Gah! Finally! It didn't really want to go anywhere so it has been a while coming for this story. Going to work on the next chapter soon. Have a few other things to do first. Like school work.. really need to see if I can get that started. Brain is only drawing a blank about it though. Darn you stories!

Anyway. For those who are wondering. The Essence of Oder and The Essence of Chaos were Astral and Yuma from Yugioh ZeXal. So only Little Man got it right. Pity I though more people would get it seeing what else I write. Oh well.

Warning! Some really minor foul language, mentions of comic story lines especially the Seven Soldiers of Victory: Klarion series, and possible OOCness

I hope you enjoy!


(Chapter 4)

Meet Klarion

Teekl meowed before jumping off Klarion's shoulders. Said Lord of Chaos merely giggled as his familiar walked over to the newcomer and sniffed him. This was going to be fun! They got a new Bounded! A Partner! Companion who would play with them!

Black eyes practically glowed with happiness. It has been so, so long since they had someone to play with who wasn't one of the pitiful magic users on Earth 16:12. But now there was a person who would be his playmate and family.

His Lord of Order. But before he loses himself, he had to get him used to his new role.

Teekl purred and jumped into Wally's arms. Much to the teen's surprise. Green eyes were slightly distrustful as they looked down at the orange and black cat who was softly purring away.

Klarion frowned at that. His Lord shouldn't be afraid of his familiar. Stepping forward he took Teekl away before meeting green eyes with a slightly worried look.

"Teekl seems to like you. But I'm not certain that the feeling is mutual."

Wally relaxed slightly at his words and the teen leaned back on his heels as he crossed his arms and gave a grin.

Klarion could feel the slight worry and suspicion behind the grin. Petting his familiar, he waited a moment before talking.

"I will not hurt you. Nor will Teekl."

Black eyes held green.

"Why would we harm our Lord of Order?"

The red head froze and paled.

"What?!"

Klarion winced at the loud sound. Alright then. Have to get used to loud noises with his new Bounded.

Long pale fingers with long black nails moved away from petting the dragga and rubbed a pointed ear. Giving a displeased look to his Lord, the witch let himself wait a moment for the ache to disappear before speaking.

"Where you not listening to the Essence of Order? You gained Nabu's powers and rank until he his able to regain them."

Green eyes widened and the teen's mouth fell open. It took only a few moments until the speedster got his brain back online.

"And when will he get it back?!"

A careless shrug was given.

"Who knows? A year. A century. It varies between Fallen."

Wally groaned and put his head into his hands. Klarion smiled showing sharp teeth.

"Well look at it like this: At least you can explore magic which you could have never touched before."

Green eyes glared at him as the teen snapped his head up at his words.

"Magic isn't real! The only thing which is real is science! You can't merely say some magic spell and all your problems go away!"

The red head was waving his hands around to emphasize his point. Klarion could only blink. Magic not real? But everything worked by magic in some form. Even those with zero affinity for the mystic arts could work with natural magic and bend it to their will.

"You're correct at the fact that saying a magic spell cannot remove all your problems. However Magic is very real. It is in the air you breath. It is in how nutrients are taken from food. While everything has a bit of magic in it, not everyone can work with the more powerful aspects of it. A Lord's power is far greater than the most experienced Sorcerer on a Mortal plain. Or a Researcher who is person can control magic without being able to cast a spell!"

Klarion giggled a little.

"You would be amazed at how many Researchers there are! Especially on your homeworld of Earth 16:12! The Light commonly has them working for them."

Black eyes met skeptical green.

"They were even able to make a living being with very minimal magic! A clone they called it. Based off a person called Superman."

Wally froze at that.

"Superman?"

Klarion nodded.

"Yes! I do not know who this Superman is. But the mortals who I work with on occasion seem to want to make sure that they do not become to much of a hassle. It is such a pity that the clone was taken away. But seeing L-3 had another made, there wasn't much problems with it. Just annoyance that the League was able to find the clone in the first place."

His Bounded had a odd look on his face. Tilting his head Klarion wondered what was wrong.

" Wally?"

"You're an enemy."

Klarion stepped back, hurt flashing across his face.

"What? If you are talking about my game with Kent, that was merely a game! Nelson wanted to pass on in an interesting way! And I wanted to see if I could..."

His shoulders slumped slightly.

"I wanted to see if I could have my Bounded back after so long."

Wally winced at that. Great. He didn't want to see the kid look like that. After what Nabu did, the last thing Klarion needed was to be told that he was an enemy because of a game. But really, just what kind of games did this kid normally play? What was wrong with good old fashioned tag, or hide and seek?

"No! Not that. Well, at the time you were an enemy because we didn't know it was a game. And as a game it was just us on opposite sides!"

The Speedster quickly waved his hands back and forth in an attempt to wipe that idea away. His hands ended up as a blur which Klarion looked at with curiosity.

"You're an enemy because you work with the people who made Superboy!"

Black eyes blinked at that.

"Superboy?"

Wally sighed as he lowered his hands.

"The clone of Superman which was taken away."

Klarion stood up straight.

"You were one of those who took the clone?"

Wally looked the black clad boy before him. What a mess.

"Yeah. I was one of those who broke him out of his pod. And out of that freaky place."

