Chapter 6 – Unstoppable
"Than why did you miss the sing-off?" questioned Simon angrily.
"I was at the...the...the football...football party," answered Alvin wincing as he felt energy ripple around the room.
Simon's eyes glowed brightly and lunarium cycled into view around him. A massive blue aura began to grow larger and larger as lines and spikes up yellow began to appear in it. Alvin took a step back as Simon let out a terrifying howl of rage and anguish.
"AAAAALLLLLVVVVVIIIIINNNNN!" screamed Simon his aura exploding outwards.
The whole school began to shake and Alvin gulped. He had really screwed up this time...
Alvin threw himself to the ground as twenty brightly glowing spears of pure lunarium ripped through the air where he had just been. Flooding as much lunarium as he safely could into his veins he pushed himself off the ground. Flipping through the air he landed and jumped forwards just a immense crushing wave of lunarium descended on where he had landed. Landing in front of Simon he remembered Simon's words about his scent.
Wrapping his arms around Simon he prayed that this would work. He got his answer as a wave of lunarium sent him flying backwards. Landing crouched against the wall he propelled himself forward onto a beam hanging over the audience area. He didn't need to look back to see that the place on the wall he had just been was completely destroyed.
Alvin twisted and spun and ducked and dived along the beam as spear after spear, wave after wave, flurry after flurry of lunarium flew past him. Simon was so lost in his anger that the auditorium was being destroyed by the attacks he was giving out. To make matters worse he was too busy dodging Simon's attacks to transport them someplace safer. A blast of energy connected with the beam and Alvin transformed into his human form as he fell through the air.
Landing with a thump he waved his hand creating a thin barrier of red lunarium just as another wave of blue and yellow lunarium crashed into it. Alvin moved as his barrier shattered and tried to think of what to do. He was nowhere near as controlled in his lunarium as Simon and even though he was more powerful he didn't want to harm Simon. But it seemed he might have no choice. Both Simon's eyes and his aura were slowly tainting and if Simon fell fully into the taint he could probably destroy the entire city.
Alvin took a deep breath and jumped out towards Simon from the wall he had silently moved behind. Simon who had lost track of him widened his eyes in surprise and prepared to blast Alvin. As a spear of blue lunarium ripped through his left shoulder Alvin wrapped his hands around his still chipmunk brother and transported them both away in a tornado of red lunarium.
Brittany stepped out from behind the curtain she had been hiding behind. Her mouth was hanging open and she couldn't believe what she had just seen. She had been leaving with Ian when she felt something was wrong. Why in the world was she going with Ian, he had practically proven he was evil. After struggling for a few minutes she had remembered what Ian had done to them.
She had looked to her sisters to get them to run away from Ian with her. Both she could somehow tell by looking in their eyes that they were still blinded by Ian. Confused she had shouted something quickly to Ian, turned and rushed away. She had remembered Simon saying he was going to stay behind and rushed to the auditorium. Simon and Alvin had convinced them Ian was evil, maybe he could help her rescue her sisters.
But when she had entered the auditorium she had barely relived her eyes. Spears, waves, blasts, beams, balls and hundreds of other things made of blue energy had been flying through the room. Simon had been standing in the middle of the stage hurling them in seemingly random directions. It wasn't until she caught sight of Alvin that she figured out what was going on. Simon was attacking Alvin for some reason.
She had moved forward to ask them what was going on when Alvin dropped down from the beam hanging above the audience area. It wasn't him dropping from such a height that had scared her. No it was the fact he turned into a human as he did so. Than the human Alvin had started using strange red energy to block the blue energy Simon was using. She had thought she could get no more confused when Alvin had grabbed Simon and disappeared in a tornado of red energy.
Blinking a few times Brittany decided what she should do. She would go and talk to Theodore, maybe he could tell her what was going on...
Aaron let out a groan as he opened his eyes and struggled to his feet. Looking around he was glad to find he was exactly where he had been before he passed out. Blinking a few times he shut his eyes and began to center himself. Searching through his very being he tried to find what had caused him such pain. All he had done was try to transport himself to another location. He had done so countless times without pain, what had changed?
