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.”
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.
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), Kizua, 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.
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.” said a voice from the darkness.
“And who are you hid in the shadows offering me information?”
“A friend.” it replied.
“Friends would show their faces when talking.”
“Very well, my name is Augustus, and I can solve all of your problems.” he smirked.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Kizua 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?”
Chapter 12
You In?
To make it quick, all of the fainted guys were dragged home, and David was held down and tossed into his front door. Mike said goodnight, Amaya went home, and Dominic went to his tree.
NEXT FLIPPIN DAY!!
Not a cloud in the sky, sun is shinning all of its light onto this morning. Saturday. The beginning of a beautiful weekend. Mike walked to the tree to greet Dominic. He wasn’t there. Mike got together with the rest of the gang who discussed about Dominic’s true form. They all found him in the middle of the local park as a cat again, sitting in some shaded grass, meditating.
“Uh, hi Dominic.” Mike said with confusion in his voice.
“Shouldn’t you all be in school.”
“It’s the weekend. No school. Whatcha doing?”
“Feeling the Cosmic Order around me, feeling all living things around me, sensing their every move without seeing, hearing, or touching. That’s why I knew that all of you were here without looking at you and that David is picking his nose behind all of you.”
They all turned to David, who was indeed, picking his nose.
“Aww man. Not cool dude.”
“Grooooss!” the girls all cried.
“Anyway, I sense you have questions for me, and do believe I owe you answers. But let me start you off. My name is Dominic, I am an Elemental, my species is a Neo Alpha. I can control many of the nature Elements and some not so natural. I came here from another Universe in search of an artifact here. I also came here for some R&R but it seems your troubles won’t even let that happen. I did not mean for me to cause any trouble, but Mike was kind enough to offer his friendship, which I grateful for.”
“Prove it.” it was Abbey again, crossing his arms in disbelief.
“Alright, you all deserve proof too.”
Dominic then held out his hand to the nearest water fountain. He closed his hand and the fountain exploded!
“Holy shit!!” Paulo yelled.
But Dominic continued his demonstration, he open his hand and slightly waved it around and the fountain reformed back together, in one piece. Then he held his up to them and a flame out of nowhere appeared in hand. It wasn’t burning him. He then changed it into water which he then threw at Mike. The ball of water hit him square in the face. Then Dominic stood up and held his hand up to Mike, and with a quick reflex, wind started coming out of Dominic’s hand and dried Mike off.
“Anything else?”
Everyone else shook their heads no, except for Abbey who countered,
“Tricks, illusions, a.k.a., FAKE.”
Daisy looked at him hurt at his unwillingness to believe. Then Dominic looked at all of them and with a big smile said,
“You want to try it?”
Chapter 13
Fire, Water, Earth, Air; With your powers combined, I am Captai…
Ahh screw it.
“You mean your going to give us powers?” Tess asked baffled by the fact.
“Yes.”
“So we can fight bad guys?” David blurted.
“Sure.”
“Do we get to choose?” This time it was Mike.
“You have already chosen.”
“WHEN??” they all asked.
“Your personalities have already given me decision of what to give you, to do this you must obey three rules.”
“What?”
“1. You must NEVER use you power in front of others without powers useless it is a time of great crisis or someone’s life is threatened.
2. You must swear to go though the training, ALL OF IT.
3. You must TRUST me.”
“What if we don’t follow these rules.” Abbey wanted to know.
“Well, then I would have to kill you.”
They all turned to Dominic in shock.
“Your bluffing.” Abbey continued on.
Dominic out of nowhere formed a dark blue sword with strange markings on it and held it up to Abbey’s neck. The cold metal gave Abbey goose bumps.
“This is a Chaos Long Sword, crafted from Adamantium, which means it can cut though pure diamond, and still come back for more, or I could drop the sword, and create a mini black hole in your chest causing you to implode. Either way, your silenced.”
They all stared at Dominic in silence, was he really capable of doing such powerful and destructive things? What was he planning to do if he gave them all Elemental powers?
Chapter 14
Unleash Your Inner Self
“Well, are you in? I won’t kill you if you say no. You simply move back to your lives, and as an added bonus, I’ll stay out of your lives, it’ll be like I was never here. What do you think?”
The rest of the group shifted uneasily. Daisy looked at Abbey with intensity knowing at what he was thinking.
“Well…” Mike stopped, everyone looked at him for speaking. Then he continued,
“Could we make up our minds and tell you tomorrow?” he finally said.
“Sure, I’m not in any rush, please take your time. I understand its’ a life changing decision.”
And with that, Dominic opened a portal with a motion of his hand, he walked through, and the portal disappeared.
“That was cool!” David yelled.
“Yeah…cool” Mike whispered.
The group went their separate ways, thinking about their choice to make. Mike heard from behind him,
“I’m not doing it.” It was Lucy.
“Why?”
“I don’t trust him.”
“Why wouldn’t you trust him?”
“Why would anyone just walk into our lives just to give us unimaginable powers free of charge? Sounds pretty suspicious.”
