Chapter 6
Consequences
Hiking through the ancient stones and along the aged trails until he reached a ragged Mercury adept. Despite being unable to move, Alex still maintained the arrogant smirk he always wore.
"It is good to see you again, Hurricane."
"Alex." Hurricane held out the silver orb he obtained from Isaac's house. "Is this what I think it is?"
"Well, the Cloak Orb! This will prove worthy to our cause." Alex suddenly sounded surprised. "There is blood all over your tunic."
"How many do you actually need alive? This Felix needs to die by my hands. I plan on exploiting his feelings for this Sheba."
"What ever you do, Mia needs to be taken alive." Alex said quickly. Hurricane turned and looked at Alex, astonished at the speed with which Alex responded.
"I can take a few of them one on one, but they almost always travel as a group. Turning them against each other is the best plan."
"Your specialty."
"Can you power this Teleport Lapis so I can use it? It will help my plan greatly." Hurricane placed the jewel in Alex's hand. Alex gripped it as it began to glow.
"It's done." Picking it up, Hurricane looked at the sun for a moment.
"I'll go get to work right now." Before he could say another word, Hurricane collapsed on the ground. The loss of blood, and the strain put on his mind and body had taken their toll.
"You have no idea what you are becoming involved in." Sighed Alex.
Everyone in New Vale was up by now, so Jenna strolled towards Isaac's house to converse with him about the previous night's events.
Knocking on the door, Jenna was thinking about why she had acted like that, and the person who had tried to kill them. An opening door interrupted her musings. Dora poked her kind face outside.
"Hello Jenna, dear!" Dora said with a smile.
"Hi, Dora, is Isaac around?"
"He's in his room upstairs. Come in!" The well-kempt house of Kyle, Dora and Isaac always amazed Jenna. Looking at the mantle covered with the psyenergy granting stones, memories from their trip came flooding back.
The wind was fast and almost unnatural, on top of the Jupiter Lighthouse. Karst and Agatio fell to the collective might of Felix, Picard, Jenna and Sheba.
""Isaac... I'm so glad you're alive... we're going to help you... we're going to heal you..." Crouched over Isaac, Jenna began to use Cool Aura, while Mia used Ply Well. That same strange feeling swept over Jenna.
"You should meet us at Contigo." Isaac murmured standing up.
"I don't think that's a good idea." Felix spoke up.
"Yes we will!" Jenna interjected, "Isaac trusts us? Right?" Isaac stared deep into her brown eyes and said,
"I never stopped trusting you Jenna."
Isaac's voice jolted Jenna back to reality.
"Hey, Jenna." Jenna turned around; she was taken aback by Isaac's large black eye. "Isaac! What happened?" Isaac thought about Felix for a moment, and then responded,
"I, uh, fell." stammered Isaac. Jenna slowly walked towards him.
"Isaac, you know you can tell me anything. How long have we been friends?" she cautiously touched his arm. Before Isaac could feel her touch he stepped back.
"Isaac, I should leave." Tears welling up in her eyes, she turned towards the door. As she walked towards her house, Jenna saw Mia walking towards Isaac's house. Jenna wiped the tears from her eyes and jogged over to Mia. Mia was greeted by a smile from Jenna.
"How are you, Jenna?" Mia stopped to say.
"Can I ask you something?" Jenna looked down for a second,
"Sure, anything!" Taking a deep breath, Jenna proceeded to ask the question that had been eating at her mind since the reunion on the Jupiter Aerie.
"How do you feel about-'' She was interrupted by a familiar cloaked figure walking down the street.
"About I-'' Mia was hushed by Jenna's finger to her lips. She pointed to the figure and whisper,
"That's the guy who tried to kill Isaac and I!" whispered Jenna.
"Someone tried to kill you?" gasped Mia, placing her hand over her mouth.
"Come on we have to follow him!" Jenna grabbed Mia's hand and set off after Hurricane.
"What happened?" asked Mia.
"I can tell you later tonight, you're coming to dinner at my house tonight, right?
"I wouldn't miss it for the world."
"He's stopping! Keep on walking! We don't want to look suspicious!" Mia whispered. Hurricane stopped and looked into a window across the street. In the glimmering reflection, he saw a blue haired girl and the girl he fought at the river.
'The blue haired one is a Mercury adept, indubitably. She seems familiar, though.' Hurricane continued up the street.
"Come on! Let's get him!" Jenna pulled Mia along.
'Idiots! I knew they would try something!' Hurricane strode around the corner.
"He's going to the park! We can catch him here!" The New Vale Park was dedicated to the return of several missing Valeans. Mia and Jenna turned the corner to find the park devoid of life, only the cool shade covering the grass and a few verdant trees swaying in the wind.
"Where could he have gone?" Mia wondered.
'I don't care what Alex says, I'll kill them right now!' thought Hurricane, sizing up the pair.
