Darkness Triumphant
A/N: I originally had planned to bring in a couple of characters from His Dark Materials, but my sis decided to forbid me in doing that, something to do with the fact that I could probably wreck the beauty that it is, but that doesn't mean I won't put it in, later probably. And at this point, I just want to put thanks in to my muse of sorts Cven McGuire, author of the OMG story Trial by Tenderness.
Urd: You are so sappy sometimes you realize that?
Writer: You have a point?
Jennifer (of Labyrinth): I just hope you don't put me in a stupid way in this story.
Writer: Don't worry.
Sam (of Labyrinth): That's double for me as well.
Writer: Yeeeesh.
K1: I don't exactly why you bring in the least heroic people in, there are far more grander hero's out there.
Writer: I write for the underdogs out there.
Chapter Four: Headlong into Fairyness
Again a portal opened where we were and we were once again walking through the time stream. I had no idea where we would end up next. When I had left from the Nether zone, he had chosen the Magic dimension because of it was the easiest to get to, since it was connected with one of the Death dimensions, one that hadn't been captured yet. So when the 11 of us stepped out into a rather barren and desolate square on some castle, we knew that death was renown in this area.
"Anyone have any ideas?" I asked, "On where we are?"
Cat was scanning the area, when all of a sudden; he was knocked over by a really ugly green creature, which was running for its life.
"Trolls," said K1 reaching for his pistol, but I motioned him to put it down.
"Yes," I said, "But they aren't native here, this is slight art deco of someone who doesn't want the beauty to be truly destroyed, it's hazy almost, if this were the Troll kingdom, it would have skulls everywhere."
"So where are we?" asked Skuld, "It has no tech readings, and Banpei can't lock onto any power readings."
"Welcome to Labyrinth," said a calm male voice out of nowhere. We all turned round, to find a tall man, with pointed ears holding a big bow.
"What is Labyrinth?" I asked.
"Where dreams come true," he said, "And destinies are born."
"Who are you?" I asked finally.
"I am the Goblin king," he said, "You may call me Yasuvi."
Suddenly it hit me, I had seen a movie based off this idea, the movie was called Labyrinth, if that movie was indeed true, then that would mean a whole heck of lot of things.
"You're friend here was run over by a Troll," said Yasuvi, "I apologize; we've been getting attacked almost daily by the Goblin Kingdom."
A girl ran up, followed by a young man, holding a blade gun, "He got away?" asked the young man.
Yasuvi nodded, "Sorry Sam," he said, "But he won't get away."
"Your right," I said, "He won't."
The Troll was a mile off, and I stuck my hand straight up in the air and seconds later, the troll was blasted.
"Who are you?" asked the girl, she was wearing a crown of roses, and carried a big Bo, and she stood close by the Goblin King, and gazed at him with loving eyes.
"I am the Phoenix Ascendant," I said, "Here to end the darkness from overcoming the realms."
"You used dimensional portal," stated the girl, "You're from my world aren't you, did my parent's send you to find me?"
"No Jennifer," I said, "I'm from the Nether, a dimension out of time and space, you and your brother are on my files as heroes of your world and Labyrinth."
"Why do you need my wife and godson?" asked Yasuvi.
"Your godson is a fighter with savage intensity, because of his half-blood stature, and your wife because she has hope." I said.
"Do you understand that it is hard to bring him out of a blood rage, when he fights?" asked Jennifer, "Those who journey with him have to carry a whole lot of crystal balls to remove the rage from him, we cannot allow that."
"I am the Phoenix," I said, "His rage will subside after I teach him how to harness that power and evolve to his spirit mode."
"You're a Spirit Guard?" asked Jennifer "I thought that they were only legends and myths."
"We're a rare creation," I said, "We weren't designed for fighting, mainly to work on the timeline, but the Phoenix has always been associated with fighting."
Suddenly a big log sailed overhead us all and arced towards the castle, I looked behind me to see a small squadron of Trolls, making their way towards us, "Either you're with us or not," I said, "Cat, destroy the log."
Cat let loose with two precision strikes and the log disappeared, Yasuvi headed back towards the castle, "It's time to tango," I said, "Let's dance."
The trolls were really ugly looking, but looked to be good fighters; they outmatched the goblins in almost every way, except the fact that the Goblins were loyal.
Three rushed us, we split up, between the 11 of us, and we could handle them. Siegel, Banpei, and Cat rushed the 20 others laying down suppression fire, but the goons had shields.
"By all that's pure and all that's holy, I do call upon the powers of hope; Release the Phoenix Spirit!" cried Jennifer.
All of a sudden, a green light surrounded me, turned white, and I found myself powering up.
"I am Phoenix Angel," I roared as I let loose with a lightning attack, "You who attack the righteous have made a mistake, now deal with God's messenger!"
Everyone stepped back as my wrath sent the 20 trolls to their deaths, "Let this be a lesson to all those who oppose the Goblin King!" I roared, "God deals justly with those who bring about evil."
The battle over, we still had three hostages, they would be useful. I devolved down to my original size, the only thing changed was my wings, which was surprising.
"We've made our decision," said Jennifer, "We see that my abilities can help harness you to a new level."
"Then it is decided," said Yasuvi, "Go and bring back the light, and return to me my love."
