Chapter 9: Test #2 Arc: First Challenge and Separation!
Mountain Top: February 6th 11:23 A.M
The Five stood on the cliff side gazing at the scene. Unknown to the others Double D, Techlin and Dante could actually hear what was down there. Techlin and Dante didn't know why, but they could smell things that they normally wouldn't hear like metallic footsteps on the cliff.
'' Wait what the...you got to be kidding me.'' Dante said as he looked down and saw a dozen sentries coming up on the cliff side.
'' We haven't even got down and we have to face our first challenge.'' Eddy said excited at the mountain side battle that was sure to occur especially when they started to fire their laser beams.
'' I suppose so let me do the honors and start the fight!'' Double D exclaimed as he jumped from the cliff his arms spread like wings and his feet together.( Assassin's Creed Leap of Faith)
'' Now Double D changed! I wonder what he'll do next!'' Ed exclaimed as he too jumped.
'' Well I guess change is a big acceptance in this group!'' Techlin exclaim as he and Eddy jumped off sticking close to the mountain side.
'' Hey I'm the youngest I get to make the dangerous plans!'' Dante said as he too jumped.
Edd fell past the sentries with some looking back as their target fell. Double D turned and grabbed his bow as he pulled back, the light arrow coming as he let go of the string as it separated into three smaller arrows and hit three sentries on the mark.
'' Terra: Eruption!'' Ed shouted the Book of Earth flew into his hands and went to the spell page as the book glowed green.
Sharp pointed rocks erupted from the ground under the sentries cutting through them and knocking some off to their doom as Ed nodded satisfied of his attack as he landed on it and saw the falling forms of Eddy and Techlin drop past him.
Techlin was coming in on two sentries and was about to slice one of them and ice the other til he felt something pulse with his heartbeat. Time slowed as he felt the sensation grow stronger as his heartbeat went up and Techlin shot open his eyes as his eyes glowed a light blue time went normal and he used his weight to slam down on the mountain and imagine all their surprise when the rock underneath the sentries erupted with blue tendrils shooting out and crushing/cutting the sentries into little bits as Techlin made ice appear below him where he landed in shock staring at his hands as the blue stuff danced around in his hands.
Eddy saw what happened and he saw a few sentries in front of him and just like Techlin time slowed down for Eddy as he saw a dark mist appear in front of him and Eddy reached for it as he felt...sand? Eddy didn't have time to think as time went forward and he saw the black sand appear in front of him and he pushed forward as it consumed the three sentries turning them into nothing and Eddy felt that instead of disappearing they were in the sand. They were the sand! Eddy continued to fell til he made a moving motion and the sand stopped moving and he fell in its surprisingly soft catch as he was left in the air with the others now looking on in surprise as well.
Dante suddenly fell past Eddy as three sentries came at him shooting their lasers at him and they came too fast for him to react and he felt something that gave him a cold chill as if death's hand was touching him but when he opened his eyes he saw that darkness was coming off of him and they formed two round shields as blocked the lasers and the shields moving coming to the side of the sentries and they slam back together making machinery fly everywhere as the darkness caught Dante and guided him.
Double D landed by softening his fall with a Force Field that didn't give him a headache at all. Techlin made an Ice Slide for him to go down and flipped in the air before landing. Ed made the rock under him loose at the bottom as it slid at great speeds to the bottom, Eddy was guided by the black sand and Dante let the dark mist guide him down and when he touched the ground the black mist went away with some going into a shadow or into him.
The sand disappeared into Eddy going into him anywhere they can and it didn't hurt.'' Okay what the fuck was that?'' Eddy asked more to himself than the others as he received no answer.
'' Man I wonder what other surprises will come our way.'' Techlin said looking at his hands as he saw a blue ball of the strange energy as some fell like mist to his hands.
'' Man I thought I didn't need to train with more powers, but now its just more work for me.'' Dante sighed as he saw the darkness coming from his hands like mist.
'' You know you're just lazy.'' Ed said with Dante shrugging already accepting that being lazy was good enough for him.
'' Well look its just a few surprises we can get over but for now lets move, I believe that we should keep moving before more of those sentries come along and no running Eddy!'' Double D yelled as he saw Eddy about to run and he just grunted crossing him arms.
The boys left the clearing and into the forest. They soon found a path that they came upon and followed it. The boys looked around the area as they walked in silence. One thing they did notice was that there was no wildlife besides insects, plants and birds. They were curious as to why their was so little wildlife on an island of this size.
'' Hey guys you ever wonder if we should be bad or good?'' Eddy suddenly asked.
'' No, being the good guys sounded better.'' Dante quickly replied following the old cliché that heroes always win.
'' Why did you asked?'' Ed asked the now normal size boy.
'' Its just from that dream that gave us this powers and what that lady said at the end.'' Become a Savior or Destroyer.'' What does that mean?'' Eddy explained then asked the others of their opinion.
'' A choice that is probably given to all that have powers.'' Techlin said once he thought about it.
'' I'll have to go with Techlin on this one it could be that the mysterious being gave us our powers and basically said to choose between good or bad. Some others might have chosen bad and others good.
But ''Savior'' and ''Destroyer'' might have been the original name of the Heroes and Villains of Powers before being modernized.'' Double D said not thinking that hard of the answer.
