Young Justice: Red-Eclipse

Chapter 9

I later awoke to find myself in a dim lit room I looked around to see someone treating my wounds I was too weak to keep my eyes open and passed back out. I awoke again and saw the same person next to me it was an old man. "Where am I?" "Ah, you're awake welcome back to the world of the living Arctora'hm." I quickly got up and pinned the old man to the nearest wall. "How do you know my identity!?" I whisper-screamed as I began to ready a dark matter dagger in my hand.

"Calm down, my name is Ace the Master of NanoTech. I had my nanites treat your wounds and I know your name because you're a legend in the future." "What do you mean in the future?" "I should explain but first would you mind dissipating that dark matter dagger?" I searched his eyes and decided to let him go and dissipate my dark matter dagger. "Talk." I commanded coldly. "You're a legend in my time well, dimensional time period." "What do you mean by a dimensional time period?" "So essential in the near future during your final battle you somehow transcend dimensions and ended in mine dimension you and Crystallis become a legend the other a miracle in my time you both inspired me to be so much more."

"Final battle?" "Can't say much more than what I just divulged to you. But what I can tell is that I can help you focus your powers don't worry your friends are fine too by the way." "Good I'm glad...Can I start my training now?" "If you feel you're ready we shall begin the internal training." "Sure." "Follow me to the training grounds." As I followed Ace to the training grounds I saw this tall bulky man with a long Norse like beard long auburn red hair and a two headed axe strapped to his back and scar across his left eye and a tattoo of a snake wrapped around a shield on his bare chest. "You must be the young man I've heard so much about from Joan and Jackson." He walked up to me and he seemed to be 7'8 and he held out his hand I was still in shock.

I finally gained my composure and I went to shake his hand that's when his grip got tighter and I was sent flying. I screamed in surprise as I caught myself mid air and skid across the ground. "What the hell!" "Hell isn't going to be your savior it's going to be me! The Purgatory-Storm! he bellowed as he gave a hearty slight chuckle. (This energy it's completely different from the other two who is he?) Purgatory-Storm dashed forward I readied myself when he swung for a wild left hook I was readying myself to counter when he quickly changed at the last minute and he kicked me in the gut I gasped for air as I fell to my knees.

"Ho-How is this supposed to help me control my hidden power?" "Foolish Child! to learn to control your inner power you must control your inner demons all that hate, anger, sorrow, happiness all spews out in one energy it grants you amazing and immense strength and power but you deteriorate your body in the process hence your broken ribs and your blurry vision." "H-How do you know that?" "Your breathing is becoming labored we will end this small training session here."

Purgatory-Storm turned his back as he began to walk away his opened cape- jacket clapping from the small gust of wind. "D-Don't turn your back on me! I'm not done yet!" I got up and charged at Purgatory-Storm only to feel my entire body lock up and I began to collapse but not on the ground but into what I assume is Purgatory-Storms arms. "Next time listen to me. Foolish child." Purgatory-Storm said slightly with interest as he picked up Arctora'hm and began to carry him back to his room.
