Chapter 72 - The Adventure begins

Aubrie and Colt watched as Crystal sat in the front of the boat and stared off into the ocean.

"We can't leave. There's a shield around the island" Aubrie mentioned.

"I know this, you…were the one who told me about it." Crystal whispered.

"Why use us? Why are you-"

"Your the next generation of the island. You two and the other children are all fragile to these creatures. So even if they do come…they won't step foot on the dark island" Crystal explained.

"Creatures? What are you saying right now, Crystal!? Are you a human? An Akie? What… are you?" Colt asked as he slowly backed away.

Crystal slowly turned her head and showed a twisted smile. "I'm…the same as you" Crystal laughed.

Colt grabbed Aubrie and took a step. "Move again without my permission…and you die" Crystal warned. "Aubrie, grab the sticks and stir! We're almost there."

"Almost where?"

"To my home" Crystal answered.

********

On island x, a man and two others walked around the abandoned kingdom. "You really think someone had the power to kill all these people? There has to be at least 100,000 or more" a man said.

A man in the front kneeled and studied the body. "It looks like…it was fine with a sword. What do you think, boss?"

A man from behind the two walked out into the clearing. He had blue-ish hair, well dressed, a blond fold that covered his eyes, looked to be a young man and was around 6'6 in height. The young man cleared his thoughts and stared at the ground. "This kingdom was ruled by Nzinga. I know this because…we were comrades. The only person that comes to mind of doing this…is someone I know personally. But I'll deal with him another day" the man explained.

"We have to notify the monarchs-"

"There's no need for that. This is…something I wanna do alone" he whispered.

"Well….who is-wait, who the hell is that?" A man pointed out. "Do you see that, Frost?" Frost looked up at the temple and saw no one. "What are you talking about, Delta? You see anything, Charlie?"

"Nope!" Charlie laughed.

"Must've been my imagination. I saw a man standing up there" delta sighed. "You'll be straight, Delta. Just make sure those visions of yours don't get in the way of our investigation or my date" Frost warned. "We're the three IPs of the island. Show some damn class"

Frost walked ahead and studied the area more. Delta and Charlie quickly followed. "I believe Udo…from the Kani, did this. He must've been pissed off at Nzinga for what she did." Frost whispered to himself.

"You two can leave. I'm about to wait and go out for a while" Frost yelled over to Delta and Charlie. Delta and Charlie looked at each other then Shrugged it off.

Night came and Frost walked alone in the forest. Soon after, Summer appeared from the darkness. "I'm glad to finally see you. How long has it been, five days?" Frost asked as he grabbed Summer by the hand and walked with her. "It's about time we get some alone time. But…I have to tell you something important, Frost."

"Tell me after the date. I'm tired of taking things seriously for a change." Frost yawned.

The two walked into a town and waited in what looked to be an abandoned building. "I set this place up for the two of us. It's quiet and the servant is a good friend of mine. Frost said as he led Summer to a table in the center of the dark building.

"It's a bit creepy…don't you think?" Summer laughed.

"Eh, it's okay. You can trust me" Frost said with a smile. A decent sized man walked from the darkness and held a tray of drinks. The man had long dreads that covered his face and only showed his chin, stood around 6'2, and looked to be in great shape. "Two drinks please." Summer said with a smile.

The man nodded and slowly poured the glass of drink. "This wine?" Summer asked Frost.

"Obviously" he scuffed.

Soon after, food was placed on the table and the two began to eat. "Frost…I had a vision. And I think you need to hear this." Summer said as she chewed her food.

"A vision? Like, in the future?"

"Yes. I witnessed…the island burning."

"Burning? Listen, We have wildfires all the time here. I'm pretty sure that's all you-"

"He was at the top."

The two fell into silence as Frost stared at Summer. "He? Summer…what the hell are you talking about!?"

"Adisa….was at the top. He stood over the fire…babe, he's alive I think."

Frost slapped the plate off of the table and scolded Summer. "That's impossible! We all sealed him away! He's not-"

A hand grabbed Frost from the darkness. "Pardon me" the deep voice said as a black sword pierced through Frost's body.

Summer screamed and quickly clapped her hands to reverse time. Frost and Summer were at the table, as the servant came out. This time, he had on a long black cape. "Who the hell are you!? You look just like my friend-"

"He's dead. And you'll join him soon" the servant said.

Frost grabbed Summer and jumped out of the building. Bursting through the walls and into the forest. Frost and Summer jumped up from the ground and continued to run.

"Frost what the hell is that!?" Summer asked frantically as the man was right behind them. "Hell would I know. I can't use my eyes…the whole planet will be destroyed. I'll have to use half of my strength. We can capture him and ask him some questions." Frost said as the two nodded their heads and split up. The man stood In the forest and looked around.

They split up? That's stupid. I could easily just…, the man closed his eyes and released what looked to be black aura. "Let me see them" he whispered as he noticed green eyes staring at him.

The man threw his sword at Summer. Summer leaned back and dodged it swiftly. Frost ran behind the man and attacked him with his ice sword. The man turned around and snapped his fingers, allowing him to teleport onto a tall tree.

"Damn…I need a bre-"

Summer's eyes frightened the man as they were face to face now.

"Impulse!" Aura shot from Summer's eyes as the man was sent flying through the forest. Frost quickly ran down and searched the crater that was created. Frost looked up and noticed the man floating in the sky. "You two are holding back. I thought you'd be a lot stronger since you had something to do with Adisa's sealing." The man scuffed.

"Ice chains of judgment!" Frost yelled as long chains of ice covered the ground.

"That's scary." The man said to himself as he started preparing his body to dodge.

Frost swung the chains around violently as the man dodged and flew around in the air. "Now Summer!" Frost yelled as she jumped out. "Expansion!"

Everything turned green as the man and Frost were both frozen in time. Summer floated towards the man and stopped right in front of his face.

"My expansion stops time and space. You killed Frost's friend? Who are you and who do you work for? How do you know Adisa? I want you to answer these questions when I unfreeze time!" Summer ordered the man.

Her heart dropped when seeing the man form a twisted smile. "Ahahahahsha, AHAHAHA!! You really are weak!" He laughed as he grabbed Summer by the throat and stopped her expansion.

Frost looked up in the air as the man floated to the ground and held Summer captive. "Drop your weapon…or she dies" the man ordered.

Summer slowly nodded her head. Frost nodded back. "Forgive me…sister." Frost said as he slowly removed his blindfold.

"THATS ENOUGH, SPLINTER!!" A man yelled from the trees in the darkness. Four people leaped from the darkness and surrounded Splinter. "We've done enough. It's time to prepare!" A woman said.

Splinter stared at Frost with hatred and let go of Summer. He raised his sword and pointed it at Frost. "Don't hesitate" he whispered as the five people disappeared.
