Wartime Reverie

"Now I am." Allen took the bottle and drank. "What's going to happen to Raxtion? And did Crato survive?"

 

Music:

Legion stood up for a second and walked over to a book case. There he grabbed a book and brought it back over to Allen. Legion opened it to a certain page, and once he got to it, Allen could see a solid picture of Raxtion's movements after the battle. "Raxtion is forced to encase himself in a pod that will keep him alive, but unconscience until someone gets him out of it." explained Legion. Then the image turned to Crato. From the images he had managed to find his way back to the Black Comet. "Thanks to your efforts, the Black Comet has been rendered completely useless. However, Crato is still alive. We will prepare to fight him again. And when he does come to your planet, which he will do, you will be ready to fight him." Legion then closed the book and put it back on it's shelf. "They are both doomed to drift in outer space, and no, before you ask, there is nothing we can do for or to either of them. However, I know already that their trajectory is your world. They will be here soon. Raxtion first, then Crato. You will be prepared the next time we see him."

 

"Okay, that's a satisfying answer." Allen was surprised to get a satisfying answer from Legion. "I'd like a rematch with Crato, and I'd like to see Raxtion again, maybe I'd even like to introduce him to Jen." Allen thought about Alicia. "What should I do now?"

 

"Huh..." Legion really hadn't thought about that. After everything that had happened... "Well, I don't know about you, but this whole ordeal gave me a massive headache, I'm going to go take some Motrin and go sit down. I guess you can go meet up with Phisoxa and the others, if you wish." Legion flicked his fingers and the gate changed colors.

 

As Raxtion floated in the pod Torxber appeared next to it, he placed a hand on the pod as he looked up at the ships entering the dimension "There are too many, we cannot risk it" he said, as if talking to someone "Besides, I will not leave him at their mercy" he added as the space around him and the pod changed until they were over Earth. "Goodbye friend, this is your new home now, too bad we will never truly meet again" Torxber said as he vanished, the pod was left in orbit, slowly approaching the planet.

 

"I think it's about time I joined the others, before I end up too far out of the loop." Allen looked down at his shirt, it had a massive hole where Crato had stabbed him. "I should probably get some new clothes first though. Do you have anything like this-" he held up his shirt and vest- "that I could wear?"

 

Legion looked at Allen for a couple seconds before saying "This is a library! Not a clothing store!" Legion then began to walk away before he snapped his fingers and the clothing was fixed immediatly. "Now go catch up with them, I have to worry about that gapping hole in the universe and all those ships now. You keep your eye on Earth and I'll keep my eye on space for now, okay?"

 

"Sounds like a plan." Allen walked over to the door and stepped through.

He had the same spinning, falling sensation as before.

This time when he came to he was laying on a bed, or more accurately, a cot. He looked around and saw that he was in some kind of barracks. He guessed he probably wasn't supposed to be here and immediately started looking for a door. After less than a minute he found one and headed out into a hall. Determined to find Phisoxa and Shero he started walking around and searching for where they might be. He walked down several halls and through multiple doors, never really knowing whether he was allowed to go wherever he happened to be.

 

Legion scoured the library for motrin, but unfortuantly, could not find anything other than books. Legion realized something "Oh my god! I bet the motrin is in the bathroom!" then Legion realized that he didn't have a bathroom... ONLY A LIBRARY! Legion's headache was killing him and he needed pain relievers fast. Legion opened a book that allowed him to view the multiple universes. He looked for one that would allow him to conviently get access to the pain relievers he needed. Then, he found what he was looking for. "Ah ha!" Legion exlaimed as he snapped his fingers. The portal changed to another color and Legion went through it.

Legion then flew right out of Ansem59's computer and into his kitchen "Dude, what's up?"

Ansem59 was shocked by the sudden appearence of Legion "How... what... how did you do that?!"

"Dude, I leap through dimensions every day, why would yours be different." said Legion, explaining himself to Ansem59 "Besides, my head is killing me... You got some Motrin?"

Ansem was too shocked for words... He could only reply to Legion's question. "No..." said Ansem, as he still tried to wrap his head around what had happened. "Legion, you are not supposed to break the fourth wall, and here in a single bound, you've completely obliterated it!"

"LOL, I know, right?" said Legion laughing at his own actions. "But c'mon, where can I get some Motrin from?"

Ansem just decided to screw all logic and just answer Legion's inquiries. "Well, there is a walgreens just up the road."