Mike then thought of the truth behind that. But then Sandy came to his mind. These powers might give him a chance to see her.
“I’m doing it.”
“WHAT?” Lucy yelled.
“I trust him. I don’t know about you, but I’m going to do it, and you can just stay here and have a boring ordinary life while I’m doing the incredible.”
With that, Mike stormed off. Lucy was left there, crying. She didn’t trust Dominic, but she didn’t want to give up Michael, not yet. She ran home.
Chapter 15
A New Virtue:
Trust
…The Next Day…
Sunday morning, Mike finally woke up after sleeping in. He heard a noise from his window. Ting. Then he heard it again. Ting. He crawled out of bed to the window. TING.
He opened the window and a rock smashed him square in the face. Everyone was in Mike’s yard, looking up at the window for Mike. Then they all looked at David who was the one throwing the stones. Mike got his scarf, grabbed some buttered toast and before he got out the door,
“What happened to your nose?” it was Mike’s mom.
“Guess I slept on it wrong.”
“Do you need a bandage?”
“No, I’ll be fine.”
‘After I beat the living daylights out of David.’ Mike said to himself.
“Alright, have a good time with your friends.”
“Thanks, see ya mom!”
Mike ran out to greet his friends. He looked at David and pummeled his face left and right until Sue and Tess held him back. Paulo laughed with Jasmine, and Lucy just stared at them, emotionless. They all walked to the park. Dominic wasn’t there. Then a flash of red light appeared above them. It got brighter and a man landed in front of them. He looked like Dominic’s true form but with different features and clothes. He had a strange symbol on his chest like Dominic’s, but backwards. He then spoke with a dark voice,
“Greetings, my name is Insanity, servant of Unity. Do you know if there are any warriors of Chaos here that I may purify them this world?”
Everyone looked at the man, thinking of whether or not to answer him. He clearly wanted Dominic, but to purify him, whatever he meant by that. They notice his sword, gun, and what looked like an orb of some sort, things that one would usually bring if one was trying to be friendly.
"TELL ME WHERE THE CHAOS INFECTION IS NOW!!” Insanity boomed.
His quick tempered shocked all of them. Paulo started to back away when the man drew his sword.
“YOU ARE ALL CORRUPTED! YOU MUST ALL BE PURIFIED IN THE NAME OF UNITY!!”
Insanity approached them slowly. Tess tried to run away but ran into nothing. It was like an invisible barrier! He was almost within slicing range when he felt a tap on his shoulder.
“Hey, creeper.” Insanity turned around to see Dominic, “Leave them kids alone.”
Dominic then punched the man in the face so hard that it sounded like all of Insanity’s bones in his face broke. Insanity got up and swung his sword at Dominic but each slice was parried by Dominic’s sword. Then Insanity drew his gun and fired what looked like an intense beam of energy which Dominic just vanished into thin air and reappeared behind the man. Dominic then took the butt of his sword and smashed Insanity in the back of the head, bringing him down to the ground.
“Teleporting, no fair” Insanity groaned.
“No, I'm just faster than you.”
Then Dominic held his hand up to Insanity and suddenly, Insanity caught on fire. Insanity didn’t do anything but stand up.
“Ha, I too control Elements, fire does not hurt me.”
Just then Insanity waved his hand at Dominic which caused spikes of earth to come out of the ground to impale Dominic. Dominic then quickly maneuvered to avoid the deadly spikes and shot a ball of darkness at Insanity hitting him in the chest making him unable to move. Before Insanity got up, Dominic was on top of him with his sword and another identical sword(which came out of nowhere) to Insanity’s neck.
“Curse you, you scourge of the Cosmos. Chaos will never take over the Cosmos.”
“Unfortunately, Chaos isn’t the one trying to assimilate all living things under tyranny. Unity is the true enemy to all, not Chaos, Chaos simply keeps balance.”
Insanity turn his head to Mike and the others,
“Do not believe his lies, he will kill you when you back is turne…”
And with that, Dominic pulled both of his identical blades together, killing Insanity. Dominic then stood up and with a wave of his hand, Insanity’s body disintegrated. He then turned to them,
“Sorry about that, happens all the time if your someone like me. But please ignore this bastard, Unity scouts are thick-headed and large temper, but there’s more of him where that comes from… Anyway, did you make up your mind?”
They all couldn’t get out of their mind of what Insanity said. Don’t trust him. Don’t trust him. He’ll kill you. He’ll kill you. But then Mike stepped forward and proudly stated,
“I’m in.”
Chapter 16
Everybody Only Gets One.
“I want to join.” Mike continued.
The rest of them were stunned, but then Paulo stepped forward,
“I’m in too.”
“Same here,” it was Jasmine.
“Count me in.” David said cheerfully, “ I want to fight bad guys.” getting fucked in the ass was right behind him happy to be near David,
“Might as well.” McCain said quietly.
“Don’t forget us.” Sue said while looking at Amaya who nodded happily.
“This will be fun,” Tess was walking towards the group.
“Me too.” Daisy said in a firm voice.
Everyone looked at her with concern, but not for her. They all looked at Abbey who was in shock at Daisy’s reply.
