Wartime Reverie

" alright... make sure you take good care of him alright..." Phisoxa said as she ran grabbed Shero by her hand and ran through the door. She went through a vortex of some sort that brought her through space and time and soon they arrived, falling right out of the sky. Phisoxa winded up falling right on Mixt and Shero landed in a comfortable spot in the flowers.

 

"Well, I don't plan on dying out here" Mixt said he got to his feet. "Let's get moving, we need to get to a town." Mixt said as he looked up at stars, determining which direction was North. Though he figured not much progress would actually be made tonight, as they would need to find food and a shelter, he at least wanted to have a plan.

 

Allen stretched as he got up. "Well, that was refreshing. Real comfortable chair too, I can see why you sleep in it. Next time though, feel free to just ask me to lie down." He looked around. "Wait, did they leave without me?"

 

Nny didn't like that Mixt was suddenly putting himself in charge, but he accepted it for now. Nny motioned for the remaining students to come over and not make themselves scarce as they were with Mixt. "Fine. You better not try anything, though, Mixt. I am going to be watching you very carefully."

Nny noticed the two girls appear from nowhere and was shocked. Where did they come from? Nny asked himself. Phisoxa fell on Mixt and Nny noticed Shero fell down nearby. Nny walked over to Shero and extended his hand to help her up without saying a word.

Legion looked at him... "Dude, you have been asleep for like two minutes." Legion looked at the clothe and then poured more Chloroform onto it. He then teleported behind Allen and smothered him again.

 

Mixt's train of though was interrupted by the sudden appearance of something above him. Before he could figure out what it was Phisoxa landed on top of him knocking him back down to his original position. "Where did you just come from?" Mixt ask as he pushed her off so he could get up. Brushing himself off he sighed, Now being able to think about what Nny said. He hadn't really wanted to be leader, though it was probably better than going alone or trusting any of the rest of them to do it.

 

Phisoxa quickly scooted away , looking annoyed that she had landed on him of all people. " Where the hell am I? what happened to the school.. whats with the flowers..." Phisoxa said as she crawled through the flowers and found her school bag laying between the stems of the flowers. The book had fallen out and was laying open amongst the flowers, it's pages glowing still. Phisoxa panicked and ran over to the book and closed it quickly, stuffing it back inside of her bag so nobody could see." That was close..." Meanwhile with Nny's help Shero pulled herself up off the ground. " Hey its you from the library... I can't believe you survived..." Shero said looking surprised.

 

"Well... it's not that hard to believe." said Nny, beginning to gloat himself, but then he stopped. "But uh... I see you survived as well. I'm glad to see that. How did you make it out of there? You don't seem to have been saved in the same manner as the rest of the group."

 

Allen fell unconscious again. Then woke up after another couple of minutes. "You don't know much about chloroform do you? It has to be continually applied or it only lasts a couple of minutes, and continual application can have deadly side effects. That said I'm not complaining about being tired anymore, so you really don't have any reason to use it on me. And if you do knock me out again I'll kick you in your testicles after I wake up. Now I'll ask again, did they leave without me?"

 

"Yes, of course they did. Why would they bring a sleeping person? Besides, I thought you wanted to go through my library." said Legion. "Oh, and I suggest not threatening me. That could have very bad consequences." Legion then went through his books again. "Now, they have their own issues to deal with. If you want to go with them, you may. I could use some help with my own agenda though."

 

"You don't scare me," said Allen. "Anyway, yeah I did want to look through your library but I wanted to be a part of the adventure too. What do you want my help with? I'll see where I'm most useful and then I'll go there."

 

Above the students an Eclipscion airship silently flew above them, impossible to see in the night sky and its advance engines silent. A small transport flew down to the field and a bunch of Eclipscion soldiers exited the ship and surrounded the students, these weren’t knights, just regular soldiers. An officer left the transport and walked up to the students. “Come aboard we will take you to Janina” he said gesturing to the transport.

 

Nny looked at the airship with shock. A response already? How could anyone have known about the school? Then Nny thought that maybe they were just passing by. Nny still wasn't sure if he should trust them though, sure they didn't seem like they were going to harm anyone. But Janina and Eclipscion had been at each other's necks for years. Even though Nny was thankful for their graciousness, he still couldn't help but wonder about the negative reprecussions.

Dr. Traken had many of the same thoughts, but he gathered the students together and encouraged them all to board the airship. "Come, children. Do not fear, they are here to help us." Dr. Traken then said to the officer "Thank you" as he walked by with his students. Dr. Traken then motioned for Mixt and Nny to come along.

