Ello again, I'm so sorry for the long update but I finally got it! Okay just a heads up the first part of this story has nothing to do with the current story line but I plan on entering these characters soon for one of my friends and anyway just tell me what you think of it. Thanks!
Chapter 10
"I told you Sage there's no use in lookin' for some'tn that doesn't exist anymore!" A young brunette hair teen calls to the girl in front of him her long silky black hair swaying slightly as she walks. 'Stubborn as always, how can she even be my sister?' He silently ponders as Sage glares at him with her cold grey-blue eyes. "What?" He asks as she turns back.
"You Drox, the Guardians are still out there! I won't stop until every last one of them has felt the pain our parents felt!" She growls softly glaring at the road ahead.
"I've told ya Sage! It ain't their fault!" Drox argues as Sage stops and glares at him her eyes blazing with hatred.
"THEY TRUSTED THE HUMANS! AND NOW WE SUFFER!" She shouts. "I WILL MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF THEM DIE!" She continues startling Drox.
"…Then what?" He questions her as she stops and thinks a moment.
"Then I guess I'll die too." She coldly answers as she turns and walks away.
"Sage that's not what I meant." Drox sighs softly looking defeated at his sister.
"Oh?" She questions as she chuckles and continues, "What did you mean then?" She mocks as Drox sighs hanging his head low in shame.
"Whether you want to follow me or not it doesn't matter, yer on yer own bro." Sage calls over her shoulder as Drox scoffs and follows her.
"I can't let my little sister go off on her own." He sighs as she scoffs a disgusted look on her face.
"Whatever you say dear brother." She mocks sarcastically as she takes off running.
"SAGE!" Drox calls running after her but stops seeing that she's already gone. "It's useless I might as well try finding the Guardians home." He growls as he turns and walks off. 'Even then I'd have better luck finding that than catching up to her!' He inwardly shouts as he stomps off. "She doesn't understand that I'm telling her the truth! The guardians weren't responsible for the Destroyers' demise!" He shouts to the air when a small brightly colored bird flies down and lands on a branch chirping at him.
"WHAT?" He demands glaring at the small bird as it continues to happily chirp its cheeks puffed out as it sings. 'I'm yelling at a bird…how pathetic.' Drox silently groans face palming and hanging his head in shame.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp!" The bird sings happily as if laughing at Drox's misery. "Tweet, tweet, tweet!" It continues as Drox glares at it.
"That's it!" He shouts chasing after the bird as it takes off into the forest. "I'M GONNA KILL THAT BIRD!" Drox yells speeding after the swift bird not noticing the dark figure above him.
"Just what I need two 'Destroyers' wondering around…" Shadow scowls as he watches with great boredom Drox chasing after the poor little bird that was franticly trying to escape. "This could turn the whole thing upside down though..." He continues an evil smirk spreading across his dark features.
"GET BACK HERE BIRD!" Drox shouts as Shadow smirks and forms a small black orb in his right hand.
"I could make him my puppet…" Shadow begins as a sick and twisted smile forms on his face, "Or I could just kill him now and get him out of the way." He says as the orb seems to devour all the light near making it look like a void and his eyes turn into thin slits.
"DROX GET YER BUTT MOVIN', WE AIN'T GOT ALL DAY!" Sage shouts as Shadow growls and the orb slowly diminishes.
'I was about to get rid of him…' Shadow thinks growling as Drox stops chasing the bird and grunts.
"I'M COMIN!" He shouts grumbling as he walks towards his little sister scowling when he feels a cold shiver pass over him. "What the?" He questions glancing up at the sky but seeing nothing besides the few clouds that floated by. 'What was that just now?' He silently questions searching the sky and still finding nothing.
'Dang…he nearly found me…' Shadow scowls peering through the cloud he's hiding behind. 'I better get back home before they notice I'm gone…' He thinks vanishing in a small black puff of smoke.
