Area 4, Earth

Virtual and Reality are bonded completely; with strange things are about change everyone’s lives. At the Royal Observatory in London during an unexpected thunderstorm and starting to head north of England. The night sky covered London; through the huge telescope were eight arranged sparks of light. Top line of two next of three, another line of two and just one below them all. They stood out from all the other stars and made the astronomers wonder.

In central England in Huddersfield; thunderstorms went on through the morning causing all power to be lost as it past. News before it reached the town said all places would be closed in case of serious casualties. Lightning struck in many places forcing everyone in central England to stay inside.
On Wakefield Road heading out of Huddersfield next to Greenside Laundrette, the garden was filled with little amount of rubbish by others. The living room had two arm chairs and a sofa in crimson and designs of plants. The television was blank and the lights were out, only candles lit room. The curtains were open viewing the storms outside. A woman with short light brown hair and in a cream top and blue jeans was staring out the window in one of the arm chairs that was opposite the television. Another girl was sat in the end of the sofa in a purple shirt and blue trousers. A young fit girl in the other arm chair in marshy a green top and grey trousers also staring out the window, although kept looking down at her feet. She had long dark brown hair and she had a strange feeling of something was missing in her life. On the floor was a small dog with a brown face looking at her while it was sat down, and then it started looking around to the other women. The girl looked at the girl opposite her that was upset and stared at the little dog beside her feet.
“You should take him out Victoria,” She said but then the woman in the other arm chair glared at her in disgust.
“Gillian!” She shouted but the girl in the arm chair by the television giggled and looked at her.
“I was joking mother; I don’t to lose Lucky out there anyway.” Gillian smiled and looked at the dog at her feet wondering what’s going on. “It is a shame I can’t go to school and I’m sad about it.”
“Why?” Victoria with concern but Gillian began to do moan of a cry.
“I have double art today.” All three of them looked outside and watched the storm go by through out the day.

*

During the afternoon after the storm started heading for Scotland in the north and after school times, still traffic couldn’t go anywhere until damage was taken care of. Gillian sat upstairs in her attic bed above toys that could belong to a young boy with such imagination. On Gillian’s mind was the storms coming all at once and heading north. Her room was a bit of a tip with lying around pieces of paper, some hid game boxes for a Dreamcast console. Many toys of Bionicle Lego lay around in one corner and boxes set as a little village. All the power was back on and she could hear the television speaking about the storm and a great discovery after it left. The door opened and closed; to Gillian she knew it was Victoria taking Lucky for his walk.
Looking at her alarm clock showed it was 9:02pm and was past her bed time. Gillian looked towards her door to see her mother stood there. As she walked in, she carefully stepped over scattered pieces of paper while Gillian looked over the end of her bed to see her.
“Can’t you get your papers sorted out someday,” She said looking up at her in surprise and noticing Gillian’s expression of her sadness. “What’s the matter, feel lonely again.” Gillian nodded slightly and looked behind her. Posters from comics including Sonic were stuck up on three walls around her bed top and underneath. Looking back to her mother, she nodded again with depression.
“I like to have an adventure, like in the comics with Sonic. Adventures in Evolution; The Sacred Device on the Dreamcast, I want to have a more exciting life than normal everyday. Wake up, school, come home and play with my friend.” Gillian felt even more upset as her mother reached up to Gillian and touched her cheek with her warm hand.
“That’s how life is I’m afraid, sorry darling,” She replied and left the room. Gillian looked at own herself finding out she still had her clothes on and started to get changed for bed.

*

Outside on a roof, in marshy top and trousers. Blue damaged trainers and had dark brown hair was Galax Star from Virtual. She woke up slowly and sat up; looking at herself, her hands and body was ghostly like all over. Its Orarton [Already happened] again. She noticed moving vehicles down below, different colours past every two seconds after another.
“Strange creatures, all almost alike; large creatures as well, even one that swallowed so many people in; you can see who it has eaten.” Galax told herself as a bus past the building she was sat on. “This world is completely different to mine and new tamed creatures are here. Although this place, it isn’t on low tech like Cube and Tetris or more high tech like the Shadow World.” Galax got onto her feet and jumped down off the roof, she suddenly noticed a window behind her. Inside was a television lit up; on the screen, a discovery of new planets was shown. “Could...could this be the other side Sparker mentioned to me. If so...Sparker and the others are...gone. Am I the only one here because of what happened?” Galax left the window and ran along a nearby path towards a sign saying: Barrow 2 miles and Dalton 1 mile.

Next day and Gillian in navy blue uniform for a school called Almondbury High School. It was Thursday morning at her tutor room for registration; she sat near friends close to the tutor’s desk. As the register was read out, Gillian kept thinking about the storm yesterday.
Acrushan natala frendan ecan.
“Huh...what was that?” Gillian whispered to herself, wondering what she just heard. It sounded like a girl calling to me from somewhere but something now doesn’t feel right. Gillian looked around to the other pupils in the room talking to each other in groups.
“Gillian...” Her tutor called.
“Yes miss,” Gillian replied and looked out of the window behind a girl with long blonde hair. She then went back to what was going on inside her head, not noticing another teacher entered the room with a new boy with dark hair and a white face. He looked around excitedly and stopped, noticing Gillian turned to see what the commotion was about.
“Boys and girls, this is Jake Dyetan a temporary student in your form.” The teacher said and left the room. Jake made his way to an empty space that was in front of the windows. He was right next to Gillian which made her curious. Boys on the back table closest to them introduced themselves to him. Some of them introduced other sat down students behind him; he was amazed as a boy with ginger short hair at the every front stood up and started little chants. He looked at a boy beside him in short black hair and looked at Gillian and her nearby friends.
“Oliver, who are they then?” He asked while the boy pointed to a girl with short black hair then to a girl with long blonde hair and then to the one opposite to Gillian, then to her.
“That’s Jodie, Natalie, Nicole and Gillian.” Oliver replied and lowered his arm, pulling up a chair beside him and sat down. Jake had his full attention towards Gillian like he knew her from somewhere. Jodie on her right leaned across to Gillian to her ear.
“I think Jake likes you,” She whispered and looked at Jake then started to raise her voice to normal. “She’s good at art if you want to know.” Jake looked impressed and smiled.
“I can draw ok, I’ve taken art as an option.” Jake replied, Gillian looked him in surprise but smiled back. Looking towards Jodie, she grinned and gave a slight giggle.
“I think I’ve got another challenger,” Gillian mentioned, she looked over to a table where a tall girl with her dark hair tied back speaking to other girls and boys on that table. “Amanda is one of them,” Gillian looked towards the back table where a girl with tied back blonde hair also talking. “I think I’m challenging Beckie over there, she’s good at art as well.” Suddenly the bell rang; everyone picked up their bags and stood up, leaving the room for first lesson.

