Chapter 2: Justin
"Seeth, you maniac! Let go of my arm; you're hurting me with that hold," Rift screamed as they walked/dragged their way to the High Elder. Her arm was quickly bruising, and she was relieved when Seeth finally let go of her.
"Don't be a cry baby, it's just a little bruise. For heaven sakes, you'd think someone was after you, the way you reacted."
"Well, you know how every body acts around me, especially the guys. Besides, what do you know about what this bracelet can do anyway?"
They were so busy arguing that neither of them noticed a group of boys sneaking up on them, until it was too late. Both Rift and Seeth tried to warn each other simultaneously, but they simply weren't quick enough. The boys efficiently undressed both of them at lightning speeds. After coping a few feels, at lightning minus two speeds, they scattered in all directions, bearing their stolen goods. All but one boy, that is. He was bolder than the others and grabbed Rift, pulling her too him. Rift felt the energy rising with her anger, even stronger than before.
The power in her exploded violently, throwing everyone away. When Seeth looked up, Rift seemed to be in the center of the sun, washed in flame. Her bracelet glowed with the intensity of a star. The High Elder, who had been near enough to see the drama, thought quickly. He decided that she was a person from which a prophesy would be fulfilled, and that there could be no other conclusion based on the sheer power of her aura. But he was getting strange vibes from her.
In a distant place, a being of terrible power was looking through a crystal ball. His eyes glowed with rage as he looked. The fire in his pupils glowed black as he summoned forth a score of his more powerful minions. He told the minions to prepare for combat, specifically, an assassination.
(In a distant plane)
A boy was getting off of a Gray Hound bus when a sickening feeling hit him. His name was Justin, and he was on the bus in the vague hope that travel would help him find... anything. He was searching for meaning, the purpose of his life. Having taken sword fighting classes, he concealed his scimitar by his baggy pants and jacket. He often longed for the ancient days of knights and samurai, imagining that he would have had a place in the fuedal order.
To the other exiting passengers he looked fine, but he knew he had to get away from them, for he did not want to throw up in front of everyone. He reached the bathroom just in time. After a couple of minutes, he walked back out, running his hand through his dark brown hair. He grabbed his duffel bag, and walked on out of the station.
As Justin passed a dark ally, four big men grinned and began to follow him. One brought out a club with nails jutting from it. The thugs kept silent as they closed in on Justin, and he was oblivious of them. One of the men whispered "This guy must be loaded with money, just look at his jacket." The others just nodded. As soon as they were in range, they attacked. Two of them grabbed Justin and threw him into a brick wall. The sudden movement caught him off guard. He hit the wall hard and blood started to trickle from his head. Two of the men grabbed Justin and bombarded him with their fists. The one with the club stepped forward and jammed it into Justin's stomach. That's when he blacked out.
An hour later a shadowy figure stepped forth from the shadows and looked down in thought. Seeing a boy on the ground before him, an idea came to him. His master was looking for another servant to add to his horde. This kid, he thought, would be a good, quick fill-in. The dark figure knelt down and placed his hand over the boy. Instantly, a bright flash of light came forth from his palm. Justin was immediately healed and, though he was unconscious at the time, he was able to recall a figure chanting something.
He awoke (in a nearby dimension, although he didn't know that at the time) atop a cold, hard floor and with pain wracking his body. In the distance, a man started smiling an evil grin. Justin looked across the way, a bit startled.
"So, my soon to be servant, how do you feel? A bit scared? Hee hee," said the dark man walking towards Justin.
"Who are you?" Justin asked, noticing that his belongings were not with him.
"My name is Ender, and you shall serve me and do my bidding." Ender replied. As Ender finished speaking, Justin's mind was filled with pain, as Lord Ender took over his mind. Justin screamed in agony, outrage, and futility before passing out.
When he regained consciousness, now as Ender's newest minion, he had a glint of death in his eye. Handing Justin a crystal, Ender told his other minions to prepare him for his first victim. The crystal glowed with a pervasive purple light, so dark as to be almost black. Ender considered his creation, this kid is different from all the others, he seems to have an strange aura and it fights against my power to control him.
(In Rift's plane)
Rift and her friend now fully dressed at the house of the elder, how is now talking to other's about the incident that has occurred some while ago. Rift still glowing like fire, but not as tense as she was before, her aura had white flames that seamed to waver with the wind. Her ears sagged low as she looked down at the ground. I did not mean to hurt any one Rift thought to herself, thinking of when she had let loose her anger on those boys. What jerks they can be!! she replied to herself. Seeth had been staring at Rift for quite some time now, still pondering what had just happened. Seeth was replaying it all through her head starting at the point when Rift exploded with that amazing power that sent every one flying. Also the one that was the closest to her was burned badly and had a missing hand. Under their law, she would have to be punished for such action towards another, but not even the strongest of the clan's warriors could have produced such a blast. Even the greatest of the warior caste would not risk being immolated by this strange power.
Rift perked up suddenly being startled and looked around. She heard something coming towards them. Her aura quickly diminished around her and the she wore bracelet started to glow. A few seconds passed before any one noticed the sound coming from their right. The elder listened fore a couple more seconds before going to his servant and telling him to bring forth some warriors. The warriors arrived within seconds ready for a fight. The Elder instructed the warriors to guard them and check out what the noise is coming from. No sooner had he finished speaking when a dark figure appeared by the nearest tree to them. Then a group appeared behind the dark figure. The figure drew a long, thin sword and said "I have found my victim," as he moved into a fighting stance.
(In Enders Plane)
Justin felt a surge of worry pass through him. There is someone out their who I need to protect, I can feel it, he thought to him self, before Enders mind control forced him off the thought, making him think about his victim to come.
I must have him kill his victim soon or the mind control will wear off and he will be himself again. Ender thought. "Justin" he yelled, "See that armor over there," pointing to his right. "There should be a clear gem sitting next to it. Bring it to me." As Justin did so Ender started to chant something.
(Note: Even the I has no idea what this guy is chanting. He's the Dark Side of my Beta Editor.)
As the gem touched Ender's hand, a bright rainbow shone from it. Then the gem became a small ball of energy. Justin now standing in front of Ender, looking quite amazed by this. Ender just looked towards Justin as though it was a very ordinary thing. Ender smiled with malice and told him to stand still. Ender stood up and raised the ball of energy above Justin's head. Ender chanted quickly, while removing his hands from the ball of energy, which started to descend slowly onto Justin. As soon as the energy passed through his head and entered his torso, it stopped and glowed, even brighter then before. There was a flash of light as ball's energy dispersed throughout Justin's body. Ender was laughing, and from what Justin could tell the light had blinded them both for several minutes. As his eyesight returned, he noticed that he was wearing some thing other than his normal clothing. Ender spoke up "You are now wearing a magical breastplate. It is lighter than any other armor and as strong as some of the sturdiest." Ender then directed him towards a crystal ball on a table set off to the side. It revealed Rift standing in an open clearing flanked by two guards. Ender pointed to Rift, saying, "That female, kill her. Once you have finished her, you may satisfy your bloodlust on anyone nearby. I will summon you back when you tell me to." Then, using the concentrated light of an entire press conference, (Note: That's more than enough to blind anyone, why does he use so much?) he opened a portal between Planes and threw Justin through it.
