Hath
Chapter 1
The beginning
Hath stood there eyeing his enemy ninjas each with a different weapon. The 1st ninja holding his bow and adding a poisonous arrow to the end of it waiting for his master to tell him when to fire. Hath seeing the second ninja, who grasped his spear and stepped back. Hath took his machete out of his holster stared the third ninja in the eye who had two long spiky swords and whispered “whenever your ready…” The master ninja shouted, “die!!” With that the 1st ninja fired his first arrow Hath put his hand out and grabbed it. Hath threw back the arrow at the 1st ninjas head. The 1st ninja getting weary suddenly passed out dropping his bow on the ground. The second ninja took something out of his pocket and threw something like white dust at Hath. Hath’s vision was blurry he couldn’t see straight he was swinging his machete trying to hit the 2nd ninja. The third ninja started running towards Hath at fast speed when suddenly a silver cloud was right in front of the two ninjas. It started to merge into a body shape. It finally took shape and turned out with a mask. The cloud creature started to remove its mask…
Chapter 2
Rescue
Its eyes glinted like the sun shining on silver they flickered but strangely it had no pupils. Its face was covered from the bottom of his chin to the bottom of his nose by a black mask with air holes in it. It had a scar above his right eye. His fiery red hair was stuck up straight. He had a long black cloak covering his armoured body and black leather boots. The ninjas slashed at the cloud creature. In an instant the creature drew some dust out of his pocket and threw it on the ground the dust was floating everywhere no one could see. When the dust cleared the ninjas saw that the creature wasn’t there “where’d he go!” shouted the 1st ninja. “grrrr split up and find him!!!” shouted the ninja master. “Korak Manto Lastik come!” Another ninja appeared from the darkness he was all black with just a slit so he could see. The second ninja Manto Came running down the wall and stood to attention. Finally the third ninja jumped down and knelt down beside his master. “Yes master kay…..”
Chapter 3
The search
Kay stared at his ninjas and then saw Hath crawling to get behind a rock still not being able to see. “Bring him to me” he told his ninjas. The ninjas went to bring Hath to kay when an arrow went threw mantos leg “AAAAA my leg!!!!” he cried in pain falling to the ground holding his leg. Korak and Lastik stopped turned and drew their weapons “who’s there!!” Korak shouted demandingly. Another arrow came flying down at Mantos other leg the arrow went straight threw his knee “aaaarrggggg!!!” Morak screamed in pain. Korak drew his own silver bow and put an arrow aiming to the darkness. “Where is he….”? Korak whispered. “Up there!” Shouted Lastik pointing to where hed seen. Korak realesed his arrow but in moments the arrow was slit in half……. Hath stood their tired breathing heavily leaning on a sword. “Grrrrrr its you” shouted korak running to attack Hath but before he could hit the first blow Hath Jumped up and sliced Koraks head off with his machete which was in his other hand Koraks blood was spilling. And there was a faint blow of wind in the air. Lastik Gawping at Koraks head suddenly was beginning to get worried. He stepped back and dropped one of his swords “don’t think im going to go easy on you either I might be blind but I can still sense you” growled Hath Staring at Lastik. “Grrrrr your foolish you can beat me but master Kay will be telling the emporer all about you and that cloud creature the emporer and his grand army will take over the world and you will be nothing but a slave or worse!” Shouted Lastik swinging his sword. Hath laughed and said, “Before I kill you I have a question?? What are you????” Lastik smiled and told Hath “I am a dark shadow the same with the others you killed we are night killers we don’t know how you found us at this village but we will make sure no one will ever know about us until its time…” “Time for what exactly??” asked Hath. Lastik then flung himself towards Hath swinging his sword and trying to kill or just wound the blinded Hath. Hath was blocking every move Lastik made “im getting tired of this game” shouted Hath flipping over Lastik then turned around stabbing him thru his stomach. Lastik spat blood Out of his mouth and fell over dead. Hath full of blood Stared at Kay who was struck dead in the same position. “Now kay were is the emperor??” Asked Hath. “You…. You…. You outlaw!!! The emperor’s palace is an ancient place I am not telling you anymore even if you try killing me” Kay shouted. “Ok then deliver this to the emperor for me would ya” Hath said making a cut on kays Face. Kay cried in pain blood spilling on the floor “now go! Before I change my mind of you living” Kay ran out of the village up to the mountains as he was doing so he dropped a piece of paper…
Chapter 4
The Coming
Hath stood eyeing the sword he had found. Something moved in the darkness of a cave near the mountains where the arrows came from “what the??” Hath whispered. “Whos there??”As Hath approached the cave on the mountains he could here breathing and movement from inside. “Show yourself!” Hath shouted. Then out of the cave came the cloud creature with a bow and a few arrows but there was a strange sword he was holding in his hand it was nearly the exact same as Haths sword. “Oh its you” Hath said calmly “do you speak at all do you have a name??” The cloud creature came closer to Hath “yes my name is Cloud I am a cloud creature and what name do you go by warrior?” Cloud replied. Hath looking at cloud said, “cloud creature?? I have heard of no cloud creature in my adventures but how do you know I am a warrior?” “I am of a secret race only a few know of I have no home or family I had fallen out of the stars above and made my home near here but it was took by them dark shadows I would have stopped them but there numbers were large and power was great especially the one they called the emperor” cloud told Hath “so hath where are you going now?” “This is my home” Hath said “I am going to see my father.tonllius” Hath said “Tonnillius!!” Cloud shouted “this is breaking news to you hath but…. but…. but…” “WAT! Hath shouted “Is it something to do wit my father?!” Hath asked wanting to know. “Yes it is……your father was great……truly was but…..while I was travelling I met your father…. We talked he told me to deliver a message to you.” Cloud told Hath looking death like “WAT?” Hath cried. “Well..” cloud stammered for a minute “your father was dying… he told me to tell you that you should kill the new emperor Chan. he is a deadly opponent he told me this before the emperors forces killed him…..” cloud then was silent and just stared at the ground. Hath was going crazy now he was yelling that he would kill the emperor to avenge his fathers death and to take the throne from the emperor Chan. “wait” cloud said “your father gave me something to give to you he said use it wisely” Cloud took a book out of the inside of his cloak and gave it to Hath.
Chapter 5
The sorcerer
After a couple of hours getting over his fathers death Hath looked at the book and read the title “sorcery and magic” “cool” He said opening the book “hmmmmmmm lets see here…summoning might come in handy teleportation taming banishing aswell do you know any magic cloud?” he looked up and cloud and raised his eyebrow. “Just a few” he smiled. “Go on show me one and ill do one out of this book” Hath said looking at one particular spell. “Well if u insist but just one” Cloud said smiling again
Cloud closed his eyes and raised his hands twirling them around and around. the sky was turning black and drops of rain started coming down. Black clouds formed and thunder rumbled and lightning struck a near bye tree to ashes. Rocks began to fall from the mountains and a few village huts began to disappear. Tornadoes started sucking up the crops and bits of rock. Cloud opened his eyes and clapped his hands in an instant the mad weather stopped the rain stopped falling the clouds opened to the heavens the tornado stopped and all the crops had fallen in a different place. Hath stood there gawping at Cloud in astonishment “like that?” Cloud said turning his head and looking at Hath “I could teach you that some time but not today” Cloud walked over to Hath and sat down on a rock. “ok my turn I guess” Hath said standing up with the book in his hand. “ok…..dracellius sormorscus rappelius takton” Hath shouted waving his hand in front of him. Nothing was happening “oh yea good book” said Cloud laughing suddenly there was a blow of wind knocking Cloud over then a flash and after the flash an enormous nearly 50 ft red scaled, black eyed, pointy ears, shaped wings like chainsaws, short arms and long claws, clawed feet digging in the ground and a gargantuan tail swishing all over the place Dragon. It breathed fire at the Dead woods making a clear passage for Cloud and Hath to get to Grindang city. The dragon stared at Hath and Cloud and said in a cavernous jagged voice “I am theokis one of the mighty Mandrake dragons I am your summon dragon, only you may summon me when thee want the other dragons are held in different cities and different locations we gain power so we can learn different spells and moves my current power level is 10 and may I ask what is my masters name?” Hath now trembling looking up at the spiralled shaped dragon opened his mouth but no words came out he opened his mouth again and said “… … wa …. Wa…. Im.. Im Hath son of tonnilus… pleasure to meet you theokis” Theokis breathed smoke out of his nose and said “I will go until the next time you need me” Theokis twirled around and flew into the book closing it as he went inside it. Cloud looking at where theokis had been starting to shiver a bit said, “Ok don’t do that again until we really need it that is scary!” Hath looked at cloud on the floor recovering from what had just happened “don’t be a wuss” he laughed “anyways im guessing we should go this way through the forest to Grindang city” Hath said walking to the dead forest “Wait up!” Cloud shouted getting up and running towards Hath.
Chapter 6
Dead forest
Hath and Cloud approached the front of the forest where there was a sign saying –road to grindang city DANGER WILD MONSTERS- “ok lets go through” Hath said walking into the mysterious forest “your mad!” Cloud said running behind him. As they got further into the forest the bushes beside them started to rustle and a wind started to kick up. Further and further they went into the forest hoping it wouldn’t be far to Grindang city “how long until we get there Hath?” Cloud asked shaking “well I don’t know I want to get out of here before night falls” Hath said “urrrr Hath its gone past night fall and im getting tired cloud warriors need to rest you know?” Cloud whispered, “Oh Cloud you stupid git we can’t stop did you read the sign? Anyway we only have to go a bit more….” Hath stopped dead and stood looking at something ahead of them which was out of Clouds view.” what is it Hath?? What’s wrong?..” Hath drew his sword and started creeping forwards until it came into Clouds view “errrrrr what’s that?” Cloud asked anxious to know “shhhhh will you, you’ll wake it” Hath whispered back with a mean look on his face. As they got closer to the object the wind started to blow harder against Hath and Cloud “you go first Hath ill just wait until you’ve got past whatever that is” Cloud told Hath “come on or else ill leave you here!” Hath said in a quiet whispery voice. The thing on the floor was in a long black cloak covering its whole body the only thing visible was its bony hands. As Hath and Cloud were close to it the thing moved “wooaaaa I think it can hear us” Cloud shouted his echo going thru the forest. the thing on the floor moved again but this time it stood up…it then slowly took of its cloak to reveal itself as a “SKELETON!!!” cried Cloud “oh god its moving kill it!” the skeleton reached inside it body and took out a sword he then screamed and attacked. They then started clashing their swords together and trying to kill each other Hath swiped at the skeletons head and sliced it off Hath now thinking he had won the battle started to rest “LOOK OUT!” Cloud shouted Hath turned to see the skeleton moving again coming towards Hath but before he knew it the skeletons sword came thrusting into his arm “aaaaaarrrgggg” Hath screamed in pain Cloud now knowing to act quickly drew an arrow and fired it at the skeleton knocking it back a bit. The skeleton still did not stop coming, it again swiped at Hath Cloud drew his sword and jumped in front of Hath blocking the blow with his own sword. He then kicked the skeleton back and raced towards him swiping its arm off. The skeleton now with only one arm and no head started slashing furiously towards Cloud. Cloud swiping back franticly trying to protect himself and Hath. The skeleton now started to slow down Cloud now knowing this was his chance swiped the skeletons sword in half and chopped its other arm off the skeleton now not being able to attack started to retreat thru the forest Cloud attached a different kind of arrow to his bow and fired it at the skeletons leg the skeleton now disappeared into ashes. “damn Cloud good performance maybe you could have done that before he cut my arm!” Hath said laughing “yea sure Hath I forgot I had that arrow it’s a magic arrow made for killing beasts like that skeleton so don’t blame me anyway we should carry on going north” Cloud said breathing heavy from the battle “come on get up lets go” Cloud said helping Hath up.
Chapter 7
The Clearing
As they walked for a few more hours looking out for any more skeletons they reached a clearing “hey I think where here” Hath said walking over to the sign he’d seen lets see –grindang city- “yea were here just up there” Hath said pointing north east “come on then” Shouted Cloud already on his way to grindang. As they got further the city came into view “whoa that pretty big for a tower!!” shouted cloud “yea I know its massive” said Hath. “May I help you two?” asked a strange voice Hath and Cloud looked down to see a woman in a uniform like a soldiers uniform but as Hath looked at her face he went weird and every time he went to speak he couldn’t all that came out was “ba…. Bah...” Cloud nudged Hath and said” yes were warriors we came from distant lands looking for the emperor Chan do you know where we can find him?” Hath still not being able to speak started to lean forward with is tongue out “errrr I don’t know any one by the name of emperor Chan he may be in … a different city if you want you can battle our leader Raskis but you have to have a monster to fight” the woman told Cloud looking at Hath oddly like he was a dog “yes thank you may I ask your name miss??…” Cloud asked “ spice miss spice but you can call me Jane” she said winking oddly at cloud “yea ok sure… were goanna look around now see you again sometime” Cloud said thinking why she winked at him but before he could even think she said “ tomorrow at 5 o’clock 10 maple street here’s my address call me” Jane gave Cloud the paper, winked again and went to her post. “ok…that was weird” said Cloud “grrrrrr I hate you I’m goanna kill you!!!” Shouted Hath “you stupid git she was asking you for a date!” Shouted Hath a bit more quietly “oh… ive heard of them it’s when to people get to gether and after they go to there huts and…” before he could finish Hath said “yea yea you get the idea come on” as they went past Jane’s post She winked at Cloud and blew him a kiss Cloud thinking it was quite weird just carried on walking with Hath thru the gate.
