Episode 2: The Beast

Xavion and Sky begin to appear their bodies taking shape.

Sky runs towards the open desert

"Sky WAIT!"

*Click* the sound of a gun echos from behind Sky

Sky freezes.

"WAIT! She doesn't mean you any harm. " Shouts, Xavion

"Please..." Sky begs.

"Turn around, girl." Demands a deep voice.

Sky turns around, slowly holding up her arms.

The mysterious figure points the gun between Sky's eyes.

"Why are you here, Are you spies?" Says the mysterious man

"Listen to me," Xavion walks slowly towards the mysterious man

*Click*

"Move any closer, and she will die," replies a voice

A tear rolls down Sky's face

"We are here to help," pleads Xavion,

A loud shriek echos throughout the plains

"What was that?'

"You both will come with me, You are my prisoners now," replies the mysterious man

"Follow me, Any attempt to flee will be met with a swift death,"

Xavion rushes over to Sky, comforting her.

Xavion reassures Sky

"Everything is going to be alright,"

Tears roll down sky's face.

"What's going on?" Whimpers Sky

"I don't know, but something isn't right here," replies Xavion

"You are right about that," replies the mysterious man

Xavion rushes over to the man.

The mysterious man pulls his gun on Xavion.

"Hold it right there,"

"I warned you, and I won't warn you again, one step closer and il end your life."

"I just want to know what is going on, That is all. We do not mean you any harm," Xavier pleads.

The mysterious man laughs hysterically and puts his gun in a slot on his back

"You two really do not belong here. I can see you are no danger to me. "

"Who are you!" Replies Sky

"I am general. Untilious, I command this part of the African desert"

"If you are a general, then where are your soldiers?"

General Untilious sighs and sits down on the hot desert sand

"Do you want the long story or the short story?"

Xavion and Sky sit down next to Untilious

"Tell me everything," replies Xavion

"A few nights ago, a star fell down from the sky, a rock of some kind. The most dazzling and beautiful rock we have ever seen, but what we didn't realize was this rock was alive, My soldiers guarded this rock day and night until it became an obsession, The voice spoke to us. Told us stories fron beyond the stars, My men began to change. Becoming soldiers to him rather than me. He set them to work building a giantic mirror, I tried to convince them to stop, but they would not listen. I was casted out into the desert,"

"A mirror?" Xavions eyes begin to bulge with terror.

"What's wrong, Xavion? Replies Sky

"I've heard stories of an ancient being , Capable of Mind control and tremendous power, His form, and his consciousness are separated, The Legend says he falls to distant planets and manipulates life forms into doing his bidding and creating a gateway to contact his body to devastate world's"

"What? You talk as if you are not from this world, and what do you mean his consciousness and form are separated?" Replies untilious

"He isn't," says Sky, deeply engaged in the conversation

Xavion Smirks

"That's a story for another time, The falling rock, The mirror it all adds up to the story. It must be him.."

"Who?" Replies untilious

"Mordecai, a God like being forged in myth and time, A creature from another plain of existence, Mordecai belongs to The Order Of Time, a group of beings capable of immense destruction, they call themselves the gate keepers of time and all universes"

"Enough of this, I will end this myself. No creature can be God but the almighty himself.

Untilious quickly jumps up and heads into the distance picking up haste.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

Xavion and Sky quickly run behind him catching up

"You need to think about this, these creatures are not to be messed with it would be suicide" says Xavion

"I've thought enough it has my men, I cannot watch any longer, God or not I will fight for their freedom" replies Untilious

"We will head to my camp, it's just over the hill, gather supplies and come up with a plan to end this"

Sky begins to become disoriented, her vision begins to fade before she crashes to the ground.

"Sky!"

Xavion rushes over to her.

Sky passes out

She awakens she floats in a blue translucent liquid, almost air like, stretching endlessly.

"Hello?" She calls put

"Sky," a mysterious calming voice echos.

"Is somebody there?" Replies Sky

"Yes, I am here" replies a mysterious calm voice of a woman

"Who are you and what is this place?"

"My identity is known as many, You are in a world between all plains of existence, We need your help, Mordecai has escaped into your universe he does not belong, If he isn't stopped his presence threatens of all creation" replies the mysterious calm voice.

"How do I help, Please tell me" replies Sky

"I will give you a piece of my power, The Heart of Sahrion, In time it will come clear on how this must be used, I must go now, I have one final message but not for you, Repeat this to the time Walker, His identity will soon be known by many, More will follow" says the mysterious calm voice.

"What does any of this mean? Please stay and tell me!"

A sparkle begins to eminate from Sky's hand as a beautiful red gem appears, Sky quickly clutches it in her hand.

"You must go now, Be safe we will meet again" replies the mysterious calm voice.

