Chapter 9: Into the Realm of Magic Once more
The scene opens upon a room filled with countless moving images, however there were living beings within this room. There were three beings within this room the first was a male teen with untidy black hair with green eyes behind glasses. The next male had fiery red hair and a freckled complexion and blue eyes with the final teen being a girl with bushy brown hair and brown eyes. These three teens turned to one certain portrait one of an aged man with silver hair and beard with a long and crooked nose. The first teen spoke to the portrait "I'm putting the Elder wand back where it came from, it can stay there if I die a natural death its power will be". However this no doubt dramatic speech was interrupted by a sudden cry of 'Expelliarmus' and the Elder Wand, the death stick, the wand of destiny was blown out of this teens hand. This wand was knocked into the air behind the teens into the hands of a man in a suit with a rucksack 'thanks for doing the work for me kids'. And with that he held up a futuristic device and with a BOOM a multi-coloured portal formed 'see you around' and with that he leaped through the portal which closed after him leaving a shocked trio.
20 MINUTES EARLIER….
Merlin, Nabu and Mr White walked into the portal room looking up at the large portal device before heading to the control console. 'Ok Nikki link up with the control console and give it a copy of your data on the realm of magic' and with a PING the control console now has a complete and up to date map of the realm. As White and Merlin reviewed this data White found one thing 'there's a problem with this data' "really I can't see anything". 'There's no reference to which fiction these reality bubbles are based on who knows when we'll need something from a certain work of fiction' "you just want to visit fictional worlds and steal interesting stuff from them don't you"? 'Ok fair enough you got me but I have my reasons for instance look at my harry potter powers I have to use my index fingers as channelling tools, but my skills are suffering due to it I mean I've only just mastered the disarming charm I need a wand'. "Fine you've argued your point so I guess it's okay for you to explore some of the reality bubbles but only a few you still need to train and keep an eye on the earth for any supernatural problems". No sooner had that statement been uttered than White had left the room at such a speed he had become a blur. He quickly returned carrying a rucksack on his back 'ok Nikki in the harry potter reality bubble what time is it'. "It's at the end of the battle of Hogwarts" 'then let's go' and with a PING the portal activated and White passed through it.
20 MINUTES LATER
In the portal lab the portal opened up again and White leapt out of the portal landing in a crouch as the portal closed Merlin approached White "so how was your trip"? 'Oh it was fun took in the sights picked up a book or two became master of the Elder wand you know how it is'. "So instead of going to a wand maker to simply chose to become master of arguably the most powerful wand there is". 'Did you really expect anything else from me entering a fictional world where if anything's taken out it's immediately replaced'"no I guess not". 'Well I'm off again' "where are you going this time" 'just a small place in Oregon called Gravity Falls so I can pick up a few books and a certain device' and White moves through the portal once more. Emerging through the portal White quickly held up Nikki into the air 'ok Nikki duplicate journals 1, 2 and 3 and the memory erasing gun and let's get out of here'. With that order a huge flash of light covered the entirety of gravity falls and with a BOOM the portal opened and White got out of there before Bill could turn his attention towards this new being. White emerged back into the portal lab 'Nikki paste what we just got' and with a flash of light the three journals and the memory gun. 'Ok let's visit inside Altair's library in Assassin's Creed I plan to pick up an apple of Eden and a hidden blade'. And with that he returned to his travels into the realms of fiction, White emerged inside the library of the first main character of this series. He walked up and crouched down facing the remains of the man 'onwards to the next great journey Altair Ibn-La'Ahad'. And with that he stood up pointing Nikki at him 'copy his hidden blade but be respectful'. once that was done he walked past his facing the apple of Eden before reaching out and taking it and placing it in his rucksack. 'Let's go Nikki we shouldn't disrespect this place any more than we already have' and with that they left.
Upon returning to Merlin and Nabu they were immediately asked questions such as "how was your trip" and "what did you pick up this time". To the last one he responded with reaching into his rucksack and removed the apple of Eden where it glowed briefly before he returned it to his bag. "There's one thing I have to ask I understand that you went to the world of Harry Potter to get a wand but what's with this looting of fictional realms". 'Well I guess it's the ultimate adventure I mean these are stories that pull you into them and don't let us go until the end'. 'Now I can enter these realms literally instead of figuratively and I can bring amazing things to the real world, things that I like or things that could change the world for the better'. At this Merlin smirked "your truly the most unorthodox Guardian ever", 'well most Guardians never thought about being proactive as an alternative path to helping humanity I mean the only other Guardian to think that way was Nabu' "you know it". After that confession White turned back to the portal 'once more into adventure' and with that he passed through the portal.
