Chapter 2 of Horned Past
Horned Rebel
Setting 1 The beginning
-Marven- Like I said before I am a botanist in fact I came from a family of botanist. My dad was a genius and I wanted to be just like him. Which is why I never told Doom about my ice powers. I thought he might want me to become a soldier which would take me away from my work. Most Matrixsys don't have powers. Usually it is only the royals that are blessed with powers. I enjoyed using my powers because they help me preserve my specimens. I was working on something very important when my life changed forever. You see I was there that night when you lost your sanity Shadow. I wish I hadn't, but I was.
Setting 2 The flashback.
Marvin was in his house experimenting when the phone rang.
-Marven- Hello.
-Doom- Marvin I need you and Stygian to go and fetch Shadow for me. I sense that he is in grave danger. You must hurry he does not have much time left use your teleporter watches. He is somewhere near mount Drago. If he wakes up before I am done preparing the operating chamber you are allowed to use brute force.
-Marven- Oh my what is wrong with the prince should I get King Alex?
-Doom- You should hurry to my nephews' side and stop asking dumb questions or else.
-Marvin- Sir yes Sir.
-Present Marvin- If I had known what he had instore for you I would have never brought you to him. I am so sorry your Highness.
-Shadow- So that means that you were one of the Matrixsys that I woke up to.
-Present Marvin - Yes in fact I still have the scare on my arm from where you bit me Sparks.
-Sparks- Oh sorry about that Marvin.
-Rachel- Don't apologies he does not deserve it. You see Shadow he brought you to that maniac let me kill him.
-Shadow- No I want to hear the rest of his story.
-Present Marven- Thank you now, where was I? Oh yes, I saw Doom possess you and make you kill your father and attack your sister. He also hurt the dragons and cursed his own mother. I saw my own kind killing the Deamonatas and it reminded me of the civil wars that plagued our people until your great grandparents made Princess Eve and Prince Metatron go threw with their arranged marriage. That day was one of the best days of my life. It meant no more fighting or, so I thought. I threw down my weapon and I tried to convince my fellow Matrixsys to do the same.
- Marvin - Stop we are past this. The Deamonatas are our friends. Stop this since less war.
-Matrixsys 1- What are you doing you idiot? Pick back up your weapon. Do you want Doom to kill you for being a traitor?
- Marvin - We are the traitors don't you see this war is stupid.
-Matrixsys 3- What can we do? Did you see what Doom had the prince do? Shadow killed his own father and Doom is over their fighting Drago and winning. What kind of a chance to do we have rebelling against someone like that. I want to live.
-Matrixsys 2- And besides this is not a war it is a slaughter that we are winning. With Doom as our leader the rest of the universe will be ours. Hahahah (He said as he cut off a Deamonata's head.)
- Marvin - No I want no part of this. (He ran and hid.)
-Doom- Give it up Drago you are far too old and weak to win this fight.
-Drago- Never Doom. I will make you suffer for what you have done today. (He blasted him with more of his fire breath, but with the sword to shield Doom it did not do much.)
-Doom- Try as you might Drago you are not going to break this sword. Sapphire worked extra hard on it.
-Drago- You do not deserve such a weapon. Sapphire should have never taken pity on someone like you.
-Doom- She did not take pity on me she was supposed to love me. Same thing goes for Ella, but they betrayed me both of them.
-Drago- No they saw the tyrant that lived with in you. You are so much like your father… (Doom used his sword on Drago.) Ahh! (It struck him.)
-Doom- Don't ever compare me to my father. I am better then him in every way. I will lead the Matrixsys into a new age too bad you will not be around to see it.
-Dern- (He cut Marvin with his Tail stinger. Then wrapped it around him.) Enjoying the show Marvin. Why aren't you fighting?
-Ashriel- Because, little Marvin does not want to fight. My telepathy tells me everything.
-Dern- You don't want to fight haha I think that Doom will want to hear about this.
-Marvin- You are both going to get what is coming to you. Especially you Dern.
