chapter four – Filter –

  Hawk stood his ground as the Bck Halo floated in front of him.The monsters came in rge numbers, slowly surrounding Hawk.The Bck Halo flew around excitedly as it waited for Hawk to release his true power again.Ty was outcold id out behind Hawk.Hawk had his back to this huge boulder, He was stuck between a rock and a hard pce.

  Earlier, when he was walking with Ty. Everything was calm and quiet, with the heat being the only problem.Hawk wasn't tired at all, and he hadn't felt tired since the day he got his abilities.They both walked for hours on end as they got to this small dam.Ty walked up to the water and she released her ability.Her hair glowed white as an aura with the same colour covered her body.She sighed as electricity radiated off of her body as she charged up a energy ball in her hand.She shot the ball into the dam, the water erupted as the ball exploded when it made contact with something under the water.A huge fish like monster floated to the surface, dead.

  Ty:Let's keep moving.

  Hawk:Aren't we going to drink ?

  Ty:That thing poisons the water and waits for its prey to drink so it can embush them when it has taken effect.

  Hawk:But the water looks so clean.

  Hawk and Ty kept walking onward.

  Back in our universe on earth.Eagle was sitted in the living room with Sparrow pying a video.Sparrow was actually stressed with his fighter in the game with a smidge of health left.Eagle decided to go all out for his attack to finish off Sparrow.Proving why he's champion online and offline worldwide, Sparrow made perfectly timed parries to Eagles attacks and hit Eagle with his finishing move at the end to win the game.Eagle stared at the screen in disbelief at what just happened while Sparrow screamed excitedly beside him.

  Eagle:No ! no ! i want a rematch !

  Eagle said firmly, unable to accept his defeat.

  Sparrow:Okay, looking to get schooled again, old man.

  Sparrow said excitedly while he ughed.Eagle bonked Sparrow on the head.Sparrow rubbed his head in pain.

  Sparrow:Sorry, i mean Grandpa.

  Eagle:Good boy, now pick your fighters.

  Sparrow:It's getting pretty te. When is Hawk coming back ?

  Eagle:When that little girl came over again today, she said Hawk would be sleeping over at her pce.

  Eagle responded dismissively, too focused on the game to actually look at Sparrow while talking to him.

  Sparrow:Oh ! so, don't you think that's wrong ? a guy his age and a girl her age, together in one room ?

  Eagle:What do you know about that stuff, boy !?

  Eagle now had his eyes sharply fixed on a scared Sparrow.

  Sparrow:Well, we learn these kinds of stuff at school.Plus, movies aren't exactly PG a lot nowadays.That's why Hawk and I don't watch a lot of movies. We watch anime.

  Eagle:Then, where did you get off this idea that he'd do anything like that with that girl ?

  Sparrow:Cause that's his girlfriend.

  Sparrow responded sarcastically.Eagle realized what was going on and what the kid was implying.

  Eagle:Eh, whatever.He'd be a man someday anyway.

  Sparrow stared dumbfounded at his grandfather's reaction to all this.Eagle hurried Sparrow to choose his fighters so they could continue with the game.Sparrow just sighed and did as his grandfather wanted.Again, Sparrow won but this time with ease.Again, Eagle challenged him only to get defeated again.He did this several times through out the night from 22:27 till 00:11am in the morning.

  Hawk and Ty had reached the pce she had seen the bck orb.The area had stone pilrs that stood tall as the tallest skyscrappers in our world as far as thee eye could see.Ty teleported her and Hawk to the top of one of the pilrs.Hawk hurried to hold Ty close, surprising her.Ty giggled at Hawk.

  Ty:Heights still get you,huh.

  Hawk:No kidding.I mean, do you even see how high up we are ?

  Ty:I do, but you have super strength, dude.You'll definitely be okay.

  Hawk:I'm... i'm still getting used to that side of life now.I haven't had long to practice using them.

  Ty:Well, i dropped us here so we could chill and rest for the night.

  Hawk:What do you mean night ? it's hot as fuck and the sun is still out... well, suns in our case.

  Ty:Wait for it.

  Hawk:For what ?

  Both suns suddenly set, and in an instant, the sky was dark.Hawk was shocked as the night sky was filled with beautiful stars shining around two beautiful full moons.Other pnets were visible to see like a painting on a canvis.Four pnets were all lifeless as they all had huge red marks through out them, glowing each time following a rythm like a beating heart.Hawk was amazed by the sight.Ty fixed Hawk's arms around her as Hawk noticed her doing that.

