CHAPTER FIVE
Strange Encounters
"So how's he doing, doctor?" Logan asked as he turned to Dr. Reynolds.
Dr. Reynolds is a young looking doctor, although he is in his mid-thirties. He has a fatherly role to all of his young patients and it seems to help speed up their recovery, by talking to them and making them feel like nothing was wrong. So he was the perfect doctor to have for the kid.
"After a while of talking with him, I finally found out that his name is Spencer." Dr. Reynolds replied as he consulted his clipboard. "And he's doing fine, although he's going to have to stay here for a while. That cut on his arm was really nasty and he had a mild case of blood poisoning, but we're treating that right now. Along with that, he had some bruising, some abrasions, and was a little bit dehydrated. But he's fine and is now resting."
"Oh, good." Kendall breathed a sigh of relief. "That's really good news! Thank you."
"Really, he should be thanking you guys," Dr. Reynolds replied with a charming smile and a short nod. "If you didn't get him here in time, then…" he trailed off his sentence and shook his head. "Well, we don't have to worry about that now." He cleared his throat. "Would you like to see him?"
Kendall looked at his friends and saw that they were looking back at him, not sure what to do. That's the only time that he didn't really like being the 'leader' of the group, when he didn't really have answers for them.
"Yeah, I think it would be a good idea if we see how he's doing." Kendall replied after a second. "It would make me feel better anyway." He added to himself before turning back to Dr. Reynolds again. "Yeah," he repeated. "Let's go see him."
"Alright, follow me." Dr. Reynolds replied and turned on his Crocs to lead the guys to the room.
"Kendall, you go on ahead, I'm going to take Katie back to the Palm Woods and then I'll be back to get you guys." Mrs. Knight said her hands protectively on Katie's shoulders. "Ok?"
"That's ok mom, we'll walk." Kendall replied and held still as his mom kissed him on the cheek. After seeing what had happened to Spencer, and knowing that he didn't have a mother, Kendall wasn't embarrassed to have his mom show him affection in public. "See ya, mom. Later, Katie."
"Bye" Katie gave a small wave, hesitated, and gave her brother a hug around the waist before leaving with her mother.
"C'mon guys."
Kendall, Logan, James, and Carlos followed Dr. Reynolds to Spencer's room. Dr. Reynolds stopped outside the closed door and waited until he had everyone's attention before speaking. "He may be a little woozy right now, so try not to let him talk too much. But also see if you can get some information out of him, to know what happened and if there's someone that we need to be looking into."
"Sure thing, Dr. Reynolds." Logan replied with a nod.
"Better hurry, visiting hours are almost over." Dr. Reynolds gave a small wave in departure and turned to finish the rest of his rounds.
James grabbed the doorknob and pushed the door open softly, careful not to wake up Spencer if he was sleeping. As the four boys walked into the room, they stopped in their tracks, noticing that there were five kids standing around his bed. They all looked up as the boys entered and froze, looking like they were deer caught in headlights. Kendall, James, Carlos, and Logan stared back at them, not sure what t do or what to say. Suddenly there was a strong rush of wind that pushed the guys backwards a few steps, using their arms to block the wind from their face.
When it subsided, and Big Time Rush pulled their hands from their faces, there was nobody in the room.
"Did you guys just see that?" Carlos asked with a whisper. His friends nodded, not saying anything. "Good, I thought I was the only one that saw ghosts." Logan slapped his forehead and James and Kendall ignored him.
Kendall walked over to the bed and smiled a little bit when he saw Spencer was awake, just staring at the ceiling. "Hey kid, how are you?" he asked.
"Who are you?" he asked, shrinking away from Kendall, as if he was afraid of being touched.
"My name's Kendall and these are my friends, James, Carlos, and Logan." Kendall replied, taking a small step back so he wouldn't scare Spencer. "We found you in front of our apartment. Can you remember anything from what happened?"
"All I remember is being with this girl, who had been taking care of me." Spencer replied quietly, his blonde hair falling into his cherubic face. He squeezed his eyes shut, thinking hard. "I didn't get her name, but she was wearing a tattered cloak, and she was really nice." He smiled a little bit. "She promised she would take care of me."
"Is that all you remember?" Logan asked, moving closer to the bed.
