Chapter 22:
The Sleeping Dragon
There at a place, where it was a ghost town and has a large hole in it, the 4 sacred beasts gather. It was also about 6 pm there, where sunset falls into the place, and a storm was brewing above due to the gathering of sacred beasts.
"Jake burns, we are now going to test you whether you shall be worthy or not." Dragna
The azure dragon, the white tiger, the black tortoise, and the vermillion bird was present along 4 points of the hole.
"Like what now?!" Jake
"Sorry about this jake, we mean no harm, but we need to do this for the upcoming crisis." Dragna
"Why? And whats gonna happen to me? And where am i?" Jake
"You are currently at the kola borehole, at north eastern russia." Said a voice inside his head
"You will soon know why once you pass the test." Dragna said as she transforms
When dragna transformed, and as jake almost fell into the big hole, the 5 of them concentrated their powers on jake, which had jake float towards inside the hole. Thus combining the effects of the powers of the sacred beasts and the effects of the borehole, one can hear the voices of hell as he hangs from life ang death, again. And while jake was somewhat restrained by the 5 of them towards the bottom of the borehole, jake was also emitting lightning all over.
"Welcome back jake burns, to hell that is." Satan
He was now back at the astral plane, though this time, he is in the demon throne room where he was surrounded by the demons.
"What is this?! Why am i here?!" Jake said, unable to bring out the lightning within him
"Dont fret about it jake, you were just sent here just to talk with us probably." Satan
"Since you have a shield and everything, which means that you are protected from any harm while in the astral plane." Lucifer
"Now boy, tell us, is earth really worth it?" Astaroth
"Have a seat boy." Beelzebub said as a chair was made from the ground
"I mean, the people are living in it are, you know.. Filled with assholes and bitches." Lilith said smiling
"For the moment, my answer will always be, that im only here to protect my family. Protecting everyone else is just a bonus." Jake said as he sat
"Good answer, but not good enough. There will always be people who will try to harm your family, and depending on politics, your family will also become a bagaining chip for you to do ones bidding. What can you say about that?" Lucifer
"What i can say is that i will accept the job, depending on what it might be. Though i somewhat believe that there is good and fear in a person, which is why they avoid the most least desirable action." Jake
"And what might that action be?" Lilith
"Angering me. After all, with great power comes with great responsibility and sacrifice." Jake
"Whew, those were deep words there jake. But what exactly can you do if you have no power at all to stop them from destroying earth? You even said after all, people build and make what they like, and destroy what they dont." Satan
"Just like what you did with general bruce, you were powerless to even protect your own student." Lilith
"As for my student, i will deal with her my way, since there is still a way to handle the situation. Besides, its her decision and resolve to be a representative of the US, in her own way. As for destroying the earth, i wont let that happen on my watch." Jake
"Oh? When you so happen to decline general bruce after all the info that you have taken in." Beelzebub
"Well, im thinking about what is best to do alright? Im still human after all, and i make mistakes! Besides, i also happen to have other problems!" Jake
"Ah, the birth of your children i see." Lilith said with a small laugh
"You dont even know if your children will be safe in the future. Hahaha!" Lucifer
"True, i dont know the future and im scared as hell facing you guys, but at least my heart is pure! And i have got hope for the future!" Jake said standing up
"Like we said, just sit down. And chill." Lucifer said as he made jake sit down
"I thought--" jake
Astaroth cuts him off, "that your fully protected? Guess again."
"I guess that the sacred beasts are really desperate this time huh." Beelzebub
"Relax, true your physical body isnt here, its also true that you can exert your full power while in here and take us all on, just like before." Satan
"But this time, your in our realm now boy. Mike, death, and the others cant save you now and in time." Lucifer
"Fine, i will relax." Jake said as he relaxed in his seat
"Thats good. Now, let us tell you a story. Oh wait, you already know the story of the aliens right?" Lilith said with a small laugh.
"Hahh.. Dont make a fool out of yourself lilith." Astaroth
"Anyways, the aliens are real, and wants to destroy earth for what its people have done to them." Beelzebub
"And how do you also think that dragna knows about something as far before than her legend? Even with the 4 sacred beasts. Its a mystery right?" Satan
"Yes, it is. But the past does not matter, what matters now is the present." Jake
"Speaking of the present, do you really want to know why frank sanders is doing all this?" Lilith
"Yes, i do want to know." Jake
"You see, his parents are politicians. At first, he was so proud of his parents, but all that changed during only one event. They were just simple statesmen, his parents are, but they were thrown into jail and executed thanks to the law itself, which all of it was in the past. Now the law is different in the US, where they dont do executions anymore. But it doesnt change the fact that the system killed his parents, which is why he and his brother sought to change the system." Lilith
"Until they met some people who brought them down from their place in the government, and thus they began to have a change of heart to the worst. Which is a tragic story you know, though i do like tragic stories." Astaroth said with a little laugh
"Makes them all the more probable candidate to be in hell." Beelzebub
"Well, we do have too much souls here anyways, and hyawei demands us to do a better job at purifying souls, so it would also save us if you do your job properly." Satan
"And you are already an excepmtion to all this." Lilith
"What do you mean?" Jake
"Oops, nevermind that. Anyways, you should concentrate on your job, you hear me?" Lilith
"Hahh.. yes, i hear you. Though people has some weird expectations of me, i will try to do my best anyways, just to protect my family." Jake
"Thats right, you should only be concerned with protecting your family as always, your answers were good. I expect no less than someone who was chosen by both mike and death themselves." Lucifer
"Uhh.. thanks?" Jake
"Anyways, you pass the test, for now. So off you go boy, and never return here, unless if you will come to make a deal." Lucifer said as the devils smiled
With that, he woke up at the bottom of the borehole, all covered in darkness. As he saw that the moon has shone high above, he then flew upwards, to see the changes that was done to him.
