Chapter Thirteen: The পরবর্তি File Part four: Server One
Location: Warehouse, Downtown Lexistropolis
Date: Saturday, December 16th 4337
Time: 4:42 P.M.

Lizzy Eventide lay on the ground, motionless. The metallic material, as well as the sound material were gone. All that remained was the corrupted “blank element”, coursing through her. The agent walked over to her, then gave her a large nudge. She didn’t move. He pushed her onto her side, and even slapped her face, but she still didn’t move.

He was convinced. The agent triumphantly picked up the motionless feline, then reached into his coat, and grabbed a pair of un-shaped car-keys. He exited the warehouse, then made his way through the downtown area, until he found a suitable car.

The agent placed his keys in front of the lock, then pressed on a small blue button, on one of the keys. Next, he slowly slid the key into the lock, and as he did, the key slowly formed into the shape of the key-hole. Finally, he opened the door, placed Lizzy in the backseat, and drove off.

As the agent drove through the downtown traffic, he searched the contents for a cellphone, which he eventually found. He quickly sent out a text, while at the same time trying not to crash. He received a response to his text, then made a quick break into the highway.

Eventually, the agent stopped almost five miles from the campsite the others were still battling at, in a large hilly-plain, practically covered in snow. He start to get out of the car, but stopped when he saw Lizzy inside. “I know আপনি can’t hear me, but I guess I’ll just say this for selfish pleasure.” He ব্যক্ত to the dead cat. “You might be “dead”, but we have ways of reawakening you, just in time to use you. It should be interesting.” He exited the car, then walked over to a bench, almost completely covered in snow, and finally… waited.

Back with the others…

“Finally it’s over!” Tess exclaimed, *still in a large amount of pain. *Previous chapter* She and her allies stood over an enormous amount of New Legion agents; their entire fleet of robots and tanks, shattered, and blown to the ground.
“Wasn’t that Cyclist just over there?” Zen asked, pointing behind a New Legion tank.
“I think so.” Siera answered. “I’m guessing he isn’t anymore?”
“Dude gets points for being mysterious.” Zen said. “We should probably leave now.”
“I’d agree usually, but we should find Lizzy first.” Tess noted.
“Well she was going towards the downtown area… *again.” Nick informed. *Chapter six*
“Let’s go!” Siera ordered. “I do not want to be here when the cops প্রদর্শনী u… wait a minute… Chells still hasn’t come back…”
“We’ll drive over to find him, and then go find Lizzy, but we need to HURRY!!!” Zen exclaimed. The others nodded, then quickly started off, in the mini-van. They drove down the hill, up until arriving in a large curve between the road, and a steep hill-side. The separators were run through, and going farther past the destroyed separators was a large trail, in the shape of trapezoid, অথবা in this case… a car.
Nick stopped the mini-van, then him and Zen got out, and started carefully down the trail. “What about us!?” Zen called out.
“Stay there with Tess!” Nick answered. “If we don’t come back soon, go after Lizzy!”

Of course Zen was now at a cross-over. If he stayed where he was, his sister wouldn’t be in any danger of আরো injury, but he wouldn’t be helping his friends, অথবা Lizzy. If he chose to go help Nick and Siera, something could happen to Tess, and he wouldn’t be helping Lizzy. If he left to go find Lizzy, he wouldn’t be helping Nick and Siera, plus he and Tess would be in danger. He did not know what to do, so he waited.

After almost five minutes, they were still not back. “Are আপনি guys okay!?!” Zen yelled out.
“We’re fine!!!” Siera answered. “You need to go find Lizzy!!!”
“But what if-“
“Zen, she might not have the file yet, and the agent might have contacted আরো people, to back him up!!!” Nick explained. “She needs আপনি আরো than we do right now!!!”
“Tess, what do আপনি think we should do?” Zen asked his sister.
“I… *sigh* we should go help Lizzy.” Tess grumbled. After another মিনিট of silence, Zen turned on the car, and started off through the road.

Nick and Siera had come to the end of the trail, where Chells was trying desperately to stop the police car, full of unconscious officers, from falling of a large cliff. “Never thought I’d say this but… help.” Chells asked through his teeth.

