Érzi and MK were hanging out on Sandy's boat, playing a Monkey King themed card game of Uno. Mo slept on Érzi's lap, unbothered by the duo playing their game.
"HA! UNO!" Érzi says gleefully, waving his one card in the air triumphantly. MK sighs in defeat, looking at the five cards in his hands. "Man, losing to a twelve year old... good thing I have an extra trick up my sleeve. BAM!" He slams down a skip card, then another and another. Érzi's giddy smirk falls as MK places all his cards down, finally slamming the last one down: a 4. "GREEN!"
The ginger boy looks down at his blue 4 in dismay as MK cheers. "HAHA! YES! I WIN!"
Érzi scowls, throwing his card and crossing his arms. "Screw you MK!"
Sandy, coming up on the deck of his boat upon hearing the commotion, walks over to Érzi and gives him a reassuring pat on his head. "Aw come on little buddy! Don't use that kind of language. I know it sucks to lose but you have to remember to be a good sport, alright?"
Érzi huffs but nods. "Okay..."
"That's the spirit! Now! It's time to teach you boys the most important lesson of them all!" he declares, pulling out a bunch of ingredients. "How to make sleepy-time tea! Even if you don't drink it, it wouldn't hurt to know how to make some for a friend or family member!"
MK and Érzi jump to their feet, ready to make some tea. MK punches the air enthusiastically, causing the younger boy to cackle and follow his lead as Sandy keeps talking. "Follow my instructions exactly! And you'll make the BEST sleepy-time tea you've ever had!"
The two boys work together to make the tea, following Sandy's instructions. However, MK wasn't quite listening to Sandy's words when it came to the sleepy-time tea leaves, and instead of putting a pinch of the leaves in the tea, he ends up pouring two whole boxes in. Érzi wasn't paying attention to how much MK put in either, already getting the cup ready to give it to Sandy.
"Serve in your cutest, favouritist tea cup and enjoy" Sandy grins, looking down at the tea proudly. "Thanks, little mans!" He takes a sip, pausing as he notices how strong it tasted. "You DID add just a pinch, right...?"
"Eh, what's that Sandy?" MK asks as Sandy collapses, fast asleep and he starts to snore. Érzi's eyes widen in panic when Sandy falls over. "OH MY GREAT SAGE DID WE JUST KILL HIM?!" he yells, standing over the gentle blue giant in a panic. MK chuckles, giving Sandy a pat as he places a sleepy Mo on top of him. "Aw the big guy must've tuckered himself out! Don't worry, we're gonna keep him safe!" MK states, as a golden portal forms above him and Sandy. "Nothin' bads gonna happen- not on my watch!"
"Um- MK? What's that?" Érzi asks, pointing to the portal. MK looks up, and Mo lets out a terrified meow and runs away as a large wooden box wrapped in chains falls through the portal. It lands on Sandy before bouncing off, landing in front of Érzi. MK gasps, recognising who sent the package through the portal. "HO HO! I super special package from Monkey King?! Oh this day just got a whole lot more interesting." MK snickers to himself, as Érzi approaches and taps the box curiously. "What's inside? Some sort of cool and dangerous artifact?!"
"Only one way to find out!" MK pulls out a crowbar, and tries to pry the thing open. " Just gotta- open-" he manages to pry it open an inch when something flies out of the open space and hits him in the face. He pulls it off, realising it's a letter from Monkey King. "For MK? Hey! That's me!"
He starts to read it."Dear MK, as you know I'm super busy on vacation. I've got a special delivery, but i won't be able to get to it for a while. You must not open it, no matter what, it's bad news..."
Érzi groans, laying on top of the box. "But I wanna know what's insiiiide! The suspense is killing me!"
"There's more." MK continues. "But, I know there's no way you're gonna listen to that, so I've also sent you a training blindfold. You must wear this blindfold all day. Only when you truly learn to listen can you take it off."
Érzi look around, finding a golden cloth that appears to be a blindfold. He holds it up to MK, who takes it with glee. "My next power! SUPER HEARING!" MK exclaims, putting it on without hesitation. "I can hear everything!"
