(Note: This story was made in private by me, InsaneAlphaBeta and IDEK. The prologue and the first two chapters were also made by us but the next chapters might be written individually or still by us.)
PROLOGUE
It's been 13 years since the events of The Book ends, In Erinfort, we see the inside of an unknown house, a TV is on, showing the News.
On the screen it shown the police chasing someone, though who it was couldn't exactly be seen yet.
"For the last few years the police have been on what appears to be a never ending chase, a man wearing a white hood and some kind of black armor, useing a bow and arrow and a alot of other gadgets, he calls himself The White Arrow. Over the last few years hes been doing the polices job almost, catching criminals quite alot faster then the police, robbers, killers you name it.
Of course it all seems great but the chief police officer Lance Corelo at the EFPD sees things a little bit differently." The news reporter said, as it cut to the man himself, a older man, bald with a little bit of hair, probably in his late 30s early 40s, wearing a police uniform.
"Sure he's doing us a favor, but the truth is it's our job, not his, he's a vigilante. And nobody is above the law, not even him." He said.
It then shown more footage of The White Arrow caught by various people. Showing him leaping rooftops, fighting thugs and other criminals.
"He may be helping people, but he isn't the judge jury and executioner, that's the courts job." Lance continued.
Jess, who looked as young as before, but wearing different clothes and her hair was wrapped in a ponytail, watching the news.
"...Huh, looks like he isn't so popular with the law. Then again, he saw that coming a mile, and din't need the Prophet's eye to guess that." Jess said.
"Mommy?" A young voice asked.
Jess turned to a little girl who looked 10 years old, who had short brown hair with two pigtails, black eyes and wearing a yellow dress with a red V on it. And beside her was a small tiger who was real.
"Yes, Athena?" Jess asked.
"When is daddy coming home?" Athena asked.
"He should be coming very soon. Don't worry, he will show up." Jess said.
"Okay." Athena nodded
a little boy, about 7 years old looked up from a game system he was holding. He had short ginger hair with a small prong jutting out, wearing a black t-shirt and brown shorts.
"That cop guy's just upset because there's someone better than him out there."He commented, grinning.
"The police seem determined to bring him in, but the question on eveyrones mind is, why should they? we will continue to bring you news as the situation develops." the news reporter said. "In other news." the news reporter started and continued, mentioning not so important news, as someone opened the front door and walked inside, closeing the door behind him.
It was Marick, wearing a blue coat with large black stripes, black pants blue shirt, and a black hat. He hasnt aged a day of course.
"Sorry i'mm late, Sora and Malcolm needed some help at NewDawnLabs." He said upon walking inside.
"DADDY!" Athena smiled as she ran to Marick and hugged him
Amell went back to his video game. "Hi dad."He said; quietly.
Marick accepted the hug ofcourse and smiled a little bit. "hi Athena." he said, and then looked at Amell. "hi Amell." Marick said,
Athena stopped hugging Marick as the little tiger walked up to her.
Jess walked up to Marick.
"Welcome back." Jess smiled.
"Glad to be back." Marick said.
Ark flew in and landed by the small tiger. He roared a little bit, basicly saying hi to the tiger.
The tiger whimpered a bit, scared by the roar, backing away from Ark.
Marick looked at the tiger, and Ark, and got an idea. He looked at Athena.
"hey Athena, wanna see something cool?" Marick asked.
"Sure." Athena nodded.
She looked at Amell.
"Amell, dad is gonna show us something cool, you want to see?" Athena asked.
Amell briefly looked up from the game console.
"Sure."He said, turning to look at Marrick.
Maricks left eye turned purple, the black upsidedown triangle appeared in the center, Prophets Eye was activated, and glowing, he crouched down at the tiger, he smiled.
"hey now, no need to be afraid, Ark has been my friend for many years, he wont hurt you." marick said, he was literately useing Prophets Eye to talk directly to the tiger, the tiger could understand every single word.
Maricks Prophets Eye has improved over the years.
Amell didn't look too impressed, partially because he wasn't really sure what he was looking at.
Tiger understood what Marick said as he slowly walked up to Ark, looking at him
"Leon doesn't look so scared of Ark now." Athena said.
Ark did a roar again, this one not nearly as scary, and very friendly sounding.
"I learned a few new tricks over the years, comes in handy." Marick noted. standing back up.
"Cool."Amell said disinterestedly, going back to his video game,
Leon just kept looking at Ark.
Jess looked at Marick.
"So, the kids already had dinner and I cooked yours. It's a bit cold." Jess said.
"Eh, thats an easy fix." Marick noted. "Which reminds me, we should talk about something, come with me." Marick said, heading off to the dinning room, (or where ever his dinner is.)
Jess nodded as she went in the kitchen.
Athena just sat next to Amell.
Amell's video game started playing a brief victory melody. "Yes, Finally!"He cheered. throwing his hands up in celebration, the game console dropping onto the floor unceremoniously.
"You won?" Athena asked while petting Leon
"Yeah! Take that Alberta!"Amell Laughed, before flopping off the coach and picking the game system back up.
When they entered the kitchen.
"Well, you can read my mind, so lets go ahead and discuss it.
Athena and Amell, if history is any indication, they will be part of the next generation of heroes." Marick noted.
"Do you think so? I mean, there is possibly a chance that they might choose their own paths that don't involve being heroes. And assuming that new threats won't show up." Jess said.
"Perhaps, but just because they choose their own path, doesnt mean they wont be heroes aswell.
History repeats itself often in this world." Marick said.
"I guess...so, if they're gonna be the next generation as you say...you're gonna prepare them?" Jess guessed
"pretty much.
But ofcourse, only if they want to, its their choice afteral." Marick said.
"Yeah. Plus, they're still pretty young. Amell is 3 years younger than Athena is right now." Jess said.
"So, do you think i should ask Athena first and Amell later? or ask them both now?" Marick asked.
"You should ask them both. Otherwise, Amell might think that you are favoring Athena over him." Jess said.
"Good point." Marick said, he left the kitchen, back to the room where the kids were.
"Athena, Amell, could you two come here for a moment?" Marick asked.
"Can't you come here?I need to find a save point."Amell asked, now upside down while playing his game for some reason.
"What is it, daddy?" Athena asked.
Marick walked forward and sat on the couch sitting inbetween them.
"Go forward, theres one through that door on the right." Marick said.
Ark just looked at him for a few moments.
"What, i like games too." Marick said.
"Oh,Thanks."Amell said, pressing a few buttons. "Oh you were right!"He grinned; getting to the save point, then saving the game.
"So, do you two remember the storys me and your mom told you about? the ones where defeated those bad people with our abilitys?" Marick asked.
"Yeah. That one with the big scary alien monster thing scared me a bit." Athena
"It was awesome! Apart from the fact they kept trying to use mom. She should've helped fight them off instead."Amell commented.
"indeed.
Well, as im sure you know, those storys were all real. And now that our time is done, eventualy the next generation will show up to take care of whatever threats try to harm this world.
And you two, just might be that next generation to defend this world in the future. But only if you choose to." Marick said.
"...I'm not sure, daddy...I mean, I don't even know what powers I have. Or if I have them." Athena said.
"Sissy."Amell laughed. "You don't need powers to Beat monsters!"
Athena turned to Amell.
"Yes I do! If you would fight one without powers, I bet you would get your butt kicked!" Athena said.
"Dont call your sister a sissy." Marick said.
"But you are right, sometimes you dont need powers, but i believe you both do, they just havent been unlocked yet.
The reason im bringing this up is this, if you want, i can train you, i can help you unlock your powers and make sure your ready for whatever comes your way." Marick said.
"But, Don't powers usually just happen anyway?"Amell asked.
"Well yes, but truth be told you may encounter times where you have to rely on your ability to fight without powers." Marick said.
"Just like Uncle Nicholas and Auntie Eliza right?" Athena asked.
"Exactly." marick said.
"well, they don't really have them so."Amell said
"So, this all begs the question.
Would you like me to train you? or not?
The choice is yours, there is no wrong answer." Marick said.
Athena thought about it for a bit.
"...Okay daddy, I'll do it." Athena confidently nodded.
Amell shrugged, blatantly being unsure.
"very well." marick said. he looked at Amell. "take your time, you can decide at any time." marick said, then he looked at Athena. "So, when would you like to start?" Marick asked.
"Tomorrow would be okay." Athena said.
"very well." Marick said as he got up.
Athena yawned, most likely tired.
"I think I'm going to bed." Athena said.
"I'm not."Amell said quickly.
Marick just smiled and rolled his eyes.
"Well, goodnight Athena." Marick said.
Athena just got up and walked upstairs.
Jess walked into the living room and looked at Amell.
"You should go to bed too, Amell. It's almost Midnight." Jess said.
"Even if I'm in bed. I'm not going to fall asleep."Amell said.
"That's not what you said last time when I was telling you a boring bedtime story." Jess smiled.
"I hadn't considered it back then."Amell said, leaning back into the chair.
"Okay, you can stay for atleast 30 minutes, but then you will have to go to bed. You have to go to school tomorrow with your sister." Jess said.
"Even though School sucks?"Amell asked.
"It's not that bad as you think. I learned lots of useful stuff while being in school. Things like History and other interesting things like Greek Mithology. And you can make lots of friends there." Jess said.
Amell rolled his eyes and went back to his game.
"School does suck, but it could be worse." Marick noted.
"Hmm?"Amell hmm'd.
"Just a random note.
No matter how bad something is, it could always be worse." Marick noted.
"Thanks,dad."Amell said, sarcastically.
Jess just rolled her eyes before she walked back into the kitchen with Marick.
"So, did you talk to them?" Jess asked.
"indeed i did.
Amell was unsure, and Athena would like me to train her starting tomorrow." Marick said.
"Okay. You can train with her right after she finishes school tomorrow." Jess said.
"Sounds good to me." Marick said.
"Yeah. And while you two will be training, I'll spend some time with Amell." Jess said.
Marick nodded.
"Well, I don't know about you, but I'll stay here a bit till Amell goes to bed. You can go to sleep if you want." Jess said.
Marick yawned.
"Well, dealing with police, defeating thugs and such can get tireing after awhile, so suppose i will.
Goodnight Jess." Marick said as he began to go towards the bedroom.
"Goodnight." Jess smiled before she walked out of the kitchen and just watched Amell.
"...Our kids will have a long road ahead of them...but I'm sure both of them will be ready for whatever the future will throw at them. I believe in them...And I'm sure Marick believes in them aswell." Jess said in her mind.

Chapter 1: Preparing For The Future
Marick is at home, waiting for Athena and Amell to be done with school, and come home.
He was currently on the phone.
"Yeah, its gonna be a fun surprise..
Trust me, you'll love it, you both will.
It aint a surprise if i tell you.
You'll just have to wait until later, also if you could finish that project that would be great, its allmost done right?....good.
Well, i will be there later, goodbye Malcolm, goodbye Sora." Marick said, hanging up the phone.
Jess was in her car, in front of the school, waiting for Athena and Amell to walk out.
Amell Ran out alongside a couple of other boys his age,
"Man, Ms.Stone is a butt sometimes."A Blonde Boy next to Amell commented.
"Well, hopefully we never see her again."A Black haired kid laughed as the group went off to their parents, Amell walked towards the Car.
"Hey mom."He smiled.
"Hi Amell." Jess said.
Athena walked out aswell and she got in the car.
"Hi mommy." Athena said.
"Hi Athena." Jess said.
Jess started the car and they drove off.
"So, how was school today?" Jess asked.
"It was okay." Athena said.
"Ms.Stone's a butt."Amell said. "'No Floating in Class' 'Get off the ceiling this instant'"
"I suppose so." Jess said.
They arrived back home and walked in the house.
"We're back." Jess told Marick.
"Alrighty.
So Athena, are you ready?" Marick asked.
"Let me dress out of my school uniform and I'll be ready." Athena said as she stormed off upstairs.
Jess looked at Amell.
"...So, since the both of them will be gone doing their training and it will be just us...you wouldn't mind spending some time with your mother, would you, Amell?"Jess asked.
"...Um..Well."Amell started, pulling at his hair absent-mindedly, "Eric kinda wanted me to go play football with him, so...."He started, looking at the wall opposite of his mother.
"...You could still do that and I'll be there to watch." Jess suggested.
"Mom!?"Amell whined. "Why?"
"Because, with you three gone, the only company I'll actually have are Ark and Leon but even so, it would pretty boring staying here being lonely. If you are worrying about being embarrassed about your mother watching you play football, ask them if their moms have cool powers like I do." Jess asked.
"...Oh."Amell said, letting what Jess said sink in. "...That works."
"She does have a point on that one." Marick said.
"Exactly. You won't have to worry about a thing." Jess said.
Athena walked downstairs, back in her yellow dress with the red V on it.
"Okay, I'm ready!" Athena said.
Amell looked at Marrick.
"So, bye dad."He said
"Bye Amell, bye jess, we will be back later.
Ark, Open the portal." Marick said and Ark did so. Marick walked through the portal.
Athena walked through the portal next.
Jess looked at Amell.
"Well, let's have some fun then." Jess smiled.
"...Ok."Amell said, going upstairs to get changed,
he got back down wearing his black t-shirt and some brown shorts within minutes. "So, you can do awesome things, right?"He asked. "I mean, mind-reading. I don't think some of them are going to get it."
The portal closed behind them.
They were in a hallway heading towards a door, which Marick opened.
Inside, was a large indoor high tech base, a center slightly off the ground platform with multiple high end computer setups, a few training areas, a few archey training spaces, a table with maricks White Bow and another with tons of different Arrows. aswell as a science and research area, likely where Malcolm and Sora work on new types of items and gadgets for Marick to use.
And ofcourse a large open display with Maricks outfits, his Academy outfit, a few blank ones with no outfit, And his White Arrow outfit.
Malcolm and Sora were on the platform looking at one of the computers.
"And telekinesis, teleportation and also ability to have visions about the future. Basically, psychic powers." Jess told Amell.
Athena just looked around, looking amazed.
"Wow..." Athena said.
"...Prepare your best Telekinetics, Momma. We're gonna impress some peoples!"Amell laughed, running outside
Malcolm and Sora both turned their heads and seen Athena and Marick. they both smiled
"hey! i didnt know it was bring your child to work day!" Malcolm said as he walked down the stairs to Athena, as did Sora.
"Athena, this is Malcolm and Sora, two very good friends of mine." Marick said.
"...Hi." Athena awkwardly said, behind Marick
"Alright, im gonna change clothes real quick, be back in a moment." Marick said, heading into a room by the display.
"Its nice to meet you Athena." Sora said.
"Yeah it is...but i have one question, do you know what your father does for a living?" Malcolm asked.
"...Mommy only tells me that he has a job that always lasts at night but other than that, nothing else. So...I don't know." Athena said.
"Well, have you heard about The White Arrow?" Sora asked.
"I heard him about him on TV. He is like those superheroes from Amell's comics." Athena said.
"Well.." Malcolm started as Marick came back out. Wearing the full White Arrow outfit, and he walked to Athena Malcolm and Sora.
"Yeah hes your dad." Malcolm summed up. Marick just smiled.
Athena looked surprised when she saw her dad dressed as White Arrow.
"Dad...you're...White Arrow!?' Athena asked
"Indeed i am." Marick confirmed.
"Huh...that's...cool!" Athena said.
Marick smiled.
"So, lets begin.
Now then, before you can learn how to use a weapon, you need to know how to use your hands." Marick said as he brought her to a dummy, one with its own hands and arms.
"Now then, watch." marick said, the dummy tried hitting him multiple times, and each time it missed,
"Dont worry, its made of a soft material, it wont hurt if it hits you." marick said as he dodged the attacks. after 30 seconds total it stopped.
"Now its your turn, just try to predict its movements, and dodge, dont worry, it will come to you naturaly." marick said, taking a few steps away from the dummy.
Athena just walked up to the dummy and looked at it carefully.
The dummy then began to try hitting Athena.
She dodged but out of reflex really.
She dodges a four times till she got hit on the fifth try and landed on the floor.
"Owie." Athena said, putting her hand on her cheek.
Marick went to her and put his hand on her shoulder.
"It didnt hurt you too bad did it?" marick asked.
Athena got up.
"No." Athena said.
"Alright." marick said, backing away and watching.
Once she was ready, it tried to hit her again.
Athena began dodging. This time, she managed to dodge atleast 12 times before she got hit again and fell.
"Dang it!" Athena said.
"Hey, that was a significant improvement!" Sora said.
"yeah it was, your getting better each time." Marick said.
Athena got up.
"...I guess so." Athena said, but sounding a bit more determined this time.
She walked up to the dummy and looked at it, she seemed to be concentrating.
Athena closed her eyes and when she reopened them, they were glowing purple much to her surprise.
It wasn't because her eyes were glowing, but because she was suddenly seeing the dummy's movements in a few seconds.
"...Wow..." Athena said.
Marick looked curious, but continued watching.
When she was ready, it began to try and hit her again.
Athena began dodging and this time, she was dodging every hit the dummy threw at her, it's like she knew how it will strike.
After 30 seconds, the dummy stopped and din't land a single hit on Athena.
Athena turned to Marick, smiling.
"I did it, daddy!" Athena smiled.
"Thats right, you did." marick said, he smiled.
"And not only that, but something tells me that something has unlocked inside of you aswell." Marick noted.
"...I try to concentrate and predict it's movements...and then suddenly, I could of seen it's attacks a few seconds later just like that...it was weird." Athena said.
"Huh...very interesting." Marick said.
"Now that you know how to dodge, you must learn how and when to strike." marick said walking up to the dummy.
it tried attacking him and he dodged the attacks, but after a few attacks, when the time was right he would strike the dummy inbetween its attempts at attacking, this against lasted for about 30 seconds.
"Just dodge and strike when the time is right." Marick said, backing away again.
When Athena was ready, it began trying to hit her.
Athena's eyes glew purple again, predicting it's movements and doged while trying to punch and kick it several times, though her punches weren't that strong.
Amell was standing in front of a grassy plan, a group of about 9 kids were kicking the ball around or talking to each other,
"....Well, Just..."Amell started, scratching his cheek. "Hey Guys!"He smiled, running towards them.
"Eyyyy Meal!"a Blond Kid in a Jersey waved. "...Who's she? Your Mommy?"
"...Yes." Jess answered
"...Why's she here?"The Blond one asked.
"You don't seem like the type to be too scared to walk around on your own."A Ginger kid with green eyes commented.
"Oh shut it Leon."Amell grumbled. "She just wanted to spend some time with me."
"So why are you here?"A Black Haired Girl wearing a sweatervest asked. "Jeez, He can fly but he can't Walk on his own?"
"Rude."Some kid at the back of the group commented.A Green haired boy took the opportunity to snatch the ball from under his foot.
Jess looked at the ball and used her telekinesis to have it roll back to the kid.
"What!?"The green haired kid exclaimed.
The one at the back continued to play with the ball happily, not seeming to notice what happened.
"What is it, Joseph?"The Black haired girl asked.
"The Ball just.. moved on it's own."The green haired guy stuttered.
"Yeah, T'was my Mom. I had to get my super-awesome amazing god powers from somewhere, and half of them came from this lady!"Amell smiled, gesturing towards her.
"...Uh huh.."The blond haired guy said. "Are you sure someone didn't just kick the ball?"
"Eric."Amell said.
"What?"Eric asked.
"Ok."Amell said. "Razzle n' Dazzle them, Mama."
Some of the kids burst into laughter. "Mama!?"
Jess looked at Amell.
"...I think I'm the embarrassed one here instead of Amell." Jess said in her mind
Jess then lifted a rotten apple which was nearby the kids by using her telekinesis a few seconds before dropping it on the ground.
"...Huh,That's cool, I guess."The Black Haired Girl said.
"C'mon, You can do more than that. Lift me! Lift Me!"Eric Cheered, jumping up and down.
Jess sighed a bit before lifting Eric a bit till he was next to a top of a tree and slowly puts him back on the ground on his feet without dropping him
"Whoo!"Eric Laughed.
"...Hmm."The Black haired girl commented "Sweet."
There was a mass of unco-ordinazed cheers or general statements of amazement from the kids.
"Hehe."Amell laughed.
Jess smiled a bit as she puts her hand on Amell's head.
"You should go and play with your friends. I'll sit on the bench and watch." Jess said.
"Ok."Amell laughed, running towards them.
"How did your mother even do that?"A Green haired girl who looked near identical to Joseph- the kid who kicked the ball away earlier asked.
"We're Superheroes."Amell answered. "So, who's on what team?"
A Bit later, The Football game had gone on for about 20 minutes; no one was really keeping score, but The Kid with Glasses was scoring the most goals out of them all.
Jess just kept watching
And now back to Marick and Athena
Athena finished her dummy training, but her fists were a bit sore from all the hitting.
"Okay daddy, I'm done." Athena said.
"Alright, good job Athena, your doing great." Marick said, smileing.
"Now, you have two options for your next bit of training.
You can either A, learn how to use a weapon, or B, learn how to be stealthy, both important traits, its your choice what to learn first." Marick said.
Athena thought about it really hard.
"...I think I would want to learn how to use a weapon. Auntie Eliza told me that you always need to have a weapon with you to defend yourself against bad people." Athena said.
"very well." marick said, he brought her over to a table with several different weapons.
"Eveyrone has their own style, the question is, what calls to you the most? choose the weapon you want to learn how to use." marick said.
The table had An Axe, A Hammer, A Sword, A Mace, A Bow, And a Pistol.
"Go ahead, take your time and make your choice." Marick said.
Athena just looked at most of them. She simply picked the pistol.
"I choose this one." Athena said.
"Alright, Malcolm bring up the chambers." Marick said and Malcolm did so, the grounf extended and the chambers rose up, they were the ones from the academy.
"I used these a long time ago, they can simulate anything." Marick said as two chambers lids opened up. "Sora, run the weapon testing range." Marick said and she did so, Marick got in his chamber. "Go ahead, get in yours, it doesnt bite." Marick said.
"...Okaaay." Athena said a bit slowly.
She slowly walked into her chamber.
Both the lids closed, moments later it started up, Marick and Athena were in front of a table with two pistols on it, in front of them was a targeting range, just outside a city, it was day.
"And here we are, here things feel the same, though nothing can actually hurt you, even the gun wont sound loud." Marick confirmed.
"Oh, okay." Athena said, picking up her pistol.
the targets had typicle bullseyes on their chest and head.
"Just aim and try and it the targets as much as you can." Marick said, the targets them began moving back and forth accurately to a persons movements.
Athena managed to shoot two targets but as for the others, she kept missing.
Marick kept watching as the pistol was not gonna run out of ammo.
"Just keep trying, you got this." Marick said.
Athena just concentrated and managed to shoot atleast three more targets.
Then, she looked at one target and concentrated and Athena shot a bullet out of the pistol. The bullet looked like it was gonna miss but Athena looked at the bullet, concentrating on it and suddenly, it moved slightly towards the target and the bullet hits it right in the bullseye.
"Hmmm, very interesting." Marick noted.
Athena looked surprised but she continued shooting and she ends up hitting more targets.
"Hmmm.
I think that will do for now." Marick said and the training dummys stopped.
"Athena, there are 2 things i want you to try to do." Marick said.
"What is it, daddy?" Athena asked.
Marick crouched down to her, and looked at her.
"I want you to try reading my mind." Marick said.
Athena looked surprised.
"And the second thing?" Athena asked.
"We will get to that in just a moment Athena, besides, trying both of these at once would be too difficult.
For now, just focus on trying to read my mind." Marick said.
in maricks mind, this thought ran through his mind.
"If you can read my mind, then tell me what you think about Malcolm and Sora." he said in his mind.
Athena closed her eyes and concentrated before she opened her eyes and looked at Marick.
"...Malcolm kinda weirds me out and Sora is nice." Athena said.
Marick looked a little surprised.
"Wow, great job." marick said smileing.
Malcolms jaw dropped and Sora just smiled.
Athena just smiled.
"I just closed my eyes and I could hear your voice through my mind." Athena said.
"I noticed, your full of surprises. Now i want to to try one more thing.
try and do this." Marick said, he held his hand out, and basicly created a ball of light in his hands.
"Hold your hand out, focus, and try to create light in your hand." Marick said.
Athena nodded.
She held her hand out and focused very hard...and....nothing happened.
"It's...it's not working daddy." Athena said.
"Well, thats fine, not everything can work." marick said making the light go away.
"Alright, i would rather not push your abilitys too far, so lets go ahead and do one last bit of training, and then we go home and tell Jess the good news, how does that sound?" marick asked.
"Kay!" Athena smiled
""Malcolm, start up the stealth training simulator." Marick said and he did so.
They were in a large room, generic guards walking around with guns, cameras with spotlights, and a good bit of cover baiscly everywhere, with a glowing case at the back.
"Alright, the goal is to sneak past the guards and spotlights, grab the breifcase, and get back to marick, no time limit, stealth is key.
Start when your ready." Malcolm said.
Athena nodded nervously before looking around the area she was in, looking at te guards and the spotlights, looking a bit as she focused her eyes on the briefcase.
She immediately ran from her hiding place and hid behind a box.
there was a guard near her, and a spotlight inbetween her and a crate, that shines every now and then.
Athena was sweating while looking at the guard and immediately looked at the spotlight.
Once it flashed off, she immediately ran to the crate and hid without making noise.
as a result, the guard did nothing.
next, she had two paths, one involving a guard with no spotlight.
The other involveing a spotlight but no guard, the guard had a line of sight on the spotlight, she will have to take him out in order to get further, the breifcase itself was very close.
Athena looked at the path with the guard and no spotlight and tried to figure out a way to take him out since the only thing she could do is either kick him in the crotch or throw something at him but that would get her caught.
She looked around for any objects nearby and spotted a plank.
She concentrated and lifted the plank very slowly with her telekinesis, it flew slowly towards the guard...and he got smacked in the head with the plank but it din't make noise.
The guard stumbled a bit, wondering what on earth just happened to him, he looked up where the plank was wondering why it fell.
This gave AThena an opening. the breifcase could be seen ahead. all she had to do was get the breifcase, and get back.
Athena then ran as fast the wind, grabbed the suitcase and hightailed it out of there and went back to Marick.
"I got it, daddy!" Athena said, looking tired.
"Dang, that was fast, you got superspeed too?" Marick smiled.
And with that the simulation ended and the chamber lids opened. Marick got out of his.
Athena walked out of her chamber aswell, taking a deep breath.
"I thought I was gonna get caught there for a moment." Athena said.
"Allmost, but you handled it really well." Sora said.
"...do i really weird you out?" malcolm asked allmost sounding concerned.
Marick smiled, rolled his eyes and used prophets eye to see if Jess and Amell were home.
Jess was in a store, near the park, buying two ice creams, one for her and Amell, before she walked out and sat back on the bench, watching Amell and his friends.
"Well, Amell is playing with his friends and Jess is there, so i guess we will stay here until they are done." Marick said.
"Sweet! we can play some Uno!" Malcolm suggested, Marick and Sora facepalmed.
Amell was currently chasing the green haired girl with the ball, Joseph kicked the ball out from under his sister, but Amell managed to get it and fired; scoring.
Athena just raised an eyebrow at Malcolm, looking amused.
Jess just clapped at that.
And now Marick Athena Malcolm and Sora play Uno, becuase as we all know, no matter how far in the future we go, everyone still loves Uno.
And now we stick with Jess and Amell until they get home.
Eventually the football hype between them all went down and four of them started to play a card game,
Amell and Eric- as well as the green haired siblings, walked up to Jess,
"So, were you born magical?"The green haired girl asked.
"Um...not exactly. These powers were given to me actually." Jess said
"See, I told you. Ab!"Joseph laughed.
"So...How'd you get them yet?"The Green haired girl asked.
"...It's gonna sound a bit ridiculous but...I gotta them from a pretty old woman who was a gipsy...and the powers were originally her's." Jess said.
"So, I was wonderin'...Where Can I find a Gypsy!?"The green haired girl asked, suddenly grinning.
"...I'm not sure exactly. I don't think all gypsies have powers and I met that one as a kid like many years ago." Jess said.
"Where do Gypsies normally hang out then? And what did you do to get her to give you those powers!?"She asked, sounding pretty excited.
"I thought gypsies cursed people."Eric commented.
"...In a way, my power was cursed. While I used it to protect my sister Eliza mostly, it managed to attract some really bad and dangerous people." Jess said.
"Hmm."The green haired girl said. "Oh well, let's go."
Everyone who wasn't Amell then ran off to continue playing.
Amell then followed.
Jess just continued watching while sighing, waiting for them to be over with playing soon.
eventually, the sky started to get a bit dark.
"Hey,Abbie,Joseph!"Some old man that wasn't there before called out. "Shouldn't we be getting home!"
The two green haired kids looked to each other before walking over to the man,
Eventually everyone started to go home, Including Amell and Jess.
Amell knocked on the door to their house once they got there.
Jess looked out the window.
"...Seems like Marick and Athena aren't back home yet." Jess said.
She used her keys and opened the door, entering inside. Amell ran in.
"Athoona! Dad! We're here!"He called out.
With Marick Athena Malcolm and Sora.
"Victory!" Sora said.
Moments later a portal opened up behind them.
"Well Athena, time for us to go, see you later Malcolm and Sora." Marick said as he walked towards the portal, waiting for Athena.
Athena waved at Malcolm and Sora before following Marick
Malcolm and Sora waved back.
Marick walked through the portal.
Jess looked at Marick and Athena.
"Oh, you're back. So, how was training?" Jess asked.
Marick smiled.
"Well, see for yourself.
Athena, show Jess what you learned." He said, smileing.
Athena nodded as she looked at Leon.
Leon began floating and he landed on the couch.
Jess looked surprised.
"...Telekinesis?" Jess asked.
"Theres more." Marick said.
Athena attempted to read Amell's mind
"big deal" Amell thought,
"...Your just jealous." Athena told Amell.
"E-Eughh?"Amell spluttered, taking a step back
"...Well, seems like she has inherited my powers then." Jess said.
"Mostly, but there is one more thing." Marick said.
"What is it?" Jess asked.
"Since im not sure how she would show it i will just mention it.
She has a Prophet like ability, she can see the future." Marick said.
"...Well, I can read the future too so, I guess it's clear that she has most of my powers...though, does she also have yours?" Jess asked.
"Not that i can see yet, only thing close is her prophet like ability, i say prophet like, becuase her eyes were glowing purple.
Other then that none that i can note, she doesnt have light powers i know for sure." Marick said.
"Huh, alright then." Jess said.
Jess looked at Amell.
"...Well, I managed to impress most of Amell's friends with my abilities so...I guess today was okay." Jess said.
"Eric has a crush on her."Amell grinned.
Jess just awkwardly raised an eyebrow.
"...Yeah. So, anyways, anyone hungry?" Jess asked.
"I am!" Athena declared.
"Me!"Amell declared,louder
"Well..i" marick started before his phone rang.
Marick answered it and it was Malcolm.
"Marick...you need to come see this!" Malcolm said sound concerned.
"I'm on my way." Marick said. then he looked at Ark and he opened a portal.
"I will eat later, Malcolm needs me, it sounds important." Marick said, walking through the portal and it closed behind him.
"...C'mon, Mom's cooking isn't that bad!"Amell called out, even though the portal closed
Jess looked confused.
"...I hope it's nothing serious." Jess said.
There was a brief period of silence.
Amell looked at Athena. "So, you're psychic like mom is now?"He asked. looking pretty annoyed to hear that.
"...I guess so...but if I do then...you'll probably have dad's powers." Athena said.
"But you also have his future sight."Amell said.
"But it could be mom's vision future thing that she does. Her eyes glow purple sometimes too." Athena said.
Marick appeared in the base.
"So, whats going on?" he asked as he walked to Malcolm and Sora, who were watching a TV.
In the house with Jess Amell and Athena, Ark turned the TV on. it shown the news reporter, with a bunch of police behind her, and a apartment with lights pointed at a window.
"Police are just outside this apartment where a group of men has the chief police officers daughter as a hostage." the new reporter said.
"WHAT DO YOU POEPLE WANT FROM ME?" Lance yelled out.
Inside the room, a group of thugs wearing masks, they had guns, were walking around.
"Our boss gave us direct orders, make sure you give us the money, or shes done for." one of the thugs yelled back.
"We dont have that kind of money!" Lance yelled out.
"Too bad for you then, you got 30 minutes." one of the thugs said.
Lance looked nervous and fustraited all at once.
...
"Where is that apartment." Marick said.
"Its in the downtown area." Sora said.
marick walked back to the hallway and into another room, there was a white sports like motorcycle.
He hopped on and drove out of the base, through a tunnle, under the city streets, then went through anothe rtunnle which led just outside the city, he got out, got back on the road and started driveing to the apartment.
"...Well, shit." Jess said.
"But we haven't eaten yet."Amell said.
Marick kept driveing until he saw the police, he purposefully drove right to them and stopped in front of Lance. a policemen was about to do something but lance put his arm inf ront of him...stopping him.
The White Arrow got off his motorcycle and looked right at Lance, and lance looked right back. The White Arrow walked past him and started going towards the apartment, shooting a zipline Arrow near the wind. White Arrow went up the zipline and got to the side of the window.
"The Police are actually letting the White Arrow help out." the news reported noted.
"Alright, theres atleast 4 men there, all have guns, shes at the back of the room, you'll need to be quick." Malcolm said.
White Arrow nodded and moved to the window and busted through, quickly shooting 2 of the men with tanq arrows and began fighting the other two with his bow, dodgeing their attacks and hitting them just like he shown Athena.
Lance looked notably nervous, kinda surprised he even let White Arrow help.
Athena was watching what was going on.
"...Go dad." Athena thought in her mind.
Marick continues fighting the two men, he knocks one out with his bow and tranqa the other. The last two men who he had prevously tranqed were still standing, he kicks one in the face, which knocks him out, then he kics the other in the stomach and hits him with his bow, knocking him out.
He then goes to Lances daughter and unties her, she looks around 12 years old.
"Dont worry, your safe now." White Arrow said, used his voice masking gadget, he brings her to the window and grabs onto the nearby zipline. "Hold on." He said.
He then goes down the zipline with her and safely places her down.
Lance looked happy and hugged his daughter. "Im so glad your okay!" he said.
"He saved me!" his daughter said after the hug, pointing to the white Arrow.
The White Arrow just looked at Lance, as Lance walked up to The White Arrow.
"I suppose i owe you." Lance said.
"...You dont owe me anything, just let me do what i do." White Arrow said, walking past Lance, getting on his motorcycle and driveing away/
One of the cops walked up to Lance.
"Should we go after him?" he asked.
Lance just watrched White Arrow leave.
"No." Lance said simply
White Arrow continued to drive away, and the news went to...well, other news.
...
"Nice work man! that went great!" Malcolm said.
"Thanks, now we just need to figure out who their boss is." Marick noted.
"Getting on that right now." Sora said.
"...Well, atleast things din't end badly." Jess said as she walked into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Athena just looked relieved.
Amell cheered.
Jess was done making dinner and everyone was sitting at the table, all except Marick.
Leon was eating the food Jess put on his plate.
Amell looked at Leon with a expression of curiosity
Jess was eating her food.
"...So." Athena started.
"So?"Amell asked, starting to eat
"...Let's talk about something." Athena shrugged.
"...Do you like Ms.Stone? She's a butt."Amell said- after searching his brain for something to say for a good couple minutes.
"She's not my teacher but I saw Ms.Olga talking to her once. She always seems stressed out." Athena said.
"She stresses me out."Amell commented- his mouth full of food.
"Amell, don't talk with your mouth full." Jess said.
Amell stopped doing so, pausing to chew his food.
"...When is Daddy coming home?" Athena asked.
"He should be arriving soon." Jess said.
"I guess he's just busy."Amell commented
A few minutes Later Marick finally arrived in the dinning room, still wearing his Arrow outfit though now with the hood pulled back and the eyemask off, he sat down with them at his seat.
"Hey there." Marick said.
Jess looked at Marick, with eyebrows raised.
"...You're gonna eat with us dressed like that?" Jess asked.
"...Its just clothes." Marick concluded. "besides, im hungry." He noted, as he began to eat dinner
"Fair enough." Jess said.
And Marick kept eating, as he wasnt sure what to talk about.
"...So, how did it go? You know, what happened on TV?" Jess asked.
"Well, it went as well as it could've gone. Im glad Lance put his personal opinions about me behind him and focused on what mattered most." Marick said.
"About Time."Amell interjected.
"Well then, I guess that means you won't have any trouble with the police no more I assume?" Jess asked.
"Who knows, maybe." Marick said.
"Done!"Amell cheered, indeed; having finished his plate
They eventually finished dinner and a hour later, all of them were in their beds.
Athena was in her room, in her bed while holding a teddy bear and Leon was sleeping on the bed aswell.
"...Now I have mommy's powers. And I don't seem daddy's so...I wonder if I'll end up being as strong as daddy or grandpa...I guess I'll find out when I'll be much older...but could I do with these powers besides impressing my friends?...Maybe I could use them to protect Amell whenever he gets in trouble or someone attacks him...I definitely won't let anything harm my little brother...just like how mommy never let anything harm auntie Eliza." Athena said in her mind.
Athena closed her eyes and eventually went to sleep.

CHAPTER 2- LEGACYWe see Marick, inside his and Jess's house. He was wearing basicly his same outfit but a slightly different color scheme. mostly grey with with some red sripes such, his hair was just a little bit shorter, still shoulder length though. He was looking at a few files. Jess was cleaning the dishes, still looking the same as she did 6 years ago. "ATHENA, AMELL, BREAKFAST!" Jess yelled. In her room, Athena was now 16 years old, wearing a high-school uniform, her hair was shoulder length and was currently typing into a computer, talking with someone called Trixie. Leon was also in the room and was now the average size of a tiger. 'I'll see ya at school, Trixie. ' Athena then got her backpack and walked out of her room and went to eat breakfast. "Morning mom, dad." Athena said as she sat down Amell was still sleeping, wearing a black t-shirt and some underwear. his Bedroom was surprisingly neat, the shelfs filled with video games and the walls rather barren. In response to Jess's call, he just rolled over in the bed and fell to the ground. Marick looked at Athena and smiled. "Good morning Athena." Marick said, then went back to the files Athena nodded while eating. "...So, did you finish your essay?" Jess asked. "Yup. Took me about 30 minutes to finish it really. And I did not look up the internet." Athena said. "Okay then." Jess said. "Its nice that you didnt have to use the internet. But, useing the internet for an essay.... totally a legitamite stratigy." Marick noted, as he kept reading his files. "Well, most of my classmates use the internet to write their essays so...not most of them even bother with originality despite our teacher's warnings." Athena said. "...So, where is Amell?" Jess asked. "Probably still sleeping in his room." Athena guessed. "I imagine he will be here down here soon." Marick guessed. Amell was still sleeping; now just lying on the floor, on top of the blanket that fell with him. Athena eventually finished her breakfast. "Well, I have to go now. Bye mom and dad." Athena said. She grabbed her backpack and left. "Oh, how they grow up so fast." Jess said. "Yup." Marick said. Jess then turned her attention upstairs. "AMELL! YOUR BREAKFAST IS GETTING COLD AND YOU'RE GONNA BE LATE FOR SCHOOL...AGAIN!" Jess said. A Couple of Seconds later, Amell came tumbling down the stairs. He somehow landed on his feet, still wearing his pajamas, His Hair didn't look that different, apart from the back being longer. "Good morning." Jess said. "...Where are my clothes?"He asked- clearly still asleep "...In your room. Where they are supposed to be." Jess said. Amell went back upstairs, and then eventually came down-wearing clothes. "...What time is it?"He asked,next. "7:55 AM. You have 5 minutes till your teacher will arrive in your classroom." Jess said "Oh."Amell said, before walking out- without his school bag. Marick just smiled and rolled his eyes. Jess noticed that before she went to find his school bag and then opened the door. "AND YOU COMPLETELY FORGOT YOUR SCHOOL BAG, TOO!" Jess yelled out at Amell, holding his bag. Amell turned to her, and then ran up to her; grabbing his school bag and beginning a sprint towards School. Jess then closed the door "Oh, that boy." Jess sighed. Marick just smiled and kept reading his files. Jess looked at the files. "So, what's those files about?" Jess asked. "Mostly about the main three gangs in Erinfort, and their locations, aswell as their bases design, defenses and such." Marick said. "Huh. That's a bit bothersome." Jess said. "perhaps, but when you see how sloppy their bases are." Marick said showing her a file, their bases were poorly made and not fortified well. "Hidden well perhaps, but they seem to think stealth is all they need." Marick said. "...Wow, carbon boxes. Very clever of them." Jess said. "Yup. Getting to their bases and getting to their leaders wont be an issue, but they are connected, if one base is attacked, im sure they will notify their other 2 friends. It wont be easy but i should be fine." Marick said. "Well, okay then. Just be careful." Jess said. "I will. Lance should be able to help. Still getting used to him being part of the team, though i must admit, having the chief police officer as an ally is quite helpful." Marick said. "Well, yeah. Better working together than working against each other." Jess said. "Yeah. I will be heading out later tonight, so i will probably be here until tonight, unless Malcolm and or Sora calls." marick noted. "Okay." Jess nodded. And we cut back to Athena. It was break at Athena's high school and she was hanging with two friends of hers. One was a girl with dark skin, short black hair with pig tails, wearing school uniform and the other was a guy with short black hair and looked a bit chubby. "Ugh, the only thing Mr.Thomson knows is to give us shit lots of homework. That dude needs to chill sometimes." The girl said. "I don't know, they seem simple enough. Maybe if you would study much more, you wouldn't complain about it." The guy said. "Easy for you to say Donald since you're the Teacher's pet." The girl said. "Hey, I don't suck up to him all the time." Donald protested. "Yes you do." The girl said. "No, I don't." Donald said. "Guys, guys, could we just stop talking about teachers and talk something else?" Athena asked. "Something else?...I don't know." Donald shrugged. "Well, my mom decided some random guy who I don't like at all so." The girl said. "Is he a jerk?" Athena asked. "Nah, he is just boring as shit. What does mom even see in him is beyond me. This is why I prefer hanging out with you and Donald than being back at home." The girl said. "Well, we are friends after all, right Trixie?" Athena said. "Yeah." Trixie nodded. "Yup. Friends till the end." Donald smiled. meanwhile, Amell's class were still in lesson. He was sitting in a seat between the Green haired girl,Abbie- who now had a camera on her table and her hair pulled into a plat, and some new guy with a blonde mullet. "Psst."The Mullet guy whispered, Amell turned to look at him. "Amell, Bud, Y'know that girl next to ya."He smiled. "...Yes,I do."Amell whispered back. "Well, would you mind putting in a good word for me?"He asked. "Marley...You want to date Abbie?"Amell asked. "What?She's cute."Marley laughed. "You're 12."Amell said. "So?You're 13."Marley struck back. "She's 13 too." "Can you two please stop talking?"The Lady at the board, their maths teacher, said. Interrupting them. "..I mean, we can."Amell shrugged. "Then do so."The Lady frowned, writing 'Amell' on the board and putting a cross next to Marley's Name. Eventually, they were back in class and the teacher was studying them math Athena just looked bored while the teacher was talking till she received a beep from her phone. She checked her message and it was from Trixie's 'Hey, so, want to hang out some more after class?' 'Sorry, but I'll have to go back home. With new homework and all that' 'Oh, don't be like that, girl! Let's have some fun!' 'Sorry, but maybe some other time, K?' 'Fine. I guess I'll have to torture myself with Donald till you decide to stop being a party popper.' 'Come on, don't be-' "Ahem, excuse me if I'm interrupting your conversation with whoever you are texting to, Miss Vixerello, but can you repeat what I just said?" The math teacher asked. Athena immediately looked up. "...Um..." Athena said. She then read the teacher's mind what he wanted her to repeat before telling him what he said(some math-related shit that I don't know and care about) "Oh, well, good things you text and keep your ears open at the same time. But please, pay attention to class." The teacher said. Athena nodded. "Phew, that was a close one." Athena said in her mind. Athena then looked back at Trixie, shaking her head at her but she just shrugged. Eventually, Athena was finished with school for the day as everyone walked out of high school and Athena walked out with Donald and Trixie. "I'll chat with you guys tonight, okay?" Trixie asked. "Yeah, sure." Athena said. Donald just nodded. "Well, see you guys tomorrow." Athena said. Donald waved off at Athena as she walked off, going back to her house. Amell was on his way home, while trying to Eric and some other kid about a tv show they saw. On his way, he turned his head to see some guy in a mask walking across the street on the other side of the road, he just tried to ignore it, still going home. Athena eventually reached home. "Guys, I'm back." Athena said. The first one to greet her was Leon, who ran towards her and jumped on her, causing to fall on the floor. Leon was licking her face in joy. "Leon, Leon, knock it off, boy, knock it off!" Athena said. Leon stopped and backed away as Athena got up. "So, hi." Athena said. Amell was at the gate to their house. He walked in and just looked at Athena and Leon. "Hey."He said, sounding bored. "Welcome back." Marick said, the files were put up at this point, he was sitting down at the moment. Jess was sitting next to Marick. "How was today?" Jess asked. "Besides almost getting in trouble with the math trouble, nothing much." Athena said. "Wow, you too?"Amell laughed. "Trixie texted me on the phone and he caught me." Athena said. "Marley wanted me to hook him up with Abs. for some reason."Amell shrugged. "Well, doesnt sound like it was too bad. As for me, im gonna be quite busy tonight, thanks to Malcolm and Sora, they found the locations of the 3 main gangs in Erinfort, i know their bases, its defenses and everything. And i'll have to go these bases, and get their leaders. Fun stuff." marick said. "Oh. Well, that sucks." Athena said. "That sucks? Sound's Awesome to me! Kick their asses!"Amell grinned. "Now, im not sure how Jess feels yet, but, one of you could come with me if you want, it would be nice to have some help." Marick said. "Well, I'm not sure what I'd be able to do but..If you insist."Amell grinned. "...Well, then I'm going too. If you guys will get in trouble and get seriously hurt, then you will need some help. Besides, I have prepared a cool costume for awhile now." Athena said. "Oh? that is good, you will need one. And you will need one too, you do have some wind powers, so there are ways you can help." Marick said looking at Amell. Amell just folded his arms. "Why would I need one? I'm already cool enough without wearing my underpants over my trousers."He smirked. "Allow me to explain. You go without a disguise, criminals see you, we dont kill them we knock them out, they wake up in jail, they say who you are, they mention who you were with, everyone easily figures out who i am, insert many problems here as a result. So, have i made my point?" Marick asked Amell looked at him. "So...If they figure out who dealt with the criminals for them? The person that did their job for them gets in trouble?"Amell asked, looking like he did not understand. "If so that's pretty stupid." "Not entirely...let me put it a different way. The whole reason i became the white arrow is to keep the people i care about safe. villians, criminals and such cant track me down if im disguised as White Arrow, which means you Jess and Athena dont have to worry about being attack in the middle of the day because every criminal on the face of this earth knows Marick Vixerello is The White Arrow. By keeping my identity safe, i keep you and everyone else i care about safe aswell. And if word got out that im the White Arrow, suddenly we all have giant bullseyes on our backs." Marick better explained. "Oh, I guess i'll just, not come along then."Amell said. "Actually you can still come along, there is an entire outfit making section of my base. You can come too, just like the good old days." Marick said looking at Jess. Jess raised an eyebrow. "...So, you want us to dress as superheroes and fight of criminals together?" Jess asked. "...Why do I feel like I have seen that thing happen before in a cartoon somewhere." Athena asked "Alright, think of it this way, which would you rather do. Put on a cool disguise and fight alongside your husband and children against the 3 main gangs in Erinfort which will result in a massive crime rate drop for a few years? or sit here with not much to do." Marick asked. "...Um...well...if the entire family goes sure...but I need to know if Amell goes along with this idea." Jess said. "... ...No."Amell said. "Dancing around in Something like what you where...Not my thing."Amell said. "...Yeah, sorry." Jess shrugged. Athena looked at Marick. "Well, guess it's me and you, dad." Athena shrugged. "Fair enough." Marick said. "I'll go and get dressed." Athena running upstairs. Jess looked back at Marick "...Try to protect her from harm, okay?" Jess said "thats what i do best, i am a guardian afteral." Marick said. "Yeah." Jess said. Eventually, Athena climbed down and was wearing her outfit: a black hat, purple shirt with a black leather jacket, a black skirt, a star shapped earing, a side bag around her waist, purple gloves with a bracelet and equiped Eliza's old gun which contained Jess's spirit. "TA-DAH!" Athena smiled. "Nice." Marick said. "Yup. It's similar to your old outfit that you had when you were teaching Aunt Eliza and her friends. I find it more cooler than your superhero one, no offense." Athena said "I know. For this mission specificly you'll need something to cover your eyes but we will disscuss that later." Marick said as he got up. "...Well, you could just give me one of your masks that you have or something." Athena shrugged. Marick nodded. "Ark, open a portal." Marick said and Ark did so, Marick walked through. "...All you'd need is a picture of a person and you can easily see who they are if it's a simple Domino mask."Amell commented. "Dad will probably figure out, I guess." Athena said. Leon walked up to Athena and looked at her. "Sorry Leon, but you have to stay here with mom and Amell. You being with me in public would grab a bit of attention and chances are, they would probably put you in a Zoo." Athena said. Leon just annoyingly whimpered in response. Athena walked into the portal and presumably closed. "...So." Jess said. "I bet I could beat you at Tekken."Amell grinned. "...Is that so?" Jess asked. "Well, I'm only assuming. I've never seen you play it so."Amell conceded, "So yeah."He grinned. "...Alright, you little weasel, you're on." Jess smirked. And while they're playing, the scene will eventually cut back to Athena and Marick Marick and Athena appeared in the base, Sora and Malcolm looked mostly the same, though they both had longer hair, generally the same clothes. They were looking at one of the comupters on the center platform, on the main big screen in front of the center platform it shown what they were looking at. the 3 bases. "Ah, your here, and you brought Athena!" Malcolm said. "Its good to see you again Athena." Sora said. "Same." Athena nodded Marick walked to the center platform and looked at the big screen. "So, we learned a new bit of intel while you were gone. 2 of the gangs take orders from one gang, so your main target is that one." Malcolm said, and it shown the main gangs base on the screen. "Lance has a few squads who will go after the other two gangs while you and Athena take out the main one." Sora said. "Alright." Marick said. Marick said, heading to a table right by the weapons table, it had many weapon attachments. "Athena, this is gonna be a stealth mission." Marick said as he grabbed a silencer from the table. "this will make that pistol as quiet as my bow." Marick said as he handed her the silencer. Athena raised an eyebrow but she grabbed the silence nonetheless. "I already had Aunt Eliza's gun but okay." Athena said. "I know, thats what its for, her gun is technicly a pistol type gun....or is it magnum?...hmmm, cant remember but its one of those, the silencer will fit on it." Marick said. Athena nodded as she puts the silencer on the gun. "So, do we begin?" Athena asked. Marick looked at Malcolm and Sora. "Is lance ready?" Marick asked. "Him and his squads are ready to move up." Malcolm said Marick then went to the room where his motorbike was and got on, he waited for Athena. Athena got on aswell. "Once we get there, just do everything i tell you. Hold on." Marick said, as he began driveing the motorbike out of the base and into the city like before. He drove on the street until he found a tunnel in a construction area in the city, the tunnel led down to te city train station, though this looked very old. Athena just looked around. "...It's like no one has been in this place for ages." Athena said. "Yup, and thats exactly why their base is down here." marick said as he continued forward, eventualy he slowed the bike down and stopped, the tunnel kept going but there was a large area ahead. Marick got off his motorbike and brought his bow out. Athena got off aswell, while looking a bit nervous. "Dont worry, the base is very poorly fortified, this will be easy." Marick said. "I know...it's just this is my first time being a superpowered vigilante and all that. I hope I won't screw this up." Athena sighed. "You wont." Marick said. 'Trust me, i know these things." Marick said. "Okay...so, what now?" Athena asked. ""You follow me." Marick said as he walked towards the large area. revealing the base. And as he said, it was poorly defended, they basicly created the area as the base, rather then build a base within it. A few thugs roaming around, some walls, a single room which the gang leader was in. it seemed most of the gang was doing something elsewhere. Marick and Athena will have to get through a few thugs before getting the leader. "Just follow my lead." marick said, crouching behind some cover. Athena crouched aswell and hid behind a random box. "Now what?" Athena quietly asked. Marick looked around and saw a thug nearby, he also saw one on top of a ledge, overlooking the area. he sent Athena a mind message. "Take out the guard close to us after i take out the one on the ledge. Ready?" He asked via mind message Athena just nodded. Marick aimed his bow and shot a tranq Arrow at the thug on the ledge, knocking him out. Athena looked at the guard nearby and moved to a position where she couldn't be seen as she aimed Eliza's old gun at the thug and shot a plasma bolt, hitting him in the back, and with the silencer, it din't make much noise. thankfully it knocked him out, and they moved forward. there were other thugs but they were a bit away, thus they didnt need to mess with them. there were two thugs, standing outside the door to the room, the leader could be seen inside. "I'll take the one on the left, you take the one on the right, we shoot at the same time." Marick said via mind message, aiming his bow. "Kay." Athena also sent a mind message, through her power. She aimed her gun and waited Marick fired his Arrow, hitting the thug and knocking him out. Athena shot at the thug and the plasma bolt hits him. As a result he was also knocked out. Marick moved up and sent Athena a mind message. "Alright, we go in andknock him out, then leave, police will be here shortly." Marick said. Athena nodded as she followed Marick Marick was about to slowly open the door, then he heard police sirens. he kicked the door open and quickly shot the leader with an Arrow. "Get to the mototrbike!" marick said, sprinting towards it, shooting thugs with tranqs as he ran. Athena just pushed one thug out of the way as she ran and was the first one to get to the motorbike. Marick quickly got on the bike, once AThena got on he quickly drove away, just as there was gunfire heard. They were driveing out of the train station and back onto the streets of Erinfort, heading back to base. "...Well, that was fast." Athena said. "We were lucky most of their gang members were elsewhere, or else that would have taken much longer." Marick said. "I guess...if those cops din't show up, I would of took a picture with myself behind those unconscious bad guys. Picture of my first job as a crime fighter, you know." Athena said "Im tempted to turn back just so you can do that, just to see Jess's reaction." marick said, smileing. "Eh, it would just be a normal selfie. Besides, the entire place is filled with cops by now and all of them were probably arrested anyways. I can take the picture some other time" Athena said. Marick continued driveing. "Oh well." marick said as they continued driveing to base. And now we cut to Amell and Jess Back at home, Jess was...surprisingly beating Amell at Tekken. Amell was wtill doing good though, "Huh, I stand corrected."He commented, mashing buttons left and right, his character beat Jess's, although he had yet to catch up. There was one more round left and both their characters had one win "Well, game on." Jess said as her character attempted to hit Amell's. it hit, Amell struck up a combo. "You're actually pretty good with this."Amell commented. "Guess I got some of my awesomeness from you." "I guess so. I used to play lots of games with your aunt till some jerk decided to butt in and shove my spirit in a weapon." Jess said before performing a special move. "Cool."Amell said, Getting another Combo in. Jess just continued landing more hits on Amell. Amell and Jess were eventually attacking each other blow for blow. With their last bit of health, they attack one more time and both their characters get taken out. "...Oh, din't see that one coming." Jess said. A Tiebreaker round started. "...Guess it came prepared."Amell commented. "Neat." "Huh." Jess said. Then they began to fight once more. And it cuts back to Marick and Athena while they are finishing the last round. They arrived back in the base. Marick parked the bike and got off. Athena got off aswell. "We're back." Athena said. "indeed we are." Marick said, as they went inside. "Lance and his men took care of the other gangs, nice job you two!" Sora said. "Yeah, now things will probably settle down for a bit." Malcolm said. "It was pretty easy." Athena said. "Most of their gang wasnt there, but either way. We should probably return home." Marick said. "Alright, see yall later!" Malcolm said. A portal opened by Marick leading back home. Athena entered through it. "Mom, Amell, we're back and we weren't-...Uh..." Athena said, looking at Jess and Amell playing. marick walked through aswell and it closed behind him. "Dibs on faceing the winner." Marick said qithout hesitation. "You're on!"Amell called back, currently hitting Jess's character with a super-long combo. "Oh, heck no!" Jess said. She blocked Amell's attack and then hits his character with a attack that drains most of his health. Amell's then Hit hers with some kinda laser-thing. before Kicking her character "Heh!" And Jess lost. "Well, nuts." Jess sighed. Jess then looked at Marick and Athena "Oh, you're back." Jess said, now noticing. "...Yeah." Athena awkwardly said. "Yup, we are back. And now if you'll excuse me i need to show Amell how to win at Tekken." Marick said, smileing. Jess looked at her watch. "And I'll go and make dinner since I'm pretty sure you two are starving from beating some thugs." Jess said, walking into her kitchen. "...I guess I'll go and put on my pajamas since I don't have anywhere else to go really." Athena shrugged, going upstairs. Marick grabbed the controller and looked at Amell. "Defeating Jess is one thing.... Defeating me will be no easy task." Marick said. "You sure?"Amell asked, smiling rather smugly. "Beyond sure." Marick said. As soon as the fight started Marick got a combo on Amells character, and even kicked him in the face. Amell Hit Back with a Combo of his own and a Punch that sent Marrick's one flying. once maricks character stood back up, he was able to do an even longer combo, he was even punching and kicking Amells character while in the air, not even letting him hit the ground, until he did, then kicked him a few times and sent him flying with a punch.....then kicked him again. Amell Struck back with a special move and started basically spamming the Square button. as a result; Spamming punches. It didn't seem to ever end. Maricks characters health was quickly draining, after a few seconds he was able to do a perfectly timed block and stop the punchs, he did another combo, and did his own special move. Amell's character ran out of health. Round 2 Began. Amell went right into it, unleashing a flurry of combos While their match continues offscreen, In her room, Athena was in her pajamas and currently doing her homework while looking up stuff on the internet. "...Well, one thing is for certain...if someone would ask me who's family is the weirdest...I would say mine for sure." Athena said. END OF CHAPTER 2

THE ATHENA SAGA
CHAPTER 1 IDENTITY DISCOVERED
At night, in Erinfort.
