Well, I'm here... I think... Yeah, I'm here!
Yeah, I'm definitely here.
Okay, now what am I here for? I can't seem to remember...
Oh, yeah! I've got to write a new chapter! But first, the Reviewer Responses!
Reda: Yeah, I guess it would be confusing, if even just for a while. And I'm glad you think it's awesome! I'm awesome! SO AWESOME!!! Oh, and confusingness is the very backbone of my entire existence!! That and excellent ideas with a believable plot! (According to me... and maybe some others... I guess... Am I dreaming again?)
Dragon Fire: Ah, I don't deserve you guys... Or do I? (Don't worry; I won't lose sleep on that one...) Well, anyway, I'm glad you like the twins thing Chaos! Oh, and the other reason I'm not using the name 'Shinobi' is because it's a human word and it's unlikely that an alien civilization that existed long before our dimension even had a whisper of a life would name their kids by a human word... But it was easier to say that it was a video game. (I had a clue it was a word from Yu Yu Hakusho and the Dark Tournament Saga. They fought a bunch of them. It was cool! ^.^) That's also the reason I don't think I'm going to use 'Suzuka', since I just saw a 'Suzuka' on TV today fighting Usuke's team. That guy was a total FRUITCAKE!!! ^.^
Now, on with that little conversation thingy everyone loves so much!!!
Alex: Yeah, I love these conversations you and me have! [smiling dumbly]
Alex Ultra: Yeah, me too... Hey, where's Psuda? I thought she said she'd be here?
Alex: I can't remember... maybe I'll go look for her? Yeah, I'll go look for her!
Alex Ultra: Okay, maybe we can fit her at the end? Yeah, that sounds good!
Until then, let's get on with the chapter!
~~~~~~*** ETERNAL WORLD TRAINING ***~~~~~~
After a day's practice, the two Alex's had finally gotten the hang of working separately, as well as together.
But, being one person, they had found, definitely had its perks! Not only could they work well together, they could even be in two places at once! (Well, duh!) So while one grilled someone for information, the other could be off training and still be hearing the conversation.
But that wasn't what they were doing on this particular morning. On this morning, Kanoovf had offered to teach them a new move. One that they would need if they were to defeat Kinkilla!
The Destructive Finger.
"So, tell me how this works again?" As Alexander stretched his muscles in mid-air, Alexandra went over the directions with Kanoovf again.
"Just do like I told you. Focus the energy wherever it's convenient for you and make sure it's like I told you. There really is no other way to explain it!"
"Yeah, okay. I guess that means we're ready!"
Without even a word, Alexander turned to his sister and prepared an attack.
As her brother charged an attack, Alexandra (whom I will from now on refer to as 'Alex' simply because that's how I think of her) focused a dark energy on her hand. As she gathered the required energy, she pulled it around her hand like a glove. The process of which gave onlookers a very cold feeling as the glove-like energy shone an eerie gray/black. And it was obvious that it was difficult, as the look on her face revealed the amount of effort she was putting into it.
"Here it comes!" Alexander focused his energy into his attack after getting the mental signal that Alex was ready.
The plan? To see how large of an attack could be cancelled out by their new technique.
The ground shook and the sky became dark as the force of the energy in his hands started to leak out. "AaaaaaahhhhhHHHH!!!!" Quickly, he put his hands before him, crooking his fingers in peculiar fashion. "POWER BOMB!!!"
The quarter-mile wide sphere of pure white energy left his hands and traveled at a decent speed toward the ground just as Alex opened her eyes to see the attack coming.
One last-second burst of power and she thrust her hand forward to meet the attack.
But rather than the expected effect of having two opposing kis fighting for control, at first, her thrust seemed to have little more effect on the ball of energy than simply slowing it down.
Within seconds, Alex seemed to become covered and swallowed by the outer limits of the attack.
But inside was another story. As Alex's attack was thrust forward, the effect was immediate and decisive. As the bulk of the attack continued on, the part of the beam closest to her hand seemed to simply, disappear.
And the effect spread from there. The energy of the attack seemed to creep away from her hand.
The hollowing effect left her unaffected as the empty shell of the attack surrounded her and continued to disappear.
In about thirty seconds, the head of the attack had been totally obliterated as the very structure of the energy was ripped to shreds and seemed to no longer exist.
