A brief History of Wickeds

The students took pictures from the room, the teacher and four friends. They all, as expected, posted it in social media with different captions and creative edits, some turned it into memes others, their cover photos.

"What happened there Tom?" a student approached them.

"I don't know, a bunch of strangers came in and we don't know what happened next."

"What else?" another student asked.

"Sorry, kids but that kind of interview is on me." Sheriff said to the students. "Okay?"

"Okay sheriff." The students answered.

Sheriff grabbed Thomas' arms and went inside of the school premises and into the guidance counselor's room. They both sat in an old sofa that used to be at the lounge for the parents, turns out students needed something comfortable at the moment.

"What really happened?" Sheriff asked.

"The mundane way or the Wicked one?" Thomas sarcastically asked.

"I'm trying to be serious here Tom."

"Serious? Okay, tell me first something about Shadow Callers and I mean Wickeds, It's all over the place since I ever knew your secrets."

"Okay? I will, but not here."

"Can I come?" A girl suddenly talked, it was Artemis she seem to be standing at the corner of the room near the drawer where all the students file were placed.

"Okay, sure but tell me something first who are you?"

"Oh, I'm Artemis, Artemis Storms." Artemis said with a very serious face.

"Storms? You mean your father is Victor Storms? The Moon Shifter?"

"You know her?" Thomas asked.

"Her father, a friend of mine, one of the noble Wickeds, Light Class."

"A Noble Wicked? Class ? Okay, you really must explain to me everything."

"Well then, only one place to go, Our base, H.A. Back Alley "

Fordwyre Alley, Town of Hoverdrive

Back at the creepy and the coldest base of the Hunters. There stood John Doe and his army of Reapers ready to report everything that happened the moment they saw Thomas unleashed his Wicked ability.

"YOU FOOLS! How can you let that Caller, defeat you!" The Grine Leader angrily scolded John.

"But, he…"

"I don't care what he did!"

"Calm yourself down Lee, the Reapers did something right." someone spoke from a distant, it was the Elder Memorant.

"Right thing? The Rising is near!"

"We know, but releasing the Callers potential abilities might increase our winning rate against them."

"Really?"

"What else do you think?"

"Then we continue, but if my patience reached the end we must get him as planned and we shed his blood for the King!" The Leader said and ordered every Wicked in his league.

The Cait-Sith's prepared their Blades, the Reapers their flames and the Hunters their weapons. Everyone prepared and wait as The Grine Leader Jefferson Lee plan the befall of The Shadow Caller Thomas Smith.

Hoverdrive Back Alley Alternate Pocket Dimension

Back at the base of Thomas' friends, there in a shifted dimension where they all hid as they're base.

"Okay so, Start, from the very beginning." Thomas said while he sits in an old chair that is only visible in that universe.

"So, everything started since the time of Adolf Hitler." Sheriff Sanders said while he on the other hand grabbed a small jewelry like box, a box that has quite the texture, smooth as a newly made box with some Celtic design that is visible on its side.

"Wait Hitler?"

"Yep, just listen okay, questions later." Artemis stated while she sits beside Thomas in a chair that has cracks and has squeaks every time Artemis moves.

"They created experiments to create super soldiers but instead they created Wickeds. And the very first Wicked is called an Indifferent wherein it actually is in the Night Class, a Shadow Caller."

"Like me?" Thomas asked. Sheriff then opened the box and handed out seven wooden figures that looked like something from Jumanji, with seven different colors. Red, blue, green, violet, orange, white and of course black.

"Yes, he is the general of Hitler. General Shade, he was the first Wicked but his form is not like any other he does not resemble any human figure. He is a pitch blacked shadow with very sharp tips from fingers, shoulders, elbow, head and from his thigh going to the foot does not even look a human being it is formed like a dinosaur..."

"He actually looked like the boogeyman." Artemis added.

"... Going back, He fought side by side with Hitler, killing with no mercy, people killed without even any second thoughts and sooner he is called a Wicked by the people. Sucking up the human energy by just holding them, but that's not all. He found out something to turn back into human. He did not just sucked up human energy but also human knowledge. Thus making him smart and experimented on himself and slowly he turned back from becoming human. While the failed subjects? He turned them into successful ones but all of them have limitations in they're abilities. Someone has to stop him right? It was a scientist named Felix Storms…"

"My Great Grand Father." Artemis again added a word.

"These wooden figures here resembles every class a Wicked belong. The first Six were the Shadow Caller and the failed subjects." He grabbed six figures and showed it to Thomas. "Here, the Red ones are for the Runner Class, Green the Time Class, Violet the Mind Class, Blue for the Core Class, Orange for the Changeling and of course Black for the Night Class."

"What's the White for?" Thomas asked.

"They're for peeps like us" Artemis answered.

"Going back, they fight along side with the Caller, but on the other hand, Felix hid and reverse engineered the Shadow Caller Experiment. Thus turned him into a different class, the Celestial Class a Night Shifter which we know as Moon Shifters nowadays. The noble Wickeds or Nobles for short. He then tried to stop General Shade. But for some reason Shade was lost in Germany and flew to California to create a base for other expected subjects. That place is here at Hoverdrive."

"Wait, they made Hoverdrive a base?"

"Yes, we don't know what the reason is but Shade moved faster than expected, he created more and more Wickeds, then a war began. The Wickeds joined the World War against human, they are on no sides. But one bloody fight against them Felix was present he changed and became an invulnerable Wicked, Shade had no match for someone like Felix. The Shifter has backup plans, he made a team to turn other Wickeds unto Shade, He also made the others as Nobles and fought Shade. Some says Shade died because of the Nobles but the others said he will one day rose again and rule over the world ones more." Sheriff ended his story with an unknown ending.