It cuts to a large white mansion, which looked pretty expensive, with guards standing in front of the door and security cameras all over the mansion.
Athena and Marick, dressed in their hero outfits, and Athena wearing a mask this time, were on a rooftop, looking at the white mansion.
"So, that's where the leader of the Mob lives right?" Athena asked.
"Indeed. Kane Jemison, also known by his mobster name 'Iron'. He was put on a trial once for his suspicious activities, but the police couldn't find any evidence on him whatsoever. His goons most likely burned all the evidence to save him from his sentence." Marick, or rather White Arrow said.
"Huh. Why am I not surprised." Athena commented.
"He is counting on the fact that the Law can't stop him, but what he din't count on is the White Arrow and his sidekick, Shadow Girl, coming to his mansion to take him down." Marick said.
"Yup. Though, the only problem so far are those guards and those security cameras." Athena said, pointing at the cameras.
"Indeed. Okay, here is how we will do this: I'll take out the guards and you'll take out those security cameras. Find the best hiding spots you can find so then you won't get detected by the cameras and blast them with your gun. That way, Iron won't find out about intruders entering in his mansion." Marick said.
"Okay, I got it. But, we might have to get some evidence to show that the guy is bad, right?" Athena asked.
"Yeah, don't worry, Sora and Malcolm are working on that, they are currently gathering all the evidence of Iron and his mob's crimes and by the time we finish here, Lance will have all the info they need to bring the hammer down on Iron." Marick said.
"Oh, okay. So...should we start?" Athena asked.
"Yes. Be careful, okay?" Marick asked.
"Yeah." Athena nodded.
Marick and Athena got off the roof and made their way towards the mansion, white being detected of course.
Athena quietly sneaked around, to find the right angle to blast a camera. She hid in a bush and got her gun out, aiming it at the camera.
Athena shot a plasma bolt at the camera and it blew up.
This caught both guard's attention.
"Huh, what was-"
Then Marick shot two tranq arrows hit the guards in their necks as they slowly fell on the ground and were knocked unconscious.
Athena sneaked into another hidden spot in the garden and blasted two other cameras. She moved to another spot and blasted one more camera which was hidden in a statue's eye.
"Phew." Athena sighed in relief.
Athena got out of hidden and walked up to Marick.
"I took care of the cameras. We shouldn't have any trouble now." Athena said.
"Good work. This should be much easier. We have to sneak around in the mansion till we get to Kane's room and knock him out." Marick said.
"Okay. I'll cover your back." Athena said.
Marick nodded as they both slowly opened the door and went inside.
20 minutes later, both Marick and Athena walked out of the mansion, looking unharmed.
"Well, that takes care of that." Athena said.
"Yup. Good thing we managed to take care of the cameras and the guards first cause otherwise, this would of took much longer if Kane and those other mobsters were informed by our presence." Marick said.
"Are Mafia's so easy to take down, cause this was one was very easy." Athena asked.
"Well, many years ago, me and my students fought against Meredith's Mafia back when Other Max came back from the dead and they were pretty tough to beat. Your aunt helped me when I fought against one of them. I believe that one was a Ninja." Marick said.
"Nice. Well, I'm just glad that this is over now." Athena said.
"You're getting pretty good at this stuff." Marick smiled.
"Yeah, but it hasn't been easy what with school stuff and also being a superhero at the same time. It's been pretty difficult trying to maintain a normal life and also fight crime at the same time." Athena said.
"I know, but once you graduate, you won't have to worry about school anymore and you will have plenty of time to do what you want. Even if you are helping me take out criminals, you can still choose your own path in the future, Athena. Don't forget that." Marick said.
"Thanks...though, it isn't easy keeping this as a secret from Donald and Trixie. They're both my friends and we made a vow not to keep secrets from each other." Athena said.
"It might be for the best that you don't tell them. Who knows how they might react, plus then they might decide to get involved and might get hurt, especially if one finds out who we really are." Marick said.
"I guess...but it just doesn't feel right." Athena said.
Marick puts his hand on Athena's shoulder.
"I know it's hard, but on the bright side, they won't have to be worried about the dangers you are facing and thus, you won't hurt them by revealing that you had been helping fight crime all this time." Marick said.
"...I guess it makes sense...alright." Athena sighed.
Suddenly, the police sirens were heard.
"Seems like Malcolm and Sora delivered the info to Lance. Come on, let's get out here. Jess and Amell are most likely waiting for us to come back home." Marick said.
Athena nodded as she and Marick ran out of there and got on the motorbike and drove off.
The police escorted Kane and his goons out of the mansion and they were being watched by two mysterious shadowy figures.
"...Hm...this is quite interesting." The shadow figure said, it's voice sounding female.
In the next day.
At Athena's highschool.
Athena, Donald and Trixie were walking towards their highschool building. Athena looked a bit exhausted.
"Yo, Athena." Trixie said.
"Huh, what?" Athena asked.
"You okay? You look tired." Trixie said.
"Oh, I'm okay...guess I've been studying way too much yesterday and din't get enough sleep." Athena said.
"Geez girl, you look like you have been running for 5 hours, not study. Is everything okay?" Trixie asked.
"I'm fine, Trix, don't worry." Athena said.
"Kay, if you say so." Trixie shrugged.
"So, have you guys read the news?" Donald asked.
"About what?" Trixie asked.
"That White Arrow and his sidekick did another critical number on the crime, the rich millionaire Kane Jemison was exposed as a mobster and was taken to jail." Donald said.
"Huh, those two again? Man, every I time I watch the news, all I hear is White Arrow this, White Arrow that, that guy is all over the place, especially with that new sidekick of his 'Shadow Girl'. What kind of a cliché name is that and where did she come from?" Trixie asked.
"...Is it really that cliché?" Athena asked herself in her mind.
"She's been around for like a month now. Nobody knows what's the connection between White Arrow and Shadow Girl, but ever since she came up, the Crime rate has dropped drastically." Donald said.
"Yeah, that's true. With those two around, nobody has to be worried about getting robbed or getting in harm's way. They are doing more for this city than the police ever did, that's for sure." Trixie said.
"This city is pretty safe now with White Arrow cleaning up the mess." Athena said.
"I guess, but I don't understand why those two need to keep their identities secret from everyone. That seems shady." Trixie said.
"Obviously to keep their identities secret cause otherwise, criminals might come after them and their families." Donald said.
"You've been reading way too many comic books, Donald." Trixie said.
"No I'm not...well, maybe." Donald sighed.
"Good thing that today's Friday cause this week has been difficult." Athena said.
"Yup. What with the tests and constant homework, we can atleast enjoy some time off in the weekend. We should do some stuff together in this weekend. It's been awhile since we did anything together, what with you being suddenly very busy this month so, might aswell make up for it in this weekend." Trixie said.
"I agree." Donald said.
"Yeah, sure." Athena said.
"Alright, then it's settled. We are gonna have some fun!" Trixie smiled.
"Hopefully there won't be any missions for dad to hand out to me today." Athena said to herself in her mind.
The three were about to enter in the building till a guy wearing a helmet on a motorcycle parked in front of them. He had a black leather jacket, with a black shirt underneath, blue jeans and brown shoes. He took off his helmet, revealing to have short slicked brown hair, blue eyes and piercings on his ears.
"Oh, it's you dorks. Still hanging around together as usual, huh?" The guy asked.
"Hi, Zack." Athena, Trixie and Donald said, deadpan.
"Tch." Zack said.
"Surprised that you bothered to come to school today. What, aren't you busy with your bike races or impressing some hot girls?" Trixie asked.
"Nah, not today. I have to take that test that I missed on Monday. Races are fun, but school is this a thing." Zack said.
"Say, Zack, will you take us on a ride home on your motorcycle for today? Just this once, maybe?" Donald asked.
"Hell no, the day I'll let you dweebs ride on my motorcycle will be the day when Hell will freeze day. You guys could scratch it or worse." Zack said.
"Do you really have to be a jerk to us? It doesn't hurt to be nice once in awhile." Athena said.
"Sorry, but my image as the most popular guy in school might get tainted if I hang out with you lame-os. So, no." Zack said.
"Whatever, we don't need a jackass like you in our group anyways." Trixie said.
"Suits me fine, really. I have to get to class. See ya chumps later." Zack said, taking his bag and walking in the building.
"Good ole Zack, never failing to unimpress us." Athena said.
"Hey, was that Zack just now?" A random higschool girl asked.
"Oh my God, I think it was! Let's go after him!" The second girl said.
The two girls ran past the trio and ran into the school, going after Zack.
"Ugh, those girls are just pathetic. Seriously, is there anyone in this school beside us that isn't impressed with Zack's schtick?" Trixie asked.
"Well, he is pretty good with his motorcycle. He managed to win every motorcycle race he was in, and also managed to pass those obstacles without injuring himself." Donald said.
"Eh, I've seen better. Doubt he would win in a race against White Arrow, though." Athena said.
"Would love to see that one." Trixie said.
"Well, eitherway, let's go, our first class for today is Math." Athena said.
"Ugh, don't remind me. Let me guess, you're gonna have Martin help you with your homework as always." Trixie asked.
"Martin is nice, and is willing to help me understand these complicated equations. He is not that bad." Athena said.
"I think that's because he might have a crush on you." Donald said.
"Pft, he wishes." Athena said.
Athena, Trixie and Donald entered in the building and entered in their classroom.
Athena sat next to a guy who looked like the typical geek, who had short black hair, glasses, wearing a blue buttoned up shirt with a bow tie and black pants with a belt who was playing on the DS.
He paused the game the moment he saw Athena.
"Oh, Athena, hi!" The guy smiled.
"Hi, Martin. Say, you wouldn't mind if you would help me understand today's lesson that Mr.Thomson will teach us, right?" Athena asked.
"Sure, anything to help you out." Martin said.
"Thanks." Athena smiled.
The moment the teacher entered in the class, Athena turned her head and prepared herself to get bored half to death.
Eventually, Athena finished her classes today as she, Trixie and Donald walked out of high school.
"See ya later, guys!" Athena waved.
"Don't forget that we are gonna have fun this weekend, no school bullshit, okay?" Trixie asked.
"Got it." Athena smiled, raising a thumb up.
Athena walked into a bus that would take her to her neighbourhood and paid the driver. She sat down and looked out the window while everyone got on and the bus takes off.
Athena was currently looking at some buildings, some which had posters of her aunt, Eliza, being about the next concert she will sing in while inside the bus. Erinfort was an okay city for her, but she liked the other cities that her dad took her much better, like Newrum, Courtham Grove and Newfort for example, especially the village in Newrum.
The bus arrived at it's destination and Athena walked out of the bus.
"Thank God this week is over with so then I can get some rest." Athena sighed.
Athena walked towards her house and entered inside.
Leon ran up to her and he looked happy to see Athena.
Athena smiled as she pets Leon on his head.
"Hi, Leon, missed me?" Athena asked.
Leon nodded, as a way of saying, yes.
Jess had her purse on her and noticed Athena walking in.
"Welcome back, Athena. How was school today?" Jess asked.
"It was okay, mom. Where are you going?" Athena asked.
"Going to take Amell from school. By the way, your father told me that he wants to see you after you come back from school." Jess said.
"What for?" Athena asked.
"Something is gonna happen tonight and he said that he might need your help. As for what he needs help with, he din't tell me." Jess said.
"Oh, okay." Athena said.
"Well, Amell won't wait for too long. Bye, Athena." Jess said.
"Bye, mom." Athena waved.
Jess left the building.
Marick climbed down the stairs and walked up to Athena.
"Ah, there you are, back from school?" Marick asked.
"Yeah. So, mom told me that you need my help with something, what's up?" Athena asked.
"Well, you see, my Prophet eye activated and something will happen tonight." Marick said.
"What, another crime family or bankrobbery to take care of?" Athena asked.
"No...this one is much different. The Prophet Eye showed me that tonight, three strangers wearing trench coats will show up at a museum in Erinfort and break in, trying to find something." Marick said.
"Huh...what would these guys want from a museum?" Athena asked.
"I have no idea. But there must be a reason why my Prophet Eye showed me that. Either this is a simple robbery or...we might have to deal with some new villains." Marick said.
"Oh. Well, I'll help you as best I can." Athena said.
"Thanks. But, I want you to be careful on this one, cause this time, we might not fight against normal thugs this time, we might be facing against a new possible threat. I want you to be prepared for anything that might happen." Marick said.
"Okay. So, they'll strike tonight?" Athena said.
"Yes. We'll wear our outfits as usual. We can't let these guys know of our identities." Marick said.
"Okay. I'll be ready." Athena nodded.
"Good. You should get some rest before we start today's mission." Marick said.
"Yup, I know what you mean." Athena yawned as she walked upstairs while Leon followed her.
Ark walked up to Marick.
"Do you think she is ready for this?" Ark asked.
"I believe Athena can handle this. She will be one of this new generation's heroes, but this doesn't mean I can't help her once in awhile. If these guys will be the new villains than hopefully our training will help her a lot." Marick said.
Marick turned his head to Leon.
"And eventually, Leon will become her partner, just like you, Ark." Marick said.
"Indeed." Ark nodded.
"I'm gonna go to my base to prepare myself. I'll need you to open a portal to the museum to fight these guys." Marick said.
Ark nodded as Marick left the house.
At night.
Marick, Ark and Athena walked out of their house. Marick and Athena were in their White Arrow and Shadow Girl outfits.
"I'll be okay, mom, don't worry! And you better not go in my room and touch my stuff, Amell!" Athena called out.
Ark looked at Marick who simply nodded at him.
Ark opened up a portal that leads to the museum.
Marick turned to Athena.
"This might turn to be a tough battle, but you can handle this right?" Marick asked.
"Yeah." Athena nodded.
"Okay, let's-"
Athena's phone suddenly began ringing. She picked it up and looked at the number.
"Oh no." Athena said, the number was Trixie's.
Athena responded.
"Hello?" Athena asked.
"Hey, Athena, I'm currently at Donald's house, talking about some stuff, wanna come too?" Trixie asked.
Athena froze on spot, sweating a bit.
"...Ugh,...I can't." Athena said.
"What, why not?" Trixie asked.
"Well...I'm busy." Athena said.
"Busy? With what? I thought we talked about not worrying about school in this weekend." Trixie said.
"I know but...you see my dad needs help with..." Athena said.
"With?" Trixie asked.
"...Uh, me and him are going to the museum to...look at art...yeah, that's right." Athena said.
"Museum? At this hour? Why?" Trixie asked.
"Sorry, I have to go, bye!" Athena said, closing her phone.
Athena turned to Marick who did not look impressed with the way Athena handled this.
"Look, I din't know what to say, okay? I promised them that we would do stuff this weekend." Athena said.
"Well, hopefully, they won't decide to go to the museum. We should go there and finish this quick." Marick said.
Athena sighed before she nodded.
Marick and Athena walked through the portal as it closed.
Meanwhile, at Donald's house.
"So, what did she say?" Donald asked.
"She hang up on me! She said that she is busy with her dad apparently, saying they're going to the museum." Trixie said.
"Huh...that's odd. The Museum?" Donald asked.
"Yeah. There's definitely something going on with Athena." Trixie said.
"What do you mean?" Donald asked.
"Think about it, in these last couple of weeks, she hasn't hanged around with us too much because she is always busy with some shit and she never tells us what. I mean, we are supposed to be friends, why is she keeping stuff away from us? And we also promised that in this weekend, we wouldn't busy with other stuff and yet, Athena is doing the same crap again." Trixie said.
"Yeah, it's pretty weird...maybe she is having family problems?" Donald asked.
"Doubt that. She and her brother are cool, and so are her parents...honestly, I'm getting kinda tired of this. It's time we do something." Trixie said.
"Do something?" Donald asked.
"Yeah. We're going to the museum right now to find out what the hell is going on with Athena and what is she hiding from us." Trixie said.
"W-wait, like right now!?" Donald asked.
"Yes, right now. I don't know, I just have a feeling that Athena is in trouble or something...it just doesn't feel right, especially with how she spoke to me on the phone, like she was on the hurry or something. If she is in trouble, we have to help her." Trixie said.
"Okay...I doubt something bad is happening but alright then. Though, it won't take too long right?" Donald asked.
"Hopefully not. Come on, let's go." Trixie said.
Meanwhile, at the Museum.
The door to the entrance was busted and there were three strangers, wearing trench coats, they were searching for something. The guards were currently on the floor, each of them were unconscious.
The three strangers were breaking some display cases and grabbing some jewels. They pulled out some devices and began analizyng, only not to match with whatever they are looking for.
They dropped the jewels and continued searching throughout the museum.
Athena and Marick were at the entrance.
"These guys aren't being subtle about breaking in a museum to steal something." Athena snarked.
"Indeed. We should confront them now and stop them before they hurt anyone else." Marick said.
Athena nodded as they ran in the museum.
The three strangers were checking up more jewels, none of them matching with what they are trying to find.
Athena and Marick ran up to them and Marick aimed his bow while Athena aimed her gun at the three strangers.
"Stop...right...there." Marick intently said.
"Who are you three?" Athena asked.
The strangers did not say anything, they just stared at Marick and Athena.
"...I'm trying to read their minds...but I'm not getting anything." Athena sent a mind message to Marick.
"Hm...odd. But no matter what, whoever they are, we have to stop them." Marick sent his mind message to Athena while paying attention to the strangers.
"I suggest you three surrender or you will be defeated." Marick said.
The three strangers put their hands on their coats and rip them off...and...they're not human at all. One was a gigantic scorpion, another was a ferocious human sized wolf with veins popping out of his body and the third one was a Mutant Rhino.
Athena gasped at this.
"These guys...they are not humans!" Athena said.
"Indeed. But do not be afraid of them." Marick said.
The Wolf howled as it charged at the Vixerello's.
Marick shot multiple arrows at the wolf, hitting it and the arrows exploded. Once the smoke cleared out, the Wolf looked fine as it continued it's charge at the two.
The Rhino charged at Athena but she immediately dodged and the mutant Rhino hits the wall, getting it's horn stuck.
Athena immediately shot a beam out of her gun, hitting the Rhino and knocking it into the wall.
Marick just dodged the wolf's attacks and began punching and kicking it in the face, knocking it back slightly.
The Scorpion attempted to sting Marick with it's tail but he dodged and a shot arrow in it's face, and the arrow exploded. The Scorpion had a small hole in it's forehead, but was still able to fight as it attempted to slash Marick with it's claws.
Athena used her telekinesis to lift the shards from the display cases and stabbed the giant Rhino with them.
This only served to piss off the Rhino as it charged at Athena again.
"YIP!" Athena Yip'd as she ducked, and the Rhino hits a painting instead.
While it was stuck, Athena stood up and lifted the Rhino with the Telekinesis and began slamming it against the wall many times.
She dropped the Rhino but it slowly got up and charged at Athena again.
Athena concentrated on it's horn and she successfully managed to rip the horn out of it's head, causing it lots of pain before she stabbed it in the chest with it. The Rhino fell on the floor as a result.
The Rhino wasn't getting up and Athena looked horrified.
"....I...I think I...killed it." Athena said.
"They are not exactly people so you shouldn't be too worried about it. Besides, as long as we stop them, no innocent person will get hurt!" Marick said as he was dodging the wolf's attacks.
The Wolf punched Marick in the face, knocking him into the scorpion.
The Scorpion grabbed Marick by his throat with it's claws and attempted to pop his head off.
Marick immediately kicked the Scorpion in it's face before he used the wind to slam it against the wall, making it release him from it's grasp. Marick brought out his hardlight sword and waited for the Scorpion's next move.
The Scorpion attempted to hit Marick with it's tail, but Marick slashed the tail in half. The Scorpion roared in pain before Marick stabbed the Scorpion right in it's heart with his hardlight sword.
The Scorpion hits the floor and it wasn't getting up.
Marick pulled out his sword and turned to the Wolf.
"Your the only one left now. Surrender, or you'll end up like your friends." Marick said, aiming his sword.
The Wolf just lunged at Marick and knocked him on the ground.
The Wolf began to stab his face in with it's claws.
Athena's eyes widened.
"DAD!" Athena yelled.
Athena shot some plasma bolts at the Wolf, hitting it's back.
The Wolf turned around and roared at Athena.
Athena looked a bit scared while she was aiming her gun at the thing.
She shot some plasma bolts but the wolf dodged and it hits Athena in the face with it's claws, slashing her mask and knocking her into the wall.
Before Athena could get up, the Wolf picked her up and began to crush her in a bear hug.
"AAAAAAAH!" Athena yelled in pain.
The Wolf was about to eat her head in.
Marick's eyes widened as he immediately got up.
"MIND INTERVENTION!" Marick yelled.
Marick appeared in the Wolf's mind and shoot multiple arrows everywhere, causing explosions.
The Wolf dropped Athena on the ground as it roared in pain. The Wolf collapsed on the floor and stopped moving.
Athena's heart was beating fast as she looked at the dead Wolf.
Marick appeared in front of her, having some injuries on him from the Wolf.
"...I'm...glad that you din't get hurt." Marick said.
"....Me too...but...that was so scary." Athena said.
"I know. This is the first time you had to fight something that wasn't a normal thug or a crime boss. You will fight enemies like these in the future. They might be scary, but you can't let them intimidate you. You have to be brave, Athena." Marick said.
"...I...Guess." Athena said, looking unsure.
Marick, noticing the look on her face, walked up to her and gave her a small hug.
"Don't worry, it's okay. It's over now." Marick said.
Athena just nodded before she turned her attention to the mutants.
"...These things...what are they? How did they get here? Where did they come from?" Athena asked.
"I'm not sure. I can only think of one man who could of made creatures like these...and he was one of your grandfather's worst and dangerous enemies, but he is in the Inferno right now. And they seemed to be looking for something in here." Marick said.
"Huh..." Athena said.
Donald and Trixie arrived at the entrance and both of them looked surprised when they saw the busted door.
"Woah, what happened!?" Donald asked.
"...Oh God...what if Athena is in there!?" Trixie asked.
Trixie ran in the museum.
"TRIXIE, WAIT UP!" Donald yelled.
Donald followed Trixie.
Marick was checking on the knocked out guards.
"Well, the guards are still alive, but for now, we should get rid of these creatures so then no one will see them and leave before the police show up." Marick said.
"Okay." Athena sighed.
Donald and Trixie were now in the same hall as Marick and Athena and both of them stopped when they saw the large mutant creatures on the floor and looked shocked and also saw Marick and Athena in their White Arrow and Shadow Girl costumes, but their backs were turned so they couldn't see their faces.
"Ark, teleport these creatures somewhere else where no one can see them." Marick said.
A portal opened and the three dead mutants got sucked into the portal and it closed.
Marick turned to Athena.
"Well, that takes care of that." Marick said.
"Yeah...but, my mask is torn up now." Athena sadly said, pulling it off her face and looking at it.
"I'm sure we can sew it up or buy a new on-...Oh my." Marick said, looking behind Athena.
"What?" Athena asked, turning around...and her face turned pale immediately.
Donald and Trixie were currently standing in front of them, with their mouths open so long that a fly could get in their mouths any moment now.
"...D-Donald...T-Trixie." Athena stuttered.
"....A..A-Athena!?" Trixie asked.
"...You...but...wha!?" Donald asked.
"...This is not good." Marick confirmed.
Donald looked at Athena carefully.
"Those clothes...you...you are Shadow Girl!? You are White Arrow's Sidekick!?" Donald asked.
"....I...I...I just...Y-yes." Athena sighed, seeing as how there is no reason to lie to them anymore, now that the cat is out of the bag.
"...So...this is the reason why you were always busy? Why you never bothered to hang out with us? This is the reason why you would never tell us what's going on!?" Trixie asked, looking annoyed.
"...Y-Yes." Athena sighed.
"Jesus Christ...But, it does explain a few things...like you being busy for a entire month...and also being the same month Shadow Girl showed up." Donald said.
"....I'm sorry, Donald, Trixie." Athena said.
"What happened to our vow about not keeping secrets from each other, huh!? Why keep us in the dark about this!?" Trixie asked.
Marick turned to Trixie and Donald.
"She din't exactly lie to you two on purpose. She did it so then you two wouldn't get involved and get hurt. Athena cares about you two. Plus, by helping me fight criminals, she made this city a lot better for you two and every citizen in this town." Marick said.
"Yeah, right, if she cared so much, she would of told us about it right, she wouldn't of hid this from us! And also, who the hell are you supposed to be, White Arrow, if that's your real name?" Trixie asked.
"It isn't, but I can't say who I am. I found Athena's abilities interesting and I talked with her parents about her helping me fight criminals and make this city a better place." Marick said.
Trixie just stared.
"...So, her parents immediately accepted you taking their daughter to fight bad guys and possibly get hurt? Yeah, sure, I DEFINITELY believe you on that one." Trixie said, not believing this at all.
"....T-Those things...what were those?" Donald asked.
"We have no idea, but we defeated them before they could do serious damage. Though, honestly, this isn't as bad as you two might think." Marick said.
"It is to me, she lied about it to our faces for a entire month about she is very busy but in reality, she was fighting giant monsters and possibly injure herself or worse, get killed! Do you have any idea how devastated I would be if that happened!? Do you!? Ever since my dad passed away and mom decided to date a random jackass, Athena was the only one I thought I could trust in and now it turns out that she has been keeping a secret from her best friends and attempted to keep us in the dark for like forever! It's not cool, at all." Trixie said.
"Look, I'm sorry, Trixie, I'm sorry for breaking my promise. I promise this won't happen again. I'll be honest with you two from now on." Athena said.
"...And how are we supposed to be sure that you are telling the truth? What if you are lying again?" Donald asked.
"But it is the truth!" Athena said.
"...You know what, fuck this. Athena, I thought I could count on you and the fact that you have been hiding this from us just...to me, it seems like you don't have any trust in us and think that we can't handle the truth. I thought Amell was just kidding around when he kept spouting that you have powers but now...it seems you have been lying about who you really were for the entire time." Trixie said.
"It isn't like that, Trixie, we-"
"Forget it. You can play superhero with Mr.DC over here, but I'm not putting with this crap. Especially with someone who doesn't have any faith in her friends. Come on, Donald." Trixie said.
Trixie walked out of the museum.
Donald simply stared at Athena and sighed.
"...When you and Trix came to my rescue when I was being bullied by those girls when we were younger, did you do that just to look like a hero?" Donald asked.
"...N-no, obviously no. Will you forgive me?" Athena asked.
"....H-Honestly I'm not too sure, Athena. This is like too much for me and Trix to take in...I...just...I don't know." Donald sighed, before he walked out of the museum.
Athena ran outside.
"DONALD! TRIXIE! COME BACK!" Athena yelled.
Trixie and Donald just continued walking, not listening.
Athena looked at the ground, silently blaming herself.
Marick walked up to Athena and looked at her.
"...You know, I could use Mind Shockwave to remove their memories of them walking into the museum and finding out that you are Shadow Girl." Marick said.
"...No dad." Athena said.
"It won't hurt them, It will be like it never happened. Your grandfather once used it on some guards to make them forget about him killing the Prince and I thought about using it on Tsumiki's mother, Sarah, to erase her memory of me scaring-"
"I SAID NO, DAD!" Athena snapped at Marick.
"...Well, alright, if you say so. But, it will be a problem if they tell everyone else who you are, and they'll easily put the pieces together and figure out that I'm White Arrow and put us in risk. I'll use the Prophet's Eye to see if they tell everyone else." Marick said.
"....Okay." Athena sighed.
Marick used the Prophet's Eye to see if Donald and Trixie reveal Athena's secret.
"....Huh...they won't." Marick said.
"Really?" Athena said.
"Yes. So, this might not be too late. You can try to make amends with them and become friends again." Marick said.
"...Easier said than done. There's no way they'll forgive me after this happened." Athena said.
Marick puts her hand on her shoulder.
"Athena, the thing that you absolutely must not do is not give up. If your grandfather would of gave up so easily in trying to get together with your grandmother, then we wouldn't be here right now. You have to try as hard as you can to earn Donald and Trixie's forgiveness and not let anything stand in your way. Even if it will take you 12 years to get their trust back, it will be worth it." Marick said.
"....Yeah, I got it. I will try to call them later and try to apologise." Athena said.
Marick nodded.
"Okay, Now let's-..." Marick suddenly stopped as his Prophet's Eye activated.
Marick turned around and looked at the distance, he din't seem to look very happy.
"...Dad, what's wrong?" Athena asked.
"...It's...nothing...let's go home. Ark." Marick said.
A portal appeared in front of Athena and Marick.
Athena entered in it first and Marick was about to aswell...before he slowly turned to the direction he was looking at earlier.
"....Whoever these two are...it doesn't matter how strong they might be...when Athena will be ready...they will fail. Along with whoever else is involved with them." Marick said, sounding like a warning.
Marick then walked through the portal and it closed.
It cuts to a cliff and there were two people on the edge of the cliff. It's the two shadow figures from the mansion but now they were in clear view. There was a woman with long black hair, yellow eyes, wearing a purple shirt with short sleeves, with a black dress vest, blue pants and equipped with a Claymore and some knives, black spiky boots and was holding a binocular, watching the museum. The other one next to her was bigger than her but had green skin, it's face was shadowed but with red eyes, wearing a black open trench coat without a shirt, revealing it's chest, black gloves, a black hat, black pants without shoes and a green tail coming out of the back of his pants, shoulder length green hair and holding a sword.
The woman lowered her binoculars, smiling.
"My, my, that was a great show. The action, the tension, the drama...so perfect. This universe is far more different than ours. And these two were able to put up a fight against my creations. Though, I wonder if they will have any chance against us. Wouldn't you agree, Sin?" The woman asked.
"Yeeeeees, Veronica." 'Sin' said, with a raspy voice.
"It's a shame that my creations couldn't find our fifth and final precious item that would bring us close to our goal. The boss isn't gonna be happy about this, but oh well, atleast I had some fun watching this. Now then, let's go." Veronica said.
"Yeeeees." Sin said.
Veronica and Sin suddenly vanished.

THE ATHENA SAGA
CHAPTER 2 FRIENDSHIP
It's been a day since the fight in the museum and Donald and Trixie finding out who Athena was.
At night, in Athena's house.
She was in her bedroom, in her pajamas, leaned against her bed with the phone on her ear, trying to call Trixie.
"...Come on, Trixie, respond." Athena pleaded.
Trixie clearly wasn't responding at all.
Athena sighed before she decided to dial Donald next.
Donald wasn't answering aswell.
"Ugh!" Athena angrily said before she threw the phone on her bed since throwing it on the phone would pretty much shatter it.
Leon looked at Athena.
"...I should of told them from the start, Leon. And now it's too late." Athena sighed.
There was a knock on her door.
"Come in." Athena sighed.
Jess entered in the room.
"Oh, hi mom." Athena said.
"I heard about what happened in the museum from Marick. I'm glad that you din't get seriously hurt out there." Jess said.
"...I think hurt my friends more than those things did me in the museum." Athena sighed.
"...Oh, Donald and Trixie you mean?" Jess asked.
Athena simply nodded.
Jess sat on the bed next to Athena.
"You just have to give them some time, honey. They just recently found out that you were secretely fighting criminals for a entire time so, imagine it's a lot for them to take in." Jess said.
"I know, it's just that...I'm afraid that they'll never trust me again and we'll never be friends again." Athena said.
"Well, back before you were born and when I was...incapacitated, I din't trust any of Eliza's friends back then. I honestly thought they were gonna kill her one day while throwing one of their hissy fits but later on, she warmed up to them so from that moment on, I knew I could trust them." Jess said.
"And dad?" Athena asked.
"...Well, your father was...pretty odd to say the least when I first saw him. What with his mood swings and all, but I saw that he genuinely cares about his ex-students, your aunt and of course me. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't even be here. So, what I'm trying to say is that you should just give Trixie and Donald some time till they'll forget about the whole thing and you guys will become friends again." Jess said.
"...I should of told them the truth from the moment dad brought me to fight those thugs at their weak base. If I did, this wouldn't be happening." Athena said.
"We all make mistakes, Athena. Even if you told them from the start, the result would probably still be the same." Jess said.
"I guess so." Athena said.
"Would you want me to talk to them personally and straighten things out?" Jess asked.
"No, I'll do this myself. I don't think hearing it from you, dad or Amell will make things better. This is my mistake and I have to correct it. Tomorrow is Monday so, atleast I'lll get my chance to talk to them at school." Athena said.
"That sounds like a good idea. I'm sure you can do this." Jess said.
"Yeah. Thanks, mom." Athena said.
"No problem. All I want is you and Amell to be happy, that's all. And your dad wants the exact same thing." Jess said.
"Speaking of which, where is dad right now?" Athena asked.
"Oh, he is at New Dawn Labs, he is having Malcolm and Sora analyze those things that you fought at the Museum and trying to find out who sent them and what they wanted but no luck so far." Jess said.
"Oh, I see...well, either way, thanks mom. Goodnight." Athena said.
"Goodnight, Athena." Jess smiled as she got up and walked out of Athena's room.
Leon walked up to Athena and sat next to her legs.
Athena looked down at Leon and pats him on his head.
"...If only you were able to speak like Ark could do, Leon. I would really want to hear your advice what I should do. But, one thing is for sure, I can't give up now. I'll do my best to have Trixie and Donald forgive me and become friends again." Athena said.
Leon simply nodded.
"...Well, time to get some sleep." Athena yawned.
She turned off the lights and got in her bed.
"Good night, Leon." Athena said before closing her eyes.
Leon sat down on the floor and went to sleep.
In the next day,
At High school, during break, Athena was sitting on a bench, just looking at the messages she sent to Donald and Trixie. None of them responded at all.
Athena simply sighed in frustration.
it was a rather bright day, but oddly very few people were outside- apart from a group of teenagers crowding around Zack a fair distance away, the only other person outside was a girl, looking to be in the year below Athena.
The Girl was wearing a red cardigan, she had black hair swept over her right shoulder and a mole on her right cheek. Her foggy grey eyes were staring right at Athena from across the yard. She looked tired.
Athena just looked around and looked at the girl, raising an eyebrow, not sure if she wants to talk to her or not.
The girl continued to stare at her.
Then turned her head to the left, then to the right.
She gestured for Athena to follow her.
Athena simply raised an eyebrow but she got up and followed her.
The Girl started to walk around the field, there was no one around other than the two teenagers.
"...You look familiar."She said. "Have I seen you before?"
"...Um, no. I don't think so." Athena said.
The Girl turned around, her eyes now faintly shining, for a split second, they looked to be in the middle of a circus. Athena's heart grew heavy as the scenery returned to normal.
"...Ah, My Mistake."She said, putting her hands in her cardigan pockets. "This is such a pain..."She muttered to herself, fumbling in her pockets for something. "Look, You're...Special, right?"She asked, once she seemed to have found it.
"...Y-Yes..." Athena awkwardly said, wondering what the fuck just happened.
"In what way?"The Girl asked. "Disabilities? Powers? You've got something about you."
As she talked, the atmosphere just felt like it was getting tenser.
"...I'm...the daughter of a guardian and a psychic in a way. Most of my powers come from my mom mostly." Athena said.
"...I see."The Girl said, pulling something out of her pocket. "...That explains it."
She held her hand out, with what looked like a sheet of paper that had been completely covered in black marker, a couple of flowers, a crystal, and a key.
"I don't really know or care which of your powers came from who. But I trust you'll be able to hold on to these."
Athena just looked at the girl while she picked up the paper from her.
"Okay...so, what's your name?" Athena asked.
"...Keira."She said, eventually, leaving the mess of items with Athena as she walked away, breaking off into a run once she reached a great enough distance.
Athena just looked confused before she decided to try run after the girl.
"HEY, WAIT!" Athena shouted.
She then bumped into Martin, knocking both of them on the ground.
"OUF!" Martin said.
"Ouch, sorry Martin." Athena said, getting up and grabbing Martin's hand, helping him get up.
"No, it's okay, I'm fine...well, beside a bruised up elbow but I'm fine." Martin smiled.
Athena looked behind Martin and the girl was out of her sight.
"...What was that about?" Athena asked.
"What was what about?" Martin asked.
"....Um...It's nothing." Athena said.
The school bell rang.
"...Time to go back to class. See ya, Martin." Athena sighed, walking away.
"....Okay...see ya." Martin awkwardly waved off.
In class, Athena was sitting at her desk while looking at Donald and Trixie. None of them paid attention to her. The Teacher was currently teaching the class.
"Donald...Trixie...come on, talk to me." Athena whispered.
They weren't paying attention to Athena.
Athena decided to read their minds.
"I'm so not in the mood for your shit, Athena. Not after lying to us about you being the sidekick of that White Arrow guy." Trixie said in her mind.
"...I'm...don't know if I should really talk to her or not...but then again...it's kinda cool she is superhero...but she could of told us about it." Donald said in his mind.
Athena sighed.
"Guys, come on-"
"May I ask what is it so important that you are bothering your colleagues, Miss Vixerello?" The Teacher asked.
"Um...nothing, Mr.Paul." Athena sighed.
"Good. Now, pay attention." Mr.Paul said.
Athena just looked frustrated at this.
Eventually, once classes were over, everyone walked out of Athena's classroom.
Athena was trying to catch up to Donald and Trixie.
"Guys, wait up!" Athena said.
Athena grabbed Trixie by her shoulder and she stopped and so did Donald.
"Look, this is getting ridiculous, All I want to say is that I'm sorry, okay!? I'm sorry!" Athena said.
"...Sorry just isn't gonna cut it. Sorry isn't gonna make us forget that you lied about your entire life to us!" Trixie said.
"Trixie..." Athena said.
"We both knew each other since we were 10 years old, Athena, ever since I moved into this city, you were the first one to become my best friend. I thought we can always be clean about each other but when you can't even tell us about your secret life as a superhero, how can we actually trust you?" Trixie asked.
"Look, it was a mistake, I get it, and I hate myself for doing that, but it's gonna change now. It won't happen again. From now on, I'll be straight with you guys." Athena said.
"...Well, that sounds fair I guess." Donald said.
"...If you mean those words, then you will have to prove it." Trixie said.
"How can I prove it, exactly?" Athena asked.
"...I don't know, but honestly, I could care less. Either way, I'm not in the mood for talking, I have to go home. I have homework to do. Bye." Trixie said.
Trixie walked away while Donald looked at Athena.
"....She'll probably get it over...maybe...I think I should go too." Donald sighed.
Donald walked away.
Athena looked at the ground, looking sad.
"...I don't think I'll ever get their trust back ever again. But I can't exactly blame them for that." Athena said to herself in her mind.
Athena walked out of the building and walked past Zack who was getting his motorcycle ready.
Zack turned his head to see Athena.
"Oh, it's you. Haven't seen you this morning." Zack said.
Athena turned to Zack, glaring at him.
"Not in the mood, Zack." Athena said.
"Geez, who pissed in your lunch, today?" Zack asked.
"Just drop it!" Athena snapped.
"Woah, hostile much? By the way, where are those two other buddies of yours, you know, Donald and Trixie?" Zack asked.
"....They're...they're not in the mood to talk to me right now." Athena said.
"...Really? I mean, aren't those two your best friends forever or something like that?" Zack asked.
"...Not right now. They're mad at me." Athena said.
"What happened?" Zack asked.
"Why do you care?" Athena asked.
"I don't...I...I guess I'm just curious, that's all." Zack said.
"...Well, if you have to know, I've been keeping a secret from them for a entire month and lied to them about it. They found out and now they're angry with me." Athena said.
"Secret? What secret?" Zack asked.
"It's not important...and now, I'm not sure if we'll ever be friends again. It's funny how one personal secret can destroy a person's relationship with everyone else." Athena sighed.
"...Yeah...I guess we all have our secrets in a way." Zack said, scratching the back of his head.
"...What do you think I should do?" Athena asked.
"Your asking me for advice?" Zack asked.
"Well...yes." Athena said.
"...You should probably give them some time to cool off I guess. You should probably wait for like maybe 5 or 6 days and they'll forget about it, eventually. I mean, after seeing you three guys together, there is no way one secret can break you three apart." Zack said.
Athena looked surprised at Zack's words.
"...Zack..." Athena said.
"Look, don't get me wrong, you guys are still lame but...If there is anything I like about you dweebs is that...you have one powerful friendship that no one can break. Well, that's all I can say." Zack said.
"....Thanks Zack...I really appreciate it." Athena smiled.
"....Don't tell anyone else about this, okay? I don't want anyone else think that I'm lame aswell for talking to you." Zack said.
"It's a deal." Athena nodded.
"Kay. See you later." Zack said, putting his helmet on and driving off on his motorcycle.
Athena watched as Zack drove off.
"...I can't believe it, Zack Wilson actually being decent for once and giving me advice...I wonder if Donald and Trixie will believe this...if they'll ever talk to me again, that is." Athena said to herself in her mind.
Athena walked into a bus, paid the driver and waited to be took back to her house.
While everyone else was getting in the bus, Athena was looking at the items the strange girl left her before she walked away.
"...Keira...who is she supposed to be? And why did she give me this stuff? And what did she mean by if she saw me before. Then again, this was probably the first and last time I'll see her" Athena said to herself in her mind.
At night.
Donald and Trixie were on the streets, sitting on a bench, both of them were quiet.
"...So....do you think we should forgive Athena?" Donald asked.
"...I don't know. I really don't fucking know. Can we trust her after keeping her secrets from us?" Trixie asked.
"Yeah, she lied. But she said that she won't do it again from now on. She'll be straight us." Donald said.
"...I guess. But still..." Trixie said.
"Look, sure it was bad that she lied to us, but we are not gonna ignore her for the rest of our lives, right?" Donald asked.
"...I guess so...I still need to think about this." Trixie said.
"....Well, okay. We should probably go now, we have been sitting here ever since we left school today." Donald said.
"...Okay." Trixie shrugged, getting up.
Donald and Trixie were now walking their way home and when they passed a back alley...
"So, the Jewel hasn't been found yet?" A raspy voice was heard.
"No." A second raspy voice said.
Donald and Trixie immediately froze when they heard that. They slowly walked back and looked at the back alley and hid behind a wall. There were 5 strange...looking people there, talking. Each of them were wearing grey soldier like uniforms, wearing black helmets with a black visor, but eyes could be seen and they looked...reptilian and if they would look hard enough, they have orange skin. They have orange tails coming out of the back of their pants and have metallic clawed gloves. They were definitely not humans.
"It appears that the fifth Jewel wasn't in that museum. I have checked the entire place myself after Veronica and Sin failed and there is no trace of it there." One of the reptilian soldiers.
"I have scouted the entire area and the Jewel is not here." Another reptile soldier said.
"Then this has been a complete waste of time. The Jewel could be anywhere in this universe. Commander Kross will not be happy about this." The third Reptilian soldier said.
Donald and Trixie looked completely shocked by this while they were hiding behind a wall.
"Dude, these guys...they are not people!" Trixie whispered.
"They look like...reptitles. And seems like they have something to do with what happened in the museum with Athena and White Arrow." Donald said.
"What are they talking about a Jewel?" Trixie asked.
"I don't know. But whatever this is about, it can't be good." Donald said.
"...If these guys were looking for some important Jewel in the Museum and since Athena was there...then she is gonna be in trouble if these guys find her." Trixie said.
"And what can we do? Tell them off?" Donald asked.
"Pretty much the only thing we can do. These things don't belong here anyways so we might aswell." Trixie said.
She began walking towards the reptile creatures.
"Oh man." Donald facepalmed.
"Hey, lizards!" Trixie said.
The reptiles turned to Trixie.
"Mind your business, human. Leave now or suffer the consequences." The reptile soldier said.
"Excuse me, Mr.Orange, but you are on our planet. So, if there anyone who should leave, it's you guys! And what the hell is this Jewel you guys keep talking about and what do you want to do with it, huh?" Trixie asked.
"We have no obligation in telling you anything. Now, we're not gonna tell you again: Leave now or else." The reptile soldier.
"Sorry, but no. I'm not gonna let you uglies do whatever the hell you want and hurt innocent people." Trixie said.
The soldiers took offense to that.
"WHAT DID YOU CALL US!?" One of the Reptile soldiers asked.
Donald stepped out of hiding and stood in front of Trixie.
"S-sorry about my friend, you see, she has this condition where she says stupid shit just to see what will happen next." Donald said.