'This is it. This is how he killed those souls. This is how he wiped those dimensions clean of any kind of energy. Even the immortals had no defense against this other than their own strength!' Apparently, any soul can be destroyed. Even one who is immortal dies when their soul is lost. And against a foe like Kinkilla, any kind of strength would be useless.
And the saddest part was. That was the very reason they had to learn that technique. If Alex had any kind of hope of killing or destroying Kinkilla, she would have to destroy his soul!
Both Alex's smiled at the thought. 'Easier said than done...'
Alexander cut off the attack to keep from losing his entire ki, and went to land beside his very tired other half.
Both of them were sitting on the ground, regaining their breath as Kanoovf came over to congratulate them on their progress.
"Not only have you learned to act separately, but you have learned one of the most difficult techniques ever!" 'All this and they aren't even Eternal yet! Incredible!' Kanoovf was more impressed now than before, though it nearly confused him as to how that was possible.
Alex (the name seemed to fit the girl more than the boy) looked up to Kanoovf and smiled tiredly. "So, Kanoovf? You said something about training?"
Kanoovf gave her a puzzled look, then asked her something. "Don't you think you should rest up first? The destruction attack takes a lot out of you!"
"Well, yeah. I suppose we really SHOULD, but one of the focuses of my training regimen is endurance. Even if I've totally depleted my energy, I continue going at it as viciously as I can, that way I can't get caught off guard later." The huffing had stopped and they were now both on their feet.
Kanoovf thought of something as he looked at the two of them. "So, I guess that means now it's both of your regimen?"
The two of them immediately plastered identical looks of confusion on their formerly tired faces. Quickly, they looked first at each other, then at Kanoovf. As Alexander simply smiled dumbly, Alex smiled dumbly, scratched the back of her head, and said, "Yeah, I guess it is!" And started laughing loudly as if it really made a difference how loud she laughed.
"Whatever." Kanoovf thought for a moment about... something, and turned back to them. "Yeah, I guess there is some training I guess we could subject you to..." Slowly, he lifted off, with the twins following close behind.
They flew off and soon found themselves closing in on a planet that the twins didn't remember seeing. It seemed to be separated into two halves and each half seemed to have regions of different color and land-features laid out in bands circling the planet going out from the equator and terminating at the poles. The planet was slightly elongated to look a bit like an oval and they couldn't find any real reason for it. "And what planet is that?"
Kanoovf smirked as he kept going and spoke up. "Questaian. The planet of progressive danger."
The twins didn't know what to think of it, but they thought they might as well keep going.
In particular, Kanoovf led them to land on one of the poles. Whether it was the north or the south they couldn't tell and really didn't care. It made no real difference to them.
"We're at the South Pole now. The idea is to try to get to the North... without losing consciousness, or a vital organ... or, in your case, your life." The Alex's promptly tripped on their own feet and just barely kept their balance.
Kanoovf didn't notice and instead told the twins to stay alert.
"Why? Is there something especially dangerous here?"
"Of course there's something dangerous here!"
"Hey! Don't talk back to me!"
"And just why not?"
"Because I said so!"
"Oh, no you didn't! Or did you?" Alex looked to the sky and tried to look thoughtful.
Suddenly the brother broke his angry demeanor and looked as if he had thought up something incredible. "YES YOU DID!! Or I did, or wait, great, now I screwed it up..." They both looked slightly defeated for a moment... yeah.
Kanoovf was now, totally and royally confused at the two twins. "Uh, do you always talk to yourself?" His nervous grin told volumes.
They both looked to him and realized what they were doing. Looking to each other again, then back to the orange man they smiled and Alex piped up for the both of them. "Well, yeah. I guess I always have..."
"But now I have an excuse to argue with myself! Haha! It's fun too!!!"
If Kanoovf hadn't been so confused, he might have fainted, or fallen over right there... He just stood there with his shoulders slumped and watched as one of them disintegrated a blue-haired beast that was about to pounce on him.
Smiling a grin that said 'I'm confused but I'm just going to nod my head and move on.' He laughed loudly and spoke his mind. "Well, that's confusing. But I guess you get the idea now, so shall we move on?"
"Sure!" "Sure!"
For the next half hour they trudged through every kind of landscape from thick jungle to barren desert and beyond. "Well, at least now I know what those bands were."
"Or should I say WE know? Or should I say 'WE say we know'?"
