Chapter 7

Soul Switcher

Red was still asleep with tears falling from her face. Al had just been on another phone call with Cire about being nicer to her, Al was having a hard time thinking of ways not to become too soft. Instead, he shook her awake with his big hand. "Hey, stupid girl. Get up, today we leave and go to Family Village."

She groaned and picked herself up from the bed, shaking from the shock. Red dragged her feet on the ground to the door, "Alright, let's go."

Al restrained from doing a two shock but did one instead, he had to be nicer. He grabbed the bag and told her get on the camel. They were going down the hot desert when they stopped at the station. Al was buying the tickets while Red was saying bye with the camel as some people were taking it away, "Bye, see you later."

"Alright stu, I mean Red. Let's go." they boarded the train taking them to Family Village. It was a two hour ride there, meanwhile, Red was drawing pictures of …Amber, Eric and Seiji. She didn't know who she was, but a voice was telling her she was someone who really loved you. Red heard the voice crying and she got worried.

"What's wrong?"

The voice responded, "I miss her so much, she was my mom and my dad is gone too! Why did it have to be this way?"

Red just wanted to embrace her, "It's okay, don't worry, friend. Hey, if you want a nickname, I'll happy to give you one. How about, Amber?"

The voice continued to cry, "It hurts to know I will never be able to see them again! My mommy, my daddy, and my brother! They're gone!" she started to scream and cry.

Red stated, "No, I'll be with you. And all your friends and other family members. When we get to Family Village, I'll find you a body. Promise."

The voice stopped crying loudly, "T-thank you. You- I love you like a sister, Red. Please don't leave me."

"I love you, too. Anna. We'll be together forever."

"Thank you so much, sister. When can I take over? It is my body."

"Oops! I forgot, I guess we'll find my body, hehe!"

"You know, Al is being a lot nicer."

"Maybe he just stopped being so mean, huh? Oh well. I guess he's not so stupid after all." The sound of Anna's laughter filled her heart with happiness.

Al stared at the child and her work of art. Strange how Al was not shocking her, for some reason he felt not to be so hard on her. Not because of the phone call, but something told him to be nice. He shook the thoughts out of his head and shocked her. "We're here, stupid girl. Get out." he grabbed her arm and walked out of the train. "I'm taking the day off, you go do whatever you want, at midnight find a tent." Red ran to the forest, wondering if Logan was there.

Instead, she saw the house and walked in. Blue jumped up at the sight of his sister. "Red! I found our bodies and new friends. Look, this is Gage."

"That's great! Hi, Gage, I'm Red!" she looked in the mirror seeing Rose, "Hello, who are you?"

"That's who found our bodies, Rose. Logan is in bed, Samantha is setting up the soul switcher, and Gage and I are trying to figure out how to get Rose out of there. All we know is that Seiji is still in me, how about you?"

Red smiled, "Yup!" then embraced Gage with a smile.

"Hey, you're pretty cute! Is this Red or Anna?" Gage asked.

Samantha answered walking back into the room with a handful of candles setting them, in a circle around the bodies, "That's Anna, the bodies in the circle are them. Now, if all else fails you will at least have your own bodies, are we clear?" All nodded and Blue and Red sat in front of a candle as Samantha spoke the words of the ritual, "Free the souls from the shell that do not belong to them. Bring them to their original body and never in the other. And, switch!"

A red and blue light came out of there chest, causing Anna and Seiji to come back, entered the bodies. All the candles burned out and everything stayed silent.

Seiji broke the silence, "Am I in my body, yet?"

Anna smiled, "Yes you are, and so am I! Thank you, Samantha. Thank you so much!" she hugged her, just like everyone else.

Samantha blushed a little, "Yeah, anything for friends."

Red suddenly frowned and looked at Anna, "Hey, I'm happy and all but, What about Al? Its your body he saw, not mine."

"Huh?" Anna looked down at the ground, "Oh, what about the shocks? I don't even know what to do, I never paid attention."

Red looked smug, "He's working for the RoD, so what if you stop working properly? Then, he'll throw you away, I'm pretty smart ,huh?"

"I'll be so bad, that I get shocked a million times then I can pretend to act weirdly! But, won't that hurt?"

She responded glaring, "I'm the one who's getting shocked, you haven't even felt the pain?"

Seiji came in on the conversation, "Not to be rude, but, who is Al?"

"A real jerk is what he is. Al is an abuser who shocks six year olds. Wait! Anna, Seiji! Your eyes are back to normal!"

Seiji touched his eye lightly, "Yeah, you're right. Now how do we trick him?"Anna only smiled and opened a drawer to find a box of colored contacts. She pulled out one red contact and held it up for all to see. "Oh, right."

Gage spoke up holding the mirror, "If anyone forgot me and Rose, how do we get her out? She can't be stuck forever, right?"

Samantha also spoke up, "No, did anyone forget Logan? He's injured! Geez, whatever, Red go outside with Anna and make sure she is doing her work right. At the end of the day, meet us here. Blue and Seiji, help Logan heal. Gage, Rose and I will find a way to get her out of there. Now!" Red nodded and ran with Annaout the door. Blue and Seiji went to the bed and the leftover trio walked out the door.