Trixie glared at the back of Donald's head.
"So, we'll be off our way to-"
The Reptiles approached Trixie and Donald, each of them cracking their fists.
"We din't find the Jewel, but atleast we can get some satisfaction out beating the snot out of two primitive humans. The Kheogs never let those who mock them live and tell the Tale." The Kheog soldier said.
Trixie and Donald's eyes widened as they turned around and tried to run but one of the Kheogs jumped and landed in front of them, aiming it's fists clawed gloves at them while the other four surrounded Trixie and Donald.
Meanwhile, at Athena's place.
In her room, she was currently looking at the items Keira left her, trying to make some sense out of them.
"Hm...just what-"
Suddenly, Athena's eyes glew purple. She was having a vision. The vision was showing her Donald and Trixie being surrounded by the Kheog soldiers at the back alley.
Athena's eyes widened.
"TRIXIE, DONALD!" Athena yelled.
Athena immediately got up and threw the items on her desk and pulled her Shadow Girl clothes out of her closet, including a new mask Marick gave to her, to replace the one that was teared up.
She ran out of the room and marched downstairs.
"Athena, where are you going in such a hurry?" Jess asked.
"I have to go somewhere important, mom! I'll be back in a few minutes!" Athena yelled before she left the house.
"...Be careful out there." Jess sighed.
Back at the back alley.
Donald and Trixie were currently dodging some attacks from the Kheogs.
Trixie picked up a plank and attempted to slam a Kheog in the head with it.
The plank broke and it din't harm the Kheog at all. The Kheog attempted to stab Trixie with it's claws.
"YIP!" Trixie Yip'd as she dodged.
Donald attempted to throw rocks at the Kheogs. The rocks were hitting them but they barely paid attention to them as they walked forward to Donald.
Donald attempted to punch one of them but he dodged and punched Donald instead, knocking him on the ground.
Most of Trixie's kicks and hits were useless against the soldiers as they began to crowd The two humans.
"Trixie, this is definitely your fault!" Donald said.
"Well, excuse me, but what would you want? These guys killing the entire planet?" Trixie asked.
"Quiet! Now time to pay the price for your insolence!" The Kheog soldier said.
The Kheogs got their weapons out, aiming them at Donald and Trixie.
They absolutely looked scared.
"...Well, guess I'll see you in the afterlife after all...dad." Trixie said.
"FIRE!" The Kheog soldier said.
The Kheogs shot at Trixie and Donald...and their blasts suddenly stopped in mid-air.
The Kheogs looked confused, as did Donald and Trixie.
The blasts suddenly went back towards the Kheogs and they got hit by the blasts, knocking them on the ground.
Athena landed in front of Donald and Trixie, despite wearing the mask, she clearly looked pissed.
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Athena yelled.
"Athena?" Donald and Trixie asked.
The Kheogs got up and looked at Athena.
"Isn't this the one who interfered in Veronica's plan back at the museum?" The Kheog soldier asked the others.
"Yes, but the one with the arrows isn't here." The Other soldier said.
"No, he isn't. Now, I'm gonna give you guys the chance to walk now or I'm gonna make you regret trying to hurt my friends!" Athena said.
"Do you think some human like yourself can intimidate us? We are the Kheogs, we are proud warriors of our lost planet, Eyrilia. We do not back down from our enemies." The Kheog said.
"And I'm Athena Vixerello, the daughter of a guardian who din't back down from his enemies either, and neither will I!" Athena said.
She shot some plasma bolts at the Kheogs from her gun.
The Kheogs blocked most of the plasma bolts with their gloves before they charged at Athena.
Two of them attempted to punch her but Athena kept dodging their moves before she jumped and kicked both of them in their faces, breaking their visors.
Another attempted to shoot at her but she dodged as telekinetically lifted the Kheog soldier and smacks him against the wall.
The fourth one was sneaking behind her, attempting to catch her by surprise but Athena just backhanded the fourth Kheog in the face before kicking him into a wall.
Donald and Trixie looked amazed by what they were seeing.
Athena turned to Donald and Trixie.
"Okay, you guys should leave now before-"
The fifth Kheog grabbed Athena by her throat and picked her up.
"ATHENA!" Trixie yelled.
Athena struggled, trying to break free but the Kheog tossed her to the other Kheogs.
Two Kheogs punched Athena in the face while the other two blasted her with their weapons.
Athena fell on the ground, looking a bit bruised up.
"C-Crap!" Athena yelled.
She attempted to get up and the five Kheogs aimed their weapons in her face, ready to blast.
"Now, human, face your execution!" The Kheog said.
Suddenly, Trixie jumped on the Kheog.
"LEAVE HER ALONE, YOU ORANGE JACKASS!" Trixie asked.
"GET OFF ME, YOU WILD HUMAN!" The Kheog panicked.
Out of reflex, The Kheog accidently shot one of the soldiers and he got knocked on the ground.
The two Kheog soldiers with the broken visors attempted to help their Kheog comrade who was attacked by Trixie till Donald ran up to them with two empty bottles which were on the ground and slammed the two Kheogs in their faces, getting shards in their eyes, they yelled in pain.
"I CAN'T SEE!" One of them yelled out.
Both of them fell on the ground, with their hands on their faces.
Trixie just grabbed the weapon the Kheog was holding and shot the Kheog in the helmet, breaking half of it, exposing it's head. Trixie then punched the Kheog in the head hard before she jumped off the Kheog and kicked him in the back, knocking him on the ground.
There was only one more Kheog who wasn't either unconscious or bleeding and aimed it's weapon at Donald and Trixie.
"STOP RIGHT THERE OR I'LL SHOOT!" The Kheog threatened.
Athena shot the Kheog with a beam from her gun and he got knocked into a wall before sliding slowly on the ground.
Athena ran up to her friends.
"You guys are okay?" Athena asked.
"Yeah, we are." Donald nodded.
One of the Kheogs slowly got up and pressed a button on it's glove.
"Commander Kross, we had been attacked by hostile humans and two of us need emergency!" The Kheog responded
The five Kheogs were teleported out of the back alley and vanished.
Athena lowered her gun and sighed in relief.
"Thank God." Athena said.
She turned to Donald and Trixie, removing her mask and hat
"I'm glad you guys are okay." Athena said.
"Yeah..." Trixie said, looking a bit awkward.
"....Um..." Donald said, trying to think of something to say.
Athena looked at the ground.
"...Once again, I'm sorry guys. I promise this won't happen again. I'll be honest with you two from now on." Athena said.
"...Well, okay...but, why did you come here? How did you know?" Trixie asked.
"I have some psychic powers so, thanks to them, I knew that you two in trouble and I had to show up. You two are my friends and I won't let anyone hurt you too. That's one of the main reasons why I helped White Arrow get rid of crime in this city, to make it safer for you guys." Athena said.
"...Huh...that's...woah...very nice of you Athena....thanks." Donald said.
"So, can you two forgive me?" Athena asked.
Trixie looked at the ground.
"...Well...I'm still a bit peeved off but...you did come here to save us from those freaks, so you clearly care about us...so...I guess I can let this whole thing slide and become friends again." Trixie said.
"Yeah, what she said." Donald said.
Athena looked happy to hear this.
"Thank you, guys! You don't know how much this means to me!" Athena said.
"As we said, friends to the end." Donald said.
"Yup. Though, you guys won't tell anyone else about this, right?" Athena asked.
"Nope. We'll keep this only between us, as friends. Just do not hide any more shit from us, okay?" Trixie asked.
"Okay." Athena said.
"Good." Trixie smiled.
"So...we should probably go back home now." Donald.
"Yeah." Athena said.
Athena, Donald and Trixie walked out of the alley and were going towards home.
"...That fight was cool." Donald said.
"Hell yeah it was! That was awesome! The way Athena fought those lizard guys and owned their asses! I blasted one of those freaks and smashed their eyes in with two bottles! That was epic!" Trixie said.
"...I hope I din't severly blind those guys." Donald said, looking a bit worried.
"Athena, did you have awesome battles like these back before this?" Trixie asked.
"...Well, not so many. Well, there was the museum and the back alley fight. Though, my family have fought many other tough opponents than those guys." Athena said.
"Girl, you need to tell us all the details! Does your family have super powers too?" Trixie asked.
"Well, yeah. You see, my grandpa..." Athena said, beginning to tell them about her family.
While they were walking, Marick and Ark were on a rooftop, and they were watching the whole thing.
"Seems like she earned their trust back after all." Ark said.
"Indeed. And she is now ready for what the future will bring. And I'm sure she and her friends can take care of this. I will help her once in awhile." Marick said.
"I see." Ark said.
Marick turned to Ark.
"Let's go. Athena will be waiting for us back home." Marick said.
Ark nodded as he opened up a portal and they both walked through it and it closed.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Space.
It cuts to the Intergalatic Space Police Base.
Inside, in a Emergency Meeting room. Jaden was sitting at a table and around him were some new people who joined the Intergalatic Space Police over the years and those were Mibyll, the General guy with glasses from Mibyll's world who was watching the fight from the second Tournament known as Cirak, the Omnipotent of War, Dasawert, the scientist who is the Omnipotent of Intelligence, a woman with grey hair wearing a black jacket and white pants, known as Ymarac, the Omnipotent of Truth, A woman with short brown hair and glasses wearing a ISP uniform, known as Yarim, Omnipotent of Technology, Lyra and..Vlad? Vlad was there for some reason. There were some empty chairs, either there were more members who weren't there or there were just there for sitting.
"So, they have decided to make their move, it seems." Jaden said.
"Indeed. With the info we got from the Egyptian Universe and by taking a good luck as the map of the Multiverse, the last Jewel definitely has to be in this Universe, the third Universe." Yarim said.
"It's the same one that Hastur and Verita attempted to 'improve' and also the same one in which they died." Dasawert said
"...What is it that attracts these people to this Universe?" Jaden asked.
"No idea." Yarim shrugged.
"Either way, the Legion will most likely attempt to take the final Jewel and use the Crown that Kamest made to make themselves powerful." Dasawert said.
"I discovered some activites that happened on this Earth that are most likely related to the Legion." Yarim said.
"And those are?" Jaden asked.
"Well, they attacked a museum to find the Jewel and some Kheogs appeared in a town but haven't found anything." Yarim said.
"It's definitely those sons of bitches's work, no doubt about it." Cirak said.
"Seems likely. And they have recruited new members aswell. We have to find the last Jewel before they do or else, we are all doomed if they get their hands on it." Jaden said.
"So, what do we do?" Mibyll asked.
"Once they'll make their next move, We'll intervene. The Black Crow must be stopped no matter what the cost is." Jaden said.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the 2st Dimension, where Gafust and Gekez live.
On a large mountain, there was a big Citadel, and there were many crows circling around the Citadel.
Inside, in a meeting room, there were 12 people in it, sitting at a table.
The first one was a old man, not wrinkled, short black hair, red eyes, black moustache, wearing a black coat with a red shirt underneath it, black pants and holding a cane.
The second was a Kheog who was wearing a black general uniform with a black cape, a helmet with a orange visor and his reptilian eyes can be seen, black pants and two metallic clawed gloves who looked infuriated.
The third was a Neonytian with pale skin, short yellow hair, glasses, wearing a labcoat with a brown shirt, black pants and his right hand was robotic.
The fourth one was a large Robotic Entity who was most likely similar to Mechano, with blue metal skin, a single red eye which was flashing, it din't have a mouth, only a small voice speaker device, a green reactor core in the middle of it's chest and it's hands were clawed. Three claws on each hand.
The fifth one was a Lovian who was quite more taller and muscular than Azvo, a scar over his left eye, wearing a technological armor on him complete with shoulder pads and pointy heavy braces on his wrists.
The sixth one was a human with short white hair, a 5 O clock shadow, wearing a purple coat with a blue buttoned up shirt with a purple tie and a Notebook in his coat's pocket, with a title 'Death Note'. The human had his arms folded and din't look patient.
The seventh one was a demon with grey skin, bald, red eyes, wearing a white robe, a gold necklace and two yellow earrings who looked pretty meh.
The eight one was the Omnipotent of electricity, Kelou, who has slightly longer hair, still wearing his pancho, sombrero, scarf around his mouth and guitar.
The ninth one was a male with pale skin, black lips, wearing a belted jacket with black gloves and equipped with a laser sword.
The tenth one was Veronica of course, looking happy as always.
The eleventh one was Sin, who was sitting next to Veronica and his arms were folded, his eyes were covered by his hat.
And the twelveth and final one was a woman, with yellow eyes but din't have eyelashes, really long yellow hair, wearing a black hat, a yellow collar on her neck, a black open longcoat with a long-sleeved red shirt underneath, brown pants and equipped with a gun which looked a bit familiar. This one was most likely a Other.
"Now then, I believe we all know why we are here. To discuss about the final item that we need to achieve our plans. The fifth Jewel of the Crown of Deity." The old man said.
"Confirmed." The robot said.
"Why is it taking it so long? How hard could it be for you to find a blasted Jewel to powerup a Crown?" The human asked.
"Still as impatient as always, human. Your starting to get on my nerves." The Demon said.
"The Jewel could be anywhere in some universe. Don't expect us to do all the work while you are sitting on your ass and whine about it." The Other woman with yellow hair.
"Excuse me? For your information, I have far more important things to do than sitting here and hang around with you monsters." The human said.
"Oh, Henry, Henry, Henry, you should of learned by now that your intolerant racism against other beings more powerful than you is a pretty bad idea. I would hate to see you get killed because of it." Veronica said.
"To be fair, none of us would miss him anyways." A...second Henry said, with a pretty monotone voice.
The human with white hair, Henry, angrily turned to his doppleganger.
"Oh, quit it, Shapeshifter!" Henry yelled.
The second Henry changed back to the male with pale skin, who was smirking.
"Anyways, I believe we may have found the location of the fifth Jewel. Doctor Cronos, could you do the honors?" The old man asked.
"Certainly." The Neonyte, Cronos, said, his accent sounding a bit german.
Cronos got up and picked up his transceiver, pressing a button and showing a hologram of Earth.
"Behold, the Earth of the Third Dimension. This is where the fifth Jewel might be." Cronos said.
"What's so special about this Earth?" Kelou asked.
"One of our scouts went to this planet once, in a attempt to inhabit it. Unfortnately, things got messy when a Guardian interfered and killed two of our people. A Neonyte blew up the Earth in a rage and this caused the Omnipotent of Fear to show up and slaughter many of our troops. Quite a tragic year it was." Cronos said.
"Wait, so if Earth blew up, what about the Jewel? Did it survive the blast?" Henry asked.
"Earth somehow came back to how it was and the Jewel is most likely still intact and it's on Earth as we speak." Cronos said.
"And I believe Veronica and Sin checked out this planet, correct?" The old man asked.
"Me and Sin sent our experiments to find the Jewel but it wasn't there. Unexpectedly, they got killed by two people with powers who proved to be pretty strong." Veronica said.
Sin growled in response to that.
"My soldiers had been sent to check the entire area out and the Jewel wasn't there. It could be anywhere on that blasted rock and worst of all, they got assaulted by some savage humans and two of my men are now temporarly blind thanks to those humans. I won't forgive them for this." The Kheog said.
"Ha, seems like your men aren't as strong as you make them out to be, Kross." The Lovian smirked.
"Are you challenging the might of the Kheogs, Zhovet?" Kross asked, slamming his fist against the table.
"Oh no, Zhovet wouldn't dream of challenging as weak as your army, Kross. You failed to take over the planet of animals and lost most of your ships and technology" Zhovet said.
"Why you pile of black goo, I should just-"
The old man slammed the table with his palm.
"That's quite enough, gentlemen. Let's focus on the main topic. Commander Kross, your men fought against the same two who fought Veronica's creations?" The old man asked.
"Only one. It was the girl with the mask, the one with the arrows din't interfere. Seems like they are doing their best to prevent us from taking the Jewel. They made it clear that they won't stop anytime soon." Kross said.
The Old man looked at the ground, his eyes glowing slightly yellow.
"...Well then...I suppose...we have no choice but to let these fighters know of our existence and fight back. If we have to take the Jewel with force and get our hands dirty, then so be it." The old man said.
"But, what about those porkers from the ISP? They got some Omnipotents on their side and will try to fight us too." Kelou said.
"Yes, but we have gained new powerful members so the ISP shouldn't be that much of a problem, now should it? With only one Jewel remaining, nothing can stop us from accomplishing our dreams and desires." The old man said.
"That is correct, Black Crow." The robot said.
The old man, Black Crow nodded before he stood up.
"Now...my Legion of Crows..." The Black Crow said.
"Kross." referring to the Kheog
"Cronos" referring to the Neonyte.
"Micro" referring to the giant blue robot.
"Zhovet" referring to the Lovian
"Henry" referring to the human with white hair
"Seth" referring to the Demon
"Kelou" referring to the Omnipotent
"Chameleon" referring to the male with pale skin who shapeshifted into Henry earlier
"Veronica" referring to her
"Sin" referring to him
"And Ate" referring to the Other Woman with yellow hair
"It's time we spread our wings..." The Black Crow said.
He hits the floor with his cane.
"And fly to our next world: Planet Earth of the 3rd Dimension. and Retrieve the Fifth Jewel without Fail." Black Crow said.
"Yes. Yeeeeees." Sin said.
"Heh." Ate smiled.
The Crown of Deity was on the table, in front of the Black Crow. The 4 colored Jewels were on the Crown, from left to right were red, green, yellow and pink. There was a empty space in the middle of the Crown. That is most likely where the 5th and final Jewel will be put in.

THE ATHENA SAGA
CHAPTER 3 THE ARRIVAL OF THE LEGION
A few days have passed since Athena, Trixie and Donald became friends again and no one heard about the Kheog incident in the back alley.
At high school.
In Athena's class, her teacher was currently telling the class about reading their next literature and not check a short summary of it on the internet.
Athena just looked bored while she was looking out the window.
Martin of course was paying full attention to what the teacher was saying.
Donald was mostly drawing random shit in his notebook and Trixie had her headphones on, listening to music.
Eventually, the bell rang.
"And that concludes today's lesson. Now, don't forget that after reading the book, I want you all to write a two page essay about what you understood in the book and it's symbolism. And if I see that it was copy pasted from the internet, you will get a F without question. Dismissed." The teacher said.
Everyone got out of class and walked out of high school.
"Two page essay? Man, you have to be kidding me." Trixie said.
"Eh, it's not that bad." Donald shrugged.
"I would rather fight those giant lizards again than writing a dumb essay." Trixie said.
"Not sure if that's a good option either." Athena said.
"Oh, don't be so dramatic about it. You have super powers, with you around, those lizard freaks won't dare to fuck with us again." Trixie said.
"It's not those lizards that I'm worried. I have a feeling that there is something bigger going on in here." Athena said.
"You think so?" Donald asked.
"Well, yeah. All of these strange things that happened in these days are connected to this mysterious 'Jewel'. I mean, the Museum break-in, those Kheog lizards being here to find it, there must be a person behind all of this and wants something with the Jewel." Athena said.
"Yeah, but who could it be?" Donald asked.
"Maybe it's those no-nosed aliens that your grandpa pissed off." Trixie suggested.
"That was like a long time ago and they never attacked us again after that incident was over with." Athena said.
"I was just suggesting. Or maybe it could be that Asshole King of Evil who came back to life and wants payback on your family." Trixie said.
"That guy separated in two people and he died like many years ago so that's out of the question." Athena said.
"Well, then I'm out of ideas then." Trixie said.
While walking, they turned to see a group of girls who were standing around Zack, who was giving them autographs.
"If that guy would turn to be the Jewel that these freaks wanted, I would be so pissed." Trixie said.
"He is not really that bad." Athena said.
"Not bad?" Trixie asked.
"Yeah. In fact, he adviced me about how I should convince you guys to forgive me." Athena said.
"...He really did that?" Donald asked.
"Yeah." Athena confirmed.
"...Zack Wilson...being nice...After seeing alien lizards, I'm not sure what to believe in anymore. What's next, Santa Claus actually existing?" Trixie asked.
"That would be funny." Athena said.
"And stupid." Trixie said.
"...So, what do we do? Regarding the Jewel thing?" Donald asked.
Athena puts her hand on her chin.
"...We should have a discussion about this and connect the dots. Alright, at 3:00 PM, we'll meet in the forest to think carefully about this and figure out who could be responsible of all these weird shenanigans that happened in these last couple of days." Athena said.
"Sounds good to me." Trixie said.
"Yeah, me too." Donald said.
"Cool. I'll see you guys in the forest and don't forget, 3:00 PM" Athena said.
Donald and Trixie nodded as they parted ways and Athena got in the bus that would take her home. There was lot of stuff on her mind and hopes that she will get an answer to all of this.
Some time later, at 2:55 PM.
Athena walked out of her house, in her black long-sleeved shirt and blue pants.
"Bye, mom, dad." Athena waved at before she walked away.
She was heading towards the forest that was scheduled for the meeting while thinking about what has been happening lately.
"...Chances are, there might be more people out there who are after this Jewel for some reason. And that means I'll have fight them...will I be able to take them on like my dad and grandpa did? Do I stand a chance? And should I even get my friends involved in this? The last thing I want is them getting seriously injured during a fight or worse...get killed like Shawn did...could this Keira girl be behind this?" Athena said.
Athena walked into the forest and was looking around for Donald and Trixie.
She walked around for a bit till she spotted them sitting on a log.
"Hey guys!" Athena called out, waving at them.
They turned to Athena.
"Hey, you arrived just in time." Trixie said.
Athena walked up to them and sat down beside them.
"Yup. I wasn't gonna miss this after all." Athena said.
"Alright so...this Jewel thing." Donald said.
"What, you found out something about it?" Athena asked.
"Well, I looked in the computer to find some info about on the internet but of course, it showed me many different types of Jewels so it's hard to tell which one is which. There is one expensive Jewel belonging to the L'aurlethe family from Newrum State City but I don't think that one is it either." Donald said.
"The L'aurlethes? You mean the family of the ex-president who's daughter is gonna run for President now?" Trixie asked.
"Yeah, those ones." Donald said.
"Huh, my dad and grandpa know them. Well, the daughter of the ex-president was one of my dad's students." Athena said.
"For real? Your dad sure knows lots of people." Donald said.
"Yup. Amila's father as president agreed to Verita's terms about taking everyone's emotions away but my dad and his friends defeated her and from what I heard, Amila and her dad don't get along ever since that incident." Athena said.
"...Okay." Donald said, sounding weirded out about this.
"Athena, you must probably be the most luckiest person alive. Your aunt is a famous singer, your parents are superpowered badasses and your dad is a superhero who fights crime and you're related to a rich family from another city." Trixie said.
"Not sure if lucky is the right word here." Athena said.
"So, who do you think could be responsible for all these strange attacks? And what would he or she want with the Jewel?" Donald asked.
"How should we know that?" Trixie asked.
"...If only I had my dad's Prophet Eye, this would probably be much more easier." Athena sighed.
"Say, couldn't your dad help us out here? He is White Arrow, and beat lots of tough guys before you were born, he could help us beat up whoever sent those lizards and mutant things from the museum." Trixie said.
"He probably could, but he is busy with fighting criminals right now especially since he and the police are on the same league now." Athena said.
"Well, that sucks." Trixie said.
"I guess. Well, is there anything else?" Donald asked.
"...Well, now that you mention it. Before we became friends again...I met someone strange at high school." Athena said.
"Strange?" Trixie asked.
"Yeah...it was a girl and her name was Keira. She is definitely not a student there since I never saw her before and...some strange thing happened while we were talking. We suddenly appeared in the middle of the circus and then we were back to high school." Athena said.
"...Huh?" Donald asked, looking confused.
"Yeah, it's hard to believe but it happened. And she gave a paper with flowers, a crystal and a key. I have yet to make any sense of it." Athena said.
"...Could it be related to the Jewel?" Donald asked.
"Possibly. But, before we could talk further, she ran off." Athena said.
"Weird." Trixie said.
"Yeah...she definitely has a power, I'm sure of it." Athena said.
"Do you think she could be the one who wants the Jewel and sent those freaky monsters after us?" Trixie asked.
"Honestly, I don't know. I have no idea if she is even involved in this." Athena said.
"Well, she is our only lead so far. Maybe we could..." Donald said.
Suddenly, some noises were heard.
Athena immediately turned around.
"Huh?" Athena asked.
Some footsteps were heard, and it seems like they were coming towards Athena, Donald and Trixie...but they sounded metallic.
"...What the hell is that noise?" Trixie asked.
Athena just got up and slowly pulled her gun out.
"I'm not sure." Athena said.
Some three red lights were visible amongs the trees and they were coming towards the three. They stepped out of the shadows and we're revealed to be...robots apparently. Each of them had white metallic skin, with clawed robot hands and each of them had a single red eye.
Donald and Trixie also got up.
"....Robots?" Donald asked.
"....You gotta be kidding me." Trixie sighed.
Athena just intently looked at the robots before she aimed her gun at them.
"I'm gonna guess you guys are after the Jewel aswell?" Athena asked.
The robots din't respond. Instead, they charged at the three.
"OH CRAP!" Donald yelped.
"Here they come!" Trixie said.
Athena immediately shot three plasma bolts at the robots, hitting them in their eyes. Once they got hit, their heads exploded and they fell on the ground.
Donald and Trixie looked equally surprised.
"...Well, that was fast." Donald said.
"Talk about anti-climatic." Trixie said.
Athena turned to Donald and Trixie.
"I doubt that was the last of them. More of them might show up. We'll have to get out of here, now!" Athena said.
"Ugh, okay!" Trixie said.
Athena and Trixie ran out of there.
"GUYS, WAIT UP!" Donald yelled.
Donald ran after Athena and Trixie.
The three continued to run till a sudden ball of electricity hits a tree and it lands on the ground in front of them.
"Woah!" Donald said.
More electric balls were flying towards them and they ducked.
Another robot showed up, shooting at them with electric balls.
Athena shot plasma bolts at the robot.
The robot dodged the bolts and shots more electric balls at them.
Athena ran towards the robot, dodging the electric balls and kicked it in the face.
The robot, in return, smacked Athena in the face, knocking her on the ground.
The robot aimed it's hands at Athena, ready to hit her with it's electric balls.
It shot two balls at Athena but they suddenly stopped.
Athena used her telekinesis to stop the balls and they flew towards the robot.
The robot get electrified and it collapsed on the ground.
"ATHENA, WE HAVE COMPANY!" Trixie shouted.
Athena turned around and three more robots showed up, approaching Donald and Trixie.
Donald, out of fear and panic, picked up a stick and aimed it at the robots.
"GO OFF! SHOO!" Donald yelled.
The robot smacked the stick out of Donald's hand and was ready to hit him.
Athena lifted the robot off the ground with her telekinesis and smacks it against a tree.
The two other robots shot Athena with electric balls, knocking her on the ground.
The robots charged at Athena and were ready to hit her with their electric balls.
Trixie picked up a big rock and ran to the robots.
"HIA!" Trixie shouted, smashing one robot's head in with the rock.
The robot collapsed and the other one turned to Trixie, grabbing her by her leg and lifting her to it's face.
"LET ME GO YOU BUCKET OF BOLTS!" Trixie yelled.
Athena shot a beam out of her gun, piercing through the robot and it broke in pieces.
Trixie landed on the ground and was uninjured.
Athena helped Trixie get up.
"Holy crap, thanks A." Trixie sighed.
"No problem. Now, let's get out of here before more of them show up." Athena said.
"I AGREE!" Donald yelled out.
Athena and her friends continued running as fast as they could.
Eventually, they made it out of the forest and were at the Erinfort Park. Thankfully, no one was there at the time.
The three stopped running and began to take a breath.
"Holy shit, that was so scary." Trixie said.
"Yeah, I know." Athena said.
"I feel I can't breathe." Donald said, sweating.
Suddenly, the same robotic footsteps were heard.
Their eyes widened as they turned around and saw three similar robots walking out of the forest and going towards them.
"For fuck sake!" Trixie said.
Athena aimed her gun at them.
"Oh, God, there is more!" Donald said, pointing.
Athena turned around and three more robots appeared at the park and were going towards the three.
"Hey, you assclowns, get out of the way!" Trixie yelled.
"There is no use in trying to talk to them. They are clearly gonna fight us no matter what." Athena said.
"Let's just take these things down and get out of here!" Donald said.
"Yeah!" Athena said.
Athena shot plasma bolts at one of the six robots. The robot got hit and exploded in pieces.
The 5 other robots shot electric balls at the three.
Athena used her telekinesis to stop the balls and threw them at the robots instead.
Some robots dodged the balls while one got hit by a ball and collapsed on the ground.
The four other robots separated. Two were going after Athena while the other two were going after Donald and Trixie.
Athena basically dodged most of the robots attacks.
Trixie and Donald were mostly dodging out of reflex and were trying to find something to smash the robots with.
Athena shot more plasma bolts at the two robots but they din't fall down.
One robot stretched it's arm out and grabbed Athena by her neck.
"AGH!" Athena yelled.
The robot then dragged Athena to it's face and was ready to stab her with it's claws.
Athena kicked the robot multiple times in the face before she jumped back.
She used her telekinesis and lifted the two robots, smashing them into each other multiple times and she wasn't stopping.
The robots were now in pieces before she dropped them on the ground.
Athena turned to the last two robots who were attacking Donald and Trixie.
Athena shot a beam at one of the two and destroyed it.
The last one turned around and got kicked in the face by Athena, knocking it on the ground.
The robot was about to get up till Athena shot it in the head with a plasma bolt, destroying it's head.
Athena was panting and sweating and looked pretty tired.
"Jesus Christ!" Trixie said.
"Are you okay?" Donald asked.
Athena puts her hand on her knees.
"Yeah...it's just I never used my power so much for the first time...it's pretty exhausting." Athena said.
"Atleast that was the end of it." Donald said.
Right after Donald said that, more robots showed up out of the forest. About 6 of them.
Two more showed up at the Park's entrance and they surrounded the three.
The three looked shocked.
"MORE OF THEM!?" Donald asked.
"No matter how many we take out, they just keep coming!" Trixie said.
"How do we stop them!?" Donald asked.
Athena just looked around, feeling someone's presence in here.
"...We are clearly not alone. Someone is sending out these robots. And he won't stop till we are dead." Athena said.
"Are you serious?" Trixie asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure of it...Whoever you are, show yourself! Unless you are scared, that is." Athena said.
At first, there was no response...till suddenly a few chuckles were heard from different voices, taking the three by surprise.
"Seems like she is demanding for us to make our grand appearance." Veronica's voice was heard.
"Then let's give her what she wants." Seth's voice was heard.
A few more chuckles were heard.
"SHOW YOURSELVES!" Athena yelled out.
Suddenly, 12 holograms of the Legion of Crows appeared. In order were Seth, Ate, Zhovet, Kross, Veronica, Sin, Micro, Henry, Kelou, Chameleon, Cronos and of course, the Black Crow.
"...Who...the fuck..." Trixie said in disbelief.
"...Are these guys...ghosts or..." Donald said.
"...Holograms." Athena said, looking intently at the holograms before approaching them.
"Greetings, young ones. I'm sure you to interrupt your activities, especially on a beautiful day like this. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is the Black Crow. And these are my colleagues you see. Together, we are the Legion of Crows." Black Crow said.
"Legion?" Trixie asked.
"...A group of crows is usually called a murder." Donald said.
"Well then, I hate to imagine what's gonna happen to you next." Cronos said.
"I can. You three attacked my men and blinded two of them. You will pay for your insolence!" Kross said.
"Hey, this one looks like those lizard guys we fought against." Trixie said.
"And he is definitely not happy." Donald gulped.
The Black Crow looked at Athena.
"So, this is what you look like without your mask on. Tell me, my dear, what's your name?" Black Crow asked, for some reason looking at Henry.
"None of your business." Athena said.
"Hm...I see." Black Crow.
"Tch, like that would of been too easy. Especially for a mutant thing like her." Henry spat.
Athena just glared at Henry before looking back at the Black Crow.
"So, young one, where is the one who was with you in the museum? The archer that is." Black Crow asked.
"Not like I would ever tell you in a million of years. He is doing something very important right now. If he was here, he would defeat you and your pals easily. Now, tell me, what do you want? And why are you attacking us." Athena asked.
"We have but one goal, you see. We have come to retrieve the 5th Jewel of the Crown of Deity from the 3rd Dimension. You, missy, got involved twice in our business and tried to stop us. We can't let anyone get in our way, especially how close we are now to fullfil our plans." The Black Crow said.
"Crown of Deity? What the heck is that?" Trixie asked.
"Playing dumb, huh? Looks like we will have to be more persuasive." Zhovet said.
"You are right. In the meantime, I'm gonna play a little funeral tune for these buckos as these metallic beasts rip them into shreds." Kelou said as he got out his guitar and began playing.
Cronos pulled out of a remote and pressed a button.
The robots eyes flashed red and many weapons merged out of their bodies and they were aiming at the three.
"WOAH, WOAH, WOAH! Seriously, we don't know anything about this Crown of Deity or the 5th Jewel!" Donald said.
"And even if we knew, we wouldn't let you guys take it. What would you guys want with them anyways? What is it so important that you guys showed up in our world and attacked my city?" Athena asked.
"Do you take us for fools!? Robots, annihilate these cretins!" Kross ordered.
The robots were ready to blast them.
"Oh God, this is it!" Donald said.
Athena tried to use her telekinesis but she looked too tired.
"Crap, I used too much of my power on these things!" Athena said.
Trixie looked pretty scared now.
"FIRE!" Kross yelled.
Suddenly, Jaden, two ISP agents and Cirak teleported in front of the three.
"Huh?" Athena asked.
Jaden got out of his weapon and shot at one robot and it fell on the ground.
"Take them down!" Jaden yelled.
The two ISP agents shot at two more robots with some high-tech weapons and they exploded.
The other 5 robots charged at them.
Cirak's fists glew red and punched two robots in their stomachs, his fists bursting through their spines. The robots exploded and when the smoke cleared out, Cirak looked unharmed.
One robot grabbed Cirak by his throat and Cirak grabbed the robot's arm and easily ripped it off before he punched it's freaking head off.
The robots shot at the ISP agents who simply dodged and one shot a robot in the head and it fell on the ground. Jaden shot the last robot and it blew up.
The three teenagers looked surprised by this.
"...Woah." Donald said.
"....That...was...awesome!" Trixie smiled.
"Phew." Athena sighed in relief.
Jaden looked at the Legion of Crows.
"Black Crow, we meet once again." Jaden said.
"Ah, Mr.Seigi, how awful it is to see you here. Are you here to prevent us from taking the final Jewel and of course, fail in vain as usual?" Black Crow asked.
"Not this time, Crow, we are taking your organization down once and for all." Jaden said.
"You are welcome to try, but we will take the Jewel, even if we have to take this entire universe as hostage." Black Crow said.
Athena stepped forward, looking at the Black Crow hologram.
"Try if you dare, but remember this: there are many heroes in this world and they will fight to their deaths to protect it! Like that archer for example. Are you and your Legion prepared to fight such powerful opponents?" Athena asked.
The Black Crow stared at Athena dead in the eye and Athena did the same. They were both quiet as they looked at each other. The Black Crow's eyes were glowing yellow as they were staring.
"...Hm. It seems they aren't playing dumb after all. They don't know anything about the Jewel or the Crown at all." The Black Crow said.
"I analyzed their quotes and this unit can confirm that they weren't lying at all." Micro said.
"If these moronic humans don't know anything about the Jewel, then we are simply wasting our breath here." Kross said.
"So what is this Crown of Deity that you guys are talking about, huh?" Trixie asked.
"Never you mind. We will find the Jewel one way or another. Of course, you three are free to help us to find them if you don't want to suffer our wrath." Black Crow said.
"Thanks, but no thanks. You can forget about showing us mercy." Athena said.
The Chameleon shapeshifted into the Black Crow himself.
"Such a shame. And here I thought we could become friends." The Black Crow-Chameleon said.
The Chameleon changed back to his original self and the Legion started to laugh as their holographic selves vanished, leaving only the pieces of the robots left behind.
"Blasted, they got away again!" Jaden said.
"Well, this sucks." Trixie said.
Athena wasn't so sure what to think.
Jaden turned to the three.
"Are you three-"
Suddenly, the two holographic versions of Veronica and Sin reappeared much to their surprise.
The ISP guys and the three turned around.
"...I believe we din't get the chance to introduce ourselves. My name is Veronica and this is my companion, Sin. Say hi to them, Sin." Veronica said.
Sin hissed in response.
Athena raised an eyebrow as she looked at the strange being known as Sin before she looked at Veronica.
"...You two...you two wouldn't have anything to do with what happened in the museum, huh?" Athena asked.
"Bingo. You are quite sharp." Veronica said.
"...What's your deal? Why are you helping the Legion?" Athena asked.
"Oh, nothing much. I require some extra resources from the Black Crow, and once he gets the crown, I'll have the power I need to accomplish my plan in my own dimension." Veronica said.
"What plan?" Athena asked.
"What's the fun in telling you instead of letting you figure this out for youself? Think of it as a challenge." Veronica said.
Athena just kept looking at Veronica before she looked at Sin, who's eyes were set on Athena.
"...Do you know a person called Omalley. As in Omalley Vixerello?" Athena asked.
"Omalley? Why, yes I do. He is alive in this universe?" Veronica asked.
"...Yes, he is." Athena said, confused.
"Huh, interesting. So, this is a pararel universe. A Alternate timeline in which Omalley is actually alive...and apparently succeeded in his goal." Veronica said.
Sin's fists were shaking in anger.
"Rrrrrr." Sin growled in anger.
"Calm yourself, Sin." Veronica said.
Athena looked shocked.
"...Pararel universe? So, you two are from a different alternate universe that is similar to ours?" Athena asked.
"In a way, yes. And I don't think I ever saw you in our timeline." Veronica said.
"Then...then...what happened to Omalley in your world?" Athena asked.
"Oh, he is dead. We took care of him for good." Veronica said.
Athena's eyes widened in shock.
Trixie turned to Athena.
"A, are you okay?" Trixie asked.
"Well, then, seems like we dropped the bomb on you. We will go now but we will most likely meet again. After all, I do want to explore more of this universe, to see how different it is from ours. Don't you agree, Sin?" Veronica asked.
"Yes, Veronica." Sin responded.
"We'll be off now. Toodles." Veronica smiled, with her eyes closed.
The two holographic versions of Sin and Veronica disappeared.
"...Okay, what was that about?" Trixie asked.
"...I...honestly don't know..." Athena said, looking shocked by what Veronica just said.
Jaden turned to the ISP guys and Cirak.
"Looks like we'll have to go back to base and try to wait for their next move once again. Let's go." Jaden said.
"Hey, wait a minute! You guys are after those Legion weirdos right? Maybe we can help you." Trixie said.
"Wait, us!?" Donald asked.
"I'm sorry, but civilians can't get involved in dangerous matters like these. I suggest you three go home and forget this happened." Jaden said.
Athena walked up to Jaden.
"Wait, you are Jaden, right?" Athena asked.
"...Why, yes, I am, but how do you know?" Jaden asked.
"My father told me about you. You showed up here once to arrest a innocent man but you let him off the hook. You showed up again to stop a creature from eating people's energies and helped my father stop Verita from taking everyone's emotions." Athena said.
"...Um...who is your father?" Jaden asked.
"Marick Vixerello." Athena said.
"...Oh, I remember him. He helped destroy the Morpher who was about to eat a entire planet...I won't forget that. So, you are his daughter?" Jaden asked.
"Yes. And I believe me and my friends can help you stop this Legion of Crows from taking the Jewel and use it for the Crown thing that they mentioned." Athena said.
Jaden puts his hand on his chin and thought about it.
"...You three look pretty young, but we could use some more fire power against the Legion so...I guess you three deserve to know about the situation." Jaden said.
Athena nodded.
Jaden turned to the ISP agents and Cirak.
"It's time we go back to the base." Jaden said.
Jaden pressed a button on his watch and a portal appeared, leading to the ISP base.
"Wow." Donald said.
"Follow us." Jaden said.
Jaden, the ISP guys and Cirak walked through the portal.
The three teens looked at each other but they decided to go through the portal and it closed.
They were now in the Intergalatic Space Police base in the middle of the Solar System.
"Welcome to the Intergalatic Space Police Station." Jaden said.
Trixie and Donald looked out the window and looked amazed.
"Holy Smokes, were in Space!" Donald said.
"...This...this isn't a dream is it! Pinch me and tell me this isn't a dream!" Trixie said.
Athena din't look that impressed.
"Follow me to my office and I'll tell what's going on." Jaden said.
The three turned to Jaden and they followed him.
They passed some ISP agents who were talking on their watches with other colleagues and some were testing out some weapons.
Donald looked around, looking amazed.
"So, what is the Intergalatic Space Police exactly?" Donald asked.
"It's a Organization that was formed right after the death of Hastur." Jaden said.
"The guy who took over worlds and was basically hilter if he had powers?" Trixie asked.
"The same. Our goal was to prevent incidents from happening ever again, aswell as other intergalactic threats that would bring forth the total annihilation of the entire multiverse. After dealing with a Organization lead by a Guardian from the 9th Dimension, I decided to recruit some powerful Omnipotents in case a threat like that would ever happen again. And, as you see, we are now dealing with a group made out of powerful people and we will need all the power we can get to stop them." Jaden said.
"This is so cool." Trixie said.
They walked past Vlad who was carrying some files with him and looked awkwardly at Athena and her friends.
Athena just looked back at Vlad before she turned back to Jaden.
Jaden and the three entered in his office.
"Nice room you got in here." Donald said.
Jaden sat down on his chair, at his desk.
"Indeed. Now then, I think it's time to explain what's going on. You see, the group called the 'Legion of Crows' is a criminal like organization, which was formed by a mysterious individual called the Black Crow. He is no ordinary person mind you, he has mental like powers which are a bit similar to the deceased Omnipotent of Mentality, though he is not as strong as she was." Jaden said.
"...My dad fought against her and almost lost if Max din't intervene." Athena said.
"Yes. He has recruited those 11 individuals from their universe, to help him find the 5 Jewels that will power up the Crown of Deity." Jaden said.
"Yeah, what the hell is this Crown of Deity anyways?" Trixie asked.
"According to the Egyptians from the 6st Dimension, the Crown of Deity is a powerful artifact made by the Omnipotent of Artifacts, Kamest. He originally made the Crown as a order from the Mad Pharaoh who was in charge at the time before the Omnipotent of Sand took over. Kamest, after making the Crown, refused to let the man gain all the power and commit many atrocities and so, he took the five Jewels of the Crown and spread them across dimensions, so then no one could get the Crown and use it for their own satisfactions. So far, they managed to find 4 of the Jewels in 4 Universes, and the fifth one is believed to be in your universe, somewhere hidden." Jaden said.
"So, what's gonna happen if the Black Crow gets the last Jewel and puts all the five Jewels back in the Crown?" Athena asked.
"If the 5 Jewels are brought back together, the Crown will be back at it's full potential once again. It is said that whoever wears the Crown, he or she will transcend from a mere mortal...into a ultimate God. Possibly more powerful than the Omnipotents themselves and other Gods. The person wearing the Crown would have the ability to do anything they ever wanted. The power to create, the power to destroy or even use it to put an end to existence itself." Jaden said.
"...That...does not sound good." Donald gulped.
"The Black Crow wants to become a God?" Athena asked.
"Precisely. If he wears the Crown, chances are, his mental powers will increase to a God like Level, and will possibly become more powerful than the Mental Omnipotent herself. If that happens, no one would stand a chance against him." Jaden said.
"Holy fuck." Trixie said.
"As far as his plan is once he becomes a God is unknown. But, whatever it is, it can't be good. We have to stop them from finding the last Jewel, no matter the cost." Jaden said.
"First, we have to find where the Jewel is and get it before the Legion is." Athena said.
"Indeed. Since you three are now involved in this, I hope I can get your full cooperation and help us stop the Legion from putting their grasps on the power of the Crown." Jaden said.
"Understood. If these guys want a fight, we'll give it to them." Athena said.
"I was afraid you were gonna say that." Donald sighed.
"Dude, this is gonna be awesome!" Trixie said.
Jaden opened his desk and brought out three communicators and handed each of them to Athena, Trixie and Donald.
"We will communicate with you through these communicators. Once we know what the Legion's next move will be or find out where the Jewel is, we will announce you through these communicators and you will show up to stop them. You will sometimes receive help from our agents aswell. We will all work together to stop the Legion." Jaden said.
"Huh." Donald said, looking at his communicator.
"Nice." Trixie smiled.
Athena put hers in her pocket.
"I think we got it." Athena said.
"Okay. Anymore questions?" Jaden asked.
The three shook their head off.
"Alright then. I'll teleport you three back to your home universe. Thank you for your cooperation and when the Legion strikes, we will contact you." Jaden said.
"Got it." Athena nodded.
Jaden pressed a button on his watch and Athena, Trixie and Donald were teleported out of the base and back to their home universe.
"...Let's hope we actually we have a chance." Jaden sighed.
Meanwhile, back on Earth.
The three were back at the Park.
"....So, that happened." Donald said.
"....Holy shit, that was cool! I mean, this amazing! Us three, working with some secret agents in fighting against a group of bad guys to save the entire world! I mean, dude, this is big! Wait till mom hears this, she won't believe any of this!" Trixie said, looking excited.
"...I guess it's cool." Donald shrugged.
Athena looked a bit worried before she turned to Trixie and Donald.
"...Honestly I'm not sure. Maybe it's for the best that you guys don't get involved. These guys sound like they mean business and they won't spare us because we are young. I don't want to risk you guys getting hurt." Athena said.
"Athena, we got involved in this the moment we saw you and your dad in the museum. Beside, it's not like those guys will let us off the hook after we beat up their lizard soldiers. I mean, that lizard guy made it pretty clear." Trixie said.
"Yeah. And friends do stick to each other no matter what." Donald said.
"...I don't know...I'm not sure." Athena said.
"We are not kids anymore, Athena, we can take care of ourselves. Besides, after saving our asses a couple of times now, it wouldn't be fair if we din't return the favor. Those Crow guys won't put a finger on you with us around." Trixie said.
"Basically, what Trixie said. I mean, I don't like this at all, but there is no way we are gonna let you do this by yourself. You will need some help." Donald said.
Athena looked at Trixie and Donald and sighed.
"...I don't see myself winning this argument so...fine, you guys can participate in the fight against the Legion." Athena said.
"That's what I wanted to hear! Those Legion losers won't stand a chance against us!" Trixie smiled.
"Yup." Donald said.
"I agree. If my dad and his students could save the world many times, then so can we." Athena smiled.
"Yeah...so, what time is it?" Trixie asked.
Donald looked at his watch.
"It's...5:46. Huh...we should probably go home now." Donald said.
"Yeah...I have a lot to tell my parents and little brother. And we also have school. By the way, we can't tell anyone at school about this at all. This has to be kept only between us." Athena said.
"Already got it. Though, if everyone else knew about this, we would be way cooler than Zack." Trixie said.
"Maybe, but we can't let anyone else know about this, no matter what. Okay?" Athena asked.
"I think we got it." Donald said.
"Good. Let's go." Athena said.
The trio walked out of the park.
At night, at Athena's house.
In her room, Athena was currently petting Leon, while thinking about all the crazy stuff that happened today.
Someone knocked at her door.
"Enter." Athena said.
Marick entered in the room.
"Hi, Athena." Marick said.
"Hi, dad...So, I'm sure you heard the news from your Prophet's Eye." Athena said.
"Indeed I did. Seems like you and your friends are now currently the new heroes of the new generations, atleast till others will follow suit like Amell and possibly his friends aswell." Marick said.
"...Yeah, maybe...Dad, do you think I can handle this?" Athena asked.
Marick sat next to Athena.
"Well, considering our family's history, we managed to kill a God of Darkness, defeat a Immortal Man, a Space hilter, a madman obsessed with power and his plant creatures with two personalities, a Mafia, Others, a cult, another God, a Guardian and her friends and a energy absorbing Alien...yes, I believe you can handle this, Athena. It's unknown wether you or Amell have the same power as I to Evolve, but with or without that, you can beat them. As long as you're not afraid, you can do anything." Marick said.
"...Thanks dad." Athena smiled.
Marick nodded.
"Beside, you won't be alone. You will have Donald and Trixie who might possibly get powers too, Jaden and his friends, and of course..." Marick said.
He turned to Leon.
"Your partner, Leon." Marick said.
"Leon?" Athena asked.
"Yes. Ark is both my friend and partner, just like how Leon is your friend. He will help you in your fight against the Legion of Crows. In a way, he'll watch your back and you'll watch his." Marick said.
Athena looked at Leon.
"...So, I can bring him with me to these missions involving the Legion?" Athena asked.
"Indeed you can. You won't have to worry about anyone else seeing you with Leon as long as you will fight the Legion somewhere where no one else will see you. So, you won't have to worry about that." Marick said.
"Okay." Athena said.
Marick got up and was walking towards the door till he stopped and turned back to Athena.
"Also, Athena...I know that you are capable of taking care of yourself...don't forget...you can always ask me to help you once in awhile. Not very often of course, but there is no shame in asking your father in helping you in your fights." Marick said.
Athena nodded.
"Sure, I'll just send you a mind message when I need help. I'll promise I won't let the Legion find the Jewel and won't let them win. I'll do everything I can to make you proud." Athena said.
"...You already made me proud, Athena." Marick smiled.
Athena just smiled back.
"Thanks dad." Athena said.
"No problem. Well, goodnight." Marick said, walking out of the room and closing the door.
Athena looked back at Leon.
"...This will be a tough fight to win, Leon. But I'm sure we can do this. Me, you, Donald and Trixie, we have this in the bag." Athena said.
Leon nodded.
Athena looked out the window.
"..I still wonder what's up with those two...Veronica and Sin...and why does Sin...look a bit like my grandpa...and what did they mean about killing him...what happened to him in their alternate universe...and who is this Black Crow..." Athena asked herself.
Meanwhile, in the Citadel of the Legion of Crows.
It cuts to a large room where the Black Crow was. He was sitting on a couch and drinking tea and in front of him was the fireplace and a table with the incomplete Crown of Deity on it. The walls were made out of stone and there was a bookshelf filled with books, most of them seemed to be about other universes but there was one empty shelf with a snowglobe on it and inside the globe was a familiar looking village and it was snowing. It wasn't Akarusa/Arashi's village.
The Black Crow was looking out the window, mostly staring at the large moon.
There was a knock at the door.
"Come in." The Black Crow said.
Cronos entered in the room.
"Black Crow, I believe you will be happy to know that we may have found the location of where the 5th Jewel could be on Earth. We will soon send our men to look for it and bring it back here." Cronos said.
"Thank you, Doctor Cronos." Black Crow said, he seemed to be thinking deeply about something.
"...Is there a problem?" Cronos asked.
"No. You are free to go now." Black Crow said.
Cronos just nodded before he walked out of the room and closed the door.
"...That girl...When I looked in her eyes...she certainly reminded me of a person who was with those who stopped my plans a long time ago." Black Crow said.
The Black Crow looked at the snowglobe inside the bookshelf.
"That person and those four friends of his...who are the reason why I'm here." The Black Crow said.