Nick and Siera slide downward, and the three of them tried for a good while, to pull the car back up, but they couldn’t সরানো it an inch. After much stress Siera got an idea. “Keep pulling guys!” She ordered

“What are আপনি going to do?” Nick asked.
“Turn on the car from the inside, while we try to keep it steady.” Chells answered.
“That vision thing is handy and creepy.” Nick teased.
“Ergo the reason it will probably wear-off.” Chells replied. Siera slowly opened the damaged car door, and began reaching over for the ignition. She reached farther and farther, till it was almost in her grasp. She slowly turned the ignition on, then when the sound began whirring, it made her jump.

Siera slipped off the cliff, and was now barely holding onto one of the tires of the car. “Siera!” Nick yelled out, jumping to the side, to help his ally, leaving Chells to continue holding up the car, once again দ্বারা himself.

Nick reached over, and grabbed on to Siera’s arm, then began to pull her up. Once she was high enough, Siera pulled out her taser, then shot it at the ignition, hoping to hot-wire the vehicle. It did as such. Still holding on the Nick, Siera pushed on one of the pedals slightly, unable to see which one she was pressing.

“WRONG PEDAL!!!” Chells yelled, noticing that the car had just moved backward a bit, and was now on the verge of falling over the cliff. Siera let go of the pedal quickly, then reached over and pressed the one পরবর্তি to it.
The police vehicle charged forward, off the cliff-side, then back on solid hill-side, running over Chells. “OW!!” Chells exclaimed from underneath the car.

Nick slowly started to pull Siera back up, but began falling himself. He had almost fallen off, with Siera, when Chells quickly grabbed him from behind, and threw him back onto the ground. “Okay, thank আপনি but…” Nick started

“HOW DID আপনি GET OUT FROM UNDER THERE SO QUICKLY!?!?!” Siera exclaimed.
“I’m skinny, and stressed.” Chells explained. “Let’s get the cops out, then get out of here. I think Lizzy might be in trouble.”

Of course Chells was right. Back at the plain, the agent was still waiting. After another two minutes, another car appeared, and out of it came another agent. Not just any agent, however. It was the agent from the *DeanGames chase *Chapter six*.

He approached the other agent, and sat down পরবর্তি to him. “Agent Tyker-three.” The first agent greeted.

“Agent blackoes-seven-three.” The newly arrived agent greeted back. “You have the file?”
“Yes.” Agent Blackoes replied, handing over the file. “I trust আপনি have a phone, with e-mail?”
“Strangely enough… no.” Agent Tyker answered. “Not that it would matter. I was প্রদত্ত strict four-three orders to deliver the original file straight to the leaders themselves.”
“That gives me relief,” Blackoes stated, “but there is still one other thing. Her.” Agent Blackoes pointed to the car he had stolen.
“You actually defeated the Eventide girl?” Tyker asked in astonishment.
“She is completely immobile.” The other agent assured. “I will need আপনি to take her with you. I was being followed দ্বারা her friends, and might still be. We should সরানো her to your car, then depart.” The agents walked over to the car-jacked-car, to সরানো the prisoner.

Little did they know however, that Zen and his sister were now very near, and closing in. “I still don’t think we should have just left them there.” Zen complained.
“Me either but we have to find… LIZZY!!!!!” Tess pointed to the two agents, moving Lizzy between the cars. Zen slammed on the gas, quickly overtaking the kidnapers, but also totaling both the stolen car… and his parents.

Agent Tyker dropped Lizzy to the ground, then ran into his car, and drove off, just as the other agent, and the other cars, went flying. Lizzy lay flat on the ground; still motionless, while Zen and the agent slowly got up, to finish each other off.

Zen *flung out his Taser and fired rapidly at the agent, forgetting that he was out of taser shots. The agent was out of weapons himself, but that didn’t stop him. He raised his fist in the air, causing an energy wave to blow through the area, sending Zen flying backwards.

“How… are you…” Zen groaned, trying to get up again.
“I have my own magical abilities!” The agent answered. He then overlapped his arms, above his head, then flung them to their sides. A সেকেন্ড shockwave zoomed through the air, then from the agent’s body grew out the “blank element”. It changed him so much, that his entire form had become different.