"Can I try?"
Before MK could let Érzi have a turn, the two boys heard Mei screaming in despair. MK gasps, grabbing Érzi's wrist. "That sounded like someone in trouble! I better go help!" With a spin of his staff he launches into the air, dragging Érzi behind him but leaving poor Sandy and Mo alone with the now opened box.
"WHYYYYY?!" Mei sobbed in despair, kneeling on the ground in front of Pigsy and the delivery woman. Chen stood next to her, his arm crossed as he surveyed the situation. "Oh boy..."
MK and Érzi crash land behind the duo, surprising them. Upon turning around, Chen spots MK crawling on the ground with a blindfold on while Érzi merely brushes the dirt off his clothes, ignoring the new scrapes and cuts on his knees, hands and face. "Did- did you just fly here blindfolded-"
"MK! YOU HAVE TO PUT A STOP TO THIS!" Mei yells, running over to MK and spinning the blind boy to face the problem. "CHEN'S NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT!"
"Hey I'm not the one who didn't do his job." Chen says defensively, crossing his arms. Pigsy, upon noticing MK's presence, stomps over to him. "MK! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! This really is the final straw MK!"
Chen sighs as Pigsy continues to scold MK, going over to Érzi. "That was a rough landing buddy- you're not hurt too much are ya? I don't want to take you back home with a fractured skull or something." he asks, ruffling the boys hair. Érzi pushes his hand away. "Hey quit it! I'm fine!"
"If you say so. I gotta do some deliveries. Did you wanna come with me, or did you want to, uh... stay here with these guys?" Chen asks, gesturing behind him to MK and Mei sobbing as their game was taken away. Érzi's face scrunches up at the display. "I think I'll go with you today..."
"Alright! Then let's get going before Pigsy thinks I'm dawdling too much." Érzi snickers, quickly following Chen to his tuk-tuk and hopping inside. Making sure the boy had his seatbelt on they were off.
Jade sat in the middle of the main room of the dojo, absorbed in the last chapter of Rey's book. They were supposed to be meditating, where his link with his partner was strongest, but with his Lady and his partner being dead silent he figured he'd pass the time reading.
It was much nicer than having to listen to the unwanted thoughts in his head.
The snake hears a knock on the door. He looks up, noticing the time. It was almost 12pm- they were supposed to be heading to the library with Rey to look at the books sequels. He gets up as Rey knocks again, heading to the door. "I'm coming, I'm coming..."
He opens the door, finding Rey on the other side.
Rey grins as Jade opens the door. "Hey Jade! You ready to go check out the sequels?" They ask, excited to share their hyperfixation. Jade smiles, stepping out of the dojo and closing the door. "Of course- I'm almost finished the first book. When you told me there was a whole trilogy I was relieved." Jade chuckles, remembering the insane plot twist but realising there wasn't enough pages left for the protagonist to resolve it.
"I know! The plot twist was insane! I didn't think the protagonist was gonna make it- until I learned there was a second and third book!" Rey rants, leading Jade towards the library. The snake demon pulls his hood up as he follows the young dragon.
This was better than sitting in the dojo all day.
As Rey rants on and Jade listens, the snake demons halts as he smells a familiar odor. He stops in his tracks, his red eyes narrowing as he looks into the dark alley. The stench of sewerage and fear fills his nostrils and if he listened hard enough, he could also hear something- the faint sound of a kid screaming.
"Jade? Are you okay?"
Jade glances to Rey, who had stopped talking once they realised the snake demon was no longer following them. Jade hesitates, glancing down the dark alley before shaking his head. "No, I don't think so... something's wrong." He explains. Rey pauses, confused. "What?"
"You can head on to the library. I'll be there soon." He says. He's about to take a step into the alley when Rey stops him.
"What?! No way! We were gonna spend the day together- i-if you're gonna check something out, then I will too!" They state determinedly. Jade was surprised, since this seemed to be a first for Rey.
"...Alright fine." he sighs, and the two head into the dark alley, following the faint sounds of the screaming kid.