Spencer nodded quietly, and then gasped when he remembered something else. "Yeah, but she was just here!"
"Huh?" Carlos's confused expression mirrored his friends'. "There was no one else in here when we came in."
"No! She was just here!" Spencer continued, his voice starting to get louder and louder. "I just saw her, her and her brothers and sister. She was just here! I swear!"
"It's alright, no need to get worked up over it." James chided and let out a sigh. "You should get some rest," he turned to his friends. "We'd better be going, guys."
"Ok, see ya later, Spencer." Logan patted the small boy on the head. "I hope you feel better soon."
"Thank You" Spencer replied and closed his eyes, rolling on his side. Kendall pulled his blanket up higher, over his shoulder, and left the room, following his friends.
"I'm glad he's ok." James commented, voicing everyone's thoughts as they left the hospital and started the short walk home. "I was getting really worried."
"You and me both." Carlos agreed.
The four changed the subject, not really that comfortable talking about hospitals and someone being in one, and soon were laughing and joking around, shoving and jostling each other as they walked down the sidewalk. It was late, so there weren't many people around.
"Oh you're such a turd, oh yeah, a giant turd." Carlos started to sing at eh top of his lungs, causing his friends to laugh and join in. "And you look like a turd and you smell like a turd!"
"Wow, that song is very fitting."
"Who said that?" Carlos asked, stopping in his tracks as he looked around. "Was it a ghost?"
"There's no such thing as ghosts." Logan replied. He let out a gasp, his eyes growing wide as four kids jumped down from a rooftop and landed in front of him.
One had blonde hair and green eyes, another had brown hair and green eyes, there were two girls who were twins with shoulder length brown hair and blue eyes, and last but not least a short girl with blonde hair and blue-green eyes. All of them were smirking at the four boys, who took a couple of steps back, in fear.
"Who are you?" Kendall demanded.
"I'm Koto," the blonde with green eyes stated as he smirked, brushing his hair off of his forehead. "That's Reihu, Tori, Tora, and Cindy." His smirk grew wider. "Not that it makes a difference; you're going to die soon anyway!"
"What are you talking about?" Logan stammered, taking another step back.
Koto leapt high into the air, flipped once, and then aimed towards Kendall as he came back down. Kendall gasped in shock, as Koto turned into a wolf in thin air, teeth bared, snarling loudly. Kendall squeezed his eyes shut and crossed his arms over his face. He heard the sound of the wolf whimpering in pain and he opened his eyes. Standing in front of him was a boy with silver hair and silver eyes. He was holding onto a large hammer, pointing it between the wolf's eyes, letting it know that he wouldn't hesitate to kill it.
"This is just like my dream." Kendall whispered.
The boy looked over his shoulder and smiled gently at Kendall, his silver eyes glowing, before turning back to Koto, who turned back into his human form, glaring fiercely. Next to the boy with silver hair was a girl with red hair and red eyes, a girl with purple hair and purple eyes, a boy with gold hair and gold eyes, and a small boy with blue hair and blue eyes. They were all wearing some sort of fighter clothes, something that Big Time Rush had never seen before. They were all standing in front of Big Time Rush protectively.
"You might as well leave, Koto, you know you're going to get beat." The girl with red hair stated, sounding bored. "Like usual."
"We're not giving up that easily." Reihu growled, his sharp canines gleaming in the street lights.
"You never do." The girl with purple hair and purple eyes replied.
The boy with silver hair tightened his grip on the handle of his hammer and swung it in a circle, twisting his body along with it. Once he spun in a full circle, he slammed to a stop, hitting the hammer in thin air. "Megaton Drive!" he cried. James, Carlos, Kendall, and Logan watched in amazement as a form of energy turned into the shape of an arrow and shot towards the five newcomers.
They jumped over the energy blast and charged towards the multi-colored kids in front of Big Time Rush.
The girl with the red hair faced off against Koto, easily blocking his kicks and punches. She rolled to the side as he aimed a kick towards her ribs, and cupped her hands together, her hands glowing red. "Flame Thrower!" she called and shoved her hands forward. A large fireball shot forwards, aiming towards Koto. As he was distracted, trying to beat out the flames that caught onto his shirt, the girl ran forward and kicked him in the chest, sending him back into a trashcan.