-Dern- Hahaha I am not afraid of your meaningless predictions thanks to your plant potions I can mate with any creature I want. So even if I do die my legacy will continue my brilliant work. Too bad you will not be around to meet them. Come on I can't wait to see the look on Dooms face when he finds out about the true feelings of his favorite little spy.
-Doom- (Back with Drago and Doom it looked like Doom was going to win the battle. Drago was badly injured.) You should have never taken Ella in Drago it would have saved you all this grief.
-Drago- I will never regret what I did for her. I loved her just as much as the rest of my ken. Unlike you, what you did to your brother is unforgivable. He lies there dead, but it is you who should be dead.
-Doom- Hahaha Alex sealed his own fate long ago and so have you. It is very fitting that you should be slain by this sword. Since it is the very same sword I used to kill Ella. I can't wait to tell Sapphire what her creation has done. (He cut himself one more then he used his sword to strike Drago, but the blades magic turned to ice when ice breath was used on it.)
-Ember- Not so fast Doom. (She was Thistle's mom and Drago's wife.)
-Drago- Ember you should not be here. I can handle Doom on my own.
-Ember- None since. You may have been the one who saved Ella, but I loved her just as much as you did.
-Doom- Two against one seems hardly fair for you two. (Another blast of fire was just unleashed.)
-Ebanee- How does three against one sound then.
-Doom- Hahaha I Ebanee I was hoping you would show up. (All of a sudden Ebanee started to clawing at Drago.)
-Ember- No Drago Ebanee why would you attack your own brother in-law?
-Ebanee- I don't know I can't control my body.
-Drago- Doom what have you done?
-Doom- I have not done anything now Shadow on the other hand is loving controlling your metal sister.
-Drago- Doom I swear you will pay for this. (He said trying to dodge the blows from Ebanee's claws.)
-Doom- I think not.
-Dern- Doom look what I have for you. Little Marvin here does not want to fight anymore.
-Marvin- What you are doing is wrong Doom. The Deamonatas and the dragons are our friends. Stop this now before it is too late. (Dern threw him to the ground then Doom blasted him on the arm.) AHH!
-Doom- Your behavior is very disappointing Marvin. I expected better from you. You were a good little spy after all you were the one who told me that Shadow snuck onto Alex's ship all of those years ago.
-Dern- Then I compelled their memories away. Should I do the same thing to him?
-Doom- No I want to make an example of him. There is no room for traitors among our ranks.
-Marvin- You are the traitor Doom all Alex and Ella ever did to you was love you and you destroyed them.
-Doom- (He blasted Marvin again.) They betrayed me. Alex knew I wanted Ella to love me, but he did not care and…
-Sam- (A young Deamonata threw a rock at Doom.) You did not deserve our queen. (Doom grabbed him with his tentacle.)
-Doom- Brave words they will be your last. Shadow come here. I want you to eat this pup. Show Marvin what he has done to you by bringing you to me. (Shadow was about to eat the little Deamonata, but then Marvin froze Doom's tentacle and it shattered setting Sam free. He ran.) Ahh! You, insolent little wretch. (He hit Marvin in the arm.)
-Marvin- Ahh! Kill me if you want Doom it does not matter because you will not win this war. (Doom grabbed him with the other tentacle chocking him.)
-Doom- We shall see about that. Since you warned me about Alex's boat ride you will enjoy a watery grave. (He put a teleporter watch on Marvin and he was teleported into the sea.)
-Marvin- Ahh (An alien shark attacked Marvin and he blacked out. He woke up later to find himself on an island.) Where am I?
-Cujo- Safe on an island far away from the shore line. You are lucky we found you.
-Marvin- We…
-Ocellus- Yes you would have died if we had not defeated that shark. And bandaged up your wounds.
-Marvin- Thank you and… Huh you two are Tegrays, but I thought you were extinct.
- Cujo - That is what we wanted your kind to think. But, when Prince Shadow found and saved us we knew it was time to come out of hiding. I only wish we could have saved him before well you remember the battle.
-Marvin- Yes, I do my efforts did nothing to stop that monster.
- Cujo - No you did a lot to help the dragons. Because of your distraction they were able to get Ebanee out of Shadow's range and you saved that Deamonata.
