"Against all the evil that Hell can conjure,
all the wickedness that mankind can produce,
we will send unto them... only you.
Rip and tear, until it is done."
-King Novik, Doom Eternal 2020
Back in Hollywood, Aisha, asleep peacefully in her bedroom. The night sky was full of stars, lots of them. The girl started whimpering in her sleeping then grunted. She started sweating profusely along with panting. Grinding her teeth as well.
Aisha... Aisha...
She gripped on the sheets tightly.
"Who... who are you?..."Aisha muttered and soon found herself in a dark room, seen wearing the black droopy tutu dress from her hypnosis session. Long black wavy hair and her arms and legs were wrapped in translucent silk. Her large fairy wings fluttering behind her.
"Who's there...?" She asked softly.
"Aisha..." a whispered said and soon a bright light was seen out of the blue. Aisha immediately flew toward it. No matter how far she flew, it was like the light was moving farther away.
"Wait! Please.." She reaches her hand out as if she was trying to grab from afar.
Aisha, there is a task that is too far to take. You must take it slow and steady.
"Steady? I've fought so many enemies before I knew I was a princess. Why are you telling me this?! Who are you anyway?!" Aisha shouted in desperation. She flew steady and waited for a response.
I am here to warn you that the path ahead of you will be very dangerous. You will lose loved ones along the way if you are not a true leader.
"Leader? But I am a leader! I'm the leader of the Mayans! I'm the one that brings love! I'm the black Mayan of the black lion! The black flame that...makes the black fox roar..." Aisha paused and felt unsure what to say next to this voice. Her words were mixed up in her head.
Then tell me, Aisha, if you are the keeper of the black flame then why don't I see your flame?
Aisha arches a brow in confusion.
Aisha... you're not ready... to take this new power that I knew was passed down to many generations. I guess there's no other choice...
There was silence for a moment... until...
RIP AND TEAR!
A blast of fire hit the fairy and soon, she screamed in fear and toward death.
Aisha, back in the real world, was panting and sitting up on her bed. She looked around just to make sure she was in a safe place. She looked upon her hands, they were unburned. Soon she touched her body, making sure she wasn't burnt. Some of her hair was on her forehead due to excessive sweat. That dream felt so real and the fire... Normally, the fire never burned her, but this fire burned her and harmed her. Soon, she laid down and try to think back to her dream.
Rip... and tear... what is it? Is that the power the voice wanted to give me?.. it felt so powerful. More powerful than the Heart of Fire... nor my powers or anyone else's. Aisha paused in her mind.
True leader... what do I have to show that I am a true leader.. how?... Soon she went back to sleep after thinking of the voice.
Aisha, seen yawning as her palm was leaning against her cheek. Today was assembly day at Hollywood Acadamy and everyone was seen muttering at one another about this presentation is all about. The last presentation was interesting, someone from London introduced himself as a Holocaust survivor and his story was... too much to bear due to being too graphic. Some wept happened behind the auditorium, but this was something new. Out of nowhere, an eight and a half foot monitor lizard appeared, walking on all fours, hissing at the students with its red eyes. Some gasp or screamed or held on to each other. Aisha was amazed by the teal lizard, looking around as if it was looking for a good meal. Soon cackling was heard and the lizard went toward it, only to reveal a man in his late fifties; wearing nothing that looked like an altar of an Australian stockman, a brown Akubra hat laid on his head that had what looked like white crocodile teeth with its dark brown leather band decorated with a rare golden eagle feather. Around his neck is a dark gray backward-facing bandanna. He wears a brown vest over his cream shirt. Not to mention he had a horrible looking hooked-nose and it looked like wasn't really taking care of himself due to his pot belly of a stomach. He smiled as he pets his lizard.
"Haha, sorry kids, but Joanna here loves to walk around new places, makes her feel.. like home." Joanna was soon placed on the strange man's shoulder. Soon, he shook his head as if he did something wrong.
"Where are my manners! Kids my name is Percival C. McLeach! and I am a poa- Animal specialist!" Some of the students arched their brow in confusion. McLeach cleared his throat and continued his speech about himself, on a large projector behind him.
"As I said, kids, me, and Joanna are just friends, and here, we wanna let you know about the beauty of nature itself."
Yeah right poacher.. Aisha gives off a bored expression from her face.
"But, there is something I've had my eye on for a while now...and I'm determined to find it." In the last part of the sentence, he muttered and pressed the button, revealing a new slide. The students and staff gasp. Revealing a large eagle, but only a silhouette in the sky. Some students tilt their heads in confusion from the photo as the Mayans were whispering to each other.
"Hey Bestar, do you think that eagle even exists?" Miranda asked Aisha, but she was caught in the photo like it was calling her. Instead of answering her question, she shrugged in response.