He now looked like a giant warped dragon, instead of an echidna. The blank element was coursing through him, instead of Lizzy, which he used to destroy Zen, as well as most of the car.

Tess, now even আরো injured than before, was sent flying to the side, in front of Lizzy. “Please Lizzy. Come back. Say something.” She pleaded, just as the deformed agent began to send a giant energy beam at the battered chameleon.

As the last of Tess faded away, the motionless cat stopped becoming motionless. She opened her mouth, and spoke one word. “Chronos”.

A giant silver energy beam ripped through the feline, coursing a strange grey energy through her. She raised her hand upward, holding her dagger high into the air, and yelled out “CHRONOS DARICHA!!!”

Hundreds of energy flashes shot out through the air for almost an entire minute. When they ended, a glowing silver cat, wielding a black and silver bladed sword was standing where Lizzy Eventide once did.

“NO!!!!!!!!” The agent yelled sending a blast-wave at the dark-Chronos-cat. Lizzy raised her hand in front of the beam, absorbing it completely. She then charged forward, and stabbed the dragon-agent in the arm, with her melee-weapon.

She held it in place, surging chronos energy into the deformed agent. A giant light then filled the creature, and when it left, he was normal again. She then waved her hand to the side, and a portal took him to a different location. In her conclusion, Daricha-Chronos sent out an atomic blast, going through the entire area.

Once the light faded, Lizzy was herself again. She was standing over an unconscious Zen and Tess, now completely unharmed. The snow was melted completely off almost all of the plain, caused from the energy fluctuations. The car was repaired, the agent was powerlessly laying on the floor, and the entire fleet of defeated legionaries were gone, as well as their weapons.

Lizzy dropped her sword (which was now a dagger again) to the ground, and collapsed on the snowy floor; completely unconscious. She did not expect to wake up where she found herself. Lizzy Zen and Tess all lay inside a jail cell.

“Oh crud.” Lizzy groaned. “Hello? Anybody care to explain why we’re in here?”