*

During lunchtime up on the second floor in a room 205; Gillian was working on her maths homework she had forgotten about. A teacher beside her with dark short hair sat watching her, Gillian then looked up. “I’ve got a new boy in my form, called Jake Dyetan.” Gillian looked back to her maths book gazing at a question about transformation. “So far he’s in my: Technology, English and I.C.T. lessons. I get the feeling he will be in my Spanish and Science lessons.”
“Really now,” She replied and noticed Jake enter the room and looking around. “Is this him now?” As Gillian looked up, Jake caught sight of her and walked over to join her.
“Yes,” Gillian watched him sit down and panting. “Hard trying to get used to remembering where places are?” Jake just shook his head and smiled.
“I’ve already walked around the school and can remember where the rooms are.” He replied, looking up behind Gillian to a clock. “Almost time to get back to form.” Gillian looked at the clock above a white board; turning back to her stuff, Jake was busy placing her into her bag. “It’s ok, I’ve got it.”
“Right...” Gillian replied, not very keen on him helping her with her stuff but smiled back to him.
*

At end of school, Gillian started walking down the field past a car park opposite a road from the school. Behind on the hill to the school was Jake speaking to other boys he met in classes, the boys left as Jake headed down the hill after Gillian’s fast pace. “That Jake is in every single lesson on Thursdays,” Gillian heard someone walking towards her with a fast pace like hers. “If that’s him now I bet he’s going tell me...” Gillian stopped to turn around to see Jake suddenly come to a halt. “...you walk my then? Down the hill and past the laundrette, is that why you were catching up with me.”
“Yeah...strange how our time at school brings us together in each lesson.” Jake sighed; Jake stepped forward and started walk with Gillian out of the school grounds. “Did you know I would pass the laundrette or something?” He asked as they crossed a road in front of them, Gillian nodded in reply and they went on. When no one was round on the curved pavement, behind a house they walked past someone turned towards their direction. It was a girl in dark clothing and cape as black as night, she was no student at Almondbury High.
“Jake eh... even the mortal version doesn’t realise who you are. Still, Galax Star is somewhere in this world and we to need to find her. I know they will meet each other soon.” She closed her eyes and thought about where Galax may be; reopening them she noticed Jake look behind him seeing her. Gillian also noticed Jake turn to look behind him, he look on while she looked behind this time; no one was there. Turning back to her she was going, they had crossed a parking area and started walking onto a path between two semidetached houses. Jake felt curious on where she was going; behind the houses was a slope of dry soil heading to another road below.
“Is this a quicker path to school then, interesting,” Jake noted as they climbed down the path of dry soil, he felt that Gillian may be able to balance easy. Just in case, he kept close to Gillian’s arm if she was going fall onto the grass on their right.
As they got off the dry path, both laughed with excitement of it being Jake’s first time going down the path. “It must be complicating go up and down it if it was raining. We would probably slip if we didn’t have good balance.” Their laughter ended and they started walking on towards a down hill road to another road below. They just walked carefully down; Gillian looked at him with wonder.
“Do you like me?” Jake looked at her with concern, he felt speechless because of a reason flowing through his head. “Well as a friend or even higher?"

!Mini Dev

“I...” Looking behind him gain he noticed the dark girl nodding to him, looking back at Gillian to make a reply. “I like you as a friend, other boys say I fancy you. They say you don’t speak much of time, even now you aren’t saying much.” Gillian smiled showing an agreeing expression.
“They also say I am ‘The Ring’ from a film they’ve seen, they are right about me not speaking much. I don’t quite like speaking much anyway, nothing to say really.” Gillian’s smile faded as they turned to a gentle slope down. Jake looked to his feet, hiding a frown.
“That’s sounds like someone I knew before coming here,” He muttered looking up back to Gillian. “You probably guess that they mentioned that you don’t smile very much and mentioned you’re good at art.” He smiled again towards Gillian as she nodded in reply. Bowing his head again he removed his smile and began to mutter again. “Exactly how the one I’ve met acts, she was right that Gillian would be Easay’s double.” Both of them walked on, not knowing the girl in black was watching them go further on.

*

Jake walked out onto the main road, turning around to see Gillian waved one to him as a ‘see you tomorrow’. Gillian walked behind the laundrette round to a pair of steel gates with a small car park and two white doors. She took off her blue bag on her back and opened the front of it and took out a key with a compass on. Stepping towards the first door, she put the key into the lock and twisted it. Gillian pushed down the handle and stepped inside as she opened the door. As she locked it, she heard little whimpers behind her in the kitchen on the left as turned around. In his cage, Lucky stared at her and whimpering to come out; on the other side of the corridor, the front door unlock with someone at the door. As the door opened towards her, outside was someone a grey fleece jacket with blue trousers. Behind them was a boy in school uniform from a different school.
“Hi Nicky, hello Victoria,” Gillian called as the two walked in and shutting the door behind them. Victoria took off a black bag off her back and dropped it by a side chair by the door. Gillian walked over to join Nicky while Victoria headed towards the kitchen to let Lucky out. Gillian and Nicky headed upstairs to her room, as they closed the door. They both sat on the floor, Nicky picked a Bionicle character he came up with; it had a long horn on its head, two pieces that made the sides of its jaws, a long neck and a small tail. It was their game where the lego technic creatures had minds of their own depending which out Gillian and Nicky use them.
“Kain, did you hear about the storm on Wednesday yesterday?” Nicky asked, Gillian using the character’s voice to make a reply.
“No but I’ve heard strange things outside.” Gillian spoke as she was a boy, Nicky made the character look around as it was dark and hard to see. Gillian looked at Nicky as he stood and headed under Gillian’s bed for others. “I’ll take over as Kain then.” The Bionicle Kain looked around in confusion by Gillian while Nicky came out from underneath the attic bed with a weird Bionicle and one like a normal shape of a character. Kain jumped little spaces backwards like he would take steps back and bumps into the normal character; it was made with a brown body and mask, light blue arms and legs stood behind him. Kain jumped as he turned and Gillian causing him to be frightened and shocked. “Why do you have to show up?” The little creature looked around again and saw a figure behind him. A longer tail than Kain's and two pieces that were both claw weapons closed up together, the size of the body was short though. Both claws were opened up by Nicky making Gillian leave Kain stood still for Nicky to pick him up and throw him to the corner behind the door as he was actually blasted away.
Nicky laughed without moving his lips for the two he was controlling laughing themselves. Gillian smiled and watched Nicky put them back underneath the bed. As he came out, he wondered where a certain character was. At the side, a curled up tail to an even smaller body than the one he brought out. He uncoiled the tail, showing it was even longer and looked in the direction Kain was thrown in and also laughed quietly.