As he searched through himself Aaron was surprised by the changes he felt. It was obvious he had changed greatly by...dieing. His lunarium core that had always been at the center of his being was gone. In it's place was instead a feeling of limitless power the flowed through his entire body. Almost as if he had flooded his body with lunarium without being aware of it. As he continued looking Aaron came closer and closer to a single conclusion.
Where he had always used his power to bend reality to make himself human. Than bend it again to return to normal afterward. Now something had changed. He was humannow, but he was also a chipmunk.No longer would he need to bend reality to be one or the other, he was both. Shacking his head at this realization Aaron withdrew from inside himself and searched for Simon again. Two seconds later a frown spread across his face.
Simon was outputting some serious power. But that wouldn't be a big problem except for the fact part of the power was tainted. Something or someone had pissed of Simon so bad that he was tainting. And by the rate his power was increasing he would be fully tainted in about an hour maybe two. Rubbing his face Aaron allowed his power to rise up.
The air around him rippled and black lightning flicker across his body and the ground around him. Stone ripped out of the ground and a heavy pressure descended all around him. Snapping his now brightly glowing black eyes open Aaron turned and faced to his left.
"I'm coming Simon," whispered Aaron.
Before vanishing in a black blur...
Alvin and Simon reappeared in a whirlwind of red energy in the middle of the abandoned baseball stadium just outside of town. Alvin was immediately thrown backwards by a powerful blast of lunarium. Groaning as he flew backwards through the air Alvin surged the faint bit of power he was unable to use in his chipmunk body through himself. Flipping he pushed his feet against the ground and skidded to a slow stop.
Wincing he put his right hand over his left shoulder and was unsurprised to feel blood. Looking up he immediately twisted to avoid a thin slashing wave of lunarium that ripped past him. Turning he looked at Simon who was standing in the middle of the field seemingly growling heavily. His aura was still completely visible around him and was still turning more and more yellow.
"Simon! You need to calm down!" shouted Alvin loudly.
Simon's eye twitched and he threw back his head, "RRRAAAGGGHHHHHHHHHH!" howled Simon as his aura increased in size as he shifted into his human body.
Alvin winced as he felt Simon's power increase even more. Though he was stronger than his brother he knew that if they continued fighting he would stand no chance. Breathing heavily Alvin gathered lunarium around his body like a shell. That would at least reduce the damage when Simon's attacks started to hit him. He was already unable to use Aaron's sword thanks to his shoulder wound. He needed both hands to wield it with any skill and he couldn't even feel his entire left arm.
Simon raised his hand and Alvin swore as blasts and waves and spears began to rip through the air. Increased in power by Simon's human form they were faster and harder to dodge than before. But Alvin managed as he twisted, dived, dodged, ducked, spun and jumped out of the way. A few spears he reflected with his lunarium shell and he intercepted a few blasts with his own blasts of lunarium.
Alvin was really starting to feel the strain of having so little control over his lunarium. One, he was already running out of lunarium to use and two, he could barely do anything with the lunarium he did have. Sighing Alvin jumped backwards and sent out a wave of lunarium to counter Simon's own wave of lunarium. The blue and red energy slammed together and struggled for a few seconds before exploding.
Panting heavily Alvin looked up at Simon, "Dammit Si, calm down already!" he shouted.
"Calm...you want me to be calm...I AM CALM!" screamed Simon as his aura once again increased in size.
"You look anything but calm to me," said Alvin, desperate to keep Simon talking so he could recharge his reserves of power.
"Who are you to judge me Alvin, you who barely knows anything about me!" snarled Simon loudly.
Alvin felt as if someone had punched him in his gut and the look on his face must have showed it.
"Don't look so surprised, you said you loved me Alvin, but all you really care about is yourself!" howled Simon.
"Where were you these last weeks as I battled waves of Tainted alone? Where were you when we were supposed to sing-off? Where were you when we were supposed to hang out with Theodore?" questioned Simon relentlessly.
"I...I was..." stumbled Alvin.