Chapter 8
Grindang city
“Hey there’s that building” shouted Cloud “hey would you keep it down with the shouting we must find a inn to rest” Hath told Cloud. Hath and Cloud went to ask a person walking bye if there was an inn anywhere close The person looked at Them and asked “ooooo you must be the two Jane was talking about she said that Cloud was really nice but she also said you kind off freaked her out mr errrrr??” The stranger looked at Hath waiting for an answer “HATH! NO MR!” Shouted Hath “ok calm down Hath” said the stranger “why should I calm down Cloud were going!” Yelled Hath “errrr do you now where there’s an inn sorry about Hath but do you? And may I ask what your name is?” Asked Cloud “my name??…Well I wouldn’t really tell strangers my name but ill tell you since you’re a nice guy my name is Fargoth and there’s an inn round the corner from that shop” Fargoth told Cloud “thank you Fargoth hope we meet again” Hath said bowing to Fargoth and running after Hath “what did you do that for he was just trying to be nice!” Shouted Cloud to Hath. Hath did not answer “ come on Hath there’s an inn there, stop being moody cause she likes me better than you” laughed Cloud. “Whatever” sighed Hath walking towards the inn. As they got in the inn Cloud asked the person at the desk “hello miss we are travellers may we have a room and for how much gold?” The woman at the desk looked up and said, “Yes hunny 10 gold coins for a room. How long you planning to stay?” Cloud now thinking said “only about a week please that would be 10 gold coins a night, right?” Cloud smiled and took out 10 gold coins out of his pocket and gave them to the woman “thank you heres your key and room number 13” The woman smiled and began writing things down again. They both went to room number 13 Cloud put the key in the lock twisted it.. and there was no click he tried opening the door but it wouldn’t budge “MOVE!” shouted Hath “wa?” Said Cloud turning round and jumping out the way Hath kicked the door open knocking it over. “Hath we could have just asked that woman down stairs!” Cloud said tugging up the broken door “whateva” Hath went on walking inside to the other bedroom “your sleeping in there don’t come in!” Shouted Hath slamming the door behind him. Cloud was left speechless not even aloud to choose his own room “ok…” He whispered walking into the apartment and closing the door behind him with a slight clink “this just won’t do...” he thought. Cloud closed his eyes and raised his arm and pointed at eabjch oect making them all completely disappear “now” he said taking different objects out of his cloak which were quite big they floated over to different sides of the room snooker table, lights, mirrors, desks, cupboards and loads more. “All finished” he thought smiling. He took a big blue book out of his bookshelf and sat down on his chair “water elementals and magic…” he whispered flicking thru the book “well id best be getting some sleep” he thought standing up and walking to a dark blue tube that was hung up on the wall. It opened as soon as Cloud stood in front of it. He jumped in it and closed his eyes as he did the tube closed. In Hath’s room Hath was practising spells out of his book and memorising the words. Suddenly he heard a noise from Clouds room “what the hell is he doing in their” He thought going to the door opening it a bit and looking in “whoa! I swear they weren’t there before!?” Hath thought looking at all the stuff that he had never seen before. Then he saw Cloud in the tube “what the” He shouted Cloud now opened one eye to look at Hath and said “do you mind im sleeping…” Cloud yawned and went to sleep again…
Chapter 9
The search
“CLOUD WAKE UP WAKE UP” Yelled Hath knocking on the glass of the tube “YOUR DATE WITH JANES TODAY!” Cloud opened his eyes and looked at Hath “what?” He asked. “Grrrrrrrr ill drag ur ass then” Hath shouted opening the tube door and dragging him out “now” he said, “what are you going to wear?”
“I don’t know do I ive never bin on a date before” Cloud told him “Fine just put this on and take that mask off” Hath said reaching for Clouds mask but before he could touch it Cloud grabbed Hathes arm and kicked him thru his cupboard. “Don’t ever touch my mask again” Cloud shouted putting the suit Hath had gave him on “whoa that hurt, ok I don’t touch the mask” Hath whined getting up and rubbing his ribs “go to her address and ill find some information on where the emperor is have fun” Hath shouted pushing Cloud outside and locking the door “now lets c what we have here” thought Hath rummaging round for some gold he could borrow “hmmmm where does he keep it” He thought to himself Hath saw a glimpse of gold on the desk next him. He searched thru the cupboards and found 100 gold coins “hmmmmmm this is stealing but what the heck” He said taking 50 coins walking to the door and unlocking it. He went outside and started asking round for things to look at and do but no one was listening to him he thought to himself “what about that place where the leader is, I could go there and battle. Well it worth a try” Hath walked around looking for the place where the leader was having to luck he asked the next person who walked along where he could find it “oh yes” The old woman said “just in that big building up there the door should open automatically for you young one run along now” The woman carried on walking leaving Hath to get to the building. Hath began walking thru the backstreets towards the tower as Hath got closer to the tower he heard a noise from the building ahead of him. Hath now walking more slowly and cautiously then heard the noise again like the sound of bones clinking together. Hath threw himself against the wall and started to move stealthily to near where the noise was coming from. As he got to the edge of the building he heard the noise again but this time it sounded like swords clashing together. Hath was wondering what was going on round the corner of the building not taking the chance to look or breathe. Round the corner there was voices deep rough voices saying “did you here that?? I think theres someone there boss” Hath could here footsteps approaching him he knew that they had weapons so he drew his sword waiting for this guy to walk round the corner. The footsteps got louder and louder suddenly someone came round the corner slashing at Hath but Hath thinking that this guy was a joke just jumped kiked him in the stomach and sliced his sword out of his hand until coming down and landing on his feet. The man was stood there startled “Agent L be quick and dispose of him” Shouted a voice from the side of the building. Hath started walking towards the man making him step back into the clearing “WHAT THE!” Shouted another voice from the side of the building “SHOW YOUSELF COWARD!” shouted a voice Hath just smiled and replied “fine!” and kicked the man infront of him into the wall. Hath then came walking round the corner and stood staring at the 3 people. “and who might you be?” said one shaking “ you can call me Hath and you might be……” Hath asked “im Agent A that Agent B and that Agent C we are from the future friend may I call you friend?” Agent A Told Hath. “Future eh…yes you can call me friend but I prefer Hath if you don’t mind” Hath laughed “what’s that weapon you got there?” Hath looked at the L shaped weapon They had got “Oh this” said Agent A taking the weapon from his holster “this is a hand gun it shoots bullets something like instant kills, here you have one” Agent A took another one from his other holster and threw it to Hath letting him grab it. “do you 3 know the way to that tower over there I need to get to it without raising suspicion” Hath asked “yes. yes we do..” Agent A Said smiling “follow me” Agent A B and C started to walk towards Hath and then turned a few corners until reaching the main street “that building there if you need us use this is called a mobile just type in these numbers here” Agent A told Hath handing him a peace of paper with some numbers on “ok ill try it once or twice later ill go now” Hath Smiled put the gun in his pocket and put the mobile in his other pocket. Hath walked to the tower doors and pushed against them but they didn’t open “hmm ill try knocking” thought Hath knocking on the door of the tower. There wasn’t an answer but he did hear a moan “OPEN UP!” Hath yelled there still wasn’t an answer “fine if you want it that way you can have it that way Hath thought. He stepped back and barged the door down. “that was easy enough now what” He thought. “I know” He said walking to the stairs and climbing up them . There was a lot of doors so Hath kicked every one open finding nothing but bedrooms and bathrooms until he got to the last one.
Chapter 10
The Tower
Hath kicked the last one open and found a large room decorated in different colours and statues of people but in the middle there was a big bowl big enough to fit theokiss in it. “who are you!” Came a voice from behind Hath “don’t turn around just talk come on!” The voice came again “Na I need to see the person im talking to!” Shouted Hath turning round grabbing him by the neck pushing him against the wall “now you talk who are you!?” Shouted Hath “im...im..grace the leader of this tower…now who are you…?” Whispered Grace chocking. “oh yea sorry bout that” Hath laughed and put grace down “Im Hath im here to kick your ass and get ur medal so ive never done this before so can we start now” Hath asked still laughing “y..y..yea sure come in” Grace told Hath walking towards one side of the bowl “this is a stadium you stand at that end and ill stand at this end” Grace Shouted across the bowl. Hath nodded and did what he was told “NOW WE MUST LET OUR MONSTERS BATTLE!” He yelled louder “wa? Oh yea that must be my dragon” Thought Hath. Grace raised his arms and summoned a dark black and red lion Roaring towards Hath “ok!” Shouted Hath Raising his hands and swirling them. There was a bright light and lighting was hitting the outside. After the light had faded in the stadium bowl there stood theokiss but smaller and not as big as last time he saw him “how I wish Cloud was here” thought Hath. Grace shouted towards his lion “ Saracen flame ball!” Saracen shot a ball of fire towards Theokiss.Theokiss opened his mouth and ate the ball of fire tilted his head up making the ball of fire grow in his mouth “urrrrr fire it back I guess” Shouted Hath. Theokiss opened his mouth and out of his mouth he shot a flame of fire towards Saracen burning its skin and making it fall to the ground barley able to move. “NO! IT CANT BE! MY SARACEN ITS FALLEN! PLZ MOVE!” Shouted Grace falling to the ground on his knees. “I guess ive won!” Shouted Hath laughing “come Saracen return to me you have done well” shouted Grace, Saracen floated up and floated to Grace it, turned into a little white ball and disappeared. “here have the medal you earned it…” Grace said throwing the medal to Hath. “hey chill you’re here to be beat so get up and stop complaining” Hath laughed catching the badge and putting it in his coat “Hath ive not been completely honest with you…” Grace said walking over to Hath “my name isn’t Grace and I was only put here because all the new battlers fight here so I have to let them beat me…” Grace leaned against the wall looked up at Hath and went “My real name is Splinter not many people call me Splinter they just started calling me Grace for some reason… the last leader here he I mean she… had gone and left me in charge…” Splinter’s eyes went dark and he looked at the floor again. “so? Why don’t you come with me and Cloud you could help us with that lion of yours” Hath asked him. Splinter looked up and smiled “you really mean it you want me to come with you!” Splinter asked “well yea but you’ll have to find someone to look after this place for you” Hath laughed. “ill do it…” came a voice. There was a woman standing at the door with long black hair and blue eyes. She wore a pink robe and had a katana attached to her “master Kate your back finally!” Shouted Splinter. Kate looked at Splinter smiled and said “calm yourself Splinter I came back a few hours ago when I heard some noises I came to see what was going on and I found you two battling your tiger needs to be trained and your dragon is mighty powerful Splinter is aloud to go with you…” Hath smiled at Splinter and he smiled back “on one condition though…” Kate went on “you must beat me…” Hath nodded and started to go to the edge of the dome when there was a voice “ill do it stand back Hath its my turn for some fun” Hath turned around a saw Cloud “Cloud!! What you doing here! I mean you haven’t even got a monster to battle with!?” Hath shouted walking towards Cloud “wanna bet?” said Cloud smiling walking to the edge of the dome “ok then I face you then…” Laughed Kate walking to the other edge of the bowl. Kate clapped her hands and in front of her was a gigantic snake. “beat that” Kate laughed “ok” Smiled Cloud Clicking his fingers in an instant in front of Cloud the was something like a mixture of a bird a cat and a lion standing on two legs, a spiky tail, sharp paws, spiky teeth, brown wings a flame sword and an evil glare. “WHAT IS THAT!” shouted Kate over the noise the monsters were making “this?? This is Tanork my monster” Cloud shouted back laughing “TIGER CLAW!” shouted cloud.Tanork jumped at kates snake and swiped at its face with its paw. Kates snake whined in pain and started to snap at Tanork and swung its tail towards it knocking Tanork back. Kate shouted towards her snake “Rangork toxic bite!” Rangork slithered towards Tanork trying to bite it Cloud yelled to his Tanork “flame sword!!!” Tanork flew into the air and held its sword above its head it came crashing down on Rangork and slicing its stomach. Rangork screamed in pain and agony for it had been defeated. Kate didn’t look to surprised she just returned her Rangork the same as Splinter did to his lion. “you battle well Cloud I must have misunderstood your power. take this it will help you in your journeys take Splinter with you he is a very reliable battler teach him the ways of the battler please visit me some time” Kate said smiling and giving Cloud a ball Cloud didn’t say anything just smiled and shook Kates hand “leave now heal at the centre next to this building” Kate said waved and stepped out of the room. “Hey Cloud Splinter wed best be going come on” Hath said walking out the room “ok where coming!” Cloud and Splinter shouted running after Hath.
