Electrifying

In the dark part of their base, Macabro is sitting. He is thinking about their chances of winning against the Novel Blue Soul Blood. “With that cane made from the Death Tree, we can never win. No one from among us can touch it. It cannot be destroyed by just simple breaking. Those two boys are very skilled too. One of them can see the possess demon and the little demons that it can summon.”

From beneath the floor, a man rises. Macabro sees him and speaks. “Mico.” Macabro said his name before Mico completely materialized. Mico has a U shape face, brown complexion, blue hair, and green eyes. He is wearing a red long cape and red suit with sparkling decoration. He is holding a medium size staff with a claw of a big bird.

Mico speaks to Macabro. “You look so worried, Macabro. Tell me, do you really want to do this mission alone?” Macabro stares at Mico, then, he answers. “With a weapon made from the Death Tree with them, I don’t think there is chance for us to touch them.”

Mico grins and responds. “No. We cannot touch them. It is a complete suicide. Even the demon spirits are no match to that weapon. But you must remember. They can only defeat the possession demon once they touch the caliginous gateway. What if it is unreachable?” Macabro replies. “Once the caliginous gateway is open, we cannot move it anymore from where it is casted. You know that.”

Mico shakes his head and responds. “Yes, I know. We cannot move it. But the elements can.” Macabro raises his right eyebrow and speaks. “Are you telling me that you already have regained your power in a short time?” Mico smiles and responds. “This world has complete set of elements that I needed. Yes. I have regained my powers. But I can only summon two elemental demons every 4 nights. But once Lord Macreo regains his power, he can give me limitless power to summon them.” Macabro grins and stands up. Then, he speaks. “You make the plan Mico. I will be the one to open the caliginous gateway.”

At PCAF, recess time, Joed, Ken, Mateo and Mariana are mingling with each other while eating at the canteen. They are joking around. Ken jokes much about Joed. Joed returns joke to Ken too. Then the basketball varsities come, headed by Tiyow. They see one of their classmates Glenn Gelizon, a half Chinese with Chinese-white complexion and as tall as Joed, who just bought juice drink.

Tiyow starts his crackerjack. He speaks to Glenn. “Hey you psychotic Glenn, are you having fun?” The rest of the varsities laughed. Glenn replies to Tiyow. “Yow! What’s up Owl?” Many of their classmates call Tiyow an owl because he has big eyes.

Jaime, a big fat boy and one of the varsities in the third year gets near Glenn and pushes him. Anthony holds back Jaime and then he pushes him away from Glenn. He speaks. “Hey, Jaime relax. He is just a loser.”

Glenn feels angry and he wants to throw his juice drinks in the face of Jaime, but Mrs. Ernie, the head of the high school department, comes inside the canteen to return the bowl of soup. When the varsities see her, they go away from Glenn and stay by one of the tables. Mrs. Ernie has no idea what was happening.

Santiago, who has been in the canteen, walks by Glenn and speaks. “Hey Glenn! Let’s go. Don’t mind those nuisances. Their basketball reputation is a trash anyway.” Glenn agrees with Santiago and walks out of the canteen.

The four students, Joed, Ken, Mateo and Mariana, saw everything. Ken just controlled his temper. He really wanted to attack Jaime with his fists. But he chose not to. Instead, he brings out a pen. He pointed it to Jaime’s pocket. It is like Ken is detecting something from Jaime’s pocket.

Mrs. Ernie already got out of the canteen and Ms. Gong just came in. Ken sees her and grins as he speaks. “What an opportunity!” Ken presses the button of the pen and then from the pocket of Jaime, his cellular phone rings.

Jaime brings out his phone. But he is surprised and confused when he sees the number calling him, it is his own number. Then, the ringing stops, just the time for Ms. Gong to confiscate his phone. When Ms. Gong gets his phone, Jaime is shocked. He did not expect that Ms. Gong is already there. He begs Ms. Gong. “Ma’am! Please return my phone.” But Ms. Gong just left him. Jaime is so furious but he cannot do anything about it. Ken is suppressing his laughter. Nobody knows that it was he who did that.

Meanwhile, Macabro and Mico appear on the roof top of Robinson’s Place Otis. It is raining and the roof top has accumulated rain water. Macabro chants to open a caliginous gateway. Then after a few seconds, a caliginous gateway comes out from thin air. Then a possession demon comes out from the caliginous gateway. It looks like a big rodent. It is in a spirit form so it cannot be touched.

