Bittersweet Candy Bowl

Darkness…
That’s all you really see in space. Traveling from planet to planet. System to system. Universe to universe. It’s really all the same. Searching for purpose is a hazardous task. One must learn how to protect oneself, whether with weapons or armor or even an army to protect you. But all of those have disadvantages. Weapons can break, armor can weigh you down, and an army makes you lose free will. But on of the most powerful things one can muster to protect oneself and those he loves is by controlling… The Elements.

Chapter 1
Where am I?

It’s been years since the Cosmic Wars, a war of species; the main forces made up of Dragons, Humans, Demons, and Elementals. Since then all has been quiet and semi-peaceful. War is impossible to stop in the Cosmos. You stop 1 or even 100 and billions more start to rage. It’s the nature of living things. Nothing can be done. That much I’ve lived with. But when searching for a purpose, it can take a traveler to some really strange places…

A light starts flashing in Dominic’s personal starship. The monitor begins to say,

“Sir, two moral artifacts have been located in your sector. Continue?”

“Yes.”

“Artifacts, True Love and True Hope, have been locate on planet Earth #5224.”

“Another Earth? Computer, what life do we got down there?

“Signal shows no Humans, Sir.”

“Good. What about technology?”

“Signs show that they haven’t even reached nanotech yet.”

“That means that the local military won’t give me any trouble. Alright, get ready for my departure. And tell the fleet to stay away from this sector.”

“Are you ready to land Sir?”

“Land?”

“Well how else to you plan on getting on the planet, unless you…”

Before the computer could finish. Dominic jumped right out the back into space without a special suit or helmet.

“I should have hypothesized that he would do that.”

I’m hoping it ok that I comment here.
I like the beginning! Good grammar and spacing. I’m sure i’ll enjoy reading the rest.

Comments are welcome, oh yeah, i forgot…


FU***** YES, I FINALLY STARTED.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

sry, just excited

Did you see my comment on your last Thread?

Chapter 2
That Tingling Sensation

Once again, Darkness. Space would kill a regular person. But someone like me, its easy. All living things with powers are automatically attuned to the void that is space. But one problem of space… is landing.

Dominic started to feel strange, it happened before, many times, but its also different with different planets, especially when they got an atmosphere. Then Dominic started to light on fire. Strangely though, he wasn’t burning, the area around him was. As he approached the planet, he got redder and redder until he was entirely engulfed in flame. The ball of flame finally got though the outer sphere, he was about to make impact.

Meanwhile…

Mike was walking home after school, its been 2 weeks since Lucy told him that she loved him. It still haunted his memory. He could feel Sandy drifting away from him. But a phone call from her always boosted his confidence. He got into bed and looked out the window… and to his luck, he saw a shooting star!

“I wish I could be with Sandy.” he prayed, and fell asleep.

Meanwhile…
5000ft above the surface

Dominic braced for impact and… SPLASH!
He hit a large lake directly in the center. Being cleaned off of the charred layer that covered him from the fireball, Dominic swam with great precision to the shore, without breaking a sweat. A young woman, strangely to Dominic a cat-woman, looked at Dominic and screamed, and ran away.

“Yeah, I should have guessed.”

Dominic, even though was an Elemental, looked like a Human, but even the species living here didn’t even know what that was.

“Computer, I need a life-form report.”

The small monitor on his arm flashed on.

“Yes Sir, processing. Complete…
Life-forms identified,
Main species, Bipedal Cat Species, also Bipedal Dog Species. No other appropriate intelligent species.”

The screen flashed off and Dominic looked at the sky thinking of Flora.

“Well, time to get furry.”

Then Dominic was instantly was engulfed by smoke and appeared as a dark grey cat but with strange fur patterns that looked like symbols. Then the woman came back with what looked like an officer by the uniform.

“This is the alien?” the cop said.

“But, but, but…” the woman stuttered.

“Sorry officer, when I cleaned myself off, some water got in her eyes. I guessed that warped her vision.” Dominic said calmly.

“Very well, move along.”

Dominic walked into the town.

