Chapter Seven
Tom came to feeling electrical jolts hitting his neck feeling metal clamped around the area despite still having head clad in his mask. He jerked open his eyes with a start to find a grey cloudy sky in his eyesight with fireballs raining down overhead appearing to miss him.
He found a Drainer in view that spoke "Says get up now."
Tom obeyed finding himself able to move to find himself on a metallic ground surrounded by Rakcar he assumed were they still giving off that stinky smell making him disgusted despite them clad in twin outfits and some giving him narrowed eyed glares in response.
He found himself towering over the Drainer who appeared to gulp seeing that height differences who spoke while hearing gibberish spoken from one of the Rakcar "Says your target is inside that domicile contained in a cylinder tube with form of the Mesan's Curse inside it."
He spoke feeling his neck clad of the metal restraint "What do these Mesan's Curse look like anyway? I wasn't given the information when I was sent here to speak on the High Council's behalf. They give servants information on what they should know and that's about it period."
He narrowed his eyes as the Drainer was heard speaking gibberish followed by one of the Rakcar holding a tubal device in response flaring an image of figure with a male humanoid form with black scaly skin and having a barrel shaped head that made him think it was a mask while holding a long knife object in one hand he figured was a sword.
Tom glared at the Rakcar as the Drainer spoke translating after one of them was heard "Says this is what they look like so get inside the building now and take out this Mesan's Curse now."
He felt an electrical jolt from the metal restraint around his neck stinging him enough to grimace fully on his lips. Tom didn't say a word in response saw one of the Rakcar point to a building having an opening where there was a black hooded reptile faced Humanoid stood in the entrance while appearing to be jerking form back and forth in some visibly move.
Tom spoke "Eh? What's that standing in the doorway? Doesn't look like one of these Mesan's Curse you showed me."
He heard from the Drainer "Says just a traitor who betrayed us Rakcar to the Mesan's Curse. Get moving now and display that odd hand look of yours at the moment."
He didn't give off a response willed forwards the Banshee to slow walk taking his time towards the jerking reptile figure to see the figure appear to have a male form to him that remained in the doorway still jerking away.
Tom walked up to the figure who held up a hand which he halted his walking to hear a male voice sounding Rakcaran accent in Basic he figuring it wasn't from the humanoid "The Rakcar have gotten desperate that they asked the High Council to send an assassin to do their dirty work."
Tom felt the Banshee refused to budge from his form despite trying to will it aside. He narrowed his eyes aimed at the reptile humanoid who kept his clawed hand up showing it green and appearing to look humanoid with long fingernails seen.
He heard snickering laugher in Rakcaran tones coming from the building's room followed by the familiar male voice speaking again "Tell me assassin how do you plan to assassinate targets you can't see hmm?"
He felt the Banshee remained in control despite efforts to will it aside mentally spoke "Drat the Rakcar for putting this restraint on my neck to do their dirty work after knocking me unconscious. I was just a messenger from the High Council voicing their refusal to assist the Rakcar with their problem despite they speaking words of desperation. The High Council has complained of the Rakcar oath anything for help only to take back their word. I can't even will aside this Berserker form to tell you this."
He cut his thoughts when he felt his mind scanned from the feel of it to felt a compulsion to remove the restraint off his neck by mental orders which he obeyed finding it dropping around him in pieces while keeping an eye onto the reptile humanoid that stopped the hand up and stepped aside in some gesture for him to go inside which he obeyed. Tom walked inside the room to find no one in sight but multiple people contained in cylinder tubes at the walls of the room surrounding a cylinder tube containing a figure he saw had a Human like face with Builder golden eyes and a Mesan's Curse's body form in a male form. Tom felt himself compelled to stop walking obeyed and stood in the room feeling the Banshee compelled to will aside which he obeyed and folded his arms.
Tom spoke loudly in Basic from a compulsion to speak despite mind still being scanned "Spill it Mesan's Curse on the actual reason for this destruction. The High Council demands to know your side of this war despite the Rakcar telling something ridiculous we know that their lying again as always. So talk now."
He narrowed his eyes in a glaring expression sensing his eyes flaring golden from the looks of them to hear a male voice speaking in Basic loudly "I'll do the talking for us now."
He found a figure of a Mesan's Curse appearing from some hidden state that didn't reek of a stinky smell to him that flicked his right hand and saw a sword appear held in the male's hand who thrust it aimed at his direction.
Tom heard a male voice speaking in Basic "We Mesan's Curse had Rakcara as they call this planetary world now underneath our control our lives and our ways. The Rakcar we told you repeatedly came from a travel gate with claims of some world dead despite refusing to tell us anything about their former world in question. They created a sickness to knock most of us off and burned the bodies of those asleep despite others able to escape. They even tried to kill our leader which you High Council took with oaths of healing him and have refused to hand him back despite our pleas for that ignored. The Rakcar took control of this planetary world and created all this technology you see in this room that involves using manoids as batteries for powering power sources within Rakcara. The Rakcar wound up in their process attempted to destroy what made this planet function normally with their technology. They even don't seem to care if they destroy themselves to death due to their obsession in wearing some tech that makes them move at fast speeds and hide in sight an ability we have naturally. So say your piece from the High Council and be gone from here."
Tom felt himself still compelled to speak "Fine the High Council's business is done here. We have nothing more to say to the Rakcar except they must handle this war with you alone and yourself handle this war alone. We're not giving a hand to either side of this war. This war is not our concern except to tell you that your leader is safely healed contained on this planetary world dubbed Shadan where we currently have a base at the moment. You'll find him living among this species we call First Ones you dub by this awful name of Human in a leadership position at some place dubbed Zesky Asylum and Hospital. Seek this world and your leader yourself. That's as far as we're helping you in your search for him and helping you further with anything."
Tom unfolded his arms to find the scene changed to show a travel gate in his eyesight with an image fully of the High Council's travel gate room in his mind which he walked through the gate to get arms grabbed by the Falcons appearing in whining squeal sounds and Anubis roughly yanking off the head cover mask off his head in some tearing cloth move. He gave Anubis a glare in response who made a shrugging motion and threw aside the cloth before jabbing a finger towards the doorway entrance which he found himself roughly hauled to the High Council's throne room with Barry there giving him a glaring golden eyed glare aimed at him. Tom felt himself compelled to speak after Barry gave up his familiar chatter which he relayed everything that happened to him on Rakcara and what the Rakcar told him including what the Mesan's Curses species told him. He clamped his mouth shut once done to eye the High Council to see both speakers bow their heads followed by the group waving their hands and shaking their heads in various gestures he figuring long ago was their way of mental talk communication among each other.
Tom eyed Shad and Onya to see them both raise their heads followed by Shad's voice speaking "Interesting story from what we heard regarding this war on Rakcara. Too bad neither one of the species have refused to admit orig
inating from Edenia as where they came from and later kicked out of that moon world for refusing to get along with each other. They have always been fighting war battles since they originated on Edenia. The Rakcar refusing to drop their jealousy attitude towards Mesan's Curse having the natural ability to hide in sight and move fast the Rakcar keep on hoping to have hit their own species. Well we figured out a way for the Rakcar to get this to happen but it involves both species breeding offspring with each other for this ability to be passed down which would have created a new species a combination of Rakcar and Mesan's Curse. Both species have refused to listen to us telling them this breeding method to solve this silly war among each other. They have seemed more interested in their own petty selfish gains than listening to us help solve this war their fighting among each other at the moment." Tom heard from Onya "Too bad there's nothing we can do except hope within time both sides will be willing to listen to us on advising on stopping this war by the use of breeding-"
She was interrupted as Tom heard "The breeding between the warring species is not permitted."
