Tauria: Yay! Another chapter of Chosen For Evil!
Cole: -_- I hate you Tauria.
Chiro: Why do you hate Tauria?
Cole: I do not like my back story! It's stupid and it doesn't fit me!
Chiro: o_O Um . . . . okay then . . . please continue, and remember! Tauria owns nothing but the plot and the OCs, or in this case, OC.
Chapter Twenty
With Chiro and Cole
Chiro's P.o.V
I didn't feel safe hidden in the Alchemist's lab . . . I felt that something was going to go wrong. I wondered if I was going to miss . . . or if he was going to capture me . . . I didn't know . . . And I didn't like this feeling. I mentally sighed, and then clutched the tranq gun tighter. I mentally went over Cole's powers in my head. He could mimic my powers, but turn them into darker, more powerful energy. He could fly, and he could shoot dark energy. I frowned. This was going to be hard . . . And something just didn't seem right . . . There was something missing. But what? What could I be missing?
I went over my plan again. I saw a lot of holes, a lot of ways it could go wrong. But those were because a lot of my plan relied on chance . . . I still didn't see the flaw my instincts named. What could it be? Why were my instincts nagging at me? Why? I let out a sigh. There was no point in going over and over this in my head. I will just have to toughen up, and go ahead with my plan.
I closed my eyes and meditated a little, calming my mind and body. If I was all tense up like I am now, I would definitely miss. I needed to calm down, and trust in my training with the monkey team. That's what I needed to do . . . as long as I trusted in that . . . I'd be okay, right? Right. I opened my eyes and started paying more attention. Cole would be here any moment now.
Cole's P.o.V
I finally defeated the darn birds, and began tracking Chiro's footprints to a . . . random lab in the middle of a forest? I blinked and shook my head. This must've been the Alchemist's labs those cybernetic rats were talking about while I lived there. I entered. Supposedly, this is where the monkeys were created, and if my brother was to be believed, where Antauri was reborn. It was also where Skeleton King was created, if I had heard the old man right. I looked around. There was no way my tracking power would work in here without me looking like a complete idiot.
I smirked cockily. There was no way my brother could stop me. I don't know why he led me here. There was no way he could possibly stop me with any of the weapons that resided in here. I shook my head. My brother was a fool. I was glad I was not ordered to give him a chance to join us. I took a deep breath. I thought about what gave me my non-Skeleton-King-given-powers. Antauri had gone on and on about something called the Power Primate everyday to the team and Chiro. I listened only to see if I could gain any information to help me. From what I'd heard I assumed, Chiro's green monkey form he had use earlier was the Inner Primate.
My powers were also Power Primate sourced. Before I met the Skeleton King . . . I had been on a path to . . . dare I say it . . . good. I had studied with the Varon Mystics. I had truly regretted what I had done back on Shuggazoom. As I had studied, I had heard about the two prodigal students, Antauri and Mandarin. Apparently, Mandarin had joined with the dark force of a prophecy. Antauri had kept with the light side, and apparently began training the Chosen One, the one destined to end the dark force, and be the most powerful with the Power Primate, and as he did that, the old leader, Master Xan, had turned against us. I remembered that day well, though I got no glimpse of the heroes, only hearing whispered tales, and a rumor I was desperate to seek the truth about.
I went to the leader of the Varons. I asked him if I could have permission to visit Antauri. I wanted to gain more training, that he could possibly have given me. He agreed, although I cannot recall what he said, and I set out, although most of my journey is lost to my memories now. I was captured by Skeleton King, and he showed me my true purpose. What I should be doing. I became his willing pupil. He trained me in all that I needed to know to be of the best use to him. Still . . . part of me said that that wasn't my purpose . . . that I should have stayed good . . . that I should have been true to my training . . .
I shook my head of the memories. Now was no time to be nostalgic. I explored the lab, and then somebody jumped out at me. It was Chiro! I blinked. I frowned. He was carrying a tranq gun. He fired, and I mimicked the power. A more powerful, dark blast hit him, and then a less powerful, not dark blast hit me. The whole world went dark.
With the Monkey Team and Allies
Antauri's P.o.V
I sensed that Chiro was worrying over something as I sat in the Brain Scrambler. He seemed to be second guessing himself. I continued to fight, well, more of pressing buttons that shot weapons at the enemy. For fifteen minutes, Chiro seemed to be over thinking, and trying to figure out something he missed. Then, he seemed to realize that this was getting him nowhere. He began to do half-meditation. He stayed aware, but traveled within to calm himself. I gently pushed some extra hope, and courage, and belief into the boy's mind. He seemed revitalized and waited for Cole.
As I fought, I thought about something that had been bothering me for quite sometime now. The new master of the Varons had called one day, asking if he could send one of his students for my training. I had agreed, and had been expecting him. Then, the master had called again, and told me that they had lost contact with him around a sector near Skeleton King. We had been near there, and we looked, but found no one. Not even Skeleton King. I wondered what ever could have happened to him . . .
Then, something happened. Chiro had apparently executed his plan, and he had been injured. I notified the others. I asked the Robot if he could fight the Formless while we rescued Chiro, and he agreed. Then, we set off to find Chiro and Cole.
Tauria: Hm . . .
Cole: SEE! BAD BACKS TORY!
Chiro: Cole, your backstory is fine. It fits you fine! However, I am not sure where Tauria is going with this. Tauria?
Tauria: I have a point with this, I promise you I do. I just . . . only have the first half of the next chapter planned out. If all goes right, I am going to end Chosen For Evil on the next chapter, that I want to get posted today. But I'm stuck.
Chiro: As to whether or not Cole will revert back to his old self, the Varon Mystic self, I mean?
Tauria: Yep! Any suggestions would be nice.
Cole: OOH! OOH! I GOT ONE! How about . . . I STAY EVIL?
Tauria: Shush Cole. Now, one or both of you please send us off.
Chiro: Don't you have an announcement?
Tauria: OH YEAH! I do. I am not going to do the poll that I said I was going to do. I changed my mind. Mainly because I narrowed down the choices to the above ones.
Chiro: Okay. Now . . . Please leave a review!
