"So we just have to put the monster down with weapons coated with saliva ey? That's convenient", he scoffed,"Hey, maybe this is a good time to practice these super powers ey Maurice?", Aaron suggested looking at Maurice who looked back him then sighed.
"I guess we've got enough time to go through the basics while the police has it distracted. I think that's our only hope now. What do you say Idris?", Maurice asked looking at Idris who sat with Anqa at the back seat.
"*Sigh* what a drag. Alright whatever you say", Idris replied indifferently...
They all got down from the car and went further down the alley away from the chaos. Two helicopters flew over them towards all the chaos.
"Guys? We should hurry",Aaron suggested nervously.
"Alright. Okay look, the problem with your powers is that, Aaron, you can do a bit of magic... No no not a bit, you can do alot like you did with the cyclops but you lack control and stamina and I'll tell what's up with you", Maurice said standing on a dumpster as the rest of them stood before her.
"So? What's up with me then", Aaron asked coming forward.
"Calm down Ron, not yet. First let's talk about Anqa. Anqa all your life you've never experienced anything like powers unlike Aaron who gets twitches now and then. Why? Cause you lack the basics of magic, emotions. All your life you've been taught to control your emotions and suppress it. You'll have to undo that", Idris added coming to stand near the dumpster where Maurice stood.
"Do you understand now? Aaron you've got emotions but lack control of those emotions but Anqa lacks these emotions but possess control. You both have the secrets of unlocking the basics for each other so it's actually up to you if you would work together", Maurice said turning away to groom herself.
"Well it's not like we're asking you to learn everything at a go, just the basics. Yunno just making fire at all would be progress Anqa. And a warning Anqa, don't Channel your powers with rage or the world would burn", Idris said looking up at her. She stood still emotionless as she looked back at him.
"So you're saying if I can become a bit grumpy like her then I can control my freezing abilities? Seems easy enough. Now Anqa ladies first. I'll help you to atleast feel something", Aaron said turning to Anqa. She turned to look at him. They were now facing each other.
"So what are you feeling right now?", Aaron asked her placing his hand on her shoulder. Anqa stared at the hand then back at Aaron.
"The only feeling I've got right now is the need to punch you square in the face", she replied still staring at him.
"Oh God!", He exclaimed as he gently slid his hand down from her shoulder.
"Okay look, you've shown emotions before. For example, when you punched mist into my cabinet for shooting me, that was a need to protect. Oh and before our birthmarks awoke, your cuts vanished because you felt love for the first time when I held you. I know that behind all this thick grumpiness there's a sweet sister waiting to emerge, you just have to try", Aaron added trying to convince her.
She stood reflecting on what he said then nodded," I'll try. I've never backed down from a challenge yunno", she said with a faint smile.
"Alright think about that moment when he held you, hold on to that feeling and use it to direct the energy flowing in you", Idris said," You'll need to move back a bit Aaron", he added looking at him. Aaron moved back a bit. Anqa closed her eyes. She felt something.
"It feels like something is moving inside me, I can't quite explain", she said with a full grin this time.
"Good, that is your energy, now Channel it to a part of your body, your hands, your fist, a finger, anywhere", Idris instructed.
Anqa did as she was told and lifted her palm. She opened her eyes to look at her palm and immediately it started smoking then her whole hand was on fire.
"Whoa!", Aaron exclaimed moving back further," how does it feel?", He asked staring at her.
"I... I'm not sure, it doesn't feel like much, I thought it'll burn or something, but it doesn't", she said still staring at her hand. Then she slowly cupped her hand and the flame centered on her palm, then on a finger. She then moved it from finger to finger then back into her palm.
"You can also make the fire into whatever you will", Idris added. Anqa nodded then squeezed close her palm quenching the fire. Then from her clenched fist fire crept up slowly and formed a knuckleduster. They all started laughing as she put it off.
"Show off", Aaron scoffed,"My turn now", he said raising his palm. His hand began to smoke but of ice. It began to freeze as it trailed up onto his arm and upwards. It stopped as it reached his elbow. He then arched his palm and thought of dagger but instead ice shot out from his finger towards Maurice who was busy grooming herself. She stopped it with a paw. She then looked up at him with a hint of disappointment.
"Oh c'mon I almost got it", he said annoyed. His arm unfroze and he sat down on the floor. Anqa walked up to him.
"Don't tell me you've given up. I can't have a loser bro you no that right?", She said trying to cheer him up but she knew she's the worst person for the job,"Okay look you helped me, I'll help you too. See where you are doing it wrong is at feeling. You let your emotions run wild instead of controlling them. You have to know how to feel a little and how to feel a lot. I don't even know if I'm making any sense", she chuckled,"You've got this Ron, I know you do", she said with a smile as she helped him up.
"Okay Aaron look the secret is to not rush it, breath, go slowly. You'll get there boy", Maurice added staring right at him.
He stretched out his arm and thought of the digger again then took a deep breath. He slowly closed his palm and held on to an ice handle that has formed then instead of a little dagger, the blade grew into a sword, a frozen sword.
"I did it! I did it!! Haha! Did you see that I did it!" He laughed flexing the sword. Anqa was happy too as she laughed with him.
"Now put that away before you hurt yourself", Maurice said jumping down the dumpster unto the back of Idris then the ground,"I think you are ready to face the beast now. But you'll need your weapons", she added looking back at Idris who nodded back at her.
"Weapons?", They asked simultaneously.
"Well let's hurry, looks like The Ōmukada has started searching for it's preys", Idris said as the beast shrieked loudly as the endless gun fire continued...