'' Well being bad might not seem so bad, it basically do whatever you want. Maybe I should switch sides?'' Eddy said and when he saw the others turning back and looking at him he held his hands up.'' Just joking!'' Eddy cried.
'' You better be Eddy or we would have to beat the good back into you.'' Dante said with a chuckle as they continued to walk.
'' Come on guys! Do really think I'll turn to the dark side?'' Eddy asked them.
'' Well no, but if you do what Dante said will come true.'' Ed said as Eddy sighed.
'' Well don't worry about it. I'd never turn bad too many clichés as it is with them.'' Eddy said finishing the conversation.
They all continued in silence for a few minutes, following the dirt path, til their stomachs rumbled.
'' Oh man I forgot about breakfast! What are we gonna eat?'' Ed asked as his stomach grumbled and it was loud enough to scare a few birds away.
'' Dante you have anything?'' Edd asked.
'' Nope I checked inside the plane when we walked to the clearing we slept in and our rations was burned.'' Dante said as the other groaned as they needed food and now.
'' Wait ''sniff sniff'' I smell...food!'' Ed yelled as he started to run to the smell the other following trying to stop and calm the hungry beast that was Ed.
Ed tore down trees in his path as he followed his mouth salivating as he followed the smell. He could just taste was deliciousness it would bring him and how full his belly would be. He pretty much ignored the shouts for him to stop from his friends as they ran after him.
'' Damn it Ed stop!'' Techlin shouted his straw hat having fallen off his head and onto his back.
'' Ed stop this instant!'' Double D shouted in an ordering voice that he knew always worked but Ed only continued.
'' Man Hungry Ed bad, full Ed good! Ed if you don't stop...I'll tell you your birthday present.'' Dante lied as Ed still went.
'' Ed I swear I'm going to pummel you after this!'' Eddy shouted as they saw Ed exit the trees and was gone from sight. They quickly moved and came out of the trees and crashed into the back of Ed, well Eddy did and the others just stopped on the side and they froze as their mouths dripped with saliva. Eddy saw their stare and looked from behind Ed and became a perfect picture of the others expression.
In front of them stood a garden, a huge garden. In it were fruit and vegetables in bushes in the ground and was neatly up. There strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, cabbage, corn stalks, apple trees, tomatoes, potatoes, and other fruits and veggies. They were left in wonder til Ed gave in as he jumped in the greenery and started devouring the food with Dante right behind him acting more like Ed was and was eating like an animal. Techlin went next to am orange tree and started to eat some oranges at a moderate pace. Eddy was in the tree eating the apples.
Double D hunger was too busy clouding his mind as he moved a bush with bananas and started to peel the skin back and ate it. Double D's eyes widen at the taste of the banana as it tasted more delicious than anything he had ever tasted. He quickly ate that and continued as he soon was done with ten bananas and he was already full and saw the banana peels on the ground and blushed not knowing he could eat like that.
Double D felt some dirt hit him in the face and whipped it off quickly and saw that Ed and Dante were tearing through the ground leaving the bushes bare and broken. The ground itself was a wreck with a two tracks of dirt that was turned over by the two.
'' Ed, Dante how could you? This garden was of absolute perfection til you two came and destroyed it! At least you guys can salvage some for future needs!'' Double D shouted in horror but the two continued and he felt something hit the back of his head. The smart-Ed turned around and saw Eddy sitting on a large pile of apples as the apple trees was left bare of their fruit.
'' Eddy not you too!'' Edd cried out and Eddy chucked another apple core at Edd from the apple he just finished.
'' Stop whining Sockhead! Look it grows back like magic!'' Eddy said pointing to a tree above him and Edd saw that it was full with apples again.
' But I just saw that tree it was completely bare!' Edd thought as he turned around and saw the now full Ed and Dante laying back-to-back on the ground with full stomachs and with a content smile and Double D saw as grass started to grow at an unnatural rate and the bushes repaired themselves back to their original state and fruit grew out as well. Soon the garden looked as if the two heavy eater didn't just destroy it.
Edd looked over to Techlin seeing him finish what seems to be his tenth orange as the peels started to sink into the ground. Eddy apples did so as well as he fell on his rump.
'' Amazing! This garden must be what feeds the students at the school, if its real, meaning unlimited food supplies! There must be a Being of Power ( The general name for people with powers) that must control nature and is growing food for the school!'' Edd cried out in excitement as he must meet the one responsible for this cause if it can do this on its own then world hunger would be a thing of the past!
A strong wind started to blow and he heard a strange noise as did the others. The wind blew stronger and the noise got more stronger as the earth under them shook with great force as they all stood, alert that danger might come their way. The bushes was then sucked under ground along with the trees around the clearing making a more wider clearing fit for a giant. The earth in front of them erupted off the ground as a giant hand made of trees came out and another followed. Then what they guess was a head came out and had blueberries as one of its ''eye'' that was on the left and green apples and pears on the right making the other ''eye''. The head was made of trees as its ''hair'' was the top of trees and its mouth had sharp wooden pieces as its ''teeth''.
It lifted itself some more and its body was revealed with the torso made up of fruits of all kinds, its arms and legs were green and Edd saw that the arms was vegetables. Its feet was wooden with sharp toes. It stood higher than a ten story building and under a fifteen story building, Dante guessed as they looked at Natzilla, as they dubbed it.