“But he killed that man…”
“If he didn’t do it, he would have killed us. Dominic was trying to protect us, don’t you understand Abbey.” Daisy said while giving a sad look at Abbey who was stuck.
Tears were coming out his eyes when he heard his girlfriends final answer. He stuttered until,
“Fine… I’ll do it, BUT NOT FOR HIM!! I’m only doing it for you, Daisy.”
They hugged, then everyone turned to Lucy who was staring at her friends in disbelief.
“I…I…I don’t know.” she started crying. The girls went to comfort her.
“It’ll be okay, you can trust him, you can trust all of us. We would never let anything happen to you,” Sue said with a comforting voice. Lucy looked up with blurred eyes at Mike who turned away. She continued crying until…
“I’ll try.”
They all hugged. Except for Dominic who all of a sudden, saw a vision, he was used to it before, comes with powers of Chaos, unpredictable, this, he could easily tell was a futuristic vision. He saw Mike, on his knees, looking at a white cat with black hair that Dominic had not seen, Mike was crying and turned around to see Lucy. But she was different, she had Unity symbols on her. She showed no fear or sadness, only anger and hate. Mike backed away and Lucy walked slowly toward him with a metal glove with long claws, with blood on them. The vision blacked out, and Dominic heard a boy scream.
He opened his eyes to reality. Lucy was happy again and everyone ready for the once in a lifetime chance to get these powers Dominic promised. Dominic had this happen many times before, but he knew that there are many different possible futures, this could have been one out of a thousand different futures, time could only tell. But for know…
“Good, I’m happy your all in. I will grant you your powers tomorrow and begin training. I need rest, all of us do. So…… Goodnight.”
They all were surprised at what he had just said. They just got there and it was 9:00am. Mike looked at his watch and saw the time was 7:00pm. They all saw Dominic walking away when David blurted,
“Hey Mr. Dominic, HOW OLD ARE YOU??”
Dominic stopped, turned, smiled, and walked away.
“If I told you that, you would wet yourself.” he said to himself.
Chapter 17
Intermission
Slumber Party, Part 1
The girls came to a decision to have a slumber party before they were giving Elemental powers as celebration. Before going to Tess’s house for the party, they told the guys.
“That’s stupid, why would you celebrate if your going to be yelled at, overworked, and using every muscle to the limit. Training isn’t fun. Abbey pointed out.
“Can I come, PLEASE!” Paulo begged.
“NO!! Girls only, and were going to invite ALL of the local girls.” Sue confirmed.
“All of them, and you plan to tell them that you have a friend from outer space who is going to you super powers out of friendship?” Mike countered.
“No. Were going to tell them that it’s just a party, for no reason, but just for fun.” Tess finished.
The girls all walked away leaving the boys alone, to themselves.
“This sucks. It could have been more fun with one guy, me, and all of the local girls.” Paulo moaned.
Then they all heard a voice from behind them,
“Ah, women, still the one thing that’s still a mystery to me.” it was Dominic.
“Oh, hey Dom.” David said sadly.
“DON’T CALL ME DOM!” he shouted, “I’m not a big fan of nicknames.”
“Sorry.”
“It’s okay. So they dump you or something.”
“Their having a girls only slumber party. I personally think it’s stupid.” Mike replied.
“Oh well, that they way women are.”
“Didn’t you say you had a girlfriend?” Paulo suddenly asked.
“Yes, except that were actually married. I didn’t want to tell you that because I didn’t want you to think I was one of those ‘Have sex, get married early’ people.”
“Oh, all right.” Mike said thinking about Sandy.
“So, you guys want in on this party?”
“WHAT?” they all shouted.
“Well, there are two things I could do. One, I could make strange things happen that would ruin the party, like making all of the food levitate and hit people, or make the lights flicker constantly and make creepy noises that usually scare girls that age, or infest it with insects. Either way, we get a laugh.”
“And option number two?” Abbey asked interested in Dominic’s plan.
“Or… I could transform us all into girls, and we could go into the party, and learn some of their secrets, disguised as girls, although I’m worried that David would ruin it.”
“No I wouldn’t!” David reacted.
“Oh don’t give me that. If I turned you into a girl, you would feel your breasts the entire time.”
David shut up, he knew Dominic was right, the others laughed.
“Same goes for you Paulo, you would play spin the bottle with the girls, and tell them to take their tops off.”
Once again, Dominic was right.
“Anyway, what’s your choice?” Dominic finally asked.
“OPTION TWO!!” Paulo and David yelled.
“I’m okay with #2.” McCain said.
“I’ll go with two.” Abbey replied, actually liking Dominic’s plan.
“It’s all up to you Mike.” Dominic looked at him waiting for the finally answer.
Mike grew an enormous grin,
“Let’s do it.”
Chapter 17’
Intermission
Slumber Party, Part 2
“Ready?” Dominic said calmly, noticing the other guys nervousness.
“Okay, were ready.” Mike answered for all of them.
Dominic, without another word lifted his hand at the other guys and a light radiated from them. Their physical forms were changing, they were getting shorter, thinner, prettier, and LARGER CHESTED! Dominic looked at his work and smiled.
