Chapter 27: This Guy's Psycho And A Tragic Loss
"Where the Hell did they go? I can't see them, they just disappeared." Omega said.
"Did you get that feeling off the human, Bri-I mean, Omega, did you get that feeling of power from him?"
"Yeah." Brian said, nodding.
"I also felt it," said Draco, "it felt familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on it."
"Well, even though they were really weird, they seem like they know what they're talking about. I think we should go where they told us to." Brian said, nodding decidedly.
"I do not know about this, Omega," Draco said, "I am not quite sure if they are trustworthy."
"What about you, Julie?" Brian asked.
"I... I don't know, I'll go if you go, and I won't if you don't, okay? I can't make up my mind about them, part of me says I shouldn't trust them, and then part of me says I'm being an idiot and should trust them."
"I shall also go if you do," said Draco, taking his broadsword out and holding it in a ready position.
"Well, then we're going. This way," Brian said, and they walked off in the direction the man pointed.
A thousand feet later, they came upon a thinly wooded area and saw a man in a cloak doing something to a tree. "Yes, the first one goes here, soon they'll be all over the forest, and I'll let them off, and then my conquering of this world will start," the cloaked man said.
'This doesn't sound good,' Brian thought, then the man moved and Brian recognized a remote bomb planted to the tree! "You there," Brian shouted, "what are you doing with those? Who are you?"
The man turned, saw Omega, ripped off his cloak, and said, "I am Psycho!!! I'm taking over this world, and you can't stop me!!!"
Omega recognized Psycho from Daniel's description of him. "Wanna bet?" He said, rushing at Psycho.
"No, because you'd lose a lot of money!" Psycho shot back, concentrating and floating a few feet into the air.
"What the...?" Brian said, then ran at Psycho again, slashing at his body. Psycho simply floated upwards over the blade and kicked Brian in the face hard, knocking him over.
Draco had managed to sneak behind, and tried to stab Psycho in the back, but Psycho dodged it the same way as before. This time, he shouted, "Psycho Blast!!!" With outstretched arms and Draco went flying twenty feet back, into a tree.
'Telekinetic powers,' Brian thought, 'I'll have to be more careful.'
"My turn!" Julie shouted, jumping into the air so she was level with him and managing to stab him in the arm with her sword.
"You'll pay for that!!!" Psycho shouted, "Psycho Force!!!"
Psycho looked like he was in pain, his eyebrows were arched and there was a look of extreme concentration on his face. There was so much power that Brian could feel it orbiting around Psycho. A strong wind started to blow, circling around him. Rocks and sticks were caught by the wind, circling around Psycho also. Brian thought about what Daniel had said Psycho had told him, "you haven't even seen my true powers..."
"This is definitely not a good thing!!!" Brian shouted.
The look of concentration came off of Psycho's face, and he smiled evilly. "You don't know how right you are!!!" He shot back, "now, behold!!!"
Some of the rocks and sticks stopped orbiting around Psycho and flew at Brian with frightening speed. He managed to dodge a few, but they were too fast and there were too many to dodge for a long time, and a large rock hit him in the head and half-knocked him out.
Then he faintly heard a rustling sound, sounds of a struggle with several people, then faint voices, saying:
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes, he has to be stopped. And, after what you said, I know I'm just a freak that was created by accident. I don't belong anywhere. I'm just a freak..."
"Sometimes life sucks. Freaks can be good, too, take my advice. And, if you're going to do this for the right reasons, like you seem to be, you'll go a place where everyone belongs."
"I doubt there is such a place, but if there is, I'll be more than happy to go there. Get them out of here, I don't want anyone else to die."
Then there was a struggling noise, and Brian heard, even more faintly, Psycho saying, "let me go!!! It can't end this way!!! Let me go!!!"
"No. Your reign of terror is going to end."
Psycho sounded frantic, "you'll kill us both, you fool!"
"Believe me, you're the only one who cares." Then Brian passed out, and wouldn't remember the conversation he heard when he woke up.
He woke up with his head propped on a log, next to Julie and Draco. He was extremely dizzy and his head was aching hard. "Oh, you're up," he heard a voice say, and Brian saw it was the man from before, except he wasn't smiling, "good. Drink this," he handed Brian some purple liquid, "it'll help. My girlfriend was kind enough to make it before I left."
Brian drank it. It tasted like cotton candy, and it did make him feel better. He felt perfectly fine, and he didn't have a headache or feel dizzy anymore. "So," Brian said, "what happened after I blacked out?"
The man sat down next to him, "your friend Omega did something I'll never forget."
"Omega?"
"Yes. He died holding Psycho against his own bomb, while the timer that activated if nobody pressed the button ran down to zero, and the bomb exploded. There was a crater about thirty feet wide, which would have been wider if Omega hadn't used his body, and Psycho's, as a shield from the blast. And credit must be given to you, Omega, for stopping him when you did, or else he would have planted bombs all over the forest."
"He's... dead? How'd he even get out of my body?"
"Yes, he's dead. And I don't know how he got out of your body."
"Whoa. Can you take me to the crater?"
"I suppose. Thorien," he said, turning to the elf, who was sitting on a log nearby, "watch Julie and Draco, and when they wake up, tell them what's happened." Thorien nodded.
They walked for about five minutes, then they came upon a gigantic crater about thirty feet wide, like the man had said. "Hmm," the man said, noticing something, "the jewels survived the blast."
"What?" Said Brian, noticing the two jewels on the ground. Then he walked over to them and he could tell right away which one was Psycho's jewel, he just... felt it. Almost instinctively, he picked it up. Just like Tekno's jewel, a beam of light shot out of Psycho's and hit Brian's jewel, knocking him to the ground.
"HOLY CRAP!!!" Brian heard the man yell. Then the man ran over to him and said, "Omega, are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," he said. "Let's see..." he concentrated on Psycho's power, just like he had Tekno's, but nothing happened that he could tell.
But then he heard the man say, "um, Omega..." and Brian looked down at him. 'Wait a second,' he thought, 'I'm looking down at someone taller than me?' Then he looked straight down and saw he was floating a few feet off the ground.
"How the..." the man said, then, "I've heard your power is mimicking, correct?"
"Yes."
"That explains it a little. Come this way."
Brian decided to try out this new freedom of air without wings, so he floated beside the man as he walked over to Omega's jewel. The man turned to Brian and said, "please come down and help me. I'm going to give your friend a burial. He died an honorable death. It's the least I can do."
The man used his hands to dig, but then Brian used the Pokemon ability Dig, so it took about thirty seconds to dig a six foot hole. They put Omega's jewel in the hole and quietly covered it up. They walked back to the others in silence. Julie and Draco were awake.
"So," Omega said, "can you tell us who you are now?"
"Sorry," the man said, "not yet, not until you want to hire us."
"Hire you?" Julie said, "are you a merc?"
"That term has such a nasty sound," the man said, waving it away, "I prefer the real name for our job: mercenary-for-hire."
"Okay," said Omega, "so were you hired to let Omega die?"
"Of course not!!!" Thorien snapped at him, "he made his own choice..."
Julie said, "whoever you are, you seem to know more about us than we do. Where do we go now?"
"Through there," the man said, pointing to a Window at the edge of the small meadow, half hidden by the trees, "and we're supposed to see you all the way to a vehicle, and the mission's over. I thought it would be easy, but I'll never forget this mission... Anyway, as soon as you're ready, we can leave through there."
They didn't want to stay in this world anymore, so they all got up and went through the Window.