Suddenly, the door of the roof top opens. A security guard just entered and noticed Macabro and Mico. The security guard cannot see the possession demon. With Macabro’s hypnotic ability, the security guard has been hypnotized. Then, the possession demon enters the security guard’s body.

Macabro grins, then he speaks. “It is time for you to do your work, Mico.”

Mico raises his staff forward and chants. After a few seconds, his eyes spark. Then, two small elemental demons appear. They look like a dragonfly without wings. They are glowing like a small light emitting diode. Then, Mico wave his hands in an upward motion. The rain water rises and engulfs the two element demons. Then, the water that engulfs the element demons form shapes. One forms like a big gorilla and the other forms like a tiger. But they are still water.

Only because of the power of the element demons the shape stays. The element demons have complete control of the water that engulfs them. They can also manipulate all the properties of the water.

Mico commands the water demon that looks like a gorilla. “Get the caliginous gateway and secure it.” The water monster obeys and takes the caliginous gateway. It swallows the caliginous gateway and fused with the elemental demon.

After that, Mico speaks to Macabro. “There Macabro. They won’t be able to get it, now that the water monster is protecting it.” Macabro grins and replies pointing his finger to the possessed security guard. “Good! Now it is time for you to take control.”

In the meantime, inside the classroom, Ken, Joed, Mateo, Santiago, Ken and Mariana mingle with each other. Mariana speaks. “Let’s go to Robinson’s Place Otis tomorrow.” Joed agrees happily because Minnie’s house is near there. “Okay!”

Suddenly, Tiyow interrupted them. He speaks as he points his finger on Glenn. “Hey you Glenn. You think I have forgotten what you’ve told me this morning at the canteen?” Glenn grins and replies. “Huh! I don’t care about your problem Owl.” Tiyow gets annoyed. He replies to Glenn. “You are such a cry baby. You always call your daddy for a simple thing weh weh…”

Glenn feels annoyed too. He responds to Tiyow. “What about you? You wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for your father.” Tiyow laughs when he hears that. “Wahaha… of course.”

Glenn feels embarrassed. He really meant that Tiyow would not be in the school if it was not of the influenced of his father and mother to the administrator because Tiyow is supposed to be a repeater when he was in the lower years.

Tiyow continues his talking. “Glenn, you are such a loser, which is why everyone hates you.” Glenn is pissed. He jumps towards Tiyow and grabs his neck. He punches Tiyow a couple of times but Tiyow recovered and punches back. They roll over the floor.

Ms. Gong, who is the teacher that time, is astonished. She does not know what to do. Ken and the other varsities tried to get in between to stop the two. Ken grabs Glenn by his body, and the other varsities attend to Tiyow. Glenn still feels the anger. He tries to release from Ken’s arms. Ken is shocked. He gets electrified when Glenn touches him. Ken releases Glenn because of that.

Ms. Gong speaks after the two got separated. “What is wrong with the two of you?” Glenn just went out and goes to the comfort room. Tiyow, just take a seat and keeps quiet. The varsities sit beside Tiyow.

Ken follows Glenn in the comfort room. He finds him washing his face. Ken speaks to him. “Are you alright Glenn?” Glenn replies angrily. “No. I think I want to burn that Owl alive.” Ken responds. “Calm down Glenn. Don’t mind him. At least now he knows that he mustn’t mess up with you.” joked Ken.

Glenn smiles, then he speaks. “That owl must thank you that you separated us, or else he would have been fried.” With what Glenn just said, Ken remembers the electricity that he felt when Glenn touched him. But Ken did not mention it to Glenn.

Glenn speaks again. “I want to cool off today. Let us go somewhere after class.” Ken replies. “Okay. Let us go to Robinson’s Place Otis later together with Joed, Santiago, Mateo and Mariana.” Glenn responds. “Okay! Later then.” Then they return to the classroom. Everyone is quiet and none is speaking about what happened.

After the class, Ken, Joed, Glenn, Mateo, Santiago and Mariana go out together. It is no longer raining but some streets are flooded. They just walk going to Robinson’s Place Otis. When they get there, they play in the amusement park first. When they finish playing, they eat at Mc Donalds.

