Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: The ripped page

Sapph came over to Zorin and said, Hey honey. Oh hey Sapph. What happened over there? Oh not much really. Other than one of the girls had the same power as you. She wrapped me a little too tight and put me in a cell. Mizuki and the others must have come to try to rescue me, but didn't work. I'm sure Mizuki gave the pills to someone there to give me, when I needed them. When they left, Tigress, the one who undid the ropes. I took a deep breath like I was suffocating, then I still wasn't waking up. They had to take my mask off for me to breathe more. I can't tell you who it was, they recognized me. I told them to keep it a secret, and I believed they would even if they are villains. Ahh. Zorin what is it? Oh no! Something's happening! Master, girls, Mizuki. What's happening? I can't get up. My legs won't let me. Are Master and the others ok? I'll go check. Sapph went to check the others. Looked Like Zorin was in more pain than the others. She went to Master and asked him what's going on. I don't know. I think I have read something like this. It should subside soon. Zorin looks like he is in more pain than anyone here. I figured as much. I know why too. After the pain is gone, I will talk to him. Everyone who had the mark took their deep breaths except for Zorin.

Sapph went back over to Zorin, and said, Honey. Take a deep breath. Master said, It will go away soon. I know. I can feel it getting less painful. He said in a strained voice. He took a couple of deep breaths. It was finally gone and so was the others. Master and the others with the mark came by to check on Zorin. You ok Zorin? Said Mizuki. Yeah. I will be. Master said, Tomorrow we will go to the library and look for that book. Until then, everyone get some rest. Zuki, Jason, would you mind taking Zorin to his old room? Thank you. OK honey. Me and the kids are going to go home. Let us know how things go OK? I will Sapph. Bye. Kids be good for Mommy ok? They gave Daddy a hug and left with Mommy. OK guys ready? They lifted him up and Zorin's legs were in pain. They could tell something was bugging him, because he was breathing like he was out of breath. Hang on Zorin. We are almost there. Finally we are here. Ok Zorin. There you go. Said Zuki. Hey what's wrong? We heard you breathing pretty hard. Oh it's just my legs. They were killing me. Hopefully with a little rest they won't be as bad. Ok Jason. I will see you soon. Tell Chloe I'll be ok. Yeah sure. Night Zorin. Yeah. Zuki how are you? I know everyone who had the mark hurt too. Oh I'm fine now, but yeah, it hurt. Not as bad as it did when the mark was fully developed. Yeah I know right? That took longer. Ok. Said Zuki. I will let you get some rest. Yeah ok. Night Zuki.

The next morning, it was time to go to the library to look for the book. Hey Zorin. Can you walk? Let me see. Yeah, but I still might need a little help. Hang on a second. Said Master. Here these should help. Thanks Master. Ok lets go. OK everyone we will be back soon. Master and Zorin went to the library.

Here we are. Ok let's look for that book Zorin. They looked everywhere they could until Master spotted it on a stand. Ah here it is. Come here Zorin! Found it! OK let's see.... Aha here it is. He looked it over and said, Blah bla blah oh here it is. When people's marks act up at the same time, it's getting closer to the time they come together and unleash their special power all at once. When that happens....Uh Oh. When what happens? Said Zorin. I don't know. The page is torn. Said Master. Hold on. Let's go get the librarian. Zorin. You sit. I will get her. Yes what is it? Said the librarian. Oh this page is torn. Do you happen to know what happened to it? Said Zorin. Oh well a boy a few years ago came in here. He had black hair and a scar on his shoulder. Would his name happen to be Sky? Said Zorin. Zorin I thought I told you to stay. I'll be fine. Yeah that was his name. Thank you maam. OK let's go. Said Zorin. I have a phone call to make. They went back in the car and left back to the dojo.

OK we are back. Zorin go make that phone call. Yeah I will. Zorin dialled Mr. J.'s number. Hey Mr. J. it's Zorin. Do you by any chance have Sky's number? Yes I do. Oh good. Can I have it please?! It's an emergency! Slow down Zorin. Breathe. Is everything ok? Right now yes. If you want to know, come by here. Until then, what's his number. Here I will text it to you. Ok thanks. OK got it bye.

