Area 2, Planet Tetris

“Tetris, a single planet far from the Cube Planets; on the space map its west. Before the fight started I travelled here to Tetris, waiting for Yasae’s return to the Virtual. I travelled back in time to Tetris to when a young girl called Ozaskger was turning fifteen, while Yasae and Rosie during that time were trying to infiltrate Midnight’s tower on Cube. Midnight and the Light Staff have teleported here into separate places, the Pendant Staff is with Navy, and Yasae was sent to the spirit world. The poor girl can’t return here into Virtual until the time is right. I’m off to watch Ozaskger carefully now.”
“Remember, you must give your identity when you finish your report. Now what is your name?” A radio call had been given to the mysterious girl that was in a golden yellow city with yellow sky and clouds. She smiled slightly and replied.
“My name... Tantrum,” She said. [Tantrum has the power to travel forward or back in time, and see visions of past and future and see all outcomes. She has a side element power of Night]
“All right, but don’t give it out to anyone else if someone could be listening. Over and out,” A small beep was heard meaning the connection was turned off; she turned around and set off to a small palace. The palace had four cone topped towers, one at each corner. Medium sized walls surrounded it well like any castle can. Oh I’ll remember well, after all when Yasae returns, she’ll want more answers from me. But I have a plan where she won’t remember who I am when the crash strike comes or during her time in the Shadow World. [Crash Strike is where two planets collide into each other on their orbits] Tantrum walked on towards the palace, at the gate was two guards of strength; they wore silver armour over their front and back. Leather boots of brown were worn on their feet and silver armour shorts that were flexible to move in. They used great large axes that crossed each other while Tantrum approached them.
“Halt! Who dares to approach the palace?” One guard shouted and moved his axe and held it at Tantrum’s head. Tantrum didn’t stir from the mighty axe held in front of her face. She closed her eyes and raised her hand to touch the side of the axe; reopening them again she pushed the axe aside which then hit the other guard.
“I’m here to be Ozaskger’s watcher, I’ve heard rumours about a kidnapper on the lose trying to capture her. I had been brought her by your queen’s message to guard her. It will be catastrophic if Ozaskger was missing from the palace because of that kidnapper, Thief of Fire. The one who steals all fire energy from this world every day, if only the Fire Guardian of the Fire Sword was brought here; where we could lure him into a trap. A backup plan is also to be made if he tries to escape, the Shadow Guardian of the Shadow Sword will surely be the one to do it. Cause of the Water Guardian of the Water Sword unfortunately has past away and no one to claim the sword to defeat this Thief of Fire.” [There are five main element guardians of five swords: Fire, Shadow, Electric, Earth and Water] Tantrum was speaking so dramatic to the guards; they started crying because everything she said was true. All that dramatic stuff is annoying but is useful in times like this. “I need to see the queen so she knows I’m here for the job. I need to get started before something dreadful happens to her.” With the gates opened a bit suitable for one person to go through. “Thank you.” She walked into palace grounds; a set of stairs headed to golden coloured doors, behind Tantrum the gates slowly closed.

Inside the throne room were long pillars and two end corridors, a wide hall with mirrored tiles, two thrones stood at end of the room. The king and Queen sat in them watching their young children run around hall playing a game of Elements [This game is where someone picks an element and someone is the enemy element]. The Queen smiled as she watched them have joy in their hearts, she looked to her left to find three of her children; two girls and a boy come in. They were older than the young kids; she looked to her right passed the King to see two older boys and an older girl. Her precious daughter was yet to come, but she never showed up.
The joy died down to silence; the kids looked up to the golden door, in front was a Tantrum in dark clothing like night. The young children turned and ran to their mother; the Queen got up out of her throne and kneeled down to hug them all, but some stood behind her or the two thrones with their father. The two older boys ran in front of the King and Queen and drew swords from their side. Tantrum paid no attention to them and walked forward to the every centre. She looked around her and above her head; above were soldiers on a hidden balcony ready to fire arrows.
“This is well sorted out for security here; even when you must check the person that comes in.” Tantrum began but the golden clothed boy with brown ginger hair tightened his grip on his sword.
“Who are you and why are you here?” He shouted to Tantrum while the other boy; with green clothing of grass and leaves tightened his grip as well. Tantrum closed her eyes at them and shook her head.
“Sparker, unfortunately I can’t say who I am, I’m forbidden. I’m here to protect your younger sister which hasn’t shown up yet. She’s still on the corridor and walking quiet slow, is she unsure about her new bodyguard today?” Tantrum opened her eyes to see Sparker; he was surprised that she knew his name, and he felt such power in her. “Sparkerita; don’t worry, Ozaskger is in safe hands if I watch her.” The small children were looking at Tantrum, and then turned to their mother in wonder. Sparker raised his sword so it was pointing to the ceiling; while the boy next to him put his sword’s sharp end onto the mirrored tiles’ lines. “So these are the positions of the Electric Guardian of the Electric Sword, and the Earth Guardian of the Earth Sword [Each guardian must stand in position to let their natural element know they are going to be used]. Save your strength for other battles, you’ll need it.”
“Sparker! Riowner! Desist now, you can’t match that power.” Their Queen cried, her King stood up and looked forward past Sparker and Riowner to see Tantrum. He was wearing an open crimson jacket with rubies along the lining.
“Sparkerita my love,” He began and looked at his Queen; she was wear dress like at a wedding but was a colour of cream with sapphires around the all the linings done on her dress, long hair as blonde as her dress, Sparkerita looked up at him. “I think this is who we sent for from Sarin, those that always get a power when they are born. She’s a Sarinian girl, who knows what power she has.” They both looked at Tantrum with wonder, her gaze changed to her right, looking down through the corridor. Sparker and Riowner headed to the side near that corridor but in the corner of Sparker’s eye was a girl in blue clothing like any normal girl; she had long brown hair which was mistaken as being black.
“It’s her isn’t it Sparker? Ozaskger your sister that I have to guard, one that wants to be like you.” Tantrum kept saying which annoyed him because she knew everything about them.

