Sorry for the long wait. Please, review and send in OC's.
Jay and Alan were recovering from the battle with Vinci and Jyan, while Prima was still in the hospital. In Jay and Alan's spare time, they were searching Luna's abandoned warehouse for any remaining Mamodo. It was pretty easy, considering that Rio destroyed most of the crates that blocked the way of some passages. The two had searched the above ground part of the warehouse, now to the below ground. "Jay, do we have to?" Alan asked, staring down the ladder into the hole. It was dark, and if there were Mamodo down there, than shining a light wouldn't do much good. So, Jay climbed down without a light. Alan followed reluctantly. When they had reached the bottom, Jay pulled out his cell phone from his pocket, and flipped it open for some light. It was a small space with only two rooms, the room they were in had a wooden table with some playing cards on it, while the other room had a large drill. The two sighed.
"Now that we know no one is here, can we go?" Alan asked. Jay nodded 'yes', a little relieved himself. Alan was the first one up the ladder, but before he came up completely, he looked carefully for anything that moved. After a few seconds, Alan saw six people; three were children, and three had books. It was obvious: they were going to be trapped.
"Get down!" Alan said, kicking at the air under him. Jay went down the ladder.
"What are you doing?" Jay asked, backing away from the ladder. Alan slid down the ladder, putting his hand over Jay's mouth.
"Shut up. I'm trying to save both of our butts here." Alan said. The two listened carefully to what was going on above ground.
"Passo, Futuro, I'm bored! Why don't we just leave?" Asked a kid dressed in a red t-shirt and beige shorts. He seemed normal, except for the two black lines going down from his eyes. The two others, instead of replying, looked at the kid glaringly. The kid in the red t-shirt shrugged.
"What do you guys expect to find here, anyway?" Asked the kid. A kid next to him, who was called Futuro, replyed.
"I sensed a Mamodo here. A Mamodo is what I expect to find, Adesso." The chrome-clothed Mamodo Futuro said. The other kid snickered a little. That kid was dressed in torn, moldy clothes.
"Stop laughing, Passo." Adesso said. The three of them looked strikingly similar; they were most likely triplets. As the three of them traversed the warehouse, Alan and Jay were thinking of what to do.
"Maybe we should just sneak out. We can use that drill," Alan said.
"It would be too loud and too slow. We could go above ground, make a distraction, and then run as fast as we can." Jay said.
"What if they start casting spells?" Alan asked. Jay sighed.
"I guess we're trapped then," Jay said, looking hopeless. One of the triplets, Adesso, went up to the ladder.
"Hey, guys, I think I heard something down here!" Adesso said, calling the five over to where Jay and Alan were hiding.
"Oh, crap!" Jay said, backing up into the room with the drill. Alan followed.
"Anybody down there?" Adesso called into the hole. The five looked down carefully into the hole.
"Better cast a spell just to make sure." Adesso said. The female book owner nodded.
"Rivelano." She said. Suddenly, everything froze. No one could move except Adesso. Time had literally stopped. Adesso went down into the hole, and came out with Jay and Alan in his hands. He threw them on the ground, and then time began again. Everyone could move, and Jay and Alan turned to see the three Mamodo attacking them.
"Hand over the book." Futuro said.
"Braidon!" Jay yelled, as Alan's hair whipped everyone away. All of them were sent flying back, but landed on their feet. All of them had been training for this, which was obvious from the way they took the attack.
"I think we should introduce ourselves." Adesso said. The two male book owners groaned.
"Come on, Adesso. We aren't really going to do that…" One of them said. The female book owner looked confused.
"I actually sort of enjoy it," She said, as the two looked at her. The triplets were already performing. They had made a pyramid with Adesso on top.
"I'm Passo!" Passo yelled.
"I'm Adesso!" Adesso yelled directly after Passo.
"I'm Futuro!" Futuro yelled unenthusiastically. The book owners stood behind the Mamodo.
"I am Rico, Passo's book owner." One of the men said.
"I am Quinn, Adesso's book owner!" The woman yelled with a smile on her face.
"I am Luigi, Futuro's book owner." Luigi mumbled, crossing his arms.
"Braidon!" Jay yelled, causing a whip of hair to launch Passo backwards. Adesso snickered.
"Serves you right for laughing at me!" Adesso yelled back. Then he turned to Jay and Alan.
"You're gonna pay for what you did to my brother. Futuro, come on!" Adesso yelled, as the chrome-clothed child walked up next to him.
"Luigi? You ready?" Futuro asked his book owner.