Chapter 3
That New Guy


Dominic moved through the town looking for a suitable place to sleep. He needed for the days ahead. Then he saw a large tree on top of a small hill. He examined it and saw that it would hold him. He then jumped up at least 20ft in one leap! He made himself comfortable and fell asleep.

The Next Day…

Once again school was a drag. Lucy avoided him. Paulo accused him. And Daisy and Abbey were doing their own thing. Tess was working on advanced school work and Susan was with Amaya doing girl things. That left Mike with no other options. He thought that reading a book at the Large Oak Tree would calm his mind. Maybe Lucy would not bug him this time to get some sleep. Mike sat at the bottom of the tree and started to read. For 30 minutes, Mike enjoyed his book in silence with the wind and the occasional passing car broke the silence. Until a voice came out of nowhere.

“Whatcha reading?”

“Who was that?”

“Just a curious person.”

Mike got up and looked around the tree for the person.

“Where are you?” Mike asked.

“I’m up here, in the tree. You looked so interested in that book that you missed a cute girl walk by. She looked disgusted at you for some reason, you friends?”

Mike looked up and in shock, saw a dark grey cat in the tree. He wasn’t even looking at him.

“How did you get up there.”

“I climbed, you should try it some time, wonderful view.”

“You said you saw a girl. What did she look like?”

“White fur, blue eyes, pink bow, pretty.” Dominic said calmly.

“Oh, we were friends.” Mike said with hurt in his heart.

“Okay,” Dominic could sense Mike’s distress, “Friends.”

“So who are you?”

Dominic perked up and jumped from his branch and landed softly on the ground. Mike backed off expecting him to b injured.

“The name is Dominic, I’m new around here.”

Another one in line for the FC Holocaust.

no holocaust…

IN MAH HOUSE!

Aria will find you eventually.

Chapter 4
Making Friends


“Hi. My name is Michael, but you can call me Mike.”

“Cool, so… about that girl, was she your girlfriend?” Dominic said.

“N…NO!!! I already have a girlfriend and she much nicer that her.”

“Okay, okay, don’t need to get emotional, I just met you.”

“Sorry, just stressed. So if your new, where do you live?”

Dominic didn’t say anything but pointed at the tree which he jumped out of.

“I’m a loner.” Dominic finally said.

“Oh, well if you need directions or people to hang out with, you can come to me.” Mike gave a friendly smile.

“Thanks, I’ll think about it.”

Mike started to walk home thinking that Dominic would just ignore his offering and…

“How about tomorrow?”

Mike swung around to see Dominic giving him a thumb up. Mike them nodded and said goodbye.

Relatively short,

The beginning of a good friendship.

I still like it.

Thanks

Light is a one-man fanbase.

Lies!

Truth, sammy is actually correct this time.

Chapter 5
Part of the Gang


The next day, Mike left home early to make a quick stop to the Oak Tree where he found Dominic staring at the early morning stars.

“You ready Dom.”

“For what?”

“School”

“I don’t go to school.”

“Why?”

“I’ve already graduated, I don’t need to go again.”

“Really? Wow… will you come anyway, you can be a foreign exchange student.”

“Fine. And Mike.”

“Yes?”

“Don’t call me Dom.”

“Okay, sorry.”

Mike and Dominic walked toward the school when they met up with Daisy.

“Hi Mikie, who’s your friend?”

“Daisy this is Dominic, Dominic this is…”

“Daisy, what a lovely name, nice to meet you.” Dominic interrupted.

Daisy blushed when she saw Abbey.

“Abbey, over here.” she called.

Abbey walked over and gave a blank look at Dominic whos hand was being crushed by Daisy’s grip of friendship.

“Abbey, this is Dominic, he’s Mikie’s new friend.”

Dominic held out his other hand to shake Abbey’s but he just went to Daisy and pulled her away from him.

“Nice to meet you, unfortunately we have to get to class, right Daisy.”

“But.”

And Abbey ran with Daisy to school.

“Sorry about Abbey, he just trust a lot of people.”

“It’s okay, shall we move on.”