- Ocellus - We saved more of the Deamonatas tough. With our teleporter Gem we got them all out of there before the dragon's reinforcements arrived. In fact, they are waiting for us on Tato come on you must meet them.
-Marvin- No after what Doom just did to them. I don't think they want to see anybody from my race. I will just stay here. I can't go back to my own kind if I do Ashriel will find out about you.
-Ocellus - Well if that is what you want. We will not stop you. How ever we will come and visit you to see how you are getting along. As for the war like Doom said it has only just begun.
-Present Marvin- They did come and do just that. I was able to live off the birds that came to the island. It was a good life until that day.
- Cujo - Marvin thank goodness we found you my grandmother had a vision that today Doom would be destroyed by Princess Crystal of the Utopians.
-Marvin- This is terrible news you must let me use your teleporter gem to save the rest of my race. They are all connected to him threw the books of AckMan Rah raw. I know this because years ago dark magic tried to destroy me. Doom deserves to die, but they do not I could freeze them and…
-Cujo- We can't that stone does not teleport off planet and besides time is of the essence. We came here to save you.
-Marvin- I am not worth saving. I could not save my race or Shadow. I brought him to his downfall.
-Sam- No you saved me. I want you to live Marvin.
-Marvin- It is you.
-Cujo- He begged us to bring him. Don't you see Marvin your kind are not monsters only Doom is.
-Sam- And he deserves what is coming to him. You don't you saved me now please save yourself.
-Marvin- Ok I will freeze myself.
-Present Marvin- I did just that and later Sam unfroze me with his fire powers. He told me he got that power later. They also described the horror of the dark magic trying to destroy me while I was in the ice. Thankfully I was out cold during it. After that they begged me to come along, but I still refused to. Which is why I have no idea where the Deamonatas are. I am so sorry.
Setting 3 The flashback is over.
-Rachel- You see I told you he was evil. Now stand aside Zam and Shadow so I can destroy him.
-Zam- No I won't stand aside you big Meany. He has done nothing wrong that warrants obliterations.
-Rachel- Yes, he has. He took Shadow to Doom which led to his possession and he told Doom everything about Shadow hitching a ride on Dad's ship. After that Dad and Shadow's minds were wiped by Dern. Who is Esquire's Dad and because of him Esquire got to be born.
-Amethyst- So what we destroyed Esquire. So, he can't have me.
-Marvin- So wait Dern did have a kid.
-Amethyst- Yes with my dad's worst enemy Silvia who also had a kid with Ashriel. And since you knew them both you can tell us more about them.
-Rachel- No he can't, because he does not deserve to live another second. (She prepared to fire her arrow.)
-Shadow- Put the bow away Rachel you are not killing Marvin today or any other day. He was only following orders he had no way of knowing our uncle was a monster. Just like you think I am.
-Rachel- I don't think you're a monster Shadow.
-Shadow- I heard everything you said to Will.
-Rachel- I am sorry I said all those things. I don't think you are a monster you are my little brother and I love you.
-Shadow- I know you love me. But, you are still afraid of what they are going to do to me when we find them.
-Rachel- Aren't you?
-Shadow- Of cores I am afraid. Who wouldn't be afraid of that. But I want the killing to stop. Our races have been against each other for far too long.
-Rachel- No I don't have to listen to this. I am going to become the queen of the Deamonatas
-Shadow- Not just the Queen of the Deamonatas but also the Queen of the Matrixsys too. We are the only royals left on this planet.
-Rachel- I don't want that crown. You can have it if you are so bent on protecting him.
-Shadow- Rachel this needs to stop. What's gonna happen when we have kids and one of them looks like a Matrixsys. You know it could happen we both have the jeans inside of us. Are you going to look at them the same way you are looking at Marvin?
-Rachel- I would never do that to our kids because I am not DOOM!
-Shadow- You're certainly acting like him. You want to condemn an entire race to extinction just, because of what one of them did to you.
-Rachel- He did not just do it to me he did it to all of us.
-Shadow- Yes, he did. But, dad always said that when you are a leader you have to learn to forgive.
-Rachel- It is hard for me to forgive something like what happened to us.
