Two Strands of Fortune

Season 1 Episode 28 - Study Date

[DYLAN'S POV]

I went over to my friend, Oliver's house for some help with my Natural Science studies.
"Okay, so what are the components of the heart?" Oliver asked.
"The components of the heart are..." I began.
"Yes..." Oliver motioned for me to continue with the sentenced.
"The left ventricle, the right ventricle..." I was clearly having difficulty following it up, "Ugh, its hopeless. It's official, I'm failing this test."
"Oh come on, you just started." Oliver shook his head.
"You know science isn't my thing." I sighed.
"Maybe, you should eat. You're cranky when you're hungry." he suggested.
"You know me too well." I playfully nudged him. We got up and walked out his bedroom and into the kitchen. Suddenly there was a loud explosion next to us.
"What was that?" We both stood back to back. "Dylan, are you sure this isn't that Pudor-guy again?"
"Specific identifications aren't really helping right now." I barked back at him. Suddenly, someone crashed down through the roof.
"Found you." It was Formido.
"What are you doing here?" I lowered my arms.
"Ivan isn't here, but someone near and dear to him is." He looked at me. "You."
"You're kidding, right?" I was in disbelief. "Okay that's actually creepy. Now, if you would excuse me, Oliver, I have a dog to put down." I inhaled and roared. "Ignis!" I transformed in an instant. I put my hand in front of Oliver. "For now, all you have to do is call Ivan. We might need him here."
"Don't you get tired of the same old song and dance?" Formido teased.
"Eh, I love a good old routine myself." I charged at him, sending him flying out of the glass windows. "Ivan could should have been here by now!" I looked back at Oliver.
"I can't really type a text while my house is being destroyed!" He was juggling his phone through the explosions.
Just as I was about to fry him to smithereens, Ivan and Alya landed next to me. "Right on time."
They were already transformed and were ready to help out. Alya pointed her hand at the recovering Formido. "Wind Cage!" She called as she created a vortex of wind that held Formido in place. She then looked over at Ivan. "He's all yours."
Ivan nodded and walked towards Formido and looked at him. "Look, buddy, I know you think that my fear makes me weak. Newsflash, it makes me human. Unlike you, I don't go for someone that my arch-nemesis loves. Honestly, that's low, even for you." He then latched onto Formido's head sending an energy wave through the area. A bright light flashed as dust blew around. When the light subsided, Formido was gone. Isaac then transformed into his new form.
"Alright!" I cheered.
Ivan turned around, held his hands out to the building behind us. Alya, Oliver and I knew it was our sign to move out of the way. He began to slowly close his hands until they were fully clenched. As he did this, the damage of done by Formido's attack. We watched in awe as Oliver's house was being rebuilt before our very eyes.
Alya folded her arms and pursed her lips. "Okay, enough showing off, hot shot."
Ivan turned around and gave us a thumbs-up.