THE ATHENA SAGA
CHAPTER 4 BURNING VILLAGE
A couple of days later. At Athena's high school. It was break and Athena, Donald and Trixie were sitting on the bench. "...So...Jaden hasn't called us yet." Donald said. "Maybe they haven't found the Jewel yet." Athena said. "Or those Legion douches haven't started any shit yet." Trixie said. "That too." Athena said. "I wonder what they are up to." Donald said. "Whatever it is, I can't wait to kick their asses." Trixie said. "We have to be careful about this, Trixie. Those Legion guys seem pretty tough and they will annihilate us without a second thought." Athena said. "Big deal, your family fought against guys who were more powerful than them." Trixie said. "Probably, but we shouldn't undermestimate these guys either. I don't have both my mom and dad's powers like my dad does from my grandparents. And I get tired immediately after using my telekinesis. We have to be careful when fighting them...especially those two, Veronica and Sin." Athena said. "Oh, yeah, those two. They give me the creeps." Donald shuddered. "Yeah, me too. That girl is freaky as hell." Trixie said. "Yeah." Athena, still thinking about what Veronica said the last time they met. The school bell rang. "Well, back to class." Donald said. "Oh, man. I hope something big happens today." Trixie sighed. Athena, Trixie and Donald got up and walked into the building. Meanwhile, in the Citadel of the Legion. In another room, Micro was sitting in front of a monitor and there were some wires attached to his head. He was speaking with the Chameleon in the monitor. "Are you certain that the Jewel is in there?" Micro asked. The Chameleon shapeshifted into Micro. "Indeed. This village is known to hold valuable relics and trinkets. And they happen to have a sort of a museum aswell. There is a chance that the Jewel could be there." Micro-Chameleon said. "Information noted. Set up the explosives." Micro said. Chameleon changed back to his normal form and nodded. Micro pressed a button and the monitor changed to a army of the robots who attacked Donald, Trixie and Athena. "Crusher bots, prepare for the Invasion." Micro said, his eye flashing red. Meanwhile, back at high school. The classes were over and Athena, Donald and Trixie were outside their high school. "Well, another day done." Donald said. "Man, is Jaden ever gonna call us? I want to do something exciting than listen to another rambling from Mr.Thomson." Trixie said. "Probably because nothing is actually happening yet." Athena said. "Man, this sucks. What is this taking those Legion so long to do something?" Trixie asked. "How should we know? Why don't you ask them yourself." Donald asked. "Maybe, I would...if I had their freakin address." Trixie said. "Guys, just stop it-" Suddenly, some beeping noises were heard much to their surprise. They looked in their pockets and pulled out their ISP communicators which were beeping. "It's our communicators." Donald said. "Finally!" Trixie said. "Let's go somewhere where no one can see us." Athena said. "Right." Donald nodded. Athena, Trixie and Donald walked to a tree which was far from their high school and answered their communicators. "Jaden, what's up?" Athena asked. "Ah, good, you responded. I'll teleport you three to the ISP base." Jaden said. "Okay." Athena nodded. Athena, Trixie and Donald were teleported out of there. They reappeared at the ISP base, in Jaden's office. Jaden was sitting at his desk, waiting for them. "You're here." Jaden said. "So, what's the problem?" Donald asked. "Nothing just yet. The reason I called is for a little practice you see." Jaden said. "Practice?" Trixie asked. "The Legion of Crows is formed out of 12 powerful people. You two need to be as prepared and strong as you never been before if you have any chances of surviving any fights against them. Miss Athena, I'm aware that you are Mr.Vixerello's daughter, but that doesn't make you an exception in this. And your friends here don't have any weapons and are defenseless. We need to change that." Jaden said. "We're gonna get some cool weapons to defend ourselves? Nice." Trixie said. "As long as it's not a gun, I'm cool with this." Donald said. "You're gonna get your weapons from the Weapons room. I'll take you there." Jaden said. Jaden, Athena, Trixie and Donald walked out of the office and went to the weapons room. They entered inside and Jaden was looking around for someone. "Lyra, we have some new visitors. Lyra? Lyra...LYRA!" Jaden shouted. Lyra flew in the room, wearing a jetpack, right past the four. "AAAAAAAAH!" Lyra shouted. Lyra crashed into the wall. Jaden facepalmed while the other three just stared. Lyra got up and mock saluted. "Chief Weapons Lyra reporting for Duty!...Teehee!" Lyra said. "...Who is this?" Donald asked. "And why doesn't she have a nose?" Trixie asked. "This is Lyra, our Weapons maker. She is an expert at building some powerful high-tech weapons that will prove useful in our attempts at defending the Universe from Evil. She is Half-Neonytian and Half-....um...whatever her father is." Jaden said. "....Oh, yeah, your dad is Tobi, right?" Athena asked. "Yup, that's right!...Hey, aren't you that Omalley's son's daughter?" Lyra asked. "Yeah, I am." Athena nodded. "Nice to meet you! And those two are your friends?" Lyra asked. "Yeah, they're Donald and Trixie. We are here so then they can get some weapons to defend themselves." Athena said. "Okay! Pick up your weapon of choice from that table there!" Lyra said, gesturing at the table with weapons it. Donald and Trixie walked up to the table and looked at the weapons. There were some guns, blades, sharp objects and other devices. Trixie randomly picked up a gun. "What does this do?" Trixie asked. "It turns people into animals!" Lyra said. Trixie raised an eyebrow before she aimed it at Jaden, shot him and turned him into a hedgehog. "...Wow. It works." Trixie said. "...Could you turn me back now, please?" Jaden aske.d Trixie shrugged as she shot Jaden again and he turned back to normal. He looked annoyed. Donald looked at every weapon and spotted a giant metallic hammer. "Huh, this looks cool." Donald said. Donald attempted to pick the giant hammer...and he collapsed on the ground, along with the hammer. Donald slowly got up and lifted the hammer with lot of effort. "Geez, this is heavy as hell!" Donald said. "Yeah, it's hard to pick it up at first but you'll get used to it." Lyra said. "I hope so." Donald sighed. Trixie just looked at the weapons and picked up a lance. "Heh. This is nice." Trixie said. She began swinging the Lance around. "Ha! With this, those Legion fuckers will think twice about messing with Trixie!" Trixie said. "Just try not to accidently stab someone in the shoulder with that thing." Jaden said. "No promises." Trixie said. Jaden turned to Athena. "I suppose you don't need a weapon." Jaden asked. "I have a gun...a magic one, but it's a weapon nonetheless." Athena said. "Right. Well, you got your weapons, now it's time to learn how to use them in battle and prepare for a possible encounter with a Legion member." Jaden said. "Are you gonna teach us?" Donald asked. "Not me. That job is up to General Cirak, the Omnipotent of War." Jaden said. "Omni of War? Who is he, Chuck Norris?" Trixie asked. "Go in the training area and see him for yourselves to make up your first impressions of him." Jaden said. "I'm sure he won't be that bad, right?" Athena asked. A few moments later, in the training area. Athena, Trixie and Donald were currently standing in front of Cirak, who din't seem to pleased with them at all. "I put in an order to the ISP to send me a shitload of badasses and pillage-hungry murder machines and instead all I got was you cupcake penis-clowns and a side order of fuck nuggets! I can tell at a glance at least 3% of you are cock-suckers who've never been told to believe in themselves! I'm gonna shove my boots so far and fast up your assholes it'll trigger a geological event! You all reek of poverty and animal abuse! You shit stains are a collective masterpiece of failure. You pussy-gobblins circle-jerk each other to exhaustion every night! You signed up to pound the Legion of Crows and only to cry like sissies later when you will see that they will be the ones to do the pounding! Your sensitive pussies cried so many tears you could float away a river of douche-cannoes! You glitter-town, dick-wrangling, fairy-tinkled, fuck-nuggets are gonna get your collective teeth cavities stretched so far apart you'll think your getting double-fisted by the Omnipotent of Will herself! I will reorganize the failure that Is all your lives! I will fuck-start your SOULS! I'll make you mongoloid, rock-chomping, thunder-cunts scream harder than your mothers while they were giving birth to you maggots! As for you boy, I'm gonna chop off your shriveled balls, put em where your eyes should be, put a sombrero on your head, and beat you like a piñata! I'll intimidate the living hell out of you that you'll start shitting out planets you'll actually give the Neonytians places to stay at! But fear not! Because in short time I will turn you penis-monarchs into fuck masters of galactic destruction! " Cirak ranted. Athena, Donald and Trixie just stood there and slowly looked at each other. "Now then, let's get to the introductions! You first, Maggot! What's your name?" Cirak asked Athena. "...I'm Athena Vixerello, sir-" "Oh, no, no, no, fuck that, I don't want to hear ANYTHING related to that sociopathic CUNT, who killed her faithful comrades and made all Omnipotents look like pieces of shit! From now on, your name is Private Brown! Do you have a problem with that, Private Brown?" Cirak asked. "Yes, I do-" "GOOD! What about you, horse face?" Cirak asked Donald. "...I'm...Donald, sir-" "FUCK THAT NAME! Every time I think of the name 'Donald', I only think of that fucking cartoon Duck or that goddamn politician! Your name is Private Dough!" Cirak said. "...I don't like that name, sir." Donald said. Cirak got in Donald's face. "Who said you had to like it? Do you have problems, Private Dough?" Cirak asked. ".....No sir." Donald said with a high pitched voice. "Now, your turn, Maggot." Cirak told Trixie. "I'm Trixie...sir." Trixie shrugged. "Trixie? That sounds like a whore's name. Your name will be Private Pig Tails!" Cirak said. "Excuse me, sir, but maybe you should fucking chill!" Trixie said. "I'LL CHILL WHEN I'M DEAD, PRIVATE! DO YOU WISH ME TO BE DEAD, PRIVATE!?" Cirak asked. "No, that's not what I-" "DROP AND GIVE ME 20! NOW!" Cirak yelled. Trixie sighed and began to do push ups. "Now then, you assclowns are gonna follow everything I say and if you do that, your chances at fucking up the Black Crow's plans will be high! We shall start your training session!" Cirak said. Cirak pointed at a obstacle course which was filled lasers, sharp swords, guns and other dangers. The three's eyes widened. "...Sir, I'm not so sure about this." Athena said. "Oh, I see, you three maggots need some motivation, is that it? Well, let me help you out with some music then!" Cirak said. Cirak brought out a cassette player and pressed a button. It plays the training montage song from the Second Omnipotent Tournament. "Is that enough motivation for you, maggots? NOW GET YOUR PUNY ASSES TO THE TRAINING OBSTACLES, I WANT TO SEE YOU FUCK EAGLES SWEAT" Cirak yelled. "Oh God." Athena sighed. Meanwhile, at Akarusa/Arashi's village, Kodama. It was night. Everyone was basically minding their business, some kids were playing, others were buying some stuff from the shops and other activities. The Chameleon, who was disguised as a villager was currently putting the last explosive to place, next to a outhouse. He puts his hand on a earpiece. "The explosives had been set up. It's your turn now." The villager-Chameleon said. It cuts to Micro in his control room. "Confirmed. The Crusher bots will arrive the moment you press the detonator." Micro said. Micro switched to the robots. "Crusher bots, it is time to start the operation: Search and Destroy." Micro said. It cuts back to the Chameleon who changed back to his normal self and pulled a detonator from his pocket. He pressed the button. It cuts to Newrum City and... BOOM! A large explosion was heard that caught most of the civilians's attention. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?" A civilian asked. "IT SOUNDS LIKE IT CAME FROM THAT VILLAGE!" Another civilian said. Back at the ISP base. Athena, Trixie and Donald had passed the obstacle course and they looked absolutely tired. "Congratz, you actually survived the obstacle course. You jungle-ass vultures maybe aren't so worthless after all. Maybe we do have a chance." Cirak said. "Gee, thanks...sir." Trixie said. "Now, let's start the next session." Cirak said. "Oh, God, not another session!" Donald cried. Cirak's phone started ringing. He picked it up and answered. "Yeah? Huh, really? Fine. Yeah, I'll get their asses to your office right this moment now." Cirak said, closing the phone. He turned to the three. "You asswipes are lucky. Jaden wants to see you three in his office now." Cirak said. "Thank God." Trixie said. "MOVE, MAGGOTS!" Cirak yelled. Athena, Trixie and Donald immediately ran out of there as fast as the wind. They entered in Jaden's office. "Alright, you're here." Jaden asked. "What's up?" Trixie asked. "We received report that in your world, a fire erupted in a village located in a town called Newrum State City." Jaden said. "A FIRE!?" Athena asked, looking shocked. "Yes. There were some explosives around the place and when they went off, the fire started. We believe that this is the doing of the Legion of Crows. They most likely set the village ablaze to cover their search for the Jewel." Jaden said. "...That's...that's just terrible!" Donald said. "Those fuckers are really asking for it this time!" Trixie said. "Getting the villagers out of there is a priority. After you get them out, find the Legion of Crows and strike them down!" Jaden said. "Got it!" Athena said. "Understood!" Donald said. "Finally, I'll get to kick some ass!" Trixie said. "...Oh wait, I forgot about Leon! He could help us." Athena said. Athena decided to send a mind message to Marick. "...Hey, dad, if you hear this, could you have Ark open a portal for Leon-" Suddenly, Leon was right next to Athena much to her surprise. "...Well, that was fast." Athena said. A note appeared in Donald's hand and he read it. "Actually, I put Leon there next to you, not your dad. Yours truly, Fawn. " Donald read. "...Of course." Jaden said. Athena smiled at Leon. "Are you ready for this, Leon?" Athena asked. Leon nodded. "Alright, Jaden, take us to the village." Athena said. Jaden nodded as he pressed a button and Athena, Donald, Trixie and Leon were teleported out of there. It cuts to Kodama, which was now on fire. Most of the houses and shops were on fire and some were destroyed by the explosives. A bell was ringing all over the town and every villager was running for their lives. A older looking Ryo and Angel were leading the villagers out of there while Hikari was helping the ones who got injured. "THIS WAY, HURRY!" Ryo shouted. Lacey was currently escorting the younger children, while carrying some of them in her arms. A younger man with short yellow hair with blue eyes, with a brown cowl, a long-sleeved black shirt and blue pocketed pants was lifting some debry off a villager and helped him get up. "Don't worry, you're safe now!" The young man said. The villager nodded before he ran after the crowd. The young man turned to see a little kid in the distance who looked scared. "HEY, DON'T STAND THERE, YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THE REST!" The young man called out. The kid who looked nervous nodded before she tried to ran to the young man till she fell. A part of a house's walls broke into pieces and were about to crush the little kid. "AAAAAH!" The kid screamed. "NO!" The young man yelled. The kid closed her eyes...and when she reopened them, the wall pieces were currently floating. Athena and Leon were right next to the kid. Athena was in her Shadow Girl costume. "Huh?" The kid asked. Athena threw the pieces away and picked up the kid and brought her to the young man. "Take her out of here!" Athena said. The young man looked confused by by her sudden appearance but nodded and took the little girl and ran to where Lacey went to. Most of the villagers had been escorted out of the burning village and almost no one was left there. Athena looked around, trying to spot any villagers left. "Geez, they really went to town on this place." Athena said. Donald ran up to Athena. "I managed to find some villagers left and helped them evacuate." Donald said. "Good." Athena said. Trixie ran to them aswell. "There isn't anyone left here, either!" Trixie said. Athena nodded. "Okay, then there is only one thing left to do..." Athena said. She looked intently at a burning house behind her and approached it. "COME ON, OUT! DON'T THINK OF RUNNING NOW!" Athena shouted. The door fell on the ground and four robots stepped out, aiming their weapons at the three. "These rust buckets again!?" Trixie asked. "I should of known. Okay, let's take these things down!" Athena said. "Right!" Donald said. The robots shot at the three. The three dodged their attacks and Athena shot a plasma bolt at one of their heads and when it hits a robot, he fell on the ground. Donald ran up to a robot and lifted his giant hammer and smashed it into the robot's head, breaking it in pieces. Trixie just stabbed a robot in it's eye with the lance. "there, that hurts like a bitch, doesn't it!?" Trixie asked. The last robot out of the four jumped behind Trixie and was about to stab her till suddenly, a ghost hand smacked the robot in the face, knocking it in the wall. The three saw that and they turned around and saw the ghost hand coming from the young man with yellow hair. "Who's this guy?" Donald asked. "...I think he may be the son of two of my dad's students." Athena said. The young man ran to the three. "Are those things the ones behind the attack on the village?" The young man asked. "They are just the minions. The ones behind this must be somewhere close." Athena said. "Okay then. I'll help you guys take these things down and catch the bastards who caused this. My name is Akihiko by the way." Akihiko said. "I'm Athena Vixerello. These are my friends Donald, Trixie and Leon." Athena said. "...Athena Vixerello? Are you the teacher's daughter? The one who trained mom and dad?" Akihiko asked. "Yeah, I am. I'm here to help save the village and stop the ones who caused the fire." Akihiko said. "Okay. If there are more of those things around, we should probably split up and smash them." Akihiko said. "Cool, but how do we put out the fire?" Trixie asked. "There are some water tanks on top of some houses. You can bust them open and the water will cleanse out the fire." Akihiko said. Donald looked around and spotted a tank on top of a house nearby. "It's a start." Donald said. "So, how do we find the rest of these trash heaps?" Trixie asked. "I'll try to use my psychic powers to see where the rest could be." Athena said. Athena's eyes glew purple and tried to see where the rest of the robots were. Some robots were currently South of the village. Other group of robots were at the East of the Village. Another group was at West. And another group was at the North of the village. Most of them were in the museum place that was seen during Gekez and Gafust's visit. Athena's eyes stopped glowing. "Okay. Most of the robots are spread around in the Village. In North, South, East and West. In North, they are in a small museum. They must think that the Jewel is there. We should split to handle the groups. Me and Leon will go to the North." Athena said. "Good, I'll go South." Akihiko said. "I'll take the East side of the place." Donald said. "Well, that leaves me with the East so...sure, let's do this." Trixie shrugged. "Okay, let's go!" Athena said. The four split up. Athena got on Leon. "Let's go, Leon!" Athena said. Leon roared in response as he ran to the North. Unfortnately, their path was blocked with fire. Leon immediately stopped as Athena got off him and looked around for a water tank. "There must be a water tank somewhere around...AHA, THAT'S IT!" Athena yelled. She pointed at a house with a water tank nearby. "Stay here, Leon!" Athena said. Athena ran to the house, climbed on some boxes and got the roof. She got out her gun and shot a beam out of it, hitting the tank. Water poured out of the tank and landed on the fire, and the fire vanished. Athena landed on the ground and got on Leon. "Alright, let's head to the museum." Athena said. Leon nodded as he ran off. With Donald, he arrived at East of the village. He spotted some robots who were nearby, looking for the Jewel. He gulped a bit before he ran to the robotic beings with the hammer. "TAKE THIS!" Donald yelled out. Donald smashed one robot in the face before he smashed the other one aswell. The other robots turned around and fire at Donald. Donald immediately dodged those hits before he ran to the robots and began smashing them to pieces. "Not so tough, huh?...Okay, I think I got a bit carried away there." Donald said. Donald looked around and spotted another water tank on a house but couldn't find a way to get up there. He looked at the Hammer. "...Hm...maybe..." Donald said. Donald then began to swing around with the Hammer, before using all his strength to throw the hammer at the Water Tank. The hammer hits the tank and water bursted out of the tank and into the fire. The Hammer landed on the ground. Donald looked a bit dizzy from swinging the hammer very fast. "Note to self: never do that again." Donald said, before picking up the hammer. Trixie was already on a rooftop near a water tank and the house was circled with robots. "COME AND GET A PIECE OF ME, TOASTER HEADS!" Trixie yelled out. Trixie stabbed the water tank with her lance and water bursted out of the tank and landed on the robots. The water affected their circuits and they got fried. The robots landed on the ground as a result. "Yeah, baby, that's how we do it!" Trixie said. Meanwhile, with Akihiko. He was currently facing against another group of robots and had a sword with him. He looked at his sword and covered it in dark flames. Two robots charged at him and Akihiko immediately dodged and slashed the two robots in half. Two other robots shot at Akihiko but he dodged the shoots and shot two ghost hands at the robots and punched them in their faces. "No one attacks my village and gets away with it!" Akihiko shouted. The Chameleon was hiding next to a house, looking at Akihiko. His eyes suddenly flashed, getting a good image of Akihiko and his fighting style in his mind. The Chameleon smiled as he shapeshifted into Akihiko and ran off. Athena and Leon arrived at the museum place. Athena got off Leon and took out her gun and turned to Leon. "Stand close to me, buddy." Athena said. Leon nodded as Athena approached the museum. The robots were inside, looking for the Jewel. They haven't managed to find it so far. Athena kicked the door out and shot a beam at the robots. One robot got hit by the beam and exploded. The other robots turned their attention to Athena and stretched out their arms towards her. Leon jumped and grabbed one of the arms with his teeth and ripped it out. Athena dodged the other arms and shot two plasma bolts at two robots, hitting them. The other robots started shooting at Athena and Athena charged towards them while dodging the hits. She used her telekinesis to lift one robot and smashed into the other robot. Leon just jumped on one of the robots and ripped it's head off with his teeth before spitting it out and lunged at the other robots. Athena shot at most of the robots and each of them blew up. There were no robots left. "We did it. I don't think Jewel is around here, though." Athena said. She turned to Leon. "We should go back to the others." Athena said. Leon nodded. Akihiko entered in the museum. "Oh, you're okay. That's good. You took care of the robots?" Akihiko asked, with a monotone voice. Athena turned around and nodded. "Yeah, I did. You?" Athena asked. "Yeah. The others probably took care of the other robots aswell. Let's get out of here and find out where the Legion is hiding." Athena said. Athena walked past Akihiko...who looked a bit murderous. "...That...won't be necessary." Akihiko said. Athena stopped. "...What?" Athena asked. Akihiko suddenly shot a beam of flames at Athena. Athena immediately ducked and the flames only hit the ground. She got up and immediately looked at Akihko. "...You...you're not Akihiko, are you?" Athena asked. 'Akihiko' got out of his sword and attempted to stab Athena. Athena dodged the stab and shot plasma bolts at Akihiko. Akihiko dodged and summoned some ghost fists and they hit Athena, sending her flying out of the museum place. Leon ran towards Athena who slowly got up and grabbed her head in pain. "Not that hurt." Athena said. Donald, Trixie and Akihiko showed up. "Wow, what happened to you?" Trixie asked. "Ask 'him' that." Athena said, pointing at the fake Akihiko. The real Akihiko looked ahead and saw the fake Akihiko stepping out of the museum and looked reasonably confused. "What the!?...Is that...me?" Akihiko asked. "I think he is one of the Legion members." Athena said, got up. "Good, I have been looking forward to a smackdown." Trixie said. "Is he some sort of a shapeshifter?" Donald asked. "Maybe, but we have to take him down nonetheless." Athena said. "GET HIM!" Trixie said. The four charged at the fake Akihiko. The fake Akihiko jumped and landed behind them and used two ghost hands which smacked into Donald and Trixie, knocking them on the ground. Athena attempted to punch the fake Akihiko but he grabbed her fist and threw her aside. Leon lunged towards him but the fake grabbed him by his tail and threw him into Athena. The real Akihiko charged towards the fake, attempting to stab him with his sword and the fake blocked it with his own sword. "Your quite good for someone who is wearing my face and using my fighting style. But a phony like yourself can never beat the original!" Akihiko said. Akihiko covered his sword in dark flames and hits the fake's sword, shattering it. Akihiko then stabbed the fake in the stomach and covered him in flames. The fake immediately looked around and spotted a nearby water tank. He blasted the tank with dark flames and the fake got covered in water, putting out the flames. Athena and her friends ran up to Akihiko. "Nice one, but it looks like he isn't finished just yet." Athena said. The fake suddenly changed into Lacey and suddenly vanished. Fake Lacey appeared behind Akihiko and stabbed him in the back. "AH!" Akihiko yelled out in pain. Fake Lacey vanished. "What the hell!?" Trixie asked. "He turned into a woman and began teleporting!" Donald said. "This is not good." Athena said. She carefully looked at her surroundings, waiting for the fake show up again. The fake teleported right next to Donald and was about to chop his head off. Athena turned around and jumped towards Fake Lacey, kicking her in the face. Trixie ran to Fake Lacey and stabbed her in the stomach with her Lance. "UGH!" Fake Lacey yelled. Trixie pulled the Lance out of Fake Lacey before kicking her right in her stomach wound. Fake Lacey stepped back as she changed back into the Chameleon. "I don't recognize that one...is that his true form?" Akihiko asked. "Yup, definitely a member of the Legion. I saw him with the rest of his buddies when we first met them." Athena said, glaring at the Chameleon. The Chameleon simply stared at Athena and Akihiko while Donald and Trixie were next to his back, aiming their weapons at his head. "Now, why did you attack the village?" Akihiko asked. The Chameleon din't respond. "Fess up, already!" Trixie said. The Chameleon slowly puts his hand on his red laser sword before pulling it out and attempted to slash at Donald and Trixie who jumped back. "WOAH!" Donald yelled. The Chameleon pushed Athena and Akihiko out of the way, running off. "Are you kidding me!?" Athena asked. "We can't let him escape!" Akihiko said. The four chased after the Chameleon. The Chameleon looked back to see the four following him and frowned, looking annoyed. He ran past the entrance of the village. "Oh no you don't!" Athena said. She used her telekinesis and lifted the Chameleon off the ground, much to his surprise. Athena slammed the Chameleon against the tree. Athena approached the Chameleon, not letting go off him. "We finally got you! There is no escape for you now!" Athena said. The three were right behind Athena. Donald looked at the sky and looked surprised. "LOOK!" Donald said, pointing at the sky. "What?" Trixie asked. There was a ship in the sky, piloted by Ate. Ate looked down at them, looking disgusted by their presence. "Seems like the Chameleon could use some help." Ate said. The ship's door opened and Micro jumped out of the ship and was heading straight towards the ground. The massive robot landed right in front of Athena, causing the ground to shake and Athena and her friends got knocked to the ground. "Holy shit!" Donald said. Micro looked down at the four humans in front of him, beginning to analyze them while the Chameleon got up. "That is one tall motherfucker." Trixie said. "Well, the bigger they are, the harder they fall." Akihiko said. "You four are standing in the way of our mission. Cease and Desist at once. Resistence is useless." Micro said. Athena looked intently at Micro. "Why did you attack the village? Why put those people in harm's way?" Athena asked. "We received intel that this Area could be the location of the 5th Jewel of the Crown of Deity. And so, we put explosives around the location to scare off the inhabitants so they wouldn't get in the way. Do you disagree with this unit's methods?" Micro asked. "These are innocent people who never did anything wrong to you! You should leave them out of this!" Athena yelled. The Chameleon changed into Trixie. "There are no people left to leave out." Trixie-Chameleon smiled. Trixie glared at the Chameleon. "Don't say while using my face, you freak!" Trixie said. Micro took a step forward, the ground cracking beneath his feet, going towards the four warriors. The Chameleon changed into a bird and flew to the ship and got in, changing back to his normal self and approached Ate. Ate turned to him. "Seems they gave you quite a fight. Now, let's let Micro play with them for awhile." Ate smiled. The Chameleon nodded as Ate drove the ship away and disappeared in the distance. The four fighters had their weapons prepared as they were facing the massive being. "So, how do we take this big guy out?" Donald asked. "We attack him all at once. Come on, this guy can't be that hard to beat, let's go!" Trixie said. Trixie and Donald charged towards Micro and began hitting his legs with their weapons. Their attacks din't make a scratch on him at all. Micro simply looked down at them, not looking phased at all. He picked them up with his clawed hand and lifted them to his face. "You two are in the way. Begone." Micro said. Micro then threw Donald and Trixie in the air, sending them flying. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Donald and Trixie yelled. From this distance, they looked two shooting stars. "DONALD, TRIXIE!" Athena yelled out. Micro approached Athena and Akihiko. "Now your fight is with this unit." Micro said. "Why are you doing this? Why are you helping the Legion? Cause last time I checked, robots do not have desires. They are machines." Athena said. "That is the motive why I joined. Humans without emotions are compared to machines, saying that machines do not have souls nor emotions. I cannot feel anything. This unit desires to feel the same way a human does. I want to understand to emotions, I want to feel them. I want to understand Joy, I want to understand Hate, I want to understand Sadness, I want to understand Love, I want...to have a heart. By completing the Crown of Deity, the Black Crow will have the power to bestow upon me the power to feel emotions. Then, I will finally be able to relate to humans and tell the difference between good and wrong." Micro said. "But by doing that, you are hurting innocent people who don't have anything to do with your goal. Maybe we could help you get what you desire, the Black Crow will most likely turn against you." Athena said. "It is unlikely that your inferior human intellect has anything to offer this unit. I will not be swayed. This unit will do anything to get what it desires and nothing will stop me." Micro said. "Looks like we have no choice but to fight." Akihiko said. "Yeah. Now, let's show the Legion what we are made of!" Athena said. Athena shot plasma bolts at Micro while Akihiko covered him in dark flames. None of these attacks seems to damage or inflict any sort of pain on Micro. He lifted his giant arms and attempted to crush Athena and Akihiko. They jumped out of the way and Micro hits the ground instead. He shoots lasers out of his red eye and Athena And Akihiko dodged. Leon charged towards Micro and attempted to bite him in his leg. When he did, Leon felt immense pain and backed away, whimpering in pain. Micro just kept shooting lasers, destroying some houses nearby. Athena attempted to lift the giant robot with her power. but he was too big for her lift. "U-ugh, he is way too heavy!" Athena said. She dropped Micro and he stomped the ground and Athena was knocked on the ground. Akihiko launched some ghost hands at Micro, punching him in the face. Micro stepped back a bit till he shooted a laser at Akihiko, hitting him. Athena shot a beam from her gun at Micro and he deflected it with his hand, hitting a tree instead. Akihiko tried to slash Micro's leg in half with his sword covered in black flames, but it din't make a scratch, much to Akihiko's surprise. "This should of cut your leg in half!" Akihiko said. "I am a Metalman. I was built with the most indestructible metal in the universe. Your attempts are futile." Micro said. Micro then smacked Akihiko with it's fist, knocking him into Athena. "Well, this guy is tough." Athena said. "Yup." Akihiko sighed. Micro jumped in the air and landed in front of Athena and Akihko, attempting to stomp them once more. Athena and Akihiko jumped out of the way of Micro's foot. "If only Hifumi was here, he could probably manage to get in the robot's head and turn him off somehow." Akihiko said. "Maybe, but it's only the two of us here. There must be a way to take him down." Athena said. "But how?" Akihiko asked. "...Hm...okay, I got it. I'll try to attack from the front while you attack him from behind with a surprise attack. We'll both use our powerful attacks on him at the same time, enough to knock him down." Athena said. "Okay, I got you." Akihiko nodded. Athena and Akihiko got up and Akihiko ran behind Micro. Micro turned around to Akihiko till he got hit by Athena's plasma bolts. "Hey, Tin Can Man, over here!" Athena said. Micro turned around and shot lasers at Athena from his eye. Akihiko launched out a ghost hand and the ghost hand touched Micro's back and shot a beam of dark flames, hitting him in the back and sending him flying towards Athena. Athena shot a massive beam out of her gun and it hits Micro in the chest, right in his reactor core. Micro fell on the ground as a result of the combined attacks and was covered in dark flames. "YES, WE DID IT!" Athena yelled, aiming her fist at the sky. "Hm." Akihiko smiled. After a few seconds, Micro slowly got up and din't look that heavily injured by their attacks and despite being covered in dark flames. Though there was a crack on his reactor core. Micro's eye flashed red. "This has gone far enough." Micro said. Micro's hands switched to cannon hands and aimed them at Athena and Akihiko, beginning to charge them. Micro shot two massive red beams at Athena and Akihiko and they both got hit by the blasts. Akihiko was sent flying into a tree and Athena...into a chicken shed. Most of the chickens ran out. Micro's cannon hands switched back to his normal hands as he looked around. "...The Jewel is not in this location. It appears that this unit's efforts were all for nothing. It is time to go back to base." Micro said. Micro teleported out of there. Athena walked out of the chicken shed, now covered in feathers. She spat out some feathers before looking around for Micro. Akihiko, who looked hurt, went to Athena. "Do you see it?" Akihiko asked. "I think it got away. The shapeshifter is gone too. They got us..." Athena said, looking angry. "Great." Akihiko sarcastically said. Athena got her phone out and dialed Trixie's number, to see where she landed. "Athena, are you okay!?" Trixie answered. "Yeah, I'm okay. But the giant robot got away." Athena said. "Well, this is splendid." Trixie sarcastically said. "Yeah. Are you and Donald okay?" Athena asked. "Yeah. Mr.Roboto threw us so hard in the sky we landed in another city." Trixie said. It cuts to where Trixie and Donald were at. They were currently in Wellham. "...So, yeah, we're gonna find a train and take us to Newrum. See you in about a hour or so." Trixie said. "Okay. I'll see you there." Athena said, closing the phone and she turned to Akihiko. "They're okay. In another city, but okay. Now what?" Athena asked. "First, we should put out all the flames in the village and then check on the villagers to make sure they're okay and none got hurt." Akihiko said. "Good idea." Athena nodded. Athena and Akihiko went to clear the rest of the fire out. In the next day. The fire was put out in and the village wasn't entirely in ruins, but most of the houses and shops were burned up and destroyed. Most of the villagers were checking out their destroyed houses while some villagers were caught in the fire and were put in the ambulance and sent to the hospital. Athena, Trixie, Donald and Akihiko were looking around the destroyed village and spotted Lacey comforting some kids. "This must be tough on the kids." Donald said. "Yeah...those Legion guys make me sick for doing something as terrible like this." Trixie said. "They won't stop till they get their hands on the Jewel. Even if it means getting innocent blood on their hands. That's why we have to stop them from doing like this ever again." Athena said, looking angry. Akihiko turned around and his parents, Arashi and Caroline approached him. Arashi's hair was no longer in a ponytail and his hair was shoulder length, wearing a black robe and a white shirt underneath it and black pants and Caroline's hair was shorter and wearing a blue buttoned up shirt with a open black longcoat and black pants with a belt. "Are you two okay?" Akihiko asked. "We are. Don't worry about us. Unfortnately, some of the villagers got in the way of the fire and are now in the hospital." Arashi said. Akihiko looked at the ground. "...If only I stopped those culprits and made them pay." Akihiko said. Caroline puts her hand on his cheek. "It's not your fault, honey. You did the best you can. Atleast the villagers are safe." Caroline said. "But, what about our village? Our house?" Akihiko asked. "All of us will have to get together and work to fix what was destroyed." Arashi said. "Good thing I got my books out just in time before the fire got in. Well, Amila will surely send in the construction crew to help us rebuild the village back to how it was." Caroline said. "...Actually...Amila won't have to do a thing." A voice was heard. "What was that?" Trixie asked. A portal appeared behind them and Marick stepped out. "Dad." Athena said, looking surprised. "Marick." Arashi said. "It's nice to see you." Caroline said. "Nice to see you too, Caroline and Arashi." Marick said, approaching them. He turned to Akhiko. "And it's nice to see that the things that I taught you paid off." Marick said. Akihiko nodded. "Yes, sir." Akihiko said. "Dad, why are you here?" Athena asked. "Well, I came here to give Arashi and Caroline a offer. The Unigard could help rebuild the village back to how it was in just a few hours. The village will back to how it was in no time. Do you accept?" Marick asked. "Well, it's a nice offer, but it's not up to us. You have to talk with the one in charge." Caroline said. "You mean Ryo, right?" Marick asked. "I'll take you to him." Arashi said. "Okay. But before that, I want to talk to Athena." Marick said. Arashi nodded before Marick turned to Athena and her friends. "You did a good job yesterday." Marick said. "...But the Legion got away." Athena said. "They did now, but next time, they won't. What matters now is that you saved the villagers and put out the fire before anyone else got hurt. You should be proud about that. You three did a good job." Marick said. "I guess." Donald sighed. "The next time we encounter those Legion freaks, I'll give them a piece of my mind." Trixie said. "Okay, thanks dad." Athena said. "No problem. I'll go and talk to Ryo." Marick said, as he and Arashi went towards Ryo, Angel and Hikari. Athena turned to Trixie and Donald. "Well, let's report back to Jaden. Don't think he will be happy but atleast they din't take the Jewel." Athena said. "Yeah." Donald said. "Okay then." Trixie shrugged. Back at the ISP base. Athena, Trixie and Donald were in Jaden's office, explaining what happened at the village. "I see. So you couldn't capture the ones who caused the fire, huh?" Jaden asked. "Yeah, they got away." Athena said. "Would of been nice to catch them and interrogate them to find out more about the Black Crow's plans or some necessary information on how to stop them. But, the thing that counts the most is that the villagers are safe." Jaden said. "We couldn't of done it without Akihiko's help." Donald said. "Well, either way, well done. You succeeded in your first mission. Till we get more information on the Legion of Crows or the Jewel, you three are on standby." Jaden said. "Goodie, cause I'm tired as hell." Trixie said. "It would be good to get some nice deserved rest." Athena said. Cirak slammed the door open. "Where do you maggots think you are going? We are not finished with our training session just yet. GET YOUR ASSES BACK IN THE TRAINING AREA!" Cirak yelled. The three teenager's eyes widened simultaneously as Cirak grabbed Athena by her shirt and began to drag her and Athena grabbed Donald by his hand and he grabbed Trixie by her leg. Trixie hanged on to Jaden's desk, refusing to let go. "NO, NO, DON'T LET THIS CRAZY ASS DEMON TAKE US! NOOOO!" Trixie dramatically yelled as she was pulled off the desk and dragged to the training area. Jaden just shook his head in response. "Good Lord." Jaden sighed. END OF CHAPTER 4

AMELL SAGA-Chapter 1
It six pm. The day that The Legion of crowds attacked Kodama.
Amell was staring intently at a empty glass on the kitchen table- trying to move it with his mind.
Jess was currently cleaning the dishes while she was listening to the news and looked at Amell
"...Amell, what are you trying to do?" Jess asked
"...Well, I'm trying to make it float."Amell frowned.
"You could make it float with your wind power." Jess said
"Well yes."Amell said. "But I'm trying it with the mind power."
"Honey,I'm not sure if you have my powers, You most likely have your dad's powers than mine
"Hmph, Lame, Athena gets to have his future sight but I get none of yours?"
"Well, she doesn't exactly have his prophet's eye. It's not like we could decide what powers you and Athena could have while I was pregnant with you two." Jess said.
"..Where is Athena anyway?"Amell asked, leaning back in his chair.
"Probably with Jaden and his Intergalatic space guys. Ever since those Legion of whackos showed up, Athena has been more busier than ever." Jess said.
"Hmm...And yet here I am, trying to levitate a cup."Amell frowned.
"Amell, don't be like that. Levitating a cup is nothing really that special. I think the wind powers are more interesting than telekinesis and mind reading." Jess said.
"You can read someone's mind, That's way better than-" Amell did a hand gesture, the cup was knocked over by a slight breeze. "Air."
"Well, it's not exactly pleasant hearing someone's else thoughts, especially the nasty ones. Do you want to hear what Hifumi's throughts were during the Academy days?" Jess asked.
"Eugh."Amell Cringed.
"Point proven. So, how are your friends?" Jess asked
"Oh, Abbie's started Dating Ryoma- and Eric isn't grounded anymore."Amell said. "All just stupid girlfriend drama."
"Oh, that's nice." Jess said.
"Not really, Abbie has been getting all..snobby about Ryoma now."Amell frowned. "We were going to play against Amberton Community School tomorrow but She's dragged him of to go to the circus instead."
"Well, everybody has their own schedule and plans, I guess. Can't do anything about it. Though, I'm sure you'll do great tomorrow." Jess said.
"Yeah."Amell Said-grinning smugly. "I've learned this little trick, If I just Kick the Air enough in a certain way- I can move the ball even when someone else is kicking it!"
"That's cool, I guess. Try not to overdo it too much." Jess said.
Amell just frowned, slumping back onto the table, propping his face up with his hands, and turning to look at the news.
"In other news, a fire has erupted in the in the village Kodama located next to Newrum State City. All the residents village have evacuated and had been unharmed by the fire, except for atleast 8 or 10 casualties who got in the fire's way and right now in the hospital. The reasons for the sudden burst of fire are unknown as of right now." The reporter said, showing the image of the burned Kodama.
Jess looked shocked when she heard that.
"Oh God, that's where Arashi and Caroline stay at!" Jess said.
"Well, Noone died. Despite this reporter saying Casualties."Amell said.
"Yeah, but still. I can't imagine how all these people feel after losing their homes. Don't even know where they would sleep at till the village is fixed. Don't know if a motel could be enough for all of them." Jess said.
Amell opened his mouth, but then closed it.
"...They're not all gonna march into this house to crash out, are they?"Amell asked.
"Doubt that. Amila lives there, she'll certainly do something about the village situation if she is not too busy with her campaign." Jess said.
Amell frowned.
"Athena's still not here."He commented, before he got up from his seat and walked upstairs.
And right that moment, Athena walked through the door, looking pained and exhausted.
"I'm hoooome." Athena said in a tired voice.
Leon walked right past her.
Amell was still heading upstairs, he looked around- noticing Athena's door was open slightly, he peered inside.
Laughing to himself quietly, he headed towards her desk drawer-expecting to find her diary, instead he found the items Keira had given her.
He looked at them- not sure if they were anything new, but began to smirk as he took the key and hid it in his jacket pocket.
Jess looked at Athena.
"Oh, honey, you're back...why do you look tired." Jess asked.
Athena sat at the table and sighed before she looked at the news.
"...I was training at the ISP and those Legion of Cowards caused a fire in the village and I failed to stop them." Athena said
"...Oh...so, that was..." Jess said.
"Yeah." Athena sighed.
Amell continued to look through her things, eventually finding something labelled 'Diary',
Grinning to himself he opened it up.
There was only one sentence of writing
'nice try amell'
Amell just frowned, gave up, and went back downstairs.
--
"..Oh, Sis, you're back."He commented as he reached the ground floor.
Athena looked at Amell.
"Hi, Amell." Athena said.
Leon was currently whining pain after bitting Micro's metallic leg.
"So. Where were you?"Amell asked- sitting back down.
"Oh, just stopping a fire that erupted in a village and also the Legion of Cronies only to fail at the second part." Athena said.
"Which one beat you up?"Amell asked
"The Transformer. Barely put a scratch on it." Athena said.
"This is why you should always bring bombs."Amell said. "Blow it up!"
"We attacked it with beams, plasma bolts and flames and nothing. Doubt a bomb would get the job done." Athena said.
"A Special Anti-Transformer Bomb! Bring In a Negatron or something, I unno."Amell said, a bit louder.
"maybe I'll ask Lyra to built one if she can." Athena said.
"Well, sorry to hear this honey. Anything else that happened?" Jess asked.
"Me and my friends started a training session at the ISP base and our instructor is crazier than a fruitcake." Athena said.
"That sounds hilarious."Amell frowned. "Shame I wasn't there to see it."
"Trust me, you wouldn't want to be there." Athena said.
"Why's that?"Amell laughed.
"Because the guy is a maniac who probably never drank a cup of coffee in his life and will train you to the point where you forget how to breathe." Athena said.
"Well it still sounds funny to watch."Amell Shrugged. "Besides, if you couldn't beat that robot. you might need it."
"I tried to convince it that working with the Legion won't work, but he won't listen. Besides, it wants to understand human emotions or whatever he said." Athena said.
"Well that's stupid, Destroying Humans is going to help it understand them?"Amell asked.
"Apparently, when the Black Crow will get the crown, he will give him the ability to feel or something. I wonder what other motives the rest of the Legion for working for a scumbag like the Black Crow." Athena said.
"...so they're just searching for a crown?"Amell asked.
"A powerful crown made by a Omnipotent that will apparently turn a mortal into a more powerful God than any Omnipotents or other gods out there and have the power to create and destroy everything and we have to stop them from finding the last Jewel that will power up the Crown. That's why they attacked the museum and the village." Athena said.
"Hmm."Amell thought to himself, not saying anything as he just reclined into his chair.
The Last Jewel? could that be the thing in Athena's room...
"So, is everyone else from the village okay?" Jess asked.
"Yeah, they are. Except for 6 or 7 of them who are in the hospital. Me and my friends are gonna check on the villagers tomorrow and report to Jaden how the mission went." Athena said.
Amell said nothing, still deep in thought, pondering if the crystal he found in Athena's room was relevant.
"Anything else?" Jess asked.
"No, I think I'm gonna go upstairs and relax a bit before dinner." Athena yawned as she got up and walked upstairs, haven't read Amell's mind possibly due to how tired she was.
Amell watched her as she went upstairs.
"..I-uh, I need to do my homework."Amell said- a couple of minutes later- as he went upstairs.
He floated himself up the stairs, and tried to watch to see what Athena was doing.
Athena entered in her room and just puts her hat down and sat on her computer chair and sighed
"...These guys are gonna keep doing the same thing over and over again. They'll just burn down another city to get the Jewel and the result will be the same. If we can't find the Jewel, there's gotta be a way to someone lure one of those Legion creeps into a trap and capture them. Like, make up a lie that we got a Jewel and challenge them to get it...Hm...wait a sec." Athena said.
Athena looked into her desk and looked carefully at the items Keira gave her and specifically looked at the crystal and picked it up.
"...Hm...not sure if this could be the real thing or not...but if it isn't...maybe we could..." Athena said, suddenly getting an idea.
Amell grinned- continuing to watch,
aaaaand accidentally pushing himself into the door, causing it to open and reveal him floating there
Athena immediately turned around and gasped, before realizing it was Amell.
She did not look happy.
"...Amell." Athena said.
"...What? I could hear you and the door was shut anyway."Amell said
"...Look, just forget anything I said and..." Athena said, before she looked at Keira's items and noticed that the key was gone.
She turned her head to Amell.
"...Give it back." Athena said.
Amell's face paled,
"...give what back?"
"...The key." Athena said.
"Why? What's it the key to?"Amell asked. "..I..I mean, not that I have it."
"...Honestly, I don't know. Couple of days ago, a random girl called Keira showed up, she may have a power I guess and she gave these random items and told me to keep them. She asked if I recognized and I said no." Athena said.
"...Hmm."Amell Hmm'd. "...So...That Jewel in your desk, Might be the crown jewel?"Amell asked.
"...Honestly, I have no idea. If it isn't...I could use it as bait to lure those Legion guys and catch them and make tell us what's the Black Crow's plans." Athena said.
Amell Floated into Athena's Bedroom.
"...Very much a bit of a pickle you got there.
But how can you use the Jewel as bait? They don't know where it is."
"Well, maybe we send a message to them or something. Jaden and his guys could send the message if they agree of course." Athena said.
"...Hmm..."Amell said. "Well, There not going to want to know it's from there enemies. Anyone with a brain would conclude it's a trap."
"I'll figure it out. So...um...the key?" Athena asked.
"Tell ya what... You let me help out with this trap. I'll give you the key."Amell Grinned, flipping upside down in the air- probably without realizing it.
"...Well, I kinda will have to plan the whole thing with Donald, Trixie and the guys from the ISP...But, I can listen to your suggestions. So, what are your ideas?" Athena asked.
"Well I don't have any yet, I'd need to know which legion member would be more likely to arrive to retrieve it. What they're weak to, what they're resistant to, The Abilities of everyone else who would be there, and quite a bit more."Amell said- putting a finger up for every reason he listed as to why he didn't have a idea yet.
the true reason was he just didn't have a idea.
"...Well, I don't really know that much about the Legion members or how they operate and what their weaknesses so...ugh, I guess I'll figure it out tomorrow really. After I check upon the villagers and see how they are doing and report to Jaden. As for the key...honestly, I really don't know if I'll ever meet this Keira girl again and I have much more important stuff to do than making sense of these items so...you can keep the key I guess. But I'll keep the crystal." Athena said.
Amell shrugged. "Fine."He said, "Didn't want to help anyways."He sighed- floating out of the room with a disappointed and sour expression.
Athena just sighed before she just kept looking at the crystal and puts it back in her desk.
"Sorry Amell, but after what happened with the village and seeing how brutal these guys are...I really don't want you to get in the mix of all this and get yourself injured or worse. After seeing how strong was Micro...I can't imagine how strong the others will be...especially Veronica and Sin." Athena said to herself in her mind.
Amell went into his bedroom. Looking pretty annoyed.
He Sent a gust of wind at a cushion on his bed- it flew up- hitting the ceiling and landing down on his desklamp.
He heard something tapping at his window. Amell snapped his head around to see a storm going on outside, a Piece of paper stuck to his window.
He leaned over his desk, knocking some things over, and opened the window, the wet paper splatted onto his face, he closed the window as fast as possible, the paper fell in front of him.
'The Great Cailloux's Astounding Show of Magic! playing throughout the week at Schzofield garden's.'
"This must be that stupid show Abbie and Ryoma are going to."Amell frowned, looking it over, seeing the image of a Blonde, rather hansome man with clear grey eyes holding a magic cane, flowers and seagulls and jewels emerging from it and filling up the sky behind him- it looked like a photograph was taken of the scene happening.
Amell looked at the jewels, noticing one of them looked identical to the one Athena had in her room.
He Lifted his desk-lamp up, folded the Paper into a tiny cube, and slid it under it.
"...I guess i'll just do some investigation of my own."He frowned.
Athena meanwhile just dressed herself up in her pajamas and went to go to sleep.
Marick eventually arrived home and Jess talked to him about the fire that happened Newrum.
Amell crept to the staircase, floating in the air so as not to make a sound- and tried to listen in on their conversation.
Marick was suggesting going to the village later to offer Caroline and Arashi to let the Unigard help them rebuilt the village to how it was and then mostly talking about Athena and Amell.
Amell frowned, turning away and lying down on his bed.
He glanced at where he hid the poster that had hit his window, and then closed his bedroom door, getting into bed, and trying to get to sleep.
Jess and Marick eventually to bed aswell.
Jess was currently reading a book and seemed to be thinking.
"...Athena is getting so busy now with the Legion of Crows creeping down on her neck and very soon, she will become a adult and live her own life. I really miss the days I had with her as a kid. And Marick is also busy with his job as White Arrow...maybe I should spend some more time with Amell while he is still very young. He deserves to spend some time with his own mom." Jess said in her mind

THE ATHENA SAGA
CHAPTER 5 BATTLE ON THE BOAT
The chapter begins at the ISP base, mostly in the training area. It's been a few days since the attack on Kodama.
Athena, Trixie and Donald were sparing against Cirak.
Athena shot some plasma bolts at Cirak and he easily deflected them with his fists.
Donald and Trixie charged at him with their weapons and he blocked them with his hands and he threw them on the ground.
"Is that the best you can do Maggots?" Cirak asked, turning around to them.
"...Actually...yeah." Trixie smiled.
While his attention was turned to them, Athena lifted some boxes with her telekinesis and dropped them on his head, smashing the boxes.
Cirak felt a immense pain in his head, giving opportunity for Trixie and Donald to hit him.
Donald smacked him with his hammer while Trixie kicked him in his stomach and Athena launched out a beam from her gun, hitting Cirak and knocking him into the wall.
Cirak got up, looking impressed.