"I've had my eye on that eagle for years now and I'm determined to find the last eagle in the whole world. They say she has a name, 'Harmonia' guardian of the sky..." Then things started to get weird.
"They say she's.. just a myth, but I saw her with my own eyes! There's no possibility that's no other eagle I just saw flying and when I get my hands on that eagle... then, I'll show it to the whole world that Percival C. McLeach isn't crazy!..." Soon he started cackling.
Unaware that McLeach was talking to himself with the students behind him, staying quiet and looking at each other, muttering. Just when he turned his head around.
"OH! You think I'm crazy right? Then I'll show you all.." The moment he finished his sentence, he grabbed a nearby students waterbottle, crunching it with one hand and the water splattering all over the floor, everyone gasp and held on each other. Sunny held on to Gwen while Kanou-a and his brothers held on to Aisha tightly. While the others just watch in shock.
"I am not crazy kids, remember that." Soon he dropped the crumbled bottle on the floor.
Principal Jones appeared, clapping.
"OK kids, that's enough with the assembly for today. Please return to your class and resume your studies and as always...GOO WARRIORS!" Jones was trying to calm down the students as they soon felt terrified of McLeach but soon left, in a hurry.
"OMG that guy was crazy!" TK pointed out and Kevin nodded.
"He was, and come on really! A giant eagle?" Ben joined the conversation. As the others were talking, Aisha was deep in thought. Something about that eagle made the hair in the back of her neck stood up. Soon she shook off the thought as the rest head to class.
With Sunny a new exchange student at Hollywood Academy, everyone looked at with amazement. She seems cute with her black space buns, but Gwen... she didn't like it, making Aisha and Miranda giggled.
As soon as the English teacher was about to take attendance, she was paused when a student, wearing semi-skinny black slacks, Black Nikes, over his uniform was a black hoodie with a purple tie exposed under his hoodie, on his head was a black cap and reflector sunglasses over his cap. Short and possibly messy brown hair was shown due to his bangs showing. His hazel eyes were staring at mostly at Aisha Blaire. The student gave his note to the teacher.
"Oh! Students! We have an exchange student from Canada!" The students in class muttered as Aisha and Miranda arched a brow. "Say hello to Ryan Mcleach, everyone!" The teacher announced.
The students greeted the new student but some muttered when they heard. 'McLeach'
"Can it be Bestar?" Miranda whispered.
"Nah, it can't be. Maybe it's a coincidence." Aisha guessed and rubbed her head. She too had this strange feeling about this Ryan McLeach.
"Alright Mr. McLeach, please sit behind... Aisha Blaire." The English teacher pointed out as Aisha waved at the exchange student. He soon walked toward Aisha and pass by her casually, sitting down behind her. Something about Ryan McLeach was gonna be interesting.
After class, everyone headed toward the cafeteria to have their usual snack break. Aisha, who is most excited about snack time immediately grabbed a PBJ (the strawberry one) while the Mayans grabbed their usual snacks (Miranda usually grabs her usual chicken strips and fries and sometimes shares it with her cousin) Just as Aisha left the register, she looked down at her sandwich and groaned.
"Oh man, I forgot to get a drink." She pouts as she turns her head as she tried to find any of her friends were still in line but none were seen.
Danmit Aisha thought. If only she wasn't so damn tired from last night's nightmare. Sadden at defeat, she went to the benches to meet up with the others. That's when she accidentally bumped into someone.
"Oh, I'm so sorry." Some of her hair covered her right eye, but her blue eye was showing. To the person in front of her.
Ryan McLeach.
The two stared at each other for a little while since the boy was most attractive with the crystal blue eye she has. He soon smiled and moved some of her hair away from her left eye, revealing the brown eye.
"You should watch where you are going, Miss Blaire." Ryan smiled. Ryan looked at Aisha's sandwich, only missing was a drink. Feeling sorry for the raven princess, he handed her the carton of milk.
"Here, needed one anyway. I got two chocolate milk by accident"
"Huh?" Aisha arched her brow in confusion.
With the milk in his hands, Aisha gradually takes the carton from his hand.
"Thanks." She muttered. Soon he walked away, leaving the girl alone in the cafeteria floor but resumed by walking toward her friends who were seen sitting and eating as usual, and during lunchtime, it was time to rock and roll again...with Heart of Fire.
With French class finally finished and of course an embarrassing moment that happened, but Ryan caught her on time. Ben, on the other hand, was in shock and growling in between his teeth. Aisha reassured that nothing is happening between her and the new student. Aisha, blushing out of her mind and concentrating on how to prepare for the upcoming concert.
