Bang Bang!
So my friends it had been a while since the last chapter and I'm sure I left you all in the suspense like a cat whose about to fall from fifty feet and seeing if it will survive. The reason why is explained in my other story for those who follow both, but for ones who don't I'll explain.
The reason was because I notice a big shift in my stories. Before T.F.T.C I only thought of zombies and W.O.T.D, but after reading Super Eds and being inspired to write a superhero fic my thoughts shift to Superheros and I kept thinking of the endless possibilities and with how far I got with W.O.T.D there was a set with many, but not endless, possibilities. But with T.F.T.C there are so many ways that could go, I even figured that this was going to take more time than W.O.T.D, but I still thinking of different ways to change the stories and alter the set that keeps changing as I write.
Like the last part in the last chapter that was completely unplanned for and I just went with it cause I knew it will be of big importance and a good twist to the story. You must understand that so much can happen with the story that will take others by surprise like the robot and there would be more so who knows how long my desire to write this will go on.
I'll find a balance some day and hopefully soon. I'm open to any suggestions either its through PM or review I suggest review as others with my plight will be interested.
Now sorry for the long explanation and lets continue with the story.

Chapter 10: Test #2 Arc Finally: Spirits and Going to School.
With the Captives. Seconds after the Five separation.
Chaos was the right word to explain what was happening in the cells. All were wondering what just happened, one second their saviors was facing some robot then the next they were all gone. Many were believing that Vladimir sent the robot to capture the Eds and Gates and that they were never going home or going to live. Others believed differently thinking that it was something else as it didn't make sense of why Vlad will send them off in different direction and what reason as he had enough time and enough reason for them to come to the school. All in all it was panic all over and there was no one spared even the kids and their parents.
Kevin and the other kids were in panic with Kevin trying to take lead and calm, at least, his friends down before things get worse.'' Come on guys I'm sure they're alright, we all seen what they can do and they could handle this one just as the other challenges.''
'' Sure their tough but we all saw that robot thing and it took them all down with no problem!'' Sarah said with the others quickly falling through.
'' It just caught them by surprise I bet if they knew what it was then they could take it down easily.'' Nazz said agreeing with Kevin.
'' But what about Eddy and Techlin, they were by far the most strongest of them and they got a few good hits before they were defeated and didn't leave as much as a scratch on it.'' Horan said countering what Kevin said.
'' It must have... I don't know...did something to weaken them...'' Kevin was losing his own reason as the kids kept giving examples of how they were defeated and how hope was probably lost. While this was happening in the kids cells, the parents were facing a different problem involving a pregnant woman.
'' Callie, Callie! Come on snap out of it!'' May said trying to get her daughter-in-law to come out of her state. Callie was still and unmoving from her position and was staring ahead without blinking. Sh was breathing fast and her eyes were dilated and lack the luster an eye should have.
'' Is she in shock?'' Jonny's mom asked as they tried to move her and she still didn't move.'' Feel her pulse.''
Lenard reached to her wrist which was hard to pry from her unmoving body buy was able to show the palm side of it and felt her wrist.'' Its weak and fast.'' He responded removing his hand.
'' Okay her eyes are dilated and she feels cold, shes in shock. Everyone give me something to keep her warm!'' Jonny's mom said.
'' Why?'' Ed's dad asked.
'' Just do what I say!'' Jonny's mom snapped scaring the men as they handed their jackets to her. Soon Callie was wrapped in five different jackets still unmoving.
'' Okay what should we do next?'' Marie asked.
'' Yell for help cause she needs help!'' Jonny's mom said. Soon the parents were shouting out of the bars for a medic to come, but the screams of the other blocked theirs out. The parents got their kids to start shouting as well, but the panic across the cells was loud and theirs was becoming louder, but still wasn't enough.
A few minutes passed to a blow horn was fired drowning out everyone yells and they all stopped yelling to cover their ears. After a minute passed the blaring sound stopped and the screen changed back to Vladimir.
'' Now you all shut up!'' Vladimir said seeming frustrated.'' I can here you all the way from my office and I need to concentrate!''
'' But we need a medic, we have a problem here!'' Eddy's dad exclaimed pointing to the still Callie.
'' Fine I'll send a medic, but shut the hell up and if I hear you all from my office then I'll release poisonous gas through the air vents!'' Vladimir said going off screen and the T.V went off.
With Vladimir.
Vladimir pressed a button disconnecting him from the prisoners as he banged his hands on the table and after doing for a few more times stopped. Vladimir was a complete wreck cause his plans was in jeopardy and it was all that robot's fault! Vladimir estimated their landing coordinates exactly and send five well armed squads to get them and when they reached the exact coordinates they said they found nothing and Vlad thought they got conscious faster than he thought and did a biotic scan of the entire island three times and he found no trace of them!
'' I'm sure the robot couldn't have made them go off the island.'' He said a few minutes ago and did a full scan of the island and the surrounding waters and still nothing. He did the pacific and still nothing he scanned the whole world through his satellite and they still was nothing. They were gone, just like that, poof as if magic.
He knew they were somewhere, but where could they possibly be. He knew Dante couldn't have built a cloaking device and even then it wouldn't be able to hide cause he would have detected an electrical current different from normal ones.
'' Where? Where? Where the hell are those Five!'' Vladimir shouted as he looked more and more. A beep came from the transmission button and pressed it.'' What!?''
'' Sir..sir we wanted to tell you of the capture of Eric Roland Stone and Ty Everfree who was found assisting Eric Roland Stone in evading us.'' The commander said scared by Vladimir yelling into the speaker.
Vladimir took slow deep breaths as he tried to get his anger under control as he had other lesser matters to deal with.'' Good when will you arrive?'' Vladimir asked a minute later.
'' My men need to rest as it was a long fight and we'll be there the day after tomorrow, don't worry sir we'll have them put in the special containment and watched twenty-four/seven. Commander Paisley out.'' The transmission ended as Vladimir was left in silence.
' At least something good happened.' Vladimir thought as he leaned back in his chair relaxing his body and mind.
' They'll turn up, I still have the reason they need to come here.' Vlad thought and closed his eyes, he decided to keep the search up via his sentinels on the island and activated the search and alarm and will tell him when they find something.
Unaware to all that the boys weren't on this plane of the universe and that one green haired woman was also missing, though everyone was too busy to notice.
With Edd 12 Hours After Attack.
Edd was sleeping peacefully, having the best dream he ever had. It was him and Marie living peacefully in a field surrounded by flowers, their small, but beautiful house in the distance. Marie herself, having grown from her young body to that of an adult woman of beauty. She was tending the flowers and was almost done. Edd himself was amazed at how fast she works especially on such a large field, she made what seems like years of work, looks like a days work. Edd was standing behind her trying to surprise her.
The kids were inside playing with their toys and they were all alone. Edd moved and grabbed her in a hug which she shriek in surprise and spinning her around.'' Stop Double D!'' Marie called out as her shriek turned to laughter.
'' I don't know, your laughing tells me other wise!'' Double D said as he continued.
'' I'm sure, I'm sure, now you stop you big bully!'' Marie said playfully as Double D slowed to a stop and put her down only to see her turn around and tackle him to the ground with her own hug.
The two busted out with laughter, but stopped as they both started to roll the down a hill. They continued to laugh as they rolled down never knowing they could have this much fun when they got older. A minute later the ride ended with both rolling to a stop with Edd landing on top of her. Marie looked up into the eyes of her lover and Edd did as well, he loved looking into those eyes that made his heart skip a beat every time he saw them, the eyes he fell for.
'' Doesn't this remind you of a certain time.'' Marie said with a smirk Edd knew all too well.
'' Why yes it does.'' Double D said moving in to kiss her, but instead of soft lips he tasted a flower and opened his eyes to see that Marie was gone. Edd quickly got to his feet and looked around seeing no sign of Marie in the field of flowers. Edd started to go up the hill at speeds that Eddy would be proud of and as soon as he got to the top he saw the house, but it was fading away. Edd ran to the house reaching out to it as he got closer and it got further, he needed to get the kids out of there before it was too late. Edd didn't know what force was behind this as he faster and faster but it seemed out of his reach, like each time he got closer the house, his main goal, got further away.
Double D tripped on his own feet and fell hard to the ground with a grunt, but got back up only to see the last of the house disappear and he heard the screams of his children as they went away from the world, his world. There was a giant hole in the ground where the house was and all Edd could do was stare at the spot.
'' No, not again! Not like on the island! Please God don't take away my happiness again, I already lost my friends and family! Please bring them back! Please!'' Edd was crying in anguish now and punching the ground in guilt and rage. He failed to save his friends from being killed by that robot and Vladimir took his down easily taking his family and the neighborhood kids, the teachers, and the students and he was only able to save one of the hundreds of people.
'' Please, please, please, please, please!'' Edd continued, not noticing the flowers on the field was also disappearing, It continued on til there was nothing but a small patch of ground underneath him with the sky black as night and the ground below as black as an abyss. Double D stopped crying as he needed to get a hold of himself and crying won't fix this, just like before. He stood up seeing the darkness that was around him.
He didn't care no more, he lost everything and had nothing to live for. So just decided to join them he took a step to the ledge and without second thoughts or hesitation he jumped into the darkness and closed his eyes, awaiting his death. His clothes fluttered in the wind as he continued his descend. This life was all he had and the time he had with Marie and the kids was his most precious time and was almost like...a...dream!
'' Hats it, this isn't real life! Meaning their still a chance! This is all a dream!'' Double D said as hope filled him and then he saw the ground as it came closer at fast speeds and he impacted.
A moment later he shot up from his sleep and shielded his eyes as a bright light filled his vision and even then he saw the light shining through the hands.'' Do not worry, the light won't hurt you.'' A familiar man voice said and Double D trusted and despite it being familiar he didn't know who the voice belong to.
He uncovered his eyes and just like the voice said the light didn't hurt and actually it was comforting. He looked around seeing the same sight he saw from his dream the other night with light everywhere with clouds that was as soft as marshmallows. And the wisps of light was everywhere. Edd felt more relaxed here than any other place in the world and leaned back his back hitting the soft feathers that was his bed and pillow.
' Feathers!?' Edd thought as he jumped up and away from the 'bed' and turned around seeing the same giant white raven from before. It chuckled at Double D's expression.
'' Tell me, are you afraid of your own Spirit Guardian?'' It asked gaining a confuse look from Double D and the 'Spirit Guardian' chuckled some more.
'' Who are you? And what is a Spirit Guardian?'' Edd asked a little on edge by the giant creature.
'' Do not worry, I couldn't hurt you even if I wanted to. Though my children will disagree. As for my name I am named by many as the God of the Sun, God of Light, or my Greek name Apollo.'' The raven said holding its head high with pride and its wing spread open.
Double D himself was left in shock as before him stood a god. He couldn't believe that they existed, he thought they were just mythology and didn't exist and was something for the Greeks to worship and explain events that were really natural occurrences.
'' I sense your doubt and you probably don't believe me, but I assure you that I and my kind are as real as you humans.'' Apollo said.
'' But what are you doing here? How can you possibly be the god that was in legends, they can't exist!'' Double D said not believe and thought this was another dream.
'' I telling you, I'm real. Just like God is real. I thought you would believe cause a week and three days ago you didn't believe in superheroes and now look at what you and your friends are doing.'' Apollo said.
'' Okay, say I do believe who you claim to be, what are you doing here and where are we?'' Double D asked still skeptical.
'' As I said I'm your Spirit Guardian, I'm your spirit inside you. Or you humans refer to it as your soul. I was sealed here by Jane to help you on your way in life.'' The white raven explained.
'' Almost like an adviser?'' Edd asked with him nodding.
'' Precisely, and yes your friends have those like me in them as well. Who is in them I do not know. For where, we are on your Soul Plain. Your Spirit is so strong it created a place separated from the rest of the universes and is based on your central beliefs and your powers.'' Apollo told him.
'' So since light is the general belief of good, does that mean that I did good things in my life?'' Double D asked highly entranced in the idea of this Soul Plain.
'' Yes, you have done many good things but also bad there aren't shown here and I advise staying here as if you do go to the dark part then you might lose your mind and go on an insane rampage and try to conquer the world.'' The god said casually.
'' But why would I have that many bad things, I don't recall having done many bad things. I'm positive that my good deeds greatly outnumber my bad deeds.'' Double D said not knowing why he had that many bad things.
'' You're not understanding the concept or the construct of the Soul Plain, sure physical and every exterior action that is good does outnumber your bad, but there is also the recording of mental and spiritual deed that is like interior conflict like the choices you decide. The way of your life is recorded here so think of it as a library, every choice or decision you make is here and can be recalled to see the same and alternate ways that you could have taken. Like how your parents not being around more that cause you some trauma especially when left alone, you feel weaken as if you only have to depend on yourself and never have anybody to help you, you experience this when that robotic took down all your friends and you were left alone. I recall you breaking down. But with your parents being gone, you became less confident in some social aspects and you were never that popular in your old or new hometown. The good side of this was that you met Ed, Eddy, Techlin, and Dante, they have been by your side for the longest and you depend on them for emotional and physical support and many times they did.'' Apollo explained in the long and detailed way that Edd likes.