Tom felt himself freed from the Falcons holds to find Anubis and guards on the steps acting threatening which he turned around to find a male appearing to look human by the face seen with Shadonian skin tones an all white eyed look of a Shadonian while dressed in a green robe that reminded him of the High Council's robes holding a chain in gloved hand attached to a white gonoid he figuring it was a tiger baring its teeth.
Tom heard from Barry sounding annoyed "White Shadow what purposes are you here for? Speak your piece from Edenia and leave. Your influence and interferences in the affairs of the High Council isn't wanted so talk now."
Tom frowned eyeing the male he assumed was dubbed White Shadow to his confusion as the male spoke accented of a Shadonian in Basic "Edenia has determined that there is another way of solving this conflict between the species calling themselves Rakcar and the species you dub them as Mesan's Curse. Breeding will not be permitted or used as a solvent to this war among both species. The breeding if you think of solving hasn't solved matters in question for it already has been done and the Samol and the Sakul are the result of this breeding in question."
Tom frowned as Barry spoke "Interesting it does explain some questions we were asking regarding the origins of the Samol and the Sakul due to not finding any records of them said to be created by Edenia herself."
He eyed White Shadow who spoke "Records aren't important to this matter. What matters is you must not answer any questions to the Rakcar or Mesan's Curse regarding the species of your messenger you sent to their home they may bring up in your presence."
Tom frowned forming it on his lips as White Shadow kept talking "The Rakcar and Mesan's Curse are forbidden to know anything about the messenger you sent to them. You are also forbidden on sending this manoid as your messenger anywhere via travel gate off Shadan or off planet Shadan via other technological uses. We will know of this law broken immediately and will take action against you regardless of how you hide this from us. Your messenger must only deliver messages within Shadan only and no where else period."
He heard from Barry "What about a planetary disaster hitting Shadan when he must be removed for his safety?'
Tom narrowed his eyes aimed at White Shadow "What planetary disaster are you speaking of Anger? There aren’t any planetary disasters prophesied to hit Shadan. We're aware of the Rakcar and them causing planetary disasters onto planetary worlds via off space technology. Those worlds were hit for a payment prices those worlds' species it contains had to pay to Edenia. Edenia assures you that the Rakcar will cease this payment price onto planetary worlds. She assures you that Shadan has the means to defend itself from such destruction. Lance Richard once you summon him will explain this defending ability to you. I must be gone."
He watched as White Shadow backed up in some gliding move with the tiger walking backwards and out of the room out of sight which he turned to face the High Council to hear Barry speaking Builder chatter loudly to sense a light show showing Lance Richard minus the crown sitting in a cross legged pose with eyes shut and hands to the sides like he was mediating.
Tom frowned as Barry was heard speaking in some furious tone "So talk Lance on what you've seen regarding White Shadow. Don't deny it to me that you can see other places through eyes of manoids like you seen through my eyes."
He folded his arms eyeing Lance with a glare on his face to hear from the male keeping eyes shut sounding firm "The weapon is Jinks Montreal himself. His earth moving abilities have given him a connection to Shadan on a permanent basis that also involves the entire Shadonian species themselves. Their his source of his power to control the earth including the source of his power to destroy Rakcaran planetary weapons the First Ones dub by this word of asteroid another talk for rock of a huge size actually. Those rocks can cause planetary destruction once they hit the earth or the ocean areas causing havoc within planet Shadan itself. Only Jinks Montreal with his source powers in control can stop those rocks from causing destruction once they've entered the planet's boundary line."
He frowned as Lance opened his eyes showing them Human blue that appeared to focus onto Barry and added "Besides it's your responsibility, Barry on telling Jinks this talk. He's still furious with me at the moment and has refused to take any advice from me or listen to me telling him various things he should be aware of. That talk of protecting Shadan has been ignored and rejected in my face in various emotional responses from Jinks whenever I tell him this. So good luck on telling Jinks this I can't help you in this matter."
Tom eyed passed Lance as if drawn to find the Falcons restraining a familiar male flaring an all black eyed look while Anubis had a gloved hand covering the male's mouth in some tight grip. He exhaled a breath recognizing the male as Jinks himself and figured from the eyed look that he was furious with Lance and his worded talk.
He kept his mouth shut continued to eye Jinks as Shad was heard "Anyhow get Lance out of our sight now Ramses."
He sensed a light show and eyed Jinks as the Falcons and Anubis brought him closer to the group to stand next to him which he shifted his form to eye the High Council to hear "Nice try Lance Richard on that excuse of Horus being the weapon when its you who's actually the weapon. We already tested the Shadonian connection and found its connection very crystal clearly. Anyway Ramses dump Lance Richard into the ocean for that deception of trying to go around as Horus and Horus ordered to go around as himself underneath our servitude."
Tom found Jinks he assumed was Lance disappearing in a light show after freed from the Falcons' grips to hear from Shad again "Lance still seeing through your eyes Barry again as usual?"
He eyed Barry who bobbed his head followed by the Builder speaking chatter and then added in Basic "You thought correct on who's the weapon actually. It's Lance Richard himself. But I doubt your theory of this switcheroo trick at the moment. I know Jinks too well that he'll never fool you into thinking he's Lance Richard. He doesn't have the smarts to think well enough to outwit stunts pulled onto him by you, the Meritanians or myself as well. Only Lance managed to do that successfully with whatever stunts I threw him in that were twin to the stunts I pulled onto Jinks' offspring Robert himself who managed to think smartly on getting out of those situations."
Tom frowned to shift his eyes towards the High Council to hear from Shad "How well do you know Lance Richard when it comes to teaching his offspring to get the smarts you call this attitude to outwit stunts played onto them hmm?"
He resumed looking at Barry who spoke sounding firm "I know how well Jinks acted while Lance communicated to him. Jinks acted like some kind of puppet doing this and that underneath Lance's orders actually. He even seemed too dependant on Lance to help guide his life with everything he needed to do in Shadan."
Tom bared his teeth in response giving off a growl sound softly while eyeing Barry who gave him a golden eyed glare before resuming looking at the High Council quitting the golden eyed loo
k and continued talking "This puppet behavior has been seen among First Ones including done among your own servants you the hand while your servants act puppet like actually."
Tom again gave up a growling sound sounding a bit louder while fisting his hands as he shifted his form to face Barry entirely while keeping his arms folded as Shad was heard speaking "Anyhow Barry transport this puppet excuse of a servant Mind Bender to medical for testing then see on getting him properly attired. We have a job for him which we'll say what it is once he's wearing the proper garments for it so transport away."
He gave Barry a glare while cutting off his noises as the Builder spoke his familiar chatter to find himself in the medical room to get tested thoroughly then thrust his familiar jeans and rugby shirt including his underwear, socks and sneakers he put on his form after clothes were exchanged. He stood with arms folded as Barry got him into the High Council's throne room with the Builder there to give the group a glaring stare of accusation in his eyes.
