Sorry to leave the cliffhanger but here is the next chapter!
Ch. 10
Darkness. Its all I could see. I could feel myself floating around in an empty space with my hair flowing around like the hem of a dress. My body was numb all over so I couldn't move and my eyes were closed almost like I was sleeping. I don't know if I'm awake or unconscious but I could my body being moved. I felt someone's arms holding me and my forehead being touched providing warmth in my body. The numbness was starting to go away but I can't move my arms or legs since I'm still floating.
I could hear voices yelling for me to wake up. I want to wake up but I don't know how to get out of the darkness. Suddenly, I could feel a bright light engulfing me and I felt a sudden sense of serenity washing over me. The voices were starting to get louder pleading with me to wake up so I did.
When I opened my eyes, the darkness wasn't there anymore but my vision was slightly blurry. I could make out some figures who were wearing red, blue, and green but their faces were still a blur. After blinking a few times to regain my vision, I could clearly see the figures. Danny and Mr. Coconut were there with 2 familiar looking faces.
The one wearing red is a boy with long red hair tied in a ponytail with spiky bangs, scarlet red eyes that remind me of fire, and the same outfit like Danny except it was in red.
The one wearing green is also a boy with green hair that was sort of spiky and it reaches his shoulders, green eyes that were the same color like forest leaves, the same outfit like the other 2 except in green, and he had a bit of muscle in his arms.
My eyes widened in shock at seeing the two people that Danny, Mr. Coconut, and I were looking for a while.
"Henry? Lenny?" I whispered.
"Glad to see you're awake Nexa" Henry sighed in relief.
I noticed that Lenny was the one holding me with his arm supporting my upper body. I looked around and noticed that we were missing another person.
"Where's Marco?" I asked them.
"We have no clue where he is. Our guess is that he might be at the planet next to the one we were previously in and he's probably looking for us. We tried to contact him but our communicator said there was no signal from him" Henry answered.
"Now that we're reunited with you, we're gonna kill Naman for what he did to you" Lenny growled.
Memories of what Naman did soon flooded into me and I clutched at my neck hoping he didn't leave any red spot on it.
"We figured that he sucked out your energy after seeing the red spot he gave you" Henry said venomously.
"What!" I yelled, getting out of Lenny's grip. "Are you serious!?"
"I'm afraid so but relax, Danny healed it up so its gone now" he answered.
"Nexa please don't ever do that again!" Danny hugged me. "I was afraid that he was gonna destroy you or something"
"Sorry about that Danny but if I didn't, he said that your souls would be his" I said.
"Typical Naman" Mr. Coconut sighed.
Danny broke the hug and the boys helped me get up since I felt a little dizzy but now I'm okay. I noticed that we were outside the forest and at the park where I would usually go to.
"Now that you're better, we should leave this planet now" Lenny said.
"What! Why?!" I exclaimed.
"None of us sense any gems here so we gotta move on and plus, I don't think anyone is in danger since the PPGZ and RRBZ are taking care of it" he pointed out.
"You know them?" I asked.
"Danny and Mr. Coconut explained everything to us" Henry answered.
"Oh I see" I said. "But I can't leave this planet yet! The girls will be sad that I left without telling them!"
"I'm sorry Nexa but we have to go. The mission comes first!" he said boldly. "Now lets open up the portal and leave now so we could find Marco"
A portal opened in front of us and the boys stepped in and ushered me to step in with them. However, before I could tell them that I won't go, I heard a loud explosion not far from here and the portal suddenly closed shut leaving me all alone here in New Townsville.
"Sorry boys but you're gonna have to find Marco by yourselves. I have to stay and help the girls" I muttered sadly as I turned around and ran toward the explosion.
When I got there, I saw the GangGreen Gang members knocked out on the floor with a triumphant Buttercup holding her hammer while the others sweat-dropped at what she did.
"That'll teach them to call me girly" she muttered.
Now I know why they were knocked out. Guess she hates it when people call her girly since she's a total tomboy. I was broken out of my thoughts when someone almost tackled me into a hug.
"Oh Nexa-chan, thank goodness you're okay! What happened to you!?" Bubbles cried as she checked over my body to see if I had any injuries.