Chapter 11
Agent D,E and F
Hath Splinter and Cloud came out of the healing centre feeling re-energized and ready to travel. “oh these agents gave me this mo-bile I think its called there from the future they wanted me to type these numbers in it” Hath told Splinter and Cloud taking out the mobile and taping the numbers into it and pressing a button. He put the mobile to his ear and waited…waited…”hello?” came a voice from the end of the line “urrr yes Agent A its Hath the one who beat Agent L up??” Hath said “ahhhh yes Hath my friend I told you to phone me. Did you go well beating the leader?” Agent A asked roughly “oh yea I kicked her ass all over the place well… I didn’t but Cloud did. Kind off” Hath said laughing “Well” Said Agent A “Would you mind coming back to the place we met last time ive got something you might like…” The mobile did not make any more noise but a buzzzzzzzz “come on ill show you the agents” said Hath walking towards a building Splinter and cloud looked at each other and then ran after Hath. As Hath got to where he met the agents he found Agent B “This way…” Agent B told them walking towards a gutter “urrrr ok” Hath said walking towards the gutter. Agent B looked round trying to see if anyone else was around then bent down and opened the gutter leading to some steps “down there” Agent B said pointing to the steps below. Hath looked down the steps leading to nothing but darkness Hath looked up at Agent B stared at him strangely and proceeded down the steps with Splinter and Cloud. The tunnel was pitch black there was the echo of footsteps and dripping of water. In the distance there was faint talking it gradually became louder louder and louder. The voices were talking about a tournament and new agents the voice was familiar to Hath he thought for a while then said “hey its Agent A where almost there I can see the light!” Agent B grunted and started to walk faster Hath started to speed up and asked Agent B “why so fast?” Agent B didn’t give an answer so Hath thought he couldn’t be bothered. At the end of the tunnel there was a steal door Agent B knocked on the door once with his backhand and then twice with the front. The door opened and there stood Agent C “aaahhh Agent A has been expecting you… please come in” Agent C said moving aside for Hath, Splinter and Cloud to come thru. They walked in and found a large room decorated with strange pictures and weapons. There were statues in the corner and plants on a desk at the far right where Agent A was sitting “ahh my friends I have been waiting please take a seat” Agent A said. Hath Splinter and Cloud all sat down trying not to trap there cloaks under the legs of the chairs. Agent A smiled and went on saying “ I have asked you to come for a few reasons…the first there is a tournament going on its starting in about 3 hours I would like you to enter it if you don’t mind?…and the second is ii would like you to become agents if it doesn’t mind you?” Hath looked at Cloud turned his head and looked at Splinter and then said “ok well enter and sure well become agents if its ok with you guys?” Cloud and Splinter both smiled and nodded. “ok then fill this form in please oh and you will be doing jobs aswell. And take this map it’s a guide round the city and to the tournament” Agent A explained giving the papers to them with a pen and the map. They all filled them in “ill be Agent D Splinter can be Agent E and Cloud can be Agent F we will go to the tournament now thank you Agent A” Hath told Agent A “Call me boss from now on. Oh and your first assignment is for one of you to win this tournament and bring the money back so we can spend it on new things” Agent A said Hath nodded and started on his way back “no not that way this way” Agent C shouted pointing to a ladder leading to a door in the roof. The all went to the ladder and climbed up it Hath opened the door and found it was behind the tower “grrrr why didn’t we go this way last time!!!” Hath shouted to Agent B. He didn’t get an answer so he just climbed with Splinter And Cloud. Before either one could say goodbye the door shut “oh well wed best be going…now the tournament arena should be down there” Hath told them pointing east and walking that way. Splinter shouted to Hath “hey we’ve only got an hour to get there wed best hurry!” Splinter grabbed Cloud and Hath and in 2 seconds they were half way up the street Splinter was zooming thru the streets looking for the tournament until he stopped and let go of Hath and Cloud “were here” He said smiling “how the hell do you go that fast!” Hath shouted surprised. Splinter looked at Hath laughed and went into the tournament “he’s quick it must be a trick anyways wed best get entering” Cloud said running after Splinter Hath was left standing speechless…
Chapter 12
The Tournament
Hath Splinter and Cloud went to the Counter and Hath said “wed like to enter the tournament please?” The lady at the counter looked up and said “yes hunny take these and go thru that door run along now” The lady looked down at her papers and carried on what she was doing “dagavou” thought Hath giving Splinter and Cloud a tag. They walked thru the door and found quite a lot of contestants some big some small some fat some thin. “hi hows it going!” shouted Cloud looking around Everyone in the room looked at Cloud like he was nuts. One of them looked up and said “you think you’ve got a chance winning this tournament your like a little kid wearing that mask” Cloud looked at the man walked over to him and whispered “ if im a little kid then why have you got teddy bears on your underwear?” Cloud stepped back and everyone in the room laughed at the man “grrrr ill get you!” He shouted “and buy the way the names Jet Chin remember that fool!” Jet Chin Stood up and walked to the entrance to the arena. Hath could here thunderous cheers for different warriors coming from the outside fans. Cloud took his cloack off and put a kind off lock on his sword to stop people from getting it, he then took of his armour to reveal a black vest made of leather. Clouds muscles were quite huge they made him look like a enormous boulder. Splinter took his Cloack of and hung it up on the wall he had a vest on to which wasn’t the same coulor of his rough orange cloack it was black his pants were held up bye a chain his muscles were quite big for someone so small. Hath looked around at everyone they were all looking at Cloud in wonder and Splinter in amusement “you’ll be laughing later when ive finished with you” Splinter said smiling. Hath took of his Black Cloak and under it was a red vest, black shoes, red pants and an orange belt. Hath pulled his glothes up and cracked his neck. Hathes muscles were not as big as Clouds but still quite big. There was a loud echoing noise in the background saying “first match! Jet Chin v Cloud” Cloud stood up and walked to the entrance to the arena Jet Chin looked at him oddly and said “you’re a dead man” Cloud laughed and started his way out into the squared ring with jet chin following behind him. The voice said again “the rules are all out combat the first outside the base or a KO loses” Jet Chin went into a weird stance balancing on one leg with his knee up Cloud just stood where he was staring at the ground with his eyes closes. Jet Chin thinking this was a time to act charged at Cloud jumped and came down trying to hit Cloud but every time he went to punch him Cloud just dodged it. “Grrrr why can’t I hit you!!” Jet Chin shouted speeding up “your never going to hit me at that speed I might as well finish you of now!” shouted Cloud. Jet Chin jumped back cracked his neck then knuckles and jumped and did a kick at Cloud. Cloud bent back dodging the kick fell back on to his hands and double kicked Jet Chin’s legs making him flip and fall on his face. Cloud jumped over Jet Chin and shouted “come on you can do better than that im not even trying” Jet Chin got up wobbly and unsteady hardly able to stand started trying to punch at Cloud. Cloud getting bored side kicked Jet Chin out of the base threw the arena. “LADYS AND GENTLEMEN!! YOUR WINNER THE BRAVE WARRIOR CLOUD!!!!!!” The voice yelled in amazement there was a deafening cheer for Cloud as he
Looked at Jet Chin smiled and went back to the waiting room. Hath looked at Cloud and said “damn Cloud you could have gone just a bit easier on him he’s only little” Cloud laughed and said “it’s a tournament not a toddler program!” Hath stood up and started punching the wall making cracks in it he then said “I hope one of us gets into the final…” before Hath could finish the voice came again “NEXT MATCH!! SPLINTER v ROCKET!!!!!” someone on the other side of the room stood up he was gargantuan he was about the same size of the building he was wearing rags and had long black curly hair he walked to the entrance making thunderous sounds every step he took. Splinter without a look of being frightened jumped up walked up to the man and shook his hand “lets give it our best” he whispered. They walked it to the base “I guess the big ones Rocket” Hath said. Rocket was much bigger than Splinter but Splinter got in the base with Rocket they bowed and took there stances. Rocket started to run towards Splinter quite fast as Rocket jumped his foot came crashing down on splinter squashing him under the heavy foot. “HERE IS YOUR WINNER!!!…” came the voice but before he could finish there was a glow of white beneath rockets foot. His foot began to come up as did his whole body lifting the body was none other than Splinter but it didn’t look like splinter for he had white hair which was sticking up his arms had grown and his muscles were immense bigger than Clouds. As rocket lifted his foot up again to stamp on Splinter, Splinter disappeared… Rocket looked around for him leaving his guard down Splinter reappeared in front of Rockets Face high in the air “OH GOD!!HES…HES….HES FLYING!!” Hath shouted bewildered. Splinter stared Rocket in the face before flying towards him and slamming his foot into his face knocking him over and out. “LADYS AND GENTLEMEN IN AN IMPRESSIVE DISPLAY OF COURAGE AND BRUTE FORCE I PRESENT YOUR WINNER SPLINTER!!!!!!!” The voice shouted even more startled than before Splinter came floating down his hair went back to his normal purple coulor and his body the same aswell. Splinter walked back to the waiting room to Hath and Cloud and said smiling “that was fun” Hath and Cloud just stared at Splinter as did everyone else in amazement Hath managed to open his mouth and say “how the hell did you do that man…” Splinter looked at Hath and said “I learned” Hath laughed sarcastically. The voice came again “LADYS AND GENTLMEN WE HAVE A VERY SPECIAL PERSON WITH US AND SHE IS ENTERING THIS TOURNAMENT. LADYS AND GENTLEMEN KATE!” There was an immense head blowing cheer louder than the war cry of 10000 soldiers from the anxious crowd.” BUT THAT’S NOT ALL KATE WILL BE FIGHTING CLOUD AND SPLINTERS LEADER HATH!!!” Hath stood up like a bullet and shouted “WHAT KATE!” Hath had a weird look in his eye just like he had when he met Jane. With a bang the door which Hath had entered in slammed opened in came someone in a pink mask covering everything but there eyes. The person was wearing a pink cloak, black boots and pink pants. The person looked at Hath and started to take there cloak off then the person took of there mask…
Chapter 13
A Battle Of The Greats 1
“oh my god Kate what are you doing here!” shouted Hath to the person who was Kate. Kate smiled and said “fighting what do you think?” Hath looked at her in bewilderment and said “but…but…what if you get hurt?” Kate smiled at Hath and said “if I get hurt im going to need a special someone to take care of me…” Hath laughed a bit and then replied “our match is now don’t think im goanna go easy on you cause I…” before Hath could finish the voice form the background shouted out HERE IS THE MATCH YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR LADYS AND GENTLE YOUR NEXT BATTLE HATH v KATE” “there was an even louder roar of applause and cheers than before. Kate went to the entrance and looked around outside she turned around and shouted “come on then im not waiting all day for you!” Hath looked at Kate like she was asking for a fight he smiled and went to the entrance “ok but you might get hurt…” Hath said to Kate. Kate smiled and started on her way to the base as she left the waiting room there was an ear-splitting cheer she turned and winked at Hath like a sign of come on your taking to long. Hath walked up to the base looking round at the large crowd he saw that the loud voice was coming from a man at the side of the base. As half entered the base Kate looked at him as shed never looked at him before she looked fierce and ready to attack any moment “HEY HATH!!!” shouted Cloud out of the waiting room Hath turned to say what but as he did Kate came flying at Hath kicking him everywhere. Hath was being beaten by a girl all over the place Kate had incredible power but Hath now knowing he could fight back Kate came charging at him Hath jumped up twirled in the air facing Kate and started to fight back with incredible speed. The crowd weren’t saying a thing until someone shouted “come on Kate” another man next to him, shouted “we want Hath!!!” the whole crowd went bizarre cheering Kate and Hath at the same time. Kate jumped up and kicked Hath in the jaw Hath stumbled back Kate having another chance to hit him ran and roundhouse kicked him but Hath put his arm up and blocked it. He grabbed Kate’s leg and started side kicking her in the stomach. Kate the leg Hath was kicking her with jumped sideways and kicked him in the face a number of times before falling to the ground and taking Hath’s legs to make him trip. Kate flung herself up rolling in the air and came stomping on Hath. Hath seeing this moved out the way dodging Kate from standing on him. Kate then went after Hath again punching and kicking at a tremendous speed. Hath jumped up backwards and started to block some of Kate’s punches he then slammed his foot in the side of her head. Kate stumbled sideways like a train had just hit her again Hath sped to her and then kicked her stomach sending her flying to the other side of the base. Hath now thinking this was is chance once again sped towards Kate but before he could get any nearer Kate did something out of the ordinary she disappeared. Hath was left on the base alone thinking where Kate was. He stood staring at the spot where Kate was and walked over to it “Kate come’ on stop messin around…” but before Hath could finish his sentence Kate was stood behind him. She tapped him on the shoulder to make him turn around jumped up and double kicked Hath. In a moment Hath was gone there was no sight of him at all. “LADYS AND GENTLEMEN HERE IS YOUR WINNER….” But before the voice could finish his sentence someone shouted from above “hey she aint won yet, it aint over” everybody looked up it was Hath flying “you aint the only one who can disappear and fly” Hath yelled down at Kate. Kate yelled back up “ok then lets finish this!!!!” Kate flew up ready to fight Hath just floated in the same spot waiting for Kate. Kate then flew at Hath trying to hit him in the ribs but Hath kept blocking them with his arms. He then took a kick at Kate’s leg. Kate watching Hath’s movements now took hold of his leg swung him round extremely fast like a whirlwind. No one could see what she was doing only Hath Also blocking her from hitting him. Hath was being beaten he new he had to do something but wouldn’t do it, “ have to” he thought. Outside the tornado the crowd was anxious to know what was happening but inside the tornado there was a silver light. The tornado began to slow down there was a huge light pounding to the side of the tornado. In a flash the tornado was blown apart Kate was left floating but she was leaning over she then started to fall towards the ground. Hath looked totally different his hair had gone form yellow to silver his face was covered in a mask. His cloak reached from his neck to his boots and his clothes were the same. Hath flew down after Kate catching her as she was about to hit the ground “LADYS AND GENTLEMEN IN AN IMPRESSING DISPLAY OF BATTLE HERE IS YOUR WINNER HATH” the voice shouted. “Kate? Kate? You with me?” Hath shouted poking Kate. She moved her head and moaned a bit before fainting. “I new I should have not done that” Hath thought taking Kate back to the waiting room. Cloud looked at Hath as he was coming in he thought to himself “how could anyone so stubborn have so much power…” Hath put Kate down on a bench and knelt by her pushing her shoulder trying to wake her up. “NEXT ROUND!! YOUR CHAMPION…” the voice shouted over the noise the crowd was making “ YOUR CHAMPION…. XEROXED V JANE!!” Cloud shot up like hath did and shouted “OH GOD NOT HER!!!” on one of the benches near Hath a woman stood up it was Jane “grrrr…. Its her…” Hath thought. Near Cloud a man stood up a fair big guy he was muscular around his chest most. He had brown pants on and a brown shirt which had had the sleeves torn off. His hands were probably the biggest things on his body until Hath looked down at the mans legs…they were huge!! But as Hath looked at his waist he saw a golden belt with a big circle in the middle of it “oh you’re the champion!” Hath shouted. The man looked at Hath grunted and walked over to the base with Jane. They bowed to each other and the man who was Xeroxed charged at Jane with his fist up. “hope she dies!” Cloud said “she’s a psyched woman that Jane she just about made me broke that ungrateful… “ but before Cloud could say anymore Jane had grabbed Xeroxed whole arm swung him around and threw him across the base and landing flat on his face. Xeroxed got up slowly he was furious Hath could tell that just by looking at him. Jane on the other hand was as calm as a sea at peace she was mocking Xeroxed bye playing with her nails. “HOW DARE YOU!!!” Xeroxed shouted outraged. He again charged at Jane and put his head forward ready to bash Jane out of the base. As he was about to hit her she put her hand out and grabbed his head “oh really??….what you going to do crush me!” Jane yelled kicking Xeroxed up in the air. As he was coming back down she started kicking him back up and again he came down and she just kicked him back up. This went on for a long time until Jane was getting bored so she jumped up punched his ribs making him fly across the ring and again making him fall on his face. “I know you can fight better than that…” Jane shouted. “YOU WANT TO SEE MY TRUE POWER THEN BEHOLD MY RATH!!” Xeroxed yelled towards Jane jumping up. There was an explosion beneath Xeroxed sending a pulse of air smashing the base. Xeroxed now doing the same as splinter and Hath changing his whole body. His white hair had gone up and his muscular body more muscular. “HOWS THIS FOR POWER!!” Xeroxed boomed across the base. “still not good enough” Jane replied smiling. “FINE THEN SHOW ME!!!” Xeroxed shouted flying at Jane with his fists ready to punch. Jane not showing a sign of afraidness walked towards Xeroxed and slammed her foot in his face making him fly right across the base. Xeroxed again hit the floor rolling he stopped rolling jumped up and went crazy with rage “THAT’S IT IVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU…YOU WEAK MORTAL!” Xeroxed boomed. Xeroxed now turned into a dark ball of darkness it turned small then grew big again it turned into a portal thing and then went back into a dark human shape. The shape grew wings then came horns from its head its feet turned spiked and then its whole body started having spikes come from it. “Oh god not this please not this!” Cloud yelled over the roaring sound of the wind. “WHATS HAPPENING!!” Hath shouted trying to stop himself from slamming into the wall. All the people in the room flew outside into the base each one started turning into a creature of some sort which looked like the dark warriors Hath was fighting “you don’t want to know what’s happening! But ill tell you this…if we don’t stop this then the world as we know it will be at risk!” Cloud shouted Putting his arm in front of his face to stop the dust getting in his eyes. Hath looked up and saw someone walking up to the base the person turned and looked at Hath he had a cloak on and a hood covering his face. In an instant the person turned into a small white orb sphere and disappeared. “what was that….” Whispered Hath. “come on we have to get Jane or else she’s done for!” Cloud yelled at Hath Grabbing his arm and flying into the base. “Jane lets get out of here or else were doomed!” Cloud yelled at Jane grabbing her arm. “Get of ive been waiting for this moment since I was a child…to face the emperor!” Cloud scrunched his face at Jane and shouted “if you want to die then die but if you want to live and fight this guy another day then lets get out of here!!!” Cloud Shouted again knowing he should go. “NO LEAVE ME!” Jane cried “if you cant do a job do it like this if it’s a girl!” Hath shouted punching Jane in the face and knocking her out. Cloud picked her up grabbed Hath again and then closes his eyes…
Chapter 14
The Evolution
