Part XII
Amidst the mist
It was Saturday around nine in the morning; after Iris was captured Brandon and the gang set up a HQ in the forrest and began to search for her. "CJ I thought you said you could find her" Brandon said aggravated. "She isn't in my psychic range I can't sense her." "That or she is shielding her mentally so you can find her" Dylan replied. "Either way we need to hurry up and find her" Brandon said. "When is David coming back?" Dylan asked. "He went out to run around the area to see if he could find her, he's the fastest so it was safest for him to go" Brandon replied. "He should be back soonish hopefully" CJ said "Very soon" David said as he walked in "And before you ask no I didn't find anything" "Dammit where is she" Brandon said angrily. "Guys come see this" CJ said as he looked at the tv panels he had set up. "What is it" Brandon replied. "The screens are static I don't know whats going on" CJ replied. "Well fix it smartness" David said "Don't you think I'm trying to?" *Screen starts flashing random colors and emitting high pitched sounds* *All cover their ears* "Great now its making sounds" Dylan said. "Wait what was that..?" Brandon thought to himself. *Brandon slowly uncovers ears* "I knew you would be able to hear this frequency Lighting Boy don't talk just listen" *Brandon uncovers his ears completely* "I recognize this voice its the person that took Iris *Hair spikes up*". Brandon thought "Good you remember haha now listen I have your friend here alive for now and if you want to keep it that way you will come to these coordinates alone. If you even think about telling the others I will kill your friend with the quickness. If you aren't here in an hour she dies also. I'll see you then" *The noise stopped and the tv went back to normal*
"That was weird what happened" CJ said as he uncovered his ears. "Technical malfunction?" Dylan replied "Shut yo dumbass up Dylan" David replied. "Yeah he's right that wasn't just a malfunction" CJ replied. *Brandon remained quiet* "Brandon whats wrong?" CJ asked. Brandon was thinking about what was just told to him. "Brandon?" Dylan asked. Brandon thought of what he should do, it was obviously a trap but still Iris's life was on the line. "Hey Dumbass" David said as he smacked Brandon on the back of the neck. "I'm fine guys *He paused* I'm gonna go outside and look for clues you guys chill here" he said as he walked out the door. "He's acting funny" Dylan said. "Yeah to funny" David replied. *Brandon steps outside* "Don't worry Iris I'm coming for you" Brandon said as he began to walk towards the coordinates. "You're going to go go after her aren't you" A voice echoed in Brandon's head. "What the Black" Brandon said as he turned around to see CJ. "Don't worry Brandon we are speaking telepathically Mist won't find out" "How did you know? You couldn't of heard the frequency" "No I couldn't but I knew that what was going on wasn't just a tech error, and once those frequencies started happening I knew it was a message meant for you the only one who could possibly here them" "So still doesn't explain how you know the contents of the message" "I read your mind when you walked out" "Don't try and stop me CJ" "I'm not here to stop you I'm here to give you this" *Pulls out a sword in a sheath* "I made this sword especially for you" *Gives sword* "Wow thanks what do you mean this sword is especially made for me?" *Hooks sword on his back* "When the time comes you'll see, now go and save Iris" *CJ smirks* *Brandon smirks* "Alright I'm gone" *Turns around and runs towards the coordinates*
Brandon had arrived at the coordinates with a few minutes to spare. The location was a couple miles away from the HQ the others were at. "Where the hell are you! I'm here show yourself!" Brandon said angrily as he stood in the middle of the forrest waiting. *Figure walks out of the forrest* "Good you did what I said and came alone." Mist said. Mist had white hair with two black braids on the side. She had green eyes and was smoking a cigarette. Her outfit was the same as Meltdown and Violets but it was gray and black instead. She had a black necklace with white spikes on. "So your the one that took Iris from me *Electricity cracks* I'm only going to ask this one time *Hair spikes up* Where the hell *Aura turns darker* IS IRIS!" Brandon screamed. "O you look angry, well your not gonna like this answer then" Mist said with a smirk. "I killed her the same way I'm going to do to you". *Electricity cracks* "You killed her..." Brandon said with a small voice "Now I have to... *Eyes turn Black* KILL YOU" Brandon said an a malicious voice. Before Mist could reply Brandon was already behind her. "You're fast" She said in a scared voice. *Brandon punches a hole through her stomach* "AHHHH" Mist screamed. "You're *Coughs up blood* strong too" *Brandon runs lighting through his hand* "AHHHH" Mist screamed again "You're really strong" she said as she feel to the ground with a gapping hole in her stomach. *The lighting in Brandon's hand turns Black* "DIE!" Brandon said as he repeatedly stabbed Mist with the black lighting. *Hand touches Brandon on the shoulder* " Its okay you can stop now" a voice said. *Brandon turned around and the lighting in his hand went away* *His aura died down and his eyes went back to normal* "I...I...Iris you're alive" Brandon stuttered. "Yeah I was never in danger" she replied. "What do you mean you got captured by Mist she was going to kill you". "I had to say something to make you come" A voice said. *Figure walks up* "You!" Brandon said as his hair spiked back up. "Its okay" Iris said. "She is right, I am not your enemy." Mist said as she walked over to Brandon.
"How can I even begin to believe anything you say" Brandon flared up. *Mist points to Iris* "She's alive isn't she." Mist replied. "Fair enough what do you want" "To talk to you alone" she said as she looked at Iris. "Yeah I'm gone, I'll go make sure the others don't come looking for you" Iris said as she walked away. *Iris stops and walks back to Brandon* "Thanks for coming to rescue me" she said as she hugged Brandon and left. "You care for her don't you" Mist asked. "Never mind that what the hell do you want from me." "I'm here with a warning Lighting Boy" "About what" "The end of your world as you know it" "Okay you have my attention" "My name is Mist and I along with Plague, Meltdown, Violet and Midnight where sent to here to retrieve the Darkness Crystal and kill you" "I figured that much" "Or should I say that was there mission" "There mission" "My mission the one I gave myself, was to make sure He never got the Crystal and to make sure He is stopped...by you" "Bruh huh" "Lighting boy You where chosen by the Crystal to have this power and now you have to use it" "I've been using it to fight off you guys" "That is nothing compared to Him, they fought you because they were scared of him, they didn't really come at you with the malicious intent to kill" "The hell do you mean" "Just think how many times you or your Wind user friend should've died already" *Brandon stays quiet* "Plague could have easily used a stronger poison on you both, Meltdown could've melted your skin with that kiss she gave you, Midnight and Violet could have killed you and Iris way long before your friends came to help." *Brandon began to think about it all* "Okay maybe your right, but whats your point" "My point is you need to train in order to get stronger in order to beat Him" "Him Him Him Who the hell is HIM?!" "In order for you to know who he is, you must know who we are and why we ended up with him, *sits on the ground* take a seat" *Brandon sits beside her* *Mist takes out a cigarette* "Want one?" "No thank you, if my dad saw me with cigarettes he'd tornado kick the black off me" *Mist laughs* "You're pretty funny, don't ever lose that sense of humor Lighting Boy." "Thanks, now its story time" "Yes *Lights Cigarette* lets begin"
