Trouble in the lake-2
Monica walked out of Max's house to practice her swordsmanship once again…
Max noticed this then shouted at her once more,"Um Monica, you can stop practicing now you
know, evil's gone so you can just relax."
Monica replied, "Well I'm not taking any chances, and I hate doing nothing."
Max quieted down and went away. "Oh, in case you're interested, there's a fireworks display later
at nine. It will be held at the Palm Brinks Park. If you wanna come, just come okay?"
"I'll think about it, right now I just wanna train okay?"
….Eight Thirty PM later
"Well I guess the fireworks display will at least provide some entertainment." I'll go check it out.
But just as Monica reaches the lake, she felt her spine tingle, "Something's up! I can feel something's
happening, and I don't like it." Monica ran faster so that she can warn the others… But she was too late…
She just saw Max being held up by the hair by an invisible enemy while the others were surrounded by dark
creatures. "Let Max go or I'll, I'll…." But the Invisible figure just laughed and interrupted, "Or you'll what,
Attack me! Hahahahahahahahaha…. I doubt that. You can't even see me; I don't have a shadow
whatsoever so I think I'll do the attacking." He looked at Max and said, "Now the ritual will be complete! With
the Child of Time with us, I know it will." And with that, he disappeared in thin air taking Max with him,
leaving Monica with tons of Black Creatures to take care of.
"Max! Alright, I'll take care of you jerks first." Monica readied her sword and prepared to attack.
After an hour, she defeated almost all of them; only ten were left five flying ones with sharp, VERY SHARP claws and five giants carrying chain balls.
"I think I'll take care of the giants first." She readied her sword once again and attacked.
(Battle Scene- Skip it if you want)
The first giant threw his chain ball at Monica; Monica evaded with a side step and jumped to the head
of the giant and stabbed it in the top of its head, breaking its skull. The giant fell to the ground, dead. Monica
jumped away and attacked the next giant when suddenly, from out of the blue, a monster tried to slash
Monica at the back, Monica evaded and jumped at the monster's head and stabbed its skull as well as uses
it as a trampoline to catapult herself to other flying monsters. In mid-air, Monica used magic to attack the
other giants below who wanted to throw their chain balls at her, but as she threw a volley of flames at her
opponents below, a monster grabbed her at the back in the middle of her attack. Monica tried to wriggle her
way out of it, but the harder she tried, the harder the beast held her, digging its claws deeper into Monica's
skin. Monica dropped her sword because of the pain of the claws digging deeper into her back, she closed
her eyes for a while, suddenly, a large fireball formed in her left hand and she punched it in the monster's
talons, making it release her in the air. She tried to reach for her sword, but the flying monsters keep on
clawing her so she used her magic to deflect them. Unfortunately, her sword landed in the hands of one of
the giants and as soon as Monica was in a reachable height, the giant lunge the sword towards Monica.
Monica landed on the tip of the sword and walked on it and kicked the giant's head. This caused the giant to
drop the sword and lose its balance, Monica made use of this chance to catch her sword and stab the giant
in its stomach and jump on its head to catch the nearest monster's tail and cut it in half. Monica landed on
the ground slowly, still holding the monsters lower half body and showed it to the other monsters. The others
slowly hovered down. Unknown to Monica, another still hides high above the stratosphere behind the
clouds. It looked like it was waiting for something (I'll tell you its purpose later). "You see this?" Monica said
to the other monsters as she pointed to the body she held, "This could be you if you don't leave this town
and return Max!"
One of the monsters walked towards Monica then spoke, "We are called the Draquil, and the giants you fought are called the Blood Golems. We were sent by Rayne, our Dark Overlord."
"What the hell are you guys saying? All I just want to know is where you hid Max and why you attacked us!"
The monsters didn't say anything….
Until, Monica dropped the body, the monsters suddenly attacked without warning, leaving Monica surrounded with three large Draquils ready to pounce her.
. . . . . . . Meanwhile, Max was finally awake, but before he knew he was trapped inside a crystal cage.
"Ooohhh… Where am I?" Max then saw a strange being nearing his direction so he made his stance and
was about to draw his wrench when he noticed his wrench wasn't with him.
The stranger stopped at a distance, then it spoke, "Well, well… I'm not surprised that you woke up this fast… you are indeed powerful, just as the murals predicted you to be. No wonder why my family would risk everything just to protect you."
Max was a bit confused at what he said, but his frustration covered it. "I don't understand what you're trying to say but all I want to know is why you took me away!"
The stranger walked closer to Max's side. Max was able to see the stranger's face, but when he saw him…. Max fell silent….
"What happened to your fighting spirit, Child of Time? Were you surprised of who I really am, why I look very much alike your wretched partner! That I cannot tell you, but what matters most is that you are the key to my success. With the power you posses, I can shape time and space in any way I desire and I will finally be free from the curse that my ancestors had befallen on me!"
Author's mini note & Spoiler
Sorry this is very short and suspending. I have this weird habit of keeping people in suspense, but don't worry I'm already writing the next chapter.
SPOILER
Max and Monica will be facing an enemy they've never fought before. What's worse is that Monica is somewhat related to this new enemy. Lot's of kidnapping will be witnessed.