"What just happened to me?" Jake said, looking at his right hand to see a small white stone, and a black one on his left.
"What happened to you jake burns, is that we gave you some of our power." Dragna
Jake then looked below to find all 5 of them at one side, and in human form
"Come here jake burns, as you have passed our test." Drago
Jake then descends towards them, where he also noticed his shirt being torn, aside from the fact that there was a red stone on his chest.
"Guys, what has really happened to me?" Jake said as he touches the ground
"Like i said,we gave you some of our power. Currently, you now have the strength to blow up the planet if you wanted to." Dragna
"Oh boy." Jake said, surprised
"You should be proud of yourself jake! You have done us proud." Said the man who was like a mafia boss
As the moon shone high on the sky, their faces were now visible to the naked eye.
"Uhh.. and who might you be?" Jake
"You can call me tiger, for i am the white tiger." Said the man whose like a mafia boss
"You can call me red, for i am the vermillion bird." Said the woman in red
"As its only proper to name oneself, i will just say it anyways. I am called the black turtoise, you can call me black." Said the man with glasses and wearing formal clothes
"I am drago, as the azure dragon, nice to meet you jake burns." Said the oldest and wisest of the five
"I see. Glad to meet you guys. Oh, and tiger, did you happen to kill my friends parents?" Jake
"Who? I cant remember everything that happened." Tiger
"Her parents were suppose to be driving a car back to their house, from work." Jake
"I see now. There were lots of those cars that had an accident when i passed through in my beast form, so they must have probably be in an accident." Tiger
"Hahh.. she will not like the news." Jake said with a face palm
"Anyways, it also remains true to many of us who happens to pass through." Drago
"Yes, it did. If only we could rewind time to undo those things." Red
"Dont count me, i flew all the way towards the waters." Black
"Well, i got this friend of mine actually, who has the power of time, maybe--" dragna
Jake cuts her off, "no! Messing with time is absolutely a no go! We wont know what might happen to you or us if we just mess with time!"
"Hahh.. anyways, like i would care for some puny humans who happen to be in my way." Tiger
"Please dont say that to her, alright?" Jake
"Yes, i agree." Dragna said as they agree
"Hahh.. fine. Anyways, congratulations on passing the test jake burns, im sure it was no easy feat” black
“yes, it wasn’t easy being in the face of demons, but I know my answers and will not change them.” jake
“thats good.” drago
“also, what happened to me? I can feel so much power now, aside from my own.” jake
“yes, since we gave you a portion of each of our powers, thats what.” tiger
“see the 3 oval stones in your chest and hands? Its like a signal receiver of our powers.” red said as jake looks at the stones
“you can also feel 2 more stones in your neck and back by the way.” drago said as jake also feels it to be true
“i see. Thanks, though isnt this too drastic for just aliens?” jake
“if you see them as just aliens, you have another thing coming.” dragna
“i can actually see future possibilities, and one possibility where we can all come out alive is by helping you fight this crisis.” drago
“so I thought, why not give you a test whether you are worthy of our help or not, since all 3 of us were a bit hesitant in giving a total stranger of our powers.” tiger said as red and black agrees
“hahh.. anyways, giving you our powers is also one way of giving you our trust, so you can trust us in return.” dragna
“alright then, I understand, and will trust your vision drago. But is the danger worth all this power?” jake
“yes!” the 5 of them said
“because not only are the aliens powerful, but they have the magic as well.” red
“she means they have the technology.” dragna
“well, thank you for this. Though wont you come with me to stop the crisis?” jake
“no, but maybe I will jake, since I have the time for it.” dragna said as they agree
“alright then, lets both go and stop the crisis from happening. But first, we have to make a stop.” jake
“where are we going jake?” dragna
“back home, where I can call general bruce on the details of the whereabouts of frank and his company.” jake said as dragna agrees
With that, they separate from them and has gone back to the house in the philippines. After some time of flying back at the back of dragna, they then arrived back to the house. it was now early morning when they arrived.
“hi guys!” jake said when the gate to their house opened
Emma and jacob were the ones who welcomed him back as well.
“what happened jake? And what are those in your body?” emma
“its a long story mom. for now, I will need to call general bruce for more info.” jake said as he enters the house
“yeah, its really a long story truth to be told, and you wont like it.” dragna
“please, do tell us.” jacob said, as he was a bit frustrated by what happened to jake
“but first, lets also have ai and paipai hear this.” dragna said as they agree
With that said, jake then got his phone from his room and got back towards the parking lot to call general bruce.
*ring*
“hello general.”
“hello jake, have you come to reconsider for the mission?”
“depends on what information you have for me.”
”alright then, though congrats on the new level up.”
“where did you-- oh, your still keeping an eye on me.”