'' But you said there was also alternate ways, can you show me them?'' Edd asked and the god being nodded and told him to say one moment in his life that could be changed and Edd chose if his parents were around more.
A mirror like circle appeared in front of him sending to be a whole in the very existence of this place and showed a full body reflection of him, though it wasn't him. He seemed to be younger and he knew that he was in his child years after moving to the Cul-da-Sac. He looked more confident and still wore his hat, his clothes was a more darker color of his orange shirt and a black jacket over it, and had lighter colored pants and shoes. He saw he had more muscle. He was liking this one and tested to see if he could touch, but instead it rippled like water and showed him surrounded by the neighborhood kids and they were all smiling next to him and glad to be with him and he was with Nazz hooked in his arms.
It was a school picture and he knew Ed and Eddy weren't there due to being sick with chicken pox. He touched it again and saw a moving picture and he saw that Eddy and Ed were doing a scam that was poorly planned.
' Wait I remember that scam and that failed horribly, but the design looks more poorly planned and the stand was not built well and looked like it fall immediately.' Edd thought and continued seeing Ed and Eddy setting it up, but he wasn't anywhere and last time he checked he should be there with them.
'' Come one, come all and see what life would bring you in the next twenty years!'' Eddy shouted and quickly followed with everyone gathering around and he was part of it. He didn't like where this was going.
The scam went and as usual failed and instead of him, Ed and Eddy going on the run it was only Ed and Eddy and he was leading the hunt. They quickly got to them and started beating the two Eds up and he couldn't believe that he was beating up his two best friends, he quickly pressed the mirror again and saw it ripple to show himself in the image again and it continued to display images and scenes of the adventures he had as a trio and it showed the moment Techlin and Dante came into their lives and over the two years how they changed to their own group becoming a nearly unstoppable force.
The mirror went away disappearing showing the white raven looking at him expecting a response and he quickly looked away. A few minutes passed and Edd stared back as the beast have laid unmoving except the wind blowing it feathers.
'' I understand now, I guess if my parents wasn't away I would have never been with Ed and Eddy or Techlin and Dante. If they were there I would be a jerk that I came to hate.'' Edd explained.
'' All these important decisions is suppose to teach you a lesson and what a lesson did you learn from this and this is a lesson you should know and care for cause you lived by it for a while.'' Apollo said.
'' When ever there is darkness there will always be light.'' Edd said having known that he had a bad time with his parents and that was darkness and the light was his friends.
'' Yes, but now lets worry about something else. I was told to give you the information about the Chosen Ones and how exactly all this works.'' Apollo said.
'' Who told you?'' Double D asked not knowing that a god like Apollo could be told to do something beside from his parents and Zeus.
'' Jane.'' Apollo said and continued to saying about the Chosen Ones before him.
With Techlin 12 Hours After the Attack
Tech eyes quickly opened due to the shot of intense pain through his entire body. After a few minutes it dulled to a small pain and he took notice of his surroundings. He saw the ice tress and piles of snow that was from his dream last night. The strange part though was that he was floating the air and looked over his shoulder seeing a giant tree that was also ice, but had leaves on top. He never notice this before in his dream, so why did he see it now and why was he floating next to it, plus he was only wearing boxers. Tech tried to move his arms and legs and saw that they were stuck not moving and that when the pain came back sending ripples of it through out his body, but just as quick as it came it went away.
Techlin's body was sweating and he drew in deep breaths as he tried to move his fingers and they didn't move.' Wait I don't feel my fingers.' Techlin thought in shock as he slowly looked to see his hands, somehow able to move his head and saw that instead of hands there was a stubs from half his arm, leaving his elbows and shoulders.
'' Holy shit!'' Techlin screamed out looking back in forth from both stubs, wondering how he got it. Then he remember the damn robot.
'' That piece of tin shit! He blew off my damn arms, he took away my everything!'' Techlin shouted out his words echoing across the empty land.
Techlin was more than furious with that damn robot, he was livid with fury as the tree behind him shake and glow, but was too angry to notice it.
'' The robot is dead the next time I see it! I can't use my Blade Manipulation, my Ice Manipulation, or my Chi Manipulation! I can't feel stuff with my hands, I can't touch nobody with it, I...I...can't hold Callie or my unborn child.'' Techlin was left in depression as the tree changed from bright blue to a darkening color. He was left unmoving as he thought about the times he'll miss and how he was now just a useless person.
A girly chuckle echoed around him as Tech shot up looking around seeing if this person was hostile, he was pretty much vulnerable to whatever this thing was and didn't want to know what it was capable of. The chuckled continued til it was full blown laughter and Tech was scared, then went angry.
'' Who the hell are you laughing at! Come out and face with my courage!'' Techlin shouted forgetting about his stumps.
'' Its amusing mortal, even though you have nothing to defend yourself, you still wish to fight.'' A voice coming in all directions said playfully making Techlin look around crazily as his own eyes began to glow.
'' Shut up and come out!'' Techlin shouted as the laughter began again making the tree glow and his eyes started to lose its pupils as his eyes glowed white and blue.
'' Control yourself now! Or I won't get your arms back!'' The voice said with all of her amusement replaced with a serious tone. Techlin actually stopped, feeling something from her, it was strange as the feeling felt good and bad at the same time. It made Techlin want to obey her every order without hesitation, it made him fear her. This was...her power and it was just words. He didn't want to know what she does with physical.
That was when she showed herself, riding on a chariot pulled by horses as she came down from the heavens, her chariot a spotless white with gold trimmings. The horses were also white and dad gold hooves. But what was truly amazing was the one in the chariot.
The woman that Tech heard was quite simply beautiful. Her hair was long and white and looked as smooth as silk. Her skin was slight pale, but looked just as smooth as her hair. She was wearing a white dress with black and gold trimmings displaying her beauty even further and hugged her body quite nicely. The chariot stopped in front of his floating body as the goddess looked at Techlin and when she smiled his face light up. The woman giggled at his expression as she stepped off and walked to him.
'' Well aren't you the cutest little boy. I wonder if you fit the qualifications just like she said.'' The woman said and that when Techlin's face went from embarrassed to serious as he knew he couldn't be distracted by her.
'' Who are you? And why are you here? And where am I?'' Techlin asked question after question.
'' So you are serious that's one thing that checked on the list, cute is another, and now for the next.'' The woman said.
'' Hey! Answer my questions!'' Techlin exclaimed as she clearly ignored him.
'' Your power is strong, especially without your arms showing your spirit. Plus you have noble actions.'' The woman continued as she moved around the floating boy, ignoring him as he tried to get her attention. This continued for a few minutes as she kept touching him and muttering words as if he was being prepared for some kind of experiment. After a few more minutes with Techlin remaining silent as she wouldn't listen.
'' You checked out for everything that she said you were! Its official that you would be my Knight of the Moon!'' The woman exclaim and started clapping as Techlin stared in shock at the cheerful woman.
'' Wait I didn't agree with that!'' Techlin exclaimed in shock.
'' No need, it was decided for you!'' The woman said giving a very cute smile.
'' By who, you?'' Techlin asked shocked.
'' Yep!'' The woman answered.
'' But...why should I be your knight?'' Techlin asked not liking this woman already.
'' Because I could destroy you, and I'm the only one who'll give you your arms and hands back.'' The woman said with the same sweet smile on her face.
'' You are cold.'' Techlin said.
'' Thank you!'' The woman thanked.'' Now I heard you asked questions and I'll answer them if you become my knight.''
'' You play dirty. You remind me of my friend.'' Techlin said rolling his eyes.
'' I know, but that hows the world works sweetie. Now you get to become my Knight, get your arms back, and you'll get questions answered. Just say yes and you'll get the things you want and the thing I want.'' The woman said with irritation clear in her voice.
Techlin hated to admit it, but she was right. If she did have the power to give him back his limb, then he might as well do it. At least he'll be able to do the things he did with his old ones.''Sigh'' Fine I accept your offer and will become your knight.''
'' Splendid!'' The woman exclaimed and snapped her fingers and Techlin started to scream in pain as white light encased his arms. He didn't know what it was, but it was cold, he didn't understand as he shouldn't feel cold. But this was different. It was colder than his ice, it was different. He couldn't even create this kind of cold if he tried. As it continued he started to feel again, and this time it was his hands as he crumbled them up in a fist as the white light continued.
After what seemed like eternity, his hands returned to their normal temperature and Techlin opened his eyes and looked at them seeing them as white as the woman's hair til a layer of his skin came over it making it look like they never were blown off. A second later he fell and immediately hit the ground feeling the snow, but not the cold. He stood up and looked at his hands and testing them out, seeing that they worked just like they always did.
A blade came out of his left hand showing he still have his powers, he made an ice shard appear in his right. He encased his hands with chi and he dropped the powers feeling a little winded as he couldn't use all three at once, even at a little. His clothing came back over him too, but they looked a lot more different.
He was still wearing his new pants and the shoes was the same. He still had his trench coat, but it looked more harden and was a lot more flexible. He now had a shoulder guard on his left shoulder with a crescent moon on it and below his elbow and covering his hand and forearm was a gauntlet with the it too feeling hard, but flexible. On his torso was a metal piece of knight armor black as night and hugged him tightly actually feeling like rubber instead of metal. On the chest part was another crescent moon.
'' So is this my knight armor? I thought it be more harder and heavier.'' Techlin asked examining his new addition of clothing.
'' Oh it should be, but I guess that it goes with however the wearers does in battle.'' The woman said floating to him and touching it, even giving it a punch and Techlin recoiled in pain and fell to his knees coughing not knowing she of all people could inflict so much pain. It also made a fist indention.
'' Thanks you uh ruined your own armor.'' Techlin said after regaining from the godly punch looking at his now ruined piece of armor. He made a mental picture of it disappearing for future times so that he'll forget it, but instead it actually popped back up looking like it never happened.
'' Huh it seems that you can change what you wear with a thought, try doing it naked and let me take a picture.'' The woman said.
'' In your dreams.'' Techlin said as he felt where the punch landed.'' Okay now answer my questions!''
Techlin's outburst made her jump.'' Fine, just ask. Now what are your questions?'' The woman asked giving him her full attention.
'' First off, who are you?'' Techlin started.
'' I have many names around you mortals and your diverse cultures. So you may call me...Lunar the Goddess of the Moon!'' The self-proclaimed Lunar exclaimed proudly.
'' So your a goddess? Well that explains the punch.'' Techlin muttered under his breath.'' Where are we?''
'' This wonderful winter land is your Soul Plain.'' The confusion from Techlin soon caught on to her.'' Sorry I thought you knew. A Soul Plain is a place that was formed out of the boundaries of time and space, in theory everyone in the world have a Soul Plain, but there are only a few thousand whose soul is strong enough to form a place like this. It is form the way you want to so if you want to add a house, add one.''
The goddess snapped her fingers and a house made of ice popped up, right under Techlin launching him in the air his yell becoming distant.'' Oops.'' Was all Lunar could say as she stared up at the moon lit sky.
Soon the yells of the falling boy came back to her hearing range and she saw that he was falling like a boulder and when she looked closer, she saw that he was covered with ice like a ball and as big as a boulder.'' Smart, try to soften your fall huh, well that's boring this is more fun.''
Lunar snapped her fingers and a giant slide came with the sides big enough for the ball and added twist in turns for more fun and the ride ended right next to her. The ball soon hit the start and rolled down the hill going down at faster speeds and hit the ring as it circled quickly and to the jumper. The ice boulder met the start of it as it went up and up to the top as it soon reached the top stopping at the apex that was high in the air and a sudden breeze shifted it to the falling side as it went down with fire encasing the ball as it speed through the other parts melting the ice as it went.
Soon it was coming straight for Lunar at speeds that was almost impossible for something its size. It will kill a normal person crazy and stupid enough to jump in its way, but luckily for Lunar she was a goddess and even a billion of these speeding death balls wouldn't even put a scratch on her. Just as the ball was about to hit her she held out her finger towards the speeding fire-ice ball and when it touched her finger a sounded boom came out as a ring of fire extended from the ball cutting through the ground underneath and the fires went in the air and froze leaving the fire in ice. And the ball that held the boy was shattered in a beautiful ice shard display.
The dizzy ice user was left on the ground and held his head, trying to straighten his vision, but it was hard. After a few more minutes he looked and saw the smiling Lunar.'' Wasn't that fun!?''
'' Yeah, I get the idea but this is my Soul Plain so let me do all the creating.'' Techlin said and had to admit it was fun.
'' Okay Mr. Downer.'' Lunar said.
'' Now for my last question before you kill me.'' This came with a chuckle from Lunar.'' Why are you here?''
