“So let me go over what you said” the man that attended to her at the justice centre said. “You actually believe that your friend got possessed by a villain from centuries ago and now she had kidnapped one of your other friends and tried to kill the princess of Elementa?”
“Well when you say it like that you say it like I was hallucinating and made it up” she grumbled.
“Oh! You got that. I could just call the medical unit and tell them to come pick you up because you don’t look so good”.
“You have to believe me”.
“There are real villains out there that we’re trying to find and you’re coming here wasting our time and making up names. You should know this is an offence.
“I’m not making up names” she denied.
“Leave before I put you in a cell. You clearly are an outsider even if you’re Supernatural”.
Okay that sting. If they weren’t going to listen to her, who would? She couldn’t just go to the summit and demand they listen to what she has to say.
Wait a Supernatural second, she actually could. But she could go to jail and also had to get through the guards. Clara would know how to take care of things.
Tresicta wriggled her fingers before Kieran’s unblinking eyes. She snapped her fingers and whatever spell he was under was broken. Kieran looked to her and she smiled at him. “Kieran, you can teleport right?”
“Yes I can” he replied.
She squealed.
She liked him like this. Obedient, docile and not trailing after the princess that she wasn’t sure was alive. But she had to get a move on before she was found. They’ll obviously take the princess’s report into consideration.
“There’s somewhere I need to go”.
“Just say it and I’ll take you”.
“Of course you will. Now I’ll tell you where I need to go but first we need a plan”.
“And what’s the plan?”
“Well when we get there, no matter what you’ll stay silent and not interfere. Is that alright?”
“It’s your plan” he agreed.
“Good. Now take me there”.
“So where do we conclude on that?” Victor asked.
“On an unrelated note….” Agira interrupted him. “You don’t really need those glasses, do you?”
Victor growled and Dilia mindlessly played with her butterflies. They had been able to get the guards to leave the room and they could continue their meeting. They’d spent three almost four days here and they all needed to leave. Agira was making things longer.
She was sure he was doing it on purpose to rile the King up.
“Yes Agira”.
“You don’t need those glasses right? You can actually see and control your lasers”.
“Yes I can” he replied.
That got Dilia’s attention. “Then why the glasses?”
Snow’s eyebrows twitched.
“The mystery” he shrugged. “And according to Tempa’s number one magazine I am the sexiest man alive”.
“Debatable” Dilia said.
“So you don’t think I’m the sexiest?” Victor sounded intrigued.
“You are sexy I’ll give you that, but has an actual vote been carried out between you and other men of home world? That’s a biased view”.
“So who do you think is sexiest?” Snow asked.
“That’s my opinion and it stays with me” she said dismissively.
Agira looked to Victor and smirked.
“So where do we conclude on our earlier discussion?” Snow asked.
“Tempa won’t be removing Luvinans staying” Victor said.
“Sava won’t be removing Luvinans”.
“I won’t be removing the outsiders” she sighed. “And measures will be taking in tackling this fight against evil”.
Snow was silent. People didn’t just move to Elementa. Even if they did it took a very long time so people didn’t bother. “I guess that’s settled then. I’d like to leave now”.
“Well I guess we can draw this to a close”.
“Why the rush?”
Everyone looked to Dilia who was looking back because she hadn’t said anything. But there was no other female in the room.
No one expected a girl to just appear on the table. “HELLO ANIMALS!!” she yelled. “How are you on this disastrous day?”
Everyone was frozen solid. No one could make sense of this and they looked to Victor. She was dressed in Tempan attire.
“What is this?” Dilia asked.
“What is that?” Agira asked gesturing to the girl.
“One of your plans?” Snow questioned.
“Was I gone that long that none of you remember me?” she asked looking round the room and they had looks that she didn’t like. Confusion instead of horrified.
“Okay I’ll jog you memory with a little hint. It’s me Tresicta”.
“Who?” Victor questioned.
“What in the four quads do you mean?”