*

Later after Nicky left and Gillian downstairs watching latest news with her mother and sister about the new set of stars or planets, it was still unknown. Gillian couldn’t stop thinking about the new stars or planets have been seen, the timing she thought about though was too perfect to be coincidence of something to happen.
“Inset day tomorrow mother, then its half term.” Gillian mentioned while her mother nodded in reply. “That’s three things that has happened now; first the storms, these sorted stars or planets and also a new boy at school. They happened last night and today.” She looked at her mother with wonder, the new boy’s name rushed through her head like an unending thread.
“Oh, what’s his name? Is he nice?” She asked with excitement; Gillian took her time, her spine chilled with fear all of a sudden without a reason. Taking her time from turning to the television and back to her mother, she finally came up with her answer.
“Jake Dyetan, and I think he’s in to me in a way somehow,” Gillian replied but then got up out of the arm chair and left the room. As Gillian climbed the stairs and entered her mother’s room by the top of the stairs. Falling onto the king size bed staring towards the ceiling above, Gillian kept asking herself in her head where the shiver came from. A tiny cry inside the back of her mind made her think that it was close to her inside the room. She sat up and looked around, nothing around stirred; the cry came from outside. Getting off the bed and looking out of the window, only cars past in the dark with street lights shining onto the road; the cry sounded far above her but nothing was seen because of clouds covering the sky.
Rasacrow tanasheta krike.
“That...sounded different to the one at school, it’s creepier than before.” Gillian held her arms around her and chills ran through as it spoke again.
Rasacrow tanasheta Easay [Backwards for Yasae], krike.
“What does it mean, I can’t understand it. It isn’t Spanish at all, but what is it then?” Gillian whispered to her self as the shivering breeze faded. She headed back to the bed and lay down staring at the ceiling again. What did they mean... what were they saying to me? Rolling left, she saw a flat digital alarm clock; it was 7:37pm and she wondered that she felt lonely inside.

Friday morning, Gillian’s mother and sister were packing clothes into a suitcase. Gillian in her room was packing her things into her rucksack; her personal C.d. player, a book made in Japan but in English, a brown sketch book and a green bag containing games. She seemed to have forgotten about the strange voice speaking to her, but she couldn’t stop thinking about going to her home town in the North West. Looking through the doorway was her mother, she watched Gillian finish packing up her stuff.
“Come on Gillian, we’re ready to set off to Barrow.” She spoke as Gillian got off the floor and picking up her bag. Gillian and her mother climbed down the stairs to find Victoria coming through the front door with Lucky.
“He’s done his business and we’re ready to move out to Barrow.” Victoria mentioned and walked down the corridor to the kitchen and out the back door.
“Are we staying at dad’s house when we get there?” Gillian asked looking towards her mother; she nodded her with despair causing Gillian to moan. Both headed towards the back door, outside Victoria and Lucky were sat in the back of a red car and staring. Lucky stared at Gillian’s mother as she entered the front seat of the car. Gillian opened the passenger door in the front and climbed in, opening the compartment in front of her, she took out a grey music player for the car. Placing it into position and pressing a round button on the volume dial, on the digital screen it read: C.D. and numbers showing the disc number and track number. “I hate staying at Dad’s; he always gets my temper on level three.” Gillian complained as the music started, it was fast music of Gillian’s causing her to run free on imagination.

*

On the M6 motorway, the music had become music of her mother’s choice. Gillian looked out the window to the countryside and bored, watching other cars fall back as they past them. When Gillian thought about her loneliness in her mind, suddenly she had a glimpse of two scalene yellow triangles piercing into her mind. Gillian closed her eyes and shook her head to remove the sight; she watched in the front of her outside that they were leaving the motorway. The sky above was glowing a very slight red, cause of the sun setting on the horizon but no one noticed a blue light following Gillian’s car to Barrow.
Later and finally in Barrow, it was dark when they got out of the car unloading the car and entering a small house. Both Gillian and Victoria were still groaning about staying with their dad. This sickens me, staying with dad is not my idea of fun. Gillian thought still groaning. This is going to be a boring visit, although there’s a party in Dalton that we always go to. Gillian stepped through a white door and into the living room. The sofa and arm chairs inside were light green, a television was placed in front of a window viewing the front but was covered by light green curtains. In an arm chair opposite the switched on telly was a man in a light blue shirt and dark blue jeans. He was in his fifties and had a short beard; he looked up and smiled at Gillian and Victoria as they walked in.
“Hello girls, how are you?” He asked but they moaned in reply a ‘hi’. Lucky and their mother entered as the girls sat onto the sofa. Gillian noticed her mother wasn’t impressed either.
“Ellen, Sarah and David would be staying grandma’s house then.” Gillian mentioned and watched Victoria get up and set up Lucky’s cage they brought. “Chris and Hal are going to be at the party, it’s been a while since we saw each other. It’s like it has been years since we last visited.” She quietly spoke and headed upstairs.

*

“What...where am I?” A ghostly boy in green clothing was lying on his back with droopy eyes looking up at rustling leaves fall from trees above. “Are these dying, no...It’s their nature here. These aren’t like the ones on Tetris; I remember what happen now but where are...” He sat up and looked around with concern and wonder from his surroundings. “...Sparker, David, Kayleigh, Galax. Where are Pinpin, Pinpon and Pequra?” He scrambled to his feet and touched a nearby tree and closed his eyes for concentration. A storm came...I appeared out of nowhere! He opened his eyes and removed his hand away from the tree. “What has happened then is the question?” A light breeze blew past him with a warning. He turned and looked up to see a shining glass cylinder fall towards him, he quickly snapped his fingers but nothing happened. What, my element isn’t responding to me! I need to be out of this state I’m in now in order to use it; a bad timing as well. He quickly moved aside just in time but another glass cylinder fell and trapped him. He thought on trying to go through the glass, but he couldn’t. I thought ghosts can go through things, this must be specialised into capturing them. Above came a haunting laughter; the breeze was getting stronger as the glass cylinder closed under his feet, and pulled him off the ground.
“Well Riowner, first time I’ve you; don’t now you’ll be seeing your friends soon.” They started their haunting laughter as Riowner hit his head on the shaking cylinder.

* * *

“Come on girls; get ready to go to grandma’s house!” Their mother shouted; Gillian and Victoria headed downstairs and out the front door. Gillian watched Victoria take Lucky’s folded up cage while she took Lucky out to the car. She entered the passenger door while Lucky entered the back. Behind her mother and sister finally shut the boot and entered the car.

