Of Good and Of Evil: The Final Stand

Chapter 6 – The Spirits of Flame and Water

When the quake's cracks were mere inches from the table the munks were hiding under, the six chipmunks began to scream in panic. The cracks from the middle of the room formed a small hole in the middle of the household, and as the cracks grew further, the bigger the hole was becoming.

"Quick!" Simon shouted, his voice nearly overwhelmed by the sound of the cracking house. "We have to find a way out of here!"

He and Jeanette quickly climbed to the top of the table, quickly followed by Alvin and the others, pulling each other up onto the top of the table as the hole was now as big as a small pool. The cracks were just below the legs of the table as they jumped across to the den, hoping they would avoid the quake.

But, where would the fun in a sci-fi story be if there wasn't going to be any supernatural activity?

As the six chipmunks dashed onto the sofa, a pair of glowing, slimy turquoise tentacles suddenly rose from the hole as wrapped themselves around Simon and Alvin, catching them off guard as the two brothers were being pulled down into the hole in the middle of the room.

"Alvin!" Brittany screamed, clutching her paws tightly around her counterpart's arms. Jeanette followed suit as she struggled to keep Simon from being pulled in.

"Hang on you two!" Jeanette shouted, pulling Simon harder, gaining more support when Eleanor wrapped around her waist and began pulling as well. Brittany could feel that Theodore was trying to do the same thing, and the four chipmunks began pulling as hard as their little bodies could.

"Guys, forget about us!" Simon shouted, planting his paws on Jeanette's, convincing her to let go. "Get out of here while you still can…"but Simon's words were caught short when Brittany let out an angry cry as she tugged Alvin harder, gaining some ground.

"We've already lost two munks from a hole!" Brittany yelled, tears forming in her eyes as she gritted her teeth while keeping her pull on Alvin. "I don't want to lose another… even if he's a total ass!"

"Gee… uh… thanks, Britt…" Alvin mumbled, slightly confused at the chipette's statement.

The hole in the middle of the room then began shooting out beams of light the same color as the tentacles, with a loud rumble emitting from it as the quakes began to double their magnitude, widening the hole as the tentacles began to strengthen their pull on Simon and Alvin.

"Oh come on!" Eleanor growled, feeling her feet slowly slide toward Jeanette as her foothold on the sofa begin to loosen.

"Hang in there guys!" Theodore shouted, his arms beginning to slip on Brittany's pink tank top.

"Like we have a choice, Theo!" Alvin shouted as the force of the pull began to increase, making the pulling chipmunks groan in pain as they felt their arms stretch from the opposing force. The cracks on the floor consumed the entire living room, the hole now as wide a Jacuzzi fit for six people as the quakes roared toward the den, the cracks slowly but surely following suit.

"Holy nuts!" Alvin shouted as he looked at the collapsing floor. The tentacles were pulling so strongly that, through the help of the cracks, they were able to push the sofa the munks were standing on closer to the gaping blue-green mouth that hungrily awaited them.

"This isn't good! Let go guys!" Simon shouted, his eyes widening as he say a torrent of energy begin to seep from the hole, crawling all over the floor. Two more tentacles slowly began emerging from the hole in the room, making the munks gasp in panic as the two abyss-born appendages began to crawl toward them.

"Oh, nuts!" Brittany squealed, beginning to lose her grip on her counterpart's waist. "As if things couldn't get any worse!" The sofa legs then began to give way to the force of the tentacles' pull as it began to sink into the cracks on the floor.

Apparently Brittany's little phrase jinxed the whole thing…

"Oh, great job with your blabbering mouth Britt!" Alvin yelled, raising his arms up in the air in exasperation. "You've officially made this the worst rescue attempt ever!"

"You know I might as well let go of you, Seville!" the pink-clad chipette retaliated as she was also feeling the sofa slip beneath her feet. "You… are… absolutely… heavy!"

"Whoa, careful there Britt!" Alvin pleaded, laughing nervously. "Let's not get too pissed off, shall we?"

When the chipettes and Theodore began to tug harder at the two endangered chipmunks, the strengths of their pulling turned out to be at equal with the tentacles, making it a total stalemate. A stalemate, however, with the sofa now less than six feet away from the enlarging hole now in the very middle of the house; the cracks striking every bit of the house at a faster rate as the hole began to increase in size.

Suddenly, loud thunder began to boom outside. The cracking ceiling pushed down slightly as the thunder began echoing through the afternoon sky. Red lightning flashed from the sky and toward the garden outside the house, making the chipmunks panic as they tried to keep their grip on the two brothers.