“just like we are keeping an eye on all the mutants around the world. We just changed the program from overall watching to individual overseeing.”
“i see. I wont ask for any details since you wont tell me anyways.”
“glad you pick up fast. Also, I hear that you just radiated so much that it blinded the satellites for a few seconds. What just happened to you?”
“enough of that, please give me the info about the whereabouts of frank sanders right now.”
“why?”
“because he is about to release hell on earth.”
“im glad your parents understood the gravity of the situation.” dragna
They were now in the sky, and on a commercial plane towards miami florida, where they were being booked with economy tickets for the plane.
“yeah. If you will tell them the whole truth, then they would understand, like I would have. I trusted you and didn’t even know that I was going back to the astral plane just to be tested!” jake
“i am terribly sorry about that jake, its just that they wont accept no for an answer. I said to them that you don’t need to be tested, but the 4 of them insisted it.” dragna
“hahh..” jake said with a face palm
“anyways, how was the call with the general?” dragna
“just alright actually, I just explained to him the situation, and I got the tickets immediately.” jake
“just like that?” dragna
“just like that. Though he did also say that he will be the one who will call president rick for our mission.” jake
“i just hope he wont betray us jake.” dragna
“no he wont, that I can assure. With all this power inside me, I can basically now tell whether if hes lying or not without a sweat. And he did buy the tickets out of his own pocket money.” jake
“i see. Im glad you like your new outcome, though please do note that as long as you are within range of the whole planet, we will provide you the power you need. And that includes if you might be blown to the astral plane.” dragna
“alright, I get it. And what about my parents, how did they take the truth of what you guys did?” jake
“well, they were angry for once, since I didn’t say that we were going overnight. Also since I put you in danger by bringing you to a near death situation.” dragna
“ahh.. And did you properly say to them that it wasn’t your idea?” jake
“yes, and that they forced me to do it.” dragna
“thats good, no wonder they understood immediately without any fuss. And how was ai and paipai” jake
“still looking good, for now. I also explained everything to them by the way.” dragna
“how was paipai when she heard of what happened?” jake
“she had no comment, though it clearly say in her face that it bothered her.” dragna
“i see. Well, its quite a lot to take in, but I hope ai is there for her.” jake
“yes, they will be fine. But for now, let us concentrate on the task at hand.” dragna
“thats right, defeating frank sanders and his team makes top priority now.” jake said as dragna agrees
After that, they both went to sleep on the plane, as the flight would last for some time. Meanwhile, at the port of puerto rico, frank and company has bought another cargo ship for the journey ahead.
"Captain dio waters, where are we now?" Frank
They were now at the bridge of the cargo ship, where dio was on the wheel while frank and jeff were at the side.
"You sure do have a death wish senor, only the experienced fare these waters." Dio
"Just answer the question." Frank said sighing
"We have just arrived at the bermuda traingle. Many sea farers dont go this way for many reasons you know." Dio
"Yes, i know." Frank
"Aside from the fact that electronics and compases somehow cant or wont be able to function properly, we have no way to tell where to go now." Jeff
"Rest assured, this ship is equiped with the latest satellite mapping, so we wont get lost. Specially in this clear day where everything will seem to go well." Dio
"I see." Jeff said in relief
"Anyways, we have to be at the center of the bermuda triangle, so that we can find something." Frank
"What are you looking for anyways?" Dio
"Just old sunken ships, haha.." jeff said as frank agrees
"Well, you lot must be adventure seekers to really go for the dangerous." Dio
"Haha, you said it." Jeff
"Shut up jeff, i know its dangerous. But like with jake burns wisdom, there are always no shortcuts to life, even shortcuts take effort to make." Frank
"You have read the book?" Dio
"Yes." Frank and jeff said
"I see. That was a good book, it just makes me feel wiser by just having it in my bed." Dio
"Haha, alright then, please do inform us when you reach the center." Frank said as they exit the bridge
"Sure, leave it to me." Dio
They then go down towards the main deck where the sub that they used before and a drone bot was placed.
"Is everything ready here?" Frank
"Yes, everything is ready. Whats left is just to arrive there." Said one of the men
"Alright, lets recheck everything. Making sure everything is fully ready." Frank
"Yes sir!" They said as they went to do their jobs
As frank rechecks on the 3 skulls, everyone else was checking again on the sub and drones. After a while, they finally arrive at the center of the bermuda triangle.
"We have arrived!" Said a sailor
"Finally!" Frank said as he was just waiting along with the men on board. "Prepare yourselves men!"
"Yes sir!" Said all his men
But as soon as they arrived at the place, a mythical sea serpent appeared as well, appearing itself to be very long and very big, as long as a sky scraper. And as it appeared from the sea, it wraps itself around the ship, trying to rip it apart. The sea monster had a sparkling body, almost like its mafe from the stars, as its head was green with a stone on its head.
"Whoa! A sea serpent!" Said one of the sailors
"What is really going on here?!" Dio said as he was just outside bridge
"Men, fire at will on the monster!" Frank said on the main deck
They all fired their guns at the monster but it wouldnt budge.
"Sir, it just wont move at all!" Jeff
"Then aim for the head!" Frank said after facing the monster at the face
With their guns aimed at the head, there was now some progress, as the sea serpent budged and screamed.