-Shadow- I know that and I am not asking you to forgive Doom, because he does not deserve it, but Marvin and the rest of his race does. Because like I said they are an apart of us.
-Rachel- I don't want the rest of the Deamonatas to be more afraid of us when we find them.
-Shadow- They won't be afraid of us, because Marvin has ties with the Tegrays and he saved Sam.
-Rachel- But I'm scared. I've always been scare of what the future holds Shadow. You know that.
-Shadow- I know (He hugged her.) but, it is ok sis no matter what the future holds I am always going to be here for you.
-Rachel- And I will be here for you too. Alright fine Marvin can live, but I don't want to rule him. You can do that Shadow.
-Shadow- Fine. But sis.
-Rachel- Jason what have you done? (She said noticing that the teeth were moving like a compass.)
-Jason- What while Marvin was telling his story I activated the spell.
-Rachel- Why would you do that we did not know we could trust him at that point.
-Jason- I knew I could trust him. He saved me and Zam after all. And besides if anybody knows how it feels to be judged because of the way you look and what you are it is me.
-Rachel- I don't know if I ever will. I will keep a look out for Tato. (She flew up to the crow's nest.)
-Shadow- Well that could have gone better.
-Will- No I think you handled that well Shadow. I was going to step into well the fire, but you spoke with very much wisdom. I think your father would be proud.
-Shadow- Thanks Will.
-Marvin- Do you think she will ever trust me your highness.
-Shadow- I don't know Marvin my sister does not trust easily.
-Will- It took her a while to trust even me. And I had to fall out of multiple trees, but now I am her boyfriend. I would go talk to her right now, but I think she wants some time alone.
-Marvin- I am glad I could help you all. If you don't want me here I could just go.
-Shadow- No it is already set, and we are all headed in the right direction. So, I guess we should just get ready for the best or the worst. (He said as he began to walk toward the bow of the ship.)
-Zam- I don't understand why Rachel is being a big grumpy meanny pants Amethyst. Marvin is a good guy.
-Dash- Sometimes the scars of our past never truly heal easily. Julie's scar maybe gone, but it is still inside of her.
-Zam- I don't get it.
-Amethyst- He's talking about the scar she got when the urser bit her. It is the same mark that made her unable to have a smeet until well you. Remember we told you all about the universal wars and everything after that.
-Zam- I know, but Doom did that not Marvin. And that scar is gone. I'm confused.
-Dash- Let me put it in another way. That day when Julie got that mark she killed Bearringer and Speedy and she still feels that pain every day. I have the scars of those wars too. This eye is a representation of the fact that I could not save my mom or dad that terrible day.
-Zam- I guess I still have a long way of learning to go. Even if I am great and powerful. I am still very young. You guys have been through so much.
-Dash- Thanks to Marvin you will get to experience all of those future feelings. Which is one of the reasons why I am not afraid of him.
-Faith- Me either. Also, I don't think Rachel is afraid of Marvin either she is just afraid of what he may do.
-Zam- Well I know we can trust him. He saved us after all. Thank you, Marvin. (He said hugging him.)
-Amethyst- Kierra what am I going to do? (She said to Kierra taking her away from everyone else.)
-Kierra- I'm not sure Master. But, I think you should tell the Council about this and Zim.
-Amethyst- But he is going to be so mad.
-Kierra- Well you did not expect him to not find out, did you?
-Amethyst- Well I kind of thought I could lie about the fact that Shadow and the others found the Deamonatas on their own. Then tell dad that I just heard about it, but I didn't expect to find a Matrixsys. If I tell the Council, they might want to destroy him. One good deed does not exactly excuse all the evil that his kind did. You saw how Rachel reacted.
-Kierra- You are the Prime Member, so they must listen to you. Which means they can't destroy him.
-Marvin- I am sorry that my presents caused you all such grief. I was content to live without being discovered but you were in danger.
-Dib- And we thank you for your help.
-Thistle- And I thank you for helping to save my father and mother.
-Marvin- I did not recognize you at first, but you are the prince of the Dragons, aren't you?
-Thistle- One of them, but yes.
-Marvin- It is an honor to meet you and all of you royals.