He glared at the High Council as Shad spoke "Ramses transport Mind Bender to a discreet location for meeting Horus since its obvious there isn't a switcheroo anyway."
He found himself in a hotel room holding double beds to hear the alarm clock blare its noises which he found one of the beds occupied. He eyed the figure in bed still covered by blankets that reached a hand and a bare arm and turned on the lamp before thrusting it underneath the blankets.
Tom sighed softly eyeing Jinks he assumed was in the bed to hear loudly "Don't stand there, Tom. Hit the bathroom for a shower. You reek pretty bad at the moment. I'll be sure to get you a change of clothing once I root around your suitcase for something decent for you to wear I'll leave on your bed."
He exhaled a breath hearing Jinks' voice sounding firm to him which he groaned and found the bathroom and went inside.
Tom came out with a towel wrapped around his waist like a skirt hair damp from the thorough shower he gave himself to find Jinks had gotten out of bed and was sitting on a bed at the foot with the flat screened TV on blaring some news' channel he recognized with an all black eyed look and holding the remote in hand ignoring him. He found clothes lying on the bed that seemed different from his regular clothing to feel confused to the looks of them.
He spoke loudly "Jinks, don't tell me my clothes in my suitcase were all stinky."
He glared at Jinks who looked in his direction and jabbed a finger aimed at him while still having that all black eyed look and speaking in his creepy voice tone "You have obligations that must be done period. So put on those clothes now and shut up and let me watch the TV."
Tom saw Jinks look away which he removed his towel tossing it onto the bed and kept an eye onto the male who didn't spare him a glance instead kept his attention onto the TV as he got dressed into the clothes that reminded him of some business suit from the looks of them including the shoes and a tie he found clipped onto the collar instead of wrapping around his neck.
Tom once done stood with arms folded while eyeing Jinks and spoke "Ahem."
He got a glare in response followed by Jinks shutting off the TV with a hand waving towards it instead of the remote control and tossed aside the device onto the bed and got up looking him up and down him noticing that Jinks was clad in an entirely black business suit clothes minus the tie.
Tom frown eyeing Jinks who spoke "What do you know of males and females taking oaths to be paired together anyway?"
He sighed recalling his oath ceremony with Thura fully in his mind spoke "All I know is that the Highlanders have some kind of oath to be paired ceremony that only involves putting necklaces looking twin to each other onto the one their paired to and their partner doing the same to them and that's about it. I had such a ceremony happen to one female I valued that I was outliving. Too bad I wasn't able to keep the necklace I was given her or she the same soon after she passed away. I was later forced to ceremony put her dead body down in some eater fire burning method and ashes scattered somewhere in King Winter's kingdom. And yes the High Council made me wear High Council robes when doing that death ceremony onto her wearing twin robes as me and same with the ashes scattering done."
He glared at Jinks who spoke "Well this oath to be paired ceremony among Humans involved exchanging jewelry called rings that's worn on a finger on the hand. It doesn't matter what finger or what hand the ring is placed on as long as the exchange is made in the oath ceremony. After that ceremony is over the female is required to wear a certain jewelry stone ring on her left hand which doesn't matter which finger as long as its there to show that she's paired publicity. The male has to have a certain type of chain necklace to be worn that he can't take off while he's paired to a female period. The male can take off the necklace if he and the female declare the pairing over with which will take about a full Human year or cycle as you call it for that breakup to happen as stated by the law on such pairings."
Tom exhaled a breath and inhaled as Jinks formed a Human blue eyed look having anger in them which he spoke "You seem angry about something so talk on what it is. Perhaps I can help out the problem-"
He was interrupted "Don't bother with the helping. It's just me expecting from Victoria in her life to not get involved with the High Council. I admit it I don't like the High Council period. I refuse to say why I don't like the group to you. I'll only admit that fact to them in person. I would rather have them hear why from me than from someone else or from some stinking recorder. So excuse me while I have to lead you out of here since you don't know where's the exit to this hotel is."
He didn't comment a response wordlessly followed Jinks out of the room taking a stairwell route that appeared to be for hotel servants to use who ignored them walking down the stairs as the servants went up them. He followed Jinks to the lobby he assumed was where they were going to find his hunch correct to find a gathering of cops in the room as the sunlight blared from outside showing a bunch of press people gathered near the entrance held back by rope barricades some still flashing lights from their devices.
He heard nothing from Jinks in response but a throat clearing noise from the male loudly to find the cops in the room turning attention towards them as one spoke loudly "Car's outside parked waiting for you. We'll escort you both out."
Tom followed Jinks escorted by the cops escorting him out the hotel doorway entrance to the waiting car while hearing the presses pester questions aimed at him and the male for comments on various subjects related to Victoria and himself and their daughter Kayra he tuned them out from listening to concentrate onto Victoria's Father who got into a limo which he followed inside finding the door slammed shut behind him.
He buckled up his seatbelt and gave Jinks a glare while speaking "Buckle up safety first."
He got a Hmph sound from Jinks in response who buckled up his seatbelt and felt the limo start up followed by the male opening a seat part in between them to yank out a bottle of strawberry milkshake which he spied his familiar herbal drink took it out and sipping it slowly after uncapping it.
He felt his strength going back to his standards to hear from the driver sounding Highlander accented "Traffic is bad at the moment due to some accident on a road to the location. I have to take another route instead."
Tom heard nothing more from Jinks leaned back shutting his eyes due to figuring out that he'll get some sleep. He felt the padded seat drop away from him followed by hitting a familiar metal floor with a grunt sound before familiar hands' grips grabbed his arms lifting him up in a standing position as he saw an overhead shot in the High Council's throne room of a limo on fire while Jinks was seen lifted up unconscious from the ground by bystanders and hauled away from the vehicle out of camera's eyesight.
Tom glared at the High Council in response to snarl loudly "I wanted a life with Victoria period! I'm done serving you!"
He glared at the group as the overhead scene stopped followed by the lights resuming their brightness to hear from Shad "A life with Victoria is what you'll receiv
e but it'll be on our terms period. You will serve us for you have spoken the words of loyalty in some oath we expect you to keep for life as long as you live on Shadan till Edenia breaks the containment is when you're free of servitude."
Tom fisted his hands while baring his teeth giving off an angry growling sound softly eyeing the High Council as Onya spoke "Oh there's one thing we expect you to do and you'll do it period."
He quit his growling once he heard what Shad ordered him to do. Tom fingered the chain necklace through the shirt of a masked High Council servant wear's top while clad in the clothes and shoes including wearing a mask that covered the upper half of his face keeping his eyes and nose hidden including covering the head area down to his neck and appeared to wrap around his neck from the feel of it once put on his form. He eyed the golden cup in his hand he was sipping his familiar Vodka drink he received from the bartender on Barry's orders who have refused to say another word on who he was except dubbed him by the word of Berserker. He sighed pausing from drinking to stare at the bar's top before resuming drinking his drink, his mouth and chin bare of the mask. Tom took his time sipping the drink while fiddling with the necklace underneath his shirt.
He heard from Barry "Cut scratching yourself like that, Berserker. It's annoying me."
Tom removed his hand still feeling the chain necklace a golden color wrapped around neck in some almost choking move but left room for him to breathe fine. He recalled the High Council ordered him to take the First Ones' oath ceremony with Victoria on one of their islands set aside for it she going along with it and not surprised to find him alive instead of assumed dead.
