Chapter 17
Gwen, Elliot and Dawn made sure no one noticed any changes when Gwen dispelled the Dimension Seal Method. They all knew that none of them put up the Dimension Seal but if it hadn't appeared mummies would have been seen on live television across the world. If the Avatar of Nebula was trying to hide they did a poor job because they now knew the Avatar was on the show with them. But still, why would they put up a Dimension Seal alerting the three Avatars to an attack?
"Could you at least give singing a chance?"
Gwen shook her head and concentrated back on the show.
"I told you, Duncans do not sing!" Duncan growled.
"It's not a big deal! And if you don't sing you lose!" Courtney shouted.
"Hey, I still have my million, like I care!"
"You are impossible! You are never motivated when it's important!" Courtney growled.
"I can be motivated...when it counts." Duncan smirked at her but it only made her even more angry.
"Will both of you shut up so we can go now?!" Heather spoke up.
"What crawled up her back side and died?" Elliot whispered.
"Elliot!" Dawn said, reprimanding her.
"Relax Dawn and to answer your question Elly, she's the Queen of Poison so everything she touches dies." Gwen smirked.
Before Heather could reply back with another snarky comment Chris interrupted them as he relaxed by sitting on an intern's back.
"Man it's hot out here! Good thing I came prepared!" Chris pulled out some grapes. "Anyways, I call this challenge the Amazing Camel Race!"
"Forget your glasses at home! There's only one camel!" Elliot said.
"Exactly, that's why it's called the Camel Race and not 'Camels' Race." Chris replied.
"Yes!" Heather smirked.
"What?!" Alejandro shouted while the goat in his arms said 'baa!'
"We won last time so how come they get a camel," She pointed and Team Amazon and then at Team C. "They got a goat and we got a stick!"
"Each reward has its own advantage, trust me. You'll be racing to the infamous river known as the Nile! Teams must bring their reward to the finish to win the challenge. You all have two minutes to come up with a strategy."
Chris left all three teams to strategize while he went to get a bottle of fresh cold water.
"Move it, people! This is a race." Heather got onto the camel
"Uh, hello? It's "Team Amazon." Not "Dictatorship Amazon!" Courtney scowled.
Nevertheless each member of the team got onto the camel's back.
Izzy climbed on its neck and made strange noises. "I just introduced myself in camel-ese!"
"I don't know, Izzy. The camel's aura suggests that it is mildly annoyed at having to carry us and the very annoying girl who grabbed her mouth." Dawn spoke up.
"Really? Wow, you're good!" Izzy smiled at the girl who was sitting behind Gwen. "Do you know how to speak camel?"
Cody tried to get a seat between Gwen and Izzy while flashing her a smile.
"Hey...fancy meeting you here. You up for a slushie later?"
"Oh hi, Cody." Gwen said, mentally sighing as the boy was trying to flirt with her again. "I never got to say this before but thanks for setting me up with Trent back at Wawanakwa."
Even if she found him annoying because of his crush she still had to be grateful for doing what he did. It showed he was a mature and very kind.
"Nice, right? But now that he's gon-"Gwen put her hand on Cody's mouth to stop him.
"I don't think this is a good time for that. We are in the middle of a challenge." Gwen said nicely but with a firm tone. "Plus there's no room between me and Izzy here unless you want to make it very heavy for the camel's neck."
Cody had a small hurtful look on his face but he back down and tried to get on the camel's back. Elliot helped him up and he was now behind her and in front of Courtney. Duncan sat behind her and in front of Heather on the far back of the camel.
Xxx
Confessional: Cody
"I'll win her over eventually; it's just a matter of time. And persistence. And humiliation. And I was born to be humiliated."
Xx
"Time's up! Now get going and be careful! Oh and be sure to watch out for the scarab beetles, it's mating season and they tend to get all...kill-y when they are in heat."
"Kill-y? You know there is such a place where you can learn to speak English, right? I think they call it...uh...oh yeah, a school!" Elliot laughed.