It looked down at them and saw how they looked full with food and it guessed what they had eaten. It gave a roar so loud all the animals and insects on the island flew off. The five covered their ears as they regrouped as the sound was deafening. They heard it stop and looked up only to see its fist coming down and they all jumped away as it hit the earth leaving a small house sized crater.
Eddy landed off to the side of the beast and saw it come for him with a kick. Eddy quickly dodged the attack that would have launched him somewhere far and threw his chakrams followed by three arcs of fire coming its way. The attacks landed burning the giant as it left burnt marks on the wooden arms and fruits shriveled up at where the heart was, but it still stood as it swung down faster than Eddy could move and smacked him away.
Ed was able to catch Eddy as he was hurled his way and was pushed back due to the force. After they stopped he let Eddy down who wobbled to his feet, but was fine as he sat down trying to catch up to the time. Ed came running at the beast next knowing the best way to kill it. With a big lightning attack!
'' Fulgur: Thor's Hammer!'' Ed shouted as the book made yellow lightning come our forming a hammer as Ed grasp the handle, the lightning not affecting him, and pulled his right arm back and threw with all his strength. The hammer flew like a bullet as it came into contact with the head as it exploded with lightning which coursed throughout the nature monster, and it left it with the face charred as it roared in more pain as it tried to reach Ed til its left hand was hit by a blue sphere as it froze it, but then blades grew from the ice as it protruded the wood and the hand fell leaving it in chunks of ice.
Ed looked over and saw Techlin as a smirk came across his face. His new move had worked. He basically compressed his blade attack which took some energy and formed ice around it and the result was just as he predicted. It freezes over the one its hit and then blades will come shattering the thing.
Dante came next as he came from no where and climbed up Natzilla's leg with metal claws making its leg itch. It looked and saw the bug that was crawling on him and grabbed Dante with his other hand as the boy gave a yelp of surprise as it lifted him to its charred face as it roared sending branches and fruit juices to Dante who closed his eyes and kept his mouth shut til it stopped.
'' You know for something with a fruit torso your breath stinks!'' Dante said as he charged himself with Red Lightning as it roared in pain again and threw Dante to the ground as the boy hit the earth with a sounding boom as a crater the size of the other one was left with an unsteady Dante in the middle as the lightning boy was left in a daze.
Natzilla turned to the other three and was about to smash down with its good fist til it felt something on its back and look over its shoulder to see an arrow on it, a bright yellow arrow. Then it saw the other one right behind it holding a bow and another arrow, but much brighter.
'' I hope this works.'' Edd muttered as he fired his arrow high in the air and did an arc that was heading to Natzilla's head, but halfway to the head the arrow started to shimmer and shake as it started to exploded casting a bright light and when the light disappeared there was now over fifty smaller, but a little less powerful than his average, arrows. But there was a little surprise in the arrows that left Double D more tired.
The arrows hit the giant garden as they pierced its head, shoulders some of its arm and with the rest landing on the ground around it. The arrows made the giant hurt and did a one-eighty as it went to smash Edd who was too tired from the attack to move as he tried to catch his breath. Edd looked up and saw the giant was about to get him and Edd prayed to all that was mighty that the last part would happen and when he saw the arrows started to glow he smirked. The arrows, just like their predecessor, and it happened again. The arrows exploded in light again blinding Natzilla as the ones below exploded damaging its feet and legs. When the light dispersed it showed Natzilla who legs, head, shoulder, and feet was covered in black markings from the explosion. The Five had truly thought they won as the giant fell to the side making a boom that sounded across the island.
Double D who finally caught his breath looked up to see his friends running up to him with smiles as they all lifted him up from the ground.'' Double D one surprise after the other huh?'' Eddy said as he gave his friend a slug in the arm.
'' Dude you have got to try that again!'' Dante exclaimed wanted to see something bigger get beaten by some small arrows, and enjoyed its death.
'' Well maybe another time.'' Edd said with a slight smile, but the smile went off when Ed picked him up.
'' This is Double D! Destroyer of Natzilla and Giants!'' Ed hollered as the others roared with laughter with Edd blushing slightly.
'' Alright Ed put him down.'' Techlin said after the laughing ended. Ed put the smaller boy down as Edd thanked him. But a loud crunching sound stopped their small celebration as they looked back at the 'dead' Natzilla. The explosion markings on the giant was started to disappear as it looked as if it wasn't touched at all, its hand regrew, and then it started to...separate into five? They all looked at it with shock on their faces as a strong wind came and sliced it up to smaller pieces and the smaller pieces started to regrow looking like smaller versions of Natzilla. They started to stand as the ones they were facing was just like Natzilla but at Dante's height. They were basically fighting over a dozen Mini-Natzillas.
'' Shit.'' Techlin said as he crossed his arms.
'' Well I thought their father? Mother? Whatever that thing was wasn't much of a challenge.'' Ed stated grabbing hold of the Book of Fire.
'' I agree with ya Ed.'' Eddy stated as Black Sand started to rise from him.
'' Well lets make this quick we have people to save.'' Dante said grabbing some some pellets and coursing them with all his colored lightning, with some of them wondering where the Red came from.
'' Then lets finish this fight.'' Double D said preparing to use his Force Fields this time. They all charged at the small platoon of Natzillas with Ed shouted out a fire spell sending a large fire ball to the creatures and quickly hit the first ones as they all caught fire and yet they still charged. Now this fight either got harder or easier for them.
