Speaker 4: Last time on Battalion thirteen, the podcast, the group learned
of Madeline suicide and began making plans to go home.
Welcome to Battian thirteen, the podcast. Episode nine, Dominator, accompanied
by a small Red beetle squadron led by Red Beetle one,
returned to Lapis seven, home of a precious squid demon.
Lapis seven was a water dimension contained with a dense
and labyrinthine cave system. Dominator donned a deep sea dive suit.
She called out to the squid demon, who squeezed out
of its hiding place and floated before her. Large and menacing,
its likeness was almost akin to a Tara one vampire squid,
but its tentacles were much longer and its cloak webbing
was short by comparison. It was also a bino and
the size of a small building.
Speaker 5: Hello again, lovely, I've got a favorite to ask of.
Speaker 4: You, The squid demon warbled in response, which made Red
beet of one shift uncomfortably to him. Its response felt
like a rippled, menacing snarl through the water.
Speaker 5: I need you to kill a person for me. It'll
be fun. You even get to eat them.
Speaker 4: The swid demon's body rippled a bit enthusiastically, like it
hadn't had the joy of eating in a long time.
Red beata One tapped down at her shoulder.
Speaker 6: Madam, this thing it won't eat us.
Speaker 5: Right, No, unless you keep talking. You're just here for
a decoration. Remember, don't do anything.
Speaker 4: Red beet of One back down.
Speaker 5: Lovely, Just ignore him. Now you'll have to come to
tea one with me in order.
Speaker 4: To It warbled again, this time in defiance and subvernness.
It apparently didn't want to leave this place.
Speaker 5: Don't be like that. You get to see the sun
and fresher water.
Speaker 4: It crooned.
Speaker 5: There will be lots of people around for eating. You
can have as much as you like, and then come
back here when you're satisfied.
Speaker 4: It warbled an obvious delight. This time, it reached out
a tentacle to grab Dominator in an ecstatic hug. When
Red beata One threw a stalagmite at it, piercing the tentacle,
it roared in pain.
Speaker 6: No one hurts Madam, Dominator. Red Beetles, protect our mistress.
Speaker 7: Don't let that thing near her.
Speaker 4: Red Beata One began using the water to hold it
in place while others charged at it. Red Meta One
stood in front of Dominator as protection.
Speaker 5: You idiot, you've hurt my poor Zerras. Now we're all dead.
It was going to no, it wasn't It was perfectly content.
Now he's enraged. I had everything under control until you interfered.
Speaker 8: But go away, let me handle this.
Speaker 4: She shoved Red Beeta One out of her way and
began trying to calm Zerras. Red Beata One ordered to retreat,
tearing a rift into space and peering back to base lovely.
Speaker 5: He didn't mean it. It's okay, it's just me now, mommy.
Speaker 4: Dominator Zira's didn't listen. Instead, it looked at her, seeing red,
and began attacking her. She dodged left and right, running
for her life. One straggling Red Beetle got him paled
before escaping, pierced through the abdomen with a spike on
the inside of the squid Demon's tentacles. Syrra's then ate
the Red Beetle's corpse in one bite. Now it charged
onwards with more vigor, trying to capture anyone in anything
it could see. Dominator ran through the caves, cutting down
selectites and hurling them at it with her laser whip.
She didn't want to hurt the squid demon, after all,
it was like a beloved pet to her, but she
knew she couldn't outrun it. She silently apologized to it
in her mind, but kept running. She then found a
chasm in the cave, stretching farther than anyone could see.
The squid Demon was so close that it could almost
grab her, and so, knowing it was right behind her
and unable to stop, suddenly, she leaped off into the chasm.
Dominair tore open a rift somewhere anywhere. The squidnaming then
howled a soul wrenching sound, a noised and blend of
a well cry, and a blood curdling screamed. It couldn't
change trajectory fast enough to run from the rift, and
so it flew through at top speed. As the rounded
tip of its head disappeared through the rift, Dominaor let
go of the rift, and like a projector's screen, it
disappeared from existence. A piece of its tentacle got stuck
in the rift, and the sheer fabric of reality severed it.
As it fell into the chasm. The blood dissolved into
the water and the limb disintegrated as if nothing happened.
Dominator continued to fall into the chasm. She tore rifts
open around her, but couldn't fall through any of them.
She finally used her whip to cut the world open
below her and fell back into the renegade base. She
came into contact with the floor. Drenched and exhausted, she
tore off her underwater suit and breathed in a breath
of life. Relieved, she lay on the floor, panting and
exhausted physically, her hair soaking in the water that dripped
from her suit into a puddle. Her eyes struggled to
focus due to the strain put on them, but when
they finally settled and came into focus, a pair of
authoritative boots was the first thing to grace her vision.
Madeline was sitting in a small campsite where she had
settled for the night. She had enough supplies to get
through a couple more days, but without Jake, she was
uncertain of how she would get more supplies or even
nowhere to go next. She began to write in her.
Speaker 9: Journal November eleventh, nineteen ninety five, Jake, where are you?
Are you even alive? And what was that thing that
took you? Wherever you are? If you're still alive, I
will find you. I have a couple of cans of
beans left, and I found some more tuna fish in
the bag you dropped when the creature took you. You've
been holding out on me. Probably a good thing. I
would have eaten them immediately.
Speaker 4: All of a sudden, Madeline heard a tearing sound of
the sky. She looked up to see a rift, and
through it came the creature. She could tell it was
the same creature because it still had a wound where
one of her arrows had struck it the last time
she saw it. It swooped down toward her and attempted
to grab her. She ducked out of the way and
grabbed her crossbow. She loaded it as the creature regained
altitude and banked for another dive. Then it took aim
at the creature. She didn't want to kill it. If
she killed it, she wouldn't be able to find Jake.
She also didn't want it to take her and do
to her what it did to Jake. She needed to
be able to follow it through the rift, but it
was in the sky. Maybe the only way to go
where it took Jake was to allow herself to be captured,
or maybe she could take control of it somehow. She
wasn't sure what to do.
Speaker 9: Where did you take him, you bastard?
Speaker 4: The creature dove for her again, and this time it
caught her. She fired another bolt into its arm and
it let her go. She found herself falling at an
incredible speed, and just as she was about to hit
the ground, Maddie Darien woke again in a cold sweat.
Christian was shocked to wake by Darian's shouting Madeline's name.
Speaker 10: Darian calmed down, It's okay, it was just another dream.
Speaker 4: No, it wasn't. It was the other Mattie. She was
in serious trouble. This time. Some kind of dragon like
thing was attacking her. She fired a boat from a
crossbow and it dropped her from an enormous height. I
think she's had it. I didn't even know this version
of her, and now she's probably dead. I have to
tell Sam right away. Darien got up and got dressed
in blue jeans and a black T shirt. He put
on his socks and put on his shoes.
Speaker 10: Darien, where do you think you're going?
Speaker 4: I have to see if she's still alive. If there
is some version of my sister alive, I have to
help her. Darien was panicked. He walked over to Sam's
old room and knocked on the door.
Speaker 8: What is it.
Speaker 4: I just had another dream about Maddie. She was almost
castured by a dragon or something, but she injured it
and it dropped her from a tremendous height. We need
to see if she's okay.
Speaker 8: Okay, calm down.
Speaker 11: The only way I'm going to be able to get
the info I need from your mind is if you
calm down. We need to get you into a meditative state.
How you need to slow your heart rate. You're going
a mile a minute.
Speaker 4: Darien closed his eyes and began to concentrate. He calmed
himself and grinded his energy. Sam touched his forehead and
closed her eyes. She began to open a viewing window
to the dimension that Maddie was in.
Speaker 8: Darien look.
Speaker 4: Darien looked to the window and saw that there was
no one there. The fire in the campsite had not
been properly put out and still had some glowing embers.
What does this mean? Look, her backpacking journal are still
sitting there. Should we go through and grab him?
Speaker 11: I don't think that it's a good idea. I think
you only saw part of what happened here. I think
we're missing something.
Speaker 4: I already had to bury one version of my sis, Sir,
I don't want to have to bury another.
Speaker 8: I don't think she's dead. She never hit the ground.
Speaker 11: Maybe the creature grabbed her yet.
Speaker 4: Are you sure we shouldn't go through.
Speaker 8: There's nothing we can do now.
Speaker 12: We need to get.
Speaker 8: Ready to bury our Madeline. I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: Darien hugged Sam and then went back in his bedroom
and tried to get a little more sleep before the funeral.
