Felix jumped through the glass, breaking it, landing next to Kal and Karma, Luna right behind him "I probably wasn't supposed to do that" Felix said, with a mischievous grin. "FELIX!" Someone yelled from behind him "Damn it, I don't have time for this!" Felix yelled, turning around, A black scythe appearing in his hand, his clothes and hair, changing to a black reaper coat and black hair. "I'm too pissed off to even bother trying to spare you!" he slashed the scythe, sending a powerful blast of energy in the guardian's direction. Almost as soon as he showed up, the guardian fell to the ground, weakend. "Let's go" Felix said, the scythe disappearing, the clothes staying. "Wait, where's Alexa? And Locus?" Karma asked, Felix shrugged and continued walking, everyone else slowly and reluctantly following him. "What's wrong with him?" Kal asked, Luna shook her head "Locus vanished from the maze" she said, Kal inhaled sharply "What do you mean?" Kal asked, Karma walked over to them "Locus is gone?" she asked "gone where?" Felix stopped and turned around "If I were to make a guess, I'd say Phantom took him" he said, Luna looked surprised "What would Phantom want with him?" she asked. Kal walked forward "Uh, could you guys explain who Phantom is, not really a criminal so…" he said, with a confused look "Phantom is a criminal organization in the tower, known for kidnapping powerful people and brainwashing them so that they'll join their ranks" Karma explained, Kal slowly began to understand "So why call themselves Phantom?" he asked "Why not something like Hive?" Felix laughed "Because, you'll never see them show up, and you'll never see them leave, all you'll see is a missing person" he said "If Phantom has him, we need to get to their headquarters" Luna said, checking all of her gear "Yeah, and we need to prepare for a fight" Karma chimed, checking her weapons, several knives and a makeshift pistol on her arm "So, where is their headquarters?" Kal asked, summoning a long metal bow, Felix caught its name etched into its side StarFallen "Simple" Felix said, summoning a sword out of thin air "How does he do that?" Kal muttered "We need to go to the crime floor" Felix said "Floor 25?" Kal asked, Felix nodded "After I murdered almost the entire floor, the criminals in the tower took refuge there," he explained. "What are we waiting for?" Luna said "Let's go to floor 25" Felix nodded at her and they began to move once again.
"You know this training will be very tough on your physical body as well as mentally, so we brought someone who you both might wanna be here but also to help with the pain side of it all" Bree said as she pointed behind him, as Locus turned around Alexa ran up and hugged him "I'm glad they brought me along for this" Alexa said, she was almost crying, "I'm fine just don't worry" Locus said smiling. Alexa looked up at him and suddenly kissed him "I was scared that their plan wouldn't work" Alexa said still crying "Hey stop crying he has training to do" Skaw said as he eye balled her with his deep red eyes, Alexa felt as if his eyes were piercing her soul "Ok.. Ok fine" Alexa said, alexa concentrated on Locus and he became unable to feel any pain "Well, now that she is blocking all pain we can get started" Bree said then nodded toward Skaw and used his ability, a giant box around 200 feet wide and 200 feet tall surrounded them " i call this the training block" Skaw chuckled "Enough with the jokes, let's get to training" Bree said as she scowled Skaw for his terrible joke "Now then let's have this training begin, Skaw, Locus duel please" Bree asked "You won't win against me" Skaw said as he chuckled, suddenly thousands of huge pieces of metal flew at Locus, Locus held out his hand, the gravity increased around the pieces of metal and each one melted to the ground. "Well then, guess that was to easy for you guess i will have to step it up a few notches" Skaw said as he flicked his wrist and thousands of pieces of metal went flying at Locus and surrounded him, slowly crushing him. Locus felt a tingle in his eye, it quickly turned into a burning sensation in his right eye, then as suddenly as it came it was gone but he noticed that he saw everything differently, he could see the gravitational aura of Skaw and Bree. He focused on Skaw and he suddenly appeared behind Skaw and threw him into the metal ball that Locus was trapped in "hmm that's odd my eye site is different and i only have to think about what I do now, how strange" Locus said as Bree noticed that his left eye turned solid white.
From now on till they meet up the perspective will switch from Locus to Felix, enjoy!