!Mini Dev

Looking out the window, she watched the houses pass as they drove past them.
Among little houses were trees running down both sides of the road, leading them towards two attached houses of a road called Clevelands Ave. Number 36 awaited for them on the left ahead, two boys one older than the other ran towards their destination realising their approach. As the car parked down the drive to the house, the boys were knocking onto the window and pulling faces for fun.
One had ginger brown hair and was the older of the two; he wore a light blue shirt with a Chinese dragon in white lines. His grey trousers sprang as he headed towards the white door of the house. The other boy had dark coloured hair, he wore a grey t-shirt and dark trousers and greeted Gillian with a smile. Hal reminds me of Jake at school. She smiled back with joy as she opened the passenger door noticing Lucky’s pulling of excitement towards him and the door. Victoria and Lucky entered the house with the boy behind her; Gillian’s mother opened the boot knowing Victoria will come back out to unpack the car.
As Gillian stepped inside, another greeting was waiting for her from two young ginger brown haired girls and a little dark haired boy. All three waved their arms in front of them up and down, bowing their heads and stepping back as Gillian walked in; hearing just a phrase in chant.
“Hail Sonic, hail Sonic,” all three cried with joy and laughter. Gillian laughed with excitement as the chanting quiet down; Gillian stared at the three and nodded.
“I’ve told you already, quit the chanting. I’ve already had a headache from Nidhiki’s [another Bionicle] complaining at home this morning.” They laughed again as Gillian headed upstairs, they started following her like ducklings following their mother. “I’ve got a headache for three reasons; one I’ve hearing strange voices inside my head, Victoria being stupid as ever, and Krekka [another Bionicle] has been asking the question ‘Where can I find a burrow with lots of bunnies?” Gillian sounded goofy with her last reason causing the three to laugh again with excitement.
Downstairs, Hal was on his hands and knees and headed for Lucky’s mad direction. He picked up a hard blue and red ball and threw it into the other room, Lucky dashed after the ball. Hal looked towards Lucky trotting back with the ball in his mouth. He then noticed the other boy was on the computer, the screen was mostly black but it was an old pc game. The writing spelled teams in football; he deleted and typed to make his own team.
Gillian stood in front of a chest of draws and a tall mirror, behind on the bed were the two girls sat depressed. The little boy ran on his hands and knees as a small creature. Gillian turned around to see their depressed faces, noticing their hands were positioned so it looked as they were playing cards. “Where did you get that pack of cards?” Gillian shouted with a low voice, both looked up and pointed towards the crawling around boy on the floor now starting to grab her leg. “How can a Visorak (another Bionicle name) give you a pack of cards? That’s pathetic!” The long ginger brown haired girl looked back at her invisible card hand.
“Do you have anything then?” She asked the other girl; she just dropped her hand sin front of her and smiled.
“Four aces, I win,” She replied.
“You cheated Doctor Jones, I have two aces right here!” The oldest shouted pointing towards the other girl with a child like voice. Gillian covered her face with one hand and shook her head, shaking her leg to loosen the grip of the little boy.
“Will you two shut up,” Gillian shouted with a low voice again and knocked over the boy onto his back; he had his arms and legs up like he couldn’t get up and as a four legged creature. Gillian clasped her hands together and smiled, with a change of mood.
“So Ellen; are you done using someone else’s line?” She spoke and looked at the oldest girl out of the two. “Shall we have fun doing the hotel; the sorting, the complaints and the little tiny rabbits that get on Vakama’s (Bionicle again) nerves.” Ellen grinned; all three were delighted and replying with a yes. “Go outside the room for a minute and I’ll be one of the Bionicles.”
“Ok, let’s go Sarah. David come on, Gillian is going to be someone.” Ellen cried and all three left the bed clear and out the room. “We are bunnies and we are looking for Vakama, we enter everyone’s rooms to find him.”
Gillian watched them leave and climbed onto the bed and lay down on her side. Waiting for Ellen, Sarah and David to come back into the bedroom to get a surprised on who they find.
Hal sat watching the older boy on a rocking chair play on a television game of Sonic the Hedgehog 2. I wonder if Gillian’s beat the last boss yet on this, Chris has already beaten her to it. Hal thought, then staring at Lucky’s sad cute face sat in his cage beside Chris the older boy.
Teave anto hikecan wevanro.
Hal shook his head, the voice he heard was haunting and noticed a character in blue suddenly die and the screen turned black for a second. He looked at Chris with curiosity, he looked cold and he wasn’t moving the character. Hal looked at the screen and was in shock, the character moved by it self getting high points destroying every enemy in sight with time to spare. While it was picking up rings, Chris and Hal looked at reach other in wonder; they both looked around knowing no one was watching in horror. Hal leaned onto the arm of the chair to hear a whisper from him.
“I heard someone or something a minute ago, and then Sonic killed himself. Now he’s playing the game without me controlling him.” Chris whispered into Hal’s ear, he nodded as if to say he heard it as well. “Ever since that storm past, I’ve noticed strange things have been going on. I am seeing things go by when no one can notice it. I’m seeing ghosts; even now one is pressing the controls in my hands.” Hal and Chris looked closely at the controls, a button was pushed down as Sonic jumped and the left arrow was pressed down so Sonic moved along the screen. “Freaky or what?”
Back upstairs, Ellen, Sarah and David entered the room again to find Gillian lying on the bed. She was rolling around and moaning in terror, they laughed as they joined her on the bed.
“No, no, I don’t want to change; I don’t want to be ugly. No leave me alone.” Gillian sat up in shock and panting like she woke up from a nightmare.
“Morning Matau (another Bionicle),” Ellen and Sarah called and laughed again as Gillian removed the shock and grinned at them. David jumped onto the bed and started to bounce in front of her.
“Again, again, again.” He cried with happiness but was stopped when Hal entered the room. All four looked at him, wondering why he came up.
“Gillian can I speak to you for minute, it’s kind of important.” Ellen and Sarah watched Gillian get off the bed and headed out of the room with Hal; both started to sneak after them. Placing their ear onto the next door to the room, they listened to Hal’s conversation realising Chris was also in there.
“Your in the weird department, we’ve seen Sonic the Hedgehog 2 playing by it self a while ago.” Hal began, looking towards Chris nodding in agreement.
“We also started hearing a voice with bizarre language, any idea?” Chris asked but Gillian shook her head.

!Mini Dev

“I’ve been thinking about that, it’s happened to me too.” Gillian replied until Ellen and Sarah opened the door. Chris, Gillian and Hal stared at them for spying on them.
“I’ve had a strange dream; it felt it had happened before. Mother told me I slept all day and all night.” Ellen began to explain, Sarah looked at her and back to them. “I was on a different planet; all of us were in it, from what I heard I was in a city called Taran. We were dressed similar to normal life but we had powers, we fought against another group that had powers too. All of you were called different names and I was called Pinpin.” Ellen paused as Chris and Hal looked at Gillian for any idea what it meant. “Then I heard two things when it went black; ‘Crarans Tas Rans, Virtual has come to Reality.” With those final words, it all went quiet; rustles outside called to them that was the only sound.