“Stop with the seeing the future trick or the mind reading trick of yours!” Sparker shouted and looked at her. Tantrum turned and looked at him; his face showed that he got nervous when she turned to him.
“Who’s doing the future sights or mind readings? Huh...”Ozaskger was rubbing out sleep from her eyes and then saw Tantrum had switched expressions with Sparker when she came in. No, Ozaskger looks just like Yasae; I can see the future but not what they look like. She’s more precious than her parents think. Tantrum thought and tried not to lose it and had to give information to them. “Who is this?” Ozaskger asked Sparkerita; she was confused when she saw Tantrum in the centre of the hall. If this is the new bodyguard, I was expecting someone strong and big like those guards at the gate. Ozaskger slowly stepped forward towards Tantrum still unsure about her; she was now properly face to face with her. “Hi, you probably know who I am but what’s your name? You can tell me, well in my room.” Tantrum thought about it and listened into the future;
“Wait, why do you know where I’ll be every time? Since Sparker says you know everything going on around you; if it’s true, who am I really? Answer me now!”
“What’s the point telling; someone might zap you with a memory eraser again. You’ll forget everything I’ve told you.”
Tantrum came back to Virtual and finally spoke. “Well... huh!” Tantrum looked around her in alarm. “He’s here,” Her voice came to a whisper still looking around; a hand touched hers which caused her to look. Ozaskger was quite nervous so she held onto Tantrum, it was so she felt save. Tantrum smiled and gripped her hand tight just in case. Torches on the sides where Sparker and Riowner were stood and on the opposite side went out too quickly. “Thief of Fire, he wants the next person in line for the Water Sword to become the Water Guardian.” Tantrum thought who it would be; she then sensed what she was looking for and turned to Ozaskger. This double of Yasae is the next Water Guardian of the Water Sword but I don’t sense all of the pieces yet. Something is missing in this world; she can’t draw for the sword unless she has that last piece. Oh well; it will be a while until I find it. The children with Sparkerita were getting scared; the two girls and the boy were holding hands in a chain with a side guard. Sparker and Riowner were cautious with their swords; Sparker had closed his eyes trying to sense the Thief of Fire’s presence. Riowner was left needing to hear for him, the King had his own sword called the Ying Yang Sword [The Ying Yang is difficult to weld unless the welder’s soul has the right pieces, but the welder can control the sword or it controls the welder]. He held it high in the air.
“I call upon the Ying power of light!” He shouted but something yanked it out of his hand. Tantrum had heard that command on a different planet. “What! Sparker your element!” He turned to Sparker; he opened his eyes and nodded.
“Call of lightning!” Sparker then raised his sword to point at the ceiling of the hall so fast a spark of light flew up to the centre and sent down a shower of electricity. Tantrum lifted her free hand above her palm face up. A purple coloured disc grew in her hand turned into a large transparent umbrella head, what they called a force shield. It kept Tantrum and Ozaskger safe from suffering more damage from the electric showers. Above them all was a large vortex on the ceiling; it was now pulling up the electricity through which caused a suction inside the vortex. “Grab hold onto something that is stuck to the ground, get out of there.” Tantrum’s shield wore off; the arrow men had left the hidden balcony above. Tantrum reached to her belt and pulled out a cable gun. This gun had a four hooked end that let up to high places, Ozaskger seemed confused.
“How will that help? We don’t want to go up.”
“No; go across; take off a side of a mirrored tile when I say.” Tantrum fired at a pillar near Sparkerita, it then swung around the pillar and caught on itself. “Now!” Tantrum looked at Ozaskger taking the side of the tile off the floor. Tantrum placed her cable gun under the tile, and pushed the tile onto her gun. “Lets go, I don’t know how long it will stay down that tile.” Tantrum and Ozaskger held onto the cable tightly, their feet were pulled off the floor. We’re not going to make it, redo history and still get the actual outcome; that was easy. Ozaskger behind her lost her grip, but Tantrum noticed and grabbed her hand.
“Please, don’t let go of me.” Ozaskger cried to Tantrum but she remembered something in her past.
“Tantrum please, don’t let go. Your parents will be proud of you get us to safety. Please, don’t do that mistake again.” [Tantrum in the past had been in this condition but inside a factory and released her parent to fall into the lava. The memory is painful inside her heart]
“Hey! Hey! The tile’s going to get caught into the vortex, we got to hurry.” Ozaskger was shouting to Tantrum to hurry so much. A shift was heard, the tile was moving out of place and Tantrum had only reached half way of the cable. A sudden sense from something came to Tantrum and Sparker, who had dropped down his arm with his sword in panic.
“Look out!” Sparker cried, looking from Tantrum and his sister to the vortex; a ball of fire fell towards the other end of the cable and snapped the cable. Tantrum and Ozaskger flew even higher up, even closer to the vortex. Ozaskger screamed with fear and shredding tears of sadness; Tantrum just looked up to her panicking so much. Tantrum looked back to the ground where the lose tile was, it was still being pulled up but how long will it stay in there? If I lose grip, I lose my only cable gun or hold on longer until the tile slips out. Tantrum thought as she was losing grip on the wire and Ozaskger. “Ozaskger! Turn on that locket under your top!” Sparker shouted again to them, she nodded pulling her free hand towards her neck and then under her top. She pulled out a hemisphere metal made of silver; it was shiny and able to see yourself in it. [Ozaskger’s locket contains a tracker; it sends a beckon to Sparker’s navigator mentioned further on] A small switch was on the flat surface, Ozaskger’s thumb pushed the switch so it was on; Tantrum looked to see her turn it on, but to her nothing happened. Ozaskger then put it back under her top, looking back at Sparker so upset. Does this mean I’ll likely to get sucked in? Ozaskger thought, then Sparker nodded, he was upset to lose her.
“What is that anyway?” Tantrum asked but when Ozaskger turned to her, she gave a sudden gasp. She’s seeing a vision. But only ones with special powers can do that! Tantrum thought as Ozaskger gazed into her short vision.
She was falling from a waterfall with an unusual weapon; it was like a trident but darker. Then she saw someone like her fall after her with an arrow like weapon, she held out her hand to Ozaskger and she held her hand to her. A shine of light gleamed inside their clasped hands. “United, we are one. We become like immortal.” Came a voice in her vision, it was the falling person with her.
“Ozaskger, listen up that tile is almost out and I’m losing my grip on you.” Tantrum shouted, she knocked out of the vision and looked at her. A shift from the tile again caused it to come out and get sucked up. The two teens that were holding onto the wire got pulled up into the vortex and out of sight. The vortex shrunk and disappeared from the room.
“Ozaskger!” Sparkerita cried to the ceiling, putting her hands over her face and started to cry. The younger children started to cry with her, maids from both corridors came through and took a child each and took them back down the corridors to their rooms. Her King bent down to her side and hugged her tight.
Sparker and Riowner felt ashamed for losing their sister, they then looked at the older girl beside them. She was wearing cream and pink top and trousers, with hair short and brown. She was shredding tears as she looked into the centre of the hall where the mirrored tile had been taken out. She then blinked with surprise and turned to Sparker and Riowner.
“Ozaskger has her tracker on remember,” she said to them showing an expression with hope. “There’s still a chance to save them from the Thief of Fire.” Sparker and Riowner shared her expression with her, and then looked at each other. Sparker reached into his pocket and drew out a flat, metal gadget. It was small but it had a small radar screen [like what Galax and Rosie found that was called a navigator]; a small triangular pyramid popped into the air above it. A light on the radar was flashing in the top right corner. Sparker pushed a purple button on the bottom of the radar; the triangular pyramid then formed a piece of land and the flashing light was on a mountain in the top right corner.
“If we never had this at all, that locket won’t help. Who ever has one of these is dead lucky if they want to find precious things.” Riowner mentioned and pointed to the mountain. “That must be where that Thief of Fire is keeping Ozaskger. The mountains, but if that protector of Ozaskger’s has been teleported somewhere else; we won’t find them both.” He moved his finger away from the hologram mountain and turned to look out the window. Outside the palace walls, were the roofs of the houses in the city. Beyond them was a single mountain, at the top it was like a crater which mistaken the mountain as a volcano. “Well it’s not far to go. It’s just outside the city, Victorian. But you better stay here for our return with Pinpin and the other two.” Riowner turned to Sparker and Victorian; they were surprised they didn’t need fast equipment to get there. “So, are we going to plan this or not?”

