Chapter 8:
The Ancient Armory
I don't own MA at all, I only play with the plot.
The next day, it was a sunny Saturday & the Tamers would meet once again at the Ancient Armory inside the volcano, all children had to go too, including Keepers like Greta & Elena.
"Zobedja Zick, it's good to see you." A rough looking guy said.
"Paco Launey, it's nice to see you too." Zob said. "You have a family I see."
"Yes, meet my sons Paul & Raul, and my wife Juliet." Paco Launey said.
"Paco, you already know Greta, and this is our son Zick, his girlfriend Ella and his friend Elena." Zob said.
"Are they Tamers?" Paco asked.
"Ella is a Tamer, but Elena is a Keeper like me." Greta said.
"I never heard about a Tamer girl named Ella." Paco said.
"That's because I was born under another identity, but since I'm a Tutor, I refuse to take my birth identity." Ella said.
"Then something very bad must have happened to your family." Paco concluded.
"I will talk about it later." Ella said. "The Zicks already know it since I live in with them."
"Good, but let's start." Paco said and the whole group of Tamers came to the middle of the big hall inside the volcano.
Dan & Cole Tusalech, Wally Maccabee, Lay Marmery, Lay Zay Marmery, Lieu Marmery, Lenali Marmery were the other tamers besides the Launeys and the Zicks.
"Welcome at the Ancient Armory, thank you all for coming." Zob said.
"We would always come to figure out a plan to defeat the Dark Tamers." Cole Tusalech said.
"It's practically our duty, Cole." Wally said.
"Johanna & Teddy are not here because of the fact that Terrence is a Dark Tamer now, otherwise they would have been welcome very much." Ella said.
"I agree on that, guess you are new here." Lenali Marmery said.
"I am new here. You all don't know me because I'm only a Halfblood Human, I'm also a Tutor in Bibbur-Si and I've got more duties then a regular Tamer like you all, so it can be I can't attend at meetings like this because of the Maximum Council." Ella said.
"When will you tell us your true identity?" Juliet Launey asked.
"Well, I better do it now, I like it to be said." Ella said. "You might not believe it, but I am Ellaconda Johanna Thaur, the daughter of Terrentuja Travis Thaur, I was born in Bibbur-Si and I got my Tutor powers that night. Timothy Moth & Larraby Tuth were there to witness it."
"You're Johanna's daughter?" Cole asked. "That means you're my niece!"
"I like it to have an uncle." Ella said.
"I've got 2 cousins? I like that!" Dan Tusalech said.
"So that's why you didn't want to mention it earlier." Paco said.
"Indeed, but there's one more thing you all should know." Ella said. "It's about Hector Sinistro."
"Please tell us." Wally said.
"Sinistro also has a daughter, she's 14 right now. All I know about her is that her name is Nicolane Sinistro." Ella said.
"And how do you get that information?" Lay Zay Marmery asked.
"The Maximum Council, I am a Maximum Tutor." Ella said.
"You're a Maximum? How?" Lieu Marmery asked.
"It happened to her the night after her birth." Timothy said as he jumped upon the table in the middle. "Lardine and I were there. It happened because Ella here breathed the Pure Air of Bibbur-Si when she took her first breath. It's a special happening, that's why the Council decided to let her 'disappear' for a while so that Terrentuja would think his daughter is death."
"But instead of that, you raised her as one of us." Lenali said.
"That's right Lenali." Timothy said. "It's better to have more allies then enemies right?"
"That indeed is a good thinking work." Lay asked.
"But now, we better welcome the new ones: Ezekiel Zick, Ellaconda Thaur, Elena Potato, Paul Launey, Raul Launey and Lay Marmery." Zob said, naming all the children.
Then a Flyvan flew to the group.
"Aaah! A Flyvan!" the most of them called, only Zick, Ella & Elena kept standing on their places.
"Mother Flyvan!" Elena called and hugged the Flyvan. "There's a danger coming up?"
"Oh for god's sake! It must be Magnacat again and his alliance with the Dark Phantoms." Ella said. "That's the only explanation."
"Sounds like danger to me." Zick said and the Flyvan picked him up to settle him on her back, and Ella too.
Zick & Ella flew up to the sky, seeing a zeppelin.
"It's a Gorka Zeppelin, see those Gorka's lurking the Dark Phantoms." Zick said and pointed at all the Dark Phantoms who went in the balloon. "I don't like the look of this."
Then the Flyvan's left wing was suddenly wrapped in Dark Phantom slime.
"Crap! They've seen us!" Ella said and shot at the Phantoms behind them.
"Young Tamer spies, not a bad breakfast." one of the Phantoms said.
The Flyvan freed herself and flew back to the Armory as Ella managed to shoot the Phantoms with her white Dom.
"Good shot!" Zick said and they landed at the Armory again.
"What was it?" Zob asked, worrying about Zick.
"The alliance between Magnacat & the Dark Phantoms is a true fact right now. I need to warn the Maximum Council and Jeremy straight away!" Ella said and made telepating connection to Jeremy, who was at the Berrymore House, and to Carnaby Croth, who was at Bibbur-Si.