'' Hmm nice question, well to place it normally I was spiritually sealed inside of you, I watched over you from birth to now and til you die. You see I was pretty much ordered to become sealed and I have to admit that this would have been a downer but I'm having way more fun!'' Lunar explained.
'' You know for a goddess you sure act like a child. But...who command a goddess to do something like that?'' Techlin asked wondering who held that much power.
'' Jane was her name. She was one of the Chosen Ones before you and was in fact the strongest of them. Her powers were rivaled by no others and you know that if she was so strong as to order me and my siblings to become to be sealed in you mortals, then you know she had power.'' Lunar told shocking Techlin.
'' She and the others was strong and was considered gods among men. Now let me explain somethings about the Chosen Ones and the fun things about being one!'' Lunar, just as her brother Apollo, began explaining about what the ones before them did and what special things came with being one.
With Ed 11 Hours After The Attack.
The lovable oaf known as Ed was in peace. He was floating on top of an ocean under the blue sky with a few clouds lazily passing by. Ed never knew that water could be so peaceful, maybe he should change the gravy tub in his room and try to relax.
'' I hope I don't pee in bed again.'' Ed said not really caring if he did or not. Ed wondered why this was happening to them, maybe it was due to him being stressed from this whole thing caused by Vladimir. He was hiding it from his friends and put up a front so that they wouldn't know how scared he scared he was. Ed couldn't help but think, even with their new powers, that Vladimir might be able to beat them. Sure he didn't have powers like him and the others, but he shown that just by planing he was able to kidnap so many people they would never expect it.
'' At best I thought he would just take our parents and friends.'' Ed said wondering how far Vladimir will go to accomplish his goals.
'' He has to have some trick up his sleeve that allowed him to capture so many of us,'' Ed thought aloud.'' how else is someone without powers suppose to capture us.''
Ed thought back to the papers that Double D and Dante gave them and remembered seeing that his family worked generation to generation helping out Heroes and young ones who needed a guide to a good path in life and to use their powers for good. Is all that info valid? Did his ancestors really help the heroes before them, or was it all just false? Ed eyes widen once he remembered one particular information on the paper? He said to have started his work twenty years ago! He knows how to trap heroes almost perfectly, no wonder, he captured others before him and is probably being held prisoners in the school!
'' We might be in trouble if we do face him one-on-one.'' Ed said with his thoughts running about what he might have to use against them. A power scrambler, something that absorbs their powers, or maybe something that makes them turn on each other and fight each other out. Maybe he has weapons that could knock us out, or he has super soldiers that can take down heroes, or he could force them to give up by threatening to kill everyone. More and more thoughts came from that single piece of info and his doubt of them winning increased with each thought.
'' You should have faith.'' A soft voice said.
Ed shot up in the water somehow standing up on it as well, the voice that he heard sounded like it was coming from everywhere. Ed looked all around and saw nothing but the ocean.'' Hello? Is anyone else there?''
Ed questions seemed to echo across the vast body of water and Ed received no response from the one who said it. When Ed was sure that the person or thing who said it was gone, he sat back down only to fall through the water and descend to the deep as the glow from above went away leaving him in darkness. Ed didn't know what was happening as things were moving to fast for him to comprehend and then he felt rock against his back, Ed was holding his breath and looking around as best as he could, even though it was like his eyes was closed.
'' Finally, your soul is mine!'' A dark voice said and after it was finish he felt his arms and legs being restrained, by something with claws as they dug in his skin.
Ed heard a demonic growling above him and saw white sharp teeth over him, and opened to eat his head but instead of being eaten he fell right through the rock beneath him with the one holding him gone as he fell through the rocks and another second he was through and was falling in the sky, he didn't know why he was swimming, falling through rocks, and now he was falling from the sky.
Ed heard a terrifying, very demonic, roar and turned his body to where he fell through and saw the horrible creature that was trying to get him. It had arms and legs and claws on each one, but its body was nothing more than a black mist with its head appearing to be a part of it. Its arms reached out to him extending to him, trying to get him, but strong winds push his hands away, and even cutting through some of it only for it to reconnect. The thing roared with pain, as the wind got stronger and stronger around him blowing it away from Ed as it went up and up, while he kept falling and falling!
Ed turned around just in time to see the forest he was about to crash on.'' Fuck me!'' Ed shouted as he fell through the trees, the branches cutting through his skin as he fell, but he was stopped but a giant leaf sprouting out of the tree catching him. Ed sighed with relief that it was over, but that was short lives as his weight made the leaf bend forward he slid down and more leafs sprouted guiding him down safely. Ed began to cheer as sliding down was fun! After what seems like hours of '' leaf sliding'' Ed finally reached the ground where his laughter quickly died down.
'' Awww! Is the ride over?'' Ed asked disappointed.
'' Amusing.''A voice said sounding like it was excited. It was male.(FIRE)
'' Yes he seems like a strong magic user, though he should have the other aspect.'' A smooth sounding voice said. The new one was female.(Earth)
'' He doesn't seem like a much, are you sure that he was the one that Jane sealed us in?'' A questioning voice said sounding male.(Poison)
'' I agree, from his memories he more likely to just fail.'' A deep voice said.(Wind)
'' Don't say that you know he was just using that to mask it for his friends.'' That soft voice from before.(Water)
'' Lets just get this over with.'' The next voice said lazily.(Lightning)
'' I agree.'' A female voice said quickly.(Z-P)
'' We should just let him go, maybe hes not ready.'' A sassy female voice said.(Heal)
'' Hey! I'm still here so show yourselves!'' Ed yelled getting annoyed by the voices talking about.
'' Very well.'' All the voices said and the forest scenery changed. The same scene from his dream came up with the orbs surrounding him. He was in the middle and the ground bellow was white and the top was black, the strange thing was he was not touching the white floor and was being held up by a tree vane.
'' What the... what are you guys?'' Ed asked turning to see the orbs.
'' We are your Spirit Guardians, though we are one.'' Ed was stopped in front of the purple orb.
'' So you guys were sealed by someone or something before my birth as a way to guide me on the right path. You are also the reason behind my current powers. But since I'm here that means that this must be a dimension different from my universe and that due to me being a Chosen One my spirit, or soul as to us humans, is so strong that it made a place out of time and space. I assume that in theory that everyone has one, even other Beings of Powers, but don't have the mental strength and/or power to enter it. I believe that there are those who are able to go to such a place, but it is of lesser kind and is held in the mind, not the soul.'' Ed explained hushing the orbs that were left in shock, except one.
'' See I told you all that he was hiding his smarts under his mask.'' The soft female voice said.
'' But...why are you...I thought you wouldn't show that side unless you truly trust someone.'' The sassy voice said shock.
'' Why should I lie to my Spirit Guardians, as I'm sure my friends have one as well, our Spirits are able to search through our memories and I'm positive you know everything about me.'' Ed explained his reasons.
'' Hes right, but how did you make such an accurate answer?'' The lazy voice said.
'' Simple, with my knowledge of comic books combined with the knowledge that my friend Eddward taught me I was able to think more of the our abilities harder and made multiple theories, this was a theory that I thought of and I was correct.'' Ed said calmly his expression calm.
'' Impressive for a mortal.'' The voice that questioned about his abilities said.
'' May I ask what I may call you? Actually do you have a physical form instead of orbs?'' Ed said.
'' You have to call us by our element names. Your not powerful enough to call us by our true names, but as you get stronger our names will reveal, one by one, to you. But that only happens when you gain mastery over that element to do so and for each one that will take years of training and dedication to your art.'' The one Ed identified as Healing with the sassy tone, a light green orb.
'' Interesting. Explain more of the powers, I am interested in why we, my friends, and I have three powers.'' Ed said sitting down.
'' You see there is a way for all those with powers have to follow. Those with powers have two powers with many having just one, but you, the Chosen Ones, have three. The powers are a choice in the end, there is a light and dark to the ones with two powers. As they grow stronger they may prefer to use one power over the other power and have the ultimate choice to choose one and keep that one losing everything with the other power that was not chosen. In exchange they gain a mass boost to that power making them official masters of that power and to use it to its full potential.'' Earth explained
'' There are few with that are strong enough to have an equal in both and they do become masters at using combinations of both powers, but they don't receive the power boost.'' Wind explained.
'' You are a special case, as you have three different powers. They are labeled simply with Light, Dark, and Aequalis, or Latin for balance.'' Z-P continued.
'' What are my powers and what is what?'' Ed asked.
'' You have the power over magical arts, magic is your Aequalis, but Light Magic is your light, and Dark Magic is your dark..'' Water explained.
'' I don't get it, if I have light and dark, why do I only have this book with the rune of death?'' Ed said holding the book up only for it to be torn to shreds and went up to the black ceiling. Ed was shocked at the power that he felt from the orbs as the book was torn to shreds in a mere second.
'' That sniveling snake!'' Wind exclaimed.
'' We should have known he try something like that, his attempt of absorbing Ed's soul was expected but he went too far with this one!'' Fire exclaimed.
'' What happened?'' Ed asked confused.
'' Edward the dark magic is trying to take over your soul, the one who attacked you was the Dark Magic and was one of his attempts to take over your soul. If you were to open that book and read even the weakest spells would have corrupted you giving your soul to the Dark Magic making you completely evil.'' Z-P said also sounding angry.
'' Why not just let me use Light Magic then?'' Ed asked knowing that won't corrupt his soul.
'' No! You mustn't use that either, it will not corrupt you but it will fill you with too much goodness and that is just as dangerous. You will always want to do the right thing, and when action is needed your heart will not want to fight but try to defend what you believe is right. For instance your allies must kill the enemy, but you won't believe its right and you will do anything to stop them. As the saying goes '' The more there is light the bigger the shadow is.'' Poison explained.
'' Before you to even consider to control them, you must master all of us. The magic they hold is too strong for you and instead you will die as your life energy will be drained completely.'' Healing said.
Ed nodded in agreement.'' Look we have to explain so more things to you so if your willing to listen...'' Ed nodded again and they started to explain.
Dante 13 Hours After Robotic Attack.
Dante was working on a metal workbench trying to come up with something to calm his brain. He was awake for the past hour, but when he woke up his brain was on an all time high in activity. He didn't know what was happening around him, but he needed to get the urge out of him. He just build, and build, he started building a weapon that would help him get his pellets out in his hands fast.
'' No no, this weapon should be built for all ranges. I should add a close range weapon and the pellets could be used for mid range, but what room will there be for a long range addition?'' Dante was always talking to himself or asking himself questions.
'' Wait that's it! I can build glasses with different kinds of vision installed and that will allow me to see from long distance!'' Dante gave himself a pat on the back.'' First I work on the weapon here and work on the glasses later.
Dante continued to build on the worktable at speeds faster than Eddy's mouth, and that was impressive on all standards. Though Dante was too busy with his... ''building urge'' to notice that he was in the same place as his dream and the four foxes from before standing behind him.
They have been there for the past hour just watching. They knew he wouldn't notice them due to his urge. They read his thoughts and had to admit that he was good in what he did, though they had to admit he was a pervert.
'' Do we have to do this?'' The red fox said sounding female and laid down looking around the vast field for something else to do.
'' Yes Rana, we have to. For the millionth time.'' The blue fox said sounding male.
'' Do you have to be like that Rana, I thought you would be more excited.'' The purple fox said sounding male.
'' Well you thought wrong, this guy, this disgusting little boy is nothing more than a pervert!'' Rana said with venom.
'' But he could learn, plus he is a genius. Just look at him, hes just thought of a tactical weapon that he could use in nearly any battle situation.'' The red fox.
'' Shut it, Ares! You're just saying that because mom named you after the god of war. We should have never told you that, cause you pretty much turned to violence.'' Rana said with Ares hanging his head down, sadden by her right, hurting, words.
'' Stop it, Rana you know how he is with the name.'' The blue fox said lowly so that Ares won't here him.
'' Oh be quiet, Eon! Your just as bad as Ares.'' Rana said.
'' Quiet children, he seems to be done with the first part of his invention.'' The gray fox said towering over the three smaller foxes.
Dante was indeed done as he put on a wrist bands below his glove.'' Are you serious, the time we waited for him to finish this whole time for that! I can't believe this guy! I guess you guys were wrong as he just a pervert and an idiot!'' Rana yelled out, only for a five sharp claws to come to her throat. The claws came from Dante who looked a little angry, especially with pitch dark eyes.
'' I could handle the pervert insult, but never, never, call me an idiot!'' Dante yelled back scaring the hell out of the purple fox.
'' Sorry.'' Rana meekly responded.
'' Okay.'' Dante said losing the dark color in his eyes and returning to his cheery side.'' So what are you guys and where the hell am I?'' Dante asked retracting the claws to his band.
'' Your inside your Soul Plain and we are the ones sent by your Spirit Guardian.'' The gray fox told him and when Dante actually looked, he saw that the fox towered over even him and he was just sitting.
'' Wait your those foxes that shocked me in my dreams last night! What the hell man?'' Dante asked in outrage.