"Reihu, you might as well just run home now," the girl with purple hair stated as she held up her hand.
A black orb appeared, with purple lightning flashing around the orb. Reihu frowned and charged towards her, punching her in the chest. She stumbled back a few steps and tilted her head to the side as Reihu tried to punch her face. She grabbed onto his wrist and held him tightly as she slowly moved the orb towards his chest. Reihu screamed in agony as the orb got pushed deeper and deeper into him. Before it was fully consumed into his body, the girl closed her hand, the orb disappearing, and kneed him in the chest and the chin, shoving his backwards.
"You ready?" the boy with silver hair as the boy with gold hair. The boy with gold hair nodded in reply and to the boys' surprise, wings grew out from their backs and they flew high up into the air.
"Not so fast!" Tori shouted and wings came out from hers and Tora's backs, they followed the two boys into the sky.
"Razor Wind!" The boy with silver hair waved his arms around and a strong gust of wind caught Tori and Tora into a cyclone of wind, tossing them around.
"Thunder Strike!" The gold haired boy raised his arms into the air, closing his hands into fists, his hands glowing fold. A small thunder cloud appeared, lightning flashing in it. The boy moved his arms down towards Tori and Tora and a lightning bolt came out of the cloud and struck them.
"Spirit Staff, Unfading Promise!" the boy with blue hair and blue eyes called, holding out his hand. A brown, plain looking staff appeared in his hands. He twirled it around as a complicated symbol appeared on the ground under him in a light blue light. The symbol caused everything around him to glow blue, freezing whatever came into contact with it.
"Oh no!" Cindy cried, realizing that she was stuck.
"Water Spirits, Cascade Rush!" Sydney moved the staff forward and a rush of water erupted from the end, soaking Cindy and shoving her backwards out of the freeze point. He moved his arm to the side and his staff disappeared. "Spirits!" He called, raising his arms into the air. His whole body glowed a pale blue. Smirking, he spun around a few times, before sending a screw kick into Cindy's chest. Koto caught her before she hit the ground.
"We're not through here!" he snarled before there was a rush of wind and he disappeared along with Reihu, Tori, and Tora.
"You never are." The boy with silver hair replied.
The five of them turned back around to face Big Time Rush, who was staring in shock, awe, and fear. Eyes wide and mouths dropped open. The five of them closed their eyes and there was a blinding white light. When it faded, they were wearing normal clothes and their hair turned to a black color, their eyes different shades of blue. But it was obvious that they were all related to each other.
"Wow that was close." The smallest boy stated, dimples appearing in his cheeks. "Are you guys ok?"
"Who are you?" James questioned, blinking rapidly. "What happened?"
"Wow, usually we get worse questions." One of the girls chuckled quietly. "I'm Riley, this is my twin Rhuben, Patrick and Noah our twin brothers, and Sydney our baby brother."
"And as to what happened," Patrick spoke up. "That's something that's going to take a while to explain."
"How did you do that?" Logan asked, his eyes narrowing. "It's scientifically impossible."
"It would be," Noah replied, his quiet voice barely reaching his ears. "If everything in science was explainable." He cleared his throat. "We're not humans, well, not full anyway. We're Elementals and so are you."
"What?" Big Time Rush cried in unison.
"There's no way we're….what you just said." Kendall denied, shaking his head. "We don't have powers like you do."
"Yes you do," Sydney insisted, his eyes shining. "You just haven't awakened yet. Look at your hands."
Kendall, James, Logan, and Carlos looked down and saw that their hands were glowing. Kendall's were glowing a light blue, James' was glowing white, Logan's was glowing green, and Carlos' was glowing red.
"See, you're Elementals, just like us." Rhuben smirked.
"I don't get it," Logan shook his head. "What's going on?"
"All of your questions will be answered soon," Riley replied, coolly. "But for right now, they can't be." She turned to her siblings. "We have to go." She turned back to Big Time Rush and a smirk identical to Rhuben's slid onto her face. "You'll see us again. Real soon."
In a blink, the five of them were gone.
But Big Time Rush could have sworn that they had seen different colored blurs, where they were just standing…
