Chapter 14:
The Sleeping Dragon
On the bank of canada, and at night, all while jake and company was doing something in france and england..
"Sir, are you sure you want to do this?" Ibrahim said as he was searching for something
They were now inside a vault, where its just him and jonah, with jonah having all the guards outside under his control.
"Yes im sure. In order to defeat jake burns and the system itself, i would need more power." Jonah
"I see. If its more power you need, then this will be the thing for you." Ibrahim said as he handed over 2 power stones
"Good, this is good. Though what are these?" Jonah
"They will be the key to ultimate power that you seek, or that we seek." Ibrahim said with a smile
“hello”
“hello there, who is this?” jake
It was morning now and jake just got up in his hotel room, down at le treport, right before his mission against the gorgon and the wendigo.
“this is the queen speaking to you jake burns, and on important matters.”
“your highness, what may be the matter?”
“its about the team that general scott sent to deal with the monsters here in england.”
“oh, the team sent by that no good general. What of it?”
“you see, they failed at their mission. And im hoping that you would come back here to deal with our problem.”
“sure, but what will happen to that no good general?”
“what are you saying jake? Who is no good?”
“he didn’t tell you, did he?”
“i mean, no. What do you mean jake? Please elaborate.”
“he disrespected me and my colleagues by saying that we should obey him since I am just a filipino.”
“oh, I am so very sorry about what he said jake. I was only told that you arrived and left, nothing more.”
“well, there you have it your majesty, so what will you do?”
“i will surely take proper measures to this, rest assured. So can you kindly get back here and eliminate these monsters?”
“sure, I will. But im still in the middle of an operation with my team, so that will have to wait.”
“i see. Maybe once you have done with that mission then. But please do hurry up, these monsters might take over england for all we know.” the queen said with her shaking voice
“i understand, and I will get to it once im done with subjugating the gorgon in europe.”
“what?! the gorgon you say?!”
“yes your majesty.”
“i have no comment at all about the current situation. Just get here as fast as you can alright?”
“yes, I will. And can I ask who was the members on that team?”
“according to the report, it was natasha sparks and dr tod treau, with a frankenstein.”
“what?! you say natasha was there?!”
“yes. What of it?”
“she was one of my students and one of the volunteers of the joint mutant activation operation.”
“i see. It must be hard to hear your student--”
Jake cuts her off, “yes, but this only makes the mission a little bit more harder.”
“why?”
”because we also have to rescue her in the process.”
“well, I believe in you and that you can do it. You were chosen by god right?”
“i am one of the chosen, though I don’t think I can do everything solo. Which is why I have company now.”
“oh, alright then. i will see to the mission briefing myself so I will see you here when you can finally come.”
“yes, I will.” jake said before the queen cuts the line. “hahh.. from one problem to another.”
After that, he then goes to paipai and ai who were on the room next door, to explain the situation.
“what? The queen called you personally?” ai said as she was on her bed
“yes, she did.” jake said standing at the side
“so, what now?” paipai said as she just got out of the shower with jake looking
“ahem!” ai said to get their attention. “so we go to help them right jake?”
“yes, of course. But this would also become a rescue mission.” jake
“why?” both of them asked
“because natasha has been captured by them.” jake
“what?!” both of them said
“I don’t know if shes still alive or not, but thats now included in our to do list.” jake
“all because she was stuck with an incompetent commander.” paipai said with concern as she dries her hair
“anyways, lets all just focus on todays mission, before we should be concerned with england.” ai
“which is why im thinking, if we can finish gorgon now, we can still go towards england and finish up there as well. Do you girls agree?” jake
“yes, I will go with you wherever you shall go.” ai
“count me in. though I cant say im thrilled about the idea, we basically have no other option right?” paipai
“yes. As far as we can tell, the real enemy right now is unknown, though we have an idea who it might be.” jake
“the nazis.” both of them said
“anyways, we should probably focus on the enemies in front of us, for now.” ai said as they agree
“we should probably get changed, can you let us change for a while jake?” paipai
“sure, no problem.” jake said as he gets out of the room
After the women changed clothes, and after breakfast, they then go towards the camp where the soldiers are waiting for them.
”is our ride ready?” jake said to anton who was commanding the troops on what to do
“yes, your driver should be right outside camp, waiting for you guys.” anton
"Oh, ok then." Jake
"And are you sure you will be ok on your own?" Anton said looking at jake
"Yes, by myself, no. Which is why i have a team with me." Jake
"Alright jake, good luck." Anton said before they agreed and gone towards the exit
After a while, they then spotted a woman cleaning a jeep, while they walk around the exit.
"Excuse me, are you private allete fontaine?" Ai said to the woman
"Yes, i am. Are you with jake burns?" Allete said as she stopped cleaning
"Jake! I found her!" Ai said at the distance where jake was asking some soldiers
"Oh, there is jake burns. The first superhero." She said out of nervousness as he and paipai now walks towards them
"Dont be too nervous ms allete, hes just one of those ordinary guys at the corner." Ai
"How can i not be? When he is very famous, even among the poor people of france. He gives us hope you know, that someone as ordinary as him is chosen." Allete
"As jake said before, that the gods will always choose without bias, unlike humans. And when you actually know his story, you wont see some things the same way again, probably." Ai
"Really?" Allete
"Yes. He may be like an idol now, but i swear that he is as ordinary as everybody else." Ai
"What were you girls discussing?" Jake said as they arrived
"Nothing, just us having girl talk. Anyways, shall we go?" Ai
"S-sir jake! Im one of your biggest fans! Can i please have your sign?" Allete said with a bow
"Oh, sure. Where do i sign?" Jake said with a smile
Allete then looks for a pen and paper.