Inside the vortex just it had closed; Tantrum and Ozaskger redone their grip to make it tighter. Unfortunately during half way, Tantrum had lost her grip on Ozaskger completely and got pulled out of the vortex by the current and fell to the ground outside the city. Ozaskger was pulled through to the other side and landed into a barred cell.
Tantrum changed her falling position so she landed onto her feet so gently. She was facing the single mountain that was right in front of her.
“Hmm...” Tantrum murmured, three circles surrounded her and span up and down her; and disappeared.
Tantrum found herself inside a dark corridor; there were no windows or torches to light the way. Suddenly she shifted to her right where a dark figure fell past her. “It was a good thing I can see in the dark, otherwise I wouldn’t have moved out of the way.” The figure groaned holding his hand to his head and shaking it, they looked up Tantrum; she had went under her cloak and reached for a mini gun. She had it held right at the figure’s dark face; running steps were getting louder behind her. “Oh, one more thing; I’m no sinner.” [In this world, a sinner kills for evil ways only] Tantrum pulled the trigger and killed the dark figure, falling to the ground. She then turned around and her arm with the mini gun; and shot five more bullets at the running backup.

Sparker and Riowner had reached a path up the single mountain outside of the city. On the sides of the path was only tall grass and tall trees, while even higher has rocks standing out of the mountain. The path was small and narrow and worn out from owning grass of its own. Sparker lead Riowner up the path through the tall grass, Riowner left the path and entered the tall trees and grass so he was camouflaged in their colours and unable to be seen. He was trying to scare Sparker from a surprise attack of jumping in front of him. Sparker kept going on the path with his right hand on his sword, ready for Riowner’s strike.
“What’s the point Rio, you try every time and fail. I know you’re in the tall grass beside me.” Sparker called to him, Riowner exited the path in an orderly fashion not far in front of Sparker. “Gets you every time; you’re not supposed to do something that will give yourself away. Everyone does it to drive enemies or spies out from hiding. If your not careful Riowner there is one of that Thief of Fire’s troops up ahead, or maybe there is two.” Sparker continued on and on, up ahead two troops were chatting to themselves that Sparker knew they were there. Both jumped out of their hiding places inside the tall grass near the hard rocks; then they realised Sparker and Riowner had gone from the path. “See! You need stupid enough to fall for that trick now.” The troops turned around and looked up at the rocks; Sparker and Riowner were behind one each with swords drawn out.
“My terrain, my rules; Earth Shake!” Riowner shouted, throwing his sword down to the bottom of the rock where the soil was. As the sword entered the ground; there was an earthquake below the troops feet, the ground opened and swallowed the two troops whole. “More like a fissure strike there.” Riowner mentioned to Sparker and reached across the air above his sword. He focused on the sword to return to his hand; the sword quickly pulled itself out of the ground and flew into Riowner’s palm. Sparker and Riowner jumped off the two rocks and headed up the path.
At the top of the mountain was a dug cave, Sparker and Riowner had turned around to see their city at the bottom of the mountain. The sun was beginning to set in the plain land beyond the city. Sparker’s clothing was turning a darker colour of orange as the sun set.
“Tetris City looks beautiful from up here, especially when it’s the evening.” Sparker said in amazement and turned to Riowner. He was about to enter the cave without him, Sparker walked over to join him and drew their swords with caution. The cave contained no light as they walked further into the cave; as they turned a corner, Sparker and Riowner stopped frozen. Quiet steps were getting louder and heading towards them. “Troops,” Sparker whispered to Riowner. “Rio, get your headgear out and take the lead. I’ll follow your steps.” [Riowner’s headgear is like Rosie’s but contains night vision] Riowner got out his navigator from his belt and slipped it over his head and eyes. Through Riowner’s eyes; he saw troops like the palace guards but their armour was the colour of bronze, they had night vision also but had no need for a navigator. They could see in the dark every easily since they saw Riowner and Sparker in front of them.
“Let’s go!” Riowner shouted, swinging his sword through the air; as he stopped his sword pointing at the troops, sharp leaves flew out of the sword at great speed heading towards them. Sparker behind him pulled back his sword so the tip was beside him and pushed it forward like stabbing the air; lightning shot out of the iron metal towards the troops. The sharp leaves had made their arms and legs numb and cut right through the armour. The electricity came next and gave them quite a shocking pain, also giving out light to see the troops shaking. Sparker and Riowner gripped their swords and returned them to caution position. The electricity stopped, the troops stood in shock in a while, then they fell to the ground; they were dead.
“At least we’re on the side good and don’t get called sinners, other wise we’ll be an outcast from Tetris City.” Sparker spoke quietly and looked at Riowner by his side. “But in another world, a sinner doesn’t mean how we call one here.” Riowner looked back to him and nodded and looked onward through the cave.
“The cave is going to lead into a corridor, leading to the Thief of Fire’s hide away. As we go on, there will be more troops guarding the corridors so we need to be careful.” As Riowner ended, Sparker went ahead for a bit and replied.
“There is no need to tell me twice, we’ve been in places like this; it’s no different.” Both started to run through the cave and corridors, defeating troops with there swords of power. There were twists and twines like a maze, as they went on; their shots were more accurate and learned a few more abilities on the way.
On a corner, Sparker suddenly halted and pulled back Riowner at was just about to run past him, behind him. A small group of troops were seeing to fallen troops, a torch was lit to see the proper injury. They were shot! Someone else was here before us, who could have got in before us. The Sarin! It must be. Sparker thought in confusion. But they would have got rid of anyone they don’t want, so how did she get back in? Sparker took a step forward around corner followed by Riowner; they had their swords ready. The troops were counted as a number of three; they looked up at them in horror. All three drew swords of their own and charged at Sparker and Riowner. The two boys looked at each other and then back to the troops, both of them swung their swords horizontally at the other swords. All three swords seemed unharmed until half of the blades fell to the ground. More damage was done; Sparker’s and Riowner’s swords were dripping a red liquid onto the floor. Their slash had not just cut the swords in half but also their welders, the troops fell back in two pieces onto the ground; their blood spilt all over the floor. Sparker and Riowner then got a red cloth from their belts and wiped their swords clean.
“I hate having to do that, it just ruins them. No wonder our father the King told us to clean them if we get stains on them. It jams up all their power if we don’t.” Sparker explained finishing his cleaning and returned his red cloth into his belt. Riowner did the same; then they returned their swords to their sides. “Well we’re not far from where Ozaskger is been kept, obvious that the Thief of Fire is watching her and can strike without warning.”
“Then lets go, troops will be on their way right now.” They started to run down more corridors which were empty all the way.