A police officer heard Lizzy, and stepped in front of the cell. “You are here because we have some প্রশ্ন for you. Like, why we found আপনি passed out পরবর্তি to a flipped-over car, in the middle of nowhere?”
“What time is… crud… officer Hoffner?” Tess roused.
“Good-morning Tess.” The officer greeted.
“You know each other?” Lizzy asked.
“This is the guy that was helping me with our new *Veterans project.” Tess explained. *”project” indeed. Chapter thirteen part one and two*
“Could আপনি please answer the question?” Hoffner urged.
“Well before we got knocked out,” Lizzy began, “I was waiting in the car, because I didn’t know why আপনি guys were arresting my grandpa for, then… wait a minute. Weren’t আপনি in the police car, that slide down the hill?”
“Slid down the hill?” He asked. “The police vehicle we arrived in didn’t slide down anywhere. We followed আপনি after Tess thought that someone had stolen her car, which is how we later found আপনি in the middle of the field.”
“But how could… The Chronos!” Lizzy exclaimed.
“The what?” The officer asked.
“Never mind.” She replied, turning to her thoughts. “It must have changed the location of all the agents, অথবা stopped the time flow there.” Lizzy thought to herself. She then pondered for a moment, then spoke out, “I was the one in the car, driving away. The reason for this was because some যেভাবে খুশী অগ্রদূত came up, and tried to ram into me. I called Tess and the others, and met up with Zen and Tess later, but I couldn’t reach Chells Nick অথবা Siera. We thought we had হারিয়ে গেছে the guy, then started back, but he found us again. I think he might have been high অথবা something. The car flipped over, onto the field, while he just sped away. পরবর্তি thing we knew, we were waking up here. Right Tess?”
“Uh, right, right.” Tess answered. “Can we go now? Oh and, what time is it again?”
“It’s nine in the morning.” He answered. “You two can go, but your friend here still ran away from her parents, and I would like to hear your answer.”
“Because they’re pieces of-“
“Lizzy!” Tess interrupted.
“We were having a meeting, which we overdid a bit.” Lizzy explained. “My parents don’t usually care what I’m doing, not to mention they don’t usually feed me. I get money from my grandpa, which I use for food. Everyone had left, so I had to walk home. I got there, and they were mad. My mom told me to go to বিছানা without any Dinner, even though they had already eaten all of it, so I ran away.”
“Did আপনি still starve?” The officer asked.
“Almost, but I got some খাবার from a restaurant.” Lizzy answered. “I found a hotel, and slept there for the night. I didn’t go back home, because I was afraid that they would have tried to punish me some আরো when I woke up. Now answer me this question. WHERE IS MY GRANPA?”
“We let him go.” Hoffner answered calmly. “He suggested that we investigate your house a bit more, which we couldn’t without a warrant, which we couldn’t get, but even so he had nothing against him, besides the words of your parents. We scoured through his house, but didn’t find anything but a hole in his basement… a big hole.”
“I’VE BEEN SOBER FOR SIXTEEN YEARS!!!!!” Zen exclaimed, as he finally awoke, completely surprised দ্বারা his location.
“Welcome back Zen.” Lizzy sarcastically greeted.
“Hey Hoffner, there’s a শিয়াল kid here with some file he wants to প্রদর্শনী us.” The intercom sounded.
“Alright.” Hoffner left the room, and back to the main desk.
“… Oh crud” All three of the hybrids groaned.
“WHAT IS CHELLS THINKING!?!?!?!?” Tess exclaimed.
“We can’t do anything about it now.” Zen sighed. “If we try to stop him, they’ll get even আরো suspicious, and think we’re terrorists. They might even trace us back to the school blowing up. THEN THEY’LL FIND THE PHANTIS FILE!!!!!”
“That শিয়াল is dead.” Lizzy growled.
“I’m so thrilled.” Chells ব্যক্ত sarcastically, entering the room. “Before আপনি start ranting at me, listen for about ten সেকেন্ড please?”
“… Fine.” Lizzy growled.
“I didn’t give them the Enerjak file. I don’t even have it. I thought আপনি guys did.” Chells informed.
“Well we don’t… hang on. What did আপনি give them.” Zen asked.
“You’re going to প্রণয় this part.” Chells chuckled. “How would আপনি like to live with your grandfather Lizzy?”
“What?!” Lizzy exclaimed, half confused and half exited.
“The flash-drive I just gave them has footage of some pretty harsh words ব্যক্ত দ্বারা your parents,” Chells informed, ”which I spied on after saving the car from falling off the cliff.”
“What do আপনি mean ‘falling off the cliff’?” Tess asked.
“You don’t… remember?” Chells asked. “Must have been the time-field.”