Mike and Dominic got to the school and went to the office to register Dominic as a temporary student and went to their separate classes. They met again during lunch. Dominic was surprised that there were so many people at the table where Mike was. Then Mike saw he and motioned him in. An open chair was there for him set up by Mike. Dominic sat down and everyone went silent and stared at him. Mike was about to apologize when he saw that Dominic wasn’t embarrassed or scared. Then the silence was broken.

“Hi Dominic, I didn’t know you went to this school.” it was Daisy.

“Just joined, hello everyone, my name is Dominic, nice to meet you.”

The table easily accepted him. Introducing themselves; Paulo, Tess, Sue, Amaya(someone else introduced her), Kizuna, McCain, Jasmine, and Lucy.

“Hi” Lucy said quietly and went back to eating not wanting to get in with Mike’s new friend and hoping he wasn’t one of the many creeps who stalk her and beg for her love.

“Oh, come on Lucy, we need to treat him like a friend, perk up.” Tess said.

“Anyway, Dominic, where do you come from.”

This question poised Dominic with a problem, the geography of this Earth was the exact same as the Human Earth so he came up with,

“Russia.” Dominic named.

“In Soviet Russia, lamp turn you on.” Paulo blurted.
“Come on Paulo, just because David isn’t here because of his detention doesn’t mean you have to be immature.” Sue said angrily.

“It’s okay, I think it’s funny.” Dominic said with a chuckle.

Everyone looked at him and started laughing. They already liked their new friend.

LOD is just the only vocal fan.

Russia huh. Good choice! I like the russian language but I don’t know much of it.

I was going to say Poland, changed mind for some reason.

HOW LONG CAN DOMINIC HOLD IN HIS SECRET???

this you should have said
he came up with poland, then chainged his mind and went with
“Russia”

Light, you’re just sucking off Dotz now.

I have to admit this is pretty good.

who is dotz?

Chapter 6
Where Did You Say Your Were From Again?


Mike walked with Dominic back to the tree. Mike then asked Dominic about what he did in class.

“Well they gave out a test and skipped me, I asked for one and the teacher told me I didn’t have to since I didn’t study. I persisted and took it and got a 100 on it. Other than being drug to the more advanced classes by my ear, I was a good day. Daisy is very friendly, and Sue is wonderful.”

“Wonderful?”

“Yeah, she has a nice personality and was really helpful when I got lost. Paulo even stopped these strange two girls from trying to take advantage of me he says. I could have handled myself, I have a wif… I mean girlfriend.”

Mike didn’t appear to have heard ’wife’ which would have been very strange for a 15 year old. They reached the tree and Mike turned to see Lucy. She stared at first and then ran towards her house. Mike ran after her forgetting about Dominic.

“And I still don’t get what’s going on.”

“I could tell you, if you wanted.” a voice said from the darkness.

“And who are you hid in the shadows offering me information?”

“A friend.” it responded

“Friends would show their faces when talking.”

“Very well, my name is Augustus, and I can solve all of your problems.” he smirked.

Once again short, but with a punch.

hmm… read the first half a sentence… too tired to comprehend diminutive words. will get back to this one… eventually.

also, @lightordark: youve got a bit of brown on your nose… might want to clean that off…

Well, heres Augustus, but something seems different about him.

Haahaha this chapter makes me feel eeevil!

Wait for the next one.

Chapter 7
Then Just Add Some Darkness To The Mix


“I’m not interested.” Dominic said calmly, showing no signs of fear or nervousness.

“Shame, I probably could have helped you make this place second habit to you.” Augustus said with a touch of disappointment in his voice.

“I was getting towards the fact of what’s in it for you?”

“Nothing,” Augustus smiled again, “Just wanting to help someone new with life.”

“I’ll manage.”

“Very well, I must be off, we will see each other Very soon.”

Augustus started to slip back into the shadow before saying,

“Oh yes, you might want to watch out for Abraham, he’s watching you closer than you know.”

Augustus then was gone, into the shadow, almost like a whisper. Then Dominic sensed someone else’s presence. He heard footsteps and turned around.

“So, your working with him?” it was Abbey.

“No, he just offered, I didn’t want anything.”

“How do I know to believe you or not?”