Darien to get step.
Speaker 7: Into the world of power, loyalty, and luck.
Speaker 13: I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse.

Speaker 4: Found himself in the recliner in his older brother Shawn's house.
This is not the Shawn who is asleep with Alicia
right now. It was a Shawn from the future, the
one who was helping him get through this difficult time
when they both lost their little sister. This time he
knew it was a dream. He got it from the
chair and looked around. Sean, are you here? Out of
the shadows, the older version of Sewn appeared.
Speaker 7: We don't have a lot of time, Darien. I have
some renegade war plans to show you. How did you
get these doesn't matter, It's just good that I have them.
It looks like there's going to be another attack on
the academy. I think they're going to be bringing some
new blood into the mix too. New blood, yes, the
ones did you have met before? Dominator and Destroyer. It
looks like they have plans to use someone called Bolivion.
He carries a small ion cannon on his left arm.
He's highly destructive. You may need help against him. These
plans should give you the knowledge you need to take
control of the situation.
Speaker 4: Destroyer and Dominator. There was a woman on a dimension
site leading the attack, and she had these troops called
Red Beetles. I never knew the woman's name or the
names of any of the vampires.
Speaker 7: The woman's name was Dominator. She commands the Red Beetles.
So you never saw Destroyer. Not sure.
Speaker 4: What does he look like.
Speaker 7: He's a cyborg. He's dark skinned and wears a long
black coat. He must have been at the last attack.
I was sure he was there.
Speaker 4: That doesn't even sound really like someone I saw at
the attack.
Speaker 7: He must have been there. Maybe he was doing something
else while Dominator was attacking.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know. Darien thought for a moment, then
he had an idea. The lights flickered and that's how
we discovered the attack. Maybe he was behind that.
Speaker 7: Maybe anyway, we need to talk about the upcoming attack.
I know right now you're still at our parents' house
for the funeral, but someone needs to go back and
warn the people at the academy. One of the things
about this attack is that for some reason, they are
after some plant extracts. But I don't know what they
are or why the Renegades want them so badly.
Speaker 4: That's weird. Can you show me an image of oblivion.
Sean concentrated for a moment, and a three D image
of oblivion appeared in front of Darien. Darien stepped back
a few feet, nervous about the image. The image was
of a tall man wearing a black and silver flight
suit and brandishing a black mini ion canon on his
left arm. His head was covered with a helmet and
face mask. He definitely looked intimidating. So this is oblivion.
What can he do other than blast a hole in
someone or something.
Speaker 7: It's very dangerous. He can incinerate any human target. He's
over one thousand years old. He used to go by
the name of edge Back when he was a good guy.
When he was a good guy about fifty years ago,
he was a member of Battalion thirteen. He was badly
injured by a renegade attack, and then they used their
retrieval system to bring him back to their base. Anything
good within him would have been destroyed by that process.
Speaker 13: They used to teach.
Speaker 7: Cadets about him at the academy, but it became too depressing.
Speaker 4: Retrieval system.
Speaker 7: Yes, the renengaged used a system that teleports them back
to their base. It doesn't change anyone who wears a
Renegade retrieval pit other than repairing minor injuries automatically, but
it takes any debt or critically injured from either side,
and once it repairs their body, it reanimates them without
their human soul. Then they become renegades, soulless creatures under
renegade control.
Speaker 4: That must be what happen at the ball. When we
got back to the auditorium, there were no bodies left
on the floor from the attack.
Speaker 7: Precisely. Now, when you wake up, I want you to
tell Sam to send Jake back to the academy so
he can start the team training and must be done
before you guys graduate. Your friends that are still there
should start immediately, all right.
Speaker 4: I'll tell them, but Jake should say throughout the funeral
if only for Sam no choice.
Speaker 7: This attack could happen at any time. Now, wake up.
Speaker 4: Year Ain't opened his eyes and then got up and
got dressed. He didn't wait Christen, He thought this time
he should let her sleep. He walked out of the
room and gently closed the door. He then walked to
Sam's room and softly knocked on the door.
Speaker 7: So you sent this squid demons where exactly.
Speaker 4: Dominator looked up to see his face. He was scouted.
Speaker 5: I've no clue where you wanted them to be.
Speaker 4: Dominator struggled to her feet, still feeling physically exhausted for
her escape.
Speaker 7: No, in fact, it's in the exact wrong location from
where I wanted it to be. It's on Tara one.
Now why would I have a problem with this?
Speaker 5: You don't want them to ask.
Speaker 7: You need them to be very good. Now that it's
so close, the UAD will find us, and all of
our time and planning has gone to waste again.
Speaker 10: I was a little bit panicked because they were.
Speaker 7: I don't need excuses, Dominator, I need results. Should you fail,
here's your new and most likely final instructions. Find me
a target, give me a reason to have that thing
on this plane of existence, or so help me, I
will have to wipe you and it from existence so
as to not be discovered. Am I clear?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 8: Nightm'am.
Speaker 4: Dominator knew failure wasn't an option, and she knew she
wouldn't fail again. She knew that discovery wouldn't help her
fight atam. In fact, it would set her back, and
her poor lovely must be so hungry anyway, and so
she went to look for a target. Sam and Jake
were in bed, having just talked to Darien about his
dream with Future Sean. They both knew that this meant
that Jake had to go back to the academy early
and miss the funeral.
Speaker 15: I really don't want to leave you here alone to
deal with all this.
Speaker 8: I don't think we have a choice here. Darien's dream
warns of another attack on the academy. Students aren't ready yet,
and that could happen at any time.
Speaker 15: Come to think of it, I wish Future Sean had
told Darien a day and time for the attack.
Speaker 7: We'd be much better prepared if we had that.
Speaker 8: Well, the fact is we don't know, and if it
happens while we are all away, it means that some
of our best people won't even be there to defend
the place. The remaining cadets need to be prepared.
Speaker 15: I can't do that on my own.
Speaker 8: Well, I can't go with you this time. Do you
have anyone else in mind?
Speaker 7: Actually?
Speaker 15: Yeah, what about Jed searching Trade. If we need somebody
to whip our cadets into shape, he'd be the perfect
person to do it.
Speaker 8: That's a great idea. You better give him a call
and see if he's available.
Speaker 7: Good idea.
Speaker 4: Jake grabbed the phone and dialed his number. It was
long distance, so it made the call as quick as possible.
He didn't want to leave Eugenie and Andrea with a
huge long distance. A few minutes later, Jake was ready
to go.
Speaker 15: I really hope this stack doesn't happen too soon. You
need time to train the cadets, and it'd be nice
if Daring a company. We're available too. I'm going to
go now. Jed said he'd be there in an hour.
We'll see you back after the funeral.
Speaker 8: Sounds good. Have a safe trip, Love you, Love you too, baby.
Speaker 4: Jake kissed Sam and then left. Dominator sat on a
park bench, actually awaiting Nightmare's arrival. She held a dossier
in her lap, the Manila envelope being quickled by her
tense fingers. Nightmare appeared and sat on the bench beside her.
Dominator looked down at the envelope and smoothed it out hastily.
Speaker 7: Hello, Dominator, do you have more bad news to give me? No,
i asked, let me guess you sent the squid demon
to the uad now and it has a festive sticker
attached to its face saying to your leader from Nightmare,
have a happy birthday. And it has return address on
the back. Oh, you really shouldn't have I could have
sent that on my own.
Speaker 8: No, I brought you here because I followed your orders.
Speaker 7: This is so what new messes have you brought me?
Speaker 5: There isn't a new mess. I did when you ask,
and I didn't make a mess in the first place.
Speaker 8: This fine target is got the crap.
Speaker 7: This isn't a sales pitch. If you hadn't failed, we
wouldn't be here right now, and this wouldn't be a
huge problem in the first place. You've screwed us all over,
and when we get discovered, it'll be your fault. End
of story.
Speaker 4: She passed through the Manila envelope meekly yet annoyed. She
already knew it was her fault. He didn't need to
rub some vinegar in her salt coatd open wood.
Speaker 5: This is an excellent target. Despite having powers, he has
no training and no clue how to use him. Not
that it will make it.

Speaker 5: Good difference to you.
Speaker 4: Nightmare opened the dossier, reading its contents.
Speaker 7: This target has plasma kinesis yes, and he has fly capabilities. Interesting,
but he's restricted to a suit.