“WAIT WHAT ABOUT KATE!! SHES STILL IN THE WAITING ROOM!” Hath yelled over the roaring wind Cloud opened his eyes looked towards the waiting room and shouted “OK BUT WELL HAVE TO GET HER QUICK!” Cloud let go of Hath. Hath flew towards the waiting room at the fastest he’d ever been he picked Kate up then thought to himself “our weapons and clothes!” Hath put the clothes leaning on Kate and held the swords in his hand. He flew back to Cloud and shouted “lets go!!!” Cloud looked at Kate then the clothes and asked, “Where’s splinter?” Hath now looking puzzled shouted “HE CAN TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF ANYWAYS I THINK HE LEFT!” Cloud grabbed Haths arm and again closed his eyes… “OK XEROXED BEFORE I GO IM GONNA GIVE YOU A GOING AWAY PRESENT!!!” Hath yelled Cloud stamped on Haths foot and shouted to him “no not today another day but its to dangerous now!” Hath nodded his head in agreement “I suppose….” After Hath had said that there was a weird multicoloured opening in the air in an instant they were sucked in to it. All Hath could see was colours around him in a circle he turned his head and saw Cloud still holding on to Jane with his eyes closed. Cloud opened his eyes immediately the circle stopped they all fell on the ground apart from Cloud who was standing and they were on grass. Hath got up and shaked his head “Cloud were are we!” Hath shouted looking round “this….this is my home…” Cloud told him picking the others up and walking towards a huge building “WOAH THAT’S A BIG BUILDING!” Hath yelled, “it’s a castle” Cloud mumbled. They walked round the castle until they found a huge door Cloud knocked someone knocked back and said, “who is it?” Cloud replied “ Its Cloud…I have returned…” The man yelled to someone else “EVERYBODY ITS CLOUD!!! CLOUD IS BACK LOWER THE GATES RING THE BELLS CLOUDS BACK!” Hath looked at Cloud and asked “are you really this popular and anyways I thought you said your home had been destroyed plus you said you’d fallen out of the stars” Cloud laughed at Hath and replied “ yes…yes I did fall out of the stars because we are in the stars now this…this is the sky…. And my home down there was just a little hut I didn’t know if I could trust you but now I know you’re the choo….” But before Cloud could finish his sentence the gate had been lowered and a woman had come out and hugged him “oh Cloud my son…you have returned!!!” Cloud looked mesmerized he then asked softly mother??…. is it really you I thought you had been killed by Xeroxed army!” Clouds mother looked up and as she did Hath saw on her leg there was a cut for she was in rags as was the others she then said “I got out just barley… there was a war well there is a war but that started it when the emperors forces came and attacked us please may we talk about this inside we are not protected out here…oh… you’ve brought visitors! Please come in as well you must be starving and well heal your friends up” Cloud went to his mother’s ear and whispered, “ he is the chosen one…” Hath didn’t hear what he said but the woman was shocked she took some gold out of her pocket and bowed before Hath “MOTHER!! Please get up he does not know…I fear he isn’t ready…” Cloud told his mother dragging her up Hath looked puzzled again he was about to ask what Cloud said but the woman grasped his arm and walked into the castle with him. When she got into the castle she headed her way to a temple as they neared the temple Hath could see pictures of a man on the temple it looked as though he was killing some monsters they looked like the ones that Xeroxed made out of everyone at the tournament. Hath thought to himself “they were attacked by them…” The woman tapped Hath’s shoulder put her finger to her mouth telling him to keep quiet and opened the door to the temple. Hath turned to look at Cloud but he wasn’t there Hath shrugged his shoulders and walked inside the temple with the woman. Inside the temple was made of bright colours the sun was shining on a mirror, which was reflecting of some more mirrors to make the temple light up. Hath walked forwards still gazing round until someone asked in a quite voice “is this the one…” Hath looked turned his head swiftly and saw the man that asked the question. The man was old he had long grey hair and a beard that reached down to the floor. He was big and wore a red cloak, which was covered in sequins he couldn’t see under his cloak for his long beard. The woman next to Hath said, “Yes…this is the one…” The man walked round Hath inspecting him and then told the woman “leave us be…” The woman nodded her head smiled at Hath and left the temple. The man turned to look at Hath again he then said in a low wispy voice “you are confused…don’t be you are here for a special reason…let me tell you why you’re here first…” Hath stared the man in the eye and asked “how about I get your name then you tell me why I’m here for I don’t talk to people I don’t know…” The old man laughed then coughed he then said to Hath “my name?… my name is Roshi the wise teacher…now I’m going to tell you why you’re here.” Hath made an evil stare at Roshi and said “go on then tell me…tell me why im here then” Roshi went to a chair pulled two out and sat on one “sit on this chair and I will begin…” Hath went to sit on the chair but as he sat down Roshi pulled it back so he fell on the ground “your not very wise…we should work on that” Roshi said pulling Hath up and placing him on the chair “why did you just do that??” Roshi laughed and said, “shut up! And listen to me!” Hath sat up nodded his head and didn’t have the mean look on his face anymore. “You are here because…. you are the choosen one… you have been brought here to protect the world… but before you can do this I must teach you the ways of the universe…” Roshi said standing up and walking round with his hands behind his back. “Attack me… let me see your power…” Hath got up walked over to Roshi and said “your serious…?” Roshi nodded his head and smiled. Hath threw a punch at him but Roshi grabbed his hand twirled him in the air and threw him into a pillar holding up the wall. The pillar broke a bit but didn’t fall Hath got up rubbing his back and asked in a low voice “cant we fight somewhere else there’s not enough room here” Roshi laughed at Hath and told him “yes…” Roshi clapped his hands and in an instant they were in a enormous field Hath stepped back with his hands stretched behind him “nice trick…” Hath commented on Roshi. Roshi then said “give me your best all of your power into trying to beat me…” Hath grinned and nodded his head. Hath tensed all his body and started to become stronger there was a bright light and a shockwave of air flew across the field. After the light had gone Hath stood there in his power appearance ready to fight “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!” Hath screamed the light was back but this time lightning started to strike round Hath his cloak flew off him and his eyes went from gold to silver. Roshi looked at Hath in amazement then shouted, “You are the choosen one!!! Now show me your skills!” Hath disappeared out of Roshis sight in an instant he was standing in front of Roshi. Hath kicked Roshi miles in the field but before Roshi could hit the ground Hath disappeared again then appeared below Roshi he flew up and punched Roshi upwards. Hath flew above Roshi again and elbowed him down making him hit the ground at tremendous speed. Dust flew about everywhere making it impossible to see Hath covered his eyes waiting for the dust to disappear. As it disappeared Hath didn’t see Roshi anywhere “huh?” He murmured before being kicked from behind making him zoom further than he kicked Roshi across the field. Roshi flew behind him and started punching and kicking him from behind. Roshi flew above Hath and put his hands together and knocked Hath towards the ground. Hath opened his eyes and saw Roshi flying at him at a tremendous speed Hath disappeared as Roshi went to kick him Hath appeared at the Side of Roshi and kicked his face then Roshi grabbed Hath‘s foot twisted it as he did in the temple and threw him towards the ground. Hath hit the ground injuring himself he put his hand to his head and found there was blood on it “you…. you….you made me bleed…” Hath whispred to Roshi who was standing at the side of him “We need to work on your fighting power and skill” Roshi told Hath helping him up “we shall carry on once we have eaten” Roshi clapped his hands again and they were back in the temple Hath looked around again and said “your going to have to teach me that…” but before he could finish the temple door slammed opened and there was a woman breathing heavily she shouted with a gasp of air “ ATTACK!!!! HELP THERE BACK THERE ATTACKING!!!” Roshi turned to the woman and walked towards her. He put his hand on her back and said “ My child do not worry for the chosen one is here…” The woman looked up at Hath she opened her mouth in amazement then she threw her self on the flow and shouted “oh chosen one help us please the enemy is attacking and our forces our small!!” Hath looked like he was about to run for it but he quickly regained himself and said “yea…sure…ok ill help…are the others awake?” The woman nodded and moved out of the way to show that Cloud, Jane and Kate where standing there with there weapons. Cloud threw Hath’s sword at Hath letting him catch it and attaching it to his belt. Hath smiled and said, “lets do it…”
Chapter 15
The Battle
Hath, Cloud, Kate and Jane walked up the steps letting them see what they were up against. As they looked there were hundreds and thousands of warriors and monsters “oh my god…” Jane whispered looking at the army Hath told Jane “don’t worry… our army and us should be just enough to keep them back until we get reinforcements…” Jane looked worried and started stepping back. “JANE WE HAVE TO FIGHT OR ELSE THIS TRIBE WILL BE DESTROYED!!” Kate yelled wielding two circular razors in each hand “I don’t know about you guys but I’m fighting!!!” Kate yelled. Someone in a uniform like Clouds ran up to Hath and reported, “ Our army is small but with you 4 we shall win! Now… the enemies are closing in fast we must act quickly” Hath drew his sword and replied “then we attack now!!” all the Cloud warriors drew there swords and bows. The archers started to fire arrows towards the enemies and the foot soldiers ran out of the gate towards Xeroxed’s army. Hath, Kate, Cloud and Jane all jumped over the wall drawing there weapons Hath drew his sword and twirled it round. Kate put one of her blades back and one in front of her like a stance of some kind. Cloud just drew his sword knelt on the floor leaning on his sword. Jane on the other hand drew something totally from the others she drew something that had a large spiky sword on either side of it and a place in the middle to put her hand. “ok guys on the count of three….” Hath said “one… two…. THREE!! ATTACK!!” Hath started to charge towards the army along with Jane, Kate and Cloud. Hath got the first blow to an enemy warrior wielding a spear Hath sliced the spear in jumped up and double kicked the warrior knocking him on the ground. Hath twirled his sword again and stabbed the warrior threw his stomach turned around and sliced another warriors head of. Kate was next attacking she jumped over a warrior wielding a sword, threw one of her blades into his back and threw her other at his head slicing it off making a clean cut on the neck. Jane charged at 4 enemies turned her weapon sideways and stabbed two of them in the gut. She then took her weapon out of the warrior’s guts killing them twized around slicing one of the other’s arms of making him fall to the ground on his knees holding his arm. She slit the others neck killing him and then went back to the other stabbing her weapon threw the side of his head. Cloud was still standing in the same place as before staring round at the warriors circling him. One of them came charging at Cloud rasing his sword above his head made an attack on Cloud’s shoulder. Cloud put his sword up blocking the blow he then took a small blade out of his pocket and rammed it into the enemies’ neck killing him. The others then came charging at him trying to hit Cloud but he was to quick he was evading every attack they made. The warriors then stepped back a bit raised there swords above there heads then in union came crashing down on clouds head. Cloud put his hand up grabbing all of the swords he then twirled round knocking them all on the ground and then jumped up and threw some more little blades at them killing them in a bloody mess. In Haths space Hath was killing people by the minute slicing their heads of and stabbing them. Hath stabbed one of the warriors in the stomach with the side of his blade he then sliced his sword up cutting the warriors face. “THIS IS TO EASY!” Hath yelled to his acquaintances. Xerox’s army was being beaten in a blood-spattering battle one of the enemies shouted to the others “RETREAT!! THIS IS A BATTLE WE CANNOT WIN!” The Army started to retreat running to the hills “RUN AWAY AND DON’T COME BACK!” Hath yelled to them. Cloud put his hand towards the army and then a bright light appeared in front of it. “DIE!!” Cloud shouted firing a great white beam towards the army making a cloud of dust so nobody could see…After the dust had gone most of the army had been wiped out bodies were scattered across the ground lifeless and full of blood coming out of them. The others from the army all turned to look at Cloud and froze in shock Cloud put his hand up to take out the rest but Jane grabbed his arm and said “no… don’t….” Cloud looked at Jane with an evil gaze and shouted “WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING THESE GUYS ARE GONNA DESTROY THE UNIVERSE LET GO OF ME OR ELSE IM GONNA MAKE YOU!” Jane twisted Clouds arm kicked his leg making him fall to the ground and put her knee on his neck. “DON’T YOU DARE THREATIN ME!!” Jane shouted pressing her knee down harder chocking Cloud. Cloud kicked Jane’s head from behind making her soar into the mountain that the castle was on. Dust wafted about near the mountain Cloud fell to his knees holding his neck and rubbing it, He slowly got up eyeing the place where Jane was when the dust cleared Jane was left in a bloody mess in the mountain Cramped up in a kind of crouch. “JANE!!” Kate cried running towards Jane and kneeling beside her “JANE JANE WAKE UP PLEASE WAKE UP!” Kate cried holding her hand. Kate put her ear to Kate’s heart she slowly got up again and walked over to Clouds side and whispered, “you better watch your attitude or else your going to lose everything you’ve got…especially the people that care for you…” Kate walked back to Jane and picked her up, put her on her shoulder and walked into the castle. Hath saw that Jane had took quite a hit and said to Cloud “that aint no way to treat a woman…” Hath then walked into the castle turned around and Cloud was still standing in the same spot Hath sighed and went inside the castle. Cloud still stood there eyeing the sun as if it was a sign he thought to himself “what does she mean people who love me…” Cloud heard footsteps he turned and saw a ninja but it wasn’t like the ones hed just battled this one was different. This one had dark blue clothing from his boots to his head and only his eyes were visible he had a katana in his hand Cloud new that the ninja was going to try to kill him. Cloud walked towards the ninja and said “if you don’t leave… then all hell is goanna break lose here…” The ninja stepped back for a moment then he stopped looked Cloud in the eye and whispered “then all hell is goanna break lose…” With that the ninja jumped at Cloud and started to slash at him Cloud dropped his swords ran and tackled the ninja to the ground and started punching him in the jaw. Cloud stood up picking the ninja up and started to slam his fists into his stomach the ninja dropped his katana and on the mask he had blood started to drip. Cloud threw him on the ground and started to stamp on his head Hath was watching all of this and said to Roshi who was also watching him said “he is full of rage… and anger…” Roshi turned to Hath and told him “Hath you are beginning to understand the line of protectors…as I said before…you are the next protector for this world…for this universe…” Roshi said them words like the wind blowing threw the grass he said them swift and calmly. Meanwhile Cloud was still pounding the blue ninja all over the place the ninja was crawling backwards on the floor with his hand up and shouting to him “please…no more…. aw…. I beg!! Cloud picked him up once more and put his hand to the ninjas stomach. Clouds hand began to light up again and then a large beam shot out of it. Cloud dropped him on the floor and when he fell on the ground there was a huge whole in his stomach blood was spilling out of his mouth and most of his guts were hanging out of his stomach. Hath made a step back and Roshi’s eyes beamed in disbelief “i…I…. I don’t believe it! It isn’t true!!” Roshi cried inching his way backwards. Cloud swerved his head and looked at Roshi and Hath, He started to walk towards them and as he got closer Hath realised something different about him. Cloud’s eyes had gone from silver to red his sword had turned to a bloodlust flame of fire. He stared at Roshi then he turned his head and looked at Hath Cloud put his hand up and pointed to Hath then shouted in a croaky rough voice “you!! Come and fight!!” Hath looked at Cloud not being able to refuse whispered to Roshi “that isn’t the Cloud we know…there’s something wrong with him and I’m going to find out what…” Roshi turned to Hath with his hands together and said calmly “ Cloud is full of love…he just doesn’t understand what it is…he is also well…he is also one of the sons of the emperor…” Hath’s eyes opened wide his blood boiling with anger disgust and a bit of hatred he then said “is that so… well before we carry on this chitchat I’m goanna go knock some sense into Cloud” with that Hath jumped of the side of the castle down the mountain and hit the ground landing on his feet. Hath drew his sword swirled it about and pointed it at Cloud; Cloud drew his flame sword and made a fire circle round him. “Cloud what’s wrong tell me” Hath shouted Cloud just kept on staring at Hath and then replied, “you are not the chosen one there is no chosen one! There is only an emperor! Not stupid chosen ones who think that the emperors forces are going to destroy the universe” Cloud said it in a fiery roar. Hath stepped forward a step then shouted again “SNAP OUT OF IT CLOUD YOUR NOT THINKING STARIGHT! THE EMPEROR IS MESSING WITH YOUR MIND!” Cloud didn’t listen he just smirked at Hath. Cloud started to run towards Hath at a high speed with his hand stretched out ready to blow a hole in Hath. Cloud’s hand lit up then a giant red beam came out of it Hath jumped aside letting the beam hit the mountain. Cloud then slashed at Hath’s head Hath put his sword up and blocked the blow just in time. He then kicked Cloud down on the ground and put his sword to his neck “go on do it… you’ll like it!” Cloud yelled. Hath started to be agitated to rather kill Cloud or just step away and probably be killed instead. “don’t make me Cloud I know its not you in there…” Hath growled Cloud laughed and then replied, “c’mon Hath kill me!!! KILL ME!!!” Hath stepped back releasing the sword from his neck. Cloud looked up at Hath got up and said “your weak…you cant even kill me…your a weak scrawny little warrior who thinks that he can just save the world any day!” Hath dropped his sword then turned his head slowly to Cloud… “Ok Cloud maybe…just maybe…you’ll just snap out of this trance before I destroy you…” Hath whispered walking towards Cloud “HUH! IT CAN’T BE! YOU…YOU…YOU ARENT YOU CANT BE THE CHOOSEN ONE! AND YOU WILL NEVER DESTROY ME!!!” Cloud yelled. Hath flew at Cloud full speed kicked his sword out of his hand and with his other leg he kicked him in the head. Cloud went flying into a hill making a cloud of dust wafting around, “ARGH! YOU CANT WIN! NEVER!” Cloud yelled pulling himself up bleeding from his head. “I warned you…you rather turn back to the normal Cloud…or I’m a going to destroy you…” Hath said walking towards Cloud again. Cloud jumped up and started to blast up his power sent a shock wave of air nearly knocking Hath over Cloud’s eyes went darker red he grew jagged spiky red outlined wings. His sleeves ripped, and his cloak flew off then he said, “Now…try to beat the new Cloud!” Hath staggered backwards in shock. “No…no…stop Cloud! STOP!” Hath yelled, but it was to late Cloud lifted his sword above his head and shouted “ARMOGEDDON!!” there was a thunder that shook the clouds the sky went red and then a spark from above. “HATH GET DOWN! TAKE COVER! HIDE!” Hath turned and saw Roshi shouting he looked back at Cloud and then in the sky… Fireballs were raining down everywhere Hath started running towards a gap in the mountain shouting “RRRRRRUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNN!!!!” a fireball almost hit him but he was just in time jumping to the left rolling out of its way. Another fireball came flying at him he was sprawled out on the floor dazed, Hath shook his head opened his eyes and saw it coming down on him. He rolled out of the way again dodging it but the flames of the impact burnt his arm. Hath dragged him self up grabbing his arm in pain he limped towards the mountain in pain but yet again another flame ball came down Hath turned and saw it. He couldn’t run so he put his hand up and shot a beam separating the fire Hath began to get to the mountain again limping worse for the force. Cloud still had his sword in the air with his eyes closed Hath was getting mad he turned towards Cloud with a mean expression “CLOUD STOP!” Hath yelled. Cloud didn’t answer he was being controlled by something…something powerful. A huge fireball came down behind Cloud and knocked Cloud over he was unconscious. “CLOUD! NO!” Hath shouted running towards Cloud dodging all the fireballs at speed. He slid next to Cloud and put him on his shoulders. “its alright Cloud…ill save you…” Cloud whispered running into the mountain gap.