Tantrum had entered a large and dusty room with barred cells surrounding it. The room was square shaped and had an empty centre where besides tiles on the floor, nothing was in the middle of the room. She entered the shadows and walked to her left around the sides of the prison ring. Tantrum then stopped and looked across the room, in the opposite cell was Ozaskger; she had curled herself into a ball with her back to the wall. She had been crying and praying someone will come to save her, Ozaskger must have been waiting so long, she thought no one will. Tantrum was happy that Ozaskger didn’t look up to see her standing across the room. She then looked up at the top of the cells on her left; there was a dark balcony which was hard to notice without any light. Tantrum looked closely at the balcony; a strange figure was watching Ozaskger, waiting patiently for her saviours to come for her. They never noticed Tantrum staring quietly; they wore gloves on their hands which were holding the rail of the balcony. On their head were three points and lines going round, it was an old kind of crown [This kind of crown was from a different time and very valuable]. Running steps were coming from the corridor; Tantrum saw the future meaning she was going to teleport off the floor and onto the hidden balcony. She stood in front of a dark wall, behind the dark figure.
Down below, Sparker and Riowner entered the ring of prisons and searching them all. They looked to the right from the door and saw Ozaskger curled up. She was safe. Both of them ran over to the cell, Sparker drew his sword and struck the lock. Ozaskger looked up as the cell door creaked open. She got up onto her feet and ran to Sparker and give him a hug, Riowner could understand why Sparker and not him. Sparker’s right, she does look up to him. He thought to himself and closed his eyes; suddenly they shot back open and turned to look up at the hidden balcony. Above was clapping slowly, it was low and quiet. Ozaskger and Sparker notice Riowner’s gaze and followed it, not hugging anymore. Now they could hear the clapping sound; Riowner drew his sword out and held it in front of him. Ozaskger moved away from Sparker so he could do the same. She pulled out a small dagger and put a side to her mouth. It was a disguised flute because there were holes in a straight line across the fake blade.
“How fortunate you made it this far, two guardians and one next in line to be one. A pity that one next in line can’t made them self the Water Guardian otherwise they would have put up a fight.” Torches from above lit up brightly; the one specking was a red coloured echidna on two legs. He wore two gloves that had two coned points on each one. [In another way of seeing what he looks like, just think of Knuckles from Sonic the hedgehog with extra powers] He was also wearing a pointed crown on his head. He jumped over the balcony rail and landed onto the floor smoothly.
“Thief of Fire...” Sparker whispered to himself, he was shocked he was looking at him for the first time. In this world, the Knuckles are fire types and very strong ones. The Thief of Fire is a fire type! He must like a lot of fire to do so, and all the torches here are brightly burning to prove it he likes his element. Sparker kept thinking until a shock came to him and looked at Riowner. Rio wouldn’t stand a chance to go against him, not with Earth energy. And Ozaskger’s not even a guardian unless she’s next in line for the Water Guardian. It would have been great if the others were here. “Alright Thief of Fire, your going down!” Both Sparker and Riowner got into their guardian positions like when they first met Tantrum. Sparker then threw his sword down to be line with the Knuckles fire type, electric sparks scattered in one direction towards the Thief of Fire. As they were about to hit him; a sudden fire wall sprung up right in front of the Thief of Fire. The sparks went through the fire but not through the other side.
“A simple defence trick, Sparker. That’s all it is!” Riowner shouted but then gave a gasp when the fire type had clasped his hands and punched the air. From his hands was a quick forming fire ball, heading straight for him. Three musical notes were played at even a greater speed; a bright blue sphere was formed in front of Riowner, in the way of the moving fire ball. As it made contact with the sphere; a puff of smoke was formed and both the blue sphere and the fire ball were gone. Riowner looked behind him to Ozaskger; she still had her flute to her mouth. “What was that?”
“A simple defence trick.” She replied; Ozaskger had looked at Riowner as to say, a simple defence trick can also be handy in a way. She then covered two holes in the flute and played a long note. Riowner turned back to the Thief of Fire, he found out why Ozaskger played; three flamethrowers were heading for all of them. A large wall of water had appeared and swallowed the flames and moved towards the fire type Knuckles.
Riowner then noticed Sparker has called forth a lightning stream while touching the wave with his sword. The water carried the electricity towards the Thief of Fire; he was surprised what was going on and what was going to happen. As the water made contact with him, the fire Knuckles started shaking while the electric shock flowed through him. Meanwhile above on the hidden balcony, Tantrum watched the light show where the Thief of Fire was being electrocuted. She turned and left the balcony to a corridor.
Back down below, the Thief of Fire had stopped shaking as the water and electricity disappeared from sight. He was so numb, he fell instantly forward towards the ground. Sparker, Riowner and Ozaskger walked slowly towards the fire type echidna with caution. Sparker finally reached the Knuckles and took out of his belt cuffs, opened them up and closed them on the Thief of Fire’s wrists. They clicked into place and started glowing; the fire type then started glowing and disappeared.
“Now that the Thief of Fire behind bars, we’ll return home now.” Sparker spoke and returned to Riowner and Ozaskger. “So, ready to head back. We’ll use that vortex portal to enter the outskirts of the city.” Sparker picked up Ozaskger and jumped high into the air towards the hidden balcony. He had noticed it when the light shined at the supports during the fight. Riowner followed him up towards the balcony; they landed quite hard onto their feet and looked around. The balcony was empty.
Inside a large room, many computers went around the walls; linking up to a centre machine, the machine looked like a huge ring of metal. Riowner ran into the room and headed for computer; he started typing on the keyboard and then looked confused sort of.

“This isn’t English; they know we are going to use this.” Riowner explained as Sparker came in with Ozaskger behind him. “It says ‘Alkara wahtan nera’, what does it mean Sparker?” He looked at Sparker; he shook his head in reply and then looked at Ozaskger. She was still upset from being captured; tiny drops of tears fell down her face. Ozaskger looked at the screen and gasped; the strange words were turning into liquids and formed themselves into English words. Now the sentence was ‘Activate Vortex Portal’, Ozaskger joined Riowner on his side and pressed on the key ‘enter’.
“Activating Vortex Portal, I don’t know how it looked English though. One minute its gibberish and then the next, I see it in English. It must be a language from different world or something.” Ozaskger explained her surprised state and turned to the metal ring in the centre of the room. Inside the ring was like a circular pond on its side and a stone had been thrown in. The ripples were endless. All three of them turned, walked over to stand in front of the ring. They looked at each other with confidence, they walked through the portal; the ripples and water disappeared.

