Chapter 15:

Herk The Summon

Ane And His Seames


Ane lay on some water in a dark room. "What is this?" he whispered. The place instantly lit up; revealing a huge cage with a large paper on both gates. One had "Reflierase Stasgte" and the other had "Usnleecash Foullnd" written in them. "What in the world?" Ane asked as he eyed the cage to then see huge beast-like eyes opened in the cage and large fangs spread under it; grinning. 

"Annnnneeee." a deep and eerie voice boomed as a large claw poked out of the cage. Ane attempted to dodge but hands of the ominous chakra that had been emitting from him held him down. The claw barely grazed Ane's forehead and blood gushed from it as the aura possessed the boy's body.

"Am I...dying?" Ane thought before screaming in reality; holding his head and falling to his knees. The aura possessed him completely and there was momentary silence. The boy's body then began to crack and some inscriptions became visible on his chest area down to his stomach. Ane held his face and grinned evilly.

Lana watched from the shore as Ane transformed; Ene laying on her lap. "Those lines on his back and stomach are seals aren't they? They seemed somehow linked currently thought but the back one looks newer than the chest." Ene remarked as he too eyed Ane who now had lines visible on his back as well. The back seal shone red and a hand reached out of it.

"Is that a hand coming from Ane's back!?" Lana asked.

"Must be a summon then." Ene said squinting. A hooded figure wearing a black jacket, purple scarf, white and red mask and grey jeans who had pure purple eyes stepped out of Ane's back and grabbed the front seal as the back seal vanished. 

"Black Lightning Seal." the figure remarked. Black lightning casually leaked from the figure's hand which was still on Ane's stomach. The hooded figure turned it's hand and Ane's eyes rolled up and spit dripped from his mouth. The auras vanished and Ane plopped into the sea. Olly frowned.

"You're in my way!" he screamed. The hooded figure looked up to see Olly's fist inches from him. He ducked then watched the teens on the shore.

"Help Ane." his voice commanded directly to the teens' minds.

"Telepathy?" Ane thought gulping.

"You have to help him, Lana." Ene said watching her. Lana bit her lip as she glanced at the sea. Ene stared silently as the girl stood up; eyes shielded. The hooded figure paced across the water; Olly besides him.

"What is your name? You are fast." Olly asked.

"So my speed's greater than my power then?" the hooded figure inquired; laughing. "The name's Herk!" he then remarked after; punching Olly away. Olly rolled back and skidded to a stop to then scream at Herk who turned to mist to then appear besides Olly. Herk fired a punch to the creature's stomach send it rolling away. Olly lay on the water for a few seconds before sinking into it. "Tsk." Herk said. "I have a bad feeling." he thought as he jumped up just before Olly spat from the water and grabbed Herk's foot. The hooded figure was pelted away.

"YOU MIGHT BE FAST ABOVE WATER!" Olly yelled as he smiled crazily as he sunk down again. "But I'm unstoppable underwater." he continued as he completely sunk. Herk frowned.

"Oh boy, Ane. You really have bad luck." he thought smirking.

Ane slowly sunk deeper into the water. "So this is it huh?" he thought as bubbles blew from his mouth. "I can't shift a muscle." he continued thinking as his air bubbles stopped slowly. "I wonder...what the heck's going on up there." he thought as he closed his eyes.

"Respiration By Kiss" Lana's voice whispered. Ane opened his eyes to see a shining Lana kiss him; some of her elemental energy flowing into him through the kiss. Lana backed away; blushing slightly.

"That was an interesting kiss." Ane said with a grin. Lana went red.

"You perv." she scolded; playing in her hair.

"Wait! What am I doing!? I should be drowning!" Ane yelled in confusion as he continued gliding but Lana held him.

"I gave...well shared my ability to breath underwater with you." Lana explained.

"You can breathe underwater." Ane said as he stared quizzically. Lana nodded and Ane then watched up and Olly and Herk fighting. "Who's the guy in the hood?" he asked.

"I honestly don't know. Ene said something about him being a summon or something." Lana answered.

'Who summoned him though?" Ane inquired.

"You, I think. He did emerge from your back." Lana replied as she eyed the boy who blinked back blankly. He then eyed his back which was red and then his entire upper body to see he was bareback. There was a circle on his stomach(the seal). "That's a seal." Lana remarked stooping and staring at the boy's stomach. Ane blushed as he saw the girl's breasts before looking away.

"I guess it is huh?" he said nervously; scratching his head. "I can shift now a bit, hm." he then thought.

"Well we should help out that summon of yours." Lana said before looking up.

"Herk can handle himself." Ane remarked.

"Herk?" Lana asked turning to the boy who's eyes were blurred. Ane blinked out of the trance.

"What just happened?" he questioned blankly.

"Let's just head up to the shore." Lana replied.

"O...k." Ane said as he and the girl swam up.

Ane flipped to the shore and Lana shot to it. They landed next to each other. "I thought you died on me there, Ane." Ene teased. Ane smiled and watched Ene to the get a concerned expression.

"You look like a mess." he remarked.

"That makes the both of us." Ene said grinning. Ane laughed guiltily while rubbing the back of his head to then turn to the ocean.

Olly was flashing from here and there hitting Herk about but the hooded figure didn't retaliate. "I might be able to dodge plenty of his attacks but not all but it should be good enough just dodging the fatal blows." Herk thought before forming into mist and reappearing aside where Olly had flashed to. Herk then flung aside his own body to prevent getting hit by Olly's second tackle.

"So you could've actually avoided most of them." Olly remarked as he flashed across the ocean consistently; all around Herk.

"He must've seen through my counterattack." Herk thought with a sigh. "I guess I'll have to at least try against him a little." he continued thinking to receive a kick in the chin that sent him spinning into the air. Olly stretched his hands upwards and wrapped them around Herk and pulled the figure down. Herk held the surface of the water to avoid entering the ocean. "No way I'm entering under. If I do I'm a goner." Herk thought sucking his teeth for a second.

"What's wrong Herk? Scared to enter my terrain?" Olly teased laughing.

"Is this all you can do?" Herk inquired with a laugh. "How pathetic." he insulted making Olly frown.

"Oh really? You're mocking me when you're the one in a tight spot right now?" Olly barked. Herk remained silent for a few seconds.

"Scarf." he said calmly. The scarf he was wearing unwrapped around him and flew besides him. "Shadow!" Herk shouted. A solid shadow with white eyes formed with the scarf around it's neck. "You already know what to do." Herk remarked as he struggled to stand. The shadow shot into the ocean at Olly who frowned before getting punched in the face. A katana engulfed in electricity formed in the shadow's other hand just before it slashed at Olly who forcefully let Herk go as he sunk back; blood spilling from his chest. Olly then vanished and reemerged behind the shadow with a monstrous look before slashing the entity apart. The shadow dispersed into smoke and the scarf wrapped around Olly. "Scarf Bind!" Herk shouted from above the water. Olly roared as he struggled in vain to escape before eying Herk who smiled back mockingly. Olly frowned.

"You bastard!" he screamed; sending a sonic wave at Herk who sidestepped with ease to then raise a finger making the scarf spin with Olly before shooting out the water and into the air.

"This is the end fish." Herk said as his hoodie blew off; revealing his dark blue hair.