Zorin dialled Sky's number. Hey Sky. Its Zorin. Your Dad gave me your number. Its kind of an emergency. You know that dojo I hung around in high school? Come by here asap! Yeah sure Zorin! I hope everything is ok. Yeah it will be. See you soon.

Mr. J. and Sky showed up. Hey Dad why are you here? He asked me here too. OK Sky. We went to the library and looked at the book about the mark. We talked to the librarian, and she told me she saw you there. That you had torn a page from the book. Yes I did. My Sr. Year. If you want to know what it said, Once the ones with the mark come together and unleash their powers at once, chaos will happen. Chao's oh no. Is there a way to stop it? I looked myself. Said Sky. I found a book, here is the picture. As far as I know, it is in the museum. It's old. I can't remember what page the spell is on. Reading the spell would stop the Chao's, but won't stop the ones with the mark from releasing their power. I get it. That makes since. I have a feeling it will happen in 2 month's time. Let me know when you guys want to break into the museum. I will be there. OK sure. Hey Sky. Want to stay for a bit? Said Zorin. Sorry I can't. Gotta get home to my wife and kids. OH you have a wife? What's her name? I Married Olivia Granger from high school. We had 2 boys. Mason is 6 and Zayne is 5. Oh congrats. Ok well see you later. Yeah sure. Mr. J. said, I better be heading back soon too. OK well hope to see you again. Yeah me too bye.

one month went by and luckily the girls were trained in time before the mark healed halfway. Zorin said, OK girls. Can I talk to you for a min privately? Sure Zorin. Said Bella. Ok come with me. Master I will be taking the girls to the I R to talk. Sure go ahead.

Ok here we are girls. Let's go inside the doors and talk. Ok girls have a seat. Ok now. What I want to ask you girls is, do you want to stay here until your marks fully develop? Do you think you will be able to control it until your mark heals and head back to Jay? Jay said he wanted you back and I don't want to make any trouble for him than I have to. Well we will see how far it will go. Said Bella. We will give it 2 weeks. If we can handle it, then we wont need to. If we can't, we will contact you. So keep the phone ok? Yes Bella, I will. If you need us for anything, call too. Just don't call Jay. Yeah I know. Ok girls. You want to head out to see Jay again? Yeah maybe in a little bit. We are enjoying ourselves. Also, we will tell Jay what you and Master taught us so that way he can help. OK. Just remember to meditate. I learned that the hard way. Guys before you go, if your thoughts ever get so bad that meditation doesn't work for anyone you know, let me know. I don't care who it is. Call me. I can help. Thank you Zorin. Said Kiara. Lets go back to the others. OK lets go. Said Zorin. Once they were out of the building, Kiara asked, Hey Zorin. Was that a Cell back there? Yes it is a Cell. Its called the Magic Cell. It's for people with powers to go into. It takes them away once they are in there. When they are out they have them back. Oh so it doesn't permanently take them away that's good. I was in there once. Said Zorin. I requested it. My thoughts were in a jumble and I couldn't take it anymore. I was in there 3 days and had to go to a specialist. He helped me and I got better. That's good. OK kids here we are. Kids why don't you tell Master and Zuki you have to go soon. I will escort you home. OK Zorin thanks. Bella told Zuki and Kiara told Master. Oh ok it was nice to meet you girls. We would love to see you again. Us too. OK girls shall we go? said Zorin. Hey Master. I am escorting them home ok? Yeah sure.

Ok here we are. Goodbye girls. I can't stay. I'm sorry. I know Zorin. Thank you for everything. Any time girls. Oh Zorin. Kiara whispered in his ear about the upcoming plan for Jay. He plans on stealing a specific book from the museum in 1 month. Wait a second. 1 month? That's when both of your marks should be fully developed. Thank you girls for letting me know. I will see you soon whether enemies or friends. Yeah. Said Kiara. See you. They went inside and Zorin flew off.

OK guys I'm back. Oh hey Zorin. Said Tenma. Get the kids back saftely? Yeah I did. Speaking of kids, where's your kids and wife? Oh they are on a walk. He is such a cutie batootie. Thanks Zorin.