"Great!" Brittany spat, tugging harder at Alvin's hoodie. "First the earthquake, then this friggin hole with the weird tentacle thingies… now this? You've just made my day, Seville!"

"Oh shut up and pull harder, Britt!" the red-clad chipmunk countered, his paws managing to grip on Brittany's sleeves. The thunder and lightning began to roar fiercely outside as the red lightning began striking randomly toward and around the Seville household.

"This is totally screwed up!" Eleanor screamed as tears about to leak from her eyes.

"Where's Dave when you need him?" Theodore yelled, tears falling freely from his eyes as he gripped onto Brittany tighter.

"Just keep pulling, guys!" Jeanette squealed, gritting her teeth as she struggled to pull harder.

A sudden clap of thunder and a streak of silver lightning swept just over their heads, and Alvin and Brittany swore they heard a voice echo when lightning shot past them.

'Let go…' it resounded, its voice calm, soothing and very familiar as it breezed their ears.

"Did you hear that?" Brittany asked, looking directly into Alvin's amber eyes, making her blush lightly as they looked away from each other.

"Hear what?" Theodore inquired from behind, confused.

"Max's voice… I heard it too!" Alvin responded, looking up and noticing the bright silver lightning that struck among the red flashes of electric light.

"Look! That lightning bolt over there's silver!"

"Now's not the time to make irrelevant observations, Alvin…" Simon retorted, feeling the pull of the tentacles strengthen. "Worry about what's happening now!"

'Let go, Alvin… Simon… let them go…' the voice continued to echo, the pull of the tentacles around them growing even more powerful with every echo.

"Was that Max?" Simon finally asked, hearing the voice enter his head.

"Finally! You heard him to!" Alvin sarcastically shouted, rolling his eyes.

"You've been hearing his voice the whole time?" he asked, his eyes growing wider through his glasses.

"We heard Christie's voice too!" Brittany shouted, giving him a glare. "And you said we were crazy…"

"Okay, I admit we were wrong! But what does he mean by 'let go'?"

"I don't know!" Eleanor suddenly chirped, "But we have to do something! My arms are already getting tired!"

"Whatever it is…" Jeanette mumbled, a little nervous. "I hope we know what we're doing…"

"What do you mean by that, Jean?" Simon asked, suddenly turning toward the lavender clad chipette.

Without a word, Jeanette leapt off the couch, Eleanor suddenly letting go in shock, and landed onto the tentacle wrapped tightly around Simon.

"What are you doing?" Simon half-yelled, surprised at his counterpart's actions as she wrapped her arms him, making the tentacle pull back to the hole in the middle of the room; their siblings screaming their names in panic as the pair was about to vanish from their sights.

"I'm trusting my sister's words!" She screamed, and with that, the bespectacled pair vanished from their sights.

"Simon!" Alvin yelled; his eyes wide with fear and worry.

"Come on!" screamed Eleanor as she pushed Theodore and Brittany off the couch and jumped onto Alvin's tentacle, following them into the deep abyss.

All six munks let out screams of terror as the light below them began to consume them as it began splitting into six orbs of six different colors; each orb was now glowing their respective chipmunk's signature colors as a golden wind began hugging them, calming their panicking hearts as the abyss had now become a star-infested sky. A soft, nostalgic and feminine voice whispered to their ears as they closed their eyes, hugging back at the gold-glittered winds that had calmed the storms of their hearts.

'calmai vostri cuori,miei cari...tutto andràbene' the voice whispered, her calmness and gentleness opening the eyes of the chipettes.

"C-Christie?" they chorused, their eyes now streaking with tears that floated in the space around them as they floated across the vast void of gravity-free space.

'Si...miè...esseretranquillo...perché io sonoconvoi ora' she responded, making her sisters smile from ear to ear as more tears flowed from their eyes, their hands holding onto the necklaces their parents had given them when they were born. They were the very last memento of their parents and symbol of their bond as sisters.

"She's really here…" Eleanor sobbed happily as each chipmunk entered their respective orb of their respective signature color.

What they saw next was sheer blackness… the sky had now become starless as they flames of their hearts were now to be tested as they united with their obs.

"And now…" Max's voice echoed through the blackness as a streak of silver lightning broke through the pitch darkness.

"The final six guardians are assembled. Let the soul transference… COMMENCE…"

*With Alvin*

Alvin's orb was glowing iridescent red, as waves of fire flared from its center like a sun that had transformed into a red giant as he entered it.

