Chapter CXLIV: Boy or Beast? ~Sheko

Havering walked through the door and entered the guest car. He looked over to see Kyanosa talking to the others. Pseudo clenched a fist at his failed summoning.

He thought to himself, “Though Ian gave me that little shock, it’s not nearly enough to unleash my potential.” He waved his hands a bit. “But perhaps it was enough to make a successful summoning. Yes, I’ll give it one last shot…and then I’ll have him beat on Kyanosa for fun.”

Havering began to wave his hands in front of him once again, followed by deep chanting. All of the others in the car just gave him a blank look.

“Well look at this, he’s gonna summon another yo-yo slinging human,” Ratch said with a grin.

“I bet I could out yo-yo him,” Kyanosa added.

C.R. gave a hesitated look at Havering, “He seems more concentrated then before.”

A purple aura surrounded Pseudo as his chanting went faster before, he was confident in himself. At first the light in the car dimmed then seemed to focus on a point near the ceiling of the car. Suddenly a flash of light ripped through the air like paper and the rip spread and opened. A blue white light shone from a vortex that appeared from the rip. Due to the energy radiated from the rip and the color of the vortex, it was a door of time. Now the group in the car was a bit worried.

“Um, is that gonna get any bigger?” Jade seemed to ask everyone.

Scilas looked as calm as ever and simply stared at the dazzling light show.

Havering reached the end of his spell and the vortex splashed with light and rippled uncontrollably. A tunnel could be seen in the center and something was coming through it, a shadowy figure. The Spectrum shuttered from the rip in time. Pseudo gave a final word and closed his hands as a person flew from the vortex and hit the ground hard with the rip closing behind him.

Everyone stared in awe while Havering had his eyes close and arms crossed, “Ha, I’m not too rusty with my spells after all.”

He could hear chuckling and snickering. Pseudo opened his eyes to see a boy in a black trench coat, ripped black shorts and a white t-shirt under the coat.

Havering quivered in anger, “Where…is…my…BEAST?!”

Mazzic simply pointed at the boy, “There he is, with the strength of three toddlers.”

The boy with messy blonde hair looked around the car, “Uh, where am I?”

No one seemed to acknowledge the newcomer.

C.R. looked at Havering, “How is it you managed to screw up two spells? Maybe you’re deader than I thought.”

“I didn’t screw up! My power is limitless! This is just…a…well it’s obviously some sort of super boy!”

Havering wanted to kick his own butt for saying such a stupid thing.

“A super boy?” Ian was holding back a laugh as he walked into the car. “What’s going on?”

“Havering tried to summon a beast, but all he got was a human,” Ratch waved a hand.

“Hello?” The kid waved a hand at everyone, “Where am I?”

Rain stepped forward, “Hello, welcome to the Spectrum, we are currently in space.”

He held out a hand.

“Spectrum? Space? Talking lizard? @#%$ time traveling…” He thought for a second, “Sorry,” he took Rain’s hand and shook it, “My name is Sheko, and you are?”

“Name’s Rainstorm Yoshi.”

“Nice to meet you, who’re all these other people?”

“Well, you’ll get to meet them soon enough.”

Pseudo looked at Sheko, “Well maybe some good can come out of this, let’s see if I can kill him in one shot.”

“Whoa now, what’s your problem?” Sheko glared at Havering.

“He’s British,” Kyanosa said from a corner of the car.

C.R. looked at Pseudo, “Leave the boy alone, it’s your fault he’s here.”

“But look at him: he’s just some worthless human, dead weight!”

Kyanosa grinned in satisfaction as he was about to prove Havering wrong, “He’s not human, nor is he worthless either.”

“What the hell are you talking about?” Havering growled at Kyanosa.

Kyanosa stepped over to Sheko and took a good look at him, “Look at his eyes, they’re gold. His build, he has greater strength then a normal human.”

“So he’s got strange eyes and he’s a little strong, so what?”

Sheko coughed a bit, “Well, there’s a bit more to me. You said you tried to summon a beast, well some could say you succeeded.”

Sheko closed his eyes and some wind kicked up, a bright flash was given off and in the place of Sheko, was a werewolf. The same height as Sheko, but his build was much more muscular then before. His trench coat and shirt was gone, he only had his shorts which were a tight fit on his legs. There were metal gauntlets on both his arms. Sheko had dark blue fur and white fur on his under belly, back of his legs and the underside of his arms. His eyes glowed a bright yellow.

“Well, a beast you are, but to the council you’re a puppy.” Havering snorted.

Sheko was about to speak but was stopped by Rain, “Don’t listen to him, he’s always like that.”

Sheko nodded and in a flash reverted to his original form.

“I understand.”

C.R. came over and shook Sheko’s hand, “Welcome aboard!”

“Thanks…but, what exactly are we doing?”

The whole crew, even the Spectrum, seemed to sigh in unity.