"Well, I'll be damned. You three assclowns are doing great so far when it comes to teamwork. If you improve much more, your chances of winning against the Legion will be big!" Cirak said.
"Phew." Athena smiled.
"Well, that's good...I guess." Donald said.
"Today's training session is over. Your dismissed, maggots!" Cirak said.
"Hooray." Trixie sarcastically said.
Athena, Trixie and Donald walked out of the training area.
"Well, this went much better than our first sparing match with him." Donald said.
"Yup. We do good as a team." Athena said.
"Aha. Those Legion fools won't know what hit em once we face them off against again. Though, I wish Cirak would be less of an ass." Trixie said.
"Can't wait to go home and get some sleep." Donald said.
"Yeah...So, tomorrow at high school, I want to talk to you guys about something." Athena said.
"What is it?" Trixie asked.
"I may have an idea on how we can deal with the Legion of Crows." Athena said.
"Oh, neat. Can't wait to hear it." Donald said.
"Yeah. And hopefully it will work." Athena said.
It cuts to the next day, at Athena's High School.
It was after school and the teenagers gathered around Zack, listening to one of his stories.
Athena, Trixie and Donald were standing right next to a tree, away from the crowd.
"Why is it that everytime I see them being around that jerkwas I feel mad?" Trixie asked.
"Probably because you don't like him?" Donald suggested.
"...Yeah, I think that's pretty much it." Trixie agreed.
"Let's forget about Zack. We have more bigger fish to fry right now." Athena said.
"Oh, yeah, that idea of yours...so, what's your idea?" Donald asked.
"Well, you see, the Jewel hasn't been found yet and the Legion will keep looking for it and they won't stop till they get their greedy hands on it. They'll just keep attacking cities and more innocent people will get killed." Athena said.
"Okay. So?" Trixie asked.
"...Well, since these guys are so eager to get themselves a Jewel...why not just give it to them?" Athena asked, smiling.
She looked into her bag and pulled out the Crystal item of Keira's.
Donald looked surprised.
"Wait, it's that the Jewel!?" Donald asked.
"No, I doubt it, it's just the crystal thing that Keira gave me." Athena said.
"So, what do you plan to do with-...Oh." Trixie said, realizing it.
"Yup. We're gonna set up a trap. We're gonna have the Legion of Crows go to get this Jewel and ambush them. Then we'll capture atleast one of them and make them spill their guts about the Black Crow's plans." Athena said.
"That...actually sounds like a good plan. But, we need more better execution to make these guys come out and try to get a fake Jewel." Donald said.
"Yup. We just need to talk to Jaden about this and we'll set up the plan." Athena said.
"Cool. Let's call him now." Athena said.
Athena grabbed her communicator and contacted Jaden.
"Hey, Jaden, can you bring us to your office, it's important." Athena said.
Zack looked over at Athena, Donald and Trixie...and they suddenly vanished.
Zack's eyes widened.
"What the hell!?" Zack asked.
"What's wrong, Zack?" A girl asked.
"Uh...it's...nothing. My eyes are just playing tricks on me." Zack said.
"Oh, okay. Will you continue the story?" The girl asked.
"Huh? Oh yeah, sure." Zack said, though still confused about the three suddenly disappearing.
"...What the hell was that all about?...Did those guys just vanish?...There is something going on with those three, I can feel it." Zack said.
At the ISP base.
The three were in Jaden's office and he was checking out the crystal Athena gave him, to see if it's the real thing or fake.
"...Well, it's definitely not the last Jewel. Though, what do you want to do with it?" Jaden asked.
"Since these guys are so desperate on finding the last Jewel...we could set up a trap using this Jewel as bait and make them come to get it. Once a member of the Legion shows up, we can capture him or her and bring them back here to make them tell us about the Black Crow's scheme." Athena said.
Jaden looked at the Crystal and thinked carefully...
"...Hm...that...could actually work...I suppose." Jaden said.
"So, how are we gonna pull this off?" Donald asked.
"...Me and my council will make a strategy based on the plan Athena came up with...and plant the Jewel somewhere on your planet where the Black Crow and his minions can find it. Of course, you three will be there to capture them and bring them back here. If we can interrogate them, we may be able to uncover the Black Crow's plan. We can't get information out of robots, but members of the Legion are a different story." Jaden said.
"Okay then." Trixie said.
"I'll go and talk with the rest about this." Jaden said.
Jaden walked out of his office while the three just waited.
30 minutes later and Jaden walked back in.
"Well?" Athena asked.
"It's been decided. The Crystal will be shipped on a boat, in a Swamp area on your planet. They'll definitely attack the ship. I want you three to be there and secure the fake Jewel before the Legion shows up. There is no room for error, so do the best you can!" Jaden said.
"We got it." Athena nodded.
A hour later.
At the swamp, Athena, Leon, Donald and Trixie were on a large boat belonging to the ISP, standing right behind a crate and inside it was the crystal. They were waiting for the Legion to strike.
"Come and get it, you bastards! I'll blow you asswipes away!" Trixie said.
"You know, you can't just start a brawl with them." Donald said.
"Why not?" Trixie asked.
"If the Legion discover that the Jewel is a fake, they'll take off. We have to grab them before that can happen." Donald said.
"...So, what you are saying...is that we have to beat them very quickly right?" Trixie asked.
Donald facepalmed.
"Oh, man." Donald sighed.
Athena's eyes then glew purple and immediately turned around.
"...Guys...they're here." Athena said.
Donald and Trixie turned around and looked at what Athena was seeing.
A spaceship of the Legion showed up and landed on the water. The doors opened and some Kheog soldiers stepped out and jumped in the water. They began swimming their way to the boat.
"It's those Lizard soldiers!" Donald said.
"I have been looking forward to a payback!" Trixie said, cracking her knuckles.
Athena got her gun out while Leon was standing right beside her, ready to bite them.
Five Kheog Soldiers jumped out of the water and landed on the boat.
"Give us the Jewel!" The Kheog soldier said.
"We got to it first!" Athena said.
"Yeah, Finders Keepers!" Donald said.
"Go and find yourselves another Jewel somewhere else, furries!" Trixie said.
"Seems like we have no choice. If we'll have to rip your bodies to shreds to get the Jewel, so be it! Men, get them!" The Kheog soldier said.
The five Kheogs ran towards the three and Leon.
"Okay, guys, let's get them!" Athena said.
Athena attempted to kick one of the soldiers in the head but the Kheog soldier grabbed the kick and punched Athena back.
Leon lunged at the Kheog soldier and bites him in his hand, causing the soldier the scream in pain.
Athena took the opportunity to shoot a beam out of her gun and hits the Kheog soldier, knocking off the boat and into the water.
Two Kheogs were shooting at Donald who blocked most of the blasts with his giant hammer.
He ran up to the two Kheogs while using the Hammer as a shield and smacked them both in their faces, knocking them in the water aswell.
"Phew." Donald sighed in relief.
Another Kheog kept attempting to hit Trixie with it's claws and while she was dodging, she stabbed the Kheog in his leg with her Lance.
She then stabbed him in the stomach before kicking him off the boat.
The last Kheog was behind Trixie and grabbed her, aiming his weapon at her temple.
"You better drop your weapons and surrender the Jewel, or else this one dies!" The Kheog said.
"LET ME GO, YOU LIZARD FUCK!" Trixie yelled.
Athena turned to Donald.
"Donald! Threw the hammer at him!" Athena said.
"Uh, okay. I just hope I don't hit Trixie instead." Donald sighed.
Donald carefully looked at the soldier and threw his hammer at him.
The hammer hits the Kheog in the head, releasing Trixie and knocking him into the water aswell.
Athena ran to Trixie.
"Are you okay?" Athena asked.
"Yeah, I am. We showed those lizards who the bosses are around here." Trixie said.
"That was way easier than I expected." Donald said.
"I doubt it's over." Athena said.
Athena's eyes glew purple again.
"Crap, more of them are coming!" Athena said.
Five more Kheogs jumped out of the water and immediately began shooting at the three and Leon.
Leon got hit by some lasers.
"LEON!" Athena shouted.
Athena turned to the Kheogs, looking angry.
She used her telekinesis and stopped the shots in mid air and sent them at the Kheogs instead.
Two Kheogs got hit and were knocked in the water while the othree blocked.
The three Kheogs kept shooting and Donald and Trixie got hit and knocked on the ground.
"Shit, that hurts!" Trixie said.
Athena hid behind a box, so she wouldn't get hit by the Kheog's blasts.
She looked around and carefully lifted a random crate with her power and dropped it on a Kheog's head, knocking him off the boat.
When the other Kheogs turned around to the Kheog who just got knocked off the boat, Athena came out of hiding and shot at the two Kheogs with plasma bolts, hitting them in the chest and knocking them off the boat aswell.
Athena just took a breath before she turned to the others.
"Are you guys okay?" Athena asked.
Donald and Trixie got up.
"We are, but that hurt like a bitch." Trixie said.
"I can't feel my spleen." Donald said.
"Stay on your guard. More of them might show up again." Athena said.
"Man, are those Legion guys gonna show up to get the Jewel themselves or what?" Trixie asked.
Suddenly, the sound of a guitar was heard.
The three looked around.
"Where did that come from?" Donald asked.
Athena looked up and gasped.
"LOOK!" Athena pointed.
Kelou was standing on the top of the boat.
"Hola, Amigos." Kelou said.
"...A...Mariachi?" Donald asked.
"This is just getting weirder by every second." Trixie said.
"Don't let his looks fool you guys. Believe me, my dad fought against guys who looked more weirder but they were strong So be ready." Athena said, aiming her gun at Kelou.
"Right." Donald sighed.
Kelou jumped and landed in front of the three.
"My name is Kelou, the Omnipotent of Electricity. I am one of Cuervo Negro's allies and I have came here to get that blasted Jewel. So, if you three will be some nice kids and go off to watch your silly cartoons and let me take the Jewel, that would be appreciated." Kelou said.
"Yeah, like that will ever happen." Trixie sarcastically said.
Leon just growled at Kelou.
"So, tell me, what is your reason for joining the Black Crow?" Athena asked.
"Simple. Respect and Recognition. Two things that I deserve the most after putting up with lots of suffering for many years ever since I was born. Cuervo Negro will help make a legend known throughout the entire galaxy and universes. And once I'll take this Jewel, he will have no choice but to fulfill my wish." Kelou said.
"The Black Crow will turn on you the moment he gets power, you know that right?" Athena asked.
"I only work with these guys to get what I want. Once I get it, I'll severe my ties with those locos and go on our separate ways. Now, enough chitchat, give me the Jewel." Kelou said.
"Over our dead bodies, Bucko!" Trixie said.
"You know, people always say that to act tough, but in reality, they themselves are terrified to meet the Grim Reaper himself. But, oh well, I was trying to be nice so, prepare yourselves for a good shock." Kelou said as his hands began glowing with electricity.
Athena lifted some boxes with her telekinesis and threw them at Kelou.
He easily sliced through the boxes with his bare hands before shooting electricity at the three.
The three ducked Kelou's attack before Athena shoot some plasma bolts at Kelou.
Kelou simply opened his hand and easily absorbed the plasma bolts.
"Huh!?" Athena asked.
"Plasma is a part of electricity you know. Don't be surprised that it can't hurt me, Seniorita. Now then, I believe it's my turn now." Kelou said.
Kelou got out his guitar and when he hits the strings, the guitar shooted some shockwaves at the three.
Athena dodged but unfortunately, Donald and Trixie got hit and they fell on the ground.
Athena turned around, looking concerned.
"Guys!?" Athena asked.
Donald and Trixie slowly got up, but Trixie's pig tails were now charged with electricity.
"We're okay...." Donald said, though the look on his face said otherwise.
Trixie looked pissed.
"Okay, jerk, now you asked for it!" Trixie said.
Trixie lets out a battle cry as she charged at Kelou with her Lance.
Kelou blocked her Lance with his guitar and Trixie's Lance got electrified and so did Trixie.
"KIAH!" Trixie yelled in pain.
Kelou kicked Trixie to the ground.
"TRIX!" Athena yelled.
Donald looked pissed.
"Hey, that's my friend, you psychopath!" Donald yelled out.
Donald threw his hammer at the Omnipotent who easily grabbed the hammer without difficulty.
"Thanks, tubby!" Kelou said.
Kelou covered the hammer with electricity and smacked the floor with the hammer, sending out more shockwaves which hits Athena and Donald, knocking them on the ground.
Kelou tossed the hammer back at Donald, landing right beside him.
Leon lunged at Kelou, ready to bite him.
"OLE!" Kelou shouted, moving aside and lifting his pancho.
Leon missed Kelou and landed on the floor.
Athena charged at Kelou, attempting to kick him in the face.
Kelou grabbed her by her leg and threw her into a box, Athena's body smashed the box upon hitting it.
He turned back to Trixie and Donald and hits his guitar's strings.
"Dance, electricity, dance!" Kelou commanded.
More shockwaves were launched out of the guitar and hit Trixie and Donald once more.
"Okay, this guy is way too powerful, how do we take him down!?" Trixie asked.
"I have no idea!" Donald said.
Athena carefully looked at Kelou before she sent a mind message at Donald and Trixie.
"Okay, here is how we will do this: You guys attack him on the front and I'll try to hit him from behind with a surprise attack. He won't see it coming and I doubt he can read our minds so we can manage to do this. This will hurt a lot sure, but we have no choice." Athena mind message said.
"Ugh, okay, A, whatever you say." Trixie said in her mind as she got up and picked up her Lance.
"Oh boy..." Donald said, getting up aswell.
They both charged at Kelou, attempting to hit him with their weapons.
Kelou simply dodged their attacks and smacked them both with his electrified guitar. Athena ran past Kelou without having him see her and was standing right behind back, aiming her gun at him and charging up a beam.
"You have to do better than that, my fri-"
Athena's beam hits Kelou in his back, sending him flying.
"GAH! WHAT!?" Kelou asked.
Donald and Trixie hit Kelou with their weapons. Trixie ended up stabbing him in the stomach while Donald smacked him in the face with his hammer, knocking Kelou into the floor.
"Ha, in your face, bitch!" Trixie said.
Kelou simply got up. His goggles were now a bit cracked thanks to the hammer and had a small hole in his pancho made by Trixie's Lance and was only bleeding slightly from the stomach. But otherwise, he din't look that injured.
"Hm, you losers actually managed to land a hit on me. Consider me impressed. Now I'll have to get more serious now." Kelou said.
Kelou's electrified hands extended to the rest of his body, covering himself in electricity. He was practically glowing with electricity. Wasn't exactly his Omnipotent form, most likely a semi-version of it.
"Oh, goodie, because that would of been way too easy." Athena said.
Donald just gulped.
"Let's dance!" Kelou said.
He shot lots of electricity out of his body and the electricity flew right towards Donald, Trixie, Athena and Leon, hitting all of them at the same time and knocking them again.
Athena and Trixie got up and both attacked Kelou at the same time with their weapons but when they hit Kelou, they got fried by electricity and got knocked on the floor again.
"OW!" Trixie said.
"This is bad." Athena said.
"That was just a taste of my power. Now, watch this." Kelou said.
Kelou jumped back to the top of the boat. He lifted his arm towards the sky and focused all his energy, shooting a pillar of electricity.
Donald helped Athena and Trixie get up while looking at Kelou.
"What is he doing now?" Donald asked
A dragon made out of pure electricity merged out of the pillar and the pillar vanished.
"Now, my winged destroyed made out of electricity...make them disappear of the face of the Earth!" Kelou said, as he threw his hand at the trio.
The electric Dragon lunged down at the trio and...
A explosion of electricity occurred, covering the entire swamp, it was hard to see the fighters.
Once the explosion was over, the entire area was now electrified.
Kelou, unsurprisingly looked unharmed and looked down at his opponents.
Athena, Donald and Trixie and Leon were on the floor, their clothes and hair were now charged with electricity and looked pretty injured.
Athena slowly got herself back on her feet.
"...I'm...not...giving up...just...yet!" Athena said.
"Even after that blast, you are still alive? Impressive." Kelou said.
"You haven't seen anything impressive just yet." Athena told Kelou as she helped Trixie and Donald get up.
"Are you okay?" Athena asked them.
"Barely." Donald said, coughing up some smoke.
Athena turned to Leon who was simply whimpering in pain.
Trixie just turned to Kelou.
"I'm getting sick of this guy already. How do we beat him?" Trixie asked.
Athena looked at Kelou.
"I have no idea. I'm thinking on it." Athena said.
"As entertaining as it was using you kids as punching bags, Cuervo Negro is waiting for me to bring him the Jewel and so it's time we end this little spectacle with the grand finale that will leave the audience all shook up. NOW, COME FORTH MY SUSANOO!" Kelou yelled.
The electricity out of Kelou's body started to form his Susanoo. The Susanoo was a giant electrified Calavera with a giant knife. Kelou was in it's ribcage.
Donald's eyes widened.
"It's-It's a monster!" Donald said.
"It's a Susanoo. My grandpa fought against this thing in the final fight with Hastur." Athena said.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?" Trixie asked.
"I'm quite disappointed by the so called 'heroes' of this universe. Hard to believe that this planet produced the same fighters who apparently took down Emynx. I wonder if the ones who took him down will turn out to be as disappointing as you three." Kelou said.
The Susanoo aimed it's knife and plunged it into the boat, sending out a giant wave of electricity which hits Athena, Trixie, Donald and Leon, causing them to scream in pain.
The electricity wave causing the boat to rock back and forth and some water splashed the Susanoo's leg, causing it to distort a bit.
"Ah, shit, forgot we are on a boat in the middle of the water! I have to be more careful and finish these suckers more carefully!" Kelou said.
The Susanoo moved a bit far away from the water and moved closer to the trio, aiming it's giant knife at the three.
"Oh uh..." Donald said, looking afraid.
"Athena, any ideas!?" Trixie asked.
Athena, after seeing the water splash earlier, grinned.
"...In fact...I do. Just hold on to something." Athena said.
Athena suddenly got up and ran past the Susanoo's legs and ran inside the boat.
"Huh?" Kelou asked, looking reasonably confused.
Athena ran to the steering wheel, puts her hand on it and began spinning it.
The boat was now rocking back and forth again, but a bit slowly.
The Susanoo stood still and did not lose it's balance, making sure not to fall in the water.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Kelou asked.
"You don't seem to like the water. So, let me help you get rid of your fear by giving you a quick bath!" Athena said as she kept spinning the wheel.
The boat was now rocking back and forth very fast.
Donald, Trixie and Leon held onto the floor while Kelou and his Susanoo had a hard time staying still on the boat and not get touched by water.
"Shit, Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit." Kelou repeatedly said.
Athena then hits the wheel with her foot.
The boat stopped rocking and the Susanoo lost it's balance and was about to be plunged into the water.
"NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-" Kelou yelled.
The Susanoo fell in the water.
Donald and Trixie got up as Athena ran back to them.
"It worked!" Athena smiled.
"Why did you do that?" Trixie asked.
"Din't you see? That guy's power is electricity. When the water splashed the Susanoo's leg, it was distorting a bit." Athena said.
"Oh, I get it! Water and electricity do not combine well together and that monster was made completely of electricity! Clever!" Donald said.
"...So, if that thing was made out of electricity and it fell in the water...what's gonna-"
Suddenly, a giant pillar of electricity shot out of the water. The sound of Kelou's scream was heard.
"KIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Kelou screamed.
The pillar vanished.
For a few seconds, the trio waited to see if Kelou will come out and get back on the boat.
"...He is done." Athena said.
"Thank God." Donald sighed.
"...Is he still alive?" Trixie asked.
They waited to see if Kelou was still alive. A few bobbles popped out of the water and Kelou's hand merged out of the water and clutched to the surface. Kelou, who was completely pitch black, his sombrero, goggles and scarf were gone, crawled to the dry land.
"...You...sons of....Brujas...are not gonna get away with this." Kelou said before he passed out.
Athena drove the boat right to next to the surface and she, Leon, Trixie and Donald walked up to the unconscious Omnipotent.
"Hah, what do you think now, Mr.Electric?" Trixie asked.
"The plan was a success. We caught one of the Legion members." Athena said.
"We should get him to the Intergalatic base before he wakes up." Donald said.
Athena's eyes glew purple and she looked shocked as she turned around.
"Athena?" Donald asked.
"...There is still one more." Athena said.
She looked at the Kheog ship where the Kheog soldiers came from and Kross was standing on it. He jumped into the water and swam right towards their boat.
Athena turned to Donald and Trixie.
"You guys keep an eye on Kelou. I'll handle this one." Athena said.
"Be careful." Donald said.
"I will." Athena nodded.
Athena got on the boat and drove it very closely to Kross.
Kross jumped out of the water and charged at Athena.
Athena blocked his attack and kicked him back, shooting plasma bolts at him.
Kross deflected the blasts with his clawed gloves.
Athena lifted some boxes with her power and threw them at Kross.
Kross smashed through the boxes as he grabbed his weapon and shot a laser at Athena.
Athena dodged the laser and lunged at Kross, attempting to kick him.
Kross grabbed her leg and threw her aside.
"Enough with the charade. Surrender the Jewel, now." Kross said.
Athena looked at Kross, smilling.
"Sure, be my guest." Athena said, gesturing at the crate right next to Kross.
Kross walked up to the crate, opened it and picked up the Crystal, smiling underneath his helmet.
"At last, we got it!" Kross said.
"Yeah, you got it alright...as long as you don't mind a fake that is." Athena said.
Kross looked shocked.
"A FAKE!?" Kross asked.
"In order to lure you guys out, we put up a bit of a show. And we managed to capture one of the Black Crow's members. Now, what's gonna be your next move?" Athena asked, getting up and aiming her gun at Kross.
Kross analyzed the crystal and it did not match with the 5th Jewel at all. Kross dropped the crystal on the ground.
"...Grrrrrrrr." Kross growled, looking furious.
Athena's finger was on the trigger.
"...Heh, you don't know what you brought upon yourselves. As a special thanks for this treachery, when the Black Crow gets the last Jewel and uses the Crown on himself...I'll personally eradicate your miserable species and planet till there is nothing left! And I'll make you watch!" Kross said.
Kross pressed a button on his glove and teleported out.
Athena simply glared at the spot where Kross was once.
"...We'll see about that." Athena said.
Athena drove the boat back to the surface and jumped back on the land.
Trixie, not looking satisfied, ran towards the boat.
"Trixie, leave him." Athena said.
"Why?" Trixie asked.
"Our job was to capture this guy. If you go after him, it will be hard to bring him back to the base." Athena said.
"Agreed." Donald said.
"But we can't let him get away after threatening us like that!" Trixie said.
"We'll run into him again when we will fight the Legion again. But for now, let's get Kelou to Jaden and interrogate him. Okay?" Athena asked.
"...Fine." Trixie said, not looking happy about this.
Donald got out his communicator and pressed a button.
"Jaden, we caught one of them. His name is Kelou, I think. Bring us to the base." Donald said.
Athena, Trixie, Donald and the unconscious Kelou were teleported out of there.
At the ISP base.
Kelou was awake and was in the interrogation room, sitting at a table, cursing a storm of swears in Spanish.
Athena, Trixie, Donald and Cirak were just watching from the window.
"...Congratz, you managed to capture a Legion of Crows." Cirak said.
"Yup." Trixie said.
"And that fight...that was quite...a disappointing performance!" Cirak said.
"Huh?" Donald asked.
"You three were getting tossed around like hot potatoes, without even putting up a fight! That was embarrassing to watch! You three still have a lot to learn before you can fight a member of the Legion again."Cirak said.
"But we managed to beat Kelou and bring him back here!" Athena said.
"You were lucky that the battle happened on a boat in the middle of the water, cause otherwise, the mission would of ended in failure! Kelou was the better fighter here!" Cirak said.
"BUT SIR-"
Before they could continue arguing, Jaden and Ymarac entered in the room, walking up to the trio and Cirak.
"Well done, you captured Kelou and the mission was a success. With the help of Ymarac, we can find out what the Legion is planning." Jaden said.
"Okay." Donald nodded.
Jaden and Ymarac entered in the interrogation room.
Jaden sat on a chair while Kelou simply glared at him.
"All right, Kelou, tell us, what's the Black Crow planning?" Jaden asked.
"Piss off." Kelou said.
"You are making this harder on yourself by refusing to answer. I'm being nice here so answer my question." Jaden said.
"Yeah, like I'll tell you anything. You porkers here at the ISP think you are so above everyone else cause you have technology. You are bunch of cunts, that's what the hell you are. The Law is a joke. Beside, if I say anything, the next thing the Legion will do is kill me." Kelou said.
"If you cooperate with us, we'll make sure that no harm will come to you at all." Jaden said.
"I heard that bit lots of times by now that I lost count. Long before the Omnipotents became respected members of society, I was forced to be locked in a facility since I was 7 years old, being forced to stay there for 6 long eternal years, being watched by some idiots in labcoats, triyng to see how useful I could be as a generator for light bulbs! So, forgive me, you ignorant fuck, for refusing to be very 'cooperative'. Is that good enough for you?" Kelou asked.
"So, you won't to tell us about the Black Crow's plans?" Jaden asked.
Kelou simply just stared at Jaden, the look on his face was obvious.
Jaden sighed.
"Guess we have no choice. Ymarac, do what you have to do." Jaden said.
Ymarac simply nodded as she puts her hand on Kelou's forehead and his eyes started glowing white.
"W-What are you-!?" Kelou asked, looking shocked.
"Ymarac is using her power to pull the truth out of you. Anything you will say from now on will be the absolute truth. Now, tell me, what is the Black Crow planning!?" Jaden asked.
"...He...he...he is planning on using the Crown of Deity to increase his mental powers to a god like power...and use them...to commence his...Infinite Multiversal Hypnotism Plan." Kelou said.
Jaden, Athena, Trixie, Donald, Cirak and Ymarac's eyes widened.
"Infinite Multiversal Hypnotism Plan? What does that mean? What is he planning to do!?" Jaden asked.
"...Cuervo Negro...he will...will..."
Kelou's eyes suddenly widened.
"GAH!" Kelou yelled.
Kelou got off his seat, knocking it on the floor and putting his hand on his chest.
"What's wrong!?" Jaden asked.
"...I...I can't breathe!...My heart!" Kelou said.
"The Hell is going!?" Trixie asked.
"...I...knew it...I knew they would betray me...Henry...You Bastardo...I'll see you in hell...Emynx." Kelou said.
Kelou suddenly dropped on the ground, his eyes slowly closing.
Jaden and Ymarac just stood there, they looked shocked.
Jaden puts his hand on Kelou's pulse.
"...Oh God...GET DASAWERT, NOW!" Jaden yelled at Ymarac.
Ymarac, looking pale, simply nodded before she ran out of the room in a hurry.
Athena and her friends looked pale as they saw what happened.
"...Did he...just die?" Donald asked.
"....I...don't know." Athena said.
"...Those bastards!" Cirak cursed.
Dasawert showed up with a medkit and entered in the Interrogation room, beginning to study Kelou's corpse.
"...It seems like...he had a heart attack." Dasawert said in disbelief.
"How is it possible? He looked healthy earlier. His file din't say anything about heart problems." Jaden said.
"...I think this may of been the doing of the Legion actually. In order to silence him before he could reveal anything else." Dasawert said.
"Seems likely." Jaden sighed.
Cirak entered in the room and walked up to Kelou's corpse.
"...The poor kid had it rough for his entire life. He din't get the advantages that me and the other Omnipotents did." Cirak said.
Cirak picked up Kelou's corpse before he turned to Jaden and Dasawert.
"...I want him to be remembered as a Omnipotent, not as a member of the Legion of Crows. Got it?" Cirak asked.
"...Understood." Jaden said.
Cirak then walked out of the room with Kelou's corpse while the trio simply watched in shock.
"....They killed one of their own guys...just...how could they..." Trixie said in disbelief.
"...I really feel sick in the stomach right now." Donald said.
"....Me too....Let's...let's just go home." Athena sighed, looking devastated by the event.
Athena walked out of the hall before she was followed by her friends.
Back at the Swamp place.
Kross and Henry were currently standing on the Kheog ship. Henry had his notebook "Death Note" on his hand while holding a pen in his other hand.
"So, did you write his name in that notebook of yours?" Kross asked.
"Yes, I did." Henry said.
His notebook contained pages of people's names, causes of death and the hour of when their deaths took place. The new recent name in his notebook was:
'Luke Garcia: Death by heart attack at 6:48 PM'
"Good. That way, those fools won't get the full details about our plans." Kross said.
"I did Humanity a big service by getting rid of yet another dangerous unstable mutant. Honestly, I'm glad that he is dead and I was the one who got to kill him in the end." Henry said.
"But now, we lost a powerful member of the Legion." Kross said.
A hologram of the Black Crow appeared behind the two.
"Kelou's loss is indeed a shame. But it would of been troublesome to break him out of the ISP's base and especially him telling them about the Infinite Multiversal Hypnotism Plan. We can't let anyone else know of my master plan. Fortnately, I have found someone who could be a worthy replacement for Kelou's position." Black Crow said.
"Who?" Kross asked.
"There is a new Omnipotent of Fire in this dimension. He is the replacement of the original Omnipotent of Fire, Doged. If we manage to convince to come to our side, we will be golden. That's why I'll leave this to you, Henry." Black Crow said.
"You want me to convince another dangerous monster to join a organization full of monsters?" Henry asked.
"You are more human looking than the rest of us, so this would be much more easier to recruit him in the Legion. And also a opportunity for you to find out the names of the troublemakers who are making it hard for us to achieve our goals and write their names in your notebook." Black Crow said.
"It would be much more easier if my Shinigami companion wasn't such a lazy useless creature." Henry said, turning to a strange figure that wasn't there before.
The figure was a male looking creatures with black wings, pale skin, shoulder length yellow hair, with yellow sclera, wearing a black shirt, with torn up jeans and has goat hooves for feet. The Shinigami simply smiled in response.
In the next day, at Athena's high school.
Athena was sitting on her bench, still not being able to forget about what happened yesterday with Kelou.
"Athena?"
Athena snapped back into reality and noticed Martin standing in front of her.
"Oh, hi, Martin. Sorry, din't notice you for a moment there." Athena said.
"Are you okay? You look kinda pale." Martin said.
"...I...just saw something messed up yesterday. I don't want to talk about it." Athena said.
"....Uh, okay...though, if you ever want to say something personal...you can always talk to me about it." Martin said.
Athena immediately saw this as a attempt of Martin's to hook himself up with her.
"...Thanks, but I can take care of myself, Martin. But I appreciate the gesture." Athena said.
"...Alright then." Martin said, looking disappointed as he walked away.
Donald and Trixie walked towards Athena.
"Good morning." Donald said.
"...Morning." Athena sighed.
"...Are you still thinking about yesterday?" Trixie asked.
"How couldn't I?...I mean I killed a creature back at the museum but...I never witnessed a person dying in front of me before. It's just...hard to forget about something like that...And it will always remain in my brain." Athena said.
"You shouldn't let it haunt you so badly. Yeah, what happened was messed up but, atleast we did not get ourselves killed...so try to think about that." Donald said.
"....I suppose so." Athena sighed.
Athena got up and walked into the building, followed up by Donald and Trixie.
Zack, was watching them from the distance.
"...Seems like I'm not the only one in this town hiding secrets." Zack said.

THE ATHENA SAGA
CHAPTER 6 THE OMNIPOTENT OF FIRE
The chapter starts out at the Park.
Athena, Trixie and Donald were there aswell, with some high colleagues of theirs. They were sitting on some chairs and in front of them was a sort of a obstacle race it seems.
"So, why are we here again?" Trixie asked.
"To watch yet another one of Zack's amazing races." Donald said.
"We watched his races like 30 times by now. What makes this one special?" Trixie asked.
"Apparently, he is gonna jump through some fire rings!" Donald said.
"If I wanted to see that shit, I would go to the circus to watch some lions jumping through rings, not this crap." Trixie said.
"Oh, here he comes." Athena said.
Zack arrived and waved off at his fans as he puts on his helmet and got on his motorcycle and began his obstacle race.
He managed to jump over some obstacles with his motorcycle and wasn't facing any difficulty so far.
Most of the crowd cheered while Athena, Donald and Trixie looked unimpressed.
Trixie yawned.
"Can we go now?" Trixie asked.
After passing some more obstacles, Zack was now gonna pass through the fire rings. He speeds up as the motorcycle hits a ramp and passes through the fire rings. He landed back on the track and...there was fire on his shoulder.
The audience gasped at that.
"His shoulder got caught on fire! Shouldn't he stop?" Donald asked.
"I knew the dude was crazy, but I never thought he would be this crazy." Trixie said.
Zack continued going on, despite the fire on his shoulder. Eventually...it vanished.
This caught Athena's attention.
"The fire...it...disappeared." Athena said.
"Disappeared?" Trixie asked.
"Are you sure?" Donald asked.
"I'm sure of it, I saw it vanish with my own eyes." Athena said.
"...That's odd..." Donald said.
"Eh, probably just some special affect Zack added in to make himself look cool." Trixie said.
"Maybe..." Athena said, sounding unsure.
Zack eventually arrived at the finish line and his crowd cheered as they went over to him.
"And it's over. Let's go." Trixie said.
"Well, alright." Donald said.
Trixie and Donald got up and began to walk away. Athena, however, remained to look at Zack.
"Zack, how did you make the flame vanish?" One of them asked.
"Did you get hurt?" Another teenager asked.
"Nah, it was nothing. I just immediately brushed it off." Zack said.
Most of them just Wow'd. Athena din't seem to believe this and when she looked in the crowd, she spotted a guy who looked older than most of the teenagers and had white hair and wearing a purple coat. He looked a bit familiar to Athena.
Eventually, the crowd went away and the man with white hair approached Zack.
Zack looked confused when he saw the guy before he started to talk to him.
"Yo, A, are you coming?" Trixie asked.
"...In a minute." Athena said.
Athena just watched Zack and the guy discussing. Eventually, the guy walked off and Zack just stood there, scratching his head.
Athena walked up to Zack.
"Hey, Zack." Athena said.
"...Oh, hi, I guess. So, liked the race?" Zack asked.
"I guess it was cool...though, the flame on your shoulder...how did it vanish like that?" Athena asked.
"...As I said, I just brushed it off." Zack smiled.
"And you din't feel pain?" Athena asked.
"Nope. Cause my body is stronger than steel." Zack said.
"...Right. So, who was that guy?" Athena asked.
"I unno. Never saw him before. He gave me an offer and walked away." Zack said.
"What offer?" Athena asked.
"Why does it matter to you?" Zack asked.
"It doesn't...I'm just curious." Athena said.
"Well, you know the old saying that curiosity killed the cat? You should follow that." Zack said
Zack then got on his motorcycle and drove off.
Athena wasn't sure if she should take that as a threat or just Zack being Zack. She then remembered the holograms of the Legion of Crows and the guy with the white hair was among them, he was the guy who called her a mutant.
"...Oh God." Athena said.
Athena then ran up to Donald and Trixie.
"Guys, we have a problem." Athena said.
"What, was Zack being an ass to you?" Trixie asked.
"No, it's not that. One of the Legion guys is here. He talked to Zack and gave him a offer before he walked away." Athena said.
"Huh. What would the Legion want with Zack?" Donald asked.
"Obviously, they want to recruit another lose to their rank of losers. So, which one of the Legion dudes showed up?" Trixie asked.
"The guy with the white hair who called me a mutant back when the Legion showed up." Athena said.
"Huh, that guy...what was up with him calling you a mutant? He is hanging around with a group full of mutants!" Trixie said.
"I don't know...since Jaden hasn't contacted us in awhile, tomorrow, we should focus on Zack and the Legion guy. There has to be a reason why they want to talk to Zack of all people instead of looking for the Jewel...and it might have something to do with the fire on his shoulder a bit." Athena said.
"You think so?" Donald asked.
"Yeah." Athena said.
"I'm sure it's probably just nothing." Trixie said.
"If a member of the Legion is involved, it's definitely not nothing. Tomorrow, after school, we're gonna follow Zack. Okay?" Athena asked.
"Got it." Donald nodded.
"Ugh, fine." Trixie said.
Meanwhile, with Zack.
He arrived back at his house, which looked pretty normal for a celebrity like himself.
He got off his motorcycle and walked into his house.
"Mom, I'm back!" Zack said.
His mom, who had short blue hair walked up to Zack.
"Welcome back, Zack. How was today's race?" His mom asked.
"It went fine." Zack said.
"Oh, goodie. And you did accidently show off the...you know what, right?" His mom asked.
"No, mom, I din't, don't worry. Nobody will ever find out a thing." Zack said.
"Oh, that's good." His mom said.
"I almost forgot. Here." Zack said.
Zack handed over some money to his mom.
"This should be enough to pay off our recent bill." Zack said.
"Thank you, honey, but you shouldn't give me your money to pay the bills. I should be paying them with my own money." His mom said.
"It's okay, I have enough money left for myself. Just take it." Zack said.
"You're so kind, dear. Your father would be proud of you." His mom smiled.
"...Yeah, he would. Anything for dinner tonight?" Zack asked.
"I'll be making some spaghetti tonight." His mom said.
"Oh cool. Thanks mom." Zack said.
He walked upstairs and went in his room. There were some posters on the walls with a guy with brown on a motorcycle who resembled Zack.
Zack looked at the posters before sighing as he jumped on his bed and leaned against it. He turned around and picked up a picture which was on his desk. It was a photo of himself as a kid, his mom and the guy with the brown hair on the posters.
"...Dad." Zack sadly said.
He puts the photo back on his desk. He then remembered the conversation he had with the guy earlier.
"Hello there." The guy said.
"Who are you?" Zack asked.
"My name is Henry. And I'm here to give you an offer." Henry said.
"An offer?" Zack asked.
"Yes. You see, I am a part of a group who are looking for people with special talents such as yours. And I'm not talking about your motorcycle races, I'm talking about your...other talent." Henry said.
"...Wait...you don't mean..." Zack said.
"The flame on your shoulder? How it vanished? Yes, I'm talking about that." Henry said.
"...But...how do you know?" Zack asked
"We know a lot about you, Zachary. That is why we could require your help in a little 'mission' of ours. And it could prove useful to you and your family. What do you say?" Henry asked.
"...I...I don't know. I mean, I just met you." Zack said.
"I understand. I'll come back tomorrow then, after you finish your activity at school tomorrow. Don't forget." Henry said.
Henry then walked away while Zack just stood there, scratching his head, not sure if he should listen to the guy or not.
"...I wish you were still around here, dad. I could use your advice on what I should do." Zack sighed.
In the next day, at high school.
After classes were over, everyone walked outside and were going home.
Athena, Trixie and Donald were outside and were waiting for Zack to get out.
"Man, why are we seriously gonna follow Zack everywhere today?" Trixie asked.
"We just need to listen to his and that guy's conversation and find out what offer he has for Zack. We have to stop Zack from making a huge mistake." Athena said.
"Like as if he din't make enough mistakes already." Trixie said.
"Sh, here he comes." Donald said.
Zack walked out of high school and he looked around. He walked to the street corner and was waiting.
The trio hid behind a tree and continued watching Zack.
"Why is he standing there?" Trixie asked.
"Must be waiting for the guy to show up." Athena said.
They waited a few seconds and Henry showed up, walking up to Zack. Zack noticed him and turned to Henry.
"That's him. Come on, let's get a little closer." Athena said.
The trio hid behind a bush and listened to their conversation.
"Have you made up your mind yet?" Henry asked.
"...Yeah, still not sure. What mission are you talking about anyways? I need to know more about before I could help you guys out with anything." Zack said.
"Our mission is searching for a item that will help us complete a very powerful relic. A relic that could change everyone elses lives." Henry said.
"He must be talking about the Crown of Deity." Athena whispered.
"Most likely." Donald said.
Trixie raised her head a bit, looking at Henry, spotting the notebook in his pocket.
"...Death Note...that guy's notebook says Death Note." Trixie said.
"Maybe he is a fan of the anime?" Donald guessed.
"...Hm, probably not. Maybe that notebook could actually be a weapon." Athena said.
"Well, yeah, it is technically a weapon in the anime too. A deadly one. If that notebook is the real thing, we're screwed." Donald said.
Athena just kept listening to their conversation.
"...Find a powerful item, huh? Guess that sounds easy but...what do I get out of this?" Zack asked.
"You'll get anything you ever wanted. Once my employer has the item he needs, he will have the power to do anything." Henry said.
"....Can the power bring back people from the dead?" Zack asked.
"Possibly. Though, it's up to you to decide, Zachary." Henry said.
Zack looked at the ground.
"...Honestly, I don't know...I still have to think about this." Zack said.
"I see...I can't stay here for too long, so I'll need to hear your decision tomorrow. We'll meet up again...near your house. What do you say?" Henry asked.
Zack just nodded.
"Good. See you tomorrow, Zachary." Henry said.
Henry walked away.
Zack just stood there, watching Henry walk off and sighed.
When he turned around Athena, Trixie and Donald were currently in front of him.
"Zack, you can't listen to that guy. He is not good." Athena said.
"Woah! Where did you guys come from?" Zack asked, surprised when they suddenly showed up.
"Um...we were..." Donald tried to explain.
"...You dorks were spying on me, weren't ya?" Zack asked.
"...I...we...yes." Donald sighed.
"...What the hell?" Zack angrily asked.
"Look, we spied on you because that guy is bad news and you can't accept his offer." Trixie said.
"Why not? What's so bad about the dude? Do you guys know him?" Zack asked.
"Well...we...technically no, but you just can't trust him." Athena said.
"What is so bad about the guy? Do you guys know something that I don't!?" Zack asked.
"...Yes..but we can't tell you." Athena said.
"Oh, so you can't tell me anything, huh? Just like how you couldn't tell that you guys suddenly disappeared off the face of the Earth back at high school, huh?" Zack asked.
The three looked shocked.
"...You...you saw us?" Donald asked.
"Yeah, I did. What was up with that? What are you guys hiding?" Zack asked.
"We will tell you, if you also tell us what was up with the flame suddenly disappearing off your shoulder yesterday. What was that about?" Athena asked.
"I don't have anything to tell you dorks at all! So, I suggest you guys either back off and let leave my own life or ELSE!" Zack yelled.
Suddenly, the bush caught fire.
Trixie gasped.
Zack jumped when he saw that.
"Ah, shit!" Zack said.
"How did that happen!?" Donald asked.
"...I...I...just...I don't know!" Zack yelled.
Zack then ran off very fast.
"ZACK!" Athena yelled.
Zack ran off in the distance.
Donald just immediately got out his bottle of water and splashed the bush with water, clearing out the fire.
"Well, that takes care of that." Donald said.
"...What...the hell...was that about!?" Trixie asked.
"...I think Zack may have a power after all. I mean, the flame on his shoulder, the bush catching fire when Zack was ranting, it can't be just a coincidence." Athena said.
"So, he has fire power?" Donald asked.
"...A more powerful version of a fire power most likely..." Athena said, remembering the Omnipotents that Marick told her about once.
Athena turned to Donald and Trixie.
"I'm gonna go home and see if I can dig up something in my dad's files. It might help me find out more about Zack's power and tomorrow, we go to his place to stop the Legion guy from convincing him to join the Legion. We can't let Zack join them c ause if he does, he might get killed like Kelou did." Athena said.
"Got it." Donald said.
"Okay." Trixie said.
"Also, don't tell anyone else about the fire." Athena said.
Athena then walked off, going to her house.
Meanwhile, Henry was currently walking on the street, looking annoyed.
"Ugh, can't believe I was the one to get the job of recruiting a mutant. Atleast I won't have to talk to him anymore once I get him to join the Legion." Henry said.
The Shinigami being from the last chapter was suddenly next to Henry.
"I don't know, dude, maybe you two could become buddies. You could use a friend." The Shinigami said.
"Yes, because one annoying monstrous creature wasn't enough." Henry said.
"Meh, anything you say doesn't really affect me. Though, remember, when it will be your turn to die, I'll be the one who will have to write your name in the notebook I gave you." The Shinigami said.
"That won't happen anytime soon, Taq. Once I'm done working with those criminals, I'll purge the Super Powered mutants out of my world for good." Henry said.
"Whatever floats your boat. So, can we get some pizza now?" Taq asked.
Henry just continued walking.
"Guess that's a no." Taq said.
Back at Athena's residence.
Athena entered in her house.
"I'm back." Athena said.
"Oh, welcome back, honey. How was school today?" Jess asked.
"Okay...say, mom, dad wouldn't mind if I look in his pile of files right? I need to know something." Athena said.
"I'm certain that he won't mind. Nothing ever bothers your father, except of course the ones who try to hurt our family that is, like the Legion for example." Jess said.
"Okay, mom, thanks." Athena said.
Athena walked upstairs and entered in Jess and Marick's room.
She walked up to a pile of files that belonged Marick and looked through them.
"It has to be around here somewhere..." Athena said, tossing on the floor some files on the Neonytes, the Academy, the other crystals, the Graduates, the Mafia Meredith used to work for, the Millenium Rod and she found the file on the Omnipotents.
"Yes!" Athena said.
She opened the file and began to read about them. Originally, everyone thought there were only 12 Omnis in the 3rd Dimension, but it turned there were more in other 11 Universes, with many elements. The elements originated from the 12 original Omnipotents from another universe who's powers were basically the elements combined but during the invasion of Orpheus, the father of Erebus, they split the elements and spread them in the 12 universes and the other Omnipotents were born.
Athena then checked her universe's Omnis and spotted Doged's info, of him being the deceased Omnipotent of Fire who was killed by Kikez, a Neonyte, and had the power to control anything related to fire or even cause fires. He even had the power to control the Sun's Heat itself but thankfully, he din't have any reason to do it.
"...Hm...so, with this info...and with what Zack yesterday and today...I guess it's not impossible that he could be...the new Omnipotent of Fire." Athena said.
Athena then puts the Omnipotents file back in the pile of files before walking out of her parent's room.
"Zack may be a jerk, but he is not a bad guy. I won't let him make the huge mistake of his life by joining the Legion. I'll do whatever it takes to convince him not to do it. Even if I have to tell him the whole truth." Athena said as she walked into her own room.
In the next day, there wasn't any school activity happening.
Athena woke up earlier and got dressed up.
She got her phone and called her friends.
"Okay, guys, today we go to Zack's place and stop the Legion guy from recruiting him, okay?" Athena asked.
"Yeah, we got it. We'll meet up at the bus station?" Trixie asked.
"Yeah." Athena nodded.
Athena hanged up on Trixie.
"...I hope it won't be too late to convince Zack." Athena said.
She walked out of her house and went to the bus station.
At Zack's place, he was sitting on the porch, waiting for Henry.
Eventually, Henry showed up.
"Finally, you're here." Zack said, getting up.
"Indeed. So, have you made your decision?" Henry asked.
Zack just looked at the ground.
"...Well..." Zack said.
"ZACK!" Athena yelled.
Zack looked surprised as he turned around and saw Athena, Donald and Trixie running up to him.
"You guys again?" Zack asked.
"...It's them." Henry said in his mind, glaring at the trio.
"What are you guys doing here at my house?" Zack asked.
"Zack, you can't trust him. He and his friends will use you and throw you away like used toilet paper. They even killed one of their own." Athena said.
"Don't listen to them. They're being delusional." Henry said.
"Like hell we are. Say, remember your buddy, Kelou? I remember that you guys had a part in his death when he suddenly had a heart attack." Trixie said.
Donald looked at his notebook which was in his pocket.
"...And I have a huge feeling that notebook you are carrying with might of had something to do with his heart attack." Donald said.
Henry stepped back a bit, looking shocked.
"Shit, they figured out!?" Henry asked.
"Heh, they're smarter than they look." Taq said, who was behind Henry. For some reason, the others couldn't see Taq.
Zack just turned to the three, looking angry.
"I told you guys to stay out of this! Why do you even care!?" Zack asked.
"Because you are a friend, Zack. Even if you are rude to us sometimes, we are not that heartless to let you join the Legion and get yourself killed. I even know that you might be the new Omnipotent of Fire and that doesn't bother me at all." Athena said.
Zack looked shocked.
"...It...it doesn't bother you?" Zack asked.
"Of course not. I myself have powers. I can understand why you were hiding this from us. I also kept secrets from Donald and Trixie and I regretted doing that ever since. The Legion will doublecross you and only see you useful for your powerful, not for who you are. They are a bunch of monsters who do not care about anyone but themselves." Athena said.
This comment seems to have struck Henry a nerve.
"So, who are you gonna trust, a random guy who is a part of a group of bad guys...or guys whom you known for awhile know and actually care about your situation?" Donald asked.
Zack looked shocked, not knowing what to say or to choose.
"...I...I..." Zack muttered.
"Now, listen here you overpowered pieces of crap, stay out of this or else!" Henry called out, approaching Athena.
Athena just glared at him.
"Or else what? Your Legion buddies aren't here to cover your back and it's four of us against you. And we can destroy that notebook easily before you could kill us like you did Kelou." Athena said.
"...The four of us?" Zack asked.
"Typical superpowered mutant behavior. You all think you are above the rest and think you can play God with innocent human beings and use them as target practice for your twisted powers! Scum like you are the reason why I have this notebook, to put an end to the mutant scourge that haunted my world for years!" Henry said.
"...Mutants?" Zack asked, looking angry.
"...Um, Henry, maybe you should-" Taq suggested.
"SHUT IT, TAQ!" Henry shouted.
"...Taq?" Trixie asked, as she couldn't see the Shinigami.
"Why do you hate people with powers? What did we ever do to you?" Athena asked.
"You are a threat! A menace! You poisoned our gene pool and have upset the natural balance of power! You monsters destroyed many lives for your own sick satisfaction. Like those Omnipotents from my world! All of them are twisted monsters!" Henry said.
"Monsters!?" Zack angrily asked.
"Not all of us are the same. In this world, there are some exceptions, but we fight against the monsters that you described." Athena said.
"Yes, and we get caught in the crossfire all the time in your little superpowered wars. Someone must ensure the survival of our species before it's too late. And with this notebook, I can accomplish that goal." Henry said.
"Dude, you are a part of a group full of psychopaths with powers. You don't get to play judge, jury and executioner after that." Trixie said.
"Believe me, I hate those monsters very much, the only reason I'm with them is because that Black Crow guy promised he would help me get rid of the Superpower crisis in my world once and for all! And I won't let some sick monsters get in my-"
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Zack yelled, his hands catching fire.
Athena, Donald and Trixie looked surprised.
"Zack, you are hands are on-" Donald said.
"I know! This happens when I'm pissed!" Zack said.
"...So, you really are the Omnipotent of Fire." Athena said.
"Yeah, I am. Now, let's get this fanatic!" Zack said.
Henry just walked back slightly, pulling out a remote from his pocket.
"I'm not exactly like you freaks, so I'll let others do the fighting for me." Henry said.
Henry pressed the button and six robots were teleported in
"Have fun." Henry said.
The robots shot at the four.
Athena dodged the shoots and shot plasma bolts at the robots.
The robots dodged and continued shooting.
Zack sets one robot on fire and it exploded.
Donald used the hammer as a shield to protect himself from their shoots as he ran up to one of them and smashed it's head in, destroying it.
Trixie stabbed one robot in the eye and it collapsed.
Two robots charged at Athena and attempted to stab her.