"Can we go to the arcade later on this afternoon?" Érzi asks as he takes off his seatbelt, turning in the seat so he's facing Chen who was walking up to an apartment door. Chen shrugs, not turning to face the boy as he sorts through the orders. "That won't be till after I'm finished work, but sure." He says, finally finding the order and walking up to the doors. "Don't go anywhere."
Érzi kicks his feet as he waits for the bull demon to come back to the tuk-tuk, watching him as he knocks on the door with the tenants order. Minding his own business, he doesn't notice a beat-up old van park quietly behind the tuk-tuk, the back doors sliding open as a dark figure exits.
It wasn't until he felt something moving behind him that the boy finally turns around, only for a potato sack to cover his head and something yank him into the back of the van before he could react.
The vans tires screech as it speeds away, this being the only reason Chen turns around to see what's going on. Upon seeing the van speeding away and Érzi missing, it wasn't hard to put two and two together.
Chen panics, dropping the delivery as someone answers the door. "CRAP! ÉRZI!"
"Hey man! What's the big idea-"
"HE JUST GOT KIDNAPPED!" Chen yells, charging towards his tuk-tuk and scrambling inside, not caring that he hit his horns on the way as he starts up the small vehicle and chases after the van. The man is left on his doorstep, confused and disappointed.
Chen speeds down the highway, narrowly avoiding crashing into cars as he chases the van. Weaving through traffic, he tries to keep his eyes on it, not wanting to lose it and risk losing Érzi. "I'm so stupid! Why didn't I think something like this would happen?! Of course something like this would happen!"
He yells in surprise as a car comes out of nowhere, forcing him to slam on his brakes. The car slams on its brakes as well, stopping in his path. Chen's ears flatten as he watches the van disappear from sight. He groans, slamming his head on the wheel. "Crap crap crap-"
"HEY! MOVE YOUR DANG CAR ALREADY!" An enraged driver shouts, forcing Chen to move his tuk-tuk as he shoots a glare at said driver.
He had to find Érzi, but how?!
Jade and Rey had followed the sounds of the child yelling into the dark alley, keeping to the shadows to avoid detection. The snake demon noticed how Rey looks around nervously, obviously having second thoughts about coming with him. But it was too late to back down now as they were almost there. The voices were just around the corner...
"LET GO OF ME! I'LL CLAW YOUR EYES OUT!" The child screams out of anger. There's another male voice, one Jade recognised. "Ugh will you shut it up already Goliath? It's giving me a head-ache."
"I tried! She bit me!"
"Did I ask that?"
Jade peers his head around the corner, spotting the source of the voices. It was the Spider Queen's henchmen, Goliath and Syntax, as well as...another spider demon? This one was way younger, though. A young teenage girl with white hair, wearing a raggedy hoodie. Instead of having mechanical spider limbs like the others, they were replaced by identical exoskeleton ones with fur on them. Goliath was restraining the girl in his arms while Syntax was looking at holographic screens, his goggles inspecting a vial in his hands.
"YOU JERKS HAVE NO IDEA WHO YOU'RE MESSING WITH! I'LL MAKE SURE YOU CAN'T USE YOUR STUPID ROBO LIMBS AGAIN!"
"Fascinating- it appears one of the Spider Queen's bots somehow malfunctioned causing a biological mutation in this girls transformation." he ponders to himself, lifting up his goggles. "I'm sure the Spider Queen would be interested to know of this new revelation. Perhaps it could help in our next invasion- would you SHUT her UP already?!" Syntax snaps at Goliath as the girl continues to yell and curse, trying to wriggle free of the larger spider demons grasp.
Goliath scoffs as he tightens his grip. "If it's so easy why don't you do it?! YOW!" he yelps in pain as the girl bites down on his arm. He grabs the back of her jacket, now holding her in the air out of reach. "Would you stop that?! That's the fifth time you've bitten me in the last ten minutes!"
"BITE ME!"
Syntax groans in annoyance, shooting a bunch of webbing at the girl, quickly restraining her. "THERE. Was that so hard?"
"MOTHERFU- YOU THINK THIS'LL STOP ME?! I'LL GET OUTTA HERE AND YOU'LL-"
"Oh shut UP!"