“That’s up to you, I can’t make you change your mind, it has to be your choice.”

Dominic’s words hit Abbey hard, they were very powerful, like Augustus.

Abbey retaliated, “I know your not here just to make friends.”

Dominic’s eye raised, “What do you know about me?”

“I know that you have another purpose than to just come into our lives and be friends. You want something else, I can see it in how willing your were to be accepted into the group. I don’t trust you, and neither should anyone else. Stay away from me, stay away from everyone, especially Daisy.”

“You do not decide who they choose to be friends with.” Dominic was still very calm while taking.

“YOU DO NOT BELONG HERE!!”

Abbey threw a punch for Dominic’s jaw when in a flash, Dominic caught the punch in his hand. Abbey threw another punch with other hand but with the same result. Then before Abbey could kick him, Dominic squeezed tightly on both fists causing Abbey to go down on his knees. Before breaking Abbey’s hands, Dominic let go and started to walk away.

While painfully rubbing feeling back into his hands, he shouted, “They’ll never accept you!”

Dominic stopped, turned his head and said, “Acceptance is a gift, not a right.” and walked away.

I like. It’s unfortunate that Abbey doesn’t trust Dominic, but being wary keeps you alive. (Just to make sure Dominic is you Dotzrus right?)

Thats my real name.

Chapter 8
True Friends, True Enemies


The next day went smoothly, Abbey kept his distance from Dominic while the rest of the group happily enjoyed Dominic’s company. Mike then came to the table and greeted Dominic. Then Lucy came, looked at me then at Mike and walked off.

“Lucy, come back!” Mike yelled out to her and then got out of his seat to follow.

Paulo, Tess, Abbey, Daisy, Jasmine, and McCain all chased after them. Leaving Dominic and Sue.

“You want to come?”

“For what?”

“Mike and Lucy are probably going to argue again and its up to us to break it up.”

“I thought they were friends.”

“Well, there’s been some ups and downs to this relationship.”

Dominic, still confused, asked, “Could you tell me while we walk?”

“Sure.”

…Sue told me everything, from how Mike and Lucy met, to how they grew up. Fights they had to conversations they shared. She told me about when fights turned to brawls and how the others got evolved. She told me about Mike’s Sandy and how his love for her was great. But what really hit me was when I was told about Lucy, an outcast from the start, confessed her love for Mike and how he rejected her. Now I understood that this might led me to a purpose here. Maybe I’m meant to be here. Maybe. Maybe…
Dominic’s Log #367522

Dominic and Sue reached outside and what looked like what we expected. Friends holding down Mike and Lucy from killing each other. Then all of a sudden a great dark brown mass overshadowed Dominic. Dominic turned around to see…

“Welcome, Newco…”

Before it finished, Dominic punched the thing in the face so hard that it flew fifty feet into a rock and stuck into it. It was David. He then fell out of the rock and left his imprint into the stone. David was unconscious.

“What the hell?” Paulo asked shocked at what he saw.

“He killed him, he killed him” Paulo continued.

“He took me by surprise, he could have attacked me.” Dominic replied.

“Don’t worry, he’s not dead, he is just unconscious.” Sue was already at David feeling for pulse.

“How did you do that?” Lucy said with attitude.

“Do what, punch him?”

“MAKE HIM SMASH INTO THE ROCK!!” they all yelled.

“Uh… Uh… I take Kung Fu.” Dominic hesitated.

“What kind of Kung Fu? Chuck Norris Kung Fu.”

“Well…”

Dominic was trapped in-between truth and lies.

I see you used an altered version of your joke. Also Mike’s rejection of Lucy is why I respect Lucy. She is someone who gave their heart and had it stepped on. Kind of like me.

It seems that our alien friend is in a bit of a squeze.

Chapter 9
ALIEN!!


“Uh… Uhh.”

Dominic couldn’t say anything. He was trapped for his identity. He stood quiet and nervous(for the first time to them) until.

“Yes, Dominic, tell us who you really are.” it was Abbey.

“You know what? I gotta go, NOW.”

“Where to? You don’t have a real home, or a family, am I right?”