'' The process of maturing through your powers is a painful process, we are sorry but it had to be done.'' The gray fox explained.'' Before you ask again we are in your Soul Plain, a place that is out of the time and space. Its created by the strength of your soul and for you to come and make a place like this you are indeed strong.''
'' Thanks, but wait you were sent by Spirit Guardian, why isn't it here?'' Dante asked.
'' Simple, you are not ready to met her.'' Eon told him.
'' Why, does she think I'm a waist of her time or something?'' Dante asked not liking this Spirit Guardian already.
'' Oh no she does want to meet you, but your not strong enough to see her.'' Rana said, looking at the ground when he looked at her.
'' What do you mean I'm not strong enough? Aren't the Spirit Guardians suppose to make direct contact with the one its guarding?'' Dante asked.
'' You see your powers, even the ones you call brothers, have balance, light and dark abilities. Others would have two or the rare possibility of just one power when they are Awaken. The one wielding the power will have a choice to use each power, but might be suited for just one and focus on using that one power over the other. After proven that they have no use of the other power, they will have a choice to continue to focus on the power and become masters at it gaining great power and control of the power. Or they would chose the other and gain the control of that, but will be inexperience at using it due to the users neglect.'' Ares explained.
'' But it is possible to gain a balance to become a person called a Power Technique Artist, able to use deadly combinations with both powers.'' Eon said
'' Okay, but where are we?'' Dante asked wondering what his electrical attacks was.
'' We are in the light side, so don't worry. The reason you can't see your Spirit Guardian is because you are not strong enough in your arts to meet her. But you are able to use a little of her power and that is one reason we are sent is to tell you to stop using that power from here on out.'' The gray fox explained shocking the boy.
'' Wait, you mean I can't use that power, well which is it?'' Dante asked really disliking his Spirit Guardian.
'' Our mistress has the power of corruption and evil and is your balance, you have the power of Darkness Mist. It does give you the power over everything dark, where other humans have received the lesser powers of Darkness, you receive it all.'' Rana explained still not looking up.
'' So why can't I use it?'' Dante asked getting annoyed with them dodging the answer.
'' We said the first time, the power of corruption and evil, you yourself experience it in the battle when you killed those Sentinels and you felt the enjoyment of killing, destroying.'' Ares told him grinning.
'' As you used it, you were being corrupted by the power and if you continue you will try to do things more evil like killing, raping, insulting, bullying and the list goes on. You already got two, I mean one, evil which is the reason for darkness being your balance.'' Rana said.
'' What evil have I done?'' Dante asked knowing it was probably nothing.
'' Don't try to fool us, we know of what you do. The parts you don't tell your friends of your adventures. We know what you are capable of, the reason you are so good at escaping traps, the reason you are considered one of the stealthiest.'' Eon said, making Dante's heart skip a beat.
'' Yes you thief. We know of your heist, thefts and the ones you did in the past and in the present.'' The gray fox said.
'' I'm trying to get rid of it.'' Dante said seriously.
'' Don't.'' The foxes said.
'' Why? Thievery is a crime! I could get in trouble if I am caught and that's one reason I'm trying to stop!'' Dante cried out.
'' Its okay foe you do so, as you never got caught cause of our mistress. She gives you that luck that you have now. Almost everything in life was given by good or bad luck. The meeting between the woman and you in the gym was luck, how could you get the woman when there were others sent to get the others and were a dozen more officers to send. Plus its in your blood, unknown to history or your entire family with the others following your tradition included, you have the blood of thieves through history flowing through your blood.'' The gray fox said.
'' Technically you were born to be a thief.'' Ares said giving him a dirty look and received a smack in the head by Eon's tail.
'' Don't mind him, he has a general dislike for thieves even our mistress.'' Eon explained.
'' Okay, I was born to steal. Now tell me how does that work?'' Dante asked.
'' We do not know, only the mistress will be able to tell you.'' The gray fox said.
'' Okay, now tell me before you said that being ''Awaken'' was painful, what is that suppose to mean?'' Dante asked.
'' The process of Awakening happens to each Being in Powers, it is the process that awakens the dormant powers in a human. You experienced the first stage of Awakening when your powers come to your body, the pain is from force change in both your physical and genetics for your body to be able to use the powers to their full potential. Your bones were made denser and your organs became stronger to be able to not be crushed from metal and your blood was changed to be able to safely conduit electricity through your body without killing yourself.'' Ares explained the first stage of his Awakening.
'' The next stage is triggered by the acceptance that you have these abilities and your resolve is strong. You will lay your life on the line for those you care and is willing to become the strongest. There is other ways, like taking the life of someone close to you or having the need to destroy your enemies. Both ways are painless as you are knocked out, but the way the person gain the next stage is by the person choice. You and your friends had went through this, just the night before.'' Rana explained.
'' The next stage, is unknown to us. But we believe that its the final stage and happens after the mastery of one or two of your powers, or three in you and the others case.'' Eon said
'' So you have no idea of the third stage and only guesses? Okay. So what are your names?'' Dante asked moving on.
'' I'm Rana, the source of your Purple Lightning.'' Rana said proudly.
'' The name is Ares the reason you have Red Lightning.'' Ares said proudly as much as Rana.
'' My name is Eon, the Blue Lightning.'' Eon said.
'' Nice to meet you all, especially Rana.'' Dante said, petting her on the head.
'' Don't treat me like a pet you idiot!'' Rana yelled out and nearly lost her life due to fear of him going to do something.
'' You know calling people idiots is not nice.'' Dante said weeping next to a tree his knees to his chest.
'' Yeah Rana, you sure know how to put a guy down.'' Ares commented looking at her with a plain look.
'' So insensitive of others feelings.'' Eon added looking at her the same.
'' You should know better.'' The gray fox said moving behind the other two foxes looking at her the same.
'' Oh my god! I'm surrounded by idiots!'' Rana said putting her paw over her nose as she lay on the ground.
'' What a meanie.''-Ares.
'' Still insensitive.''-Eon.
'' Shot down by my own daughter.''- The gray fox.
The three foxes and human were weeping with dark mist over them.''Uhhhggg!'' Rana shouted.
One long apology later...
'' Now that Rana isn't insensitive no more, we could start to explaining the ups and downs of being a Chosen One.'' The gray fox said.
'' First off you must know a little history. You see powers was not given to humans by god himself, so he created a goddess that will be able to bestow the powers, she however has chosen her champions to do so and we are her children. In order for this to happen she had to marry many men, woman and animals through the years and gave birth to us: Spirit Guardians.'' Eon started the explanation as Dante sat in front with a notepad and pen, taking notes.
With Eddy 12 hours and 45 minutes after the Attack.
Eddy was quite bored with himself. He didn't know what was more boring, his dream or that fact that he was stuck. Eddy was in a classroom full of kids that was all gray, Eddy looked to his side seeing that even the kid next to him was gray and was moving fast making after shadows. It was like one of those ''high adventures'' he saw in the movies before. All he did was sit at his desk with his head resting on his hand, tapping the desk with the other. The teacher was just talking and talking, not making any sense to the former short Ed. Then time got slower and slower as did he, his tapping become echoes in an abyss going on and on and on. Sounding just like a slow beating drum. Eddy looked around, his after shadow following him, and he saw every standing still.
'' Man this sucks.'' The flame wielder said his words echoing seconds after.
'' Tell me about.'' Eddy's eyes snapped opened and the time in his dream continued at normal speed and Eddy looked around wondering who said that, and why was it familiar?
'' Whose there?'' Eddy said standing up looking at through the gray forms of people for the person or thing that said it. It was then that Eddy took notice of the ''gray people'' more closely and saw that they were black and they looked like...sand?
'' Correct, my dear!'' The voice from before shouted as the classroom around Eddy dissolved into black sand and Eddy quickly stood up seeing the walls go into the sand ground. He quickly activated his fire, prepared to fight!
'' Oh calm down, honey! Don't you remember me?'' The voice said and Eddy looked around the darkness looking for the source of the voice. He heard a sigh, since he didn't answer the beings question and just in a second everything around him changed, with the sand going back as blue water started to rise from nowhere and Eddy backed up as before him now stood an ocean. The dark sky cleared up like and the black spots lost the color and became white with the sky turning blue. Then out of nowhere a bright white blazing sun appeared overhead and Eddy didn't feel the heat that a white sun should bring, it was then that the sun changed turning a bright blue and red as, even from his distance, the surface looked more like blue and red molten lava mixing and going around like water.
It made the place a little brighter and Eddy was finally able to see.(AN- The sun is the like the one from Mass Effect 2 behind the Illusive Man.)
Eddy was left stunned as just in a few seconds the whole place was changed.'' You like it love?'' The voice said and Eddy looked to the side seeing the snake lady from his dream, he think. Eddy couldn't help but stare at the most gorgeous woman hes ever seen in his life, though the snake bottom did put him off, only by a little.
'' Stop staring, you'll making me blush.'' The snake human hybrid said her face heating up.
'' Who...who are you?'' Eddy asked unblinking not daring to move.
'' Does this feel familiar?'' Eddy was suddenly between two soft pillows and his face heated up when he figured out what the soft pillows was. Eddy didn't care if he died right now, cause at least he died feeling like a man. Eddy was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't realize that she let him go til he fell backwards onto the black sand.
The snake woman looked at him once seeing her new friend fall backwards on his back with a dazed look.'' Are you okay?''
'' Where have you been all my life?'' Eddy asked not knowing what he said til it was too late.'' Oh um...hey you know...nice meeting ya! Um...the name's Eddy.'' Eddy awkwardly held his hand up from his position for a shake.
'' I already knew your name silly, now get up.'' The woman grabbed his hand and pulled the blushing boy up to his feet dusting him off with her tail.'' Since you introduced yourself already my name is Hestia va Vesta.''
'' Umm...well ah where are we?'' Eddy said trying to keep his other thoughts down and worry about the big picture, he was in an unfamiliar place with a woman that could possibly strangle him.
'' Well, mister I thought you knew, you see we're in your Soul Plain a place where your spirit, or soul to you humans, is so powerful that it creates a place outside of time and space. Every human has one, including people like you, but few of the them which is in the hundreds are able to come into their Soul Plain. Another name you, spiritually connected, humans call it is mind scape, thinking its a place of the mind.'' Hestia explained
'' You mean like one of those kung-fu guys in the movies?'' Eddy asked doing a karate kick, just in case she didn't know.
'' Yes from your memories I think they may have, though its highly unlikely as they focus on more of the physical aspect of Chi.'' Hestia said gaining a confused look.
'' Wait, memories? You looked through my memories?'' Eddy asked meanly feeling that his privacy was violated.
'' Yes, I did. Actually I didn't need to as I saw through your eyes and seen everything you did, and I mean everything... big boy.'' The snake woman said seductively, making the young boy blush to new temperatures as his face became like a tomato.
'' Basically I can review anything you've experienced. Everything to the pain and emotion. I can also look in your memories, even the events that you completely forgot and alter them to see different views and outcomes, though I only do the ones you forget cause I don't want to alter the memories you remember.'' Snake lady Vesta said.
'' What would happen, if you do?'' Eddy asked her looking at the sun, not needing to cover his eyes.
'' It might make you believe things that happen never happen and only you would remember that cause its your memory. For instance I could alter the memory of you meeting Eddward when you and Ed was little and make it seem like he was a girl or change his and Ed's name and erase their names from each of your memory and replace it with that name.'' Hestia explained to the speeder.
'' Good thing your good huh?'' Eddy chuckled wondering what would happen if she was evil.
'' Good thing my son didn't get you or you probably be dead, well spiritually I mean.'' Hestia making Eddy turn to her.
'' What do you mean dead and son?'' Eddy asked.
'' Well my son is the Fire Snake you met in your dream last night, though that should have been my daughter as well, but hes as powerful as he is evil, he must have stopped her somehow. Luckily you were able to hold his off, just in time for the Awakening stage to be complete. Hes also the ones who caused you to go off on your friends.'' Hestia explained.
'' You mean hes the bastard that made me do that? Whats his problem?'' Eddy exclaimed.
'' Hey, hes still my son so back off! Oh sorry, hes just evil basically. He tried to control your soul last night, but fail due to me and tried again by flaring your temper, if your friend hadn't knocked you in the air and barely conscious then my son would have probably succeeded and that would be bad.'' Hestia said.
'' Well is that woman I saw your daughter or something, cause she sounded nice?'' Eddy asked.
'' Yes she is, though don't expect the same treatment, its just as bad despite her being your light. Now the other question, I meant that you would die, though spiritually as you personality and all will be killed, killing you spiritually, temporally making your body a husk then my son will slither in your soul having me and my daughter expelled from your body and do as he wished it.'' Ms. Vesta explained.
'' What would he do?'' The fire boy asked
'' Probably something pure evil, who knows we grew distant after he came of age at sixteen-thousand.'' Hestia told him.
'' How old are you?'' Eddy asked.
'' Its rude to ask a woman her age.'' Hestia explained laughing a little after.
