Chapter 15 - # Ep 15: HOME-FINAL EPISODE

In ANCHORA the elements are gathered in their meeting room

FIRE speaks first

"Its time to recall the heart of Chaos...she has to come back to us now..."

All the other elements nod in agreement. 

The elements leave together for the gateway.

Back on earth, BELLE and AEGIS walk into a club exhilarated and ready to dance. As usual he grabs drinks for them. Unknown to them the other boys are also at the same club .

AUGER gaping while pointing...

"who...who... sigh…what...."

  lost for words he grabs both HEAD and ALLURE 

HEAD chokes on his drink

AUGER

"Man down…maybe he is still working...I told you guys before... they were dating...meaning the other day to went to his place...no.."

ALLURE and HEAD look at him confused AUGER just sighs shocked

ALLURE

"Maybe he is working as a double agent? "

AUGER

"No man, he has been fully turned...look at him..."

Sighs disappointed, he then beckons the waiter for shots

AUGER

"I'm too sober for this revelation…how can you be so calm...?"

he looks at HEAD.

HEAD

"I mean if AEGIS actually managed that am slightly proud of him...but I feel like he is being played.."

AUGER

"We should approach them to see what's going on"

HEAD

" no...let them enjoy their night"

AUGER

"why should they enjoy their night after spoiling ours?...am going there now!"

HEAD holds him back

"...we will approach them once they leave, maybe we are jumping into conclusions here, lets give AEGIS  a chance probably its his game plan …sigh"

ALLLURE

"Lets not lie to ourselves that does not look like a man with  a game plan that looks like a man helplessly  in love…look at the way he is looking at her ...but as HEAD suggests...lets enjoy the show for now..."

He takes his phone and captures photos of them. HEAD snatches his phone...

HEAD

"don't do that."

ALLURE

"I mean who knew AEGIS could dance..."

AUGER

"AEGIS? Am more shocked she can dance."

ALLURE

"we have known him longer than her but she seems to know him better than us…"

AUGER

"Or maybe they know we are here  and they are pranking us"

HEAD

"that man is displaying a level of commitment beyond a prank ...as ALLURE stated, that is a man in love."

Sigh from the Boys as they continue to sip their drinks with various expressions on their faces ranging from worry to confusion to fear.

Eventually deep in the night BELLE and AEGIS leave the club and are outside waiting for a taxi.

BELLE

"am super cold can I put my hands in your Jacket..."

  AEGIS pulling her closer to his chest

"sure...whaaaa!…"

he jumps and tries to pull away but she holds on to him tightly, having put her icy hands inside his shirt touching his skin he sighs

BELLE

"Very warm"

ALLURE Gags behind them

"...no! no! no!..."

BELLE turns and smiles without letting go

BELLE

"…Oh Hi guys"

HEAD 

"well seem like you...sigh…"

  at loss of words...he makes confused hand signals with his hands

BELLE  looking at the guys suspiciously... 

"did you guys follow us here?..."

ALLURE 

"how are we supposed to handle this? when did this start?  what happens when this gets messy? and you man...sigh…I can't believe you...how..."

he throws his hands up in defeat.

AUGER  to AEGIS

"Man how could you do this to us..."

AEGIS just shrugs

AUGER in a disappointed tone

"No wonder you have been turning down invitations for us to drink so, you have been spending time with her?"

BELLE smiles contently as she speaks to the Boys

" I don't think you are drunk enough for the answers you seek. plus, you act like you wanted to date him and I snatched him away from you…do you have a crush on my man?"

AUGER

Sigh…scoff "your… your...man…?"

BELLE Looking at AEGIS 

"I thought you told them…so they don't know about our news?"

AUGER ALLURE HEAD

"WHAT NEWS!!?!"

BELLE

"Well, we are…. expecting!"

ALLURE Visibly shook…

"expecting whaaat…who…?  Why...sigh… I mean what do you mean...sigh"

AUGER

"Sigh…that means you guys have been…no no no!"

  BELLE To AUGER 

"are you sure you two aren't an item? you seem to be taking this loss way too personally"

HEAD Looking at AEGIS

"Is…what...congratu.."

BELLE

"Come on morons…I was just out drinking right now is that something I would do if I was expecting…."

Heavy sigh of relief from the boys ALLURE bending holding onto his knees for support…

BELLE

"But we are trying!"