“Well, how do we look?” Mike asked in his new feminine voice.
“Good, good,” Dominic said embarrassed, “Just a few minor details to fix.”
Dominic raised his hands at Mike and McCain, McCain’s clothing turned into a dress and Mike’s scarf turned into a bow.
“That’s better.” Dominic then looked at David, who was crying.
“Now what? Breasts too small.” Dominic said angrily.
“NO! NO! NO! MY DICK IS GONE!” David screamed.
Then all of the guys looked down and moaned at the agonizing fact.
“Well, that’s what happens when you’re a girl, just live with it, you’ll get it back before the night is over.” Dominic said ashamed at the guys immaturity.
“Do we have til Midnight like Cinderella?” Abbey asked looking at his sexy tail.
“No, I will turn you back once were done. Just try to stay calm and act girly, I guess.”
Then Dominic was engulfed in a cloud of smoke and emerged as a dark grey female cat, very attractive, and with a beautiful voice.
“Alright girls, lets party.”
They walked toward Tess’s house, the music could be heard from around the block. They turned the corner and saw have many girls there were. There were about 250 and a lot of security guards walking around.
“Don’t worry, we have the best disguise, just look.”
They looked at what Dominic was pointing at, it was Carson, crying, he had been kicked out. Then there was Carter with cheap lipstick on and a box on his ear.
“I Love Lucy.”
The guys(girls, but you get the point) walked toward the door and were stopped by a hulking security guard.
“Names.”
Dominic spoke up,
“My name is like, Darby(Dominic), this is like Michaela(Michael), Patricia(Paulo), Monica(McCain), Abigail(Abbey), and Danielle(David), and were here to party!”
“Go through.”
They all walked in nervously and Dominic turned to them,
“And that’s how done girls. Remember the plan, no screwing around, and if you have to go to the bathroom, HOLD IT.”
It was going to be a long night.

“Hey Dominic, can I ask you a question?” Paulo came up from behind him, still unbalanced in his feminine form.
“Remember, there are a lot of girls around. Here my name is Darby, what do you want.”
“Darby,” Paulo corrected himself(herself), “Do you think that you could…”
“ No.”
“What about…’
“No.”
“Maybe…”
“No.”
“Oh, come on, you don’t even know what I was going to say.”
Dominic grabbed Paulo by his neck and carried him into an unnoticed corner of the room.
“I knew exacting want you wanted me to do. Yes I can do them, but I will not.” he hissed.
“Then what would I’ve asked?”
“One, you wanted me to disintegrate some of the girls clothing. Next, you wanted me to put something in the drinks to get them all in a drunk state. Lastly, you wanted to make all of the girls go into heat. You’re a real pervert Paulo. Maybe I should turn you back into a boy and see what tortures the girls of this planet give to a horny stalker.”
Paulo fell into a complete silence at the thought of torture. Dominic then let go of his neck and walked toward the stairs.
“Oh yeah Patricia, don’t play spin the bottle.”
Meanwhile on the second floor…
Mike was looking for some of the girls he knew. He then found Lucy sitting alone while drinking some soda.
“Is this seat taken?” Mike said acting like he never knew her.
“Yeah, it’s where my imaginary friend sits.” Lucy didn’t even look at Mike.
“Well I hope you don’t mind if I sit of it then.” Mike sat down.
Lucy turned to see girl-Mike. She studied him with a curious eye, and then,
“Do I know you?” Lucy asked thinking that she knew this strangely familiar girl.
“No, no, I don’t know you, I just saw that you were lonely.” Mike lied.
“My name is Micaela, what’s yours.”
“Lucy.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Girls are stupid. All they do is talk about hair, fashion, and…”
“Boys?” Mike interrupted.
“Yeah.”
“Are you thinking of any boys?” Mike asked with a small smile.
Lucy paused, looked at Mike, got up, and said,
“Yeah, in fact, I need to find a specific Dark Grey cat.” Lucy started to walk away.
Lucy then turned her head and looked at Mike and smiled,
“Also, Micaela, please tell Sandy I said hi.”
Mike spit out some soda he was drinking as he saw Lucy walk down the stairs.
“I need to find Dominic, our mission is in jeopardy!” Mike said to himself.
Meanwhile…
Dominic found David and Abbey outside at the pool, not swimming, just watching.
Dominic noticed Abbey looking at Daisy, who was just swimming gracefully in the water. David on the other hand was looking at the stars, doing nothing perverted, just looking at the beautiful sky.
“Enjoying the night air you two?”
Abbey looked at Dominic, smiled, and looked back down at Daisy, looking so happy to be with friends. David didn’t reply, just looked at the stars in awe.
“I surprised Danielle(David), you actually have been very good today so far.”
David then turned to Dominic crying.
“What’s wrong?” Dominic asked confused.
“I HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM!!”
Abbey fell out of his chair and looked at David, scared.
Dominic, still calm, asked,
“Drink too much punch?”
“YES!”
“Oh, Fuck.”