'' Of course, but whats up with the sun or is that the sun?'' Eddy wondered.
'' Its my own little creation, you see how it moves like water? That is actually blue and red lava and the home world of my children.'' Hestia explained slightly sad.
'' Why you sound sad?'' Eddy asked looking over to her seeing her ''sitting''. Well he thought it was sitting with her sitting on the her tail with it going around in front, as she stared at the sun thing. Eddy sat next to her on the black sand staring.
'' Because I can't visit them.'' Hestia the snake hybrid said.
'' Why?'' Eddy asked looking over and Hestia looking back from the corner of her eye. She sighed and got back up her tail going behind her.
'' Its not important, my job as your Spirit Guardian comes first and I must explain somethings to you, about what you and your friends are.'' Hestia turned fully to Eddy, who looked a little worried at her.
'' You see, you and your friends aren't normal. Not in normal society terms, but in the fact of your kind, the ones with abilities like yours. You have three powers where normal ones have two or one powers. You also have us Spirit Guardians and we are advisers helping you a long the way as your powers develop. You also gain a level of power untapped to others.'' Hestia explained slithering along the beach with Eddy by her side.
'' Before you, there were two different Chosen Ones, you all had the same goals and you had the same destinies, but they all ended far to quickly. The evil that can't be stopped. The danger that will come to you in the years to come will be grave, but one question remains.'' Hestia stopped and turned to Eddy.'' Will you and your companions succeed in defeating the evil or would you fall as the others did?''
With Edd/Double D.
Double D was sitting on the cloud with rapt attention as he listened to Apollo explaining about the Chosen Ones.
First he explained history of how they became, their mom which is a goddess made by God himself is the Goddess of Power, able to bestow the power of the elements and abilities to humans who are worthy, there are many who were worthy numbering in hundreds and the goddess didn't want this. So for the first few centuries of the humans, there were no one with powers and the goddess have slept with many men, women and animals given birth to them: Spirit Guardians she didn't want the power to herself and gave the ability that she was allowed to her children and this caused a war that whipped out the human race. This was caused by conflict of mixed belief.
There was three sides: The Saviors, The Peacemakers, and The Destroyers. The Saviors thought the ones of powers were gods themselves and sought peace, the Destroyer wanted supreme rule over everything and bonded with the Spirit Guardians that wanted the same thing, the Peacemakers wanted the fighting to stop and for all to live in harmony and mainly considered of humans and few Spirit Guardians. The Saviors and Destroyers were already at conflict with humans and Spirit Guardians fighting day after day with casualties for both humans and Spirit Guardians. Apollo stopped to explain that immortals can only be killed by immortals and since all Spirit Guardians were immortal he didn't need to explain more, mortals even the ones with powers couldn't kill them if they weren't strong enough that is.
The Peacemakers didn't fight til later in the war with the Destroyer getting aggravated that they didn't join them as they weren't joining the others and the Destroyers killed them off with the Saviors being too late to help. The war continued for a month til it all ended. It just ended. The next day was no fighting as there was no where to fight and the world was overheated about to blow from the inside, the sides stopped as many of the Spirit Guardians were dead and the humans was completely whipped out leaving a less than fifteen of the eight hundred Spirit Guardians and they were wounded as well, the Spirit Guardians that sided with the Peacemakers were only two of the ten that were with them.
The earth was scorched and dieing, but the survivors were able to only cool down the core to normal temperature, but the land was still burning and scared. Apollo told Double D that one of the survivors is the one that was his balance and his father, he didn't have much info on the war besides that God left it as a reminder to the Spirits of what will happen if this happens again, in the process inventing the Multiverse. The survivors were some of each side and God and goddess was sent to the earth, but he didn't put them on the world as he wanted this Earth to be perfect. He created Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden and that's how their world began, with knowledge of the previous humans erased from history. The war itself was called the Spirit War or the War That Was Never Won.
The Goddess was punished with being forever infertile, she may mate with other humans and animals, but can never have children as there was no chance of war. She was able to make sure that others got pregnant, but there children wasn't born from her so they couldn't have powers, they were normal, her gift was gone. But her children were different, they still have ability to bestow powers and they did have more children, but kept them under control and supervised them of their powers to prevent another Spirit War.
The Spirits were able to change themselves to animals and blend in to the animal kingdom as normal animals. Life continued on for humans and Apollo said that he'll have to ask his other Spirit Guardians of what happened as he is a New Born and hasn't been around to hear others and was only told stories of this from his parents.
He went on to explain about the Awakening stage and how each step progressively made the person stronger, but he also explained the special case of their powers as they had three powers. The process was a surprise, but what Double D couldn't find amazing that his theories were correct in each way, how they got the kind of powers, the reason for the pain, everything. It added pride that he was able to figure it out and proven right.
Apollo explained the last process more in depth and how their third power over comes the rule of choosing one power over the other and adds the ability of both. When they reached mastery level they get the boost to each power no matter which one they master first, second, or last. The bird spirit explained that he may be able to mix his powers together as he could go invisible and attack up close with the force fields, and go back and deal damage from afar and go invisible again all in a few seconds.
He told his that Light Manipulation was his Light, Invisibility was his Dark, and the Force Fields was his Aequalis, or balance. When Double D asked about the Force Fields being a container for a greater power, Apollo couldn't say a word til he was ready and Double D didn't press further due to the seriousness.
Apollo went on about the Soul Plain and how he could change it to what he liked and to suit his needs if he wanted. Even Apollo has influence in the physical change of his Soul Plain. He also explained that time was slowed by half here, he was out for twenty-fours in the Soul Plain, but in the real world it was twelve hours.
Apollo gave insight to his weapons saying that the weapon was his spiritual weapon and linked to his soul, growing stronger as he did. The god explained that as he grew stronger the bow will get larger and stronger and the arrows would not be light, but instead arrows that form from light with a define shape and form that could be formed by his, or another source of light and since he could create light it was easy enough to say that he might have unlimited amounts of arrows, but he must become stronger as arrows does take energy, but very little of it and with training can cost little to none of his power.
Now they were discussing some final matters and Edd was listening intently.'' Now are you ready for this type of info, as this is one that may shock you, but it is mandatory of almost all Chosen Ones to do so and it can't be avoided.'' Apollo informed actually feeling a little giddy at how he might take the info.
'' I'm ready, though I must say that this experience was great! I learned so much and more, if I could I like to write it down to make it into a fictional story of the war that took place billions of years ago!'' Edd said with Apollo nodding, seeing no harm with the story being, and theoretically, fiction
'' Okay this subject is about...marriage.'' Apollo said gaining shock from Edd who looked ahead with the expression stuck on his face. Apollo was right this will be fun.
With Techlin
Techlin couldn't believe that someone so child like could no so much stuff, he learned a lot of an event that happened on a different plain of the universe which is the Multiverse. The Spirit War was truly an event that Techlin was glad didn't happen to the war. Though he wondered if a similar even could happen between the Heroes, or Saviors as they were dubbed after the war, and the Villains, who were called Destroyers. This Earth was plague by war, hell Tech believed that this humanity was built on it, he actually wondered that will the fictional, and highly feared, World War III would actually happen.
But he couldn't dwell on it as Lunar continued to explain more of their benefits, she explained the steps of Awakening one's powers and the staged, them having third powers override the choice of choosing powers. She explained the Light, Dark and Balance, or Aequalis, of the powers. He told her he knew and said that Ice Manipulation was his Light, Chi his Aequalis, and Blade his Dark, surprisingly he was right.
She told his about the Soul Plain changing to his needs and that she, obviously, had some control of the Soul Plain as well with her ride for him being a prime example.
Now she was talking about weapons til he stopped her.
'' Wait, wait, wait, wait...why are talking about weapons, I already have a weapon! My power over blades is quite the weapon.'' Techlin said with an irritating look from Lunar.
'' You are really dense, look at your gauntlet and tell me if that's not a weapon.'' Lunar said pointing to said armor and Tech raised his left arm looking at it, not seeing nothing til a shield popped out, it was white and glowing, the round shield was decorated with gold trimmings like waves on the edges and elegant designs of two wolves, black and white, starting from the bottom going around the shield and meeting in the middle where they were entangled in a fierce fight. It looked like a yin-yang to him. Then the shield disappeared back into his gauntlet making it glow white and then back to black.
'' What the fuck was that?'' Techlin asked holding out his gauntlet.
'' That was your shield, due to your noble intentions of always wanted to protect someone I gave you a shield. It was a gift for me, and don't worry you'll be able to dual wield with the shield in your hand. It grows stronger as you do and it might grow in size as it does become almost ten times stronger than a diamond, you might be able to make it grow at will to cover a larger area but for that to happen you must become stronger. And that was what the weapon talk was about and now we can do the final talk.'' Lunar explained with a smug look.
'' Alright you got me once.'' Techlin said with Lunar still looking smug.
'' Oh...now this final thing is something that may have a problem with, but its mandatory for the Chosen Ones to follow, more specifically the males. Also don't try to get mad, but stay cool. Can you do that?'' Lunar asked the smiling on her face not leaving for a second.
'' I promise I'm sure that this thing won't be a problem at all, besides I'm being forced to do a lot of things lately.'' Techlin sighed, first having to save people, then agreeing to be the Knight of the Moon Goddess, and now this whatever it is.
'' Okay, I'm going to explain about...wait for it...marriage!'' Lunar explained with Techlin shock face wondering what hell he stepped into.
With Edward our magical friend.
Ed was highly interested in the war, what he wasn't surprise was of the multiverse. There was always something that made him think that everything was there for a reasons, he just never knew that something like that could happen, hopefully it would never happen again and he'll make sure of that. The world, his world, was plague by war and if they were ever revealed that war might happen. Was that the danger that the woman told them, was it to prevent another Spirit War.
Ed couldn't think more on it, as the Elements explained more on their abilities. They explained the steps of Awakening, the ability to changed the Soul Plain, but they suggest not to change it just yet.
They went on about explaining the weapons and how his books would change as he grew stronger, they would not look like a hard book, but will change to leather and be more flexible and Ed had got an idea that he wanted to know will work.
'' Okay, now what if I was able to memorize every spell that I could learn from the books and engrave a rune on some kind of item that would allow me to control that element and I can perform the spells without the books and still have control of elements.'' Ed theory was surprising to the others and for once they had to think about it. After a few minutes the Elements spoke.
'' It...it has never been done before.'' Poison said.
'' Yes if you do, then it is an improvement in the magical arts, but its almost impossible.'' Z-P explained.
'' Plus there is the factor of remembering the spells, in each book there are hundreds of spells how can you possibly remember that?'' Wind the key factor in his plan.
'' Well...is it possible for you to get me an ability that is required for it?'' Ed asked nervously.
'' And what is that, hmm? The power to remember everything, picture perfect memory?'' Lightning asked and the nervous smile on his face broaden a little. A few minutes later the Elements sighed at once.
'' We...we can do that, but you...(sigh)you must, and we mean must, be able to master to master at least six of us, it will take time but the time it might for you the master the spells and by that time we should be ready to give it to you, but you must work hard for it.'' Earth explained.
'' Okay!'' Ed excitedly exclaimed.
'' Yes, yes yippee for you. Now lets talk about one last thing, and please don't react too much.'' Fire said.
'' There is one thing that each male Chosen One must face and this for boys your age might seem like much. It might be a curse, or a blessing. Now the subject we're going to explain is...marriage.'' Ed was left speechless as his cheeks glow a cheery color.
With Dante
'' This is one type of experience, I tell you all that much, I'm a genius I'm sure of that, but this info is just mind blowing.'' Dante said finishing the notes of the info he got.
'' Yes, how our kind came is tragic, but great in the end.'' The gray fox told him.
'' Yes it is, I'm amazed the theory of multiple universes is actually real, more importantly the thing that made it was God himself. Wait, he created the multiverse. He created the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve, he created everything! He knows everything.'' Dante's voice fell to a whisper as the wolves couldn't hear what he was saying as he talked to himself, they didn't want to read his thoughts due to him seeming to focus on this harder than anything before.
'' That's it!'' Dante's shout made them jump from surprise.'' Okay stay with me on this one, if God created everything in the world that we all know that is true, then that must mean that there are more places, more universes! God must have saw some benefits for the perfect world by creating multiple universes. Meaning that he must have created other universes as to see how each earth will fare in the time, meaning that somewhere else in the multiple universes at this same time and date is another us, or maybe something else completely different. God created the greatest scientific theories that ever existed!'' Dante's voice projected excitement on levels no one had seen him on.
'' Wait, he created science as well, meaning that it might be some kind of religion of logic, he didn't want everyone believing in him as he wanted them to have a choice and science was a religion that he made for the purpose of choice between him and logic of his creations! Its official I'm a genius!'' Dante said excitedly.
As the lightning boy celebrated the foxes just sat there shocked at his analysis of just some part of history.'' Truly this boy is something.'' Ares commented.
