~Chapter 2: Disturbances~

Simeon had watched Spirn since he left the sanctum of the woods. He had hoped that, by following the boy, Simeon might recall how he ended up becoming one of what people called these days "freaks."

Simeon knew full well that "freak" was not the right name for his kind... The true name had been echoing in his mind since he awoke half-impaled by the spear he held to a tree in that forest.

They were "Elementals."

It was Spirn that saved and healed Simeon... but he vanished soon afterward with no greeting or parting. Simeon was remarkably already adept with powers and had been a guardian of the woods... He knew Spirn was heading for trouble when he left the woods and continued to follow him.

The city was vast, and Simeon lost track of Spirn quickly... Until he heard him screaming for help.

Simeon flew quickly and quietly, unseen to all below, until he came to a large building with "F.H.S.S" written in huge block letters. The boy was in here.

He flew in, phasing through the front doors like a ghost. Simeon saw the guards dragging Spirn down the hall, kicking and screaming in the net.

Simeon readied his spear and and aimed for the fuse box at the end of the hall.

The guards saw a spear fly past them... then darkness.

"What the he-"

"ROAAAR!"

The emergency lights came on. All the guards were bewildered... and their captive was gone.

>>>>>>>

In a dark alley, Spirn glared at the familiar lion-morph as he gently untangled him from the net. "You didn't need to help me."

"We all like to think that we are self-sufficent, young master. I just owed you my life."

"Well... We're even now." Spirn growled tossing the net in the trash, "Next time, ask before becoming my guardian angel."

"But that is what I am... It has been my nature ever since I awoke."

Silence passed between the two for a few moments.

"Master Spirn. I, too, seek answers. I don't know who I was aside from my name, and you need a companion. Allow me to join you."

Spirn lowered his head in thought, considering the lion-morph's offer. It made sense to have back-up near by...

"What is your name?"

"Simeon Avaenjis, young master." Simeon bowed, "It is a pleasure."

"Well I guess I could use some help" said Spirn. But I can't seem to recall seeing you. Spirn Took A little while to think of what he had seen in that building. The glass orbs on the shelf and the giant pump looking thing. "Man, I wonder how they got that technology" Thought Spirn. He looked up at his rescuer "I just want to go back in their and find out some stuff ok" said Spirn. He tried to teleport but it didn't work. He tried his other powers and they worked fine but his teleportation had left him. "Um...Simeon, I think they took some of my powers" said Spirn in a small trembling voice. "If they could do this then is their any hope for us at all?"

Spirn ran as fast as he could out of the alley way. "sorry Simeon but I gotta do this alone" said Spirn. The only emotion he was feeling at that moment was rage. "They don't have the right to do this to us". Spirn ran to building and knocked out the guards quickly. "You must be glutton for punishment kid" said one of the guards as he through the net at him. Spirn dodged the net and Blasted one of the guards. The guard used a strange mirror and reflected the blast back at Spirn. Spirn was knocked to one of the shelfs. "NO! the power orbs" said the guard as one of the many orbs on the shelf smashed on Spirn's head. "What was that" thought Spirn as he picked himself of the ground, "I gotta get out of here". Spirn ran out of the building and the guards chased him out. Suddenly a winged being grabbed him of the ground as he passed out.

(Well I wonder who that could be? (sarcasm))

Spirn looked up.

"I guess you owe me now, young Master." Simeon said with a wry smirk on his face, "But I will not burden you with favors. Doing anything is your choice alone."

"Yeah. I'll remember that... IF WE SURVIVE." Spirn pointed at a guard aiming his rifle.

Simeon flung his spear at the guards, forcing them to scatter. In this moment of distraction and pandemonium, Spirn saw a duplicate of himself and Simeon materialze out of nowhere.

"Hold on tight."

The duplicates flew at a dizzying speed, further confusing the humans. Simeon swooped in and retrieved his spear... a few seconds later... he and Spirn vanished.

The guards started shooting at the fleeing forms... until they had dissapated. They had been shooting at an illusion. The real ones had escaped unharmed.

>>>>>>>

"... Thank you, again..." 

"You are welcome, young Master."

The flight had been silent since their escape.

"Young Master?"

"What?"

"I heard a crash inside that building..."

"Some orb landed on my head... and it still hurts."

"You haven't complained."

"Eh... Gone through worse."

"Haven't we all, young Master? What did you see in there? Did you find what you were looking for?"

Siprn sighed, "Not really... They have this freaky equipment in there and shelves of glowing orbs. I'm sure you saw them all when you rescued me the first time..."

"I believe I did... What are your assumptions?"

"I don't want to talk about it..."