"What do we do sir?" Jeff
"Jeff, you guys deliver the keys to the device! We will hold them off here!" Frank
"But sir!--" jeff
Frank cuts him off, "Just do it!"
With jeff agreeing, the crew then slowly brought the sub down to the water, as frank and the others face off against the sea serpent. But as the sea serpent noticed this, it whips its tail towards one of the cranes, thus abruptly smashing the sub towards the water.
"Dont stop men! We must save this ship so that we can return home!" Frank
"Yes sir!" The men said as they keep on firing their guns towards the face of the sea serpent.
"Is everyone alright?" Jeff
They were now on the sub, and on the water.
"Yes, we are." The driver said as the others agree
"Then lets go! We got no time to lose!" Jeff
With that said, they then go towards the depths of the bermuda triangle. But as soon as they were searching for some kind of device, they sonar an obelisk like structure again at the distance.
"Jeff! I found something like we saw in atlantis!" Said the sonar man
"Good. Lets head there pronto!" Jeff said to the driver
They then dove some more towards the structure and found some sort of control panel, where there are 3 boxes as there are 4 handles on the side.
"What do we do now?" Said the man in comms
"How deep are we now?" Jeff
"About 80 meters deep!" Said the sonar man
"Then we dive." Jeff
After that, jeff and the man in comms all suit up for the dive. as they got out of the hatch and dive towards the control panel, they then placed the skulls at the boxes and held each handle with each hand. As they activated the device, the ground shook as a red laser aims for the sky. And as they held their ground and wonder in awe upon what would happen after as they looked at the laser, they immediately shriveled up, and truned to ashes along with their scuba gear.
"Wait, where is jeff and the others?" The sonar man said to the driver
"All gone, and reduced to ashes, right after the device turned on." The driver said
"Lets just go back, and tell them what happened." The sonar man said as the driver agreed
Meanwhile, back at the surface, the cargo ship was now bent as frank and his men kept the sea serpent busy.
"How long has it been since they left?" Frank said as they still keep shooting at the serpents head
"About maybe 15 minutes sir! Damn! Im out of ammo!" One of the men said before he went out of ammo
"Damn it! Me too!" Frank said before he threw his gun towards the serpent. "Is there any harpoon here?"
"Here sir!" Said that man, which he threw a harpoon gun at frank
"Damn you monster! I will show you who is boss!" Frank said as he now aims the harpoon gun at the serpents eye
As he shoots, he hit exactly at the eye, which made the serpent further scream in pain. But after that, they finally saw the laser aimed towards the sky. And when the serpent also saw the laser, it then goes away from the ship, as if retreating in defeat.
"Yes!" The men said in celebration
"Where are they now?" Frank said as he views the waters for signs of the sub
After a few seconds, the sub surfaced near the ship, where the crew in the sub got out.
"Where is jeff?!" Frank shouted towards the crew
The crew the signals that jeff was gone.
"I wont ever forget your services jeff." Frank said as he looks at the sky
The sky was now lit in red, as the laser then made some kind of war ship appear out of nowhere, as frank looks at the sky
"Senor frank! Explain yourself!" Dio
"There is nothing to explain! I have acheived my purpose!" Frank said as a smaller ship was disembarked from the war ship itself
As the smaller ship disembarked from the warship, the warship then goes to space as the smaller ship goes towards the cargo ship below.
"Damn you frank! You might have doomed us all!" Dio
"Just watch from there as i communicate with the aliens." Frank said as the small ship opens up
When the smaller ship opened up its hatch, as it hovered at the side of the cargo ship, the aliens that appeared were human shaped but with the head of a mantis.
"Greetings aliens, allow me to introduce myself, im frank--" frank said before he writhed in head pains
With the aliens using an advanced form of telepathy, they then copied all the information from franks head, which made frank die from mental black out and with foam on his mouth.
"We are the insectors, and due to what you people have done to the your world, we will be taking it for our rightful use!" Said one of the aliens using sound mimicking
"Not so fast!" Jake shouted as he was riding dragna
After that, jake got off dragna before she transformed back to human form, but with wings
"I guess we were too late huh." Dragna said as they view the situation
"I guess so, but its always never too late." Jake said before he descends towards the aliens
"When we arrived at the airport, its a good thing that we received a call from general bruce about this." Dragna said, following jake
"What are you?" The aliens said
"I will be your worst nightmare if you dont get out of this planet." Jake
"From the information we got from frank sanders, you must be jake burns, the superhero." The aliens said
"So what if i am? You must get out of here or else!" Jake
"Its too late. Our ship is already at space where we shall summon our species here!" The aliens said with a laugh
"Then die." Jake said before he struck lightning at the small ship
With the small ship now in flames, it crashed towards the sea, and the aliens cower in fear
"Go back to where you belong, now!" Jake said with glowing eyes
"We will all wipe you out of existence!" The aliens said
Jake then struck lightning towards the aliens which were on the cargo ship
"Is everyone alright?!" Jake shouted towards the crew
"Yes senor jake burns! Thank you!" Dio shouted from the top
Jake then gave a thumbs up to the captain, before facing dragna
"What now? They will be summoning their motherships to this solar system." Jake
As dragna was thinking, the sea serpent came back.
