A message from under the sea, idiot runs, idiots fight, one meets their maker

“Oh it’s good to be home,” said Cudmore as he led Josiah in.

They were back in GLB City. They had reached Josiah’s home in which he shared with Cudmore for the time being. The home was almost in the center of GLB City. It was a one story home that housed more pictures of the both of them than any tabloid would if they were famous. The front hallway was covered in their pictures that were created by Josiah’s own photographic eye prior to his blinding.

“You can let my hand go now,” said Josiah. Cudmore let go as Josiah pulled out his stick from his pocket. It extended and he started walking through the hallway.

Cudmore closed the door and inhaled. He said, “I love the smell of home.” He looked down at his forearm where the patch of hair was missing and noticed it was starting to turn red as if a rash was forming. The weird thing was that it was not itching. “By the way I do feel better than before. It’s weird.”

“Of course,” said Josiah as he walked through the living room towards the phone. “Is it blinking?”

Cudmore walked over and looked down at the answer machine and said, “Yes.” He pressed the button.

The machine said, “You have one message you sexy, sexy person.”

Cudmore laughed. “I can’t get use to a machine calling you sexy.”

Josiah smiled, “Well I am and it notices because it’s a smart machine. It knows what’s hot.” He pressed the button to play the message.

“Hi,” said the voice, “it’s been a while. I’m going to visiting. I wonder if you’d like to get some coffee. By the way this is Shawn. If you’d want to contact me you could reach me at this number. But I’ll be away from this number in a couple of hours so don’t bother if it’s been a while. I’ll see you soon. Later.” The machine beeped and the time stamp was hours ago.

Josiah did not say anything he seemed to be absorbing what he had just heard.

“You didn’t see this one coming,” Cudmore asked looking at Josiah.

Josiah just shook his head.

“Must be a weird feeling to have happen to you if you’re not prepared to see or hear it,” said Cudmore. “Now you know how I feel.” He stormed out of the room.

Josiah wanted to go after Cudmore and comfort him but he was afraid if he did that he would be faking concern. He could not deny that Shawn calling him was beyond exciting. His heart was beating faster than before. He had started feeling sick like Cudmore but had hid it better. This was something that was a major boost to how he felt.

Josiah moved away from the machine and sat down on the couch. His eyes looking straight ahead with their white opaque gloss making him seem more unaware than he really was. He took a deep breath to gain control of his excitement. He wanted to tell everyone he was contacted by Shawn but how would he do that? How would he do it that would not be seen as showing off but get people who needed to know to know. He especially wanted JJ to know about it because that would be a blow to his ego.

Matthew hit Adin in the back of the head with both hands clasped together. Adin turned to try and hit Matthew but missed. Marc grabbed Adin’s arm and pulled him back. Matthew hit Adin in the gut as hard as possible. Adin groaned in pain for the first time.

Jake was between Ali and the three that were fighting. He was trying to keep her out of harms way. They were a few yards away. “I think we should get out of here before Cathy comes out and wants to play,” said Jake as he kept Ali back.

Ali shouted, “Matthew let’s go.”

Matthew turned to look at Ali and that was when Adin backhanded Matthew making him almost fall on the ground. Matthew stuck his ground and hit Adin in the side again.

Marc said, “Go now I’ll keep him busy.”

“You talk as if I cannot hear you,” said Adin as he tried to hit Matthew again.

Marc hit Adin across the face with his orange rocky hand. “It doesn’t matter,” said Marc. “You’re not smart enough to do what is right.”

Matthew took that chance to turn around and run over to where Ali was. He pulled her and they headed to the forest. Jake looked at Marc and Adin still fighting. He wanted to stay to help out but he would be worthless. He bounced after Ali and Matthew.

A black portal opened and Cathy stepped out. She said, “Stop fighting you tards.”

Marc and Adin turned and looked at Cathy. Both were breathing a little heavy from their constant battling.

“Adin we have to go,” said Cathy. She waved him towards her, “Hurry up we’ve gotta go.”

Adin turned and hit Marc in the face and said, “Sorry gotta go, loser.” He ran towards the portal

Marc gritted his teeth and ran after Adin.

“You,” said Cathy, “are not invited.” She threw a hex bolt and hit Marc in the gut making him fly backwards. He hit the ground digging up a small trench of dirt.

Adin jumped into the portal and Cathy slowly followed him one leg at a time.

Kim breathed in through her nose and then did it again. She looked around the forest and saw no one and heard no one. She knew who she smelled. It was JJ. She would notice that scent anywhere. He has a very distinct smell. Though it smells good she had to gag because she could not bear to even think of anything from him as something of value.

She had to get to Will and tell him what Cathy was up to and warn him that the village idiot was on his way. She took off running again. She knew that if she whined to either Jeff or Will she would get what she wanted. That is how it worked. When she wanted something she would lie about how it actually affected her and be over dramatic and things would go her way. She cannot help it if Jeff and Will were too inept to notice how powerless they were under her emotional control.