"Great! Now I'm confusing my self! Selves... WHATEVER!!!" Almost as if to vent some anger, Alex blasted a rather large T-Rex like creature with a bit excessive force, leaving a rather sizeable crater. "Shoot, did I do that? Or we do that, or WHATEVER!!! Man, now my heads hurt!" Both of them rubbed their temples for a moment before looking to a very disturbed Kanoovf for instructions on where to go next.
Kanoovf, shaking off that creepy feeling, decided that there was only one way they could really go. North.
After about ten more minutes trudging through two more types of environment, they came upon a gigantic crystalline wall. It seemed that they would have to find a way around.
"Hey, why can't we just fly over it?"
"Because, you have to enter the northern hemisphere through this wall, it expands around that side like an invisible bubble from the top so you can't get in. Besides, if you can't get through this wall, you won't fare well on the other side." He said the last part with a smirk. It was true that none of the three had really used any significant energy. In fact, he could have sworn that the twins seemed to be back to full power already. 'Incredible! Well, I suppose it's true what he says about the humans. They recover quickly... not as quickly as some, but with the training...' He allowed his thoughts trail off from there as he felt the ground shake.
"What? Hey!" The twins were up against the wall trying to break through it. "Hey! Wait a minute!"
They instantly stopped their assault on the wall and looked back at him. "What? Are we doing it wrong?"
"Yes, actually. I'm sure you possibly COULD force your way through, but that would ruin the wall." They both gave him confused looks that said 'Wasn't that the point?'
"Then how do we get through?"
"We find the guardian and fight him. If we can overpower him, then he will open a gate in it and allow us to go through!" He smiled. "Simple, huh?"
"Yeah... simple."
"So where is this guy?" (BTW, sometimes they aren't even sure which one said what so... I won't know either. Sorry.)
"Um..." He looked around next to the wall in both directions, then turned back to the twins. "I have no idea!" The twins sighed heavily.
"Look, look. I mean that we just need to follow the wall and we'll eventually find him!" Kanoovf had his hands up protectively.
"Okay, but at least let's split up!" Alexander was already ready to head West as Alex was looking East.
"Hey, wait!" The twins looked back to him just as they were about to blast off.
"What?" "What?"
"Don't we need some kind of signal or something?" He realized his mistake as soon as he said it.
"..." "..."
"... Nevermind. Uh, which one should I go with?" His confused glance showed that he really didn't know what to think.
"Uh..." "Uh..."
"Well this is confusing! You two can't even do rock-paper-scissors since you'd always come up with the same! Wouldn't you?"
The twins looked to each other then back to Kanoovf. "Uh, I guess so..." The both said it at the same time with goofy grins on their faces.
So instead, Alex materialized a coin and they flipped it so Kanoovf was now following Alexander.
They flew on for a little while and Kanoovf decided to ask a question. "Say, I never saw Alex use that move before... what was it again?"
"Power Bomb? Well, I guess it is new. To commemorate that I, uh, we both exist now... we thought up a few new moves and now we've got a bigger arsenal... I guess."
"So, how does that one work?"
"Well, when it makes solid contact with its target it draws in its tail and explodes."
"And what if it doesn't make contact?"
He smiled a bit. "Well, then it disappears and the energy goes back to the attacker."
Kanoovf looked back to him and smiled. "Nice." They both continued on, knowing that Alex had heard the whole thing as well.
After about five more minutes they found him.
"So there he is!" Alexander was looking over the small man standing before the wall, looking their way.
"Wow, he's not what I expected!" Kanoovf nearly fell on his bottom as Alex simply... appeared right next to him.
"Hey! What!?"
"Oh, we know Instantaneous Movement, the move the Kais use! It's useful sometimes!"
"..." They simply looked down at the man on the ground.
His skin tone looked more human than even Merlin's had (of course, he had to be at LEAST thousands of years old!), and he had an unconcerned look on his face, that looked surprisingly human! He held some kind of strange staff in his left hand and to his right was some kind of golden slot with a hole in it, obviously meant for the staff.
"That's Kewe." (Sorry, Chaos, but I'm going to change the pronunciation. It's now pronounced 'Keh-way'i', kind of like 'Kawaii'. Well, now that I've got that out of the way, on with the interesting stuff.) "I didn't know she'd be here!"
The twins both did a foot fault as they realized their mistake. "SHE!!!!?????"