AUGER

"Really?"

scoffs heavily…

ALLURE almost falls 

AEGIS very amused at this point

BELLE Then tiptoes and kissed AEGIS on the cheek

  ALLURE HEAD AUGER in unison...

"NO!!!...."

as they turn to look away so fast.

BELLE

"what's your problem... "

smiling very pleased with herself

ALLURE

"Its like watching your brother and mother make out"

  gags again

BELLE

"Shii… am I old enough to be your mother..."

ALLURE whines

"I mean you are our boss why…why..."

AUGER To AEGIS 

"man are you sure you don't need help.  You don't have to do this...We asked you to get close to her, not…sigh this…I mean how big are your secrets...I feel like you are being held against your will"

BELLE To AUGER

"wait ...Or did you want me for yourself? you are way too concerned"

AUGER Scoffs

"Even you know you are too much woman for me, we both know we couldn't work you are crazy and I…"

BELLE

"And You are…?"

AUGER

"Very handsome…"

BELLE scoffs…

AEGIS smiles AUGER too stunned to speak...HEAD looks on confused...and ALLURE is in discomfort

BELLE

"Our taxi is here...your place or my place? "

she asks AEGIS...he smiles ...the boys are in agony she grabs AEGIS toward the taxi....

AUGER

"she definitely has something on him...huge on him...and I think now I get the Pajama guy issue"

He shivers grossed out

ALLURE sighing

"I honestly feel like its okay...its weird but okay..."

HEAD slightly pleased

"Am actually for it...once AEGIS turns into her weakness...but I highly doubt that will happen he seems way more in love and she just looks like she is having fun...but never say never.."

AUGER in disbelief

"What!... its the CROW she has put us through hell...even the devil would be afraid to date her..."

HEAD

"Then its good he sent a representative... that hot head must have come straight from hell...am rooting for them" he sighs content

ALLURE

"So am I...but if AEGIS gets married before me...that would be weired..do you think her threat for a heart break still stands?...nooo..I think her heart has softened...I will ask AEGIS"

AUGER scoffs

"I feel like am in a madman's town and am the only sane person...however to the people of this mad town I look like the mad one..."sigh of exhaustion escapes his lips.

  AEGIS In a pleased tone  holding onto BELLE'S hands at the back of the taxi

"Your man…I am your man…"

smiling 

BELLE

"I only said that to get in their heads"

AEGIS

"Well it got to my head too…Your man! he sighs in content

She smiles and looks outside the window as the taxi drives through the streets. Suddenly heavy downpour accompanied by thunder and lightning covers the night air

THE TAXI DRIVER

"There was no forecast of rain today…and why does it look like the heavens  are angry at someone"

BELLE Looking out the window

"It surely does look wild…"

BELLE and AEGIS exit the taxi at AEGIS'S apartment she tries to run inside but he holds her back...

BELLE

"What are you doing?"

AEGIS

"I want to enjoy the rain with you..."

BELLE

"AEGIS I know in the movies it looks quite romantic when people kiss in the rain...but no ..."

AEGIS

"I hadn't thought of that but since you have... lets not waste that important thought"

and immediately dives in and kisses her deeply.

The next day BELLE wakes up to find him staring at her again

BELLE

"What is it this time"

AEGIS

"Your man has a surprise for you follow me "

as he walks outside the room

BELLE sighs…

Speaking to herself 

'I'm already starting to regret using that phrase' 

She gets out of bed and follows him

BELLE 

"I hate two things in this life, surprises and people who ignore my need to eat ...let me eat first....

I need energy to be shocked or disappointed "

Thinking she was joking she heads to the kitchen and starts to prepare a snack.

He joins her in the kitchen

BELLE whining

"Can this surprise be avoided?  I have a feeling that I will not like it and you will be disappointed because you put thought and effort into it…you have been so feely nowadays  this will just be another blow...plus if the gift is super good  I will be obligated to also buy you a gift"

  She bites a scone and continues

"just a heads up I will not pretend to like it if I don't so  you can't blame me for my reaction."

AEGIS

"okay …I will try and hide my disappointment"

he then proceeds to remove a blind fold...

BELLE

"a blindfold …am starting to have a very bad feeling about this...."

AEGIS

"ready? "he asks in delight....

BELLE

"No!"

He blindfolds her...kisses her lightly...on the cheek

BELLE 

"am even getting good luck kisses...I bet that gift is hideous"

  He smiles and guides her to the balcony of his house...