“How do আপনি know about the time field?” Lizzy asked.
“After Nick Siera and I finally got the car back on the main road, a giant silver field was spreading throughout the area. I assumed it was time, seeing how the element color for time is silver, I watch a lot of sci-fi, I assumed it would erase all of our memories of the event, so I grabbed them, and we jumped back down. The field got close to reaching us, but then it just stopped. That was a lot of energy. Can’t believe it came from one person.”
“How did আপনি know it was me?” Lizzy asked, cautiously.
“One, আপনি just told me,” Chells teased, “Two, I found out months ago, before like anyone. I wasn’t trying too, I just saw আপনি jump through a wall, and come out the same way later, but that’s not important. What is important is I got a court order from Child-protective-Agency-whatever-stuff, and was able to incriminate your parents for being… abusive shall we say, but they didn’t know where আপনি should be put. I suggested আপনি get to সরানো in with your Grandfather. Plus I already paid for moving আপনি out and in, and I know you’re going to say yes.”
“H-h-how did আপনি do all this?!!!” Lizzy exclaimed.
“I’m what আপনি might call a rich kid.” Chells answered.
“Great news, but Chells…” Zen started to say, “where is the file?”
They all stood there for a moment. Even the agent who drove off with the file was consumed দ্বারা the field, so where was it. They pondered for almost four minutes, then it hit them.
“CYCLIST!!!!!!”
“Great!!!” Lizzy yelled angrily.
“What’s wrong with Cyclist again?” Zen asked. “Wasn’t he the one who helped আপনি back at the campsite, and us?”
“I still don’t know about his intentions, except that he says he’ll help us.” Lizzy answered. Just then, Lizzy’s cellphone on the টেবিল পরবর্তি to them started beeping. Chells reached over and handed her it.
“Hello?” Lizzy greeted, cautiously.
“The file is safe.” A voice on the other line informed.
“Why did আপনি take the file Cyclist?!” Lizzy angrily questioned.
“I’ve got to go finish the whatever-paper, can I…” Chells hinted. Lizzy gestured him leave, then turned back to Cyclist.
“Your base is too easy for the Legion to find, and খুঁজুন for, for the file.” Cyclist answered. “Plus they know who all of আপনি are. It’s with me for now. আপনি can keep the Phantis file. That’s the one আপনি should be worried about right now.”
“Why’s that?” Lizzy inquired.
Cyclist chuckled a bit, then answered, “Because it’s you. Anyway, there’s something আপনি should know about one of the agents আপনি encountered. He’s my mole” Right before hanging up.
“COME ON!!!!!!” Lizzy yelled. “Did he really have to just HANG UP?!!? REALLY?!?!”
“Is it just me অথবা are আপনি being hostile to a mysterious bad-boyish guy, in black, with a cute voice!?” Tess teased.
“Still here!” Zen informed, disgusted দ্বারা the comment.
“Funny Tess.” Lizzy answered. “One, he’s probably like thirty অথবা something, and Two he still might be a bad-boy.”
“Whatever.” Tess sighed. “So are আপনি going to take Chells up on his offer?”
“I’m still trying to figure out why he did it?” Lizzy said. “I mean, he doesn’t seem like the positive, giving type.”
“Maybe he finally asked out the girl he was drawing, and she got him nice-like.” Tess supposed.
“CHELLS LIKES A GIRL!!?!?!?” Lizzy exclaimed.
“Well, I saw him drawing one, that দিন আপনি were *sick অথবা something,” Tess informed, *Chapter eleven* “So I assumed he liked her.”
“I’ll take up the offer, that’s for sure,” Lizzy answered, “but I just can’t get দ্বারা how strange that শিয়াল is. He takes pictures with his shades, he appears randomly. We already established that he’s probably not Cyclist, but there’s still something weird about him.”
“Speaking not of which, where’s Nick and Siera?” Zen inquired.
“They probably went home.” Lizzy answered. “If they tell anyone about-“
“They won’t tell.” Tess answered. “Siera would probably forget about it, and end up going designer-crazy over all of it, then try to make a superhero logo অথবা outfit অথবা something for you, and Nick is just to cool to.”
“Oh really…” Zen hinted.
“So আপনি guys don’t remember any of it?” Lizzy asked.
“We remember, well at least I do, all of it up to seeing আপনি drive off. Sorry.” Tess answered.
“I can’t wait to use all that money!” Zen stressfully gleamed.
“I’m pretty sure all of it was just used to bail us out.” Lizzy informed, putting Zen into an angry mood.
“How do আপনি know that?” Tess asked.
“You can go.” Hoffner informed, opening up the cell.
“Does that answer your question?” Lizzy teased.
“STINK IT!!!!” Zen groaned loudly.