“Last I remember she died, centuries ago” Snow pointed out. “Victor get your crazy product out of here”.
“What do you mean you’re Tresicta? She wasn’t Tempan. Victor this isn’t funny” Dilia argued.
“I’m not….who are you really?” Agira asked her.
“Stars you four got dumber”.
“I tire of these distractions. I’m leaving” Snow said making a move to stand up.
“Yes I know you’ll want to leave. Your daughter needs you right now anyway. Had a little accident”.
“Victor” Dilia said.
“And were you responsible?”
“What do you think?” she asked the king.
Icicles shot up from the table and they were long. They were meant to impale and kill. But she twisted out of the way of all the pointy parts. So she was hanging sideways in a barrage of ice. They turned to water and before they could get to her, she was above the Luvinan overlord. Her hands her support, her forehead almost touching the other woman’s.
The woman’s wrists shot up to grab her but she launched herself off. She saw the incoming bird too late and it sliced her cheek. Water wrapped round her middle and she was placed back onto the table. She could hear the crack, but that didn’t stop her from laughing.
Victor removed his glasses.
“Do it before we take offence” Agira grumbled.
His eyes just glowed before he was pushed back…..and he wasn’t the only one. Everyone else was pushed back to the furthest corners of the room. The girl who claimed to be Tresicta stood up and smiled.
“I do suggest home world get ready. Looks like the first time wasn’t enough. I won’t make that same mistake this time” and she disappeared.
Snow was on his feet. “My daughter was hurt on your grounds by your citizen. Y-you will….”
“We have bigger problems Snow” Dilia cut in using the wall to support herself. “Didn’t you hear what she said? When she said get ready….”
“You don’t really think she has an army to attack” Agira laughed at the entire situation.
“I don’t want to take any chances” Victor said.
The door burst open. “We saw everything that happened” his right-hand announced. “We tried to fight the hold on us, but we couldn’t. There was someone else with her”.
“Still want to leave it up to chance?” Dilia questioned. “I’m going home…” she made a gesture to her right-hand and he had her in his arms. “For the first time, the villain isn’t actually Luvinan, but a Tempan wannabe”.
She was carried out of the room.
“Go to the medical unit!” Snow ordered Sapphire.
“Is there a problem your highness?” she was confused.
“Stephanie was attacked by that….girl. Go check on her, Hale follow her and I’ll go ahead. There’s a war coming”.
He bowed and he and Sapphire were out of the room.
Agira looked to Snow and then to Victor. “Do either of you know what you’re up against?”
“Not in the slightest” Victor admitted.
“Well I suggest you educate yourselves. We will be meeting again soon I’m sure” and Agira walked out.
“So full of himself” Snow said to himself and walked out.
Victor was on his butt again. That girl hadn’t touched any of them and they had gotten defeated. What was that power?
Danny struggled to get past the entire crowd that was still present because all the leaders were leaving. She couldn’t control the minds of the people here there were too much. TV back on earth really made it seem telepathy had no limits. Charles Xavier didn’t exist.
There was security on the outside and she knew there would be security on the inside too. But could she risk it? Yes she could. Anything for Clara and the rest. She just got to love this place, she couldn’t let it get destroyed….by her friend nonetheless. And the whole quadrants wouldn’t let it happen just like that. And for that to happen they had to fight and she didn’t want her friend to be burnt to a crisp.
She could do this. She just had to set her mind to it. She pushed her hair behind both ears and walked towards the door. No one would stop her, well in their eyes no one could see her. The power of creating illusions. She wasn’t sure if she got everyone, but things were looking good.
She walked into the building and there weren’t a lot of signatures in here. Just one sizzling one which she guessed was Victor Prime. How would she know? She doesn’t know her president. She walked into the room to see the man just standing there and staring at the table.
“Sir”.
He looked up to her and he just stared.
“State your business”.
Now was the time for her to choose her words carefully.
“My friend was possessed by Tresicta” she began.
