Sorry that I took so long to update this ^^''

This past 2 months were quite hard for me, and to be honest, I didn't even thought about updating this.

But two days ago, I thought to myself "today is the day", so I started writing it, and today I finished it.

A few suprises are stored in this chapter, a bit more of information about the plates, and the chosen ones.

And the real identity of the fifth chosen one.

I tried my best to transform this chapter in something worth reading.

Hope you enjoy =]

Chapter9 – Revelations The fifth chosen one

Jack, Ruben, Meryan – What?!

Ruben – B…but, how do you know? And how can you be sure?

Tobi – I'll explain the hows later, we need to worry now.

The test… I was expecting it to be later… Way later.

I wanted to have the time to get use to my powers, to control them… to be confident.

I wasn't feeling very confident, by the contrary, I was nervous.

Would it be hard?... Dangerous…?

Would I be able to protect my friends… Meryan?

Could we really trust Tobi?

??? – Jack?

??? – Jack!

Meryan – Jack!!

Jack – Hum? What?

Meryan – I'm calling your for ages! Are you ok?

Jack – I… I am. I must have zoned out.

Meryan – Jack… can we really trust Tobi? I mean, he doesn't seem like a bad person, but I don't know, he could just be tricking us.

Jack – All he said seemed accurate, but I agree with you, I was thinking the exact same thing. We can't let our guard down, we need to be careful.

We exited the park, and outside it, near Ruben and Tobi, there was a car waiting.

Tobi – Get in.

We all hesitated, even Ruben.

Ruben – I ain't entering the car! Like my mother used to say: "don't take a ride from strangers".

Meryan - … Exactly, nothing personal, but we don't trust you.

Jack – As far as I know, that could all have been just an act to trick us. This could be a trap to get our plates.

Tobi – I was expecting this to happen… but, I assure you that this is not a trap.

All I said it's true, about the plates, the test, all.

I don't know what's going to happen, I don't know what kind of test it will be… people could get hurt… even die. Are you guys willing to take that risk just because you don't trust me?

Ruben – I couldn't live with myself if someone dies because of something I did… or didn't.

Meryan – Wow Ruben, that was deep, I'm impressed.

Ruben - I'll take that as a compliment.

Meryan - … You win, I'll go. Jack?

Both of them were right, and despite me being still suspicious about Tobi, something inside me was telling me I should trust him.

Jack – Ok, but you'd better be telling the truth.

Tobi – I swear I'm a friend, and you guys have my full support.

Suddenly, someone got out of the car.

It was someone on is twenty's.

I had a strange feeling that I had already seen him somewhere.

??? – Hey, Tobi, we need to hurry, we are losing time.

Jack – Who… is he?

Tobi – Oh, this is my brother, Elliot.

Elliot – Yo.

Jack – Wait! Elliot? Elliot hell's road?

Elliot – Yeah… how do you know my name?

Jack – No wonder you seemed familiar. Last year, during the Taekwondo tournament, you were my opponent in the final… and you won.

Elliot – Wait? Jack? Whoa, nice to see ya. Quite the coincidence and you're even a chosen one. Man, here's something I wasn't expecting.

Jack - I say… Are you part of all this as well?

Elliot – Look, I don't mind explaining it, we really need to hurry, we already lost quite the time here.

Jack – Ok, let's go.

Meryan – So… another coincidence…

Jack – This is getting to weird… But trust me, having someone like Elliot on our side will help a lot.

Ruben – Why?

Jack - … You know how good I am in taekwondo right?

Ruben – Yeah, you're the best in your Gym.

Jack – Well, when we fought in the final, in the middle of our combat, there was some guy calling him names, he freaked out and went fighting him, five more guys appeared, he knocked then all out in less than 5seconds, came back, and still won me.

Ruben – Whoa…

Jack – Yeah…

Ruben - You were owned!

Jack – I… wait! That's not the point!

Elliot – hahaha, they deserved it, but you Jack, you evaded most of my attacks very well, I was quite impressed.

Jack – Well, I still couldn't get near you, you were incredibly fast.

Elliot – Practice. I'm sure you'll get to that level if you practice, you'll see.

Jack - Thanks!

Meryan – That's quite awesome. You got owned Jack.

Tobi – We really need to go, leave that for later.

Elliot – Oh, right, get in the car, we can still make it if I step on it.

We all entered the car.

Elliot – I suggest you guys fasten your seat belts.

We all did.

Ruben – But why should we…

He stepped on it.

Ruben – Whoooaaaaa, never mind

Tobi – According to the information we got from ancient papers, the test should occur in about fifteen minutes, here.

