the other way..." Lani told him.
"Oh...Right...I knew that. I just wanted to check if you knew." He said, trying to hid the fact that he was completely wrong. he turned and walked the other way. When he reached a room, he walked in and turned on the light. Envy was chained onto a board and was glaring at Monkey.
"Loser. You have nothing to lose at all. Other than nothing, you have nothing." Envy joked.
"Haha. Very nice. It's so funny I forgot to laugh." Monkey said sarcastically.
"You just did." He said.
"Just shut up. I already got dissed by a Vampire who is practically half my age..." Monkey muttered
"Too bad for you loser." Envy laughed. Monkey just growled and walked closer to Envy and blindfolded him.
"How about that. Not so much of a loser now am I?" Monkey asked.
"Nope. You're still a loser." Envy said.
"It was a rhetorical question..." Monkey muttered.
"Like I care, loser." He said.
"Stop calling me a loser!" Monkey shouted.
"What? Too chicken to admit you're a loser?" Envy asked.
"That's it! I'm now officially ignoring you!" Monkey exclaimed, walking off.
"Soooo, how'd it go?" Cross asked, "Did he diss you as badly as I did?"
"Go Away." Monkey said.
"Yup. He totally dissed him." Shirako said.
"You said it." Vert said.
"Let's go talk to him." Tork said.
"You first loser." Cross said, pushing Monkey forward.
"Stop calling me that." Monkey said.
"Why should I?" Cross asked.
"Because I am older than you." Monkey answered. They walked into the room and saw Envy looking around, or turning his head around randomly.
"So this is Envy." Dr. Tezla said.
"What do you want. All I want is to go back to the others." Envy said.
"I want answers." Dr. Tezla said.
"Like I will tell you anything." He said.
"Don't say anything Cross." Wylde said.
"Since you are a Wizard, according to Kurt, you should have a truth spell right?" Dr. Tezla asked.
"Yeah. I'll try it out. Summer's Evil, Summer's Kind, but now all must speak their mind." Cross said, doing strange hand movements and there was a flash of light.
"I hope this works." Monkey said.
"I wanna try." Shirako said.
"Go ahead." Cross said.
"Do you really think Monkey is a loser?" Shirako asked.
"No. I don't. I think he's an idiot." Envy answered.
"See! I'm not a loser!" Monkey proved to Cross.
"But you are a loser anyway. Plus, he said that you were an idiot." Cross said, with his arms crossed over his chest.
"Oh." Monkey muttered.
"Why are you racing in the realms?" Dr. Tezla asked.
"Oh. So we can take the power from the Accelerons and become the most powerful people in the world...Oh damn it...Why did I just say that?" Envy answered.
"You look too young to be racing." Nolo said.
"I'm 17 years old." He muttered
"You look so young..." Nolo muttered in denial.
"Yeah. And you look so old." Envy said.
"Now that was just harsh." Nolo said.
"Now tell me, who are the other 6 Deadly Sins?" Dr. Tezla asked.
"Oh. There's Lust, Greed, Pride, Gluttony, Wrath and Sloth." Envy answered, "Why do I keep answering your questions?!"
"You're under a truth spell. get used to it." Cross said.
"I so don't want to be here." He said.
"Too bad 'cause you are going to be here for a while." Shirako said.
"If you let me go, I'll tell you everything." Envy bribed.
"You're already under a truth spell, you're going to tell us everything anyway." Cross said.
"Please. If I'm not able to see, what's the point in my power?" Envy asked himself.
"Come on. He looks pretty harmless." Vert said.
"He kicked me in the face!" Luna exclaimed.
"Haven't you had something taken away from you that you really care about?" Vert asked.
"We are not going to let him go." Dr. Tezla stated clearly.
"Come on. You must have a spell in there which can take his powers away for a while." Vert said, looking at Cross.
"Well, I guess I will have to do a spell improve..."He muttered.
"NO!" Kurt and Wylde Shouted at the same time.
"Why?" Vert asked.
"He always messes up the spell." Wylde said.
"Just try it." Vert said.
"Alright. If that's what you want. Hm...So we all can leave in style, take his powers away for a while." He said.
"Anything happen?" Pork Chop asked.
"I don't know." Cross answered, "But I feel weird."
"Oh no. Don't tell me..." Kurt muttered.
"He messed up the spell again!" The Wylde brothers exclaimed.
"Sorry...But it should wear off in about...2 days." Cross said.
"2 days is a long time..." Luna muttered.
"But as long as Envy doesn't have his powers, we can let him out." Vert said.
"Fine." Dr. Tezla said, tossing him the keys.
"You can thank me now." Vert said while opening the chains.
"Why should I?" He asked.
"Because I bribed them to let you out." Vert said.
"But you want something that's for sure." He said, taking of the blindfold. His eyes actually had pupils this time but he didn't look to happy.
"Being human feels so..so..so...weird..." Envy muttered.
Shirako was walking to the bathroom until Cross ran past him like a gust of wind.
"Wow. Drafty." He said, and continued he continued walking. Cross ran into the bathroom and looked at the mirror.
"Damn it...I have human ears...Wait a minute...I'm looking at a mirror?!" Cross exclaimed.
"Cross, I need to tell you something important." Shirako said, walking into the bathroom. Yes, the door was open.
"What?" He asked.
"Get out of the toilet." He said.
"Fine." He said, walking off, "Don't have to be rude about it."
"Whatever you pathetic human." Shirako muttered. Inner Shirako: I can't believe I just said that!
"What did you say?" Cross asked
"Oh. Nothing." Shirako said, blushing.
1 day later
1 day later, everyone had gotten used to it in the new AcceleDrome and were all in the living room watching Wall-E. Their laughter was cut off by the beeping sound.
"The racers which will go into the realm are as followed. Kurt Wylde." Dr. Tezla said across the PA speakers, or whatever you call them.
"Yes." Kurt said.
"Nicholas Wylde."
"I have no car!!" He shouted.
"You can borrow mine." Shirako said, handing him his keys.
"Dude. I'm not used to driving your Asian cars..." Cross said.
"Fine. Use mine." Vert said. Cross took the keys from him and got into his car.
"Luna Sandstone."
"Fine by me." She said, getting her helmet.
"Tork Maddox. Taro Kitano and Deezel Riggs." Dr. Tezla finished. By now, Pork Chop had gotten used to him calling him by his real name.
"What realm is this?" Kurt asked.
"It's the illusion realm." Dr. Tezla said, "You may take your motorcycles in this realm. Actually, you should." Kurt and Pork Chop were the only ones with motorbikes so they took them instead. Just before Kurt started his engine, Envy pushed him off and raced off.
"What do you think you're doing?!" Kurt shouted.
"Going back! Catch ya next time losers." Envy shouted back as he entered the realm.
"No problem. As long as he is on Kurt's motorcycle, he will come back here." Dr. Tezla said.
"But what if he's smart enough to go into one of his friend's cars?" Nolo asked
"Oh. Never thought about that." Dr. Tezla said.
Dr. Tezla? Not thinking? What twisted parallel universe have we entered! R&R please. I would like it.