"Burn!" Noah snickered.
Nearly everyone shared a laugh at Elliot's joke but Chris had a small scowl.
"Ignoring that be sure to watch out the beetles. We're not eligible to compensate your families if you die."
"Good thing none of them are out here then." LeShawna smiled.
"Is she for real?" Elliot whispered to her team.
"I'll tell them you said that." Chris said as Chef knocked over a giant jar containing...
"Gwenny, how could your friend act so stupid?" Elliot asked as thousands of scarab beetles began crawling towards them.
DING!
"Oh, come on!" Duncan threw his arms up in the air.
"Try not to get disqualified if you live, Duncan." Chris laughed. "Sing a very good song and they might not kill you."
"LeShawna you owe everyone if we make it out alive." Gwen threw a glare at her friend.
"I'm not singing!" Duncan crossed his arms.
"Then don't! Just sing back-up!" Elliot replied. "Give it a rest already!"
Alejandro: No need to get crazy. It's lovin' time at last!
Cody, Noah, Tyler, DJ, and Alejandro: You don't wanna eat us up.
Owen: We're mostly full of gas. No, no!
Gwen, Courtney, Dawn, Elliot and Heather: It's mating time for scarabs.
Leshawna: So, what'cha waiting on?
Izzy: Just ignore us humans!
Cody: Oooooh.
All (except Ezekiel): And make out till the break of dawn!
Alejandro and Cody: It's lovin' time.
Gwen, Courtney, and Heather: Lovin' time, lovin' time...
Alejandro: Scarab mating season.
Alejandro and Cody: It's lovin' time
Gwen, Courtney, Dawn, Elliot and Heather: Lovin' time, lovin' time...
Alejandro: Scarabs, get busy now...
Harold: It's lovin' time.
Gwen, Courtney, Dawn, Elliot and Heather: Lovin' time, lovin' time...
All (except Ezekiel, Gwen, Courtney and Heather): Scarab mating season.
Cody and Duncan: It's lovin' time.
Gwen, Courtney, Dawn, Elliot and Heather: Lovin' time, lovin' time...
All (except Ezekiel, Gwen, Courtney, Dawn, Elliot and Heather): Scarab mating season!
Ezekiel: Seasonal, eh!? Whoa, no wait!
The scarabs had put into a love trance by the song but thanks to Ezekiel they snapped out of it and started chasing the contestants.
"Nice, one! GO!" Chris laughed and sounded an air horn.
All three teams took off as fast as they could with scarab beetles hot on their tail and the determination to win the race.
"Faster! Faster! C'mon!" Courtney shouted at the camel.
"Courtney that is not how you motivate a camel to move." Dawn spoke up.
"She's right; this how you tell a camel to move. Ahem, MOVE IT!" Heather shouted.
"Let me try! Ugh! Ugh!" Izzy grabbed the camel's face again.
"Izzy, the camel doesn't understand a word you are saying and seems very annoyed by all the shouting." Dawn said. "Stop the camel."
"What?" Courtney, Heather, and Duncan said at the same time.
"Got it!" Gwen got off and ran in front of the camel.
She held up her hands and the camel stopped. Dawn slipped off the camel's back and walked up to the front.
"Hello, sorry for all the shouting back there. It's been a long day for everyone." Dawn reached out and patted it on the head, earning a satisfied sound from the camel. "If it's not so much trouble could you direct us to any river that might be nearby?"
The camel made a replying grunt and lowered itself to let Gwen and Dawn back onto its back.
"Thank you." Dawn replied gratefully as she got back on.
"How did you do that?" Izzy asked. "Camels don't speak English!"
"They don't have to speak English to understand me." Dawn replied.
The camel was moving towards the Nile River and they even passed Team C on the way.
"Going to win the race now, see ya!" Heather blew a raspberry at them.
"Eat sand losers!" Courtney joined in.