"At FOOTBALL!" spat Simon his aura increasing again, "You tossed us aside...me aside... for football!" whispered Simon painfully.
"When I was told I became Litter Monitor I was so excited, finally someone had acknowledged me, but it was a lie, and when I turned to you to defend me...you did nothing, what kind of brother are you, didn't I mean more to you than that jerk Ryan!" screamed Simon his aura increasing again.
"Simon...you...I," stuttered Alvin.
"Keep your worthless words to yourself TRAITOR!" snarled Simon, "I'm going to make sure you never have to worry about anything but football again."
"Si, please," started Alvin.
"SILENCE! Only my brothers, friends or my boyfriend get to call me Si, you are none of those," spits Simon before starting to walk forward.
Alvin takes a step back as he clutched his good hand over his heart. At Simon's words it felt like someone had ripped it out. He could barely breath. But he struggled to remain conscious as Simon stopped walking and held out his hand. Blue energy seemed to condense until a solid icy Trident was held tightly in Simon's hand.
"I'm going to rip that crystal from around your neck Alvin, but first let me tell you something," said Simon quietly as his aura increased in size again and he spun the Trident in his hand.
"Did you know that each specialization has a special power associated to it? And that if you know the name of this power it increases in strength a hundred fold?" questioned Simon conversationally.
!FROZEN RIFT SPEARS!
Alvin watches horrified as Simon holds up his Trident. Small black dots appear in the air all around him and a long icy spear materializes and shoots out of them one at a time. Alvin screams as one after another they rip through his clothes and body. Blood flies through the air and Alvin's screams raise in volume but the spears keep coming. Finally Alvin finds himself slammed into the stadium wall as four spears rip through his arms and legs to hold him in place.
Alvin coughs up blood and looks up at Simon. Simon's eyes were almost completely yellow as was his aura. Simon had stopped spinning the Trident and was holding it at a slightly elevated angle. Simon's form seemed to blur as he began flying forward through the air.
"SAY GOODBYE ALVIN!" screams Simon
Alvin struggles to hold up his hand and almost lets out a scream of joy as Aaron's sword appears held tight in his wobbly hand. Holding the sword up in front of himself Alvin braces for impact. He didn't think he would survive this.
!BOOOOM!
A massive sonic boom ripped through the stadium. Signs and bleachers exploded into hundreds of pieces. The ground ripped and a massive crater began to form. Blood, wood and dust filled the air. And a massive cloud of smoke hid Alvin and Simon from view...
Brittany struggled to keep up with Theodore as he scurried down the road. For a pretty big chipmunk he was incredibly fast. Brittany had gone to the Seville household and told Theodore everything she had seen. As she talked his eyes and gotten wider and wider making her think he might not know anything about it. But when she had mentioned them both disappearing he had shut his eyes tight.
She saw a flash of green form under his hoodie and than he had pushed past her and taken off at a run. She had asked him what was going on and he had told her that Simon was tainting. She had asked what than meant and he had told her he would explain everything later. Brittany had accepted that and continued running after him.
Theodore meanwhile was panicking beyond belief. Not only had Brittany discovered one of his families many secrets. But Simon was becoming a tainted and he couldn't warp to them. They had someone subconsciously created a barrier around where they were and he was being forced to run there. Even more annoying Brittany had refused to go away and was following him so he couldn't move as fast as he wanted.
Extending his claws as they came to a gate he sliced through the rusty iron links and jumped through. Brittany quickly followed and as they rushed towards the stadium Theodore became more and more pale. He couldn't believe what his senses were telling him. Simon was almost completely tainted and Alvin was getting his ass kicked. Grabbing onto Brittany and ignoring her protests he summoned lunarium and jumped high over the stadium wall.
Landing on the topmost set of bleachers he had time to see Simon flying towards Alvin with a Trident in his hand and Alvin summon Aaron's sword. Immediately knowing that this clash would be bad Theodore summoned the strongest shield he could. When the stadium shook and everything around him was destroyed he breathed a sigh of relief at his foresight.
As the dust cleared Theodore was forced to blink as his mouth dropped open. It couldn't be...
