Chapter 17 - 17

Walking into Michaels room as he trained his grandmother looked at him funny as he stood in front of the t.v drenched in sweat. "What are you doing?" she asked.

"Working out." He replied

"Looks like you're just standing there to me."

"It's a Chinese thing grandma."

"Okay." She said rolling her eyes and leaving out of the room.

"Ey Gram Gram," Michael shouted before she got out of hearing distance.

Peeping into his room she asked, "What is it."

"I was trying to see what time it is."

"Going on eight"

"Aite thank ya. Love ya" he said turning all his attention towards Baby whackos. If he could manage to keep his aura pumping pass the next two episodes, he would've endured aura training for five hours.

Tim's House

"Did you find him?" Tim asked eagerly as Paul stepped into the house.

"Not exactly but I have been following this one kid he just always seems to disappear." Paul replied taking a seat on Tim's new couch.

"What about the necklace and the ring."

"I've visited all of the Pawn shops and people that have bought any stolen goods?"

"And?"

"Nothing."

"Damn it, are you serious." Tim yelled slamming his fist through the dining room table.

"You should've let me finish. My pack has been on the task and they found someone whom is highly suspect. Think it might be him."

"Great lets, go so I can shred the son of a bitch apart." Tim said putting his plate of food down.

"I didn't even tell you the crazy part. He visits this heavily forested area which is only a few blocks away from here, by the bayou."

A forested area near the bayou in Centineal Plaza

"You have to feel it." Elektra said creating a mirror using her magic. "See the molecules around you then connect them."

"Look mayne that shit aint gone work." Mike said frustrated. "I been out here fo at least two days trying to figure out how to use magic."

"It only been about an hour." Streak commented.

"Did I ask you fo' yo commentary." Michael snapped glaring at streak. "I don' know how to arrange no molecules, I can't use fire to create magic. Know what imma find my own way."

Twirling the mirror as it hovered above her palm Elektra said. "Calm down It's not that serious."

"What ya mean. Aint no way, I'm gone let yall make me look bad. I'm Big Papa knowamsaying."

"There is no reason to be in competition with us."

"Says who I compete with everybody rather or not they know it."

"Wow, you really are competitive."

"F'n right." Michael said walking off going to sit on a rock. Envisioning the mirror in his head he imagined particles in the air falling into the palm of his hand. As the particles fell a five-star pentagram rose up and down actualizing it into being. Focusing on this picture in his mind he continued to replay the vision over and over until the mirror begun to formulate starting off with the left corner piece. As the process continued the mirror twirled slowly becoming whole. "Awww snap." Michael shouted excitedly covering his mouth once it was completed.

"Took you long enough" Streak said sitting up. "I was starting to fall asleep on you."

Snapping his finger and pointing towards his penis Michael said, "ETD my nigga."

Raising his finger up as if he were about to say something important Streak replied, "Nahh that's your duty so get to work."

Letting off a smirk Mike couldn't help but notice how much Streak acted like him.

"So, question?" Elektra said.

"What go dine" Michael replied.

"Is one all you can do?" Elektra said creating eighteen mirrors all of them twirling and floating in between each other.

"Say Bo…." Pausing Michael could sense two people walking into the forest.

Picking up on their electrical output Elektra said, "Two Arcadians are approaching."

Stretching his body, Michael smiled. "I got this the two of you can leave." Looking at the faces of his two Dragons he corrected himself. "Or watch!" Turning his back on the approaching Arcadians Mike acted as if he didn't know they were coming.

"Finally, we have found you" Tim said menacingly.

"Found me?" Taking a step towards them Mike said, "Is there a problem or some."

"Not yet but there is about to be" Tim threatened eyes glowing yellow and becoming tiger like as he entered his first beast transformation.

"So, what are you like a werewolf or some?" Michael mocked unamused.

"No, I am the werewolf." Commented Paul as his eyes gained a bluish glow.

"Is dis all your show has to offer because I give it zero stars." Michael said shooing them away as if they were dogs. "Ya'll can leave now."

"I'm going to ask you only once to hand over the necklace and the ring." Tim growled highly irritated.

"Necklace? Ring?" looking confused Mike was about to say I don't know what you're talking about when it dawned upon him. "Ohhh your da owner of that hize I ran into the utter day. Ey say mayne you had a pretty nice spot."

Losing his cool Tim attacked but Michael dodged it with ease. "Say Bo, you need to get ya boy befo' I fuck em up." Mike said dodging two more advances.