"DROX!" Sage shouts glaring at him, her blue-grey eyes filled with rage and foot tapping the ground impatiently.
"SHUT YER YAP I'M COMIN!" He retorts stalking towards her every now and then glancing back up to the sky before continuing towards his furious sister.
"YEA WELL YOU AIN'T COMIN' QUICK ENOUGH!" Sage retorts as Drox rolls his eyes and grumbles.
… … …
"Okay so what's the real reason ya came to Mirrors Brook?" Scarlet asks Eva as they fly through the trees.
"I told Alma earlier that I just wanted to explore the country, I don't really have a destination." Eva replies taking out a gem and looking at it, its soft blue hue shining in the night. "I got this little beauty when I went to a small town…oh what was it called I can't remember." Eva continues mainly talking to herself as Scarlet sighs and rolls her eyes.
'This girl can't be serious I mean she acts all ditzy but is this really what she acts like?' Scarlet thinks sighing as Eva tucks the jewel away safely in her coat pocket. "Are you actually serious, yer just an explorer?" Scarlet asks as Eva looks back up and nods a smile on her bright face.
"Yep, I always wanted to be an explorer, I was finally able to become when I went on a trip with one of my friends!" Eva excitedly cheers as Scarlet shakes her head.
"Ya got way too much energy Eva!" Scarlet mocks as Eva, laughs and nods in agreement.
"I know but I don't I'm not sure where I got all of it from!" Eva chirps beside Scarlet when they reach the edge of the forest and appear on the other side of town.
"Well looks like we're here, come'n I'll show ya where we're stayin' and let you meet the others." Scarlet says tugging Eva's shirt and walking towards their inn. 'If she is just an explorer what harm could she do?' She thinks looking at Eva a moment.
"Alright now I get to meet your other friends! I'm so happy!" Eva cheers, doing a little happy dance in front of the hotel. "Ooh what are they like? Do they talk like ya'll?" Eva asks as Scarlet sighs and grumbles, walking into the hotel and up the somewhat sturdy stair case.
"I guess they're alright." Scarlet answers with a scowl on her face when they reach their room. "Knock, knock." She bluntly says knocking on the door when they see the handle turn and Abel poke his head out.
"Hi Scarlet!" He greets opening the door as Scarlet and Eva walk in. "Whose this?" He asks kindly shaking Eva's hand.
"My name's Evangeline but you can call me Eva!" She greets back shaking his hand and smiling.
"It's nice to meet you too…um how did you end up meeting Scarlet?" Abel asks laughing slightly.
"Oh I was exploring." Eva says calmly a soft smile on her face.
"Wanna a piece of candy?" Scarlet asks as Eva nods and Scarlet gets a piece of caramel from Alma's backpack. "Here! Alma loves caramel she only gets the best." She laughs as Eva pops the caramel into her mouth.
"It's so good!" Eva chirps a broad smile on her face and laughing.
"I know! Here have a piece." Scarlet calls tossing a couple of pieces to Abel and Leon.
"I'm not too sure Alma would let us…" Abel says as he looks at the golden fool uncertain.
"Nah, she won't mind I do it all the time!" Scarlet reassures them as they shrug and eat the candy.
"It is good!" Abel says as Scarlet laughs a wicked grin on her face.
"I was lyin' Alma hates it when I steal her caramel. She chews me out because she saves up all her money and I go an' steal some." Scarlet laughs making everyone in the room choke on the candy.
"Why would you do that?" Leon gags coughing to get the candy unstuck.
"Don't know I always do it. You have to admit that Alma has good taste when it comes to choosing a good type of candy though." Scarlet slyly says avoiding all their anger as she continues to chew on her caramel.
"I don't care you shouldn't do that!" Leon scolds as the caramel finally loosens enough to stop choking him.
"Oh, that reminds me have you ever heard of a woman named Ace?" Abel asks as Scarlet calms down and looks at him.