"Great!" Legion exclaimed. "Can you take me there?"

"You can't teleport?" asked Ansem, confused at why he needed help.

"Nope, c'mon, let's go." Legion gave Ansem a short answer, which made Ansem suspicious of what he really wanted.

"Just... *sigh* just here..." Ansem handed Legion his keys "Just take my car and go get your motrin."

Legion stared at the keys for a moment before laughing out loud. "I can't drive!"

"What?" Ansem exlaimed in shock. "Why not?! You are an all powerful, all knowing being, how could you not possibly know how to drive?!"

"Never interested me." said Legion in the short response manner.

Ansem pinched his nose with his two fingers... What was he thinking including this character into the Wartime thread. Legion was completely useless at times! "FINE!" Ansem said holding the keys and rushing out the door. "Lets go get your stupid motrin!"

"That's the spirit!" said Legion, following him out.

Ansem opened the garage door and went out to his car. He unlocked the doors for him and Legion to get in. Legion looked around the car "Jeez, could you make a bigger mess?!" Legion asked in a sarcastic manner.

"Shut up." said Ansem as he started the car and began driving towards Walgreens.

During the drive the two of them were mostly silent. With Legion attempting to start conversations only to have them ended by Ansem's angry short responses.

"Soooo...." Legion started "Uh, how about that Allen?"

"Yeah, he's a good guy." Ansem responded.

"Yeah, he's pretty tough..." said Legion.

"Yeah." Ansem simply stated. Not going into detail.

Legion then started another topic "So, uh... what's Riku1186 like?"

"Oh, he's cool. Extremely creative... Can be a real jerk sometimes though." Ansem replied.

Legion nodded his head at the new information. "How about Love?"

"She's nice..." Ansem said. Again not giving too much information to keep the conversation dull. He really didn't feel like talking to a fictional character.

"Ah..." Legion then moved onto another topic. "Mixt?"

"Oh, uh... yeah, he's a squirrel." said Ansem.

The car was silent for a bit.

"Oh..." Legion simply said, attempting to realize how that was possible. The information just seemed to be too... unrealistic. "Uh, Ansem, isn't your world suposed to be the one that doesn't have wierd stuff happening?"

Ansem looked at him for a brief moment before he turned his eye's back onto the road "Dude, I've seen so much weird stuff that anything is possible at this point."

The two pulled up to Walgreens. They both got out of Ansem's car and went in.

Legion followed Ansem, as he seemed to know where he was going.

Ansem immediatly went to the pain relievers section and grabbed out the Motrin. "Okay, got it, lets go."

Legion nodded and followed him.

The two went to the front where the register was located. There were two people infront of them. One paying for their stuff and the other waiting in line.

"So, hey, Ansem. You got this right?" asked Legion

Ansem looked at him with shock. "What?! I'm paying for this now?! You are the one who disturbed me for this stupid thing, and now I'm paying for it?!"

"Dude, I'm a fictional character, what do you want? I don't have that kind of dough." explained Legion

"You maybe a fictional character, Legion, but you are practically a demi-god! You can do almost anything! Hell, you coming into my world is about as crazy as you can get with powers like yours!" reasoned Ansem.

"Yeah, well, that doesn't mean I can create money!" Legion fought back. "I can't do anything I want whenever I want it."

The line moved up with only one person in front of them, and he was paying.

"Yes, Legion! Yes it does! Create money so you can pay for it, cause unlike you, I can't create money!" Ansem pleaded, attempting to get Legion to budge on the topic.

Legion began to think about it. "Well..." suddenly, Legion's thoughts were interupted because the man who had been infront them paying was now yelling at the girl at the cash register.

"I am going to get you fired! This is horrible service! I'm going to look for your manager right now!" yelled the man as he began to leave the counter.

The woman behind the counter yelled "Wait sir!" The man came back a bit, and she then pleaded with him "Please sir, we can sort this all out, just don't get my manager. I'll get fired if I screw up one more time. Please sir I have kids I have to feed." The woman's eye's were almost bursting with tears.

The man then replied with agression "Well, you should have thought about that before you started acting like I didn't know what I was talking about! I hope you become poor because you deserve it you litte bi-" suddenly the man's sentence was cut off as Legion extended his hand at the man. Legion then manipulated the area around the man and forced it to shatter and break, creating a hole. The man flew into that hole and it transported him into another dimension entirely. The hole then closed up. A moment of silence occured as Ansem and the girl thought about the horrible thing they had just witnessed. The silence was broken however, when Legion exlaimed "Wow, that guy was a complete a**hole."

