Chapter 39:

Iy's Birth

Ane And His Seames


A siren echoed throughout a lab filled with large test tubes. A hand weakly rose onto a tube and Chris stood up; bleeding all over. He slammed himself continuously into the fogged up glass of a test tube and a green liquid poured out along with a figure. Chris fell onto the floor. "Ane; get me his blood. You must kill Ane Nickerson." Chris said weakly.

"Kill Ane Nickerson. Iy shall kill Ane Nickerson." a voice boomed. A large figure with a cloak around it rose to it's feet; it's large eye gleaming.

The sun was rising and the beach empty. Wood seemed to grow from the sand and form into Ane and Lana who fell onto the sand; panting. "Guys!" Eina's voice echoed. Lana and Ane watched up to see Eina about to launch Ene from a cannon.

"What's going on here?" Lana asked blinking.

"Oh; I was about to launch some fireworks to indicate to you guys where we were." Eina explained innocently.

"So...Ene's the fireworks." Ane said slowly.

"I did not agree to this!" Ene yelled as he wiggled out of the cannon. "Anyway; where have you two been?" he inquired; watching Ane and Lana.

"It doesn't matter really. The thing that matters is why did you risk teleporting directly on the beach. Plus, that was a nature teleportation. Neither of you use those." Eina remarked.

"Well...you see." Ane began; scratching his cheek.

Ray stood next to a campfire; nervously eying the bandaged Sal.  Ane slowly woke up from where he lay nearby and eyed around slowly.

"When Sal wakes up; you two can go back." Ray stated; smiling at Ane. 

"I guess so." Ane said calmly. "Where's Lana?" he asked after momentary silence.

"She went to take a bath in a stream somewhere." Ray replied. Ane sighed.

"Again; this "beach day" was a bust." he complained as he stood up.

"So what now?" Ray inquired.

"Wake me up when it's time." Ane said as he went onto a hammock. Ray nodded.

Ane, Lana, Ray and Sal stood in the tent. "Are you two ready?" Sal asked. Ane nodded.

"Wait!" Ray yelled. She rose and kissed Ane on the cheeks. "Thanks for everything." she remarked as she ran off. Ane blinked blankly and Lana was pouting. Sal smiled and rose his hand.

"That's my daughter for you." he thought. "Nature Style: Teleportation." he said. The teens turned to wood and shattered; a leaf blowing to the ground.

"The leaf was the elemental symbol of that teleportation I presume?" Ane concluded as he pointed at a leaf on the ground. Eina nodded.

"So I guess this day and yesterday was a bust so let's get the heck out of here!" Ene shouted; skipping off. Ane exhaled.

"Yeah; let's go home!" he exclaimed smiling.

Sid and many other people were on a train which was casually going across the tracks. "I can't believe these guys. They can't go around without doing havoc when I'm not around. I can't just close down the "Black Fangs" though." he thought exhaling. "I missed so much days of school." he complained out loud. Some people strayed from him; staring in fear and he sighed. "I should have just flown." he thought. A screeching sound was heard as the train came to a sudden stop and Iy stood in front of the vehicle.

"Ane Nickerson!" it screamed as it punched the train; causing it to flip over. The train then vanished into a shadow which Iy turned to; eye gleaming. Sid landed on the rails and the train appeared behind Iy and drove off. 

"That's gonna be global news." Sid remarked sighing.

"Ane Nickerson?" Iy asked; tilting it's head.

"What is it with Ane and hooded enemies." Sid thought raising an eyebrow. "I'm not Ane but I know him. If you wanna get to him; you'll have to defeat me!" he yelled; grinning.

"Iy only need kill Ane! Iy no need kill Sid!" Iy exclaimed. The lights flickered and Sid was behind Iy. Blood sprayed from the creature's chest. 

"Shadow Strike." Sid remarked calmly. Iy roared and seemed to twitch unnaturally. Sid suddenly got smacked into the wall and Iy's body then phased into a position of it striking Sid in his previous position. "He's so fast, his hits strike before he even shifts." Sid thought as he stood.

"Iy is feeling weird in chest!" Iy yelled.

"It's pain you ass!" Sid said as he rose a hand. "Shadow." he said. A living shadow appeared next to him; hand around the boy's neck. "Let's do this buddy." Sid remarked. The shadow chuckled and charged Iy who roared; blasting away the shadow and shattering the walls and roof. "What the hell?" Sid said as he was forced to his knees by the sonic scream. Iy stopped screaming and stood still. It's eye gleamed. "That eye." Sid whispered. Iy shot to him and kicked the teen in the gut to then uppercut him and punch him into the wall again. The shadow wrapped itself around Iy and completely covered the creature. "Shadow Suffocation." Sid said smiling slightly. Iy roared and his eye gleamed before a huge blast spat across the area. The roof and walls gave way and Iy roared and ran off on the rails. Sid fell to the ground. "Shit, the area is gonna..." he thought weakly. Liquid gold surrounded him and then slid across the area; fixing everything as they crushed. "What is this?" Sid whispered.

"Just me." Ms. Goldenburg said as she hopped to the boy. "You...haven't been attending school." she scolded after.

"T-that doesn't matter miss, no offense. I n-need to get to...A..." Sid began to then collapse.

"Ane huh." Ms. Goldenburg thought; smiling. She eyed the rail and Iy's scream echoed through it. "My hubby sure has enemies." she stated.

The Masked Man sat on top of a building eyeing Iy shoot across the city rooves. "I have a feeling something interesting will take place again." MM remarked. "What about you?" he asked; turning to Lance; Ene's father who stood there.

"So you detected me. Just as I'd expect." Lance remarked; smiling.

"What is your reason for approaching me?" MM inquired.

"Oh, I just came to warn you. I can smell the smoke and I have a feeling..." Lance began with a chuckle. "The flames are about to make their presence known!" he yelled with an insane grin.

"Is that so?" MM asked; turning away and then teleporting off. Lance grinned and then laughed crazily.

"Soon, very soon." he stated; walking off.