He found that the oath ceremony involved a Highlander speaking foreign language from some book and waving a hand in a gesture over the both of them before speaking in Basic "Make the oath exchange of jewelry as its called now."
He was given a chain necklace by Victoria who got it around his neck without any effort or problems as he gave her a ring he recognized as the fashion ring he always kept with him always forgetting to give to her. He found himself putting the ring on her right hand on the largest finger as if compelled to do it to his annoyance. Tom continued to sip the drink recalling that Victoria after given the ring got him into a lip lock with arms around him before she was yanked away by the Falcons to see her disappear in a flash of light with them. He found himself given Nameless' former room despite it cluttered with various objects he found were junk to him along with Barry there that ordered him using Builder talk to get out of his clothes into High Council wear clothes along with given the mask to wear and ordered not to take it off unless the group ordered him to do it and accept the name of Berserker as his name despite unsure of what name the group was planning on naming him for doing jobs for them. He sipped the Vodka drink entirely then placed it down onto the counter to find the bartender a Listener appearing to be a female from feminine form seen with longer hair and male Listener clothes on her form was appearing to be staring at him with a scrutiny look. Tom once done with the drink tossed her the cup in a hard throw she expertly plucked out of the air with no effort and saw her walk away going to the sink to wash the cup he saw from the looks of it. He shifted to look at Barry facing his direction who had finished his drinking from the looks of it. Tom glared at Barry through the see through mask covering his eyes. He felt the urge to will forwards the Banshee arrived obeyed to do it to flex a clawed hand towards Barry refraining from forming any rude gestures with his fingers aimed at the Builder.
He found Barry didn't seem shocked by the gesture instead gave off a chuckle sound and spoke "You'll come to know that thinking yourself freed of the High Council is frowned around here once you've joined the First Ones living like one of them. The High Council always will have you serving them period even if its for life or even if you think your freed from serving them. You'll always serve the High Council period."
Tom folded his arms in response to will aside the Banshee to narrow his eyes in a glare aimed at Barry who added "Whatever female you loved, don't expect her to be yours forever while you serve the High Council. They will see that she's paired off with some other male period. That includes arranging the pairing to happen and insisting on her to keep the relationship on a permanent basis."
Tom fisted his hands letting them be seen fisted as Barry spoke "Believe me I know what your going through when it comes to a female you love that you can't have as yours due to serving the High Council. I went through that multiple times during my time I've lived in Shadan. I keep having to put up with admiring a desired female from afar despite wanting her for myself I wasn't able to get. The High Council has refused to allow such pairings to happen to me despite I allowed to get rid of urges only a female can provide. You'll get used to that feeling hitting you from time to time including used to using females for getting rid of urges. I can't say if any offsprings will be allowed to be created from such pairing. I at the moment is still not permitted that despite still used for implantation methods for female to carry my offsprings. The High Council might have you do such donation bits but I highly doubt it due to how unusual you are with your abilities of having form changing abilities. That's something I haven't seen an interests in from the High Council actually."
Tom heard blared unexpectedly as Barry quit talking "Barry, the High Council want you and Mind Bender as he's called into the meeting room. Why is he called that name despite a servant already have that name anyway?"
He got up from the stool to hear from Ramses sounding grumpy again "Because you want to make Mind Bender live forever despite that servant is dead actually."
He adjusted his arms to hide his fisted hands as Barry spoke his familiar chatter to find them both in the High Council's throne room. He gave the group a glare with his eyes despite mask covering them.
Tom heard from Shad "We caught the fool that rigged Horus's vehicle to blow up. He's contained in the brig at the moment. Barry transport Mindbender to the brig and have Anubis be there to open the cell door while our servant does whatever he wants to this fool as long as he's dead period."
Tom found himself facing cell bars in the brig to find a raggedy male making his senses blaring warning despite smelling bad to him from the stink that backed up from the bars with fear on his dirty face looking nervous while appearing to gulp repeatedly. He heard Anubis's growl found the cell bars slamming open leaving nothing between him and the male who backed up hitting the wall still looking nervous. Tom unfolded his arms and willed forwards the Banshee while flexing a clawed hand towards the male in some fist move. He saw the male flattened himself against the wall in fear as he walked into the cell putting down his hand while hearing the cell doors bang shut behind him.
Tom halted his walking as the male stopped his fear look and gave off snickering laughter sounds before sneering loudly "Is this the best you can do to me High Council? Send some freak of nature coward with face covered up to put me down? Hah, he won't last a battle with me and my combative abilities. I've got years of training involving martial arts. He'll be put down easily anyway."
Tom folded his arms as the male continued on snickering which he raised a hand and mentally spoke "Male to me."
He found the male flipping into some acrobatic move to hit him feet first which he mentally spoke in a rush "Paralysis male to wall."
He found to his annoyance the paralysis refused to work onto the male by the Human hitting the wall feet first and flipping down in some acrobatic move showing an all black eyed glare aimed at him. Tom figured that the male had power abilities of Jinks hence he able to counterattack his paralysis order.
He mentally spoke "Mind reveal."
Tom saw clearly in the male's mind that he was working as a hired assassin whoever hired him unknown to him to take out Tom himself in some car explosion due to made clear that the pairing of Victoria and Tom wasn't going to happen period due to the assassin assumed that someone else wanted her himself. He quit the mind scanning as the male attacked him with f
ists and feet flying which he counterattacked the moves due to easily recalling the karate and combative art training he received he kept up religiously. Tom attacked the male finding the Human was trying to use Jinks' like powers of paralysis onto him which he mentally gave up the shield command repeatedly over and over while fighting.
He fought till he spotted a weakness within the male's fighting style and counterattacked it using mental commands of "Throw back, male to me."
He kept it up finding the male was flying in the air repeatedly flipping back and forth due to figuring out that his shield command wouldn't work till the Human hit the wall with a bang sound landing on his back and looking exhausted to him by not indicating on a shield command to him. Tom heard the cell bars swung open with a bang sound to find the Falcons grabbing the male by the arms and holding him onto the wall as Anubis came into sight.
He heard "Alright quit that wall pining now and let him go. The High Council wanted him in their presence restrained actually."
He mentally spoke in response "Paralysis from neck down wall pin stop."
Tom found the Falcons hauling the male out of the cell followed by Anubis in a fast speed move.
He heard the cell doors bang shut locking him inside to his annoyance to find Anubis speaking "Sorry I got orders."
Tom folded his arms to see Anubis and Falcons fade from view to hear squawks and groaning sounds followed by the familiar raggedy dressed male walking into sight with a smirk on his face who spoke "Well what did you expect from me High Council since I did what's ordered?"
He stiffened recognizing the voice as Jinks who removed his facial mask showing his face clean of dirt still having the familiar scar on his cheek with Human blue eyes in control glaring at him.
Tom frowned as Jinks spoke loudly "By the way nice try on letting me think that Tom is dead. Its Tom standing in front of me is wearing that mask on his head. I recognized him from the moment I laid eyes onto him from my senses going off alerting me of him every time I'm in his presence as always."
Tom found himself in the High Council's throne room to see Jinks restrained by the Falcons to hear from Shad "What senses are you talking about related to recognizing Mindbender as who you think he is?"
He heard in response "I can explain that."