"Yeah, can't you tell?"
Kewe noticed them up there and decided to go up and meet them. Upon closer inspection, it became obvious that the two of them had been mistaken. "Hello, Kanoovf! And who are your friends?" The feminine manner and tone solidified their embarrassment at thinking of her that way.
"Oh, these are some new-comers. So why don't you fight them and let us through?" He said it in the nicest way possible, so as to not get his head chewed off.
"Oh! So you don't think I can beat them! Well THAT'S CONFIDENCE!!!"
"Come on hon! You know I didn't mean it that way! Come on! I really didn't!"
"Whatever!" In a huff, she turned to the pair eyeing her strangely.
Upon even closer inspection it was found that the peachish color was made by a multitude of tiny scales that covered her entirely and that she didn't actually have any shoes on! Instead, her feet looked a lot like those of Cell, except purple...
"Alright! Which one of you is going to fight me?" They looked at each other again (seemingly in that habit or something...) and looked cluelessly back to her.
"Uh... coin?" "Coin." And Alex pulled the coin back out of her pocket as Kewe looked on helplessly.
Kanoovf offered some insight to the confused Eternal. "They've got the same amount of power so... if one can, the other can too. You'll have to ask Merlin about the rest because I'm still confused..."
"So, what? They agree on everything!?!?"
"Well, I guess they don't really have a choice. Considering they're the same person!" This came just after they had both called 'Heads' while the coin was in the air.
Kewe put on a nervous grin as she watched the two of them decide who was going to be heads. "Yeah. Right. Whatever..."
~~~~~~*** End of Chapter 16 ***~~~~~~
Ah, that's the end of that chapter! Now I'm going to confuse you further as I go into a conversation that may or may not get something done!
Alex: Found her!
Alex Ultra: Great.
Psuda: Yeah, I'm here!
Alex: Great! Now what?
Psuda: Well, I'm not really sure... What do you guys do?
Alex: Well, we mostly do whatever it is we feel like doing. Which means I'm usually bugging him and he's trying to get people out of his house! ^.^
Psuda: Uh, yeah. Right. Okay, whatever. Oh! Hi peoples! I'm Psuda! And I'm an Android, or Cyborg or something like that... See, I was killed and then my dad brought me back with this metal frame-thingy he was working on with some friends! Now I'm really strong and stuff! [Smiles cheerfully]
Alex Ultra: AND she's another character of mine! But I guess you already knew that... See, she comes from a fic that is yet to be named and yet to be posted. Maybe I should get that out already? [Begins pondering that ever-important question. What's for dinner?]
Psuda: And now the brass keeps on making me fight these psychos and stuff. It's kind of fun, but I hate it when people die because of what I did! /.\
Alex Ultra: But it can't really be helped, can it?
Alex: Well Vash does it!
Alex Ultra: Vash the Stampede? Well, he's some kind of freak too.
Alex: Yeah, but I like him!
Alex Ultra: Whatever.
Psuda: Hey, what are you guys talking about?
Alex Ultra: Oh! Uh, nothing really! Hahaha!!
Psuda: Whatever, am I done now?
Alex: Yeah, bye!
Alex Ultra: I'm sure you'll stop by again sometime...
Psuda: Bye!
Okay peoples! Now that I've got this chapter out, it's your turn to write! Review me and tell me what you think! I know you want to!!!
Well,
LATER
Yeah, I'm definitely here.
Okay, now what am I here for? I can't seem to remember...
Oh, yeah! I've got to write a new chapter! But first, the Reviewer Responses!
Reda: Yeah, I guess it would be confusing, if even just for a while. And I'm glad you think it's awesome! I'm awesome! SO AWESOME!!! Oh, and confusingness is the very backbone of my entire existence!! That and excellent ideas with a believable plot! (According to me... and maybe some others... I guess... Am I dreaming again?)
Dragon Fire: Ah, I don't deserve you guys... Or do I? (Don't worry; I won't lose sleep on that one...) Well, anyway, I'm glad you like the twins thing Chaos!

Now, on with that little conversation thingy everyone loves so much!!!
Alex: Yeah, I love these conversations you and me have! [smiling dumbly]
Alex Ultra: Yeah, me too... Hey, where's Psuda? I thought she said she'd be here?
Alex: I can't remember... maybe I'll go look for her? Yeah, I'll go look for her!