"Whoa, where the heck am I?" he asked himself as he scanned the interior of the orb. It was as if he was inside a grand hallway made entirely of crimson red flame; from the pillars that lined up to the pair of thrones that suddenly emerged at the end of the hallway. He landed casually on the flamed carpet as his curiosity told his body to walk toward the two thrones ahead of him.

"This is so cool!" He grinned to himself, "it was like it was made for me…"

"That's technically the very reason why we brought you here, Alvin…" A voice suddenly interrupted him, catching him completely off guard as he looked at the throne room to see a chipmunk and chipette sit comfortably on the burning thrones that now stand in front of him.

"Who the heck are you two?" He suddenly blurted out angrily. "Where the heck am I and how the hell do you know my name?"

"Ever the evident fire-type, aren't we Alvin?" The chipette giggled, looking at him with her burning orange eyes.

"Ha ha…" the chipmunk beside her replied, "true, he may be a newbie… but I can see much potential from this kid…"

"Okay, enough with talking to yourselves!" Alvin spat as he glared at them, crossing his arms. "You two munks still didn't answer my question… who the hell are you two and how the hell did you know my freaking name?"

"My, my… a hasty one, aren't we?" the chipmunk laughed, smiling lightly.

"Come now, DJ…" the chipette cooed, "let us be formal with our introduction, shall we?"

With a nod, the chipette and DJ stood proudly from their thrones and walked down the steps as they looked directly at Alvin.

"My name is Teresa…" the chipette introduced as she gave a little curtsey. "It is an honor to meet at last Alvin…"

Teresa was wearing a thin orange suit of armor. There was a cut in the armor from just below her chest that revealed her stomach and well toned body, and the rest of her armor was an armored dress that covered until just above her knees. She was well fit with her body and armor as she stood at the same height as Alvin. She had tan brown fur and her burning orange eyes as her long hair was tied in a braid.

"And this chipmunk beside me…" she continued, "is DJ, my long-time friend and companion…"

DJ had dark brown fur compared to Teresa, and instead of a bright orange, DJ's eyes were burning bloody red as his face was smirking devilishly at Alvin. Like Teresa, he also stood at the same height as Alvin, and even had his messy hair. He was clad completely in light ruby red armor that looked like it was a shirt rather than armor. There was a small padding on each of his shoulders, elbows and knees. He had a cocky look on his face as he revealed a scar on right above his left eye.

"My name's David Jason…" DJ introduced, "but you have to call me DJ… I hate my name and always have. For a number of reasons, I'd prefer you use my nickname…"

Alvin released the breath he didn't realize he was holding as he loosened his arms and looked at the two chipmunks standing in front of him.

"Okay… so now I know your names… now I wanna know how you know mine…" he sighed as he tensed under his breath.

"Alright… we'll tell you…" Teresa giggled as she rolled her eyes playfully.

*Meanwhile, with Simon*

Simon's orb was similar to Alvin's. Only, his was a bright cerulean blue that looked like a giant ball of ice that leaked out floating streams of water all around it.

As he entered the orb, he saw the similar hallway, with ice pillars that sustained it with fountains and two parallel streams of water that flowed toward a pair of icicle thrones that began to form ahead of him.

"Whoa…" the bespectacled chipmunk gasped in awe, taking interest at the walls around him. He examined every bit of the hall with great interest as he studies the intriguing symbols on the pillars.

"Quite interested at the symbols of the ancients, aren't we Simon?" a voice called out, dragging Simon's attention toward the two thrones ahead of him.

There was also a chipmunk couple sitting comfortably on the two royal chairs, as if they were formed from the streams of water. The two chipmunks descended from their thrones and approached the bespectacled chipmunk, their eyes locked firmly at each other as the two armor-clad chipmunks smiled at him.

"What-who-who are you two?" he gulped nervously as he adjusted his glasses.

"My, my Simon…" the chipette giggled, "there's nothing to feel nervous about… we're all about the fun flow of things here."

"Angel's right, Simon…" The chipmunk next to her continued. "We're all about flowing with the interests this universe. So, interests interest us. It's only natural, don't you think?"

"Um," he mumbled nervously as he looked into the glowing blue-gray eyes of Angel. "Forgive me for acting rude, but… who are you two and how do you know my name?"

Angel lightly giggled as she kept her eyes away from the bemused bespectacled munk.

"Oh yes, how rude of us…" Angel then gently curtsied as she introduced herself.