Tom heard a vulgar language insult aimed at Lance via Jinks as he saw Lance Richard come into view who spoke towards him "Your not born of Shadan are you?"
He bobbed his head in a Human yes gesture to see Lance shift to face the High Council who spoke "That's how Jinks figured out who he is. He's not Shadan born actually."
He heard Jinks continue swearing vulgarity aimed at Lance who ignored him to continue talking "Besides Jinks will always figure out who's who if their standing on the earth ground which doesn't matter if they have shoe wear on their feet or not. He'll always detect people walking on the earth or inside it alive or dead doesn't matter. Besides if you want to find a body being buried in the ground in an area the size of this room's floor he'll find it easily by sticking his hand into the ground and will pinpoint its location. I know of this for I used to have this ability myself which now has transferred to Jinks. That except for the ability of protecting the planet falls to me actually."
He shifted to eye Jinks finding Anubis had managed to cover the male's mouth to eye the High Council in response as Shad spoke "Ramses see about dumping Horus into the ocean where its safe for him to get some swimming done. His language use insulting Lance Richard is annoying us."
He found Jinks disappearing in a flash of light after freed from the Falcons and Anubis's hand grips.
He bore the High Council a glare as Shad spoke again "Anyway we have a job for you Mind Bender. We expect you to do this job crystal clearly without any mistakes this time so Ramses transport Mind Bender to where he's to go and transmit the information he should know once he's there now."
Tom found himself facing a doorway he recognizing belonged to the Zesky Asylum and Hospital to hear loudly behind him "Well, well a servant of the High Council. What do they want this time?"
He heard the sarcasm of Jason's familiar voice turned around shifting away the Banshee as if compelled to find Breaker standing next to Jason with guards kneeling in front of them guns pointed at him.
Tom inhaled and spoke "How's Kayra doing anyway? I heard from the High Council that you have her."
He got a glare from Jason who sneered "I see it'll take more than a car explosion to put you down Mindbender or should I say Tom Thunder hmm?"
He folded his arms and spoke "Whatever identity you want Jason, now about Kayra?"
He heard the firmness of his voice tone to glare at Jason who spoke "Come along now."
He wordlessly followed Jason with guards escorting and Breaker behind him to a room he found Kayra lying on the bed asleep cuddled by a sleeping Victoria. Tom felt himself unable to go near them both due to the guards pointing their gun weapons aimed at him. He saw Jason go to Victoria to pick up one of her hands she remaining asleep like he was checking for a pulse then walked up to him thrusting an object onto his front he took finding it was her ring he gave her.
Tom snarled a soft growling sound aimed at Jason who smirked and spoke "Too bad for that. Some male I refused to name made it clear to me that he wants her for himself hence he making a deal with the High Council to get you out of the way to get her. Oh I wouldn't bet on Kayra living too long either. Her medical condition is terminal and there's no cure for it despite you led to believe by the High Council claiming to have it. She dies period. Hah."
Tom willed forwards the Banshee to see Jason fade from view to feel a hand touching his forehead as he felt a compulsion to wake up hit him obeyed finding himself in a limo seatbelt off of him wearing his business suit clothes from the feel and found the hand's owner was Jinks clad in his familiar black business suit clothes.
Tom felt himself confused seeing Jinks who willed aside his all black eyed look and snarled sounding rude "Get yourself out of the fricking car now. Your not getting out of this ceremony so will that status away now!"
Tom obeyed feeling himself confused to why he had that weird dream as he got out of the car followed by Jinks finding the presses there pestering him with questions as he followed the male to the entrance to hear an explosion of a car blowing up behind him to look finding the limo was blown up to blink his eyes to find himself facing Jason while clad in High Council clothes and mask on his face to feel his throat gagged by a hand and Breaker's angry voice speaking "Will that status away now."
Tom obeyed to find Breaker refused to let go of his neck as he found himself jumping from the limo explosion looping over and over along with standing with the Builder hybrid gagging him.
Tom mentally spoke "Stop it now! Stop this dream now! It ends period!"
He found the scene going black to come to hearing voices speaking while shaking his head "He's coming around quick give him the medicine, it'll put him under some more."
Tom felt himself sitting in a chair clad only in his jeans with wrists handcuffed behind him in the chair as he heard the voices getting panicky after willing forwards the Banshee to shake his head forcing his eyes open getting fuzzy eyesight to him as he continued to shake his head. Tom found his eyesight clearing up to find himself underneath some spotlight of some cage room to notice Jinks nearby chained to a wheelchair while looking asleep to him while wearing only pants on his form. Tom narrowed his eyes in a golden eyed glare while eyeing the people gathered around in the room were wearing ragged clothing that were covering them from the head to foot despite various colorful sneakers were seen.
Tom gave the people a glare in response to hear from one of them "Just shoot him the dart and see if that'll put him to sleep."
He eyed them people to sense an object traveling towards him from behind mentally spoke "Drop."
He heard clattering noises of a syringe hitting the ground as he gave the raggedy people a glare he counted about five in front of hi
m. He sensed the same number behind him as he again ordered the syringe to drop after sensing it thrown at him from behind. Tom mentally spoke the order for restraints off to find the handcuffs getting off of him to stand up in a fast mood feeling dizziness while hearing multiple gun cocking noises.
Tom shook his head of the dizziness as he cleared it out of him to find the ten people in the room were pointing various projectile guns aimed at him to hear the familiar voice speaking "I'll sit down if I were you. You can be brought down by projectile bullets Tom Thunder. I recognized you as the Tom Thunder from the news blaring in Ontario about an Annoyov brought down by a bullet but managed to survive. You have a scar on your chest indicating it a bullet right in the spot where this Annoyov was said to be shot and survived. So sit down now."
Tom stiffened from the familiarity of the voice he recognized as Johan Denmark's willed aside the Banshee to speak loudly "Johan Denmark why are you sounding like him?"
He heard Builder chatter in response sounding of Johan's voice to hear guns' sounds of safeties put on in response.
He heard from Johan sounding furious "I said shoot him not put the safeties on."
Tom looked in a direction in a break of people as if drawn to hear from Johan Builder chatter finding nothing happening to him or the gun held people. He heard an Argh sounding of frustration as he stared in the direction as if drawn to find the people with guns walking away despite protesting from Johan loudly in Summeran. He glared in the direction with accusation on his face as another Builder's chatter was heard sounding of Barry to him followed by a flash of two light shows.
Tom darted towards Jinks to gentle pat a hand onto the male's cheek while speaking "Come on Jinks fight the drug and wake up now."
He eyed Jinks' scarred cheek as if drawn and with a shrugged patted the male on the area to get Jinks waking up sputtering vulgarity language on not wanting to be touched on that area. Tom stopped touching Jinks to give him a glare as the male in response willed an all black eyed look and got the restraints off of him followed by getting up and giving him a glaring stare of accusation after showing Human blue eyes.
Tom spoke "Johan Denmark pulled this stunt this time. I don't know who's the fool that pulled the previous stunt the first time anyway."
Tom frowned as Jinks folded his arms while showing his familiar black eyed look again and speaking sounding again in his creepy voice tone "Talk on what you did to Johan Denmark now!"
He heard the angry voice tone of Jinks sensed themselves spied on and found Jinks radiating of anger while narrowing his eyes aimed at him which he spoke "I saved his daughter Jillian Denmark from being shot by a stalker like mate friend. I received a bullet in my arm as a result of that saving."