Taking a blow to the face Tim stumbled back in surprise. "I didn't even see him move." He thought.

"Come hea boy" Michael taunted as he made kissing sounds and whistled. Patting himself on the thighs he repeated himself. "Come hea boy."

Transitioning into his second state Tim took on his Were-tiger form. Using flash step Michael stood face to face with him. Caught off guard by his opponent speed Tim instinct was to swing. Weaving the punch Mike hit him in the stomach followed by a left hook. "Thunder Punch."

Watching as his comrade was lifted off his feet into the air Paul converted into his second form as a werewolf, catching Tim before he crashed into a tree. "Imma ask you only once. How important is dis necklace and ring? Because I can give em to ya, but its gonna cost ya."

"Look like I have a worthy kill." said Tim as his aura burst out of his body.

"Tim he's a…" Paul was unable to finish his words before Michael punched Tim.

Tuhft! Tuhft! Tuhft, Tim crashed through three trees before coming to a halt. Paul eyes grew wide as he prepared for Michael to attack him next. Turning to face Paul Mike said, "You can get it to."

"No, this is my fight." Tim roared. Using his claws to rip open a portal he thrust his arm threw it.

Taking a punch to the face Michael swung two jabs back into the portal before using flash step.

"Where did he…" Feeling himself being yanked around by the shoulder Tim was punched.

Giving Tim a hand Paul asked, "Are you sure you don't want help."

"I got this." Tim shouted.

Throwing his hands up Paul said, "Hey you mad at him not me."

Opening multiple portals Tim sent out multiple strikes before releasing a blast of fire.

Unable to dodge any of the punches Michael caught the ball of fire allowing it to explode in his hand and engulf him in flames.

"Now it's time to show you the true extent of a Scarlet Letter operative." Tim gloated sure he done some major damage.

"I wouldn't get to excited." Paul commented seeing Mike fanning away the flames as he got up. For Paul's aura gave him the ability to see so many minutes into the past and future using his five senses as Tim aura gave him the ability to rip through time and space using his claws.

"What do you mean that was a direct hit." Staring in disbelief as Michael swiped away the flames Tim clenched his jaw. "What's next?" he asked.

Seeing Mikes menacing aura Paul replied, "You should move to the left."

"Meteor Punch" Michael thought as he swung. Punching a tree as Tim dodged it was obliterated. "Look I'm done playing wit ya." Mike said releasing his aura.

Unable to move from the pressure that Michael aura emitted Paul had a vision of the people that stayed next door entering the small forest along with the laws. "Look we will answer any questions you want in exchange for the ring and necklace." He begun. "Ya'll have made to much of a commotion and company will be arriving shortly."

Grunting Tim said, "Don't tell him shit. And soon as I can move…"

"Tim our mission was to collect the necklace and ring remember."

Pondering this Mike said. "Aite question one how did you learn how to control your aura and elemental powers."

"Through school and the Gala." Paul replied.

"What school?"

"Provenience the school for evols."

"Whats an Evol?" Michael asked.

"Really kid how…" Interrupting Tim, Paul said "Anyone with special abilities no matter what they are."

"Aite, what is the Gala?"

"A military group formed of Evols called Red Jackets or Scarlet Letter."

"How do I get in Provenience"

"Through recommendations, family, or they will find you." Paul replied.

"Put me in this school I will give you what you want." Mike commanded.

"Is that all you request?" Tim asked.

"Naw I want two g's for wasting my time."

"Two G's you know what you can…" Tim started to speak but Paul interrupted him once again.

"No problem."

"What!" Tim shouted struggling to move. "When I get free, I'll murder ya."

"Tim you must calm down we lost already." Paul said turning to Mike. "Anything else."

"Yea" walking up to Tim Mike smacked the taste out of his mouth. "You gone learn to respect me."

Roaring Tim tried to bite Michael, but he couldn't move nothing but his neck.

"Meet me here tomorrow I'll bring the necklace. Once I'm in the school you'll get the ring." Turning his back on them he walked off. Coming out of hiding Streak and Elektra followed behind him.

"How long have they been here." Tim asked transitioning back to his human state.

"I don't know." Paul answered surprised.

"Why you tell him we were going to give him two thousand dollars." Tim yelled.

"No worries that will come from my funds." Paul replied.

"It better"

Returning to his human state Paul said, "They're here."