"Such witty remarks from such fiercely intelligent woman. I'm both humbled and intrigued." Alejandro smirked.
"Nice try, but I'm with Duncan." Courtney scoffed and leaned back into Duncan's chest.
"And what a pity it is that you should give yourself to a petty little lowlife who refuses to share his million dollars or make an effort with the relationship."
"Excuse me, I'm right here." Duncan glared.
"Please, calm down little boy. The grownups are speaking." Alejandro replied.
Duncan's glare intensified. "Like to see you speak without any teeth."
"There it is!" Heather pointed ahead to the...
The Nile River.
They were the first to arrive with Team C right behind them.
"Hey, where are the boats?" Elliot asked.
"CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE THE FIRST TWO TEAMS TO MAKE IT TO THE THIRD PART OF THE CHALLENGE, BASKET WEAVING!" Chris announced. "EACH TEAM HAS TO WEAVE A BOAT FROM THE RIVER WEEDS TO TRANSPORT THEM AND THEIR AWARD TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RIVER."
"Well we're screwed." Gwen sighed as she got off.
"Why is that? We're the first here!" Heather hopped off the camel.
"Do you really think we can weave a boat that can not only hold us but the camel too? Do any of you have any experience in weaving a boat?" Gwen shrugged.
"All right!" Team Amazon looked to see Sierra skipping happily. "I am like a fourth generation basket weaver!"
She started getting to work and to the surprise of everyone she was making boat out of weeds very fast.
'That was unexpected.' Andromeda mentally commented and Gwen agreed.
"Come on! We need to catch up!" Heather shouted. "Someone do something!"
"I can try." Courtney grabbed some weeds and started to get to work but she was horribly slow and almost everyone could see she has no idea what she is going.
"Oh my, you were all doing so well before." Alejandro commented, sounding almost sincerely sad about Team Amazon falling behind.
"Sorry, Cody!" Sierra waved at him.
Heather stared at the fan girl and got an idea.
"Oh, Sierra it must be sad that you have to help your team win and leave the team that Cody is on in the dust."
"Plus you've got Owen on your team, lucky!" Izzy commented.
"But you have Cody!"She looked at Cody."I know, Cody. I wish we were on the same team too!"
"I have to... do something." Cody turned and ran off.
"Aww, you guys are so cute together." Izzy cooed.
"Maybe we could swap teams!" Sierra suggested.
"Where's Chris?! He won't allow this..." Alejandro spoke, not wanting to lose his ace in the hole.
"Excuse me, did somebody-"Chris came across the Nile in a speedboat.
"Today is officially the best day of my life. So I really hope you allow us to swap. But, of course, you'll make the best decision because you're the best decider ever." Sierra spoke up, hoping that sucking up to Chris would make him agree.
She wasn't wrong. "And that's why I'm going to allow it."
"Smiley face!" Sierra squealed.
Heather smirked as the two switched teams and Sierra got to work on Team Amazon's boat. Gwen was watching Sierra work but she noticed Alejandro blowing a kiss at Heather who reacted in shock and anger.
'A repeat of how Duncan and Courtney got together?' Gwen thought.
'Possibly or those two will end up hating each other's guts for all eternity.' Andromeda replied.
Team Victory finally arrived and they frantically started working to catch up with everyone else. Sierra was actually the first to finish because of her skills and she made it strong enough to support the camel. Duncan and Cody pushed against the camel to get it on the boat but it barely moved an inch.
"Come on, let's go!" Courtney shouted.
"Trying here, princess!" Duncan shouted back as he kept on pushing.
The camel groaned and sat down...on Duncan and Cody earning groans of pain from both of them. Dawn walked over to the camel.
"Excuse me, Ruby but could you please follow us onto the boat. We'll let you have a nice drink of water on the other side."
The camel seemed to shrug and got off the two male members of Team Amazon and got onto the boat.
"Ruby?" Gwen asked.
"It's a girl camel. You can tell by looking at it." Dawn shrugged.