The portal opened up into a Sci-Fi resembling realm before he closed his eyes in concentration reaching out through his super hearing until he heard what he was looking for. He then began darting down several corridors until he reached an area filled with ships shaped like a capital H with a shielded opening into space. 'This is going to be a win-win I get to steal a tie fighter from the empire and the rebels have one less tie to fight'. And with that he walked towards the ships getting halfway there before being cornered by Stormtroopers "stop right there identify yourself" White debated whether he should lie or just start attacking then a thought occurred to him. A Cheshire cat grin appeared on his face while he placed his hand in his pocket and in a fraction of a second a telepathic conversation took place. ('Nikki' "what" 'do you think you create psychic paper like in Doctor Who, I've had a funny idea on how to get out of this' "FINE here next time we talk telepathically you should have a better reason"). And as soon as White could feel the leather wallet he removed it from his pocket and showed it to the troopers 'my name is Doctor Funk and the emperor sent me here on a surprise inspection'. Naturally as Stormtroopers were dim they fell for this trick "oh Mr Funk we weren't expecting you" 'its doctor and that the purpose of a surprise inspection genius'. The Stormtroopers upon hearing this begin to move away from White 'ok the next thing that I need to check is the tie fighters that's why I'm here so someone prep me a Tie fighter'.
Within short time a Tie fight was prepared and White was looking up at it 'well it does look nice but I'm going to take it for a fly'. And with that White climbed into the ship 'so how do you set these up again I never fly myself' and after getting information on how to fly the craft White set off in his first ever space ship flight. However unknown to White a problem was beginning to occur due to the ship's captain choosing then to contact them. "Troops why is a ship leaving the hanger" to which the squad leader was confused "sir the surprise inspector requested that he tried out a ship". This only confused the captain "the who" "Dr Funk the inspector that recently arrived he's testing out the Tie fighters to test their efficiency". To this the captain facepalmed "we haven't docked with any ships or come in contact with any planet since our latest resource pickup which was two months ago so answer me this WHERE WOULD HE HAVE COME FROM". Then the moment of realization hit them and the squad leader looked at his men "GET ME IN CONTACT WITH THAT SHIP NOW".A connection was quickly patched "I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE BUT IF YOU BRING THAT SHIP BACK TO THE HANGER NOW I MIGHT HAVE MY MEN GO EASY ON YOU". However the only response they received was laughter 'so you lot finally figured it out it only took you what 20 minutes, and in response to your demand I'm going to have to say no thanks I think I'll keep it' and with that the communication ended.
While in the stolen ship White smirked, well that is until they sent ships at him then he gained a bit of a bored look before picking up Nikki. ('Nikki' "what's up" 'can you send me to the nearest place with an X wing If I'm going to get a Tie I might as well get one of them' "fine whatever" 'wait before you do that also destroy any tracking devices'). And despite the fact that they were in a vacuum of space the BOOM of Nikki's portal opening was heard by all [its comic book physics don't question it or you'll get a nosebleed] and with that the stolen ship was gone. Meanwhile above a certain planet that held a certain rebel base a thunderous BOOM was heard as the Tie exited the portal just outside of sensory range. ('Ok Nikki portal me down and I'll start coming up of a plan to lets just call it acquiring the ship' "or I could just take control of one and bring it here" 'or you could just do that yes'). And all across that planet all things sentient or not heard a single sound a sound of power and that sound was PING. And while the rebels were discussing that noise none of them noticed an X Wing power up and leave the base mostly due to the SEP field being applied but it's doubtful that even without it they would have noticed. This ship quickly achieved escape velocity and entered orbit before once again moving to meet with the other "acquired" ship. And with a BOOM the portal opened and both ships passed through emerging out the other side at the realm of eternity where both ships header towards the recently constructed hanger where Nikki was able to pilot both ships to land facing the exit. As White began to exit the vessel held Nikki up 'Nikki do me a favour and contact the others and tell them that I've got one last trip before we're done' to which a PING was heard for everyone except the beings maker due to their telepathic bond. And with that he pointed Nikki onwards towards our next adventure in the world of Destroy all Humans and with a BOOM the portal opened and he leapt through on the next adventure.