Athena kicked them both in their faces and lifted them with her telekinesis and smashed them together.
While the fight was going, Henry got out his notebook and tried to get his pen, attempting to write Zack's name in it.
Donald immediately saw this and ran up to Henry, smacking him with his hammer.
"GAH!" Henry yelled in pain, as he was knocked on the ground, his notebook and pen landing beside him.
Henry attempted to grab the notebook but Donald smashed the ground with his hammer, right next to Henry's hand.
"Now you don't! Donald said.
One robot was behind Trixie's back and was about to stab her till a beam of fire hits it in the head and the robot exploded, courtesy of Zack.
Trixie turned to Zack.
"Holy shit, that was close. Thanks." Trixie said.
"No problem." Zack said.
Zack then turned to Henry and walked up to him. He grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and lifted him to his face.
"I'm gonna smash your face into a bloody pulp!" Zack said.
"Let go off me you freak!" Henry said, looking a bit afraid.
Athena ran to Zack, putting her hand on his shoulder.
"Zack, let him go, he is not worth it! You'll just prove him right if you hit him." Athena said.
Zack turned to Athena.
"Just trust me on this one." Athena said.
Zack turned back to Henry and dropped him on the ground.
"Leave. Now." Zack ordered.
Henry glared at them as he picked up his notebook and pen.
"You monsters will die eventually once this world gets the right idea aswell and turn against you. and I'll gladly watch as you super freaks get burned to death!" Henry said.
Henry was teleported out of there.
Zack continued to glare more till he sighed and turned to the others.
"...So, now you know." Zack said.
"Yeah." Athena said.
"...So, you did cause the fire in that bush? And that flame on your shoulder..." Donald said.
"I caught my shoulder on fire when I passed those fire rings and I used my power to make it go away. And I thought I wasn't get touched by the flames at all." Zack sighed.
"...How did you become the new Omnipotent of Fire?" Athena asked.
Zack sighed as he sat down at the stairs to his house.
"...It all started when I was a kid. My dad used to participate in motorcycle races and I idolized him a lot. Then, one day, during a race, my dad's motorcycle caught fire and crashed during the race...he din't make it." Zack said.
"...Oh God...sorry." Trixie said.
"...I was sad for months, including my mom. Dad paid most of the bills and mom had a hard time paying them all, especially since she couldn't make that much out of her job and she was struggling to make sure I have a good life. And to make matters worse, I was always getting my ass beaten by some bullies who always made my life a living hell. It was the most shittiest experience for me." Zack said.
Athena just continued to listen to what Zack had to say.
"...And...in one night...it happened." Zack said.
Zack's mind flashbacked to the night Zack was talking about. Kid Zack was seen sitting in front of his house and just looking at the stars, looking sad.
"...Daddy." Zack said.
In the sky, there was a shiny looking star or atleast what it appeared to be a star which seemed to be descending towards the planet...actually, it was heading towards Zack.
Zack's eyes widened as he moved out of the way
"AH!!!" Zack yelled.
And a small familiar looking idol crashed in front of the house.
Zack walked back and looked confused when he saw the idol.
"Huh?" Zack asked.
Zack carefully approached the idol and poked it. Nothing happened.
He picked up the idol, curious what it was.
The idol started to glow red and so did Zack, who looked shocked.
"W-What!?" Zack asked.
The idol shattered into pieces and Zack stopped glowing.
"...That was...weird." Zack said.
Suddenly, his hands catched fire.
Zack's eyes widened.
"AH, FIRE! AH-...Huh?" Zack asked.
The fire wasn't hurting at all. Zack moves his hands a bit and he din't feel in pain at all. When he focused, the fire disappeared.
"...What...was that?" Zack asked.
"That kid, was the birth of a new Omnipotent." A familiar voice said.
Zack turned around a blue transparent Doged was right behind him. He was wearing the clothes that he wore during his Omnipotent origin story.
"...Who...who are you?" Zack asked.
"I'm Doged, though you could call me by my real name, Dedo. I was a popular wrestler back many years ago before you were born." Doged said.
"...You..you are a..." Zack said.
"A ghost, yeah. Sorry for appearing like this, but this is the only way I could be able to appear in the realm of the living these days. I was dead for like 60 years or so now." Doged said.
"...60 years?" Zack asked.
"Yeah. I got killed by a lunatic alien with a claymore. And then I woke up in the afterlife, thinking it was all a strange dream and when I met up with Etianpug, I realized that it wasn't a dream." Doged said.
"...Okaaay...so...the idol and the fire...what was that?" Zack asked.
"Well, to make it easier for you to understand, I was the Omnipotent of Fire, one of the 12 Omnis of this world anyways. I became one thanks to that idol you just picked up. And now, you have the same powers as me." Doged said.
"...So, that makes me like a Omni-whatever you are now?" Zack asked.
"Yup. You can now control fire itself and even summon it. You can even control the Sun itself but I suggest not doing that, otherwise you will end up in a prison dimension like I did. I had" Doged said.
"...But...why? Why me?" Zack asked.
"Honestly, I checked and it will be awhile till the other guys will pass away and a new generation will become our succesors and so, I couldn't wait anymore and decided to find someone who will handle the job of being a Omnipotent. And that happened to be you, Zack. And I chose you because...well, I saw what happened with your dad and saw how much you were in pain, kid. And also you getting picked on by some kids who were being jerks to you. I saw how the rest of your life will turn out and...it's not pretty to say the least. So, to make up for that, I decided to give you the power because I feel like you deserve it. You can use it to defend your mom if she ever gets hassled by some assholes or when you are put in a fight against some guys who have powers like us but use them to destroy everything." Doged said.
"...I think I understand...but what should I do next? Because having those powers, what am I gonna do with my life?" Zack asked.
Doged crouched down to Zack.
"Honestly, it's up to you to decide, kid. You could follow your dad's footsteps and become a racer like him. And you could use my power to pull off some neat tricks. You'll make lots of money that way, enough to help your mom out." Doged said.
"...Me...follow my dad's footsteps?" Zack asked.
"Sure. And as for the bullies, don't let them treat you like crap. Stand your ground and fight them back, show them who is the boss around here. Don't let them step on you. Got it?" Doged asked.
"...Y-yeah. I got it...thanks...Mr.Doged." Zack said.
"No problem, Kiddo." Doged smiled.
Doged got up.
"Well, I have to go now. I'm on a time limit here, I can't stay in the land of the living forever. I'll get to tell Terra that a new Omnipotent of Fire has been choosen." Doged said.
"Terra?" Zack asked.
"She is one of the original 12 Omnipotents from another world. Their powers are basically all the elements combined into one. She was the Omnipotent of Evolution, basically the power of the elements we are based on. I had to go to her personally to ask her to have me name a successor for the Omnipotent of Fire and to give me the Idol that turned me into a Omnipotent." Doged said.
"Oh, okay...will I get to see you again?" Zack asked.
"Well, not sure. Possibly on the day when you will die, but it will be a long time till that will happen. Well, see you around, Zack. Be sure to use those powers well." Doged said.
Doged then disappeared. Zack, looking happy, smiled as he waved off.
"...Bye, Mr.Doged." Zack said.
It cuts back to the present day.
"...And so, here I am." Zack said.
"...Zack..." Donald said.
"...I eventually became a racer and made lots of money. Enough for my mom to pay all the bills. And I became the most popular kid in school. Being popular was the only thing that could make me forget about my dad's death and enjoy the fame." Zack said.
"....I'm sorry about what happened to your dad, Zack. We promise we won't tell anyone else about this." Athena said.
"...Thanks. Maybe you guys aren't a bunch of dorks after all...You guys are cool." Zack said.
"...Oh. Thanks. And yeah, sorry about your dad. I know how it is to lose a parent." Trixie said.
"It's alright...So, that guy Henry...he is part of a Legion?" Zack asked.
"Yeah, the Legion of Crows. They want to find a last Jewel which is on our planet and put it in a powerful crown that will turn anyone into a god. We have to stop them from finding the Jewel before it's too late. They killed one of their own members and attempted to recruit into their ranks." Athena said.
"Huh. Good thing that you guys showed up and stopped me from doing a grave mistake...though, now since I refused, they'll be after me too. Guess we are now stuck in the same boat." Zack said.
"Will you help us fight the Legion?" Donald asked.
"...I'll think about it." Zack said.
"I understand. We'll be going home now." Athena said.
Athena and her friends turned around.
"...I could give you guys a ride back home on my motorcycle if you want." Zack suggested.
The trio looked surprised as they turned to Zack.
"You are not joking?" Trixie asked.
Zack got up.
"Not, I'm serious. You guys can get a free ride back home if you want." Zack said.
"...Well, that would be nice. Why not?" Athena smiled.
Athena walked to the motorcycle and got on it. Donald and Trixie sit behind Athena and Zack got on his motorcycle.
"Alright, let's go." Zack smiled.
Zack drove off on his motorcycle.
They arrived at Athena's house and dropped her off there.
Athena turned to the three and waved off.
"I guess I'll see you guys tomorrow." Athena said.
"Yup. See ya." Zack said.
Donald and Trixie waved off before Zack drove off on his motorcycle.
Athena smiled, glad that they and Zack were finally friends instead of enemies and entered in her house.
Meanwhile, in the Citadel of the Legion.
The 11 members were in the meeting room, there was a empty chair where Kelou used to sit at. Taq's hands were currently in Micro's body, messing around with some wires inside and no one could see him except Henry...and Sin.
"So, you failed to recruit the young Omnipotent of Fire. I'm quite disappointed in you, Henry." Black Crow said.
"Oh, give me a break, that mutant girl showed up and messed up everything." Henry said.
"Actually, you messed it up by ranting to them about your hate for the superpowered beings. Good job on that." Cronos sarcastically said.
"Heh, told you guys that it wasn't a good idea to give the job to Henry." Seth said.
"Shut it, demon! Besides, I'm glad that we din't have that punk join us. He would of mess this up for everyone else. After all, he is a Omnipotent. The only thing that Omnipotents are capable are destroying everything around and ruining lives, just like any other freak with super powers." Henry said.
"Not all people with powers use them mostly to destroy them. Some of them use their powers for the 'greater good' by fighting against villains from other world and to protect the innocent. It is quite laughable when you think about it. Hastur and Verita used their powers for the 'greater good' and look where they ended up. Other people with powers sometimes use the whole fighting for the good of mankind as a motive to justifiy their reasons of fighting." Black Crow said.
"Are you insulting me by comparing me with those two maniacs!? Don't forget, I was about to get my emotions sucked out of me by that witch if you guys din't pull me out of my world at the last second! If you waited a bit longer, I wouldn't even be here to talk to you." Henry said.
"No, I have no intention of insulting you, Henry, or your goal. I'm in the same boat as you after all." Black Crow said.
The Black Crow leaned in his chair, looking at everyone else.
"It doesn't matter what the reason is for a war to start." Black Crow said.
"Religion, Philosophy, Control," The Black Crow started.
"Resources" It panned over to Cronos and Zhovet.
"Land" It panned over to Kross
"Grudges" It panned over to Henry
"Love" It panned over to Ate
"Knowledge" It panned over to Micro
"Greed" It panned over to Seth
"Acceptance" It panned over to Veronica and Sin
"Or even a whim." It panned over to Chameleon.
"No matter how stupid they may be, they're all reasons worth starting a war. There will always be wars, the reason for them can be dealt with later, our current goal right now is avoiding battles and harness the power of the most valuable relic that has ever existed before a war starts." Black Crow said.
"Nobody is listening to your long-winded speech! I've got my own way of handling things and I have my own goal, one that involves destroying the curse of the Super powered beings once and for all, especially the new 12 Omnipotents from my world! I have no intention of giving up everything for your organization!" Henry said.
"As long as you're affiliated with the Legion of Crows, you will collaborate with our goal. Once the Legion's goal is accomplished, your goal will also be realized." Black Crow said.
"Tch, you can act all smart and philosophical all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that the Legion only wants to make money! You are just like Seth, that's the type of reason for fighting I hate the most!" Henry said.
"True, our first goal is indeed money. We need to make money to get the resources that we need and we managed to make a lot thanks to our smuggle operations in other universes. And because of the money we collected, we have managed to make a army of robotic machines and build new weapons to defend ourselves. And even used the money to collect two Jewels of the Crown from rich investors. We have made more money than the Omnipotents of Jewelry and the ones from the 8th Universe. But, the Legion's true goal lies elsewhere. You see, my friend, once we find the last Jewel and the Crown will be back to full power...Conflict will cease to exist. And wars will be a thing of the past...and there will only be one single leader the entire Multiverse will have to listen to me...and that will be me. And you 11 will be rewarded for helping achieve my goal." Black Crow said.
Henry din't say anything more as he just turned his head.
"Now that's out of the way, we're gonna resume our search for the Jewel. Cronos, could you upgradge your robots to become more powerful?" Black Crow asked.
"I wish I could, but this is the best I can do with them. If only there were some Shades left around, I could get my hands on Hastur's technology and learn how he managed to make his soldiers adapt to anything a person would throw at them." Cronos said.
"Indeed. As for the rest of you, continue your search for the Jewel and be prepared when you will have to fight against the masked girl and her friends. Now that the Omnipotent of Fire is on their side, this will become even more difficult than before. Meeting adjourned." Black Crow said, hitting the floor with his cane.
In the next day
Athena, Zack, Donald and Trixie were walking to school.
"...So, have you made up your mind, yet?" Athena asked.
"Well, I thought about it...so, I guess the best thing I can do is help you guys out in this fight against the Legion of Crows or whatever." Zack said.
"Awesome." Trixie said.
"Jaden will be happy to know that another Omnipotent will join in his group to fight Legion." Donald said.
The teenagers approached the four.
"Hi, Zack!...Why are you walking to school with those losers?" A teenager asked.
Zack looked at the trio before looking at the teenagers.
"They're not losers, they are my friends. And if you guys have a problem with it, you can get lost." Zack said.
The teenagers looked at each other and accepted as they moved out of the way and the four continue walking.
"Feels nice being one of the popular kids for once." Donald said.
"Yup. Now no one will try to fuck with us ever again now that we're with Zack." Trixie said.
"This should be pretty interesting. Right, Zack?" Athena asked.
"Yup." Zack smiled.
The four entered in their school.

THE AMELL SAGA
CHAPTER 2-Investigation
It was a Saturday, The Sun had risen, Amell was up bizarrely early this day.
He got dressed, then grabbed the pamphlet out from under his desk lamp, and walked down the stairs.
"Hi Mum, I'm going out today."He said immediately upon reaching the ground floor, walking towards the front door and picking out his trainers from the collection of shoes, putting them on within seconds.
"Oh, where are you going, Amell?" Jess asked.
"Well, Today I'm going to Aid in Athena's Task of saving the world!"Amell grinned, strapping on the velcro of his first shoe.
"...And from who exactly?" Jess asked, raising an eyebrow.
Amell looked a bit confused.
"Um, The Crow Guys. Y'know. We were talking about them a couple of days ago..."
"Oh, almost forgot about that. Though, do you know where Athena could be?" Jess asked.
"Well, Athena's Too much high in the clouds training with professional Space police to really 'need my help."Amell commented, sounding a tiny bit bitter- before his voice and expresion took a more excited turn. "But I found a lead of my own that i'm gonna follow and when i learn what that jewel was, She'll have to let me help, it's a perfect plan."
"...Okay then. Just don't get yourself hurt honey and come back home before it gets dark." Jess said.
"Heh, Don't worry. I'm just heading to the Schzofield Gardens."Amell said, pulling out a pamphlet of the Magic show that was going on there. "If anything were to happen to me there, there would be a lot of people witnessing it."
"Besides, I'm never letting anything hurt me, so don't you worry ma!"He grinned, standing up and opening the front door.
"Love you, honey." Jess smiled before she turned to the TV to check on the news.
There was a missing person report,
a Image of a Girl with Green hair in a plat- one of Amell's friends- was visible on the TV screen- alongside this photo was a picture of a girl with black hair, purple eyes and a blue hoodie sitting on a park bench, and a picture of a black haired kid on his 3ds,
"The search for missing children Abigail Blake(13), Keira Rosley(age 15), and Ryoma Takahashi(age 12) is still ongoing- but the police have yet to find any leads other than a report from Abigail and Ryoma's family that they were heading to the Schzofields garden to watch a magic show- but had never returned home. When the Police investigated the Gardens they heard from multiple staff members and the Magician who was there that Abigail had left with a girl looking to be in her late teens wearing a winter jacket.
The Police have yet to disclose any information concerning the Investigation of Keira Rosley's dissapearance to the press, but we all wish these 3 children return to their families soon."
Jess's eyes widened when she saw that.
"...Oh, God, that's one of Amell's friends." Jess said.
Jess immediately got up and opened the door.
"AMELL!" Jess yelled out.
Amell was nowhere to be seen,
It wasn't hard to conclude he was already on his way to the Schzofield Gardens.
Jess sighed in anger before she got her keys, put on a jacket and got out of the house immediately, locking the door.
She immediately got in a car and drove away.
the Schzofield gardens didn't look too different over time,
there was a Memorial plaque at the gardens entrance for one 'Petunia Schzofield',
Amell looked at it, getting off a bus and looking into the garden,
right at the entrance he could already see several festival-esque stands and amusements were placed around it- the many flowers and plants growing in the gardens were miraculously undisturbed.
Several policemen could be seen throughout the garden, as well as a couple of people- some of whom attending stands, others just looking at the plant-life.
Amell walked into the gardens with ease.
"Excuse me, child."A Policewoman standing at the entrance said, Amell nearly jumped out of his skin, but turned around.
"U-Um, yes officer?"He asked- Looking over her,
she had light chestnut brown hair in a bun, a beauty mark on her cheek, and warm eyes the colour of the ocean.
"Do you have a parent or guardian with you?"She asked.
"..Why are you asking me that, i'm Thirteen. I can handle myself."Amell Pouted.
"Well, i'm sorry. Just, if you see anything strange, anything at all, Can you please tell any of the police here?"
Amell raised a eyebrow at her attitude. "..Why, did something happen?"
The Policewoman nodded. "People have...been abducted from here- we believe by a lady in her late teens, we're just here to make sure nothing happens here today. Don't let us stop you from enjoying this visit to the park, but if you see anyone acting suspicious, can you tell us. That's all i ask."
Amell nodded, a feeling welling up in his chest, as he walked into the park.
Eventually, Jess arrived there and walked up to the policewoman.
"Excuse me, have you seen a little boy with orange hair? He is 13 years old." Jess said.
"Oh, is he related to you, ma'am?"The Policewoman asked.
"Yes, I'm his mom. His name is Amell Vixerello." Jess said.
"Hmm. I did see a kid with orange hair pass here earlier."The Policewoman said. "I asked where his parents were but he just said he could handle himself. But don't worry, there's police situated all over the gardens. I'm sure we can guarantee his safety."
"I'm not so sure about that. A friend of his, Abigail Blake, went missing and I don't want the same to happen to him." Jess said.
"..Ah, yes. That's the reason we're here. To Make sure noone else is taken."The Officer said. "...of course. he is your son. I'll even help you find him."
"Okay." Jess responded to the policewoman's request.
"So, he went off through all those stands over there,"She said, pointing towards the series of stands
"Thank you." Jess said as she went over to the stands.
The Officer then pulled a radio out of her belt and whispered into it,
"if anyone has seen a kid with orange eyes, wearing a black coat, black trainers, and a dark blue shirt, his mother- a lady with brown hair wearing...is looking for him, thank you."
Once she said that, she hung the radio up and put it back on her belt, following Jess.
Jess continued walking, looking around for Amell.
"Amell!" Jess called out.
The Police officer looked around.
"Amell!"She called out as well...
...
Amell was a little further ahead, standing behind a tree,
he could see the magician on the pamphlet, wtih blond, wavy hair and calm grey eyes- wearing a white popped-collar shirt and light blue bootcut trousers with light brown boots- who was talking to a police officer.
"It's just- with what happened last week. It's gonna be bad for buisness, so our troop is planning on moving someone else sooner than planned."
"I understand your problem, Leonidas, But we can't let anyone leave until we know for sure what happened to Keira Rosley."
Amell's attention was grabbed by that sentence, Keira, isn't that the name of the girl who...
"..Yep, that was some tragedy alright, I feel for the orphanage, I even donated to them as a apology, i wish i could help, but i need to put food on the table and, you understand, right?"
Amell's eyebrows furrowed at that, as he moved from behind the tree, seeing the magician's tent behind them, he floated over them as they talked, sneaking into the tent without making a sound.
Jess and presumably the police officer arrived at where the magician and the police officer and walked up to them.
"Excuse me for interrupting, but have you seen a little oranged haired boy called Amell Vixerello? He is my son." Jess said.
"I've seen several Orange haired people today, but none of them little boys."The Police officer said. "Why, did something happen?"
"Not yet."Officer Jenson said. "But she is his mother, it's best they're returned to each other as soon as possible.
The Magician closed his eyes, as if focusing on something,
"...Nope, I'm sorry Maam. Doesn't ring a bell."He Frowned.
Jess sighed.
"He is gotta be around here somewhere..." Jess said.
She then looked at the magician and attempted to read his mind to see if he was telling the truth or not.
for some reason...she couldn't. instead of getting a idea of whether he was telling the truth or not...
the scenery changed to that of a deep, disturbing looking tunnel, that twisted and turned, with a suspicious liquid trailing down the floors.
Jess then returned back to reality.
"...Are you alright, maam?"The Magician asked. "..Oh, silly me, we haven't introduced. My Name is Leonidas Cailloux. But you can call me Leo, if you so wish."
Jess looked a bit disturbed before she looked at the musician.
"...Hello. My name is Jessica Vixerello-Summers." Jess said.
"...Vixerello, huh."Leonidas said, putting his hand at his chin. "Well, Jessica. I will try to help you find your son."He said
---
Amell was looking through the magician's tent, the interior was near identical to the inside of a circus, with seats all around a center, It didn't even look like it was inside a tent, and it most certainly looked a lot bigger than it seemed looking at it from the outside.
It was barren, and dark, a ray of light from the stage lights at the top shone down and illuminated the stage, leaving the chairs in total darkness,
he looked around and found a door, instead of a curtain, at where the performers would enter from.
He felt horribly uneasy, and walked towards the door, when he reached out to open it, he felt a presence, and pushed it, then pulled it. it didn't open.
he frowned, and when he lifted his hand from it's handle, it opened.
Amell's heart froze where it stood. He jolted around- not noticing a shape of a human with long hair had appeared in one of the seats,
A Gust of wind appearing in one of his hands, he slowly walked in through the door.
"Thank you. Do you know where he could be?" Jess asked.
"Well, do you know why he came here?"The Magician asked.
"He...mostly came here at the Schzofield Gardens to have some fun till I saw the news about three kids who have disappeared. One of them was Amell's friend, her name is Abigail Blake, she goes to school with him and reasonably, I was concerned and decided to come here to pick him up." Jess said.
"...I see."Leonidas said.
" Hey, by any means, Did Amell talk with Abigail during the day she vanished, Did he tell you anything about her, any concerns, or something?"The Police officer asked.
"Yes, a few days ago I think, Amell told me that she and that boy Ryoma are dating and she was gonna take him to the circus and that's it. I just found out today that they went missing, along with this Keira girl." Jess said.
"Hmm. That does line up with what we've heard from their parents."Offier Jenson said. "...Do you mind if, when we find him, we ask him some questions?"
"Okay, just don't push him too hard. All I want right now is just to find him and make sure he is okay." Jess said.
Officer Jenson nodded.
---
Amell walked through a Hallway that looked quite out of place. Numerous Drawings scribbled in crayon were pinned to the wall by nails, and there were several signboards and paintings of varying sizes hung up on the stainless, shiny metallic walls.
He continued to walk along, he could hear something that sounded like heavy breathing, his heart nearly stopped, his eyes widening, the lights flickered.
With each step he took, the hallway seemed to turn darker, eventually the drawings, paintings and signboards stapled to the walls started repeating, more and more of the same ones.
Eventually he reached a spot where everything in front of him was pitch darkness, all the paintings, childrens drawings and signs were stapled to the walls with such close proximity that the walls themselves were completely invisible
He could feel something was there in the darkness, but he couldn't see anything.
"...H...Hello?"He asked- his voice quivering. "...A...Anyone there?"
Jess just stood around, looking at the tent.
"...Is there any chance that my son could wandered into that tent over there? He is kind of a troublemaker sometimes." Jess said.
"..I think we'd have noticed someone walking right past us, maam."Leonidas commented.
"I unno, he did look quite small for his age."Officer Jenson said.
"My eyes still work."Leonidas frowned.
---
Amell took a step towards the presence he could feel, and suddenly, a Claw that resembled a paper mache seal paw shot out of the darkness, Amell Propelled himself backwards and fell on his back, screaming
The Creature pulled itself out of the darkness, it's thick, fatty paws had sharp claws attached to them, it's entire body looked like it was made out of paper and then doused in food colouring.
It's Torso and head were both the same organ, and both way smaller than the giant arms made it look, it's eyes were pure black globs of ink that occasionally dripped and stained the floor, it's spike-like teeth that lined it's mouth jutted out,
It had a tail that looked like a pluft of blood stained feathers, with chains jutting out of it's back.
"WHAT THE HELL!? OH MY GOD!"Amell Screamed, pulling himself backwards as the creature lunged at him again, he rolled out of the way and smacked it with some wind, the casing on all the paintings and signboards it smacked into exploded into several pieces and littered the floor, as ink dropped from it's eyes and stained the ground,
It Then Lunged at Amell again, roaring unintelligbly- revealing a giant ink stain where it had landed; that spread up all the pinned up signs and paintings and spread up to the ceiling.
Amell GOt himself up in the air and started flying for his life, screaming for help as the creature kept lunging at him.
"..Can anyone hear that?"Officer Jenson asked.
Jess's eyes widened, hearing his scream from the tent.
"THAT'S AMELL!" Jess yelled.
She then turned to the magician and angrily walked up to him.
"You better tell me what's going on cause I'm otherwise I'm getting in that tent and if my son is in there, you'll go to jail!" Jess said.
"What!?"The Magician asked, eye's widening.
Amell burst out of the Tent,
shortly followed by a explosion of Ink, and the Creature
"HOLY SHIT!"The Magician cried "What the Fuck is that thing!?"
Jess immediately used her telekinesis and lifted the creature in midair and smacked it against the ground many times.
Ink Stains Splatted at the Ground,
Amell Ran behind his Mother, crying.
The Creature's Arms extended, the Paper-y Figure's Claws Turned into a hand and Reached at Jess, Closing around her. While the Magician continued to voice his suprise and took many steps back to avoid it,
Officer Jenson and the other peolice office both took out their guns- they fired, Fountains of Ink spilling out of the Bulletholes left in the Creature,
another Arm Came out of it, and Swatted Officer Jenson away, she fell to teh ground, her torso covered in ink.
Jess used her telekinesis to stop the creature from grabbing her and using all her might, she tore the hand apart with her telekinesis before she focused on the creature itself, beginning to use her power to tear it's body apart.
The Hand- torn apart, continued to stain the ground with Ink, the Ink spreading to cover the entire area,
Voices of confusion and panic could be heard from behind them as more policemen joined in to fight the fray
"Franziska! Franziska!"Leonidas could be heard screaming as he ran from the scene.
The Creature's torn body started leaking a entire fountain of Ink, The Pieces of the Torn hand eventually started moving again, sliding on the Ink and Tackling into Jess- knocking her over- while the two remaining hands grabbed onto her, ink leaking from them onto her body- causing a..almost numbing sensation.
"Mom!"Amell called out, sending a gust of wind at the hands, it knocked the creature into the air, it hit the tent with a thud; sending it crashing to the ground and loosing it's grip on jess.
Jess then used her power to lift some trees nearby from the ground and launched them at the creature, impaling it's body with the trees.
The Creature's Body tore apart,
Each Individual Piece flew into the air- spewing ink all over, before it reformed- now with eight extra arms,
It's ink glob eyes revealed their yellow slit-pupils for the first time, looking over everyone that was their,
more arms sprouted, and reached out towards everyone, with finger-claws ready to tear into them.
Suddenly, a ligth blue shine washed over it, all the arms retracted into it's small circular body and it closed it's eyes.
Amell turned around to see Leonidas had returned, now with a lady with long purple hair covering one eye- the other- currently glowing- who was wearing a purple and black kimono and a set of clear crystals around her neck, her hands were in the air and glowing.
She Swathed her arms around,a portal opening in front of them, pieces of the creature's paper body slowly fell of, flying into it, more and more fell in- the light blue wave washed over the entire area; and all the ink began to be vacuumed into the portal, The Creature got washed up in the heavy force of the Ink being pulled and got pulled into the portal as well.
The Girl clapped her hands together adn the portal closed, one of the crystals now glowing.
"...Is...Is it gone, Franny?"Leonidas asked.
The Girl in the Kimono nodded. "Yep...you're all safe now."
Jess immediately turned to Amell and hugged him.
"AMELL! Oh my God, are you okay!?" Jess asked.
"Um.M...Maybe!?"Amell Spluttered out, Hugging his Mother as well.
Officer Jenson got herself upright and went straight into Leonidas's Face. "Do you have any idea what that was? What was it doing in your tent!?"
"I-I Dunno, I don't know what that was!"Leonidas Stuttered out, grabbing onto his hair and tugging at it. "That Horrifying Monster- How am i supposed to know what that was!?"
"...It's back where it belongs, that's what matters."The Kimono Girl-Franny, Said.
"...Man, My Tent got Totally Squashed."Leonidas frowned.
Jess then realized something horrifying.
"...Oh my God...those other three who went missing...did that thing kill them!?" Jess asked.
"...I don't think so."Leonidas said. "I was in my tent after Abigail left the Area, that thing wasn't anywhere to be seen. It had to have arrived afterwards."
Amell, while crying, turned to look at the girl in the kimono-apparantly called Franny, specifically, the crystals she was wearing as a beaded necklace,
he watched the crystal in the middle of the necklace, and as he looked at it, he could hear the creature's roar.
"It's true...we do have witness reports of Abigail leaving the Gardens."Officer Jenson said- looking shaken "...Whatever that thing was, i don't think it took her at least."
"Then what about the other two? Ryoma and Keira?" Jess asked.
"...That's...a possibility. "Officer Jenson said. "...After all, even if it wasn't in Mr.Cailloux' Tent that day, doesn't mean it couldn't have been hiding around this garden."
"...Fuck, man...What's that thing doing here..."Leonidas muttered to himself,
In the distance, among the clamouring civilians and panicked police officers, was a Girl with foggy grey eyes and Black Hair-wearing a Purple hoodie, she turned her back on the scene and walked away.
Jess just looked at Amell.
"I did the right thing here cause otherwise...otherwise...I really, REALLY don't want to imagine what would happen if I din't came here to get you." Jess said.
Amell didn't reply at all- still looking at the crystals Franny was wearing.
Jess turned to Franziska.
"Thank you for helping us out...Franziska." Jess said, getting her name memorized.
"Your welcome."Franziska said.
"...What's with those...?"Amell asked- still clearly shaken up, pointing at her necklace.
"...Oh, these crystals...They just look cool."Franziska said.
Jess looked at her necklace and when she spotted the middle crystal, she heard the creature's roar like Amell and she stood back.
"...I think I heard that creature again...from that crystal." Jess said.
Franziska held the crystal, looking at it.
"...Oh, that happens after times of high stress-auditory hallucinations are not a good sign. Right now, I recommend you both just go back home and try to relax."
"Officer, I trust you two can...try to resolve this"Leonidas fidgeted.
"Don't worry, we will."Officer Jenson said.
Jess turned to Amell and picked him up.
"Let's go home, honey." Jess said.
Jess went towards her car.
"...
Those Crystals..look like the Jewel Athena received."Amell managed to say.
"...received from who?" Jess asked.
"...She said it came from someone named Keira."Amell said. "...Those crystals the Kimono girl had...looked similar."
"...The missing girl?" Jess asked.
Jess then looked back at Franziska.
"...I honestly don't know what's going on, but I really don't want to know. Let's just go home and forget about this." Jess said as she walked into car and placed Amell right beside her.
Amell looked out at the garden, his eyebrows furrowed,
right outside of the garden, was the girl with foggy grey eyes and black hair, wearing a purple hoodie- staring right at him.
as the Car drove away from the gardens, she waved.
Jess just continued driving, not noticing the girl.
"...Hopefully, Abigail is somewhere safe and sound. And the other two ones aswell." Jess said.
"...Yeah."Amell said, clenching his fists.
"...I was acting like such a coward."He muttered- his forehead blue from the shock. "just running and crying like that."
"Honey, you couldn't stop that thing, even I couldn't. There's nothing to be ashamed. I doubt Marick or Athena would of been able to handle that thing easily." Jess said.
Amell didn't seem to accept that, just folding his arms and looking out of the window as they drove.
----
It cut to later that night, in a tent at Schzofield gardens- with a sign outside of it advertising Fortune Telling.
Leonidas, Franziska, and a Rather Buff looking man with no shirt and a handlebar moustache- who was wearing a apron and some thick goggles were in side it, multiple crystal balls and jewels, and native American looking totems situated around the room that looked too square to be inside the tent.
The Moustached Muscle Man was holding a crystal- his hands covered by thick leather gloves. He pressed down on it, changing the Crystals shape to a more traditional Jewel Cut- the exact same shape of the one Keira gave Athena.
As he looked at it, the creature's roar could be heard, sounding muffled.
"...Jesus...This one does not sound healthy."The Man Muttered, "But here you are, Leo- It should fit right in there now."
Leo grabbed the Gem, and- from within his sleeve- he pulled out a staff, with a thick golden handlebar on it, with multiple holes where things could be placed in.
"That stupid girl ruined my chances of setting up here for a while now- she just had to release that beast, didn't she?"Leonidas frowned, pressing the Gemstone into one of the bigger holes-Franziska watched- while seated on her knees on a cushion. it fit perfectly.
"But now the heat is on that disgusting beast."Leonidas said, his words taking a mocking tone as he said 'beast'. "Not us."
"What about Suzuki?"Moustache asked.
"She has wild tigers, not lovecraftian horrors, Myshtaski."Leonidas said. "She's fine too."
He Swirled the Cane around in the air, when he waved it upwards, an array of Ink-coloured Bats flew out, circling and him, he parted his hands and then clapped them together, the bats combined into one giant ink circle, which spiked and swirled around in the air,
he tossed the cane aside, and then span, ink making threads and a pattern around him, forming a giant ink spider web around him, when he stopped, the ink splatted against the walls and then faded away into dazzling lights.
He returned to his normal posture, a smirk on his visage.
"So we got nothing to worry about, Apart from her, of course."

THE ATHENA SAGA
CHAPTER 7 THE LEGION'S TREASURE
The chapters at Athena's high school.
In the cafeteria, Athena and Martin were sitting next to each other at the table, with a math book in front of them. Martin was currently helping out Athena with understand some stuff at Math.
"And so, the answer is actually 30, not 25." Martin said.
"Huh. Thanks Martin, glad to know I can count on you." Athena smiled.
"Sure, anything I can do to help you out." Martin smiled.
"Well, with your help, surely I won't get a F at this test. So thanks." Athena said.
Martin nodded.
Athena looked around and saw Donald, Trixie and Zack coming towards her.
Athena turned to Martin.
"Hey, Martin, my friends are coming right this way right now so I'll see you later." Athena said.
"Oh, okay. Good luck at the test!" Martin said as he got up and walked away.
Donald, Trixie and Zack sat at the table.
"Hi." Athena said.
"Sup. So, what was that geek sitting there next to you? Did you finally accept his feelings?" Trixie asked.
"No, Martin just helped me out with some stuff I couldn't understand at Math. Now, thanks to him, I won't screw up at today's test at Math." Athena said.
"Meh, I din't study that much. I'll be okay with whatever grade I'll get at today's test." Zack said.
"That goes the same for me." Trixie said.
"Not me, though. I definitely need to pass this test. I don't want to break my record of good grades." Donald said.
"...Yeah, sure, Donald. Live the Dream." Trixie said, rolling her eyes.
"So, um...besides the test, when are those ISP guys gonna call us to kick some Legion butt?" Zack asked.
"No idea. Right now are we still trying to find the Jewel and we haven't found that one yet. We have to prevent the Legion from getting their hands on it." Athena said.
"This would be easier if we actually know where it was." Trixie said.
"Yeah." Donald said.
"We'll probably get contacted right we finish today's classes so I wouldn't be too worried about it." Athena said.
"I guess. Finding some Jewel would be more fun than being at school, that's for sure." Zack said.
"Amen to that." Trixie said.
And the school bell rang.
"Showtime." Athena said, getting up
The others got up aswell and walked out of the cafeteria.
A few hours later, after school was over.
Zack, Athena, Donald and Trixie walked out of their school.
"Welp, can't say I'll get an A on this one." Zack said.
"Me neither." Trixie said.
"I unno, I feel pretty lucky about this one." Donald said.
"So do I." Athena said.
"Well then, I guess you two will be the only ones to throw a party when our grades come out." Trixie said.
"I'll invite you too just so then you won't feel lonely." Athena said.
"Well, thanks, I guess." Trixie said.
And their communicators began ringing.
"Finally, some action." Trixie said.
They picked up their communicators and answered.
"I'm gonna teleport you three on the base right now. This is very important." Jaden said.
"Of course. By the way, we have a new guy with us who will help us in our fight against the Legion. His name is Zack. He is a Omnipotent of Fire." Athena said.
"Oh, I see. Well, the more the merries I say. Alright, I'll bring you guys in." Jaden said.
Athena nodded as they hid next to a tree and they got teleported out of there.
At the ISP base.
The four were walking in the hall, going towards Jaden's office.
Zack was currently looking around his surroundings.
"Huh. This place looks neat. I always dreamed of going to Space." Zack said.
"Well, now your wish was fulfilled." Athena said.
"Well, now I'm not that hyped anymore now that I see it for myself." Zack said.
"Still cool though." Trixie shrugged.
The four entered in Jaden's office. Lyra was also there and Jaden was currently walking back and forth, talking with someone on the phone.
"...Look, look, calm down...um...Chetyra, was it? Could you describe me the thief who stole a piece of the tree?...You only saw him from behind?...Wearing a labcoat you say?...And he disappeared?...I see...well, I'm sorry child, but I can't exactly send out agents to go after any person in the entire multiverse who wears a labcoat to find a branch from a tree. So, once you get a clear image of the thief, I can help you then. But for now, I can't do anything about it." Jaden said.
Jaden hanged up on the person who was calling him. He turned to Lyra.
"...How are children from another universe now able to contact us through our phone in the middle of the Solar System?" Jaden asked.
Lyra just shrugged in response.
Jaden then turned to the four.
"Oh, you arrived. Good. So, the person with you is the Omnipotent of fire?" Jaden asked.
"Yup." Athena said.
Jaden shook Zack's hand.
"Please to meet you. My name is Jaden." Jaden said.
"Zack. Same." Zack said.
"So, what was the important thing that you called us for?" Donald asked.
"Ah, yeah, that. Now, prepare yourselves, cause this is a big one." Jaden said, sitting at his desk.
"Well, spill it out already." Trixie said.
"...I believe...we may have found the location of the 5th Jewel at last." Jaden said.
"Huh, really?" Athena asked.
"Well, about fucking time. Where is it?" Trixie asked.
"From the info that Yarim gave us, the Jewel is on your planet, buried in the ground, somewhere in the Black Forest." Jaden said.
"Huh, so it was next to Newrum all this time." Athena said.
"You don't suppose the Legion found out the same thing and got to the Jewel first, do you?" Donald asked.
"No, it's perfectly safe for now. They haven't found out anything yet." Jaden said.
"Then we better go look for it before anything else happens!" Trixie said.
"Well, of course, we can't let them get their hands on the 5th Jewel and complete the Crown of Deity! You four will go to the Black Forest to find the Jewel and bring it back here. You will be assisted by the Omnipotent of Steel, Mibyll. You'll meet up with him when you will be teleported to the Forest. Once you meet up, start your search for the Jewel." Jaden said.
"Understood!" Athena said.
"This shall be fun." Zack said, cracking his fists.
Meanwhile, at the Citadel of the Legion.
Black Crow, Cronos, Zhovet and the Chameleon were in a room. Cronos was holding a Neonytian receiver and were currently listening to Jaden and the other four's discussion.
Cronos turned to the Black Crow.
"It appears that your ticket to Godhood has been finally located, Black Crow." Cronos smiled.
"Well done, Cronos. See, what can't you be more like him, Zhovet?" Black Crow asked.
"Bah! Zhovet could of found out where the Jewel with ease too without the assistance of Neonytian technology." Zhovet said.
The Chameleon changed into Fawn.
"Yes, and you would of done such a good job too. Say, remember when you invaded that mansion a couple days ago, thinking that the Jewel was there?" Fawn-Chameleon asked.
FLASHBACK
It cuts to the L'aurlethe Mansion.
"JEWEL OR DIE!" Zhovet's voice was heard.
And Zhovet was gusted out of the mansion and crashed into a street pole, with blue flames on his armor.
END OF FLASHBACK
"Zhovet thought the Jewel was there." Zhovet angrily muttered.
"Either way, this will be your chance to make up for that mistake. You and your men will go to the Black Forest and locate the Jewel before the others do." Black Crow said.
"But what are we gonna do about those four and the Omnipotent of Steel?" Cronos asked.
Black Crow turned to the Chameleon.
"That will be up to the Chameleon. Your task will be to delay atleast till Zhovet tracks down the Jewel." Black Crow.
The Chameleon smiled and nodded.
"Now, begin your search." Black Crow said.
Back on Earth.
At the Black Forest.
Athena, Trixie, Donald and Zack appeared.
"So, this is the Black Forest?" Donald asked.
"Yup. From what I remember, Dad told me that this is where grandpa first appeared in this world and convinced Haraguroi the error of his ways and changed back into Akarusa." Athena said.
"Huh, neat." Trixie said.
"So, where is that Mibyll guy? Shouldn't he be here by now?" Zack asked.
"I'm sure he will show up...eventually." Donald said, being optimistic.
And Mibyll teleported in.
"Oh, here he is." Trixie said.
"So, you're Mibyll? You're here to help us to find out where the Jewel is right?" Donald asked.
"Yeah." Mibyll said...with a pretty monotone voice.
Athena raised an eyebrow.
"...Uh, alright...are you okay?" Trixie asked.
"Sure, whatever. Let's start looking for the Jewel." Mibyll said.
"Geez, what crawled up in your underwear, dude?" Zack asked.
Athena glared at Mibyll, her eyes glowing purple. She was sensing some negative from him.
"...So, Mibyll, what kind of a Omnipotent were you again?" Athena said.
"Of Steel, now let's find the Jewel." Mibyll said.
"We'll do that in a minute...of course, if you also tell us your non-Omnipotent name, aswell as about your family and when you joined the ISP. After all, you should know this...if you are the real thing." Athena said.
Mibyll's fists clenched in anger.
"Huh, what are you talking about?" Zack asked.
Mibyll turned to them...and his arms turned into steel and attempted to punch Zack, but he immediately dodged.
"WOAH!" Zack yelled.
"WHAT THE HELL, MAN!?" Trixie asked.
"I should of known...you are that shapeshifter who attacked the village, aren't you?" Athena asked.
Mibyll changed into the Chameleon, confirming Athena's statement.
"Oh, it's you again! So, back from another round of asswhooping?" Trixie asked.
The Chameleon was silent.
"...Why aren't you talking? Every time you talked, it was when you were shapeshifted into someone else." Athena said.
The Chameleon changed into Jaden.
"That's because I don't have a voice of my own." Jaden-Chameleon said.
"You're mute?" Donald asked.
"Why work for them? Why commit these atrocities and hurt many people?" Athena asked.
The Chameleon changed into Black Crow.
"Because, I desire for a normal voice. A voice which won't be confused for someone else's. For Years, I had travelled all around the world, wearing many people's faces and the only way I had to speak my mind, I had to do it..." Crow-Chameleon said.
He changed next into Micro.
"In someone else's voice while wearing someone else's face. I don't have a name of my own or a distinct feature. I was born with the power to change into the images of people whom I copied in my mind, and also their powers. And depending on what kind of a mood I am, I change. When I'm sad, I turn into this." Micro-Chameleon said.
He changed into Ponek.
"Or when I feel joy. I change into..." Ponek-Chameleon said.
He changed into Okail.
"This." Okail-Chameleon said.
"Or when I'm upset. I turn..."
He changed into Berserk.
"I turn into this!" Berserk-Chameleon said.
"Well, I'm sorry to hear this, but you can't just hurt other people just to get a voice. We're gonna get the Jewel and you're not gonna stop us." Athena said.
Chameleon changed back into Mibyll.
"Shame. Looks like I'll have to rip you all into pieces then. Now, let's get started." Mibyll-Chameleon said, as his fists turned into steel.
"Here he comes!" Donald said.
Zack summoned fire on his hand.
"Let's go." Zack said.
Meanwhile, somewhere else in the Black Forest.
Zhovet and a couple of Lovians were currently digging the ground. The Lovians were also wearing the same type of armor as Zhovet does.
"Hurry up! We don't have all day here!" Zhovet said.
"We're digging as fast as we can, general!" The Lovian said.
"Dig Faster! The Chameleon won't be able to hold them off much longer and if we succefully manage to get the Jewel, our chances of survival will increase and the Sun will no longer be a threat to the Lovians ever again! Now dig faster!" Zhovet said.
The Lovians began to dig much faster and there was something glowing in the ground.
"General, there is something glowing in the ground! It must be the Jewel!" The Lovian said.
"Excellent! Get it out!" Zhovet said.
The Lovians continued to dig and one of them puts their hand on the glowing thing. The Lovian pulled out the glowing thing and it was the final Jewel. It was blue and glowing with energy.
"WE FOUND IT! WE HAVE FINALLY FOUND IT!" Zhovet said, looking ecstatic.
"Is this the Jewel, general?" The Lovian asked.
"Yes! Contact Kross, tell him to get here cause we finally found the Jewel!" Zhovet said.
The Lovians nodded as they ran off, with the Jewel in their hands.
Zhovet turned around and pulled out a journal out of his short pants, along with a pen and began writing.
"Dear Journal, today it was a success. Zhovet finally found the Jewel when no one else could! The Black Crow will be pleased by Zhovet's success and once he becomes a God, the Sun will no longer affect the Lovians. We will finally be able to live peacefully without wearing those belts or armors anymore. Also, in other news, Kross won't stop calling me a retard. He called me that word twice. Note to self: Put feeces in his helmet and painfully torture him by cutting off his tail. Make time for that on Wednesday." Zhovet wrote.
Meanwhile, back with the others.
Mibyll-Chameleon charged at Athena, attempting to punch her.
Athena dodged out of the way and the Chameleon ended up smashing the ground.
"EAT THIS!" Athena yelled out, shooting a beam at the Chameleon.
Mibyll-Chameleon's body turned into Steel and when the beam hits him, it doesn't hurt him.
Mibyll-Chameleon then ripped a tree of the ground and threw it at Athena.
Athena stopped the tree from hitting her with her telekinesis and threw it back at the Chameleon.
Chameleon easily smashed the tree and Trixie attempted to stab him in the back with her Lance.
Chameleon turned around and threw Trixie aside.
Zack's hands were on fire and charged at Chameleon, hitting him in the chest.
"Come on, asshole, show me what you got! Show me what you got!" Zack said as he kept punching.
Since Chameleon was still in Mibyll form and in steel mode, the fire din't affect him and the Chameleon grabbed Zack by his hands.
"...Well, okay then." Zack said.
Chameleon threw Zack into the tree.
Donald while holding his hammer looked at the Chameleon before looking at his hammer.
"...Yeah, this will clearly not work as long as he is in Mibyll form." Donald said.
Athena walked up to Donald.
"There must be a way to stop him somehow!" Athena said.
Mibyll-Chameleon charged at Athena and Donald.
Suddenly, the real Mibyll teleported in and punched the Chameleon in the face with his steeled fist, knocking him into a tree and it collapsed on the Chameleon.
The four were surprised by Mibyll's appearance.
"...Woah." Trixie said, impressed by what just happened.
Mibyll turned to them.
"Sorry for being late. I just received Jaden's call." Mibyll said.
"Ah, so you are Mibyll!...You're the real thing, right?" Donald asked.
Mibyll looked confused.
"Of course I am the real thing. That guy, on the other hand however..." Mibyll said as he turned to the Chameleon.
Mibyll-Chameleon got up.
"Huh, you're here. Oh well...my mission is done." Mibyll-Chameleon smiled.
Chameleon changed back to his normal form and teleported out of there.
"Tch, coward." Zack said.
Mibyll turned to the other four.
"So, you guys are okay?" Mibyll asked.
"...Marry me." Trixie smiled.
Donald and Zack turned to her, raising an eyebrow. Athena just facepalmed.
"...Uh...alright?...So, the Jewel." Mibyll said.
"Oh, yeah, we're supposed to find it in the Forest before the Legion shows up." Donald said.
"Yeah. Well, where do we start?" Mibyll asked.
"Let me check." Athena said.
Her eyes glew purple and tried to see where the Jewel could be.
She was shown a image of where the Jewel used to be and the entire ground was digged up.
Athena gasped.
"What?" Trixie asked.
"...I saw the image of where the Jewel was once...and it's not there anymore. The ground was dugged up." Athena said.
"WHAT!?" Donald asked.
"That guy who looked like me must of been sent here to slow you guys down while the other Legion guys took their time to dig up the ground and take the Jewel." Mibyll said.
"Oh, I'm gonna set that guy on fire the next time I see him." Zack angrily said.
"Hey, Athena, can you find out where did the Legion ran off with the Jewel? Assuming we are not too late?" Trixie asked.
Athena nodded and she used her vision gaze. She saw a image of Zhovet and his Lovian crew, with the Jewel in their possession, still in the forest and heading towards somewhere.
"I saw some black alien guys carrying the Jewel and are still in the forest. They are probably going back to their ship. From the looks of it, they were heading straight towards North. We have to catch up to them now!" Athena said.
"Got it! Follow me!" Mibyll said.
Mibyll ran off and he was followed up by the other four.
They were currently in the forest, going very fast to catch up with Zhovet and the Lovians.
Suddenly, three Lovians jumped down from some trees and landed on the ground on their feet.
"Oh great, more distraction!" Zack said.
"From what I heard from Jaden, these guys are weak to fire so you can hit them with fire and injure them, but do not kill them!" Mibyll said.
"Huh, kay then." Zack said.
Zack shoot some fire balls at the Lovians. The fires got deflected by the armor they were wearing.
"Well, that din't work." Zack angrily said.
The Lovians charged at the five.
Mibyll dodged two Lovian's fists and he grabbed both their heads and smacked them together, rendering them unconscious.
Donald smacked the third Lovian with his hammer and Athena shot a beam from her gun at the Lovian, sending him flying out of the forest and landing somewhere else.
"Well, that takes care of-" Trixie said.
Six more Lovians showed up, with weapons this time.
"Get out of the way!" Zack said.
"We can't stay here and fight them forever! They'll take off with the Jewel by the time we reach them!" Athena said.
"Okay, you four take care of these guys! I'll go and find the group who have the Jewel! When you finish here, try to catch up with me!" Mibyll said.
