It was just another ordinary morning for Aires, as she woke up to get ready for school. Even though through her window she saw that the clouds were a bit frowned, she attributed it to a possible November rainfall. She had just finished her breakfast and was getting ready for school when she heard the news that would change her life forever. A part of her town had been burnt down by a devastating fire, leaving many families homeless and in despair.
Aires couldn't believe what she head. "Could this be what Perry meant?" She asked herself. At the time of their conversation, even though she got a little scared when she heard her say "fireworks", eventually she brushed it off as an empty threat, but now she realized that her words had been a warning. She felt a knot form in her stomach as she thought of her friends and the families who lived in the affected area. She quickly scooped up her phone and dialed Elena's Vanessa's number, among her friends Vanessa was the only one who lived a little closer to the affected areas. As if she knew someone was going to call, Vanessa did not allow the phone to ring for even a second when she answered. She informed Aires that she and her family were okay, fortunately, the fire fighters started a fire break a couple of blocks away to prevent the fire from spreading to her side of town, so they were perfectly safe. Aires then switched to a conference call, including Jason and Elena, she then informed them to meet her at school to plan a way to help.the affected families.
As she walked to school, Aires saw the destruction first hand. The once-beautiful homes and businesses were now nothing more than charred ruins. The smell of smoke still hanged heavy in the air, and the sounds of sirens and crying echoed through the streets. Aires felt a mix of emotions- anger, sadness, and fear. She couldn't understand why anyone would want to cause such destruction and devastation, but again, she wasn't dealing with just anyone, but an army born to destroy.
When she arrived at school, she found that many of her classmates were absent. She soon learned that their families had lost everything in the fire. Aires felt a deep sense of empathy for her colleagues and wanted to do something to help. She organized a fundraiser together with the other members of the Theron Of Evil, to collect donations for the families affected by the fire. She also helped to coordinate volunteer efforts to clean up the damaged area and provide support to those who had lost everything. Sportfest was cancelled that day, all the students matched together in unison to the damaged area and under the guidance of the fire fighters, did what they could to help the situation.
Through her actions, Aires was able to make a difference in the lives of her community members. She saw firsthand the power of coming together in times of crisis and the importance of lending a helping hand to those in need. The fire was a tragic event, but it brought the town together and showed Aires the strength and resilience of her community.
When Perry heard about the effort made by her rivals to restore hope in the heart's of the people, she slammed a jug of hot coffee into her window, causing it to shutter. As she sat back in her seat to relax and to calm herself down, she noticed the wind blowing intensively and the trees outside, swaying in every direction, the sight pissed her off even more, her eyes turned deadly and with a lifting of her finger, weird black creeping plants crawled up the window to replace the broken glasses. She shifted her gaze towards the mirror for a reason she only knew, but in the mirror, two conflicting images appeared, the Perry everyone in New World High knew before then she went to HOMER the second time and got possessed, and then the Perry with red eyes, the poser, the demon who was currently in control. The two in one body were involved a struggle to claim ownership of the body in which they found themselves. The real Perry screamed out aloud, calling for help with all her might, but downstairs was a place where hope had no home, there were no real people, there were just floating beings and a couple of possessed people surveying the environment outside for intruders. As the two struggled, the demon stretched itself out to overshadow Perry, then they both became one being again. Immediately it pulled itself together, it noticed that the creeper which had shielded the window were on fire. It tilted its head in amazement, wondering where the fire came from, then like before it lifted up it's finger, pointing it at the window, a dark energy shot out through it's finger and headed for the window to regrow the burnt creepers. As quickly as they began to climb, fire from a distance like a fireball smashed the wall and raced after them to consume them, the weird part was that, after consuming them, the fire crawled in a linear pattern towards her and put itself out right at her feet, leaving the inscriptions 'T O E'. She raised her brows in a frown and in a split-second she was standing at the window, looking out to see where it came from or who sent it. Out in the darkness, she noticed a figure clothed in white hanging up in the skies, but she could not see clearly enough to tell whom it was. There was fire spinning in circles in front of the figure with the same letters as she saw in their midst. She gave out a roar assembling all her demons around her, then she shouted "bring ons gas hierheen" pointing at the figure. The creatures took off into the sky to battle and capture the intruder that was disturbing their peaceful evening, but as hard as they tried, they could not fight their way through the fiery defenses the intruder had, it sometimes exploded when they were crowded around it, so they decided after numerous failures to retreat. Perry got really furious this time, and decided to do it by herself, she said some words and a heap of dark clouds gathered beneath her feet and began carrying her I'm every direction the intruder went, with the legion army following her.