"I'll take your word for it."
The time it had taken for Team Amazon to get the camel onto their boat the other two teams had finished their boats and were already racing across the river. That was when a familiar sound was heard.
DING!
"Oh come on!" Duncan growled. "We already sang!"
"Time for a musical reprise!" Chris said, earning groans and moans from the contestants. "Hey, don't whine to me about it. If Zeke hadn't blown it you wouldn't have to be singing. And you, Duncan, you managed to weasel your way out with the back-up singing, not this time."
"Eat dirt, McLane!" Duncan growled.
"Actually, it might be the gators eating you." Chris laughed. "Now get on with it!"
Alejandro: Mm, mmm. Crocodile amigos, what'cha swarmin' for?
Courtney: We don't mean to bug you!
Gwen: Please let us reach the shore!
Camel: (honks twice)
Lindsay: These crocs are getting killy!
Harold: Just bop 'em on the nose! I learned that in Muskrat Boys, it vanquishes all foes!
Ezekiel tried that but the crocodile ate the stick. "No!"
Alejandro: It's rowin' time!
Everyone else except Duncan: Vanquishin'! Vanquishin'!
Everyone except Duncan : Crocodile season!
DJ: It's rowin' time!
Everyone else: Crocodiles! Crocodiles!
DJ: Tell me I'm not sinkin'!
Cody: Yeah, it's rowin' time!
Everyone else except Duncan: Sinkin' in, sinkin' in!
Everyone except Duncan: Crocodile season!
Alejandro: It's rowin' time!
Everyone else except Duncan: Rowin' time! Rowin' time!
Team Amazon hit the shore, followed by Team C and Team Victory arriving last.
Sierra: Til the Amazons...
Team Amazon: Wiiiiiiiiiin! Yeah!
"Congrats, you're all alive." Chris clapped his hands. "But...Team Amazon unfortunately is disqualified!"
"WHAT?!" Courtney, Heather, Elliot, and Sierra exclaimed.
"But we won!" Courtney shouted.
"You would have won if your rich boyfriend joined in the singing. But he didn't and as a result Team Amazon loses the challenge." Chris laughed. "Nice job, Duncan."
"You!" Heather turned and glared Duncan who shrugged it off. "You cost us a chance to relax in first class all because you don't like singing AFTER EVERYTHING WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH! GOING THROUGH THAT STUPID PYRAMID, GETTING CHASED BY SCARAB BEETLES, NEARLY GETTING EATEN BY CROCODILES ALL FOR NOTHING!"
To his credit, Duncan did not flinch when Heather shouted right in his face and actually lifted him off of the ground by his shirt collar.
"Daaaaamn." Alejandro whistled as Duncan was shaken back and forth by the girl...until Courtney marched over and slapped Heather so hard that she dropped Duncan.
"Hands. Off." Courtney growled. "...only I get to do that!" She then did what Heather did, once again lifting the punk by his shirt and shaking him. "YOU COST US FIRST CLASS!"
"These are our teammates?" Elliot whispered to Gwen.
"Sorry about this. I've only been teamed up with Heather in the last couple of season but Heather and Courtney is going to be a handful." Gwen whispered back.
"Why Duncan?! The one time I depend on you and you screw it up!" Courtney kept shaking her boyfriend who growled back at her.
"One time? One time?! I have been listening to you screeching in the sunlight with the pony butcher for the whole day, having to put up with the mop headed host ("Watch it!" Chris shouted) trying to force me to sing out loud on live TV and you're still harping on me how I let you down!" Duncan stomped towards the plane. "Go ahead and vote me off! I don't care anymore; let someone else deal with you!"
Courtney gasped her look of anger replaced by a look of shock.
"Wow...This is GREAT! The drama is going to be great for ratings!" Chris laughed. "Too bad we lost one of our famous couples."
"We're not broken up! We're just...going through a tough phase." Courtney stuttered.