Slumber Party, Part 4
Mike ran all around the house looking for Dominic until he was questioned,
“What’s wrong, lost in my big house?” it was Tess with Sue and Amaya.
“No, just looking for a friend.”
“Well, we could help you, we have all night.” Sue said kindly.
“No, no, I’ll find him… I mean her.”
Mike started sweating, he could ruin the entire plan. The three girls looked confused at him.
“Do we know you?” Tess asked with concern in her voice.
“Of Course Not!” Mike blurted, “I’ve never met you in my life. I was just invited by a friend.”
“Well, maybe we know your friend.” Sue happily said.
Amaya nodded. Mike felt uneasy, his vision was getting all colorful, he felt like fainting when he saw Dominic with David, walking to the nearest bathroom. He then saw Lucy, walking toward them, totally unaware. Then he saw Paulo walking toward Lucy. How could Mike stop all three into knocking into each other and get away from Tess and Sue at the same time? But he saw Dominic’s ears twitch, like he sensed the danger.
“How about we go to another bathroom.”
“But I have to go real bad!”
“I know, but this ones taken.”
One down, now he had to stop Paulo to getting to Lucy. Mike barged through Tess and Sue and grabbed Paulo’s wrist with one hand and clamped his mouth with the other. Paulo struggled to break free when he lost balance and fell over a girl. With Mike still holding on, they both fell on the ground. Abbey and David both ran over to help them up and McCain lifted Mike off of Paulo, then Paulo yelled,
“JESUS CHRIST MIKE!!”
The entire party just stopped, EVERYTHING. People stopped drinking, or dancing, or swimming. They were all in shock that someone in the party was called ’Mike’, a boy’s name. Then Kizua bumped into a girl, who was in the shocked state, fell back and ran into the guys. Kizua knocked all of them off balance and they all were flung into the outdoor pool. Kizua’s headphones touched the water and she, and the rest of the boys were electrocuted and suck beneath the surface. After a minute, all of them popped there head out of the water. By now all of the girls at the party were there, watching. Then everyone was in complete shock. The electricity had stopped the illusion, and all of the guys in the water came out as boys again. Dominic watched in horror from the side of the pool. The guys looked at the hundreds of guys who stared at them in hatred. getting fucked in the ass was then pulled out. Only the boys were left. Paulo backed away from the edge to the other side. Girls surrounded the pool. All smiling at the prey in the pool. Then Tess called out to the rest of the girls,
“Well, it looks like the Grand Finale of the party has just arrived. I guess we should treat them in the proper Girls Only Slumber Party fashion.”
One of the security guards came up to Tess,
“Should we remove them from the area?”
“No, I think the girls want to have a little fun with these cleverly disguised girls.”
All of the girls started jumping in the pool and securing the boys, grabbing arms and legs and taking them out of the pool. They were all struggling to get out. Dominic was now thinking of what to do. Too many girls around to save them. Too many witnesses to use powers. While he was distracted, Lucy came up behind him and said,
“Oh, don’t think that your going to miss out on this party.”
Before Dominic could react, Lucy smashed him in the back of the head with a golf club from the shed. Dominic felt cold, sight blurred, then darkness.

Slumber Party, Part 5
Dominic woke up in a dark room. He was chained to a wall. He was no longer a girl, but he was still in cat form. Around him were the other guys, all unconscious. Some more boys were also their, all of which he didn’t recognize. He saw Mike start to stir.
“Where am I?”
“Don’t know, Lucy knocked me out before I could help you guys, I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay. We couldn’t do anything anyway. What happened though?”
“The electricity fried the disguise, but that’s all I want to say, others are awake here.”
“That’s right *sniff* I was also captured *sob* they saw me crying and offered me happiness *tears*, they lied to me, knocked me out. I could have escaped, but that would make them sad *sniff*, I’m not a mean person, just powerful.”
Dominic looked at the crying wreck. He saw that he wore all blue, and tears stained his face. Then Dominic’s eyes widen when his saw a Chaos symbol on the depressed cat.
“What’s your name?” Dominic eagerly asked.
“I am Sadness. I came here to get away from all the fighting, I thought that I may be happy here, but I can never be happy *sob*, these girls are mean.”
“I see that you are a Chaos servant.”
“Yeah *sniff* what’s it to you?”
“As am I.”
Sadness looked at Dominic and saw his markings. Sadness smiled and said,
“Nice to meet you.” he then went back to crying.
“Sadness, how come no one else is waking up?” Dominic changed the topic.
“They are all drugged. You and me are fine because of our blood being immune to these drugs.”
“What about my friend Mike then, why is he not asleep?”
“Because *sniff*, they are going to choose him next.” Sadness then started crying again.
“Chosen, for what?” Mike said freaked out.
Sadness continued to cry, still not answering the question. A door opened, and Tess and two other girls walked in.
“Well, well, well. Looked at what the cat dragged in.”
“Oh, wow, funny.” Dominic said sarcastically, “what do you plan to do to use know? Torture? Trust me, I been though millions of tortures in my life, I’ll never snap.”