It was a late night in Dalton; Galax Star had grown tired of finding her friends and her double. She sat on the roof on a bar and restaurant and she was able to hear party music starting up. Looking up at the stars above, they twinkled while she gazed up at them. Suddenly, she heard sounds of car engines below turning off in the car park. She looked down in despair but wiped her despair as she watched two boys climb out of a car. From a blue car, two girls and boy stepped out of the car all excited. They...look like Sparker, Riowner. Pinpin, Pinpon and Pequra. It’s there doubles, where’s mine. If they are all brothers and sisters on Tetris surely they are related somehow. Galax then noticed another blue car park up beside them, stepping out of the car was a young woman in a red dress. Is that my answer, I wouldn’t be able to move well; mind you it’s really not my double. From the back, stepped out another girl in a brown suit, she captured Galax’s eye. That’s a lot better, they must be sisters, but the others came from a different creature. Still I need to join up with her, my vision shows me, Ozaskger and this reality me I think are one.
“Too bad Galax, you found who I was looking for, now I can get rid of all six of them at once.” Said a voice behind her, Galax turned in shock as a glass cylinder surrounded her. No, this pain inside me. I don’t like surrounding walls that keeps me still. Galax cried in her thoughts as she looked back down to the kids.
“Please hear me, help me. Why can’t they... I’m not flesh here I’m just a ghost myself.” Galax stared at her hands in horror knowing she can’t do anything about her capture. “And I can’t move through this glass, I’m trapped.”
“Exactly how it is.”

*

Inside at a table, all seven of the kids sat around talking with their favourite drinks. Victoria glanced at the dance floor; no one was dancing to any music played. Everyone looked towards the empty space; they wouldn’t go over to dance on their own.
“So it has happened again, someone stand at the side which will gain others to join them.” Gillian suggested, Chris looked at her and stared at his drink. “What, it does seem to work.” Ellen and Sarah looked at each other and nodded their heads, but then shook them.
“No one would want to go over and stand there,” Ellen replied to Gillian’s suggestion. “They don’t want to go on the dance floor and stand in one place, you’ll be embarrassed.”
“Not if you do it right Ellen, go over to the bar first where no one can tell that you’ve come from the table. Take your time and go.”
“You try if you think it will work.” Sarah spoke and watched Gillian and waited for her to leave the table for the bar. Gillian got up and left the table, heading towards the bar. David started after her; Chris, Hal and Victoria watched Ellen and Sarah leave the three of them. Gillian and David walked onto the side of the dance floor; behind them Ellen and Sarah followed them into the space. The four of them spread out and started to dance with each other. Chris and Hal were surprised and stared in wonder as they too left their chairs to join them.
“She was right Hal, it does work. I’m impressed, one goes to a side and the others join them.” Chris mentioned, turning to Victoria still sat down, he understood her reason of her not coming. All six were on the dance floor, and then Chris had the idea of a wave done by all of them as the music played on. “Remind me of that follow trick next time no one wants to go onto the dance floor.” Chris whispered to Gillian beside him, she smiled with relief as they broke apart to dance separately. Gillian leaned onto the wall as she watched the others dance in circles. Chris unlikely joined her on her right and watched the excitement in the other kids faces.
“The cousins are happy, hope they had a small bad time today.” Gillian murmured; Chris looked at her puzzled. He thought about his time at home with Hal, nothing brought up a bad time during that day.
“No for me and Hal, probably no for Ellen, Sarah and David either.” Chris replied delightedly. He noticed Gillian’s smile faded, and stared towards Chris.
“Victoria and I haven’t spoiled the beginning of today at all; something’s might spoil the night. There’s always a bad time during the day but you never know when it will strike.” Gillian glanced at Ellen and Sarah dancing in a circle with David between them. “My bad time will be when dad will start annoying me at home.”
“Nah, I doubt we’ll have a bad time tonight, trust me on that” Hal had overheard their conversation; suddenly the music started jumping on different timings. Chris and Gillian stared at Hal with such frustration, Hal felt surprised. “Ok, maybe I was wrong.” More jumps in music started causing the other cousins to stop and stared in wonder.
“Shakes,” Gillian whispered staring towards a glass of coke with the DJ, during the jumps the liquid also jumped and rippled. Chris and Hal turned to each others direction with confusion. “Something’s wrong, move now!” She shouted; Ellen, Sarah and David ran off the dance floor to safety. Gillian, Chris and Hal were about to move themselves but a crash through the back wall behind the music equipment. They watched in horror as the DJ was killed as a huge cylinder slid through. Laughter echoed inside the room, stepping from behind the cylinder was someone dressed in a green insect costume from head to toe.
“Hal, it looks like a Digimon if you think about it.” Chris mentioned which was unnecessary to say. They stepped forward towards them noticing they were backing away from him.
“There is no where you run to; I’ve sealed you in here along with your little ones as well.” They sound male, but Hal was puzzled, they haven’t done anything. “Your existence will be terminated so you won’t stand in my way. And they can’t help you either.” Chris and Gillian were surprised; they took a glance towards the cylinder. Inside were ghosts that looked just like them, Chris suddenly noticed that he drew a twin bladed sword and pointed it towards them.
“Gillian and Hal move quickly, Ellen, Sarah, David find cover fast. I’ll get that twin bladed sword off him,” Chris shouted. Although I’m sacrificing my life here. He noticed the person in the insect costume laughed with confidence.
“You dare challenge me without a weapon to fight me with; you’re more pathetic than Sparker.” He explained and his haunting laughter filled the room. Sparker, is that what my double is called that’s in there? Chris thought and side stepped to his right to dodge an attack charged towards him.
Chris’ foe quickly grabbed Gillian and threw towards the cylinder, causing her to hit her head onto the glass hard. “You have been my way for far too long, say sayonara child!” As he was taking aim and about to throw his sword in Gillian’s direction, Chris quickly tried to trip him and cause him to miss but he just threw it towards her. “What?” He sharply turned and looked at Chris on floor; staring back at Gillian his sword pierced threw the glass beside her hair with such force.
Inside the cylinder; Galax and other spirits in her condition, she woke up on her front surrounded by the glass cylinder. Galax gasped as she realised they were people she knew. Sparker, Rio, Pinpin, Pinpon and Pequra; they’ve been captured too. Where are Midnight and Dracon? Are they outside this tube... what! Galax moved away from the glass as a shadow headed straight for her. Suddenly piercing through was a twin bladed sword. Midnight has caused a crack, without his sword in position now, I can escape. What... who is that?