"If you cant find anything, you can have my handkerchief if you like." Jake said giving out his hanky
"Oh! That would be great! If only i had any pen with me." Allete
"Haha, no worries ms allete. Shall we go now?" Jake
"Alright then." Allete said as she climbs at the jeep
"Are you sure to come with us ms allete? The mission may be dangerous." Paipai said as they also climb the jeep
"Yes, it would be an honor to fight alongside the great jake burns." Allete
"Dont always expect too much ms allete, reality may not always be as what you seem it to be." Jake
"Got it. Though what could go wrong? With jake burns with us, it would be a piece of cake!" Allete said turning on the engine in bliss
"Hahh.. you shouldnt say those words so casually." Paipai said as the 3 of them face palms
With the ever joyful allete driving them, they then head towards what remains of paris, where everyone is either turned to stone or killed by one another.
"Remember the plan alright jake, as we agreed on. You take on the gorgon while we take on the wendigo." Ai said as they agree
Jake was sitting besides the driver while the 2 girls were at the back of the jeep.
"And remember what future me said, be careful of the gorgon." Paipai
"Yes, i will. Which is why we will end this by going all out in the first place." Jake
"Also, remember the traits of the gorgon jake." Ai
"Yes, the gorgon turns anyone to stone with one look of her eyes, and the only way to kill it is to decapitate her." Jake
"And what about the wendigo?" Allete said as she was still driving
The wendigo will probably possess anyone who comes close to it, which is why you will be important paipai." Ai
"Yes, im ready. With my powers, i can easily stop its time." Paipai said shaking
"Calm down paipai, remember our training." Ai said holding paipais shaking hand
"Yes, how one battles reflects their personality right?" Paipai
"No, just normally calm down. A warrior cant win a fight with a loose head right?" Ai
"Yes, i know.. i know.." paipai said before she take on deep breaths
"Will they be ok jake?" Allete
"They will be. Since hastiness will only lead to failure in the battlefield." Jake
"Uhuh.." allete
"I was also talking to you about it ms allete." Jake
"Oh, right. Anyways, ms ai said that your story is something to hear, can you tell me?" Allete
"Are you prepared to face a portion of the truth of humanity?" Jake
"Whats with that?" Allete
"Just answer the question." Jake
"Yes, i think. Though im ready to accept the consequences if there might be any." Allete
"There arent any, rest assured about that. Though i will ask again, are you really ready to accept my story ms allete?" Jake
"Why are you asking me this when your story is suppose to be a heros story?" Allete
"Like i said, too much expectations will only lead to failure, reality may not be as what you seem it to be you know." Jake
"Hahh.. fine. Im ready to accept your story whatever it may be." Allete
"Good.." jake said before telling all of his story
"Whoa.. i didnt think--" allete said after the story was told
Jake cuts her off, "yes, which was why i have asked you twice if you were ready to accept my story or not."
"Ignorance is always bliss you know that." Paipai
"Hahh.. yes, i know. Its just that i didnt expect the story of my idol to be like that." Allete
"Well better believe it. Because this is the crappy world we live in now, and at least jake isnt so crappy as everyone else." Ai said as she hugs him from behind
"Ok, didnt expect that." Allete said as she had a glance of ai haugging him
"Hahh.. ai, there is a time and a place for things." Paipai
"Are you jealous by any chance?" Ai said teasingly
"Shut up." Paipai said as she was embarrassed
"Haha, girls, be good to each other now." Jake
"Yes jake." Both of them said pouting
"Hahh.." allete sighs before they arrived at paris. "Were here."
When they entered paris borders, all they could see were refugees on all sides while further inside the center of paris, they could now see either humans turned to stone or being brutaly killed.
"How horrible." Allete said before she picks up her phone. "Sir, where are the two now?"
"They are currently resting at the eiffel tower. Be careful out there soldier." Anton said on the line
"Yes sir." Allete said before she cuts the line. "They are currently at the eiffel tower guys, so this is as far as i can get you."
"But why?" Paipai
"After hearing what jake said, it would be better for me to just stay and wait for--" allete said before she saw a black fog or cloud up ahead
"Its the wendigo, they are now on the move." Ai
"You know the plan right girls?" Jake said as he got out of the jeep
"Yes, we know." They both said as they also got out of the jeep
"Whoa.. should i stay or not?" Allete said to jake
"Up to you, though we will need the ride back." Jake said before they walked towards the wendigo
"Well, if it aint brave humans who have come to fight against me, so brave of you." Wendigo said with its face and power stone shown out of all that cloud or fog
"We have come to accept your surrender!" Jake
"Hah! Ridiculous! Me? Surrender to a human?" Wendigo said laughing
"Its now all up to you now girls." Jake said before he ran at lightning speed towards the gorgon
"Just where is he going?!" Wendigo said surprised
"Your fight is with us." Ai said as both of them readies with their battle stance
"Hahaha! Im fighting against girls?! Are you kidding me?!" Wendigo
"You will be surprised." Ai said as paipai stopped the wendigos time
"Hurry ai!" Paipai
"On it!" Ai said as she cuts off the part where the power stone is, using wind
"And on to the container you go." Allete said as she opens the container that they were also bringing along
With paipai stopping the wendigos time, ai was able to cut off the power stone and got it inside the airtight container.