Chapter 16
A Cure From Brothers…
Hath put cloud down in a not so damp part of the cave. He looked around and saw stalactites, stalagmites and different parts of rocks. Hath knelt down beside Cloud and pulled one of his eyes open, The redness had gone his eyes went white again and his wings began to sink into his body. There was a low gush of wind and then a low voice saying “your friend has been poisoned…he is going to die…there is only one cure which you wont get in time!! MUHAHAHAHAHA!” Hath shot up looking around shouted “WHO’S THERE?” the wind howled and whined. Hath’s hair blew backwards his hair stuck up he started looking about trying to see where the voice was coming from “Hath…. You don’t know who I am…but I know who you are… we will meet one day… and fight…. the winner…will… face the demons of the underworld…. And destroy the underworld…. Whoever does that… gets to use the army of death…to destroy, conquer and rule…. or they can destroy the army…so no one else may use it….” The voice whispered Hath thought for a minute then he whispered, “I know who you are…” Hath smiled wielding his sword. The voice laughed then whispered “you will never know who I am….” Hath stepped around then looked up and yelled “COME ON XEROXED IM GONNA TAKE YOU OUT RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW!” The voice howled loud then shouted shaking the cave “HOW DARE YOU CHALLENGE ME! GRRRRR…. IF YOU WANT TO FIGHT THEN… I SHALL DESTROY YOU HERE!” The cave trembled the wind kicked up at an enormous speed blowing Hath out of the cave and Cloud into the wall. Hath flew out of the cave and fell on the floor rolling about hitting his head on rocks. The fireballs had stopped which was a good thing but the bad thing was the cave had collapsed there was no way in… or out… “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! CLOUD!” Hath yelled running towards the cave. Hath pounded on the rocks breaking a few but then there was a huge beam blowing the rocks apart and sending Hath flying backwards again. Hath pushed himself up he couldn’t see anything apart from smoke, out of the smoke a foot came flying into Hath making him slide across the floor. “Hath I warned you… you can’t beat me… you cant see anything… lucky for me I can…” Xeroxed shouted from the smoke “oh yea… well I picked up a trick or two on the way here…” Hath replied standing up. “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!” Hath screamed blasting for power. The power of the shockwave of air cleared the smoke and then he saw him…. Xeroxed was stood there with his arm in front of his face covering the dust from getting to his eyes. His black craggy, torn spiky wings spread out horns came out of his head he wore black shoulder armour with spikes coming out of them. His hair was long straight and black leather boots, leather brown pants black gloves and armour dark as the darkest night. Xeroxed lowered his arm revealing his red bloodshot snake eyes, He stared at Hath for a minute then said “your pretty smart…I never new… that I… no…no…you cant be…” before Xeroxed could finish his sentence Hath’s power began to grow “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!” Hath yelled. The whole landscape shook the castle started breaking “HATH STOP BEFORE THE CASTLE FALLS!” it was Cloud resting on a rock with his hand in front of him. Hath stopped powering up electricity started striking round him “Cloud?” Hath whispered “CLOUD ITS YOU, YOUR ALIVE! THANK GOD…” after Hath had said them few words Xeroxed had come flying at him and shoulder barged him knocking him back. “HA!” Xeroxed yelled laughing Hath got up and stared at Xeroxed evilly. He spat on the ground and started to walk towards Xeroxed “yea right! You’re a goner!” Xeroxed started punching at Hath but Hath kept disappearing and reappearing near him. “Die. Die! Die Die Die!” Xeroxed kept shouting every punch missing. Hath side handed Xeroxed sending him flying to the ground Hath picked Xeroxed up by the legs swung him round and flew him into the mountain. Hath shot a beam towards Xeroxed but Xeroxed kicked it out of the way and fired one back, which was curving and spinning. Hath just caught it with no trouble and threw it back making Xeroxed dive out of the way “so…you may be powerful than me at this moment in time but…” Xeroxed shouted pulling him self up “BUT WAT?” Hath yelled holding a giant ball of power above his head “Hath… when your father was killed… we both lost a father…” Xeroxed shouted “I have a brother you know…” Hath began to sweat and get worried he knew what was coming. “Hath… YOU ARE MY BROTHER!!” Xeroxed yelled pointing at Hath. The whole castle went silent Jane who had woken heard it just as she was eating some bread Kate on the other hand said shed already eaten but when she heard what Xeroxed just said she began to walk out… “NO HOW COULD YOU…BE MY BROTHER! I DON’T HAVE A BROTHER OR A FAMILY!” Hath yelled breathing heavily for air. “Well Hath… just as I was torturing father… he told me…. I wasn’t bothered in the slightest but he… he was very concerned… he told me to tell you that how to beat me is to…no I’m not going to tell you…” Xeroxed yelled. Hath began to weaken, the ball of energy disappeared and he began to fall. “Your weak… I don’t have the time to deal with you… rooma Shadow and shade come!” Xeroxed said pointing in front of him. Three dark blobs shot out of his hand and started to merge into forms of bodies. “I will be leaving you now… I’m sure my minions will finish you of with pleasure…” Xeroxed turned and disappeared leaving no trace behind. The shapes had now taken form the first one Rooma was a skeleton warrior wearing black and purple armour, a cape and wielding his sword. The second Shade emerged into a human form but he was all black even his skin pitch black from toe to head wielding a black axe. The third one emerged shadow… He was grey wearing a helmet with breath holes in it. He was covered in armour his weapons were short stainless steal blades and something that looked like Haths pistol but bigger attached to Shadows arm. “Who are you guys… and whats that on your arm?” Hath asked getting his energy back also suspicious at the weapon. Shadow stepped forward pulled his arm up looked at his weapon and said, “This… this is a futuristic weapon… not from the time when the agents came from! This is called a blaster…” Hath looked at the blaster then drew his pistol “the agents… they said something about duelling in the time they came from… it sounded fun… wanna try?” Hath asked spinning his pistol. “Ok then lets duel!” Shadow shouted making it sound easy. Shadow explained the rules they turned around and took 10 steps waited for a moment then Shadow whispered to Rooma and darkness “as soon as he shoots… attack him”. Hath and Shadow spun round and fired there guns Hath saw Shadow start stepping back and holding his arm but Hath’s vision started going blurry again he felt a sharp pain in the side of his stomach he knew what had happened…hed been hit. The pain was intensifying the bullet had skinned threw the side of his stomach Hath grabbed the side of his stomach and fell to the ground bleeding and not moving… Shadow Shade and Rooma crowded round Hath and started beating him and kicking him in the head “HATH!!” Kate yelled running towards him. Kate reached him jumped in the air kicked Shadow down then Shade but didn’t get Rooma. Rooma round-housed Kate knocking her to the floor “silly little girl!” Rooma said raising his arm to blow a whole in Kate but before he could do it Rooma felt himself get hit which sent him floating threw the air and landing on his stomach. “Cloud!” Kate yelled in tears of joy “your back…” Kate hugged Cloud, so he hugged her back thinking it was the right thing to do. Cloud looked at Hath… he wasn’t moving or breathing “Kate…take Hath to Roshi he’ll know what to do ill take care of these guys…” Cloud told Kate she gasped and put her hand to her mouth “DO IT!” Cloud shouted powering up an energy ball in his hands. Kate nodded picked up Hath with difficulty and took him inside the castle “ILL SEND REINFORCEMENTS DON’T WORRY!” Kate yelled. Shadow Shade and Rooma gathered together and Shade said, “how do you think that you are going to defeat us!” Cloud smiled “I believe it is I who should be saying that for you are all week…” Cloud replied now starting to feel the energy from the ball. “BALLISTIC BALL!” Cloud yelled firing the ballistic ball towards them. They all froze in shock the ballistic ball started to multiply and they all headed towards Shadow Shade and Rooma. One hit Rooma sending him flying backwards another 2 hit Shade sending him flying two ways for they had split him in Half “gaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrr!” Shade screamed. The last dozen all aimed at Shadow for he was the so called the strongest he proved he was by knocking every one out of the way then powering up a razor disk “DISK OF DOOM!” Shadow shouted without hesitation he fired it towards Cloud. Cloud drew his sword and sliced the disk out of the way Shadow drew his blades and attacked Shadow. They were going about the same speed fighting Cloud jumped upside down in the air spinning and still attacking and landed behind Shadow. Cloud leaped forward nearly stabbing Shadow but Shadow moved just in time by cartwheeling to the side. Cloud then heard a noise or noises that sounded like someone drawing a sword and like a clanking of an axe. Cloud turned and saw Shade and Rooma walking towards him carrying an axe and a sword. “Oh oh…” Cloud thought. Cloud started turning his head one-way to look at Shade and Rooma and the other way to watch Shadow from jumping him. Cloud started getting dizzy he had an ach in his head “arrrrrrrr…. no! Don’t please!” Cloud whined to himself “AARRR NOT NOW! AAAAAAAARR HHHUURRR” Cloud began to change shape he changed shape into an angel like form. His skin turned white he wore a grey metal helmet, steel gloves, white wings, blue pants, black boots and a sort of x on his body. He clenched his fist and then a staff was there “WAT!! WHO! WHEN! WHO ARE YOU!” Shade sort of asked. Cloud turned to Shade pointed his staff at him then out of the end came a blue light which sent Shade flying then he said “I am the extended version of Cloud… Cloud 2…” Rooma ran at Cloud 2 and sliced at his legs but as he hit them it didn’t even make a scratch! Rooma hit it with everything he had got but it didn’t do anything, not even a scratch. Cloud two put his hand in Rooma’s face and sent a shockwave of air at him making him slide into a rock “YOUR MAD WE NEED TO GET OUTTA HERE!” Shadow shouted pulling Shade and Rooma together and throwing them threw a teleporter hed just conjured following them in. Cloud 2 fell to his knees and then slowly turned back to the old Cloud. Cloud fell to the floor out cold Jane and Kate came rushing out and saw Cloud on the floor “CLOUD NO!” Jane cried running next to Cloud. Jane knelt beside Cloud and started pushing him to try and make him wake up “please Cloud wake up…sniff… please wake up…” Jane sobbed at the side of Cloud in tears. Kate walked to the side of Cloud and put two fingers to his neck “he’s still alive… quick get him to Roshi!” Kate shouted in joy. Jane looked up and managed a smile she helped Kate carry him inside to the temple where Roshi and Hath where waiting. Hath was dressed in white robes down looking like a monk. “Quickly put him here, take Hath to eat Jane you stay here…” Roshi told them. Jane put Cloud down on a little stone table and knelt beside twitching. Kate took Hath’s hand and led him to the hall “why are you holding my hand…” Hath asked Kate smiled looked at Hath and whispered, “Because I love you…” Hath now had a thousand thought going threw his head he didn’t know what to say. “How about I love you to?” Kate asked Hath nodded and then said “ok… I love you two…” They hugged and went into the great hall and started to eat. Meanwhile Roshi was doing different things on Cloud to find out what was wrong with him. “Jane… Cloud can only be healed by the person who loves him… and who he loves…” Roshi whispered looking at Jane. “He doesn’t love anyone…” Jane cried she picked up a dagger and tried to stab herself with it, before Roshi grabbed it and told her “The person you love is about to die…” Roshi breathed up hard stood up and walked around. One of Jane’s tears landed on Clouds head there was a low gust of wind Roshi turned to Jane “JANE! HES ALIVE! YOU DID IT!” Roshi shouted stopped her “WHAT SRE YOU DOING!” Roshi yelled Jane sobbed she managed to say “what good is it when the running to Jane “what? I didn’t do anything!” Roshi looked at Clouds head and saw Janes tear he looked at her and smiled happily almost crying himself “I almost lost my son if it wasn’t for you…I thank you…” Cloud moved a bit then opened one of his eyes “what…were am I….” Cloud murmured trying to get up. Roshi put his hand on Clouds head and said “shhhh young one rest now, we will bring you food” Cloud put his head down and closed his eyes…
Chapter 17
An Army
Cloud woke after a few hours and sat up to find food on his lap. “Eat it Cloud you must be starving…” it was Hath Roshi Jane and Kate but the weird thing to Cloud was that Hath and Kate were holding hands. Cloud smiled at Hath and ate the food “we were thinking… the next time were not here and this place gets attacked there going to need a bigger army… a much bigger army” Hath said sitting on a rock next to Cloud. “Then we shall make an army…an army of 500000 men and women… its going to be hard but I had a vision that we could do it before the next attack..” Cloud told them. They all nodded in union and went to tell what was going to happen. “OK! EVERYONE HERE!” Hath shouted out to everyone in the village “WE ARE GOING TO BUILD AN ARMY!!” Everyone cheered and started calling Hath’s name “BUT! THIS ISNT GOING TO BE A NORMAL ARMY! THIS ARMYY IS GOING TO HAVE 500000 MEN AND WOMEN TO WADE OF XEROXES ARMY FOR GOOD ANYTIME THEY TRY AND ATTACK!” Hath yelled. The crowd went ballistic and started building barracks and towers. Hath jumped down picked up a stick and threw it to a villager “im going to tech you how to be a captain so listen up and follow my instructions” Hath told the villager who was actually a little boy “sorry sir but I am much young to learn these ways I am a mere boy…” the little boy said “no ones to young follow me!” Hath told the boy. They walked into a temple and Hath threw the stick to the boy. He didn’t catch it so he picked it up and looked at Hath oddly “ok boy may I have your name?” Hath asked. The boy shuddered then said “od…Odin….sir” Hath looked at Odin in a strange way then told him to attack him. Odin did what he was told and hit Hath’s leg “hmmmmmmmm…. You are going to grow up a strong warrior and live with riches!” Hath told Odin. Odin smiled a big smile then said “really? Really really?” Hath nodded “yes… really really…”. Hath and Odin trained all day no one new what they were doing but Cloud could feel another power inside the temple… a strong power. “Whose child is that in there…” Cloud shouted. A woman came to the side of him and said “Odin is my child why?” Cloud looked at the woman and pulled some money out of his pocket put it in her hand and said, “Your child is going to be the next chosen one after Hath…” The woman almost fainted she said “my child the chosen one… my sweet Odin I am proud…”… after a