Ansem and the girl still remained shocked and silent.

Legion pulled the Motrin from Ansem's hand and handed it to the girl for her to ring up. "You're right, Ansem. I can just make my own money. I won't bother you for it."

The girl quietly rang up the Motrin without really thinking about it. "5.99, sir." she said in an almost monotone voice. She was so horrified that she had just shut down most of her processing and just stuck to routines.

Legion pulled out some gold coins that looked brand new, but had to be thousends of years old.

The girl looked at the coins "Uh... U.S. currency only sir."

Legion looked at the coins and facepalmed himself "Oh yeah, right!" Legion laughed at himself. He put the coins back in his pocket and pulled out six dollars.

She took the six dollars, put it in the cash register and then pulled out a penny, to which Legion said "Keep the change." Legion then began to leave when he looked back and saw Ansem in the same shocked position he was before. "You coming man?"

Ansem started to shake out of it as he began to walk towards the exit. He looked at the girl and they traded looks of horror.

Ansem and Legion got into Ansem's car.

Ansem started up the car and pulled out of the parking lot.

The car ride back was more silent than the car ride to Walgreens.

"So... how about them mets?" Legion asked.

"You killed a man..." said Ansem with fear clearly in his voice.

"Woah, what? I killed a man? When?" asked Legion, genuinly confused.

"Back there... at Walgreens... Just because he was being mean to that girl?" Ansem just desperately tried to grasp the situation.


"What? No I didn't." stated Legion which gave Ansem some hope left. "I just sent him to another dimension from which he will never return."

Ansem then felt sick. "So you have doomed a man to an existance of pain and misery...?"

"Yeah, LOL." Legion simply said. Legion then noticed the horror written on Ansem's face. "What? He was an a**hole! He deserved it!"

"Hey! I didn't write you to act that way! You are supposed to be a good guy keeping balance!" said Ansem

Legion laughed "That reminds me, after I'm done with wartime, I have to come back to this universe and go on a killing spree, you've got so many bad people over here!"

Ansem just didn't talk. He was simply scared sh** less...

They both arrived at Ansem's house and both went inside to the kitchen area.

"Okay, you got your Motrin, now get back in there!" Ansem yelled as he pointed at his computer.

"Why do I have to listen to you?" asked Legion.

Ansem was shocked by Legion's insubordination "Why? Because I created you, that's why!"

"No you didn't..." Legion simply said, and he was right. Ansem did not create Legion and Ansem knew it.

"Okay, so I didn't create you... but I am the only reason you are back! And I demand some respect!" complained Ansem as he slammed his fist into the kitchen counter.

"That's right, you brought me back so I could join another war! What is your problem? Maybe I was enjoying my time off! Did you ever think of that?" asked Legion, fruriously "Huh?! Did you?!"

"Oh... um well... no..." said the shocked Ansem, but then he tried to change the topic to get Legion back in the RP. "Yeah, well your job is easy! You don't even fight anyone! You just look up information!"

"Yeah, and all through reading! And the print isn't even large enough! I can barely read most of that stuff! You couldn't give me a kick a** crystal ball or anything like that, I just get a massive Library with nothing! Not even a bathroom! Do you know when the last time I took a shower was? HUH?!"

"Uh..." Ansem was about to say something but then Legion cut him off.

"NO! This time you are going back and I'm going to make you take my place for a day and we'll see how you like it!" Legion flicked his fingers and Ansem appeared in Legion's library.

Ansem looked around and noticed the glass ceiling with the view of the universe. He then screamed out "FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"

Legion cracked his knuckles as he got ready to type on Ansem's keyboard. "Now we'll see how you like being told what to do..."

 

Phisoxa began eating when the food was brought to her but she really didn't eat as much as she should have, her mind was alive with so many worries that were now distracting her from doing anything properly." I wonder what I'm going to do when I first get to Janina..."

 

Allen walked through another door-into what looked like a women's restroom. He backed out of the door he had come in through almost immediately. "Okay, who doesn't label a public bathroom?" He said this out loud out of annoyance. He walked into another door nearby and found himself in the men's room. "Better, but I'm still not getting anywhere."