"I'm okay Bubbles and its sort of a long story" I answered.
"I think you should tell us the whole story on whats going on" Blossom said with her arms crossed.
"I have no other choice do I?" I sighed as the RRBZ landed behind me to prevent me from escaping. "Okay I'll tell you the whole story but you better listen well okay?"
They all nodded as Bubbles broke the hug and I soon began to tell them my story.
"To tell you the truth, I'm from Oklahoma in America but in a different planet since this type is different from mine. I first became the wielder of the soul blade after visiting my friends' home planet including their queen. The boys came with me to travel to other planets in order to find the gems that would sent me back home. Along the way, I made some enemies but the toughest one was Naman, my male counterpart made by an organization who didn't want me to interfere with their plans and yes, he's the boy who was at the lab that Peach sniffed out"
Their eyes widened as they realized he was my male clone but they ushered me to continue.
"The boys and I managed to find some of the gems but not the rest. After we teleported, we accidentally got separated which would explain how I got here. Mr. Coconut was the first one I found after defeating the GangGreen Gang for trying to hurt him and then Danny was the 2nd one that you all met at the school yard. Naman managed to find me here and was intent on defeating me once and for all and the reason for his hatred towards me is unknown. Now that all my friends except one found me unconscious in the forest, they wanted me to leave but I refused them and after they stepped in the portal, the explosion came from here and the portal vanished so now I'm alone here with you guys and possibly Naman"
After I finished my explanation, they were all pretty much surprised from my story but the blues had sad looks on their faces.
"Why did Danny have to leave? He was pretty cool to hang out with" Boomer slightly frowned.
"At least you didn't leave. We would be pretty upset if you left" Bubbles said.
"For you girls but not for the boys" I replied.
"You called us great grandpas!" Butch shouted.
"Which is really funny" Buttercup smirked.
"Anyways, since you'll be staying here for a while, the Professor said that you're still welcome to stay at the lab if you want" Blossom said.
"Thanks for the offer but I think I'll be fine sleeping on the trees. I really like to watch the stars at night" I answered.
"You're definitely a weird girl" Brick replied.
"And you're a bad boy who likes a certain good girl whom you think of as a beautiful cherry blossom" I shot back while smirking at him.
"Shut up!" he yelled while his cheeks were pink.
I slightly laughed and then I felt one of the cards in my pocket glow. I pulled it out and noticed that a red triangle and a pink heart were near each other glowing in their respective colors. Looks like I know 2 certain people with those symbols who are meant for each other.
"What are you looking at?" Bubbles asked.
"Oh nothing" I quickly put the card back in my pocket. "Since the GangGreen Gang members are knocked out, what are you gonna do about them?"
"All we do is threaten them to make sure they don't do anything bad but as always, they won't listen" Buttercup sighed.
"And like always, we kick their scrawny butts" Butch grinned evilly.
"Okay…" I slightly sweat-dropped.
"Since its only 4 pm and school is already over, how about you spend the night at the lab and don't even think about refusing" Blossom said.
She grabbed my hand and lifted me up before I could protest and she flew toward the lab with me while everyone else flew beside her and so I clutched onto her so I wouldn't fall. But why did I had the feeling that I was being watched by a certain someone that I know of?
?'s p.o.v.
I slightly chuckled from the scene and smirked at my own plan. Soon, the planets shall be ours and once that happens, no one would ever stop us from ruining our plans. Once we use Naman and make sure that the girl is eliminated, he won't be any use to us anymore and I'll steal my dark light back from him so I could still be strong as before.
"Everything shall go according to plan" I chuckled. "The Top 6 shall be the most powerful organization in the whole wide universe"
"Hello old man" I heard a dark voice said.
I turned my head and found my puppet looking at me with a bored expression on his face.
"Well hello Naman, did you like the power I gave you?" I smirked.
"Its strong but I feel like its missing something" he answered.
"Missing something? Like what?" I asked.
"I don't know but its coming from here" he clutched onto his chest.
"Don't worry, the power will expand and fill in the emptiness that you feel" I reassured him.
"I hope so" he answered while clenching his fist.
Oh Naman, you're such a fool on not noticing that I'm only using you. Hope you have a good life with your powers since you'll never see them again.