'' Yes he is, hes smart and made a theory that could change the face of the earth.'' Eon added.
'' Only if someone believes him, no offense but people would think of it as idiotic and not a real theory. Its the choice of belief and non-belief, he just made a mix of both God and Logic of humans, no one but him might believe it. His friends might, if he explains more.'' Rana said and looked to see Dante stop and listen to her and wasn't weeping so wasn't the others.
'' Interesting, well then I'll try and make them believe it.'' Dante said with determination laced in his words.
'' Yes, yes we can discuss this later, but now we must discuss something that will make you happy or mad.'' The gray fox said.
'' I say hes going to faint.'' Ares whispered to Eon.
'' The thing we must discuss about is...about marriage.'' The gray fox said and Dante instantly fainted.
'' Told ya!'' Ares shouted as Dante's world went dark.
With Eddy.
Eddy was still walking next to Hestia, listening to her words as she spoke. Eddy had to admit that it was nice seeing the ocean, hearing it too was relaxing. Hestia told him a lot of history and instead of being bored he actually enjoyed it, though he wondered what would happen to their world. Hestia explained that after the war that the Spirit Guardians changed to animals and blended into the world, but many have been captured and sealed into special objects that are lost and their locations unknown. There were few that were sealed in humans like them, but probably isn't aware of it.
The snake woman went on about the process of Awakening and the label of their powers and how their third power allowed them to override the choice of choosing and balancing, though she recommend that to keep in balance of her powers as a way to have some reliability on the other.
She told his that he knew of his powers, with sand being his Aequalis, Fire his Dark and Wind his Light. He couldn't help but stop her and corrected her on the fact that Speed was his Light.
'' Oh no, you see you are fast and wind is basically the fastest element of them all, reaching speeds past even the sound barrier multiples times over. When you run your using wind at your feet and speed is a way of creating wind, so basically your body is more faster as wind is something that could never be stopped. Even when its hitting a rock, it still moves it or cut through the rock, it slices through water, it tangles with Lightning, and can put out fires plus making it stronger. No matter what wind will keep going forever at speed unimaginable. Your bones are hollow with wind going through them even now, your organs are also faster to keep up with your speeding body.'' Hestia explained and Eddy just said okay, not liking lectures and speeches.
'' Another thing is that you digest food more quickly so you might feel hungrier more quicker.'' Hestia added.
She told him that the weapons that he hold could be changed if he was strong enough. The more he became stronger the sharper and the stronger his weapons will be and could change only in size.
The two continued to walk on the endless beach and Hestia stopped sitting back down again and stared at her hands. Eddy sat back down too, wondering what was wrong with her.
'' Okay I explained everything I could tell you, but one thing.'' Hestia looked away from her hands and too Eddy her face as serious as she was beautiful.
'' What is it? Am I going to die or something? Grave danger? The ability to see in the future?'' Eddy guessed and Hestia va Vesta held up her hand to stop him.
'' No, no, but I guess they are good guesses. No what I'm talking about is mandatory for the male Chosen Ones and can't be avoided ever. The subject I'm talking about is...marriage.''
Back with the Light Wielder.
'' M-m-m-m-m-m-marriage?! What does this have to do with being Chosen Ones, I'm too young to be...oh Techlin now I remember. Still I already have someone in mind, but we're still too young and probably can't get married just yet I think.'' Double D said with his cheeks glowing a little.
'' Don't worry Eddward, you're still able to marry Marie, but you mustn't stop there.'' Apollo said.
'' What do you mean? I should stick to just one spouse.'' Edd said.
'' Yes, but you feel it don't?'' Apollo asked and Edd shook his head in disagreement.
'' No, should I feel something?'' The Savior of Light asked.
'' Yes you may not feel it now, but you'll feel the need to have more mates in time, you'll have need and it must happen. You and your friends will have to have multiple mates, or wives to you humans.'' Apollo said and Double D was left in silence at the info. Apollo felt a push on his side and looked to the east seeing an invisible force in the distance pushing aside the clouds.
'' You'll have time to discuss this with your friends, together you guys can come up with a solution for this as you all did with other things. I'm sending you back to your world we have hold you here too long.
The wisp of light came to Ed and started to circle around the boy. Before he could say a word the wisp gained speed and took the boy away.
With the Savior of Blades.
'' But...I'm already married, whats the point of talking of marriage? Is something going to happen to Callie?'' Techlin asked alarmed.
'' No, well it might, but remember that this is mandatory. As you may not have known, but you may be attracted to other females.'' Lunar said.
'' But I love Callie, why would I think of others?'' Techlin asked wondering where she was getting at.
'' You'll love her just as much, but you'll still have the need to want to be with other woman.'' Lunar said.
'' But why?'' Techlin asked.
'' Its in your blood basically, I can't explain more now but you will have the need to be with other woman and you can't fight it, the last Chosen One who fought the urge nearly went insane, so please don't fight it.'' Lunar almost sounded like she was pleading, and Techlin fell to the ground in shock grabbing his head. Lunar went around him and put her hands on his shoulders.'' Hey sweetie, its alright I know it sound unfair and unjust but maybe if you talk to Callie about this you might be able to decided if its alright.''
'' She won't understand, what if...what if...she decides to leave me for what I am...for what I have to do?'' Techlin looked over his shoulder to her seeing her gentle eyes that had so much warmth, she actually cared.
'' Techlin, I don't know the answer to that, but shes in danger and when you do rescue her, you'll always be her Knight in Shining Armor. She might not understand, but she can try and be there for you.'' The goddess said trying to lift his spirits up, she moved her hands over his chest and pulled him into her.
'' Everything is going be okay, just trust me.'' Lunar told the boy.
'' I hope so Lunar, I really hope so.'' Techlin said allowing himself to be engulf in her, surprisingly warm body. Lunar suddenly felt a pulse of energy coming from the moon and looked up seeing the sky's stars twinkle.
''(Sigh) Look Techlin, your time here is done, I have to send you back to your world.'' Lunar explained.
'' Will I be able to come back?'' Techlin asked after a few moments of silence, looking down
'' Yes, we'll stay in touch.'' Lunar said as she made a white ice appear around his body turning him frozen and dissolved into the air taking the boy with him.
With Ed the Rune Elemental.
Ed couldn't move, he didn't dare to. His cheeks were getting hotter and hotter and hotter, he wondered if his cheeks were white in color. He was told something that he wasn't even old enough to do, but then he remembered Techlin and Dante's family tradition, or their family tradition. He guess it was all right, he and the others were fifteen, well Dante was fourteen, but he wondered what they were doing with this info.
'' Ed, Ed dear? Are you okay?'' Healing asked, the orbs were worried cause the boy was unmoving and was growing hotter. To snap him back, Wind slapped him with a strong gust of wind making the boy stumble om the floor that sprouted from his seat not wanting him to even touch the white floor.
'' I'm awake mommy!'' Ed shouted and remembered where he was.'' Okay, now why are we talking about marriage, didn't Techlin already tell us of the tradition we were following.''
'' No, not that one its the fact of marrying multiple woman. But don't worry its all for a good reason!'' Z-P said quickly before he froze, but for what reasons was they allowing the practice of polygamy.
'' But why, and I can't say that if we follow we're breaking the law as marrying more than one woman isn't legal in the U.S.'' Ed said.
'' We know, that's why your doing it in secret don't worry it'll be fine and we can make up some reason for you having more than one wife.'' Lightning said.
'' But...''
'' No buts its mandatory and you must do it.'' Poison said with authority.
'' No I'll do it, but I just want to know the reason why we have to do it.'' Ed clarified.
'' Oh well the reason is because of something that will happen along the way, but for the basic its for your abilities passing on to the children that you'll have. The children powers will vary, but they will be born with abilities like yours. The reason for multiple is because of your seed having one in a hundred chances of making a baby born so the process will allow you and the others to have more chances as to have the babies born with powers, don't you see?'' Earth asked.
'' Yeah I do. Its for the purpose of having children with powers and increasing the chances.'' Ed said sounding a little depressed and when they read his thoughts they wanted to clear the air.
'' Don't worry Ed you don't have to just do it for the sex, but you could develop your relationship with them like any other normal human love.'' Healing explained.
'' Weawy?'' Ed asked like a child
'' Yes, weawy.'' Water told him with the males and Z-P sighing at the interaction.
'' Now Ed its time for you go, you and your friends will return to the area where you landed from the fight with the robotic.''
Before Ed could say anything a white glow consumed his being.
'' Remember what we told you.'' The orbs told the boy.
With Dante the Genius.
'' I'm the most happiest boy alive!'' Dante shouted to the heaven and dancing with Rana on her hinds legs both of them twirling around. Rana didn't know why he just got her and started dancing, why not Eon or Ares?
The three foxes not dancing was watching in amusement as the human and Spirit danced. After being able to waken the boy up and explained the reason for the marriage and instead of fainting he started dancing and celebrating making the area into a party with bloons tied to trees he made and with cake and confetti raining from the sky as fireworks went off. It was just a few minutes that he took hold of Rana and started dancing.
'' I wonder why she didn't just turn into her human form and dance instead of dancing like an idiot.'' Eon commented and Ares shook his head.
The gray fox felt a pulse of dark energy and looked to the west seeing the dark storm as lightning of all colors dazzled the sky. He looked to Dante and instantly the bloons, cake, confetti, and Dante's fun ended as it all went away leaving the trees behind.
'' What, what hell guys why ruin the fun?'' Dante whined
'' Its time for you go Dante. We have other matters to tend to and we can't have you here.'' The gray fox said.
'' What why?'' The teen genius asked.
'' Its personal, now come on you must go.'' The gray fox said moving next to Dante.
'' Okay, well see you guys later.'' Dante waved to them as white lightning shot down from the sky hitting the boy and was gone taking him as well.
With the Wielder of Sand.
'' Please tell me that again?'' Eddy asked with his shock expression still on.
'' Well I don't want to you already know what the marriages is about, you must marry at least three females for it to work.'' Hestia explained a little annoyed.
'' I get it, I get it, its just that you said at least three women, whats the limit?'' Eddy asked.
'' I don't know, the last Chosen One male was the one before you and had my son as his balance, but my son said that he had a total of ten wives and didn't go past there so that's must be the limit, no less than three no more than ten I guess.'' Hestia shrugged.
Eddy was still, his brain, his thoughts, his life seemed to stand still. Eddy had just one thought in his head and it was a question.' Did I die and is this heaven?' This single thought made Eddy's heart beat go up in a rapid pace and started to beat at speeds over sixty and actually was.
'' Eddy, Eddy, are you there. Soul Plain to Eddy come in.'' Hestia said knocking on his head and seeing him not moving. She wondered if the info was too much for his brain.
WOOOHOOOO!'' Eddy shouted making the snake woman jump in fright at his shout, suddenly Eddy took her hands making the woman blush as she was flung around her shrieks of surprise turning into laughter.''Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha!'' Eddy sung as he and Hestia danced on the beach.
'' What are you doing?'' Hestia asked still laughing.
'' I'm celebrating, I'm the happiest person alive!'' Eddy said stopping and spinning her around til she was in his arms with her looking at him with loving eyes, she closed her eyes and made for a kiss. Eddy soon realized too quickly of what position they was in and put her back up making the woman open her eyes seeing Eddy looking at her with a blush and quickly turned away.
' I was so close!' Hestia thought but fixed herself not wanting to seem desperate despite going for a million years without sex and wanting it with a boy the smallest fraction of her age.
'' Well um.. is that it?'' Asked Eddy with a nervous smile
'' Yes it is and...'' Hestia was stopped when the sand under shifted and saw the whole beach started to slowly shift on the surface.''...and its time for you to depart the Soul Plain to your world.''
'' What?'' Eddy asked surprised.
'' Yes Eddy, you must go you still have duties to do.'' Hestia said as she snapper her fingers and white fire circled around him.
'' Will I be able to come back?'' Eddy asked as the fire rose and took hold of his body.
'' Of course silly, its your Soul Plain.'' The boy heard as the fire rose to the air and dissipated into thin air taking Eddy with it. Hestia smiled a little wondering if he like the other gift she gave him.
Back on the Island. 12:53 A.M
A white glow appeared in the forest making long shadows of the trees surrounding it, as the white glow came down it started to form a human shape and its feet touched the ground as the light vanished leaving the human in the dark.
'' Ignis: Fireball.'' A voice said as a fireball appeared in his hand showing him his surrounding area. Ed put the book on the belt and was about to go and find his friends until he felt...something. Ed never felt this before and looked around him for the source, he felt another pulse of the...energy? He looked down seeing that something was glowing under his jacket, he moved it away to see his books glowing and the Death book gone.
Ed grabbed the healing book and opened it and, as if it had a mind of its own flipped through the blank pages til it stopped on the fifth page with a green glowing words on top of the page and Ed read it in his head. Ed saw the light go and Ed noticed it was there in print. Ed realized that it was a new spell, he quickly checked the other books seeing that it was all new spells added to his books, but he saw it was only one spell for each.