few more hours of training the doors to the temple started to open. Everybody in front of the temple bowed down and started praising Odin king of Clouds! Hath came out first bowed to everyone then said, “I am proud to introduce your next chosen one… Odin” The villagers and warriors crowded round and started talking about Odin one of them in particular said “that little lad… I don’t think hell stand a chance on a dummy! Calls himself a wizard and a warrior” Hath stared at him drew his sword walked towards him, put his sword to the mans neck and whispered “don’t you have a little respect to the new chosen one? Or are you willing to be sacrificed?” The man was terrified he didn’t move or answer just shaked “good…” Hath whispered letting go of the man and letting him fall over. The temple doors opened and there stood Odin dressed in a black robe with a gold belt, brown sandals, hair tied back, a wizard’s staff and a katana sword. “My people! The chosen one has teached me how to defend this village and stop the enemy from advancing further!” Odin shouted putting his arms up “show us then!” One of the villagers shouted feeling he should be assured. Odin looked at the man and said would you like me to demonstrate on you?” The man laughed and then said “yea but I don’t think your only hope of survival is to plead for forgiveness” Odin jumped and floated threw the air and landed near the villager. Everybody stepped back forming a circle for Odin and the villager to battle “I will not fight with weapons just to show you how weak you are” The man said. Odin nodded crunched his fist and threw his weapons the villager was trained in martial art style Hath could tell from his stance but Odin he took a different stance he waved his arms over under and out of them and ended up with his hands behind him. The villager tried punching Odin in the stomach but Odin pulled his stomach backwards in a curve shape dodging the punch. Odin flipped backwards hitting the villager with his feet knocking him over “have you had enough yet? Or am I going to have to hurt you?” Odin whispered. The man pulled himself up wiped the blood from his mouth and replied “yes I give up….” Odin turned around the man smirked. He ran at Odin from behind but Odin span round and kicked him in the side of his face breaking his jaw “nice tactic but it aint going to work on me” Odin told him. “Aaaaaaaaaarrrr you little maggot ill kill you!!!” The man yelled drawing a sword from under his cloak. Odin raised his hand and his sword flew into it the man slashed at Odin’s head but Odin blocked the blow and span his sword flipping the man over. The man was in pain he crawled away to get his breath back “I warned you… if you carry on you will probably end up dead…” Odin whispered. The man got up and again attacked Odin and managed to slice his arm. Odin felt the pain “aaaaaaaaa! My arm…. grrr….” Odin started to blast for the first time “aaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Odin cried. Hath and Cloud could feel Odin’s power rising “THIS KIDS GOT MORE POWER THAN SPLINTER!” Cloud yelled trying to stop himself from flying of “yes your right! I think hes the one!” Hath shouted holding onto a bar. “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!” Odin yelled gaining more power every minute. The man’s face started to rip his clothes were coming off but as they did he turned out as Shadow! Xeroxes top Soldier. “ NOT HIM AGAIN!” Hath shouted. Two more villagers came out of the crowd and transformed into Shade and Rooma “NO WAY!!” Cloud yelled about to go help Odin. Hath pulled Cloud back and said “don’t help…its alright he’s more powerful than you and me put together just watch” Cloud walked back a bit and said “if he needs help im going down there…”. “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!” Odin was screaming still blasting. “Shade get him quick!!” Shadow yelled. Shade ran towards Odin but was thrown back by the power “I…I cant he’s to powerful!!” Shade yelled. Dust kicked up clouding round Odin making it impossible to see him Rooma fired a beam towards Odin only having it to recoil back at him. “Grrrr this kids becoming to annoy me…” Shadow whispered. Then Odin stopped blasting the dust died down… Odin floated in the spot hed blasted spiky yellow hair blue eyes his usual blue clothes with cut off sleeves. His power was enormous probably higher than splinters, Odin floated down and walked towards them. Rooma took a fast one on Odin hitting his jaw but it didn’t affect him. Odin grabbed Rooma bye the throat and started to squeeze “a… c….. H…..e…..he…..l..P….” Rooma chocked trying to free himself. There was an unpleasant bone-crunching crack and Odin dropped Rooma making him lie lifeless… Odin cracked his neck and said, “who’s next?” Shadow and Shade looked at each other “urrrr him….” They both said pointing to each other. Odin got them both by the throat and started squeezing “now go back to your master and tell him if he sends any more people here consider himself dead….” Odin whispered throwing them on the floor “NOW GO BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND!” Odin yelled pointing towards the gate. Shade and Shadow jumped up grabbing Rooma and running away, The crowd started cheering and shouting “ODIN ODIN ODIN!! KING OF CLOUDS ODIN ODIN ODIN!” Odin powered down and fell to the ground exhausted from all the fighting. Cloud flew down and threw Odin over his shoulders “ATTACK!!!! HELP!” Hath heard a villager cry from the tower ringing a bell. “Cloud take Odin to the temple let him rest ill help Kate and Jane to destroy them” Hath told Cloud running to the castle walls and looking over “oh my god…” Hath whispered seeing that just about all of Xeroxes army was heading towards them “Hath think of something should we attack or wait!?” Jane asked. “Theres no point waiting Jane gather the army Kate and I will keep them away until the army gets here… even then we wont be powerful enough to stop this much… theres about… ten million just on that side so were thinking about fighting over one hundred million monsters archers warriors and… Xeroxed himself…” Hath told Jane drawing his sword “come on Kate lets go fight for freedom for this country!!” Kate wielded her blades and jumped the castle wall with Hath charging at the grand army. The army started to quicken someone at the front of the army covered in steel shouted “WIELD WEAPONS!” All the army took there weapons out the archers went a bit further then added an arrow to there bows. “ATTACK!!” The steel man shouted. “Hath how are we going to live threw this how can you trust Odin so much how do you know that he’s capable of the power of splinter you and Cloud put together theres no way one kid can hold that much power…” Kate said. Hath thought then laughed a bit “you see Kate… im expecting company” Hath told her Before Kate could reply the army was quite close in front of them. The army charged at them waving their swords above their heads and screaming arrows were flying at them at every direction “Kate! Attack before it’s to late!” Hath yelled disappearing leaving a arrow in his place which an archer had tried to kill him with. Kate threw her blades slicing 5 monsters arms off the blades came back but Kate didn’t catch them she just let them fall to the ground. Hath reappeared beside Kate and shouted “ARE YOU MAD YOU CANT DEFEND YOUR SELF WITH YOUR BARE HANDS UNLESS YOU BLAST AND YOU DON’T HAVE TIME FOR IT!” Kate smiled looked at Hath in a shady way then said “Hath… ive I ever told you what I really am…” Hath killed another one or two goblin monsters and went back to Kate “what do you mean!?” Hath asked Kate started being a bit weird then she replied, “I am a assassin a trained assassin… I was sent to kill you…” Hath nearly killed her he put his sword to her neck “wait… but Im not going to kill you anymore I promise!!” Kate chocked “grrrr… I am so close to killing you… ill deal with you after we’ve finished this…”Hath threatened her. Hath dropped her to the ground then walked towards the army now even madder than before. A huge Orc tried smashing his club into Hath’s head only to find that Hath had sliced it in half the orc drooled and made weird noises it wasn’t very big for an orc. Then another Orc swung his club at Hath but again Hath jumped dodging it and shoved his sword threw its heart. The orc did a kind of howl an orc howl, which sounded like 100 birds screeching in the sky. The orc fell to the ground lifeless with its tongue lying out of its mouth the orc he’d forgotten about tried taking a punch but Hath grabbed his giant arm and threw him into some other orc’s. A few more arrows flew at him but each one missed him by a long shot he pulled his sword out of the orc’s dead corpse. 10 warriors came charging at Hath with their spears nearly stabbing him then Kate jumped on all the spears making the warriors fall to the ground. “HEY HATH WE CANT HOLD THESE GUYS BACK ANY LONGER THERE TO MANY!” Kate yelled. Hath noticed that she had some blades attached to her elbow pads also she was holding two sharp daggers Hath looked up “get out of my face…” He told her Kate started to shed tears “why Hath… I told you that I wouldn’t…. ever kill you never…” Kate sobbed. Hath looked at the large army heading their way then looked at Kate “if you try and kill me… I will see it personally that you never see light again…” Hath told her. Kate hugged him sobbing over his shoulder. Hath saw an arrow which was coming in his direction “Kate move!” Hath shouted pushing her out of the way. Kate hit a rock hard on her head she fell unconscious “AAARRGHH!” Hath cried an arrow had sunk into his arm both warriors were down they were helpless. The army was closing in on them fast the steel man supposing was the leader shouted “THERE HELPLESS THIS IS THE TIME, ATTACK!!” The whole army charged at Hath and Kate waving their weapons above there heads. A demon with a huge axe was kicking Hath around like a useless doll he laughed wile he was doing this Hath managed to open his eyes for just one second and in that second he saw Xeroxed the all high and mighty Xeroxed sitting in his big high chair like some important person. Xeroxed laughed at them he shouted “HATH GIVE UP THE CASTLE AND I PROMISE NO MORE KILLINGS WILL COME!” Hath was still being kicked around by the demon then it stopped. Hath thought it was over but he felt himself rising he opened his eyes and saw a Cyclops a huge Cyclops which looked hungry. Hath tried getting out of its grip but he was to weak to move he had dropped his sword all his life was down to Jane and Cloud bringing the army to save him and his visitor. The Cyclops threw Hath up in the air and when he came down he felt the Cyclops’s fist slam into his back sending him flying down the hill. Hath managed to pull himself up a bit he was bleeding there was only one way to beat this Cyclops without his sword… that was to blast. Hath new if he blasted he’d only take this one Cyclops out but more importantly he’d probably end up killing Kate in the process. “GIVE UP HATH THERES NO WAY YOU CAN BEAT ME NOW ESPECIALLY ON YOUR OWN!” Xeroxed shouted still laughing. Then the Cyclops stopped moving towards Hath and headed towards Kate “NO YOUR FIGHTS WITH ME YOU CYCLOPS!” Hath yelled trying to stop the Cyclops getting to Kate. The Cyclops picked Kate up and dangled her on the edge of the cliff by her neck. “HATH GIVE THE CASTLE UP AND I WONT LET YOUR LITTLE GIRLFRIEND GO!” Xeroxed told Hath. Hath thought for a minute he turned around and saw the army coming Hath turned to the Cyclops and started walking towards it “GO ON DROP HER SEE WHAT I CARE!” He shouted. The Cyclops looked stunned “HES BLUFFING! DON’T LET GO OF HER!” Xeroxed shouted jumping of his throne and taking his sword out. Hath was right next to the Cyclops now “go on…. Drop her…” He told it. The Cyclops started to get angry it snorted and dropped Kate on the cliff safe. “Thank yo…” Before Hath could finish his sentence something hard and heavy hit him right in the side of his head, which sent him flying of the cliff. The steel man who had hit him of the cliff looked down and saw nothing but Clouds “HES A GONNER THE CHOOSEN ONE IS DEAD!” He shouted to Xeroxed. The army started cheering for their victory “WAIT! THERES STILL THEM TO TAKE CARE OF!” The steel man shouted pointing to the army, which was now close. “WELL GO ON AND TAKE THEM OUT WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!” Xeroxed shouted to the army. The army started to march towards the Cloud army and the Cloud army started to march towards Xeroxes army. The Cloud army got anxious for Cloud, Jane or Odin there were doomed if they didn’t show up but more importantly Hath had been thrown of the cliff to his death. “WAIT SIR WHATS THAT NOISE?!” The steel man shouted “ITS COMING FROM THE SIDE OF THE CLIFF!” a soldier told him. The steel man glanced over the edge and saw someone coming flying up holding on to Hath “SIR SOMEONES COMING FROM THE SIDE OF THE CLIFF!” The steel man shouted getting ready to battle. The army turned towards the cliff then in the fastest of speed there they were Hath and someone else. “NO I THOUGHT I GOT RID OF YOU BOTH!” Xeroxed shouted outraged at Hath and the other person. The person landed in the middle of the army and held Hath up “hi again X” The man said walking towards Xeroxed “shut it Lirez or else im going to kill you!” Xeroxed shouted now even more angry “ive come to stop this and if you don’t….” Lirez started saying “GO ON WHAT IF I DON’T!” Xeroxed yelled getting frustrated “if you don’t then im going to send my army… and the Cloud army to destroy your army…and take no prisoners…” Lirez threatened him. “NO! SEND THEM IM NOT BOTHERED ILL KILL THEM JUST ME AND MY ARMY! ARMY GET HIM!” Xeroxed ordered sending the army on them. Lirez threw Hath to the Cloud army and drew his sword the army crowded all over him there was no sign. Kate then awoken and saw the army in a big ball crowding on someone she then saw the Cloud army and Hath being held up. She got up and started walking towards the Cloud army then the crowd suddenly got thrown all over the place there was a sense of great power. Lirez had blasted sending the army flying again the army tried attacking him but they were to slow to hit him. Heads were flying off and people were being stabbed and injured. Lirez appeared again with blood all over his shining silver sword and his face. “IVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU! STEEL, SHADE, ROOMA SHADOW GET HIM NOW!!” All his minions appeared and drew there weapons “I don’t need these maggots to help they will just get in the way!” Steel shouted making a hammer out of his liquid arm. Shade pulled his axe out and attempted to hit Lirez, Lirez stopped the attack blocking it with his sword. Lirez grabbed Shade by the throat and threw him of the cliff “SHADE COME BACK!!” Shadow shouted jumping of the cliff with Rooma. Steel slammed his hammer down trying to hit Lirez but kept missing. Lirez kicked him in the face one way and then reversed the kick sending him flying the other way. Steel was fast but not fast enough Lirez was hitting him all over the place and taking the army on as well. “GRRRR STEEL GET HIM AND STOP PLAYNG AROUND!!” Xeroxed shouted steaming with fury. Steel dragged himself up then started to grow… Steel was growing he was massive but nevertheless Lirez was still calm as usual. “HAR HAR