Alex Ultra: Okay, maybe we can fit her at the end? Yeah, that sounds good!
Until then, let's get on with the chapter!

"Wow, he's not what I expected!" Kanoovf nearly fell on his bottom as Alex simply... appeared right next to him.
"Hey! What!?"
"Oh, we know Instantaneous Movement, the move the Kais use! It's useful sometimes!"
"..." They simply looked down at the man on the ground.
His skin tone looked more human than even Merlin's had (of course, he had to be at LEAST thousands of years old!), and he had an unconcerned look on his face, that looked surprisingly human! He held some kind of strange staff in his left hand and to his right was some kind of golden slot with a hole in it, obviously meant for the staff.
"That's Kewe." (Sorry, Chaos, but I'm going to change the pronunciation. It's now pronounced 'Keh-way'i', kind of like 'Kawaii'. Well, now that I've got that out of the way, on with the interesting stuff.) "I didn't know she'd be here!"
The twins both did a foot fault as they realized their mistake. "SHE!!!!?????"
"Yeah, can't you tell?"
Kewe noticed them up there and decided to go up and meet them. Upon closer inspection, it became obvious that the two of them had been mistaken. "Hello, Kanoovf! And who are your friends?" The feminine manner and tone solidified their embarrassment at thinking of her that way.
"Oh, these are some new-comers. So why don't you fight them and let us through?" He said it in the nicest way possible, so as to not get his head chewed off.
"Oh! So you don't think I can beat them! Well THAT'S CONFIDENCE!!!"
"Come on hon! You know I didn't mean it that way! Come on! I really didn't!"
"Whatever!" In a huff, she turned to the pair eyeing her strangely.
Upon even closer inspection it was found that the peachish color was made by a multitude of tiny scales that covered her entirely and that she didn't actually have any shoes on! Instead, her feet looked a lot like those of Cell, except purple...
"Alright! Which one of you is going to fight me?" They looked at each other again (seemingly in that habit or something...) and looked cluelessly back to her.
"Uh... coin?" "Coin." And Alex pulled the coin back out of her pocket as Kewe looked on helplessly.
Kanoovf offered some insight to the confused Eternal. "They've got the same amount of power so... if one can, the other can too. You'll have to ask Merlin about the rest because I'm still confused..."
"So, what? They agree on everything!?!?"
"Well, I guess they don't really have a choice. Considering they're the same person!" This came just after they had both called 'Heads' while the coin was in the air.
Kewe put on a nervous grin as she watched the two of them decide who was going to be heads. "Yeah. Right. Whatever..."
~~~~~~*** End of Chapter 16 ***~~~~~~
Ah, that's the end of that chapter! Now I'm going to confuse you further as I go into a conversation that may or may not get something done!
Alex: Found her!
Alex Ultra: Great.
Psuda: Yeah, I'm here!
Alex: Great! Now what?
Psuda: Well, I'm not really sure... What do you guys do?
Alex: Well, we mostly do whatever it is we feel like doing. Which means I'm usually bugging him and he's trying to get people out of his house! ^.^
Psuda: Uh, yeah. Right. Okay, whatever. Oh! Hi peoples! I'm Psuda! And I'm an Android, or Cyborg or something like that... See, I was killed and then my dad brought me back with this metal frame-thingy he was working on with some friends! Now I'm really strong and stuff! [Smiles cheerfully]
Alex Ultra: AND she's another character of mine! But I guess you already knew that... See, she comes from a fic that is yet to be named and yet to be posted. Maybe I should get that out already? [Begins pondering that ever-important question. What's for dinner?]
Psuda: And now the brass keeps on making me fight these psychos and stuff. It's kind of fun, but I hate it when people die because of what I did! /.\
Alex Ultra: But it can't really be helped, can it?
Alex: Well Vash does it!
Alex Ultra: Vash the Stampede? Well, he's some kind of freak too.
Alex: Yeah, but I like him!
Alex Ultra: Whatever.
Psuda: Hey, what are you guys talking about?
Alex Ultra: Oh! Uh, nothing really! Hahaha!!
Psuda: Whatever, am I done now?
Alex: Yeah, bye!
Alex Ultra: I'm sure you'll stop by again sometime...
Psuda: Bye!
Okay peoples! Now that I've got this chapter out, it's your turn to write! Review me and tell me what you think! I know you want to!!!
Well,
LATER
