Chereads / Jaxon Stars, The Dimensions / Chapter 13 - Regret

Chapter 13 - Regret

As he landed on the grass, he found himself looking at an open land. In the middle of the land, there was a bar that had loud music and stomping from there. Tadine then made his way to the bar as he saw another house but small and about ten meters from where he was.

He made his way in as everyone looked at him. The whole bar was filled with drunkard men. As he went over to the bartender, he asked for a glass of water with a bit of milk. When he drank the liquid, all the gentlemen looked at him. They started to laugh as everything went into a blur.

Tadine then tried to walk but two men grabbed his hands and tied them together. In his weak state, Tadine fell to his knees and blacked out.

He opened his eyes and saw the men surrounding him as the other grabbed chains and started swaying them around. Tadine got furious as he commanded that they set him free. The guy then hit Tadine as he screamed in pain. He then hit him with the other chain which grabbed his flesh and pulled it off him.

Tadine got mad when he saw blood drop from his back. When the guy whipped the chain again, Tadine grabbed it and pulled the guy towards him, placing the chains around his neck and cutting him open.

The rest of the men then grabbed swords, guns, knives more chains as they faced Tadine but he grinned, activating his power.

When the Dimensions arrived at the new planet, it too was open land. No houses. No trees. No water. Just mud and sand. 'Any luck finding the next portal?' Asked Aries. 'Nope,' Ethan replied.

They walked eight kilometres and no portal was seen. Ethan then fell to his knees as Aries rushed over to him. 'The portal is nowhere close and we're wasting time to get to Clementine, I should have never let her save me, now I regret it,' Ethan said.

Out of nowhere, he was dragged into the air as his eyes turned black and his hands with his legs facing behind him. Aries, Scott and Thomas yelled out for Ethan but he was stuck in the trans.

Aries then tells Scott to send Roots to bring him down but he's unsuccessful without Ethan's commands, their powers fade away. Aries then also starts to feel regret as she falls to her knees and is also ascended into the air, her eyes turning black and her arms and legs facing behind her. Scott tried his best to command his powers but they were gone as he felt weak. Thomas then looked up and said, 'I should've helped Ethan, we're a team and I'm just letting him feel this way plus I'm hiding my love from you. I'm stupid. I'm nothing. I'm useless,' as also escalated into the air, eyes turned to black and his legs with arms behind him not long when Scott also felt regret for not telling Thomas that everything he said was false, and into the air he went as well.

They all were under the spell as their regrets were being absorbed by something.

Tadine then used the same chain and swung it around one of the men's necks, using them to hit the others. As the others threw knives, he quickly dodged them and made them hit the men with swords. Tadine swang the chain to the roof as he used it to jump up and sent Clemetine's powers to force them to kill others. Murder, screams and blood was made as Tadine laughed, sitting on the ceiling.

After ten minutes, he reversed the powers and jumped, eyeing the last guys left. 'I didn't come here to fight or play, I came here for Cithadel,' he said as the man's facial expressions went to shock. 'You don't know, do you?' 'Know what?' asked Tadine as he sat down.

'I'm sure you saw the house across our bar. That's where Cithadel lives since her sister was arrested.' the man said. 'Why was she arrested?' Tadine asked. 'She wanted to create her own universe where she and her sister could live, with peace and freedom. But then the space army won't fond of her plan as it could kill other lives and maybe end humanity as we know it. So her sister was arrested and Cithadel didn't take it well. She nearly killed all our men. After the attack, she ran towards that house and lived there, never came out,' the man said, grabbing his wine and drinking it.

Tadine then looked through the window and saw Cithadel's house. He knew he had to get to her sister no matter what. So he grabbed his stuff and made his way over to her building.

The Dimensions then opened their eyes as the person they had Regret for appeared in front of them. As Ethan looked at Clementine, she slapped him and cried. 'Why didn't you save me? We're a team. You're our leader. But no, you left me there. You let me die. You let Tadum take me so he can use my powers. That's right, it's all your fault,' she said as Ethan fells to his knees and cried louder than before. Aries saw Ethan as he walked over to her and said, 'If you really loved me, you would've helped me by now. You would've helped me find Clementine. But you didn't. You don't love me. You don't care about me. You'd rather let me commit suicide and die,' and Aries too fell to her knees, crying tearfully.