It wasn’t all golden yellow in Tetris City anymore; now it was filled with red and orange, burning through the night. Flames had burned centre markets on one side of the city away from the palace. Citizens were screaming and finding shelter from the fire and crashing buildings. In a clearing; a tiny vortex grew to human size and spinning, exiting the vortex was Sparker, Riowner and Ozaskger. Sparker and Riowner drew their swords as soon as they saw the fires in the streets. Ozaskger stayed behind Sparker and stayed close to him as they carefully searched the city streets. Who could have done this, Thief of Fire is in jail. Riowner thought to himself but soon got his answer as he turned a corner. High in the air was a tall man in a blue top hat and blue cape. His back was turned when Riowner saw him; Sparker and Ozaskger joined him by his side to stare in wonder.
“So! Where’s your wardrobe then, burned to a crisp so you can’t change! Shameful!” Sparker called the man in the air; he turned and looked down to them in a row. A magician that can’t see with one eye so he has to have one lens. Sparker formed a sarcastic smile on his face for a while then seemed confused. The magician started grinning at them and floated down towards the ground. He stared at all three of them, not noticing swords ready for any attack.
“I know what you’re thinking; I am Magnent, the greatest magician of all time stands before you.” He began, Riowner was shocked of what he heard; More like worst, this guy thinks he’s the best but doesn’t realise no one is watching his acts. Riowner thought and looked at Sparker then to Ozaskger. He turned back to the magician and stared; all three of them started laughing hard like hearing a funny joke. “What’s so funny? I’m the world’s greatest enemy of all Virtual, no one can stop me!” Sparker, Riowner and Ozaskger stopped laughing but couldn’t lose their grinning smiles.
“What a spoon! Can you believe that Rio, how pathetic.” Sparker turned to Riowner and turned back to Magnent. His grin left in exchange for a confident smile. “If you think you’re so good, try to stop this blast...” Sparker was about to finish until someone behind finished his sentence for him.
“That will send you to the next planet!” A dark cylinder blast of electricity shot from behind the three right at Magnent, it pushed him high into the sky and he disappeared out of sight. Sparker, Riowner and Ozaskger turned around to find a boy in black as shadow clothing similar to Sparker’s, and a blonde haired girl in fire red clothing like Ozaskger’s water blue clothing style. As they walked closer to the three, they seem to have been picking up speed towards them. They started waving to them as they began running towards the three. They came to a sudden halt right in from of Sparker and Riowner, and Ozaskger, both of them were smiling at them as a greeting to the three. “Well, I wasn’t expecting you to be after Magnent as well or did you just get back into town to find him.” The boy spoke to Sparker and Riowner like he knew him, “Sparker, why are you and your brother still living here? You could at least try to go after one that is human than the Thief of Fire.”
“We were needed here David, Rio and I like having adventures and going against any enemy that stands in our way.” Sparker showed confidence and raised a fist in front of him like he was posing for a drawing. He lowered it back down to his side, “So, how is your work with Kayleigh then at Planet Talona.” David bowed his head in shame, and then looked back up to Sparker.
“It was a two months ago on Planet Talona, it was attacked by strange creatures from the sky. Many people were killed; their leader knew one of the victims of their wrath. Also, they kept seeing a small girl every time they went near each person. No one knows who it was but some believe she’s still alive. Researchers said the creatures were Demon Flyers and Demon Troops, that’s what they said. They left the next day, what they were looking for wasn’t there.” Sparker, Riowner and Ozaskger looked at each other and shared the same shock expression. All three of them remembered Ozaskger’s new guardian [Tantrum], all of them thought that she was that girl; but Riowner started thinking about other ideas that it might not be her. Riowner could be wrong or right.
Kayleigh had turned around and was in amazement; the others shared her gaze and stood in surprise. Sparkerita in her cream dress stood before them with a small smile and took out a scroll from her ribbon belt. It was old but was never opened so it wouldn’t be worn out. She walked over to the five in delight, when she came to a stop, she held it in front of her like she was wanted them to take it off her.
“This is the scroll of the ‘Main Five’; five warriors come together and reunite with each other. They must travel to the hidden temple to unlock their welder’s element powers. Unfortunately, you must travel far and must work together to reach the temple. Take this scroll, this scroll shows you way towards the temple and will help you work out the element carvings when you reach it.” All five looked at one and other thinking about the working together and their problems. Why do I have to work with him, he doesn’t like travelling far. Sparker and David thought about each other, while Riowner and Kayleigh agreed their partnership by shaking hands. One problem is; I don’t have an element sword of my own. Ozaskger thought feeling for sword at her side, she was feeling air. All five of then looked back to Sparkerita and nodded in agreement, Sparker reached for the scroll from Sparkerita, she then vanished once it was out of her hand.
“I’ll hold the scroll during our travel Sparker, having it your hands will only cause it to go missing.” David mentioned and snatched the scroll out Sparker’s hands. Kayleigh then snatched it off David and looked both of them. She and Riowner came to a conclusion during their squabble on who will take the scroll.
“I say Ozaskger should take it; I know she’s the only one without an element sword but if we come across danger, one of us needs to stay out of fights to read the scroll.” They all looked at Kayleigh and nodded as the final agreement.

* * *

Their travel took three solid days to reach the next town; all five were worn out when they got a small hotel. It was a wooden building and had some draughts; luckily their beds were all woolly duvet covers and were able to warm themselves. They stayed over during a night and had found a tiny wooden café; it wasn’t crowded much but was fine with Riowner and Kayleigh. Sparker and David kept staring into each other’s eyes and in a staring contest. Ozaskger felt uncomfortable while she was looking outside, a boy in a top with green horizontal lines and fine blue trousers. He was wearing small glasses and had black hair; he was with an older boy with blonde hair and in brown robes like a royal servant in a palace like hers. When Ozaskger was a girl, she had to stay inside the palace walls with no reason why from her parents. A sudden chill went down her spine and started hearing a strange, dark voice in her mind.
You can not escape me child, I know where you are and I am watching your every move.
Ozaskger gave a gasp; everyone in the café stared, except for Sparker and David still having their staring contest. Kayleigh looked around to everyone else, shaking her head like there’s nothing wrong. They all turned away except Riowner and Kayleigh turned back to her. Both of them looked extremely worried about her that something was wrong. Still Ozaskger could still hear the voice like it was specking through her ear.
You can not hide forever; don’t run from your destiny.
“How am I running from my destiny? Who is specking to me?” Ozaskger whispered to herself but Riowner heard her words clearly.

Mini Dev

“No one’s was specking to you Ozaskger.” Riowner finally spoke, this knocked Ozaskger from listening to the strange voice inside her head. She then remembered her vision when she was back at Tetris City, a double of her saving her and the spark of light...
“Ozaskger, will you stop messing around. What’s wrong?” Kayleigh asked and she looked up to Kayleigh and Riowner. She shakes her head and smiles at them like everything was fine, she didn’t want them thinking she was going mad by hearing voices. Kayleigh and Riowner looked at each other, both with suspicion on Ozaskger. Riowner set his attention on the staring boys of Sparker and David and shook them out of the contest, they were setting off again. This time; to a piece of a canyon what they call, Tempest Canyon. Not knowing someone is waiting, for revenge on a certain person.
It wasn’t a long walk but took them all morning to reach Tempest Canyon. As they looked onward, it felt they were standing inside the canyon with an open space, with the canyon walls surrounding them. In the centre of the wide space was an old building, five stair wells let to the raised circle. Two posts at each top of the stair wells; it was the hidden temple of Tempest Canyon. As the five drew closer to the temple, a ball of dark energy like David’s came raining from a side. They looked up to where it came from; above them was someone in an insect costume with two red eyes like a fly and two antae behind them. His arms crossed in front of them, they had been expecting the five to come. Their eyes went straight onto Ozaskger like they knew her since she was born.
“So this is the ‘Main Five’ then, five little kids out to kill themselves. Shame you won’t last long to see my reign.” They sounded like a man, but Sparker thought he was just like Magnent, completely pathetic. “Name’s Midnight, remember it well if you survive my wrath.” He slowly hovered down to the ground but then made a sudden strike towards them.