BELLE

"by the way you didn't tie the  blind fold properly I can see you know"

he jerks to check she smiles.

He then pauses and pulls the blind fold off she closes her eyes

BELLE

"am scared to look…am not ready…"

AEGIS

"Just look…am sure you will like it...'

She opens her eyes hesitantly opens them wider and wider and smiles very pleased.

In front of her there is an adult size bicycle with training wheels on

she looks at him pleased

AEGIS

"The irony...huh...you can fly  the biggest engine ever made by man but don't know how to ride a bicycle..."

BELLE  sighs in relief as she inspects the bike excitedly

"I thought you were going to propose in front of a crowd…"

He looks at her

AEGIS

"and what if I did...?"

BELLE

"I would have said yes so as not to embarrass you in front of the crowd  then I would have broken up with you immediately....I love the gift. "

She continues as she hops on the bicycle pleased.

He looks on a bit sad and a bit amused...

AEGIS

"Then can I propose to you in private?"

BELLE

"I would out rightly say no..."

She hops down sighs...moves closer to him... whining

"stop that... lets go to the park...teach me to ride a bike..."

He hugs her...

As usual she tries to wiggle away but its hopeless

AEGIS

"Okay, we will go…What happened to you…why are you so heartless.."

BELLE

"And I would have taken the bike with me had I broken up with you. Of all the women you could fall for…wait!... are you dying?"

AEGIS Chuckles,

" am not dying"

after letting her go...he pulls a ring on a necklace and places it on her neck…

She looks at the ring…

"I cant.." and tries to take it off

He grabs her into a hug again

AEGIS

"You don't have to say anything…just keep it with you"

  BELLE

"you should have taken me to eat...probably I would have said yes..."

He chuckles

BELLE In a sober voice

"...you barely know me…Why are you so eager to marry me"

AEGIS

"But I do ..."

She looks at him...

BELLE

"what do you know about me?"

AEGIS in a low tone

"I know you…I know you are crazy…and a psycho  who thrives in awkward situations..."

She tries to pull away again he tightens his grip more and continues

"I know you can take me out  if I mess this up…I know you love to make people uneasy  but deflect with humor when it's reversed on you (sigh)I know you love food more than life…you dance like a goddess...your crust is hard but your core is soft...am trying to appeal to your love for cake here...."

  he continues smiling

"…and I know that I'm in love you…"

BELLE tries to wiggle away He tightens his grip more

AEGIS

"Be honest with me for once Bee...no sneaky comebacks, no deflecting…do you think you would want…to marry me someday…not now just someday even in another lifetime?...."

she sighs and mumbles 

"Maybe..."

He smiles exhales and holds her even more tightly

AEGIS

".... That's enough for me…I will take it…"

He smiles contently

BELLE Muffled under the tight embrace

"Are you trying to smother me to death because I didn't say yes…"

  he chuckles and tightens his embrace.

 

Back in ANCHORA the elements are waiting patiently  by the gateway. BELLE -IGNEOUS arrives through the gateway and is surprised to see all the elements waiting for her by the gateway...FIRE receives her

BELLE-IGNEOUS

"how many of us are you recalling today? "she asks suspiciously. 

The elements just look at her a bit tense.

  BELLE-IGNEOUS

"is something up? "

she is now genuinely concerned

FIRE bows to her pleased to see her but there is a look of worry on his face.

FIRE

"...Not to worry my god ...we are just glad you are back..."

He tries to ease her mind.

IGNEOUS

"Wait! "

she hesitates

"…please tell me you kept your promise?"  She asks quietly .... 

FIRE

"yes, we did my god...we did not recall you as a child... "

IGNEOUS

"Then what is it?"

She looks at the other elements concerned

WATER

"My god..."

  then pauses....as the other elements look on concerned...

IGNEOUS now looks concerned too.

WATER

"there is something that needs ...your urgent attention..."

IGNEOUS

"Okay, is something wrong here at Home?"

  WATER

"No...No!...back on earth"

IGNEOUS

"On earth? "

IGNEOUS now more shocked than concerned…

"Did I not balance the energy on earth? do I need to go back...?" She asked concerned

WATER

"No that's not it...in fact, you did a great job! As you know…you can't remember what  happened on earth…"

IGNEOUS looks more and more concerned.

Just then the gateway rumbles and a figure appears from the gateway. 

