Chapter 4 Air Storm
Crimson patently waited for everyone to wake up before telling them the
ancient legend. They were. Her sister Ruby. A dragon, easily one of the
most powerful creatures on the planet. Eric the Sleeper who apparently was
the key to peace however weak he looked. Lightning the half Raichu, whose
electric power was only met by her temper. Blast the Blastoise who great
strength had saved her life once all ready and Ralph the half Ratatta, who
was apparently a expert with all machines.
She was quite happy with her self and smiled.
"Ok" she said as everyone gathered round "let me tell you why I woke Eric
up"
"Oh I know that!" said Ralph "it's because he's a Sleeper and according to
all the old legends only a Sleeper can hold the power of Earth, Fire, Water
and Air. But none has ever been able to hold all four before cracking up
under multiple personalities, but." he said before pausing for breath, Eric
had been listening to this and to put it mildly he was scared out of his
mind "the one who does will bring peace to the world." He finished. Eric
screamed
"I want my mummy" as he ran away into the desert.
"Look at that" said a amazed Blast "he going for the Pyramids of Air all
ready!"
"He is the One," said Lightning dramatically.
"Have you ever thought he might just be scared half to death?" said the
more sensible and less dramatic Ruby.
Ruby was right. For Eric the penny had finally dropped. He was the Sleeper. The One. The guy who would save the world and that's a lot of pressure to put on one person. "Why me!" he screamed out to the world in general. Kesavalon answered Because you're the only one who can "Who are you?" asked an extremely worried Eric. Worried the fact he WAS hearing voices I am Kesavalon, the Ocean of Knowledge and the Spirit Osprey. Which may not sound very scary but I am one the 4 Spirit Guardians. So do not underestimate my power mindspoke Kesavalon to Eric. Unknown to Eric Kesavalon had knocked out the others and put them in safe place. (The move is called "Kesavalon's I Don't Want To Be Interrupted Attack" if your interested. (Pow 1000. Acc 100. Never misses or kills)) "Powerful then?" asked Eric. Very he replied. "Just checking" Anyway you may be wondering why a being as powerful as me is talking to you. It's because. "You're the youngest spirit aren't you?" blurted out Eric when Kesavalon was mid sentence, almost deliberately saying spirit in the way that suggested spirit not Spirit. . Ok yes I am the youngest, but that doesn't me I am the weakest because I could take down Drantan without breaking a sweat ok! Mindshouted Kesavalon. "Never said you were," said Eric with complete honesty. Anyway were was I? Oh yes the reason I'm talking to you is because I want to give you a present to help with your quest to save the world "Cool is it a mirror that lets me see into the future?" No "A cloak of invisibility?" No it's something far more useful than either of them "Oh it's." started Eric but before he could finish a massive (and I mean massive) rainstorm came into being (in a desert as well, I know that sounds obvious with terms like Clan Nile and the Pyramids of Air but I just wanted to make sure you knew) "Cool a pocket thunderstorm" said Eric. Not quite mindspoke Kesavalon. About half a second latter a massive thunderbolt hit the ground in front of Eric scaring the hell out of him (well Kesavalon was rather annoyed with him at this point.) and went on for another 30 seconds and when it finished the storm just disappeared in seconds and left a axe. A big two-handed silver axe (red on the edge) with a black handle and a very sharp edge. It also had a very covenant chain on the handle's top to bottom. Meet the Axe of Choppiness Eric boomed Kesavalon in a rather dramatic voice (only in Eric's head of course) Eric then picked the axe up with both his hands and swung it left to right, then right to left and then he did a triple somersault ten feet in the air and then came down in half second chopping down with his new axe. Now you know why it's called the Axe of Choppiness for "Completely " said Eric as he put the axe on his back.
Crimson and the others came round just as Eric came over the crest of the dune in front of them. "Owe my head hurts" she said as she got up and rubbed her head. "JOIN THE CLUB" said Ruby in what she termed as loud voice, with the effect of making everyone's bad headaches worse. "Thank you Ruby for a considerate usage of volume" said Lightning in a sarcastic voice and at the same time gave her the harshest stare in all of recorded and unrecorded history. "Sorry" said Ruby in her quietest voice while thinking "I wonder if I could get anyway with eating her..." "Hey guys!" shouted Eric (coursing everyone to groan in pain at there headaches) "look what I got!" He said as he pulled out the Axe of Choppiness (now going to know as the Axe) "Theee the" said Ralph nervously "Get it away from me!" screamed Crimson with a look of pure terror on her face. "Why the big deal?" asked a confused Eric. "That axe, the Axe of Choppiness is a very powerful and EVIL weapon Eric" said Blast the only one in the whole group who wasn't scared half to death.