With Lily 11:48 A.M. Hallways
Lily walked down the hallway in her military outfit. She needed to keep this on at all times when shes not in her room as Vladimir will capture her for his collection. Her dad decided to bring her along for this one with her and him coming to America for a little bit, where he said he met her mom. Though she was twenty-four her dad always chose to treat her like a little kid. At first it really was a vacation for them as they did some fun things while in New York and she marveled at the Statue of Liberty.
But that all went south when he was called in for work. Her father asked did she want to come and she never thought that this is what he worked on. She was indeed angry with him that he ran a mercenary army and even more angry with the fact that the man they were working for was the one hunting her kind down. She always knew that on that day she read about how people were disappearing a few years ago, when Beings of Power started to disappear, that was when she knew something was up. She looked up everything about it and found that the disappearance of random civilians wasn't random and discovered through family connection of the victims and more research that they all had one thing in common: Powers.
Lily wasn't that surprise when military officers came to her hometown in France before she went to New York. She knew of the shields to keep out the Heroes and made a song strong enough to make the technology glitch and was able to escape. She left home leaving her song to sing on the night she left. She laid low with her father none the wiser of the fact and she planned to keep it that way. Her father would harm anyone who hurt his 'Little Harmony' and she was sure that Vladimir was more than capable of defending himself.
Lily turned the corner of the hall and saw some of her dad's ''soldiers'' talking til they saw her and started calling her over. Lily turned the other way and away from the perverted men. She knew what they wanted and she will not give them that. Though this happened daily as the men always asked her out and she always declined but they were persistent and what was more disliking of this was that some of the men that tried to get her was married or had girlfriends. Men like that made her sick!
But she was also worried for her safety. Some of the men stare at her more hungrily as if they were wolves who haven't eaten in weeks and she knew that when wolves were hungry they'll do anything just to get their food. Lily suppressed a shudder at the mere thought of those men trying to touch her like that. As she walked she turned another left looking around seeing the same thing each day she got here. Plain gray painted walls and a ceiling so high you couldn't see the top and wooden doors. Lots of wooden doors. But she needed to get to her room which was just around this corner.
She soon saw her door which was made of soundproof metal and got her key outside her pocket put the key into the lock, twist and went inside closing and locking the door behind her. She looked at her room and sighed seeing that she needed to clean. Her room was plain with a dresser next to her small bed that had a pillow and blanket. There was no closet so she kept her things in a small suitcase that was under her bed. Some of her clothes was scattered on the floor making it a little messy and when she looked into her personal bathroom she saw she left her panties and bra and her pajamas in there.
Lily sighed wishing she had her mother's genes to clean up like her dad always said she did, but she got his messy one instead and she proceeded to pick up her clothes. As she picked up a purple shirt that was on her bed she saw that a metal stick was under it. It was actually a flute, made out of gold with carvings of butterflies that was flying with green glowing notes that was on the flute. Lily picked the flute up and examine it, the dream she had last night came rushing back to her.
Flashback 11:59 P.M Lily's Dream
Lily spun and danced in a forest of beautiful green trees as she sang. She felt so free, as if nothing will ruin her life from here on out and that nothing will crush it. She was dressed in a beautiful white dress that reached her ankles. Lily soon came to a stop as before her laid a lake with the sun shining bright on it making it look like a sea of sparkling diamonds. But in the middle was a tree that was larger than a two houses and it sparkled, despite the leaves blocking the sunlight. She just wanted to touch that tree as it felt so alluring like it was calling to her.
The green haired woman looked down to see that she was on a cliff that had multiple flowers and tress growing from it, but even from the high level she could she through the clear waters as if she was standing right over it. The fish was an assortment of colors ranging from the darkest of blacks to the brightest of colors. Lily didn't know why but she reached over to try to touch the water and the hand she used to support herself slipped on the wet grass and fell forward.
As she plummeted to the ground she tried reaching for the trees, but they moved away from her as if they were scared. Lily started to scream as she saw that the clear water turned as dark as an abyss and spikes came out where she was about to land. Lily knew that this was it. It was her death. She closed her eyes as tightly as she could as the spikes came closer and closer and in a few seconds she'll be dead. But instead of feeling spikes she felt something on her back, her arms, and legs and she felt the air beneath her. Her arms and legs spread wide by something with little feet.
Taking her chances, she opened her eyes to see that she was in the air and she gasped as beneath her the lake started to shine a bright green. Lily looked at her arms and saw that on her was hundreds of small butterflies that had both green and black wings. One landed on her nose and she looked crossed eyed at it as she saw the wings in more detail. The green wing had musical notes that were green and the black wing had white markings that looked like paintings of butterflies.
Lily felt all the butterflies let go off her as she continued to fall and underneath her was that tree that was in the middle of the lake. As the woman in the white dress fell she saw the 'leaves' on the tree fly away from the tree and came towards her. As they came closer the a butterfly as big as a dog came forward and Lily reached out towards it.
'' The Green Note.'' A high female voice said and Lily's world exploded in colors of green and black.
Flashback Ends
Lily was brung from her thoughts when she felt the floor under her shake and she wasn't that surprised or frighten by it. Ever since she got here there was something shaking the building either due to her daddy testing out weapons for Vladimir or when Vladimir was working on something underground that he was keeping secret from everyone.
