Chapter XX

Charlie shot a beam of energy into Bob and Bob got up.

"I am Bob," he roared. Then Bob noticed Isaac on the stadium. Bob clanked and roared at Isaac. Isaac simply just shot water at Bob and formed his serpent, which coiled around Bob. Bob couldn't move at all.

"I am Bob," Bob clanked in distress, struggling to get out of the grip of the serpent.

"This is, um. Cosmo give me a name," said Isaac looking over to me.

"For what? Your snake-thing," I asked him.

"Yeah," he yelled back over Bob's clanking.

"Oh, I dunno," I said.

"Bob, this is Idontknow," said Isaac, "he doesn't like suits of armor."

"I am Bob," roared Bob angrily.

"I know you are," said Isaac as Idontknow wrapped around and squeezed Bob even more. The suit of armor got completely crushed and then went limp.

"That was shorter than expected," said Charlie. The crowd was quiet. Nobody cheered for Isaac. Isaac slowly walked off the stadium sulking.

"Well, now we have our last initiate, Cosmo," yelled Charlie as the crowd started to roar.

"But I can't do anything," I yelled to Charlie.

"I don't care. Grab a sword or something," he yelled at me. I looked for a sword and quickly picked one out and ran to the stadium. Why did I run, well because the crowd started to throw rocks at me.

"Ok, let's get ready to," Charlie paused, "is that the sword."

"I think so," said Barg from the bleachers.

"Am I holding something important," I said as the crowd got really quiet.

"Yes," said Charlie. "That is the creator sword. Only the master creators can hold it."

"I still don't really know what a 'creator' is," I said doing air-quotes.

"You'll find out soon," said Charlie. "That wraps up our battles, I know it's anti-climactic, but you have to deal with it.

"Especially you guys up there," Charlie added.

"Who is he talking to," I asked myself. Charlie just stared at the sky.

"Are we there yet," said Louie for the hundredth time.

"Shut up Louie," said Drake. And they continued driving.

"Why is he looking at me. What's going on. I can feel him looking into my soul. This, this isn't cool," said the guy in space.

"He's looking past us Joe," said the other guy.

***

"I know someone's there," yelled Charlie. "You think we're just words, don't you."

"Charlie shut up," I said looking up. "There is nobody there."

Charlie just stared.