He showed the arm having the scar visibly and then got from Jinks speaking "Your voice suggested something wasn't said so talk on that!"
He groaned softly as Jinks continued to glare at him which he spoke "Fine I'm not sure who's idea it was but I wound up breeding an offspring through Jillian while in the hands' of the High Council."
He glared at Jinks to find the scene changed to find himself back in the chair handcuffed with the Banshee not in control to find Johan Denmark in view looking furious who spoke loudly "Bastard ruined my daughter with that offspring creation in response thanks to the hospital blabbing about Jillian having some bastard's offspring from tests already done onto her. This bastard I'm talking about got Jillian carrying as reason why he did that to her just to claim ownership to her after word got out that someone else got her carrying in the first place."
Tom narrowed his eyes in a glare aimed at Johan who added speaking Builder chatter to feel a gun point poking the side of his head recalled the ability Jinks dubbed Master within him willed it forwards to speak as the male stopped his Builder chatter while hearing a gun cocking noise "You got that bastard to be declared guilty at the trial didn't you? You used your Builder voice talents to keep the stinking lawyer from riling me up when I testified on that incident involving Jillian. Talk on this bit now."
He glared at Johan who shook his head as he felt the gun remove itself from the side of his head followed by the male speaking sounding slurred to him "Yes I used my voice talent to sway the jury into declaring this bastard guilty despite they thinking of saying not guilty. I also used my voice talent onto the witnesses to not fall for the attack the lawyer stunt the defense lawyer was pulling."
Tom spoke "Then what's with the bit of kidnapping me repeatedly anyway?"
He glared at Johan who shook his head and continued to form a far away look on his face and eyes before speaking still sounding slurred "I didn't kidnap you while you were in military school. It was done by a Hettinger family member trying to find out what happened to a relative and blaming the car explosion that destroyed Kevin Hettinger onto Jinks Montreal himself. I told that Hettinger family member Raina despite name is Verona Vander is her name as she's publicity known that I wouldn't help her with the matter involving Jinks Montreal. I was fed up with Kevin Hettinger anyway and washed my hands of him. Too bad Verona Vander didn't know that Jinks Montreal is heavily spied on by the public and that includes the law enforcement who do what it takes to keep him alive including making him generous to share his huge money fortune despite others having problems trying to amass that amount of wealth themselves. As for the recent kidnapping you I only took you and told the driver to dump Mister Montreal in the hospital for help due to that he wasn't my target you were."
Tom spoke again "Then why did you target me?"
He got from Johan sounding slurred "I wanted to know what the hospital was talking about involving Jillian my daughter already went through some carrying status despite the family caretakers hauling her into the hospital claiming some suicide attempt was done due to finding her lying among a bottle of pills. They publicity blabbed that carrying status which got that bastard to target her in response. Now my daughter in response was publicity shunned by people in our circle till I had to come out and admit that she was originally born of Kevin Hettinger who I was raising to spare the family humiliation. They didn't take the news of this well and have publicity claimed that I was humiliating them due to not liking Kevin himself. Some other family members were claimed by tabloids to say that Jillian was raised right despite denying that to the public. Their still denying Jillian as their family despite she is really a family member actually. The public in our circle is still shunning Jillian and myself as well. They refused to have anything to do with me or Jillian. Besides Jillian when questioned heavily has claimed that you fathered her offspring the hospital blabbed she was carrying first."
Tom felt the urge to will aside the Master obeyed to glare at Johan with a glare of accusation in his eyes while bowing his head a bit to keep his eyes seen as the male shook his head and spoke Builder chatter to find again the familiar gun poking his head followed by gun cocking sounds.
Tom spoke as Johan focused onto him "You sure that killing me will solve things Johan?"
He glared at Johan who focused onto him to speak Builder chatter to hear a gunshot sound loudly he sensed wasn't from the gun poking his head as the male shut his eyes and slid to the floor showing Jillian behind him holding a handgun in her hand dressed in raggedy clothes with face bared and a mask in her hand.
He found the gun's owner poking his head removed followed by a male voice speaking "I ain't shooting this guy anyway. You do it if you want him dead period."
Tom frowned eyeing Jillian who appeared to be panting for breath as he mentally spoke "Restraints off."
He felt the handcuffs got off his wrists to stand up finding Jillian still pointing the gun aimed at him with some tearful stained look on her face and mouth forming a frown. Tom kept his mouth shut in response as she aimed the gun at him.
He refrained from willing the Banshee forwards waiting for Jillian to shoot him as he mentally spoke "Victoria, I'll see you again when its possible."
Tom kept himself calm and waited as Jillia
n fired the gun aimed at his chest which he felt the bullet penetrate him shut his eyes and slid to the floor falling unconscious to come to finding himself lying in a hospital bed with a bandage over his right side of the chest where he assumed he was shot. He felt himself clad in only pants that felt scrubs to his form along with a small body lying sideways on top of him he recognized from the feel was Kayra sleeping as he jerked opened his eyes looking around to find himself in Victoria's hospital room lying on a bed next to hers while Kayra was lying on top of him sleeping away. He rubbed a hand on his forehead to hear loudly a vulgar comment wording question aimed at him in Jinks' voice tone sounding furious and wanting to know what he was thinking of letting himself get shot by Jillian Denmark who's locked up in some mental asylum due to claiming that he fathered her first offspring and was diagnosed of having some auditory hallucination case of hearing voices in her mind driving her mad enough to shoot her Father to death. That included him found shot by her by police hearing the gunshot noises coming to investigate and found her holding the gun they having to dart her unconscious due to her acting crazy as in talking like she was hearing voices by the way she talked to them and not properly hearing them talking hence she locked up as a result. Tom sighed and eyed Jinks who gave him a black eyed glare in response. He willed forwards the Banshee sensing Kayra stirring from her sleep and mentally blasted into Jinks everything that happened with Johan Denmark ending with his decision to let Jillian shoot him due to figuring out that the High Council will do something like they pulled onto someone else in the past they got locked up in some asylum as in letting him get shot at by that person but made it seem like the person was crazy despite claiming of shooting a person when the victim wasn't there.
He willed aside the Banshee once done to feel himself inclined to keep it away eyed Jinks who stopped the familiar eyed look instead folded his arms and spoke "Well Kayra your Dad is awake so be a sweetie and give him a hug."
He frowned hearing Jinks' words as he heard loudly Kayra's babbling voice tone followed by her felt hugging him which he hugged back in response to sit up from the bed while still hugging her babbling away in her gibberish.
Tom stiffened as he heard Kayra's gibberish to realize with a start that she was speaking Freeloader offspring's language from the way she sounded and found himself easily translating her talk "Mama sleepy too much. Grampa say she need sleep she sick she sleeps to heal. Dada have a boo aid on why?"
He sighed and eyed Kayra to find her looking at him while feeling her picking onto the bandage on his chest to again hear her babble "Boo aid."
Tom spoke in Summeran "I got hurt hence the boo aid Kayra."
He heard a throat clearing noise from Jinks to add while looking at him in Basic "Her babbling gibberish is my hybrid side's offspring's language used by instincts controlling them. I recognized the language she used actually. It'll go away once she gets it the Summeran language and its use for speaking. I think she's too young to get it that she should be speaking in Summeran."