While eating, they talk about what happened inside the classroom with Glenn and Tiyow. Mariana speaks first. “Glenn was very angry and he wrestled Tiyow. Hahaha.” Joed speaks. ”Yes. He is very determined. But I suggest next time to control your temper.” Glenn replies. “He is very annoying. But I think I will take your suggestion.” Santiago adds a joke. “Yes, you should control your temper. Can you imagine if your father knows that incident? He will be furious. He may bring a large rocket launcher to destroy the school.” Everybody laughs and continues eating.

While they are eating, Ken feels that he needs to pee. He speaks. “Guys, I will just go to the comfort room.” Everybody replies. “Okay!” Glenn continues. “We will wait for you here.”

Ken goes to the comport room and urinates. After that, he washes his hands. While washing his hands, one faucet suddenly opens. Ken is startled and speaks. “Whoa… Why is this suddenly opened?”

He closes the faucet and leaves the comfort room. When he is already at the door of the comfort room all faucets just opened. That time, Ken feels that something is not normal. He looks back quickly and he sees that the water is rising. He is surprised. The water forms a tiger and an elemental demon inside commands the water creature to attack Ken.

It jumps towards Ken but Ken quickly grabs the door handle and closes the door. He hears the splash when the water creature hits the door. Ken quickly runs away to return to his classmates.

In the meantime, Joed is begging Mariana to send text message to Minnie to come to Robinson’s Place Otis because her house is just across the street. “Please Mariana, just do me that favor.” Mariana replies to Joed. “I don’t think she would be coming. She told me a while ago that she and her parents would go somewhere.”

Ken comes back to their classmates catching his breath. He calls Joed immediately. Joed stands up and goes to Ken. Confused, he asks Ken. “What is it?” Ken replies as he is still breathing deep. “There is a new demon, a water demon. Something is controlling the water to form something. It attacked me in the comfort room.”

Joed is astonished as he heard it. Then suddenly, they heard someone calls them. “Hey guys! What are you doing here?” They look at the owner of the voice and it came from Minnie. Minnie walks near them.

Joed suddenly feels excited. He is about to greet her but Glenn starts the talking. “Hi Minnie! So, you are here too.” Joed feels like a child who is taken a candy. Minnie replies. “Yes! I and my parents are buying something here.” Santiago speaks too. “Hey Minnie, want to join us here?” Minnie replies. “Sorry. My mom is waiting in the second floor. Okay see you at the school tomorrow.” She waves her hand and bid goodbye.

Joed just stared at Minnie while she is on the escalator. He feels that he is broken because he could not even say hi to her. Santiago yells. “Hey Joed, Ken and Glenn! Why are you still staring at Minnie?”

Joed is confused. He looks at Glenn as he speaks. “What? Glenn is staring at Minnie too?” Then, he turns to Ken. He sees that Ken is also staring at Minnie while walking away. He speaks to Ken. “And you too Ken?”

Ken hits Joed’s shoulder with his hand. Joed reacts. “Awww… Why do you do that?” Ken grabs Joed’s hand and pull him to follow Minnie. Then, he speaks to others. “Hey we will be back. We will just go somewhere.”

Ken runs quickly as he is pulling Joed. Glenn stands up and speaks. “Okay guys, I’ll just follow them.”

While Ken is running together with Joed, Joed cannot help but ask. “What is it Ken?” Ken replies. “The man behind Minnie is being controlled by the little demon.” Joed is shocked. He asks. “Where is it now?”

The man being controlled by the little demon notices that he is being followed. He quickly runs towards another escalator. Joed and Ken follow him. Behind the two is Glenn following. The man reaches a door. He enters and closes it. Joed and Ken get to the door and open it. Then they go in. The man is gone. They stop at the middle. Then they notice that they are on the roof top of the mall.

Suddenly, from behind them, a security guard shouts. “Hey, you are not allowed here.” Joed and Ken look back quickly. Joed apologizes to the security guard. “I am sorry sir. But there is a man who entered here and he is dangerous.”

Ken stops Joed from speaking as Ken speaks. “Joed don’t say sorry. He is being possessed.” Joed looks at Ken and breathe deeply. Then he speaks. “Oh yes. You can see them. I forgot.”

The man laughs. “Hahaha…” Then, he raises his hand upward. Little demons come out from everywhere. They look like a centipede but they jump. Then they unite together to form a much bigger demon centipede. Ken and Joed are shocked.