As the two spider henchmen begin to bicker, Jade steps back around the corner, turning to Rey. "I'll be a diversion, you go cut the kid free. Got it?"
Rey nods, clutching their bag tightly. The snake demon jumps up onto the wall of the alley, walking around the corner silently and out of the spider henchmen's view. Looking up, the dragon watches as Jade walks across the alleys walls above the spider henchmen, sneaking past them easily as he heads to the other side of the alley. Rey starts leaning over, keeping an eye on Jade so that they were ready for the signal. He's about to jump down when Rey accidentally falls over onto a trash can, knocking it over and causing a loud crash.
The alarmed spider henchmen quickly turn around to face the sound, Syntax being the first to rush over, finding Rey sprawled on the ground.
"Well well well, if it isn't the other little dragon working with that Monkie Kid."
Érzi's hands were tied behind his back with rope while the same potato sack was covering his head, blocking his view. But by the sound of a voice in the front and the revving of an engine, it wasn't hard to tell that he was in a vehicle of some kind. That and the way he was being jostled around gave it away.
"I got the kid, heading back to base now." A deep male voice says from the front. Ah, so there was only one of them. Well that was good, right? Nothing he can't handle.
Érzi slips his hands free of the rope with ease, rubbing his wrist before taking the sack off his head. He looks around, realising he's in the back of a van. They go over another bump, causing Érzi to yelp as he lands on his butt. "Hey! Do you have to drive so fast?! That's dangerous you know!"
"Quiet back there brat!" The man snaps, not even bothering to look back.
The van comes to a screeching halt, and Érzi almost hits his head on the inside of the van. The large man in the front gets out, the young boy left alone in the van for a moment. OUtside, three pairs of voices could be heard, all males by the sounds of it. The boy gets to his feet, preparing to fight or flee when the doors were opened.
"Geez this kid has been gettin' on my nerves these past few weeks." One voice exclaims. "At least now we can keep an eye on them-"
The doors open, blinding Érzi for a moment as light floods in. Before the boy could react one of the men gasp in shock. "FOR SAGE'S SAKE- BO YOU GOT THE WRONG KID!" One of the voices shouts. Érzi rubs his eyes, his vision coming back to him.
Before him stood three demons. One tall, muscular one with tiny horns that looked like the one driving the van, another about the same height as Chen that wore a jacket, and another, much smaller imp-looking fella. The imp-sized one was the one yelling at the big buff demon. "I TOLD YOU IT WAS A SPIDER! A SPI-DER! WHAT ABOUT THIS KID LOOKS LIKE A SPIDER?!"
"HEY HE LOOKED LIKE A SPIDER FROM THE ANGLE I SAW HIM OKAY?!" The big buff demon tries to defend himself. Érzi watches them arguing, stunned. What the hell was happening?
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?! HE DOESN'T EVEN FIT THE DANG DESCRIPTION I GAVE YOU!" The small demon screams back.
The third demon cringes upon realising their mistake, turning to Érzi with an apologetic look. "Hey sorry about all this kid- this must've been really scary for ya huh?" He says awkwardly, holding out a hand to help Érzi out of the van. The boy steps out by himself, still confused by what was going on. "Uh- who are you guys? What's going on?"
The two other demons stop arguing for a moment, turning to look at Érzi. The big buff demon clears his throat, looking away out of shame. The imp-sized demon rolls his eyes. "We're the Demon Brothers, descendents of the Golden Tiger or something, yada yada that's not really important- and as to what's going on, we were trying to find some kid who keeps stealing our stuff, and this genius-" he points to the big buff demon. "Our little brother Bo picked you up by mistake."
"You said some kid that looked like they were 12 or 13 with a blue hoodie!" Bo tries to explain, but the smaller demon just scoffs. "And the spider part? Did that just fly over your dumb head?"
