Right then. I'll book Midnight and Shez for appearances coming soon. Though for now, here's my next:
-----------------------------------------------------
"So, this is the Airport?" Moshi asked.
The other division of the group had separated for a while, and used a simple though long stone stairway that lead from the bottom of the cliff to the top. They now stood on a huge tower of land that seemed to be quite superior in overall size to the rest of the island. It was also one of the smallest in width. A single building and a long road that lead off the side of the island was all that stood at the peak.
Yoshee, who was exhausted, and had to carry both of her chao in her hands because they could no longer move freely, was panting as she reached the top. "...finally."
"So then, so you see what we have to do?" Parakoop asked. "We must build a craft that can escape this island. It's the only hope this island has left."
"So then don't be too glum about it." Yin said. "We'll get this thing going soon. So then, what kind of thing are we building? A plane, a balloon, a jet?"
"Unfortunately, we don't have the kinds of materials necessary for such crafts." Parakoop said.
"Then what do you want to make, a rocket?" Enrique asked.
Parakoop looked a tad nervous. "I'm not sure about-"
"Look." Enrique said. "Just show us what you got and we'll take it from there."
"...um, ok. I'll show you the hanger."
---------------------------------------------------------
"Ok." Enrique said. The group gathered around as he placed a box on the table. He reached and peeled off the take that held the box together, then overturned the container, sending metal items of all sorts to come to a clattering fall on the table. "It's 10 am, we're all tired, bored, and little hungry, and the sun is blazing on us, but listen up. Using these and other items in this room, we have to construct a flying craft. We've only got a little bit of time to do this and time's running out."
He took a few sheets of paper and tossed them to his friends. "Using these, we'll have to draw up designs for a craft."
"So we're drawing now?" LD asked.
"Eh, makes sense to me." Jay said. He took a pencil and poked his sheet of paper before beginning to doodle.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Yoshiken wielded his blade and slashed in the air, allowing him to block the attack that Demon threw.
"There's 5 enemies and 8 of us." Yoshiko said. "We'll have to divide for an easy defeat."
Yoshiken and John both stood side by side while facing Demon.
"So then, you are the one that people call Yoshiken?" Demon asked. "I have heard stories about you."
"So you have." Yoshiken said. He held his own blade, and signaled John to follow close behind.
"Are you sure it's safe?" John asked nervously.
"I got your back. Stay close, I can tell this battle's going to be big." Yoshiken said. With that note, he took off with great speed, headed strait for Demon. His katana clashed against Demon’s kunei knife.
Meanwhile, Lava himself decided he would go after the principal head on.
The principal rose a metallic hand. Lava reached for his own key blade, and in a taunting pose, signaled the principal to attack with a smirk on his face.
The principal shouted and held out both arms. Suddenly, his metallic hand broke free from the rest of his arm. Connected by a chain, the arm rocketed toward Lava. Lava jumped and dodged the attack valiantly, and watched as the hand flew back to the principal as the chain recoiled.
“Is that the best you got?” Lava asked. He decided it was now his time to attack. He held out the key blade, but suddenly was stopped as the same arm grabbed a hold of the key blade. Lava gasped and saw the principal standing a clear ten feet away, the chain extended all the way to the hand which was locked right on the key blade.
“Perfect.” Lava said. He gave a spin, and sent the principal flying through the air. He gave a scream and continued to fly until his crashed into a nearby building.
“That’s what you get for kid-napping my friends!” Lava shouted.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the battles continued forth, Leoshi was sitting by the side of the beach, nearby the Majestuosa.
He looked back at his own reflection in the water, completely unaware of the battles that where occurring back in town.
“…I honestly can’t believe I had to come back to this place.” Leo thought, placing his hand on his head. “I thought I’d never have to return.”
“And there-in lies the key to your weakness.” a familiar, yet foreboding and sinister voice said. Leo gasped as he saw a new reflection in the water beside his. It looked just like him, but with white hair, red, glasses-less eyes, and a dark shroud that concealed the remainder of his body.
“You!” Leoshi shouted, turning around to face his look-alike.
“You, me… does it make a difference?” Dark Leoshi asked.
Leoshi got up, and slowly began to walk away.
“Running from that darkness of your own self?” Dark Leo asked. “…of course. What else should I have expected coming from you?”
Leoshi growled. He was running, and from the darker side of himself. He reached for his book, opening it right up to the page of the attack spell.
“Hm… I see you have gotten a bit far since I last saw you in Rougeport.” Dark Leoshi said. “A few more additions to your group… and a ship? A new spell? My oh my… you have become stronger… oh how good that is to hear.”
“What do you care?” Leoshi asked. “I will attack you!”
“But there is one thing that you have yet to overcome.” Dark Leoshi said, walking closer toward Leo, who took another step back.
“And that’s your fears about your past… such a pity, how you can’t escape them? You know, how they torment your mind?” Dark Leoshi said.
“That does it!” Leoshi said. He held out the book, which was now glowing.
“Ze-Shidome!”
The sphere of light flew in the air. Though right before it made contact, Dark Leoshi simply snapped his fingers. He then vanished into the air, causing the ball to simply rush away into the sky.
Leoshi gasped and took a few steps backwards in fear of being attacked. Suddenly, he felt a hand grab his shoulder. Leoshi tilted his head and saw Dark Leo grab him tightly. Leoshi made a startled gasp, right before he was suddenly engulfed in darkness…
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Leoshi slowly came to, the first thing he saw was his arm… his small, blue arm…
…but wait. His arm shouldn’t have been that small.
Leoshi slowly got up to his feet… but for some reason, he felt as if at that height that he would still be sitting. Something was wrong. Leoshi looked down and saw the book resting at his feet. His small feet…
That’s when it had occurred to him: for some reason he had decreased in side. Leo was now into a startled panic, and rushed over to the ocean side.
He was no longer a 15 year old. He looked to be around 7, maybe 8.
“Whoa!” he shouted in a childish voice that was an octave higher in pitch.
His hair was now shorter, looking like not too much then a simple few strands of brown hair. His glasses where now too big, and hung from his neck.
“…how did this happen?” Leo asked. “Have I simply decreased in age, or have I gone back in time? …and if I have…”
Leo’s eyes widened. “…this is about the same age I was when it happened…”
------------------------------------------------------------
More twists, I guess… yup. Short, I know. More coming soon.