"Killer of Blaze the great Drake Lord" said Crimson. "Wielded by killer of the city of Alexander" said Lightning "One person killed a whole city?" asked a shocked Eric. "YES!!!" everyone shouted "That weapon should be destroyed" said Blast "In the Cracks of Doom in the depths of Orodruin, the fire-Mountain?" asked Eric. "Naa someone already tried throwing it in some volcano and it didn't work" said Ralph while he was playing around with some min computer built into his watch. "Oh well. it not going to try to take me over is it and turn me horrible wrath creature is it?" "It just. well. how can I explain this?" started Ralph. "It the beast within humanity's incarnate. It amplifies the worst parts of peoples natures " said Crimson "in the Book of Black Scale it is written that the Great Farther slew the creator of the axe, after being struck down by it. Only his great will let him rise again and strike the dark one down, after which his threw the axe down into a deep pit" "I never knew that Drakes had a religion." Said a amazed Lightning. "There is much your anger blind you too" said a confidant Crimson. "That what racism all about, lack of knowledge about other peoples. And fear of them" said Eric. "Ok! It not my fault I was brought up on horror stories where Drake's broke into peoples houses and ate them!" said a angry and upset Lightning. "Why brake into houses? The strongest always come out to fight you. Anyway were nearly at the Pyramids of Air so lets get going she shouted as walked steadily towards them. "Wait for us!" shouted Eric, Lightning and Ralph. "She does know it's enough mile doesn't she?" Blast asked Ruby.
After a while they finally stood outside the Pyramids of Air. They looked quite cool. There was five of them and they were black with a strange blue diamond tip tops which had dark blue lightning going from each one to the other four. The central one had a large door built into it. It was also dark and windy, even through Ralph's watch said it 3:04. "Hum. nice here isn't it?" asked Eric. "It all the air elemental energy here, it changes everything into a permanent storm." Said Crimson. "Anyway lets go into the middle one and let you acquire the power of Air" "How does that wor.". Eric was interrupted by the high pitched wail of the three advancing huge panthers that sempt to appear from thin air. Eric stopped, and analysed the threat that laid ahead of him, his eyes darting from panther to panther, his mind figuring out a plan to put them to an end, until his eyes met with one of the panthers. Eric froze; feeling helpless in front of the piercing eyes that sempt to be seeing into his very soul, their electric blue Irises crackling with static discharge. "Will tell you later" said Lightning as she pulled out her staff. "Try to keep out of the action Eric" said Blast as his cannons came out of his back and blasted one of panthers to pieces who had just tried to jump on him. "There's a reason why I was given this axe" as he charged forward and brought it screaming down on the skull of first panther that got in his way. "I hate cats!!" said Ralph as he shot a rain of bullets at another panther. It didn't die. "oh great.". This was serenaded by the half dragon drawing in a huge lung of air. Air which was soon to be the death of the approaching Panther. "FLAME!". With this, the dragon let loose a fountain of fire on the unexpecting powerless panther like creature, its screams of pain, the only noise coming from the ball of flame that engulfed it. Ruby then decided to finish the rest off "BLAST OF THE RED ONE!" as she collected an increasing amount of energy in her mouth and blasted it out in a solid red ball which when hit the ground blew up in a ball shaped explosion, annihilating the remaining twenty or so panther things in its red light. Ruby had a massive smirk on her face. "That little sister is how you do a proper flame" "Show off" was Crimson's reply. They all walked in the central pyramid. It all went black for Eric. Again.
Eric woke up and look around in the very black room he was in. there was a lion in the room, oh and some balls of yellow and blue lightning were hovering around. The lion was black and had a mane of crackling blue electricity. It's eyes were orbs of solid blue. "I guess you're Air then?" asked Eric. "Part of" it said "because there is air in everything" "You mean everyone's got bits of gas in them" "Not air.. AIR!" it shouted as Eric started to float upwards. Eric then started to scream as the balls of electricity started to hit him and his body started burn up with power.
Ruby was right. For Eric the penny had finally dropped. He was the Sleeper. The One. The guy who would save the world and that's a lot of pressure to put on one person.