"We did it!" The girls then celebrated
"Though i would like to, we still have one last thing to do." Ai
"Yes, wait for jake to return." Paipai said as she stopped time cor the wendigo once more.
"Since for anything without a physical body to detatch the power stone from, if the stone is a parasitic one, the power stone would just seek out a new host body by gathering the nearest energy source." Ai
"Is that really how it works?" Allete
"Yes. And these power stones would only stop if you overload them with power, just like what jake did with the zombie king." Ai said as paipai was concentrating on her role
"Lets just hope jake gets here in time." Allete
In the meantime, jake ran towards where the gorgon was before he flew up high. And before the gorgon could ever notice, jake struck many lightning strikes towards the gorgon, before she could ever face towards jake. Jake then saw the power stone at its forehead and struck many lightning strikes towards the snake hairs, before the stone itself and of the head, thus decapatating the big gorgon. As the gorgon has grown in size, to the size of a six story building, so jake needed to strike a lot and fast. Then with the gorgon decapatated, its body and the head turned to stone, before jake could ever collect the power stone at its forehead and ran back.
"Any minute now, jake should be done with his task." Ai said as they wereon the jeep
"You think hes gonna pull through?" Allete
"Certainly! When he uses his full power and speed, no one can match him." Ai
In that instant, a gust of wind was felt, and the power stone was on the other container.
"What did i miss?" Jake
"Jake, how about doing it now." Paipai said as she was almost at her limit
"Open the container, i will now charge the stone with power." Jake
With the container now opened, jake struck lightning to the time stopped power stone for the wendigo, which startled them all and later had the stone stop glowing.
"Whew!" They all said after the container was closed shut.
"Mission accomished! As i have said!" Allete said now celebrating
"You have certainly a lot to learn ms allete, for always having to jinx us." Jake said as he was now at the jeep
"But i only said the truth!" Allete said with a gesture
"Hahh.. is there any near fast food center we can order? Im starving." Jake said with a grumbling stomach
"Oh, ok. Leave that to me." Allete
After that, allete drove them to the nearest mcdonalds and ordered something for take out, before going back to camp. Then after a while of driving towards le treport, they finally arrived at the camp.
"Good work out there jake and team!" Anton
They were now back at the camp at le treport, at the commanders tent, where the french president visited them. Where the containers that has the stones were also put at a table just behind them.
"President andre allard. Jake burns, i thank you on behalf of the people of france." Andre said as they shook hands
"What will you do now with these power stones?" Ai
"We will just agree to keep it safe my lady." Andre
"I see. I thought you were going to keep them for research." Jake said as the others agree
"Well, i have decided to keep them under lock and key after all that they have done." Andre
"Wise decision. These are truly powerful monsters that one cant stop on their own." Jake
"But if we agree to have it for research, would you also agree to help us again if anything goes wrong?" Andre
"Just keep it safe sir, since both are unstoppable depending on the situation." Jake said as they agree
"No promises huh, thats fine as well. Well, gotta leave the research to the americans right?" Andre
"No, he didnt mean that sir. Even the americans are handling their power stone with care, so it would depend on your country in the end. But he just wont make any promises." Ai said as jake agrees
"I see. Ok then, we will take great care of these stones. Though did you guys label them?" Andre
"The stones actually colored depending on the kind of attribute they are. Since gorgon is with the earth attribute, the stone is colored green." Jake
"So the other must be the wendigo. Gotta be extra careful with that one." Andre
"Anyways, we should be going back to england now. There is a mission waiting for us there." Paipai
"You doing ok now paipai?" Jake
"Yes, thank you for your concern. Well, i have a reliable partner anyways." Paipai said to ai
"Thanks." Ai said smiling
"Wont you guys stay for an awarding ceremony or something?" Andre
"No, still have lives to save." Ai said as they agree
"Well then, make us proud as well." Andre said before they flew back to london.
After a few hours of flight back to london, they then go to buckingham palace where they were to meet with the queen.
"Jake, is my hair ok? Is my make up ok?" Ai said fretting
They were now at the waiting room in the palace where they are to wait for the queens arrival. and it was now 3 in the afternoon.
"Do i also look ok jake?" Paipai
"Uhh.. girls, we are here to only meet withe the queen." Jake
"It IS because we get to meet with the queen of england, thats why were asking if were ok!" Ai said as paipai agrees
"Haha.. your just exhaggerating." Jake
"Why arent you nervous jake?" Paipai
"Remember that one time where he met with dutuer paipai, he said to us that meeting someone of power is like going to a job interview. You be nervous, you lose the position." Ai said to paipai
"Oh yeah, he did say that,though i have never been into any job interviews before." Paipai
"Anyways, its good that you arent that nervous jake, but we get to see a woman in power! And she must be respected--" ai
"The queen is here!" Said the attendant
"Oh, thank god your here jake burns." The queen said
"No, its only one of my duties that i have to fulfill your majesty, queen mary jewels." Jake said with a bow
The girls immediately immatated jake to curtsy.