The not so dynamic duo exited from there portal into what looked to be Las Vegas considering all the casinos and looked to be some time in the 1970s if the fashion was any indication. White began walking in a random direction while engaging with Nikki telepathically ('ok Nikki which way to the Spacedust casino' "I'll just act as a satnav since I doubt you'll remember all the directions and I can't really be bothered constantly repeating them" 'fair enough'). As such they soon reached their destination the Spacedust casino a fairly successful casino that unfortunately for the patrons was owned by a certain human killing Furon known as Cryptosporidium 139. However that wasn't why they were here the reason why they were here was tied to the casino's electronic ticker or more specifically the Furon saucer that had been crashed into it by a drunken Cryptosporidium 138 the predecessor to this casino's owner. Mr White entered into a telepathic conversation ('ok Nikki is there any way you can copy the ship discreetly' "I can raise an SEP field so no one notices but that's about it" 'ok do it'). And a beam of light shot towards the alien ship copying all of its hardware and software until Nikki would be able to recreate a perfect duplicate all while being unnoticed by all but two individuals. ("ok I'm done do you wan't me to copy the other saucer as well" 'wait the path of the furon saucer is already made' "yep").A thought occurred to White('Nikki I have a question if you copied the newer saucer could you combine the technology of both of them into a new saucer but have it looking like the newer saucer' "probably" 'then let's do this'). After a quick trip the due were nearby the newer saucer which had a yellow underbelly and a darker top with glowing blue sections at the ships rear further distancing itself compared to its all silver predecessor. This more recent saucer was docked at a nearby Arkvoodle landing zone ('ok Nikki do your stuff') and another beam stuck this ship copying it again. ('So Nikki can you merge them together into a signle more powerful saucer or am I going to have two saucers'). ("Yes I can merge them which saucer do you want yours to look like" 'the newer one but have the yellow parts white' "fine it's done tell me when and I'll create it). However before they could even celebrate what they'd just accomplished a voice interrupted them "well isn't that interesting".
Turning White saw the one being in this reality bubble he didn't want to see Cryptosporidium 139 easily identifiable for his large grey hairless head, short stature and his black and white jumpsuit complete with jetpack. Alongside him was the consciousness of his commander Orthopox 13 inside a three armed hologram projector. Thinking fast White held Nikki like a camera 'those are some convincing costumes can I take a picture'. However in response to this Crypto drew his zap-o-matic weapon 'you don't believe my lies do you' to which the alien smirked. ('Nikki how did he find out anything about us' "I don't know my telepathic channel is impossible to access and the SEP field should have affected him" 'then how could he hear what we were thinking'). ("That's it it's the connection to you he's reading you mind to get into our conversation, isn't that right alien?"). In response the alien only smirked 'ok so you know about us and we know about you so' there was no as there was essentially a standoff between the two groups. This standoff ended quickly by Mr White yelling 'NIKKI COPY ALL OF HOLOPOX'S KNOWLEDGE OF FURON TECH NOW' which received the response of a PING and Pox's form glitches before White jumped off the raised area they were on and landed on the street and started running.
As White and Nikki fled they were engaged in telepathic conversation ('Nikki we need a portal NOW' "I can't I'm still going through the data you have me steal from the hologram"). ("Furthermore do you think he'll just let us get away" 'did you see his tiny legs he isn't catching up' "what about his saucer" 'wait that's functioning… that could be a problem'). Their conversation was cut short by the huge red beam of energy hitting the ground near them and the saucer deactivating its cloak. Realising the carnage to come White takes to the air hoping to level the playing field with the saucer and lead it from potential casualties. ('Call Merlin NOW') and with a PING the connection was made and Merlin picked up "what's wrong now". 'I may have made enemies with an angry alien' "and your concerned why exactly do I have to remind you of the fact your current form isn't even human it's a mix of Kryptonian and demon". 'This guy's telekinetic' "so are you" 'he has advanced alien weapons' "once again you aren't human" 'if I don't take him down soon he'll kill innocents…wait do beings from these reality bubbles have souls'? There was the sound of movement on the other line and Nabu picked up the communicator "this is Nabu they do have souls stop this being NOW". 'And just how do you suppose that I do that' "well you could kill him" 'out of the question' "or you could send him to Tartarus". 'Send him where' "I'm guessing Merlin never told you about Tartarus, well back with the Third or was it the Forth Guardian a part of what's known as the middle east was invaded by demons from one of the kingdoms of what you would call hell". 'Hell has kingdoms' "it's constantly waring over some prophecy about the one true king of hell but that's not important right now". "Anyway one of our predecessors organised an army of mystics and warriors and lead an assault through the gate to hell and through about a decade long campaign eventually was able to face and kill that kingdoms leader". "The Guardian of the time used her magic as well as some hell magic and sacrificial magic from all those killed in the war to create several wards effectively making Tartarus demon proof before binding it to our line and in her final breath pass on the guardian title to her daughter".
