Hey guys! I'M BACK! *knife hits wall beside me* Eep! I'M SORRY! I'VE MADE YOU WAIT A VERY LONG TIME, I KNOW! JUST DON'T HURT ME! *clears throat* That's why I whipped up an awesome chapter! In my opinion, this is the best chapter I've whipped up for you guys in this story, so I hope you enjoy! ^^
"Wait, Sapphire's your cousin?" Mr. L asked, disbelief in his voice. "How come you never told me that?"
"You never asked." Connor casually said, sensing he'll be in another fight with the masked man. "It's not like it's so important for you to know, right?"
"It is when you're cousin is actually someone I know." Mr. L begun.
Odin looked disgustingly at his 'Dimentio state' and snapped his fingers, a cloud of dust covering his transformation. Once the dust disappeared, a teen with blonde hair and green eyes was in Dimentio's former 'copy's' place.
Odin was wearing a magician's outfit, complete with a hat and wand. (Typical) Dimentio chuckled when he saw Odin, to which Odin glared. (While Connor and Mr. L's arguments were heard in the background.)
"What? You wear a jester's outfit!" Odin snapped.
"Yes, but I am different and original, like penguin in a group of pigeons, while you, my good sir," He gestured to Odin. "Are not." Odin glared. With a wave of his wand, Dimentio had transformed into a cat.
"No, that's original." Odin snickered. Dimentio smirked and snapped his fingers, turning Odin into a mouse. Odin gasped and looked with fear at Dimentio's teeth, and stance, ready to chase his shrieked before running away, terrified of what that demented jester had in plan for him.
In a matter of time, Dimentio had caught the little mouse and smirked. Odin widened his eyes before closing him, thinking it had been the end. Dimentio's smirk had turned into a wide smile as he snapped his claws, turning them both into themselves. Odin opened his eyes and gasped, seeing himself back to normal. He glared at Dimentio.
"You're psychotic." He said. Dimentio just did his signature creepy smile, making Odin shudder.
Sapphire can't help but think about her latest discovery. Though she would never admit it vocally, she's actually glad that Connor's her cousin, since her parents are captured, she has no other family members left to go to. At least she had a reliable person to go to when she had troubles. She trusts him, something in her gut tells her that he's reliable,
Actually, her subconscious mind is telling her that Connor's been a brotherly figure to her. That just made her even more curious about the life she had before she had amnesia. That gave her all the more reason to come up with this conclusion.
Amnesia sucks.
While she was trying to recall her life before amnesia, Tasha had suddenly tugged on her dress, making her snap out of her thoughts. Sapphire had become annoyed at first, but when she saw the expression on her wolf guide's face, she became confused and slightly worried. Tasha looked nervous.
"What?" She had asked. Tasha pointed at a ruby on the wall, surrounded by an amazing golden flower design. Nothing seemed wrong, it was just a mere display. "Don't be so skeptical Tasha, it's just a display."
"Look closer, something moved inside it." Sapphire raised an eyebrow, and by curiosity she went closer, wanting to know what her little friend was talking about. Something was, in fact, in there, a circular thing that zooms in and out. Sapphire gasped.
It's a camera!
"GUYS!" She exclaimed, catching the attention of everyone. "There's a hidden camera here!"
"What?!" The once-fighting boys had simultaneously exclaimed, terror evident in their eyes.
"I thought you said that Damian had no idea whatsoever about this place?!" Mr. L exclaimed.
"I did!" Connor answered, confused. "I check this place everyday to make sure none of his hidden cameras were here.
"It's in the red ruby." Sapphire explained, gesturing to the ruby. "Was it there before?"
"Yes, it was a gift from your parents." Connor said. He was thinking why Damian had access to the ruby and put a hidden camera there. "How'd he get a hold of it?"
"I stole it." Everyone was shocked to see Damian standing in the corner of the room. "You should no better than to hide things from me." He scolded. Connor widened his eyes.
"You know everything?" He gulped.
"Of course! Do you think I'm dumb?" Damian said, walking toward the group, all of them readying themselves just in case Damian would attack. "You wouldn't actually believe that I won't search through your stuff while you were on missions?" Connor widened his eyes, muttering a curse under his breath. He feels so dumb for not considering that would happen.
"And you never knew, but the day you asked to be my apprentice was the day you became a pawn."
"You asked?!" She exclaimed suddenly, feeling deceived. Water formed around her hands, ready to hit him at any moment. Connor held his hands up.
"No! It's not what you think!" Connor tried to convince her.
"No matter how much I'd hate to say it," Damian said, walking over to Sapphire, who growled at him. "He's right, it isn't what you think." Connor sighed as Sapphire now directed her anger at Damian.
"He knew you would come here. After all, prophecies are never wrong, but there's one thing in that prophecy I'd have to correct," He paused, glaring at Connor. "You can never be able to defeat me."
Then Connor widened his eyes, gripping his chest at the sudden impact. He suddenly screamed in pain, falling to his knees. Mr. L quickly went to side and laid him down. (1) Sapphire did a battle cry and shot water at Damian. Him dodging all attacks she throws at him.
"What did you do?!" She exclaimed in pure anger, still firing her attacks at him. Damian smirked.
"What I was planning to do years ago." Damian had said, making Sapphire even more furious.
She was not fond of Damian being unclear.
"That's not the right answer!" Sapphire exclaimed, gripping the collar of Damian. "What did you do?!" She said coldly, in the lowest voice she can muster. Damian merely laughed, making Sapphire more annoyed.
"I merely took his powers, young lady." Damian got out of Sapphire's grip, shocking her. Damian smirked and tackled her, making her fall to the ground. He pointed his finger at her, a dark energy surrounding it. Sapphire gasped. "Would you like for me to do that to you?"
Mr. L checked Connor's body for anything wrong, but he can't find any wounds of any sort. Whatever's hurting Connor, must be hurting him from the inside.
"Hang in there." Mr. L said in a vain attempt to calm him down. Connor managed to open his eyes and smile in gratitude. Mr. L had put up a forced smile, hoping it can help his friend in any way.
Suddenly, a purple aura had come out of Connor, and fled to Damian's outstretched hand. Then, Connor's body slumped, indicating that he had grown unconscious. Then Tormey and the other shape-shifting spirits had neared Mr. L.
"Anything we can do to help?" Talise asked, her eyes worriedly looking at Connor's distraught figure.
"Yeah, you can stay here and watch over Connor while I," Mr. L said, electricity running through his hands. "Will give Mr. Boss-me-around a little something I wanted to give him since I got sucked into this mess."
Damian was smirking as he saw Sapphire widen his eyes. He took the time to look at her eyes.
Fear and worry.
Exactly what he wanted her to feel. He took a deep breath as he released his energy. Sapphire closed her eyes expecting the impact. Then, at the last minute, something had pushed her away from the shot. Damian growled, irritated.
Sapphire opened her eyes to see Mr. L standing there, smirking at her as he outstretched his hand. Sapphire blushed, but gladly took it with a smile.
"Thanks." Sapphire muttered. The Green Thunder smiled.
"Anytime." Mr. L faced Damian, once again summoning the green electricity to surge through his hands, smirking. "Now, how about we show that self-loving jerk who's boss?" Sapphire returned the smirk, her own powers surging through her hands.
Soooo, how you guys like it? Tell me in the reviews what ya think about it! ^^ And as you may have noticed, this story's gonna end in 1-3 chapters or so. Please R&R! Please?
(1) Mr. L and Connor had actually become great friends during the time he's 'captured'. I'm actually thinking about making a mini-story about that. (You know, after I've finished all my others.) What do you guys think?