"Im ai yukino your majesty, pleased to meet you." Ai
"And im lim paipai." Paipai also said
"Also glad to meet you ladies. Though enough with the pleasantries, jake burns, we need you and your team now to address the situation." Mary said as she took a seat
"Whats the current situation now your majesty?" Jake said as they all got serious
"Currently, half of england is now overrun by either vampires or werewolves." Mary
"How do you know its vampires and werewolves?" Paipai
"Through social media and satellite imaging." Mary said as she signals the attendants to give the files
"I can understand werewolves, but how did you also do it with vampires?" Ai
"With infrered technology. Anyways, you guys should also see some of the pictures taken, it may shock you." Mary said pointing at the file folder
"Whats this monster suppose to be?" Paipai said referring to the dullahan invading one of the cities
"Its a dullahan, The headless rider. So this is what you wanted us to see right?" Jake
"Yes, but look at todays imaging." Mary
"What is this monster suppose to be? It looks like a pale human." Jake said referring to the ghoul besides the dullahan
"You see, some time ago, there was a project to make a humanoid using the power stone as a power source or sorts. That scientist name was tod treau, and he succeeded in making a frankenstein out of the power stone, which was used to make mummies and ghouls. Now we believe that he has become a ghoul." Mary
"That is a ghoul?" They said referring to the picture of a pale man
"Yes." Mary
"Is there any evidence of him turning to a ghoul?" Paipai
"Yes. In this USB, contains the recording of the final moments of dr tod, though only sound is available since this was a tapped phone call." Mary said referring to the USB at hand
Mary then plays the recording in a laptop where they heard dr tod in his final moments before turning to a ghoul, and the convo of the monsters before the recording stopped with a crash, like the destruction of the phone.
"So this means that the current monsters now possess intelligence, and has taken control of half of england now." Jake
"Yes. Just like the zombie king you just fought." Mary
"And the wendigo as well." Ai
"Anyways, its clear that you would have to face increadible odds." Mary
"And to conduct a rescue of natasha sparks." Jake
"What?! Shes alive?!" Mary
"If my theory is right, she is. Though this would prove to be a bit difficult." Jake
"Why?" Mary
"Because there is an army of vampires and werewolves right? Whats more, we have to face about 4 powerful monsters above all that." Ai
"If dr tods theory is right about the monsters, they should be back now at lancaster castle by night." Mary
"But dr tod is already a ghoul right? How can we be sure?" Paipai
"We just have to take the chance." Jake
"What?!" They all said
"If they are that powerful now, we should expect them to expect us, without even holding back." Jake
"What do you mean?" Mary
"Meaning, we just have to knock at their front door." Jake said with a smile.
With that, by nightfall, they then flew towards lancaster castle. They also expected an aerial attack against them, which did happen, but all the vampires that attacked them was either fried or blown away.
"Damn.. they were too many for just me alone, glad your on our side jake." Ai said as they were now flying forwards
"Yeah, over more than half of them were falling like flies." Paipai
"Yes, i know. Though its getting calmer now. How much longer until lancaster castle?" Jake
“according to the map, its not that far.” paipai said as she as holding the phone
“i bet that the fog ahead tells us that we have arrived.” ai said to the castle filled with fog
“lets go, you guys know the plan right?” jake said as they agreed
“i hope im up for this.” paipai said gulping
They then flew at the top of the castle grounds where jake sensed the presence of about 5 power sources.
“it seems that natasha might be located inside the castle, im sensing about 5 power sources inside.” jake
“can you sense where she might be?” ai
“yes, she may be at the throne room--” jake said before he noticed the vampire king made a jump
As ai and paipai might be the target, and according to the plan, he took the attack head on and was plunged to the castle grounds.
“jake! Are you alright?!” ai said following them
“no ai! Remember the plan! Go inside the castle now!” jake said as he was pinned down in hand lock against the vampire king.
With that, ai and paipai agreed and enters the castle. There, the alpha also appears at the jakes head, only to miss attacking jake at the head. And there, jake then got serious and did a lightning explosion, which pushed them both back.
“lets dance.” jake said as he readies with his battle stance
Meanwhile, inside the castle, the girls searched every room at the ground floor to only see piles of bodies at the sides of each room. Until they came to the throne room, where they finally found natasha, along with the dullahan and the ghoul.
“dont ever move from there! If you know what will happen to her.” dullahan said with his sword placed near her neck
The girls were now at some distance away from the throne,which they had natasha sit at the throne with the dullahans sword pointing at her own neck.
“so what should we do now?” ai
“what you should do is to convince jake burns over there to stop.” ghoul
“what?! you know that he is the most powerful among us.” paipai
“yes, which is why we say this now, have jake surrender. Or else natasha will get killed.” ghoul
“we already extracted information about all of you from this girl here, so don’t ever think of using your powers against us.” dullahan
“you ready paipai?” ai said softly
“ready when you are partner.” paipai said before she stopped the time of the dullahan in an instant
“tch! This is why I was against this plan this whole time!” ghoul said as he ran towards the girls
“sleep for a while.” ai said as she sucked the air around the ghoul as he was running
As the air was all sucked out of the ghoul, the ghoul then fainted.
“hurry ai, I cant keep this up for long!” paipai said as she was holding on. “I didn’t think that the dullahan would be this powerful.”
In that instant, ai glided towards natasha and nearly saved her from the dullahans sword. As ai got to paipai, paipai then lets go of her hold on the dullahan.