'Huh so one of the conditions of being a Guardian is being suicidal' "HEY" 'so what happened after that'? "Well it wasn't used for a while until one of us made the bright decision to use it as a prison seeing as even when the prisoners died there souls would be trapped there". 'Fine I'll send him to Tartarus but I need to know how to do that' and with that a shot of lightning arced out of Nikki impacting onto White's forehead causing him to drop towards the ground before he was able to come to his senses. 'We really need to think of a better way of doing that' however his train of thought by nearby blast of the saucer's death ray 'holy… ok I need to think of some way of getting him vulnerable enough for me to use my new spell'. Realising the saucer was about to fire again White readied himself and as the saucer fire its death ray White launched his heat vision the two beams meeting and engaging in what can only be described as a beam struggle. Unfortunately the saucer moved slightly in an attempt to strike White and struck a nearby tanker causing an explosion. This tanker unfortunately hit a young girl giving her severe third degree burns causing White to cease his heat vision in order to dodge the death ray and run towards her. 'You're ok You're going to be ok let me try to help you heal' and nothing happened 'heal' and his hands briefly glowed before flickering out 'I SAID HEAL'. And with that there was a phenomenal glow of arcane energy filled the entire area and when it faded the child was fully healed and a very vengeful looking Mr White was looking up at the doomed alien.
'I tried to just run to protect people from my mistake but I now realise that's not going to happen when I'm going against a homicidal sociopath'. And his form begins to turn pitch black teeth turning to fangs, ears pointing yellow brick work pattern forming leading to his chest where the symbol of the house of El was proudly shown. The now demonic Mr White looks up at the alien hands erupting into his blue fire with hatred in his eyes. I'm sure that you've been wondering who I am so I'll tell you the names Mr White and you are a monster that finds enjoyment in snuffing out innocent lives so I'm going to remove you from the equation'. And faster than this statement could be progressed the demonic White was in front of the saucer and grabbing the weaponry with one hand and tearing it from the alien ship and throwing it out of sight. The saucer begins to reverse in a desperate attempt to escape before stopping suddenly due to White grabbing it smiling evilly. 'So you want to go home do you THEN LET ME HELP YOU' grabbing the saucer with his other hand and he beings to spin then faster then faster. White doesn't slow down but instead keeps accelerating to just under the speed necessary to create a tornado before finally letting go. The ship shoots off from White still spinning at phenomenal speeds preventing the pilot from regaining control, the ship continues to travel across the Nevada skyline before finally coming to a stop in the form of crashing into the Spacedust hotel.
Soon after exiting the craft through the huge hole that now existed in the cockpit and used his jetpack to slowly move down to the ground. He then looked towards the form of White that had landed down in the distance and moving towards the alien. As he got closer the alien began firing his weapons at him only for him to either dodge him or backhand them out of the way. Growing increasingly desperate and afraid the alien decided to telekinetically throwing two cars at the entity. However his hopes were dashed when White held up one of his hands stopping the first car and stopping the second car with his final car. Then clenching his hands into fist, bringing them together and bringing them down slamming the two cars telekinetically onto the alien. Unfortunately for him he was spared by his shield technology, and fearing his life Crypto attempted to take to the air using his jetpack. However before he could even rise above ten floors of the nearby hotel before White had appeared by his side yelling 'NO JETPACKS' and ripping the jetpack off his back causing him to fall several feet before White telekinetically caught him. White lands on the floor before telekinetically slamming the alien onto the ground 'you're a cancer to this world and it's time to remove you from this universe FOREVER'. And in Crypto's point of view time slowed down as the fire covered fist came closer and closer and Crypto wondered if this truly was the end.
Behind closed eyes the sound of a punch promising death impacting on something but there was no pain. Opening his eyes he saw the punch impacted in the ground right next to his head and Mr White's form becoming more human ears curving, teeth blunting skin becoming Caucasian again. White looks down at his foe almost in shame 'I can't do it not even for a monster like you I can't cross that line'. With that he stands up and both of his index fingers starts to glow and he begins to move them in complex and elaborate pattern before his whole hands suddenly beginning to glow and he slams them palm down onto the pavement 'to the depths of Tartarus with you'. For about a few seconds nothing happened until what can only be described as liquid shadow began to seep from White's own shadow and move towards the alien slowly at first but quickly accelerating until they formed a circle him. And then they quickly moved inwards leaving only small gaps until the alien was sat in a circle of darkness then as he stands up he begins to sink into the shadows. Unsure of this new development the alien walks out of the circle only for chains made of shadows to launch out and clamp around his arm, legs and neck and begin to drag him in. He tries to resist with his telekinesis and his weapons but these fail and he is quickly disarmed of his weapons. Until finally he is pulled in fully his last words cursing White and the last action that is seen done by the alien is him showing White a certain finger on one of his hands.