Alvin blinked his eyes and the dust and smoke in front of him began to clear slightly. He was vaguely able to make out a big silhouette in front of him and that was it. Realizing nothing had slammed against Aaron's sword he began feeling himself with his senses. He was surprised to discover he had no additional wounds. Almost as if someone had stopped the attack against him. Sending his senses outwards though he frowned. The only person in right around him was his Simon.
Suddenly the smoke and dust was blown apart as a powerful wind ripped through the stadium. Alvin gasped and blinked again and again to make sure he was seeing what he was seeing. Standing sideways in front of him was a young man wearing a dark flowing black cloak. His long black hair was pulled back in a ponytail and his eyes were closed. Power in the form of black lightning seemed to ripple around him and his arm was held up in a blocking position.
Blood dripped to the ground as the young man turned and look over at him his eyelids opening to reveal piercing black eyes.
"Long time no see...Alvin," said Aaron with a small smile.
Alvin stuttered and stumbled over nonsense as he struggled to find something to say. But before he could continue talking Aaron had already turned to look at Simon. Aaron in a lightning fast movement batted Simon's trident aside and slammed his foot into Simon's chest. Simon was sent backwards with the force of a speeding bullet before slamming into the opposite stadium wall.
"Your brother is really pissed off Alvin, what the hell is going on?" questioned Aaron as he turned around completely to face Alvin ignoring Simon's slowly moving form completely.
"I...it's my fault," whispered Alvin.
"RRAAGGHHHHHH! WHOEVER THE HELL YOU ARE GET OUT OF MY WAY!" screamed Simon pushing himself off the wall and hurling his Trident forward with incredibly strength and speed.
"Him, he seems to be losing all sense of himself, I'll fix this and than we can talk," said Aaron turning and bending backwards.
The Trident flew right over his body at that exact moment and Aaron calmly reached up and plucked it out of the air. Bending back up he calmly flicker his wrist and sent the Trident flying back at Simon. Alvin watched with awe as the Trident seemed to appear instantly in front of his brother before slamming into his brothers shoulder and pinning him to the wall.
Alvin watched as Aaron started walking forward. He could barely sense Aaron at all but his power was visible for all to see. The ground cracked and exploded with each step he took. Lightning whipped around his body and his eyes literally glowed and crackled with power. The air around him was tight and heavy and seemed to shimmer. Something had changed in Aaron and it had obviously been a big one.
Simon gripped the Trident sticking out of his shoulders and ripped it out. His wounds bleed bright red blood as he snarled and transformed the Trident into a spear. With a howl he whipped the spear forward and immediately followed by creating and sending more. Aaron just continued walking forward. Spear after spearing seemed to fly through him with no visible effect. But when the final spear neared him he twisted, grabbed it and hurled it back at Simon all in the same second.
Simon turned the spear back into water before it could hit him and snarled. Extending his claws he coated them in lunarium and charged the last few steps between him and Aaron. Every fist he threw, every scratch he attempted, every spin and kick and everything else. Was effortlessly blocked and dodged by Aaron. Finally as Simon panted heavily in front of Aaron he pulled back his hand and than whipped it forward sending out a massive wave of lunarium triple the size of Aaron himself.
Across the field Alvin gulped, Aaron didn't stand a chance against such a close range attack. Sure enough the attack completely engulfed Aaron and seemed to destroy him. Smoke covered the air and Simon started laughing insanely. His power fluctuating wildly as his eyes and aura shifted completely yellow. Suddenly Alvin's eyes widened as an incredible power filled his senses.
"Sorry for this Simon," whispered Aaron's voice.
A pure sword of white energy ripped through Simon's heart as the smoke disappeared. Sure enough standing completely unharmed exactly where he had been was Aaron. Except he looked different, even from across the field Alvin could tell. Aaron's minutes before pure black hair had turned completely white and though he couldn't see it, he was sure his eyes had to. But that wasn't it, his hand was held tightly around a sword made of pure white lunarium.
