Chapter one:
Vav sighs as he stares at the TV.
The TV is turned to some program about a crime but Vav isn't really paying attention to it.
Vav isn't seeing the program at all right now instead he's in his own thoughts.
A figure plops down on the couch next to him though he doesn't notice.
He stays in his thoughts for a few moments longer until...
"Um? Vav?"
Vav jumps and turns only to relax. "Oh. Hey X-ray what's up?"
"Dude what's with you? Are you ok?" X-ray raises an eyebrow at the other.
Vav gives a smile. "Yeah. I'm fine. Just kind of staring off into space."
"Ok. If you say so." X-ray turns to the TV. "Now I'll ask again since I don't think you heard me when I asked as I plopped onto the couch. What are we watching?"
"Oh um." Vav turns to the Tv. "Something about a crime or something. A past crime I think. Was off in space so I didn't pay attention to much."
X-ray sighs slouching a little. "That sounds boring." He then shrugs. "Whatever I can handle boring."
Vav looks to his friend sadly for a few moments. "I'm sorry." He says under his breath.
"Huh?" X-ray turns to the other who quickly smiles. "What? Did you say something?"
"You're hearing things." Vav waves it off and turns back to the TV. "Why don't we see if they are any reports of crime we can help with? If not we can just go out."
"Works for me." X-ray turns to the TV and Vav changes the channel to the news.
The two watch the anchor blab on about some traffic reports.
After a few moments Vavs eyes flicker to X-ray for a moment and he sees X-ray watching the TV so he turns back to it.
Finally something comes on.
"Oh! What's this?! Breaking news there appears to be some kind of panicked commotion down there. Somethings going on just west of the centre of town on Ark lane. Looks to be around thirty fourth street so be careful if you're in the area or are planning to go there."
X-ray jumps up to his feet. "Alright! Vav this is it! What we've been waiting for!" He says grinning.
Vav smiles softly and gets up. "Alright! Let's go!"
The two race out the door though they make sure to close the door behind themselves as they hurry to go stop whoever is causing trouble. They hop onto a bus that just pulled up and settle in a seat each so they are side by side.
Vav slightly glances around at everyone who is on the bus right now. He turns away once done and looks to his hands that are on his lap.
"So what do you think it is?" X-ray suddenly asks.
Vav blinks and turns to look to X-ray.
X-ray turns his head with a slight tilt enough to look to Vav. "This bad guy and his plans."
"Give me a moment?" Vav asks and glances away thoughtful. "Well I mean it could be just some small villain again. Someone with very minor plans." He says thoughtfully and X-ray nods listening to the other. "Or it could be a bigger threat... Let me think... Really we won't know until we get there." He turns slightly to the other after a moments pause.
"Yeah that's true." X-ray turns to look out the window.
Vav looks away again and his eyes drift to a small child standing on the bus seat by his mother making baby sounds.
"We're here!" X-ray says leaping to his feet and Vav whips his head to look to the other. He presses the stop button then takes the lead as Vav follows to the front of the bus.
They get off at the stop and hurry towards where the commotion is. They skid to a stop to check out the situation first before charging in.
"Hahaha!" A man stands there laughing and a big smirk on his face. "Now may all you cower for I shall turn you all into babies! The town will fall to ruins!" He is wearing a ski mask though there's a dark blonde ponytail hanging out from the bottom of the mask to drape across his shoulder. He's wearing a navy blue muscle shirt, dark grey yoga pants and black heavy duty boots. His bright blue eyes almost seem to shine compared to the dark colour of the mask. He holds within his hands some kind of gun that mostly seems to be made of blue liquid or something almost like murky water that's still blue.
The weapon is thick and like a round diamond shape.
"Not if we can help it!" Vav says as the two jump forward puffing their chests out proudly trying to seem really brave in the current situation.
The man laughs. "Ah. X-ray and Vav. I was wondering when you would show up."
"Yeah and well now we did so prepare to be beat." X-ray says and Vav nods as they get ready to charge.
The man laughs for a short amount of time. "Well. Don't you worry. I have something even better planned for you. It is not worth it making you into babies." He reaches through the front part of the collar of his shirt pulling out a pistol aiming it at the two as he clicks the safety off. "So say your prayers." He begins to pull the trigger as X-ray and Vav try to move hoping that anything will work before it's too late... It's kind of hard to move to the sides with people on either side of you standing petrified with terror; plus if they drop to the ground or turn to run they will be vulnerable long enough to be shot.
Using their powers is their last chance.
Suddenly before the trigger is pulled someone else jumps onto the man from behind knocking him to the ground.
The gun clatters away from the man who let it go in surprise.
"MOGAR!" X-ray and Vav say at the same time in happiness to see the other.
"Mogar been tracking man. Mogar glad he did." Mogar says.
"And we're glad you were too." Vav says moving over to the other and gives him a hug.
Mogar hugs back.
X-ray slightly rolls his eyes. "Mushy stuff." He says making Vav chuckle.
"Oh come on. I know you also want to give Mogar a big hug!"
"You go be gross somewhere else." X-ray waves him off only getting another chuckle in response. "So why were you tracking the man?" He asks watching Mogar.
"Man cause trouble in forest. Man shooting small critters like target practice. Leave bodies on ground too."
"Well he's going to go to jail." Vav says glancing to the man who is trying to get up but Mogar is keeping a foot on him holding him down.
Mogar nods.
"Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Mogar saves X-ray and Vavs life! Extra! Extra!" The small paper boy calls out holding newspapers as he walks by.
X-ray and Vav smile softly at it.
The police arrive and take the man away as well as thanking the three for their help.
"Well." X-ray stretches a little. "That was a little eventful."
"So now what?" Vav asks.
"I don't know about you but I'm starving." X-ray says glancing to the two. "I'm going to get something to eat." He turns to head off. "You coming Vav?" He stops and turns only to see Vav seeming to say something to Mogar before waving as he heads to join X-ray. "Saying see you later to Mogar?" He asks with a slight smile.
"Yup." Vav nods.
The two begin heading off but Vav slightly glances back having the feeling he's being watched.
It's not a new feeling to Vav recently and he sees that Mogar already left so it's not him as he had suspected that it wasn't Mogar... this gaze feels menacingly and… familiar…
Vav turns back the way they are going as he just hopes that one day he'll be able to catch whoever it is that is watching him.
X-ray takes him to a Mary Browns and they eat talking every now and then when not having food in their mouths.
After that X-ray heads back to his apartment to get some rest.
Vav instead heads off to the forest where he arrives at the tree house that was built after X-ray and Vavs horrible attempt at making one. "Mogar?" He calls as he pokes his head inside.
"Vav." Mogar speaks from a little deeper in the tree house.
Vav moves more into the tree house and heads over to where Mogar is.
Mogar watches Vav as their eyes meet for a few seconds and the other moves closer until they are hugging again.
"Mogar... I think that X-ray... I'm kind of scared that X-ray might catch on." Vav says worriedly as he tries to work out how to explain it. "That he might find out..." He trails off for a moment before continuing. "It's just a bad feeling that he will find out... Like something nagging at me about it..."