  Ty:I can't believe we're actually doing this.We're just kids, but... i know if we don't pull this off, something bad is going to happen back home.

  Hawk:What do you mean ?

  Ty pulled away from Hawk, and she took a mini metal teddy bear out of her pocket.She pressed its belly, and she threw it on the ground.The bear turned into small little nenobots and they stacked attop each other to form the frame of a tant.Ty took out another mini metal teddy bear out of her pocket and this time when she pressed it, it unfolded itself into a rge cover for the top of the tent.Ty installed it as Hawk stood on the side perplexed, watching his girl work.She really knew what she was doing, and before long, everything was set up.The tent had one rge zip up bed in it and warm bottles next to it.It also had fire wood.Hawk and Ty sat outside the tent in front of a small fire as they roasted meat over the fmes.

  Hawk:So, how many times have you come here ?

  Ty giggled softly. She knew Hawk would notice that about her.

  Ty:Ever since Terry died.

  It went silent for a second.

  Hawk:Why come here ? were you looking to kill this thing by yourself ?

  Ty:... Actually, i was venting my anger out here.I ended up in this pce while looking for some more monster to butcher.

  Hawk:So, you just came to let out a little anger,huh.

  Ty:See, with my ability, my strength automatically matches my apponent in battle, and then from there, it will grow limitlessly.I don't know if it works the same for you, but i heal fast from critical injuries and i can shoot out my energy in a concentrated attack.I can do all this... but i wasn't able to be there for him.I could've prevented the monsters attack if i had stayed with you guys a little bit longer.

  Hawk:... There's a lot we wish we could've done differently on that day.If we take this thing out, no one else will have to lose anybody else they love.

  Ty:... right.

  Both Ty and Hawk thought of a way to make the conversation less gloomy now.

  Ty:Did you ever think we'd make it this far ?

  Hawk:You mean here ? Well, no.I didn't think we would actually...

  Ty giggled at Hawk while Hawk looked her, confused.

  Ty:I mean us, silly.When we had just started dating, you were sorta anxious that we'd break up or something.

  Hawk:Oh... uh...

  Ty just bursted out with ughter.Hawk didn't know how to respond to what she just said.It had caught him off guard and had him a little bit flustered.He rembered how much he hated himself for being unworthy for Ty and he hated himself for feeling that way.

  Ty:What was all that about ?

  Hawk gave a weak giggle as he thought of a way to respond to Ty.

  Hawk:... I guess i was just scared to lose you.

  Ty looked at Hawk with a sincere smile on her face.

  Ty:I'm so gd i chose you, dude !

  Ty gave Hawk a tight hug as they both ughed at her pyful remark.

  Hawk:... I'm gd i chose you, too.

  Ty pced her stick to the side before she stood up.She went inside the tent and came back with her phone.

  Hawk:Why did you go and get that ?

  Ty:I wanna py my games, duh.

  Hawk giggled at Ty's response while she boooted up her game.Hawk ate his meat till he finished as Ty pyed her games.Later, the fire was off, and both Ty and Hawk were both in the tent.They were in the bed and cuddled up together.Ty was ughing while Hawk just looked at her, annoyed.

  Ty:Bae, i mean it. Don't get any funny ideas, okay ? we're just going to sleep.

  Hawk:But i didn't even bring that topic up. You did.I wasn't even thinking about that till you mentioned it.

  Ty:After what you suggested under that bridge, i don't trust that.

  Ty said with a teasing tone and cute little giggle.hawk sighed, giving up.

  Hawk:Whatever, good night.

  Hawk said as he giggled at his girl's craziness.

  Ty:I love you.

  Hawk:I love you, too.

  Leonel walked up to Henry in the courtyard as Henry stood smoking a ciggar.As soon as he saw Leonel, he walked up to him with a big smile on his face.Leonel was excited and happy as his body and movement showed it.He walked with a sense of pride and joy in himself.He had finally succeeded after a decade of failing and sacrifices, his wish would finally be fulfilled.

  Henry:You look happy today. Did something big happen ?

  Leonel:The boy was a match.He can make our wish come true, Henry.

  Henry looked at Leonel perplexed.After the information was registered in his brain, he was excited for Leonel.He took his hand and shook vigerously with a joyful expression on his face.

  Henry:That is great news ! that means all of that hard work wasn't in vain.We'll both get what we've desired.

  Leonel:We still have a problem.The boy wants to see his sister, i could not find her in her room.