"Whoa!" Jake said as the boat rocked a bit
"Calm down milky! Its me!" Dragna said towards the sea serpent
"You know this monster?!" Jake
"Yes, now let me talk with it." Dragna
As all the men in the ship was now out of ammo, all they could do was rely on jake and dragna. Then as the sea serpent looked at one eye towards dragna, and recognized her, it then lowers its head towards her.
"Shes hurt. Jake, can you get the stick from her eye?" Dragna
"Sure thing." Jake said before he hovers to get the harpoon
As jake easily pulled the harpoon out of the serpents eye, the sea serpent then transformed to human form. Her human form was that of a brown skinned person with aztec female attire.
"Thank you jake burns, for your help." Milky
"Jake, meet milky, or the serpent of the milky way." Dragna
"Uhh.. ok. So shes from aztec or mayan legends i see." Jake said as she hugs jake
"Excuse me, but you have crushed my ship! What are you going to do with that?!" Dio said as he walks towards them
"I apologize, but i am merely protecting this place from any intruders." Milky
"Yes, shes only doing her duty as a guardian." Dragna
"Anyways, with the ship in this state, how do you suppose we go home?" Dio
"Dont worry about that, you jist point the way and i will carry the ship towards there." Jake said with a smile
"And thats what happened sir, and so i just made the cargo ship park at the nearest miami beach." Jake
He was now on the phone with bruce as he explained the entire situation, as jake was now on a hotel lobby along with dragna and milky.
"I see. And your with them right now? The mythical beasts?"
"Yes, why?" Jake said as they were right beside him, talking to each other
"Just asking. Anyways, what do you suggest we do now?"
"We wait for them to strike."
"What?! Isnt it dangerous enough that those aliens came to our planet?"
"Yes, its dangerous enough alright. Though we cant just go up there and fight them."
"Why dont you do that anyways?"
"Because i dont have a space suit. And even if me and the divine beasts will accompany me towards there, there is no possible way we can fight all by ourselves!"
"Then what do you suggest?"
"I suggest an all out military front, with all the mutants on the front lines, as all of us battle this force together."
"I dont think that the US president will ever like this."
"I dont care if he wont like it, hes got no other choice! Also, even if we use magic by using the hybrids or the enhanced, they have no training whatsoever with the use of magic!"
"Hahh.. fine. But have you tried to negotiate with them?"
"You say that to your president. If he ever succeeds in negotiating with the aliens, then at least i will listen."
"Alright then. But if ever the negotiations fail?"
"We prepare for an all out war against the aliens."
"Got it. So how do you suggest we negotiate with these aliens?"
"They seem to all have telepathy, or telepathic abilities, which makes them as one swarm. They even said their the insector race."
"You have communicated with them and you didnt make negotiations?!"
"I only wish for them to get out of our galaxy and go back to where they came from. Is that really bad?"
"I cant say its bad, but you could have at least tried to negotiate."
"Oh well, since i only acted based on the story that the sacred beasts gave me."
"Jake, its ancient history. You never know if they might have changed by now."
"I know. Anyways, we all should be ready when worse comes to pass, thats all i can say."
"I see. Ok then, will just monitor from here what they will be doing in the pentagon."
"About our deal the other time general.."
"Oh, i dont think i can grant that. Besides, its the president himself that said the order, so i have to follow."
"But your a leader yourself right? Sometimes, a great leader must make the hard decisions, specially when its for the greater good."
"Alright jake, will think about it. For now, please concentrate on the task at hand."
"Sure, no problem." Jake said before bruce cuts the line
"Are you done?" Dragna
"Yes, are the people outside calming down?" Jake
"Nope, it doesnt sound like it." Dragna
"You sure are popular jake burns." Milky
"Yeah, it also comes with the superhero gig. Anyways, will we wait ourselves?" Jake
"Probably not." Both girls said
"What do you think jake?" Dragna
"Hmm.. let me think first." Jake said while in deep thought. "We cant make a move yet unless they make a move themselves, so were stuck in the waiting game. And i also have my student and friend to worry about."
"What friend?" Milky
"Her name is natasha sparks, and shes a mutant who has the power of nuclear fusion." Jake
"Whats nuclear fusion?" Milky
"In simpler terms, the power of the sun." Jake
"Maybe drago can help, he has the power to tell the possibilities right?" Dragna
"But we are only talking about future possibilities, not the present or the past. I need to look into the past so to pinpoint the location of nat." Jake
"Maybe i can help." Milky
"No, your not going to use what i think you would." Dragna
"What are you girls talking about?" Jake
"Milky has the power to communicate with the galaxy itself, as she is the snake of the milky way." Dragna
"Oh, alright then. How do we do that?" Jake
"Wait. before you guys start, i will have you know jake that her ability lets you communicate with the galaxy, so there will be a heavy toll on any human who will use this." Dragna
"If your ability is communication, then you might be able to pinpoint on certain atoms right?" Jake
"What do you mean?" They said
"Take it like this, the galaxy is just like a colossal amount of atoms right? So its just like talking to many atoms at once. So if you single out a certain amount of atoms, and think really hard on the person, you might be able to find her." Jake
"Whoa. Did you get all that milky?" Dragna
"I will try." Milky
"Here is her picture, i had it developed just in case." Jake said, getting his wallet which had a group picture of him and his students
"You really treasure your students right?" Dragna
"They are both my students and my friends, im not such a total jerk you know who knows not of friendship." Jake
"Let me get on to it." Milky
With her thinking real hard of of natasha based on her picture, she immediately located her.