-Amethyst- You can drop the formalities Marvin. I have always hated those. It is a pain in the butt to be referred to as royal when you think you are no better then anybody else.
-Marvin- You are defiantly Sapphire's descendant.
-Shadow- Tato how. Max drop the anchor it is time to go ashore. (They all went ashore Marvin put back on his cloak.)
Setting 4 Tato
Shadow led everyone to the last place he saw the Tegrays, but when they got their they found nothing.
-Shadow- Hello is anybody here?
-Paige- Maybe you should howl Shadow.
-Shadow- (He howled. And the Tegrays started to emerge from the bushes along with the rest of the Deamonatas, but they were all a bit hesitant.) We found you. Oh I am so happy to see you all safe. (They still did not come that close.)
-Rachel- It is ok everything is fine Shadow is no longer possessed. We came looking for you.
-Shadow- I'm sorry about everything I did to you all. I never meant to cause you so much pain. You were my family and friends and I loved you all. Please I know I don't deserve your forgiveness but please except it.
-Rolfe- (He ran to Shadow and Rachel) Shadow thank you so much for your apology, but it was not necessary we know that your actions were not your own that night. I for one could never hate my student. (He hugged Shadow.)
-Shadow- Thank you for saying that Rolfe I thought I would never see you again.
-Rachel- Glad to see you are ok Rolfe.
-Rolfe- Rachel it is good to see you too. My little Queen. (He hugged her.) I believe we have a coronation and a party to put on later.
-Rachel- Defiantly, but for now everyone this is our tutor Rolfe he taught us everything we know.
-Rolfe- It is a pleasure to meet you all. Come on out everyone our Queen, prince, and their friends mean us no harm. (They came out from behind the bushes.)
-Chief Shere Khan- It is good to see you again Shadow and in such good health.
-Shadow- Chief Shere Khan thank you for saving my race.
-Chief Shere Khan- No thanks are necessary Shadow if it had not been for your howling we would have never known to come. Sorry we could not help you the other times that you howled, but my soothsayer said it was too risky.
-Leoda- I did say that and I was right those books are far too dark for anybody to combat without…
-Shadow- Love which is how Amethyst broke my spell.
-Amethyst- Nice to meet you all. I am Future Wisest Amethyst. Daughter of Princess Crystal and Zim. These are my assistants Kierra, Diva, Gir, and Mini Moose. I was the one who destroy Doom when he returned the second time. The first time it was my mom and she was the daughter of Wisest Sapphire and Tallest Miamoto.
-Zam- I am her half-brother the great Zam.
-Rolf- Oh that is wonderful news that you were able to find someone Shadow. What about you Rachel?
-Rachel- This is my boyfriend William Heathcoat.
-Will- Pleased to meet you. (He shook his hand.) I am from Earth as you can tell and a man of science.
-Rolfe- Nice to meet you human. Who are the rest of you?
-Will- This is my sister Paige and her boyfriend Jason.
-Dib- I am Dib Membrane and I flew the space ship that got everyone here.
-Gretchen- And he did it very well. My name is Gretchen and I am his girlfriend.
-Faith- I am Faith Amethyst's Second Cousin and Dash and Lilly are her Aunt and Uncle.
-Dash- I sailed the ship that got us here.
-Jason- And I preformed the spell on the teeth of the Felipay that led us to you using my wizard powers.
-Louis-That explains how you got here, but how did you know about the Tegrays in the first place? I was there when you discovered them and after that you never spoke of them again. It is a good thing I was there too, because when the Tegrays came I was able to tell everyone that we could trust them. What happened to you after we left the ship the king only seemed to grow colder towards Shadow.
-Marvin- Because, their minds were wiped by Dern.
-Rolfe- Huh a Matrixsys how did you find us. Stand aside children I will protect you.
-Sam- No don't it's Marvin. (He ran to Marvin.)
-Marvin- It is good to see you again Sam.
-Malachi- Mommy is that the Matrixsys you told me about. (Says a little Tegray that ran up to Marvin.)
- Ocellus- Yes, he sure is.
-Marvin- Ocellus Cujo you had a son.