The three teenagers got out, and were happily greeted দ্বারা Chells, Siera, Nick, Mr. and Mrs. Solomon, and Davilic Eventide. After some group hugs and chatter, they were greeted দ্বারা a few other familiar faces. Both Eventide parents were being led into the police investigation room, cuffed.

The remainder of that দিন was spent with paper-work, and explaining to parents, then finally ended with both Eventide parents still in custody, and Davilic Eventide preparing Lizzy’s new bedroom. Lizzy ended up having to sleep over at Tess and Zen’s house for the night, while her stuff was moved. They all slept quite soundly that night… all but one.

“I know you’re here!” Lizzy called out in her dream. Out from behind her walked up the aura.
“What is it?” He asked.
“Is there any other way for the legion to get another Enerjak file?” She asked.
“No, but they can find other files, with information they could use to get another being.” He replied.
“What is Enerjak?” Lizzy asked.
“Enerjak is the opposite of Phantis, which is all I can tell আপনি right now.” The aura responded.
“And what are you?” Lizzy asked.
“I am the aura অথবা soul of one of seven past heroes, betrayed and fallen.” The aura explained. “My elemental ability is time-based, and as I *said before (*Chapter ten*) I’m the only one left. I can help আপনি at times, but not always.”
“If you’re still alive, where are you? Are আপনি Cyclist?” She asked.
“No. Cyclist is someone I am aware of, but my identity is different than him.” The aura answered. “I cannot tell আপনি where I am now, but I will when the time comes. আপনি have engulfed yourself in something that is much bigger than two spirits. I hope আপনি do not ignore this as your ancestor Zelda did.”
“Zelda was my ancestor?!” Lizzy exclaimed.
“She was the only other one who almost was able to achieve the Phantis state” He said. “But she attempted it too soon, and was destroyed because of it.”
“So that’s why those *symbols turned red.” Lizzy thought to herself… in her dream… uhhh…. *Chapter ten*
“So what should I call you?” Lizzy asked.
“I can’t tell আপনি my name just yet, but until then আপনি may call me ‘Sever One’.” The spirit answered.

The dream ended soon after, and Lizzy awoke the পরবর্তি দিন to two good friends, pancakes, and a new home. She was settled into her new প্রথমপাতা দ্বারা the end of the day, with the grandfather who would always look out for her.

The teenage-feline was quite satisfied with her room, due to its size, size, furniture, and আরো size. Three days later, she and her team would go back to their mission, with added help from her grandfather. Her parents were sentenced to thirty years in custody, but had their sentence shortened দ্বারা waving around some cash. Siera had finally finished working on the team outfits, which everyone ended up not wearing anyway, but kept just the same, though Lizzy did end up keeping the belt. Nick invented আরো little gadgets for the team to use, while Chells… just stood around. The supposed ally known only as “Cyclist” kept contact with their “agency”, and Lizzy got to continue her adventure.


To Be Continued…

“…and yet he still refuses to tell me who that girl he keeps drawing is!!!” Tess exclaimed, annoyed দ্বারা Chell’s supposed hypocritical advice.
“He’s secretive, so what?!” Zen defended. “He’s probably got a good reason… somehow…”
“Well when আপনি find out what it is, call me!” Tess suggested rhetorically.

The three hybrids began walking back towards their blind friend, when they heard the school’s front doors fling open. The echo from them gave a chilling sound, as did the image coming from them. The foggy and snowy দিন made it look as if there was no one there, but there was.

A female-lynx figure slowly walked into the school. She had a green shirt, a dark-grey jacket, sliding off to the side a bit, long jeans, skull indentations on her tennis-shoes, and a punkish hat. Her পশম was a murky dark brownish-greyish color, while her eyes were simply dark and grey. She had a strange smirk on her face, and both hands in a fist. She slowly entered the hallway, scanning the area with her fixed eyes, until landing them directly at Lizzy’s group.

“Who’s that?” Zen asked.
“Ira.” The lynx girl said, quickly walking up to Zen. “Ira… Black.”
“uh… Hi!” Tess greeted, trying to be friendly. “I’m Tess! This is-“
“I know.” Ira interrupted, turning her face to Lizzy. “The mysterious Lizena Willow… Eventide.”
“Are আপনি naturally this creepy, অথবা is it environmental?” Lizzy asked. Ira seemed to ignore her, then turned to Chells.
“I recognize আপনি from somewhere.” Ira ব্যক্ত to Chells, attempting to turn his head, in hopes of getting a better look. Chells turned his head away. “Cute. Well apparently I have to go find my assigned classes now. It was charming to meet আপনি all.”

They all stood there without motion. That was until… “Who… was that?” Tess questioned. “Wait… That’s… the girl আপনি were drawing!” She pointed at Chells.
“That ‘Ira Black’ not who I drew.” Chells answered.
“OH COME ON!!!!” Tess yelled. “She’s a lynx! She thought আপনি were cute! She recognized you! How can that not be her?!”
“I don’t need অথবা want to prove how she isn’t.” Chells informed. “All আপনি need to know is that she is not, and never will be anyone I would consider liking.” Chells walked away.
“That was… equally weird.” Zen noted.
“Ya think!?” Lizzy teased. “Chells definitely knows that girl. He wouldn’t have been so negative otherwise. I don’t know anything about this Ira Black, but there’s definitely something weird about her.”
