Earth Warriors

Jester: ThanX fer all the reviews!! And for those who keep reviewing!!

~~begin chapter~~

Spike and Will ran into the Frost Leprechaun camp shouting hellos. Two boys with silver/white hair ran to them.

"Oi! 'Ey mates! How are ya?!" One with spiky hair (though not as outrageously spiky as Spike, just a little shorter than Spike's hair which is like five inches long!) said running to greet the two Forest Leprechauns. The Frost Leprechauns had-what the girls' perceived as- English accents.

"Not bad! Guess what?!" Will said excitedly.

"What?" the other said, this one had straight hair like Will. Will motioned behind him slightly with his arm, not turning to the girls. The two leprechauns looked past him and saw the girls standing there, their eyes widened.

"Humans? Oh my Guardian!" The Frost Leprechaun twins exclaimed and rushed over to the girls.

"Hello! I'm Jude Jaden!" the spiky haired kid said. (oh like y'didn't know I was gunna use Jude as a name? If y'read me other stories **hint hint** you'd see that I like to use characters that Jude Law played, okay it's mainly Road to the Legion…no it is JUST Road to the Legion and this one.) He shook each of the girls' hands.

"And I'm Brendan Jaden, Jude's twin brother!" the other said shaking their hands as well. (Yes I named him after Brendan Fraser!)

"They almost look just like Spike and Will," Katrina whispered to the girls. "Except they have white/silver-ish hair and pale blue, almost silver, eyes."

"Yeah, kind of like my eyes in winter," Artemis said. Everyone looked at her in shock. "What? It happens to me. When the seasons change so does my eye color. In summer it's green, in fall it's brown, in winter it's silver and in spring it's blue."

Every girls' mouth gaped then they said in unison-

"My eyes do too!"

Artemis's eyes widened at this. Everyone looked at each other, shocked. This was really strange indeed. A sign, perhaps, that showed they are who the animals thought that are. Was it fate or coincidence? If it was coincidence then quite the coincidence it was, an uncommon, no, a RARE very rare factor of genetics in their traits that connected the girls, something that they had in common, something no other human had. The real problem is-what are they going to put as eyes color on their driver's license? What'll happen if they're pulled over and they don't have their eye color right?? That poses a problem…but anyway back to the story…

The Frost Leprechaun twins brought them out of their shock.

"Hello? Anyone alive?" Jude said, sitting on Brendan's shoulders so he could wave his hand in front of their faces. He was in front of Terry when she flinched back into reality and took a step forward to balances. Jude Yipped in surprise but Brendan howled for Terry had stepped on his foot. Terry realized what she had down and stepped back immediately but Jude and Brendan fell back like a mini leprechaun tower and crashed into Selena. Brendan hit the back her knees causing them it bend but Jude hit her back sending her forward into Katrina, who knocked into Ashleigh, who knocked into Lyra, who knocked into Ava who knocked into Jenia, who knocked into Artemis, who knocked into Terry who knocked back into Selena, who was just getting up.

"Owww…" the girls said in pain together. They then all got up and saw Jude and Brendan on the ground side by side, with knocked out shocked/dizzy looks on. (y'know the spirals, well it would be like that if this were cartoon @.@)

"Domino effect, um, dude, little people…er…you alright?" Jen asked, using her foot to poke the twins' arms and legs. Spike and Will, who had witnessed the whole thing, ran up laughing hysterically, but they calmed down enough to say-

"Uh, we gotta go, hehe," Spike said.

"The tribe's, hehe, ready to go, hehe, go," Will said.

"The little Frost dude's are knocked out," Arty said pointing to the Jaden twins.

"Just pick 'em up and carry 'em…" Spike said as he poked the two dazed Frost Twins with a stick. Arty shrugged and she and Katrina picked them up and walked on over to the Frost Leprechaun Tribe, where the leader called a 'Frea' which means 'chief' in the tongue of Crypto-Earth, greeted them.

"Hello, humans. It is a great honor to have you travel with us. It has been many, many, many years. Why, it's been at least 5 generations since the tribes of the Frost Leprechauns have ever seen a human. I am Frea Iving Kimuck, the Frea of this tribe. My own cousin's Uncle is the Jeroth Frea of the Frost Leprechaun tribes!" the Frea said. The Frea was a full grown leprechaun at 4 ½ feet, he had a long white beard and white hair, though he was bald on top. He had old silver eyes full of wisdom, his face was wrinkled and he was feeble. He wore a tattered old silver cloak over a more tattered grey tunic. An old leprechaun woman came up to him and said-

"Frea Iving Kimuck! You're loosing you memory! You cousin's Uncle is dead! Why, so are all of your cousins except Shaynah Ring! It's your late cousin Angelo's Uncle's grandson that's Jeroth Frea of the Frost Leprechaun tribes!! Y'silly ol' duck!" The woman nagged him.

"OH, give your gob and naggin' a rest will ya, Wilma?!" The Frea said, a bit annoyed.

"My name's not Wilma, y'self goose! 'Ave yer even forgotten me own name?! And I'm yer wife! My name's Anna!"

