Well, it looks like I'm continuing with this adventure thing. Hopefully it turns out good. Please review and tell me what you think. In case I haven't mentioned this: thoughts Italics, things they do bold, New places/settings BOLD, CAPS. I hope that clears up a few things.
+Chap. 8+
Alex was the first to wake up. He tried to conjure a fire, as he was quite cold. Then he realized that his powers were gone.
Alex: Crap! Now what am I going to do? Might as well wake the twins. Goes to wake up Zack and Cody
Alex: WAKE UP!
Zack: Damn, you don't have to yell.
Cody: Yeah, what he said.
Alex: I have some bad news. I don't have my powers.
Zack: And that's bad because?
Alex: Nothing to drink, to eat, or warm us with…
Cody: So we'll do it the old fashioned way. Grabs two sticks and rubs them together
Zack: I don't think that's going to- the sticks suddenly burst into flame –Whoa. How'd you do that, Cody?
Cody: I'm not sure. The friction I provided for the sticks wasn't nearly enough for them to catch on fire.
Zack: Say what?
Alex: He wasn't rubbing them together long enough, don't you listen in Science?
Cody: Nope. He doesn't listen in any subject. Does anyone know where we are?
Alex: Actually, no, but now that I can actually see something, I know we're not in the abandoned house anymore.
Zack: So where the hell are we?
As they look around, they appear to be in a dark forest, devoid of any light except the light provided from the fire, as it was too cloudy for the moon's light to reach them. Suddenly they hear a noise coming from the depths of the forest. It sounds a little bit like someone rustling in the leaves.
Alex: Get the hell out here, whoever you are.
Out comes a squirrel. However, before it runs away, Cody notices something peculiar about it.
Cody: Did you see that?
Zack: Yeah, Cody, we saw the squirrel.
Cody: No, I mean what it looked like.
Zack: Oh, sure, it was brown, covered in fur, had four legs, one head, two eyes, and one tail…
Cody: No, it had two tails.
Zack: Don't be stupid, Cody, squirrels only have-
The squirrel comes back, and the three can distinctly make out its double tail.
Zack: I don't like that squirrel.
Alex: Mutated squirrel. Let's see if it has green blood. Alex stabs the squirrel with a stick, however, the stick goes right through the squirrel, and the squirrel seems to not have noticed, as if it were a ghost.
Cody: Holy crap, ghost squirrel.
Zack: Well, we can't eat it. That sucks.
Suddenly a mysterious voice cuts through the dark, filling the three boys with fear, and sounding exactly like the one they had heard at the abandoned house.
Mysterious Voice: You want to know where the hell you are, why Alex's powers have mysteriously disappeared, and why that squirrel appears to be a ghost.
Zack: How'd you know, you freak.
Mysterious Voice: I was watching. I am always watching, like the moon and the stars, and the sun.
Alex: Cut with the personification, and get to the point.
Mysterious Voice: Fine. He steps out of the dark cover of the forest. My name is Hineshu.
Hineshu has a blue jacket on, with a black undershirt showing underneath it. He has three bracelets on his right hand, two on his left. His pants are plainer, with only black shorts on, and a pair of ankle socks, with shoes that have a trail of dark flame embroidered on them. He also has a pair of earrings, one on each ear, with a dark flame decoration as well.
Zack: Hinnashu, eh. That's a weird name.
Hineshu: No, Hin-shoe. That's how you pronounce it, not Hinna-shoe.
Cody: laughs
Hineshu: Well, now that we have that settled, I will get to the explaining.
Alex: Finally.
Hineshu: Will you stop interrupting me, for someone who wants an explanation so badly; you sure are delaying it from happening.
Alex: Sorry, you may continue.
Hineshu: Thank you. As I was saying, the powers you have in the other dimension cannot be tapped into in this dimension.
Alex: So you're saying that for each dimension we visit, we have new and different powers.
Hineshu: Yes, exactly, and just like before, you can increase your ability and strength of these powers by using them. The more you use them, the more powerful they become, and the number of things you can do with them increases.
Cody: So what powers did Zack and I have in the real world?
Hineshu: You and Zack had the gift of distraction in the Earth dimension, Cody.
Cody: How'd you know my name?
Hineshu: Like I said, I've been listening.
Alex: So what is my power, err… new… power?
Hineshu: You, Alex, have the gift of wind, and defense. Cody, you have obtained the gift of water and healing. And, you, Zack, have received the gift of fire, and offense. Those gifts and perhaps more are waiting for you to discover them in the Ansibrue dimension. I leave you to explore your powers individually now. Remember, often these gifts have far greater potential then I may have described. He teleports away
Zack, Cody, and Alex find themselves separated, and alone. Each had only their newfound power to aid them. Confused, lost, and terribly lonely, each maneuvered through the dark forest, hoping to find some sign of life, or shelter, and then somehow be able to contact the others.
+End Chap. 8+
Ooh…cliffy. I think it's my first one, too. We are also getting into the action part of the fic, instead of the normal, boring life that they led in the Earth dimension. So, anyway, how did you like this chapter? Dreamerforever, did I make it detailed enough? I hope I did. See you in the next chapter of It's Magic?: Discovering New Abilities.
Pronunciations:
Ansibrue: An-see-brew.
Hineshu: Hin-shoe.