Sky is pushed with force through the liquid before her eyes begin to slowly reopen.

"Sky?" Says Xavion

Sky's eyes begin to open

Untilious and Xavion are looking down at her.

"Are you okay" says untilious

"I think I'm okay, I don't know" replies Sky

Sky begins to stand up.

"We must move on, this needs to end now!" Untilious walks faster with rage in his movements.

"What happened to you sky" says Xavion

Sky holds her head

"My mind is foggy" replies Sky

Sky looks down at her hand and sees the same red glowing gem

Xavion notices

"What is that you have" says Xavion

Sky hands the mysterious jewel to Xavion

"This is a void gem, it traps entities in a prison universe, two are never the same and the entity is always trapped alone forever, how did you get this Sky? Replies Xavion

"When I blacked out a mysterious voice spoke to me about Mordecai and how we needed to stop him, she also gave me a message for you" says Sky

"What was the message" replies Xavion

"Your identity will soon be known and more will follow, what does that mean Xavion?"

"I have mo idea, but we probably soon find out, Anyways for now keep this gem safe Sky, it could be our only way to save the universe, these creates are capable of tremendous power" replies Sky

"Will you two hurry up we are here!" Untilious shouts with rage in his voice.

Untilious leads Sky and Xavion to a small shack hidden by bushes and trees.

"Please sit down, we have much to plan"

"Sky and xavion pull our a chair and begin to sit down"

I've been watching their movements, my men appear to be under some kind of hypnosis, Even their eyes are violet in colour. They seem to be building something for the creature you call Mordecai" says Untilious

"Building what exactly, The information on these creatures is pretty much limited, Even to me this is limited" replies

"I haven't uncovered that yet, also speaking on which, you talk as if you are not human, what exactly are you? It's time to come clean" says Untilious

"He does not have to tell you anything" replies Sky

"Oh I think he does"

Untilious reaches his arm behind his back touching his gun.

"There's no need for that, Il explain everything" replies Xavion

"I was found a very long time ago by a couple and they raised me as their own, As I grew up I discovered I had a unique ability to travel anywhere as well as time travel, I began to use my gift and made a promise to protect this world from any harm, I am simply here to help you stop whatever is going on"

"I've heard tails of a mysterious saviour, From ages of dawn, Tales of destruction stopped by one man, I guess you are fine for now, We must..." Untilious freezes.

"Quickly you two we must hide" says Untilious

They all quickly jump up

Untilious opens a secret trap door

"Quickly you two get in there"

"There isn't enough room for all of us" replies Sky

"There isn't, If the tales are true, if anyone can save my men it's you, You must live through this and find a way to stop mordecai" says Untilious,

Untilious pushes Sky and Xavion with force down the trap door and closes it behind them.

He begins to cover it with straw.

An army of foot steps can be heard from outside drawing closer and closer

"What's going on?" Whispers Sky.

"I do not know but we are about to find out" replies xavion in a low tone

The cabin door begins to creek open and soldiers walk inside.

Sky and Xavion watch through a crack in the floor.

The soldiers eyes glow in violet with a magical sparkle.

"Well, well, The rodent has been found" replies a sinister voice.

Mordecai speaks through the soldiers

"It is such a shame you decided not to help our cause"

Untilious quickly draws his gun, His hand is instantly caught by the soldiers with insane speed.

Untilious bone cracks from the force of the soldiers hand.

"Aghh" Untilious Whimpers in pain.

"We could have been friends general" replies Mordecai.

Untilious begins to shake and cries out in pain, a bright essence drains from his eyes and is sucked into the soldiers mouth, his body begins to wither before turning to bones.

Sky whispers in fear

Xavion covers Sky's mouth whilst watching in fear.

The bones of Untilious crash to the floor.

The soldiers turn around and leave the cabin in unison.

Tears roll down sky's face as she collapses to the floor.

"What is going on here" cries Sky.

"We will find out and untilious has not died for nothing, we will stop this and destroy Mordecai for this"

"We must leave, before they come back" says Xavion

Sky and Xavion push open the trap door and climb out.

Xavion rushes over to the window and watches the soldiers continue to walk in unison into the distance

Quickly through here" Says Xavion grabbing Sky's hand.

They push open the door to the cavern and run as fast as they can away from it.

Loud voices can be heard in the distance.

Sky and Xavion rush over to the edge of cliff and look down below.

"There's so many" says Sky.

"We must stop them before it's to late" replies Xavion

Footsteps eminate from behind Sky and Xavion

Xavion and Sky quickly turn around

Two soldiers are shadowing over them.

The soldiers grab them

"A spy!" Shouts the soldier

"Bring them to me" replies a sinister voice.

The soldiers eyes light up red

Xavion and Sky are dragged towards a gigantic mirror emanating a red mist

Sky and Xavion are thrown to the ground

"Ouch, who do you think you are?" Says Sky

"Who are you?" Replies a sinister voice from the mirror.