While Zuki was talking to Zorin, He said, Zorin. I have been thinking of adopting a child for awhile. Your only 20 years old, a child yourself. Are you sure? Yeah I am. I may be only 20, but I am smart for my age. Always have been. Ok Zuki. It's up to you. By the way Zuki, you are sure a fun brother. Haha is that so? Yeah. I never get bored with you around. Well you know Zorin, that son of yours really likes training with you. You need to spend more time with him, instead of spending most of the time here. Yeah I know. I just like staying here. Even if it is work. I like to hang here. When I don't work, I'm normally home. So I spend time with them enough I think. If you say so.

Ok. Said Zorin. I think I'm going to give Chloe a call. I promised I would take her somewhere. OK Zorin have fun. I will. Zorin called her up. Hey Chloe. It's Zorin. Want to hang out with me today? I want to take you somewhere. Yeah sure. Let me tell Dad. Hey Dad. I'm hanging out with Zorin for a bit. OK Have fun. Tell Zorin to bring you back safe. He always does you know that. Uh my parents said ok. For you to bring me back safe, even though you always do. Haha yeah they have been like that since I have known them and Jason as well. Since he lived with them. OK I'm ON my way to pick you up. OH Don't worry about it. I'll bring the 4 wheeler. OK sure see you soon then.

She got to the dojo, and said, Hey Zorin. So where we going? It's a surprise. Said Zorin. We won't need any transportation, just our legs. OK. She looked confused. She followed him to what looked familiar. Zorin said, Does this place look familiar? Yeah a little bit. You will find out soon.

OK here we are. Let's head inside. I know where we are now! This is the way to Akura's place right? Yeah you guessed it. We are going to see your childhood friend you haven't seen in a few years. I wanted to visit her parents. You can hang out with her. Oh cool! I was wondering when I would see her again. Thanks Zorin! I love you so much! HaHa I love you too Chloe. Just as they were going to put their hand on the cave, Chloe sensed something strange from Zorin. Hey Zorin. Wait a min. Before we touch the cave, is something wrong? No why? I have been able to sense something wrong with you since I was little. I can now. Are you sure your, OK? Yes Chloe. Now let's go. Really, look. I'm not acting weird right now, I feel fine. OK well let's go then. They finally got through to the field and Zorin started feeling weird like he always does there. Chloe, every time I come here, I feel weird. You must have sensed my nervousness. When we get closer, I might end up coughing and getting weaker. They have medicine there that can help me. I don't know if you remember that much. I do now. Thanks for the heads up. OK well let's go now.

They were halfway there when Zorin started coughing. This is where it usually starts. Cough Cough. Chloe would normally run ahead but seeing Zorin like this she stayed by his side. Cough Cough. Zorin your face looks sick. I know I will be ok soon. We are almost there.

Once they finally got there, Zorin collapsed in front of the gate to their house. Zorin wake up. Zorin! She knocked on the door and Akura answered. Hey Chloe. What's up haven't seen you in years! Yeah you too. Zorin is collapsed on the ground. Go get your Mom and Dad. OK. Mom Dad Zorin and Chloe are here. Zorin needs some assistance from you. OK we are coming.

They ran outside to see Zorin passed out in front of the gate. Zorin! Hey! Zorin can you hear us?! Zorin! OK let's turn him around and make sure he is still breathing. His chest isn't moving. Oh no he stopped breathing. Katie do the breaths. I will do the compression. Got it. 1...2...3... Breathe! Come on Zorin! Don't die on us! 1...2...3... Breathe! 1....2...3... Breathe. 1 more time! Come on Zorin! Breathe for us! You got kids you have to take care of! 1...2...3 Breathe. Zorin finally coughed. Kaito and Katie had a sigh of relief. Oh good. Now lets take him inside to our room and give him the shot.

They gave him the shot and a few min later he was finally waking up. He was slowly opening his eyes. Chloe ran in and said, Is Zorin OK? Yes I'm fine now Chloe, don't worry. I'm sorry I scared you. I have never been this bad before. I don't know what happened? Yeah you stopped breathing this time. Sorry about that. Just probably my age. OK I better get up out of this bed and join you guys. Easy getting up. Said Kaito. Yeah I know. Thanks guys for helping me out all the time I come here. It's a good thing you are a certified doctor Kaito, or I would probably be dead. Yeah well, just be careful ok? I will try. Hey, how long have I been asleep anyway? Not long only 1 hour. Oh good. OK let's go in the living room and visit.