"Wow, that's quite an explanation. So I'm a Shadow Caller. I'm…"

"Thomas that's not what you think your father and you are different." Artemis encouraged Tom by holding his hands. Thomas felt the heat the hands of Artemis produced.

"Yes, Artemis is right. It's because of your mother's side. The Mind class specifically the Memorants erased a glimpse of the Shadow Callers memories." Sheriff said.

"What about the other Night Class, like coach I guess, wait is he even in the Night Class?"

"Yes, he is one of the Night Class. And we don't know what he's up to."

"Can you give me Ideas what specific Wickeds are on each class? And what this Dimension is for?" Thomas.

"I'm afraid I can't, I will go back at the Surface area now."

"I'll tell you." Artemis volunteered.

Sheriff just nodded. And he headed unto the entrance and exit of the Dimension, and a burst of light showed Tom and Artemis covered their eyes and suddenly Sheriff disappeared.

"It's just the two of us now huh? Well I guess I'll explain to you the missing pieces." Artemis aforesaid.

"Okay." Thomas answered with an unexplained feeling, his cheeks began to turn red.

"Well, Base dimension are created when Wickeds wanted to hide from humans, they are created by the Mind Class, they all have the ability to create a dimension in exchange of their memories. And this dimension might be created by your mother."

"You know my mother?"

"Ummm, I might have searched it for a while. But that's not the point okay? Let's just explain things, There were Seven Classes and I am on the Celestial Class. This Class is composed of Moon Shifters, Light Bearer and Porters we all gain the knowledge of each Class and also have the capability to either borrow a Wicked ability for a moment of time, blind a certain being for a moment of time and of course like me "shift" Night Class Wickeds if touch, we also have the capability to either hunt or protect the Night Class. Ummm, we can also heal but as a side effect the wound will be backfiring on us."

"Supporters, Healers, Guardians and possibly the Night Class' weakness? That's enlightening." Thomas said with a bit shiver on his back.

"Don't be scared I'll protect you, but if you became you know what maybe I'll change my mind."

"Yes, ma'am" Thomas stuttered. Artemis grabbed the figures and showed it ones more on Thomas, he picked the Red one and placed it on the upper left side together with the white one.

"Okay, next the Red one, Runner Class or Runners, obviously as the name suggest they are speedsters who can run faster than human in different forces. There are Runners by foot or Runners by souls you know what I mean, the energy type one? They usually have to eat lots of food every time they run or else they will faint, actually Runners also have the capability to transfer energy to other objects. There are two kinds Soul Runners before known as Sleep Walkers kinda guess why they change that, and Moon-courser they resemble our Wicked name because they were Nobles before but their leader back out because they have to be an independent Wicked." She then grabbed the Green and Violet figures. "These two are the Time and Mind class respectively, The Time Class consists of Time Clappers, that's Fred and Time Walkers they both have the ability to manipulate time, like Fred their abilities back fired on them, but the Walkers on the other hand looses a glimpse of their memory each time they time travel which can cause amnesia on the latter, that is why they have to b with the Mind Class, they consist of Memorants your mother, Telepaths, Mind movers or Telekinetic Wickeds and also the Dreamers they have obviously mind abilities they can manipulate and erase memories, read minds, by the way mind readers are usually mute and they talk with the minds obviously, the other one moves objects with a certain limit, can control elements like fire but they need fire first, water but they need water first and so on… while some, see future evens via dreams."

"That's a lot."

"Okay" He grabbed the Orange and the blue figure. "These two are the Changeling and the Core class. The Changeling are half animals or even shape shifters either the cat people or the Cait-Sith sometimes they are the Weapon smiths, The Grine Hunters or werewolf like creatures, the Unknowns obviously they really are unknowns because they change into different human forms each time they wake up, ever watch Everyday that's the one."

"Ummm, no?"

"Oh, I forgot its not yet released."

"I also overheard Suicide Squad?"

"That, sorry spoiler its gonna have a live action. My Uncle usually take me to different timelines but he actually died."

"Oh, Sorry just continue."

"Okay, the Core class are Hyperiors, Breathers, Levitants and Electromagnus, they have the ability to have super strength, super breathing, make things fly or manipulate Gravity by either touch or inclined with them also the Electromagnus are lucky and unlucky ones because they can't permanently see visible objects, every blink they make it shows a different view, infrared then micro then gamma etc." She then grabbed the Black Figure. "Lastly, the Night Class the dark kind of Wickeds, they are composed of Shadow Callers like you, Reapers like John Doe and Removers. They have dark entity powers that can change their appearance by calling a shadow, Backfire or Burn others by touch and the others can Erase or disintegrate someone by touch of course they wear gloves but also has a slight feedback on them, the ability to faint each time they touch something. And I guess that's all." Artemis ended her words.

"Now, everything is arranged." Thomas got closer to Artemis, and held her hand. "Thanks."

Artemis' cheeks began to blush. "Ummm…" She breath deeply and slightly fixed her hairs at the side of her ear. "Welcome."

The setting inside of the Dimension began to be lively as the hearts of both Wickeds began to pump at the same rate. But the slow moment changed when Artemis' mind began thinking another thing. Thomas didn't know who Artemis really were. She stood up and walk backwards. "I'm sorry." She left the dimension without any other thoughts but that. "Wait." Thomas tried to follow Artemis but she disappeared and went outside.

Thomas followed her and on the other side of the dimension Thomas was surprised from what suddenly showed. It was Artemis ,yes, but she was in the hands of the Cait-Siths. Then a cold steel rod hit his nape and all he see is a blur image of the Cat people while they slowly disappeared in his eyes.
