Chapter nine: Odd friendship
O
"Moontooth's" POV
10 years in the future...
"Son, you alright?"
I-I- I can feel my heart beating again... what was that?
"I thought you were lost in time..." I heard my dad said, bringing my attention to him.
"What...? What happened?"
"Are ya alright there?" Bunnie said on the radio, I was actually happy to hear that voice right now.
I thought I was a goner...
"Yeah... I'm fine... I'm not sure what happened though." I said, holding my hand to the earpiece. "Don't worry about that any more though. I'm on my way."
I nodded to my father before I continued to run.
We need to get to the group, pronto.
Roger "Moon" Woodstock's POV
"Present" time.
"Okey... Tell me what is going on, now." I demanded, standing up from my chair. This time I was not gonna sit back down! "Who is this... girl... and what does the Time Stone have to do with me?"
"Stones." I heard Cronus correcting me. "There are six more."
"Whatever... Just answer my question."
"Well..." Cronus said, holding his hands together. "In this base we created a machine that does experiments with black holes together with space and time, far more better then the ones the government does. Here we tried to use that technology to control time without the Time Stone, unfortunately this created a dark black hole that somehow swallowed the very existence off Little Planet and the Time Stones. Inside that black hole... the planet is slowly dying. We managed to get the red Time Stone but every time we sent down a man to get the rest... the black hole vaporized him. It was a pretty interesting sight, heheh."
"I still don't know what this has to do with me..." I said, placing my hand on my head.
"Well... as soon as we realized the very planet, and the control of time was dying this lady came around." Cronus said, nodding to the female wolf. "She was found sneaking around the dome of this facility, checking the controls of the black hole as well as snatching the Time Stone I had acquired. I believe that somehow together with it's power and maybe with some help she will be able to the Stones back before they die with the planet... Of course she wouldn't help me as it would mean I would get the Stones and maybe use them for my own evil deeds. But apparently she got something involved with you... So in other words, I wont kill you and she helps me and I wont kill your little girlfriend if you help her."
I blinked, this information was too much.
"Wait... what?"
Cronus just chuckled at me. "Get the seven Stones and rapport back to me, simple enough. Take them away."
Two tough guys grabbed my arms and pushed me towards a bit tunnel together with the female.
This was going to fast... I'm suppose to do what?
"Remember... if you fail to bring the Stones, your girlfriend dies."
Great...
We were taken to a giant dome of some sort, technology as far as my eye could see...
And down in the middle was a GIANT black hole! I mean, geez, that thing is big!
I adjusted my sunglasses, sighing. Why is this happening...?
"Here's your sword miss." One of the guards said, giving a really big sword to the girl next to me.
Jikes that thing looked deadly...
"Thanks..." She muttered, placing it in the holster on her back.
"We will be watching your every move. We can't enter the hole, but we can watch into it. No funny business."
And with that said, and with the red stone in my hand, we were pushed into the hole!
I screamed in fear, my heart beating like crazy as I saw the black hole coming closer and closer.
The Time Stone began to shine brightly as we got closer and before I knew it...
Everything was dark.
"Wake up..."
I felt how my shoulder was being slightly shacked as I regained the pain I just had felt moments ago.
Except my head was hurting more then before...
I opened my eyes and saw huge palmtrees above me, swaying roughly to the though wind.
I blink, noticing the planet was surrounded by a dark black sky, purple thunder coming down every second.
Is this how it is being trapped in a black hole?
"Only when the hole is made of time." A voice answered my thoughts. I raised an eyebrow, wondering where the voice came from and how the person knew what I was thinking.
"Our species tend to read peoples mind in tough situations." The voice said again as I suddenly saw it's owner watching me from above.
It was the wolf girl, now trying to wake me up.
"Morning, smarthead." She said with a chuckle, holding her hand down towards me. "Need help?"
I groaned in pain, grabbing her hand so she could help me up on my feet.
When she was assured I was okey and awake she nodded at me, telling me to follow her.
"Alright, let's go." She said as she turned around.
"Wait. Who are you?" I asked.
She quickly turned around, frowning at my question. "Really? You don't know? And you're suppose to be the chosen one? Well I guess you haven't met your father yet..."
She shrug at me before giving me a chuckle. "Name's Artemis if you must."
"Hi Artemis..." I said tiredly, my brain still trying to melt the information I had been given the past hours. "Might you please tell me what the hell is going on?"
My question made her smile, somehow, like she found my question funny.
"You're funny." She said with a chuckle. "Well like mister stereotypical bad guy said, I'm here to find the Time Stones. If they die with the planet, time shall stop exist. And as you might have guessed, that is bad. It has always been my duty since I was born to guard the Stones on Little Planet every time the planet showed itself. There is only four Time Stones here though, the fifth being in your hand."
I shook my head in the confusion, this was too much. "Wait... there is only four here and one in my hand?"
"That's right, fun guy." She said with another chuckle. Man this is the first girl I ever met that chuckle like me... creepy. "The other two are located at some secret base called Knot... something. I usually forget details."
Alright... so I think I got this... sort off.
"Good cause we got things to do." She said as she began to walk away.
"Wait! For the first, stop reading my mind!" I said as I followed her. "Secondly... what did you mean by meeting my dad? He's dead..."
She stopped again, turning her head once more. "You are really stupid. Thank god you're cute..."
She began to walk again, leaving me confused.
"Okey listen here woman!" I shouted at her because I just can't handle this crap any more!
Who does she take me for?
"Okey first, don't you shout on me!" She suddenly said, turning to me once again. "And secondly, I can still read your mind. Third, you are one of the few who are related to an ancient wolf race that right now is dying. Your father never died, he joined our race's cult. Personally I hate the cult, but what they say is unfortunately the truth so I stick around. Now we need to secure the Time Stones and then get your ass over to the cult so you can do some good stuff. And yes, you are the chosen one but I am starting to disbelieve that..."
And she began to walk again...
Man I wished I could read her thoughts for a change.
'Thank god for that ass...'
Wait WHAT? That thought wasn't mine, was it hers? What was that?
And then I noticed that she suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned to me, a creepily angry look on her face.
"Did you just READ my mind?" She yelled at me, poking my chest.
"No, of course not!" I yelled in fear.
Wait what, fear?
Okey this girl is more creepy than Amy ever was.
"Don't call me creepy!" She shouted at me, now holding her sword in the air READY TO CUT ME?
"AH!" I yelled in fear, holding my hands over my head.
But the giant blade didn't seem to ever wanting to come down.
"You're so cute when your scared." She giggled, placing the sword back in her holster. "You're so easy to scare it's funny. Now let's go."
...what? Did I just got scared by some girl? Okey this is weird... I'm Moontooth, a killer. I shouldn't be afraid!
But it seems like this girl can get to me pretty easily... creepy.
I shook my head, trying to calm myself down. I'm Moontooth, remember? Why... how is it possible she can scare me so easy?
Jikes...
Anyhow... I guess I should follow her...
This is some gonna be an odd friendship, that's for sure.
"You're the odd one."
Yeah... right.