As the instruments were being placed, Aisha was looking around in her book on what song to choose from but she found it too hard to choose since today's encounter with Ryan...twice... scratch that...three times.
Until she spotted one song that caught her interest, the bass sounded ok, especially the guitars, keyboard .. Omg it's perfect!
Guitar and bass were strummed, drums being banged and keyboard being tapped. Today's guest was TK, who knew how to play the key-tar. Albedo took the place as bass player. Tavo, Josh, and Kevin G. were in charge of their instruments. And soon the band was about to begin.
Ryan, who was still new to this school, took notice that a lot of the students coming out of their classroom like something was on sale. He shrugged and played some music from his headphones. He was gonna be the outcast of this school, might as well get settled with that title eventually. Having a father who was busy hunting and a pet who slithers away from him made him more unwanted yet his mind was off somewhere. He pulled out his phone, to reveal a picture of someone who caught his interest without her noticing.
Aisha Blaire. Seen talking with some students in French class. Though he cropped the students away from Aisha. It shows her smiling, being her cheerful self.
She's so out of my league. He thought. Soon, he found himself being pushed back with a bunch of students. He grunted and try to pull himself out but no success and soon found himself in front of the stage. Arching a brow, he soon stumbled upon Aisha Blaire, who casually walked on the stage and instead of wearing the usual high heel loafers. She wore her high top black and white converse. Her black hair that was once held up in a high ponytail braid was let loose and down. Ryan pulled down his headphones in shock and surprise. Was this really Aisha Blaire? He thought.
Soon, Aisha stood in front of the microphone.
"Hello, Hollywood Academy!" Aisha shouted out from the microphone as Kevin G. strum his guitar and the crowd screams. "I hope you all are having a good lunch because this is a special day for us! and by that, we help one another to make this world a better place; big and small." Everyone cheered again while Ryan stared at Aisha with amazement yet confusion.
"Hit it!" That's when Josh strum his guitar and Aisha started singing.
I love clouds, and the sun and trees
Love the smell of the ocean breeze
(Yeah, yeah)
As soon as she sang, she slowly took off her black vest and loosen her tie. Soon she was given a black sleeveless leather vest from Miranda, putting on the material, but kept singing.
I love the plants, and the grass and sun
Love to feel dirt in my hands
(Yeah, yeah)
But it's not enough to respect it
If you love the Earth
Then you gotta protect it
(Gotta protect it)
Ryan looked at Aisha with amazement, grinning and soon, he too was smiling as he saw Aisha levitating off the ground due to her magic, but landed safely on the ground.
You have the power to change the world
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
Power to change the world
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
And it's right in front of you
Every boy girl in the world
Has the power to change the world
Just plant a tree with your own two hands
And I know you'll understand
(Yeah, yeah)
Just turn the lights on when it's dark
Now's the perfect time to start
(Yeah, yeah)
And a little bit makes it better
There's a difference
When we do it together
(Do it together)
You have the power to change the world
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
The power to change the world
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
Later, she jumped over the crowd and landed safely in a black mana platform with a microphone in hand. Pointing at a bunch of students and on Ryan, who blushed like red.
And it's right in front of you
Every boy girl in the world
Has the power to change
And it's right in front of us
Every boy girl in the world
Has the power to change
The power to change the world
The crowd goes wild and Aisha stood up from the platform, smiling. Raising her arm up in the air, forming a rock sign and everyone cheered loudly. Everything was perfect until she groaned and held her head, dropping the microphone and sending off horrible feedback once it landed on the ground. Some students covered their ears while others watched and muttered what was going on. Ryan took notice of this was not part of the act and she was at least three or four feet in the air.
"Aisha!" Albedo shouted out from the stage.
"Her platform is gonna break dude!" TK shouted in fear. Mana tends to break if the loss of concentration occurred and Aisha did. The black platform broke into a million pieces and the raven gasp as she felt the whole world around her was in slow motion. All she remembered seeing her hand being raised up toward the sun as if she was trying to grab it. Soon everything became dark for the raven princess, unaware she was safely caught by Ryan McLeach. Cuddling her head and reassuring her she is safe.
So sorry for the long hiatus everyone. I haven't been feeling well from the past several months during the pandemic happened and I wasn't sure why. Met a new friend along the way to make sure I don't lose my sanity. And we've been talking since. :)
Sooooo, I resurrected a Disney villain from my Disney Vault. Percival C. McLeach and Joanna. Gotta love those two villains. My thoughts that McLeach might have survived the fall, stayed seclude, possibly had a son and now, he is trying to find the rare eagle. Harmonia.
So, who is Ryan McLeach? Possibly another competitor trying to win Aisha's heart.
Who knows, but this is gonna be intense.. (I think ^^;)
I'll keep you all posted
See ya!