Felix
Felix looked at the sign, trying to find the nearest inn. "If I go to the left that's high town, not where I want to go, those high class people here, are snobby as hell" he muttered to himself "Low town is full of criminals, I might find a clue as to where Locus is in there, I really need a drink, that'll have to wait." he continued to mutter "Uh, excuse me?" a voice spoke from behind him, when Felix turned around he saw a young blondee man "Are you looking for the inn?" he asked "I heard you muttering something about the inn, snobs and criminals" Felix nodded unsure of what to say "Are you aware that it's behind you?" the young man asked, Felix turned around to see a sign "God damn it!" Felix yelled, the young man laughed "Here, can I buy you a drink?" he asked and Felix nodded, turned around, and walked inside angrily. The young man walked up to Felix and sat down next to him "I'm Cas" he said, smiling "So, what're you doing anyhow?" he asked "I'm going to floor 25 to find my friend" Felix replied bitterly. "How perfect,I'm going to the same place, can I join you?" Cas asked, with a smile on his face "Let's see, person I just met wants to join me… sure why not?" Felix said sarcastically "great" Cas said with a smile "I was being…. You know what nevermind" Felix continued "meet me by the sign tomorrow morning see ya" Felix got up and left, going to his room in a hotel not too far away. The next morning, Felix, Karma, Luna and Kal all waited at the sign. "So who is this Cas?" Luna asked and Felix smiled "He's a person who bought me drinks yesterday" he explained "Is that the only reason you wanted me to join?" Cas asked as he approached "Of course not, you might be useful" Felix explained in a rush.
Locus
Locus looked at Bree, she appeared to be staring at him contently "What's the matter?" Locus asked "Oh it's nothing, do you feel different in anyway?" Bree asked "uh yea actually, my vision is different and i feel a little different" Locus said as he looked down at his hands "What do you mean your vision changed?" Bree asked, "well the best way to describe is, is that I can sense/ see your gravitational aura" Locus explained "who is it?" Locus asked as he pointed behind bree. Bree turned around only to immediately be hugged and surrounded by huge black and gold wings "Hi babe" the young man said "Oh now isn't that a surprise, I did not expect you to be coming here Damian" Bree said and kissed him "Who is that?" Locus asked, his vision stilled blocked by the wings "It's Damian, my boyfriend" Bree said and smiled as damian's wings folded back.
Felix
Felix approached the gate leading to floor 18. "Here we are, floor 18" he muttered as he walked forward into the gate "Last time I was here, the test was to fight another team of equal strengths, sometimes if they could not find someone with equal strengths so they would just end up making a copy of you, it was kinda weird." Kal said as they walked towards it "Jeez, that's gonna be one helluva fight" Cas said with a grin. As they approached the test, they heard an announcer "Next up is an unlikely team fighting themselves due to lack of a team that matches their strength, Give it up for the most powerful team we've ever seen! I'm being sarcastic of course " Felix and his team walked through a door to a cheering crowd "ah crap" Felix muttered "Damn i was hoping it would be the giant immortal monkey" Kal said as he chuckled at the thought. "You have issues Kal" Felix muttered, across the arena they saw themselves approaching "Ready" Felix asked as a sword appeared in his hand "This may be the toughest fight of our lives" he said, behind him he heard Kal laugh "You wish" he said, holding a drawn bow "this is absolutely nothing compared to floor 25" he muttered as they charged at each other, Cas stepped forward and out of his sword came a shadowy creature "It's go time" he muttered to himself as a copy of him came charging.
Locus
"Well now that you have clearly beaten your brother, you will fight Damian i guess..." Bree said, she looked disappointed "Be aware that Damian also has a unique ability" Bree said "I hope your ready" Damian said with a smile. Damian looked behind Locus and a clone of damian appeared behind Locus, Locus teleported away from the clone "You never told me he could teleport" Damian said as he looked at bree, Bree smiled "Our entire family can" Bree said as she teleported to the sidelines. Damian made five clones and rushed Locus, Locus laughed and swiped his hand to the right, damian and his clones flew into the metal ball Skaw was still 'glued' to "he is a major pain for being a little brother" Skaw said when he noticed damian smack into the metal ball "So why are we training him? He seems to be fine as is" damian said with a grin "Well we were trying to get him to learn how to use the family weapon, the Eye of Gravity" Skaw continued "But it seems he learned quicker than we thought, he basically has complete control over his abilities now or at least that's how it seems" Skaw said and made the metal ball disappear "i think he has trained plenty enough to learn control" Skaw yelled at Bree "Fine, Locus i will give you one day before i send you to 30" Bree said and 3 houses appeared "That blue one is your's and Alexa's so go have some fun" Bree said and smiled at damian, Damian and Bree walked into the red house and the house disappeared.