"Whatever you say. Now Team Victory, you managed to sing with everyone on it and if you brought your reward you win second place." Chris looked to the other team.
Team Victory cheered but Ezekiel was oddly silent.
"So...where's the stick?" Chris asked.
Ezekiel gulped as everyone looked at him and started to stutter. "W-we-well..."
"Wow, luckily though with Duncan losing the challenge for Team Amazon you won't be kicked off." Chris laughed.
Team Victory glared at Ezekiel, even DJ and Lindsay were mad at him. Ezekiel rubbed his sheepishly as he gulped from the glares. It didn't take a genius to realize Ezekiel had just barely managed to get out of being eliminated again.
"Both loser teams have survived without losing one of their members. Will they bounce back next time or will Chris Me SOOOOOOO Hot win again? Find out next time on TOTAL! DRAMA! WORLD TOOOUUUURRRR!" He sang the last part.
With the show done everyone headed back into the plane with Team C enjoying the luxurious First Class while the other two teams were stuck in Economy Class.
Xxx
"How could he do this to me?! His attitude it making it impossible for me to manage this team!" Courtney started fussing.
"You? Manage this team? Ha!" Heather stood up. "No wonder your loser boyfriend dumped you."
"He didn't dump me! We're just having a disagreement!"
"Oh no." Gwen groaned as they started to argue.
She might have shouted at them to shut up and get into another fight with both girls but Andromeda had taught her to keep her emotions in check but she had to fight the urge to kick both of them off the plane. When the episode ended Gwen quickly used her Omni Glove to draw the Dimension Seal and activated the Method. The Economy class went blue along with all the occupants who were now frozen in time except for her, Dawn and Elliot.
"Finally! I was about to clobber those two!" Elliot sighed in relief.
"Are they always this...argumentative?" Dawn asked.
"They are both bad when it's just one of them on a single team but together...This team won't last half the season." Gwen sighed. "Okay, so what are of anyone on our team being the Avatar of Nebula?"
"Hard to tell, Nebula would prefer to stealthy especially on a surrounded by a small number of humans so he can mark them." Dawn replied. "If Nebula is addicted to life energy as any other spirit he wouldn't want to be stranded with a low number of people to blind in like where we were in Egypt."
"I guess so. I can't believe Duncan almost got kicked off like that." Gwen sighed. "He usually gets so far."
"Aw, would Gwenny miss Duncan?" Elliot teased her. "Does that mean you...?"
"Not try Elliot, but I don't think so. Duncan and I became good friends last season and he did comfort me when I broke up with Trent. I might have had some feelings because of that...but when I talked it over with Andromeda she helped me understand that was because I might be on the rebound."
"I have had three avatars before Gwen and they were all female going through the same things she did." Andromeda sighed. "Makes me feel like I was their parent as I think about it."
"Try dealing with this little spit fire." Lancelot commented, earning a giggle from his Avatar. "This one doesn't attract trouble for everyone, she literally brings it."
"I know, she told me everything." Gwen smirked as Elliot laughed.
"I guess we're the adults here, child." Luna sighed.
"I know, but their happy auras make me smile." Dawn sat on the floor cross legged. "But that weird goop in the corner is really testing me with that smell it leaves."
"I'm on it." The three girls looked up as a familiar face walked past them, not at all frozen by the method.
"Jimmy?!" They all shouted as he got out his mop.
"Yo," He nodded. "One second, I'm actually doing a job where they actually pay me now! They never paid me at my school because they thought it was MY fault that the former janitor got his hands on that bottle." He pointed the mop at Gwen. "And you will suffer for what you caused me to go through, you know."
"Gee, sorry, but I wasn't about to let you into my house." Gwen crossed her arms and frowned. "Let Kurt and Carlos deal with it!"
"I nearly got my arm cut off!" Jimmy growled. "Carlos gave me a hug while he was sharpening a freaking axe!"
