EXTRA I – The “mysterious” ways

26/12/2020…

I toss the stick in my hand, after having devoured the delicious ice cream around it.

Yes… Saturn Organisation had started the massacre. I'm sure some city behind me is destroyed right now. And yes, it IS petty of me to just be sitting here, having ice cream. And would the stick going into the ocean be bad? I wouldn't know. It is wood… right?

I couldn't care much for them. I'm sure humans, dragons, and whatever other creatures were on this wretched planet… could definitely take care of things. They had after all evolved enough. Enough to be plotting to destroy each other in the name of some-

"Poseidon," I hear, sending me chills down my body.

It was her. Morph… she must be in trouble, identifying that tone.

I sigh and get up from the edge of the land.

"Tacy, my dear… I think it is time I-" I feel real-chilly wind hit my body. "-you know you won't be getting another help from me. Sorry. But… this WILL be a round trip, I had ordered some food, so need to go back, you know."

Silence again. She was quite talkative when I first heard her but… after I had helped her… she had reasonably gotten silent. Yet… I couldn't interfere. Even when I knew what was at stake.

I start walking, as something lifts off into the air, breaking the snowy-barrier around the place.

That one must be Morpheus, but I had no intention of meeting him right now. Even this person I had to meet now was too much interfering from my side but… I could feel Morph's pain.

I go through the gate and find a guy, where I had expected him to be.

Dragon-skin armour, making him look like some Japanese ninja. A sword around his waist, and on the other side… a leash.

I move towards him, seemingly careless about such a guy, and he grabs his leash and whips at me, turning towards me. The whip stops in between us, as the identical whip in my hand grabs it.

"What?" Phobetor asks, looking at how I looked exactly like him.

I pull the leash, and knock him out.

"You'll think it is just a dream. So no worries for me. A lot of dreams going by, even to the 'nightmare causing dragon'," I say, chuckling.

I pick out a little disc-shaped thing from the machine which Phobetor was overlooking.

With Morpheus having left, and Phobetor having been knocked out, it'd be just a walk through the snow… with these zombie-like people walking around of course. They let me be, thinking I'm Phobetor. Didn't have enough consciousness in them anyway.

As I quickly walk the few kilometres of distance… I finally reach the edge of the dome, where I could see shadows at the other side, and a barricade.

I could feel Morph there, past the barrier. And was sure of other unnecessary presences which I could see.

I run forward, holding the whip in one hand and the sword in another. As I see the first set of officers, I whip at them, throwing them to the ground. The others fire, but I slash the sword at their guns, destroying some, and flicking the others.

After whipping at them and making them go unconscious with one slash of the whip, I jump forward towards the last conscious human and grab his neck with the whip, as he tries to escape on the bike.

"Don't run," I tell him, and he stops moving. "The one you are protecting, called upon me. And you run? A bit rude."

That must be about how Phobetor talks.

I tighten the grip around this human. He weirdly… still stays awake. But he seems so normal…

"Honestly, you got help from a human? Nothing special in his mind. How desperate were you?" I ask, while partly lying.

Indeed nothing felt special about him, except that he must have fainted already now. If I couldn't feel it… could it be?

"Why shouldn't I? Am I not…?" Morph asks.

"You can't even ask it. You don't deserve to know yet, my dear Morph," I scoff.

I release the guy and he, gasping for air, looks at me, as if he is ready to fight me. But he waits and scales the fake scales on me.

"Scanning…? You barely got a chance to even breath besides me, human. Now, speak M-"

"-Witch," Morph interrupts.

Witch? Interesting and cute little title.

"…Morph, you sure you want to do this? You barely can just survive if you go through it. And you will barely heal," I say, even when she had corrected me.

"I'm almost dying," Morph says.

"Far from it I'd say, but here. You have come at a proper time," I say, handing the disc to them. The guy grabs it, but I don't let go. We lock our eyes. "You better give it back soon, or HE will be mad."

"Who?" they ask.

"Did you see the dragon which raised from within the dome? Him. You better not even see him, not now, not ever," I say.

Feeling my eye itch with a tear, I make the guy look away, and it works. So… something was missing here.

I let go of the plate, and the guy struggles slightly by the sudden weight of the plate, but still holds it.

Something really must be missing. But what exactly?

"Don't lose it, don't damage it," I say and pause to think."Or swallow it, it is NOT tasty. Give it back soon. And find a white Dragon, that'll be your aim."

"A dragon?" the guy asks.

A human unaware of dragons?

"You got to be kidding me," I say, glaring at him. "I think you'll find one. She will… reach out for her," I say, and point towards Morph.

As I feel my finger getting more numb by the moment, I start walking away from them, before they say anything else. I successfully reach inside the dome, and the ring on my finger widens, as I turn back to my real form, with a green flash.

Weird how this thing works but… it was quite helpful.

I see the zombie-like people running towards me one second, and the blue ocean in the other.

"Thank you, Tacy," I say. "Please find him soon… he on the other hand can help you."

Silence again… but I knew she'd have heard me. She was smart. She only had to hold on for a little longer. And I wasn't sure if she was strong enough for that.

Hey there, I'm back! Two more Extras and we'll be going towards season 2! Extras are this way, missed sides of the story, being told right after a season ends. So be ready for more Extras to come!

Also, who Tacy is and most hinted parts can be found in my other novel, "Prophecy Failure: Mr. Reckless not Harbinger of Death", if you were wondering.
