(And welcome back to Winds of the Spirit. I hope you have liked this story so far and will continue to read it, but I also want more reviews. This chapter will be told from Mystic's point of view. On with the show!)
Chapter 2: Weapons and Meisters
I woke up with a strange throbbing in my head. My memory was very fuzzy, for all I could remember before this was being attacked by a nasty, 3 eyed monster that none of us had ever seen before. It reminded me very strongly of Darkness, who had been trying to defend us, but this thing was far more sinister than he was. It looked a lot like a human, but it had long spindly arms, snake-like fingers, 3 large, black eyes and a gaping mouth filled with square shaped teeth. (A/N: The first person to correctly guess what that monster is will get one of their OC's put in this story!) As we were trying to fight back, it let out a terrible sound, like a combination of a screech and a man yelling. There was a bright flash of light, then nothing.
The others were in similar shape. The Shifters were also starting to come to, but Sonic, Shadow and Silver were still out cold. We heard a scream and looked up. Standing near the edge of the crater we were in were 3 teenagers. One of them, a blue haired boy with green eyes and an outfit covered with stars, was holding a strange weapon, something that looked like a pair of bladed nun chucks connected by a large chain. The brown haired girl with pigtails and a dress coat had a large scythe with a black-and-red blade. She looked ready to attack us. The other boy, a young man with black and white hair and a nice outfit, was aiming a pair of pistols at us.
"Who are you?" The girl asked us with a strong tone. "If you don't answer, we'll kill you all." She added. I stood up and willed my staff to appear in my hand. "My name is Mystic Caster, and these are my friends, Blade, Claw, Sonic, Shadow and Silver." I pointed to each of them in turn. "Why are you here?" the blue haired boy said. "We don't know. We were somehow sent here, but for what reason, we don't know." The teens each looked at each other and lowered their weapons. The weapons began to glow, and they changed into other teens. I was shocked, then there was a flash of electric blue light in front of me. When I looked around, there was only dark around me, although I could see straight ahead.
"What just happened?" I said in frustration. I heard Claw walk up to me. "Mystic, I know you're going to completely lose it when I tell you this, but when that light flash went away, you turned into a scythe." He said to me. "WHAT?" I practically screamed. Since I was lying right next to Sonic, my scream had gone right in his ear, making him yell and sit up. "Jesus! What was that for?" He said. "I didn't mean to scream in your ear, Sonic." I said. Since I was in weapon form, he must not have noticed me. "Where are you?" He asked. "Down here." He looked and picked me up. "Cool!" He said. He started swinging me around, and almost sliced Blade in half. Fortunately, she could see the blow coming and blocked it with her bladed arm.
But once my blade made contact with her, there was a green flash. In her place, there was a large sword with a glowing green blade. There was a fiery orange eye at the hilt, and the cross guard looked like a pair of dragon wings. The handle was designed to look like a lizard tail, and even had a bunch of spines at the pommel. "No way. A venom sword?" I said, in a trance. "What did you just call me?" The sword said in Blade's fierce voice. "You're a venom sword." I said. Silver, who, along with Shadow, had just come to, came up to her and grabbed the sword, careful not to cut himself with the poisoned blade. He held it in one hand, amazed at how well it was balanced. "That is awesome." He said.
Shadow looked away. Claw just kicked a loose rock. They both remained silent. "I wonder if I'm a weapon." Claw said under his breath. As he thought about it, his body started to glow. In a dark green flash, he had become a shotgun, or at least it looked like he did. "I know I may look like a shotgun, but I'm far more powerful than that. I'm a double rifle! Elephant gun!" He said. Shadow came up to him and picked him up. "Cool!" He said. He pointed it at Silver, who screamed a little and tried to run.
"If you're done discovering your true potentials now, can we please get going?" The boy with the striped hair asked. We had almost forgotten he and his friends were there. "yeah, we're good." I said. Those of us who were weapons went back to normal. We stood beside our partners, or meisters, as we climbed out of the crater. "So, do you think we could stay with any of you for a while?" I asked. They then turned to each other and began to talk. After a few minutes they turned to us again. "We've decided to let you stay with us, but we can only take one weapon/meister pair each." The girl with the long black hair said. Sonic and I went with the brown haired girl and her red eyed partner, Shadow and Claw went with the stripe haired kid nd his partners, leaving Silver and Blade no choice but to go with the kid with spikey blue hair, who was quite a nuisance.
(I know it's not much, but at least it's a second chapter to this thing, alright? I had writers block for this thing, not to mention how busy I was. But anyways, REVIEW OR DIE!)