He was about to head back out into the hall when he heard someone outside. He was unsure of the circumstances surrounding the others and whether he was aloud to be...wherever he was -he really didn't know-so he hid in a stall. While he was hiding he noticed an air duct and decided it might be safer to get around from inside it. After the other man left he climbed on top of the toilet so that he could reach the duct.

With a little bit of time and effort, he removed the vent cover. He pulled himself into the air duct and started crawling, hoping he might find Phisoxa and Shero. Or, at the very least, that he might learn what kind of situation he had teleported into.

 

Hours later the airship stopped at the Janina boarder, the soldier sent the students down to the hanger and onto a transport to take across the boarder.

 

Nny looked around at the other students. Most of them seemed relieved to be finally leaving the airship. Even though the soldiers had been kind and courteous, everyone felt uncomfortable about the Eclision's helping them. Nny personally didn't care about alliances, but he was smart enough to know what was on everyone else's mind.

Dr. Traken kept the students together, making sure he would not leave until all of the students had been gathered. He almost acted like their chaperone of sorts. He was constantly watching them to make sure they were paying attention. However, his job was relatively easy... the students were so shocked still by the events that they didn't speak or get out of order. They followed and obeyed the rules intently.

 

" So this is it... Janina.. I've actually only been here once thats when I was really young." Phisoxa said as Shero rose a brow as they followed the other students. " You are a citizen of Janina yet you've hardly been there?" Shero asked as Phsoxa smiled. " Correct."

 

Allen woke to the sound of Phisoxa and Shero's voices. He realized then that he had fallen asleep under the cardboard box he was hiding in.

Before he had fallen asleep he had discovered that he was on some kind of military transport ship, from Eclipscion, and that it was headed towards Janina. He didn't know for sure why troops from the dark empire were headed towards Janina, but he feared they might be an invasion force. He didn't know anything for sure though, and wanted to ask Phisoxa because he assumed she would know what was going on better than him.

Now that he had finally found her he moved his box as quickly and stealthily as he could towards her. Within less than a minute he bumped into one of the Eclipscion soldiers helping direct the students. He immediately dropped the box and did his best to hide, despite having obviously just alerted the soldier to his presence. He hoped the soldier would be stupid enough to fall for the trick anyway though. But just in case he began planning what he would do if the soldier did check under the box.

 

The guard alerted two other guards that kept their distance but aimed their high powered rifles at the box as he lifted the box up. As soon as they saw Allen they started shouting at him not to move as another raised the alarm. Within seconds about ten guards surrounded Allen as alarm blared threw the ship.

 

Legion had already sent Ansem back to his own world when he decided to check up on Allen. Legion had grown quite fond of the boy and had hoped he reached his destination safely. Legion, however, was surprised to see that Allen had been hiding under a cardboard box, but had then been discovered by the Eclipscion soldier. Then many other soldiers were alerted and then proceeded to surround Allen.

Legion watched it all unfold. In some misplaced thought of hope, he attempted to call out "ALLEN?! ALLEN?!?! AAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

 

Allen stood up and raised his hands over his head. "Now, now guys there's no need for violence." He spoke as calmly as he could while planning an escape. "After all, these odds hardly seem fair. Let's see there's," he stopped talking to count the guards, "there's ten of you and one of me." He shook his head. On the inside he was jut short of panicking, but he didn't show it. "Not fair at all. You'd need at least a hundred more guys to take me down." He heard Legion shouting in his mind, and suddenly thought of the words "fission mailed" for some reason. "But I'm sure there's a perfectly logical explanation as to why you're threatening me with military grade firearms. And rest assured, I forgive you. That said I'm in kind of a hurry so, now that we've got this little mess sorted out, I really need to go. 'Kay?"

 

One of the guards whacked Allen across the back of the head as the remaining students were lead onto the transport and taken to Janina.

 

Allen fell to the ground and rubbed the back of his head. "Alright, you asked for it." He flashed a bright light above his head to blind the guards. He swept one's legs out from under him and took his rifle. He ran off in the direction he had heard Phisoxa and Shero's voices go. As he ran he studied the rifle. He found the trigger and started shooting at the walls, floor, and ceiling, around him as he ran--hoping to hit something that would cause the guards to be unable to catch him--and setting off flashes of light every few seconds so they couldn't target him with their weapons. His only goals being to find Phisoxa and Shero, and then to hide.