The chase finally brought them to New World High's school park, where the intruder finally descended and settled in the center. The whole place was quiet as Perry gently and comfortably made her landing, she looked around her in the darkness and all she could see was her intruder standing in the center of the park. "I see you want something to die for, you have come to this pathetic school. Who are you?.... Aires?" She asked, signaling her demons to surround their companion, "If you want to pick a fight, pick it on someone your size" she continued, "Ohh, you know that quote?" The person responded, shaking her body to switch her outfit "Aires?" She laughed, "guys it's our little weakling, she still thinks she has nine lives" "You couldn't pick on your own size, so you decided to harm innocents?" Aires asked, stepping forward in her Halloween witch costume which her Dad bought for her before his death, the last gift to her "Who is going to step up to me? Don't tell me it's you... I can squash you right here right believe me child, you will be unrecognizable" Perry continued with her mockery "as for what happened last night to those... disgusting human beings, consider it as collateral damage, but you... I will let you live a little longer to see the Grand Master descend and witness how true power feels like, then he will have the honor of squeezing your neck till you fall asleep forever, what do you think?" "I think your master doesn't have the balls to face me. Aren't you even tired of living in someone else's shadow? I mean, hey girl, I had lots of respect for you until just now when you told me you have a boss, I mean... I do what I want when I want, like now, I'm here cos I feel like letting all these people know how much of a servant you are, and also how much of a poser you are cos let's face it, I know you don't have a skin, that's why you're borrowing someone else's, I don't even know the term for it, 'Parasite'?" Aires mocked, boldly taking steps towards her but making sure to keep enough distance, "Did you say there are others here? That's why you brought me here? Why not kill them? Get them" Perry ordered, her demons quickly prepared to attack the audience they could not see but Aires shouted to her own back saying "Light it up!" Immediately, Jason, Elena and Vanessa stepped into view standing one on each corner of the field leaving that last corner unpossessed. Each one lit a match and threw it on the lines drawn to keep themselves, Aires, Perry and all her demons inside the square, then all the light bulbs were turned on, revealing spectators all over the place, who began to chant "Evil dies tonight". "You see, your mistake was that you thought by destroying our homes, and destroying our lives you weakened us you did no such thing, you made us realize how strong we are, and it's time to push back, let's end this Satana" "We shall see!" Perry replied sharply, she shook her head and commanded her creatures to gather around her, she transformed herself into a fiery red dragon, and prepared to attack, meanwhile, her creatures united and transformed into one huge black venomous snake. "Wow I didn't see that coming" Aires whispered to herself "Any surprises from our side? Now is the time" Elena shouted, Aires and Vanessa began to run towards the dragon leaving Jason and Elena to handle the snake, Jason knew he could not fight a dragon with fire, and Elena knew he could not fight alone.
As they got closer enough Vanessa morphed into a T Rex and was about bang itself to the dragon, "sorry Vanessa" Aires shouted an apology then opened a portal behind the dragon, sucking the three of them into it and spitting them out in the forest where HOMER was located, to prevent injuring the spectators.
As the mighty animals got up from the floor, on one side stood the T-Rex, a large fearsome dinosaur while on the other side was a massive dragon, with scales as black as night and eyes that glowed like molten gold.
The dragon let out a deafening roar and lunged at the T-Rex, its razor-sharp claws extended. But the T-Rex was quick and agile, and it sidestepped the dragon's attack with ease. The dragon swung its tail, trying to knock the T-Rex off balance, but the T-Rex was too strong. It grabbed the dragon's tail with its powerful jaws and pulled with all its might.
