Chapter 9: The Soulix Unleashed

Karen: Can someone please explain to me what the hell is going on?

Frogz: Depre, Sylphior, you mean you haven't told them yet?

Tip: How could you hide something like this from them?
Daemon: Hide what from us?

Jësoz: sighs Should I explain this to them?
Sarah: I'm confused. Raine's eyes are blue.

Sylphior: Yeah, and it's not a good thing.

Daemon: Why's that?

Depre: sighs Might as well tell them now. Let's start from the beginning. There's a reason that all of us are friends and close together. It's because we all have Soulix power.

Sarah: Ok, ok, I'm following ya. Except what the hell is Soulix?

Sylphior: It's a mysterious power we all had obtained when we were 5. We don't know how.

Karen: But why'd you keep this from us, yo?
Depre: Because it's a terrible curse that can destroy.

Karen: That's my kind of curse!

Frogz: Anyways, all…1…2…3…

Tip: 6.

Frogz: 6 of us have Soulix power. What this power does is that the holder will gain a split personality.

Tip: This other ego will only concentrate on destruction and ignore any pleas and cries from friends.

Sylphior: But it is a powerful force, that we can't control. That's why we all stay together.

Depre: To help each other when in need.

Karen: That sounds like a bad idea, yo. What happens if all 6 of you are controlled by the Soulix power at the same time? I mean, all of you could team up and destroy the world, yo.

Jësoz: That's not possible. The Soulix only works alone no matter what. If confronted by another Soulix, it will first destroy that Soulix before causing mass destruction.

Daemon: So you guys have worked out the bugs in this thing.

Sarah: No you idiot. They can't do a thing about it. But is there anyway to get rid of it?
Tip: Not that we know of.

Frogz: That's why we're traveling around the world.

Tip: Searching for an answer to our struggle.

Sylphior: There's one good thing. If the Soulix is defeated or run out of energy, it'll retreat back into the owner's body, giving the owner full control until the Soulix breaks out.

Karen: Ok, ok, this all sounds interesting. I have one question, yo. Do all of these Soulix have a mind of their own?

Depre: Yes. All of ours. Mine's name is called Apoth.

Frogz: Larz has taken over my body.

Tip: Ton here.

Jësoz: Älxoz.

Depre: Raine has Horizon within her.

Sylphior: And mine is Metlior.

Sarah: Those are the weirdest names I have ever heard.

Frogz: Don't blame me. That's what they named themselves.

Tip: Yeah, it's not like we named them ourselves as soon as we got them.

Daemon: Um, guys? I think Raine…er…Horizon, is about to attack us.

Karen: I'm surprised that she hadn't attacked us when we were talking. You would think she would by now, yo.

Sarah: What's with you saying yo all the time now?
Karen: I don't know. I just started saying it.

Sylphior: Anyways, we have to help her.

Depre: Yeah. The only way we can help her is to either defeat her or just wait till the Soulix runs out of energy.

Daemon: Well, I'd rather wait than fight, so who wants to play cards?

Tip: If we play cards right now…

Frogz: She'll kill us.

Jësoz: I think we should just run instead.

Karen: Come on, I bet we can take her!

A bright, blue glow emits around Horizon

Sylphior: Um, I think we should leave now.

Depre: Yeah. This isn't good. She'll definitely kill us if we hang around.

Karen: Hey Daemon.

Daemon: Wha?

Karen: If you distract her, I'll give you a kiss.

Daemon: DONE AND DONE!
Daemon goes to 'distract' Horizon

Daemon: Hey, hey! Over here!

Karen: Come on, let's go now.

The group starts to run away.

Horizon(Deep voice): OUTTA THE WAY!

Horizon pounds Daemon away with a fist of water

Sarah: WHOA! Since when can she do that?
Depre: Um, yeah. That's the elemental power she has. Each of them has one.

Karen: And Horizon's is Water?

Tip: Yeah, why did you think her original name is Raine?

Frogz: And her Soulix name is Horizon?

Karen: Um, the Horizon doesn't make sense to me.

Jësoz: Nevermind. Look, anyways, Älxoz can control Wind.

Depre: Apoth can control Fire.

Tip: Ton can control Lightning.

Frogz: Larz has the power to control Earth.

Sylphior: And Metlior can control liquid metal.

Sarah: Um, liquid metal?

Sylphior: Yeah. In some weird way, he can summon this weird silver liquid metal that can take any shape. And then he can harden it. I also think his body is made of this liquid metal.

Karen: But then that means your body can be liquid metal too, then. Right?
Sylphior: No. When he takes over, so does his nervous system, heart, soul, and everything else. If I were to break my back and he took over, it wouldn't matter.

Sarah: So he can become liquid metal?

Tip: Yeah, like that villain dude in Terminator 2.

Frogz: Yeah, that guy was awesome!

Daemon comes crashing down…finally.

Karen: 'Bout time you got here.

Daemon(Weakly): Do I…get that…kiss now?

Karen: No.

Daemon springs back up from the ground.

Daemon: What? You used me, just like your dog!

Karen: I guess you could say that.

Horizon is seen running towards them

Jësoz: Um, guys. She's coming.

Frogz: I guess after playing with Daemon for a few minutes…

Tip: …She got bored. A bit too long though to play with Daemon.

Sylphior: All right that's it. Horizon should've gone away by now. We'll fight!

Tip: Can we not?

Frogz: I don't want to!

Sylphior: Well, I am. Anyone else?

Karen: I guess I will. Got nothing better to do.

Sarah: sighs Me too.

Depre: I'll fight, too.

Horizon stops a few feet in front of them
