Well, after a long wait I finally have the next chapter done!



Chapter Eight- A First Threat



Still reeling from the other day's events I couldn't concentrate in school. The teacher asked me if my body was having a reaction to anything and I just shrugged. This went on for a few days. After about a week, I decided to go to the nurse and ask her if I could leave early because I wasn't feeling so good. She agreed and I walked home wondering what Krysta was doing. As I went to the back of the shed I saw that the door had been ripped off the hinges! I was starting to get that familiar feeling again. like this all is going according to the story. surely enough, Krysta wasn't in there, and a small piece of paper was lying there.

"I'll tell ya what. if you just tell us how you manage to bring your fantasies over to this world, we will release her. and you can enjoy what will be left of your life before OUR era begins! If you want to make a deal, bring that stone of yours with you to the High School gym by 10PM. We'll be waiting." the note read.

I was furious when I read it. I knew exactly what was happening and I knew how this was going to end. the worst part was, there was basically nothing I can do, except hope that a break in the line fantasy came in somewhere. You can probably guess how I felt the rest of the day, trying to not show that she was in trouble in front of my mother or brother. At around 8PM I got ready to go, I took the stone and placed it in my pocket. I then ran down to the school, not surprised to see the gym door open. I cautiously stepped in and saw Krysta, tied to the wall with a gag over her mouth.

"Krysta!" I yelled to her. She tried to reply but couldn't because of the gag.

"I see you came. just as expected." a voice said from the doorway. I turned around quickly and saw what seemed like three people standing there. Only. they weren't quite so human. One of them had what looked like a brown, shiny exo-skeleton and two giant claws on the top of his head. Another one has a large, creamy-white, hairdo, with nine cream-coloured tails sprouting from his backside. (bah, so lucky!) The third guy, was so bizarre looking I almost laughed. His skin was pinker than normal human skin and had strange markings all over it. But the strangest thing about him was the huge, 9-foot tongue hanging out of his mouth.

"Well, let's get down to business shall we?" the Ninetales morph said, "Tell me how you managed to do this to us and yourself and how we can change back. if you do I will release your girlfriend and let you two live happily ever after. if you understand what I mean. you see, once we know how to do this, we plan on getting ahem, "better jobs" than digging at construction sites. namely. using whatever kind of power you used to let's say. own the Earth? What do you say?

"How the Hell did you guys know that I did this?"

"I have my sources, trust me. Now, let us take it over. and you and your girlfriend won't be affected by us in the new world order. you have my promise!"

I was fuming. there was no damn way I could let these guys rule the Earth.

"Take that offer of yours. and shove it!" I yelled at them.

"Well then. I didn't want to do this but I have no choice now.", the Ninetales morph snapped his fingers and almost instantaneously, the Pinsir morph rushed up to me. He was so fast I didn't have time to think of a move before he managed to trap me in his claws. I could feel pain shoot through me as he slowly closed around my body, I could feel myself blacking out. I'm not sure exactly what happened then. but I must have let out a jolt of electricity in my unconsciousness, because the next thing I saw, the man was lying on the ground, having little spasms that normally occur after electrical shock.

"Agggh! Michael!! Help!"

I turned around to see the Lickitung morph wiping his tongue. on Krysta's face! Krysta was shivering from paralysis and couldn't move because she was still tied up. I felt a spear of rage run through me as I watched the person I cared about. the one I got to know so much about in just the past week and a half, slowly lose herself to fits of shaking and crying. I suddenly couldn't hold it any longer. I opened my clenched fist up and let out all my rage in the form of a giant ball of electricity. I flung it at the Lickitung morph and hit him right on his back, instantly paralyzing him to the point of collapsing on the ground. I quickly ran up to Krysta, untied her, removed her gag, and picked her up. She was still shaking violently. I was on my way out when I realized I had forgotten about the Ninetales morph. who was nowhere to be found. As I left the gym with Krysta in my arms I heard a distant shout.

"You may have beaten my fellow workers but you haven't beaten me! Don't think this is the last time you'll see us either! We'll be back. soon enough." To which I replied,

"Well then, I await your challenge. but leave my girlfriend out of it!" and I dashed out of the gym and towards home.

Everyone was asleep when we got there so I silently took Krysta right up to my room and let her rest on my bed. of course I had to clean all the Lickitung spit off her first! As she lie down she stirred and said to me,

"Thank you for rescuing me."

"No problem. honey."

"Beloved."

I leaned down to her and kissed her, long and passionately, then, slowly lie down next to her and held her close to me as we both drifted to sleep.