Tom saw Jinks give him a glare cut himself off as the male spoke in Basic "She speaks Summeran to me in her mental talk aimed at me but uses sign language towards her Mother despite refusing to talk any word sounds of Summeran to her whenever pressed to talk."
He sighed softly to hear from Kayra sounding annoyed "Why Dada, Grampa speaking bad words to each other?"
He eyed Kayra to speak in Summeran "Its not bad words its another language actually we're both fluent in at the moment. Sorry was discussing something inappropriate for you to hear."
He hugged Kayra in response to get her Berserker look in response triggering his Banshee ability to hear blasting in his mind his daughter's voice tone sounding further annoyed "Bad words means you talking about me Dada. Don't like people's talk about me in me presence."
Tom mentally spoke towards Kayra "I get the message on what you meant."
He found Kayra willing aside her Berserker form as he did the same to his Banshee form to spoke loudly in Summeran while looking at Jinks "She's fluent in Basic actually. She told me that she gets it our talk."
Tom sighed as Jinks shifted to look at Kayra which he spoke "Can't you speak in Summeran, Kayra like any other Human around here speaks in?"
He frowned as he looked down to hear from Kayra sounding in her familiar gibberish "Doctor Guy talk nasty about Mama. He was using words with itch and duck too about shaving her head entirely whatever that is. Another doctor a girl talked to this bad doctor about just cutting Mama's hair and called him a ducker in some nasty voice tone. Girl doctor told guy doctor to leave Mama alone to sleep. Guy doctor kept getting into the room carrying object girl doctor keeps catching him and get him out every time. This stopped when you arrived into room."
Tom willed forwards the Banshee and mentally related Kayra's talk towards Jinks who formed a glare on his face before speaking towards him mentally "Figures. I killed a doctor back then for bad medical practice done onto patients and even onto my daughter in law my son's wife actually was one of the victims. He purposely destroyed her chance of having any children by having that organ removed due to purposely misdiagnosing her sickness for some greedy money scheme. I choked him to death using my mental power abilities actually."
Tom frowned hearing that willed aside the Banshee as there was a knock on the door to the room to eye the door seeing it open to show a male doctor enter the room carrying a clipboard he heard Kayra babble "Bad guy doctor. Its him who's bad to Mama."
He eyed the male in response who walked up to his bed and spoke "So how are you feeling?"
He heard the sarcasm of the doctor's voice tone opened his mouth to speak only to feel a hand clamped over it to find Jinks was the hand's owner flaring an all black eyed look aimed at the doctor who he saw appeared to gulp and look terribly nervous before darting towards the door only to halt tipping back and forth. Tom frowned as Jinks removed his mouth and walked into view to walk into the doctor's eyesight's view while still having that all black eyed look aimed at the male.
He eyed the doctor who spoke sounding panicky "Alright! I was paid by this deliver guy in some uniform some huge money amount of paper money in some package to give your daughter nasty treatment while helping her heal from her medical ailment. I'm cash strapped at the moment thanks to some well known socialite female getting the courts to go her way on some misdiagnose on purpose medical case involving problems with implants to her breasts. It wasn't a misdiagnose or done on purpose case actually! It was the factory that made those implants did them poorly that fooled us doctors into thinking they were perfect for implantation when it wasn't. I'm still paying that female that fine as a result of the courts going her way for some huge million dollar price tag I blamed for the bad implantation done despite the factory refusing to take responsibly for it."
Tom frowned to hear from Kayra babbling as the doctor stopped talking "Bad doctor tell tall tale on what he said."
He figured that tall tale was Kayra's talk for lying as he continued to eye the doctor to mentally will forwards the Banshee to mentally scan the male's mind seeing the actual reason for the nasty treatment towards Victoria willed aside the form and spoke loudly "Actually doctor just admit that Verona Vander an actual member of the Hettinger family paid you to treat Victoria nasty due to still carrying a grudge against her Father she blames for causing the death of a family member named Kevin Hettinger."
He glared at the doctor's back to see the doctor bow his head before speaking loudly "Every single word Mister Thunder said is true regarding what I was supposed to do towards your daughter sir. And he's not kidding that the actress Verona Vander is a member of the Hettinger family. She really is anyway. Besides her reputation as an actress was just an act to help her family earn their fortune including earning the money to live off comfortably. She's not the only member of the family that is in the acting industry. There's several others who are currently in that industry hiding who they really are as a part of the Hettinger family. They are u
sing their acting profession and reputation to purposely trash people with the Hettinger family not gaining any eyes from the cops on that trashing status actually."
Tom frowned eyeing the doctor's back as he heard from Kayra babbling "Grampa really mad hearing bad doctor's talk might do something bad."
Tom willed forwards the Master and spoke firmly "Jinks back off. The doctor admitted what he told you are the truth. So doctor leave the room and tell no one of this admittance period."
He glared at the doctor who without a word left the room shutting the door to find Jinks flaring Human blue eyes with an angry look in them while glaring at him in some narrowed eyed look.
Tom willed aside the Master and spoke firmly "Not in front of Kayra. She shouldn't be seeing you doing anything bad despite you in the mood to do it."
He frowned as Jinks formed his familiar all black eyed look in a glare aimed at him who raised a hand as he felt himself choking mentally willed forwards the Banshee to speak mentally "Shield."
He found himself able to breathe as he kept finding himself still choked kept up the shield command till there was a door knocking sound heard which he willed aside the Banshee as Jinks stopped the choking maneuver and all black eyed look.
He sighed to find Kayra asleep on him to figure out that Jinks must have willed her to sleep as he eyed the door to find a female doctor entering the room who spoke "I have a confession from a doctor I'm not going to name that some family who had a grudge against you Mr. Montreal paid him handsomely to treat your daughter nasty such as attempts to get her head shaved of all of its hair I blocked that from happening repeatedly."
Tom spoke sensing Jinks wasn't going to talk "Ugh. Thanks for telling us. Will there be any action done against that doctor for that bribery scheme?"
He frowned as a nurse darted into the room speaking loudly "Doctor Mayorga quick! You’re wanted in Doctor Jones's office! We have a medical situation on our hands there!"
He frowned as the doctor spoke "Excuse me!"
Tom watched as the doctor left the room with the nurse shutting the door with a gentle slam which he spoke before Jinks could comment "Sounds to me that someone overheard that doctor's confession and did something bad medically to that doctor in question."
He eyed Jinks who gave him an all black eyed glare in response to find himself choked again which he willed forwards the Banshee to mentally speak the shield command to find Barry appearing in a light show gagging Jinks' throat by a hand onto it who quit choking him.
He willed aside the Banshee to hear from Barry speaking firmly "I have invested an interests in Verona Vander due to being aware of her being part of the Hettinger family. My interests in the Hettinger family runs deeper than you imagine Jinks so back off on ruining my plans. Let me handle the Hettinger family and their silly grudge against you from now on. I'll handle seeing that justice is served to them once I see fit to have that happen once the time is appropriate for it so back off on the Hettinger family now Jinks or else."
Tom eyed Jinks who stopped flaring his all black eyed look and raised his hands in a surrender gesture to see Barry release him before thrusting a finger in his direction and speaking "I suggest you explain the High Council's thinking when it comes to manipulating people to Jinks so excuse me I'm wanted elsewhere."
