And I now present Part Two to the Sixth Chapter! Sorry it took so long, but I have been busy and a bad case of "Writer's Block" had dominated my brain for a while, but I overcame it and I am now continuing my writing. The next is Part Three: Dark Matters.

The Lord of the Fire

Chapter Six:

Darkness

Part Two: Dark Days

Section Six: Boom (Ta)

The New Donna Town Oranges were leading by the half-time or intermission, whatever you prefer. The football players were taking a break while their coach shouted strategies at them. People were getting up from their seats and stretching as well as buying unhealthy crap from the stupid snack-seller, Jason.

"Ladies and gentlemen," rang the voice over the loudspeaker, "please find your seats and marvel at the award-winning New Donna Town High School Marching Band!" The stadium lights immediately dimmed and everyone quited down as the marching band and colorguard made their dramatic entrance. The band entered silently and slowly, while the colorguard waltzed in with glow-sticks in their hands, swinging back and forth and doing various twirls and acrobatics. The band and colorguard eventually stationed themselves in the middle of the stadium and the drum major did a hand movement that made the band ready their instruments. The drum major then did another series of hand movements, one...two...and one, two, breathe...BOOM!

Everyone looked to the direction of the explosion and to their horror, they found that the roof of the Simon Sauceda Fine Arts Auditorium had been blown off, sending debris, rocks and dirt onto the stadium. People immediately thought the obvious, what with smoke rising from the auditorium, they thought it was a bomb that had blown the top of the auditorium off. This just goes to show how ignorant the entire human race is. They see an explosion and they automatically think the obvious and realistic reason to things. Normal people would stop and think, "What if some other forces are behind this? Hmm..."

The sweet sound of panicking people filled the air as they tried to leave the stadium and head straight home.

From the corner of the stadium where I was standing I could see people running and panicking and calling people on their cell phones. But what I also saw was that Nessa, Nora, Kristin and Jason had sprung into action. They were going to use this distraction as a way to get those 13 Powers that still prowled the stadium. I don't think so. I changed my clothes so that I was my regular self, not my usual undercover of a student. I glanced around and spotted Vulcan and Akira making their way toward the center of the stadium. I smiled. I took out a tommy gun, cocked it and fired away! Bullets flew from the gun digging into the flesh of any random person that might have been in the path of the bullet. I continued this until I had reached the center and had met up with Akira and Vulcan. Vulcan nodded to both Akira and me and at that moment, Akira and I jumped high into the air and landed on the bleachers of the stadium. I landed right in front of a Power who had tripped on someone and had scraped his knee. He saw me and immediately a scared expression dominated his face. "G-g-g-g-et the h-hell a-wa-a-a-ay from me!" I had no idea what he was talking about. I mean my eyes were red and yellow and my clothes were like something you would see on Neo from The Matrix but other than that I was normal and my vampirism didn't stand out, nor did my lordness or my shape-shifting powers stand out. So, why was he telling me to go away. Then, it hit me. This Power's power was to be able to see people for who they really are. But still I tried to act innocent.

"Come with me. I'll help you." I said in the most cheeriest voice I could muster.

"No! I know what you are! You're, you're, you're a freak!"

"I am not a freak. I am here to help you. Now, come with me."

"No! He lifted up his hand and I ducked out of the way early enough to see that he had fired a ball of ice from his palm at me.

I leaned closer to him. "Now listen here you little bastard! You will come with me, whether you want to or not." I snarled. I grabbed hold of his head and twisted it hard to the side, breaking quite a few of his neck bones. He slumped onto the floor of the bleachers. I picked him up and took him to Vulcan who gave me a suspicious look.

Section Seven: Dissension (Seid)

I brought back two more to Vulcan as did Akira. So we had, in a grand total, collected five out of the thirteen Powers that were spotted, the rest were picked off by Nora, Nessa, Jason, and Kristin.

People were still screaming and trying to get out of the stadium, apparently all the gates, exits, and entrances were locked and the fence had been equipped with an electrical field. So, there was virtually, no way out. How exciting! BOOM! Lord Vulcan had made the same volcano as before erupt but this time with more intensity that it shook the ground and lava squirted everywhere. Meanwhile this happened, I whipped out my tommy gun again and proceeded with shooting innocent people at random. I felt a sudden rush of adrenaline race through my veins and I became more powerful and strong.

