#2 – An Icy Force

Dark clouds hovered above Ramster Town. Sitting with crossed legs on his bed, Eddy looked out at the window. People were rushing home, fearing that there might be a thunderstorm soon. His sight then shifted to the digital surface of his glowing clock on the wall. "Ten twenty one… hm… " and he let out a sigh. Thinking about what happened two days before, he regretted not helping Sheepersia seriously. He laid down onto his bed with his hands supporting his head and shut his eyes. In his mind he thought, "Only if I've one more chance, sigh…" Slowly he dozed off and entered his sleep.

"Oh curse those teenagers! Now how am I supposed to conquer Sheepersia!" Wolfia growled angrily.

"Don't treat that defeat as a setback…" A voice echoed in the darkness. Two humanoid figures stood out of the shadows. They were Makutal and Skane. Makutal was a hyena-like looking creature with a black furry body. He had large brown claws and he could resurrect newly destroyed creatures. He was the left-hand man of Wolfia. Skane was a bison-like looking creature with a brown furry body. He has large black claws and he could summon darkness rainfall. He was the right-hand man of Wolfia.

"My generals! But how did you two managed to survive?" The shocked Wolfia asked curiously.
"Well my queen…" replied Makutal.
"This was what happened…" continued Skane.

While at Ramster High, the teens gather at the cafeteria after school.
"Falcon, are you feeling okay?" asked Yuna concernedly.
Yeah I'm alright, thanks for your concern. But my right arm still feels a bit painful…" replied Falcon.
"Then you better take care of yourself." said Yuna.
"Yep I will…" Falcon replied with a smile.
Eddy, Kit, Silent and Koyo settled down with their food at their table.
"Ohhh!!! I see that some people are having their sweet little conversation…" Kit teased Yuna.
Yuna blushed. They began eating.

"By the way guys, I dreamt of Sheepersia last night. The scenery of Sheepersia grasslands were so beautiful…" said Falcon.
"Yeah I could smell the enchanting fragrance while in the forest." added Koyo.
Eddy seemed distracted and Kit noticed that.
"Eddy… Eddy… EDDY!" called Kit. He got snapped out of his daydream.
"Yes?" replied Eddy.
"What were you thinking?" asked Kit.
"Oh nothing… let's eat!" replied Eddy again.
"Oh yeah now I remember… let us see your pendant." requested Koyo.

Falcon took out the pendant from under his t-shirt and off his neck. It was a small red oval crystal attached to a quarter oval that was connected to a thick black thread. Silent took a quick peek at it and went back to eating without being noticed. The rest of them just took turns to look at the pendant.

"Silent, you wanna look at it?" asked Eddy.
"I think I'll pass that." replied Silent.
The teens finished their food and decided to head to Sheepersia.

Back at Wolfia's lair, Wolfia were discussing about how to get rid of the teens.
"My queen, wait till you see what our new skill can do!" said Makutal.

The two generals walked towards Wolfia's cauldron with her looking at them. They then performed a series of spells into the cauldron.
"Darkness…" shouted Skane.
"…Resurrection!" added Makutal.

Just then, a ball of white flame blasted out of the cauldron's glowing liquid and flew around the lair then landed in front of Wolfia. She watched in amusement. A flea-like bird creature appeared when the ball of flame disappeared.

"Fleabird at your service!" The creature bowed down to Wolfia.

"Makutal, Skane… how did you two managed to revive Fleabird? I thought my henchmen were all destroyed by the six warriors!" asked the shocked Wolfia.

"Well my queen… with my power of resurrection and Skane's power to summon darkness rainfall…" answered Makutal.
"…we managed to develop a new skill that will bring your fallen henchmen back to aid you." added Skane.
"Wow this is awesome! Bring back all my fallen henchmen back now!" ordered Wolfia.
"But we can only performed this skill once in a while because our power will be deeply drained after each ritual." said Makutal.
"We need to rest, my queen." added Skane.Makutal and Skane then vanished in purple essence. Wolfia looked over at Fleabird.
"What are your orders, my queen?" asked Fleabird.
"Get to Sheepersia and begin your attack on the village. Go now!" replied Wolfia.

The teens arrived at the pit but had no idea of how to get to Sheepersia. They could not possibly jump into the pit. Just then, Falcon took out his pendant and found out it was glowing. It was getting brighter and brighter.

"The glow is hurting my eyes!" said Yuna.

All of a sudden they found out they were in a familiar place. The forest where they first entered Sheepersia. They saw Tasukoi.