White holds up both the jetpack and the weapons taken from the alien 'Nikki store these then get me a portal home'. And with a flash of light they're stored and with a BOOM the portal opens which White walks through and when he is through immediately throws up. This of course has Merlin and Nabu race up to him questioning him on the portal back and if there were problems that caused his stomach problems. However White's response was to look them both in the eyes and say 'I'm a monster' while this shocked Merlin Nabu simply walked up to him and said in a calm and patient voice "ok then tell me why you're a monster". And so White told them what happened, he told them about how he'd gone overboard after the child had been injured and how he'd almost crossed that line and all the while Nabu didn't say anything he just listened. And when White was finished Nabu looked at him "you're not a monster you just let your emotions get the better of you" 'what'. "Look magic is influenced by a lot of things such as belief, worship, the subconscious and a few other things but one of the things that can influence magic the most is emotions. Normally when people get to your level of power they're a few decades in and have better control and have often fought in a war or two". "However with you the fact that Merlin channelled so much magical power into you means your power levels for lack of a better word are phenomenally high for your age". "But the society you live in means that I doubt you've ever seen innocents get hurt before" to which White nods "it's because of those reasons that the situation happened the way it did". "But the important thing to take from this is that even though you had the power and the reasoning to kill you didn't cross that line". "You stayed true to your beliefs and that's what we Guardians are about protecting people and doing what we feel is right".
During his response White had noticeably calmed down 'thanks Nabu… I think I really needed that' to which the spectre smiled. "You know what I think you need to do next I think you need to spend time with your family which shocked White. But Nabu elaborated "in the entire time I've been back you've never left this realm for anything even to visit your family". 'I have my reasons' "I'm sure you have excuases such as I'm trying to protect them but listen to me NOW". "Don't take your family for granted and don't shut them out because one day you'll wake up to find all those you loved have passed on and you spend the rest of your lives wishing you'd spent more time with them". This shocked White 'I guess I was thinking quite a bit into the future' to which Nabu smirks "the futures not going anywhere kid so go out spend time with your family enjoy yourself and get some time away from dead people like us".
Sarah Black was many things a Christian, a teacher, a wife and a mother amongst many other things but most recently the mother aspect of her was the most prominent. This was due to the disappearance of her eldest Jonathan, her husband Edward had been trying to console her and their youngest Carmen who seemed the most distraught over her brother's disappearance. She was jarred out of her thoughts however by a knock on the door to which she opened to find a well-dressed man with white hair and sunglasses over his eyes. He flashes a badge that identifies him with the police and says in a voice that seems familiar somehow 'Mrs Black may I come in I have new evidence about your sons disappearance'. Surprised but happy about the new information she leads him into the living room and after quick introductions are made she turns to him "you said you had new information". To this he smiles 'I do shazam' and to the families shock a small storm cloud appears above White turning him back to normal. Needless to say there were mixed reactions White's parents fainted while his sister ran up to hug him happy her brother was back. Needless to say when his parents woke up they were surprised that it wasn't a dream and that there missing child was there. After asking questions to confirm that their son had indeed returned and had weird supernatural lightning abilities.
"So you've been involved in some weird supernatural stuff for the entirety of the time you've been gone". 'Well except for that brief bit of time I was imprisoned by the government but most of the time I was being trained in a realm that can only be described as a unique place I mean it has a mini sun'. This surprised the family "seriously" 'oh yeah' he then holds up Nikki 'want to visit it' and White's parents looked at each other. They then looked at their newly returned son "Ok if it means that our family can get its missing son back then let's go see where you've been since you disappeared". White smiled 'ok then Nikki I need a trip back' and with a BOOM a portal opened in the living room and he turned to his family 'let's go then' and with that the reunited family travelled through the portal.
NEXT TIME
When a pulse of mystical energy is picked up White heads off to investigate it however he finds it's linked to a woman that he never would have expected. However White isn't the only being interested in her and here powers as there is a group of beings linked in with an unknown entity. Now it's a race against time to keep this woman safe from this shadowy organisation and their plans for her. The story continues next time in A Trickster Returns
Authors Note: for those who think the name Doctor Funk is a stupid name to use as an alias I have this to say. My sister works at a hospital and there is a Doctor there that has the name Doctor Funk so do you feel good about yourself you insulted a real person's name. As for the rest of the new names introduced in this story the first names I found through the use of random name generators because I was to lazy to come up with an alternative plan. Also buy Destroy all humans it's a good game series, and if you thought my fight scene was bad it's the first time I've attempted something like this so cut me some slack.