Kim smiled. The trees blurred around her as she maneuvered around them at speeds that were super human.

“Wow,” said Wade as he looked up at the Democritic. “Who does that belong to?”

Dustin made a face and said, “You’re the telepath why don’t you tell us?” Dustin looked at the ship and said, “It’s okay. Nothing to wow about.” He kicked the tires. He pulled out his sword.

“Dustin, don’t,” said JJ as he noticed how he wanted to slash the tires.

Dustin rolled his eyes and placed the sword back in its sheath and said, “Party pooper.”

JJ smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

Bat pointed and said, “Look what we have here.” He jumped over to where two bodies lay on the ground. “Looks like they did not make it too far.” He looked down at Mat and Mike.

Dan said, “And Joel, right?” He pointed down at the green cloak wearing metal covered body that was lifeless on the ground. “Whoever it was that did the attacking had went inside.” Dan sniffed the air.

Twelve was standing in front of the ship with his hands touching the hull.

“What are you doing worshiping it’s awesome beauty,” Dustin asked.

Twelve pulled his hands away and said, “Funny.You.Should.State.That.”

“Really?” Dustin asked proud that he made Twelve see him as funny.

“No,” said Twelve.

Dustin almost made a pouting face.

“It.Was.Just.An.Appropriate.Phrase.To.Use,” said Twelve as he turned around. “The.Ship.Told.Me.He.Is.The.Democritic.And.He.Hails.From.Religion.City.He.

Belongs.To….”

“The Cult,” finished JJ.

“How.Did.You.Know.Of.Them,” Twelve asked.

“What other name could they possibly use being from Religion City,” JJ asked.

Twelve was perplexed.

“Oh really you’ve told me about them already,” said JJ.

“I.Must.Not.Have.Access.To.Those.Memory.Banks,” said Twelve. “Must.Be.

Because.Of.Being.Altered.Hopefully.Self.Diagnostics.Will.Alleviate.That.”

“Yes,” said JJ. “Well ready to go in and see what we find?” JJ headed to the front door walking over the three sprawled out bodies.

“I’m ready,” said Sara following him. “I think I can punch a couple more people in the face tonight before I’m too tired to do it any more.”

“Someone is coming,” said Wade as he looked up into the sky.

The dark sky was barely lit by the moon. Everyone did the not so bright thing and looked up into the sky as if they all had good night vision. They could see nothing until it was too late. The silver shine of the incoming person did not clue anyone in on who it was then the blue skin face came into sight.

“Adrian,” JJ said. “Take cover people.” He went to the small entry way the doors had and pressed his back against the wall. He continued looking up.

Sara took off into the sky without being asked and confronted Adrian. Then she came back down and said, “Come on out guys.”

Adrian landed.

JJ walked over and said, “How?”

“Well,” said Adrian as he had begun to explain how Josh had deactivated the mechanism that had him under control. How he was taken to Cathy’s for a small undercover mission and found out that Cathy would be coming to Jeff’s to try and get the throne. He had acquired that information through unethical means…well to him. “It was horrible,” he said of the experience. “I now understand why you call her a whore,” he said looking right at JJ.

“Are you all blue?” Sara asked eyeing him below the belt.

Adrian rolled his eyes.

“Blue balls,” Dan said laughing. Then he automatically stopped and said, “Sorry.”

“Nice adventure you had there,” said JJ. “Well we are going in to see what is going on because The Cult is in there doing something. They seem to be fighting Jeff’s people for some reason.”

“The Cult?” Adrian asked.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah,” said Dustin, “religion freaks. Okay? Good he’s been briefed let’s go kick some tail.”

“Tail huh?” JJ asked walking toward the door.

“Yes I did the responsible thing and censored myself,” said Dustin as he followed JJ toward the door.

“More like neutered,” said Sara as she walked past Dustin.

“Listen here bitch,” said Dustin and then he quickly said, “I mean female dog, my balls have not been taken they’re still right there.” He grabbed them.

“It.Is.True,” said Twelve. “His.Testicals.Are.Still.Intacted.This.Is.Not.Months.Ago.

When.He.Had.Them.Torn.Off.”

Sara laughed, “Oh I remembered that day. What a day that was. Must have been ball shattering for you Dustin especially.”

“You’ve become mean,” said Dustin.

“It’s the aggression,” said Sara. “I’m inheriting your aggression.”

“More like stealing it,” said JJ as he looked at them both. “Are y’all ok?”

They nodded.

“Alright,” JJ said at the front doors, “let’s get in there and have ourselves a ho down.” He opened the doors and walked in. Everyone else followed.

“Are you sure Will’s girls are going to be here,” shouted Wade. “Were they not supposed to be going to BS?”

“Again,” said Dustin as he was cut off.

“Yes I’m a telepath I should know,” said Wade rolling his eyes. He was the last one in the door. He had felt a bit of waking in the three that were outside. He shut the door put his hands against the door and transformed both into a solid wall.

“Looks like BS City will have to wait,” said Will as he stared at Kurt.

