Char-I don't get it. If Sasha and Kevin are on the hill, why is Alex calling Sasha 'Mia?'

Because, Sasha is Mia's daughter.

Char-(pretend to think for a moment) Nope, still don't get it.

Geode-You are so dense!

(sigh) Listen, Char. Sasha and Kevin are Mia and Isaac's offspring, or to put it in layman's terms, kids. So, they must look like them. Sasha looks a lot like Mia as a teen, except Sasha's hair is in a long braid instead of a long ponytail.

Char-Ooooh.

Geode-(shakes head)

People, I have one more importante thing to say: I found out (good thing I did too) from the review I got for ch.1, that the sword really shouldn't be pure gold. So...we'll make it black, red lining, with a...um...silver hilt.

The Man From Mt. Aleph

"Mia..." Alex got steadily closer, and reached out for the blue haired girl. Then the boy that was with her got between them.

"Leave her alone! She's not Mia and how do you know our mother?"

Alex looked like he was soaking all this in. She's not Mia...How do you know our mother...Mia...mother... Alex couldn't believe it. He simpered. "Have I really been gone that long?"he asked,more to himself than anyone else.

"Who are you?"the children beforehim asked. Alex could see that they were clearly afraid, though they tried to hide it. He looked at the blonde-haired boy. He didn't like the looks of him at all. He looked just like the wretched boy he'd met in Sol Sanctum, the last name he'd heard before he'd sank beneath MT. Aleph.

Isaac...

"I've grown rather tiresome of that face," he said. "You are, sadly, just like your father." Alex raised his arm a little. Kevin's feet left a foot from the ground.

"Kevin?"Sasha watched her brother. Alex suddenly closed his hand in a fist. Kevin clutched his neck and clearly looked like he was choking.

"Kevin, no!" Sasha jumped to her feet and tried to grab him, but Alex raised his arm in the air(hand still closed tight), causing Kevin to drift higher and higher into the air. Sasha demanded Alex let him go.

"Very well." Alex said when Kevin was high enough to overlook the villlage. He let his arm drop and his hand unravel. Sasha watched in horror as her brother fell from very high up. He hit the bottom of the hill hard and lost consciousness. Sasha screamed and ran down the hill to try and heal her brother, but Alex warped in front of her.

"Now, now," he said. He seized her wrists. Sasha struggled. Alex glowed for a brief moment. A searing pain ran through Sasha's body, that made her legs give out. Alex smirked. "What is your name if you are not Mia?" Sasha glowered.

"None of your business!" Alex glowed again and the searing pain continued.

Some people were bamming at the door. Mia answered. "What is it Taryn and Alanna? Where's Sasha and Kevin?" She had noticed the worried looks on their faces.

"Something's happening on Mt. Aleph!" Alanna panted hurriedly.

"And Sasha and Kevin are still up there!" Taryn said.

At this, Garet came to the door. "I thought that was just a minor eathquake," Alanna and Taryn shook their heads vigorously.

"What's happening out there?" Sheba, Ivan, and Isaac were at the door.

"Let's not jus stand around, then." Ivan instructed. "Alanna, Taryn, you stay here."

"What?" they groaned. "Can't we help?"

"You can help by staying put until further instructions," Sheba and Jenna said firmly. Taryn and Alanna reluctantly trudged inside and slumped onto the couch.

Isaac, Garet, Jenna, Sheba, and Ivan grabbed their weapons and headed out. Alanna and Taryn fumed.

"Mom and dad got to do adventurous stuff when they were about my age." Taryn grumbled.

"It's not fair!" Alanna fumed. "We should be able to help! Sasha and Kevin are our friends. We should be able to help too, even if we're not strong enough." They looked at each other as if they had just gotten a great idea.

"You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?"

"Yea, but won't we get in trouble?"

"Who cares right now! Plus, we can sat that we were too worried about our friends and parents-"

"-Which is technically true... I love that brain, Alanna!" They went to the weapon case and got some of their parents' old weapons and snuck out of the house.

Alex lifted Sasha's chin with his hand to get a better look at her face. "You are just like your mother," he said. Sasha glared at him.

"It- can't be..." said a familiar voice from down the hill.

"Didn't Alex die 20 years ago?" asked another voice. Alex looked and saw Isaac and Mia at the bottom of the hill.

"Sasha!" Isaac called. "Are you alright? Let her go, Alex! It's not her you want."

Alex glowered and then smirked. "But didn't you take something I wanted?" he said referring to the incident with him and the Wise One years ago. He then looked at Mia. "And something I had also?"

"I was never yours, Alex!" Mia snapped.

Isaac noticed that Kevin wasn't up there. "Where is my son?"he demanded.

Alex sneered. "Look to your left-I think you'll be quite shocked."

Isaac and Mia looked left and nearly fainted. Kevin was on the ground unconscious, with one of his arms akimbo. Mia screamed and ran to her injured son to heal him in hopes that he wasn't dead. Isaac tried to run up the hill, but Alex held his hand in the air and isaac was thrown a good feet away by a force field now surrounding the hill. Sasha took advantage of the moment and tried to use a new psynergy-tundra-on Alex. He was caught off guard and let go of her. She tried run down the hill to see if her parents and brother were alright, but was immediately thrown back by the force field. Alex warped behind her and caught her.

He sighed. "It's gonna take a lot more than that to subdue me, Sasha," he said. She knew he was right-there was a very powerful aura radiating off of him. Very powerful. As long as there's breath in this body, she thought, I'm not giving up. She struggled as hard as she could.

"Let go of me!" she yelled. Alex looked like he was thinking about it. Then he glowed and Sasha felt the energy being drained from her as she glowed the same blue glow.

"Fine," He threw her down. "You're of no use to me-for right now anyway."

Sasha was suprised at how easy that was. He snapped his fingers and the force field vanished. Then, in a flash of blue light, he was gone. Sasha fainted.

Geode- Alex...why did he have to show up? Of all the people...

At least Char is gone!

Ivan-Char really get's one your nerves, huh?

Totally! But at least he's gone.

Geode-where'd he go?

Who cares, he's gone!

Ivan- We hope you like this chapter. And don't forget to leave reviews. Rae-Rae even accepts criticism, as long as it's constructive and not saying stuff like 'I hated it,' without a reason why. And no flames. Also, she'd like to know what are Mary Sues and s.l.t.(stuff like that)? Thx. And also, Sasha fainted because Alex drained her.
