Chapter 19 The Power Trade
The green portal opened and closed again as Nancy, Kodyack, and another boy stepped through. The boy was dressed in an orange suit. He was African American with brown eyes and curly black hair. On his hands and feet were in heavy chains.
“I’m back, powerful warriors.”Nancy said turning to us. “What in the...”She raised her hands, red power orbs forming.
Pedro snapped his fingers and put a see through wall between us (meaning Pedro,myself ,and my big sister, Crystal) that was made entirely out of yellow orbs.
Nancy threw a red beam at us.The yellow wall absorbed it.
“No,” she shouted, clenching her fists.
“Give up, Nancy,”Pedro said. Nancy just glared at him, pushing a green button on the computer-board. Two steel surgical tables rose up out of the floor. She looked at the black-haired man.
“Sade, get on the first table. We don’t have a lot of time.”Nancy said
Sade did so. Kodyack looked at Jaren.
“Get on the other one now!”
“No. I won’t switch my powers with Sade!”
Kodyack threw a red-yellow orb at Jaren and knocked him out. Laying him on the platform, Kodyack chained him up to it and pressed a red button on the computer. A tray of surgical tools appeared.
I turned into an an orange orb and went through the wall. Materializing, I stood in front of Kodyack, power orbs aimed at him.
“Let them go!” Kodyack threw a beam of darkness at me that threw me up against the yellow wall. The wall disappeared as Crystal stood in front of Kodyack.
“I’ve got this one! Now, everyone go save Jaren!” Crystal said
Kodyack shot a beam of Darkness into the air as Pedro and I went towards Jaren and Sade.
Throwing a beam of darkness at us, Nancy threw us back a few inches. Turning around she shot two dark red orbs at the ground as a red see through wall appeared and trapped Jaren and Sade.
Nancy chuckled at us.
“I challenge you to....”I said
“Wait, Skyrid.”
Pedro threw a gray orb into the air.Green orbs came out of it as they went into Crystal, me and him.
“I want a rematch, Nancy!”I said
“You’re beneath me.”
“I've grown more powerful since then.”
“What, in the time you've been imprisoned in here?”
“Yes.”I said, smirking.
“Child,you can‘t beat me. Remember who lost last time?”
“I just said, I've grown more powerful."
“Fine, if you wish to lose so badly, then I'll accommodate you."
"But if I win, Nancy, you have to let them go.”
Nancy turned into her warrior form. I saw a blue and white cape appear on Kodyack and light red armor cover his body as a brown and orange helmet formed onto his head as a dark red staff appeared in his right hand. Crystal threw a white beam into the air as Pedro and I both threw a beam of light into the air.
Pure crystal white armor appeared all over her body as a blue staff with ice in the middle of it appeared in her right hand and a light white helmet formed onto her head. My warrior form appeared on me as I watched Pedro’s armor appear on him. Bright yellow armor appeared all over Pedro with a blue-yellow helmet, a blue and white cape, and a light black staff with lava in the middle appeared in his left hand.
“Pedro, what’d I do first?”I said
“Watch her pauses. She’s a good defender, but not a fast one..”
I threw a beam of light at Nancy as she turned into a light red orb and flew up above it. Reifying into herself, Nancy landed on the ground. Kodyack threw a light green beam at Crystal.Freezing it, she made it burst into icicles and deflected them back at Kodyack.
“It’s not working. Any other ideas?”I said
“Yes. Your Mythical Creature form.”
“I don’t have one.”I said
“You will.”I said
Pedro shot a yellow-green orb towards me as I jumped up into the air and caught it. In an instant, black dragon wings grew out of my back that had a wingspan of 5 feet, my head turned into an eagle’s and a lion’s head and a griffin’s head appeared on each of my shoulders as all of my clothes were strewn all over the place and gray fur covered my body. Nancy screamed at the sight of me and threw a fawn beam at me as I flew up. Kodyack then turned them at Crystal and used them to throw her up against the wall.
“Skyrid! You won’t win this!” Nancy said as she a threw a light black orb at me and it exploded. I was thrown back against the wall as cuts appeared on my chest. I saw Crystal being held against the wall by her own icicles as my Mythical Creature form faded out.
I got up slowly as the pain from my chest cuts intensified as Pedro threw a light brown orb at me and made a green shirt and red jeans appear on my body.
“You’ve lost, Skyrid. And, your sister will be the first one to be hurt!”
Kodyack curled his hands into fists as he hit them against each other and Crystal’s body went into Seizure. It shaked and shaked as tears came down my face.
“He’s hurting her! Please tell him to stop, Nancy!”I said
“Why should I?”Nancy said
“Because I’ll attack you if you don’t!”Pedro said
“No,you won’t!” Nancy said, holding a power orb in her hands.
“You wouldn’t attack a Sayis, would you?”
“Watch me.”
Nancy threw the blue-purple orb at Pedro. He threw a light-yellow beam at it and sucked Nancy into it.
“Skyrid, go save your sister!”He said
I stood in front of Kodyack.Tackling him, I got up, touched my sister and her seizure stopped.
Pedro glared at me.
“What?!”
“Everything caused by Warrior powers can be stopped the Healing Warrior’s Touch.”
Crystal looked at me.
“Thank you , Skyrid.”She said
“How do I get the real Kodyack back?” I said.
“You have to win against him in a duel.” Crystal said.
Kodyack opened a black portal.
“Wait! I challenge you to a duel, Kodyack!”I said
It closed.
Kodyack and I turned into our warrior forms. He shot a orb of darkness at me as I jumped up into the air and turned into my Mythical Creature Form. Kodyack screamed at the sight of me and threw a red beam towards me. I dodged it and threw a orb of light at Kodyack as he fell down unconscious. Shooting a green orb in the air, I caught it as it came down and turned back into my warrior form. I ran over to Kodyack as he awoke.
“W-What happened?”
“Nancy put you in chains and then possessed you.”
“Possessed?!”Kodyack said
He walked towards Nancy with power orbs raised at her.
“The boy’s lying, Kodyack.”
“Why’d I believe you? You imprisoned me.”
“Yes. But, I didn’t possess you.”
“Yes she did, Kodyack. You switched my powers with Sade’s.” Jaren said
“I did?!”
“They’re lying, Kody!”Nancy said
“Don’t call me that! I’m not your servant anymore!”Kodyack said
Kodyack threw two light brown orbs at Nancy and imprisoned her.
“Let me go!”
“No. Your powers will be suspended while you serve life in prison.”
Kodyack lifted his hands up as two green rings came out of Nancy’s wrists and placed themselves in his hands.
“Give them back! I was trying to help Sade!”
“Ignore her, Skyrid. She’s trying to excuse herself.”
A light blue portal appeared as Nancy was sucked into it as it closed and disappeared.
We all went silent as the dungeon wall moved backwards and Anna and Nester appeared.
“Skyrid!” Anna said, running up to me and hugging me tightly.
“How’d you find us?”I said
“Nester used a transportat
ion pedestal and we appeared in front of the black dragon statue and I touched it.” Anna said.
“So you tried to find us, Nester? I thought you hated us.”
“I do. But, I got pretty bored with just having Chaser to torture.”
“Sorry to cut this short, but we have to find Bradley.”Crystal said.
“She’s right, Skyrid. We gotta go.”
“Why?“
“The only way to reverse the switch is to use a purely good human soul.”
“How is Bradley Greenson that?” I said
“He’s Kursta’s sinless son and the Minotaur Sayis.”Pedro said
Pedro opened a blue portal and I said my goodbyes as him and I went into it and disappeared.