"I think i need a map." Milky
"We have no map jake." Dragna
"No matter, she can just lead the way." Jake said as he stood
"So its decided then, we go rescue your friend, while we wait for the attack." Dragna said as they all agree
With that done, they go up the rooftop of the hotel and flew to the mid north west of the US, towards the border between canada and the US.
"Its really a surprise to see milky fly, maybe its because shes like drago." Jake said as he was riding dragna
Dragna then agrees with a roar, including milky. Then after a few hours of flight, as it was now late afternoon when they got there, to somewhere in montana.
"Are we there yet?" Jake said as he woke up from sleeping
As milky took the lead, she then flew towards the location, towards a city in the middle of montana, where it came to view when jake woke up.
"It seems im just in time." Jake
It was now 5 pm when they arrived, where a lot of people are now out of the building that they landed on.
"So this is where natasha is being held. I bet they are using her as a lab rat all this time." Jake said as he descended towards the ground.
"Lets quickly get her out of here! When i sensed her, she was suffering!" Milky said after they tramsformed back to human for.
"Then it may be that they are using her for research on some kind of counter measure against me, or for research on fusion energy." Jake said as he looks at the building
After that, jake stormed the place, with the help of both girls. And with milky leading the way, she knew that the elevators inside the building all leads to all floors of the underground facility. Even as they were being cut of electricity around the place, they still proceeded onwards, towards the lowest part of the facility.
"Thats good, your now doing fine on using your new powers jake." Dragna said, complimenting jake on the formation of a helmet
They were now walking at the hallway with milky leading the way.
"You lot gave your powers to him?" Milky
"Yes, in order to fight the dangers ahead." Dragna
"Should i also give him mine?" Milky
"If you want to." Dragna
"Well, let me think about it." Milky said with an uncertain smile before they arrived to the underground facility
"You stay right there jake burns! You are seriously violating international laws by breaking in to this place!" Said one of the security guards
"No, once you made this move, you guys violated the rights of natasha." Jake said before dragna fired her energy blast around the facility
The security guards all retaliated with bullets but was deflected by the turtles psychic barrier, where they walked until milky pointed them to natasha.
"Hey nat! Are you ok?" Jake said upon arriving
Natasha was being held inside a device, much like the LHC, which has held all her limbs with wires, all naked and shriveled.
"First my boyfriend betrays me, now my country betrays me. Jake, is there any justice in this world?" Nat said with a dry and weak mouth
"Dont worry, we will get you out of here." Jake said as he drew a blade in his right hand and cut the wires that were holding her limbs.
With her now at hand, dragna then made a towel out of magic, and then finally got their way out of the facility. They then flew towards the west, towards tokyo, japan.
“are you alright nat?” jake said, as he was healing her
“thank you master jake, thank you.” nat
“do you want to be safe?” jake
“anything, as long as its away from here.” nat said with a tear on her eye before she fainted
“she hasn’t eaten anything, oh poor girl.” jake said as he was stroking her hair
After a some more hours of flying, they then arrived at tokyo hospital where jake admitted her there, which is now early int he morning in japan.
“what really happened to her?” aki said as he visited the room of the hospital where jake was in
“well, she got experimented on by the americans.” jake said as he was sitting on a chair besides the girls
“how cruel, to make someone of her status go through such hardships.” aki
“and I believe that mutants are still under the normal laws am I right?” jake
“i believe so, but I would have to check with my lawyers. Anyways, what you have done is truly a great international problem jake! I cant believe that you have brought it to my doorstep!” aki
“i am deeply sorry for this, I just need a place for her to stay momentarily while she recovers, thats all.” jake
“oh boy, this might even cause a war between your countries jake! As a friend and leader, I just cant let this pass by.” aki
“you may give the excuse to the public that I threatened your country into protecting her for the mean time if you want.” jake
“hahh.. your not getting the point jake--” aki
Jake cuts him off, “I know sir, but a great leader must make the hard decisions, specially when its for the greater good, right?”
“hahh.. i get what you mean. But if anything goes wrong here, I wont be responsible for it, you got me?” aki
“yes sir, thats all I need.” jake said as they shook hands
*ring*
“speaking of the devil, its general bruce.” jake said as he holds his old style phone
“answer it, im here for you.” aki
“hello?” jake said as he answers the call
“jake! What the hell you think you were doing?! I had everything under control before--”
Jake cuts him off, “I was just rescuing a friend, thats all. Besides, she also said she wont be coming back there.”
“i had it all under control jake! Just one more push from the president and I would have freed her the right way!”
“i also did the right way, no one was killed and I get to rescue a friend.”
“i know, but you could have killed someone! And the president isnt pleased at all.”
“to hell what that jerk wants! As long as I get to rescue my friend, which is the right thing to do.”
“hahh.. fine--” bruce said before there was a silence
“hello? General? You there?”
“sorry jake, got some news for you.”
“what is it?”
“it seems that the aliens have started to move.”
“tell me the whole story general, leave no detail behind.”
“alright. When we monitored them using our satellites, they were summoning more ships in between earth and the moon. But now, they just summoned some kind of planet! By the very size of mars itself, right beside the moon!”
“wait, arent there people who are constructing the space stations in space?”