"Etally Elth to Jeremy Joth & Carnaby Croth, I spotted the Gorka Zeppelin above the volcano, Magnacat succeed in forming an alliance with the Dark Phantoms. He's probably on his way to Bibbur-Si, be sure that all monsters are safe and that the Tamers can come to help." Ella told them.
"We can't allow the Tamers in Bibbur-Si, not after what happened to Terrentuja Travis Thaur." Carnaby said.
"You will need their help and I warn you, these Tamers I'm with are very bright, none of them feels Dark, trust me." Ella said.
"I do trust you Ella." Jeremy told her.
"Deputy also trusts you, Barnaby is not sure and I think you're too young. But then let those Tamers come with you." Carnaby said.
"Thank you Carnaby." Ella said and broke the telepating connection.
"And?" Zob asked.
"We may enter Bibbur-Si, but Carnaby doesn't really trust it yet. Just be sure you behave." Ella said. "I don't want any problems with the Council."
"We understand that." Wally said.
"C'mon, let's go right now." Ella said.
"The children need to stay at the Armory in Timothy's care." Greta insisted.
"They can't stay Greta, we need all forces & powers we have, that includes all children." Ella said. "And no exceptions."
"But they are still children." Greta said.
"We might be children, but we're wise & strong enough to care for ourselves." Zick said. "I've seen how you underestimated us before, but right now we're stronger then we'll ever be. This is also our fight."
"Zick's right." Paul Launey said. "If we can't fight right now, we'll never be able too."
"Yeah! That are exactly my words!" Raul Launey said.
"We will fight, whatever you adults may say." Lay Marmery said.
"We go via Flyvan, it's the safest way to get there." Ella said and whistled.
A Flyvan landed beside Ella and picked her up and put Zick behind her, sneaking a Dom Staff with her.
Lay & Elena took a Flyvan together and Paul & Raul, the other Tamers flew all apart.
"Good luck Tamers." Timothy said and jumped upon Zick & Ella's Flyvan.
They few to Bibbur-Si, where they landed and Ella changed into her Tutor form.
"Tamers, we've got to prepare ourselves for the worst." Ella said. "Be strong!"
Then the Gorka Blip appeared in view.
"There it is!" Greta called, pointing at the Blip.
"The control room will be attacked first, we need to fight for the Suspended City." Zick called.
"The Tutors will see that they were wrong. Tamers, take your places!" Zob called.
The Dark Phantoms invaded the city, attacking all monsters and covering them with the red sticky slime from their hands.
Ella shot her white Dom, hitting all Phantoms she shot at.
Zick stood with his back against her, shooting his green Dom, also hitting a lot of Phantoms.
The other Tamers also shot their Dom at the Phantoms, some were hit, others not.
Timothy protected Elena & Greta since they were helping the monsters to get out of the Battlefield.
Then the Maximum Tutors showed up.
"It will be like in the older days." Carnaby said. "When Tamers & Tutors used to be allies. For the good of Upper City, the Suspended City."
"Finally they came." Zick said.
"Better late than never." Zob said.
"Prepare for the counter attack." Carnaby said and winked the Tamers to come closer.
All Tamers came to the 3 Maximum Tutors, including Timothy & Ella, now both in Tutor form.
"Let them come closer." Barnaby said and the Tamers stopped shooting.
The Phantoms came closer, with their arms stretched forward like zombies.
"Dom Energy Strom now!" Carnaby said and lifted his arms.
All the Dom Energy shot out and the circle became larger and larger, burning almost all Phantoms.
Then the Blip went away.
"They'll be back." Zob said.
"Then we need to stop them." Zick said and he jumped upon a Flyvan, alone this time.
"Zick!" Greta shouted.
"Let him be Greta." Timothy said. "He must do what's best."
"He's still a child!" Greta objected.
"But he's strong and wiser than us." Deputy said. "We always underestimated young Tamers, but he showed that age doesn't matter. And we need to thank Etally for training him so well."
"It's nothing." Ella said. "Timothy helped me as well."
"But you did all the work Ella, that's why you deserve to love him like you do." Timothy said. "You are the wisest Tutor of Bibbur-Si at the moment."
"Thank you Timothy. I appreciate it." Ella said.
"Let's hope Zick has a plan." Greta said.
Zick was flying near the Blip after it had gained re-enforcements.
He took the Dom Staff & his Dombox inside, capturing the steering captain Vissioquad.
Then the Dark Phantoms came down through the balloon, but Zick had prepared, he swung with the Dom Staff in circles.
All the Phantoms burned and Zick jumped upon the Flyvan to fly back to Bibbur-Si.
He was welcomed, greeted by the Maximum Tutors and hugged & kissed by Ella.
"You were very brave, Ezekiel Zick. I think we owe you a lot of respect." Barnaby said.
"You will be respected by all the Tutors for your bravery." Carnaby said.
"And your Tutors Timothy Moth & Etally Elth will be back in charge, but Jeremy Joth still will stay." Deputy said.
"But first, I want to congratulate Ezekiel Zick & Etally Elth with their new relationship." Timothy said.
The Tutors smiled & clapped and the Tamers cheered.
Zick turned to Ella and kissed her fully on her mouth
"I knew you really loved me." Zick said.
"I loved you for a while, I never met someone like you before." Ella said.
"I'll be forever loyal to you, my love." Zick said.
"And I'll be loyal to you." Ella said and kissed him.
