Dawn of a New Era
Chapter 29: Return of the Dark Ones
Chiro's Point of View:
I swung at the formless on my right, then on my left. I was getting tired and we haven't even gotten threw half of all these formless yet. As far as we know, none of them have passed us into the Pit of Doom. Speaking of which, I hope the kids are okay. It's already been a while since we saw them head in there, but I had this feeling threw the power primate that I had nothing to worry about and should believe in them, and I did.
"Chiro, I sense your worry." Antauri struggled to say as he took out another few formless. "But there is nothing to fear for our children!" He growled as a formless cut his arm and I came to his aid, destroying the formless around him and being a shield for him. "Thank you Chiro."
"You sure that their going to be alright?"
"I'm positive Chiro; they are our children after all. They are strong and are guided by the power primate and the elements."
"I guess your right Antauri; I just can't help but worry." The rest of my team were forced back toward us, making a protective circle around the entrance to the Pit of Doom. The other allies of ours soon followed, until Nova had enough and split open the ground, drowning and ending many formless and providing us with an advantage that they had to get over the giant hole in the ground to get threw us, and then make their way to their Mistress.
"Your kid will be fine Chiro." Johnny called over the still echoing earth. "Your worrying over nothing, she and the others will be fine. What you should be worried about is her boyfriend when this battle is over."
"What boyfriend?" I turned to the others and saw that all of them had their eyes looking away from me, even those who just arrived only a few days ago. "Jinmay, what boyfriend?" My wife looked up at me. She gave me a shy smile.
"She got together with Cobi while you were still possessed, and before we had even joined up with them." My wife said hesitantly. "She wanted to wait until after the war was over so that you won't have to worry about it, but someone just had to bring it up early." She glared at Johnny. "But now that it's out of the bag, you should know that the two of them are very responsible, and you have nothing to worry about Chiro."
"I'm not sure Jinmay, but I'll let it slide until this war is over. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, but I do want to talk about this, I only just a few days ago truly see my daughter, and then I find out that she is dating, at fifteen! I honestly think she's too young."
"You're doing a wonderful job of dropping the subject kid." Sprx said to me sarcastically. "Besides, how do you think Brain Strain and I feel about Gab and Rove dating. They've been dating for practically the whole time they were away from us!"
"Yeah, but Sprx, you weren't possessed like I was, you didn't miss out on most of your kids' lives. I did."
"You have no control over that Chiro." Jinmay said, placing a hand on my shoulder. "How could you have known? How could you have stopped it? You couldn't, and if it might not have been for that vile woman inside that infernal Pit of Doom, Jasmine might not have turned out as she has." I nodded my head.
"Let's hope the kids doing better then us in there."
Jasmine's Point of View:
I felt the hard edges of rock and magic hit me head on as I was blasted into the back wall of the Pit of Doom. Unlike our fight with Mandy, this fight with Skeleton Queen was much harder then we had anticipated. I watched as the others were thrown back with me, only Midnight, Cobi and Rover still standing after the energy blast just given to us by the queen of dead herself.
"Why can't you just die already?" Rover shouted as he sent a fist of flames towards Skeleton Queen. She used the side of her arm to force his attack away from her and used the opportunity to jab him in the ribs, though thanks to Rover's coating of the fire elements' energy, her arm caught fire and she hissed in pain. Midnight, standing beside me took this opportunity to rush forward and sunk her teeth into the torso of Skeleton Queen. She momentarily screamed and ripped Midnight off, taking Skeleton Queen's flesh with her, and then was thrown to the wall with us.
Gabriella jumped over Midnight's flung body, quickly formed another icicle sword in her hands and ran toward Skeleton Queen. Her sword came in contact with Skeleton Queen's staff and was pushed back, but not knocked over again.
Annabel soon joined the fight and ran toward Gabriella. Annabel sent Gabriella some sort of thought threw her mind, because the next thing I saw was Gabriella forming her sword into a staff and Annabel grabbing the other side of it. Gabriella swung Annabel around so that Annabel's feet landed right in the center of Skeleton Queen's chest, knocking her backward toward the edge of the stone platform.
"I will never truly die until my Master's final command has been fulfilled." She rose evenly to her feet and raised her hand at us, sending a wave of dark energy at us. I ran threw it as it hit me head on and I slowly made my way as it pushed me back. She placed up her other hand next to her first risen one and blasted me with the full power she had. I still walked threw it, only being slowed down a bit. "I wish the nine of you would move on."
"Not gonna happen skull face." Rose snapped at her. "Long as we're here, you ain't gonna bring back nothing to this world." The winds howled at her words.
"None of us will let you bring back the Dark Ones." Annabel said, determined. I felt all our spirits lift at her words.
"We'll never give up!" Olivia shouted proudly, the earth shaking around her.
"We can not let the citizens of Shuggazoom suffer for your wrath." Gabriella said calmly, drawing power into her icicle sword, the water of the sea surrounding Shuggazoom crashed in the now open earth, thanks to Olivia, and rose to serve Gabriella.