Speaker 5: Seems like it can harness his powers maintainment. When we
catch him, though, he will be vulnerable and out of control.
Speaker 7: Very interesting, I approve.
Speaker 4: Nightmare placed the document back inside the Manila envelope.
Speaker 5: He'll be in Boston tomorrow. Wait from in the Boston
comments by the fountain. I promise he'll be there all right.
Speaker 7: Congratulations on not failing me again. You'll wait nearby in
case anything goes wrong with this.
Speaker 5: If the UAD shows up, I'll be ready.
Speaker 4: She flashed her whip and eventful smile spread across her face.
Half dressed in her navy suit with a loose tie
around his neck and undone buttons. Sean stared at himself
in the mirror and shook.
Speaker 7: His head cerulean. That's the right shade for the occasion,
somber and understated. It's the one shirt I didn't pack.
Speaker 16: What you're dressed in looks fine. We really need to
get going.
Speaker 7: It's not about the fit.
Speaker 4: The suitcase that Alicia had so carefully packed was now
in disarray. Sean began unbuttoning the Carmen button down dress.
Speaker 7: Shart and this one definitely not right.
Speaker 16: Most people just were black. What's wrong with black?
Speaker 7: It's mockery, the goth thing. I just can't do it.
But what did she like? I don't even know my
own sister.
Speaker 16: You knew her, Sean, You just didn't know her the
past couple of years.
Speaker 7: That's the problem, isn't it. And she didn't even remember me.
I've been so selfish.
Speaker 16: What about something from Darien or Eugene's closet. I'm sure
we can find you something that works.
Speaker 8: Fuck.
Speaker 4: No one other than his reflection hurt him. Why how
could you?
Speaker 17: Why?
Speaker 4: He gripped the edge of the desk that was oddly
placed in the bathroom of the funeral parlor, his anger
was getting the better of him.
Speaker 17: Keep the cool, Max, keep it cool. You need to
chill for Darien, Andrea and Eugene and Matt. Oh God, Matt,
her twin the other half of her soul.
Speaker 7: Shit.
Speaker 4: He sank to the ground, his head in his hands.
A few deep breaths later, Max stood up and straightened
his tie, his cuffs, his hair. His reflection smarked at him.
Speaker 17: Who am I kidding? My hair is always a miss, Matt,
He's always trying to He.
Speaker 4: Broke off that train of thought and turned away from
the mirror. With one last steadying breath. He opened the
door and walked into the hall of the funeral parlor.
He stood in the viewing room, staring at Madeline's coffin.
Eventually he would go in a hearse and onto the graveyard,
where Maddie would be laid to rest alone and in
the dark, well, not completely alone. He made sure to
put a stuffed hamster beside her in memory of that moment.
When they finally connected, Max closed his eyes against the pane.
He wanted to talk to someone, He wanted to know
where to go. The Cane family was out of the question.
They had their own grift to deal with. He opened
his eyes and spotted Chad leaning against a wall, lost
in thought. Chad looked up as Max approached.
Speaker 13: Hey man, yeah, okay, sorry, I know that's a stupid question.
Speaker 4: Max stared at him for a moment before answering, no, yeah, honestly, no, No,
I'm not okay.
Speaker 17: How are any of us? How is any of this okay?
Speaker 4: He gestured the scene around them.
Speaker 17: I don't get it. One minute we're laughing at our graduation,
and next we're putting our friend in the ground like
she's some sort of plant. But plants grow when they're planted, right,
they come back, And she's not coming back. She's never
gonna come back. What the fuck, Chad? What the fuck happened?
Speaker 4: Chad put his arm around Max's shoulder in a sideways hug.
Speaker 13: I know, man, it's fucked up.
Speaker 4: Max jerked away from Chad.
Speaker 17: You don't know, how could you? You didn't know her
like I did, didn't love her like.
Speaker 4: He stopped as he realized what he said.
Speaker 17: I loved her, Oh god, I loved her.
Speaker 4: His head dropped to his chest and he sobbed.
Speaker 13: Yeah, you loved her, You loved her, and you know what?
So did I but no one else.
Speaker 18: It was you who she loved, and you who said
he'd be there for her. So why weren't you there?
Why couldn't you keep one simple promise? You self centered, free,
Why couldn't you keep one simple, shining soul from shattering?
Speaker 13: She was my friend.
Speaker 4: Max felt the anger in him rising, felt his blood
boil and his fists clench. He saw red, he tasted blood.
He felt pain. He felt the need to hit Chad
until he stopped talking. He felt the desperation in his
soul of wanting to disappear until everything was right again.
Speaker 7: He felt.
Speaker 4: He felt the truth of madel is passing.
Speaker 17: Yeah, and she was my fucking moral compass. So you
might want to back the fuck off, Chad. You got
over fast enough for someone who says he loved her.
Speaker 18: Leave Cynthia out of this, Max, It's not my fault.
You weren't man enough to admit how you felt.
Speaker 4: Chad's eyes narrowed, but he took a step back as
Christen came between them.
Speaker 10: The two of you need to calm down right the
fuck now. This is a place for remembering Maddie, not
for letting your testosterone fueled feelings of failure get the
better of you.
Speaker 4: She guided it into an area near the door where
the rest of their group was watching.
Speaker 10: Madeline was something to all of us, Denise, she was
your protege, Max. We all know that she was your
great love. She was the daughter of Eugene and Andrea.
Speaker 4: She was my.
Speaker 17: She was my sister.
Speaker 10: We all loved her, and we all lost her. So
let's stop with the petty bullshit and come together for her,
for those of us left behind, for those of us
who have to go on without her.
Speaker 4: She stopped and looked at each person in the eye,
tears streaming unchecked.
Speaker 10: From her own eyes, say goodbye.
Speaker 4: Somewhere on the Severn River, a fisherman was in a
boat fishing. Suddenly the water started bubbling and an ancient
creature emerged. It was the same creature that Dominator was
supposedly to tear one. The fisherman, startled by this unbelievable sight,
panicked and began to row as fast as he could
to get away from the creature. A loud screech was
heard coming from the water, and a tentacle burst out
of the water and grabbed the fisherman. He was taken
under the water and was immediately eaten by the enormous
squid demon known as Ziraz. It then found its way
to a small beach and hid just out of side
of anyone who may be watching from the shore. Of course,
being that it was pretty close to winter in Saverna Park, Maryland,
there was no one there. This was a problem for
Zerras because he needed to eat. He began to use
his power to communicate with life outside of the water
to lure anybody walking or driving by. In just a
few short hours, there lining up to walk into the
water and sacrifice themselves to this beast. They had been
mind controlled by this enormous squid demon. Zeres Ian Gelsinger
sat in the Boston Commons, a place he went to
clear his head when he needed to think. He had
just been accepted into the Navy and boot camp would
begin next winter. He wasn't sure if this was the
right decision for him or not, but he wanted to
be an engineer and he knew this could be a
fast tracked to success. Ian plucked his guitar strings, playing
songs as he hummed lyrics to himself under the darkness
of night. Not many people were around it this time,
so the usual day chatter was gone. While Ian strummed
his guitar, he heard the plunging of water at drunklets
from the nearby fountain. Ian was excited to put his
engineering knowledge to good use, but a part of him
feared judgment from his peers. He didn't have a good
grasp on what he could do, nor did he know
why or how any of it manifested. Sometimes his hands
would shoot this blue, white, smoldering, glowing stuff, and he
would accidentally hurt people. One time, he got really jealous
of his girlfriend who'd been cheating on him, and ended
up burning a hole in the guy's hand in a fistfight.
Ian had gotten into a lot of trouble for that one,
and he couldn't risk it at boot camp. He also
remembered one time in class and began spacing out and
didn't realize anything was happening until he felt his leg
hit the desk. He realized he was floating, no flying,
he was flying, and once he realized that, he immediately
fell back into his seat. The fear of judgment made
the idea of success seemed too far away, but now
that he had his chance, it didn't seem so far.
He had already developed his suit to help him maintain control,
though it was still in the early developing stages and
could use some more fine tuning. Ian continued contemplating until
a low, gravelly voice interrupted his thoughts.

Ian Gelsinger.
Speaker 4: Ian stopped plucking his strings, making a scratching sound. When
he stopped, Ian turned around to face the voice and
saw a man standing there. The man resumed talking.
Speaker 7: You've a destiny to fulfill good, sir, destiny?
Speaker 4: What destiny?