  Henry:The young miss said she would be sleeping at a friends house over the weekend.She did tell me to inform you that she does not want to be disturbed.

  Leonel giggled to himself.

  Leonel:The balls on that girl.Reminds me so much of her mother.

  Henry sighed, remembering the sight of Leonel in shambles holding his dead wife in his arms, looking for help.

  Henry:Is it not ironic ? You are always telling me to inform her not to disturb you while you work.

  Leonel:Fine then, regardless.She is not that important to my goals.We only need her to keep Ben in check.

  Henry:Then, we need not look for her ?

  Leonel:Leave her be.

  Henry:As you wish.

  Two suns were shining in the clear sky.The Bck orb floated around the tall pilrs, excitedly.

  Hawk:So, that's the thing we're looking to destroy ? i don't know why you say that thing is scary when it's so goofy looking. It's just a ball of dark energy.

  Hawk looked at Ty beside him.He was perplexed to see her shaken and sweating as she stared at that orb with fear written in her eyes.

  Hawk:Hey. Bae !

  Hawk nudged Ty, breaking her out of her thoughts.Ty tried to py off her fear.

  Ty:It does look silly,huh ?

  Ty asked as she giggled.

  Hawk:Is this thing seriously that strong ?

  Ty giggled to herself, and she sighed afterward.

  Ty:So, you noticed.

  Hawk:The look of fear in your face ? yeah, i know you by now.

  Ty giggled again.Ty grabbed Hawk by his colr, and she kissed him.

  Ty:Now, i kinda wish we'd done it.

  Ty said, jokingly as she giggled nervously.

  Ty:The energy coming off of that thing is crazy intense.We're like a dam to an ocean compared to it.

  Hawk:Us, beating that thing seems to be more and more of a fantasy the more we talk about how powerful it is.

  Ty:At best, all we could hope to do is to injure it badly or to capture it in something it won't be able to break out of.

  Hawk:That damn thing creates monsters that are strong enough to destroy pnets.Do you really think we have a chance at injuring or capturing that thing ?

  Ty:Injuring part, probably not, but i'm sure we can capture it, though.We just have to weaken it enough for it to be captured.Leonel built this thing to contain me if my powers ever got out of control, so we'll use it to hold this thing.

  Hawk:So, you actually did have a pn before bringing us here.

  Ty:Well, duh.

  Hawk focused, he looked at the Bck orb floating around the area.It wasn't paying any attention to its environment. The bck orb released a pulse of energy throughout the whole pnet.Ty felt the energy pass her as it sent chills down her spine.Ty was shocked as Hawk fell to his knees as he groaned in pain.Ty quickly checked up on Hawk.

  Bck Halo:You humans are such a pest.

  Ty's heart sank, with the fear and horror written all over her face as the Bck orb appeared next to her out of nowhere.The Bck orb charged up dark electricity as it released a bst at Ty, she pushed Hawk out of the way.The area they were in exploded, covering the whole pce in a thick ter of dust and smoke.The Bck orb ughed as it floated around excitedly.As the smoke cleared, Ty stood on the other side of the pilrs.Ty's left arm was injured and bloodied as she held it in pain, holding back tears.

  Bck Halo:You are pretty strong for surviving that.

  Ty:You're a devil for making us go through what you have.

  The Bck orb chuckled at Ty as she released her ability.Ty's arm healed itself in an instant as she charged forward, dashing at the Bck orb.The Bck orb used a shadow arm to parry Ty's flurry of attacks.The ground broke apart and cracked as the Bck orb parried each strike from Ty.Ty released more of her energy as she charged up a ball of energy on her hand.The Bck orb dissappeared and reappeared in front of her as it grabbed her ball with its shadow hand, the ball ignited.Ty opened her eyes wide in shock.Ty's energy ball exploded as the ground in the area erupted throwing, rocks,dust and smoke up in the air.Ty's painful and guttwrenching screams could be heard throughout the nd.Ty id on the ground in a pool of her own blood with her arms and right leg blown off as she cried out in pain.Her limbs started healing and regrowing.The Bck orb floated to her slowly as it chuckled, the orb had a small crack on it.

  Bck Halo:Is that everything you have to offer me ?

  The crack on the Bck orb disappeared almost instantly after saying that statement.Ty stood back up as she looked around for hawk.She hoped he was safe through all of that.Cause she had set the machine.

  Ty:No... this is!

  A small metal teddy bear glowed under the Bck orb.The Bck orb tried to move away as it was caught in a beam released by the bear.The Bck orb was sucked into the teddy bear.Ty, was shocked her pn actually worked.She fell to her knees, still in disbelief.