Lily shook her head as she set the flute down on her dresser and continued to pick up her clothing. A few minutes later she was done having set them in her laundry basket and sat back down on her bed taking the flute in her hand. She really wished she knew what happened last night cause her father, who had an extra key, came in to wake up her to see her covered in a green light that had musical notes coming off from it and that the notes were half green and black. Tom said that it only lasted for a few minutes but guessed it could have been going on more longer.
When he saw her after the light was gone she was wearing a white dress (Nel's Espada Outfit from Bleach) that he complimented hugged her body nicely which he received a punch to the head for. It was a nice dress she had to admit but she wished it disappear and a second later it was gone and left her naked. Luckily the door was close and locked and that her dad was knocked out. She experimented a little and thought of changing to an orange sleeveless shirt, short-shorts, and some sandals. It changed instantly to what she wanted and what best was that the clothing was real to the very touch.
She changed back to the original form and took it off putting it in the drawer and putting on an extra pair of her pajamas. Her dad woke up and decided to leave as to get the others woken and said goodbye telling her to not think too hard about this new discovery but he also said that he'll try to get some info from Vladimir as a way of learning why he was so determine to get those five boys here.
So know here she was sitting on her bed with a notepad in hand just idling drawing. She had many skills that she could say was at least masterful. Lily took an interest in two things when she started school when she was younger and that was music and art. She was just fascinated with the two arts and hopped that she could become as great as others artist such as Leonardo Da Vinci her idol in the painting matter. Music came to her like second nature, just like painting, and by the time she was sixteen she was doing nearly all of Beethoven's piano songs and was her idol in music.
Her love for the two was the one thing that kept her going and to learn more, sure there was the other classes that she passed with As and Bs, but never in her school records were there a single B or lower in Music and Art as it will only and always will be an A. Lily looked down at her sketch and saw that she drew a fox with a butterfly on its nose in a middle of a forest with the sun shining down on the two animals.
'' Why the hell did I draw this?'' Lily asked herself.
'' Okay what does this mean?'' Lily asked herself again knowing that when her mind wanders and shes drawing that she always draw what she felt and how the hell did this represent what she was feeling.
Lily sighed as she closed the sketch book and decided to take a short nap. Taking off her uniform, she laid down on her bed not bothering to put on pajama pants and decided to let her pink panties be shown. She slid under her cover and felt real tired as she laid her head on her pillow and soon fell asleep.
With the Five. After the battle.
Eddy and the others were standing in the middle of sliced and burnt fruit and twigs that were once their attackers. The battle was quite a challenge with them being on fire and the fact that they too can regenerate like their parent.
'' Man those things were annoying.'' Techlin stated as he picked up a few more oranges and other fruits.
'' You're still going to eat those?'' Dante asked.
'' Well yeah, can't have enough oranges when traveling.'' Techlin stated as he put them in Dante's pack. The others started to do so as well.
'' We need any food we can get.'' Ed said to Dante who was about to protest their actions.
'' Damn things better taste good, after all this trouble.'' Eddy said hailing another pile of fruit in there.
'' Don't worry Eddy I'm sure this will be worth it, but we will need some form of protein other than fruit.'' Double D stated putting in some fruit and stopping after that knowing they had enough and zipped up Dante's pack.
'' Meat!'' Eddy excitedly suggested.
'' Gravy!'' Ed exclaimed.
'' Vegetables!'' Dante exclaimed.
'' Oranges.'' Techlin said as he started eating another orange.
'' We do need meat and vegetables for their nutrition values, but gravy and oranges we can't make.'' Double D said with Ed and Techlin looking down trodden.
'' Well lets move on we still have a longs way before we reach Vlad the Dick.'' Eddy said jokingly as he took the lead.
'' I wonder what else is in store for us.'' Ed as they continued their journey.
Soon they reached the forest again and found a path they could follow. They walked in complete silence as even the forest around them was silenced. Twenty minutes passed when the quietness finally got to Eddy as he sighed.
'' How long is it going to take to get there!'' Eddy cried out hopping it was not this bored for the rest of the trip.
'' Well I say about another day, so I suggest we head to the lake and thats where we should set up when it gets dark.'' Techlin said.
'' A whole day! Come on let me just run us over there and we can be done with this!'' Eddy said as he stopped to face the others, making the others stop.
'' Eddy we need to conserve our energy for big fights ahead! Natzilla was just the first challenge we faced, the first challenge, you know that in video games the levels get harder the higher the level!'' Ed exclaimed to Eddy and in the more occurring times that he made since with things from video games and comic books.
'' I must agree with Ed on this one Eddy. Natzilla was a tough opponent and who knows what else we might face. So lets just save our energy in case of an attack.'' Double D told the hot headed boy.
'' For fuck's sake why do you all have to make sense!'' Eddy cried out as the heat started to rise.'' For years I was the one leading the damn group, then you two came and messed it up!'' Eddy accused the Gate brothers pointing a figure at them.
'' We? What the hell man, you basically invited us to join the group!'' Dante said.
'' Yeah you said you wanted to get the new kids a tour and you asked about ourselves and we told you! You even suggested we become business partners!' Techlin exclaimed to Eddy.
'' Oh shut the fuck up! We didn't need you! We were perfectly fine with scamming by ourselves! Right guys?'' Eddy asked turning to his long time friends who looked worried at where this was going.
'' Well Eddy I must say that we did do better after...they...joined.'' Double D voiced lowered to a whisper at the glare Eddy was giving him and looked down to avoid his gaze.
