Alliance

Night came as Jerome stopped his horse in front of the giant mansion. "Haven't been here in a while." He told himself as he approached the door.

Jerome knocked. His knock echoed through the what seemed to be an empty house. "Anyone in here? It's me…Jerome. There's an enemy that puts us all at risk! I know it's too much for me to ask but…everyone could die."

The door slowly opened as a tall man stepped towards Jerome. "It's been a while, reaper."

"You haven't changed, Jericho."

Xavier sat in front of Silva almost annoyed from all the woman staring at him.

"Silva…are you ready to listen-"

"Not yet. I'm still sipping on wine aren't I?"

Xavier slammed his fist against the table. Soldiers pointed spears at Xavier. "Calm down. This child is no threat to us." Silva reminded everyone.

"Silva…I don't think you understand what's going on! You and I both know that the higher-ups aren't trustworthy! Udo has a theory-"

"Another one!? Let me guess….the sky is falling? Oh, what about a captain meeting!? Don't give me that crap boy. You know he's delusional, just as you are to come up here and try to negotiate with me! Get rid of him at once!"

"Silva….hear me out."

"I said that's enough."

"Your own daughter doesn't even like you…you don't like her either. But, I could see it in your eyes. You were hurt that she didn't want anything to do with you. So stop pretending like your not scared. We're adults here! I'm not a kid anymore." Xavier said in a demanding tone.

"Xavier, right? Not to bring you down or anything but…your weak. No position to talk to me-"

"Why do you think I chose to come up here exactly? This is my first trip after all." Xavier asked.

"Because you need-"

"We don't NED you. There are other powerful warriors we know that'll help us! I chose this clan because I knew it would be dangerous! I know you guys think I'm weak, which is exactly why I chose here! You see, I like danger, hell I mighty even be insane. But I'm not the type of guy to get scared if someone breaks into my house or tried to kill me, no…I like the danger because I am danger." Xavier said as he pulled out his arrow and pointed it at the queen.

"Drop the weapon!"

"Everyone stand down!" Silva screamed. "He doesn't have the balls to-

"Expansion: Shooting Star attack!"

Xavier's arrow glowed gold. As he pulled the arrow back. No all he had to do was release it and shoot the queen.

"It only takes one shot." He whispered in the queens face. "You made the mistake thinking that I'm weak. To be honest, Silva. I could probably…defeat Summer. My whole life people have always called me weak,soft, too kind. I'm here to tell YOU….I'm not the same kid I was four years ago. So watch yourself. Or I'll kill you." Xavier said as he disappeared.

"Shall we go as after him?"

"No. I need time to think about it." Silva said.

"Think? About what? He's accusing the higher-ups and monarchs of the island! We cannot let him-"

"Silence….Stone."

Stone was a decent sized woman. She had a shield made out of stone and she carried a giant sword with symbols.

"I know I'm new to the clan…but…we can't let him disrespect us like that. We're powerful and we need to show it! I guess…your not fit to be queen." Stone said.

Silva and everyone in the room froze. "Are you challenging me?" Silva asked.

"My queen. She's new to the clan! Please reject her request. She has no rights-"

"Rights? Do you know where we are? We're on island x. There are no rights here for us! You just made a man look strong! He need to be punished!" Stone yelled as she stood jumped on top of the table.

"Let's kill him!" Everyone started chanting

*******

Aliyah walked in the jungle of the Leo clan and looked around at her beautiful home. "Took me four years to rebuild everything that man took!" She said to herself.

"Onbeperk,Jack,Laity,and others….what happened to you all? After we sealed Adisa away…that little organization has stopped doing whatever it was trying to do." Aliyah said to herself.

"Aliyah! You might wanna take a look at this!" A man said as he crashed through the jungle. "What is it, Perk?"

"There was a man in our jungle! We've never seen him before and his aura is stronger than yours!"

Aliyah and Perk rushed back to the clan. Thousands of people stared at the man who had rally pale skin and dark eyes.

"I'll kill everyone in this bullshit place! Let me out!" He shouted.

Aliyah pushed through the crowd and scolded the man. "Who…are you?" Aliyah asked.

"I'm Gem! The strongest bastard you'll ever meet!" Gem yelled.

"Where are you from? What are you doing here?"

"I don't know where I'm from…or why I'm here." Gem answered.

"Is that so? Do you mind if I use my ability on you? It won't hurt…I can promise you that." Aliyah said in a bribing way.

******

"I believe you, Jerome. But…"

"Not the but."

"I understand that they've been weird lately. But why would they work together? Hell, they don't even know she exist, right? So why do that?" Jericho asked.

"I…don't know."

"Let's move the higher-ups and monarchs out of the picture. I just don't believe that. But about that woman…you believe she's not of this world?"

"Yes. If I'm correct about what she is…then it's only a matter of time before the takeover!"

