Chapter 13: The Lookout
Higher and higher the group flew, past the tower and into dark clouds. The wind whipped at them, but Kale held on for all his worth, protecting Megan and Crystal the best he could from the dangerous weather. Lightning cracked only a few meters away, making everyone shout, even Icarus.
"Kale, I don't like this!" Crystal cried.
"Don't worry, I think we're almost out of this storm. Just hold on for a bit longer." Kale called back to her, holding her close.
"Kale, I'm scared!" Megan cried. Kale held her tight.
"Icarus, faster!" Kale cried. Icarus grunted in reply and sped up, shooting out of the dark clouds in a burst. The skies were calm and clear again as Kale opened his eyes and looked around.
Wow… it looks like the world goes on forever… it's so clear…
"Hey, is that the Lookout?" Crystal asked. Kale looked at the direction she was pointing to see a large, bowl-shaped platform.
"Yeah! We finally made it!" Kale said, eyes wide in awe.
"Ooh… pretty!" Megan said.
"Alright Icarus! Land!"
Icarus swooped around and got closer to the Lookout. When he landed, Kale hopped off first and helped the girls down.
"Wow… it's huge…" Crystal sighed, looking around.
"Hey, Kale Briefs?" Kale turned to the voice to see a green man just slightly shorter than him walking his way. He was dressed in robes and had antenna. He looked similar to the man Kale had dreamed about a few weeks ago, fighting Goku as a child.
"Yeah, that's me." Kale said.
"I'm Dende Jr., the Kami here. But you can call me DJ. I'm glad to see you made it."
Icarus walked over to DJ and rubbed his head against his chest. DJ started to pet the dragon affectionately.
"Uh… hello." Kale said, watching the dragon and the Namekian.
"You're wanting to see Katie, right? She'll be here any minute since you're here now." DJ said.
"Finally." Kale sighed, feeling like his life's dream was nearly finished.
As DJ said, right before Kale's eyes, a figure came to view, seemingly popping in. She was Kale's height, long black hair, a blue Gi, and black wings. Kale recognized her from the pictures he had seen in the last few days.
"Hey Kale." She said.
1st POV-Katie
I had never been so proud. Not when Codie got a perfect score on his ACTs or even when Goku began a SSJ. My great-grandson had made it to the Lookout after fighting demons and the new RR army.
"Ka-Katrin?" he stammered. He was nervous, I could tell.
"Don't be nervous, Kale. And please, call me Katie if you want." I looked from Kale to Megan and Crystal.
"Crystal of the Yael Pylaze clan." She introduced herself, bowing her head.
"Silver fire? Katrin of the Black Mirna clan." I bowed my head to her as well. I turned to Megan, "Hello, Megan."
"Hi. You look familiar." She said, looking closely at me.
"Your mother was one of Goku's great-granddaughters. She took after me a bit." I looked back up to Kale, "I guess you want to know why you're here." I asked him. He only nodded, looking very serious.
"It's why I'm here."
He's so like Vegeta…
"Well, we have to go to Otherworld. Just you and me." I said. He looked over to Megan and Crystal.
"Go on, Kale. We'll be fine here. Just come back, okay?"
"Of course." Kale replied.
"Alright, let's go." I placed my hand on Kale's shoulder and teleported the two of us to Otherworld.
