It only took like half a week, but here is the second part. (Its been done for a few days just haven't been bored enough to type it up
)
Geo and
Raged paced around the schoolyard. It had been almost two weeks since they last heard from their friend,
Magus. Now out of the blue he called them, and asked them to meet him at the school yard in 10 minutes. They dropped everything they were doing and rushed over to the schoolyard to meet him. As they walked back and forth, glancing at the clock as they did, they grew more nervous as the minute hand moved further away from their designated time.
Finally when they were beginning to lose hope, they felt a minor tremble beneath their feet. They thought nothing of it. Then it happened again this tim heavy enough to sway their balance. Then it became a full scale earthquake as the ground beneath them began to rock back and forth. The quakes stopped suddenly.
Out of the dust walked a man,
Geo made out the figure first. It was
Magus, he rushed over to his friend to greet him.
Magus was taken aback by his friend's show of concern.
Raged was not as pleasant. Demanding to know where
Magus had been for the past two weeks.
"You won't believe it anyway, but I will tell you,"
Magus began his speech, "I was learning to unlock my true potential. My hidden skills as it were."
Geo and
Raged looked puzzled.
Raged was the first to speak and he questioned
Magus about this "unlocking your potential/hidden powers" thing.
"This will start to sound crazy, but trust me it isn't."
Magus pleaded before he began his story proper. "So it seems that my body houses the power of an ancient being. One that was hunted and "handled" before they became a problem. This guy was able to send out his cosmic energy before he was finally vanquished." There was a break in the story.
"We are not saying we don't believe you, but this is a bit of a stretch, no?" Geo had to ask.
"If you don't believe me, I will give you a demostration."
Magus told them to stand back. The ground began to shake once again, "You see I control the earth and the ground." He continued his demostration by rising the ground level than lower it. "I am still learning but I have basic control over it." He said as he returned the schoolyard back to normal.
This time
Geo and
Raged's jaws were on the floor. "That was awesome man!"
Geo said when he was finally able to speak.
Raged was a little more apprehensive to applaud his friends new found abilities. He simply patted him on the back and walked away.
After
Raged left,
Geo turned to
Magus, "Do you plan on coming home now?"
"I wish, but you saw my skills only after two weeks. Imagine a month or even six months!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Books, bags and lamps flew across the room.
Raged was upset, he was furious and he was jealous. How could life be so cruel to him. He liked
Geo and dealt with
Magus, but he always felt between the three of them he was always the most special. He would be the one to go on and do good things. Now life played its cruel hand, and it was
Magus who came out with the extraordinary gifts.
He began tossing more stuff across in the room in his anger. "Yes that anger is what I have always enjoyed most about you,
Raged."
Raged stopped his tantrum to find the source of the voice. There was no one else in the room. "Do not worry to find me. Just know that like your friend, I can help you become special. I can help you make a difference."
'You can? How?"
Raged was intrigued. Maybe the universe didn't hate him.
"Let me worry about all the details. You just know we have a lot of work to do!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Geo sat in his bed playing around with a tiny scythe. It was odd how a symbol of death reminded him of good times. He remembered the one Halloween that he,
Maguss and
Raged all dressed like death, an angel and Father Time. The good times was all he had to hold onto these days. It had been a little more than a month since
Magus' disappearance, and while he surfaced for that single afternoon nothing else was heard for him. Now, it has also been two weeks or so since
Raged
s disappearance. And
Geo figured with the strange circumstances around
Raged's disappearance that they were connected.
Geo could no longer bear to be in his own head so he rolled out of bed. He began to dance away the demons in his room with his scythe. The mini-adventure allowed him to clear his head.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hours later,
Geo slept with the scythe on his stomach. It had bought him some comfort on the day. As he drifted off to sleep, he swore he felt himself rise off the mattress, but it was only a dream. A dream where he was gently floating through the sky.
As he floated around, a strange man in a hooded mask approached him, walking on the air. "Young
Geo, "the strange man started, "unlike your friends you did not posses a certain quality that drew my powers to you."
Geo felt insulted. "Do not feel that way my friend," the strange man spoke sensing
Geo's disappointment, "I was just commanding you. While your friend,
Magus, had stone walled himself off from most of society, your other friend,
Raged, had secretly been attempting to hide a temper that would frighten most volcanoes. You on the other hand had always seemed so level headed, so calm and so rationale. Then I realized why my powers were drawn to you."
"Your powers?"
Geo butted in.
"Aww yes. You see the powers your friends have gained were mine first." The strange man explained how he was
Thear an elemental being that was destroyed years ago because society was afraid of his potential. He than told
Geo the details of his death and how he now lives on in 5 pieces. "And that brings us to you. Your friends already control the elements of earth and fire. There is a 3rd who was born with a natural skill to control water. You however have the most special of elements. You will control the air and the wind. It does not seem like much, but it is the element we all need to breathe to survive and it is always around us."
"This sounds cool and all, but how do I know this simply isn't a dream?"
"A dream dear man. You are awake. Wide awake. Do you want me to pinch you to prove it?"
Thear began to laugh.
"How? What?"
Geo was confused now as well.
"You seemed to have began showing abilities before you are properly trained. That is good and will come in handy. For with my powers, you will be invincible! No one will stand in our way?"
"Invincible? Why would I want to be invincible? And stand in our way? Why would anyone?"
"You will make enemies
Geo, but now that I have nothing but the best interest of this planet in my heart. So if you choose, we may begin.'