“My personal life does not concern you!”

“Really, then why do you get into OURS!” Abbey shouted.

“STOP!” it was Daisy.

“Please stop it, this doesn’t sound like you at all Abbey. What’s wrong.”

“This bastard should never be here! He’s an outcast with no family or home, he doesn’t deserve friends.”

“Then we’ll be his family.” Daisy started crying.

Then in a flash, Dominic clasped to Abbey’s head and in an instant, Abbey saw pictures, memories, of his entire past go by like lightning. Then Dominic let go and stepped back. Abbey felt woozy.

“What did you do?!?” Abbey shouted.

“Nothing of your concern.” and stormed off without saying anything, not looking at anyone before turning and saying,

“You should be more like Molly.” and walked out of sight.

Abbey stressed with shocked at what he witnessed,

“How did he know about her? What did he do to my mind?” he was then comforted by Daisy.

MIND MELD!!!

Memory transfer?

Same thing.

Light, you are such a suckup

@sammy …… The hell? How does guessing what just happened make me a suck up?

Chapter 10
Feels Like Forever


Dominic’s mind was like a raging torrent, thinking of what to do next. This is only one part of this world, surly I could continue the mission on another continent.

“You seem worried.” it was Augustus.

“What do you want?”

“To offer my help to a friend a second time.”

“Sorry, but I don’t need anyone’s help.”

“Still think you’re a loner, huh?”

“More than others.”

“That Abraham seemed to upset you for some reason, huh? Something about no family or friends? Seems like he needs to be punished, don’t you agree?”

“I will not assault anyone here, useless they threaten me.”

“Well we wouldn’t want anything to happen to Abrah…”

Both of them heard footsteps and Augustus melded back into the shadow. It was Mike.

“There you are Dominic, we were all looking for you.”

“All?”

“Well everyone but Abbey, he went to the nurse. What happened back there?”

“It’s not my place.”

“Please. We want to know.”

Dominic knew that they had a right to know. It was time.

“I looked at your friends memory.”

“What?”

“I went through your friends entire life memories. All of them.”
“Are you sure you didn’t fall out of that tree.”

“No, I’m telling the truth.”

“Are you sure, maybe you should go to the nur…”

Just then, Dominic placed his hand on Mike’s head and the memory flash happened again. All of Mike’s memories were repeated even when Lucy and Mike kissed. Then Dominic let go.

“What just happened?”

Dominic didn’t reply, but just stared at the evening star.

“You mean that you…”

“I’m not like you.” was Dominic’s only reply.

Guess: Correct.
And now it get’s more interesting.
(Do you need more info for my characters Dotzrus?)

Not yet. But soon, Very Soon.


Bwahahahahahhahahahhahahahahah.

sorry, bad cough there.

Chapter 11
I Knew It!! Ok, Maybe Not.


“I’m not a cat, or a dog, or any of those things. I am an Elemental.” Dominic admitted.

Mike stared at Dominic until finally saying,

“Why did you not tell us sooner?”

“Well you would just have screamed and ran away if you saw my true form.”

Then smoke covered Dominic and he turned into his Human body. Mike took a step back but then stopped a nodded.

“You are very brave Mike.”

“Yeah, thanks, I might have to sleep this off.”

“Hahahahahahahaha!” they both laughed.

Then out of nowhere, the others came around the corner in unison and stared at Dominic. David then shouted,

“ALIEN!!”

The rest didn’t do anything until Mike said,

“Guys, I would like you to meet my friend, Dominic.”

“Hello again.” Dominic said nervously.

Paulo fainted. Then Tess fainted on top of him. Then Jasmine on top of her. Then Lucy fainted away from them. Then Sue fainted on top of Jasmine. Then McCain tripped onto Sue. Then Kizuna fainted onto McCain. Then Daisy and Abbey fainted into each other. Amaya smiled and David jumped onto the pile for fun.

“I have some explaining to do, don’t I?”

Amaya is brave to, or just too cool to faint.

David is just obvious.

@Dotzrus Do you mean you’ll need more info soon or things’ll get interesting soon? Also can I call you Dominic?
