(I'M NOT DEAD! I SWEAR! Wait… yeah I'm pretty sure I'm alive. Although my no-updating-ness makes me want to go die in a hole. So yeah. Sorry I haven't been updating… its kinda been busy… and instead of my normal "Klarion is soooo adorable, wait, I have an idea for a new chapter now!… ooh I want a cookie!" thoughts, I'm having "okay, six missing assignments in science, two in math, three in English… no, no its three in history… no, wait, English. Gotta turn this in… ugh why didn't I just do that yesterday! Wait… we have a test today? I'm gonna go curl up into a ball and have a nervous breakdown now." thoughts. Not. Fun. I should really start doing my work. And studying. On second thought, nah. That stuff is boring. So yeah, I'm terribly sorry for not updating, and you have full rights to sneak into my house at night and kill me in my sleep. You can even borrow my sharp objects. ANYWAYS… onto the thanking. (By the way, yes, I do read reviews. And then I start giggling uncontrollably from happiness that there are people as insane as me out there.)
Thanks to:
Darkness Roams The Earth- thanks for putting this on the story alert thingy. It's always cool to see that someone likes the story enough to put all that effort into clicking a button. Seriously, not even I do that a lot.
Girloveswaffles5- thanks for favoriting and alerting, because it's also nice to know that someone likes it enough to click twice. You are a seriously awesome person, then again, so is everyone around here. But you are seriously super awesome.
Abbie Brown- thanks for favoriting and reviewing, because it's incredibly nice to know that I am not just writing this for my own amusement and you care enough to type in your comments. And on your review, I am going by Kirby's version (mostly), where, from what I know, says Klarion is from Witch-World. And while that is from Wikipedia, I shall take my chances.
Now Abbie Brown's review also reminded me of something I wanted to say for a while. His back story and details about his home may be mixed with the Seven Soldiers (Morrison's version) Klarion. Why? Because I was kind of confused when I started this. Can you blame me? Apparently there's like, three different versions of Klarion (Kirby's, David's ("Klarion... Bum, bum, bum… The Witch Boy" :D Sorry, had to put that there, it's just so cute!), and Morrison's). So yes, a few things are mixed up, I probably accidently incorporated bits and pieces of other Klarion fanfiction authors' versions of his world because I was so confused. ( picture me trying to start this fanfiction and checking Wikipedia while saying "Okay, so he's from Witch-World, some other dimension place… no, now it says he lived in Limbo Town, some place under New York… wait… what? But he was just… whatever.") I happen to be a very confused person. It's in my nature. But hey, I don't want to copy other's stories so maybe it will help out a bit. I've read probably all of the Klarion fanfiction here (unless one has been posted that I haven't seen), do any use Kirby's version (or try to) and sound kind of close to it? I don't know. SO sorry for the giant author's note. I felt I should explain that.
So… Eliza-centric chapters will be more common for now I think, and if it's kind of cliché (cliché may come in this chapter, maybe next, who knows… oh wait… I'm supposed to), I know. The other way I was going to go with this wouldn't work out. (I'm an idiot, I know). But don't worry, hopefully not the romance-clichés (heaven forbid (though I don't seem to take my own advice often)), something else. Anyways…
Here's the new chapter!)
"You ready?" Klarion asked. They stood precariously on the roof of the Hall of Justice, and if the wind blew any harder, one of them would most likely fall off. Eliza had wrapped her arms around herself, it was too cold up there for her.
"We've been putting this off for a while. We need to attack or else we won't get a chance." She said.
"Actually, you have been putting this off. Afraid of the Lord of Order?" Klarion teased. Eliza punched him, sending him over the edge. He created a portal under him and landed up next to her again.
"You're an idiot." Eliza said.
"I know you are but what am I?" Klarion said.
"If I am an idiot, you are an absolute, complete, moron. Answer your question?"
"Harsh." Klarion opened up a new portal, guessing that her comment meant she was okay, if not a little nervous. They walked through, landing inside the building. Eliza heard something and tensed, it sounded like quiet footsteps. "You can relax you know, nobody should be here right now, and Nabu is probably out looking for us. We're just going to see where he is through here. They have to have somekind of tracker on each of the members." Klarion went to look at the book shelves. Reporters looked in here every day from a window, but how many sociopathic super villains even made it this far? Probably not too many. "There should be some kind of giant computer around here… ooh I wonder if there is a secret passage way to a real meeting room or something... They'd be idiots if they held meetings in here where someone can just look inside."
"They probably hold meetings in here then." Eliza said. She walked around the room, looking at all the shelves of books on the walls. She pulled one out. "Interesting…"
"We don't have time for reading Eliza, you're going to set off some kind of alarm." Klarion said. Eliza pouted.