'' You?'' Eddy whispered looking at Ed.
'' I agree with Double D's statement.'' Ed said and went into the trees and away from Eddy as the temperature started to rise.
'' You even turned my own friends against me!'' Eddy yelled at the brothers who stood their grounds.
'' No you turned on them.'' Techlin said as his hands shot up and shooting out ice to his friend to detain him. But Eddy was too quick and dodged the attack and rushed forward to Techlin sending a fast blue fire punch to the boys cheek and sending him flying through the forest where he quickly gave chase.
'' Shit come on guys we need to stop them!'' Ed said jumping out of his tree into another to give chase with Dante and Edd close behind.
With Eddy and Techlin.
Techlin continued to fly through the trees as his cheek was left with a burn and made him dazed. He was lucky to see the punch coming and covered it with ice but it still broke through. Techlin got his bearings in order and saw that he was still going but slowing down. He took this time to flip himself over and move his body to a tree where he landed with a crouch and using the blue energy to stick there.
' This power I know it! Its chi! The power that lives in all the living things in the world! Sweet!' Techlin thought as he stared at the Chi that came off his feet in a blue mist and fading after going about three inches from him.
'' AAAAAAHHHH!'' Techlin looked up to see Eddy coming at him at high speeds with a White Fire Fist* as trees and plants caught fire and burned and was planning on getting him with it!
If Techlin was correct white fire was the known hottest flame in the universe and could burn through nearly anything. Though if there was a substance cold enough to equal about negative-two-thousand seven hundred or more can negate the burning effects and with Eddy it was bound to be hotter.
Techlin started to build up his own fist as he covered it with a light cover of ice and made him and his fist colder as everything around him started to freeze over and after a few more seconds the whole area around him was now White Ice*. Eddy came to him not a second later and they both pulled back their element covered fist and crashed them both together.
Techlin and Eddy stared in each other eyes with glares as Eddy's blazing white eyes and Techlin's freezing silver eyes. Their fist battle for dominance as the other proved to be the same match for each other. But suddenly the clashed attacks exploded sending the two boys flying in opposite directions. Eddy flew into the trees and Techlin flew out into an open field and quickly got up just in time to catch a speeding punch from Eddy.
Techlin covered his right fist with Chi as he uppercut Eddy sending the flame boy in the air. Techlin charged up Chi between both his hands and held it slightly behind him on the right as a the chi mist started to condense to ball of Chi that was radiating with power. He felt that this will be the attack to end this as he didn't want to fight someone he considered a brother. Eddy was mad and he had to detain him long enough for the others to come, hopefully this attack will do the trick as he felt tired, very tired.
A dazed Eddy went up into the air like a bullet as he tried to regain his senses. He didn't know why, but his thoughts was scrambled up as he felt like something was in his head and making him think things that he didn't want to think.
' Come on Eddy jusssssst kill them and we are on our own. We have the power to destroy and conquer everything and everyone one in our way!' A snake like voice said.
' No Eddy don't give into temptation! Just ignore him hes turning you against friends, your brothers, fight it!' A woman voice called out.
' Don't listen to her, ssshe isss ssscared of power. She wants to hold you back from your dessstiny.' The snake voice continued and Eddy's world went dark
Eddy looked around and saw nothing but darkness. But suddenly the left of him went up into light blue fire as the snake from his dream arose but blue and black instead and the flames felt more stronger than the white.
' Come on Eddy jussst give me the chance and I'll show you true power.' The snake said leaning closer to Eddy.
' No don't he'll just use you for his means to cause chaos and destruction wherever you are!' Then the right turned to a light blue color as he felt a breeze and looked and saw a lady appear as the wind blew strongly against her. She had light colored skin and had on am elegant blue dress that was made of wind but was strong enough to cover her well developed body.
' Shut it you vile woman!' The snake hissed in anger.
''Eddy please listen you need to go to your friends and help save those people you swore to protect.' The woman said ignoring the snake's words.
' No don't you see they are suppressing you and keeping your power under wraps. They stop you from running and each time you run you become faster. They're suppressing what could be your true strength, your true power!' The snake exclaimed and Eddy turned seeing the snakes point and made his way to it.
' No! But remember how your friend, Dante, showed you the factory that helped you develop your powers and they helped test that power that showed how strong you got. They also been with you through tooth and nail with all succeeding or all failing!' The woman reasoned and Eddy also agreed knowing that they did help most of his life and turned to her.
' Eddy!' The snake cried using its own mental force to control Eddy.
' Eddy!' The woman said doing to same as to make sure he didn't go.
' Eddy!'
' Eddy!'
' Eddy!'
' ENOUGH!' Another voice yelled out stopping the fight before the it split the boy's mind in two.
Eddy let go off his head as he stared up and into the sky above to see as the black sand started to fall and consume the snake and woman as they disappeared with the snake trying to fight it and the woman letting it consume her. But nonetheless they both went away leaving Eddy in darkness standing on black sand. Soon it started to form a person and was female cause Eddy saw her generous assets.
Skin started to form as the skin went into a peach tanned color. And was followed was the face of the same blue woman but with abyss black hair, eyes, finger nails and lipstick. Her legs wasn't legs Eddy realized as it was a snake tail that was black with light blue pattern.
'' W-w-w-who a-a-a-are you.'' Eddy choked out terrified of her.