Speaker 7: A destiny to change the world for the better?
Speaker 13: The world?
Speaker 7: Nay, every universe needs a lot of change, a new
order of peace and freedom and civil rights to give
all life their basic needs and complete a quality in society.
What does this have to do with me? Well, it
turns out that I'm bringing about this new era and
I need a little help. You see, my friend, I
need you, just not all of you.
Speaker 20: You understand, not quite, but I think I get the picture,
and if my destiny is to help you, i'd like
to know what I'm getting myself into.
Speaker 7: First, you, my good friend, will help me and take
out these people who will stop me and kill those
who oppose this new era. It's your purpose in life.
No thanks, you dare oppose me.
Speaker 4: Ian walked past the man with his guitar slung over.
Speaker 7: His shorder Ian Gelsinger.
Speaker 4: Ian stopped and looked back in colde fear.
Speaker 20: I don't like the idea of killing people. I want
peace in equality, but I don't particularly want to hurt anyone.
If you want my help, study Martin Luther King Junior's
teachings First First Peace Dude.
Speaker 4: Nightmare took a step forward and grabbed Ian by the
collar and pushed him to the ground. I wasn't asking,
Ian afraid let his hand grow warmer and warmer. He
grabbed the man by the face, burning his flesh, and
pushed him off, dropping his guitar. Ian took off down
a walking trail towards an exit of the park, hoping
this man wouldn't be able to follow him. While his
face was burned, Ian's hand glowed bright, lighting his way
as he ran down the dimly lit trail. However, the
man caught up with him. The man tackled him to
the ground, pinning him.
Speaker 7: Let me go.
Speaker 4: Ian struggled under the man's weight. The man pulled out
his dagger. Don't worry, your help is greatly appreciated. The
new world you will help me bring about will be
a perfect utopia. Your sacrifice will be read about for
years to come. Nightmare then planted the knife deeply between
the man's shoulder blades, piercing his heart. The blade then
glowed faintly, and Nightmare felt Ian's life force sucked into
his vest, and then Ian's body transformed into energy and dissipated.
Speaker 7: Nightmare's hand glowed, I'm done here. Your help will be
greatly appreciated. Even I hope this partnership is truly beneficial.
Speaker 4: And then Nightmare left. Now I us all captured another
ability he procured Darien was standing in the hallway at
the funeral home writing his eulogy speech. It wasn't doing well.
He could think of lots of nice things to say
about his sister, but most of those things in the
made sense, which was alive. Why was he running the eulogy?
Denise was the speechwriter of their Scooby Gang. Suddenly he
felt an energy surrounding him, penetrating him. It didn't hurt,
but it felt like some form of fire around him.
When he looked at his body through his third eye,
he could see a blue flame surrounding him. When it
was over, he felt a new sense of purpose. For
a moment, he felt an odd presence, but that quickly
went away. He put down the pen and started to
walk toward the exit of the funeral house. Sam saw
Darien leaving in a hurry and tried to stop him.
Speaker 8: Darien, wait, where are you going? The service is going to.
Speaker 4: Start soon, but Darien kept walking. A moment later, Max
spotted him, Darien, where are you going?
Speaker 13: I have to go.
Speaker 4: People need me.
Speaker 17: People here need you more.
Speaker 4: I have to go.
Speaker 17: You have to stay here. We're getting ready to bury
your sister.
Speaker 4: Sorry, got it, run, I'll be back. I just have
to take care of something in Zeverunna Park and where
my cousin lives.
Speaker 17: No, Darien, you can't just run off in the middle
of Maddie's funeral. That's just fucked up.
Speaker 4: Look I don't have a choice. I have to go.
Speaker 17: What the fuck is that's wrong with you? You can't
do this, Max, I can't be here right now.
Speaker 4: Darien pushed past Max and ran out of the building
and began to run faster and faster until he was
out of sight.
Speaker 17: Darien, what the hell is that about?
Speaker 8: Oh, dear, looks like Matt is here.
Speaker 4: Matt's car had just driven into the parking lot. It
was a beat up brown Sadan.
Speaker 8: Max, you have to go after Darien. We need him
here with his brother.
Speaker 17: I need a car. I'm not ready to fly that
far and I can't be seen flying here.
Speaker 8: Take mine. Here are the keys. It's the green nineteen
ninety Ford Taurus.
Speaker 4: Max grabbed the keys and headed for the car. Matt
got out of his beat up Sadan and headed towards Sam.
Speaker 14: Sam.
Speaker 4: Sam was caught off guard by the sound of her
youngest brother's voice.
Speaker 7: How do you remember her, Matt?
Speaker 8: You remember me?
Speaker 14: Of course?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 14: I missed you, sis. Oh is that Darien leaving. Where
was he going in such a rush?
Speaker 17: Not sure?
Speaker 8: He said something about going to the Saverona Park.
Speaker 13: All hung walk.
Speaker 8: Actually Darien can fly, he learned how to recently, but
he just flew off. Max is going to try to
follow him in my car.
Speaker 14: Great, I get stuck with uneven claws and Darien gets
to fly. Life is so unfair getting down to business though.
He need to see Maddie.
Speaker 4: Sam pooled back close, but didn't let go. I'm so sorry, bro,
Matt pulled her closer.
Speaker 14: I wouldn't be able to get through this without you
me either. Where's Sean?
Speaker 8: Not here yet? Let's go inside.
Speaker 4: How could it be possible? Matt remembered Sam and Sean.
This is something that Sam would have to look into
once he returned to the academy. Was Matt different than
Darien in some way?
Speaker 13: Right?
Speaker 8: This way?
Speaker 14: Matt.
Speaker 4: Sam led Matt into the funeral home and brought him
to their parents.
Speaker 16: I really like this one. Your father's suit looks good
on you.
Speaker 4: Sean straightened in the mirror, tightened his gold cuff links,
and added his gold chain to the tope brown suit.
Alicia grabs her purse from the dresser and sighed deeply.
Speaker 16: Shall we go?
Speaker 4: Sean reached for the door, but his hand wouldn't turn
the knob. His hand began to shake.
Speaker 7: No, No, this one isn't right either.
Speaker 4: Wood paneling and Warren Paisley carpet covered the entry wave
of the Stalforf Funeral Home. Andrea and Eugene had been
greeting the visitors as they came to pay their respects.
Speaker 10: We had such a good time at that Cure concert.
Do you remember that, Chad?
Speaker 6: Sure?
Speaker 13: Dude, Matty and I we talked the whole way there
in the back of the DoD's Care of Me.
Speaker 4: Chad began thinking about how that was the night that
he really began having feelings for Maddie. He wanted to
kiss her so badly, but she was so young. Another
part of him knew that Max wanted to date her,
and he couldn't hurt one of his best friends. But
the look in her eyes with her head on his shoulder,
the way she looked up at him, it was like
the whole world was a place that could explore it together.
Maddie ran towards every adventure, so he did what he
thought he should do at the time and focused on
distracting Maddie with stories about the forts he and Darian
used to make in the woods near their house.
Speaker 12: She wanted to hear It's Friday, I'm in love.
Speaker 4: When she did hear it, Andrea began to tear up
and buried her face in Eugene's chest and jacket. Matt
and Sam walked in just then.
Speaker 14: I remember that trip. You were all coming to see
me at reform school up in Philly. Matiddy and Kristen
danced all night long, and when she couldn't see the band,
Chad let her sit on his shoulders. We rocked so hard,
good times.
Speaker 18: She certainly earned some experienced points in this life.
Speaker 4: She missed you so much.
Speaker 14: Is she in there?
Speaker 4: Straight through those doors?
Speaker 13: Son, Let me go with you.
Speaker 14: I'm all right.
Speaker 4: Matt charged directly towards the viewing room, but stopped about
a foot away.
Speaker 13: From the body.
Speaker 4: She's not in there, no son, not anymore. Eugene began
to embrace his youngest son, but was caught off guard
when Matt's claws jabbed him in the thigh.
Speaker 14: What uh, She's not in there.
Speaker 4: Matt began growling and howl. His claws tore Madeline his
coffin pushions into tiny shreads. Her body was nicked with
multiple lacerations, which boozed the multi hell It fluid. Eugene's
combat training kicked in.