"...wow, that was more eventful than the time he slept at Bobby's house," Elliot giggled. "Poor guy chased him off with a shotgun in the middle of the night...and he has plenty of rattlesnakes around his house."
"Why are you here?" Gwen groaned.
"Because I needed a job, and the other Avatars wanted me here to back you up! Duh!" Jimmy said, cleaning up the mess of the economy class. "That, and Kurt wanted me to deliver you this," He tossed her a book. "It's a list of things he was gonna train you for, but now he wants you to train for them yourself since he can't be in two places at once."
"Oh, joy." Gwen slid the book into her backpack. "So you cast the Dimension Seal Method back at the pyramid?"
"Not me, bubblegum. I thought you guys did that." Jimmy shrugged.
"But we didn't and just as the Method was cast mummies came out of the pyramid and attacked us." Dawn explained. "If you didn't cast the Method than who did?"
"What about Carlos?" Gwen asked.
"Oh, you'll know if Carlos is here." Jimmy shuddered. "Because if this plane lands where he is, I am outta here!"
"...where are we landing next?" Elliot asked.
"I don't know, I'm a janitor!" Jimmy shrugged. "Got better things to do: clean the messes pass around the drinks-"
"Alcohol's illegal on this show, Jimmy." Dawn pointed out.
"...and here I thought Chris wasn't a kill joy." Jimmy muttered as he finished cleaning up the Mystery Goop. "Anyways, Gwen, that book along with me, Dawn, and Elliot are here to help you track down Nebula and to do that you need learn how to handle more than ten percent of Andromeda's power."
"Oh right." Dawn turned to Gwen. "One of the reasons why me and Elliot were picked to come with you, not just because you met us before but because we've learned how to handle our spirit's powers but mostly because we found an easier way. Andromeda was teaching you how to physically defend yourself and how to use her power to increase your speed and strength."
"Yeah, she had me going through physical exercises until I was exhausted for the whole first year she started training me. I'd probably be good for the Olympics thanks to her." Gwen replied. "It wasn't until my fourth year she started to train me in how to summon and use her powers."
"Well, to be honest Andromeda is above Luna and Lancelot in terms of power, perhaps rivalling spirits like Merlin, Warhawk and a few others that I can think of. The stronger the spirit the long it takes for an Avatar to fully master its powers. Lancelot gave me a shortcut to using his powers, like summoning that big sword when those mummies attacked." Elliot started explaining. "Those weapons are constructs designed to hold and unleash the spirit's powers in the form of an attack that quickly wipes out any enemy quickly. It's easier than trying to contain the power inside your body. If you took in more power than you can handle than your life energy would in danger of being extinguished until your body has fully adapted to the spirit's power."
"Spirit Energy essentially does to a human what Life Energy does to a spirit, increasing their abilities drastically depending on how power is given and combined with our life energy the spirit's power is enhanced through us, one of the reasons Spirit Avatars have been so effective since they were created." Dawn spoke up. "Thanks to Luna I have learned how to fully access her powers, I'm even able to use her strongest ability which you saw me use against the mummies, Shining Judgement."
"It destroys all negative Methods and weakens any spirit with dark intentions when touched by the light." Luna spoke up. "I may be a pacifist but I know how to protect my Avatar and her friends along with the Earth."
"So how am I supposed to contain Andromeda's power outside of my body?" Gwen asked. "I already have a weapon."
"There are other vessels that you could create to hold some of Andromeda's power for you," Elliot proposed. "The sword Lancelot has me summon is not like your katana. It was not forged, but shaped by spirit energy and was designed right from the get go for me to carry it no matter how big it is. Your katana was forged by regular hands, and I'm guessing that Andromeda gave it to you when you started becoming more active in your training."
"Yeah, she said it belonged to another one of her Avatars," Gwen nodded.
"And that Avatar probably put a lot of effort into making sure the metal could withstand methods." Dawn added. "Regular weapons can be modified over time by adding more methods to them or using them in combination with a method. So that sword, having been used for hundreds if not thousands of methods would probably be able to use powerful methods without shattering or dulling. You've noticed that it does not chip away or get dull at the edge as much as a regular blade, yes?"