*

Galax Star in her marshy green clothing had slowly waked up in a misty world. She slowly got back onto her feet and looked around. Even mist on the ground was hard to see where she stepping into. Onward was more mist was on the horizon, as she ran forward for ten minutes, she found herself back where she had started. Suddenly she stopped; a single rock with a sword was stood before her, she slowly approach with caution. She then felt her arm rise up and reached out for the sword, she was confused on what was happening. Her hand gripped the handle of the stiff sword and pulled upwards. The sword became loose and slipped out easily and then disappeared. She quickly looked to her side; the sword had reappeared on the side of her belt. Galax then looked at her hands; both of them were fading away from sight. Her arms started fading, then her legs and her body vanished and she no longer saw the misty world. Galax found herself in the air looking down at a canyon; a fight was going on in a wide space.
Down below, Riowner called upon plant vines from the ground and headed for Midnight. Midnight held his palm up in front of the vines, the vines turned away and headed for Riowner.
“Your not the only one who uses earth powers you little brat.” Midnight laughed as the live vines forced Riowner off his feet. He turned to the side to see Kayleigh; he pushed his palm into air which created a seismic wave that knocked Kayleigh off balance. Midnight suddenly jumped backward to find Sparker strike air in front of him and used a powerful punch into his stomach. “Novice!” Midnight shouted and turned to his left to find David in front of Ozaskger. David’s sword held before him and with caution.
“Ozaskger run!” David shouted behind him to Ozaskger, she nodded and ran to the side near the canyon wall. Midnight again used a sudden strike towards him; David was prepared for that attack. Under Midnight’s helmet, an evil grin was formed when he noticed David stiffen his grip. Midnight suddenly stopped and pulled back his arm and threw it in front of him palm first. A blast of dark electricity can from his palm and headed for the surprised David. The dark electricity blasted him back and hit a pile rock on the ground, it made him a bit unconscious.
“Four down and one to go,” Midnight turned and looked at Ozaskger with her back against the wall. The terror on her face showed she believed it was the end for her. Midnight had walked closer towards her and stopped before her, only four metres away from her. “Seeing you reminded me of someone in particular, shame they can’t save you.” He gave a sign of shock and looked up, above a bright tiny spark fell from the sky and stopped in front of Ozaskger. He carefully scanned the spark and gained such horror. “No!” He shouted in disbelieve. The tiny spark moved towards Ozaskger’s point of where her heart was, as it touched her watery blue clothes; the spark grew around her until she was covered in light. The light grew an inch higher and started to fade. In Ozaskger’s place in marshy green clothing and still with brown long hair, was Galax Star. “It can’t be; you were destroyed in 'The Collide'!” He kept thinking it was a nightmare and he was still in a dream.
“I’m real; and here to finish you, once and for all.” Galax jumped high into the air above Midnight and placed her hand to her side, she then magically drew out a blue handled sword. The other four looked up in amazement, and scrambled to their feet in excitement. High above, Galax pointed the sword directly downwards with her arm positioned down across her body. Her other arm was upwards across her body which covered part of her white face, Sparker gasped in wonder when she stopped in mid air half way up the cliff with that pose.
“The Water Guardian, they’ve been revealed. It was Ozaskger all along, just needed some help.” Sparker whispered; Galax removed the pose as she came down for Midnight, he fired three blasts and Galax shifted side to side dodging them. As her feet hit the ground, her sword also struck the ground like rocks crashing. A straight crack from the sword headed for Midnight’s feet and the ground shook violently. Gushing through the crack was a mighty force of water pushing Midnight off his feet and into the air.
“It’s more like the rock sword, if there was one.” David spoke, joining Sparker at his side and sniggering to himself. As they watched Galax slowly stand properly, she turned to them both, their sniggering stopped.
“We need to work together if we want to defeat Midnight, that temple has a sealing spell. It’s the only way to gain new element powers; all it needs is for someone to be sealed inside!” Galax shouted but quickly turned to look in front of her to find Midnight doing an airborne charge. He was getting angrier.
“That will be you Galax Star! You’ve interfered with my plans for the last time!” He shouted; Galax just jumped into the crack with all the water remaining. Midnight quickly landed on his feet to where Galax had stood. Turning and looked around, Sparker and David have gone to retrieve Kayleigh and Riowner; then headed towards the temple. Midnight then looked down into the crack and the flowing water; suddenly the water started a whirlpool and cause water to rise up. Midnight gazed at the centre of the surfaced whirlpool but was caught off guard from watching the others. Two strings in white and black lightning spun around Midnight’s wrists and pulled him into the air. He watched the whirlpool break up and disappear, turning towards the temple down below, all five were helping pull him down.

Mini Dev

At the centre of the temple was a marked circle containing smaller ones and five medium sized which each of the warriors was standing in. Riowner stood on green coloured circle; on his left in a black circle was David with the string of black electricity. Kayleigh was next to him in the circle, standing in a red circle like she was standing on fire. Sparker with his sandy electric clothes; stood holding his sword with the white lightning string that held tight on Midnight’s wrist; inside a circle of yellow. Beside him and on Riowner’s right was Galax, she was quite the odd one out since her marshy green stood on watery blue. She looked to him and saw his puzzlement but then she realised, Galax closed her eyes and concentrated; her marshy green clothes glowed dimly and changed shape slightly. The glow left and instead of marsh colours, it had turned into Ozaskger’s watery blue clothes; Galax nodded to Riowner to agree that it was strange. Still that diversion she made, it fooled me as well as Midnight. After she dived in, she secretly exited the water to join us here. Riowner thought to himself and kept his attention back on Midnight. He has now been pulled into the centre of the circle; all five set themselves into guardian positions, David’s was a reflection to Sparker’s position; the same with Kayleigh’s to Galax’s position. The five swords crashed into the centre of each coloured circle by tip, each circle lit up and light covered the markings. Five streaks of light from each circle headed for the centre circle where Midnight stood, a beam surrounded him and becoming a bright white. It was impossible to even see Midnight or hear any cries from his mouth. The white beam narrowed ever so quickly and disappeared, Midnight was gone. All five released their grips on their swords and left them.
“As long as the main five swords are in place and we don’t remove them, Midnight is trapped inside the temple.” David explained to the others, all five turned to each staircase and climbed down them. “Now we just need something to store our new element power since it will be unstable without the element swords.” He continued and turned to gathered four with him. Galax stepped forward and nodded, she then turned back to the others.
“We need to rest back at the hotel that isn’t far from here.” She explained; Riowner had checked with her that because of the bonded powers now, using their fresh energy will help them return to the hotel without wearing themselves out. Galax turned and headed out of the canyon, David, Sparker, Riowner and Kayleigh followed. As they walked on; from the top of the canyon walls stood a girl in fire like clothes, a coiled whip was held on the side of her belt. She had very dark long hair that flew in the breeze of the wind. Quickly she turned and ran across the canyon tops.