Speaker 1: Hello It is Ryan and I was on a flight

Speaker 4: As he attempted to block his youngest son from causing
further on to him and others. Unfortunately, his leg was
punctured and was now bleeding profusely down his suit. Eugene
grabbed his tie and wrapped it around his leg to
stop the bleeding. Chad, Christen and Stams surrounded ugainan matt
something with an inter fight response reactive, and Kristen activated
her shield to protect Metalis, Bottle and Eugene from further part.
Speaker 8: Matt, we're all upset right now, but please try to breathe.
You're going to hurt the rest of your family. I
know that's not what you want. Right now, I'm going
to take mom and dad home to fix up Dad's leg. Kristin,
you stay here with Matt, try to keep him calm.
Chat Maybe you can help. Can you tell Darien about
Matt and then come back and help Matt and Kristin
Sure time.
Speaker 4: Matt swayed back and forth, brimming with kinetic energy. Deep inside,
all he could feel was white hot rage. He knew
that something was wrong. He got Maddie's message at school.
Somehow he figured that when he saw her the body,
he'd know what happened. But instead, this eggshell, this cotton
doll of her body had no remnant of the sister
of whom he shared a soul.
Speaker 14: No, I will find the cause of her anguish and
I will slice them.
Speaker 17: I will cut them.
Speaker 14: I will bust their motherfucking skulls in kept us apart.
Speaker 4: Ah Kristin began to send love energies to Matt while
she maintained a crystal amethyst bubble around him. She knew
that Matt was part of Madeline and could empathize with
his cries of pain.
Speaker 14: If you control Australia from the beginning, it's generally a
good strategy.
Speaker 21: I always thought South America was a better strategy. Risk
is about taking risk, am I right? Can we just
play the game?
Speaker 16: All cadets report to the Amphitheater immediately.
Speaker 15: Hey, guys, I guess we better head over.
Speaker 4: Cynthia opened the reck room door and sync with the announcement.
Speaker 12: I guess Chad isn't back yet.
Speaker 13: Not yet.
Speaker 4: It's been nice having to do them all to myself
Without Darien, Chad, Max, and Christen. The academy seemed less cheerful,
but it was a beautiful day, so it was difficult
to feel mellenialy. The Amphitheater quizzly filled with students. For
some reason, it felt sparse.
Speaker 12: This police seems astronomical without the decorations.
Speaker 15: Sure does, Bodacious, Big you missing Chad, Alt.
Speaker 7: Look Jesse. Ample space for acrobatic hijinks.
Speaker 12: Oh, we're working around it.
Speaker 15: Part of me wants to know, and part of me doesn't.
Speaker 21: Let me tell you about my suit later.
Speaker 7: Don't use the suit for that.
Speaker 12: Ooh, what are you boys up to?
Speaker 7: Quiet? Mister Madison is starting.
Speaker 21: This apitheater appears as if it were built for a
much larger assembly of students.
Speaker 17: When I attended here with Sean and Alisha, there were
definitely a lot more students.
Speaker 4: What happened, I don't know.
Speaker 17: I guess we're here to find out.
Speaker 4: On the other side of the coliseum, a strawberry haired
girl and John Matthews began to make their acquaintance.
Speaker 8: This assembly seems it's important. Looks like the whole school
is here.
Speaker 7: I've got a bad feeling about this.
Speaker 8: Maybe you shouldn't stand too close. I invite disaster. The
scars they were from botany class.
Speaker 4: John reviewed the arc like scars along the girl's face
and neck.
Speaker 7: Tell me more.
Speaker 8: Let's just say I got intimate with the blitzen ast
rings like a Tesla coil, but vibrates the body like
electro shock.
Speaker 4: John ran his index finger along hard chin and smiled broadly.
Speaker 7: Let's call them battle scars.
Speaker 8: I'm John, I'm Elizabeth lives for short.
Speaker 7: Nice to meet you. Maybe I'll live long enough to
get some of the battle scars with my own.
Speaker 4: Jake Madison took the stage and waved his hand to
everyone in the crowd.
Speaker 15: Good afternoon, cadets and faculty. I stand here today to
deliver some grave news. As you're aware, the Academy was
attacked during the Cadet Ball by the Renegades. We lost
a significant number of staff and students, and many are missing.
It's even possible that some of your friends and favorite
instructors are now your enemies. No, not possible, inevitable. At
this point, we know from the footage captured that several
dozen or sired. We also know that the attacks are
not going to stop. We've received some information that will
help us prepare for future attacks. Looks like the Renegades
plan to assault multiple dimensions with several new threats, one
of which is a genocidal killer named Oblivion. He carries
an eye on canon that can obliterate anything in its path. Also,
the Academy will be on full lockdown. No one goes
in or out without strict security measures. With that in mind,
we're going to fast track your combat and practical application training.
You're here because you represent the best of the best
recruiters from your planets found that your skills could help
the United Alliance of Dimensions in protecting the galaxy.
Speaker 7: So, Jet, are you ready to prep these cadets.
Speaker 21: To be honest, Jake, I'd rather be touring North America's
terror one lungaburger basket factors.
Speaker 7: With my wife Susie.
Speaker 21: Seriously, though, Cadets, you are ready, You'll be assigned to
a partner whose skills complement your own. You'll be tested
against one another in various mental, psionic and physical challenges.
Next week you'll receive your assignments or your tablet PCs.
If you need any help, Fred Sanders can get you sorted.
Speaker 4: Cadets.
Speaker 14: Are you ready to train for the fight of your lives?
Speaker 7: I can't hear you. Yes, I still can't hear you. Yes.
Speaker 21: Okay, then let's go get some renegade.
Speaker 4: Ass Convincing Divina to grant him leave was not easy
with the academy on lockdown, but as the closest friend
of Eugene and Andrea, she approved of Edward Mahage's request.
As he pulled into the parking lot, he spotted a
man wearing an eyepatch that he thought he recognized, so
he went over immediately to make his condolences.
Speaker 6: Hi I'm Edward Mahague, close friend of Eugene and Andrea.
You seem familiar.
Speaker 7: Have we met? Good to make your acquaintance a Madeline's
I was Maddie's teacher, Christopher Davidson. I don't remember you.
Speaker 6: I'm actually an instructor as well history.
Speaker 7: Maybe you can introduce me to everyone I've never met
her parents.
Speaker 6: Sure, yes, of course.
Speaker 4: The sign at the front of the small prayer Tackel read.
Viewing two to four pm, Madeline, Kane, Eddie Mahague, and
mister Davidson walked right in.
Speaker 6: Kristen, is everything okay? Where is everyone?
Speaker 7: Matt?
Speaker 14: Is that you?
Speaker 4: By this time, Matt was tied to a chair with
his hands behind his back. Kristin and Chad used a
metal bicycle chain.
Speaker 7: To wrap his arms.
Speaker 4: To an onlooker, it would appear that Matt simply had
his hands.
Speaker 7: Behind his back.
Speaker 10: Professor Maheigue, how kind of you to come.
Speaker 4: Kristen began to usher Eddie to the side of the room.
Speaker 10: We have an obsidian situation here, sir.
Speaker 13: Why don't you come with me? We can find your
Simmary refreshments.
Speaker 10: I see Alicia and Sean are not here yet. Andreya
and Eugene had to go back home. Matt had an
incident when he saw Maddie.
Speaker 7: Excuse me. I know that I was just Madeline's teacher,
but she confided in me that she missed her twin.
Are you Matt? Hey? Do you guys mind if I
spend a few minutes with Matt.
Speaker 17: Chad, you go.
Speaker 10: Ahead with Professor Mahague. I'll stay with I'm sorry, who
are you?
Speaker 7: I'm Christopher Davidson. I was one of Maddie's teachers.
Speaker 10: Nice to meet you. I'll stay with Matt and mister Davidson.
Speaker 4: Christens stayed on guard duty and gave Matt a piercing stare,
letting him know that if he got out of hand,
she'd be there to stop. She stepped out of earshot
to give them some privacy. We kept her eyes directly
on Matt. Mountains of clothes weighed heavy on the guest bed.
Sean was now dressed in a gray suit.
Speaker 16: Sean, sometimes you have to accept that you don't have
the right outfit for the occasion because well, because the
occasion isn't right.
Speaker 12: Huh.
Speaker 16: It's an event no one wants to go to. You
don't want to say goodbye to her getting dressed means
that she's really gone, and you did know her. Sean,
don't you remember the long nights we spent at the
Academy talking about how much you missed home. That game
you and Sam played with me and Maddie that you
made up about the Labyrinth movie?