"Don't know what's she look like?" She asks.
"Tall, ivory-ish skin, long hair that fades from crimson to black with bright red eyes…" Abel says unsure rubbing the back of his neck.
"I don't think so ya'd have to ask Alma she's better at remembering appearances." She answers shaking her head as Abel sighs and looks at Leon. "Why?" Scarlet asks after a moment.
"She attacked us and we think she may be helping Tyran." Leon answers as Scarlet nods in deep thought.
"That would make sense…but then she's probably a bounty hunter not actually in league with Tyran or Shadow." Scarlet coolly says flopping down in one of the other chairs. "I bet if we can talk to her like just a normal conversation then she'll end up helping us." She continues lounging in the chair.
"What makes you think that?" Leon scoffs rolling his eyes.
"Oh nothing much but I doubt she knows what Shadow's actually planning an' if she did know she wouldn't like it." Scarlet answers closing her eyes and leaning her head back.
"Why? What is Shadow planning exactly?" Abel asks as Scarlet lets out a heavy sigh.
"If I told you, you wouldn't believe me." She merely states gazing out the window. 'I don't even believe it myself…but Alma doesn't even know, he'd never tell her or he knew she'd go ballistic on him.' She thinks a sad smile appearing on her face.
... … …
"TYRAN LOOK OUT!" Alma shouts as Tyran gets tossed to the side by a massive dark wave.
"I told you guys you shouldn't of ran." Shadow mocks, stepping forward a crazed look on his usually stoic features. "If you come back now I won't hurt ya'll…well too much." He laughs his dark energy pouring off of him in waves.
"Forget it!" Scarlet shouts as ice and shadow form around her, Tyran and Alma take a couple steps back to get further away from the two.
"This won't end well for any of us…Tyran you're going to have ta make a run for it." Alma whispers to him as he shakes his head.
"What? Are you nuts Alma I'm not gonna leave you two-" He tries to argue but is silenced by Alma's cold glare.
"We can handle ourselves, besides you're not like us you're still vulnerable to his control…" She calmly says as Tyran looks at the ground defeated.
'Why are they the only ones not affected by Shadow's powers…why can't I be of any help to them?' Tyran thinks closing his eyes and tightening his fists.
"Tyran you have to go now." Alma says as he nods and turns when they hear the sounds of Scarlet's and Shadow's energies colliding. "Now, go now we don't have any more time!" She cries shoving Tyran forward when everyone's engulfed in pure blackness.
"Dang it…" Tyran whispers as Shadow stands in front of him a cynical smile on his face. 'No…Alma and Scarlet…' He thinks looking around and seeing the two passed out.
"Well seems like you're the only one to stay awake…Tyran." Shadow mocks picking him up by his throat and choking him.
"Yeah I'm the luckiest man in the world…" Tyran retorts glaring at Shadow.
"You know that's what I've always admired about you Tyran," Shadow sneers. "You've always been able to act tough whenever you're really one of the weakest of our kind." He mocks making Tyran gag for a moment.
"Yeah, I kind of picked that up from you!" Tyran growls as Shadow's eyes darken to almost a solid black and a low rumble erupts from his throat.
"I'll let that slide, now to business will you join me or will you continue to fight me like those two." Shadow asks as Tyran spits in his face.
"I'll follow you when I'm dead!" Tyran growls as Shadow smirks and wipes of the spit.
"Fine have it your way, habet umbra." Shadow coolly says as he drops Tyran to the ground. "I really would have preferred you to follow me willingly but you're just too stubborn." He solemnly sates as Tyran is enveloped in darkness.
… … …
"AGH!" Tyran cries suddenly awake and alert, he instinctively lashes out at whoevers around him.
'I wasn't finished, dang it he'll just attack whatever gets in his way at this point.' Alma thinks abruptly stopping the flames and narrowly dodging one of his cyclones.