"Yeah. Gigano Avenir!" Luigi yelled. Suddenly, a huge tornado appeared in the middle of the warehouse, as everything within a few feet of it was absorbed into it. When Jay and Alan were finally thrown out of the spinning vortex, they realized they weren't in the warehouse. There were lanterns and dragon puppets everywhere.
"Where are we?" Jay asked, puzzled.
"Looks like 15th century China to me." Futuro said, looking around. There was a poster with Chinese characters on it; the only thing they could understand was '1621'. The year they were stuck in.
"Ah, the short reign of Emperor Taichang." Luigi said. Jay then noticed that Passo and Adesso were approaching them. There was a crowd next to them, so Jay dragged Alan into the crowd of people. All of a sudden, the crowd started chanting.
"Taichang Huangdi Wansui!" They shouted, wishing Taichang a long and happy reign. As they ran threw the crowd, the six of them pursued relentlessly. Jay, noticing an alley, and pulled Alan into it, hiding.
"Where the hell are we?" Alan asked, extremely confused. Jay looked at him with a stern face.
"I think… they're power is time." Jay said. As the six of them walked by, Jay covered Alan's mouth. While the others walked by, one of the triplets wandered down the alley in suspicion. It was Passo. 'What an idiot.' Alan thought. 'He's walking down here without his bookowner?'
"I know your back here. I'm going to give you an offer. If you hand over the book, we'll take you out of this time and no one will get hurt. But if we have to burn your book by force, I promise you, you will spend the rest of your life in China in the 15th century, and I don't think you'll find that very much to your liking." Passo said, trying to convince them that giving up was they're only option. Jay ran as fast as he could. He didn't want to find out what 'by force' included. Alan dragged along as Passo just realized they ran away. Making a stupid decision, he ran after them without calling for help. Alan and Jay ran toward the palace, pushing people out of the way, while Passo followed close behind. 'Why won't he just call for his bookowner and brothers? Either he's really stupid, or thinks he can take us all by himself.' Jay thought, gripping the book tightly. To the crowds surprise, the three of them bumped past the new emperor and his advisors, and ran toward the palace building.
"You better give up while you still have the chance!" Passo yelled, following close behind. Alan and Jay stopped at the palace doors, trying to pull the huge oak doors open. Jay struggled to open his door, while Alan was already through. Jay abandoned his door and went through, helping Alan close the oak doors as fast as they could, leaving Passo outside, trying to open the doors. 'That should take him a while.' Jay thought.
"You think this can hold me?" Passo asked, barging through the doors, running toward the two. Jay and Alan reacting quickly, ran up some flights of stairs to the second floor, opening a door leading into a bedroom. Alan closed the door and held it. But Jay didn't seem to feel any better.
"What's wrong?" Alan asked, still holding the door. Jay was distraught. "We're trapped." He said, raising his hands, as Alan looked around. There was no conjoining door leading into a bathroom or another bedroom. There wasn't even a closet. All there was was a small window, leading to a platform of shingles.
Passo pushed through, pushing Alan into a dresser on the other side of the door, while Jay opened and jumped through the small window. "Oh, no you don't!" Passo said, jumping through the window too. He looked around, but couldn't see Jay. 'Did he jump off by accident?' He thought. His answer was a punch, sending him to the edge of the platform. Some trickles of blood fell off his lower lip, as he looked up at Jay.
"Why you little…" Passo began. But now he was trapped. Jay had the brown book open, while Alan was standing next to the window, dazed, but all right otherwise.
"Braidon!" Jay yelled. The whip of hair hit some of the shingles, causing them to fly at Passo in a heap of rubble. Jay started climbing through the window, then shut it.
"You think that's all it takes to stop me? Passo asked angrily. Jay looked at the platform as it was near the window. There were cracks. Lots of cracks. The platform started to shift, as Jay waved goodbye. The platform finally broke off, and sent Passo hurtling two stories down, with rubble toppling over him. Jay and Alan hurried out of the palace to watch the spectacle unfold.
"Passo!" Was the first thing they heard. One of the book owners, who was still searching for them in the crowd, was yelling it angrily as looked at some smoldering ashes on the ground. Jay and Alan knew what it was. Passo's book had been destroyed. Suddenly, a purple tornado appeared and sucked the two remaining Mamodo, the book owners, and Jay and Alan into it. They reappeared at the warehouse.
Adesso and Futuro stared at them, surprised at Passo's demise. "You'll pay for what you've done to our brother!" They said together.