' So the more I get the stronger, the more spells will be added to my books, now that I think about it they said that my life essence will run out. Do they man mana, chakra? Will I be able to wield just pure magic?' Ed's thoughts continued with the question until he felt himself become a little winded.
Ed looked to the fire ball that's been on for the past few minutes, he was using his reserves to fuel the fire meaning the more he added, the fireball grew in size and heat, the more stronger the spell. Then he felt the energy coming out more quickly as he became tired, and the more of his energy the spell will take.
Ed closed his hands and the fireball went out leaving him in the dark and Ed felt something was filling him, like he was slowly gaining his energy back. Ed walked to a tree and started to climb it reaching to the top on a sturdy branch strong enough to hold him. He saw that it was night and was past midnight as the moon wasn't at the apex of its orbit.
'' There no clouds or anything blocking the moon light.'' Ed noted as the moon gave enough light for him to see. If his memory was right the robotic that attacked him and his friends kicked him southeast to where they was before they came off the mountain.
Ed looked around and saw a cliff's edge and jumped from tree to tree to the spot and saw that he was at the spot they were yesterday, he looked down the cliff and saw that the robots was still there and the chunk of the cliff was still on the ground. All he had to do now was head down the same path and he should meet up with someone or something. Ed jumped and went down below using the wind spell to carry him down and landed safely. Ed looked around, only hearing the night time critters and seeing no one, or thing. Ed looked to one of the sentinels that was destroyed and the bits and pieces were around it as it lay against the cliff wall.
Ed approached the organic and synthetic being seeing it surprisingly well intact til he saw that there was a huge rock shard piercing its heart and machine part. It was a male, white with brown hair, and his exposed torso was well muscled.' Its like Vladimir trained them to the best of their abilities to work with both organic and machinery parts.'
Ed saw the bottom half and saw that it was all machine with the spider like legs broken. Ed was no Dante, and couldn't for the life of him figure it out. He made a reach for it, going to take it off for Dante to examine.
Ed reached carefully not knowing what it was fully capable of even if the thing was killed. He carefully put his shaking hand on it and when he felt cold metal he pulled back expecting it come back to life. When it didn't Ed put both his hands on it feeling the ice cold metal, he grabbed hold of the rock and pulled it out with sparks flying, shocking him and he hissed in pain but sucked it up throwing the rock behind him and saw the large hole in it. It probably was still in good shape. Ed saw screws between the bottom torso and the machine part and started to take it apart, one screw at a time.
North of the island.
A cylinder of fire appeared over the forest and quickly hit the ground with a sounding boom echoing around the quite area. The cylinder still swirled in its shape and started to disappear from bottom to top and just as quickly as it came, it disappeared leaving the moonlight area, revealing a teenage boy wearing a 1920s suit with fedora with a white stripe.
The boy looked up, his white eyes examining the area before him. He saw that it was a small field surrounded by trees and that it was thick enough for him not see past the first few trees. The ground where he stood was scorched by the fire and the smell wafted in the air for anyone close to smell the charred dirt.
Eddy couldn't keep the grin from spreading across his face, he still remembered everything and since it was remembered, it wasn't a dream.
'' Yeah baby, I wonder who I should marry first?'' Eddy asked licking his lips. A thought then ran in his head from before, he didn't know why but it was from a year or so ago when he was talking to Tech about girls and marrying the hottest teacher in the school which was Techlin's blade class mentor and he gave him advice that he never thought of following.
Flashback One Year Ago
Eddy and Techlin were in Eddy's house coming up with a new scam in the living room, the others were out to get somethings. Well Techlin was thinking of the scam and Eddy was preoccupied with another thought.
'' Eddy, Eddy! Snap of it man, we need to think of this scam.'' Techlin said snapping his fingers in his face, stopping his writing on a sheet of paper.
'' Sorry I'm just thinking of our new teacher.'' Eddy said with daydream face and a perverted grin.
'' The Kenjutsu teacher?'' Techlin asked.
'' The what?'' Eddy stared strangely at Tech.
'' The method, or technique, of the sword.'' Tech explained
'' Uh...huh enough Asian we call it Blade Teaching.'' Eddy smartly remarked.
'' Whatever so what about Ms. Hana?'' Techlin asked continuing to write on the paper.
'' Shes hot dude! I would love to just get five minutes with her! You lucky bastard getting her all to yourself.'' Eddy said with a mild glare.
'' Trust me Eddy, I seen beauty that can't even compare to her.'' Techlin said with a small blush that Eddy didn't quite see.
'' Yeah right! Man I wish I can marry her. I should asked my dad on tips on marriage he seems to be doing well with mom.'' Eddy said. Techlin though stopped completely in his writing and looked to Eddy with a serious stare.
'' Eddy listen closely, I heard from a...source that if you want to marry someone, then the connection between the love ones must be strong. So if you find a girlfriend make sure you love her always, you never know if that love will last a lifetime. Though you don't stand a chance in winning her.'' Techlin said and the game of cat and mouse ensued with Techlin laughing while Eddy chased him with a rusty ladle all through out the house and the scam failed due to Eddy and Techlin fighting.
Flashback Sequence: Status: Over and Out.
Those words ran through his head over and over again. 'It was a year ago, so was Tech talking about his married life or just saying words?' Thought Eddy cupping his chin in a thinking pose.
'' Who gives a fuck I'm still happy! I'll ask him later!'' Eddy exclaimed and jumped to the trees to top standing straight on the point, seeing across the forest spread before him, it was then that Ed saw, in the far distance a faint white glow and he saw it spread like...lightning! Dante was over there!
'' At least I have someone who can give some directions.'' Eddy said knowing he'll get lost, but he'll never admit it to anyone.
Eddy jumped down landing on a branch and started to jump from branches heading the direction of the glow at quick speeds.
With Dante
White lightning danced across the forest at speeds quicker than anything and as soon as it was there it was gone leaving one lone boy behind in the trees.'' At least I'm, and possibly the others, are still on the island and not somewhere else in the world.'' Dante whispered making a blue lightning sphere in his hand and containing it in the ball as to not cause a forest fire.
'' I swear I better not be the only one of this island or I'm dead.'' Dante said knowing he can't face an army, even with his little friends.
Dante looked around with the light and saw that he was in a forest, obviously, but he was probably somewhere deep with lots of trees. Dante scanned the area seeing that it was night and the forest was making it hard to see five feet in front of him, even with his ball of light which was taking its toll as he couldn't keep the lightning contained for much longer.
' I probably got ten minutes til I can't hold it no more.' Dante thought as he took to the trees to get some light. He was able to get to the very top balancing himself on the point and trying to not to fall. Dante scanned the area not seeing anything but trees, but he saw in the distance what looked like a body of water. Dante looked around him quickly having just heard rustling of the leaves and when he looked in the direction, the sound stopped.
'' Its probably the wind.'' Dante said and was about to run his way to the lake, til a familiar hot head came through the tree tops with a battle cry and making Dante jump in fear as he lost his balance and fell.
'' Shit.'' Was all Dante could say as he was about to hit the leaves til someone caught him by the ankle with him dangling in the air under the tight grip of the person holding him.
'' Man I can't believe that work.'' The familiar voice said snickering and Dante looked up easily recognizing the voice and saw Eddy holding him with a grin.
'' Eddy?! Why you! Let me go!'' Dante exclaimed and Eddy did so letting the boy drop through the trees and heard a thump and a curse. Eddy couldn't help but laugh at the boy as he came up with twigs and leaves in his hair. Shaking the nature out of his hair, he glared at the laughing Eddy.
'' What the fuck man?'' Dante exclaimed.
'' You...said...let go!'' Eddy got out between laughs, but stopped after a few minutes needing to breath.
'' You down fire boy?'' Dante asked with a tick mark on his head and still glaring at Eddy.
'' Yeah, metal boy.'' Eddy said with a small smile.
'' Good.'' Dante said looking to the lake wondering if they should go there and rest for a while, a question that he wanted to ask popped up and he turned to Eddy with a perverted grin and a twinkle in his eyes.
'' Hey Eddy, do you know what a Spirit Guardian is?'' Dante asked.
'' Yeah, I met mine, how about you?'' Eddy asked receiving a nod in response.
'' Well my friend I just wanted to know, did your Spirit Guardian tell you about something about marriage or something in particular about woman?'' Dante asked his smile going wider.
'' Don't tell me.'' Eddy said his face splitting in a grin exactly like Dante's.
'' Multiple wives!'' Both boys cried out high fiving each other.
'' Man this is so awesome, I can't wait to get my first wife, then second, third, fourth and so on!'' Eddy said rubbing his hands together.
'' I can't either, since you and I got the news then the guys must have gotten the same thing too.'' Dante said.
'' I bet Ed was blushing, Double D was stuttering like an idiot, and Tech was arguing about it.'' Eddy said really wishing he saw Edd's face when he got the news.
The two then felt their stomachs rumbling, stopping their celebrating.'' Man do you have something to eat?'' Eddy asked.
'' Yeah, lets go to that lake over there and eat, we'll save some for the others.'' Dante said with Eddy nodding in agreement. The two Saviors of Powers jumped to the branches jumping across the branches quickly and just in a few minutes they were at the lake and literately landed in the lake with a big splash.
Dante and Eddy tried to regain their thoughts since they hit the water head first, Dante gained his bearings first and swam up. Eddy was just behind looking in the darkness of the, surprisingly, deep depths of the lake and saw four red lights blinking, but couldn't think as he was starting to lose air and quickly swam up coming up top taking deep breaths as he looked around seeing Dante in the distance going on shore. Eddy moved his hair out of his face and was going to follow til his hat popped up in front of him splashing water on his head.
Eddy grabbed the soaked fedora and put it on his head, muttering ''stupid hat.'' under his breath as he speed his way through like a speedboat and met Dante just as he was on shore. The boys stepped out of the water soaked to the skin in water and dripping as they fell down gasping breathing hard and fell on their backs.
Unfortunately the wind started to blow making the boys go cold. Eddy quickly covered his body in blue fire and he was dry, with Dante still stuttering getting out a blanket from his satchel and covering himself to heat himself up.
'' N-n-n-n-o fa-fa-fa-fa-fair.'' Dante stuttered seeing Eddy dry off so quickly.
'' The benefits of having fire.'' Eddy said with a chuckle flicking orange fire in front of Dante making a small, but warm fire.
'' Th-th-th-a-a-a-n-n-nks.'' Dante stuttered out holding his hands out to the fire.
'' We should rest here for the night.'' Eddy said feeling his energy suddenly going down.
'' I-I-I agree.'' Dante said feeling some warmth coming to him. The two was left in a peaceful silence with the night time forest noises filling the air and bringing natural relaxing music. Good thing the forest was just a few feet away and the field they were in was small, the size of two short buses side-by-side.
'' You think the others are alright?'' Eddy asked after a few moments of silence.
'' I'm sure my brother, Double D and Ed could take care of themselves.'' Dante asked drying his hair with the blanket.
'' Not them I know they'll do more than fine. I meant the reason we're here, the students, teachers, parents, and friends.'' Eddy said.
'' Oh I'm sure they're fine, if Vladimir wants us then he'll keep them there.'' Dante said digging around in his bag getting a few fruits out and handing some to Eddy who started to eat.
''(Munch)(Munch) You better be right genius boy(Munch)(Munch) or I'm burning you.'' Eddy jokingly said swallowing the banana he was eating, going to the orange next.
'' Deal.'' Dante said having already finished his fruits and was digging in his bag again.
Dante pulled back out of the satchel and putting six spiders, birds, and snakes out. Turning them on with a spark they came to life looking around their surroundings seeing that they were in a forest area.
'' Okay guys, I need you to find code Raven, Wolf, and Element. Look around the island with your night vision and thermal clips til you find them. Guide them to this location If three of you find them, I want the rest of you to survey the area north of here, with the mountain terrain. '' Dante gave the orders to the mechanical life forms as they all went to do so spreading across into the forest or air.
'' Now we wait?'' Eddy asked.
'' Yep.'' Dante said bringing a pillow out of satchel and laying down. Eddy put another flicker of orange fire expanding the fire in size as he laid down on his back using his hands as his pillows and soon fell asleep.
Far North East of Eddy and Dante
Wisps of light suddenly appeared in the middle of a field and the wisp separated in a frenzy dissipating into thin air. The wisps left behind a person, wearing a white jacket with a hood that had what looked like black raven tribal markings on the back. The boy's hood was up showing his ski hat with a few hairs sticking under it. The jacket was open showing his denim jacket with a blue shirt underneath. His pants was white, instead of orange, with blue and black outlined feathers licking the bottom
His shoes was pure white and dark blue, instead of their normal colors. The boy scanned the area with keen, yellow, eyes. Too busy to notice the small changed in his clothing, his hands twitched a little to the back, ready to reach for his bow.