"I'll burn you until you face worse tortures then the pits of hell." Rover growled at her, the fire rising around him, burning most things, even those that normally would not catch fire.
"If your death is not by them, it will be by our blades and fangs." Cobi sneered at her, raising his weapon as did June, and Midnight growled, the piece of Skeleton Queen's flesh at her feet.
"Your rein of terror ends today Skeleton Queen." I said. The clouds above agreed with me, cracklings and thundering enormously. "This ends now."
"How right you are girl." She glared, then grinned and laughed. "This does end, but not the way you think. With my servant dead, I can use her evil soul and body as a sacrifice to the Dark Ones to create the portal, and there is nothing you can do to stop it." My eyes went wide as the teams' did. We all turned away to see Mandy's body be turned toward the edge by the dark energy from Skeleton Queen.
"Stop Mandy's body from falling over the edge!" I shouted. Cobi, June and Midnight all dove for Mandy's lifeless body. Only Midnight was able to grab a hold on one of Mandy's arms in her teeth. I sighed along with the rest of the team and then turned to face the Skeleton Queen, only to see her no longer in the spot she was in. My eyes raced to Midnight who held Mandy's body, only to be attacked and Mandy's body was freed from Midnight's hold, falling into the Pit of Doom.
"NO!" My entire team shouted. I only had a moment to see Skeleton Queen jump over the edge as well, following her dead servant. She landed on a platform only a few feet from the pathway into the realm of the Dark Ones, chanting her spell to release them.
"What are we going to do? We can't reach her from here!" Olivia cried.
"Don't worry 'Liv." Rose said, trying to calm her down and stop her from shaking the earth to death. "I bet Jazz has got a plan." Everyone on my team looked at me, hopping I knew the answer.
I looked down at the Skeleton Queen below. With no wind and air resistance, it would be easy to-yes that will work. I created a spear of lightning in my hands, much like my father's 'Chrio Spearo' and threw it at the Skeleton Queen. Watching it speed down toward her, it felt like an eternity before I saw the spear pierce her chest. Her chants stopped and she fell into the dark wormhole below, but not before we heard her utter the words we did not wish to hear.
"It is done, arise my Masters, plague the universe in darkness and hate!"
Chiro's Point of View:
Few formless had gotten to us on the other side of the large crack in the earth in front of us. We waited calmly for more to come, but then suddenly we felt the whole world shook around us, and the formless dissolved into goop. They all just were gone, just like that.
"Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" Sprx muttered. We all turned to look above the Pit of Doom. A large dark black fog settled in over it, so dense, not one of us could see threw it.
"We have to help the kids!" Jinmay shouted. We all ran to enter the Pit of Doom when the walls started to cave in and our only path to the children was blocked.
"How do we get in now?" Johnny asked.
"We'll have to move away all of this debris to get threw the tunnel." Gibson answered us all. "It won't get done any quicker or any sooner then if we wait around, so let's get moving." We all rushed toward the rubble and started to dig and pull away rocks.
Please don't be dead Jazz. I though as I moved the fallen debris.
Jasmine's Point of View:
The black fog quickly settled in around us as we backed away from the ever growing portal. It was then that the screeches emerged and broke threw the nearly silent air around. We watched in horror when seven beasts emerged from where Mandy and Skeleton Queen had fallen. Each was a different Dark One, risen from their prison from over many centuries.
"You think we can take 'em all?" Rose asked.
"You better believe we will sis." Rover said.
"We can and we will team, let's not let these things get in the way of what we believe in. Its time we ended this darkness once and for all. Hyper Force, Go!" I shouted as we charged toward the seven dark beasts.

Awesome! We got ride of Skeleton Queen, but now we have to deal with SEVEN DARK ONES! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! Anyway, I hope you all loved this chapter and please try not to stop the Dark Ones at you own hands for your own safety and the safety of others. The 2nd Hyper Force will take care of them for you.
Question of the Chapter: What kind of plot do you favor the most when writing, or what plot do you like to write about the most?
My Answer to the Question: My favorite kind of plot would have to be focused around the Hyper Force now (I love to write about them and their kids and what not), and I love to really change the story, add something new to it, like I did with this one, but I mostly love to write any story that involves my OC Jasmine.
New Poll: Okay, you guys know that I've been telling you how I've been planning the next story and giving you hits, well I decided that I want you guys to choose the next story I write. I have five choices on my poll, and you are allowed to vote up to two stories please. If no one votes or if we have a tie, I make the deciding vote on which story goes next. This vote will be up until the end of 'Dawn of a New Era' is over, which sadly is only three chapters away now.
(Crying in the background) 2nd Hyper Force, quit your crying! Just because the story's over doesn't mean that you guys are over! (Crying doesn't stop) {Sigh} Well if you will excuse me people I have to settle them down, Rose and Olivia are freaking out over being deleted or something.
