Chapter 10

Jump City

"An Incantation of Evil – The Final Part"

"JUMP!" Robin called as Trigon ran his hands into the ground.

"What the bloody hell is going on?" I cried out, dodging a few fireballs.

"That's my father." Raven said, emotionlessly.

"NO SHIT."

I tried to hit the hands of the giant demon, but every time I tried my scepter would just go through his hands. Beast boy was already worn out. We'd been fighting for what seemed like hours on end.

"This is getting us nowhere, and we're already down a titan." Robin huffed in exhaustion.

"It's not possible, we can't touch him. It's like he's a hallucination or something." I said, breathing heavily.

"He's definitely there, but he is the personification of evil. Only evil can stop him, and that's something none of us have." Raven said.

"Then how the fuck are we supposed to fight?"

"Trick an evil person to killing him? I don't know."

Another large hand came crashing down as we dodged. Cyborg got hit by a shockwave that came out of the crash.

"This is bad." Robin said.

"It's like doomsday, but the doom is multiplied by way too fucking much." I replied.

"Is there an easier way?" Cyborg called out from the opposite side of Trigon.

"I don't think there is, Cyborg!" Robin called back.

"Where is Starfire?" Raven asked, landing down next to Robin and me.

"Starfire left a few hours ago. Not much we can do about that."

Another trigon hand smashed into the ground. Raven, Robin, and I all dodged rolled into a protected area.

"COME OUT COME OUT WHEREVER YOU ARE! DADDY IS HERE TO KILL YOU, REX OWEN!" Trigon shouted.

"No one is allowed to call themselves my father." I said.

"Rex, who is your father?" Robin asked.

"Yeah, great time to ask a question about my past, Robin. You remind me of my sister…."

"What?"

"Personality wise. You and her are both real fucking annoying when it comes to not thinking stratigetically."

"Sorry for being curious."

"Stop arguing. How do we stop him? It seems impossible." Raven said.

"Maybe something lucky will happen and an evil person will come out of nowhere and save us the trouble." I replied.

"Okay trigon, Listen up!" A voice came out of nowhere.

"Is that… Xalir? But… he left so long ago…" I said.

I took a peak outside of the safe area and noticed Xalir yelling at Trigon.

"You can't go around destroying worlds, if they're no world's left, what the hell do you think you're supposed to reign over?" Xalir asked Trigon.

"PUNY LITTLE SOULLESS, I WILL DEMOLISH YOU, FOR I AM TRIGON!" Trigon shouted.

"I asked you nicely, now I guess you must… die."

As I watched in amazement, Xalir sprouted wings randomly and continuously attacked the head and hands of the large demon.

"OW OW OW PLEASE PUNY CREATURE NO MORE PAIN!" Trigon shouted.

"Okay, I'll put you out of your misery!" Xalir yelled.

And with that, Xalir grew a big ball of darkness and aimed it at Trigon. The moment he threw it down, trigon dissolved until he was only ashes. Xalir's wings went away and the sky returned to the normal blue they once were.

"Xalir… you saved the worl-" I said.

"Rex Owen, you are lucky this time, I hold a grudge against every demon scum in any world. I will still find a way to kill you, but the demon scum of the worlds are my first target. One day, you will be like me. Hopeless, and alone. Go to the electronics shop to rescue Trione and Shione. Next time we meet, it won't be in kindness." Xalir said, snapping his fingers and disappearing.

"What was that all about?" Robin asked.

"There are things in this world I cannot tell you. This is one of those things." I replied.

"Ah, Rex, It's been awhile." An older voice said.

"Kerlaphoctetes?" I asked.

"And your loving big sister!" Janna exclaimed as she walked with Kerl over to me.

Kerl gave me a pat on the shoulder as Janna tried to give me a hug.

"Rex, come back to our hometown, where you will be king." Janna said.

"King?" Raven and Robin said at the same time.

"I don't think this is a good place to talk. Do you have any, pizza joints, as the kids say?" Kerl asked.

Robin just looked at him and gave him the motion to follow him. After 5 minutes of walking, we managed to reach the pizza place, and order our pizza.

"Kerl, why are you here?" I asked.

"Trione and Shione sent me here. They told me to give you more information about your dad." Kerl replied.

"What about my mom?"

"I'm not allowed to speak about her right now. This decade is much too stressful."

"Figures."

"Don't worry about it too hard, the wind will guide you." Janna said, joyfully.

"Trione and Shione are coming soon. You must be tired of fighting. You look AWFUL." Kerl said.

"Is there another reason why you're here?" I asked.

"Oh, Yes. You're dad died to Trotejy today."

"I had a dad?"

"Of course. How do you think you were born?"

"Adopted."

Everyone went silent as Trione and Shione entered the table area.

"What's with all this silence, it's annoying." Shione said.

"Stop it, Shione, it's not like you could be any less like the silence." Trione replied, giggling.