“Pardon?”
“Her name is Clara. She’s Savan and Tempan and she took me to the museum and well….she touched a picture and now she's a host for her consciousness. I don’t know”.
“This Clara of a Supernatural, you said she’s Tempan?”
“And Savan”.
“Why should I trust you? You could be part of her army”.
“I don’t understand. What army?”
His glasses glowed red and they uncovered his eyes and he shot at her. She shielded her face with both arms. His lasers hit her wrist and it burnt that cloth covering her wrist. He stopped firing and covered his eyes and when she dropped her hand that part glowed red for a slight second before it was coming back at him, but he tilted his head out of the way.
Wires came out of his sleeves and he attacked.
Defend herself or let her president kill her.
He jumped over her and she really wasn’t expecting the wires to bind her as he dropped on his feet. She couldn’t move.
“That was the same power the girl who attacked us had. You have a lot of explaining to do”.
“But I’m….”
Men in uniform trooped into the room and Danny recognized one of the signatures from when she had stopped at the justice centre. Stephanie needed to get her out of this. She had been attacked so….there were taking her to jail there was no argument there.
She wasn’t meant to be here anyway and she had indirectly attacked.
“Take her away” Victor said pushing her bound body to the man. “I’ll see to this later”.
“Yes Mr. President”.
Tresicta smiled at the screens that showed the chaos at the place of the summit. This was what she wanted. Entire chaos. The look on all their faces had been satisfying. Now that step two was completed it was time for step three. She needed her armour from the stupid museum.
Her face was already on the news so she couldn’t just go around like she owned the place. That was why she had someone who could teleport with her. She how she thinks. He was more efficient than the rest of them. Currently they were on a building opposite the museum and at twelve exactly the barrier would drop and they would walk in. She looked to Kieran and smiled.
“When are you going to stop pretending?” she questioned.
He was still silent, but she knew she wasn’t wrong.
She chuckled. “Tempa may be smart, but from the time I’ve been awake there’s a fault with their drones. They can’t turn, they can only see forward and move in one way. We have drones going and coming from east to west and from north to south. If one drone can’t see something through its peripheral another one sees it. Why I chose this building is because the roof is sunken and they can’t look down”.
He only stared.
“We have few seconds before the drones are replaced. Why they chose to use the museum for the security drones instead of the justice centre I have no idea. Get ready” she said and at that moment the barrier dropped and a line of new drones were coming out, while another was going in”.
Kieran simply teleported.
“Time to see if I still got it” she said to herself and ran to the ledge. Her claws were already out and she dropped off the ledge using her nails to claw down the windows of the building. ‘Just a little bit more’ and her nails punctured the glass and she stopped. The drones were getting smaller.
She kicked her legs and was upside down for a while and then her feet was planted against a window and she launched herself. One window went crack and it spread to the others and there was a loud crash. Kieran just stared face blank as the building before him shattered and she made it through the window landing daintily on her feet.
“I still got it” she said and the barrier was back up.
They both made their way down and it was surprising that there was no security. Everything was just out there. Tempa trusted her citizens that much not to guard things. They never did count on her coming back. She clicked her tongue at the name of the exhibit she was in.
‘Hall of the fallen’.
They both walked in and walked to the end where her stuff were. She got to the elevated stage and didn’t care that Kieran was there as she took her shirt off.
“How did you know I was pretending?”
“I felt the instant your energy spiked. It’s not mind control I had over you, I just suppressed your mind waves and replaced yours with mine. You broke my control when I was with the leaders and you were with their official guards. Why didn’t you do something?”
He laughed a little.
“I didn’t do anything to your emotions, like tone down your sympathy”.
“So you did?” he asked.
“Yes I did and when you broke it, why didn’t you do something about it?”
“Explain to me how you did it”.
“Just stopped your flow of energy and replaced your flow with mine. Now stop diverting and tell me”.
