Chapter 45 - (Arial) The legend of the Crystal/Night City

"Yeah, I do want the info."

"Good now listen. Long ago, before all of you have ever existed. The world was 5 times bigger. So many people had powers that you couldn't even fathom. There were so many different powers that you couldn't imagine that they had. The world was full of nature, Qi, Karma, Energy, Strength, Beast, mutants, Aliens, The Dead, spirits, portals to other worlds, time and space, and many more. In these times the people that had powers were enough to destroy half of the continent. But then there was something terrible that they couldn't sense for the time being."

"What happened?"

"Shush, I was just going to get there."

"The living, the dead, the spirits, and everything in this world was in great danger from this. It came from inside the world digging up to the surface slowly eating away at the world. We started to sense what was coming. We and all that live in this world weren't ready. We didn't know why it's happening at this time. All we knew is that it was killing and eating our world. We didn't have time to discuss what to do because it was too late. The crystals that were digging up into this world had already killed half of the world, it was like a virus that couldn't be stopped.

The virus that I'm talking about... is the crystals. The crystals have been living in the middle of the world. It was the one that made this world and now it's about to destroy this world... again as the legends say from all the dead, living, and spirits, and many others. The ones that were left made difficult choices.

Some stayed to protect what was left of this world, Some went to different worlds and the last people decided to abandon the power they had so that they can travel through space and time. Some decided to go to live in the far past and some decided to go and live in the far future. The people that decided to go to other worlds went to small pockets in space. They tried to go to other worlds, but the worlds were already engulfed in those crystals, no world that they knew about were left."

"So what does that have to do with what's happening right now?" Arial asks.

"I've discovered something about the crystals. All of the crystals aren't all the same. There are actually different species of crystals."

"When you say species you mean that they are living?"

"Yes, the crystals are all living creatures like us. Well anyway, that's the story of the crystal and some of that other info I just dumped on you. The Crystal you have with you is fine... Even though it gives off killing intent at me and not you."

"Hmm, that's nice," Arial says.

"You don't look surprised?"

"You don't look surprised?"

"Don't worry just let my mind process all of what you talked about."

"Well first of all you can do me the favor I asked for."

"...Oh right so uh what was the favor?"

"I just want you to join us. I'm just recruiting people in our organization."

"...What?"

"Oh, sorry your still processing all of that stuff."

*A few seconds later*

"Wow, that is amazing!" Arial says in excitement.

"So what was that recruitment you were saying about Aquarius?"

"The recruitment I was talking about is when I recruit people who are a bit special in some way."

"What do you mean by a bit special?"

"Well your not the only one that has been transformed or something. Others have special abilities for example some people can use magic and like you the are others that are part-machine being able to do things normal humans can't do. So are you gonna join or not? Your life might be hellish after this."

"Why?"

"...You really don't know. You made a ruckus at your house, you sneaked into the department, your face was seen and now I found you. There probably already searching for you at the house."

"Oh...sure I'll join."

"I told you that...Oh, you're going to join I didn't expect that at all."

"Well, obviously I don't have anywhere else to go anymore since you said that there searching for me at my house."

"...Well, let's go first thing first let's get you some new clothes.

"Your right. Wait are we not going to the organization of whatever it is?"

" The organization is called I.C.E.D and your clothes are already dirty from all that running so let's get you some clothes first of all. Don't want you to walk in all dirty."

Arial looks at herself seeing that she was completely dirty somehow when she was running away from the guards.

"Well, I guess your right."

"Follow me we're going to take a shortcut out of the forest. I know a great place to get you some nice clothes."

Arial a hold of Aquarius's hand then stands up and follows Aquarius out of the forest. Arial following Aquarius only for a short time walks out of the forest to a cliff and she sees a metropolis in front of her.

Arial looking over to the city couldn't see far even could've seen how big the city was even with her mechanic eyes that could see far away. Arial could hear honking, people talking in different languages, some languages that didn't sound like it wasn't even from this planet, and some mysterious sounds some time to time.

She could see cars flying or hovering just above the city, People running barely being able to get a glimpse of them, People who are part machine, technology that shouldn't even exist at this point of time, People who don't even look human, and people wearing outfits that look like their all from various periods in time.

In the dark cloudy sky, she could see spaceships coming down from the clouds. Little vessels coming out it of the spaceship

"What...the...F**k...Wasn't it nighttime!? And this all looks so extremely awesome!" Arial in surprise.

"Really that's what you surprised about first? Well, anyway welcome to I.C.E City. Although it's not much."

"What the hell are you talking about this is f**king amazing!! Look at all of these technologies how do they do this! What are you using to make those ships hover in the air!? What kind of fuel too are you using to command that whole spaceship!

Are the engines of the cars and spaceships potent enough!? Who are these people there speaking in so many interesting linguistics and why does that f**king drink look like a damn dil-!?"

Aquarius shuts Arial's mouth.

"Okay! You can sh*t up now!"

Aquarius takes her hand off of Arial's mouth.

"Sorry, there are so many marvelous things here. This just gets me excited when I get the opportunity to analyze whatever they all are. I'm getting excited just by imagining it."

*Drool*

Aquarius feels a bit disgusted by the scene.

"I never knew you were such a character."

Arial still drooling thinking about barely hears Aquarius.

"Huh, what?"

"From the data, I've been informed about your life. You were an intelligent person who got the highest score on the ACT, SAT and other tests. And your character well..."

"Well, What?" Arial wondering.

"...Nevermind we need to get you some clothes first."

Aquarius steps of the cliff falling down quickly.

"Hey wait!"

Arial reaches her hand at the edge of the cliff grabbing it. She looks down to see that Aquarius was still falling. When Aquarius was about to hit the ground a massive amount of wind catches her fall going around the bottom of her legs like it's pushing her up. This makes her landing soft as a feather.

"...Might as well jump down also. Oh hey, a pool is right there perfect to fall in."

The edge of the cliff where Arial is starts to break.

"Oh f**k."

Arial starts falling.

"Land it land it land it land it!." Arial repeats herself.

Arial lands in the pool going down. She opens her eyes.

"Hmm, what's that."

Arial opens her eyes to see a blue color glowing vividly. It seemed like it's coming towards her. Arial starts to speak into her mind.

"Oh nice, another one."

She starts to see that the blue tint is actually a crystal. Arial feels that the crystal is attracting her telling her to go towards the crystal. Arial starts to swim towards it but then she gets pulled out of the water by the collar of her clothes.

Arial realizes that she is starting to suffocate looks up to see that she is about to come out of the water. Arial comes out of the water thrown ten feet into the air.

"Why does this feel like deja vu?" Arial wondering.

Arial about to hit the ground back is caught by the wind making her hover just over the night green grass. Arial suddenly falls getting all dirty and sticky from the water making dirt stick on to her. Arial starts cough out water right after hitting the ground

"You are so damn lucky that you survived that whole ordeal."

"Wha- *Cough* What do you *cough* mean?"

"From what I could from the crystal under the water you would've started to suck out aura."

"Aura?"

"What I mean is it would've sucked you dry and use you as a vassal to suck aura that is on land. It can't do anything inside the water except hypnotize you into going towards it.

We don't much about it yet so you just lucky I caught you before you went any deeper. Well anyway, I have to get you some clothes before you get a cold although you can't get a cold."

Arial still coughing is a bit terrified from the story she heard. She follows Aquarius more closely now towards the city.
