Author's Note: Sorry this is taking so long to update, but no one is reading it so it really doesn't matter how long it takes me and Matt to write another chapter. Anyway, here's chapter 10.
Chapter 10: Mr. Really Evil Dude, sir
"Hey, Mr. Really Evil Dude, sir, I have a few quick questions." Liz said, flicking her hand. The creature stopped himself in mid-stride and looked at her. Matt did the same (stared at her), except he whispered, "Liz, what are you doing?"
"Stalling." She whispered back. "Anyway, Mr. Really Evil Dude, these questions. First off, could I have your name? See, I'm really opposed to being destroyed by someone whose name I don't even know. I know, crazy, but it's just the way I am."
The creature looked a little taken aback. "You mean you don't recognize me?"
Liz gave him the look usually reserved for her mother when she asked the same question five times in a row. The one with squinty eyes and furrowed brows. "Um, no. See, I wouldn't ask if I already knew the answer.
"I AM DONNOVAN, RULER OF CHAOS! PROPHECIZED TO COME AND DESTROY YOU, WHO WOULD DESTROY ME!" Donnovan roared, lifting his hands into the air.
"Donnovan. Right. Good evil name. Ok, next questions. A: ) Who do my friend and I look exactly like, and B: ) Why are we trying to destroy you?
"Liz, what are you doing? You're just making him mad!" Matt fussed.
"No, it's cool. I think he likes talking." Liz replied.
Donnovan was looking at Liz and Matt like they were crazy. "You seriously don't know who I am?" he asked them.
"Nope. Only as 'Donnovan, ruler of chaos, who must destroy us before we destroy you.' Which is really quite ridiculous, considering Matt and I can't even fly yet. Oh, and we know you as the guy who randomly attacked our friends." Liz said sarcastically.
"Um, well, I guess I have to fill you in.
Centuries ago, in the ancient British Isles, the Celts and Druids ruled the lands. In those days, pagan magic was real, and sorcerers and priestesses ruled. Wars broke out in the name of wood gods. At one point in time, a war broke out between two of the most powerful clan, and a sect of dark magicians. The battle raged for decades before the dark wizards were defeated. However, before the last of all evil wizards was killed, he prophesized his own return. Kneeling before the leaders of the clans, he said 'In centuries to come, we shall all be reborn, with powers beyond these which we have now. With the help of strangers from foreign lands, we will grow strong, until the time when the final showdown will occur and good or evil will dominate for all eternity!' With those words, the clan leaders struck his head off.
Now, I will tell you of these clan leaders. One was a Druid princess, ruler of Druids across the land. She was said to have the strength of Mother Earth in her muscles. The other was a Celtic lord, small in stature but with the power of the Spirit world running through his veins. Together, these two were unstoppable.
I tell this too you because you two are the chosen ones. You, girl, are the Druid princess reborn, while the boy next to you is the Celtic Lord. You look exactly like these. I know, because I was there! I was the wizard whom you destroyed! But now I will have my vengeance. I will make you pay for your sins!" With that, Donnovan launched himself at the duo, powering himself up.
"Well, I got my answers." Liz said, as she backed herself away from the now enraged Donnovan. She heard Matt cry out when Donnovan's first energy beam hit him, then she heard herself exclaim when one hit her. Barely keeping her balance, she saw Donnovan smile; without know what happened, she found herself slammed into a tree. Out of her peripheral, she saw Matt on a big rock. "Matt," she called hoarsely, "we have to do something."
"I know. We'll die if this keeps up. I'll try to power up and fire." Matt replied.
"Yeah, me too." Liz said. But before either could do anything, another sonic wave hit them. Liz saw red in her eyes. Forcing herself to focus, she saw Donnovan floating above them.
"So, Princess, not too cocky now, are we? Mother Earth indeed. And you, my Lord, no energy today, eh? You two are no threat to me!" Donnovan laughed maniacally, and then preceded to shoot them with whatever attack he had.
Liz felt the world go black around her. Oh Kame, this cannot be happening, she thought to herself, Matt…
Suddenly, somewhere deep in her subconscious, she became aware of an energy, and energy she had never had before. It filled her up, and the world became clear again. She stood up, strong as ever, and looked around in surprise. Matt was up too, looking just as confused as her.
"NO!" Donnovan screamed. "YOU'VE DONE IT! I MUST FINISH YOU OFF BEFORE YOU REALIZE WHAT HAPPENED!" (Ok, Donnovan's not the quickest bad guy in the world. He really needs to learn when to keep his thoughts to himself. )
This screaming shook Liz out of her daze. Squinting up at Donnovan, she said, "You suck." And fired a huge-ass energy ball at him.
"Ditto." Matt said as he fired his own. Both hit right where aimed, and Donnovan reeled backwards. "NO! YOU'VE DONE IT! AND I COULDN'T FINISH YOU OFF!" (he's really not that bright at all.) Donnovan took off, then turned around again. "I'll be get you two, and your little friends too!" With that he flew away.
"Random." Liz said. Then she began to feel a little woozy. She turned to Matt. "Hey, what do you think…" she got that far before the energy left her and the world went black again.