Speaker 4: Sean smiled with this memory.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, how's the Goblin King Jariff, Matt and.

Speaker 7: They were the infant babies I would steal from Sam.
We may pillow him blank at forts all over the house.
Darien always ended up playing some superhero or rescue the twins.
Speaker 4: Suddenly, Sean graved Alisha and cried deeply into her shoulder,
finally releasing some of the grief he held in since
the heart the news about ten minutes yes later, Sean
looked up at Alicia.
Speaker 7: Thank you for being patient with me and saying exactly
what I needed to hear. Sorry about your dress.
Speaker 16: I guess it's my turn to change.
Speaker 4: Darien was running faster and faster, and then he decided
that he had to get where he was going quicker,
so he took off into the air and began flying
to the front apart. It was over Howard County when
he almost got zapped by lightning. It was a major
close call, but this did not deter him from flying.
As he flew closer to Enronald County, the weather got worse,
unnaturally worse. It was getting difficult to fly, so Darian
flew above the clouds. The air was thin and very cold,
but Darien's determination to get where he was going was unyielding.
He would not be dissuaded. Then, as he arrived over
the running Park, he noticed that the weather was much worse.
He looked around, and after a few minutes he saw
what was happening. There was a rift open in the
middle of the Severn River off the shore of his
as its neighborhood, Carrollton matter A huge squid looking thing
had obviously come through it, and for some reason people
were just walking right into the water and into the
clutches of the squid. Darian realized that he had to
get the creature back through the rift somehow before it closed.
He just wasn't sure how to do it. I'm Matt,
I'm mister Davidson, Mattie's English teacher. The raw emptiness inside
of matt was so overwhelming. Despite the friendliness of this introduction,
no muscle in his face could be brupt to movement.
All he felt was sour acony.
Speaker 7: You know, Mattie wrote a lot about her kinship with you.
That's a twin You must feel this loss more than
anyone else in your family. The poems and stories she
wrote were always twin stories.
Speaker 4: Mister Davidson looked behind the chair and saw Matt's claws
chained to the feet of the antique Edwardian chair.
Speaker 7: You were special, like Mattie.
Speaker 4: This comment broke Matt's listlessness, and he looked into mister
Davids's eyes questioningly, almost accusatory.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I know you are. He had quite the reaction,
as I can see from her casket. I can help you,
you know, control your anger. He used to let my
anger control me. I had to learn how to shut
my emotions off like a faucet.
Speaker 14: I haven't had my emotions under control in quite a while.
Speaker 7: When I came into the room, did you sense it
all that you knew me? Actually? Yeah, I feel like
I wanted to trust you, but not sure why. Sometimes
in life you meet people who become mentors, guides. They
help you become the person you're meant to be. And
who do you think I am? You have the potential
for greatness no matter which side you choose. I'm hoping
that if we work together, we can stop the prophecy. Huh.
You and Maddie, your powers attracted a third eye of
Agano demon. Name it yourseth. How the hell do you
know this? Let's just say that I was hoping to
protect Maddie. If you work with me, then maybe we
can stop this demon from getting you and the rest
of your family.
Speaker 14: Holy ship falls. I knew there was a reason why Mattie.
Speaker 4: Contacted me at school.
Speaker 7: When did she contact you the same days she That's
what I figured. Look, we don't have much time. We
need to keep this on the DL. I'll contact you
in a couple of days to figure out how we
can protect you and your family. Okay, one more thing,
See if you can find anything about this message. It's
the only thing I have on Erisa.
Speaker 4: The man with the eyepatch handed Matt a tiny slip
of paper with just one small paragraph of ready. As
Matt spoke the eerie words, needles ran up and down
a spot.
Speaker 14: Twin will be scrambled inside its shell, lead in a basket,
and end up isolated. When a set of twins leaves
the nest, one will find a new egg. If the
egg is broken, it will cause this egg to rout
and attack the other eggs. All it does mention a twin.
Sean and Sam are twins too. Look around Maddie's room
and see what I can find.
Speaker 7: Good idea. Excuse me, I'm going to talk to your
sister now. Make sure she's okay with us, keeping in touch.
Probably best to keep the demon stuff under wraps for now.
Got it?
Speaker 14: Hey, thanks for you know, the talk and everything.
Speaker 7: Of course I'm here to help. Excuse me.
Speaker 4: The man wearing an eye patch felt so familiar to Sam.
The black trash cud he wore was pulled up around
his neck when she turned to look at him. It
confused her as it broke her grief.
Speaker 8: I'm sorry, my sister, she.
Speaker 4: Samantha kept looking into the man's one visible eye. It
mesmerized her.
Speaker 7: I no, I'm sorry. I wanted to lend my condolences.
I'm Christopher Davidson, Matt Lynne's English teacher.
Speaker 8: Yes, yes you are. I'm sorry. I'm Samantha, Madeline's sister.
Thank you for coming.
Speaker 7: Of course, I'm here to help. Maddie was a very
good writer. She'll be missed greatly by her friends at school.
I was helping her to get some of her poetry
ready for publishing. I hope you'll consider letting me help
you get it published.
Speaker 8: Wow, Okay, yeah, I didn't know she wrote any poetry.
My career has me traveling a lot. I should have
known her better.
Speaker 7: We never know when these things will happen. But I
should have.
Speaker 8: Been there more for her work. Isn't everything? I mean,
my job is really important, but I barely knew her.
Speaker 7: Maybe you could spend some time with Matt while you're here.
They were so close.
Speaker 8: I'm not sure why I'm telling you all of this.
Speaker 7: It's okay, Madeline men a lot to me too. I
had the feeling I would be needed here today.
Speaker 8: I'm glad you came.
Speaker 4: Sam let the tears fall. She shared probably a little
too much about her personal and professional life with this
kind stranger with the eyepatch. Without Jake here, it was
nice to have someone she could talk to, and even better,
someone who knew Maddy the good parts of her. Darien
launched himself into the sky again and flew closer to
the creature to get a better look. There was a
capsized fishing boat, and Darien could see that the creature
was eating people. There was a line of people on
the beach across the river walking into the water.
Speaker 13: To be eaten.
Speaker 4: They must be hypnotized. I have to stop this, said,
suddenly felt angry. This thing didn't belong there, and Darien wanted,
no needed to end it. He rushed into the water
and punched it in the head. His fist bounced off
the creature, having done little damage to it. He did, however,
get its attention. It screeched at him and attempted to
grab him with a large tentacle. Darian flew out of
the water and then went for an exposed piece of
the creature's head. He flew close and punched it again.
This time it grabbed him with a tentacle and began
to squeeze the life out of him. Darian tapped his communicator,
but he couldn't make a sound. Max was driving towards
the Runna Park when he heard a small click in
his ear from miscommunicator. He tapped the spot directly under
his ear where the communicator was.
Speaker 17: It says Max, go ahead.
Speaker 4: The communicator was silent. Something was wrong. He continued to
drive towards the run Of Park as that was where
the signal was coming from.
Speaker 16: We're here.
Speaker 7: Finally, would you try not to sound so fucking snarky
all the time?
Speaker 16: What I've been pampering you all flipping day and now
I'm not allowed to be the slightest bit sarcastic.
Speaker 7: No, my sister just fucking died. Give me a fucking break.
Speaker 16: Well, excuse me for having feelings of my own.
Speaker 4: Alicia turned off the car and fled up the stage
to the eventor. Sean walked quickly after her, while stomping
his feet. Sean and mister Davidson brushed shoulders as they
crossed on the stairway. Each looked familiar to the other,
but they both turned away quickly, eager to get where
they were going.
Speaker 7: Excuse me, no problem.
Speaker 4: Using the tracking element in the communicator, Max was able
to use Darien's embedded communicator to track him down. Once
Max arrived to the small beach on the Severn River shore,
he immediately saw the squid demon squeezing the life out
of Darien. He acted quickly and flew over to the
creature and faced part way into the tentacle that was
holding Darien, and then became a salad which cut off
the tentacle. Darien fell into the water. Max after Darien
pulled him out of the very murky water. He flew
Darien into the shore and set him down, then looked
him over. Darien had a few section marks on his
chest where the clothing had been torn off. What was
otherwise fun?
Speaker 17: You ready to get back out there? Help me handle
this step.

Speaker 4: Yeah, just see to catch my breath. Let's do this.