“Are you alright Gillian?” Chris yelled as Gillian nodded quickly to him, turning to the sword by her she noticed a figure inside the cylinder. The figure also noticed her and trying to push the sword out. They want to get out, but is it the right thing to do? Well who ever tried to kill me is my enemy and it would be risky if I let them out of there. Gillian suddenly looked up towards the sword seeing Hal thrown beside her on the other side of the sword.
“Hal, I know it’s risky but help me pull this out,” Gillian whispered to him, Hal looked at her in surprise, he was probably thinking that she was nuts. “Trust me on this, I get the feeling it’s the right thing to do.” Hal took a glance towards Chris being beaten to a pulp. Turning back to Gillian he nodded in reply, both scrambled to their sides and grabbed the handle. As they pulled, the harder it was coming out.
“You never learn kid, you are nothing compared to me.” Chris’ foe spoke and gave a taunting laughter. Chris suddenly noticed a misty spirit of a small dragon; it swooped towards them and gave a quiet roar. Chris’ opponent looked at it and left him on the floor. He turned and saw in horror as Gillian and Hal were pulling out his sword from the cylinder. “No!” He yelled as he rushed over to stop them, but with a struggle it was too late. The sword had loosened enough to slip out with one yank; the sword hurled through the air and knocked back the insect costumed person. “Foolish children, you shall pay for causing such interference.” He was then shocked as streams of mist flew out of the cylinder, three entered Ellen, Sarah and David in the corner. As they entered their bodies, a strange feeling flowed through them. One spun around Chris scrambling to his feet and stared in wonder as it also entered his body. The feeling was like something had caused them to be stronger than normal. Two flied in circles above searching for certain ones, they weren’t around. Finally the last two from the cylinder flew out of the crack and turned to enter Hal’s and Gillian’s.
Getting on their feet, Gillian was different and stared towards the insect person. Hal and Chris stared with puzzlement as Gillian took a few steps forward. “It’s been a while now, feeling odd with someone else’s body to use.” He said and gave another taunting laugh.
“That laughter is getting old, but I know now you’re not Midnight because he doesn’t gloat every time.” Gillian spoke towards him; he was surprised that she was now all calm after her fear of him. Galax Star and her company have taken the kids as hosts for them. Of course, she lost her body when I struck her into the hidden warp gate. “Come on, I know you’re someone related to Midnight Starfoot. Dracon doesn’t hang around near strangers of the family. That’s right, I know that spirit next to you; I’ve seen him on Tetris. Which are you then, the oldest or the youngest Starfoot?”
“That’s for me to know and you to find out.” He replied and faded away and out of sight with the misty spirit behind him. Gillian looked up at the ceiling watching the two remaining streams of mist circle around.
“You know your quest; go find your doubles here, ok.” Gillian spoke quietly but loud enough for Hal to hear. Looking up he watched the misty spirits rush out of the building. Chris stepped forward as Hal scrambled to his feet and the little cousins rushed over them. The shield disappeared that held them trapped. Gillian felt strange as she seems to be back to her normal self. “What... what happened, what was I saying?” Gillian and Chris made eye contact and noticed an unusual spark in each other’s eyes.

In a spooky and gloomy forest lay a girl on her front; she had black short hair and black clothes that suited her mood. She was unconscious. As she opened her eyes, she saw the roots of the trees around her. Carefully rolling over onto her back, she stared up towards the blank sky. Sitting up and getting onto her feet, she looked around. An opening through the trees lead towards a stone temple, many people were wandering around with sadness. As she rushed to the edge of the forest she realised she knew some of them. Some of these people, they’re from Cube but they were killed. Am I also dead, what happened though? A colony was in sight when I escaped from Cube, it shot the engines and then Tornado Spacer hit. She stepped out of the forest and stared at the temple, it was massive than she thought.
“Alright you two enough hassle and keep away from each other. Sarika you stay on your side of the area.” A voice came from her left; two warriors one in blue and one in yellow were separated by a ghostly hedgehog above them. Both left him as the ghost headed back towards the temple.
“Excuse me, but where am I?” She asked the ghostly hedgehog, it turned to her with confusion. “I need to get back to a friend of mine.”
“And you are?” It asked her which startled her completely. “What is this your first time being around here?”
“Yeah, my name is Rosie Sim.” She replied, the ghost quickly and magically produced a checklist and scanned down the list of names. “Now about where I am...”
“Rosie Sim from Cube, you got here earlier than expected. This is Spirit World kid, get used to it.”
“What, but I need to help my friend Galax Star in my world. She needs to be helped back on Cube.” Rosie noticed they were walking away until she mentioned Galax Star and turned around back to her.
“You must have been out the too long time passes so fast in your world. Galax Star was sent to Tetris, to the Shadow Realm.”
“The Shadow Realm!” Rosie shockingly spoke.
“Hey, I’m not done; she hit the warp gate causing Virtual to join with Reality and now she’s bonded with two girls, Ozaskger from Tetris and a girl called Gillian from Reality.”
“Whoa, hold on; what was that about Virtual and Reality?”
“Virtual and Reality are two similar but different dimensions. Reality doesn’t know of our existence and Virtual has heard rumours about them. Now both dimensions are bonded together, they can’t be separated from each other. Reality will put their lives at stake heading to these planets and will fill this place up like there’s no tomorrow.” From a distance, one of the spirits had heard their conversation.
“There is no tomorrow here!” They shouted. Both looked at them and turned back to each other.
“So, if you want to get back to your world, you need a double in Reality to bond with or train your element power so you can enter Reality in spirit form. What’s your element power then, everyone has one but since you’re from Cube it will take time for your element to be ready or don’t want them.”
“My element power, I don’t know,” Rosie replied and stared at the hedgehog ghost getting out his checklist again. Searching across Rosie’s name, in the column ‘Element’ was Shadow version 1.
“Does any relatives come from the Shadow Realm, because they are the only ones that get shadow powers and they’ve been past onto you.” Looking up at her, she nodded slightly.
“What if I want to do both?” Rosie asked, as she followed the spirit up stone stairs to the temple.

It was quiet, everyone was sleep. Gillian slept in star covered room and child memory wardrobe and draws. Her wardrobe and chest of draws were the only things that stood out from the room’s theme of stars. She seemed peaceful but didn’t last; she began to twitch as she dreamt.

Gillian began running through high buildings around her, she was panting as she ran on. Looking behind her, darkness was left behind with a strange creature inside chasing after her. It was like a fox hunting prey, a game of cat and mouse. Not much of its outline showed, but it did reveal it wasn’t human one bit. Looking on ahead she realised another one slid in darkness in front of her to stop her. She stopped running and looked behind her to the other creature, it had slowed down and both started circling her. They were huge by length, Gillian only half the size of one and same size to another. Snarling and growling came from both creatures around her, as Gillian looked up an unusual creature flying slowly above the buildings like a Chinese dragon. Gillian was terrified of the sight of them as the circling hunters watched her shake with fright, not caring for her feeling scared.
“You are in fear then,” A cold voice from behind Gillian and beyond the circling creatures which was like it came from all around. Two taller creatures, taller than Gillian stepped through the shadows but not entering the gloomy light that surrounded Gillian. “You can’t hide from us child, you are never safe from us in dreams. We are now English to you but no one else will understand our conversation, you will return home to us once your task here is finished” Everything darkened even more, all five creatures faded into darkness. Gillian looked around noticing the buildings had disappeared as well.
“What are they talking about...I’m already home,” She watched her surroundings change to the living room and watched a time when they were packing to leave the house.
“Are you sure, by the look of it, it isn’t. This scene is when you started to move out leaving him behind.” Gillian noticed her dad just watch them pack. “These memories have now gone into your head, covering your real past.”