He showed the position in a map he had on is hand

Meryan – It's near the docks, but that's more than fifteen minutes from here.

Elliot – Trust me, I'll get us there on time.

Ruben - … Safe and sound?

Elliot - I can't promise you that.

Ruben – Great, we are gonna die even before we get there.

Meryan – Stop jinxing things!

Ruben – Hey, it's not my fault for being worried if we are going at almost one hundred kilometers an hour.

Jack – Elliot, you still didn't told me how you got to be a part of all this.

Elliot – Oh yeah. In fact, I discovered the information about the plates long before Tobi got to be a part of this. For years, I studied the pages and the artifacts left by the ancient. At first, it was just that, a legend, nothing serious. But it all changed when I found one of the plates 2 years ago. After spending years studying the information's about it, I learned how to read a person's soul and know if he is a chosen one.

At first, I could only do it if a person was really near me, but as the time passed, I controlled it, and now, I can feel it basically anywhere.

That's how I managed to find you guys in the park so fast.

Jack – But I remember Tobi saying that he only got his powers 3 days ago.

Elliot – In Tobi's case, I already knew, being obvious for me, that he was a chosen one, but the problem with him, was the necklace. It was only possible to get the necklace four days ago, in jewelry three days from here, and it was quite expensive.

Meryan – But can you feel only the chosen ones or anyone?

Elliot – Anyone. While training to be able to find the chosen ones, I acquired quite the advanced sensing skill. I can feel anyone's presence around me, but sometimes I still have a little hard time knowing who it is.

Ruben - What do you mean?

Elliot – Well, as you know, a city is not made up only of people, we have cats, birds, and other animals. Sometimes it can be tricky distinguishing both.

Ruben – Whoa…

Tobi – Elliot, on the phone, you said you had discovered something more while translating the papers.

Elliot –Oh, glad you reminded me.

It's true, I discovered more information's about the fifth chosen one.

Everyone – Oh?

Elliot – According to the information I have translated, first, the fifth chosen is female, and it's someone all of us know.

Jack - What do you mean "Someone we all know"?

Elliot – Well, I guess it means what it means, someone we all know.

Meryan - … So this explains the recent coincidences.

Jack – I was thinking the same.

Elliot – I also found out quite the important information.

Tobi – What?

Elliot – About the plates, about the first powers of each plate.

Meryan – Well, tell us!

Elliot – Let's start with Jack.

Jack has the blue plate, the blue plate gives the chosen one the power of healing and water as a normal.

Meryan has the green plate, the green plate gives her telekinesis and the power to talk with nature.

Ruben – You can talk with nature?

Meryan – Yes

Ruben - Why didn't you told anything?

Meryan – Because you didn't asked.

Ruben - … fair enough.

Jack – Please continue Elliot.

Elliot – Where was I… oh yeah.

Tobi has the white plate, the white plate gives him the power to control time and return to the past, although for only a small amount of time.

Ruben has the dark plate, the dark plate gives him the power to become invisible and a slightly increased speed.

Ruben – Whoa, like a ninja.

Meryan – A shame you slower than a snail.

Ruben – Oh you… you don't need to be jealous.

Meryan – I just have two words for you…Tekken5 .

Ruben - … Please continue Elliot.

Jack n' Tobi – Ouch….

Elliot – Ouch… Now, for the fifth chosen one.

She seems to have the Golden plate, the golden plate gives her the power to create giant molecular spheres and turn her body as hard as stone.

All this powers that I referred to, are all about the first part of the plate that you have.

Jack – Can't you give information about the other parts?

Elliot - I'd love to, but unfortunately, I still haven't translated the next part, and it's it takes quite the long hours to get it done.

Jack - I understand, the information you gave us now was more than useful, thanks.

Elliot – Not at all, that's my job in all of this anyway.

Meryan – How much time do we still have?

Tobi – About five minutes.

Elliot – Will make it, you'll see.

I guess we were wrong about Tobi, he was right, he is a friend, and so is Elliot, they are one of us now.

I couldn't take it anymore, I had to ask Meryan if she knew my sister, or anything about Kairi. No more fear, no more running out, it was now or never.

Ruben, Tobi and Elliot were distracted talking, it was the best time.

Jack – Meryan, I need to ask you something.

Meryan – What is it Jack?

Jack – Something I've wanted to ask you for quite a while, but we were always interrupted.

Meryan – Go ahead.

Jack – Do you know someone named Jane or Kairi?

Ifinally asked, no interruptions, no nothing.

Meryan – I knew you'd ask that sooner or later…

Jack – I… I just want the truth.