He saw Barry disappear in a flash of light without saying Builder chatter sighed softly and spoke "The High Council have pulled stunts onto people as in raising them up high in position of power or social circles before publicity humiliating them via some other people doing it enough to bring them down and out of position their in."
He heard a growl from Jinks to see the male flaring his familiar all black eyed look making him gulp recalling the High Council admitting on playing such a trick onto the male himself in presence of Jinks' son Robert with him there after the male's son refused to budge on accusing the group of pulling stunts like it onto people.
Tom spoke "Alright the High Council admitted to your male offspring in my presence that they played such a stunt onto you. They admitted that due to your male offspring refused to budge from their attempts to drop his accusation aimed at them. He managed to outwit numerous stunts they pulled onto him in order to get him to drop that accusation. This included outwitting their attempts to play that familiar raise a person high stunt then kick them down once their high enough to humiliate them. He managed to figure that out unsure of how he did it and threw that accusation aimed at the High Council and outwitted their attempts to get him to drop the subject to the point that they outright admitted it period."
He clamped his mouth shut while hearing Jinks giving off his growl sound in a louder tone sensing the male was furious with what he said willed forwards the Master and spoke "Jinks quit that angry mood now. Its not doing anything for you but making situations worse. Stop it now and start thinking straight on what your supposed to be doing."
He frowned while eyeing Jinks who spoke "I can't quit the anger. The Rakcar found Shadan and is firing their planet killer's weapons onto it despite being in some space battle with the fleet at the moment. Their still firing their weapon despite the High Council communicating via public broadcast that they have taken residence on the planet."
Tom stiffened hearing Jinks' voice sounding of White Shadow to him as Jinks appeared to be forming a far away look on his face who he eyed warily. He frowned as he saw Jinks grit his teeth followed raising his left hand in his eyes' view to stare at it before fisting it in a fast move. He found Jinks repeated the hand fisting three times he realizing was destroying the Rakcar's planet killer's asteroid from causing damage to the planet. Tom eyed Jinks who stopped the hand's fisting to bent down groaning loudly while sounding in pain to him before straightening up his form showing Human blue eyes with anger in them.
He willed aside the Master while eyeing Jinks warily who spoke sounding angry to him "Blast Lance. Can't he honestly admit on who's the one who's counted on to protect Shadan from disasters such as some asteroid attempting to crash into the planet? I'm sick and tired of having to find out about what abilities mental or physical I have I don't know of before by either being manipulated or by accident of them taking control of me. I'm fed up with Lance not being honest on this abilities bit whenever I confront him on them. He always pulls some lying excuse into my face at face to face meetings and has managed to drop the subject every time I bring it up to him. I'm angry all the time due to never knowing when some undiscovered ability will manifest and take control of me either by accident or by manipulation of people doing stunts onto me. Its annoying. "
Tom sighed softly hearing Jinks' words as he sensed Kayra wake up hearing her babble the Dada word again which he looked down eyeing her to hear from her speaking Summeran to his shock "Mama wants to wake up but some wall block her."
He eyed Jinks in response to see the male flare his familiar look going to Victoria putting a hand on her forehead only to hear from Kayra "Dada wake Mama up wall too much for Grampa to break."
He frowned as he eyed Jinks in response who shook his head showing Human blue eyes and gave him a glare which he sighed and got up from the bed still carrying Kayra to put her on top of Victoria's stomach who sat up eyeing him. Tom sighed and willed forwards the Banshee to place a hand onto Victoria's forehead to mentally spoke his mind reveal command to see Victoria caged in a glass box banging onto it while looking panicky and having the Master in control from her black eyes seen. He went to the box mentally and thrust a fist into it feeling his strength not enough to break it. He sensed a presence within him in Victoria's mind to find a familiar plant he figured was one of the Meritanians thrust their fronds onto the box in some hard move cracking it apart and kept up the thrusting till the box was completely cracked which Victoria fisted her way out.
Tom found himself withdrawing from Victoria's mind as if compelled to blink his eyes hearing her gasping loudly before hearing her speak "The Meritanians broke the wall trapping me within my mind actually."
He removed his hand to will aside the Banshee to gently hold one of Victoria's hands who squeezed it in response.
He eyed Victoria who put a hand on Kayra's shoulder who spoke in Summeran "Mama."
He heard a gasp from Victoria gently squeezed her hand to hear nothing else from Kayra but a yawning sound finding his daughter lying her form down onto her Mother and sleeping appearing to conk out at the moment which her Mother wrapped an arm around her.
Tom frowned as Ramses blared within his mind seeing Jinks giving him a glare "Anyway Mindbender care to admit what you saw from Horus hmm? The High Council had Lance in their presence that’s currently in his tube vehicle transported to there so he won't hear this. They sensed nothing about destroying those asteroids as those First Ones call them from Lance so talk on what you've seen from Horus now."
Tom groaned softly and mentally spoke in response "This hoodlum with the gonoid named White Shadow was taking control of Jinks due to sounding twin to him when I whined about him being angry and he complained of what was going on off planet to me. He also acted like he used Jinks' body to destroy the asteroids due to Jinks bending down groaning in pain once they were all destroyed and not having this Master ability in control once done with the destruction."
He stopped talking to frown eyeing Jinks to sensing the Meritanian had stopped scanning him to find the male speaking sounding annoyed in White Shadow's voice to his shock while having the Master in control "What did the Meritanian want due to sensing him talking to you?"
Tom heard groans from Victoria followed by her speaking "Ugh quit the takeover of Dad now. That voice is creeping me out actually."
Tom stared at Victoria while dropping his mouth open as he shifted to look at Jinks who spoke sounding of White Shadow to him "Edenia doesn't trust the High Council to keep their word or obey her orders. They broke her trust with the lie of the Human race being a mistake born on Edenia when their actually the oldest of all manoid species and their planet Earth as its called was actually the source of Edenia's creation including the creation of all manoid species that came from that moon world actually."
He heard Victoria groan loudly as he continued to eye Jinks who spoke still using White Shadow's voice tone "Besides Lance has been trying to summon Edenia to send someone to keep an eye onto the High Council who the group won't suspect on doing that watching. The Meritanians know of this watching but their honor oath to keep this fact to themselves. I can't explain what the honor oath is actually for I'm honor oath not to talk about it as oath to the Meritanians that I wouldn't say what it is. Besides Victoria has been aware of me taking over her Father's body to help him out of situations from time to time who leaves a side effect of being angry all the time including manifestation of new abilities after each takeover has been done as his reward for cooperating with the takeovers."
Tom gulped hearing that as Jinks stopped flaring all black eyes to show them Human looking who spoke sounding of not White Shadow to him "Yah I know of what was said to you. I can see everything happening anyway. I put in that request being blind in situations regarding certain abilities taking control of me. I wanted to know what was going on to start thinking straight for myself instead of pestering people with questions on what the situation was after I threw one of those abilities in their faces that made me unaware of anything around me. The request was honored so I'm fine with what's going on anyway."
Epilogue:
Nikolai ended tale by snarling “Who am I?”
He got nothing in response but told an order “You’re to keep telling us tales of Tom Mindbender now.”
Nikolai realized to himself at the time “I’m not going to get an answer to my question fully on who is I. Sucks to the High Council anyway. I might as well leave.”
End Tale of Nikolai telling High Council.