The cat moved from the Chaos Lord's arms and onto his shoulders. Black eyes narrowed.

"Pod? As in a containment device?"

The Speedster nodded.

Klarion took a deep breath before slowly releasing it.

"Is he better off where is at?"

Green eyes blinked at that. Not what he was expecting.

"Uh... Yeah. A lot better off than being a weapon for those freaks."

Black eyes closed before the boy nodded.

"If he is still functional then it is fine."

Wally couldn't help but let his jaw fall open slightly.

Klarion opened his eyes and laughed at his face.

"You will catch Sheeda if you don't close your mouth!"

Blinking at the word choice, the Speedster shut his mouth with a soft click.

Klarion grinned before clasping his hands behind his back and rocking back onto his heels.

"So my Bonded is there anyplace where you rather be than this chilly Chamber?"

Wally reached up and rubbed the back of his head.

"Um... My room? I would like to actually get some sleep tonight."

Klarion blinked before smiling. A snap of the fingers and Wally could only blink as he could only see swirls of red for a few minutes. The red faded away and he was standing in his bedroom only a few feet away from his bed. Looking down at his bare feet, he could only let his thoughts run around trying to figure out just what happened.

Apparently he has become a Lord of Order. Which was funny seeing he didn't feel any different. He was somehow connected to Klarion the Witch-Boy who somehow brought him home. Just how he did that he couldn't figure out. Wormhole? Particle displacement?

Groaning he climbed into bed. He'll think about it later. It has been a long night and he has training with the Team tomorrow.

Klarion tilted his head as he watched Wally run out the door. He did not know why his Lord of Order wasn't using his powers to get to where ever he was needed. Wally was able to move very fast, and if his speed couldn't do what he needed a portal would do just fine.

Humming softly the witch petted Teekl who was quite happy on his lap. His Bonded was weird. Then again he was new to being a Lord so it could be forgiven. He was also from the Blue Rafters so it was to be certain that he would be different from Klarion. But seeing the witch has dealt with many people from different versions of the Blue Rafters over the years, it should be easy to get used to. It wasn't like when he first met Nabu.

Klarion couldn't stop the feeling of betrayal and mourning. Nabu was the only person close to him for the longest time, who wasn't his familiar. The man was like an older brother at times and at others an uncle. Seeing Klarion lost his family a long time ago it was easy to get attached.

He lost his family and home thanks to Melmoth being immortal and using that to his advantage in order to slaughter all of Limbo Town. He was far in the future at the time this happened. The Sheeda didn't want him to leave seeing he could make things better in their wasteland of a world. A spell there. A patch of field work there. Sharing medical knowledge and teaching some kids spells to cause mischief here and there. All of it added up to him being well loved and not being able to leave anytime soon.

When he returned to his home time, his Mother and sister were dead. Along with everyone from Limbo Town. Nothing survived. Not even the dead. It was after this horrible event that he ran back to Blue Rafters. Hoping he could find something to make it right. He may not have liked his home town, but he loved his family, even if they could be annoying at times especially his sister.

He ended up wandering the Rafters causing mischief on occasion and trying to learn as much as he could. There was no limits in the Blue Rafters on what he could learn. All magic was free to be engraved in his mind.

He ended up meeting Nabu on the streets. The man was using Kent as a host at the time. And Klarion couldn't help but enjoy both men's company during those days. Teekl enjoyed them as well.

Pulling his legs up onto the roof better he watched as a man and woman who looked like his Bounded left the house and headed off to where ever they were needed.

Watching as the car drive off Klarion couldn't help but feel a little jealous of Wally. He was with his family and was able to learn all he wanted. The option of not learning anything was there even! Something Klarion couldn't fathom truthfully. If you had the opportunity to learn it, do so. If you don't need it forget it. Simple as that. There were many times he regretted not learning something when he had the chance.

Teekl looked up at him before jumping up onto his shoulders. Scratching behind her ears the witch stood up. Time to handle some natural chaos before coming back to check on his Lord of Order.

Wally yawned as he walked out of the school. It wasn't a bad day at school, but a long one. He didn't really want to train this afternoon. But seeing his friends would be nice. Besides if he was having his ass handed to him, he might stop having these thoughts.

They been bugging him since last night. Did he really become a Lord of Order or did he just have some wacky dream due to wearing the Helmet of Fate a few days ago? If it was real just what should he do with Klarion? Especially the information he gave.

Another Superboy. That was worrisome. He should tell Batman or at least Robin. But if it was just a dream then he would be making a fool out of himself. Which he didn't need around the Caped Crusader and his Squire. Well, not more than usual anyway.

Slumping over slightly he walked down the street. The sound of someone walking beside him caught his attention. Looking over to his right he jumped at the sight of Klarion walking on the wall next to him.

Dressed like a pilgrim and with his cat on his shoulders the Witch-Boy stopped a few feet ahead and looked questionably behind him at Wally.

"Something the matter?"

Green eyes blinked before the Speedster groaned. It wasn't a dream.


Was going to be longer but it didn't want to be.

Next up! Wally gets introduced to his new duties as a Lord of Order. Kalrion gets a chance to show off his work and his little home.

So Forward!