"TAKE THAT BACK YOU BLACK HAIRED WITCH!"

"You have black hair too."

"Trione? Where were you?" I asked.

"Locked in Illusio's mind trap. Apparently, he isn't an elite for nothing. He has a lot of people locked in there. Most of them are thought to be dead." Trione said.

"… Is Lyokian Leo in there?"

"Yes, and so is the real ichika, and the real saber."

"Saber…"

I turned my head down in a slight depression.

"Aw, come on kiddo! Now isn't the time to be depressed. We have pizza!" Kerl said, trying to cheer me up.

"I'm just… glad… Saber's okay." I replied.

"Mayura hasn't been found yet…" Trione said.

I slammed my head on the table and stood up.

"I'm going to go take a walk." I said, and I walked away.

Outside of the pizzeria, a numerous amount of kids were having fun playing and laughing. I sat on a park bench thinking about my life.

"What if I'm not cut out to be who I am? What if I'm just… a normal human who was in the wrong place at the wrong time? What if I never came back to the past, and I was just from the future, with my normal future friends, and my normal future parents…" I thought to myself aloud.

"Well, Then, I wouldn't exist." A pretty voice came from in front of me.

I lifted my head up to see a girl with reddish hair that ran down her back, along with wearing a normal schoolgirl outfit.

"May I sit down?" She asked.

"Go ahead." I said.

She did. We just sat there for a few minutes without saying anything to the other person. After a long silence, the girl finally spoke up.

"Rex Owen, who do you really want to be?" she asked.

I paused. I never really thought about it too hard, and I wasn't sure if I had an answer for her.

"I don't know." I replied.

"Well, when you get an answer, tell me, k?" She said.

"Who exactly are you?" I asked.

"A friend. Someone who, without you being who you are, without all the friends you met, and without a loving sister, is nobody. I'm the warm, fuzzy feelings inside your soul. I'm the positive emotions you feel when you meet someone you know you're going to like to be around. I'm just like Trione and Xalir, another part of you. One that, doesn't quite know how to exist," The Girl got up and twirled around, "Until next time, Rex Owen! I await our next conversation!"

"Wait," I called, "What's your name!"

I ran around a corner to catch up with her, but she was gone. I went back to the pizzeria.

"You ready to go?" Trione asked.

"I'm gonna be with you for a bit. I need to find max. That damn kid doesn't know where he's at half the time. Without me, he's just an absurd little kid." Shione said.

"You got the seal closed?" I asked.

"Xalir closed the seal. It was locked inside of Trigon. Without Xalir, we might have never left." Trione said.

"I'll be sure to thank him when we next see him." Robin said.

"Thanks for the offer, but I don't think that you'll be seeing him for a while now." I replied.

"Will we see you again?" Raven asked.

"I'll visit from time to time." I replied.

As Trione opened the portal to the next world, everyone waved, including Kerl, who was going to stay for a bit longer. Janna had gone back to Zaun, where I had first re-met her. The three of us walked into the portal, finally onto the next world.

Meanwhile, In the World that Never Must Be

"FOOLS!" Trotejy yelled, "HOW COULD YOU LET XALIR TAKE PART IN MARLUXIA'S TOURNAMENT? I WAS PLANNING TO WORK WITH HIM, BUT NOW XALIR IS TOO STRONG!"

"I'm sorry, Trotejy, it just kinda… happened." Illusio said.

"We swear it won't happen again!" Sinotide also yelled.

"It better not. For the time being, get in contact with White Steel Wrath before he dies again. Have him send over his two most powerful lackeys. We will kill Rex Owen or Xalir, whichever one gets in the way first…" Trotejy pressured.

"Right away your highness!" Illusio and Sinotide said simultaneously.

Both of them ran out the door, nearly running into each other.

"ROCKLINA! SELIXE!" Trotejy called.

Both came running into the room.

"Selixe, how was it in Illusio's mind? Or, rather, Isamio's mind?"

"They are the same person, correct?" Selixe said.

"Very good. Not many people understand Tryiogl's split personality. He doesn't even remember who Tryiogl is! Very, Very good. Now, the next place Rex and company are meeting is Raizen High School, I need you both to woo every female in that school." Trotejy asked.

"I'd be honored to serve such a noble cause, Trotejy." Selixe said.

"Hold up, that doesn't sound very good to my ears. You want us to be LESBIANS?" Rocklina asked.

"Is that a bad thing?" Trotejy asked.

"No, no, but Raizen? There are no pop-ular girls there to make out with!"

"If you want to make out with popular girls, go to IS academy after this task is complete. Trust me, I am the future ruler of the worlds."

"Yes, your majesty. Rocklina, stop making such a fuss. It's for the new ruler." Selixe said angrily.

"Find, WHATEVER. As long as I have my music, I'll do it." Rocklina complained.