* * *

Next day and the main five had a long sleep from the reserve energy they had for getting back to the hotel. Inside the café it wasn’t very crowded at all; only three customers were sat down. Sparker pushed the door to enter the café first, Riowner, David and Kayleigh followed him. Last inside was Galax, she was thinking about what happened on Cube she had left behind somehow. In the corner of her eye were two customers sat opposite each other, both had old clothing like scavengers. She walked on past an empty table but suddenly stopped frozen by the next table. In front of her Kayleigh and David had already sat themselves down while Sparker and Riowner were stood looking at her. They had also seen the third customer that was sat down, Galax was standing right by them. Galax turned to look at them and stared in shock.
“Don’t be surprised, these things can happen you know Galax.” It was Tantrum, she was sat there drinking a cup of tea and never turned to look at Galax. “Did you expect that you wouldn’t see me again?” She placed her cup back onto the small plate and finally looked at her. Sparker and Riowner rushed towards Galax and Tantrum and came to a halt by the table behind Tantrum. She stood up and left the table and the café, leaving a hidden note under the small plate. Galax turned and watched her leave and then turned back to Sparker and Riowner.
“We’ve met her at our homeland of Tetris City; she was summoned to be princess Ozaskger’s bodyguard. She comes from planet Sarin, a far planet from here; she’s quite weird. I think she has mind reading powers or power of future sight, or both.” Sparker explained and Riowner nodded in agreement. Mind reading, future sight, she might have past sight as well. Galax thought but suddenly sensed something was wrong outside. She turned to nearest window, rushing through her mind was Ozaskger’s memory of seeing a boy with glasses on. Outside was the same boy with his protecting servant, a misty spirit of a dragon roared before them. That’s Midnight’s youngest son Lewis! Galax thought and rushed out of the café towards the evil spirit. Young Lewis looked up from behind his protector to see Galax heading for the spirit. It turned around to see her, quickly it took off into the air and disappeared. The others of the main five rushed out to join her, Lewis and his servant. Galax’s memory flashed inside her head of a newspaper her friend Rosie told her about. Joey, Lewis’ servant and friend; But what was that thing that was after Lewis. Galax thought but Joey introduced them selves.
“I am Joseph, and this Lewis Starfoot. Thank you for scaring that spirit away from Lewis.” All except Galax were shocked and thought they heard wrong. Joseph continued. “That spirit used to be our pet guardian, to scare any evil spirits but after an accident Lewis’ father had. That spirit now works to find Lewis and return him back to him.” Joseph bowed his head in shame, “We’ve heard you’ve sealed Midnight away but now we don’t know who that spirit is working for now. It would really only listen to anyone in Lewis’ family but some believe that he’s the only Starfoot remaining now.” Galax was thinking about what he said, [Tantrum] and Crimson don’t look alike so what Joseph would be true. What about Navy? What if he’s alive somewhere with Crimson? She didn’t know what to think, but then she looked at Sparker. He could sense Galax’s confusion easily; he just shrugged his shoulders as he didn’t know the answer to her confusion.
“We need to move on to the next town, we got a letter from Pinpin that she, Pinpon and Pequra will meet us Taran City. They want to show us something there.” Riowner mentioned to Sparker, he looked at him realising that they didn’t have much time to waste. “We need to get there fast before something terrible might happen.” Galax turned slightly to them, she remembered a twister that lives in space; Tornado Spacer could land anytime.

Two days after equipping themselves with food supplies and with spheres of colours which were known energy spheres. Rope just in case of anything they needed to get out of like fissures or crossing wide canyons with difficulty. Sparker and Riowner argued of what was the point bringing Lewis and Joseph with them, because of a lose spirit they wouldn’t be safe. Galax told them they could come but stay at the next town. Kayleigh thought of bringing a first aid kit for any injuries since deadly creatures roamed further onward. Now they had camped out for the night because of Lewis’ tiredness and twigs around an old forest were fine for a fire.
It turned dark, Kayleigh’s fire magic was just enough to light the small branches for warmth. David had brought blankets for each of them to use, but Galax let Lewis use hers as a comfortable mattress. Joseph slept by Lewis to company him in his dreams, Kayleigh was exhausted and set up her covers by a single palm tree beside David. Riowner was only resting his eyes on his covers; Sparker was kneeing beside fire and keeping it from going out. He looked up in front of him to see Galax sitting on a nearby rock in the ground. Galax was looking at small stones in the ground; they were arranged into an arrow pointing towards her left. It was a reminder on which way they going. Sparker turned to his brother, Riowner had just sat up to replace Sparker’s position with his. Both of them switched places and Sparker fell asleep. Riowner watched him dream, and then turned to join Galax watching the night.
“So, it’s quiet... it feels boring.” Riowner mentioned to her, he felt a fuzzy feeling inside for Galax. Riowner then noticed she was in watery blue and slightly smaller, Galax was now looking like Ozaskger. She was quite shocked about what happened to her. She remembered the glowing spark enter her body and flowing through her. A dim glow surrounded her and now back in marshy green, she suddenly looked up to the plains. Through her head was a sense of warning spinning around.
“Too quiet... something’s watching us.” Galax spoke quietly and looked at Riowner. He was surprised and he looked carefully toward the plains. Riowner looked back at Galax standing up, still staring at him. In the far distance from them, a stealth mode creature had realised it just kicked a tiny stone a small distance. Back at the fire Galax listened to the far plains without taking her eyes off Riowner. The tiny stone hit the ground; her eyes looked at the corner of her eye. Riowner noticed this and shared her stare towards the wasteland. “It’s there all right... it’s spying on us.” She spoke again.
“I’ll see to it. You keep watch for anything else.” Riowner replied and ran off into the darkness. Galax reached out to him to stop but he had gone. She dropped her arm down and suddenly had a reminder of her terrible past.
Return to me, you can’t run forever, Galax Night Star.
A sudden chill trickled down her spine, the creeping voice inside her was now gloating. It was someone she knew but it wasn’t Midnight [or Tantrum], the voice’s energy was far worse than both put together.

*

Riowner stopped running and looked around; darkness was everywhere he looked except a small light from far away fire. He reached to his side and felt for his sword, he forgot it was back at the temple that sealed Midnight. A crackle sound was produced in the night; something is around where he stood. He stood cautiously as the crackles grew louder. It was moments until Riowner saw the shadow of the creature [think about what Sonic looks like but brown]; it suddenly jumped away from his sight and bashed Riowner’s back by feet. Riowner was about to fall face first onto the ground until his fall turned into a somersault. He scrambled back to his feet and searched for his attacker. It was all dark to see, Riowner took surprise attacks from all around him. It was an ambush!