"My name is Danielle Angel … but you may call me Angel…"

Angel had long black hair that strode along her dark fur, as well as her glowing blue-gray eyes covered well with blue-gray eye shadow. Like Teresa, she had armor that halved along her mid-section, revealing her stomach and had an armored dress that covered up to just above her knees. Only, while Teresa's was in orange, Angel's armor was bright cerulean.

"And my name is Aaron… pleasure meeting you, Simon…"

Aaron had glowing aquamarine eyes and messy maple brown fur and hair. His turquoise armored suit was similar to that of DJ's, only Aaron's had broader shoulder pads and looked more like a polo shirt than a suit of armor, and his leggings looked more like pants, making him look the most "normal" among the four of them.

"H-how do you know my name? And what is this place?" Simon asked, now feeling slightly comfortable with the two other chipmunks with him.

"This is the hall of transference…" Aaron answered, gesturing to the entire hallway. "Your siblings have also been put into similar chambers to meet with your masters."

"Um, okay…" Simon mumbled, clearly not understanding what Aaron meant. "Before I ask again, how did you know my name?"

Aaron chuckled lightly at that point.

"Very well… if you must know…"

Aaron then took a deep sigh before continuing, his face lowered from a smile to a slight frown.

"We got your names from your brother, Maximiliam Anthony Seville…"

*With Alvin*

"What?" he yelled at the top of his lungs. "Max told you about us?"

Teresa giggled lightly before continuing. This time her face was rather serious as she looked into Alvin's amber eyes.

"Yes, Alvin. Max told us all about you, your brothers, the chipettes, your foster father Dave… EVERYTHING…"

"But why would Max reveal so much information to you?" Simon asked, his eyes looking at Aaron with total disbelief.

"Long ago, we had a friend of ours who looked exactly like you brother, Simon…" Aaron replied. "He told us of a vision that visited him. He saw your brother when he was a toddler, his silver color being his unique identity. But what he also saw were the auras that he, you and your brothers, and as well as the chipettes, emitted whilst you were still in your mother's womb. He told us that there was greatness within all of you… Max especially. So, he called him and his mate, Christie, toward this very abyss. Here, they were given the gifts they now posses. One of them was the ability to communicate to you, his brother, and Christie's sister, Brittany."

"But why were they the first to be 'chosen'?" Alvin asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Because…" DJ continued, "Our friend saw the most latent potentials emit from your eldest siblings. He needed them to act as bait. That way, when they were learned enough and had enough training, they would attempt to call you and…"

"Lure us to this place…" Simon finished, closing his eyes as he released an exasperated sigh.

"Exactly…" Angel answered in sing-song tone.

"So, who exactly are my masters?" he asked, trying to change topic. "And how is this 'transference ceremony' supposed to work?"

With that, the couples' faces then turned to small smirks as a sealing circle formed below them, trapping Simon right in the very middle of it.

"Hey! What's going on?" He shouted, starting to panic.

"You see, Simon…" Aaron grinned at him.

"We're your masters…" Angel continued.

"And the transference ceremony goes like this…" they chorused as a rush of water began enveloping Simon.

Likewise, Alvin was trapped in the same manner and was bound within a torrent of unquenchable fires. The intensity of the heat began to surge through every nerve of Alvin's body. Alvin began to yell out in pain as his eyes began to glow a fiery red and his hoodie beginning to burn off him, leaving only his orchard brown fur to cover him as the flames began to enter his body.

Simon, in turn, was being drowned by the torrent of water that suddenly encased him. His breathing became almost difficult as he began choking on the liquid as his eyes began to glow bright cerulean blue. Bright blue were his veins and nerves as the water began to surge throughout his body.

Both chipmunks' eyes were glowing brightly through the respective elements they were trapped in. Their bodies were now motionless, twitching every now and then, as if they were epileptic while their prisons began to shrink in size while the two chipmunks absorbed them. When their prisons vanished, they collapsed to the ground.

Silence.

And when they opened their eyes, they only say the one chipmunk they thought… knew and believed… to be DEAD.

He was clad in a silver armored robe. His eyes were glowing heavenly silver as his clean and fixed hair was the only different in his nostalgic demeanor. His crispy brown fur, height and smell were the only things familiar to the two confused chipmunks as they stared at him blankly.

"Congratulations, you two…" he spoke happily, extending his paw. "Now, come… and join me… in the light…"

The silver-clad chipmunk then began to vanish into sparks of silver lightning, triggering the nostalgic memories of the two now still chipmunks as they extended their paws to the sky at the same time.

"M-Max?"

And CUT! So, how was it?

Review pls.!