Meryan - … Yes Kairi is… or was… my sister.

I knew it, she knew Kairi, that explains why she looks so much with Kairi, but..

Jack – But why didn't you told me anything? I… this hurt so much, all this year's…

Meryan – … I'll tell you why. When Kairi disappeared, we all thought that she died in that car crash, but one year later, me and Jane, we found out about the plates, and we found evidence that Kairi might have not died in the car crash.

Kairi was… alive…? All this time… all this pain… I… It was too much… I just lost control.

Jack – WHATTTTTTT??

Tobi – Jack! What's the matter?

Jack – I… I… it's nothing.

Tobi – You sure?

Jack - Yes, don't worry, I… I just kinda freaked out about something

Tobi – I see, that happens to me all the time.

Jack - ………

Tobi – Jack?

Meryan – He needs some time alone, he… never mind.

Tobi – I won't force, I understand.

Ruben - Ok, were almost there.

Meryan – What? Jack, were almost there Jack, snap out of it! Jack!

Jack – ……..

Meryan - Jack… I… I'm sorry I only told you this now, but Jack, we have a mission now, we have to do it.

Jack - …….

Meryan – Jack… even if it's small, there is the chance that Kairi is the fifth chosen one.

That was probably the only thing that could make me come back to myself…. The only thing.

Jack – I… you're right… even if it's a small chance, that can happen… Elliot, STEP ON IT!

Elliot – Ten seconds to reach the point.

10,9….5….2,1, we got there.

We got out of the car with caution.

Jack – Elliot, can you sense anyone?

Elliot – No, no one, not even a fish… this is really strange. Everyone, be on the lookout.

We advanced further into the docks, that area was foggy, the air was heavy, there was no one around.

When I looked at Elliot, he was strange, he seemed scared.

Jack – Elliot! What's the matter?

Elliot - … They are everywhere… five seconds ago, I couldn't sense anyone, now I there are at least twelve.

All – What?!

Elliot – Everyone, gather and do a circle, we need to defend ourselves.

We did a circle… and we waited.

Everyone was nervous, we were expecting an attack that could come from all sides… we could die there….

Suddenly, the first one came.

Jack – LEFT!

Meryan – Leave him to me.

She concentrated her powers in a nearby boat, and throw it at him.

He screamed as the boat hit him felt on top of him.

Meryan – Eleven to go.

This time two came, from up.

Elliot – Up! Jack!

Jack – They're ours.

Tobi – Two more coming, Ruben, let's do this.

Ruben – o…ok!

The two that were coming from up, had swords.

They attacked me and Elliot, we evaded the swords easily due to Taekwondo.

They didn't seem to have any fighting skills.

When he tried to punch me with is right hand, I grabbed it, pulled him to me and punched him in the face, knocking him out.

Elliot just applied on his a rotating kick doing the same.

This seemed to easy…

Ruben used his extra speed to easily beat his guy, Tobi just slowed time down and attacked.

Ruben - Seven left.

This time, we felt a strong power, someone quite powerful was coming.

He appeared surrounded by the remaining six men.

??? – *Laugh* So, you are the so much talked chosen ones. Let's see what you are capable off.

He ordered his men to attack.

I reminded what Elliot said about my plate, I had the power of healing… and water.

I concentrated myself, I aimed all my focus to the six man, and released it.

A giant wave was formed, and swallowed all of the six men, destroying also boats and other stuff in the way, I just hoped that I didn't had to pay that, but, the that attack left me quite weak…

??? – Humph, not bad, but your futile efforts end here.

He had a staff on his hand, he pointed it at us and it somehow started charging, it seemed something quite strong.

Tobi – I'll stop time to give us enough time to evade it.

??? – Fool's! Your powers are useless against me, you all shall perish here, say your prayers!

We couldn't move, it was like we were paralyzed. His attack was almost charged… I guess this was the end.

Ruben - I can't die here! I'm young to die!

Meryan – Oh, so that means the rest of us is too old to die? You're so selfish!

Tobi – Bro… I guess this is it…

Elliot – Never say never, don't give up, you'll see we'll get over this.

Jack – Ruben, you're too stubborn to die.

??? - See you in hell!

He shoot that massive amount of power towards us, I didn't wanted to believe it, but I guess it was the end. I had to say it… my feelings…

Jack – Meryan…. I…. I love you

Meryan – I… I love you too Jack.

We kissed, and we turned around just to see the ball of power hitting a blue sphere… we could move again.

??? – What? It cannot be! Who dares ruining my attack?

???2 – You shall not touch a hair of them.

That voice… Jane?