“Of course you won’t, but your just going to watch. You may be resistant, but Mike isn’t.”
“Oh, I get it. But what do you hope may come out of this?”
“Well, maybe a good laugh, or maybe PLEASURE.”
Mike’s jaw dropped. Tess laughed.
“Just kidding, I not evil, but I know after this GAME, one little unhappy girl with a cute pink bow will be happy for the rest of her life.”
“You don’t mean.” Mike said angrily.
“I can already see what the plan is.” Dominic said looking at Mike.
“Then please Dominic, enlighten him.”
“Sorry Mike, I can see they plan on trying to hypnotizing you, and if that doesn’t work, torture.”
Mike looked pale. Sadness then stopped crying and said,
“Please, let them go, they haven’t done anything wrong.”
“Breaking in on a Girls Only slumber party isn’t wrong? Trying to learn our secrets isn’t wrong? They deserve it.”
“Then let Sadness go!” Dominic yelled, “He didn’t do anything, you brought him in for no reason.”
“Good point, guards!”
Then a bunch of girls came in through the door, unlocked Sadness’s chains, and walked him out.
“Thank *sniff* you.”
“Happy?”
“Much so, what do plan on doing to the rest after Mike?”
“Pretty much the same thing. Jasmine gets Paulo. Daisy gets Abbey. Sue gets McCain. And getting fucked in the ass gets David.”
“It won’t work.” Dominic said laughing.
“Why not?” Tess said angrily.
“David’s too stupid for hypnotism or torture to work, and Daisy is too nice to torture Abbey.”
“Then David gets locked in a room with getting fucked in the ass. All of the girls have agreed to torture, even Daisy. It’s amazing what love makes a woman do.”
“And rest of the captured guys?”
“There are many desperate girls out there, really wanting a man, we could do this til morning.”
“And what about me?”
“Oh, we’ll figure that out very soon.”
Dominic heard footsteps from behind. It was Lucy.
“If you hit me in the head with that freaking golf club again, I’ll…” *DING*
Darkness…
Chapter 17

Slumber Party, Finale
“Ladies and… Ladies. I am proud to announce that tonight, we will make one lucky girl, if not more, embrace the dream that all girls have. Finding a man.” Tess blasted on the megaphone.
All of the girls in the stadium screamed, shouted, and cheered at the event. Lucy was standing in the ring, focused at what see was going to do. Tess continued,
“First, we have Lucy, age 14, who is about to face the boy that she spent her life with. He who so rudely and selfishly rejected her for a girl in Europe who he hasn’t seen in years. Lucy, out of true love, admitted her feelings to him. He continued to reject her and is now going to pay for it, through love.”
Dominic heard from below and gagged. He then turned to Mike, who looked like a rag doll.
“Women are so emotional. Don’t worry Mike, I’ll get us out of this mess. All of us. Just give me a sec.”
Dominic then mumbled a few words, and his shackles broke. Dominic hopped down from his prison and the alarm went of.
“Mike, how fucking rich is this girl?”
There was banging on the door. Five girls with SWAT gear and Tasers, rushed in. Mike looked back at Dominic, but he disappeared. Then one of the girls grunted and fell to the ground. The other four looked at her when another went down. One more went down and the remaining two ran. Both were stopped by some invisible force holding their tails. Both of their heads were bashed together leaving all five unconscious. Dominic then reappeared over them.
“Who says I’m not afraid to hit a girl.” Dominic boasted.
The alarm was still going a Mike’s prison started to rise. Dominic ran to the cell, but was too late. The cell went into the ceiling and appeared in the stadium. Mike looked in horror at all of the girls watching him, booing and cursing. He then looked at Lucy who was looking at him with emotionless eyes. Then the entire crowd stopped, complete silence. Finally Lucy spoke up,
“I didn’t want this to happen, you were my life, and you betrayed me.”
Then, the cell holding mike went back into the ground, Mike was left on the pillar, still chained. The edges of the ring rose into an inescapable wall. Mike’s chains were unlocked and the pillar suck back into the earth. All that was left was Mike and Lucy, with no escape.
“This is your last chance.”
“To do what, say I love you?” Mike hissed.
“No… TO SUBMIT!!”
“This is crazy Lucy, your not this kind of person.”
“First, we go this easy way.” Lucy quietly said.
Then the walls turned into giant TV screens. They had swirls on them, constantly moving in circles. They were trying to hypnotize him! Lucy put on a pair of protective glasses and slowly walked toward Mike. Mike, trying not to look at the screens crawled away from Lucy. Then a high pitch screech came from the screens, hurting Mike’s ears. Lucy had Mike in a corner. She picked Mike up from the neck and shoved him in the corner. Mike tried to get her off him, but every time he moved his hands away from his ears to stop her, the painful noise stopped him. Lucy was so close to Mike, that even through the noise, he could her whisper,
“Make love to me.”
Mike shivered, the noise messing his ears, the walls messing with his brain, and Lucy, messing with his emotions. Mike was about to snap when he heard someone shout,
“Here I come!” it was Dominic, who on top of one of the hypno-walls.