HAR!” Steel boomed. Lirez looked up at Steel and said “impressive… but I can do better…” Steel merged an enormous sword and then boomed “IS THAT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU!!” Lirez shook his head. “TRY THIS ON FOR SIZE!!” Steel yelled swinging his sword at Lirez. Lirez put his sword up and blocked the blow Steel was amazed his giant sword had been blocked by that tiny sword “HOW DID YOU DO THAT!!” He boomed. “I can do better!” Lirez shouted disappearing. The next minute Lirez was standing on Steels shoulder punching him in the side of the face. Lirez slammed his foot into his front teeth shattering them to bits he flew down then came back up under his chin and went straight threw his face. Gooey steel went everywhere and each blob turned into a minni steel with each half the power of Steel. The Cloud army started running towards Xeroxes army and there was a huge cry of pain as the first blow was struck. Lirez looked at the battle at the battle that was going on but then he felt Steels fist slamming into him. Lirez managed to take the blow but was still hurt pretty bad. Steel attacked again this time with his sword Lirez managed to grab the sword he would of blocked it but he had dropped his sword when Steel hit him. Lirez pushed against the sword and felt it going into his hands but he didn’t stop pushing “OK STEEL IF YOU WANT TO PLAY HARD THEN…AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!” Lirez cried blasting. Lirez sent Steel flying backwards into a higher cliff. Lirez didn’t blast to his full strength Kate new that she could still sense a higher power within him. Lirez sped towards the half destroyed Steel who was stuck in the cliff and started punching him in the stomach flew up and uppercut him into the air. Steel looked down and didn’t see Lirez anywhere he stopped floating up and looked around “WHERE ARE YOU… YOU LITTLE MIDGET!!” Steel yelled then Lirez appeared behind Steel and kicked him all the way down to the ground. There was a cloud of dust wafting around where Steel landed Lirez could still feel his blast level “THIS IS FOR THE PEOPLE YOU HAVE HURT!!” He yelled powering up a black electric ball above his head. “SUPER DESTRUCTION BALL!!” Lirez yelled throwing the S D B. The Dust cleared Steel looked up and saw the S D B coming “NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!….” Steel yelled trying to stop the force of the S D B from destroying him but he was to week the S D B, which was much bigger than him forced him to give up his strength to it and be destroyed. Lirez was breathless but was still in the air floating “WHAT!! HOW DID YOU DO THAT MOVE!!” Xeroxed yelled now even more angry “huh… OH… THE S D B… I LEARNED IT…” Lirez replied floating down to the ground “BUT… HOW COULD YOU LEARN IT! THERES NO WAY YOU COULD HAVE IVE BEEN TRYING TO DO THAT MOVE FOR YEARS AND THERES ONLY ONE PERSON WHO CAN DO IT AND THAT’S…you…” Xeroxed bellowed. Lirez pulled his sword from the rubble and put it away “you see x…. you think you’re the most power fullest being in all the universe but your not…. I can sense your power your not anything from my standards but from other people’s…. that’s a different story…. So are you going to attack me or am I just going to have to stand here?” Lirez laughed. “GRRRRR YOUR NOTHING TO ME!! NOTHING YOU HERE ME I CAN DESTROY YOU IN ONE BLOW!” Xeroxed growled. “oh fine then what did you come here for then?” Lirez asked anxious to know. “WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU STUPID TWIT I CAME TO TAKE THIS CASTLE WITH MY GRAND ARMY!!” Xeroxed yelled frustrated. “With this army??….” Lirez asked looking around at the battle, which was going on. “YES!” Xeroxed was steaming with anger now he was going to attack any minute. Lirez put his hand in front of him aiming at a group of orcs about to slash open someone and fired 4 beams which came out of his hand at the same time and went threw the goblins stomachs. “WHAT THE HELL!!” Xeroxed glared at where the goblins were they was completely destroyed. Xeroxed turned towards Lirez and yelled “IVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU AND YOUR COCKY MOUTH!” Xeroxed flew up into the air and started firing rapid beams. Each one missed Lirez he started flying up towards Xeroxed then stopped in mid air and yelled “C RO BLAST!!” Lirez put both of his hands forward and out came a red beam in the shape of a dragon. Xeroxed disappeared evading the attack and reappeared behind Lirez kneed him in the stomach uppercut him in the face flew up a bit and kicked him to the ground. Xeroxed thought it was over but just to make sure he started to power a beam up and fired it down towards where Lirez landed leaving clouds of sand floating about. Xeroxed started laughing evilly he had destroyed Lirez but when the sand disappeared Lirez was just standing there bleeding from his cut lip. Lirez wiped the blood of with his sleeve looked around at the Cloud army, which was retreating then at Xeroxes army. “S D B!!” Lirez yelled firing the S D B at the army destroying all of it in one attack. “NO! HOW! GRRR YOU AND YOUR STUPID TRICKS I DON’T NEED MY ARMY TO DESTROY YOU I CAN DO IT MYSELF!” Xeroxed bragged. Xeroxes power started to grow massively going past Lirez’s. Lirez stepped back “OH NO!” Lirez cried “ive got to stop him if he gets any more power ill have no chance in even surviving” Lirez flew up and fired rapid beams at Xeroxed hoping that his power hadn’t grown to far but it was as he dreaded the beams disintegrated before getting to him. “S D RODA!” Lirez yelled turning to stone and flying into Xeroxed. Lirez just bounced back still with no affect “TICK…. TICK…. BOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!”. Lirez cried sending explosions everywhere but still none affected Xeroxed. Lirez new there was no point in trying to hurt him so he flew towards the castle having another idea hoping that Hath and Odin were awake. The Cloud creatures greeted him in and showed him to Hath and Odin, Cloud walked towards Lirez “Lirez what’s happening…” He asked showing him to the temple “I should have finished him when I had the chance… hes to strong we need all the power we have but im afraid even that might not be enough….” Lirez told him throwing the temple doors open and finding Hath and Odin laid out on the floor with Kate and Jane by there sides. Lirez walked towards them “I have the power to heal them but I used most of my power against Xeroxed so I can only revive one….” Lirez said “its alright… I can do that aswell…” Lirez turned and saw Roshi coming “Roshi my old friend how have you been?” Lirez asked forgetting about Xeroxed. “I will tell you when this is over first we must revive these two then think about getting someone with enough power to help us defeat Xeroxed quickly revive Hath I will revive Odin….” Roshi walked towards Odin put his hands above his head and started saying some words. Lirez did the same thing on Hath the torches flickered and the place shook a bit the door banged then Hath moved his body started to rise lightning struck his eyes opened then fell to the ground. Hath pulled himself up looked around saw Lirez and said “ you’re here…. Did you destroy him?….” He asked. Lirez shook his head “oh….” Hath whispered. Then Odin moved his body began to glow straight away they could feel Odin’s huge power growing Odin started to float hi eyes shot open he floated back down and pulled himself up. Odin brushed the dust of himself looked around like Hath did and saw Lirez “father…” Everybody look at Lirez and Odin “yes son….” Lirez replied to Odin walking towards him “FATHER!!” Odin shouted crying. Odin hugged Lirez everyone was in disbelief apart from Hath “son we need your help aswell as Hath’s Xeroxed is heading our way at an enormous power the army has already gone to try an stop him but they will be no good that’s why we need you… also we need someone else with a lot of power but there is no one else….” Lirez told Odin Hath stepped forwards “Splinter… we need splinter when he blasted at the tournament his power was amazing especially for being so small…. As soon as we get him there will be no more Xeroxed but the problem is getting him….” Hath said thinking how to get him. The doors opened and there stood the woman from last time full of blood and cuts all over her face “we…nee…need help…hellp..” She chocked Hath walked towards her but then she fell to the ground Hath put his ear to her heart then slowly got up “she’s dead….” Cloud walked towards her and turned her around “mother!” Cloud whispered closing his eyes trying to stop the tears from coming “hes gone to far now hes killed your father now hes killed my mother…. This is personal now” Cloud said full of anger. Cloud walked outside with Hath, Odin, Lirez, Kate, Jane and Roshi they all flew to wear Xeroxed was “XEROXED!!” Cloud yelled flying down and looking around at the carnage he had done. Bodies were everywhere some relatives of Cloud, Clouds her spiked up again his power started to grow just like when he was fighting Hath “CLOUD STOP! IT ISNT WORTH IT!” Hath yelled running towards Cloud. Cloud stopped blasting “Xeroxed you are sure damn lucky Hath stopped me for you don’t want to see me when im mad….” Cloud cracked his neck “oh im so scared of you all really I am…. You stupid insolent fools you are all nothing to me now!” Xeroxed yelled. “No were not!” Odin cried flying towards Xeroxed and attack him. Xeroxed put his leg up and kicked Odin away like a ball Lirez Roshi Kate and Jane blasted up a bit and then they attacked him each punching and kicking him “THERES NO POINT YOU PESTS!” Xeroxed yelled drawing his sword and slicing all of them away then putting his sword away again. Hath and Cloud were the only ones left standing “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!” Hath cried blasting to his blast form. “yea right!” Xeroxed fired a beam at Hath which hit him and stopped him blasting. Cloud walked towards Xeroxed closed his eyes then said “you think you’re the strongest being??” Cloud asked him Xeroxed replied “yes I am the strongest being in the universe!!” Cloud looked at him then shouted “BEAT THIS THEN!” Cloud raised his arms then Tanork appeared “your monster….” Hath whispered “I know what your doing!” Hath Clicked his fingers and there appeared Theokiss roaring at Xeroxed. “is that all you’ve got?” Xeroxed asked. Hath was getting worried at how Xeroxed could be so calm at this point. Xeroxed flew all the way up to Theokiss’s head grabbed its ear and flung it into the mountains. Tanork raised it fire sword jumped up and tried slicing Xeroxed but it was to slow for Xeroxed disappeared and repapered behind Tanork drew his sword and sliced its head off. “TANORK NO!” Cloud yelled. Hath looked at Theokiss who was knocked out at the mountain Xeroxed flew down and kicked Tanork into the mountain beside Theokiss. He looked at Odin who was moving and fired a small bubble at him, which he got trapped in “WAT?” Odin cried firing beams at it. “There’s no point boy just give up!” Xeroxed yelled firing a bubble at the others trapping them in that aswell. “now there out of the way maybe we can carry on our little game?” Xeroxed laughed. Cloud tried kicking Xeroxed but he grabbed his foot and threw him over his shoulder also blocking Hath and kicking him in the face. Cloud drew his sword and slashed at Xeroxed who kicked the sword out of his hands grabbed it and punched him back. Hath drew his sword then jumped and slashed down trying to attack him but Xeroxed just fired a beam at him sending him into the sky and out of view. Cloud looked up there was no sign of Hath Xeroxed walked towards Cloud and grabbed him by the throat “I know lets see what under this mask of yours shall we…” Xeroxed said grabbing his mask. He neary had it of until a huge blue beam came flying into him sending him flying “WHAT THE!” Xeroxed looked around and saw Lirez blasted up. His hair had turned blonde and had turned into super Lirez 1 (S L 1) Cloud sat up a bit and looked at Lirez “LIREZ NO! ITS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!” Cloud cried trying to stop him. “aaa…. Lirez I was wondering where you ran of to so you want to be destroyed to do you because I can take you both on?” Xeroxed boasted. “no actually X I was just introducing you to my new friend…” Xeroxed looked confused “his name is Splinter” Lirez said. Cloud looked a bit happier now Odin pressed his face against the bubble, as did the others. Then their stood Splinter he had changed a lot his hair had gone all red as did his eyebrows he was a kid now it was like he had gone back in time he had blue eyes and dark blue clothing with his sleeves cut of and his black boots tied at the top with a brown rope. “SPLINTER….” Cloud yelled trying to pull himself up. Splinter looked at Cloud and waved “hi Cloud!” He shouted. “ENOUGH CHIT CHAT ARE YOU GOING TO FIGHT ME OR WHAT!” Xeroxed yelled. Splinter looked at Xeroxed “so you’re the strong guy Lirez has told me about…. You don’t look very strong to me but if you want me to attack you im fine with that” Splinter walked n front of Xeroxed. Xeroxed took a quick kick to Splinters side only to have it blocked by Splinters bare arm. Splinter punched Xeroxed in the nose breaking it with a crack Blood poured from his it Xeroxed put his hands over his face so that the blood poured into his hands. Splinter kicked Xeroxed in the stomach winding him then kicked him in the face then punched him in the face again breaking his jaw sending him flying. Splinter turned around “your telling me that you guys cant beat this guy… you must be joking!” Splinter walked towards Xeroxed picked him up by his neck then kept slamming his fist into his face making him bleed from his eye’s “Xeroxed im tired of playing this game so I feel like killing you now so bye bye and any last words?” Splinter asked drawing his dagger “ye…yes…. actually…. tell Hath I didn’t kill his father tell him it was Chan he threatened to kill me if I told you but…seen as your going to kill me anyways I can tell you” Xeroxed told him. Splinter was about to stab him when he heard Hath’s voice “no don’t kill him….” Splinter thought for a minute and then put Xeroxed down. Splinter then changed his mind and cut Xeroxes hands of “AAAAAAA YOU….YOU….” Xeroxed screamed in pain and anguish. Splinter put his sword to Xeroxes neck he froze in fear “don’t say anything or else I will kill you….” Xeroxed just lay there bleeding from all his body “Hath you can have him I have no use with him” Splinter said turning round and seeing Hath. Hath walked towards Xeroxed who was now terrified and had lost all his power he picked Xeroxed up and punched him in the face knocking him out. Xeroxed lay there half dead and half alive, Hath grabbed his arm and dragged him across the rocky sandy ground into the Cloud city then he turned around and said “Roshi Lirez do you two think you have the power to revive these fallen soldiers?” Lirez and Roshi looked at each other then nodded there heads and set to work healing. “NOW HERE THESE CLOUD PEOPLE! TONIGHT WE CELEBRATE FOR THE DEFEAT OF XEROXED!” Hath yelled throwing Xeroxed into a cage. After a couple of hours Lirez and Roshi arrived with all of the dead soldiers, which they had revived the celebration began there was competitions such as sword fighting horse racing and even something Hath dreamt about… a food eating contest!