“Huh, what a nightmare and a half; who was speaking to me?” Gillian opened her eyes and turned her head to see the chest of draws beside her. Why is this dream still inside my head, it should have disappeared. It wasn’t real. Gillian thought to her self.
Who ever said it wasn’t real, your bond with Galax Star led us right to you. Now you’re awake, we can’t speak to her; it seemed she could hear us when you’re unconscious or what you call asleep.
Gillian slowly sat up and rubbed her eyes, when her hands were removed from her eyes she was startled. A small spirit with scalene yellow eyes only with mist surrounding it. Gillian tried to scream but her mouth was only open without sound.
Since you’re awake I can torture your life as well as Galax’s.
Suddenly Gillian was pushed back onto her pillow and her body felt paralyzed under her sheets except her head. Many haunting gloats filled the room at the total of six, Gillian kept struggling to escape but her sheets had a mind of its own and kept her in bed.
If tell of our little talk, you will be eliminated and we will take what is rightfully ours.
The scalene yellows shone brightly in Gillian’s eyes, causing her tiredness and fell back to sleep. As the yellow eyes were just about to fade away, he noticed her condition after his light show, sniggering to himself and thought carefully.
Bright light doesn’t suit you then, you tire when you see light.
Finally he disappeared I silence, that paralyzed state of Gillian’s body was removed like nothing had ever happened.

* * *

Next morning, Gillian felt dizzy after a visit from the strange spirit that had spoke to her. Even though she wasn’t stunned, she still didn’t think of leaving her bed. Gillian thought about the misty spirit that threatened her to eliminate her if she told anyone about it. So I can’t talk about my dream, but what if Chris or Hal ask about my dream. I don’t to lie to them, but it only said about our talk after I woke up. Gillian stared up at ceiling, watching illusion images of the scalene yellow eyes anger and narrow.
Downstairs, Victoria and her mother greet Ellen, Sarah and David inside. Gillian could hear the door open while she got herself dressed; her door was closed and untouched. Suddenly she heard voices of to more boys downstairs, they were talking about last night and party was disturbed by the person in an insect costume. Gillian finally finished getting dressed until clattering of footsteps ran upstairs, opening the door was Ellen and Sarah popped their heads in to see her. As they entered David also entered and jumped onto the bed. Chris and Hal slowly entered after him, all of them sat on the floor and on the bed for a little meeting.
“Anything happen then, I ended up seeing myself in front me and he told me that he was called Sparker. Sparker and those other spirits seem to be from a dimension called Virtual.” Chris began noticing Hal on the floor leaning against the wall. “Now we’ve bonded with them, we have their element powers and now enemies will find a planet they can take easily.”
“My double is Riowner; he knows which element we have.” Hal mentioned; everyone looked at him, desperate to know their element power. “Ok, ok then. Chris has Electricity, Ellen has Sand and Ice, Sarah has Inferno Fire, David is Rock, Gillian has Water and I have Grass or Earth.”
“Sarah is Pinpon, David is Pequra,” Ellen began but Hal interrupted by standing up and leaned on the door behind him.
“Why are your doubles called; Pinpin from two days ago, Pinpon and Pequra, it’s kind of dumb.” Hal asked but Ellen and Sarah giggled.
“Would you like to know their full name?” Ellen giggled again; Hal was startled and shook his head getting the idea. “Pinpin’s full name is...”
“Alright, alright, I get the idea; it must be very long then. It’s ok; its cool besides my double is called Rio for short sometimes.” Hal almost began to hesitate but then looked at Gillian. “So anything happen in your dream Gillian?”
“Can I finish? Chris, Hal and I already know ours; Gillian’s is called Galax Star but in my dream two days ago Galax seems to change around to someone called Ozaskger. Now Galax can’t change to Ozaskger anymore but can switch with Gillian, like the rest of us now.”
“Ok Ellen, now about what Gillian dreamt about.” Gillian hesitated as Hal looked at her waiting for an answer. What shall I say; I can’t tell them I dreamt about creatures chasing me.
“Gillian, can you hear me? It’s Galax, what’s wrong?” Galax asked inside their head, Gillian was surprised of her voice sounding just like her. “Listen, that dream wasn’t ordinary. Sparker can sense if you’re telling the truth or lying, and only us. Just tell them Gillian, whatever your dream said, they can’t be trusted, trust me on this”
“Ok, it may sound strange but here it is; I found myself among tall buildings and darkness surrounded me everywhere I went. I was chased by two strange creatures; it was like they were on a hunt. One was flying above circling above me while the other two circled around. Then a voice, I didn’t know what it was talking about but I wonder if Galax knows anything about it.” Gillian felt unusual as she began glowing dimly and felt a lot calmer. Gillian was no longer in the room leaving Galax in her clothes in her place. Chris and Sarah were quite surprised and Hal stared in amazement.
“This dream you call it, like yours it’s not ordinary. It was difficult to ID them on what they look like, but this voice was actually speaking to me and not Gillian.” Galax began as Hal sat back down onto the floor; Chris leaned on the wardrobe and Ellen, Sarah and David sitting on the bed. “I’m not sure who it was, but their style talking me is familiar in a way. To Gillian and me, they speak English but to anyone else they speak Cronika.” Chris remembered Hal, Gillian and himself before the party they heard a bizarre language, also remembering Ellen’s dream mentioned some strange language.

!Mini Dev

“Would ‘Crarans Tas Rans’ be Cronika, Ellen heard in a dream a few days ago, and some of us have heard unusual language in our minds,” Chris asked but during when we had mentioned the one line, Galax was surprised.
“Yes, that is Cronika; it means ‘Impossible Becomes Possible’.”
“Criterera!” Hal shouted; everyone stared at him including Galax. “It came into my head, has Rio used it or heard it?”
“He has used it, how should I put this; it’s like asking what is something that is unbelievable.”
“Like ‘What on Earth is that?’ something like that?” David asked making fun of the fun of the question.
“Exactly like that, but it is similar to the actual meaning. Rio isn’t really allowed to use it.” Chris laughed and looked at Hal with excitement.
“Hal you naughty boy, don’t use such language like that. It must include swearing, but we will use David’s idea on how to say it. Everyone laughed in excitement, not realising that they were being watched.
Outside camouflaged in the tree, was the misty spirit with its scalene yellow eyes watching and listening to them have fun.

Somewhere in space, on Tetris; little creatures in colours by element were curled up asleep. They were spiky while curled up; one in water blue woke up and unravelled itself and looked around. It was a little hedgehog; it then noticed another hedgehog in yellow waiting for something. They were waiting for their time to move, obvious it wasn’t long.