Just then AEGIS -EAGRE appears as well...from the Gateway

Water receives him as he adorns his trident tattoo....

IGNEOUS-BELLE

"You!"

AEGIS -EAGRE

"You!?"

They both point at each other...The elements look at each other in surprise...

FIRE in utter disbelief

"what...do you know each other? "

IGNEOUS-BELLE/ AEGIS -EAGRE

"yes!"

IGNEOUS-BELLE

"Is the gateway broken? "

BELLE now seriously concerned

EARTH exhaling heavily

"wait... wait!...how...what...how...do you...know him"

EARTH clearly shook AIR a bit amused at the drama that was unravelling.

IGNEOUS-BELLE

"I recall bits and pieces...like that I....danced with him..."

responds unsure

AEGIS -EAGRE 

"she was my wife..." he responds casually...

The elements gasp

FIRE

"what else do you recall?"

AEGIS -EAGRE

"nothing much…but even now my ...core is illuminating...look...."

The elements look and notice that whenever AEGIS -EAGRE was close to IGNEOUS-BELLE his core illuminated and dimed whenever he moved far…

AEGIS -EAGRE amused moves closer and further away and he cores light up and dim like someone is playing with a light switch

The elements confused...and bemused

WATER sighs exhausted by all the confusion

"We will deal with that latter…for now we have to address a very urgent matter…"

AEGIS -EAGRE Looks at IGNEOUS-BELLE confused...she just shrugs....

WATER

"As I was briefing her...Well, anytime before we send gods to earth we always tell them that once on earth they can meet other gods and even have children who might be other gods…"

He sighs heavily and continues

"to be honest…  no god has ever met and married another god…the way a god's core is designed once on earth...it repels another god's core to ensure that the good energy is dispersed  and not concentrated in one place..."

AEGIS -EAGRE

"so you have been telling us lies hmmm "

IGNEOUS-BELLE

"okay...."  still confused.

WATER sighs  again and continues…

"It has never happened...  because its not designed to happen…also... we have never sent two very powerful gods to earth at the same time...but the energy had almost completely diminished we had to send you  at almost the same time..."

FIRE

"…besides we thought that since  your cores are the strongest...they should have repelled each other even more…they did the opposite and that  explains the surges in the energy…"

IGNEOUS-BELLE

"Surges?"

EARTH

"since you are both war gods ...and powerful ones if I remind you ...you being a great dancer and  him a mighty wrestler each time you danced and he fought especially when you were together there was some sort of an explosion of good energy...as you were being true to your core...as a result, we did not send any other  gods down for a while..."

AEGIS -EAGRE

"…What of about...(he hesitates) when we...you know… fused...I mean its a dance and a wrestle at the same time..."

  Interlacing his fingers

The element scoff

FIRE

"you seem to recall each other very well...anything else?

AEGIS -EAGRE/ IGNEOUS-BELLE

"NO!!"

The confusion deepens for everyone.

WATER

"then What do you recall about each other..."

Throwing his hands in the air in defeat

IGNEOUS-BELLE

"nothing really...I just know him...and my core strongly recognizes his core…that's all"

WATER

"and you? "

AEGIS -EAGRE

"just like her ..." he shrugs

By now a look of exhaustion is displayed on everyone's face. The elements ask the two gods to join them at the convergence center.

Once every one is  seated

IGNEOUS-BELLE

"So explain to us…what's going on"

AIR sighs

"… something happened back on earth ...it has never happened so it's something we never had to worry about...but look at you two...you made it all possible...we have always theorized amongst ourselves what would actually happen...I can assure you our hypotheses were way way off..."

AEGIS-EAGRE

"...tell us already...are you building suspense or something?"

WATER

"Don't you recall anything else?"

BELLE  now concerned

"Did we destroy earth or something"

WATER

"Not yet...you have left something on earth that could ..."

BELLE gasps

"No way!"

FIRE

"Well...yes your offspring..."

AEGIS -EAGRE

"WHAAAAT?!"

FIRE continues

"Yes... he was created by both your cores…as such he inherited both your fire and his water elements… also this is the first, gods cores have never fused before... (sigh) yes the gateway rids you of your godly nature  on your way to earth but your core remains intact.. and no we can't recall him...the gateway only recalls gods it sends down...(a heavy sigh)..so yes...there's  a hybrid war god with its core intact…roaming the earth and we are not sure how to recall him home..."