'' Good thing no ones around here to attack me.'' Double D muttered under his breath relaxing his stance as he saw it was night and probably after midnight, meaning they been out all day.
Edd wondered on where he was, if he was here then the others couldn't be far. He couldn't tell exactly, but he knew he was somewhere high up do the cold winds and he felt this only hours before meaning he was back on the mountain they started on or he was on the other one that was across from them.
'' Wait if that's true, then the school must be near by I could go and mark the location with something and go back and get the others.'' Double D muttered looking around his area, haven't saw this field on the other and must be the one that bordered the school.
Double D quickly moved to one side seeing...no land. Instead he the cliff wall leading down to the...air?'' Wait, that's impossible.'' Double D thought, and swallowing enough courage started to descend the wall to see if what he thought was true, he made quick work getting down and made it the bottom where he was hanging on for dear life, his body shacking
' Why do I do things without thinking it through? I must be really hanging out with Eddy too much.' Edd thought remembering the actions that Eddy made without thinking them through, which usually ended in their scam's failure.
But the Savior was there and he might as well get this over with, moving down more he was able to reach the cliff's bottom. Double D's theory was proven right, but he needed to see what was making the island float, the mass and size of the island is way too much to fly. A sudden image sprung in his head seeing a grown man dressed in full white and wearing clothes from the seventeen hundreds, the man jumped from a building and a rope of light came from his hand as reached the ledge of the building pulling himself up til he was on top and continued his run. The image went away from his head, as he was left dazzled by what he saw.
' What was that? Who was that? Was that me? Or was it someone else?' Double D thoughts continued on, not noticing the rocks his hands on was about to give out. Double D's thoughts was interrupted as he felt the rock in his left hand give out leaving the boy dangling, Double D didn't scream or cry for help as he thought he would.
'' No! No! NO! I am sick and tired of having to depend on others all the time, its times I stick for myself!'' Double D's outburst made the boy blush in embarrassment, hoping no one heard that. But the boy saw his own point, he always relied on someone else, and when he had to do it alone and by himself he was nothing more than a weak and pitiful boy, even with his powers he was still weak. The world around him froze as he thought of what he said.
' Well no more, I was chosen to be a hero, damn it I was born to be one! I'm the Savior of Light, Invisibility, and Telekinesis! I need to live up to the name! I can't be weak, I'll only hold everyone else back! I'll show them! Kevin, mom, dad, Eddy, Ed, Tech, Dante and everyone. They, but my friends, think I'm not strong enough and I'll prove them wrong!' Double D's confidence skyrocketed as he became determined to become strong.
The world resumed at normal speed, just in time for the rock in his other hand to give out and for the boy to fall faster than he could say uh-oh. Double D screamed as he fell and the image of the man came back with the rope of light. Double D formed a ball in his hands and swung them forward in a wide arc as the Light Grapples came forward reaching the rock just in time and dug into the floating earth stopping his fall.
Edd sighed in relief as dangled in the air, thanking the mysterious person for making this up. Double D eyes widen in shock as he looked under the island, there was nothing making the island float! Then a thought came into his head.
' Maybe Vladimir actually have people like us with him and probably has a powerful friend with telekinesis that was keeping the island afloat, or multiple users of the ability constantly seeping their energy through the island making it stay afloat. They must be powerful indeed, is that a waterfall?' Double D thought just noticing the water falling from the floating island. The sight was beautiful looking like a vortex gleaming in the moonlight.
Edd shook his head, knowing its not the time to be distracted by things like a vortex waterfall. Edd looked up seeing the Light Grapples were hanging on, but he felt his energy draining and fast. Wanting to go before he fall he started climbing the rope. A minute later he was on the rocks and climbing again and very quickly as he didn't want more rocks to come loose. He couldn't make another rope, if he did.
Double D reached the top in record time and pulled himself up rolling a few feet til he was on his back panting and staring at the night time sky. Edd whipped the sweat from his face, never feeling so scared and excited before. The boy blushed remembering his little speech in his had earlier, he didn't know what came over him, but it was a sign. Maybe he was tired and he got cranky. Edd didn't think much as he heard a hissing noise and jumped away knowing the only thing able to hiss was a snake. Double D got his bow and pulled the string, an Arrow of Light forming glowing brightly in the night.
Double D raised a brow seeing that the snake was silver not the colors of a snake scaled skin. He figured it was Dante's and approached the mechanical animal. It hissed again its blue glowing eyes following his every move. Edd crouched down holding out his arm letting the snake climb on. The snake opened its mouth and a piece of paper came out with printed words. Double D ripped the note off and read its contents.
'' Well it seems Dante found Eddy and are resting, I should go to regroup with them. Well guide me my metallic companion.'' Double D said putting the snake down and it slither towards the camp direction, with Edd right behind him. The wind blew strongly and Edd pull his hood up to cover from the cold, the shadow of the hood covered everything but his lower face. His eyes glowed an eerie yellow under the darkness.
On the East side of the Island.
Shimmering white sparkles floated in the air seeming to number in hundreds, with the air around the general area growing colder. Suddenly the white sparkles came down into one spot forming into a person. The white particulars spiked like ice and disappeared into the air leaving a boy dressed like a samurai with chest armor and a gauntlet covering the left forearm and a shoulder pad with a crescent moon engraved on it.
The boy had silver slit eyes that calmly, but critically, scanned his surroundings seeing that he was in the forest of the island he was on before the Soul Plain, he hopped. The samurai like teen calmly moved along the trail he landed on. As he walked the boy kept his movements fast and watched his every step knowing on this island that a trap could possibly be of any shape or form.
Techlin may have been relax and prepared outside, but inside he was a crazy guy on drugs. Tech wasn't so scared of anything, he was brave and if he was scared he barely showed it, sometimes. But was the fact of the multiple wives. The others were probably excited more specifically Eddy and Dante will probably have wet dreams for months, Double D was probably nervous as he was but on different reasons, and Ed probably fainted or blushed like a tomato. But he was not them, not a normal boy even from the start.
' I'm fucking married and now I hear this!? Why couldn't our powers come earlier like a year, six months, and...and some unknown amount of days ago. Wow, I hope I don't forget our anniversary...again.' Thought the Ice boy. He was married since August in that set amount of time.
Yep, the man boy was indeed in complicated predicament. Techlin thoughts was interrupted by the sound of rocks...falling. Techlin looked to the south, the mountain that he and his friends probably jumped off of at the beginning of the day. Techlin turned in that direction, wondering if that was one of his friends.
10 Minutes Later with Ed
Ed whipped the sweat off his forehead and sighed standing up, cracking his back with the metal object under his arm. It was a hassle but he was able to get the thing off. The human insides, that he thought will spill out wasn't there and instead was robotic with the heart and some other important organs still inside.
'' Vladimir you truly are sick.'' Ed stated staring at the body and preparing to leave and find the others having waist enough time in the Sentinel graveyard. Just as he was about to turn around he already saw one of his friends burst through the trees and the straw hat that was around his neck gave it away.'' Techlin! My Kenjutsu using friend!''
Said boy looked up in time to see Ed pick him up in a bone crushing hug.'' Nice to see you too Ed.'' The boy said coating his body in a thin, but very hard layer of ice. Ed put the boy down a second later and Techlin caught sight of the object under Ed's arm.
'' Whats is that?'' Techlin asked nodding to the object.
'' This my friend, is the mechanical part of the beings we know as Sentinels that Vladimir deployed on us earlier this day. I detached it from one of the dead ones on the cliff and going to bring it to Dante for examination, he might be able to get some type of intellect from this contraption about Vlad maybe even where the school location is. While unscrewing the screws I saw the inside of the human half and its nearly robotic with only a few major organs that a human may need to survive, the stomach wasn't there and they're most likely powered by an electrical course that ''feeds'' them the energy needed to keep the organs alive, or something like that.'' Ed explained.
Tech was too busy staring in awe at Ed, he knew Ed was smart and was proven more so when he explained after their little match with each other, but he was wondering how smart he was never hearing Ed not talk with many big words, he didn't think he knew some of those words.
'' Techlin, Techlin, snap out of it man.'' Ed said snapping his fingers and the boy out of his thoughts.
'' Sorry Ed its just I never heard you talk so differently from your usual self.'' Techlin explained.
'' Don't worry bucko, you'll just hear sometimes, not all.'' Ed informed him and Techlin nodded.
'' You really think its worth anything?'' Techlin asked reaching and feeling the cold metal.
'' Yeah, Dante should know what to do with it. Techlin you have one of Dante's Arachnids on top of your head.'' Ed pointed seeing the spider come down on a ''web'' and land on Techlin's head.
'' A bird is on your head.'' Techlin said pointing to the bird on his head.
The two silver mechanical robots opened their mouths and a slip of paper came out, both boys grabbed and ripped the paper and read the contents.
'' Huh, so shall we go Ed?'' Techlin asked crumbling the note and putting it in his pocket.
'' Yeah, I'm glad everyone is alright. We might meet Double D along the way!'' The magic user said happily going in the trees with Techlin right behind him.
Thirty Minutes Later With Eddy and Dante
Eddy was having a wonderful dream of woman all begging to get married by him. They flocked in the millions with some even abandoning their families and husbands for his handsome self.
'' Don't worry ladies, you all can share me just follow me to my king times a million size bed and I can choose after a few times.'' Eddy said in his sleep and Double D was disturbed greatly.
He just arrive and woke up Dante who was rummaging through his bag looking for something. He was about to wake up Eddy, til he heard what he said. Plus he didn't dare look below the belt as he just knew something was not right.
He backed up saying.'' A growing teen needs his rest.''
Double D didn't need to do anything as Ed came out of the trees, yelling.'' Double D, Dante, Eddy! You're alive!''
The yell woke Eddy, but the boy was still tired, but the giant boy that was flying over him made him wake up completely especially when he fell and landed on the sand-fire user.
'' Something soften landing.'' Ed said and looked down seeing Eddy under him and was then launched in the air by black sand that lifted him high in the air and let him fall straight into the water launching water into the air and making a big wave come up and go to shore, more exactly where the others were.
Double D hanged on to the tree trunk soaking wet as the water went down. Techlin was wet as well despite being in the trees. Dante, who was lucky, got into the trees to the top and came out dry. Eddy and Ed were in the water.
'' Eddy did it!'' Ed said coming up to the surface and pointing to Eddy who came up after him.
'' Oh shut up, you shouldn't have gone on me and being so big!'' Eddy exclaimed.
Before Ed could retort the two was covered in ice, their expressions frozen still. Dante and Double D, who got down to the muddy ground, saw Techlin who looked annoyed and his hand in the water with thick trail of ice leading to the two frozen Ed-sicles
'' Its too late at night to be arguing even for us.'' Techlin explained his reasons before they asked, even though they weren't. They understood completely.
'' Bring them on shore, we should thaw them and build camp elsewhere.'' Dante said knowing this site was destroyed.
30 Minutes Later.
A few minutes from the lake was the boys who settled in a small area surrounded by trees.
The five were around a blazing fire huddled up for warmth, besides Techlin who stayed in a tree a few feet away and high from the fire. The boy said that the fire felt ''weird'', it didn't feel like he was coming down anytime soon so they left him alone and stopped pestering on the weirdness of a perfectly done fire.
They were discussing their Soul Plain experiences. They told each other of how they came to there, with the surprise of Tech gaining his hands subsiding a few minutes after he told it. They told of their Spirit Guardians and how they acted with Eddy explaining in extreme detail of his Spirit trying to get a rise and it worked on all, but Techlin, who were all blushing at the end. They told of their balance, light and dark. Dante, Techlin, and Edd all had to wonder if their dark side will come to them one day and what it will do to take over.
The marriage thing was one thing that they decided to keep to a minimum, though the giddy faces on Eddy and Dante showed that they were going to talk about it with just themselves and maybe Ed.
The pack continued on talking til they became tired and went to sleep.
Holy molly I can't believe that took that long! For fuck's sake I thought it'll be short, but no my imagination got over my head, damn it to hell!
Ahh what am I saying I love my little crazy nut of a brain.
But how did you like that, I told you all that there will be secrets and surprises and a plus was that this was a two chapter arc, I kept that to a minimum at least. Dante being a thief will be explained later in the story, but to himself in thought. The Harem idea was just a thought that I made as a funny joke to the story to myself. I joked around with the idea and juggled it in my head, and I said. ''This might be a good idea, the drama, the love, the complications, the more humor added in the story. Yeah!'' So guys don't worry we'll see if some love will happen with
multiple tricks in the middle.
But do NOT worry. You think this is over! It just began, stay tune for more action, more explosions, more secrets and more of just being a crazy person! This is Total Dra-
What the hell! Get out of here Chris! I thought you locked you up in that closet til you finished cleaning my duck collection!
Oh I'm screwed! Before I die, I mean go, stay tune for the next chapter of this mega ripoff of Super Eds bye!
Get back back here pretty boy!
Next Chapter: First Villain Arc: Welcome to School!
See you later!
Review and do it again for fun.