“damn it! Should have just killed her before! If only the vampire king hadnt stopped me.” dullahan said as it was now walking towards the girls
“damn it! We should escape!” paipai
“no. If we do that, the vampire king will only hypnotize us, just like what the legends say.” ai
“then you do what you do best ai, while I get natasha to safety.” paipai
“no! Like I said, we must fight them! You do remember the plan do you?” ai
“yes but--” paipai
The dullahan cuts her off, “enough talking! I will just kill you all!” he said as he swings his sword at them
The girls was able to dodge the strike, then they ran towards outside of the castle.
“we will just be bringing them outside, nothing more, nothing less.” ai
“yes, but wont the vampire king--” paipai
Ai cuts her off, “no. As long as we don’t interfere with jake in their fight, we will win.”
“i hope your right on this!” paipai said as the dullahan and the ghoul was now chasing them
As ai also delayed the monsters by releasing a gust of win behind her, they ran towards the exit of the castle, right at the second floor of the castle.
“give it up ladies, you are now surrounded.” ghoul
“nope, you guys will lose today!” ai said before she made a small thin tornado towards both the monsters
As the small tornado hit the monsters, it was only effective with the ghoul, which the power stone of the ghoul was forcefully separated from the body.
“oh well, he was the weakest of us all anyways.” dullahan said as it walks towards the girls. “any last words?” it said as the girls now had nowhere else to go
In that instant, there was lightning that struck at the dullahans forehead, at the head which it always carries around. Thus with an overload of power, the dullahan fainted.
“quick! Get the stone out!” paipai said pointing at the dullahan
Realizing what to do, ai then takes the head and manually pulls out the stone from the head, causing the dullahan to disappear.
“stay inside the castle! As I take care of these guys!” jake said as he was preoccupied with the others
“yes jake!” the girls said as ai collected the power stones using her power of wind, forming a barrier around it while they go inside the castle
“oh no you don’t!” the vampire king said as he was about to hypnotize the girls
“no you don’t either!” jake said as he threw the werewolf towards the vampire king
As they were on the air, at lightning speed, jake then took hold of the vampire kings eyes and electrocuted them. Just enough time for the girls to escape inside the castle.
“will take care of you first vampire king!” jake said before he pulled out the power stone from the kings forehead and overloaded it with a lightning strike.
With the kings power stone separated from him, the vampire king only turned to dust. As the moon shone brightly upon the night sky, and with the fog out of the way when the dullahan was defeated, jake then saw the alpha howling towards the moon.
“this is your last chance human! Tonight is a full moon! And im getting more power than ever!” the alpha said as jake descends at some distance to the alpha
“no, this is your last chance to surrender werewolf!” jake
“im not just any werewolf! Im the alpha werewolf!” the alpha said before it ran towards jake
Then with lightning speed, jake threw lightning towards the alpha and tazed it from its tracks.
“goodbye alpha werewolf.” jake said before manually pulling out the power stone from the alphas forehead
As the werewolf power stone was pulled out from it, the werewolf died on the spot due to blood loss, not revering back to human ever again.
"Sorry, but its the only way." Jake said as he prayed for the souls of the victims.
Jake then goes inside the castle, and into the throne room, where the girls were waiting and afraid.
"Sorry to make you wait girls!" Jake said upon opening the door
"Oh, its jake. Paipai, jake won!" Ai said with relief as paipai feels the same
"Where are the stones now?" Jake said walking towards them with 2 stones at each hand
"At the throne, where it wont be bothering anyone." Ai said pointing
The stones at the throne were then acting weird, as if they were trying to merge together.
"Ai, you shouldnt have put the stones together." Jake
"Really? But im just out of power, just like paipai." Ai said as she looks at the sleeping paipai
"No worries, theres maybe a dungeon here somewhere. You hold these stones with both hands, while i separate the other two." Jake said, handing over the stones at hand
"Wont these stones feed off me?" Ai
"No. Those stones have overloaded themselves with my lightning, which is why it wont wake up after a while." Jake
"I see." Ai said before jake goes to the throne to see the 2 stones together like a magnet.
Jake then charges and strikes the combined power stones with lightning, where the stones overloaded itself with power, then it stopped glowing and separated.
"Lets get these stones to the british government for now ai." Jake said holding both stones at each hand
"But what about paipai?" Ai
"Its either we leave the stones here or leave them here for now, in any case, we cant just leave the stones by themselves. Who knows what they might do." Jake
"You got a point. Lets just have the two of them sleep at the beds upstairs--" ai
Jake cuts her off, "lets just leave both of them by the throne. The beds upstairs might be props now for all we know."
"Your right." Ai
They then moved paipai and natasha, leaning at the throne, before the went haste towards buckingham palace, where the queen was waiting anxiously right outside.
"Your majesty, its good that you waited for us, but could we get some tightly sealed containers for these stones?" Jake said as they descended
"Can you guys get the containers?" The queen said to the queens secret service which was waiting alongside the queen
"Yes maam!" The men said before some of them went off to get the containers meant for the stones
After a few minutes, the containers were brought and the stones separated to each container before all the stones suddenly woke up by glowing themselves.
"Why are they glowing by the way?" Mary
"Because they had the chance to suck some of our energy along the way. So whatever you may do, dont let them latch on or be touched by anyone." Jake
"We understand. We will take utmost care and protection of these stones that they may not be used against humanity." Mary said as they agree
With that done, jake and ai then flies back towards the castle where they picked them up, and let the girls sleep in a room at the palace while jake is in the other.