The sword was also currently sticking straight in and out of Simon's body. Exactly where his heart should be. Simon appeared to be in no pain though. He was gasping and sputtering of course but he appeared to only be annoyed and not in pain. Aaron pulled the sword out though and it started. Simon's eyes and aura flared brightly white as he let out an echoing blood curtailing scream. Aaron took pity on Simon and chopped him lightly in the back of the neck knocking him easily unconscious.
Suddenly all feeling of Aaron's power disappeared as he turned around. Running a hand through his now silver hair Aaron looked over at Alvin. His silver eyes twinkled brightly as he waved Alvin over. They had a lot to talk about...
"ARGH! HOW DARE HE RETURN!" snarled Lord Shadow.
With a flick of his fingers Lord Shadow obliterated the weak Tainted that had brought the message to him. Turning to his four most trusted soldiers he pointed at the yellow haired one.
"You, the father is still alive...fix that," said Lord Shadow, "And you!" he shouted pointing at the red haired one, "Destroy Aaron and the Chipmunks!" snarled Lord Shadow.
Turning around he mumbled quietly to himself before sensing no one had moved. Spinning around his eyes glowed and his power filled the room.
"GO!"
And they went...
Aaron blinked and looked up into the sky from his position on one of the still grassy parts of the baseball field. He had reverted to his chipmunk self for his talk with Aaron. It had been an interesting conversation especially when he had told Aaron to revert and sit with him. Aaron had blinked a few times before mutter something. It was hard to believe what Aaron had told him than. Aaron had changed greatly because of the fusion and dieing.
There had been many changes but the biggest was Shade. Shade was gone completely from Aaron's mind. But Aaron had disappeared as well, Aaron was only calling himself that to make it remain simple. When he had died it had been too soon after the fusion. His personalities had been permanently bonded and even though the part that made him Aaron was still there. He wasn't just Aaron anymore.
The next big shock for Alvin had been when Aaron told him he had no idea to transform. Because he was as much human now as he was chipmunk. Even though he could feel and sense his chipmunk side, he had no idea how to change. It took a few hours of trial and error and talking and trading ideas with Alvin. But Aaron eventually managed it. As a chipmunk he had also changed.
If anything he now resembled Simon but with silver eyes and no glasses. Oh and his fur had to be at least an entire shade darker and he was more muscular. So maybe he didn't resembles Simon exactly, but it was a good comparison. Speaking of Simon, Alvin had begged Aaron to explain what he had done. Aaron had told him that after coming back he had discovered his crystal and the core inside him was gone.
In it's place was power, power that constantly flooded through his entire body. But along with that power was knowledge. Everything the crystal had been he now was. In reality the easiest way to put it was that he had become the obsidian crystal. All it's knowledge and power was now his to command, to control without limits. But not only that, his command of it was so great that it could no longer be sensed by anyone.
Alvin had jumped in at that point. Saying that he had senses Aaron when he started using that strange white lunarium. Aaron nodded and gave the simplest answer he could think of.
"I'm not used to it," he said.
Alvin had immediately asked him just what exactly the white lunarium had been. Aaron took a deep breath and attempted to explain. Of all the crystals in the world the obsidian crystal was the most powerful of them all. It contained within it incredible dark and light powers. But when his subconscious had tapped into the crystal and Shade had been created. Only the dark powers had been drawn on. He had never known about the light powers of the crystal until he became it.
The light powers were just as strong as the dark ones. He just had absolutely no idea how to use them properly. The sword of white lunarium he had used was all the knowledge contained. Where his knowledge of the dark powers were incredible. He knew next to nothing about the light. Only the white sword, it was a powerful purifying tool. It could be used to cure even the most wounded of person.
By plunging it into Simon's broken heart. It had healed it and instantly that had removed any Taint Simon was feeling. Alvin had been impressed and for hours they had continued talking. Until suddenly Simon started to groan and move. Alvin had been on his feet and at Simon's side that Aaron thought possible. Showing that sometimes love was more powerful than even the most ancient of limitless power.
Slowly walking over to Simon and Alvin he turned and winked at a seemingly empty part of the bleachers. His wink was immediately greeted with a flare of green light and the disappearance of two presences.
It seemed he would need to talk to Theodore soon as well...