"Hey Logan!" Blue said, "Nice to meet you, so how ya feeling?"

Logan stared and tried to speak, "Gage is a zombie, and so is Rose."

Seiji jumped, "Wha-what? Z-z-zombie? Oh no!" he burst into tears.

Blue sighed as he now realized that this boy was a cry baby. "Oh, I know. That's how I found my body in the first place."

Logan raised an eyebrow and tapped Seiji's shoulder, "Don't worry, kid. You're not gonna let anything hurt me, right?" he nodded wiping the tears away, "Thanks." he looked at Blue smugly, who glared.

"Whatever, do you need soup or anything? Medicine?" he was pulling things from the bag until he saw his favorite medicine, painkillers. Blue smiled, rattling the bottle "How about these?" Logan's eyes went big as he tried to grab the from him. "Wait wait, you need water to." but was cut off by Logan grabbing the bottle, and gulping down a pill.

"Ahh, much better. Tell me when to wake up." and he closed his eyes.

"Wake up." said Seiji shaking him.

Logan tapped his forehead and pushed him away, "Not now. Let the painkillers knock me out." then closed his eyes again.

"Okay, but I will at least give you an hour before you wake up again, okay?" he saw him already asleep. "Wow those work fast."

"Yeah," said Blue, "Come on. We have a break, let's do something."

Red and Anna ran towards the tent, "Here, wear this earpiece and do exactly as I say. Go" Anna walked in the tent and sat next to Al. "Say hello."

"Hey, Al. How ya doing?" she really didn't know him all that much, but knew he wasn't nice from Red's point of view.

Al responded looking up from his book, "Stupid girl! I told you to come back to this tent at midnight!" he pressed a button to shock he and she whimpered, that was the second most painful thing she had felt. "But if you want to deliver some TV's to the townspeople, go give out three, stat! When you're done don't come back until midnight, now!" he pushed her outside and closed the tent.

Anna stood back up and went up to a box , they were big and would take way too long to do before midnight. She decided to skip it and go to Red, "I don't know how you do it, but I can't. Let's call it a day, it's dawnish right now."

Red nodded, "Alright. Suite yourself." they started to walk to the trail to the forest. When they came back to the house, they were the last to arrive. judging from the looks of things, no progress was made.

"Okay. " Samantha announced, "Let's go to the church to ask for help from God." they all groaned and walked out as Gage carried a mirror and helped a better Logan out the door.

Halfway there, a loud rumble from the floor made them jump. The snake everyone, except Logan, knew came out from the ground, glaring its red eye at them. Most of it was reconstructed and Anna knew where this was coming from. "RoD! It's from RoD! They're same people who reconstructed me and Seiji and killed our parents! They've taken every piece of life they could find and kill it! End it's bad life! It doesn't deserve this, kill it now.!" she was crying silent tears rolling down her face and her fist were balled up.

As soon as she began her speech most of everybody was attacking but her. Gage was shooting arrows in its eye while Samantha and Logan were shooting their elements at it. Blue was at blinding speeds attacking the beast, Red was trying to use her magic for attacks that failed, and Seiji was blocking off the attacks it was aiming for Anna. The snake flung at Samantha and Logan and they shot in the sky, no where to be seen. Then it hit Gage and the mirror into the sky along with Blue and Red.

Seiji saw it going towards Anna as she was just standing there, crying. He ran over to her, taking the blow for her making him fly to the sky. She looked up with big eyes as the snake knocked Seiji, "Noooo! Seiji, please come back!" Anna didn't have anymore time to flee or look as suddenly she was flying. She closed her eyes and continue to fly.

A certain ship landed in the ground with someone walking next to the snake petting it. "Good job, my boy. Now no one can stop my plan from happening."

A soldier came running up to the man, "Commander Cire! I have good news and bad news. I'll tell you the good news."

Cire smiled his wickedly and responded in his Swedish voice, "Okay, tell me."

"Well, the good news is that I found someone who is capable of being second commander. She can do a fine job, her name is Anna, as you already know."

Cire rubbed his chin, "Hmm, good. I can call Al and tell him to give her body back from Red. The bad news?"

"Ahh, yes. Uh… sir. A witch has done the soul switcher and brought Seiji, Anna, Red and Blue to their original bodies. They were able to find the bodies with the help of the zombie princess and prince. And he's more bad news."

Cire face was red with anger but didn't explode, yet. "What? What is the bad news?"

"Our pilot, Logan, is… apart of their group. And he is The Autarch of Flame."

That was it for Cire, he exploded with anger, "What! That little brat! Call Al, inform him, find Anna, Seiji, Blue and Red. When you find that witch and zombies, throw them in the dungeon or reconstruct them. Leave Logan or the Autarch of Flame to me, I'll handle him." the soldier stood there with wide eyes. "Now!"

"Yes, sir!" then ran back into the ship.

Cire turned to the snake, "Good boy, go on home. We'll tell you when we need your help." then walked in the ship and flew off into the air.

Yeah! Now everyone is back to normal, haha! What's funnier is that Cire is pissed off at the end.