"Where am i?" Paipai said after waking up and stretching
"Oh, paipai. Morning." Ai said as she also woke up
Then at the center was natasha who has visible bite marks from the werewolf and vampire in both sides of her neck.
"Poor natasha, if only she had waited for us." Ai
"Yes, i feel her pain. The feeling of uselessness in front of great odds." Paipai
"We should go to jake now." Ai
"By the way, how did i end up here? And who carried me? Where am i?" Paipai
"We carried both of you here, me with you and jake carrying natasha. And we are now at the buckingham palace in england where it was agreed that we stay here for now." Ai
"I see. How is natasha by the way?" Paipai
"Speaking of natasha, when jake was carrying her last night, he was also looking at her boobs. You get me?" Ai said frustrated
"Haha. i know you like him very much, but he just cant help it right? Hes a man after all." Paipai
"I mean, if he wants to, i can always devote myself to him anytime." Ai
"Thats some loyalty there. And like seriously, how is natasha?" Paipai
"Shes got vampire bit marks and werewolf bite marks at both sides of her neck. No wonder she wont be waking up for a while." Ai
"Why?" Paipai
"The doctors say its just a bite mark, but according to legends, a bite mark from either monster would make themselves into monsters themselves. But jake said that her system is currently eliminating the viruses from the werewolf bite, since vampires cant take the sun." Ai
"I see. Darkness cant take the light after all, though it will take a while before she wakes up right?" Paipai
"Yes, that would be the case." Ai
*knock*
"Its me." Jake said by the door
"Come in jake." Ai
Jake then comes in to find the 2 girls up in bed.
"How is natasha?" Jake
"Still not waking up. Though we should just leave her to the doctors here at england." Ai
"Yeah, i agree with ai jake." Paipai
"Ok then, get dressed girls, cause we got one more place to go." Jake
"Where?" The girls said
"To canada. Prime minister justin truman needs us." Jake said as the girls are wide eyed
"For what?" Paipai
"There has been a break in at the bank of canada." Jake
"What?! Its been a while since someone actually made a break in at any bank, but sho or what did?" Paipai
"No, the question is, what was stolen. I just got a call from the president dutuer saying that the prime minister needs our help." Jake
"What was stolen?" Ai said concerned
"About 2 power stones!" Jake
"Oh, so thats it. And do you know what kind of monster it is right now?" Ai said as the girls were relieved
"A cyclops and a genie!" Jake
"Wait, is a genie even a monster?" Paipai
"Anyways, why is a genie so bad?" Ai said with a gesture
"Think about it you two, a genie! Who grants about 3 wishes max! Under the wrong hands, they can wish for practically almost anything in this world!" Jake
"Like, anything?" Paipai said with sparkling eyes
"Almost anything. And note of what i have taught you paipai." Jake said annoyed
"Alright, fine. With great power comes with great responsibility and sacrifice. Though i also deserve some of my wishes being granted right?" Paipai
"Lets not talk about this now paipai, you will know the true horror of the genie soon enough." Jake
"Jake is right paipai, even though i feel sad about your parents loss, doesnt mean you must resort to other means." Ai
"There are always no shortcuts in life paipai, even shortcuts are made from effort and sacrifice. Anyways, get dressed ladies, we are now going to canada." Jake said before he got out of the room
After a few hours later and after a quick shower, the ladies finally finished getting ready.
“your majesty, that you very much for keeping our bags safe for a while.” jake said inside the waiting room
“no, thank you for all your efforts in protecting this land.” mary said as they shake hands. “and thank you ladies for also helping in this effort to protect this country.” she said looking at the ladies
“no, it was our pleasure your majesty.” ai said as she shook hands with mary
“its also a pleasure your majesty, to be able to help someone or a country even.” paipai said as she shook hands
“off you go now, your ride is now on london airport as we speak.” mary said as they agree
With that done, jake and company was escorted towards london airport where a chartered flight was waiting for them at the airport.
“jake, I could get used to this life.” paipai said as she was now eating something
They were now inside the plane, high above the clouds, where ai and paipai are enjoying the life of a celeb.
“well, this is a courtesy of her majesty after all.” jake said as he reads the newspaper on his seat
“sir, please focus. As I am your envoy towards toronto, canada, my job is also to brief you with the details of your mission.” a commander said
“uhh.. no offense, but whats your name again?” ai said as she was also eating along with paipai
“im commander scott lang.” scott said
“ok sir scott, whats the data on the break in?” jake
“we currently have data that one of the stolen items were among the strongest power stones we have ever measured, since they have actually measured its power through a power meter.” scott
“what we currently know is that the power stones stolen were the genie and cyclops.” jake
“yes, the one we have measured to be the strongest yet was the genie. Anyways, it seems that through our drones, we have spotted 2 likely suspects for the robbery.” scott
“where did you find them?” ai
“there was a civilian filming at the niagara falls yesterday, which also captured a live giant cyclops bathing at the top of the falls. Of course military action was exercised, but they couldn’t even get close to the cyclops, yet alone land on one of the forests at the sides of the stream. It was as if someone else was controlling the choppers.” scott
“i see now. The nazis had us all set up, all just for this day.” ai
“its too early for us to conclude that it was the nazis, but the probability is there.” scott
“i mean, all this could be their handiwork. the stolen blood in the philippines, and now the stolen power stones in canada, right jake?” ai
“yes, only they might have all the resources necessary for this.” jake
“what does the legends say about the cyclops?” paipai
”thats what got you curious?” ai
“what? Know your enemy, and know yourself, and you wont be in peril in a thousand battlefields right?” paipai
“yes, true.” jake
“sun tzu, nice.” scott
“what I know about the cyclops is that its got one eye and is very big. And is also the son of poseidon, so it might be a tough opponent.” ai
“hmm..” jake was in thought. “how about you girls leave the fight to me?”