“There was something about doing what I did. The exhilaration. The feeling of knowing I have power of people and they couldn’t do much about it. I think that’s what my parents feel all the time and have been trying to get me to feel for a long time. Funny I was able to feel that when there aren’t around to see this. They’ll be excited”.
“Your parents? Fire squad?”
“Yes” he replied. “You know them?”
“I’ve seen the wanted posters. Where are they anyway?” she asked.
“Around” he shrugged.
“Well….that feeling you get-should I say it’s born with every Luvinan?”
“Every Luvinan?” he didn’t sound convinced.
“Only the talented ones” she answered his question. “Talent like you only happens once in a Luvinan half-moon”. “I know what you’re capable off. Show it to me and show it to all of home world. Don’t you want to impress that princess of yours?” her eyes were glowing green.
His eyes didn’t glow green this time.
“I hear dragons are part of your family line”.
Kieran smiled.
Tresicta got to dressing herself in her normal attire. She had enough of Tempa already. She put on her actual clothes that had been kept in perfect condition. Supernaturals might think how she’d be able to do what she did in a high double split skirt and simple long-sleeved shirt that provided no protection.
She didn’t need it because she was untouchable. No one had been able to physically harm her and it wouldn’t change now. She placed her peacock tail that had still survived the blast on her head. Her butterfly earrings were still there and she placed it in her piercings. She picked up her scythe and looked at herself in the mirror by the side.
“Not bad, but I prefer my actual self. Oh well we can’t win them all”.
“Are you ready?” Kieran asked.
“Yes, but we need more fire power”.
“The barrier is back up” she said. “But I’ll take care of that. Just do your thing and get us out of here”.
Sapphire stayed in the medical unit with Sir Hale waiting patiently for news about her sister. It wouldn’t do them well if they didn’t take care of her and them. She had no idea they could be served the way they were in the palace. Not exactly like royal service, but they tried.
Sapphire looked at Sir Hale and smiled.
“Is there a problem princess?”
“There’s no need to be like that. My father isn’t here, the servants aren’t here. Just be normal with me” she placed a hand on his knee.
“There are more pressing matters at hand. What happened in the waiting room for example and the king and the others getting attacked”.
“So what you mean Sir Hale is that you don’t care about me anymore?” she asked softly.
“Your highness” a woman in uniform approached and they both stood.
“And you are?” Hale asked.
“I’m the official in charge of your sister the princess. You can see her now”.
They followed the woman into a room to see her sister on the most comfortable looking bed they had ever seen in a medical unit. There were regenerative seals hovering over her.
“What happened?” Sapphire questioned.
The woman was about to answer but Stephanie got up. “What happened is that someone tried to make me look like earth’s savior”.
“I don’t understand that term Stephanie”.
“She was attacked” the official took over. “Not only was she stabbed through both palms that broke bone, there was major internal bleeding at the points where her energy flows” as she explained a hologram showed what she was talking about.
“Her major exit points of energy….” And it glowed red at exact points which were at most of her joints. “This can be explained better like her swallowing a bomb and it went off”.
“So what caused this?” Sapphire questioned.
“Well when she was brought here, it showed she did it to herself”.
“Did you sister?” Sapphire asked confused.
“No I didn’t. It was Cl….well it wasn’t….”
“Wait! You mean the cat?”
“What about her?”
“It was that same friend of yours that attacked the summit” Sapphire raised her voice a little at the end.
“Please don’t yell at the patient”.
“Don’t treat me like I’m weak” Stephanie said getting up. “Surprisingly yes, but it wasn’t her”.
“Then who was the blonde cat I saw in there?!” she demanded.
“She said her name was Tresicta”.
“Clara or whoever she claims to be tried to kill the king and you know the crime for that. We need to go home now”.
“But she can’t go” the official cut in.
“She’ll receive better treatment in Elementa” Sapphire supplied. “Sir Hale” she said. They all stood close and with a bright glow of blue they were gone.
The official just sighed. “Elementans”.
