The Zypher: The Four Season


"You had to go through 15 years without me after what happened then... I was too weak and unable to be there for you and to that... I say that I can not be worthy of your love, I loved you but I only thought of my student than you." Bertana was furious with him but she let it go easily, "remember when we had our first child? He had your eyes and my stubbornness and do you know what you said exactly to us?" Rekxzan chuckled, "I told you that I will protect them both and that I failed." Rekxzan left in a flash leaving Bertana to sulk by herself, Cal entered in and went to hug her, she could see in his eyes how they glowed as her son did, Cal stood up apologizing in the process, "I'm sorry Bertana but I have to find a way to restore the order but it's going to be harder for me as long as they are in my way." Bertana stood up and understood Cal's situation, "you have to tough with the Quiluthazon's. They have been a problem for us since day one." Cal stopper with what she had just said, "I didn't say I was fighting with them... I'm at war with a certain fleet." Bertana started to realize it and called all of her workers immediately, "ladies... It seems we have a spy in our ranks... And not any spy that we train with but a spy that is working with the Quiluthazon's." All the girls gasped with fear, "and I think I already know who it may be... Natalie... I would like you to get me a drink... If you could be so kind." Natalie did that and began pouring Bertana a drink, "my apologies im just thirsty that's all but... The spy among us... Is (drinks the cherry then throws the glass at Natalie) now get her!" All of the girls immediately did what they were told and they had her pinned on the floor, "what is the meaning of this?!" Bertana spits out the drink which was unexplainable how she was able to do so.

"Yes, you've got me I am the spy, and my master is after you and the boy." Bertana leaned and asked who was her master, "my master is Xernanthal Cernada." That name echoed in Cal's mind and he realised, "Cernada? As in the Purger? The man that hunted down some of THE dangerous creatures? THAT Cernada?" Natalie confirmed it, "I am well aware that you and my master are partners in crime stating you as... (bleep) That's what he says about you." Cal laughed about it, "I think what he meant to say was kick-ass agent, awesome wingman, drinking Ireland... Man back in the day we tore it up... As 5-year-old." Bertana gave Cal a stern look, "and his contract, he was the most experienced fighter and decided to align with the Zedi."

"Well can you blame him? He always hated giving you learn from that fat glob... What was his name?" Reeve pointed it out, "me? ... I was that fat glob and I hope you brought a spare pair of undies because you're dead meat." Cal dashed out of Bertana's home and immediately went to hide in the ship until... A ship started to shoot at Reeve, it knocked Cal out while Reeve protected him from the ship. The ship landed and someone immediately came dashing out and attacking Reeve, "surrender the child!" Reeve was not going to allow that, "if you want then you have to take me down." Reeve and the aggressive fighter brawled until backup arrived, "I won't forget this... Remember that." The stranger dashed back into his ship and escaped, "great, now that they know that Cal does exist, it will be a matter until they find him."

Echo looked at Cal and saw that he was bleeding but it wasn't red like normal humans bled instead blue blood, "isn't this kid human?" Reeve looked at Cal and realised that there was a label embedded on his leg, "Cal isn't human." Echo and Bertana were surprised by this, "wait... Why didn't I see this before?" There was a power core strapped on Cal's arm when Bertana touched it... It started to act funny by changing its colour but it then acted crazy. "I suggest you leave the boy where he is now and leave him be for the time being." Reeve understood what he had to do but Echo didn't, "won't they be after him?" Bertana endured Echo that he was going to be safe, "they will but they will have quite a shock when they see it." Bertana, Echo and Reeve left Cal on the ground while they entered the ship, "okay did you... Woah... Hello, hottie... So she Bertana... Never knew she was this hot." Reeve told Phen to get them out of Zaizal, "what about..." Reeve would explain it to her but not now, "right now we have to go somewhere... Cal will be fine and we will be bringing him back in just 1 second... Don't believe me? Then bring a stopwatch and I will prove it."
