Just a quick warning, since the new Pokémon games are coming out in a few days, then next update might be late by a day or two.
~3rd Geno POV~
"But your idea makes no sense!" The boy interjected, "if you wish to inform Envy that you have us, then you'd have to publish it everywhere, and you'd probably end up in an asylum. Not that I care."
"You've only been here about two years, correct? Then you probably don't know there are many kinds of magic, unknown to most humans," she said, whipping out a fairly old-looking book, "take the Egyptians for example. Their magic was used more for communicating with their gods, though it uses the same basic principle, which is using an existing link between two beings to alert each other of their presence." She walked up to the man tied to the chair, held the book up, and started a long and complex chant in a language Rhea suspected was Ancient Egyptian due to her previous speech.
Slowly, pinkish-purple marks began to appear on the floor that looked to Rhea like a circle with various lines and markings in it, with most of the markings being symbols. About a minute or two into the chant, she stopped.
"The Great Serpent knows of your presence and location now. All we have to do it wait."
~Envy's POV~
After Falcon found some salted ham in one of the crates, we all ate. Though a few minutes later, I felt dizzy and had a headache. I figured it was the meat, but none of the other Genos seemed to be stumbling around like I was. I sat down and figured that if I closed my eyes, the pain might go away, but when I laid down and closed my eyes, I heard someone talking.
"Oh, Great Serpent, we have your creator." So the voices in my head have Hoenheim. Lovely. "If you wish to extract your vengeance upon him, we are in Germany, and are known as the Thule society. Your creator is in the Great Tower, around the town of Munich." the voice repeated itself a few times, which mainly ignored. I had no idea why the hell it called me the Great Serpent, but it did say something about "My creator," which I assumed was Hoenheim. Only I had no idea where the hell Munich was. I did remember Blaze saying something about being in Germany, so I was in the general area.
"Blaze, do you know where Munich is?" Blaze thought for a second, then told me to ask Charge or Marrow.
"Marrow, where's Munich?" Marrow paused for a second, then replied.
"I'm pretty sure it's about a mile away. Why?"
"Just wondering." So that means... the tower I'm in right now is the key to my revenge. I waiting until none of the Genos were watching, and then sneaked out the door.
From what I could see, the door to the room I was in a minute ago was connected to a balcony with a lot of doors, which explained why the room was fairly untouched. There wasn't anyone on the balcony, but there was a flight of stairs leading either up or down. Since it was more likely that someone looking for me would be in a more obvious place, I decided to go toward the ground floor.
~3rd person POV~
Dietlinde Eckhart looked up from her chant, fairly positive that the Great Serpent had received her message. Now she just needed to wait.
After about a minute, she could have sworn she heard footsteps on the stairs. She dismissed it as paranoia. Though after a minute, a green cat with striking violet eyes showed up on the bottom step. It glanced at the captives, then suddenly sprinted toward van Hoenheim, not even noticing the transmutation circle the Society was hoping to utilize to get to Shamballa under its paws.
At least, not until the circle had some effect on it. It stopped suddenly in the middle of the circle, ears perked. Then, slowly, crimson sparks began to dance across it body while its fur took on a more metallic, scale-like form. Its body was getting much larger, but its legs were getting less prominent, and grey wing-like appendages were coming from its shoulder blades, while its ears were morphing into bony spikes behind the head. There was a fin-like structure slowly forming on its spine, the same color of the wing-like things protruding from its shoulder blades.
By now, it was a massive green Leviathan around a hundred feet long, with glowing violet eyes.
The Great Serpent.
~Envy's POV~
I glanced at my body, which had changed into a massive Leviathan. Well, at least my shapeshifting had returned, even if it was at a fairly awkward moment. And at least in this form I could actually kill someone, something feline claws weren't very useful for. I lunged for Hoenheim, who was tied to a chair, but once I got close to him, I changed back into a cat. And in case you didn't know, if you're a massive dragon several feet above the ground and suddenly turn into a cat, you end up falling toward the ground. Luckily, I don't think I broke anything when I landed, though I was confused. I figured I got distracted, and focused on my dragon-like form.
However, nothing happened, but there was a woman standing over me, smirking. She put her hands down to grab me, so I stumbled backwards and ran toward the stairs. Though when I ran over the transmutation circle on the way there, I turned into a serpent again. The woman looked up my form and withdrew something from her pocket that was about the size of her fist and bright crimson(1). She held it above her head, chanting something I didn't understand.
I roared and attempted to swat her with my tail. However, before I felt the satisfying thump of my tail hitting her body, my tail was immobilized. I glanced at it, and it seemed the item she had in her pocket was some kind of yarn, which she managed to wrap around my tail. Her chant continued, and as she chanted, the yarn, on its own accord, continued twining itself around my tail. I roared again, louder this time.
~3rd Geno POV~
Blaze, half asleep, was quickly awakened by a very audible roar.
"Whatwasthat?" Charge mumbled, half awake.
"Aliens! They've come to suck our brains!"
"Marrow, enough with the conspiracy theories. They aren't true," Charge responded.
"Both of, you shut up. I want to see what's happening," Andro growled, pushing them both aside and head-butting the door open. He walked out of the room for a minute cautiously, gasped, then ran back into the storage room.
"There is a massive flying snake in the tower."
"It's an aile-"
"SHUT UP!" All the Genos filed out of the storage room and onto the balcony, and all were fairly interested in the fight taking place beneath them. The crimson thread was slowly creeping its way up the serpent's body, with glowing pink marks appearing on its tail. Despite the serpent losing the battle, the Genos didn't interfere. After all, humans were stronger and had guns.
It wasn't until Charge noticed a fairly familiar Geno in a cage on the ground floor that the woman with the thread had some significance.
"Rhea? They caught her? But I thought she got lost..." Blaze stammered, looking at the cat she regarded as a sister.
1- Ariadne's thread, from the Greek story about the Minotaur.
Envy: Remind me why you put random mythology references that nobody understands unless they study archeology.
Because I like to.
Blaze: ...that's not a good reason.
For me it is.
On a side note, reviews are appreciated.