"My Great Uncle has told you to be silent! Hold your tongue woman!" A young strong good-looking leprechaun said. The girls looked at him, he was different from the other leprechauns of the Frost Mountains. He had brown hair and brown eyes for one thing. He wore a snow badger's fur for a shirt, leather armbands on his forearms. His upper arms were covered by the Snow Badger's long arms/paws. He wore a loin-cloth made of a mountain ram's hide. His boots were made of ram's hide and snow badger fur. He wore wolverine paws and claws over the back of his hands. In a fight they were a good weapon. He wore a necklace of teeth and claws of big wolverines and badgers he had slain. He wore a belt of snake skin with a scabbard tied to it. In the scabbard was a sword..

"Learn to respect your elders, Freuer!!" The woman scolded.

"And YOU learn to respect the orders given to you by the Frea! You can be charged for insubordination and treason!!" Freuer spat back.

"Silence you two!" the Frea said loudly. "This isn't the time to bicker and argue! It's the time to us bury the hatchet and move from this place, we have guests to add to the reason to behave! Let's move along."

The two bickering leprechauns glared at each other and stayed away from each other but to no avail for they had to help the Frea over the rocks and remembering the way.

"Only a few more mellers," the Frea said. The girls looked at each other confused. "Mellers"?

"Did he say 'Miller'? Like Miller Lire?" Jen whispered to the girls. "He's drinking beer at a time like this?!"

"No, no, I think he was saying 'Meller' like we say 'A few more Kilometers/miles'," Lyra said. Everyone nodded, that sounded more reasonable.

Spike, Will, Jude and Brendan walked with each other near the girls, plotting pranks to play on Freuer. Then a little leprechaun girl approached the girls. She wore a small gray tunic, silver coat, and held onto a baby snow badger. She had beautiful silver eyes that were full of innocence and love. Her hair was shiny from the silver and her skin-like many of the Frost Leprechauns- was dark so they could absorb sunlight to keep warm.

Ashleigh smiled at the little (little, ha! What an understatement!) and in a kind voice said, " 'Ello little girl, what's your name?"

The girl blushed and held up her pet badger to her face. Jude grinned and walked beside the girl and said, "This is Lena, she's my younger sister. She's a tad shy and doesn't say much. But she's really helpful in playing pranks on Freuer. She's very helpful and obedient."

Lena waved a bit and said, "h-hi.."

"She's never seen a human before, well not a girl human anyway," Brendan said stepping next to his little sister. "The only human we've seen is Mekin the wizard. He's an old wizard, but a wizard none the less. He's good friends with out Frea."

"Yeah, he's been around ever since the Great War of Crypto-Earth! That was like 6 Earth Millenniums ago! That's countless Crypton Millenniums! So he's very old!" Jude exclaimed.

"oh? And where does this man live?" Terry asked.

"He lives near the edge of the Frost Plateau. We'll take you there after we've reached the other side and a few days pass," Brendan replied. Spike and Will grinned excitedly.

"Yeah, we'll go too! I bet Mum can see the smoke from the village!" Spike said. Will nodded.

"And she probably looks like and albino Frost Leprechaun by now!" Will said. "All white with worry for us!"

Spike laughed, "Yeah, I can hear her now!" Spike put on a high pitched voice and said, "'What would have happened to you if the humans didn't see yer? I was white with worry for you two rascals! Oh, woe to me, the mother of the two most mischievous children! How could you do this to your own ma?'"

"Don't forget what else she'll say!" Will said. Then he put on the same high pitched voice as Spike had, " 'Why, the Derber's don't have twins like you! I bet Mrs. Derber is acting all high and mighty that she has "perfect" children! You watch, she'll be stamping in the village square gossipin' and bragging about her children! You two go straight to bed! NO SUPPER!'"

"Yeah and she'll also say 'Next time you do that, Spike Merood. I'm going to chop off all o' your hair and call you Bald Merood!'" Spike laughed making a chopping motion with his arm. "She says that so many times but she never does it."

"Yeah and Dad just says we're born adventurers not to be caged in the little village. He's somewhat of an explorer himself y'know, but his leg to a diseased wolverine that foamed at the mouth. But luckily the tribe's warriors got to him before the thing ate him. The wolverine was wounded badly but it got away, we think it's dead. But Dad was in and out for a month!" Will said.

"So what does he do now?" Ava asked.

"He studies other Leprechaun tribes. He wishes sometimes that he was a Frost Leprechaun," Spike replied.

"oh, that's cool," Ava said as they walked on.

After a few more hours and a long, fast-paced march they had reached safety.

"So why is it safe on this side of the volcano but not the other?" Katrina asked.

"Because the mountains only send lava and mudslides down one side at a time. So next time the mountain erupts it'll be on this side, but out tribe'll be on Mt. Hinton then. Y'see the mountain erupts once a year," Brendan said, Jude nodding in agreement to every last word.

"Maybe in a few days, perhaps a few after tomorrow, we'll go see the old wizard," Jude said. "Until then, we'll stay here with the tribe."

So they rested their tired feet, ate great Frost Leprechaun food (I'm telling you, those Frost Leprechauns are geniuses in cooking, whether you're a vegetarian, carnivore, or omnivore, they have just the food for you and you'd love it!) and drank fine refreshments for the night.

Jester: Well ha! There you go! It took a while yes, but I had this all written out and I hate re-typing the thing but when you're stuck in 80 minutes of Study Hall it's all you can do, write for your story. And, yes, Coffee Bean I was taking a trip to the Frost Mountains. I had to see how they were for themselves I want this to be as true to how the leprechauns and other creatures and tribes work in Crypto-Earth as I can. So sorry for the delay!