  Ty:I did it... i actually pulled it off !

  Ty looked around for Hawk, excited as she couldn't contain herself.She stood back up, and as she did, a shadow hand came from her shadow and pierced her gutt.Ty was shocked by the sudden attack, she coughed up blood as she fell back to her knees.She looked at the teddy bear on the ground in horror as it broke apart.Ty saw Hawk at the back out of range of their battle, still on the ground in pain.She smiled as she looked down, Ty sighed as she resigned herself to her fate.The Bck orb reappeared.As soon as Ty saw it, she released all of her energy pnning to take it out in one bst.A energy field appeared around Hawk as he id on the ground unconscious.The Bck orb was pushed back by the sudden energy radiating off of Ty as the ground exploded sending gusts of strong wind and shockwaves around the ndscape.The pilrs broke apart and tumbled over.Ty sighed as the Bck orb's shadow broke apart.Ty stood back up as the hole in her gutt healed itself instantly.

  Ty:... I love you... you idiot.

  Ty released the super charge of her energy as a huge explosion covered the whole 500 meter range of the pilrs.The whole area was destroyed instantly as if lightning had struck down.The whole area had a huge gaping hole and a scar that will forever mark the st attempt humans would have at doing anything to harm the Bck orb.The whole area was still in disarray, destruction and rubble was all that could be seen in the pce that once had tall pilrs as far as the eye could see.

  Bck Halo:... That attack could have destroyed this pnet, imbecile ! You are lucky i reduced the power of your bst, or you would be dead as well.

  The Bck orb said as it chuckled.

  Bck orb flew out of the smoke without a scratch on it.Ty id on the ground unconscious as the Bck orb floated closer and closer to her.The Bck orb charged up electricity around itself.It shot a lightning attack at Ty, but out of nowhere the attack was spped to the side.The attack hit boulders a few feet away, and in an instant the whole area exploded again as it caused the same big explosion as Ty's final attack, covering the area in an even more thicker yer of smoke.As further destruction could be seen throughout the ndscape.The pce had become a wastend in a couple of minutes.

  Hawk:... I'm gd you didn't die on him.

  Hawk pced Ty under the shadow of a boulder that fell off of a pilr.Hawk stood back as he turned around, focusing his attention back on the Bck Halo.A man with blood red iris's stood beside Hawk with both their eyes glowing red.The man had red long hair and he wore an all bck outfit, his whole body looked like it was made up of smoke that had a physical human form.

  ???:Let's get develish.

  Hawk released his energy as a blood-red aura covered his body.The Bck orb readied itself for Hawk's attack.Hawk sighed as steam radiated out of his body.He exploded forward at lightspeeds as everything around him seemed to slowdown.The Bck orb covered itself in a barrier as Hawk smmed his fist against it.The barrier cracked as Hawk pushed harder breaking it all together.

  ???:KILL IT ! KILL IT !!!

  The devil with Hawk shouted those words as Hawk charged up another punch as he went pushed forward.Hawk infused his fist with all of infinate amounts of energy.The Bck orb created several shadow hands to block Hawk's punch.Hawk switched tactics and reappeared the Bck orb in an instant.He hit the Bck orb clean on its surface.The force passed into and through the orb, in a concentrated bst.It shot up to the sky and past the clouds into space.A rge boom rang in the sky that could be heard on the ground below.The Bck orb broke apart into pieces as it turned into ashes disappearing.

  ???:NO ! NO ! NOOOOO !

  Hawk fell to the ground after that as the red energy around him desipated. Hawk coughed up blood as he tried to catch his breath.

  ???:... Don't break yet. It's still too early for me to be released into this world... boy.

  Hawk struggled to get back up on his feet as he looked around for Ty.He saw her lying beside a boulder.He walked up to her still out of breath.

  Bck Halo:... So, you are one of their kind, boy ? then, it was my mistake leaving you alive for this long.

  Hawk was shaken hearing that voice.He looked around, but the Bck orb was nowhere to be seen.Hawk was shocked to see monsters appear out of the shadows.30 plus monsters stood in front of Hawk as the Bck orb reappeared in front of Hawk.

  Hawk stood his ground as the Bck Halo floated in front of him.The monsters came in rge numbers, slowly surrounding Hawk.The Bck Halo flew around excitedly as it waited for Hawk to release his true power again.Ty was outcold id out behind Hawk.Hawk had his back to this huge boulder, He was stuck between a rock and a hard pce.
