J and N Superstar Saga Chapter 15
Thunder and Fire
We come to N coming too as he gets up and looks around to see he was on an island of some kind alone.
"Huh? J! J! Where are you?!" N calls out but no response.
"Looks like that falls from Jirachi separated you both." V said on the phone.
"But she is close." Uzi said.
N looks and gasped in shock as he sees J just ahead of him buried to her shoulders in the sand dazed with two Krabby's by her side.
"Hey you two get away from her!" N said as he chases the Krabbys away. He looks to J "J! Are you okay?"
"Ugh….yeah just a bit dazed" J said shaking her head and then gets herself out of the sand "There we go!"
"Alright!" N said happily "So where are we?"
"Not sure….oh" J said and goes to a tape player "Maybe this has answers."
She hits play and a voice comes from the tape player saying "It has been a week since our Chao Civilization Research Expedition reached this island. We have named the mysterious creatures native to this island the Chao. It is strange…They use the same spoken vocabulary that we do, but none comprehend what they mean…" The tape ends
"Chao Island…well that is a problem, we have an ocean separating us" J said "While we got that water proog upgrade a while ago I am not seeing a clear way off this place."
"Why don't we explore the place and see what we can find" N said looking around and points to a central pillar with two holes in them, one looked to be a fire pit and another was a blue orb. "Like this."
"Hmmmm, might be important, let's search the Island." J said nodding and sees across from it was a yellow pipe but no way to cross "Maybe if we give this pillar what it wants it might forma bridge for us."
The two wal the island and see the Chao, the island inhabitants all relaxing and enjoying the sun. They soon come to a temple with a fire symbol on the top of it. They walks into it.
It was slightly dark but J and N made they way through the halls of the temple and come to a small hole. N makes J mini so she can jump through it and goes through the doorway. She comes to the central room with a stone slab standing and also cracked. Thinking on it J slices the slab destroying it.
The lights flicker and a light comes down and onto her returning her to normal size and her weapon changer fills it's light slot with a dull gem
A figure appears in front of her smiling it was a sun like being with a eyes and a mouth and two white gloved hand he was floating by an orb of fire. The figure smiles and said "Welcome! Yes, welcome! Welcome to the Fire Palace! I am Mr. Bright and I have been waiting for you. I have waited many long years, smouldering like embers. For you I have kept waiting…and waiting….and WAITING! In fact, the last time anyone came through here was….3000 years ago! Oh, waiting just burns me up! But enough about that…So, why have you come here?"
"Um…I am unsure what this temple offers." J said confused and thinking.
"Huh? You uh….this place…" Mr. Bright said and thinks "Umm…This place of power….It is, uh…This place is…" He looks around confused "Now, wait a second…Just what kind of place is this, anyway? What was it that I was planning on doing? Am I allowed in here? Huh? Wait a minute! Where am I? WHAT am I?"
"Really…you have no idea?" J asked sweat dropping.
"…Hm! I guess having no guests for 3000 years take a toll. Everything just seems to…slip one's mind!" Mr. Bright said and chuckles at that "Har diddy HAR! How humorous! So! I guess you can do what you want! I won't stop you!" He vanishes
J apporches the orb of fire and looks at the dull gem, it seems to react to the orb. She places her hands on it and yelps at out hot it was. She holds her hands up as light shines from the gem and it turns a fiary red with the fire emblem on it and fire appears in her hand.
Mr. Bright then appears again and said "Oh! Wait! I just remembered! This is the famed Fire Palace, where we teach the ways of the blistering Hand Power!" He looks and sees J with the fire in her hand "Yes…It is all coming back…I have been waiting for you. You want the Hand Power, right? You want to master the fiery Hand Power known as Firebrand, do you not? You do, right? Right? RIGHT? You do not need to tell me. Your pose says it all."
"Yeah, I do" J said turning the fire off and faces Mr. Bright "Please teach me."
Mr. Bright nods and said "I shall instruct you in the arts of Firebrand." He holds his hand out and a fireball and said "Concentrate on the fire in your hand charging it with enough energy then release it!" He goes and the fire was a huge ball "Only then shall you shoot forth a might blast of flame! Perhaps you should try it once!"
"Right." J said and concentrates and forms a fireball in her hand and releases it to make a bit one "Yes! I've mastered it!" She cheers
"I see no problem in your skill" Mr. Bright said nodding "If you just do this action near something flammable, you should have no problems! Surely this new skill will open new paths in your life! Wouldn't you agree? So…FAREWELL!"