"Welcome children once again into Sheepersia. I could sense that you are going to come here so I headed here. Your pendant must has transported all of you here, Falcon." greeted Tasukoi.

"It could…? Wow…" asked the excited Falcon.

"Yes, it is all about your concentration. If you wanna come here, you could from anywhere. And one more thing, you'll know if Sheepersia needs help when it is under attack." added Tasukoi."

"Wow THAT's so cool!" said Falcon. Just then, they felt a slight earthquake and Tasukoi knew Wolfia launched another assault on the village.
"Falcon, you must go now." said Tasukoi.
"Yes." replied Falcon. He ran to an open space. He took out his pendant and shouted, "Fiery Falcon Blaze!"

His feet lifted off the ground. In the mid air, he glowed in red. A red breast plate materialized first on his chest, with two circular holes at the back. A pair of beautiful white wings grew from where the two circular holes were. Amidst the transformation, a pair of weightless, crimson iron pants formed where his jeans were. A black helmet, shaped like a star, materialized on his head. He then flew off towards the village.

Fleabird had just finished another of his shockwave attack and a few huts are on fire. Suddenly, a ball of fire shot him from the back and he fell to the ground. He turned back and saw Falcon descending onto the ground.

"So you are one of the warriors that destroyed me long ago… now you gotta pay!" said Fleabird. "We'll see who is gotta pay! Sword of Fire!" exclaimed Falcon. He flew towards Fleabird and slashed him once but with minor effect. Fleabird casted a shockwave towards him and it hit him straight in his chest. He landed hard on the ground.

The teens and Tasukoi arrived just in time to see Falcon's defeat.

"So who is gotta pay now? Me?" Fleabird laughed evilly. Falcon tried to stand up but to no avail. Eddy ran towards Falcon and tried to help him up but he was too heavy. Falcon materialized back to his usual form.

"Go away you mutant freak!" shouted Eddy.

"Make me!" replied Fleabird. Eddy ran over to Fleabird and hit him in his chest but Fleabird felt nothing and in return, he slammed Eddy in his stomach and Eddy flew five metres away. The teens wanted to help but was scared of the ugly creature. Eddy tried to stand up but he got into kneeling position. He wanted to help his friend very much but he was not able to do so. He hit the grass with his fist and closed his eyes. Images of the past filled his mind. His good friend was being bullied by the school bully but he could not help him.

"Miss… a… chance… to… help… my… friend… but… I… don't… wanna… miss… this… NOW!" Eddy glowed in white. A white glow flew from the shrine and descended onto Eddy's neck.

The others watched in amazement but Tasukoi knew what was it. A thick black thread materialized around his neck with a white pendant. He opened his eyes and saw the white pendant. He felt energized again. He stood up and took a deep breath. He then held the pendant close to his heart. For moments he stood there, suddenly his eyes opened.

Then he took the pendant and shouted, "Icy Eddy Freeze!" His feet lifted off the ground. In the mid air, he glowed in white. A white breast plate materialized first on his chest, with a white circular net attached to the back. Amidst the transformation, a pair of weightless, white iron pants formed where his jeans were. A blue helmet, shaped like a star, materialized on his head. Eddy then landed on the ground.

He thought, "YES I DID IT!" The others felt relieved as Eddy could help Falcon.

"Hey ugly bird, look here!" Eddy shouted at Fleabird. He took the net off his back and prepared for battle. Fleabird casted a shockwave towards him but Eddy reflected it back at Fleabird. It hit Fleabird and he plummeted onto the ground. Fleabird got back on his feet and charged towards Eddy but he somersaulted behind him and shot sharp icicles at Fleabird. Fleabird let out a cry before vanishing.

The teens ran over to Falcon and helped him up. Tasukoi asked Eddy to help the villagers as their huts were on fire. Eddy ran towards the burning huts and took his net and fan at the burning huts. It created an enormous gust that blew off the fire. The villagers were grateful to Eddy for saving their homes. Eddy materialized back to his usual form and ran back to the group.

"Thanks Eddy." said the exhausted Falcon.
"Wow Eddy you were awesome out there!" complimented Kit.
"You've grant control of the ice pendant so make good use of it, Eddy!" said Tasukoi.
"Yeah I will…" replied Eddy.
Back at the lair, Wolfia looked at her crystal ball and began to curse the teenagers and Tasukoi.
"No worries my queen…" said Makutal.
"…we will get them next time!" added Skane.The trio's evil laughter filled the lair.
