(After watching 'Spellbound', I fell in love.)
Shimmer nodded at her older brother and mouthed, 'Go.' Mammoth grinned and leaped from the building top... right onto the armored truck's hood. "Nice shot, Mammoth! Go guys." See-More called, landing.
The group this time was Mammoth, See-More, Punk Rocket, Kyd Wykkyd, and for the first time, Shimmer. The target? An armored truck supposedly shipping several artifacts that would sell nicely.
The driver hopped out and ran away. "Hurry guys! Lets get moving before Titans show up!" See-More ordered, grabbing several bags of ancient coins. Kyd nodded and quickly began teleporting loot back to base.
Shimmer overturned a box and her eyes landed on a book. "Oh my gosh, a book!" Shimmer squealed, tossing her loot to her brother and picking it up. "Darn it, its stuck." She growled as she tried opening it. "Come on, love! Lets get outta here!" Punk Rocket yelled. Shimmer winked and said, "Be right there, gorgeous!" Punk blushed and quickly ran into the portal Kyd had opened before Mammoth could squish him.
Shimmer held the book close to herself and leaped through the portal, vowing to open that book and read it later.
"Open, you darned thing! Open!" Shimmer growled, practically wrestling with the book. "What are you doing?" Angel asked, her eyebrows hitting her hairline. "Trying to open this book... I think the pages are stuck or something though." Shimmer explained, setting it down on the coffee table and glaring at it.
Angel examined it and said, "Duh. It's sealed magically. Elliot!" She yelled. Kyd appeared and signed, 'Yes, Angela?' Angel handed him the book. "You know a bit of magic, right? Open the book!" Kyd looked it over and seemed to be mutely grumbling. It was pretty funny to see.
Kyd set it down and signed, 'Simple spell. Someone was just trying to shut it temporarily and keep nosy people out of it.' "That... counts for me, doesn't it?" Shimmer asked, grinning sheepishly. Kyd nodded and teleported away. "I hate when he does that." Shimmer said, scowling. Angel chuckled. "You get used to it."
Kyd came back about ten minutes later and set several bottles down. "So, you do magic?" Shimmer said. 'Not well. I'm no where as good as say, Raven. But I know minor spells, like the one that is keeping this book shut.'
Kyd combined a couple of the reagents together while Shimmer's full attention was on him. Finally, Kyd had ended up with a small pile of sparkling dust. 'Shimmer, care to do the honors?' He handed her the canister. Shimmer blinked in surprise, then nodded and grinned. 'Just spread it evenly over the cover.'
Shimmer picked up the spell remover and very gently sprinkled it over the cover. The cover glowed for a second, then it just looked normal. "Good, now I can read an excellent book- gah!" The moment Shimmer opened the book, light exploded, sending all three members of the room flying. Shimmer hit the wall with a bang and screeched loudly.
Anyone who didn't hear that would've had to be deaf, and everyone began running to the main room.
Someone stepped out of the now open book and said, "Well. That took longer than it need to. Where am I?" See-More ran in first and said, "What the hell is going on- Malchior!"
Malchior turned around and said, "Well, See-More. Weren't you frozen?" See-More swallowed nervously and said, "Not anymore. Weren't you sent into another dimension?" "I got sent back... and turned back into a book." Malchior said, dusting himself off.
The rest of the villains ran in, Mammoth last. He saw Malchior, he saw Shimmer lying next to the wall, barely conscious. He made the correct assumption that Malchior did something.
Next thing Malchior knew, he was pinned to the wall by Mammoth, who was now growling death threats. "Calm down, giant. I did not intend to harm... whoever that is. And be thankful that I can not shift into my true form and risk bringing the roof down on all of us." Malchior said. "Baron, put whoever that is down. I'm fine." Shimmer slowly got up and glared at the boy.
Mammoth snorted and dropped Malchior. "Thank you. And Kyd Wykkyd, right?" Kyd came forward and nodded at the dragon. "Thank you for setting me loose. However, I believe I could use your assistance in retaining my true self instead of... this form." He looked at his paper form in disgust. Kyd nodded and signed, 'Follow me. Just... stay in paper form while indoors... I'd rather you not trash our current hideout.'
Malchior chuckled and followed Kyd. Everyone stood in silence until Angel said, "Wait. What the heck just happened!" She followed Kyd, shaking her head. "I think Angel summed it up. I'm gonna go bother the titans, see you later." Red X said, vanishing.
Kyd scowled and signed, 'I have the stuff for potion... but what will you need this one for?' Malchior looked over the various ingredients and said, "Well... I have my reasons. By the way, what is the connection between the red headed girl and Mammoth?" 'The girl's name is Shimmer, and she's Mammoth's younger sister.' Malchior nodded and said, "I can understand the protectiveness now."
Kyd handed him the potion and Malchior mumbled a few ancient words, the potion turned into a mist and dissolving into his bandages. "Ah... now I think I have some havoc to cause, what do you think, Kyd?" Kyd silently chuckled.
Malchior ended up causing quite a bit of trouble and nearly got locked into another book, and Shimmer laughed her ass off when he came back.
Needless to say, those two would never quite get along...
(Malchior will be constantly in a state of here/not here. I love him though, epic bad guy! Wonder about the contents about the other potion for a while though.
I didn't expect to see so many people beg for Private Hive/Shimmer. Hmm... I will consider it. In the mean time, she'll just be flirtatious.
Bye byes! Remember to review!)