"Understandable... Do you think you can still teleport, young Master?"

Spirn looked Simeon in the eye with a semi-shocked look. "How-?"

"I've watched you. I know you can teleport, and I assumed that's the power they stole from you. Try it again. We're close to the forest now."

Spirn held his breath and tried teleporting.. and he appeared in the forest with Simeon nearby.

"Home."

Simeon just smiled and flew into a tree. The sun was setting...

>>>>>>>

"STRAP HIM DOWN!"

"NO! WAIT! I'M ONE OF YOU! I DIDN'T VOLUNTEER!

"Face it... you're the perfect test subject, Avaenjis. No living relatives, no one to care about you if it all goes wrong... heck, you're not even a citizen in this country."

"But I work here! I don't even have any powers or-"

"Shut him up."

"We can't anethetize the subject, sir. We need him fully conscious for this experiment."

"Very well... proceed."

"Insert the IV's and get the lithium solution!"

"Yessir." *the sound of people scrambling about*

*Hands were cutting into his clothing and sharp needles were inserted into his skin*

"Electrodes are in place. Heartbeat is stable and slowly accellerating."

"Begin intravenous injection of the lithium serum."

"Yes, sir."

"Heart rate is accellerating, sir. Neural electrodes indicate slight discomfort in the metaphalangeal extremities."

"Increase dose."

"Increasing."

"Agh!"

"Breathing is becoming labored, sir. Heart rate has jumped by 25%. Mucsles tensing. Body temperature rising."

"Not enough. Inject more."

"Yes, sir."

"No more... please... AAAAAGHH!"

"Sir. Noticing some physical changes here... Fur is growing, and there is some change in the bone structure."

"Heart rate is still accellerating. Body temp almost at 105 degrees."

"Sir... Subject is undergoing incredible physical stress. Shall we abort?"

"... No."

"Sir... He's pulling at his restraints and his screaming..."

"... continue."

"Increasing dosage."

"Sir... new appendages are growing from the back..."

"The restraints... sir!"

"RRRRAAAAAAAAGH!!!"

*SNAP!*

*Scientists screaming*

"ROOOOAAAR!"

"Get the restraining collar! STAT!"

"Perfect."

"Sir? You call this perfect?!"

"Look at his eyes... Not a trace of sentience... He'll obey anyone with the proper training..."

"ROOAR!" *slamming up against the viewing window.*

"Tranq him and make sure that collar's on tight.... what the?"

*crash!*

"ROAR!"

"K'so! He broke several orbs, sir... now he'll be even more dangerous..."

"Even better."

"ROAR!"

"Shoot it!"

"ROA-"

>>>>>>>

"AGH!" Simeon awoke half-sumberged in a lake. He sat up and shook the water out of his fur and feathers. "Where... where did that dream come from? Am I an Elemental? Or the product of some lab?"

The moon was full overhead. Simeon looked up and gazed at the midnight sky.

"What of the others? Most of them are no older than 25... They might have been born in a lab, then adopted... no... not all of them... but that might explain why even their own families rejected them..." 

Simeon looked at his paws, "What defines an Elemental? ... and if I was some lab monster... what was my purpose?"

"Well this is boring..." Silver complained, his hands still on fire.

"I'm outta here."

"I don't have any reason to stay, either."

"Aw come on! Ah, might as well go see what that Spirn guy's doing... Spirn. What a weird name." He ran off as fast as he could, which was pretty darned fast, easily searching pretty much the whole forest in little time. "Doesn't look like he's here... aw fudge crackers, don't tell me he was stupid enough to go into... the city! I REALLY shouldn't but... aw heck, I'm freaken bored! What can those stupid... humans do to me, anyway?" he said to himself nervously. As he entered the city, memories of his escape filled his head... *0|\/|6 F145|-|B4CK!!1* (...Too bad I hafta go now and can't type it out...)

*Trik Stood a top the largest building in the city. This city always seemed to attract many visitors... freaks and the non... He crossed his arms and smirked.*

It's time the "Freaks" Got the revenge they so deserve...