“Why does it have to wait,” said Kurt looking at Will. They were in the hallway.

Willpower was on the way to the hanger and The Cult was on their way to the throne room. They blocked each other’s way.

“You took the long way to the throne room,” said Will. “It’s a pity Jeff isn’t there for you to talk to. He’s napping.”

“Already,” Kurt asked confused. “I thought he wasn’t supposed to be doing that until a week and half from now.”

“Some things just move up,” Will said rising his eyebrows.

Kurt pointed his finger and said, “You wouldn’t have anything to do with that would you?”

“No,” said Will.

“Lying,” said Lindsey as her fist started to form pink energy.

“Well,” said Will as he looked over at the purple headed Lindsey and said to Kurt, “do you have a human lie detector.”

“I can talk for myself,” said Lindsey, “and no he does not. What he has is a telepath who knows you’re lying.”

“I’m not,” said Will.

“You want the throne,” said Lindsey. “It’s right there on the surface of your thoughts. You want to rule. You want to hold more power than you already do.”

“She never has lied to me,” said Kurt as his hand stretched out and hit Will across the face. His hand came back. “So you’re not going anywhere.”

“That would be a mistake,” said Will as he rubbed his jaw. “You pack a punch for being a rubber boy.”

“Wait until you feel mine,” said Lindsey as she ran towards him. She threw out her hand and sent out mental bolts that hit Steph, Kayla, Bri, Brianna and Liz. They were blinded for a moment as Lindsey aimed for Will.

Will said, “Oops.” He disappeared.

Lindsey stopped and looked around.

“He’s right there,” shouted Kurt.

“Hit him,” shouted Aron.

“I don’t see anything,” said Lindsey.

A punch came out of nowhere and hit her across the face. She could not see where it came from. “Your mistake,” said Will who was invisible from her sight.

Jordan ran up and said, “We save you.” He pulled Lindsey out of the way with webs. He then webbed Will in the face. Will started to squirm and pull it off his face because he had a hard time breathing.

“Ladies you have us to worry about,” said Jordan as he webbed Brianna in the face pulled her forward and punched her right in the eye. She started to bleed he hit her so hard.

Nate went for Kayla. He grabbed her by the leg and lifted her up towards the ceiling. “Looks like I caught a green one,” he said.

Kayla opened her eyes and saw Nate and said, “Green one? I’m not a fish you stupid four armed loser.” She then used her magnetic powers and manipulated his arms. She made it let her go and then made two of them sweep behind him knocking down Kurt and Aron. Then she used the other arm to knock Jordan against the wall.

Nate said, “You can manipulate metals?”

“Duh,” said Kayla as she made all the arms wrap around Nate. “I can do that quite well.” They started to strangle his body like pythons.

Liz said, “You just look gross.” She was looking at Jordan who was incased in a hole in the wall.

He looked at her and flicked his long tongue and said, “We think you’re ugly.” His teeth shown as he chomped at her.

She ran up to him with her arm extended. Her nails grew as she smiled and said, “I’m going to stab you now.”

“We don’t need commentary we’re not stupid,” said Jordan.

“Why the we,” she said as she stabbed him in the sides with her clawed hand.

Jordan screamed. He then moved his head right in front of her face to say, “You’re dead.” He grabbed her face and then started to crush it. Her screams were muffled by his massive hand.

Will slowly backed out of the fight. He pulled his cloak around his head and moved around the corner. He allowed the girls to take on the fight. His powers were flaring up again. He hated Josh.

“Will,” a voice whispered.

Will looked up and saw someone and said, “Who are you?”

She moved in closer and he saw and he was shocked.

“Yes,” said Kim. “Hi. Do you know Cathy is coming? She’s so mean. She made me cry by calling me fat.” Tears started to fall down her face. She had to really force them because she is dead and dead people do not need to cry often.

Will just stared at her then gave her a hug. “I’ll make it better.”

“Thank you,” Kim said.

“Anything for you,” said Will. “I’ve never seen you wrong anyone in my life. How could Cathy even call you fat? I’m sure you were every bit as great as you say.”

Though she did not even say anything like that.

Will turned and looked back at the fight. “We are having trouble,” he said as he pointed around the corner.

“I’m not feeling well,” said Kim.

“Help us defeat the Cult and you can relax,” said Will as he pulled her arm to go back and rejoin the fight.

“I really don’t feel well,” said Kim as her stomach started to churn in a violent way.

Will all the sudden moved away from her and started to fight Lindsey because he knew his powers worked on her.

Kim made it into the middle of the battle but could not do anything. She just crunched down on the ground. She could not move. The pain was becoming too much. She then exploded which stopped everyone from fighting.

Pieces of her landed on Steph, Kayla, Brianna, Aron, and Nate.

“What the hell,” said Aron as he looked down at the chunks of flesh that rested on him.

Right then a black portal opened up.

“Welcome home,” said Darph as he looked at Kim who stood in front of him. “Welcome home my little girl who is one of two females I now have that love to be abused. It’s an attractive quality.”