"Hey chill out Bolin, you don't need to be so mean-"
Bolin groans, rubbing his eyes. "Aiguo can you please take the kid back to where Bo found him? Now I gotta figure out a plan to find the ACTUAL thief..." He mutters, walking into a dingy old house, and was soon followed by Bo. Aiguo sighs, walking over to the van. "Sorry about all this kid. That thief has been stealing our supplies for months now- and we only just got a glimpse of them the other night. We've tried everything to catch them- but they keep evading our traps! You can hop up front if you want."
Érzi climbs into the front of the van, sitting in the passenger seat as Aiguo climbs into the drivers side. "Why don't you try writing a letter or something?"
"Huh?"
"Maybe they're homeless, and that's why they keep stealing your stuff. Maybe instead of trying to catch them, why not offer them a place to stay?" The boy suggests. The demon gives Érzi a weird look. "That's... not really how this stuff works-"
Érzi only shrugs as Aiguo pulls out of the small driveway, heading back to where Bo had originally taken him from. "It wouldn't hurt to try though, would it?"
Aiguo hums, now concentrating on driving. "Meh, I guess..."
"Well well well, if it isn't the other little dragon working with that Monkie Kid." Syntax hisses, placing the vial he'd been holding into his pocket. "I think you and I both know we can't have you running off and blabbering our business to that monkey buffoon." he states, reaching out to grab Rey. The young dragon scrambles back. "NO NO NO GET AWAY FROM ME!"
Just as Syntax was about to grab Rey a guandao slices through the air, stabbing into the spider demons sleeve and pinning him to the wall. Goliath and Syntax snap their attention to the wall above the larger spider demon, spotting Jade pulling out another guandao from his sleeve.
Syntax growls, yanking the weapon out of the wall. "Goliath! Grab the dragon- I'll handle the snake. Nobody ruins my coat and gets away with it!" Goliath nods, putting the spider girl down. The spider girl was still trying to free herself from the webbing. "Hey you big ugly robo jerk! Get back here and untie me!"
Goliath ignores her as he starts chasing poor Rey, the dragon screaming as they run away from the larger spider. "Get back here!"
Bringing out his mechanical spider limbs, Syntax charges towards Jade, climbing along the alley's walls with ease. The snake leaps down to meet him, spinning his weapon before trying to spear the spider demon. Syntax blocks it with ease with two of his spider limbs.
"I recognise you. You're one of the demons the Spider Queen kidnapped during the invasion! That Jade Warrior!" he hissed, his goggles lighting up as he activates a laser gun.
Jade stumbles back to avoid the weapon, using his weapon as a shield as he spins it to deflect the lasers. Syntax grins, using this opportunity to attack the snake demon. "I'm sure bringing you to the Spider Queen would be a great opportunity to win her respect."
As Jade and Syntax fight, in the background Rey starts running in circles around Goliath, being smaller and more agile it wasn't too difficult. But he was still dangfast.
"Get back here you little reptile!" Goliath yells in annoyance, getting sick of chasing the dragon in circles. Of course Rey doesn't listen and runs towards a ladder leading up to the roof. They start to climb, soon followed by Goliath. "You can't run from me!"
They reach the top, disappearing over the ledge. Goliath follows quickly after, jumping up with ease. He looks around, realising Rey was no where in sight. He growls lowly, skulking around the rooftop in search of the dragon.
The door leading down and inside swings slightly, catching his attention. Realising it was the only place they could've gone on the small roof, he quickly charges inside. "I've got you now!"
As Goliath charges through the door and down the stairs, Rey cautiously sneaks out from behind the door, grateful that the spider henchman was too dumb to check there. They rush back to the edge of the roof, climbing down the ladder to the tied up spider girl.
The spider girl, who had previously been trying to bite her way out of the webbing encasing her, looks up to see Rey running over to her. "Back off bucko! I'll bite ya!"
Rey holds up their hands to show they mean no harm. "Hey I'm here to help you!" they explain, reaching into their bag and pulling out a small pocket knife, cutting through the sticky webbing. "Gross gross gross gross-"
"Shut up you big baby and just get me outta here!" The girl spat out, startling Rey enough to shut them up. Just as Rey finished cutting the last of the webbing off the spider girl, the dragon freezes as they hear Jade scream in pain.
