 Re: Where're they now? (I've lost my MOM)
(Honestly, talk about thinking all high and mighty about yourself. Zeus' son? sheesh  lol)
(Crud a long one again. I will try to make this the last one though  ok?)
Shaddow saw the others huddled around him, still in the Outpost.
General Jay, to say he was confused here was an understatement. He was managing to grasp what was happening, when he felt something. He had this strange feeling that someone was coming, almost like an extra sense.
Aphrodite knew the look on his face, even though she could read his mind, she needn't had because she knew instantly, from the look on his face, what he was thinking...
"You sense something coming do you not? You sense evil, I can tell. It is not the doctor because you would know instantly, you would sense his Godly powers. If you concentrate though you can sense where on the planet he is right now. Be careful though, if you choose to sense him, he will know who is sensing him, and where you are."
Jay stood up. He knew that a dozen of Doctor Know-It-All's men were heading towards this continent in fighter jets...
"OK, there's only one thing we can do here. I've sensed something is wrong here ever since we first arrived. I knew there was something strange when shaddow entered here, but I brushed it off, now I know what it is. However, there is something more going on here. I sense something different about Mel and Jane. And I also sense something different about myself. What is it about us three? We have some kind of connection to the Atlanteans, what is it?"
"I was hoping you would not be able to sense that. Yes, I must admit it, all three of you are connected to the Atlanteans. Athena had an affair with a human male. This went on for exactly ten years. She became pregnant three different times. It should never have happened, it should never have been possible, yet it happened three times. She gave birth to a daughter. A few years later she gave birth to a son. And a few years later she gave birth to a daughter. Each time the child was given to a family desperate for a child, or in some cases, another child. The eldest of her children was named Jane. Her son was named Jason. And her youngest, her favourite, was name Melinda. It was destined that her children would join together when an evil force threatened the world. They would join up with the true son of Zeus himself. Only through the combined efforts of these Atlantean children would the world be purged of this hatred and evil."
Mel and Jane were stunned. Shaddow couldn't believe what he was hearing was the truth, but he wasn't overly bothered either way. Jay knew instantly that what he was told was the truth.
"Then you didn't actually give me your powers did you? You just unlocked mine. I'm now able to unlock Mel's, Jane's and Shaddow's powers aren't I? Also, you're not human are you? Zeus sent you here because he needed these events to happen. He needed you to get us to fully gain and accept our powers, didn't he? You couldn't just tell us could you? What I went through was more or less for nothing, wasn't it?"
Jay was beginning to show his frustration now. One month, ONE MONTH, he had wasted on those darn trials and he needn't have. He was starting to boil over. He felt pure rage, suddenly a hailstorm erupted inside the room. Stronger and stronger it got. The angrier Jay got the stronger the storm became. He realised what powers were his, the ability to control the seasons and the weather. Basically he was now Mother Nature, or should that be Father Nature? 
He looked at his three friends, all cowering from the extreme weather he was causing. He began to calm down when he realised what he was doing, and how he was making them feel.
The calmer he got the more the storm dissipated, until it had finally stopped. He suddenly understood everything. He had the warmest of feelings enter his body. It started from his heart, and radiated around him. Suddenly the room started to get warmer, until it was as warm as a summer evening. A light breeze also appeared just so they didn't get too warm.
Mel was the first to speak up...
"OK, I'm not totally sure what's going on here, but I have to admit, that was pretty cool, apart from the er terrifying bit about the storm. It is nice and warm now though. I wonder what powers I have."
She began to concentrate, but she started to get images in her mind. Suddenly she wanted a can of Dr. Pepper. She thought about that can of Dr. Pepper. All other thoughts disappeared from her head. Suddenly, in midair, directly in front of her face, an object started to appear. It grew from complete nothingness. It grew and grew until, floating in midair, was a can of delicious Dr. Pepper. Everyone was startled by this ability.
Mel reached out and plucked the can out of the air. She slowly eased the ringpull up, and opened the can of soda. She expected it to explode or disappear, but nothing. She then tilted her head back slightly and with it the can, until the liquid began to exit the can and enter her mouth. She took a mouthful and put her head back forward and the can back to its regular upright position. She moved the liquid around in her mouth for a minute or so until she had got as much taste as she could, then swallowed.
Jane was the first to ask the question everyone wanted to know the answer to...
"So? Does it taste like it's meant to taste? Is it a can of Dr. Pepper?"
Mel stared at her, then a smile crept over her face.
"It sure is. This is so cool. It's an actual can of Dr. Pepper. I just thought about it. Put all other thoughts out of my mind and it appeared."
Jay once again caught onto what Mel could do. He turned to Aphrodite once more...
"She can make inanimate objects appear from nothingness can't she? As long as it is not living, she can think about it and it appears. I'm right aren't I?"
Aphrodite just smiled again to confirm what he had asked was correct.
By this time, Jane was getting slightly annoyed. She was more and more confused as to what was going on. She just wished she could get away. Or better yet, that she could just stop time and take a break to try to understand what was going on.
She wished and wished that she could stop time. She looked at her watch and noticed the second hand was beginning to slow down. "Oh great, now my watch is slowing down. Can anything else happen to me?" she thought to herself. Suddenly the second hand came to a complete stop.
She looked up and noticed that everybody had stopped talking. In fact they'd stopped moving altogether.
She moved around them, trying to see why they would stop moving. She didn't like this game. She wished she could make them move.
She then looked at her watch and the second hand began to slowly move once again. Faster and faster it got until it was moving once again at the correct speed.
Everyone looked directly at the space where Jane had been, but she was gone. Mel turned and nearly had a heart attack when she saw Jane standing behind Jay.
"What the...? How did you get there?"
Everyone turned wondering who Mel was talking to. Jay and Shaddow nearly had a heart attack at the exact same time when they saw Jane had somehow moved from one side of the room to the other in the blink of an eye, or what they thought was a blink of the eye.
Jay again looked at Aphrodite. This time she said nothing but instead looked directly into the eyes of Jay. She flashed the most obvious smile ever and then broke into a fit of laughter.
Mel was now super confused...
"OK, now what is she laughing at? I don't get what's so funny."
"I do," said Jay. "She's laughing because of what Jane can do. I can't quite pinpoint what her power is though. I've narrowed it down to two. She can either teleport from one place to another in the blink of an eye, or she can stop time itself. Literally stop it so that nothing moves apart from her."
Aphrodite continued laughing at Jay's first suggestion, but stopped when he made the second. That's when he knew she could indeed control time itself.
"So let me get this straight. Between myself, Mel and Jane. We can control nature, make anything appear that we want, as long as it isn't alive, and even stop time itself. Now one of those by themselves is amazing, but to have all three working together...That's how we're going to stop Dr. Know-It-All. But what about Shaddow?"
Aphrodite finally spoke again...
"Isn't it obvious? He needs to go back to his father. Only Shaddow, or should I say Icare, has the ability to reactivate Atlantis fully. Once all of the cities systems are online, he will be able to fly the city to wherever it is needed. You must all meet him at a designated place and then enter the city. Only by linking yourselves to the city will you be able to activate it's most powerful weapon. The combined ability of nature, summoning, and time will bring about The Holy one. The creature with the purest of souls. The creature that is the only thing capable of destroying the purest of evils. We gave it the codename "Omega" because of its devastating capabilities. We refused to summon it ever, because of its power."
Jay was really intrigued now, just as the others were...
"What's his name?"
Mel and Jane looked at Jay, confused, and spoke together...
"His name?"
A smirk appeared across Aphrodite's face. She then spoke his name...
"His name is...
ALEXANDER"  |