"Alma stay back!" Tres orders taking out his guns and aiming for Tyran who turns and growls at him, his eyes blazing and his canines extended to more like fangs.
"Tres don't shoot!" Alma shouts pushing Tyran to the ground as Tres begins to fire. "You can't hurt him!" She scolds jumping up and dodging another of Tyran's attacks. 'He doesn't even know what he's doing.' She thinks growling as she moves Tres out of the way of another attack.
"Explain the reasoning as to why I cannot harm him when he is attacking us." Tres demands in a monotone voice as Alma sighs and they dodge another attack.
"The technique I was TRYING to do is called immunem ab umbris it frees anyone under any form of influence by a darkness wielder. I didn't get to finish it fully in fact I only got half way!" Alma explains raising her voice as she does. "But luckily if it is interrupted at any time and it's over half way through then it continues on its own accord!" She finishes yelping at the end as one of Tyran's wind blades slices her right arm.
"…In other words he is not responsible for his actions because he is not in complete control?" Tres questions as Alma nods and sighs.
"Yep!" Alma chirps ducking as an invisible wave flies over and cuts some of her hair. "…but we need to get him to go back to sleep or tire him out if we want to survive!" Alma quickly says as the wind slices he left cheek.
"Falcatae impetu venti!" Tyran shouts as a massive wind blade launches itself at the two.
"DUCK!" Alma shouts diving to the ground and dragging Tres with her as it zooms over their heads.
"Frangat terra venti!" Tyran shouts as the earth begins to shake and the wind picks the two up off the ground and tosses them into some trees.
"Yep…this will not end well for us unless we manage to get him to calm DOOOWWN!" Alma yelps as another trees comes flying and smacks her in the face. "owww…why…?" She cries rubbing her face, tears streaming down it.
"Ha! You truly are pathetic aren't you?" Tyran mocks, taking a step towards her as Tres raises his guns again.
"Do not take a step closer or I will harm you." He orders making Tyran stop a moment before his crazed grin widens and he launches another attack.
"I didn't take a step closer did I?" He asks in an innocent voice as Alma glares at him.
'How can I tire him out? I mean Tyran's got to be one of the most capable of us…he just has to much stamina plus his wind attacks keep us to far for a close range…' "THAT'S IT!" Alma shouts jumping up and releasing one of her flames making it collide with Tyran's causing a minor explosion.
"What're you doing?" Tyran growls glaring at Alma and narrowing his cold eyes at her.
"Well…I'm not sure exactly only goin' on instinct here buddy!" Alma chirps launching another attack as Tyran's wind blows it out. "Pretty good Ty!" She laughs as a large fireball forms in her hand. "But not good enough ignis erumpens!" She calls tossing the ball as it explodes in Tyran's face sending him flying backwards.
"I thought you said not to hurt him." Tres bluntly states as Alma quickly turns and nervously laughs.
"Ay I only said 'you' can't hurt him i never said anything about me not hurtin' 'im!" She scolds as Tres sighs defeated.
"Affirmative but does that not apply to you?" He asks when he notices a flash of movement behind her but before he could say anything or move, a massive wave of earth and wind slice into Alma sending her to the ground.
"Scalpere terram ventosum!" Tyran growls standing up from the rubble a slight burn mark on his face.
"…forgot how he usually reacts with a strong attack after getting knocked back…" Alma groans standing up shaking the dust off. "Tres I have an idea but I'll need yer help in order to even get past step one!" She quickly says as she walks over to Tres and whispers her plan in his ear.
"That could work but why are you the decoy?" Tres asks narrowing his eyes at her as she smiles sheepishly.
"Because it's my plan an' I decide what part everyone gets!" Alma pouts sticking her tongue out at him.
"I see no point in arguing with you over something that you will not listen to." Tres bluntly states standing up and reaching towards his guns.
Kay hoped you enjoyed! I know I'm not that good but I'm trying and would really like to know what I could to make the story or characters better!