A wide smile grew on my face but was later replaced by a frown when someone had knocked me into the ground. I looked up, enraged at the prospect of being thrown onto the ground and I saw, to my amazement, Jason, one of the Power Agents hovering over me with a sword pointed at my neck.

"Who are you?" I asked, even though I already knew who he was.

"I was, Carlos, your classmate, but I am really Jason Ai, a Power Agent." he said simply.

"What's your power Jason?" I asked relaxed.

He remained quiet.

"I asked you a question!"

"I don't have to answer to you!"

"Really?" I asked. In a single and fast motion, I rolled out from under his sword's point, rose up, and leveled my own sword onto his neck.

"Drop it." I said. He did as I told him, he let his sword fall to the ground, but once it hit the ground, Jason just smiled and said, "This is my power."

Jason turned into a field mouse and scurried away and a fast pace. Irritated, I summoned up all my power and froze time. I ran to where little Jason was, got down on my knees and, using my vampire teeth, bit into him and sucked some of his blood. That ought to teach the little rat not to run away like a scared coward. I picked him up, injected him with a sleeping liquid and put him into my pocket. Then, I unfroze time.

The volcanic eruptions, that were now spread out all around the stadium, continued as did the fight with the three remaining Power Agents. Akira was fighting both Kristin and Nessa at the same time and Lord Vulcan was engaged in battle with Queen Nora. I walked toward Akira to try to help her by battling one of her two opponents, but Queen Nora's new eight Powers barred my way. They all yielded swords. I smiled. This should be fun, battling eight novice and non-experienced Powers. I already had one of my swords out nevertheless, I reached for my second sword and now I held two swords; one in each hand. The leader (I supposed), nodded to the rest and slowly they advanced, forming a circle around me.

They circled my cautiously like a vulture does before swooping down and eating its prey. Then, one of them crazily broke rank. He ran toward me yelling at me manically. It didn't take me long to identify his open space, just above his ankles. I dropped down and in a circular motion, I sliced off both of the Power's legs, sending him falling to the floor grieving in pain.

"Which one of you dumbasses is next?" I asked bloodthirstily.

"I am." said a voice beyond the group. They parted to make way for one of my old friends: Vanessa.

"Well, well. Dear sister, Nessa. We meet again." I said sarcastically.

"Hello, Ram." she replied.

"Have you not heard? I am Jaiden now!"

"Yes, I have heard. But to me you will always be 'Ram' my dear older brother."

"Save it. If you're trying to convert me to your side, it won't work. I have the blood of a vampire, a shape-shifter, and a lord in my veins."

"That is not an obstacle. Only your mind is. It is all simply in your mind dear brother."

"I am not your brother!" I snarled. "You are dead for me, as a fake sister and as a friend!"

"Then you are dead for me too," she said throwing her sword at me.

Has she not learned that my instincts are that of a vampire? I reacted fast, fast enough to kick the sword back in her direction. She must have had vampiric instincts to, because she caught the sword in midair with her hand.

"Remember, I am psychic." she said smiling wickedly.

Section Eight: Death (Assen)

Vanessa and I fought fiercely and mercilessly, never taking our eyes of each other. Vanessa fought hard and anticipated my every move. It wasn't fair, if she weren't psychic, I would have beat her a long time ago. But I didn't let my thoughts distract me, for any stray ideas could distract my focus.

All around us, people were still running around and screaming for now, Flaming Pens had joined the fight. They crazily and madly with fierce and crazed expressions on their faces. They pounced onto people and shot fire in their victim's face and would then bite their hands off. Chaos ruled at this particular moment, Powers struggled to keep alive as Melting Candles burst through the volcanic vents in the ground.

Lord Vulcan still fought with Queen Nora, each had obviously wounded each other for they were both bleeding and had scratches and bruises on their faces and tears in their clothes. Kristin still fought Akira who obviously had the upper hand.

I was momentarily distracted when I heard a moan, I looked to where the moan had come from and saw that Akira had plunged both of her swords into Kristin. Kristin fell to the ground, eyes wide with shock. Akira smiled and took out both swords that were protruding from Kristin's forehead. I smiled, one Power was down.