It was different when Thomas and Scott had both each other say Negative things but the love these two had for each other was too powerful as Scott said, 'I know Thomas would never say those words to me. He said it himself, he loves me!' and the whole vision started to crack as it exploded and Scott fell, seeing his friends up in the air. Scott then screamed out Thomas's name as he fell and landed on Scott. They did the same to Aries but were unsuccessful when Ethan looked at them and beam blasted them, sending them flying. 'Ethan please, you can fight it,' Aries said but the possession of Ethan was too powerful.

The ground then started to convulse as a huge misty creature burst from it and eyed the Dimensions. 'What are you?' Thomas said. 'I'm REGRET, the one controlling your friend,' the creature said, forcing Ethan to send lights towards the Dimensions and then blasting all of them, leaving them weak on the ground.

Tadine then blasted the door down as a girl came out and screamed. The scream was her power, as she sent Tadine's flesh peeling off. Tadine then clapped which sent a wave, forcing her to fall to the ground. He then made his levitate as he forced her to tell him where her sister was. 'She's in prison, dumbass,' said Cithadel as Tadine forced her to tell him how he could get her. 'I'm not going to tell you. You don't understand what it means to be hated because you want something,' Cithadel said as Tadine released her and said, 'I do know. That's why I want your sister to create my galaxy. I've been shamed. Hunted and almost killed. I want to control people. I want people who will worship me. That's why I want your sister,' Tadine said as Cithadel looked at him, suspiciously.

'How can I trust you?' Cithadel asked. 'I know the story those men told me was a lie and now you can get your revenge by killing them. They're coming right now to try to kill us both,' Tadine said as the men arrived.

The men then started throwing armour and weapons as Cithadel took a deep breath in and screamed so loud, not only their skin came off but as well as their bones. They were turned into dust as Tadine laughed.

He then opened a portal as Cithadel went through and Tadine laughed, heading for the next location.

Aries went flying as she pulled Thomas with her. Scott then ran as roots picked him up and dragged him all the way to Ethan. Ethan then used the sword he formed and cut the root, leaving Scott to fall and he then blasted Scott, injuring his hand. Aries tried to form a fireball but Ethan just jumped towards her and punched her. He then grabbed her and smashed her against the ground.

Ethan was holding Aries in the air while his hands were wrapped around her neck. Aries then said, 'Ethan please, you have to resist. Just think about what will happen when you save Clementine. You... You saw it. Y-You saw Her. Come... Come on,' she said as she was close to letting out her last breath.

Ethan remembered the vision and dropped Aries as he screamed and the whole planet exploded. Regret then tried to stop Ethan as he sent whispers of regret heading for his ears. Ethan then beam-blasted regret as it exploded and died.

Ethan hugged Aries as she blushed. 'Thanks. I don't know what I'd do without you,' Ethan said, smiling at Aries. When they saw the next portal, Ethan's eyes then turned white as he arrived on a different planet.

He saw a man and girl, destroying a planet, killing millions of lives. The man then said,

'Have you seen her sister?' but the person didn't respond as the girl screamed and killed a quarter of people. When Ethan looked into the man's eyes, he saw Clementine. He saw the girl he had been searching for. As he tried to stop them, he literally passed through them, remembering that this was all a vision.

His eyes turned back to their normal colour and Ethan started breathing heavily. 'What's wrong?' Aries asked. 'I... I saw him. I saw Tadum and he's going to destroy planets,' Ethan said, trying to catch his breath.

'Well, what are we going to do? The portal leads to another planet,' said Scott as they looked concerned. 'I don't know. We have to stop him. He's killing innocent people,' Ethan said, as a tear dropped from his eye.

They just stood there as a white light appeared. It was so bright, you couldn't look at it. When it burst, a hole appeared which was to a planet that had already been destroyed.

'Woah,' Scott said. 'How?' Aries said. 'I don't know but this is our chance to stop Tadum and that girl,' Ethan said as he walked through the portal with the Dimensions.