"I'm Sky?" She replies

Xavion Claps loudly

"I think we all know who needs to be explaining who they are, Why don't you show yourself and we can have a chat"

The mirror begins to glow bright red,

a form begins to appear infront of it.

A handsome man wearing a red suit steps forward

"I thought this form my suit one of you, No clue which, that's not the issue at hand, Who are you to command me?" Replies the handsome man.

"Who are you?" Says xavion whilst looking displeased.

"I am Mordecai the feared, your tiny mind could never process my true name, Why are you here?"

"This guys weird" Sky whispers in xavions ear

Mordecai moves his hand pointing towards Sky

A small electric like red cage begins to form around Sky.

"Whats going on!" Shouts sky

"You will release her now!" Xavion walks towards Mordecai shouting in rage

"Or what?" Replies Mordecai.

Mordecai Laughs in a sinister tone

Sky touches the cage, An electric shock goes through her hand

"Ouch"

Mordecai a loud echo eminates from the mirror.

Mordecai turns and faces the mirror.

"What's the issue?"

"The Time Walker is here, the one you seek is right in front of you" the loud voice echos through the sky

Mordecai begins to laugh.

"I'm assuming it's you xavion, that was very easy you came to me, Ending your own life without even realizing"

Mordecai lifts up his hand a small red ball of electricity fires at xavion.

A small explosion emits around xavion and he is thrown into the ground.

"No!" Sky grabs the cage shocking herself

Xavion whimpers in pain

"So this is all the great time walker has to offer?"

Xavion stands up dusting the dirt off himself.

"That wasn't very friendly" replies xavion

Mordecai looks confused.

"Why have you taken over the minds of these humans?"

"You think I'd give away my intentions so easily?" Mordecai Laughs

"I will find out what you are doing, and if it means this planet any harm I will stop you" replies Xavion

"Such a tiny mind, My consciousness exists in this plain but my form is still traveling to this reality"

Mordecai lifts up his hand, His soldiers eyes beginning to light up red.

"Hail to him!" they shout in sync

"Lord of evil"

Xavion and Sky look around in shock

"With the shrine of purity I can sacrifice you Time Walker and with your ability of time I can bring forth my true form from its 50,000 year journey across the stars" says mordecai

"Bring him to me!" Shouts Mordecai

Soldiers grab Xavion

"No, stop, leave him alone"

"What do I do!" Shouts Sky

"You die!"

"You and this universe!" Shouts Mordecai

"The necklace the mysterious voice gave you, look at it" Says Xavion

Sky takes the necklace from around her neck and looks at it.

Sky begins to go faint seeing pictures in her mind

"Use the Gem, banish his consciousness forever"

"Throw it!" A voice shouts in Sky's mind.

Sky rips the stone from the necklace and throws it Mordecai

A large explosion knocks xavion, the soldiers and Sky tumbling across the ground

"You foolish little girl, Look what you've done to me"

Holes begin to form on mordecai emanating yellow light

Mordecai falls to his knees.

"Ha! Beaten by a girl, How does it feel?" Laughs Xavion

"You cannot stop it, You may have banished me but my form lives on and continues it's journey, One day it will arrive and your planet will bow before my might"

"I will wait for that day and I will send your form to join you in your endless prison"

"father will hear of this and he will come to free me" Mordecai begins to laugh larger holes begining to form on his body.

"I defeated you, You have killed so many you can rot forever!" Shouts Sky

"Who is your father?" Replies xavion

"The creator" Mordecai Laughs and he slowly begins to transform into a bright light

A sinister laugh can be heard as the light slowly fades so does the laugh.

"What does he mean?" Asks Sky

"I'm absolutely clueless, But I fear something dark is coming" replies Xavion

The soldiers begin to gain consciousness again, Mordecais power fades

"Where am I?"

"Whats going on?"

Xavion begins to run into the distance.

"Xavion!?"

"Wait!" Shouts Sky

Sky runs after xavion

Xavion stops and falls to his knees with a thud

Sky rushed over to him

"Whats going on?" Says Sky in a worried tone

"I've heard whispers among other higher lifeforms I've encountered, if what Mordecai spoke is true then this universe will fall" replies Xavion

"What do you mean?" Sky becomes worried

"The creator he spoke of I've heard that name before, a destroyer of Universes, if he finds us I fear I cannot stop him Sky"

"Well every creature has a weakness we will find a way to stop whatever it is, We have time" Sky grabs Xavions hand

"Time to take you home Sky" Replies Xavion

Sky smiles as they stand up.

They both begin to glow before vanishing.

The gigantic mirror begins to break and crumble into pieces creating a very large implosion of purple energy.
