Chapter 6: "If you can make here, you can make anyway." by RJ The temperature over New York City was a brisk 72 degrees. A man sitting outside on one of the tables provided by the small coffee shop was drinking a cup of coffee. Two waitresses were engage in a conversation. "Just look at that guy." "Is he some kind of movie actor? Just look at that getup he is wearing." I know, what is up with that black cape and that funky cane? You would think it’s Halloween." "Well what ever he’s in, he is hot as hell. Just look at those blue eyes." I know, he’s gorgeous. Maybe their filming a movie here, that would explain the way he looks. "That scar looks so real, he must of been in the makeup chair for the whole morning ." "Well let me go see if he wants anything else." "Anything else, he has tried every single type of coffee we have!" "At least the tip should be good." The waitress walks over to him. "Would you like anything else sir?" "Ahh, yes." He said in a deep voice, "How about another cup ofthis...like this. What is it again?" He asked. "A café latte." "Yes, one more." "All right, be right back sir." She said with a smile and walked back into the café. "Silly human, so naïve, yet so interesting these humans are. I can’t wait till I take over this world after I have conquered my own." "Interesting indeed, my love." Said a young women walking upto him. "Just look at all the cool stuff I got." She said holding up five shopping bags. "Uh, what is Victoria’s Secret?" She went over and kissed him on the lips and said, "Ahh that I can show later tonight." She said as she smiled sweetly. "Here have a seat, you must try this drink they call a café’ latte." "No thank you darling, but how much longer are we staying in this city?" "We can’t leave until Xerox, Cannon, Epson, or HP returns from scouting the designated areas. Once they locate the girl and report back, then we can take her and complete our plans. "Okay, what is the plan again?" "Must I explain this again Sparka?" he said in a shrill voice. "I’m sorry Vigor, but I don’t understand why need the scouters to find her first and then you go to her." "All right, this the last time I’ll explain it to you. See the pretty staff." He said in a condensing voice showing her a long gold staff with a green-blue orb, resting on the top. "Yes." She said rolling her eyes. "Now where getting somewhere! I knew your intelligence went beyond a level one apprentice. Okay, this pretty little object belong to King Jove, Kayko’s father. He was a very powerful guy, and I stress WAS." He said as he grinned evilly. "The Staff of Trigevia, the one I hold in front of you had the power to control time and space, a power passed down through rulers of the past. "But how does it have that power." She interrupted. "Let me Finish! One very powerful telephath, ¹Pacean a great King, one of the firsts. Had the power to move from different dimensions and times. He was great warrior, a brilliant scholar and about 500 years old." "I’ve heard of him, but I only thought he was a myth." "Stop interrupting! Anyway, back to the story. This was a great power and King Pacean didn’t want to see it die with him. So he prayed to the *²* living force of Gaea to pass his immense power to future rulers. However, the great oracle Dodona predicted that if this power wasn’t contained and controlled it would be the destruction of *³*Gaea and all the lives intertwined with it. King Pacean knew this could be a dangerous power if it ever fell into the wrong hands. Gaea answered his prayer by forging the Staff from the sacred land of Trigevia,where the *4* goddess Gaea reigns. The goddess removed the King’s power and place it within a jewel. From the jewel she separated the it into three major parts, the Orb having the greatest power was placed upon a staff. Which enables us to travel though time and space. Then the Head-Piece having the power to pick the destination, and finally the Ring that allows you to open the "door" of time. Since Pacean no longer had his power to control time he began to age quickly and on his death bed he passed the *5*Triune Power to the heir of the throne. Fast forward two thousand years and we come to my father, King Sinew, defeating King Jove and his army. After absorbing the Royalty's power and leaving them to die. He took the two pieces of the Triune power, the Staff and the Ring, but the Head Piece wasn’t there. Before Jove died my father forced him to tell him were it was. Jove just smiled and said "Beyond the reach of this dimension." Those were the last spoken words of Jove. My father was furious, how couldn't he have the Triune power without the third piece. My father, however, could never understand that you could use the staff and ring without the Head piece. He went to the oracle Janja to force her to tell him where the Head Piece was, when threatening Janja’s family she revealed that one can use the Ring and the Staff, but can only travel back and forth from the last known dimension. Kayko is the reason my father never completed his dream of conquering Gaea and other worlds. Me, being his heir has the right to finish what he started and take revenge for his death. Now, all I need is the Head piece to conquer millions of worlds not only this one and ours. I have to power to do so, since dear o'l dad past it on to me before he died." "Okay, but why do you need those shaping shifting morons to find her first and then you go to her?" "Oh didn’t I mention that?" "Umm No, you didn’t." she said with a smart ass remark. He glared at her and continued, "The reason why I need those so called morons is because they can search unnoticed by this race of people and especially by her." "Okay one half the question answered, how about the other half now?" "That is a simple answer. I brought Benald to the oracle and he used his power to enter her mind, reveling that a forth piece was made of Pacean’s power, called the Finder stone. If by some chance the three pieces were separated, this small gemstone, could be used to locate them. The only flaw is that it doesn’t find the exact location, but within a 500 mile radius. The last known location was somewhere near the orient." "I’m so glad that Jove’s little brother was so jealous that he betrayed him for us." "Yes a pitiful little man, but his power is a great use to us." "Here you go sir." The waitress said placing his café latté before him. "Ahh very good, you may go now." He said with a wave a his hand. The waitress just looked at him and walked away. "Well...." "Caaaaaawwwwwwwwwwww!" "It looks like one of shifters has returned." Vigor raised his arm and the hawk landed on it. "Sire, I have found the girl." "Very good, out with then." "Yes do tell." Sparka said with a grin. "She is in Japan, caaww, a small town called Nerima." "Good, good. Let’s us go. I’ll have Benald contact the other shifters to meet us at a rendezvous point " Vigor and Sparka both stood up. He pulled a couple silver coins from a pouch on his belt and throw them on the table. "Are we ready?" "Hold on one sec, let me change into human form, flying through those dimension doorways are tough." Said the hawk. "All right Xerox, but hurry it up." With that, the hawk flapped his wings and raised himself in the air. A yellow glow encased him and stared to grow. The talons stared to thicken and extend towards the ground. The claws formed into feet, the once beautiful wings of the hawk now formed into lanky arms. The feathers reduced into fingers. The pointed beak formed his nose, black eyes took form into green human eyes. he transformation complete, stood a tale skinny man with dark brown hair. "Okay boss let’s go." Vigor turned around, held the Staff of Trigevia in his right hand, and the Ring on the same hand, held out in front of him. With a quick tap on the ground and the spoken words "With the power of Gaea, open!" the Staff and Ring began to glow. The wind began to pick up. Vigor’s cape flowed while a green-blue glow formed in the air in front of the three extrodinaries. It glowed brightly and separated the air right in front of the little coffee shop sat. It always reminded Sparka of someone pushing aside curtains. When the hole was large enough for them. Vigor motioned to Sparka to step through and then Xerox, after they walk passed him into the void he followed. When the last piece of his cape was through the hole closed and left everything the way it was a few minutes ago. "What the fuck was that?" said one of the waitresses. "I have no clue?" the other replied.