"Sure thing, hot stuff!" Trixie said.
Mibyll ignored that last comment before he ran off and punched two Lovians out of the way, heading towards the direction Zhovet and his group were going on.
"I don't think it's gonna be easy going through them." Zack said.
"We fought against guys more tougher than them. We can do this." Athena said.
Athena then shot plasma bolts at the Lovians.
The Lovians dodged and shot at the group.
The group hid behind some trees and the Lovians continued shooting aimlessly at the Forest, hoping to hit them.
"These guys have the worst aim ever than the Stormtroopers." Trixie said.
"Well, it makes things more easier." Zack said.
He turned to the Lovians and focused on their weapons. Their weapons were caught on fire.
"GAH!" The Lovians screamed, dropping the weapons immediately.
"Now let's get them!" Zack said.
The four went out of hiding and charged at the Lovian troops.
Trixie attempted to stab one in the neck with her Lance and the Lovian kicked her away from him, knocking her into the ground.
Athena telekinetically lifted a tree and smashed it into the Lovian who kicked Trixie, knocking it into unconsciousness.
Donald was facing against two Lovians who were growling at them. Donald looked pretty scared but he smacked one of them in the face with the hammer before he smacked the other with the hammer aswell, knocking them on the ground.
One Lovian charged at Zack, attempting to hit him with it's fists. Zack grabbed it's fist and sets it's hand on fire.
"AAAAH!" The Lovian screamed in pain, his hand now melted into a pile of goo, leaving his handless.
Zack's eyes widened.
"Holy shit! I din't know fire could melt these guys!" Zack said.
The Lovian fell on the ground, unconscious after losing his hand and quite a bit of blood.
Zack just stood there, awkwardly looking at the unconscious alien before he slowly walked back.
There were only two Lovians left and they were currently being kicked and punched by Athena.
Athena then shot a powerful beam at a Lovian, destroying it's armor and hitting it's chest, knocking into a tree.
Trixie got up and charged towards the last Lovian, stabbing it in the neck with her Lance.
She pulled the Lance out of his neck and the Lovian fell on the ground.
"And that was the last one." Trixie said.
"Now we have to hurry up and catch up to Mibyll!" Athena said.
The three nodded and they continued their chase.
It cuts to Zhovet and three other Lovians who were with him, carrying the Jewel.
"Come on, we are almost at the ship!" Zhovet said.
Eventually, Mibyll managed to catch up with them.
"HOLD IT!" Mibyll shouted.
Zhovet and the Lovians stopped, turning to Mibyll.
"What!? How did you catch up with us so quickly!?" Zhovet asked.
Mibyll looked at the Jewel he was holding.
"So, that's the Jewel of the Crown..." Mibyll said.
"Mibyll!" Trixie called out.
Mibyll turned around and saw Athena, Zack, Donald and Trixie running up to him.
"Oh, you guys finished?" Mibyll asked.
"Yup. We're here to help." Athena said.
"Hey, guys, look!" Donald said, pointing at Zhovet who was holding the Jewel.
"That's the big and powerful Jewel that everyone was so desperate to find? It doesn't look so powerful to me." Trixie said.
"Acursed humans! You won't be able to stop us from bringing the Jewel to the Legion!" Zhovet said.
"Not if I can help it!" Athena said.
Athena used her telekinesis to bring the Jewel towards them...and ended up lifting Zhovet aswell right towards her.
Zhovet headbutted Athena in the face, knocking her in a tree.
"AH!" Athena yelled.
"Athena! You okay?" Trixie asked.
Athena immediately got up.
"I'm fine, but this guy's head is tougher than a rock!" Athena said.
Zhovet then smacked both Trixie and Donald to the ground.
Zack threw a big fire ball at Zhovet, right at his chest but it got deflected by his armor.
"HA! With this armor we wear, fire is useless!" Zhovet said.
His fist started to glow purple and punched Zack into a tree.
Zhovet ran to the three Lovians.
"You three stay here and make sure they don't follow us anymore! I will deliver the Jewel in the meantime" Zhovet said.
The Lovians nodded.
Zhovet turned to the other group.
"See ya, suckers!" Zhovet laughed, running off with the Jewel.
The four Teenagers got up and attempted to run after Zhovet, but the three Lovians got in the way.
"Damn it, get out of our way!" Trixie said.
"This isn't good..." Donald said.
"You guys take care of them! I'll go after their boss!" Mibyll said.
Mibyll immediately ran off, punching a Lovian out of his way as he ran after Zhovet.
"Oh, great, we're doing this again." Trixie said.
And three more Lovians showed up, right behind the group.
"Well, let's take these guys out again!" Athena said.
"You don't need to tell me twice." Zack said, his hands glowing with fire.
It cuts to a Kheog ship which was in the middle of the forest and Zhovet ran inside the ship with the Jewel.
Kross was at the pilot seat and turned to Zhovet.
"You got the Jewel?" Kross asked.
"Yes." Zhovet smiled, showing him the glowing Jewel.
"Perfect." Kross smiled underneath his helmet.
Kross pressed some buttons and the ship slowly lifted itself off the group and went into the sky.
Mibyll arrived there but it was too late as he saw the ship taking off.
"CRAP!" Mibyll yelled.
Mibyll got out of his communicator and called someone.
"Those Legion guys managed to ran off with the Jewel. I'll need some ship to go after them and find out where they are taking the Jewel. Okay, thanks." Mibyll said.
Mibyll got teleported out of there.
It cuts back to Kross and Zhovet.
"The Black Crow will be happy once he finds out that the Jewel is in our hands now." Kross said.
Zhovet nodded.
Kross pressed a button and the screen showed him Cronos.
"Cronos, the mission was a success. We got the Jewel." Kross said, showing it to the screen.
"Ah, excellent. You will return to the Citadel with it, I presume?" Cronos asked.
"Unfortnately, the Intergalatic idiots are after us now. If we go back to the Citadel, they'll track us down. We'll have to hide the Jewel somewhere else." Kross said.
"What location do you have in mind?" Cronos asked.
"I know a place in the first Universe where we can hide the Jewel. And if the humans dare to follow us, they'll find themselves in a trap where they can't get out!" Kross said.
It cuts back to Athena and her friends, who just finished their fight with the Lovians who were on the ground, all of them unconscious.
Trixie sat on the ground.
"At this point, there is no chance of chasing them down now." Trixie said.
"Guess we'll have to leave the rest up to Mibyll." Athena said.
"I wish we could of gone after them. Sucks that the big guy will get to have all the fun now while we sit here and do nothing." Zack said.
"Well, we should go and report this to Jaden." Donald said.
"Yup. Let's go." Athena said.
Athena got out of her communicator and called Lyra, telling her to have them take them back to the base.
A few moments later, it cuts back to Jaden's office.
"I see. So you weren't able to secure the Jewel..." Jaden sighed.
"But Mibyll is tailing the Legion members as we speak." Donald said.
"I bet the Legion guys will go into hiding with the Jewel and then join up with the rest of the Legion. If Mibyll will be able to track them down.." Athena asked.
"So we could sneak in and snatch the Jewel from their grasp? Right, I see. Alright, till Mibyll will report back with intel about where the Legion hid the Jewel at, you four can resume your normal lives. Once the Legion's hideout is exposed, we'll find a way to retrieve the Jewel." Jaden said.
"Alright." Athena said.
"Well, tomorrow we'll see our grades...so this won't be fun." Trixie said.
"I'm not worried." Donald shrugged.
"Me neither." Athena said.
"Let's just go home." Zack sighed.
Athena, Donald, Trixie and Zack were teleported out of there.
In the next day, at their high school.
Trixie, Athena, Donald and Zack walked out of their building.
"So...what grades did you guys get?" Athena asked.
"I got a C." Zack said.
"F...Yeah, I din't study at all." Trixie said.
"Well, I got a B. It's good." Donald shrugged.
"What about you, Athena?" Trixie asked.
"Well, I got a A." Athena smiled.
"Oh. Okay...You din't read anyone else's mind to get the answers, did you?" Trixie asked.
"No, of course not, I solved the test myself without cheating. A Vixerello never cheats. It's thanks to Martin that I got this grade." Athena said.
"Hey, Athena!" Martin called out.
"Speak of the Devil..." Zack said.
Athena sighed as she turned to see Martin from a distance, waving.
"I'll get back to you guys in a second." Athena said.
Athena walked up to Martin.
"Hi, Martin." Athena said.
"Hi. So, congrats on your grade." Martin said.
"Thanks. You help really paid off." Athena said.
"No problem. So...um, busy tonight? Cause I was thinking-" Martin said.
"No. Sorry but no. I know where you are going with this, Martin, it won't happen." Athena said.
"...Well, it was worth a try." Martin sighed.
"...But, I can repay you with something else for helping me with the test though..." Athena said.
Martin immediately looked happy.
"What is it?" Martin asked.
Athena puts her hand in her pocket...and pulled out 10 dollars and gave it to Martin.
"Buy something nice with the money I gave you." Athena said.
"...Oh...well, that's nice of you..." Martin said, expecting something else.
"See ya tomorrow, Martin." Athena smiled before she walked back to her friends.
"...Yeah, see ya." Martin said, looking disappointed before he walked off.
"Damn girl, you should of saw the look on his face." Trixie said
"Look, Martin is a nice guy and all but honestly, it just won't happen. I just don't have the same feelings I have for him as he has for me...apparently." Athena said.
"Yup. I have the same problem with the girls who keep fighting over me. They just won't get a hint that I'm not interested in them." Zack said.
"Let's go to the Diner and have ourselves a tasty treat now that we are done with tests for this week." Donald said.
"Sure." Athena nodded.
Athena, Trixie, Donald and Zack walked off.
Meanwhile, back in the Citadel of the Legion.
In a room, there was a laboratory and the only one there was Cronos, who's back was turned.
"....Heheheh, at last, I got it. It took me awhile but I finally got it!" Cronos said.
He turned around and a branch of Demeter's tree was in his hands.
"It's hard to believe that this branch contains the essence of the former Omnipotent of Life! This branch contains the key to save my kind from our doomed life spans! I'll have to test this on myself and if it works...then I will become immortal! And so will the rest of my race! Death will no longer be a problem and no one will be able to stand a chance against a powerful race of immortals! Heheheheh...Hahahahaha!" Cronos madly laughed.
Outside the room were Veronica and Sin, listening to his laughter.
"Oh, just listen to how he happy he sounds. He is like a kid who just discovered his gifts under the Christmas Tree." Veronica smiled.
"He is toying with a power he has yet to understand...immortal or not, there are fates far worse than Death itself." Sin said.
"Perhaps. But it will be interesting to see if it works. You could use him as target practice since he won't be able to die." Veronica said.
"Hm." Sin simply said.
Veronica and Sin walked away.

AMELL SAGA
Chapter 3-Trojan Horse
Franziska was kneeling on a purple cushion in front of a fireplace. her hands held out at the fire and her eyes closed, she was wearing the same purple and black kimono as before- but now she wasn't wearing the crystal necklace.
"idto feduj udamum umajamij, vacaij jkickij
dej ira locim fodokhuk uhsude, gia ladsoho laca"She Chanted, The Fire started to flicker and her sleeves and hair started to billow, the Flames Came out of the Fireplace, a Wind kicking the fire up, spreading it all the way to the Library's ceiling, The Candles in the room all started Flaring up, turning into massive plumes of fire
the Fire turned blue, then white, then purple.
As a Ember Soared past Franziska's face, she opened her eyes- her Sclera turning completely black and a purple crosshair taking the place of her iris as it turned and zoomed in.
The Fires all died out, the wind faded and her eye returned to normal.
"...I see...That's where she put it."She said.
Meanwhile, at the Vixerello residence.
Jess was currently sitting on a chair and looking out the window, trying as hard as she can to forget about yesterday's events but she simply couldn't.
Amell had fallen sleep on a chair, his 3ds lying next to him-completely untouched.
the News was currently reporting a incident where Presidential Candidate- Amila L'aurlethé had to engage in battle against a alien intruder.
Jess saw the news.
"...Oh, boy these Legion fuckers are at it again." Jess sighed.
Her cellphone started and Jess answered.
"Hello?...Oh, Eliza, how are you? Yeah, I'm fine. Amell is fine, a bit shook up from what happened yesterday but he is fine." Jess said.
Amell's eyes opened slightly.
"...Aha, yeah. Athena is now pretty much busy school and saving the world from some guys who burned down Kodama and apparently invaded Amila's mansion yeah...Oh, Amila wants throw another party? Well...considering how things are going right now, I'm not sure we'll even be there. You and Nicholas should come and visit us very soon. Bye." Jess said, hanging up.
"...Was that Eliza?"Amell asked.
"Yeah. She heard what happened at the Schzofield gardens and we appeared on the news so she wanted to see if we were okay." Jess said.
"...Ah, I see."Amell said.
He picked up his 3ds and turned it on, background music from a water level started playing.
Jess just looked at Amell.
"...I talked with your sister about the things she received from the missing girl, Keira, who suddenly popped up at her school and then ran off." Jess said.
"...Yes, what did she say?"Amell asked.
"...She said that Keira asked her if they met before and Athena she din't. Athena said that for one second she was in a circus and then back at school. Then Keira gave her the items and ran off." Jess said.
"...huh.
The Magician's tent..looked more like one of those circus rings."Amell frowned.
"Amell, do you realize how much danger you put yourself in by going in there? You could of gotten yourself killed!" Jess said.
"Well I'm sorry okay!? I wasn't expecting to find...whatever that thing was!!"Amell Yelled.
Jess sighed.
"Amell, you and Athena are very dear to us. Do you know how I and your father would of felt if you two ever got seriously hurt or worse? We wouldn't forgive ourselves for letting that happen. Just promise me that you won't do anything as reckless like that again" Jess said.
"...Fine, I won't."Amell frowned.
"Good...though, yesterday, when we were looking for you, I talked with the magician and attempted to read his mind to see if he was telling the truth...and then I was suddenly in a temple for a second and then back in front of the magician." Jess said.
"...Really? What's that about?"Amell asked.
"I honestly have no idea but really, I don't want to get to involved in it, and neither should you. I don't know what messed up shit is going with this Leonidas guy, but the parents of the three who went missing will surely sue him for what happened to their kids." Jess said.
"...But if it's his fault, Shouldn't we do something about it?"Amell asked.
"We're would need proof that he knows anything about that ink monster and if he let it out on purpose. And he would have his staff who would back him up so it would be his word versus ours." Jess said.
"But Haven't you guys dealt with bad people before, you didn't need to just use your words against them."Amell frowned.
"We did, but those bad people weren't celebrities like this Leonidas guy is and we mostly dealt with them in not-public places. Attempting to harass him in the view of the public would not end with good results." Jess said.
"I....I guess."Amell spat, looking a wee bit confused.
"I'm a little bit confused myself about this Keira suddenly showing up at Athena's school and leaving her with that stuff." Jess said.
"Maybe she knew she could count on a vixerello to help her out?"Amell asked. "Keira's one of the people who went missing, right-maybe she escaped and gave Athena come vital clues?"
"Maybe. But how would she even know about us?" Jess asked.
Amell shrugged.
"I really don't know what we should do. Do you think her parents would know more about what's going on?" Jess asked.
"Hmm...I don't know anyone called Keira, so I don't know who her parents are."Amell frowned.
"Well I'm out of ideas then cause I don't even know where we could even find Keira or how we could deal with Leonidas without getting in trouble." Jess said.
"...We could probably just try to find out more about her..."Amell suggested. "I Mean, it's a sunday, right? Just cause Athena has that stupid test today doesn't mean I do." "Okay. But who else could tell us about her beside Athena who just met her for like a couple of seconds?" Jess asked.
"...Dad? I mean....he has that prophets eye ability, right?"Amell asked
"Yeah, but he is not home right now. He is at New Dawn Labs with Malcolm and Sora." Jess said.
"...Then His Unigard friends?"Amell asked, his cheek twitching slightly.
"...Well, from what I heard...Zoey's parents are working with the Unigard...so, maybe they could help." Jess said.
"Yeah, A Visit to the Demon world!"Amell Grinned.
It was clear he was still shaken up about the incident yesterday, and simply trying to push it aside.
"...Yeah. Plus, that glitchy thin that is responsible for Fawn summoning a entire race of herself is also there so, we could use the Paradox computer to find out more about Keira and this Leonidas guy." Jess said.
"Well yeah, that too."Amell said, less excited about it.
Jess turned to Ark who was sitting there next to Leon.
"Hey, Ark, could you open a portal to the demon world for us?" Jess asked.
Ark simply nodded as he opened a portal for Jess and Amell.
Amell looked through it, popping his head through the portal, startling some random demon who was trying to eat their breakfast.
Jess looked through the portal aswell before popping her head out and looking at Ark.
"...Um, a portal to the Tartarus temple instead." Jess said.
Ark closed the portal and opened another one leading to the Tartarus temple.
Jess held Amell's hand as they went through the portal and it closed.
They were currently in a dark room, with some portraits on the walls. Behind them was a coffin and the sound of someone snoring inside it was heard.
Amell looked at all of the portraits, turning in spot as he did so.
"..Wow."He said.
One of the portraits features Lucius and his parents.
Jess turned to look at the coffin.
"...This must be the Vampire's room. We should get out of here before we wake him up and decides to drink our blood." Jess said.
"Aw,I always wanted to see a vampire." Amell frowned- as they left the room.
They walked around the temple a bit, and reached another room.
Jess slowly opened the door and peered her head in.
The room had a shitload of objects from the past and future and Trojan was sitting at his Paradox computer, looking at multiple places on the his screen.
Amell picked up some a sceptre, Segye's sceptre.
"Psst, mom, Look at this thing."He whispered to her, waving it about.
Jess looked at the sceptre, raising an eyebrow at it.
"...I think Marick said something about Amila's grandfather using it to eliminate all Omnipotents and other creatures out there." Jess said.
"Indeed. And I suggest you drop it cause it will be put back to where it was and it will be burned into ashes." Trojan said, without turning to them.
Amell pouted. "Lame."He said, putting it to the floor.
The scepter eventually disappeared.
Jess walked into the room, walking up to Trojan.
"So, I assume you know why we are here?" Jess asked.
"Yup. You are looking for answers about what happened yesterday." Trojan said. His computer screen showed him some footages of the Citadel of Crows, the Schzofield Gardens, Kross and his Kheog soldiers in the first dimension AKA Okail and Emynx's world and other footages.
"So...you got any?"Amell asked- his eyes looking over to the Kheog soldiers in the first dimension. Kross had the Jewel with him and was currently for somewhere to hide it before they eventually walked off.
"Depends on who or where you want me too look at." Trojan said.
"Well, show us where Keira is." Jess said.
Trojan just pressed the buttons and the footage of the Kheogs changes to where Keira is.
It static'd out, there were sounds of something exploding, and then a tab opened up, showing Keira walking down a road,
then another tab opened up, showing the same thing, then another, but this time Keira had blood stained shoes, then another, this time showing absolutely nothing, then another, showing a closeup of her foggy, sky-grey eyes then another, showing a girl with straight black hair and purple eye- in a hallway stained with ink, blood mixing into the ink under her neck.
Then more and more and more popped up, eventually a pop up appeared.
'Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error'
"Ah, F Nuggets!" Trojan said, as he slammed the computer and all the tabs disappeared.
"Well, that went fantastically well." Trojan said.
"...I...guess." Jess said, looking a bit freaked out.
"...Has that..happened before?"Amell asked.
another Tab opened up, showing the three looking at the computer, as though it was being recorded by the monitor, behind them, Keira was standing at the door.
Amell- seeing this turned around, only to not see anyone there at all.
"...Definitely not." Trojan said.
Jess turned around and din't see Keira.
"...Okaaay...so...show us Abigal and her boyfriend Ryoma." Jess suggested.
Trojan just pushed a button and a tab showing the mentioned two appeared.
Ryoma was...not there, all that was seen as a screen of a Fireplace, with multiple jewels hanging as ornaments above it.
With Abigail, a tab of her lying on a bed- in a foggy house,looking to be asleep- the cracks on the walls concealed with photographs of trees and flora.
"...There's Abbie."Amell said. "But..I don't see Ryoma."
"Where is she now?" Jess asked.
"In some house." Trojan said.
"Who's house?" Jess asked.
Trojan simply shrugged in response.
"Can you try zooming out?"Amell asked.
Trojan tried that.
It showed a house...
in the middle of nowhere, a pure white expanse- the only things on the screen at all where the grayscale house and the fog coming out of all of it's windows.
"...Is she is another world there or something?" Jess asked.
"It does look a bit similar to the White Expanse but that's just me guessing." Trojan said.
"...White Expanse? What's that?"Amell asked.
"A different afterlife where you will find lots of people sleeping except for Fawn and her friend who was your dad's student and remained there forever after a incident." Trojan said.
"...There has to be more people than just those two."Amell frowned. "If it's a afterlife- I mean."
"Well, go check it for yourself once you get out of here. So, anyone else you want me to check on?" Trojan asked.
"Yes. Show me the magician Leonidas." Jess said.
Trojan opened a tab that showed Leonidas.
Leonidas was waving a cane around in what looked like the same room Ryoma's tab showed,Doves and Fireworks coming out of it as he twirled. A Muscular man in a Moustache and a blonde lady dressed like a typical animal tamer one would find at a cirus were both watching, the man more interested than the lady- who was busy watching the ceiling.
"...That room looks like the same one in Ryoma's tab...I'm getting more suspicious about this guy the more I see him." Jess said.
"...Did they throw Ryoma into the fireplace?"Amell asked.
"...Possibly. Try zooming into the fireplace." Jess suggested.
Trojan zoomed into the fireplace.
It looked like a standard old Fireplace, No Sign of anyone there.
"Hm...guess not." Jess said.
"So, anything else?" Trojan asked.
"...Well...I suppose it wouldn't hurt if we saw the footage of what happened during the last Circus show where Abigail and Ryoma were at. We would probably be able to get a clear image of what happened to them." Jess said.
"Yeah, you should do that."
"...And who the hell was that?" Jess asked.
"Probably the girl." Trojan guessed, not looking freaked out.
"...And..why, is she talking to us?"Amell asked.
"Ask her yourself." Trojan said.
"...Um, Keira...are you there?" Jess randomly asked.
"...I'm here. If that's what your asking."
"...Why are you here?"Amell asked.
"I'm just watching you, don't worry. I won't be here long."
"...Well, okay...so, I have a couple of questions I want to ask of you. Like...why did you show up at my daughter's school and give her those things?" Jess asked.
"I didn't want them...I didn't want any of them to have them either."
"Okay...and also, that ink creature from yesterday...where did it come from? And is it connected to Leonidas?" Jess asked.
"...Yes,definitely."
"...What did he do to you and those other two?" Jess asked.
"...I'll let you figure that one out on your own."
Her Presence vanished.
Jess just stared a bit before she turned to Trojan.
"Well, play the footage" Jess said.
Trojan opened a tab, showing the circus show that Abbie and Ryoma went to.
Leonidas was doing a magic show involving a large amount of doves,
There was a Black Haired girl with Purple eyes in the crowd, Abbie and Ryoma were both at front seats.
"Nothing odd so far."Amell said.
Jess just continued watching.
then there was a blonde animal tamer, showing her tiger's tricks, making seals jump through hoops of fire, all that stuff,
then Mishtaski- a Muscular man, who was holding a entire iron statue of himself with only his finger..
eventually, the crowd dispersed... Abigail and Ryoma- upon walking towards the stairs- completely vanished from the screen- which froze for about a millisecond.
...
Eventually it emptied out, a couple of hours pass, A Black haired girl in a beige coat bursts out of a curtain, dragging Abigail by her wrist towards the exit.
"That's Keira!"Amell called out.
"W-Wait, Who, Who are you?"Abigail could be heard calling, as a Wave of Doves shot out of the curtain,
"Just call me Sandra!"...Keira... said back to her, calmly, as- the video glitched, pausing and rewinding, then playing A Shot of A person entering the circus in slow motion
then it cut to the end of the video, there was a single dove left over as Leonidas Garbled something out, on his knees and looking to be in pain.
The video closed itself.
"...Sandra?" Jess asked.
"..Hold on..."Amell frowned."..When you looked for Keira...wasn't there another girl that appeared?"Amell asked.
"...Yeah, she did. But what could it mean?" Jess asked.
"...I...I don't know."Amell said.
It cut back to the Vixerello house, one of the window's in Jess's Room was open, several different parrots and macaws were perched on the windowsill, 5 more flying around the room.
The Animal Tamer was in the room- wearing a Grey Hoodie and some Grey sweatpants instead of her uniform- as well as leather gloves, her sharp face, beauty mark, red eyes and short blonde hair where her only recgonizable features, she opened the door and walked out into the second floor hallway without making a sound- the birds following her just as quietly.
She opened Athena's door, it creaked slightly, The Lady tensed up at that- and then made her way to Athena's desk.
She opened it, seeing the flowers, and the completely scribbled over note.
"Oh..That bitch...What did she do."The Lady muttered, pulling the Note and the Flowers out.
"...Wha...Where's the key..? And the Gem..!? Oh fuck...Franziska's gonna be so pissed. It's gotta...She saw it in this room, it has to be in this room"She muttered- getting on her knees and opening another of Athena's drawers, then the next one,
"...And who are you?" A voice asked.
It was Athena, who was standing at the door, she did not look happy.
"Urk!"The Lady Jumped, banging her head on the open drawer and then Jumping upwards, "...Fuck...Gotta go!"She Exclaimed, Running past her- Pushing her to the ground as she ran down the stairs,
the second she reached the stairs, someone not visible from where Athena was Smacked her with a Chair, Sending her sprawling to the floor,
that person then walked past the stairs- heading towards the lady they just sent flying, with their messy black hair and foggy grey eyes it was clear who they were at a glance.
Athena got up and immediately saw the person and looked surprised.
"...You." Athena said, looking surprised.
"...Hello."She said. "...Athena, this Lady is Called Chihara Suzuki. Those birds up there that are about to try to peck your eyes out are hers, might want to avoid them."
The Birds then flew out of The Parents Bedroom and started Swirling around Athena and Pecking and Clawing at her.
Ark and Leon stepped in and attacked the birds.
Leon jumped and grabbed some birds with his mouth and ate them and Ark grabbed the other birds with his mouth and did the same thing as Leon.
Other Birds then Proceeded to Attack Ark and Leon, Clawing at them and Grabbing parts of them with their beaks and trying to break them into pieces.
Athena shot plasma bolts out of her gun at the birds attacking Ark and Leon and knocked them into the wall.
She then aimed her gun at Chihara.
"...Leave...now." Athena demanded.
Chihara then started backing away,
"...You just..Fucking ate...my Birds..."She Whimpered. "...You..."
...Keira... Then Smacked her with the Chair again, Knocking her down again, before she could get up, Keira brought the chair down on Chihara's face again, leaving a giant welt on her cheek, one more hit with the Chair and it broke apart, Chihara hit her a few more times with the chair leg she was holding, and Chihara eventually stopped moving.
Athena walked up to Keira.
"...You did not kill her, did you?" Athena asked.
"..It's a chair." ...Keira...said, throwing it away, then grabbing Chihara's Legs. "Even if I did, that's just saving you some time."
with that, she started to drag the unconscious lady out of the house.
Athena ran out of her house and catched up with Keira.
"Keira, hold on, I need some answers here!" Athena yelled out.
"...Hmm. What do you want answered?"Keira asked.
"Well, for starters: Could this lady be connected to a organization of bad guys known as the Legion of Crows? It might one of the reasons she showed up here at my house." Athena asked.
"...
Legion of Crows?...
I doubt it."Keira said.
"Okay. I guess my next question is how are you involved in this? You gave me those random items for a reason back at school and Chihara seemed to be looking for them." Athena said.
"...
They should've have any of those items."...Keira... Said. "I was hoping they wouldn't look here, but it seems your families involved now too."
"Yeah, my family is now involved in lots of stuff right now. Including what happened yesterday at the garden. What is the magician guy up to?" Athena asked.
Keira shrugged. "Whatever it is. It's not good."
with that, she and Chihara...faded away as she dragged her out of the area.
Athena just sighed as she walked back into her house...and Marick was suddenly there. Athena din't look surprised, guessing that Ark contacted him.
"...Well, that escalated quickly." Marick stated.
"Yup." Athena said.
"I'm a bit surprised that the Black Crow wasn't behind this attack. I thought about getting involved but you and Keira managed to handle this on your own pretty well." Marick said.
"Yeah. Where are mom and Amell at?" Athena asked.
"They are in the demon world, they were looking for answers with Trojan's help. They most likely have a good idea about who was person who came into our house." Marick said.
It cuts back to the Demon world and Trojan opened a tab to the Vixerello residence.
"...So, someone decided to pay a visit to your house." Trojan began.
"...And broke one of our dinner chairs."Amell said. "Ha! Athena has to stand while eating Now!"
"...Who was it?" Jess asked.
"It was one of Leonidas's cronies, Chihara. She broke into your house to look for the items Keira gave her. Keira showed up and helped her. And then dragged Chihara out of there." Trojan said.
"...That magician has a lot to answer for once I get my hands on him." Jess angrily said.
"Oh man he's in for it."Amell Smiled.
"If you guys are finished here, I'll send you back to your house." Trojan said.
"Fine." Jess said.
Trojan pressed a button and Jess and Amell were back in their house, in front of Marick and Athena.
"Ah, you're back." Marick said.
"Yeah. Athena, are you okay?" Jess asked.
"Yeah, I am...a bit confused, but I'm fine." Athena said.
"...I don't trust that girl."Amell said- his eyes drawn to the remains of the chair.
"Well, she did help me out against Chihara so...she is probably not that bad." Athena said.
"...In one of these days, I'm gonna pay a visit to Harry Porker and ask him some questions and he better answer if he knows what's good for him!" Jess angrily said.
"Will you require my help when you will go and visit him? I know you can handle yourself but I don't want you to get hurt." Marick said.
"I'm sure I can handle a phony and his group of charlatans." Jess said.
Amell continued to look at the chair. Zoning out of their conversation.
In a white Expanse, the only thing the Girl could see as she dragged Chihara's unconscious form was a house with fog spewing out of every window.
She walked towards it, opening the door, and dragging Chihara in.
A Few Birds appeared in the house as soon as Chihara was dragged in, just sitting on the window-sills or paused in the act of flying across the air,
The Girl threw Chihara onto the Chair. then pulled some rope out and tied her hands behind her back.
She then walked upstairs, and entered the only room on the second floor, a bedroom that Abigail was sleeping in.
"I'm home."She said to the sleeping girl, who didn't respond at all.

THE ATHENA SAGA
CHAPTER 8 INVADING THE FORT
The chapters start out in the ISP Base.
Athena(in her Shadow girl costume), Trixie, Leon, Donald and Zack were in the training area, in front of Cirak.
"Good morning, you muppets! Today we're gonna have our next training session. Trapeze!" Cirak said, pointing at a apparatus with cables.
"You dick sprinkles are gonna love this. Finally, you get the chance to show off how fucking fabulous you are while hanging gracefully in the air. This better look like riverdance performed by Broadway's finest douchebags. I wanna see you fairies sparkle and shit glutterdust while balancing. If this doesn't look like Peter fucking Pan performed by a cast of cirque de soleil on a erotic ecstasy fueled cruise ship, so help me GOD I will personally murder each and every one of you!" Cirak said.
Donald just gulped.
Zack whispered in Trixie's ear.
"Well, this guy is the life of the party." Zack said.
"What was that, Omni-Maggot!?" Cirak asked.
"Uh...I said that this will be a interesting training session...sir." Zack said.
"Well, since you are so fucking interested, you should be the first one to give it a shit, Private! Now go and attach yourself to those cables and you'll be lifted up and you have to try and maintain your balance, capache!?" Cirak asked.
"Yes, sir." Zack said, rolling his eyes.
Zack was the first one to do the task and managed to balance with ease, without any difficulty.
"Alright, Private Omni passes the test! Now it's your turn, Private Pig tails!" Cirak said.
"Kay." Trixie said.
Trixie was next and had a bit of difficulty till she managed to maintain her balance.
"Okay, I got this!" Trixie said.
"You pass, private Brown, go ahead!" Cirak said.
Athena put the cables on herself and when she got lifted, she had no problems with maintaining her balance and was doing pretty well.
"Private Brown, you pass! Now last but not least, Private Dough!" Cirak said.
"Oh God..." Donald said.
Donald walked up to the apparatus and puts on the cables. While he was being lifted, he immediately lost balance and wrapped himself in the cables and was now hanging upside down.
"Oh man." Trixie said, facepalming.
"Oh no, no, no." Donald said.
"Private Dough, what the hell do you think you are doing!? Get yourself up right this instant!" Cirak said.
"...I...can't sir." Donald sighed.
Cirak pressed a button on the apparatus and Donald was dropped on the floor, painfully.
Cirak walked up to Donald.
"That was a weak ass performance, Private Dough! How are you gonna help your teammates when you can't even keep yourself balanced?" Cirak asked.
"...Sorry, sir." Donald sighed.
Cirak's phone started ringing and he answered.
"...Mibyll returned? Good, I'll send them in your office." Cirak said.
Cirak closed the phone and looked at the four.
"Alright, cupcakes, Jaden told me that he wants you four in his office now! You have a new mission and it's a big one." Cirak said.
"Phew, thank Jesus." Trixie said.
"Let's go." Zack said.
When they walked out of the training, Trixie and Zack walked ahead.
Athena and Leon were about to follow them till she stopped and turned around, noticing Donald staring at the ground, looking sad.
Athena walked up to Donald.
"Donald, are you okay? Don't worry, we aren't gonna make fun of you for failing the challenge." Athena said.
"...It's not that...It's just...ever since I got in this whole 'saving the world' business...I din't do that much of value. Besides hitting guys with a hammer, I barely contributed at all, in terms of teamwork and helping others. I mean, look at the others, Trixie has her wit, Zack is a Omnipotent and you have psychic powers. Me on the other hand...what do I have? A large belly and I'm boring as hell. I'm just dead weight." Donald said.
"Donald, don't even think that. You aren't dead weight, you are our friend. Just because you don't have powers, doesn't mean you are not special in your own way. You just have to believe in yourself and do the right thing." Athena said.
"...What is the right thing in your dictionary?" Donald asked.
"...Well, the right thing is by either helping others or saving them. That's the right thing in my book. You'll get your chance to shine, don't worry." Athena said.
"...Okay then...thanks Athena." Donald said.
"No problem. Now, let's go. The others are waiting for us." Athena said.
Donald just nodded before he followed Athena and Leon.
The four and Leon entered in Jaden's office and inside were Mibyll and Jaden.
"Oh, hey guys." Mibyll said.
"Mibyll, you're back!" Trixie said.
"So, did you get them?" Zack asked.
"No, but I found out where the Legion guys are hiding the Jewel. They are in the first Universe, where Okail lives." Mibyll said.
"Really?" Athena asked.
"Yup. They seem to be waiting for the other Legion members to meet up with them. We have to snatch the Jewel before things get really messy." Mibyll said.
"You five are a team like last time. The location of the Jewel is in a facility in the first dimension. I'll teleport you five there in a few seconds. You can't fail at this mission. Getting the Jewel is our main priority." Jaden said.
"We got it." Athena said.
Jaden nodded as he pressed a button and the five were teleported out of there.
They reappeared in front of a giant gate. Beyond the gate was the facility the Jewel was kept in.
Zack looked at the gate.
"...That's one big gate." Zack said.
"And it's closed." Donald sighed.
"We can try to break it down or something." Athena said.
"I could just use my fists to smash it to pieces." Mibyll said.
"Now that's a plan I agree with." Trixie said.
While they weren't looking, they were being spied on by some cameras near the gate.
Inside the factory, a Kheog soldier was looking at the group through a monitor.
"Commander Kross, the ISP agents have showed up." The Kheog soldier.
Kross walked up to him and looked at the monitor.
"Excellent. The rats showed up to find their precious cheese. If they will think that this will be a easy task, they are horribly mistaken." Kross said.
"With this facility and it's weapons, they will never be able to get to the Jewel." The Kheog said.
"We were lucky that the Omnipotent in charge of this place is a money-loving moron." Kross said.
FLASHBACK
Kross and his Kheogs were discussing a bargain with Dyrre in front of the factory.
"We require this facility and to use it against our enemies who are looking for the Jewel of the Crown of Deity. The Black Crow will pay the price you ask no matter how big it might be." Kross said.
"Well, how much money do you guys have?" Dyrre asked.
Kross snapped his finger and a Kheog soldier walked up to Dyrre with a suitcase in his hand. He opened the suitcase and there were was lots of money in it.
The Kheog handed the suitcase over to Dyrre who looked at the money with delight.
"SOLD!" Dyrre happily said.
"Perfect. Now, you wouldn't mind showing us the facility itself and how it works?" Kross asked.
"Sure thing, dude, follow me!" Dyrre said.
END OF FLASHBACK
"Indeed, sir." Kheog soldier said.
"We are so close to our goal now, soldier. For years, ever since we lost our old planet, we have been searching for a new home to inhabit and always failing. The Neonytes made it harder for us with them inhabiting planets in almost every universe. We almost had it during that war with those furry creatures till that Omnipotent Tournament threw a wrench in our plans and destroyed most of our equipment and left us defenseless. We can't fail now, our entire species is counting on us. Do you understand?" Kross asked.
"Yes, sir. All hail the Kheogs!" Kheog soldier.
"Hail the Kheogs, indeed. Now then, let's greet our guests with the welcome committee." Kross said.
The Kheog soldier nodded as he pressed a button.
The gate in front of the facility was opening.
"Huh, seems like they are letting us in." Trixie said.
"...I get the feeling that this is gonna be a trap." Athena said.
"Yeah, definitely." Zack said.
When the Gate opened, four Kheogs were there with their weapons, aiming them at the group.
"Yup, as I said, a trap." Athena said.
"Let's kick their orange asses anyways." Trixie said.
Leon roared at the Kheogs.
The Kheogs shot at the group.
Donald reflected most of their blasts with his hammer.
Zack just sets the Kheog's weapons on fire, causing them to drop their weapon.
Athena immediately shot two plasma bolts at two Kheogs, knocking them on the ground.
Athena then pointed her gun at the two remaining Kheogs.
"Don't move!" Athena said.
"Where's the Jewel, huh? Spill it!" Trixie said.
The Kheogs just turned around, grabbed their unconscious comrades and ran off into the factory.
"Hey, stop right there!" Trixie said.
"Don't be too hasty, Trixie. They most likely have something planned for us in that building, I can feel it." Athena said.
"The Jewel is being kept at the top of the factory, in the last floor. We have to go all the way there to get to it and I doubt they'll let us get there that easily." Mibyll said.
"Heh, well I'm not scared of some lizards so let's go and get that Jewel already." Zack said.
"...Right." Donald sighed.
Athena turned to Leon.
"Stay right next to me, boy." Athena said.
Leon nodded.
The group ran into the factory.
When they looked around, there were no Kheogs at the entrance.
The first area looked pretty empty and it was quiet, with the exception of some pipes blowing out some steam.
"Where do we go from here?" Zack asked.
"There are some stairs right. That should get us to the first floor." Athena said.
"Stairs? Why they couldn't of put a elevator there instead?" Trixie asked.
"Probably because they din't knew that you despised stairs." Donald said.
"...Hah, very funny, smartass." Trixie said.
"Let's go climb the damn stairs already." Zack sighed.
The group ran to the stairs and were going to the first floor.
It cuts back to Kross and his Kheog soldier who were watching them.
"I trust that you set up the traps like I asked you to?" Kross asked.
"Yes, Commander. Once they get to the first floor, they'll be shoot at by the security machine guns. They won't be able to get past them." The Kheog soldier said.
Once the group arrived at the first floor they looked around.
The first floor was filled with some machines and at the end of the hall, there was a open elevator door.
"I can spot a elevator from here." Athena said.
"Oh, so NOW they decided to put elevator, huh?" Trixie asked.
Zack decided to walk ahead and suddenly, some automated machine guns popped up out of the floor and started shooting at the group.
"HOLY CRAP!" Zack yelled.
Everyone behind some machines except for Mibyll.
"Get down, you're gonna get hurt!" Athena called out.
Mibyll's body turned into steel and the most shots have been deflected when they touched his body and they began bouncing around in the room. Some shots managed to hit some machine guns, causing them to stop.
While the other guns were shooting, Mibyll ran up to some of them and smashed them.
Athena peered her head out of hiding and shot at a machine gun with a plasma bolt. When the gun got hit, it stopped shooting.
Athena kept shooting at the other guns while Mibyll smashed more of them and the shooting stopped.
"Okay , it's safe now." Mibyll said.
Donald, Trixie, Zack and Athena got up.
"Phew, thought I was gonna meet my maker there for a second." Trixie said.
"No kidding." Zack sighed.
"Let's continue. We can go inside that elevator and go to the second floor." Athena said.
The group went inside the elevator. Donald pressed a button and the doors closed and it was going to the second floor.
Back to Kross and The Kheog...
"...They won't get past the security machine guns, eh?" Kross asked.
"...Yeeah, but I'm sure that they won't be able to find the key card that will activate the elevator once they reach the second floor. We put the key card somewhere very hidden and they won't be able to find it." Kheog soldier said.
The group arrived at the second floor as they walked out of the elevator and looked around, to make sure they wouldn't get blasted by machine guns again.
The second floor seemed pretty empty and at the end of the floor was another elevator and right behind it was a door to a office.
Zack looked around.
"...Well, no machine guns. This should be easy." Zack said.
"I hope." Athena said.
They walked up to the elevator and it wasn't opening.
"...Why isn't it opening?" Trixie asked.
Zack kicked the door and it wasn't opening.
"...Huh, this is weird. And there is no button to open it too." Zack said.
Athena looked at a note next to the elevator.
"...In order to open a elevator, we need a employeer's key card." Athena read.
"...How are we gonna find a key card in this factory!?" Trixie asked.
"There's probably one somewhere in this floor. We could either find it or smash the door to pieces." Mibyll said.
"If we do that, the elevator might not work anymore. I say we find the key card." Athena said.
"Where do we start?" Zack asked.
"I'll use my psychic power to see where it is." Athena said.
As Athena's eyes glew purple, Donald went over to the office door and tried to see if it's open. It was and Donald entered inside.
He was in the office and there were papers on the floor, a coffee mug on the desk, there was a diploma of the 'Employee of the Month' on the wall, and the employee on the picture turned out to be Inun apparently. And behind the diploma was a picture of a workers who were in front of the factory.
Donald was looking around for the key card and spotted it at the top of a locker. Donald attempted to jump but he couldn't reach it. He picked up his giant hammer and slammed the locker and it collapsed on the floor. The Key card landed on the floor.
Donald picked it up and walked out of the office. He went to his group.
"Look what I found." Donald smiled, showing them the key card.
"Nice job, Donald!" Athena smiled.
"Good work, Private Dough." Zack smiled.
"Shut up." Donald said before he puts the key card in the slot and the elevator opened.
The group entered in the elevator and the door closed, taking them to the third floor.
Back to Kross and his soldier.
"...They won't be able to find the key card, huh?" Kross asked.
"Okay, they got lucky, but I can assure you that they will never be able to get past the lasers in the third floor." The Kheog soldier said.
In the third floor, when the group stepped out...
They saw that the entire hall was filled with red lasers, everywhere. And at the end of the hall was another elevator.
"...Ah, geez." Trixie said.
"...Well, the trapeze session from the base doesn't look so pointless now, does it?" Athena asked.
"We'll have to be agile than we ever been before to get passed these lasers." Mibyll said.
Athena, Trixie, Mibyll, Leon and Zack slowly began to walk past the lasers in their own way while Donald just stood there.
Leon was crawling past the lasers and so did Athena.
Trixie and Mibyll were walking very slowly.
Zack was kind of having a hard time and was sweating.
He wiped out his sweat before it could touch a laser.
Donald was just watching them till he spotted a light switch right next to him.
He flipped the switch and...
The lasers vanished. Zack landed on the floor out of sheer surprise.
The group looked legimitely confused.
"...What happened?" Athena asked.
They turned to Donald.
"...Seems like there was a way to shut them down after all. Hahah." Donald nervously laughed.
The others just stared at him annoyed.
"...Let's go to the next floor already." Athena sighed.
The group entered in the next elevator and went to the next floor.
"...They won't be able to get past the lasers, HUH!?" Kross asked, looking mad right now.
"Okay, sir, you have the right to be angry right now but I promise you, there is no chance they'll get through the maze in the next floor, especially with the walls made out of indestructible glass." Kheog soldier said.
The group reached the next floor...and they found themselves in the maze the Kheog talked about, filled with indestructible glass walls.
"...So, question...who was the idiot who had the right idea to build a maze in a fucking factory?" Trixie asked.
"Probably someone who wanted a challenge." Athena suggested.
"Guess we'll have to find out way out." Donald shrugged.
"Nah, screw that." Zack said.
Zack then snapped his fingers and sets the glass walls on fire. The glass walls shattered into shards instantaneously. The elevator to the next floor was visible."
"...Huh, no annoying puzzle maze then. Nice job, Zack." Trixie said.
"Yup." Zack smiled.
The group entered in the next elevator.
"INDESTRUCTIBLE GLASS, MY ORANGE TAIL!" Kross shouted, losing his patience.
"I'm sorry, commander! But I promise you that this one will do them in! In this one, in order to get the elevator working, they'll need to get all the way to the top of the floor to pull the switch without falling into the endless pit!" The Kheog said.
The group arrived at the next floor and they were on a bridge and at the end of It was another elevator. Underneath the bridge was a bottomless pit. Donald gulped when he saw that.
"...So, because this would be too easy, I guess we're gonna have to do something to get the elevator working." Trixie said.
"Yup." Athena confirmed.
"So, do we find another key card or..." Zack said as he looked up.
There were some giant clock gears which weren't moving at the top was a floor panel with a switch attached to the wall.
"...I guess if we manage get all the way there, we can activate the switch and the elevator will be working." Mibyll said.
"Kay...So, how do we get there without accidently falling in the pit and die?" Trixie asked.
"...I got this." Athena said.
Athena then levitated herself by using her telekinesis and easily got to the switch. She pulled it and the clock gears started moving.
The elevator door opened as Athena got back on the bridge.
"Woohoo, nice girl!" Trixie smiled.
"Thanks. Now let's go, the Jewel shouldn't be that far now." Athena said.
The group got into the elevator and it took to presumably to where the Jewel was.
Back to Kross and the Kheog...
Kross din't say anything, all he did was slowly turn his head to his optimistic soldier, glaring at him.
"...Okay, sir, I give up. They passed all the obstacles and are now heading right towards the final floor where the Jewel is." The Kheog sighed.
"If you want to get something done right, you have to do it yourself! Get the other troops, we have to stop them from getting the Jewel." Kross said.
"Yes, sir!" The Kheog said, running off.
The group arrived at the final floor.
The final floor looked pretty large at the end of it was a table with the Jewel on it, in a display case.
"All right! We found the Jewel at last!" Trixie said.
Trixie ran towards it.
"Hold on, Trixie!" Athena said.
Trixie turned to them.
"What's wrong? Let's get this thing home already!" Trixie said.
"I doubt they are finished this soon. You'd think they would be here to fight for the Jewel." Athena said.
"Maybe they did give up after seeing how easily we got past their obstacles?" Zack guessed.
"The Legion wouldn't be that easy to beat. It could be a trap." Athena said.
"Well, trap or not trap, I'm taking that Jewel!" Trixie said.
Trixie ran to the Jewel and 10 Kheogs teleported in front of her, aiming their weapons.
"YIKES!" Trixie said.
She ran back to her group.
"Okay, you were right, it was a trap." Trixie said.
"Indeed. And you fell for it." A voice said.
They turned around and Kross was behind them, along with more Kheogs.
"So, do you fools believe that you can get past a army of strong and prideful Kheos, take the Jewel and walk out alive to tell the Tale?" Kross asked.
Athena glared at Kross intently.
"...Yes, we do. And you won't stop us." Athena said, getting ready for a fight.
"Hm, I see. Soldiers, shoot to kill!" Kross ordered.
"YES, COMMANDER!" The Kheogs shouted.
"You guys take on the underlings! I'll handle their leader!" Athena said.
"Okay, if you say so! Just be careful!" Mibyll said.
"I will." Athena nodded.
The soldiers charged at the group while Athena ran towards Kross before jumping right towards him, attempting to kick him.
Kross easily blocked her kick with his arms and Athena landed on her feet.
"Looks like I'll get to you fight after all, my masked enemy. Let's see how powerful earthlings truly are." Kross said.
"You are in for lots of surprises, buddy." Athena said.
Athena and Kross charged at each other.
The Kheogs were shooting at the other group.
Mibyll's arms turned to steel and began hitting some Kheogs in the face, smashing their visors.
Suddenly, 2 Kheogs jumped on Mibyll before 7 others jumped on him, knocking him to the floor.
The Kheogs while holding him got up and began to punch and the kick the snot out of Mibyll.
Zack shoot a large fire ball at the Kheogs attacking Mibyll, hitting about 6 of them.
Trixie charged towards the remaining Kheogs and stabbed them in their necks with her Lance, and they fell on the floor.
Mibyll got up and looked at Trixie.
"Thanks." Mibyll said.
"Don't mention it." Trixie said.
Donald was mostly shielding himself from the Kheog's blasts with his hammer.
Leon charged at the Kheogs and lunged at one of them, clawing it in the chest before lunging towards the other Kheog, bitting him in the arm and knocking him on the floor.
Zack was shooting fire at the Kheogs till one of them jumped on Zack and stabbed him in the shoulder.
"SHIT!" Zack yelled.
Zack then got blasted by the Kheogs and fell on the floor.
When he attempted to get up, one Kheog ran up to him and kicked him down.
Donald smacked the Kheog in the head with his hammer, knocking him on the ground before helping Zack to get up.
"Thanks, Donald." Zack said.
Donald just nodded before he charged at the other Kheogs, hitting them in their faces.
Athena and Kross were currently fighting each other, using their fighting moves.
Athena was avoiding Kross's stabs before she grabbed him by his arm and threw him towards the wall.
Kross stopped himself from hitting the wall and teleported next to Athena, punching her in the face, knocking her on the ground.
Kross was about to stomp her till she rolled out of the way and shoot a plasma bolt at Kross.
He blocked the shoot with his gloves and got out his own weapon, shooting at Athena.
Athena dodged most of his shoots before she telekinetically lifted the weapon from his hands and threw it away.
Kross teleported again in front of Athena and was about to stab her.
Athena ducked and Kross managed to hit her hair, getting some strands of her hair in his claws.
Athena noticed that and she looked infuriated.
"...Okay, now you made me mad!" Athena said.
She lunged at Kross, kicking him in the chest before she punched him in his helmet face.
Mibyll and Trixie were currently putting a smackdown on the Khoeg troops while Leon was clawing them to death.
Zack summoned a circle around five 5 Kheogs. He snapped his fingers and the circled bursted into flames and the Kheogs were caught in the fire and they were screaming in pain.
They dropped on the floor.
Donald continued to smack more Kheogs with his hammer before he turned his attention to Athena and Kross.
Athena was currently kicking and punching Kross before she kicked him again in the chest with her boots.
Kross was knocked back a bit and he looked at his own tail.