-Cujo- Yes, we did we had to wait till after the force field was taken off, so he could age properly. His name is Malachi.
- Malachi- Wow you've got quiet the gargantuan head.
-Dib- My head is not big.
- Ocellus- Now Malachi that was not very polite.
- Malachi- But, mom it is true look at it.
-Zam- I like this kid he is smart not quit as smart as me but still smart.
-Gretchen- (Dib is growling at this point.) Calm down Dib he is still just a baby after all.
-Dib- I know but still…
-Thistle- You should not pick on my best buddy.
- Cujo- Forgive my son he is still learning his manners. Malachi say you are sorry after all if you are going to be the future soothsayer of our tribe you must behave.
- Malachi- Yes Dad sorry sir.
-Dib- It is ok.
-Gretchen- Aw you are so cute.
- Malachi-Thanks and you are so pretty.
-Dib- At least he has got one thing right.
-Zam- Enough talk there was mention of a celebration let's have it.
-Chief Shere Khan- Can do. (The party began. There was food, dancing, singing, exchanging of stories, and fireworks put on by Jason.)
-Will- (He was talking to Louis) So I was wondering how were you all able to survive when Tato goes under water?
- Lieoda- It is with this orb. Once activated it can turn a land creature into any animal we want as long as it is not bigger than the original creature.
-Will- Which means I could not use it to turn into an elephant because it is bigger then me.
- Rolfe- You are smart for a human and after hearing your tales I can understand why the princess likes you however there is something we must discuss alone come with me Rachel and William. (He took them to the side.)
-Zam- Mmm these are yummy peppers.
- Malachi- How can you eat those they are the spiciest peppers we got?
-Zam- Easy. (He breathed fire.)
- Malachi- Uw that is so cool.
-Zam- Amethyst Rolfe is taking Will and Rachel somewhere, look.
-Amethyst- Hmm I wonder what that is all about. (She, Shadow, and Zam followed them.)
- Rolfe- Rachel William I am sorry to tell you both this, but Rachel you are going to be the Queen of our race and as such you cannot continue with this relationship.
-Rachel- Why not my dad married a popper. And everything worked out just fine.
-Rolfe- That is not the issue. The issue is you cannot produce a heir.
-Will- But, I love Rachel and I was going to propose to her very soon. Once I was old enough to marry and after I told my parents the truth about her being an alien.
-Rachel- And I was planning on excepting it right away.
- Rolfe- Sometimes being Queen means you have to do what is right for your people not yourself.
-Rachel- You are not going to make me go through an arranged marriage, are you?
- Rolfe- This is a happy celebration I really don't want to ruin it with news like that, but we may have to.
-Rachel- But, I don't want this.
-Will- And neither do I there must be some way.
-Amethyst- Couldn't she clone herself like what my race did after the universal wars.
- Rolfe- It has to be a true born heir your highness. And you three should not have been listening in.
-Shadow- Why shouldn't we be told this. Rachel is my sister and she deserves to be happy with the one she chose. It is what my father and mother would want for her.
-Zam- Shadow is right no one should be taken form the person they love. These rules are stupid. Let me at him Amethyst. (She stopped her brother by holding him back.) I shall deliver justice apone your filthy head.
-Amethyst- No Zam even if he does deserve it.
-Zam- But, he is ruining the party.
- Rolfe- I am sorry, but I must deliver the law of our race.
-Shadow- Will go get Faith she can summon Ghost. That is how we learned about the Tegrays in the first place and when she summoned Dad he spoke highly of Will. '
-Will- Can do. (He ran off.)
- Rolfe- If the king says so I guess I will have to obey him, but I still felt what I said needed to be spoken and…
-Marvin- No it didn't I have an idea that would work even better to help you all… (Right when he said that smoke appeared.)
-Rachel- Marvin what are you doing? I knew we could not trust you…
-Marvin- No I am not doing this. (He said coughing. Rolfe turned into an alligator.)
-Rachel- Rolfe what happened to you?
-Rolfe- Someone must have activated the orb, but why I… (They all got knocked out.)
-An Evil Voice- Good work boys load the important ones onto my ship. And destroy theirs. Hahaha!