*He let out an evil laugh and held one of his hands straight into the air. He starts spinning his arms around, as dark clouds filled the sky. The clouds were darker than the normal storm clouds... Trik looked up... and his eyes suddenly closed...*

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Trik woke up in a dark alleyway, one less traveled. He stood up and looked around. This was just a boy of 13. He looked around his surroundings and moved towards the dumpster. Trik had always had his powers, and at age 10 he could finally control them. When he was just a homeless boy, there wasn't much else to do. He looked to his right, and noticed cops coming into the Alleyway. He had been found. He would have ran, but it was no use. The alleyway was a dead end. The cops knocked the boy out cold.*

*Trik woke up in a lab, strapped down to a table. Looking around, he saw all sorts of devices aimed at the young boy. He tried to shock the locks, but it was no use. The locks had Rubber Insolation, making the attempts useless. Scientists walked into the room, dressed in all white, face masks, goggles, everything. Trik just watched as they conversed, not able to hear anything. They made their way to the machine controls. They flipped a switch, and Trik blacked out once again.*

*Trik woke up, noticing that he was standing... He looked around, There were corpses everywhere. All burnt. Lightning burns. He looked at his hands and back against a wall. He turned around and noticed a mirror. His eyes and hair were now black. The machine must have unleashed a dark spirit in Trik. The spirit seemed to have lay hidden... for awhile...*

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Since then, the evil spirit would take control now and then. More recent, though, the spirit seems to have taken the body permanently.*

*As soon as the Clouds completely covered the town, Trik raised his hands.*

This Storm should teach the "Non-Freaks" to mind their own business, and leave us Talented individuals alone...

(Anyone else feel like this is an episode of Lost? We do a little thing, then we revisit each person's Past History.)

*0|\/|6 F145|-|B4CK!!1*

A young boy, proabbly around seven or eight years of age, was climbing a tree. He kept falling down, but did he care? Eventually he reached his destination- a branch nearly 30 feet off the ground- and looked around at the city, specifically what was going on right below him. Two kids, probably about his age, were throwing rocks at another kid. The boy in the tree - Silver - jumped down and landed flat on his face. Yeah, that's pretty much his trademark by now. Honestly, I don't know why he keeps climbing trees. It happens every time. He pulled himself up and said "Hey, throwing rocks at people isn't nice." "This isn't a person, this is a freak!" The first kid replied after kicking the 'freak' kid and making her fall down. "Yeah, she shot these evil black glowy things at us!" the second kid chimed in. "But I didn't throw them at you!" the 'freak' cried. "That doesn't make it right!" Silver shouted back, his hands lighting on fire. "WE still have feelings, bullies!" "He's one of them, too! Hurry up and call your daddy before they attack!" The first kid commanded the second. In no time at all, the second kid's daddy arrived... in a cop car. The second kid told him a whole made-up story about Silver and the girl trying to kill them, and showed a scrape on his knee that had been there for days. The two elemental children ran for their lives, knowing that the cop would never listen to the truth. Silver, with his incredible speed, made it safely into the forest, but the girl wasn't quite as fast as a police car. She was captured and can be assumed (ASS-U-ME...d. Huh, maybe I can use that later on...) dead. */F145|-|B4CK*

Silver struggled to earase the memory from his mind, but the words 'This isn't a person, this is a freak' inflicted a worse burn than he ever could. He looked up at the sky. A storm was brewing. Though he knew it was probably the work of one of his fellow 'freaks', it was still extremely cliched. He already had a bad feeling about going in, the typical rainstorm only made it worse.

"Who are you" asked Spirn
"that is not important now" replied the shadowed figuer
"Where am I" asked Sprin
"you ask alot of questions, kid" replied the shadow
"I'm sorry I have to go" said Spirn
"No you don't, stay here, I could teach you how to enhance your powers, together we could destroy the world, this is your destiny" said the shadow
"No! That's not true! That can't be true!"

*Spirn woke up*

"Oh! I'm glad that was just a dream, I mean it would be different if I could dream the future but.... Yeah" said Spirn running out of things to say. "I better go see if those other guys went looking for me" said Spirn remembering Silver and Trik. Spirn Traveled to the city without Simeon noticing. When he reached the city he saw a storm wqas brewing. "Silver! Trik!"

Post by **Silver** » Wed Apr 13, 2005 7:43 pm

"Woah! There you are! Wait, how did you...? never mind. At least I don't have to go in there looking for you. With all those stupid humans I wouldn't last long anyway..."

((OMG MESSAGE FROM OPAL!!1))

"I'm outta here." And with that, Opal was outta there. She flew over the buildings, trying to find one she could call home for tonight, for tomorrow she would find her real one. Holding her locket, she set foot in an abadon werehouse. Going inside, sounds of mice were heard, but ignoring them to huddle under some newspaper and sleeping. Only to be awaken some hours later "I found a source of energy in here." One voice said. Scared, Opal held her breath, she knew it was them. Not moving, she waited till they were closer, and BOOM! Froze them in a sec "Heh, have fun trying to catch me." She gloated as she ran off, insearch of who knows what.