Nny saw this and went onto the airship with the others.

"That's the problem. I should scare you." Legion said. "And I need your help and would greatly appreciate it. I can assure you that Phisoxa and Shero are quite capable of taking care of themselves, and there will be no problems there. No, the real problem is there." Legion pointed up to his ceiling and into the stars. "There is a planet that desperately needs help from someone like yourself. It is not important to what is going on in your own world, but the mission itself will benefit you with knowledge. Are you willing to do such a thing?"

 

Phisoxa deemed the Eclipscion troops to be on a level of untrustworthiness in her eyes and hesitated to board the ship. She turned to Dr. Traken, the only one here she thought would be worth trusting. " Are you sure it's wise to board a enemy ship? Especially after what has just happened to the school...?" Phisoxa whispered to Traken

 

Dr. Traken turned to the girl and quickly responded as to not make things awkward between them and the soldiers. "Yes, we can trust them. I saw some of those things that attacked the academy. They were not apart of the Eclipscions force. Trust me, I know that. They were... something else... Regardless, I know enough to say that whatever those things were, they weren't for anything but themselves. Meaning they are an enemy to not only Janina, but to Eclipscion as well." Dr. Traken then gently pushed her from her back moving her towards the airship.

Nny turned around to look at Shero and then shouted out. "Hey, you coming?"

 

Mixt walked onto the ship without hesitation. He wanted to be happy about the rescue, but at the rate his life seemed to be fluctuating he couldn't take much more of this. He almost died at the last downswing and he did not intend on letting that happen again. He needed more power, and lots of it. The only thing he felt he could really be happy about was that he could now focus on training again rather than staying alive in the middle of nowhere.

 

" I will trust your word, Doctor... " Phisoxa said with a sigh as she walked towards the ship and boarded it. " Can I ask you a question . . . Is the man who tried to murder me earlier... is he really dead?" Phisoxa said to Traken.

" Ohh... sorry, I will be right there !!" Shero called out as she picked up her bag and ran towards the ship.

 

Dr. Traken shook his head and then said "No... the man who killed Master Westus is still alive. He left through a portal before... well, before I found myself here." Dr. Traken seemed to be unsure of the last part, he didn't know how he did end up here in the first place. One second he was watching the horror, ready to test his strength against the creatures, the next he found himself in the field with everyone else.

Nny waited up for Shero before saying "So, you didn't answer my question before, how did you guys escape?" Nny looked at the girl and remembered the kiss from before. Nny would never admit it, not even to himself. But he began to like the girl and desired to kiss her again.

 

Once inside of the ship Shero turned to Nny and seemed a little hesitant to answer his question. " Well I'm not really sure how to put this but during the invasion a man came forth and took Phisoxa, another student, and I to a strange place... it looked like a library ..." Shero said.
" How could he have survived that....? He broke his neck, I heard and saw it happen... yet he got away... His powers are far worse then I remember..." Phisoxa said with a sad sigh as she entered the transport ship and found some parts of it to be similar to a airplane's interior. She sat herself down in one of the passenger chairs next to a window while Shero sat in one of the front rows separate from Phisoxa

 

"Fine." Allen had no doubt that Phisoxa could handle herself -though he wondered about Shero- and if someone else needed his help he couldn't turn them down just so he wouldn't feel left out. "What should I know before I leave to help this planet?"

 

Nny sat next to Shero in the plane. "A library?" Nny's interest instantly stopped, he simply didn't care to hear anymore. It wasn't that he didn't like Library's, no quiet the contrary. But Nny realized that the entire conversation was just going to be him asking questions of things that he would never understand. He decided to change the topic. "So, listen. I'm just glad you are back." said Nny "But I have a question for you. Do you remember what happened in the library?" Nny couldn't seem to get a signal if this girl found him repulsive or liked him. But he figured that this question would answer any doubts.

Dr. Traken sat next to Phisoxa. "I do not know how he could have survived, but there he was, lying there infront of me one minute, I turned around to watch the chaos, then I turned back and he was walking through a portal of his own creation." Dr. Traken shoke his head "He must have been very strong... especially since he killed Master Westus."

Legion smiled "Good. Now I won't bother you with names, let us just say that there is this planet that has been experiencing an unknown threat as of late. And you are perfect for the job. This planet has had a surge of darkness enter. Dark beings have begun appearing in the form of fears and doubts. They have been causing terror on the land. I'm sending you and your gift in controlling the light, to weed out the source of the darkness. Can you do that?"