* * *

Galax had changed to Ozaskger; she was with David watching the sun rise from the horizon. She remembered Riowner hadn’t returned until they looked across the golden wasteland, Riowner was limping back to the camping site they set up. Ozaskger and David looked at each other in shock and ran towards Riowner. Sparker began moaning because of two voices he could hear from Ozaskger and David.
“Rio what happened?” Ozaskger asked.
“Who did this?” David also asked. But the only reply was Riowner’s moan of pain; he could barely stand up because of being all night fighting mysterious creatures, or was it just one. Sparker opened his eyes to see Ozaskger and David dragging Riowner on each other’s shoulder towards his covers. Sparker got to his feet only to hear Ozaskger speak to him.
“She tried to stop him from going; it was just a wild Tonic.” Strange how Ozaskger told him, he looked at Kayleigh but she was still asleep. “I mean Galax, she is troubled. Ever since we started our quest toward the temple I’ve been hearing an unusual voice; even Galax has been hearing it. It has been telling her that she’s running from her destiny and they want her to go back to them. I’ve also had a... vision. She was in it; I understood that I needed to bond with her. But during the night, I had one similar but a third girl that looked just like Galax and I was involved in the bond. I don’t get it.”
Sparker thought for a while, he knew a person had a double on the other side [Reality], but none of them knew how to reach them. Now all of a sudden, Ozaskger’s double finds her instead. We find our doubles on the other side not the other way around, what gives? It makes no sense. He shook his head and turned Riowner, Joseph was wake attending to his wounds. Kayleigh was now rolling up the covers; Lewis was kneeing beside Joseph and watched him work. David kept watch while they were off guard; Kayleigh rolled up the last cover and pressed a small button in a corner. The cover shrunk to a size of the half of the first aid box. She dropped it into her fire red backpack and stood up with her bag over her shoulder. Riowner was also ready to move on and he looked at the small stones on the ground. The arrow was pointing beyond the palm tree to a far distant tower. Taran City was in sight.

*

Three hours past for the teens, because of it being the morning they weren’t attacked during their long walk. Taran was like the small village they were last at but similar. Two lines of market stalls lined themselves on each side; they were made of stone blocks and wooden shutters on the windows. Oak doors were the only things with fine craftsmanship, each store they passed all the shutters were locked so sudden. In front, was a wide path leading to a strange tower. The walls were smooth and curved round. Lewis soon noticed the oak doors banged shut and locked, all except one headed. To him, a girl at Riowner’s size with ginger brown hair; she wore sandy yellow jumper and trousers, she was smiling towards them but the mood shifted. Her happiness transformed into a shocked expression and looked away from them, looking beyond the strange tower. Clouds above were growing darker than usual and it was starting howl. Wind started picking up speed rapidly, the teens needed shelter.
“Riowner! Sparker! Over here quickly.” She cried towards them, her call attracted their attention to her. “Kayleigh! David! Ozaskger! Come on!” The Main five warriors knew who the girl was definitely now.

Mini Dev

Pinpin. All seven of them including Lewis and Joseph rushed towards the open door. One by one each one entered the shop; inside were long wide, oak shelves of artefacts and an oak wood counter. As Joseph entered last, she pulled the door closed and locked it. An opening with strips of beads running down it were moved aside, another girl in fiery red and ginger brown hair but with freckles this time. A younger boy than Lewis dressed in sandstone colours and dark hair like Riowner, almost looking like a younger version of him.
“Pinpon, Pequra. What’s going on?” Kayleigh asked but answer was a hard earthquake, it caused the shelves to chatter with the artefacts jumping around, some fell onto the floor. Everyone tried to keep their balance; then a rumble stampeded past the shop outside. “Is there a keep near here or was that something big?” Kayleigh asked again but Ozaskger had switched to Galax to give a reply.
“By the sound of that, don’t use ‘big’ to describe that.” Everyone looked at her, the rumbles and the earthquake had stopped. All of them were confused except Pinpin and the other younger kids with her. “Use massive to describe what just hit. Reason because of things outside is over the place.” She unlocked the shutters and pushed them out of the shop. Outside, fragments of wood were scattered all over the path. Sparker and David joined her and looked in shock for such damage on the oak doors and wooden shutters on the other side. David looked back at Pinpin for an answer.
“Do you know if this has happened before? Like some days ago?” He asked but someone else enters through the bead curtain; an old woman in a grey hood and darker gowns slowly walked towards them. Her wrinkled face showed a face of a grim look on her face. She saw Galax turn to her and was quite in a shock to see Galax in her marshy green. Ignoring her barely, she turned to David with her grim look again.
“That was Tornado Spacer, a long living twister that can survive in space. That’s how it got its name, but your friend looks familiar from my past and one like her inside the museum.” She spoke, walking past the others to unlock the door by Pinpin. The old woman opened the door wide, walked out and pointed to the smooth high tower at the end of the path. Joseph stepped outside to join her, while back inside Pinpon picked a thin wide box on the counter side. She pulled off the tiny lock and opened the lid to eight odd looking artefacts. At one end; a black pair of gloves lay on each other; the second was an orange-red watch and a hexagon disc. Third along was a small brown box which only Pequra’s hand could fit in; fourth and in the middle was heart shaped silver on a ring, in the centre was a blue crystal. Fifth was glow in dark shackles but was made of rubber; sixth was another hexagon disc but was red and crimson. Seventh along was a plastic case containing an Egyptian watch in sand colours and finally eighth was just a green marble. They all gazed in wonder at each one but by the colours they had, they kept their eye on a matching colour to their clothes. “Ah, so you are interested in what your friends have bought from me. They had been told to get them for you, by Queen Sparkerita from Tetris.” Each of them looked behind them to see the old lady smiling towards them. Galax was the only one that smiled back, the others weren’t told to trust people that want to give them something. What Pinpin might have been told on the letter might have been false, Pinpin and this old woman may be shape sifters and we’ve fallen into a trap. Sparker and David thought and acted cautiously about Pinpon and younger Pequra. Lewis held onto Kayleigh’s hand for comfort and then looked at Galax. He didn’t know about her sense of warning, to Galax her mind was clear that this old lady was friend and not foe.
“That’s great. Are the artefacts colour coded to tell who it belongs to?” Galax asked but Sparker and David looked at her in shock. She hasn’t noticed any suspicion, this woman can be a danger. Sparker thought but Galax turned to him with a suspicion that Sparker can’t trust her. “It’s alright, Sparker. There isn’t any evil around here in Taran anyway.” She turned back to the old wrinkled woman, she was quite devastated. She hasn’t lost her touch, but he might confuse her with his voice of a spectre. The old lady thought and smiled.
Outside Joseph was waiting for them, Lewis ran out to hug his teenager servant. Pinpin, Pinpon and Pequra stepped out first into the street. Shutters and doors were now opening, shops were reopening. David, Riowner and Kayleigh were next out of the shop. They watched villagers pick up the scattered fragments of wood off the ground for firewood. Sparker exited out alone, Galax was last one inside.
“She won’t be long, we’ll head for the museum and see why this village has it.” Sparker’s words showed he wasn’t certain in Taran for long. Galax finally reached the door until she froze stiff.
Finding out the past is useless, just return to the portal.
“He won’t stop leaving you unless you listen and do it, don’t led his voice confuse you. You need to find answers, not on a search for your home until you know exactly what your purpose is in this world. He wants you to come to him, not him coming for you. Fight on the side you are on now only, look in your heart when you are confused.” The lady behind her spoke, she knew Galax’s trouble. How does she know? Pinpin and the other two haven’t mentioned anything or the others. Who is she? Galax dimly glowed and switched to Ozaskger in her watery blue clothing. She joined Sparker’s side and all of them set off again towards the museum. The old woman stood at the door as they walked on, she smiled little and thought about something in her past[It was a connection with Galax’s past]. Good luck, Yasae. Stay away from the darkest worlds in your quest. She then entered her shop of artefacts and closed the door.