The dragon let out a scream of pain as its tail was wrenched from its body. It tried to fly away, but the T-Rex was too fast. It leaped into the air and tackled the dragon to the ground. The dragon let out a final roar as the T-Rex delivered the killing blow, its massive jaws closing around the dragon's neck. Aires reopened the portal and sucked them back inside it, spit them back where it all started. Her eyes turned completely white as well as the clothes she was wearing, then with the speed of a lightening, she ran directly through the dragons body and appeared on the other side in a flash, holding the real Perry, she laid her gently at the feet of the T Rex then with the same speed hastily spun around Jason, sucking all the energy of fire he was shooting at the snake, as she continued to spin, the fire formed a hurricane full of fire, then it aimed at the snaked and swallow it through the hollow above the hurricane. The noise that came out was the loudest noise ever heard, the spinning fire went on to consume the weak dragon in whole as well and finally stopped at the goalpost, then released about a thousand of skeleton shaped clouds shivering in terror, Aires was seen falling from midair, but just when she was about to hit the ground, Vanessa transformed into a fluffy white bear and laid in position for Aires to fall. "How much do you weigh?" She asked after Aires thumped on her tummy, "You don't wanna know" Aires replied, then she sped towards Elena and placed one palm on her chest, then other on her forehead and looked deeply into her eyes, "Bring them" Aires ordered, a portal opened behind Jason, and out of it came Elena's father, followed by Perry's parents and every person that had been possessed by the demons ever since they were freed at HOMER. Aires let go of Elena and helped her to her stand, then the demon that had possessed Perry woke up from her unconsciousness, and began boast again "You thought you had won? There's more of us you see" "More of who?" Mr. Morrison asked walking towards her with a frown on his face "your reign has ended, these creatures like me and my ancestors before me have seen the light, and we have decided to do what is right, so you have no authority over us anymore demon" "You traitor" the demon fumed, she lifted up both hands and tried to attack but it felt curtailed by a force that she could not get by "I am superior to you, have you forgotten?" Mr. Morrison asked with a laughter then he went to stand beside Aires, the two held hands and the ground beneath them began to tremble, Elena snapped her fingers and put out the surrounding fire, she took a few steps backwards as she noticed the ground beneath her father and her best friend cracking open to give way to the portal that led to the abyss. Aires and Mr Morrison walked away as well, and allowed the massive portal to open up, then Jason, Elena and Vanessa stood in a triangular pattern around it. Aires walked towards the demons and stood before them, then she addressed them saying "Earth is our home, not a playground for forces of darkness like and your troops, next time you have the thought of coming back here, remember this name 'THERON OF EVIL', we are watching you, we will always be watching, and to any being that thinks itself superior to others, we are here to establish equality. Round up your troops, vacation is over." The portal behind Aires began to boil with clouds, then loud roars by demons and beings banished for the rest of time were heard coming out from it. Together with their leader, the new set of demons floated into the portal submissively, never to be seen again. After sucking them all in, it shut itself up and the ground was restored back to how it was. " What about these?" Jason asked, pointing to the group that came with Mr. Morrison. Aires drew closer to him and hugged him tightly, he wrapped his arms around her in like manner, then he felt her body growing cold and weightless, she looked up and saw her spirit ascending, he shivered and lost her ability to speak. She stood in the center of the football field and stretched out her arms, her nature became like that of bright light that they could not look at, as they struggled to see her face, she disappeared to form a thick fog, a voice came out from it and said to them "If you have repented, walk through me and you will leave these mortal bodies without harming the innocents" Each one of them walked through the fog and was separated from the human beings they possessed, then Aires' spirit went back into her body still in Jason's chest "they're with us now" she whispered into his ears, "Don't freak me out again" he replied and pulled out of the hug, just when Aires was about to walk away he pulled her close and kissed her deeply, forgetting that the entire town was watching, everyone began to clap for them except Elena "Get a room" she interrupted, as she split them and went in together with Vanessa for a group hug, with all four smiling sheepishly. As the hug came to an end, Elena ran into her father's arms and squeezed him in a tight hug, Perry walked up to them and began to apologize but Vanessa, her former best friend, hugged her tightly and comforted her, telling her that it wasn't her fault, the remaining three joined in wrapped arms around each other's neck, gave a bow and brought Sportfest to a weird ending.
The next day was a Saturday, renovations began in all parts of the town's affected areas, people whose homes were untouched by the fire offered their guest rooms to the homeless, others went to the point of sharing their single rooms with them. The Theron Of Evil earned the respect of everyone, and the law which said that practitioners of magic should be stoned to death, was abolished. HOMER in the physical world was redecorated by Aires and her friends together with the demons that had been set free, with a touch of magic. From time to time they gathered together to have conversations and plan the future of the new HOMER, people with spiritual problems were allowed to come visit the place for help and those who just wanted to come for sight seeing were allowed to do so too, spirits of all kinds came to be counseled by the Therons and life in Rocksville flourished. Since HOMER was stationed in between North and Southern Rocksville, the two united as one and the name Rocksville was given to them again without divisions.
The Theron Of Evil came up with an idea and split HOMER into departmental sections namely The Fire benders department, headed by Jason where he scripted manuals to train people interested in fire bending, the Shapeshifters department, headed by Vanessa, The Ultimate Psychics, headed by Elena, Legions In The Light headed by the Mr. Morrison and Perry, and then finally Nature's Heart headed by Aires.
As a symbol of appreciation to the Reformer, the kind spirit who made all these possible, Aires made a statute of her and positioned it at the outskirts of Rocksville with "Magic still lives" inscribed on her crown.
🔥 THE END 🔥