They look up to see Syntax had stabbed one of his spider limbs into Jade's shoulder, pinning him in place.
"Come on! We can go while he's distracted!" The spider girl hisses, trying to tug the dragon away as Rey starts to panic. Syntax and Jade were too high for them to help, unless...
The dragon rips the golden band off their wrist, their hands shaking as they aim it up to the sky. The spider girl steps back, letting go of Rey. "What the heck are you doing?!"
Dark clouds begin to form above them, the spider too oblivious to them as he was too focused on the snake demon. Jade, however, could see the sky clearly, watching in bewilderment as lightning lit up the sky, all while Rey was standing on the ground below.
"Say goodnight, Jade Warrior." Syntax snickers as he points some kind of gun at the snake demon. However, a bolt of lightning comes down from the sky, striking Syntax and his mechanical limbs. He yells in pain, both he and Jade dropping to the ground.
Once they hit the ground, Rey quickly puts the gold band back on, the thunder clouds remaining in the sky as they rush over to Jade before Syntax could recover. They help the snake demon to their feet, placing his arm around their shoulders as they begin to drag him away.
The spider girl, who had previously been standing beside Rey in stunned silence, was about to follow the pair when she stops, turning back to Syntax and rummaging through his pocket, pulling out the vial that contained her blood within. She looks at it for a moment, before smashing the vial on the ground, breaking it. "Suck on that!" She also steals his wallet before running off, leaving Syntax on the ground as thunder rumbled overhead.
"You're older brother is kind of a baby, throwing a tantrum like that." Érzi says as the other demon, Aiguo, drove up to the dock- a place the young boy had requested be dropped off. Aiguo shrugs, pulling over. "He's just been stressed out recently, that's all. He means well, he can just be a bit too bossy at times. Older brothers, am I right?"
"I don't have an older brother. Or any siblings." Érzi explains, hopping out of the car. "Thanks for dropping me off Mr. Aiguo! I hope I can see you again some time." The boy says as Aiguo rolls down his window, leaning out. "No problem, kiddo. Sorry again for that whole kidnapping mess-"
Something large crashes into the roof of the van, causing Aiguo to scream in fear as fist grabs him from above and yanks him onto the roof of the vehicle. The demons terrified and shocked gaze lands on a certain enraged bull demons green one. "WHERE THE HELL IS HE YOU CREEP-"
"WOAH HEY WHAT THE HECK MAN-"
"Chen? How did you know I was here?"
Chen doesn't loosen as he looks down to see Érzi standing next to the van, unharmed. Chen drops the demon and jumps off the roof, kneeling in front of the young boy worriedly as he checks the boy over. "Oh my great sage you're okay- are you hurt? They didn't hurt you did they? I swear if they hurt you-" The bull demon turns back to the van with a snarl, glaring at the cowering demon.
Érzi waves him off. "I'm fine, geez! This was all just a big misunderstanding- they thought I was someone else." The boy explains. Chen looks back at Érzi, confused. "What do you mean- were they trying to kidnap another kid or something?"
"Well, yes and no- they're trying to catch a thief."
"...by kidnapping kids?"
"How did you find me anyway?" Érzi asks, trying to change the subject. Chen rubs his eyes, his tail flicking in annoyance. "Some random guy in a robe told me he saw the van driving to the docks, so I came as soon as I could."
"A robed guy?" Érzi asks in confusion. As they chatted, Aiguo crawls back into his van, starting it up again. "I thought you said you didn't have an older brother kid!" He says, speeding off. Chen jumps up, facing the van. "HEY GET BACK HERE WE'RE NOT DONE!"
"Chen leave him alone! He was just dropping me off!" Érzi explained in annoyance, gesturing to Sandy's boat at the dock. The bull demon turns to Érzi, his ears flat against his head as he glares at the young boy. "Érzi you have no idea what could've happened, do you? What if he wanted to eat you, huh? Or sell you off or something else?! What would I tell your dad?! "Oh I'm so sorry Mr. Míhóu, your son was kidnapped"?!"
