Chapter 12
In Wales, a torrential snowstorm had hit the mountain region. David, M, Jess and Daine huddled together for warmth. Their mutants went by the name of Samson.
"Jess, fly up and get an Ariel view of the region." David commanded
"well, they say heat rises!" Jess shivered. A set of feathered wings popped out of her back, in similar fashion that the vines she grew appeared when summand Jess Leapt into the skies, squawking as she flew.
Samson was an incredible mutant, not particularly strong are intelligent, but fast. He could run almost at the speed of light. He was a god in his own right, and had control over wind and hurricanes. He also had the power, at the click of a finger, to create shockwaves through his hands. He was an awesome aspect to have against Althea.
"No doubt Samson created this storm," Daine deduced
"Most probably," M agreed
"It looks like our host doesn't want us to be here."
"Well most of us don't" M argued, "We tend to lose all faith in anything remotely human, none of us are religious, and Anyone with an ancient Arabic name is a big no-no." she concluded
"So simply mentioning Althea's name gets you all up in arms," David smiled menacingly.
"Well that still doesn't give us a hint of how to capture this monster," Daine said, shaking from the cold, "Even if Jess spots him, by the time we get to that position, he'll be the other end of the world."
"Then we bring him to us," David schemed, before inhaling a deep breathe, he bellowed at the top of his voice,
"ALTHEA!!"
Almost instantly, a surge of wind crashed into them with might. From her ariel position, Jess saw everything that was going on,
"Bloody hell," she muttered under her breathe, before flying down to aid her team mates.
"What's going on?" She asked, as roughly, she landed, battling against the winds.
"David shouted Althea, and now the earth's about to implode!" Daine yelled, his shoes digging into the rocky terrain,
"Nonsense," David snorted, "We're just going to meet our next recruitment!"
"I am NOT your next recruitment, you follower of Darkness!" A voice growled through the vally
"Only a mad man talks to air," M called out, "Show yourself Samson!"
"Well said," David looked to M, "your learning, I'm impressed!!"
then, as commanded by M, A tall figure flew into the eye of the storm, and landed with ease and grace. The winds died down.
"Your dare speak of your mistress in MY domain," Samson glared at the four strangers
"Althea is not our Mistress," David started, but Samson just howled,
"Oh, the lies, and yet you speak of her again. You shall die!!!!"
"Althea is our sworn enemy, we just needed to get you to stand still for more than 5 seconds so we could talk, we couldn't track you, so we brought you to us."
Samson seemed to believe him
"Clever, very clever," He growled, "tell me, who are you with such intelligence?"
"I'm David, your new leader, should you chose to follow me into battle against Althea,"
A voice replied him, but not that of Samson, nor Daine. M or Jess,
"You, a boy, against the might of Althea?" it called
"Who's there; show yourself," Daine ordered, but David was distinctly unimpressed,
"Let me do the commanding," he told Daine, before turning his attention to the mystery voice.
"Tell me who you are if your being protected by your great Mistress," he yelled,
Then, without warning, a black swirling mist landed before their eyes, it's pace quickening every second, before a man clocked in a silver jacket emerged before them
"I am Morgormir, the Silver Knight and future King of this god forsaken rock of a planet!" He announced,
"I accept by the way," Samson whispered in David's ear
"Glad to hear it, David congratulated back, before Morgormir stopped him,
"Enough chit-chat, I'm not here to fight, or have a philosophical debate..."
"Then what?" Jess shouted
"I'm here to brag," Morgormir cackled
"Yeh, your future dictator, Your mistress is the greatest, etcetera etcetera, we get the picture," David glared
"Though all those things are correct, you are wrong," Morgormir informed,
"Then what?" David cried, getting impatient,
"Your friends, are defeated, and not even by my hand or my mistress's," Morgormir snarled, "By that of a mutant who was to fight for you."
"Pete?" Jess said, shocked, "why, has he signed up for your army?"
"No, not even that, he defeated your friends, then was captured by his own traps," Morgormir gloated
"That's not possible, you must have had something to do with this!" David insisted,
"Oh, a little, but not allot, see for yourself!" Morgormir finished, as the same mist that had brought him down swiftly whisked him away, leaving the five team members reeling.