As I turned to continue battling Va Nessa, I saw the swish of a sword and felt a razor sharp point dig into my fragile flesh. I looked to where my heart out to be and saw, unmistakably, Va Nessa's sword jutting from my body. I looked back at Va Nessa, giving her a weak smile, then without warning, I took my sword and sliced Va Nessa in half. I watched as she fell to the ground in two pieces. I took out the bulging sword from my body and cleaned it while my wound healed.

Queen Nora saw what had happened, signaled to her remaining Powers and then in a puff of smoke, she disappeared along with her cronies.

Section Nine: Interrogation (Dna)

Over the course of the next four days, Lord Vulcan made it rain fire day and night, well night actually because the sun and its rays were blocked by the thick blanket of smoke that dominated the atmosphere. He made volcanoes erupt all around the New Valley as well as all across the United States.

Newscasters called these "strange" events the Apocalypse, the End of the World, and the Final Judgment. The fools they had no idea that a simple person was behind all this. People all around the world began to worry and had started declaring war on the United States because of the Pope's recent speech:

"My dear people of the world, Christian or Catholic or Muslim or Hindu or any religion, the Apocalypse is upon us. God is punishing the United States for its sinful people. It won't be long before God brings the Apocalypse upon us. If we wish to stop the Apocalypse, I urge all national leaders to declare open war upon the United States and destroy the core of all sin. Do this is you wish to survive and postpone the Final Judgment."

The President was of course furious as were all of the American people. The entire world was against the United States. War would instigate in a few days and the American people were in a frenetic panic. And while all this pandemonium was taking place, Lord Vulcan had instructed Akira and I to interrogate Jason to weasel out the location of the headquarters of the Powers.

"Where are they?!" snarled Akira (remember that she is in fact Franchy).

"I will never tell you!" he replied bravely.

Akira slapped him with the back of her hand which left scars on his face, she was wearing a type of glove that had spikes. Jason Ai, yelled in pain, but that didn't break his spirit, he still stuck to his reply.

"Once again, where is the headquarters of the Powers?!" spat Akira.

"I won't tell you!"

I stabbed him in the thigh with a small dagger, dark red blood oozed out from the wound. He free himself of the ropes that strapped him to the chair, but it was to no avail.

"You leave us no choice then Jason." said Akira gravely. "If you don't tell us where they reside, we will kill one of your two twins." She beckoned to me to bring the twins in and I did. I disappeared for a moment and then later returned with the two boy twins, each was gagged and had ropes tied around their arms and feet. They had bruises on their face as well as dried blood. They were a mess.

"How did you get a hold of them?" asked Jason surprised.

"We have our ways." I answered.

"Now, either you tell us where the headquarters reside or we will kill one of your two twins and torture the other before your very eyes." said Akira evilly.

"No, please! Spare them!" he cried.

"Then tell us where the headquarters of the Powers are!" I roared.

He hesitated but then divulged the information we needed and more. He told us that Queen Nora was planning to Awaken the Water Lord and try to use him to destroy the Fire Lord. He also said that Queen Nora had figured out a way to bring back the dead. Akira and I, at this news, glanced uneasily at each other. This meant that Kristin and Va Nessa had survived our attack. And the final news he gave us was that Queen Nora had gone global and was recruiting new Powers from all around the world.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Jason. Lord Vulcan will be most please to hear that you aren't a lost case. Now you have two options: Remain alive and join us or return to your people and die." I said.

"I wish to return.........with my children."

"I am just curious, Jason, how old are you?"

"Sixteen."

"And your wife, Kristin?"

"Fifteen."

"And, how did you end up having twins that are five years old? I'm pretty sure you all didn't fuck at the age of eleven." I said.

He remained quiet.

"Very well, Jason. We will send Flaming Pens and Melting Candles to escort you halfway back." said Akira.

Ha! Exhilerating (I think that's how you spell it). It will be continuted in Part Three: Dark Matters and flow into the Seventh Chapter. I know it isn't much, but it is part of the story, so hey deal with it! Big thank you to everyone that has read my story and has either reviewed or sent PM to me telling me it is AWESOME! Yes, there are a lot of mysteries surrounding "The Lord of the Fire". Don't worry they will be solved...sooner...or...later. :)