"Wait, wait. You…you think she's a alien?" Jericho asked.

"Yes."

Jericho stared directly into Jerome's soul without moving or sayin anything. Jericho bursted out into a loud laughter.

Jerome stared for a moment and also laughed with Jericho. "I know I sound so stupid, huh?!" Jerome laughed out loud as tears fell from his face.

"I-I know! Aliens on our island!? Hahahaha! Let me guess….they're gonna have a little invasion!?" Jericho laughed.

Both the men laughed their assess off at each other. "I guess the strange man found in the forest was also a alien also!" Jericho laughed.

"Wait what the hell? When?" Jerome asked as his smile disappeared. "At the leo clan. They found-"

"Come on, Jericho! I would say bring your family but they're not here for some odd reason." Jerome yelled as he kicked open the door.

"They travel!" Jericho yelled as he quickly followed.

*******

Gem was slowly raised to the ground from the giant cage he was kept in. Aliyah opened the door and welcomed him. "The tree of life would have killed him if he were evil." Aliyah yelled to the crowd.

Somethings not sitting right. I don't know what this since of urgency is but…am I doing something wrong? Aliyah thought to herself.

Gem looked around and studied the surrounding area. She was supposed to drop me off in this area. Did something happen to her? Or was it just an error in her coordinates? Whatever, I'll just see this mission through! This woman can't be the six Gaga can she? She's weak! Gem thought to himself as a fake smile appeared across his face.

"No matter what, don't let him reach the higher-ups or the monarchs!" Jerome yelled as he crashed through the trees.

Everyone moved out of the way and pointed their weapons at Jerome. "What are you doing here?" Aliyah asked.

"Put that man back in the cage. We can't let the higher-ups or the monarchs find out about him!" Jerome yelled.

Gems eyes grew with curiosity. "That's it." He whispered.

Gem lowered his body to the ground and leaped in the sky. Disappearing in the clouds.

"He have to go after-"

Jerome and Jericho both jumped in the air and quickly followed Gem. Aliyah looked up and followed as well.

Jerome managed to grab Gem by his foot. Gem was surprised to see the three of them so close together.

"I'll be seeing you on the ground!" Jerome laughed.

"I bet I could do I right about….NOW!" Gem yelled as two giant wings formed. He feet changed into claws as he freed himself from Jerome's hold.

Jerome plummeted.

"Now…I have to find-"

Suddenly a giant creature that Gem had never seen before appeared from behind. "A yellow monster? Who's that man sitting in it? And who's the woman riding it!?"

Jericho had summoned his Kostush monster. Jericho's eyes glowed bright yellow, as the creature flew closer and closer towards Gem.

Gem spun around and shot a beam of energy towards Jericho and Aliyah. Aliyah ducked as the kostush took the blast and kept moving.

"NOW!!" Jericho yelled as Jerome jumped off of the creature and fell from above. Gem looked up as he quickly tried to readjust his body.

"Come out…REAPER!!"

Jerome's aura formed into a reaper that surrounded his body. "Expansion: Reapers calling".

A scythe from Jerome's aura formed in his hands. The reaper now had a scythe and raised it above its head.

Gem stared with joy as two of the giant creatures closed in on him. "Damn". He laughed.

********

The gate to the Kani clan was kicked open as hundreds of guards flooded the area. "Everyone step aside". The guards told everyone.

Joseph and five others walked in the Kani clan. "This is the Kani clan, Joseph, Star, Quentesa, Ryan, Bolt, and leader….Xenon the blood clans leader".

Udo sat at the top of his tower and looked down at the higher-ups. "What do you want?" He asked.

"Udo…get down here". Quentesa ordered.

Udo's body started moving on its own. He had no control over his actions. He jumped off of the tower and stood in front of the six rulers.

"Your ability still pisses me off". Udo yawned.

"We're not here to play games, Udo. We found out that you found a girl in the ocean? Where is she?" Xenon asked.

"Nice to see you, Xenon. How's your royal guard or whatever? Oh…never mind. I forgot…they're dead!" Udo laughed.

Xenon ignored Udos comments and walked right past him. "That's the thing with all creatures. We all think that we're the center of the universe. Believe me, Udo. You…have no idea". Xenon continued to walk towards Udo's tower.

"Wait what are you-"

"Kneel". Quentesa ordered.

Udo kneeled and watched Xenon walk towards the tower. "It's just like me talking about your dead family". Xenon scuffed.

Udo's eye grew large as he stared at Xenon with a unsettling expression.

Joseph scuffed for a moment then stopped. "Forgive me". He said while covering his smile.

"I know your in the tower…so come out". Xenon yelled.

"I don't know what your talking about. But…I suggest you all step away from the clan before I lose my temper!"

"Udo…do you recall that loud explosion? Juliana was one of the monarchs. It's against the rules to kill one of our own". Joseph explained.