"I was saved by this guy called Simeon" said Spirn.
"So what's happening" asked Spirn. Suddenly a bolt of lightning from the storm hit Spirn. "I've been knocked out too much today" thought Spirn passing out

"Who are you" asked Spirn
"that is not important now" replied the shadowed figuer
"Where am I" asked Sprin
"you ask alot of questions, kid" replied the shadow
"I'm sorry I have to go" said Spirn
"No you don't, stay here, I could teach you how to enhance your powers, together we could destroy the world, this is your destiny" said the shadow
"No! That's not true! That can't be true!"
"yes but it is" said the shadow menacingly
"No! I will never destroy this place" yelled Spirn
"foolish boy, I hold the pure element of Darkness so you stand no chance" said the shadow releasing balls of darkness and sending them towards Spirn

*Spirn woke up*

"Oh! great, that dream again" said Spirn "Somethings telling me this had something to do with that power orb thing"

The wind whipped through Simeon's damp fur. A sense of overwhelming dread filled him as the sky overhead began to darken.

<Father... Father... Watch over your children... Wayward son... Try to awake... Lest the rains wash your soul away...>

A far away voice in Simeon's memory chanted these words, sending chills into his being.

Simeon concentrated. This was a skill he'd been practicing for a while and he knew it would one day come in handy... In an instant, Simeon's spear appeared in his hand. "Just a little more practice..."

The forboding feeling kept nagging at Simeon. Something was totally wrong... In an instant, Simeon vanished form the lakeshore.

Simeon had not told Spirn that he had copied Spirn's teleport ability, and it was a good thing Simeon did. In the blink of an eye, Simeon found himself high in the atmosphere, able to see many things for miles and miles. Invisibly and silently, Simeon flew and teleported toward the city; he could sense the darkness increasing and two elementals were in the metropolis... Simeon could sense Spirn teleporting his way towards the city... Perhaps he, too sensed the growing shadow...

<Father... Father... Watch over your children... Wayward son... Try to awake... Lest the rains wash your soul away...>

Another voice cut into the chant in Simeon's mind.

This Storm should teach the "Non-Freaks" to mind their own business, and leave us Talented individuals alone...

<Father... Father... Watch over your children... Wayward son... Try to awake... Lest the rains wash your soul away...>

"TRIK." Simeon roared, dropping his invisiblity in front of the electrokinetic.

"Well... if it isn't the fabled Father Simeon..."

Rain started falling in sheets and the winds picked up.

"What are you doing, Trik?"

"Teaching these humans a lesson. They are supposed to leave us alone. Now leave ME alone, old man!"

Trik loosed a bolt of electricity at Simeon... but Simeon absorbed it and shot it back. Trik backflipped out of the way.

"Nice trick... when did you get that?"

"That is beside the point of why I'm here, Trik. Elementals aren't supposed to trifle with humans either... By acting as you are now, we will be just as guilty as those who oppress us."

"True... but I'm sick of being pushed around, old man... Now shut up and let me teach the non-freaks a lesson!"

Trik started glowing and a bolt of lighting crashed into the street below, scorching the pavement and scattering the crowd.

Simeon did a flying tackle and slammed Trik into the next building. "There are innocents down there!"

"Human filth! All of them! They are ALL GUILTY!"

"Not all of them are human! There are other Elementals you might be harming, too!"

"All of them casualties of war!" Trik summoned another thunderbolt, "NOW STOP INTERFERING, OLD MAN!"

The next bolt struck Simeon hard... and the winged lion fell...

<Father... Father... Watch over your children... Wayward son... Try to awake... Lest the rains wash your soul away...>

Simeon regained consciousness just before hitting the ground, the chant echoing in his head again.

Simeon soon found himself chanting this under his breath as he flew up. Holy rage and duty had filled him to the core.

"Wayward son, try to awake lest the rains wash your soul away!"

"What the-?! You survived?! I'll fix you..."

"You're not like this, boy!"

"Shut UP! Who's side are you on anyways, 'Father Simeon?!'"

"The side of life." Simeon lunged and managed to copy Trik's powers, "Now two can play your game... And I'll fight until your dark spirit slumbers!"

"It's your funeral, old man..." Trik charged up and attacked.

"Well, Trik certainly got powerful over small time period" said Spirn to himself "But I will stop him, I sensed something was wrong with him" . Spirn walked up to Simeon "I want to help you" said Spirn, he then turned to Trik "Trik why are you like this" Spirn asked
"It's just like you said, they took the fight to us" said trik as he shot a bolt of lightning at Spirn. Then Spirn disappeared
"Arrrgghhh" Yelled Trik, "Stop doing that"
"OK" said Spirn. He raised his hands and behide him energy gathered into the shape of a dragon.
"I'll use my life force to kill you!" said Spirn
"Hey! Stay out of this Spirn" said Trik "this is between Simeon and me"
"listen to him master Spirn, you can't sacrifice yourself" said Simeon
"I can and I will, That's my right" said Spirn as the Dragon was charging up. As this happened Spirn was getting closer to death.