“what?!” the girls said
“leave it all to you?! are you mad?! after all the things we have been through!” ai said as paipai agrees
“dont mean it like that, its just that the opponent now seems tougher than your average monster.” jake
“yes, it might be tough, but we can handle it. Right paipai?” ai
“yes we can.” paipai said in agreement
“alright then, I will leave the cyclops to you girls.” jake
”so this leaves the others to you right?” scott
“yes. And we wont give up without a fight, right girls?” jake
“yeah!” the 3 said in unison to lift up their spirits.
After that, they slept for a while, before the plane landed at toronto airport, Where they left their bags at a hotel before they go to niagara falls.
But before jake and company set off from england, at niagara falls..
“what should we do now sir? The cyclops is spotted!” ibrahim
They were now at the top of the niagra falls viewpoint, where a lot of people are now viewing the giant cyclops in one of its islands.
“nothing to fret, as its all according to plan.” jonah said leaning against the wall
“but how is this according to plan sir? Sir we have released the cyclops in that island, but what do you have in mind for the genie?” ibrahim
“let me do the talking, alright? I know what my wishes would be.” jonah
“alright then. So, what now? Either we wait for jake burns to arrive, or we should use all 3 wishes now?” ibrahim
“we should wait.” jonah
“but our intelligence says that jake now has a team right? We shouldnt underestimate them.” ibrahim
“yes, your right. The time is now anyways.” jonah said as he picked up the power stone from his bag
“wait, what are you doing?!” ibrahim said as jonah now comes forward towards the crowd
“people of canada, do you want to see a spectacle?” jonah said as the crowd was confused. “here in my hand is the stone to summon a genie! And with this, I shall show you wonders!”
The crowd then turns back towards filming the cyclops
“ibrahim, now would be a good time to release the genie.” jonah said to ibrahim
“hahh.. fine.” ibrahim said before he chants towards the stone
After the chant, which ibrahim also gave some of his magic to the stone, the stone turned to a lamp as some people were able to see and be amazed.
“now, its show time.” jonah said as he rubbed the lamp
As jonah rubs the lamp, there was then a blue mist or cloud coming out of the lamp, where it turned to a giant blue genie with shackles on both hands.
“argh!!” the genie said as it stretches
With the appearance of the genie, the crowd goes wild with filming the genie and the summoner.
“who has summoned me as my master?” the genie said before the crowd points to jonah
“it is I who summoned you o great genie!” jonah
”it is you who is great master, for you have me.” the genie said
“please grant me my wishes then? As I am the one who will free you!” jonah
“oh? Hasty arent we? Well, I will grant your wishes to the best of my abilities. So, what will your first wish be?” the genie said
It was also then that jonah controlled all the people around to film everything that is happening and upload it to social media
“my first wish would be, immortality for both me and ibrahim here.” jonah
“oh? Are you sure about that? There is just a limit to what one can do when they are immortal.” the genie said
“we understand, and is our first wish!” jonah said as ibrahim agrees
“your wish is then granted.” the genie said as he raised his hands to gather power
When the genie was done gathering power, he then released it towards jonah and ibrahim, which they now felt some changes within them including having their hairs white.
“what did you do to us?” ibrahim
“i just made you immortal as promised, with the gift of regeneration.” the genie said
“whoa.. that is awesome.” ibrahim
“do you trust me now ibrahim? I got this.” jonah
“alright then, I trust you with this.” ibrahim
“on to my next wish!” jonah said to the genie
“what may that be my master?” the genie said smiling
“i wish for us to be the most powerful in the world! And I mean literally the most powerful humans on the planet.” jonah
“even more powerful than the genie or jake burns?” ibrahim
“both if possible.” jonah
“hmm..” the genie was thinking. “are you really sure about that? There is basically a limit to what I can do.”
“yes, as powerful as we could ever be.” jonah
“alright then. Your wish is then granted.” the genie said as he raised his hands to gather power
When the genie was done gathering power, he then released it towards jonah and ibrahim, which they now felt some changes within them. And this time, they felt even more power coursing through their veins than ever before, which also made them able to fly.
“whoa! I cant believe that this is how jake feels every time!” ibrahim
“yes, and now, we could even do more than that.” jonah
“though what I just did was raised your powers to as high as possibly can, which you now have enough power to light up a whole continent if you want to.” the genie said
“nice.” jonah said, admiring all the power that was given
”wait, im now getting a bit afraid of all this.” ibrahim
“its too late to back out now ibrahim, you are with me right?” jonah
”yes, but--” ibrahim
Jonah cuts him off, “or do you want me to control you too?”
“no sir, im totally with you all the way.” ibrahim said with fear
“hahh..” the genie sighed at the scene. “I cant believe that I totally fell into the hands of evil.”