Dominic had different clothing on, he had a Indy-hat and a whip. He was holding a rope tied to the ceiling and jumped (Cue Indiana Jones Theme Song). Dominic was gaining speed toward Mike and his assaulter. Dominic grabbed Mike and swung away from Lucy. On the second go around, Dominic was about to jump with Mike when the rope snapped, and both of them landed in the ring.
“Damn it! I thought that might work.” he said saddened that his awesome plan didn’t work.
Dominic looked at Mike who was cringing at the hypno-walls and high pitched screech which didn’t bother Dominic. Dominic then took out four silver pellets and threw one at each screen. The pellets exploded and the screens and the loud noise were both stopped. Mike was no longer in pain, but was still very dizzy. Lucy screamed,
“SO CLOSE, SO CLOSE!!”
“Time to end this.” Dominic yelled.
Dominic then pulled out another item, it was a large black orb with a giant question mark on it. He pressed a button on it and threw it at the center of the stadium. Smoke emitted from the orb and the entire stadium was in Chaos(no Elemental pun intended). Then it started calming down. Lucy was about to charge Dominic with her golf club and when she inhaled the smoke.
“What is this?” she said while in a dizzy state.
“It’s a custom device designed to cause everyone here to completely lose their memory of tonight and give them a suggestion to go home. Once under the smoke’s influence, everyone will sleep walk back home and wake up tomorrow morning, without a single memory of this event.”
Mike was covering his mouth, but some smoke went in. He went unconscious but his body got up and started walking on it’s own. The entire stadium was filled with zombie like people, sleep walking back to their homes. The party was over. Dominic grabbed the club from Lucy, who was now in that state, and broke it in halve.
“I fucking hate these things. Now I know how Tiger Woods felt like with his wife knocking him over the head with these things.”
Two minutes later, the stadium was empty. No one other than Dominic would remember the events that had happened. Dominic saw the sun rise, and with his Indy-clothes still on, he walked into the sunlight.
“It belongs in a museum.” Dominic smiled.
Chapter 18
No Longer Intermission
A New Day
Well, these kids are special, I don’t know why, but they just keep me thinking…
…
No, I won’t be here forever, I’ve just taken a side path while still looking for True Hope and True Love…
…
Of course not, you are my true love, I’m just looking for a moral artifact called True Love…
…
Maybe, but first I want this place clean of any enemies before you can come…
…
Okay, I’ll talk to you later…
…
Love you too…
…
Bye.
Dominic turned of the transmitter on his arm. He looked at the caller I.D. and saw Flora’s picture. He sighed and jumped down from his tree. He looked around and saw Daisy running toward him.
“Morning Dominic.”
“Good morning Daisy.”
“Ready for today?”
“I should be asking you that question Daisy.”
“Well, I am a little nervous, but I am still willing to trust you.”
Dominic smiled at the thought. People still could trust him even though he is a all-powerful being that could make a house explode just by spitting at it.
“Do you want to come wake up the others?”
“Sure. You can go find Abbey, Sue, Amaya, and McCain, and I will go find Mike, Paulo, David, getting fucked in the ass, and Lucy.”
“Okay, and we’ll meet you back here?”
“Sounds good.”
…Meanwhile…
The sun shined through Lucy’s window into her eyes. She woke up with a groan.
“What happened last night?” she asked herself, “All I can remember is hitting someone over the head with a golf club. It looked like Dominic, but a girl.”
“Maybe it was Flea!” Yashy lashed out.
“Don’t be silly, Mike would have been a mile away if he ever saw Lucy with a golf club.”
“True. Hey mommy, what are you planning to do today? Your calendar has a big circle on today’s square. Are you and Flea planning a date or something.” Yashy nudged.
“Heck No! It’s just… I’m starting Yoga classes today.” she lied.
“Cool, can I come?” Chirpy asked.
“No, sorry, cats and dogs only.”
“Aww Man!”
Lucy tied her bow on and ran down stairs, ate breakfast and opened the door. Dominic was standing right there. His hand was in a fist about to knock the door.
“Hi.” Lucy said nervously.
“Hello. Are you ready?”
“Yeah, where are the others?”
“At the big oak tree. You mind running over there, I all ready got everyone else there, but I need to run a small chore before we begin.”
“Who’s this creep?” Yashy said from below.
“Uh…Uh, this is my Yoga teacher. Sensei Dominic.”
“Nice to meet you, and you are?”
“None of your business.” she mocked back.
“Yashy, show some respect.” Lucy hissed.
“Not until he proves I can trust him…”
Yashy’s jaw dropped when she saw the giant lollipop that Dominic pulled out. He waved it around and Yashy’s head followed it in a trance-like state. Dominic then threw it in Lucy’s house and Yashy chased after it.
“How did you do that?” Lucy said in awe.
“Whiny, bossy, must have been a child. From many experiences with children, I have learned that distracting them with large lollipops usually gets their attention.”
Dominic then walked off and Lucy headed toward the tree. The others were there. They all greeted each other and sat by the tree, waiting for Dominic.