Athena lunged at Kross, attempting to kick him again but his tail immediately grabbed her leg and Athena was now hanging upside down.
She attempted to free herself as Kross lifted her to his face.
"Now, how about I carve something nice in that ugly face of yours, huh?" Kross asked, getting his claws ready.
Donald's eyes widened.
"ATHENA!" Donald yelled.
Leon immediately turned and charged at Kross. Leon lunged at him and bites him in his tail.
Kross's eyes shrunk when Leon did that.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Kross yelled in pain.
He dropped Athena on the ground as Kross grabbed his tail and began cursing off Leon.
While Kross was busy being in pain and shouting some death threats, Donald charged at Kross with his hammer, smashing him in the face, causing half of his visor to crack.
Kross was knocked on the ground and din't get up.
Athena turned to Leon and pat him on his head.
"Good job, boy." Athena smiled.
Leon nodded as Athena turned to Donald.
"And thanks, Donald." Athena said.
"...Yeah, don't worry about it." Donald smiled.
The rest of the Kheogs were defeated and were unconscious on the floor. Mibyll walked up to Kross and grabbed him by his neck.
"We are taking you in, pal." Mibyll said.
"I'm not scared of you, earthlings." Kross said.
"If I were you dude, I would be." Zack said.
Athena turned her attention to the Jewel and walked up to it.
"...So, this is the 5th and final Jewel of the Crown of Deity, huh? We finally got it." Athena said.
"As long as the Jewel is in our hands, The Black Crow can't become powerful." Mibyll said.
Athena then began to think.
"...Hmm...I might have an idea and hopefully it will work." Athena said.
"What is it?" Trixie asked.
"...If the Black Crow needs all the Jewels to get the Crown to work..why don't we destroy the Jewel right here and right now? That way, the Legion's plans will go down the toilet." Athena said.
"WHAT!? No, you can't!" Kross yelled.
"That sounds like a good idea." Zack said.
"Yup. If we destroy it right here, then the Legion will never fuck with us again and return back to whatever dimension they came from." Trixie said.
"I'm not sure...we don't know what this thing could be capable of considering it's a part of a already super powerful crown made by a Omnipotent. We should take it back and analyze it." Donald said.
"I agree." Mibyll said.
"...Maybe. But if we take our time, The Legion will attack again to get it and we can't risk it. We have to destroy it now." Athena said.
Athena got out her gun and aimed it at the Jewel. She was charging up her beam.
"NO! DON'T!" Kross cried out.
Athena shot a massive beam at the Jewel, breaking the display case and hitting it.
The Jewel started to glow brightfully blue and deflected the huge beam back at Athena, knocking her into the wall.
"AH!" Athena yelled in pain.
"ATHENA!" Trixie yelled, she and Donald running up to her.
The Jewel started to float while glowing.
"It's floating!" Zack said.
"Just hurry up and grab it!" Mibyll yelled.
Zack attempted to grab the Jewel but it flew towards the wall and phased through it, disappearing.
Athena got up and looked shocked.
"...It...disappeared." Athena said.
"...Jaden's not gonna be happy." Mibyll sighed.
Kross, looking pissed, slashed Mibyll in the face and landed on the floor on his feet, setting his gaze towards Athena.
"YOU DAUGHTER OF A EARTHLY WHORE! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!? THANKS TO YOU, THE JEWEL HAS BEEN LOST YET AGAIN! THUS DELAYING MY CHANCES OF FINDING A SAFE PLANET FOR MY PEOPLE! YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS WITH YOUR LIFE!" Kross yelled.
Kross puts his hands on his helmet and removed it before throwing it on the ground, revealing his orange lizard like face and sharp pointy teeth. before he charged at Athena, opening his mouth, ready to bite her.
"ATHENA!"
Donald pushed Athena out of the way and Kross bites him in the neck instead.
"AAAAAAH!" Donald yelled out.
"DONALD!" Athena cried.
Kross stopped and Donald dropped on the ground, now with a massive bite mark on his neck.
The group ran towards Donald, all of them looking concerned and panic.
"Are you okay!?" Trixie asked.
"I...I...GAH!" Donald yelled, he seemed to be in pain as veins started popping out.
"Donald!" Zack said.
Athena turned to Kross, her eyes glowing purple and looking mad.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM!?" Athena asked.
"I intoxicated him with a deadly venom." Kross smiled.
"VENOM!?" Trixie asked.
"Each Kheog contains a deadly venom and we give it to others by bitting them. Once we did that, the venom starts spreading in the host's body and by the time it reaches the heart, the person will die. The Neonytes might be the most powerful race when it comes to powers, but we are the most dangerous when it comes to fatal attacks." Kross said.
Athena's eyes widened as she turned to Donald who was currently on the floor, his body was in complete pain.
"Donald...no..." Athena said.
Kross picked up his helmet and put it back on.
"Unfortnately, there is no cure. Your friend has 30 minutes till the venom will kill him. But before that, he will feel lots of pain and suffering." Kross said.
Zack and Trixie turned to Kross, looking pissed.
"YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Zack yelled.
"YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY WITH THIS!" Trixie yelled.
"You idiots brought this upon yourselves by costing us the Jewel. So I returned the favor." Kross said.
Athena just slowly got up and turned to Kross, her body starting to glow a bit.
"...You...YOU...I'LL KILL YOU FOR THIS!" Athena shouted.
Athena charged at Kross, ready to punch him till he teleported out of there, along with his Kheog soldiers.
"GET BACK HERE, YOU COWARD!" Athena yelled.
"Athena, forget about him! We have to focus on Donald!" Zack said.
"There has to be a way to save him! Is there!?" Trixie asked.
"Yeah, there is. I know a guy who could help him but we have to get back to the base before it's too late!" Mibyll said.
"THEN DO IT ALREADY!" Athena shouted.
Mibyll got out his communicator.
"Bring us to the ship, we have a kid who is about to die any second now if we don't get to the base!" Mibyll said.
The group got teleported out of the factory along with the sick Donald.
At the ISP base.
Athena, Zack and Trixie were in the medical bay, sadly looking at Donald who's wasn't conscious, on the table and had a anaesthetic mask to his face. Vlad was standing next to him at the other side of the table.
"...I...I did the best I could to paralyze the pain but I don't know how to cure him of the virus. We have to wait till Mont shows up." Vlad said.
"Can this Mont guy cure him?" Zack asked.
"...He...could. He is the Omnipotent of Health and cured diseases before so..." Vlad said.
"Well, he beter hury, our friend's live is at stake here!" Trixie said.
Athena just looked at Donald.
"...Donald...it's my fault. I shouldn't of encouraged into doing the right thing. I should of been the one to get bitten. I costed us the jewel, not you." Athena said.
A few seconds pass and Mont walked in the medic bay.
"I heard what happened from Dasawert and I got here as fast as I could." Mont said.
Athena turned to Mont.
"Can you save him?" Athena asked.
"I never dealt with Kheog bites before so hopefully, I can." Mont said.
Mont walked towards Donald and puts his hand on his bite mark, his hand starting to glow.
Athena and Trixie approached Donald.
"Come on, Donald, you have to fight it! Please!" Athena said.
"You better not die on us, do you hear me!?" Trixie asked.
While Mont was healing Donald, his mind flashbacked to the day he met Athena and Trixie.
We see a 13 year old Donald who was currently getting bullied by two girls who were the same age as him.
"Just leave me alone!" Donald said.
"Not till you gives us the lunch money, fatty!" The girl said.
"Yeah!" The second girl said.
"Hey, lay off!" A voice was heard
The girls turned around and 13 years old Trixie and Athena were behind him.
"And what do you two want? Are you also looking forward to a beating?" A girl asked.
"Do you two have nothing else to do than picking on someone weaker than you two?" Athena asked.
"Yeah, get the hell out of here!" Trixie said.
The girls turned to Trixie and Athena.
"Well, do something about it then!" The girl said.
Athena simply headbutted the girl in the face, knocking her on the ground. The second girl looked shocked.
"You want some of it too, blondie?" Trixie asked.
"N-no!" The second girl said.
The first girl got up and her nose was bleeding. She held her nose.
"OW! My nose!" The girl cried.
"Let's get out of here! Screw the lunch money!" The second girl said.
The girls ran off. Athena and Trixie approached Donald.
"Are you okay?" Athena asked.
"...Yeah, I am. Thanks." Donald said, looking surprised.
"Bullies like them are the ones that I hate the most. So, what's your name?" Trixie asked.
"...I'm...Donald. Thanks for helping me with those girls and stopping them from taking my lunch money." Donald said.
"No problem. My name is Athena." Athena smiled.
"I'm Trixie." Trixie said.
"...Nice to meet you." Donald said.
"Nice to meet you too, Donald." Athena said.
When young Athena said his name, Donald suddenly heared Athena and Trixie calling his name out in unison, telling him to wake up.
Donald slowly opened his eyes. The bite mark on his neck was gone.
"I did it. The venom is gone now." Mont said.
Donald slowly got off the table and looked at the others.
"...Guys...what just happened?" Donald asked.
"DONALD!" Athena and Trixie shouted, as they hugged Donald, who looked surprised.
"Thank God." Zack smiled.
Mont and Vlad just sighed in relief.
"You dolt, do you know how worried we were!?" Trixie asked.
"...You were?" Donald asked.
"Of course were! You are our friend! We thought you lost for a moment there!" Athena said.
"...I'm sorry guys. But...now atleast I returned the favor by saving you from being bitten by Kross." Donald said.
"You shouldn't done that, Donald. I deserved to get bitten more than you did." Athena said.
"No, you din't. I wanted to show that I'm more than just dead weight." Donald said.
"You are not dead weight, dude. You are a important member of the team! You are our friend and that's what matters the best." Trixie said.
"Trixie's right. You are important to us Donald, both as a teammate and as a friend." Athena said.
"...Thanks guys. I feel really appreciated right now." Donald smiled.
"Just don't do anything stupid like that ever again." Athena said.
"Okay, I got it." Donald nodded.
"In case you guys will get bitten by a Kheog again, I prepared some special medicine that will help eliminate the Venom. It doesn't work as fast as my power but it should get the job done." Mont said, giving the bottle of medicine to Athena.
"Thank you." Athena said.
"...I hate to interrupt but...Jaden wants to see you in his office." Vlad said.
"I get the feeling he is not happy about how the mission ended." Zack said.
Meanwhile, at the Citadel of Crows.
In the meeting room, the Black Crow's eyes were glowing yellow and Kross was currently choking himself out with his hand.
"...So, you lost the Jewel, you say?" Black Crow asked.
"I-it wasn't my fault, it was the girl!" Kross said while trying to pull his hand out.
"...And yet, you failed to stop them. Right when we were so close too." Black Crow said, as his eyes's glowing increased.
Kross's eyes were also glowing as he was choking himself, not out of his own will, but the Black Crow's.
"P-PLEASE FORGIVE ME! I'LL FIND THE JEWEL MYSELF IF I HAVE TO!" Kross yelled.
"...You better." Black Crow said as his eyes stopped glowing.
Kross stopped choking himself and landed on his knees, trying to breathe in and out to restore some oxygen in his throat.
Black Crow began to cough uncontrollably and continued to cough even more.
Chronos ran to the Black Crow and handed him some pills with a glass water.
Black Crow took the pills in his mouth and drank the water, swallowing the pills.
He stopped coughing and puts the glass on the table, taking a breath and putting a hand on his chest, right where his heart is.
"...Damn this body. The older it gets, the weaker my power becomes." Black Crow said.
"Looks like we are back to square one, unfornately." Chronos said.
"Now what?" Ate asked.
"We'll have to find the Jewel again but much faster this time. We can't waste any more time. Ate, Seth, Micro, Kross and Zhovet, I want you five to double your search and look harder for the Jewel, wherever it is. It could be in another universe as we speak." Black Crow said.
"Got it." Ate smiled.
Seth, Micro and Zhovet nodded.
"...Understood." Kross sighed.
"The masked girl and her friends are becoming a nuisance that we can't ignore anymore. We have to get rid of them. Henry, I want you go into that Universe again and this time, find out what their names are and eliminate them." Black Crow.
"Of course." Henry said, rolling his eyes.
The Shinigami Taq just gave a thumbs up
"...I must hurry...I must hurry and get the Jewel already. Without it, the Infinite Multiversal Hypnotism Plan will go down the drain." The Black Crow said in his mind.
Back at the ISP Base, in Jaden's office...
Jaden slammed his pals against the table.
"You bloody did what!?" Jaden asked.
Athena, Trixie, Donald and Zack were in the room, accompanied by Dasawert and Vlad.
"Do you have any idea what you have done!? Thanks to what you did, we lost the Jewel again!" Jaden yelled.
"...Look, I'm sorry for what I did. It was a stupid mistake but I thought that by destroying the Jewel, the Legion will be stopped for good." Athena said.
"And so, you thought that it would be a good idea to shoot a beam out of a gun into a powerful jewel, thinking that there wouldn't be any bloody consequences! You should of brought it here to analyze it before we could anything else with it!" Jaden yelled.
"Geez dude, she said she is sorry. Chill." Trixie said.
"...I'm sorry but um..." Vlad said.
"WHAT!?" Jaden asked, looking at Vlad.
Vlad flinched a bit.
"I, uh, uh...I looked into the file regarding the Crown of Deity and...Kamest put a lot of powerful energy in each Jewel, powerful enough to counter any attack and if they get hit, they fly off and move to another location...So, Athena might have a point about destroying the Jewel cause...bringing the Jewel here and securing it here won't solve the root of the problem. Even if it's protected properly, it might of fly off again." Vlad said.
"Vlad is right. When we find the Jewel again, we should find a way to weaken it's power somehow and then destroy it." Dasawert said.
"...I suppose you do have a point." Jaden sighed.
Jaden sat back at his desk, with his arms folded.
"...So be it then. For now, we must focus on finding the 5th Jewel once again before the Legion does. When we do, a research team can figure out how to destroy it." Jaden said.
"Jaden, I promise that I'm gonna fix this. I swear I'll get that Jewel back and I won't make a mistake like that again." Athena said.
"Your determination is admirable, but however...As punishment for your mistake, you will be forced to participate in a three-hour training session with General Cirak!" Jaden said.
Athena's eyes widened.
"A THREE-HOUR TRAINING SESSION!?" Athena asked.
"What did you expect? Now go, Cirak will be waiting for you." Jaden said.
Athena's forehead was blue when she heard this as her friends turned to her.
"Ouch, hate to be you right now, A." Zack said.
"Damn, sorry girl." Trixie said.
"We wish you good luck." Donald said.
"...Man, I really screwed the pooch on this one." Athena sighed.

THE ATHENA SAGA
CHAPTER 9 MARTIN
The chapter starts at Athena's high school.
Inside, Athena, Zack, Trixie and Donald were currently staring at a poster and it's about the School Dance that will take place later at tonight.
"...So, today's the School Dance." Donald said.
"Eh, lame." Trixie said.
"I haven't found a proper dress. Once we finish today's school, I'll definitely have to find a dress that will fit me at today's dance." Athena said.
"And also a partner for you to dance with." Donald said.
"...Yeah, about that...really don't know who to pick." Athena said.
"Well, I for one already made my choice. I know who will be my partner for the Dance." Trixie said.
"Who?" Donald asked.
"Ain't it obvious?" Trixie asked, looking directly at a guy with short black hair.
"Jason." Trixie smiled.
"Oh, him? He is one of my buddies actually." Zack said.
"Really? Could you talk to him and ask if he has any ideas about who he wants to dance with at the dance?" Trixie asked.
"I could, but don't be surprised if he is not thinking about going out with you." Zack said.
"Well, atleast give him some hints about the girl who is interested in him." Trixie said.
"Alright, I can do that. the only problem I have right now is that the fangirls are fighting over about being my partner at the dance." Zack said.
"Why not just choose one?" Donald asked.
"Yeah, and they'll begin to beat each other up to get my attention. No chance." Zack said.
Donald turned to Athena.
"Do you know who you're gonna dance with Athena?" Donald asked.
"...Well. I don't have that many options honestly. I'm not that interested in most of the guys in my class." Athena said.
"Except for one particular guy you know." Trixie said.
"...You don't mean..." Athena said.
"Yup." Trixie nodded.
Athena turned around and saw Martin from a distance. He was currently waving at Athena.
"...No. No way." Athena said.
"Maybe you should just give Martin a chance." Donald said.
"Sorry, but no way. Me and Martin are only friends and I want to keep it that way. I'm just not that into him, despite the obvious feelings he has for me." Athena said.
"Well, you might aswell tell him that so you won't break his feelings at the dance." Trixie said.
"And by telling him now will be any different?" Athena asked.
"I unno, I was just suggesting." Trixie said.
"Right. Maybe some other time." Athena said.
The School bell rang.
"Well, time go back to class." Donald said.
"Yeah." Athena said.
The four went to their classroom.
Once classes were over, everyone went out of the building and most of them were talking about the Dance.
When Zack walked out of the school, his crowd of fangirls ran up to him.
"Zack, will you pick me to be your partner at the Dance?" Girl Nr.1 asked.
"Out of the way, whore, I was gonna ask him that!" Girl Nr.2 yelled.
"No, I was!" Girl Nr.3 yelled.
Zack simply just sighed.
Athena and Trixie walked out of their high school and saw Zack being surrounded by his army of fangirls before they just continued walking.
Near the school, there was a black car nearby, and inside it was Henry, who was watching Athena and her friends. Taq was sitting next to him, eating pizza.
"...Just look at that. They are letting those superpowered freaks actually go to school without the fear of them burning it to ground with their chaotic powers. Can you believe this?" Henry asked.
Taq was just eating his pizza, not giving a damn.
"I unno, it seems pretty normal to me." Taq said.
"Yeah, of course it would be to you. And I'm the one doing the job of the assassin here while the Legion cronies are somewhere else, looking for the Jewel." Henry said.
It suddenly cuts to the Citadel of Crows, right to Commander Kross(who's tail was bandaged after being bitten by Leon) who was contacting Zhovet through his helmet.
Kross was talking to him.
"So? How is the search going?" Kross asked.
"Very well. Right now, we are in another town. We believe that the Jewel might be here." Zhovet said...who was inside a soup store and behind him was a Lovian who was currently shaking up a kid to see what stuff falls from his pocket. The town they were in was Newfort.
"I see. Have you managed to find it's location?" Kross asked.
"Zhovet can't find it." Zhovet said.
"...What do you mean you can't find it?" Kross asked.
"Zhovet can't find it, there's only soup." Zhovet said, holding a can of soup.
"...What do you mean there is only soup?" Kross asked.
"It means there is only soup." Zhovet said.
"WELL THEN MOVE TO THE NEXT AREA!" Kross ordered.
"You don't have to shout at Zhovet!" Zhovet responded.
Zhovet walked to the next aisle.
"There's more soup." Zhovet said.
"What do you mean there is more soup!?" Kross asked.
"There is just more soup!" Zhovet said.
"GO INTO THE NEXT AREA!" Kross yelled.
"...There is still soup." Zhovet said.
"Where are you right now!?" Kross asked.
"Zhovet's at Soup!" Zhovet said.
"What do you mean you are at 'Soup'!?" Kross asked.
"Zhovet means that Zhovet's at Soup!" Zhovet said.
"What location are you in!?" Kross asked.
"ZHOVET'S AT THE SOUP STORE!" Zhovet yelled.
"WHY ARE YOU LOOKING FOR THE JEWEL AT THE DAMN SOUP STORE!?" Kross asked.
"SCREW YOU!" Zhovet yelled, throwing his communicator against the wall, shattering it.
Back at school.
Athena was about to walk away to home till...
"ATHENA!" Martin shouted.
Athena just clenched her fist in response as Martin walked up to her.
"...What, Martin?" Athena asked, hiding her anger.
"So, today's the School Dance...um, no girl will want to be my partner so, maybe-"
"No." Athena said.
"...Oh, come on, Athena, just this once-"
Athena turned to Martin, looking irritated.
"No is no, Martin! Get it through your head already, I'm just not that interested into you! I don't know why you have these feelings for me but I don't feel the same for you. I just want to be friends and that's all. We can't go beyond that." Athena said.
"...Oh...I see." Martin sighed.
"...Look, I'm not your soulmate, okay? I'm sure there are other girls in this school who might be interested in you. And I won't be your partner for today's Dance." Athena said.
"...Okay, I got it." Martin sighed again.
"...Very well...see you later, Martin." Athena said.
Athena turned around and walked up to Trixie.
"Damn girl, you roasted the hell out of him!" Trixie said.
"I don't really want to talk about it, Trixie...let's just go to my house." Athena sighed.
Trixie just nodded before they walked away.
Martin, who's heart just got crushed, sat on the bench and puts his hand against his face.
Henry was currently looking at Martin.
"Now that was a show." Taq said.
"...Hm...that boy could be a help to us, now that he got totally rejected by that mutant girl. It is for the best anyways, I can't imagine him having a good life by dating a monster like her. I can prevent him from ruining his own life by telling me her name. Once he gives it to me, I'll get rid of her." Henry said.
"Sure, do whatever you want. Though, this would be much easier if you made the Shinigami Eye deal when I told you about it." Taq said.
"You know I won't do that, Taq. Like I told you when we first met, I would use this notebook to kill all the superpowered monsters and not let any more innocents get killed in their way. Did you forget that?" Henry asked.
"No, I din't. I remember all that you told me when we first met." Taq said.
FLASHBACK
In Demeter's dimension.
It cuts to a normal looking house and inside the house was a 16 year old Henry, who was watching the news, about a person with powers getting executed at Athena's Mansion.
"...Damn mutants." Henry cursed.
Henry just turned off the news and walked around in the house, before he spotted a picture of a woman with white long hair, with tattoos on her arms. Definitely not Omni-Athena. That was Henry's mother.
Henry just walked up to the picture of his mother...and smacked it to the floor, shattering it into pieces.
"...This bitch ruined my life, using me as target practice for her twisted powers. She and those other mutants are the reason that everything went wrong in this world. Innocent people are dying and it's all because of them...somebody has to do something about these monsters. Even with the ban powers rule, there are still more crawling around and hiding and they have to be stopped...but how?" Henry asked.
Henry began to think as he stepped out of his house and then spotted something on his yard. It was a notebook.
He raised an eyebrow before he walked up to the notebook and picked it up.
"...Death note? The hell is this?" Henry asked.
Henry walked back into his house with the Notebook and closed the door. He looked at the Notebook and opened it. Surpringly, it had a page containing instructions on how to use it.
"...If you write the person's name in a Death Note, and as long as you have the person's face in your mind...the person...will die!?" Henry asked, looking shocked.
Henry flipped the page and the next page contained some names of people with causes of death and the hour of when they died next to them. Henry looked surprised by this.
"...Is...is this real? Can I believe it? That this Notebook can actually...kill people?" Henry asked.
"Yup, it can." A voice said.
Henry turned around and he freaked out when he saw a unhuman looking creature behind him. The creature was obviously Taq.
"Sup." Taq waved.
Henry fell on the floor, looking scared.
"...W-WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU!?" Henry asked.
"I'm a Shinigami. I'm from the Shinigami Realm. What you are holding right now is my notebook." Taq said.
"...Wait...this is yours?" Henry asked.
"Yeah. I got bored and decided to drop the notebook in this world. Another guy before me did the same thing and he said that it was pretty interesting and so, I decided to check it for myself. So, now that you picked up the notebook, guess that means it's your now. Though, if you want to give it back, I'll have to erase your memories of it." Taq said.
"...This notebook...is mine?...And...it can actually kill people?" Henry asked.
"It can. All you have to do is write the person's name in the notebook as long as it's not a Alias, remember the person's face, write the cause of death and the hour when it happens and boom, you get a dead person and free trip to his funeral home." Taq smiled.
"...Yes...yes...maybe now I found the answer!" Henry said.
"Answer to what?" Taq asked.
"The answer on how to kill the mutants with powers! With this notebook, I can eliminate all of them! All I have to do is find out their names and get rid of them! I'll do this world a huge favor!" Henry smiled.
"Huh, neat. Though, if you want to get it done much faster, you'll need the Shinigami eyes. That way you can see their names and life spans above a human's head. I can give them to you...but it will cost you half of your life span. So, do you accept?" Taq asked.
"...No. I'll only use these Shinigami eyes if I don't have any options left. I want to spend the rest of my life to eradicate all these monsters who've only done nothing but destroy people's lives. And no one will stand in my way." Henry said.
"Okay, if you say so. Though, since you are the owner of the notebook, I'll have to crash here and follow you wherever you go. Once the notebook runs out or when you die, I'll take the notebook and go back to the Shinigami Realm. When it will be your turn to die, I'll have to write your name in the notebook." Taq said.
"Well, I won't die anytime soon. I will clean this world by getting rid of the superpowered monsters and everything will be back to normal again." Henry said.
"Kay. By the way, my name is Taq, thanks for asking." Taq said.
"...Alright, Taq. My name is Henry. Now, let's get to work, for the good of Mankind." Henry smiled, looking at his notebook.
END OF FLASHBACK
"...I'm gonna talk to with the lad." Henry said.
Henry stepped out of his car and approached the School area.
Martin was sitting at the bench, looking sad.
"Is there something troubling you, young man?" Henry asked.
Martin turned to look at Henry.
"...Who are you?" Martin asked.
"I'm a Investigator. I investigate the Paranormal and Supernatural activities, you see. After I heard reports of strange activities going around at this school, I had to check it out." Henry said.
"...Um, okay...are you like working for the Government?" Martin asked.
"In a way, yes. I noticed that you look sad. What happened?" Henry asked.
"...Well, there is this girl I like and I wanted to ask her to be my partner at the School Dance...and she rejected me...very harshly." Martin said.
"Oh, that's just unfortunate. How could someone refuse a nice fellow like you?" Henry asked.
"...I guess she has her own reasons..." Martin said.
"...Hm, could you tell me more about this friend of yours?" Henry asked.
"...I don't know, no offense, but I just met yoy and I'm not sure if I should say anything about my friends to a complete stranger." Martin said.
"Yes, but...has your friend ever been honest with you. Has she ever told you her secrets?" Henry asked.
"...Um, now that you mention it...she never did." Martin said.
"I see...we should discuss this somewhere else. I may have some shocking news for you and I don't want you to panic. Follow me...if you want to get some answers about the girl you are interested in." Henry said
Martin looked confused.
"...Um, okay..." Martin said.
Martin followed Henry as they were going towards his car while Taq was just chuckling at this.
At the Vixerello house.
Athena and Trixie were in Athena's bedroom. Athena was currently looking in her closet, to find a suitable dress to wear at the Dance.
"...It's a good thing that the circus lady din't steal anything from the closet atleast." Athena said.
"Did she really break into your house and tried to steal your shit?" Trixie asked.
"Yeah. Keira then showed up and knocked her out and dragged her...somewhere." Athena said.
"Huh. The mysterious girl strikes again." Trixie said.
"I guess. Mom is riled up about this and is calling the police but so far, no luck." Athena said.
"Huh, okay." Trixie said.
Athena then picked up two dresses and showed them to Trixie.
"So, what should I wear? Brown or Green?" Athena asked.
"...Green, I guess?" I don't know, it's your clothes, not mine." Trixie said.
"Hm, I see...well, maybe Brown would suit me just fine..." Athena said, though she seemed to be thinking about something else.
"...What's wrong? You seem upset." Trixie said.
"...It's about Martin. I don't know if I did the right thing. I should of been more nicer about the subject." Athena said.
"I'm sure anyone else who isn't you would of said the same thing to that creepy twerp. Don't worry about it." Trixie said.
"...I guess, but I din't want to break his feelings. And I fear that he may not show up at the dance and have fun." Athena said.
"I'm sure Martin is fine. It's not like one of the Legion douches will ask him questions about you and us." Trixie said.
"Yeah, hopefully." Athena sighed.
At a Cafee.
Henry and Martin were sitting at a table, discussing about Athena.
"I mean, she and Zack din't like each other for awhile and then suddenly, they became best friends in the next day. I don't get it." Martin said.
"Hm, indeed. Quite odd. And you say that she only hangs around with her friends?" Henry asked.
"Yeah, she does. I sometimes help her with math stuff and evertime I tried to ask her to a date, she rejected me." Martin said.
"I see." Henry said.
"I just...don't get her at all. She is so mysterious that I barely know much about her...but I still like her." Martin said.
"...Well, I can relate you on this one. I also used to love a beautiful woman whom I thought I could trust...till she turned out to be a deceitful liar." Henry said.
FLASHBACK
A few years later.
Henry was now a adult and was watching the news about a rich man who had a heart attack and died in his house. He had the Death Note in front of him and the rich person's name was in his notebook. Taq was just eating some pizza.
"Heh, you could fool your DNA tests all day, Mr. David, but you can't fool me. I did what the Law wouldn't of been able to." Henry said.
The sound of the door being unlocked was heard.
Henry's eyes widened before he grabbed the Death Note and puts it in a drawer and closed it.
His wife entered in the house. She had black eyes with long brown hair and wearing a blue dress.
"Henry, I'm home." The woman said. She couldn't see Taq.
Henry turned to his wife, smiling.
"Oh, Juliana, you're back. So, what did the doctor say?" Henry asked.
"Well, he found out why I felt sick this morning...He told me...that I'm pregnant." Juliana smiled.
Henry looked surprised.
"...Pregnant? That means..." Henry said.
"Yes." Juliana smiled.
"...I'm gonna be a father...I can't believe this! This is such good news! So, is it gonna be a boy or a girl?" Henry asked.
"I don't know yet." Juliana said.
"Well, if it's gonna be a girl, I thought about naming her...Anna. What do you think?" Henry asked.
"It's a good name. But what if it's a boy?" Juliana asked.
"...I don't know, I haven't thought about that. Do you have any suggestions?" Henry asked.
"...Well...how about..." Juliana was thinking.
"...Judas?"
END OF FLASHBACK
"...Um...Mr.Henry?" Martin asked.
Henry snapped back into reality.
"Oh, sorry, I was...thinking about something." Henry said.
"...Okay. So, that's all I know about my friend." Martin said.
"...I see...well, it's time I tell you her secret." Henry said.
"Her secret?" Martin asked.
"Yes...You see, Martin, the reason your friend kept secrets from you...is because she is a superpowered being." Henry said.
"...Are you joking?" Martin asked.
"No, I'm not. She and Zack are people with powers, devastating powers that is. They are very dangerous if they are unchecked. I'm sure you are aware that there are people in this world with powers, don't you?" Henry asked.
"...Why, yes, I mean the President candidate L'aurlethe just fought against a alien a few days ago. But why din't she tell me about her having powers?" Martin asked.
"That's because superpowered people like her view the normal people like us inferior, nothing but target practices for them. Plus, I have a feeling that if you ever found out about her secret...she might try to kill you to keep it safe." Henry said.
"...Oh God, are you serious?" Martin asked, looking shocked.
"Indeed I am, Martin. But don't worry, I know on how to deal with her. But first, could you tell me what her name is?" Henry asked.
"...Her...her name is Athena...Athena Vixerello." Martin said.
"Ah...I see...well, I happen to know a person who shared the same name as your friend...and she was a awful person with powers aswell...if we don't stop her, History might repeat Itself again." Henry said.
Martin simply just looked at the table, now confused. He doesn't know wether he should believe in what Henry is saying...or start to see Athena from a different angle now.
Athena, Trixie, Donald and Zack were currently sitting in front of Athena's house.
"...So, you want to apologise to Martin?" Zack asked.
"Yeah...what I did was wrong and I shouldn't of been so harsh with him. I want to apologise to him and I want you guys to be near him when I do." Athena said.
"Okay. I guess we'll also try to explain to the guy if it doesn't work." Trixie said.
"Thanks." Athena said.
She brought out her phone and called Martin.
Martin's phone was ringing and when he checked it, it was Athena's number.
"...It's Athena." Martin said.
"Answer her." Henry said.
Martin answered Athena's call.
"Martin, it's me." Athena said.
"...What do you want?" Martin asked.
"...I...just want to talk to you...about what happened earlier...I want to apologise." Athena said.
"Apologise?...for what?" Martin asked.
"For hurting your feelings. Look, just where are you right now?" Athena asked.
Martin just looked at Henry who simply nodded.
"...I'm at the Cafee right now." Martin said.
"Okay, I'll meet you there. Just don't go." Athena said.
"...Alright." Martin said.
He hang up on Athena as he turned to Henry.
"...You should talk her...by the way...whatever happens next...do not get in the way, Martin." Henry vaguely said.
"...Okay." Martin said, looking confused before he turned his head.
Henry brought his Death Note and looked at his watch.
"....Now then, Mutant, enjoy your last moments being on this Earth." Henry said in his mind.
Back to Athena and her friends.
"...He is at the Cafee. He doesn't sound happy." Athena said.
"Seems like you'll need our help after all." Donald said.
"Yeah...Zack, could you give me a ride to the Cafee?" Athena asked.
"Sure." Zack nodded.
Athena, Zack, Donald and Trixie got on the motorcycle and he drove.
Martin was currently standing in front of the Cafee, just waiting. Henry was still inside, with the notebook in his hands and writing something in it.
Athena and her friends arrived at the Cafee. Zack parked his motorcycle.
Martin turned to see Athena.
Henry spotted them as Athena on the street.
"...Good. In five minutes, she will be dead." Henry smiled, looking at his watch.
In the notebook, the new recent name was 'Athena Vixerello: Got crushed by a truck at 4:35 PM'
"Martin!" Athena called out.
Martin walked up to Athena who simply stared at her.
"...Look, you are not happy with me but-"
"No, let me start. First of all, why did you not tell me that you have powers?" Martin asked.
Athena looked shocked.
"...What? What are you talking about? Don't be ridiculous-"
"Tell me the truth, Athena! I'm done with you being mysterious, now tell me!" Martin said.
Athena simply sighed, deciding to not create another Donald and Trixie situation.
"...Yes, I do have powers. But I din't tell you for a good reason. I was trying to keep my family safe." Athena said.
"Do Donald and Trixie know?" Martin asked.
"Yes, they do. But I haven't told them that I do have powers when I first met them." Athena said.
"...So, you told them but you couldn't tell me?" Martin asked.
"Who exactly told you that I have powers?" Athena asked.
"It doesn't matter, what matters is why you din't tell me! Is it because I'm a geek, a dork? It's because I'm not attractive? It's because I'm not good enough for you?" Martin asked.
"It's nothing like that, I din't tell you because I din't want you to get involved in the mess I got myself in and get seriously hurt." Athena said.
"What mess?" Martin asked.
"...It's pretty complicated to understand." Athena said.
"Oh, yeah, I'm sure it is. Look, just tell me...do you even care about me? And now that I know your secret, are you gonna kill me for it?" Martin asked.
"What!? No, of course not! Who told you that I would do such a thing! I would never kill my friends to keep my secret safe. And as for your first question...yes, I do care about you, Martin. But not as a boyfriend, but as a friend. You are a nice guy but you're just not my type. But it doesn't mean we can't be friends." Athena said.
"...Do you really want us to be friends?" Martin asked.
"Yes, of course I do. I mean every word I say Martin. And the others will back me up and will tell you that I mean the truth. So, please, forgive me for what I told you today and I promise that I won't hide any more secrets from you." Athena said.
Martin looked surprised and looked at the ground, not sure what to say.
"...Well...I believe...I guess I'll forgive you..." Martin said.
"So, who told you all that stuff about me?" Athena asked.
"....Well, it was-"
Martin turned around and saw a Truck which was going very fast and it was heading straight towards Athena.
"ATHENA, WATCH OUT!" Martin said.
Martin pushed Athena out of the way and the truck drove past her.
Donald, Trixie and Zack looked shocked.
"Woah!" Trixie said.
Henry looked pissed.
"You moron!" Henry yelled.
Athena's eyes widened, shocked that she was about to get crushed if it wasn't for Martin.
"...Martin...T-thank you." Athena said.
"...N-no problem." Martin said, looking awkward.
The other three ran to Athena and Martin.
"What the hell was that!?" Zack asked.
"You were about to get hit by the truck!" Donald said.
"...I wasn't even standing in the middle of the road...it's like it was meant to kill me. But who could-"
Henry stepped out of the Cafee, his glare set towards Martin.
"Martin, what do you think you were doing!?" Henry asked.
Martin turned to Henry.
"Mr.Henry?" Martin asked.
Athena turned to Martin, looking shocked.
"You know him?" Athena asked.
"He...he is the one who told me about your powers and that you would kill me to keep your secret safe." Martin said.
"...Of course he did." Athena said, glaring at Henry.
"...Shit!" Henry said.
Henry attempted to run but he got blocked by Zack.
"Where do you think you're going, you son of a bitch!? We have some unfinished business!" Zack said.
"...Well, I, uh..." Henry said.
"...Wait a minute...did you write in that notebook to have Athena get killed by that truck?" Donald asked, putting two and two together.
"...That is fucking messed up." Trixie said, glaring at Henry.
"Alright buddy, where are the rest of your Legion pals, huh? Looking for the Jewel? Fess up!" Zack said.
"N-Now now, no need to be so forceful, I'll tell you everything! Hold on, just let me grab something from my coat, I may have the answers you are looking for..." Henry said, putting his hand in his coat.
Athena just simply glared at him.
"Ah, I found it!" Henry said, as he pulled out...his gun.
He shoot at Zack, hitting him in the shoulder.
"GAH!" Zack yelled as he fell on the ground.
"ZACK!" Donald yelled as he and Trixie rushed over to him.
Henry ran off.
"COME BACK HERE!" Athena yelled, running after Henry.
"Are you okay?" Trixie asked.
"...Yeah, I'm fine. Good thing I'm a Omni cause otherwise, I would of needed to go to the hospital." Zack said, before he ripped the bulled out of his shoulder and burned it.
Martin just looked mortified by what he just saw before he turned to Athena.
Henry got in his car, puts in the keys and drove away very quickly.
"He is getting away!" Athena said.
"Oh, he is not getting away with this!" Zack said.
Zack got on his motorcycle and so did Donald and Trixie.
Athena and Martin ran up to them.
"Hey, there is not enough space for us!" Athena said.
"Find yourselves another way! Don't worry, we'll drag the son of a bitch back here once we catch him!" Zack said.
Zack drove off, going after Henry.
"Well, great." Athena sarcastically said.
"So, now what?" Martin asked.
"I don't know, we have to-"
Suddenly, a portal appeared and Marick's or rather White Arrow's motorbike came out of the portal, stopping right next to Athena. The portal closed.
Athena recognized the motorbike and smiled.
"Thanks dad." Athena said.
Athena got on the motorbike and looked at Martin.
"Come on, get on!" Athena said.
"R-right!" Martin said.
Martin sat behind Athena and she drove off on the motorbike, going after Henry.
Henry was currently driving past some cars, trying as best as he can to escape from the group, while ignoring the other drivers cursing him off. Taq was sitting right next to him, just enjoying the show.
"Man, you put yourself in a really fucked up position now." Taq said.
"You're not helping! I have to call the others and get me out of here!" Henry said.
Henry tried to look in his coat for the communicator.
"Where's the damn thing at!?" Henry asked.
Taq looked behind his back.
"....So, those guys are catching up to you." Taq said.
"WHAT!?" Henry asked.
Henry looked through the left mirror of the car and spotted Zack, Trixie and Donald on their motorcycle, catching up to Trixie.
"FUCK! They're getting closer!" Henry said.
Henry grabbed his gun and peered his head out, aiming the gun at them.
"QUIT WHILE YOU ARE AHEAD, YOU MORONS!" Henry yelled.
He shot at the three.
Zack dodged the bullets and shot a fire ball at Henry.
Henry peered back in the car, avoiding the fire ball.
"Can things get much worse!?" Henry asked.
"Well..." Taq said, pointing forwards.
Athena and Martin appeared on sight, riding Marick's motorbike, blocking Henry's path.
"C-CRAP!" Henry yelled.
"You can't escape us now, asshole!" Zack called out.
Herny went to the right and headed towards the forest.
"Let's follow him!" Trixie said.
Zack and Athena turned to the right and headed into the forest, after Henry.
Meanwhile, the Black Crow, Chronos, Ate and Seth were watching from the screen the action.
"What is that idiot doing?" Ate asked.
"He attempted to kill the girl, only to fail. Now, he is being chased." Black Crow said.
"If they manage to catch him and if he tells them everything, he will be a liability." Chronos said.
"Indeed." Black Crow said.
He turned to Seth.
"We can't let that happen, now can we?" Black Crow asked.
Seth simply grinned in response.
Back in the forest.
Henry was driving very fast.
"...They're gonna catch me, and once they do, I'm screwed....I never thought I would have to resort to this...Taq" Henry said.
"Huh?" Taq asked.
"Let's make the deal. I'll give you half of my life span, just give me the eyes to kill them!" Henry said.
"About time." Taq smiled.
The group were on their vehicles, they were catching up to Henry.
"We're closing in on him!" Donald said.
"We'll catch him, now!" Athena said.
Back in the car, Henry's were suddenly red as he was smiling.
"So, this is the power of a Shinigami, huh?" Henry asked.
Henry peered his head out, looking at the ones who were chasing him. He can see some names and numbers above their heads, the numbers representing their life spans.
"Yes, I got them now!" Henry said.
Henry got out of his gun and started shooting at the teenagers.
They avoided the shots and Zack threw a fire ball at Henry's hand.
The fire ball hit Henry's hand.
"GAH!" Henry yelled, as he peered back in the car and dropped the gun on his seat. His hand was bleeding and some of his blood landed on the ground when he got hit.
Henry attempted to get the Notebook and write their names while focusing on their names.
"All I have to do is just write their names and their finished!" Henry said.
"Zack, try to hit the wheels!" Athena suggested.
"GOTCHA!" Zack said.
Zack threw a fire ball at a wheel and it was caught on fire. Henry lost control of his car.
"AAAAAAAH!" Henry yelled.
The car was going very fast and...
CRASH!
He ended up crashing the car into a tree.
The group stopped their vehicles right behind the car and got off their vehicles, approaching the car.
"Oh shit!" Zack said.
"...Holy crap!" Trixie said.
"We have to get him out of the car and make sure he is okay!" Donald said.
The car's door opened, smashing it's window in the process and Henry, who's hair was messy, had shards impaled in his shoulder, a cut on his cheek and was bleeding slightly, crawled out of the car with the Notebook and his gun and was currently breathing in and out.
Athena attempted to approach Henry.
"Are you alright?" Athena asked.
Henry immediately turned to Athena.
"STAY BACK! With this notebook, I can kill you in a second!" Henry said.
Zack shot a fire ball at Henry, hitting his hand and causing him to drop the notebook.
Zack grabbed the notebook from him.
"Now you won't kill anyone anymore with this damn notebook you-Holy crap!" Zack yelled, his eyes widened at what he saw.
"Zack, what's wrong?" Donald asked.
Taq was currently standing in front of Zack. Zack could see him now.
"Hey." Taq waved.
"...W-who-who the hell are you!?" Zack asked.
"Oh, I'm the Shinigami who owns the notebook. If your friends touch it, they can see me too." Taq said.
"...Okaay..." Zack said.
"Zack, who are you talking to?" Athena asked.
"...Touch the Notebook and you'll see." Zack said.
Athena raised an eyebrow but she, Martin, Donald and Trixie touched the notebook and they saw Taq.
"THE HELL!?" Trixie asked.
"WHAT IS THAT!?" Donald asked.
Athena immediately grabbed her gun and shot a plasma bolt at Taq, it phased through him and hits the car instead.
"Yeah, you guys can't kill a Shinigami." Taq said.
"...Are...are you the one who gave this notebook to him?" Athena asked.
"Yup, that's me. I thought it would of been interested but so far, it's been disappointing. I wouldn't mind if you guys killed him, you would save me from the trouble of doing it myself." Taq said, pointing at Henry.
"...No, we are not murderers. We are not like him." Athena said.
Athena turned to Henry who simply raised his gun towards Athena. What he was seeing right now wasn't Athena herself, what he was seeing was Omni-Athena.
"...Get...get away from you...you demon!" Henry said, his hand shaking while holding the gun.
Athena used her telekinesis and took the gun from Henry throwing it away.
"We are not gonna do anything bad to you. Not all people with powers are monsters. We are the good guys. The guys who you are working with are demons that you fear." Athena said.
In the forest, someone approached a puddle of Henry's blood that was dropped on the ground after Zack burned his hand. That someone was Seth.
He crouched down and covered his fingers in Henry's blood. He began to lick Henry's blood.
After he licked his blood, some symbols started appearing all over his body and a circle with a Sigil on it appeared around his feet.
"Heheheh, seems like I'll be the one to kill you after all." Seth said.
He puts his hand in his robe and pulled out a Lance.
He aimed the Lance at his own chest and...
It cuts back to Henry who simply stared at the rest and then...
"GUAH!" Henry yelled, his eyes widened.
It cuts back to Seth, who's Lance was now stuck in his own chest, impailing right where his heart is. Seth's mouth was bleeding but he was smiling, not looking to be in pain at all.
"Goodbye, human." Seth said.
It cuts back to the others.
Henry fell on his knees, his life flashing before his eyes. He began to remember the day...when he found out about his wife.
FLASHBACK
"YOU LYING WHORE!" Henry yelled.
"HENRY, PLEASE-"
Henry simply smacked Juliana away from him. They were in the baby's room and inside the crib was a white haired baby who was crying.
"All this time, you were one of them! One of those demons! And you have the worst power of them all!" Henry yelled.
"Please, Henry, forgive me! I'm sorry for lying to you, I wanted to keep this as a secret for our safety, aswell as for Judas!" Juliana said.
"You tricked me you bitch! Not only did I fall in love with you, but I also helped create a new hellspawn!" Henry said.
"Don't call him that! He is your son!" Juliana said.
"I don't have a son! I don't want to be married to someone who is a mutant like my monstrous mother was! I don't want to have anything to do with you or this baby!" Henry said.
"Henry!" Juliana screamed.
"SHUT IT DEMON! I'm calling the police!" Henry said as he walked out of the room, going downstairs.
"No!" Juliana said, running after him.
30 minutes passed and the police were in front of the house, dragging Juliana out of the house, with handcuffs on her.
"HENRY! PLEASE, STOP THEM! THINK OF JUDAS! HENRY!" Juliana yelled.
Juliana was put in the police car and was taken away.
Henry was standing there, looking angry, with Taq at his side.
"...Fucking demon!" Henry said, going upstairs with Taq following. The next thing he would do is drop the baby at a Foster home, thus cutting off his ties with wife and son for good.
END OF FLASHBACK
Henry hits the ground, his eyes slowly closing.
The others just stood there, looking shocked.
Athena puts her hand on him.
"...He...he is dead!" Athena said.
"How did that happen!? He din't write his own name in the notebook!" Zack said, checking it out.
"Huh, looks like the Legion guys got tired of him. Oh well, now guess I'll go back to the Shinigami world now. I'll be taking that, thank you." Taq said, grabbing the notebook from Zack's hands.
Taq opened his wings and flew into the sky before disappearing.
"...Well, there he goes." Trixie said.
"And the Legion lost another member. This is the second time one of them died in front of us." Donald sighed.
Athena turned around, she thought she sensed something.
"...I suddenly felt a really sinister presence in the forest...it's...nothing I felt before. I don't know how to describe it but it's kinda like how my dad described to me about a little girl who had the essence of a demon inside her." Athena said.
"That's not good." Donald said.
"...Well, it's gone now." Athena said.
She turned to Martin.
"Are you okay. Sorry you had to see this." Athena said.
"...I'm okay...I just want to go home now." Martin said.
Athena nodded before she looked at Henry's corpse.
"...We should take him to the ISP to have him checked out, find out how he died." Athena said.
At the ISP base.
Athena was in the medical bay. Dasawert was checking Henry's corpse, having to cut open his chest to find the motive behind his death.
"...Good Lord." Dasawert said.
"What?" Athena asked.
"...There is a hole in his heart. It's like it was stabbed with a sharp object." Dasawert said.
"How could this be?" Athena asked.
"I don't know. Are you sure you din't see him stabbing himself in the chest with something?" Dasawert asked.
"No definitely not." Athena said.
"....Then, I guess this must be the doing of another Legion member who might have the same power as that notebook Henry carried with him...but more deadlier than the Notebook." Dasawert said.
"I was afraid of that. Thank you for your help." Athena said.
"Don't mention it. Once i'm done with the autopsy, I'll give the report to Jaden. It might prove useful when you are gonna face against the Legion member who killed Henry." Dasawert said.
"I see." Athena sighed.
At the Citadel of Crows, the 10 members gathered in the meeting room.
"...I'm afraid that Henry is now dead. We have lost yet another member of the Legion." Black Crow sighed.
"Halleluhaj." Ate said.
"Oh, Lord, he is dead. I shall never forget Henry and how much of a nice person he was." Veronica sarcastically said.
"Were we able to recover the notebook atleast?" Chronos asked.
"Unfortnately, no. The Shinigami took it and went back to it's world. We have lost the most useful weapon to us, thanks to that girl once again." Black Crow said.
"Did Henry atleast get her name?" Micro asked.
"Yes...her name is...Athena Vixerello." Black Crow said.
This caught Sin, Veronica and Ate's attention. Ate's eyes started to glow yellow.
"...Athena Vixerello, you say?...Hm, I wonder where I heard that name before..." Veronica said.
"Hm." Sin simply said.
"...That's the same name of the girl who was with the guardian who killed Erebus. The Tartarus Clan is heavily involved with the humans now." Seth said.
Ate din't say anything, she just looked pissed.
"....I see..." Ate said.
"As for the Jewel...we haven't found out where it's location could be just yet. We have to continue our search and find it before the ISP does." Black Crow said.
"Confirmed." Micro said.
Chameleon simply looked over at Kross and Zhovet...and raised his eyebrow when he saw some cans of soup in front of them.
"...Don't...even...ask." Kross said.
Back on Earth.
It was night and everyone was at the school dance.
It was taking place in the sport room and everyone was dancing. Zack was currently dancing with a girl who wasn't one of the fangirls and Trixie was dancing with Jason.
Athena was in her brown dress and looking at Martin, who was in his tuxedo and looking at his cup, sighing.
Donald walked up to Athena.
"So, haven't found a partner, huh?" Athena asked.
"Nope. You?" Donald asked.
Athena just looked at Martin.
"...I said that there is no way I would ever dance with Martin but...after he saved me today from getting killed by Henry...I might aswell return the favor." Athena said.
"Return the favor?...You are gonna...dance with him?" Donald asked.
"...He and I will never become a couple...but...he deserves this atleast." Athena said.
Athena walked up to Martin who looked at her.
"Oh, hi." Martin said.
"Hi...So, haven't found someone to dance with?" Athena asked.
"...I...well...no." Martin sighed.
"Well, me neither...But, you got one now." Athena smiled.
Martin looked surprised, staring at Athena with shock.
"...You...you're serious!?" Martin asked.
"I am. I owe you one for saving me so...you deserve to atleast get to dance with me." Athena said.
"...Athena I...I...I don't know what to say...thanks." Martin said.
"But, remember, after the dance, we will be friends. Just that friends. Okay?" Athena asked.
"Okay, it's a deal!" Martin smiled.
Athena smiled before she held Martin's hand and both of them began dancing, enjoying every single bit.