'' Do not worry my love, I will not harm you.'' The lady said as she moved forward and embraced the boy in a hug and felt him stiffen.
'' Everything is alright I have no intentions of hurting you.'' The hybrid said as Eddy started to relax.
Eddy didn't know why but he trust this strange woman, as if he known her all his life and that she was always with him through everything. Eddy felt tired, more tired than he ever felt as he rested more into the soft pillows.
'' Listen Eddy, I'll send you back out of your mind and tell your friends their spirits will come at the highest dawn.'' The woman whispered seductively in the ear of the black haired boy. Eddy just nodded as his sight started to go away and the last thing he saw was the nice pretty lady go away with a nice pretty smile.
Eddy opened his eyes in time to see the blue sphere come right into his face before it exploded in his face sending him flying backwards faster than his mind can comprehend and he hit something hard and the cracking coming from him or the object he hit and he guessed it was wood. He slid down the tree as his sight was blurry and he saw one black fuzzy thing come to him fast and other ones coming from the side he guessed three one green, one white, and the other brown.
His vision started to become clear as he saw his friends approach him. His friends.'' So Eddy ready for a kick ass or are coming quietly?'' Dante asked kneeling in front of him.
'' Shut up, I'm tired.'' Eddy grumbled as he laid his head back.
'' Yep the bastard is back.'' Ed stated as Eddy shot him a look.
'' Now that that's over you wanna tell us what happened back there?'' Edd asked his hot headed friend.
'' Oh that well sorry, can't help the evil snake bastard in my head, oh and something about our spirits coming at the highest dawn or whatever.'' Eddy said gaining confused looks from the others as they stared at the boy.
'' What?'' Ed simply asked the million dollar question and Eddy sighed as if he thought they'll get the message.
'' I'll explain later, now lets get to lake already so that I can rest.'' Eddy said getting up from his spot, just in time to avoid a laser hitting where he was sitting.
'' What the fuck?'' Eddy whispered a he saw the scorched mark left from the shot.
'' If I can predict that angle of the laser correctly it seems that should have hit your heart.'' Double D said as they all looked at the mark.
'' I wonder who'll want me dead?'' Eddy asked as they all heard a rustling from a tree a yard or two away.
'' Okay I can hear further distances, now that's cool.'' Ed and Eddy both said.
'' Well Eddy it seems your assassin is coming out.'' Dante whispered as the trees continued to rustle and the person dropped out. Or thing.
The thing rose to over half the trees side reaching past Ed's height. Its arms was a black chrome color with a white band at the elbow. A few inches past the band was what seemed to be white tape wrapped round the arm to the hand with the palm side black and the back of the hand white. Its head and torso and shoulders was white. The eyes were two red glowing dots. At the waist was white belt with the ends hanging down. It was wearing black shorts and the legs was covered in white tape with the feet having two toes and was black.
The thing's skin departed as it changed to a gun and it aimed as it shot another laser with the group dodging the shot and it moved at fast speeds as it uppercut Ed with a powerful punch as they heard a crack and Ed was high in the air, before they could stop him the robot jumped into the air heading for Ed.
Ed saw his attacker coming for him, and with his jaw now healed, Ed prepared a spell. '' Aqua: Impact!'' A ball of water formed in the air as it grew in size til it was at car size and Ed ordered the attack to go as it made its way to the fast approaching robot. It looked like a blue meteor as it braced for impact with the robot.
But, and to the surprise of him and the others, the robot flew through the water like a bullet as soon as it exited the spell lost its effect and fell down on the others soaking them. The white robot came to Ed and prepared a punch and Ed put up his arms in defense and the fist made contact as the attack launched Ed a very far distance.
'' Ed!'' His friends called out as his screams got lower as he went further from them.
'' You bastard!'' Ed called out to the robot who landed a few feet away and Eddy immediately came at him with speed not seen before as he punched it in the jaw and Eddy gave it another speed punch to the gut as it hunched over. Eddy repeatably punched the stomach area as he added fire to the punches wanting to make it pay for hurting his friend.
Eddy drew both fist back and made them blue fire as he went to make the final blow, and another surprise happened as it caught the fists and squeezed Eddy's wrist as Eddy cried out in pain and his fire went away as the robot let go letting the boy fall to his knees, only to knee Eddy's face and grab his head and knee him again making his nose break and start to bleed. It wasn't over as it punched Eddy into the ground and picked him up and kicking him in the chin up into the air as it too went up and punched Eddy in the gut making him spit out saliva and blood from his mouth as the wind was knocked out of him. The black and white robot drew his fist as it changed into a metal ball end and hit Eddy on the side sending him in the direction opposite of Ed but just as farther.
'' Your going to pay for that you son of bitch.'' Techlin whispered harshly as he ran to the robot who was still in the air. Tech jumped making his hand into a blade as slice down planning to cut it in half as it put his arms up in a cross to defend itself and the blade hit cutting through the 'skin' and launching it to the ground with a sounding boom as dust rose around it.
Not a second later it launched from the cloud and made a punch to Techlin's face as the boy covered himself in ice taking the punch which cracked his ice. The robot didn't see the metal fist coming his way as it connected with its head sending it in the forest. The brothers fell to the ground on their feet as they looked to where the enemy went to see if it was coming out.
'' Thanks Dante.'' Techlin said to his brother.
'' No problem only I can kick your ass and get away with it.'' Dante said turning to Techlin with a cocky smile.