"Yeah, it just fixes itself over time," Gwen nodded.
"Long lasting methods," Dawn explained, returning Gwen's gesture. "The avatar obviously intended for the weapon to be passed on, and for these methods to gather power over time. But despite that, this weapon cannot contain Andromeda's sheer power because it was never designed to do so. But it can channel it in brief uses rather than constantly holding the power. You could use Andromeda's energy to increase the power of methods you use and force the energy through the blade. This would modify the method, seeing as it would have to adjust to fit the use of a sword. So...a spectral volt would likely give your weapon a brief chance to use lightning in its next attack."
"Wow...that would have helped me out so many times," Gwen thought of slicing through a demon with a sword covered in electricity. "Would that help me to contain more of Andromeda's power?"
"It wouldn't be exactly as fast as what I use," Elliot shrugged. "But it's faster than the regular method of training."
"...and what if I just blast my sword apart trying to make it shoot fire?" Gwen asked.
Dawn and Elliot exchanged a glance and then nervously muttered out their own responses. Gwen sighed. "Well that's just great."
"But think about it Gwen. Eventually you could even be able to physically alter your form," Elliot said. "That is when an Avatar is best able to wield their spirit's powers, taking their essence into their body and resembling their spirit's true form in a way."
"Wait...Carlos did that when I fought him!" Gwen realized. "So that lunatic actually managed to get that far?"
"We were all surprised by that, actually." Dawn nodded.
"Guy was barely three years in when he waltzed into a meeting right after training," Jimmy said. "Actually forgot that he looked like some messed up demon hound. It was a riot until he actually started talking to me." He shuddered. "Don't shake his hand in that form, it'll burn your arm off."
"...noted." Gwen said. "How did Carlos channel Warhawk's power?"
"That's a question you may have to ask him, as even we don't know how he managed to do it so quickly." Dawn shook her head. "We asked, but his response was..."
"He said that it wasn't our business," Elliot cut in quickly. "Let's leave it at that. But Vanessa keeps thinking that he and Warhawk contacted a demon to help them...personally I think the guy's just really determined."
"Which is what you are as well, Gwen." Andromeda spoke up. "My signature Method can assist you in that."
"Really?" Gwen looked down at her necklace.
"Yes, I designed it myself to channel my power into objects to hold my power rather than leaving my Avatar to hold it inside their body. Like what Elliot does with her Summoning Method this one creates something to hold my power but mine is a Creation Method and can create multiple objects in the form of stars. This is what gave me my title." Andromeda explained. "I call this Method Galaxy Storm because of how destructive it can be. A single star fully charged is equivalent to...quite a bit of dynamite to put it simply."
"Knowing you it must be something really powerful." Gwen smirked.
"My first Avatar used it to wipe out an army of demons when she was caught in a trap. They foolishly thought they could defeat her with numbers." Andromeda scoffed. "Unfortunately she never used it again, as it caused damage to a nearby settlement. It was the first time I had seen my Method being used by a mortal...and I understood her concern all too well. Other spirits such as Warhawk gladly teach their avatar how to use their personal Method early on, but at least have the sense to do it far from civilization and not to leave evidence."
"You believe its bad idea to teach me it?" Gwen asked.
"No, I trust you along with my previous Avatars I just want you to promise that you ever have to use make sure it is a last resort."
"Deal, I'm not into blowing things up unless I have to as well." Gwen nodded. "Well, but is it a good idea to train on the plane?"
"The good news about the Dimension Seal Method is that allows us to use portal methods while it is cast." Jimmy smirked. "You could go all the back home and back here and not a single second would past in the living world."
"And I know of several places perfect for training." Dawn spoke up.
"So, unlimited time of training?" Gwen smirked. "I thought this season would be a drag."
"What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Elliot exclaimed.