…30 MINUTES LATER…
“Ugh, I am sooooooo bored.” Paulo moaned.
“Do you think he forgot about us?” Tess asked, also bored.
“Maybe, but lets give him another five min…”
They all heard a roar and jumped to their feet. Then Dominic came out of nowhere with a lion tackling him. The lion was clawing and biting at Dominic while he fought the beast bare-handed. Daisy screamed while the rest stood there, helpless. Dominic then got one of his hands free, and punched the lion in the face. The lion flew ten feet backwards and landed on it’s feet. Before pouncing at Dominic again, it looked at the others and charged for them. They all screamed as Dominic held out his hand at the lion and a portal opened up, and the lion, in mid-flight, jumped in. Dominic motioned his hand back, and the portal closed.
“What the devil was that!” Mike yelled.
“It’s been years since I was last in my archives, and I forgot that I had a guard lion. You see, he was only trying to play.” Dominic brushed off his shoulders.
The others were in shock. Before anyone else could say anything, Dominic spoke up again,
“But, I did get what I was looking for.” Dominic held out a small leather pouch.
“What is it?” Sue examined the pouch.
“This, is where you get your Elements.”
Chapter 19
Hold Still, And Pray It Doesn’t Hurt
“You mean our powers are in that little bag?” Mike questioned Dominic.
“Yes. Just do as I say and you’ll be making mountains move and oceans fly.”
The others marveled at the thought of super powers to control the natural Elements.
“Do we like, get costumes or something?” Jasmine thought aloud.
“Well, lets first worry about getting your Elements and not accidentally killing yourself first. Okay.”
“Okay.” they all replied.
“Right. First, gather around the bag. As you will notice, it is empty. But when you put your hand in the bag, You will gain the key to unlocking your Element. To start, Paulo, put your hand in the bag.”
Paulo hesitated but then put his hand in the bag. He twitched like he felt something. He then pulled out a small red gem.
“Good, good. Now rest do the same. One at a time.”
They each did so and each got different colored gems. Each gem dazzled and sparkled in the sunlight.
“Okay, now that you have your keys, I want you to follow my directions SLOWLY.”
“Why?” Abbey looked at Dominic in dismay.
“This process can be VERY painful and even cause death if done wrong.”
“I didn’t know things like this could be so dangerous.” Daisy gasped.
“This isn’t even the beginning. Now to begin, look at your friends, now back to me, now back to your friends, now and back to me. As you can see, they aren’t me, but they could be powerful like me if they use the Swagger Gems from the Old Spice Galaxy. (No longer copying Old Spice) First you must take your gem and place it over your soul.”
Some group then started to put the gem over their hearts, and others over their forehead.
“No, no, no. Your soul is located in the pit of your throat, here.” Dominic pointed at his throat. “It is the source of pure energy and spirit in all living things. What we will do is empower that energy with the Elements.”
They all then took their gems and placed them over their throats.
“Now concentrate on your Element. The Element will speak to you, through your soul. You will feel your Element even before you know what it is. Now, do you all feel something.”
They all nodded, eyes closed, focused on the energy empowering them.
“Now for the painful part. Slowly push your gem into your throat. It will slowly disintegrate into pure energy that will be sucked into your soul. It will slightly hurt, but if you stop pushing it in, that’s when it becomes fatal. Okay, now.”
They all started to push the gems into their throats. The gems started to glow and sink into their necks. They all cringed as the pain escalated. But they all continued to push through the pain. Then the gems were gone. Into their bodies and into their souls.
“I can’t breathe.” Abbey gasped.
“It’s so hot.” Paulo sweated.
“It’s so cold.” Lucy shivered.
The others were having similar pains. Dominic then put his hand out and the pain stopped.
“Congrats. You have Elements. Now I will explain which you have.
Abbey has the Element of Air, Wind, and Storms.
Paulo has the Element of Fire, Inferno, and Maelstroms.
Lucy has the Element of Ice, Blizzards(Not the DQ kind), and Frost.
Mike has the Element of Water, Oceans, and mostly anything to do with H2O.
David has the Element of Earth, Stone, and Rock.
Tess has the Element of Steel, Metal, and Ore.
Sue has the Element of Nature, Life, and Plants.
Jasmine has the Element of Poison, Acid, and Toxins.
Daisy has the Element of Light, Sun, and Purity.
McCain has the Element of Aether, Mental-Thought, and Psychic.
And Amaya has the Element of Starlight, Energy, and Laser.
Kizua has the Element of Electricity, Static, and Lightning.
Once again congratulations, we may now begin training. But we can not do it here. We must move to a safe work zone.”
Then Dominic motioned his hand as everyone was teleported to a flat, rocky surface. The air was thin and the temperature was colder.
“Where are we.” Tess shivered.
“Welcome to the Tibetan Plateau!” Dominic yelled. “This is were we train! Right now you notice that you feel no different than before you absorbed the gems. That is because I am mentally holding your powers offline. I will continue to do this until you control your Elements without help, or destroying everything you touch.”
Dominic then slapped his hands together and started to rub them as he smiled,
“Now, let’s begin.”