Felix
Felix was clashing with a clone of himself, they were staring each other down and suddenly Felix's sword bent downward "Did you just control the material in my sword?" he asked as he grabbed the wrist of the clone. "Let's dance" Felix said as he ran up stairs made of air, when he stopped Felix threw the clone over his shoulder straight down to the ground. Cas' shadow slowly lifted his clone into the sky and threw him back onto the ground several times, wearing him down before he stabbed him in the throat "Something is very appealing about stabbing my own throat" he said as he turned to see shockwaves flying around as Karma and her clone fought at very high speeds "What the hell?" he asked surprised, Felix dropped down next to him and grinned "Karma is the fastest fighter I've ever seen or heard of" he said with a laugh "I've never been prouder of her, she has impressed me before, but this is different" he said proudly "Yeah, these fights are intense, don't you agree?" Cas asked "Nah, nothing I'm not used to" Felix said as he turned to meet his clone face to face "I knew it, let's dance, me" he said as he brought out another sword to fight his clone. When they began to fight it seemed like they were flying, leaving even greater shockwaves with each strike, even the Karmas stopped fighting to watch. Felix dashed forward to strike, his blade met his clone's, in the split second he had to strike before he was launched back Felix pulled the knife off his belt and threw it into his clone's stomach. Felix got launched backwards and went to the ground, bouncing on impact his clone fell to the ground ripping the knife out of his stomach. Upon impact the clone covered his stomach trying not to bleed. Luna ran to Felix, leaving her clone in the dirt "Felix!" she yelled, the worry obvious in her voice. Felix stood up, coughing "I need to get him to mess with gravity" he said, balancing himself "The longer he does it, the more dangerous it is for his body" Felix dashed forward a second time when reached the clone he saw it lying there, seemingly lifeless "It's over! I win!" he yelled proudly, suddenly he went flying into the air and the clone stood up with a weak grin. Rather than fall back to the ground Felix floated there in midair. Slowly the oxygen was removed around Felix and he could feel his own strength draining from him. There, Felix thought as he saw blood dripping from out of the clone's mouth. The clone fell to the ground, releasing his hold on Felix as Felix fell he brought the sword out and held it straight in front of him. "Here goes nothing!" he yelled as he dropped to the ground, the sword cutting the clone straight in half. Felix stood, catching his breath, Karma stabbed her clone in the back and ran over to Felix "Impressive, but you shouldn't bring yourself to near death for a fight" she said and Felix laughed "Yeah, but I learned something, I can steal strength" he said and Kal, who had walked over during the landing looked shocked "You can?" he asked and Felix nodded "That's what the clone was doing to me, he was trying to steal my strength or at least i think that was what was going on"
Locus
Locus woke up the next day in a bed with Alexa fast asleep next to him, he slowly rose out of bed, Locus heard a knocking sound at the door, he went to go open it to find bree and damian standing there "Well now, looks like you had some fun" bree said with a smile as she messed up his hair even more "it's time to go, go wake up alexa and lets get going" Damian said with a grin "ok i'll be right back" Locus said and walked back to the bedroom "Hey…. hey wake up it's time to go" Locus said as he crawled next to alexa and tugged at her arm "a few more minutes…" alexa moaned "come on we have to go" Locus said as he pulled the covers off the bed, he immediately blushed, alexa looked at him and saw that he had blushed "Wh..what?" she asked, she looked down and noticed she was naked and pushed Locus out the room and quickly got dressed "Well that was unexpected" Locus said as he kissed alexa "i dont get why you pushed me out though" Locus said with a smile "Well it's because i was embarrassed" alexa said and kissed him back "let's go you two!" Bree yelled from outside. The two of them walked outside "Sorry i had to get dressed" Alexa explained "Oh it's fine i expected as much anyways" Bree said while winking at alexa and both alexa and Locus blushed like a tomato "So where are we going?" Locus asked nervously "Well we are going down to the 30th floor" bree said "Wait, what do you mean down?" Locus asked "Oh yea that's right, I forgot to tell you both but we are on the very top of the tower" Bree explained "it should only take us about an hour to get to the 30th floor, since we are on the top and we are going down we won't have to do any tests until we go back up" Damian butted in, they started to go down the floors quickly.