"Fine." She walked back over to him. "You have any better ideas? I was hoping they would accidently leave out a book on the schematics of this place or something."
"They are stupid, not absolute morons." Klarion said. Eliza looked around, something didn't feel right.
"Maybe… I can feel magic around here." She said. Klarion stopped looking around the room for a moment.
"We can take whoever finds us." Klarion said.
"So sure witch boy?"
"Holy carp!" Klarion spun around to the person. Eliza gasped and shot a fire ball, which was deflected. The two cats hissed and growled, but stayed behind their owners for safety. "Stupid geezer! It's not fair to sneak up on people!" Nabu appeared amused.
"And you ever play fair?" he said.
"You're the good guy, You guys are into stupid stuff like fairness and justice!" Klarion said, shooting fire balls at Nabu. Nabu put up a shield. He seemed to be much stronger with the magician as his host. Eliza stepped into the shadows and started moving around the edge of the room. Neither the Lord of Order nor the Lord of Chaos noticed. She was about ten meters behind Nabu before Klarion noticed. He quickly averted his eyes so his opponent wouldn't see he was distracted. Eliza carefully walked up behind Nabu and created a fire in her hand. Nabu seemed to notice she wasn't near Klarion anymore. She slammed the fire into his back and he went flying forward. She smirked. Klarion laughed.
"Gotta love magic fire." She said. Nabu got up and shot a beam of light at Eliza. She screamed and was thrown back. Klarion started throwing fire at Nabu again.
"How dare you!" he yelled. Nabu put up a shield again, but the fire seemed stronger now. Klarion raised his hands up and red lightning crashed down on Nabu's dome-like shield. Then Klarion smirked. "This seems familiar." Eliza's head cleared from the crash and she got up. She looked at Nabu.
"Ooh… rainbow!" she said, running over to the shield. She made fire in her hands and pressed it into the shield, creating sparks. The shield was weakening. Klarion ran over and did the same, but was careful to keep the lightening up. The golden shield starting flickering.
"Enough!" Nabu yelled. His shield started getting stronger. Klarion grabbed Teekl and a portal appeared behind him. He jumped in and appeared behind Eliza. He pulled her and Hexe into the portal right before Nabu sent out a shockwave of energy, pulverizing the ground around them like he had the last time he fought Klarion.
Klarion, Eliza, and their familiars appeared on the roof again. Klarion looked back into the swirling portal they had just gotten out of. "Killjoy!"
"Klarion, he can't hear you." Eliza said.
"Since when did you become rational?" Klarion said. "Come on, we have to get back in there before Nabu recovers his full strength."
"He's too worked up. If his magic works anything like yours, it will be stronger when he's mad. And he didn't seem to happy when we were attacking him from all sides. Let's just go and wait it out." Eliza said. Klarion pouted, and then smirked at her.
"Looks like I was right, you are afraid of him." He said.
"Shut up and make a portal. We need to get out of here before he contacts his friends." Eliza said. Klarion made a portal, but didn't stop the smirking. He turned towards her.
"You first, since you insist on leaving so quickly." He said. Eliza scowled and Klarion's hair lit on fire. He yelped and put it out. Eliza smirked and walked through the portal, carrying Hexe with her. Teekl walked in next. Klarion followed.
He appeared back in the abandoned place they used for temporary residence, but noticed he was the only one there, and he was starting to feel… distant to the Earth.
"Eliza?" he said. "Teekl? Hello?" he saw a note sitting at his feet and picked it up.
Witch boy,
I apologize for borrowing your friend, but it seems we have something to settle. She will be returned to you once I'm done… maybe. Terribly sorry for the inconvenience, but this is an important matter.
Ryiah the Demon
Klarion gasped. "No…"
"They got away." Dr. Fate said.
"And there was nothing you could do?" Batman said, though it sounded like more of a statement than a question.
"No." Dr. Fate said.
"Very well. It seems we need reinforcements to get her." Batman said.
"I believe the witch boy is of more importance." Dr. Fate said.
"You weren't there when she first came to Earth. She called herself Ryiah, it seems she's going by Eliza now, or at least Klarion calls her that. She's a top priority." Batman said.
"What did she do?" Batman had no trouble remembering the victims. 79 in two months. All… disturbing.
"That is classified."
(I finally finished! So please don't kill me. Because then I couldn't type up the next chapter. Wouldn't that suck to be left here forever with a confusing plot twist? Yeah, just wait, it will most likely get even more confusing. So…
…
…
Bye!)