The two of them launched into the air and went
back from the the frame. Darien Len had a few
semi effective punches and Max phase through different parts of
the beast, cutting off more tentacles the squid demon he
got angrier and grabbed Darien with two of its remaining
tentacles and started to pool in the opposite directions. Darien
was being stretched beyond his limits. Max saw this and
immediately flew into the tentacles and unfazed and cut them off.
It worked, It dropped Darien and Darien flew about one
hundred meters in the opposite direction. He activated his communicator,
Maxwell Knight, what are.
Speaker 17: You calling me for? We're in the middle of the
fight of our lives here.
Speaker 4: I'm going to get some distance from that thing and
then ram it at my top flying speed. If you
do the same, we may be able to push this
thing back through the rift get it into position and
on my signal, we ran that thing back into the
hell dimension that came from.
Speaker 17: Yeah, I got you.
Speaker 4: Max flew about one hundred meters away from the creature, then,
when signaled, he flew as fast as he could towards
the squid demon. Darien headed there at a pretty substantial
speed as well. They both hit the thing and pushed
it back through the rift. As it was almost through,
it swiped at Darien and knocked him under the shore.
Darien was out cold. Max finished pushing it through the
rift and watched as the rift closed. Max flew to
where Darien landed and checked on him. Darien, you're okay?
Darien was still out cold. Max not as a fading
red mark on Darien's forehead. He also realized Darien wasn't breathing.
Speaker 17: Darien, you better wake the fuck up. I'm not gonna
bury you and Madeline both today.
Speaker 4: Max got in a position to start CPR, but before
he could do anything, Darien woke up. Oh man, what
the hell was that? I feel weird? The red mark
on Darien's head had faded completely away, giving no evidence
of any wound from the fight.
Speaker 17: Oh fuck, thank god, think you have another ability? What
do you mean you weren't responding. A minute ago. You
weren't breathing or responding. I think you were actually dead.
How do you feel now?
Speaker 4: Sore, in a bit achy, but otherwise I think I'm
a okay. Then there was a point where I think
I couldn't feel my legs or really the rest of
my body, but I feel them now. I don't think
anything's broken either, but I definitely can't fly right now.
I might be too disited walk.
Speaker 17: Looks like you're gonna heal pretty fast. Must be nice.
Speaker 4: Nothing about that was nice? Did we win?
Speaker 17: I got that fucker through the rift and then the
rift closed.
Speaker 4: Darien looked back out at the river where the creature
was before. Glad, that's over. Let's get back to the funeral.
Did you drive here or fly?
Speaker 17: I drove Sam's car. I didn't want to fly here
like you did. What the hell were you thinking coming
here by yourself?
Speaker 4: Darien looked down at his beaten body, and then looked
up sheepishly at his best front. Let's get into the
car and get back. I have a feeling you're not
the only one who was looking for me. Max flew
Darien over to the opposite side of the river where
he had parked, and then drove them toward the funeral home.
Speaker 8: You seem better.
Speaker 14: I'm feeling Homer thanks to mister Davidson.
Speaker 8: He's a nice guy. Help me too. Who's that one
of Mattie's teachers is here?
Speaker 14: Oh good, I'm going to help Maddie. This isn't her fault.
She didn't know what she was doing. She really didn't, Matt.
Speaker 7: Now that Mattie has passed, we need to remember to
speak about her in the past tense, otherwise we won't
be able to grieve.
Speaker 14: But what if, I mean, never mind, Everything's gonna be
okay when this is all over. We can have a
big family dinner and Mom and Dad will be so
much better.
Speaker 7: Did you take drugs?
Speaker 14: Hum? Yeah, I just knocked back a couple of pans. Now,
really I didn't, Or maybe I did.
Speaker 4: Matt laughed hysterically. It echoed throughout the room.
Speaker 7: We need to get our little brothers some help.
Speaker 8: I think we could help him control his abilities at
the academy.
Speaker 7: You know that's a pipe dream. Uad would never allow it.
Speaker 8: Okay, fine, I'll take some time off to help him out,
teach him what I've learned and.
Speaker 7: May be advisable. He's certainly fractious physically and mentally. I'm
not sure that reform school has helped.
Speaker 13: Him at all.
Speaker 4: Madeline took a moment to steady herself, the trip through
the portal having disoriented her. She inhale, deeply lifted her head,
then stopped breathing altogether. There less than twenty feet in
front of her lay what her brain told her was
a dragon. She shifted backwards, preparing to flee, and in
doing so stirred the strange air around her. This caused
the dragon's chromatic scales to shift in color. Her heart
leaped in her throat. When the beast's nostrils flared and
its tail switched in agitation, Mattie tends to run, but
stop when the tail moved again, revealing a recognizable, if
battered face.
Speaker 9: Jake, Oh shit.
Speaker 4: Mattie's cry seemed to echo through the air, and for
a brief moment time froze, but the sound diminished away
without any further movement from the dragon.
Speaker 9: Follow the creature, you said, go through that on an
im portal. You said, Jake's counting on you, you said,
who said, oh yeah, I said, silly me.
Speaker 13: So now what.
Speaker 4: Mattie paused a moment, then steeled herself. She crept towards
the dragon.
Speaker 9: Okay, Maddie, you've got this. Get around the dragon, grab Jake,
and run off into this weird void place that you
know absolutely nothing about. Oh man.
Speaker 4: Jake was lying on his side beside the creature, his
feet towards Maddie. She had gotten close enough to grab
his boot, and she felt something warm brush against her
left cheek. She chanced looking up into Jake's face and
saw three eyes staring back at her. Two were with
fear and set in a face covered in dirt and scratches.
The other was once a bright silver orb that was
now a ruined mass as it had been pierced by
an arrow, her arrow. The dragon seemed to be blind
in that eye, as it was trying to smell rather
than see her. However, it still had another good eye
as it raised its head high above hers and began
turning its functioning eye towards her. Maddie grabbed Jake's boot
and pulled him across the ground away from the dragon.
Speaker 9: Get up, get up, get up, get up, Come on, Jake,
We've got to go.
Speaker 4: Jake was trying to raise himself, but the pain in
his side a result of the dragon carrying him off,
kept him from moving. Mattie's eyes filled with tears as
Jake collapsed back onto the ground.
Speaker 15: Just go I obviously can't go anywhere, and there's no
sense in both of us dying.
Speaker 4: They both looked to where the dragon was watching them.
This made Mattie angry.
Speaker 9: You're giving up, you asshole, You fucking asshole. You're giving
up and staying here to die, and you're just going
to leave me all alone again, you asshole. Well, you
know what, I came here to rescue you, and that's
exactly what I'm going to do, you big bitch. So
put on your big girl panies, grab on to me,
get on your feet, and let's get the hell out
of here.
Speaker 4: Mattie pulled on Jake's arm and he cried out in pain.
She pulled again, but stopped when it became clear that
Jake wasn't going to be able to move. She sat
on the ground and put her back against what felt
like a wall. She looked around, noticing small changes in
the scenery, things that were starting to look familiar, like
trees in the distance. With the small rocks on the
ground by her feet. She also noticed that the dragon
wasn't moving. In fact, it had its head slightly turned,
staring straight at her. With its remaining eye. It almost
looked confused. Well, come on, Madeline stood up, Come and
get it over with.
Speaker 9: Here you go, a nice, juicy he bit, a human
girl fresh from the farm. Come and get me. I
got a lot less grizzled than Jakie.
Speaker 8: Boy over here.
Speaker 7: Hey, I'm not that old.
Speaker 5: Shut up.
Speaker 9: I'm mad at you, and if we're going to get eaten,
the last thing I want to hear is you complaining
about how.
Speaker 17: Old you are.
Speaker 4: Maddie waved her arms.
Speaker 9: Hello, I'm right here, you big, scaly yet surprisingly pretty monster.
Speaker 17: Come and get me.
Speaker 13: Yum yum.
Speaker 4: Jake stared up at her and shook his head, so
Maddie noticed was the dragon. It wasn't precisely shaking its head, though.
It sniffed towards Jake, then sniffed at Mattie, stopped, then
did it again. It's good eye why as it took
two steps closer, then repeated the process. Even Mattie stopped
at her baiting of the creature to watch. When it
got to three feet away. It sniffed Jake's shirt, and
Jake witched, expecting the next thing he felt to be teeth,
but instead, the dragon moved its snout to a defiant
Mattie and inhaled at the front of her chest.
Speaker 9: Hey, watch it, buddy.