Felix
"Get back here you runt!" Someone screamed as they, as Felix assumed, chased somebody down. "Floor 20, never gets old" Felix laughed as he and Luna walked, Felix stopped when he heard 4 pairs of footsteps running at him, Felix stepped back just in time to see a small yellow haired boy run by with 3 people chasing him "Sol?" Felix asked as he ran by "Hey honey?" Felix started, turning to Luna "I know we don't get much time alone but it seems your younger brother got into a spot of trouble, can I-" Felix began, being interrupted Luna "Of course it's fine, go play hero" she said, Felix laughed and kissed her "You're the best" he said as he turned and chased after the people chasing Sol, who were know stumbling over sudden bumps in the ground. "Felix, close your eyes!" he heard Sol yell. Felix did as he was told and shut his eyes tight, when he opened them he saw he saw the three people on the ground covering their eyes. "You know, you don't have to blind everybody who tries to kill you" Felix said as he approached Sol "You're right" Sol responded "I can take a page out of your book and kill them instead" Felix and Sol stared at each other and began laughing. "So you and my sister, how's that going?" Sol asked, Felix glared at him "It's going fine, speaking of sisters, how's little Storm doing?" Felix asked in response "Oh, she's fine, she's finally managed to control her ability" Sol answered "The real problem is, since Star lives on floor 14, dad has been training me to deal with the problems on floor 24" he explained, Felix looked at him and chuckled "Yeah, I've been trained by Sky, it's hard, but it's worth it in the end" he said with a small smile "So where exactly is night?" Felix asked suddenly "Night? he's usually helping the other families, odd jobs and all that, last I checked he was doing something for the Drevils" Sol explained "now, if you'll excuse me" he said as he got up "I have to go home, stop by when you reach floor 24, Dad and Storm are dying to see you" he continued as he walked off into the distance. Luna walked over to Felix and the three crying people who chased Sol "Hello beautiful" Felix said as he stood "Shall we continue our walk?"
Locus
"We are gonna stop by floor 60 to see grampa" Bree said to Locus "Wait i thought grampa died last year?" Locus said with surprise "No no that was grandma, besides he won't be around for long" Bree said "Wait you two have a grampa? What's his name?" Damian asked "well his name.... Is Drevillain" Locus said "Well i did not expect that" Damian said with a smile, Bree slapped him "How rude" Bree scorned. A few hours later they arrived on floor 60, "Well let's go see gramps shall we?" Bree said as she smiled at Locus and ran off to a big red house at the edge of the town square, they walked in to find grampa teleporting to the door "Bree! Darling it's good to see you, did you find my favorite grandkid?" Drevillain asked with a smile while trying to look over her shoulder "Rude but yes i did, turned out he was going up the tower floors" Bree said and stepped to the side "Hi grampa!" Locus said and hugged him "It's good to see you, but why were you going up the tower floors?" Drevillian asked "Well i actually started to go up from this floor but when i reached floor 62 i was thrown from the tower and landed at the gate of the tower" Locus said "Well I'm glad that you're alive and well, but i must ask who kicked you from the tower?" drevillain asked as Bree, Locus and him teleported to the couch leaving Damian and Alexa at the door "It was the floor guardian, he said that i don't have enough grip on my hidden power and that he had no idea how i got this high so he kicked me out" Locus said as he looked around the corner to see Skaw just appear there "So you got kicked from what? A few thousand feet" Skaw said mockingly, Drevillain appeared behind Skaw and slapped him across the room "That's for being inconsiderate, you little fool" he said as he reappeared in his chair "Well i suspect you only stopped by to say hi and see how i was doing" he said with a brief smile "kinda, it's always good to see you grampa" Locus said as he hugged him, they left
shortly after saying goodbye and headed to floor 30.