“i had them all evacuated when the aliens arrived. The mission was to help first on the construction of the moon colony, and good thing too, since we got to evacuate all of them near earth.”
“Thats good. Though tell me more about this planet that they have summoned.”
“from the pictures brought by our satellite telescopes, it shows that the mars sized planet crashed with the moon, as if they deliberately placed it there!”
“so the moon is no more huh.”
“yes, and the mars like planet is also part cybernetic, I think. Since its got some sort of metal ring on it.”
“i see, I get the picture now. The ring would also probably have a planet destroyer laser there, so for how long did the mars like planet arrive?”
“just now, when we are talking right now.”
“then there is no time to waste.” jake said before he cuts the line. “girls, lets summon all the divine beasts towards space.”
“what?! you intend to battle in space?! and who are these girls?” aki
“yes, me and the divine beasts intend to settle the score once and for all. Oh, meet dragna and milky by the way.” jake
“im dragna, the red dragon. Nice to meet you.” dragna said as she stood and shook hands
“and im milky, the snake of the milky way from aztec legends.” milky said as she stood and shook hands
“are they for real jake?” aki said confused
”then, follow me at the roof, where you will see.” jake said as he stood
After that, they all went to the roof, where both of the girls transformed.
“whoa! But these are monsters jake!” aki said as he fell on his back crawling backwards
“yes, they are. At the same time, they are sacred beasts of myth and legend. Anyways, gotta go now.” jake said as he rode on dragna
They then rode towards the skies, where aki saw 4 more sacred beasts trailing behind them.
“hes actually telling the truth.” aki said as he almost peed his pants
They were now at 10 thousand feet up in the air, where they stopped for a while for a strategy meeting.
“hey guys, can I really fight in space?” jake
They were all now in their human forms, flying in the sky.
“yes you can, just imagine yourself wearing an armor and with weapons.” tiger
“you did train with a weapon right?” red
“yes, I did. Back at the astral plane.” jake
“good. Then imagine also air surrounding you as you go towards space.” black
“really? I could do that?” jake
“yes. With our powers now flowing through you as well, you can summon any element you wish.” drago
”alright then, but first, whats the plan?” jake
“well, you trained with a battle strategist, you make the plan.” tiger
“alright then.” jake said as he was deep in thought.
“note that the best we can do is to battle against their flying ships.” milky
“no worries. And since its a planet that we are facing against, then a planet must also have its own eco system.” jake
“you mean it must have its own set of elements, am I right?” dragna
“yes. It has its own nature in the planet. So we can work with that.” jake
“but they have unknown technologies! What should we do about that?” black
“our only option now is to fight them head on. Though first, I would like to try something.” jake
“what is that?” dragna
“negotiate with them.” jake
“what?!” all of them said
“are you mad?! ancient humans even had a hard time sealing them off!” milky
“i know, but I have to try.” jake
“alright then jake, we trust you, and we will leave the negotiations to you.” drago said as everyone reluctantly agreed
“then, lets get started shall we?” jake said as he puts on his armor
His armor has a helmet with mouth cover, a breast plate, protectors, boots, and chainmail all the rest of his body and joints.
“looks good on you jake.” dragna said as they all agree
“thanks.” jake said with a smile
After that, they then transformed back to their sacred beasts form before heading towards space. After a few minutes of travel, they then arrived at the alien planet, where they were greeted with laser fire from fighter ships.
“will leave you lot here, so have fun for now!” jake said as he flew straight towards the colossal ring that was encircling the whole planet
While jake flew past the fighters, the divine beasts all took care of those fighters, while avoiding their fusion warheads. Meanwhile, jake went straight towards the bridge of the rotating planetary destroyer laser, and broke their window just to get inside.
“greetings jake burns, we were expecting you.” said the aliens on the bridge
As the window repairs itself, jake displayed a fraction of his power by coating himself with electricity.
“so, is this my welcoming party?” jake said with a smug
“no, this will be your end jake burns--” the aliens said
Jake cuts them off, “for a moment please, I have something to discuss with you.” he said as he powers down and descends towards the ground.
“what is it?” the aliens said
“what made you think of destroying us, when we have done nothing against you?” jake
“true, but your civilization has now advanced thus far but you are still waging wars over each other.” the aliens said
“true, but that doesnt include you, does it?” jake
“yes, but for the sake of all the planets in this universe, we must exterminate you.” the aliens said
“alright then, on to another topic. Why us? Why you aliens visited us in the first place?” jake
“in the beginning, we had always visited other worlds and supported them, but each world would always cast us out, and this world was among those worlds.” the aliens said
“why were you casted out?” jake
“we don’t know, and we don’t care anymore. As a specie where we communicate and connect as one entity, we have no need for such trivial things as what you call, emotions.” the aliens said
“i see. So if you have visited many worlds, what did you do to them?” jake
“as we grew tired of their ways, and as we saw that they were the same with your species, we also exterminated them.” the aliens said
“alright then, where did you came from? and why come to different worlds?” jake
“we are as one, we came from no one except for the queen. Though you may not meet with the queen, for she is sacred.” the aliens said
“and why go to different worlds?” jake
“our queen says that it is one of our mission to go towards other worlds and know life beyond, but later on, we came to know it was a mistake knowing other life.” the aliens said
“were you guys always like this? Since forever?” jake
“yes, since as long as we remember.” the aliens said
“alright then, back to my question. Why do you need to exterminate us? Cant there be peace between us?” jake
“we need to exterminate you so that we can populate our perfect specie into your planet.” the aliens said
“why?” jake
“from the information we derived from the mind of this, frank sanders, your planet seems to be more violent than we thought. Which is why you need to be exterminated.” the aliens said
“cant there be peace between us? Instead of war?” jake
“no. We are the perfect specie, thus we don’t need any more species which arent perfect.” the aliens said
“did you know of one of our sayings, beauty is in the eye of the beholder? You cant always judge us when you have not really met us.” jake
“what is there to judge? When we are the perfect specie.” the aliens said
“why?” jake
“we act as one, we connect as one, we have no wars, we control everything in our power, and we are invincible.” the aliens said
“then there is no peace between perfect beings and imperfect beings?” jake
“yes.” the aliens said
“what will you need from us, so that we can achieve peace?” jake
“nothing!” the aliens said
“then its settled.” jake said before going out of the window again and into space
After that, jake then joins the fight by striking lightning towards the alien fighters. They all then gathered around jake after their fight was over, transforming back into human form.