Quentesa looked at Star and Bolt. "Star, use your ability and see his mind". Quentesa ordered.

Star stood over Udo as he golden hair dragged across the dirt. She placed a finger on Udo's head and closed her golden eyes.

"I see. It would seem….he's responsible for Juliana's death". Star said.

"Who the hell is Juliana!? And when did you all come after-wait…don't tell me that the whole time…"

"We should kill him, Xenon!" Bolt argued.

"No. We have to find the girl first-"

"The girl you guys are looking for isn't here! She never was! It was a damn-"

I'm a flash, Xenon grabbed Udo and slammed his head into the ground. "We will…kill you if you speak out of line again. We will also find the girl". Xenon said as Crystal walked out in the clearing.

Joseph,Ryan,Bolt, and Star all stepped in front of Xenon. "Go back inside! We're looking for-"

"The girl from the ocean."

The higher-ups fell to silence as Crystal took a step toward.

Now I get it. Jerome and the others really were right! Crystal…pretended to be me the whole time! I never fought Juliana…she did by pretending to be me.

"But…why kill them? I thought they were on the same side….unless".

"Where are you from?" Xenon asked.

"I don't know. But….the signal is approaching". Crystal warned as she took a few steps back.

"Up there!" Bolt yelled as two huge creatures fell from the sky. It was Jericho and Jerome, with Gem leading them towards the Kani clan.

"Everyone get down now!" Udo yelled to his people. Everyone ducked and took cover to shelter as the three were closer.

Joseph clapped his hands and put a force field over him and the rest of the higher-ups. "Found them!! Now…time for the great attack!" Gem laughed as aura surrounded his body.

"Jericho and Jerome, move your asses now!" Aliyah screamed as they were about to his the Kani clan.

"We can't!"

"We can't!"

They both yelled back.

Jerome caught a glance of Quentesa. His eyes grew in shock. "Don't stop moving". Jerome could read her lips.

"There's no way…your here….mother".

Jerome whispered as Gem clapped his hands and created a nuke-like explosion in the sky, sending violent winds to the ground and destroying everything.

"I can feel it…they've finally crossed paths with each other". Crystal said as she kept an eye on Colt.

"That's good. It's only a matter of time before we can open the portal". Amethyst said.

"Portal? Aren't we already away from Earth?" Aubrie asked.

"There is no such…thing. This is all connected to one singular planet".

"Stop telling lies". Colt yelled.

"Oh, but it is no lie, and that's the truth. What do you think the universe is exactly? A place where multiple planets are being held? Black hole? No! It's a giant planet…and we're all apart of it." Crystal explained as she started walking around.

"T-that's insane! A planet the size of the universe!?"

Crystal pointed at the green sky. "For us to open the portal…we're gonna need your blood, a sacrifice".

Aubrie and Colt looked at each other and back to Crystal.

"Why do you have to open it?" Colt asked.

Amethyst stepped in. "Your friend Adisa is still alive. Inside of him is a guardian/troop. The guardians are our enemy…and a threat to our king".

"All I'm saying…is that one of you will die. I'm just debating on who to kill". Crystal laughed.

"Make your decision before Obsidian comes. You know how impatient he is". Amethyst laughed.

Colt stared at Aubrie. They want…to kill everyone! These things are…are animals! I don't…I don't want Aubrie to get hurt. But…I'm so damn weak! No! Me and Aubrie…will stop them together! I don't want to sit here and wait for my death!

Deep in a small town…Jade opened the door slowly and stared at the man who sat in a chair, drinking lots of water.

"I didn't actually think you were serious about meeting me here". Jade said as she took a seat.

"Serious? What do you need, girl?" The man asked.

"Four years ago…this little group tried to take Adisa…I was apart of it. So, I know I shouldn't even be here…but we could use more warriors". Jade admitted.

"Continue". The man yawned.

"We killed the lower class fighter in the group, and they were powerful themselves. I'm asking…that you get them to fight with us!" Jade pleaded.

"Fight with y'all? We still have our own goal-"

"I-I know. But…we need all the help we can get! Regardless of your plan…it won't work if we're all dead". Jade cried.

"This might piss off Onbeperk but…I'll give you our second class warriors. In exchange…you have to make a deal with me". The man said.

"That's fine. Just let me know when you want me to do something and I'll do it". Jade said.

"Okay. Meet at the city….where it all went down. There, you'll find our second-class warriors that will assist you. That's if…they're even there or want to work with you". The man said.

Jade got out of the chair and walked towards the door to exit. "I appreciate it…Jack".

Blue eyes from across the room stared at Jade. "Mhm. Is Frost alive?" Jack asked.

"Yes".

"I see. You can leave now, Jade".

Jade slammed the door shut and walked alone. "I know what city he's talking about. The one…where lots of humans lived before we messed it up".