"Hey I can handle myself!" Érzi exclaims, crossing his arms. Chen rolls his eyes. "Just like you could handle yourself when you were attacked by Macaque?"
Érzi falls quiet, looking away with an unreadable expression. Chen sighs, ruffling his hair much to his annoyance. "I was worried about you, buddy. I thought I'd have to go to your father and tell him you're gone with the knowledge that it was my fault for not keeping a better eye on you."
"...now that you put it that way, I think I finally understand Bolin."
Chen pauses, blinking stupidly as he looks down at the young boy. "Who the heck is Bolin?"
Jade hisses in pain as Rey pulls the bandages tight over his wound, trying to stop the bleeding. "Sorry..." the dragon apologises quietly, their hands still shaking a little as they finish putting on the bandage.
Rey had dragged the snake demon to the safety of the library, the prettyloudspider demon girl in tow. The trio sat towards the back of the library out of sight, listening to the weather report commenting on the unusual and sudden storm that seemingly appeared out of nowhere. The girl had found a book to her liking, something about the "most gruesome deaths in history", but at least she was being quiet now.
"Uh, thanks for saving me back there... you didn't need to kid." Jade says, rolling his shoulder to test it. He immediately regrets it when pain shoots up his shoulder, making him wince. The dragon merely shrugs, putting the first aid kit away. "I mean you did save me back with the Spider Queen's bots, so I think it's fair I had to help you out." They say, almost dropping the first aid kit as they start to take it to the back.
"You're hands are shaking kiddo."
Rey pauses, looking back at the snake demon. He was sitting down at the table, his fingers tapping on the surface nervously as he eyes the weather on the tv, the reporter talking about it's unusual nature and how the weather station was working to dispose of it to bring everyone another sunny day. "You didn't want to use your power and you still did. Why?" He asks, turning his gaze back to Rey. Rey lets out a shaky sigh. "You're my friend. And I didn't want to just sit by anymore..."
Jade hums, looking back at the tv.Just like Chen."Well... thanks again, kiddo..." he finally says quietly, watching as Rey disappears into the back with the first aid kit.
Rey places the kit back on the top shelf from where it came from. As they bring their arms back down, they look at the hand they'd used to summon the storm. It was barely noticeable, but there was a faint blue glow in their veins. A side effect that'll last a few hours. That and now their hand felt hot and shaky. They knew they shouldn't have done it, but they couldn't think of any other way to help.
At least this time they didn't cause a cyclone or something.
They step back in the room in time to see the spider girl starting to act up again, already finished reading her book. "I could've taken down that smaller spider demon if the big guy didn't show up!" she declares, many of the people in the library hush her, causing her to turn to them with a glare. "Bite me!"
"M-ma'am, please quiet down. You can shout all you want when we leave." Rey says quietly. The girl sits down on a beanbag, crossing her arms while her spider limbs twitch behind her, creeping the dragon out. "Well when can we leave?"
"Um... when we know for sure we're safe? But you need to be quiet in here, okay?" The girl huffs in annoyance, rolling her eyes. "What can I do till then?"
"Uh, I can boot up a computer for you?" Rey suggests. The girl tilts her head, thinking it over. "Fine."
Rey inwardly sighs in relief, going to start up a computer for her. Once that was down the girl sits down at the desk, her spider limbs moving to tap the keyboard. Rey goes to walk away when she speaks up. "Thanks for saving me back there, or whatever." Her voice was quiet and still aggressive, but Rey could tell she meant it. "No problem, ma'am! Just try to avoid those guys from now on..."
The spider girl snickers, tapping away at the keyboard as a maniacal grin comes across her face. "No promises."
Sitting back down next to Jade, Rey sighs in relief. "So... did you want to check out that trilogy now?"
A/N: Not me realising Goliath's name isn't actually Goliath, it's what the fans called him. I honestly don't know why i'm writing in this style recently i guess so i'm not stuck on just one pov for too long? and also so you guys can see what they're doing during the episodes? Idk should i keep writing like this? or should i put them into 2 chapters or something
(Also the spider girl being kinda Uzi coded is so funny honestly)
The next chapter will definately be more Chen focused