Chapter 18
Mystical Amulet
Hath was having fun teaching the rookie warriors how to attack and defend from warriors when someone being crowded by people yelled “LADYS AND GENTLEMEN! THIS IS A ONE TIME ONLY EVENT AND THE WINNER WILL BE REWARDED THE MYSTIKAL AMULET!!” Hath, Cloud, Kate and Jane all looked at where the man was standing Hath was the only one out of them who walked in front of the man and asked “what do we have to do to get it?” The man shuffled for a minute “urrr…. A TOURNAMENT!!” Hath thought for a minute thinking if it was a trap like last time “I…. I except your challenge!” Hath told the man signing the form. A lot of people signed the form mostly warriors and even people from distant lands came to watch and participate. The tournament took place where they fought Xeroxed outside the city the first match was Odin v Splinter Hath new almost immediately who was going to win but Cloud thought different. As Splinter walked past Hath, Hath whispered, “Give it your all….” Splinter looked at him like he was nuts then did a kind of nod. Cloud said the same thing to Odin, thinking that Splinter was going to win. Cloud walked over to Hath and stood next to him “what makes you think that Odin is going to win hes probably never fought a tournament in his life!” Hath looked at Cloud and smiled “so far I have been telling Odin to hold all his power in… now is the time for him to let it all out” Cloud looked confused then looked back at were Odin and Splinter were standing ready to battle. Splinter shook Odin’s hand “I am not going to go easy on you so you will have to put up a good fight….” Odin nodded his head then walked to his spot. “CONTESTANTS FIGHT!” The man shouted. Splinter fired a huge beam at Odin but Odin smacked it out of the way with the side of his hand then sending his own army of beams towards Splinter. Splinter jumped in the air evading the beams then seeing Odin flying up punching at him he kept moving out of the way of his punches. Splinter flung his foot into the side of Odin’s head sending him falling to the ground then powering up a beam “TRIPLE DISK!” Splinter yelled firing three razor sharp disks at Odin hitting the ground creating clouds of sand. There was a unusual presence of power growing rapidly Hath new what it was, it was Odin’s power rising. Splinter fired a beam at the mountain they came crashing down on Odin flattening him. Splinter flew down kicked one of the rocks of then started pulling them off as he got into the middle Odin was not there. Then Splinter was hit in the side then punched in the face followed by another punch across the jaw and to finish it being kicked into the air by a weird flash. “WHAT!” Cloud shouted trying to understand what was going on. The crowd started cheering one half for Splinter one for Odin but the weird flash did not stop there…. Splinter looked down and only saw the people he stopped floating up wiped the blood of his mouth and looked around. Splinter thought what could have happened for he felt the force of the kicks and punches just then Splinter again was kicked further into the air then uppercut in the chin after that got a fist slammed into his jaw. Splinter knew he couldn’t win this just by the strength he had so he started to blast. Splinter’s hair waved about the flash stopped moving and there was Odin floating arms crossed eyes closed. Splinter went from red to grey his sword grew in length and then he somehow grew armour. Now they both had equal powers it seemed like Hath wasn’t expecting Splinter to have so much power “told ya!” Cloud laughed. Hath nearly drew his sword and cut his tongue of but he kept himself from doing it and looked at the battle again. The tense between these two warriors was amazing the crowd were standing on there feet waiting for the next move while Odin was waiting for Splinter. Splinter came at Odin and threw a punch then another in the gut a kick in the back but none of this was affecting him “aaaa…. So you finally understand… you let your powers out well im not going to attack you all day finish me then!” Splinter said now pulling a smile. Odin looked at Splinter the new form of Splinter the kid type then he went flying towards the ground. Splinter thinking that this was the chance powered an S D B up “IM JUST GOING TO SEE IF YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO HAVE YOUR KIND OF POWER!!” Splinter yelled. The S D B grew so big he had to hold it above his head. “SSSSS…DDDDDDD…BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB!!!!!” Splinter cried firing the S D B. Odin turned around and put his hand out immediately the ball stopped coming then it just blew up in the air without anything touching it. Lirez who was on the ground was watching in astonishment and disbelief he didn’t know that anyone could be so powerful! Splinter again fired another beam then another after that another until he got mad and fired them rapidly the speed of the was covering Odin in a bright light enough to blind the human eye. The people thought the match was over but Hath still knew it wasn’t he just stood there smiling like nothing had happened. Splinter looked evil some cheered him on and some started to say he’d do anything to win. Just then all the beams split apart flying everywhere destroying bits of landscape and trees and some mountains Splinter expected to see Odin but he wasn’t there he disappeared! Splinter looked around expecting to see Odin come flying at him but he saw nothing. He looked at Hath and shrugged his shoulders then flew towards the ground. He flew gently on to the ground like a feather and started to walk away until something hard hit his spine and nearly knocked him out. Splinter looked back and saw Odin with his arm out then said, “would you like to quit now or am I just going to have to punish you?” Splinter got up then went to shake his hand grabbed it and flipped him over on to the ground. Splinter kicked him in the stomach then flung him into the air firing beams at him. Odin punched all the beams out of the way then powered his plasma blast up and fired it directly at the terrified Splinter who flung his arms over himself in defence of the beam. Cloud shot forward’s shouting “NO! STOP!” the plasma beam came out as a giant arrow aiming straight for Splinter who had just flew off with the plasma beam trailing him from behind. Odin began to get tired all of his power went into the plasma beam, which was enough to destroy Splinter. Hath and Cloud both flew and caught Odin “HATH STOP THAT PLASMA BEAM BEFORE ITS TO LATE!” Cloud called flying towards the temple. ‘How am I supposed to do that’ He thought to himself chasing after it. Splinter dived into the forest trying to lose the beam but it just followed destroying the trees and sending wildlife into the air. Hath got quite close to the plasma then started to power his own beam up flew in front of the plasma beam and fired it but it was no use the plasma beam just destroyed Hath’s beam with ease. He tried powering up an S D B until realising he didn’t have the faintest idea to use one. Splinter was now slowing down Hath saw him begin to stop he didn’t want him to die he was the only person who could beat Chan! Hath flew past the beam , grabbed Splinter then flew up hitting a tree and falling unconscious…
Chapter 19
Blizzard, Flame, Thunder and Magic
Hath walked threw the door on the right hand side of the brightly coloured room feeling happy he found a fountain with fresh water pouring out of it he stopped to drink thinking what a beautiful day it was. As he was drinking he looked in the fountain and saw a reflection of an odd person looking back at him with bright yellow eyes and long black hair riding a horse with a long sword. Hath looked closer behind the man were soldier’s all flowing into a city no… a castle. He heard screaming in his head voices of people dying then the man in the water got of his horse. He put up his left arm and said something in a low cold voice his hand lit up bright purple he waved his hand threw the castle blowing it into pieces killing his the castle people including his own…. “
“Hath?… Hath wake up!” Hath opened his eyes and saw all his friend’s including some other people which he dint know carrying staff’s and unusual weapons. “W…whats going on?” Hath said looking round rather blank. “Hath these people saved you…” Jane told him smiling. Hath got up and looked at the four hooded people each dressed in a different couloured robes - red, yellow, blue and green. One of the people stepped forwards and lowered his hood “H…Hath? Is that really you?…” he asked inspecting Hath like he was some ornament. The man had long grey hair and an even longer beard “y…yea im Hath” Hath said “and who are you?” The man stood up straight and smiled “well… That woman over there in the red cloak is Flame and thats Blizzard over there in the blue cloak and Thunder in the yellow stood by the wall…and I… am Magic a.k.a Semus of the Katronians or just Semus and… I am also your grandfather…” Hath was token back he opened his mouth but the word’s didn’t come out “w…wh…. how…. why…when?” He found himself asking. Semus put his hand on Hath’s shoulder “I haven’t seen you in a long time… I have been searching high and low until I found the highest place I could… The world of the Cloud’s…” Hath smiled a bit then quite sudden hugged Semus nearly killing him with the power “granddad…why…how did you find me?… how did you find this place?” Hath asked quite sudden. “Well… me and my comrades here are old wizard’s… we can find any place and anyone in the world and we managed to find you… running away from that plasma beam with your friend Splinter…” Before Semus could finish Hath said “Where’s Splinter!” Jane put her hand on Hath’s shoulder “when you fell unconscious your grandfather and his friends stopped the beam in this…” Jane told Hath taking a small glowing crystal ball out of her pocket and handing it over to Hath. Hath took it utterly amazed then saw a face with long black hair and yellow eyes like the one in his dream holding a man who was squirming to get out of his grip. The person then broke the mans neck took a sword out and thrusted it through the mans heart laughing silently. “Hath?..Hath?….” Hath looked up and saw Cloud shaking him. “we thought you’d gone mad then…” Cloud smiled. “sorry…I had a vision…” Hath began to say. The other looked confused, Told them about his dream and the vision then looked at everyone again and saw Semus looking more worried than the rest of them “SCORPION!” Semus roared in anger. Everybody nearly fell over “Scorpion?… no it couldn’t be… he was destroyed thousand of years ago!” Blizzard said while flame and thunder tried calming Semus down. “SOMEHOW HES BEEN BROUGHT BACK!” Semus was now struggling to get flame and thunder of him. “This is bad… very very bad… Hath… you need to take Cloud and the others and get out of here…” Blizzard told Hath helping him up “why? Im much better here protecting this place!” Blizzard gave Hath a shifty look “Hath… Scorpion is one hundred times powerful than Xeroxed… he works on his own…” Blizzard said taking Hath’s sword and examing it with extreme interest “but what about the army I saw?” Hath asked sitting up. Blizzard looked up “That army… was Chang’s… and Chang’s army is a mere ant to Scorpion… now where to go you ask… I reconise this sword… if this is the one im thinking of then you must take it to the hidden blacksmith…” Blizzard told Hath running his cold blue finger down the sharp metal. Hath got out of the bed and put on his clothes “ummm…. Grandfather what will happen to you and the others while where gone?” Hath asked with curiosity taking the sword. Semus now released from Flame and Thunder walked in front of Hath and said “I and the other’s there are… will assemble an army and protect this village from attacks…” Semus spoke on “but just in case you get worried… I want you to take this…” Semus pulled something out of his Cloak and handed it to Hath “the mystical amulet…” Hath whispered. Semus smiled and pulled his hood up “your friend Kate won this… she said for us to give it to you… as a token of friendship” Semus told Hath. Hath had a deep expression of satisfaction on his face and put the amulet into a bag around his shoulder. They all walked towards the Gate being followed by Odin and his mother “here… Hath take Odin… He will come in Handy” Odin’s mother cried hugging her son. Hath nodded his head then looked around “hey… where’s Splinter?” Hath asked looking worried. “Here” Hath turned around and saw Splinter in his usual ripped blue shirt he looked much different in his kid form. “Come on we need to get to the blacksmith’s” Hath told them all grabbing a bow and some arrows. Splinter wrapped two cloths around his hands while Jane took a katana and started practising with it. Cloud sharpened his sword then put it away in his back holster, Kate loaded her bag with assassin weapons then looked at Hath surprised he hadn’t killed her yet, she picked a Furious sword up last and put it in her holster. Semus put his hand on Hath’s shoulder “farewell Hath… May god be with you…” with that Semus and the other’s walked away into the temple. Hath turned to his party took a look into the crystal ball Semus gave him and somehow knew where to go “where going east!” Hath said jumping onto his horse while the other jumped on there’s. They rode of into the mountains unsure what would happen next…
Chapter 20
Rangol
They drew up close to a high cliff they new there horses wouldn’t get up so Hath jumped of “we have to climb…” He told them. Everyone jumped of there horse apart from splinter “why don’t we just fly?” He asked looking around. “Yea…” They all said. Hath shrugged then tried taking of… His feet didn’t lift from the ground “urrrr…. Guys this aint working… we must be on some sort of ancient land…” Hath turned to them a bit confused “oh we don’t have to climb do we?” Kate laughed looking through her bag “ive got a rope in here somewhere…” Kate stopped and looked around “w…what was that?” Everyone looked confused apart from Kate who was going white. Ssssss… Hath looked at the mountain behind Kate “there’s something there…” Cloud drew his sword while Jane stood stiff like Kate. Odin and Splinter got of their horses and walked over to Hath and Cloud. SSSSsssss…. The noise went on Hath drew an arrow into his bow and ran up the hill peering over the edge but what he saw he didn’t like… Cloud, Splinter and Odin peered over the side and saw a giant scaly white dragon with silverfish flames going down its back to its large spiky tail. SSSSSSSsssssss….. Hath saw the dragon sleeping then got up “ive got an idea” Hath clomb down the mountain and got down near the dragon “Cloud get Kate to throw that rope down!” Hath called up as quite as he could. The next minute Kate was stood on top trembling in fear at the site of the dragon she then threw the rope down to Hath who caught it. Hath threw the rope around the dragons neck and started to tie it…but before he could tie a not it opened its eye… Hath looked up its head was bigger than a 50 foot boulder and its body which Hath had not noticed was humongous. The Dragon got up and stretched its large silver wings while scratching its neck with its giant nails, it looked down on Hath with its large crimson red eyes. Hath looked up at the now fully sized dragon which was now looking back down at him. It slowly bent down and sniffed Hath, then backed away cowering “ummm… im not going to hurt you… im human” Hath began to say walking towards it “well I know you are!” Hath heard it say “WHAT YOU CAN TALK!” Hath called. The dragon nodded then scratched its neck again “are you friendly?” Hath asked it. The dragon shrugged “sometimes… if they help me do something…like stop whatever is scratching my neck!” The dragon roared. Hath walked over to the dragon “ok ill help you” The dragon raised him onto his shoulder “its just here I cant see what it is but it scratches” Hath walked over to its large neck and saw something glowing “well… to stop it scratching im going to have to go into your mouth” The dragon looked utterly disgusted “A piece of meat in my mouth! That’s disgusting!” Hath looked confused “you’re a vegetarian?” The dragon nodded pulling a tree up from the ground and eating it. “Well if you want the scratching to stop your going to have to let me go n there and I don’t like it as much as you do…” The dragon gave a sigh and whispered, “I suppose so…” Hath clomb into the dragon’s mouth and started climbing down its bone to where the glowing orb was. Outside the Dragon was dying not to laugh holding its stomach. Hath eventually got to the glowing orb he tugged at it and in an instant it popped out. He clomb back up and out of its mouth dropping the orb into the dragon’s hand and climbing out onto its shoulder resting on its neck. The dragons eyes lit up with joy then started stroking the orb “its… my egg!!!” The dragon cried with happiness flying into the air with it then seeing the others stopped in mid air “oh… why hello are you friends of egg saver?” The dragon asked. Cloud nodded looking at Hath dangling from the dragons shoulder “well let me introduce myself! My name is Rangol the abandoned monster from the dark palace,” the dragon told them all calmy. Kate fainted of the cliff but landed on the soft palm of Rangol’s hand who put her back onto the cliff “so… you need help for what?” Rangol asked stroking his egg. “Well we need to get to the hidden blacksmith but we can’t get over that cliff” Hath pointed to the cliff. Rangol smiled, scooped every one up and started flying upwards “so… why are you heading to the hidden blacksmith’s?” Rangol asked narrowly missing an oncoming boulder “my grandfather told me to take my sword to him!