Ken speaks. “The caliginous gateway must be near here.” Suddenly from behind them a voice is heard. “Yes, you are right.” They quickly turn around and see Macabro and Mico. Mico speaks. “Hello! My name is Mico. It is nice to meet you.”

Mico waves his hand. The two water demons jump in. Joed and Ken get a little scared this time. Then from the door, they heard a voice again. “What the heck are those?” Ken and Joed quickly turn around again to see the owner of the voice. It is Glenn.

Joed shouts at Glenn. “Glenn! Get out at here.” But before Glenn can move, the possessed security guard grabs him and holds his hands tightly. Glenn shouts. “Ahhh…” The security guard is laughing. “Hahaha…”

Joed and Ken really get worried as Ken reacts. “No.” Joed notices the caliginous gateway inside the tummy of the gorilla water monster. He tells that to Ken. “Ken look! The gateway is inside its stomach.” Ken replies. “How are we going to fight them all? Where is Tatang when you need him?” Joed responds. “I will get the caliginous gateway first.”

Joed turns invisible and runs to the gorilla water monster. When he gets near it, he tried to grab it. His hand enters the water that surrounds the caliginous gateway. The elemental demon feels Joed’s presence so it controls the water to make a big wave. Joed has been washed away from the monster and returns to normal. “Ahhh…” shouted Joed as he drops on the floor wet.

Ken tries to help Joed but the tiger water demon attacks him. When it bumps Ken, he feels like he is being pushed by a big water wave. Ken drops on the floor too. The two water demons return to their shapes again.

The scene did not escape Glenn’s eyes. He is amazed on the power of Joed turning invisible. But he gets worried of his two friends. Glenn feels the anger to the two monsters. Suddenly, due to his anger, he did not notice that his hands are sparking.

After a few seconds, the sparks on Glenn’s hands turns into high voltage electricity. Because of the bright sparks, Glenn notices it. Without thinking, he just held the security guard’s hand who grabbed him. The security guard gets electrified.

Because of the electric shock, the security guard staggered and got paralyzed. Ken and Joed saw what Glenn did. Glenn quickly goes to Ken and Joed. Ken and Joed stand up as Glenn comes. Glenn asks. “Are you trying to get that glowing red ball inside that monster?”

Joed and Ken look at each other. Glenn can see the caliginous gateway. Joed and Ken smile with each other. Ken replies to Glenn. “Yes Glenn. We need to destroy these monsters. We need to close that glowing ball inside.” Glenn responds. “But how?”

Macabro interrupted them. He speaks. “Stop your filthy conversation.” Joed replies to Macabro. “You are the one evil here, Macabro.” Macabro gets annoyed and commands the huge centipede demon to attack the three. The centipede demon charges and bumps on the three. Joed, Ken and Glenn are thrown about seven meters. They fall on the floor and feel the pain of the impact.

Ken, even though hurt, he quickly stands up but Mico commands the tiger water demon to attack him. Ken is thrown another three meters as the he was hit by the water monster.

Joed and Glenn stand up too but they are attacked by the centipede demon again. They fall near Ken. The three feel the hurt and the pain but they still manage to stand up.

Mico and Macabro laughs. “Hahaha…” Macabro rushes in front of Ken and grabs his two shoulders. Then, he rises him up and speaks. “Goodbye Novel Blue Soul Blood!”

Ken feels exhausted and weak to counter attack. Glenn, as he sees Macabro holding and rising Ken, gets angry. He does not realize that he raises his right hand forward to Macabro. An electricity charge starts to sparks on his palm. Then it turns into a ball of electricity with a size of a marble and quickly moves to hit Macabro’s eye.

Macabro did not expect it so he is hit by the electricity. He yelled in pain. “Ahhhh…” Then, he suddenly releases Ken.

When Ken is dropped, he manages to sit on his feet. He pushes his body up and made an uppercut to Macabro. Macabro is hit on his chin. He feels much pain this time. He steps back, away from Ken.

Glenn and Joed attend to Ken. Joed asks. “Are you okay Ken?” Ken shouts to Joed. “Tinapa! Do I look like okay?” Joed replies. “Just asking.” Ken stands up and speaks as he grins. “I know how we are going to defeat them now. Hehehe…” He continues to talk. “Glenn, use your power to hit those glowing little dragonfly-like demon inside those water demons.” Then, he talks to Joed. “Joed, use your power and wait for my signal while I am dealing with the huge centipede.”