“jake, what happened?” dragna
”it was no use.” jake
”I see.” dragna
“So what do we do now with the planet?” drago
”I can summon lightning storms all over the planet, but im not sure if it can actually do anything to the whole population itself.” jake
“they are all getting ready as we speak, and the new wave of fighters will come for us!” black
“let them come! I can do this all day.” tiger
“you knuckle head, we cant do this all day! They have a whole population of an entire planet! This would take us at least many years! And we don’t have that much time!” black
“oh, its that bad huh.” tiger
“hahh..” they said sighing
“anyways, my analysis tells me that the destruction of that ring around the planet takes priority.” jake
“i might also agree on that” black
“as long as I get to hit things, thats fine with me!” tiger
“how crude, but I would have to agree with tiger just this once.” red
“im in.” dragna
“me too.” milky
“all is in agreement then, shall we start? Before they will?” drago said before facing the planet
“agreed.” they all said as they face the planet
With that said, the 6 of them transformed back to their sacred beast form, and they all prepare to fire an energy blast, concentrating on jake who is at the center. But when the aliens found what they were about to do, they also made their own attack, by activating the ring around the planet. The ring around the planet then separated itself into 5 intersecting rings, where a hole opens up in the middle.
“gosh, that wasn’t the main cannon that I destroyed?” jake said while he is still gathering energy from all 6 sacred beasts
Then the hole in the middle produced so much energy, that it created its own gravitational waves, as much as jake did with gathering energies from the sacred beasts.
“i think I shouldnt let all this charging go on, due to all the gravitational waves being made.” jake said as he was almost fully charged
After a short while of charging, both parties then shoots their own energy blast, which made even more gravitational waves in space time. As energy intersects with energy, it then made a rip in space time, forming a mini black hole 1/3 the size of the moon.
“get out of here! All of you!” jake shouted towards the sacred beasts
But as they all fled from the black hole, jake couldn’t make it in time and was sucked in towards the black hole.
“jake! No!” they all said after they transformed back to human form
They could now only watch as the black hole also goes towards the alien planet to swallow it, as it was nearer than the earth.
"Ugh.. where am i?" Jake
It was a dark place, where jake was thrown off to, also where the only light in the area is a light from some sort of dark tree.
"Welcome jake, to the place beyond time and space." Death said as he approached him from the side
"Whoa, am i dead?" Jake
"Almost. Actually, im the one who took you here." Death
"Really? Thats a relief." Jake
"Why is it relief knowing your not dead?" Death
"Because i still have some things left to do back home. So, aside from where this is, what is that?" Jake said pointing towards the black tree
"That is what the ancients call, the yggdrasil. Though its actually the tree of possibility." Death
"Tree of possibility? Then im really outside space time this time." Jake
"Yes. And within each very thin branch of that tree is the possibilities for each important event in time." Death
"Well, scientists say that possibilities are true for each person, and that the multiverse is endless." Jake
"Well, they are right about that. You see, each little branch towards an event is supported and made up of possibilities for each person." Death
"I see." Jake
"And the big branches represent big events such as world war 2 and so on." Death
"And how did i end up here with you?" Jake
"I pulled you out from being sucked in the infinite number of possibilities itself." Death
"What happens when being sucked?" Jake
"It could have torn your body into pieces, leaving your soul to wander from every dimension, even in a fantasy dimension that you humans would always imagine about." Death
"And why are you here death? Arent you the one who manages life and death?" Jake
"Yes, as well as managing the life and death of many other souls in the multiverse. Believe me, there are some universes in that tree you really dont want to go." Death
"So this is why your just so very busy from the start?" Jake
"Yes, which is also why i picked you jake." Death
"What? Why me?" Jake
"You have always wondered that right? On why you are one of the chosen ones." Death
"Yes death, why me?" Jake
"Aside from the fact that your fate would be no different, since your destiny shows that you will have that job and become a lab rat no matter what, your courage to live on in spite of all the difficulties proves to be one of the great qualities of a hero. Plus your realistic, which makes choosing you all the more." Death
"I see. I wont say thank you for choosing me, but thank you, for being with me." Jake said with a smile
"Your welcome jake." Death
They shook hands as a form of trust.