Area 5, Desert Zone

Somewhere around Earth lies the Mystic Zone Planet, Desert Zone Planet, Ruin Zone Planet and many others at a total of twelve. Each one more stunning than the last, and all different and sometimes similar; Mystic Zone Planet is very similar but the some buildings are actually something else. In Ulverston on Earth, a junior school called Sir John Barrow but on the Mystic Zone Planet it is a science lab. Work on creating creatures that lived on planets with countryside or wastelands. Inside the lab, scientists were examining DNA and experimenting with trying to form a creature from DNA. One male scientist looked up at a painting of space and a dome shaped space colony. He then looked beside him to a female scientist with long blue hair.
“Do you think trying to use Professor Zacut’s research will actually create such powerful element creatures?” He asked with his short black hair, she stared at him and shrugged her shoulders. “Oh, it’s unknown whether they were a success or failures. These psychic creatures really want a challenge to test their power, so taking sample from those legendary ones the silver psychic would be amazing as well as creating a new kind psychic type.”
“We don’t know whether this will actually work, that old design of shadow ring only works on powerful creatures and only destroying it will cause the hold to break.” They looked behind them, inside a glass box was a gold headband with a small ruby slotted in the front centre.
“Professor Kiran, Professor Vicra, we’ve got the DNA complete. We’ve created the silver psychic, and we’ve almost completed the other one too!” Another scientist rushed in with orange hair and excited. “They aren’t activating them yet but you should see them, Professor Vicra come on your child is going to be awakened.” The female scientist smiled and nodded in reply.
“Come on Professor Kiran, it’s our chance to see the new element creature.” As they left down the corridor, they didn’t realise a door opening on the other side of the room. Stepping inside, was Tantrum. She watched the orange haired scientist come back for the golden headband. Tantrum carefully walked across the lab and looked into the main lab next door. As she looked around, she noticed two glass cylinders containing a silver coloured hedgehog curled up in water with an air mask from above. Another hedgehog in the same position slept inside the other container. It was striped with silver, gold and purple, the scientists gazed in awe. The golden headband was placed inside another glass box for protection. Tantrum gave a small smile from the sight of it. She reached to her side and belt to a white and grey gun, drawing it out her eyes narrowed because of where she stood. Looking across the side of the room she noticed another corridor which led towards an exit.
“There she is, get her!” From behind her, two grey suited men ran towards her. “That girl’s trespassing here!” Tantrum ran towards the corridor and jumped onto her side and pulled the trigger aiming for a control panel with a lever. After she fired she had slid into the corridor, getting herself off the floor she hid behind the wall noticing light from the room getting brighter.
“What, what’s going on, the lever has been hit. It’s activating our newest creation; it won’t budge its jammed!” One scientist shouted; Professor Kiran stared in shock as the glass surrounding the three coloured hedgehog started cracking. The eyes glowed light blue, watching the glass crack even faster. Professor Vicra stared towards the silver hedgehog still in slumber as the other one caused the cylinder around it to fall apart with a crash. The grey suited men rushed over to Professor Vicra.
“Miss, some girl had entered the building and she has caused this to happen!” One said; they then heard gasps of horror. The three coloured hedgehog stood on the base of the cylinder, all scientists stared in shock. As it looked around catching his eye was the golden headband and the sleeping silver hedgehog. The glass box around the golden headband slowly cracked at the back and scientists close to him were blown backward away from his feet.
Suddenly professor Kiran noticed the glass box was almost broken open, it finally shattered. The headband started to levitate up and towards the stray creature; it then grabbed hold of the band and looked at it.
“Put it on, put it on.” Professor Kiran whispered until Professor Vicra stared at him and shook her head slightly.
“No, he will hear you; this is a three way psychic. It has the powers of all three psychic elements; he can hear your whispers.” Vicra whispered and stared back towards the hedgehog, she suddenly noticed she had also caught his eye. He started to anger as more grey suited men charged in with large grey guns. He quickly glanced at the sleeping silver hedgehog’s glass cylinder, with a blink of an eye the whole cylinder disintegrated away and jumped to grab him. “No, stop please, don’t do this. You were not created for doing this.” She cried as it took off through the ceiling as Vicra looked through the hole they were gone.
Tantrum smiled and set off again and out of the science lab. Their task of defeating this enemy will be tricky, even when their elements are fed by their energy to move. Tantrum placed her white and grey gun back into her belt, walking away from the scene and innocent like she was never there at all.

Back on Earth, Gillian and her cousins were getting ready to go on a boat trip. Unfortunately Victoria couldn’t go because her little black and brown companion Lucky, her cute and small dog. They agreed to show their new friends around, Galax and her company inside them all. Sarah though with ginger brown hair felt nervous as she looked over the side to the water below. David the youngest with dark hair also felt nervous and stayed with a tall boy with ginger brown hair as company. Ellen, like Sarah and David she was clinging onto Gillian as she stared down at the water. Hal and Gillian noticed that Chris had been a lot quiet than usual. He had kept a close eye on Gillian lately, after yesterday when Gillian talked about her dream he had been suspicious about her.
“I know she’s not telling us something, she keeps changing the subject when we mention it. Something is on her mind.” A voice inside Chris’ head said, Chris turned and watched Sarah starting to feel sick. Sparker, I know, I can sense it too. Also I’ve been hearing strange voices before I bonded with you and was bizarre. I think that Gillian heard something or seen something far worse. Chris Looked back to Gillian and Ellen as they headed into the boat. Hal grabbed Sarah and rushed inside with David behind, leaving Chris on the deck by himself. He watched the boat leave the dock of Barrow and waved everyone he knew good bye.
“See you later!” Chris shouted and headed inside to join the others.
Inside Gillian and Hal had switched to Galax and Riowner and stood inside the main control room. Ellen, Sarah and David sat at the side watching them steer the boat round.
“What makes you sure you know how to dive these things Galax,” Riowner asked and turned to find Chris stood in the door way. Turning back to the no reply he got from Galax. “I mean, Hal said that adults know how to drive this boat. You’re just a teenager; you haven’t even read the manual.” Galax turned and looked at him, while they had their staring contest; Ellen suddenly noticed that they were heading for rocky points in the water. Galax without taking her eye off Riowner, she quickly turned the wheel causing the boat to miss every single rock sticking out of the water.
“Riowner, if I paying attention to you only, we would have hit the rocks; luckily I noticed them before you started asking me those questions.” Galax explained and looked on ahead; Riowner looked outside and stared towards the open sea. “None of the adults know about us but they know we have element powers and each is different. Also we have our talents which they believe that we can take care of our selves. You need to read that manual because I may get worn out and we need to keep on track.”
“Alright Riowner you better get started then, come on Ellen, Sarah, David. We’ll go down below.” Chris said with delight and handed Riowner a thick book on controlling the boat. The four left them to it as they headed downstairs leaving Galax and Riowner in the main control room.

Down below, Chris and his younger cousins unpacked some plastic boxes to sandwiches and packed drinks. Ellen felt i