Speaker 4: The snout pressed against her and roamed over her chest.
It nudged her, and she fell over next to Jake.
Speaker 7: Again.
Speaker 15: You were in just inviting it to eat you, and
now you're admonishing it for getting fresh.
Speaker 4: He continued to shake his head as Mattie blushed. The
dragon nudged Mattie again, this time pushing her away from Jake.
She scooted back towards her friend, but a tail came
between them and swatted Jake away from Mattie. Jake cried
out in pain.
Speaker 7: Again.
Speaker 4: Hey, Madeline grabbed the creature's huge jaw in both her hands.
Speaker 9: You want me, you take me, but you leave him alone.
Speaker 4: She held on with all of her strength, expecting the
dragon to finally take a bite out of her, But
then her eyes opened wide with astonishment. There was something happening.
Her hands had gathered some of the strange bluish air
around them, and a soft light was starting to pulse
around them. The dragon too had stilled the two of them.
Dragon and human stared at each other, everything else seeming
to fade out of existence. As she watched, the destroyed
eye reformed and took on the same silvery sheen the
other eye had, and at the same time she felt
the pressure of her injured leg lessen and disappear. She
found a nudge in her mind, not unlike when the
dragon nudged her chest. In Madelene's mind, she could hear
the dragon's voice. He said, it's you, but there was
no voice, only in understanding that passed between Madeline and
Fafter faft Near.
Speaker 9: Your name is Faffnar, and you're a dragon, or at
least that's the closest thing that I'd be able to understand.
Speaker 4: She looked at Jake, who was struggling to set up.
Speaker 9: He was looking for me this whole time. He thought
it was you, but only because we've always been together.
When he came to get his what she.
Speaker 4: Looked back at faft Near and a moment passed.
Speaker 9: Apparently, I'm kind of like his soulmate. He's been looking
for me ever since I was able to open portals,
and he took you by mistake. He figured out that
you weren't the person he was looking for when you
weren't able to heal him.
Speaker 4: She looked in awe at her hands.
Speaker 9: When we touched, it was like he was me and
I was him. We just flowed into each other. We're connected,
and we were able to heal each other.
Speaker 17: See.
Speaker 4: She rolled her ankle around, showing you, Jake, that it
no longer hurt her. He thought occurred to her, and
she walked over to Jake. She placed her hands over
his ribs and thought about that glowing blue light and
tried to heal his injuries. She grew more aggravated by
the moment as nothing happened. Then Fafnir placed his head
on her shoulder. Jake stiffened, then relaxed as a warmth
spread throughout his torso. When the light faded, Maddie and
Fafnir moved back and looked at Jake, who stood carefully.
He moved from side to side, stretching his arms above
his head, then at the waist. He wins when he
leans toward the injured side and still smiled.
Speaker 15: I'm sore, and the side that had the most damage
still hurts. A bit, but Mattie, most of my pain
is gone, thank you both of you.
Speaker 4: Mattie smiled at Jake.
Speaker 9: Faffener says not to get used to it, and that
you smell funny.
Speaker 15: Oh, the giant lizard says, I smell funny.
Speaker 4: Ha ha. Jake looked around at the area that seemed
to be changing before his eyes. His vision skimmed over
what to him looked like foothills and valleys and a
cops of trees there in the background. Madeleine noticed him looking.
Speaker 9: It's the ethereal realm Fafnir says. He says it doesn't
have a stable form per se, but it's completely dependent
on the person or being seeing it, basically that their
thoughts helped to give it form. He also says that
we might want to find another place to be soon.
We're not the only things here.
Speaker 4: She looked at the horizon where greenish lightning was flickering.
This she took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and
cupped her hands in front of her. As she parted them,
Jake saw the most stable portals she had ever opened
take form, and through it he saw home. Darien and
Max were just getting to the grave site. It was
getting dark out, and they knew they would be in
trouble for missing most of the viewing, but Darian didn't
feel like he had a choice. He had stopped turning
to change his clothes, and his wounds were almost all
the way healed, which he found odd, but he didn't
have time to question it. He changed into an all
black suit and cleaned himself up a bit so he
wouldn't look so out of place at the grave site.
Once there, they got out of the car and walked
to where everyone was gathering. It was cold, but the
cold never really bothered Darien. Max was wearing a heavy
coat and so were the rest of the guests. Darian
did look a bit out of sorts, and the fact
that he wasn't wearing a coat made him the odd
man out. Eugene spotted Darien first.
Speaker 13: Darien, where the hell have you been? You missed the viewing?
Speaker 18: There were people who wanted.
Speaker 13: To see you.
Speaker 4: Sorry, Dad. I had to fly to Carrollton, Manterans to
run a park. There was this giant squid thing and
it was eating people. We had to stop it.
Speaker 17: It was huge, sir. We couldn't actually kill it, but
we drove it back through the rift that it opened.
It's another world's problem.
Speaker 22: Now, this is not the day to go off and
fight a big beast. For the love of God, we're
bearing your sister today, Darien, this is unacceptable. There are
other heroes in this world. You should have contacted the
UAD immediately when you saw that thing. It is not
your responsibility to save everyone, especially on the day we're
bearing your sister.
Speaker 4: Dad, I'm sorry. I didn't have a choice. It was
like I was called down there, I was pulled. Something
hit me earlier. I felt this amazing energy, and when
it was done, I felt the artists got a carolt
the matter and stop this big demon. But I was
lucky Max followed me, because if he hadn't, I would
have been eaten. For sure. I suffered some pretty bad injuries,
but miraculously I'm almost all the way heilled.
Speaker 12: Now.
Speaker 4: Andrea had walked over to where Darien, Max and your
Gene were and had heard the last part of what
Darien said.
Speaker 12: You mean to tell me that on the day we're
putting Maddie in the ground, you risked your life.
Speaker 17: We could have lost you too.
Speaker 12: What were you thinking, No, don't answer, you weren't thinking Darien.
If you still live with us, you would be grounded
for a very long time. We can't actually take any
action against you for this, but just know we are
very upset with you.
Speaker 14: Mom.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, but those people needed help and that's what
I'm training for at the academy. Look, we don't get
that have normal lives in this family.
Speaker 22: It's not just that you went off by yourself to
face this thing without knowing. If you could defeat it
on your own and Max hadn't, you'd be dead.
Speaker 12: You need to learn to work together as a team.
If it was that bad, you should have brought Chad
and Kristen too. They have abilities that could have helped you.
You can't do this alone, not ever again. Do you
understand me?
Speaker 4: Max put his hand on Darien's shoulder.
Speaker 17: Well, I'm glad I showed up when I did. I'm
gonna go talk to Christian and Chad and let them
know what happened. They have a right to know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, go ahead, hey, Max, Yeah, thanks for your help.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Max walked over to the gathering around the coffin. Darien
turned his attention toward his parents. You're right, I can't
face these kinds of monsters on my own. Next time,
I'm bringing the whole gang.
Speaker 13: Come on, let's go bury your sister.
Speaker 4: Eugene put his arm around Darien's shoulders as they all
walked over to the gravesite.
Speaker 12: No, I wasn't Madeline's best friend. In fact, she held
a grudge against me for a while because of what
I did to our friend Chad. But that's all in
the past now. Strangely, there was a note in Maddie's
room the black dress that she's wearing in the casket,
which says or my funeral, and below that she wrote
Denise will do the eulogy. I guess that's good because
Darien didn't have time to write anything. Mattie was a
very stubborn young woman. Guess there was a part of
her that was too stubborn to let her live. And
now each and every one of us will have to
go on living in this world without her, as if
she doesn't exist, when we know that a part of
her always will. Sharp of her soul flew into mind
when she lost her life to suicide, and this will
hurt for a very long time. We may never recover
from her absence in our life. But as we lay
her physical body into the ground. We will know that
she is no longer struggling with a voice inside her
telling us that she is not worthy. Madeline made an
impact on each and every one of us. That's why
we are here to celebrate her life, not to mourn it.
We spend every month women of our lives after this
one missing her, we won't really be living our own life.
So from this day fourth, I challenge you to not
spend your time wishing she was here, because you'll never
be the person you are meant to be. Remember the
good times that you had with her, think of her fondly,
and let the rest go. Live your life to the
fullest and be the people you are meant to be
and carry Maddie with you always. That's what Maddie would want.
It's going to be okay. I know it's going to
be okay because those who matter the most to us
never really go away. They will always remain in our
hearts and our memories.