Glenn responds and concentrates his power on his palms. Joed turns invisible and gets away from Ken and Glenn. Ken runs towards the huge centipede and distracts it. He speaks. “Hey, you big bully, come and get me.”

The huge centipede hears Ken and starts attacking him. Ken runs towards Macabro who is confused and staggered due to the pain that he suffered from Glenn and Ken. When Ken is near Macabro, the tiger water demon jumps to attack him. But Ken anticipated the attack so he dodges it and gets behind Macabro quickly. The huge centipede, which is following him, jumps to attack Ken. The centipede has no control of its attack because it is big. It hits Macabro instead of Ken. Macabro is thrown seven meters away. Mico is astonished.

Glenn is finish charging with the electric balls. He raises his hands forward, one pointing to the tiger water demon and the other to the gorilla water demon. Then after a second, he releases them. They hit the two water demons.

Since water is conductor, the electricity flows through the elemental demons. When the electricity hits the two elemental demons, they explode. The water that surrounds them splashes away. Then the caliginous gateway is left.

Time for Joed to reveal himself then he grabs the caliginous gateway. The gateway closes and the bright light hits the staggered security guard. The possession demon comes out. Glenn is surprised of what he sees. “Whoaw…”

With the closing of the caliginous gateway, the centipede demon disappeared like a smoke. Ken shouts to Glenn. “Glenn! Destroy the stone on the forehead of the demon.” Glenn, as he heard Ken, he charges his electricity again. After a few seconds, he raises his hand towards the possess demon. But Joed is already there and smashes the stone on the forehead of the possession demon, which is already corporeal, with the brick that he got from somewhere around the roof top. The possession demon disappears like a smoke in the air.

Joed speaks and boasts to Glenn. “You are too slow.” Glenn puts down his hand and responds. “Maybe you wanted to be electrified?” Joed laughs and replies. “That was just a joke. Hahaha…”

Meanwhile, Macabro feels so much pain because of everything that happened. He tries to get up but Ken is already there, standing in front of him and very angry. He is holding his fists. Suddenly, the water around engulfs Macabro. Then, it moves him to Mico. Mico, disappointed, speaks. “I didn’t expect your attacks Novel Blue Soul Blood. This is not the end. This is only the beginning. We shall meet again.” Suddenly a whirlwind just appeared and engulfs Mico and Macabro. Then, they disappear and the whirlwind too.

Joed and Glenn join Ken. Joed speaks. “Thank you, Glenn! We owe you are life.” Ken speaks after Joed. “Yeah. He (Joed) owes you his life. Hahaha… Joke only! Honestly, thank you!” Glenn smiles and brags “Yah. Without me, you wouldn’t defeat those monsters.” Ken makes a Mr. Bean smile and speaks. “Weh? Hahaha…” Then Ken raises forward his fist. The two do the same and they do their friendship sign.

While going back to Mateo, Santiago and Mariana, Joed and Ken tell Glenn to keep that as a secret. Glenn agrees. Joed continues speaking to Glenn. “I will tell you everything you need to know later.”

Joed, Ken and Glenn reach Mc Donalds and their friends are still there. They sigh when they get there. Mateo asks. “Where have you been? We’ve been waiting for you for about an hour here.” Santiago notices that Ken and Joed are very wet. He speaks “Have the two of you gone to the shower? You are so wet.” Glenn replies to Santiago. “They flushed themselves in the comfort room. Hahaha…”

Ken responds to Glenn. He speaks nasally imitating what Glenn said. “Nhey mflushed nhemselmes in nhe NR (They flushed themselves in the CR.)” Joed replies too. “Ngongi (speaking nose less) award” Everybody laughs except Mateo. He tells everyone “Okay let’s go home. We still have assignments.” as he stands and walks away. Everyone looks at each other and laughs. “Hahaha…” Then they follow Mateo.

The next day, in the classroom, Tiyow goes near Glenn. He wants to do a high five sign to him as he speaks. “Hey what’s up Glenn?” Glenn looks at Tiyow’s face. He notices that Tiyow wants to set aside what happened to the two of them yesterday. He gives his hand and does the thing. They both smile and Tiyow leaves. Ken and Joed talk to him silently. Joed speaks “I thought you were going to electrify him. Hahaha…” Ken speaks next. “I thought you would shoot him with your balls. Hahaha…” But Ken is implying different balls.