"I should go and inform N." J said and heads to an exit different from where she came in. She sees a closed gate and near but a piller for a fire spot similar to the one on the central piller. She uses her new power and it opens the gate
"J of thank robot god you're safe" N said relieved seeing her "What happened?"
"Oh, nothing much just this" J said and shows her new fire abilities.
"Woah…cool!" N said smiling
"My guess is, there is another temple for that blue orb with a different power, let's go find it for you." J said thinking.
"Sounds like a plan" N said smiling and they exit the temple
They do find the other temple with the lighting bolt emblem next to the fire one and go in and the layout was mostly the same except for a gate blocking one doorway with soft ground for flooring. J sends N into the underground and he moves under the gate and he jumps out and enter the central area.
Like J he sees a large cracked slab and like J, N figures to destroy it and does so. Like before the lights flicker then lighting shoots down from the ceiling scaring N who sees the dull gem appear on his weapon hand changer. When doon N sees in front of a blue Orb filled with lightning was a yellow cresent moon figure with white feet and cloved hands.
"To you who have wandered into Thunder Palace…I am Mr. Shine and these are the training grounds for the chosen few." The moon figure said "I know not how you found your way here, nor how you managed to enter this place…But I have no business with you…and you have none with me. Depart, posthaste." He then vanishes.
N looks at the blue orb and approaches his gem reacts to it and he places his hand on it and he is electrocuted as the gem truns blue with the lighting symbol on it. N looks in his hand as a blue lightning ball appeas in it.
Mr. Shine appears again angry and said "CRRRACKITTY! Wh-Who dares touch the great Thunderhead spark?! Impudent fool!" He then looks at N and surprised said "…And yet…You have touched the great Thunderhand spark, but still stand before me, so…" He thinks for a moment "…Perhaps you have the qualities needed to master the galvanic Thunderhand technique…Alright I shall teach you in the art of Thunderhand."
"Oh yes please do" N said goes to Mr. Shine.
"First focus your energy into creating a ball of lighting…" Mr. Shine explained and forms a small blue ball of electricity in his hand "The release it!" He does so and it pops and forms a static like ball of energy. "Only then shall you release a burst of thunder and lightning. Perhaps you should try it once."
N nods and does so focusing energy into his hand and forms the ball of lightning for Mr. Shine. "Yeah! I did it!" N cheered.
"Hmm! Very well done…" Mr. Shine said nodding. "It is wise to use this power when an apparent conductor of electricity is nearby. You have done! It is done! You have released me!" He then vanishes.
N then heads down to reuninite with J going though a doorway she didn't come from and finds a blue orb like on the central tower. Using his new thunder powers he charges the orb and the gate opens.
"So what power did you get?" J asked him
"It's called Thunder but looks like electricity" N told her showing it
"Good least go back to that pillar and try using our powers on it." J suggest
They make it back and J uses her fire power in the fire spot and N thunder on the thunder spot. With both lit up a stone bridge rises from the water allowing them to cross and into the pipe.
"So what is next J?" N asked her.
"Well Salem as far as we know is temporary dealt with but as I recall seeing Jirachi separate into four soul parts." J said thinking "I see we best head back to Dreamland castle and report in until we know what next step."
"Sounds like a plan" N said nodding
The two drones enter the pipe. They use their new abilities to help them travel the Seabed and also dealt with enemies like figures in scuba suits known as Water Workers where they learned they can use their Hand Powers to help them in combat as well. They also tackled pink and blue jellyfish like Pokemon familiar to them known as Frillish. However, the two found the pipe back to the surface.
"That was a chore" N said finally able to properly speak, they couldn't really talk underwater much so they were silent though most of their trip "But…I hope Vrak is okay."
"Yeah, I hope he recovers his memory soon" J said nodding
The two begin climbing the pipe
Speaking of Vrak we come to him lying unconscious in Stardust Fields near the border. A figure limps over to him, it was Cyn a bit damaged from her own flight here, she still had the helmet on containing Salem's soul however it too was damaged so the stability of the witch's soul was weakening.
"Curious look….G…Great…Salem…will this person do?" Cyn asked
"Any…Anyone will do now…Hurry…. Quickly…" Salem ordered.
Cyn uses her helmet to release the soul and it goes into Vrak and he cries out clutching his head as his body begins to change as Salem's soul begins to take over his body.
Well J and N have now powers but seems Salem isn't down and out yet as she takes over Vrak's body, let's see what will happen next