*He laughs and crosses his arms in an X fashion.*

"This is no longer worth my time... i've got bigger fish to fry..."

*He spread his hands out wide. A lightning bolt struck where he stood, and was gone. Another lightning bolt struck, right beside a small child. The child was bouncing his ball. The child looked up to Trik and did an innocent smile.*

Hello mister... would you like to play ball with me...?

No... i have a much... better... game... we can play...

*Trik thrust his hands forward as there was a blinding flash. The only thing left in the area where Trik was... a small Blue and White Bouncing Ball...*

"I don't believe he just walked away" said Spirn retrieving his life force "I better remember to do that to him later.
Suddenly somemore guards from the building
"Hi! kid, give use the orbs power back" said the guard
"what! That's my power of teleportation" replied Spirn
"No, we never took your power of teleportation, now give us the power" said the guard oncemore
"What, I never got another power, you get away from me" said Spirn
"I'm sorry we had to resort to this" said the guard as he pointed a gun at him
"I said I didn't get any other power" repeated Spirn
"the security camera has you bumping the shelf and the orb smashing on your head, now that's proof enough" said the Guard as he pulled the trigger.

Simeon pushed Spirn out of the way and took the bullet.

"SIMEON!"

Simeon staggered around a little. "Master... Spirn... run..." And teleported away.

"We'll find that S.O.B. later. We got him square in the chest and he won't get away very far. Lets worry about the kid first."

"Simeon..." Spirn growled, "Try and find me, you knuckleheads." Spirn teleported away.

"Damnit. The boss isn't gonna like this..."

>>>>>>>

Spirn teleported, many times. He was hoping to find Simeon before the guards found him.

Soon, Spirn found Simeon's motionless form laying in a dark alley... bleeding.

"Simeon? Simeon?" Could he be dead?

"Mrrrr...." Simeon rolled over and covered the wound, "Master Spirn... I told you to run..."

"And I did..." Spirn saw the bullet on the pavement.

"Don't be surprised, Master Spirn... I'm wearing a Bullet-proof Kevlar vest... the shot was close enough to draw blood and shock me unconscious.. but not enough to kill me..."

"How did you teleport away?"

"I copied your abilities... It's not permanent. The effect lasts only a few days." Simeon grimaced and applied pressure to the wound.

"Here.. let me fix that.." Spirn waved his hand and the wound healed.

"Thank you..." Simeon breathed and he slowly stood up. He summoned his spear and leaned on it. "We need to track Trik down before he kills someone..."

"How are you so sure he hasn't already?"

"I just know... Plus, Trik has a hostage... no doubt he's buying time or picking up a barganing chip..."

"... Or he's the one responsible for stealing the orbs..."

Simeon nodded, "It is a possiblity but I doubt it was him... people these days jump to conclusions too soon... Now let's go before were both caught..."

"There they are" yelled the guards "get them" Spirn drew out an energy ball and shot it at the guards.

"Ha, I got ya, now go away" teased Spirn

"I'm sorry we had to resort to this kid" said one of the guards. The guard took an orb out of his pocket.

"Well I wonder what that does" thought Spirn

"Well you will find out now" said the guard. As he opened the orb the glow inside of it shot right at the guard.

"What was your plan, suicide" mocked Spirn as he blasted energy at the guard

The guard laughed as he dodged the shot and held his hand out at them. "now I have a power" said the guard as violent waters came from his hand and hit them knocking them out.

"So that's how you steal the powers" said Spirn. "Well you'll never find me, quick Simeon grab my hand"

*Simeon grabed his hand* "Now time to go" said Spirn as he teleported them both out of there.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"OK Simeon now let's heal that wound" said Spirn as a light came from Spirn's hand and went to where th woud was.

"Master Spirn, we have to find Trik before he causes more trouble" said Simeon

"That's easy, he's right there" said Spirn as he pointed to Trik

"So you have returned, do you still wanna do a Kamikasi on me" mocked Trik

"That's it" said Spirn "now it's personal". Spirn released his energy in the form of a sword. "Now, who did you say can't control his powers" said Spirn as he slashed the blade at Trik

"That won't stop me" whispered Trik to himself as he dodged the blade and electricuted Spirn.

"Hey Silver a little help over here!" Yelled Spirn spotting Silver.

(hey I was surprised that we just left him on the streets)