'' In your dreams.'' Techlin said and before Dante could respond a white arm shot out underneath him taking him down into the earth before anyone could react.
Techlin and Edd looked around the area as to see where they went, but both didn't hear or see anything. Techlin looked down at the whole as he tried to see if he brother was down there and a second later he saw the same arm from before come out to grab him, but he grabbed it and pulled it up showing the same robot as he punched it straight in the face with an ice covered fist as he heard a crack and slammed it on the ground making ice appear around them as it became stuck to the ground.
'' Okay mister, where the hell is my brother before I take you apart.'' Techlin whispered to it as it stared back with its red 'eye's'.
'' Where is my fucking brother!'' Techlin asked quietly with his voice rising at the end. It remained silent. Techlin gritted his teeth in anger as it continued to stare at him.
'' That's it!'' Techlin shouted out as his hand formed into an ice mace with black spikes and covered in Chi making him stronger. Techlin swung down and suddenly its chest departed showing a red circle as it glowed brightly and the red light shot out its chest with Techlin taking the hit full on.
Double D covered his eyes as the light was too bright and he was surprise to see that something like that was so quiet it was almost like a hum. When Double D thought the light was gone uncovered the his eyes to see neither Techlin or the robot anywhere. The spot where they were was still covered in ice.
Edd's brain came to a thought that he didn't want to think. Sure the blast was strong indeed, but was it really enough to...kill. Just the thought of someone as strong as Techlin being taking out so easily frightened Double D. He knew for a fact that powers or not that Techlin was stronger than him and in a fight that he had a twenty percent chance of winning and he calculated his odds even with his new power ups he still didn't stand much a chance.
But what was horrible to him was that it was the same thing that took out all his friends so easily. Double D knew so as it had a small burnt mark left behind by Eddy and he saw it on him the whole time. The smart Ed broke into a sweat as he heard the trees rustling and shot an arrow in that direction.
He didn't hear what sounded like metal and that should have been the sound he heard if he hit something. He heard a rustling behind him and quickly turned to the direction and fired another arrow and he still didn't hear the sound he wanted. Edd started to shake as he got more scared. For once in his life he couldn't think of anything to get him out of this, he felt like crying as he was alone.
His friends was their for him for years and they had done nearly everything together. He was strong around them knowing that nothing could stop them. They were a shield that could take any blow, a tower that can never be knocked over, a tree that no fire could burn. But now? He was broken, now he was knocked over, and now he was burning.
' How can I be a Hero... if I can't even save my own best friends.' Edd thought depressingly as he lowered his bow. Not caring anymore.
He failed his friends. He failed his parents. He failed his peers and teachers. He failed the world. How can he continue? The robot that took everything away from him was right in front of him, with Double D not even noticing. Then the robot grabbed hold of his throat as he threw Double D to the ground.
Edd got up to receive a punch square in the face and flew across the field. But the assassin wouldn't allow it as it appeared over Edd and punched him in the stomach smashing him to the ground as he bounced from the impact and saliva came out but it showed no mercy as it kicked him on the back sending him to the air and followed after.
Edd was in pain as he swore a few ribs and his nose was broken as he felt the warm life essence come from his nostrils, and his left eye was started to swell as he looked up to the bright blue sky. Then the robot appeared before him with its fist drawn back and spinning at speeds only Eddy could keep up with and send its final blow to his gut sending him flying away at high speeds and the dot that was the robot disappeared as he got further and he started to fall til he hit the ground where he continued to slid on the dirt til he head hit a tree trunk and he finally lost consciousness.
With the Robot Assassin.
The robot silently landed on the ground and surveyed the area. He saw no other life forms that was a threat as it walked away silently, its programed objective finish: Analyze and copy the powers from the Chosen Ones. Light from Eddward Ryain. Heat from Eddy Fale. Magic and Elemental resistance from Edward Fike. Blade attachment from Techlin Gates. Metal density upgrade from Dante Gates.
Now it must report to its masters off the island on the island chain known as Hawaii.
With Vladimir in his Observation Room.
Vladimir watch the screens with interest as he followed the robotic entity that was able to easily take out five super powered children, though they were caught off guard Vladimir estimated that the fight took more than fifteen minutes. He was tempted to capture this robot and study it more as he could use it to capture the others more quickly. But he rather not risk it as it showed its power to him and knew that it would take more than a small army to take it down.
' No matter, it only scattered the boys across the island and none were spotted coming in the school's direction. Hopefully it would go before it starts to become a problem.' Vladimir thought as he turned off the cameras and got up and made his way out as he knew that they were alive even that ice kid though how injured he didn't know, but what he did now was that they were weaken and his soldiers could swoop down and take them.
Now life was good for him at this point. Though he wondered who would build something so advance, and wondered what that person would do with it in the future.
Chapter done and over! I repeat chapter done and over! Now was that a surprise!
I mean come on guys and gals lets get to the point that I just made a secret villain that made a robot that was able to take the five down so easily! I know some of you are saying 'What the Fuck!' but come on if you had really read my stories then you should had expected something like this happening to them.
The emotional scene was the part in Edd that he kept hidden. In the outside he seemed ready to face anything, but deep inside he felt that he couldn't be a hero and that side came up at the moment he realized that he can't save his friends. Well don't worry he might get better. I don't know, I haven't thought of the next chapter yet.
Sacatoomi!