“we arent evil, we are just going to change the world for the better. As a universal being, you already know what my past is like right genie?” jonah
“yes, and I can feel why you were suffering in the midst of your childhood, but doesnt mean that you would do it this way. There are always other ways to solve the problem.” the genie said
”but this is the shortest way possible. Like my father said, if there is a shorter way to do it, grab it before it disappears.” jonah said with a gesture
“alright then, I will be your servant just this once, with respect to your past.” the genie said
“thank you genie.” jonah
“anyways, what may be your third wish my master?” the genie said
“my wish is to summon demons into this world, which we can control.” jonah said with a gesture
“whoa.. what you are asking there my master is impossible for me.” the genie said
“why? You the all powerful genie right?” jonah said as ibrahim was now getting afraid
“because demons cant be controlled, you can only make deals with them at a price.” the genie said
“alright then, thats fair. So, how do I summon a demon then? And if possible, control them?” jonah
“i have just added 3 pages on ibrahims spell book, on how to summon demons from the astral plane. If you want to summon them, summon through the procedures given.” the genie said
“there is a procedure to that?” ibrahim
“yes. And with this, I am finally free!” the genie said as the shackles were now automatically released from his hands.
With the genie now free, the genie turned to a regular human which was then turned into ashes, where the shackles also shrank to human size as it fell down to the ground.
“thank you.” the genie said as his last words
When jake and company arrived as they flew from the airport, towards the horseshoe falls at niagara falls, they saw the cyclops on an island all stranded right above the falls. But when they surveyed the area, they also found some sort of magic circle, flashing red as people all gathered around it.
“jake, I trust you know the plan right?” ai
“yes, and I trust you girls with the cyclops.” jake said as the girls agree
With that said, they separate themselves, the girls fight with the cyclops while jake goes for the others.
“who goes there?!” the cyclops roared
“give up or face our wrath cyclops!” paipai shouted
“haha! How funny you should mention that! I have been thirsty for human meat for a while now!” the cyclops said
“wait, if you have intelligence, why wouldnt you just go on the other side so that you can feast on the humans there?” paipai said to ai
“i know! They are all right there, but it takes a lot of effort to go there anyways, so I just sat here for a while and watched the view.” the cyclops said
“paipai, we should really defeat this cyclops before he actually goes there.” ai said before paipai agrees
With her agreeing, ai transferred her to her back, from just carrying her at her arms, before ai attacks the cyclops with wind cutters.
“ouch! That hurts you know!” the cyclops said in pain before he stood up, in like a 4 story high kind of a big cyclops
“catch us if you can!” ai said before she flew towards land, where the cyclops followed them
Then after ai lets paipai go on land, the cyclops catched up to them where the fight finally began on land. With the cyclops controlling water, ai counters it with freezing wind, thus creating a tornado of ice. And with the tornado of ice in place, the cyclops now have a club which it can use and grabs it, only to find his hand stuck at the bottom.
“whats this?!” the cyclops shouted before ai barraged the cyclops with wind cutters
With the wind cutters, she was able to distract the cyclops into guarding itself while the other hand was frozen in time, as ai also sends wind cutters towards the other hand. With paipai now released her hold of the other hand, the wind cutters pushed through and cuts the other hand.
*roar* the cyclops roared in pain and anger before it dared punch ai, only to have the other hand also stop in time
“wind guillotine!” ai shouted a killer move, where wind cutters were used like saw blades, to cut through the other hand.
“oww!!” the cyclops shouted as it was now in pain
Then without anything to cover its forehead, ai then cuts the section where the power stone is and got the stone out of its head, thus killing it in the process. Taking a step back in time before the girls fight, jake approached the flashing red light at the distance to find 2 people, one was chanting and holding a book while the other was just standing there.
“good afternoon jake burns, I hope that we arent intruding.” jonah
“who are you?! And what are you doing here, and with all these people gathered?!” jake
“sorry for the late intro, im jonah sanders, one of the leaders of the nazis. While my companion is someone i borrowed from the terrorists, his name is ibrahim haharem.” jonah said as ibrahim was still chanting
Ibrahim was chanting all this time while the two were talking, also while the people around the big red circle were also filming their conversation.
“ok?.. so what are you guys actually doing here?” jake
”in all your life, do you ever want power jake? Power beyond you can grasp?” jonah
“nope, not really.” jake said as he descends towards the ground
“cause you already have that power right? From the very beginning, you were chosen among all of us! Why jake?! why were you the only one chosen!” jonah
“if you ask me why, I don’t know. Since only the gods knows about why they choose me. And what are you getting at? Or are you just delaying me?!” jake said pointing his finger on jonah
“haha! Bravo! I have to give it to you! Your sharp! Though that wont save you from what is to come!” jonah
“what do you mean?!” jake
“that you will never be able to beat us, like ever.” jonah said as he points his hand towards jake
In that moment, jonah tried to control jakes mind, but failed as there was a barrier that surrounds jake at all times, though jake only felt some headaches as jonah tries to control him. But after that, jake then struck jonah with lightning, thus frying jonah.
“you! Stop chanting!” jake said to ibrahim which wont stop. “then you shall also feel my lightning!”
As jake was about to strike lightning to ibrahim, jonah reached out his hand to protect him, thus frying him again.
“what?!” jake said being surprised.
“you shouldnt have done that.” ibrahim said tending to jonah
“more.. power.. trust.. me..” jonah said before he fainted, due to the fact as well of the first time he used his regenerative powers
“alright my friend.” ibrahim said before saying the last few words, and before jake strikes his lightning once more
