Jake: Untold Secrets Part 2

“ Raven! You can’t do this!” shouted the Cougar Morpher who was now tied to a chair in the middle of Professor Raven’s room. “ Oh, shut up.” replied Professor Raven. She then punched him in the face which made him fall unconscious instantly. My friends and I were now seated on the two couches as we waited for the Professor to turn her attention to us. Once she did, I took the opportunity to try and explain ourselves. “Professor, I can explain. It’s not what you think.” I said. The Professor had seen us with the key that was being looked for by the FIVE. Not only that, but she also saw Twilight and I use our powers. She must’ve known by now, but there was no problem in trying. “ That you and your twin over there are Empyrean Bloods? Yeah, I already knew that.” replied the Professor. “ Wait a minute, you knew? How?” asked Twilight. We were all shocked as to how she knew. Did one of my friends tell her? No, they would never do that. “ I know a lot more than you think,” said the Professor. “ I know why the FIVE is holding your father captive. I know why they wanted you two when you were just little babies. I know everything.” she continued. “ What!? Do you have something to do with this?” I asked. “ I would, but not anymore. I gave up that life a long time ago.” she replied. “ What life are you talking about?” asked Rachel. “ Were you in the FIVE too?” asked Isaac. “ Isaac, are you listening to yourself right now?” Michael asked. That was such an obvious question. Of course she wasn’t. That wouldn’t make sense. “ Not exactly, but you see this guy over here. His name is Nathan, my younger brother.” said the Professor. “ What? This just keeps getting weirder by the minute.” said Isaac. “ And what does that have to do with anything?” I asked. “ King Denver not only holds your father captive, but he also has a lot of other people under his control.” she said. “ Hypnosis.” said Rachel. “ Yeah, hypnosis. He’s controlling a lot of people using it. Just for his own gain.” said Professor Raven. “ People like who?” asked Twilight. “ People like the FIVE, the castle guards, and a few civilians like my brother Nathan as assassins. I used to be an assassin, but I was soon let go because even hypnosis couldn’t work on my rebellious nature.” she replied. “ Forget about that. What do they plan on doing with our father? And how did you know so much about our kind?” I questioned. “ Before we could be hypnotized to be his assassins, they would teach us everything we needed to know, like training. And since they recently found out that your father was an Empyrean Blood, they kidnapped him. They want to hypnotize him so he can do their will.” replied the Professor. “ And their will is…?” asked Denzel who was quiet all this time. “ Do you know the legend of the war between us and Divine Beings combined against Demons?” said the Professor. “ Yeah, Netherbeasts ended up gaining control over a powerful being which was once commanded by Demons.” said Isaac. “ Do you know what the powerful being was?” asked the Professor. “ Dragon. It was a Dragon wasn’t it?” asked Twilight. “ How did you know, nobody but the Royal family knows.” said the Professor. Isaac was right, this just kept getting weirder and weirder by the minute. “ I… I heard this voice a few months ago. It said ‘ He who commands the Dragon. Commands them all. For the Alpha has risen from the ashes of his own fire.’. Do you know what it might mean?” said Twilight. “ I’m afraid I do. Whoever commands the Dragon, will be the true leader of the Supernaturals. And I mean all Supernaturals. And that’s the reason King Denver wants the Dragon. To be the most powerful Supernatural there is.” said  the Professor. “ Then why doesn’t he get it himself!? Why destroy happy families just for his own selfish gain!?” asked Isaac as his eyes started to fill up with tears ready to burst. Michael put his arm around Isaac, comforting him so he didn’t feel even worse. “ He needed them. He needed the FIVE and everyone else just to find the last Empyrean Bloods which was your family. First your grandmother took her life to protect the beast which was the dragon, then your grandfather died getting his family to safety away from King Denver, and the rest of the race just disappeared.  That is why he needed you guys. He needs you three. Only an Empyrean Blood can activate the key’s powers, only an Empyrean Blood can command the Dragon, only an Empyrean Blood…can give him the powers he needs to command the Dragon.” said Professor Raven. That was just selfish of him, too selfish. Who knows how many families he’d ruined just for his own gain. “ How can he do that? Don’t you have to be born an Empyrean Blood to be one?” I asked. “ Yeah, you do. That part I don’t know how he’s going to do it. But one thing I do know is he can only do it if the person is under hypnosis. If your father refuses to submit then beware, you’re next.” replied the Professor. “ But we’re not just going to let them keep our father hostage like that. And we’re certainly not going to let him keep his control over the innocent people of Encers.” I said as I stood up from the couch and glanced over at Isaac. He knew that this was a promise to set his and everyone else's loved ones free from the King’s control. “ But if father does submit then… what do we do?” asked Twilight, worriedly. “ Don’t worry, Twily. I have a strong gut feeling that our father won’t be so easy to break. We just have to free him at the earliest.” I said. “ And now that we know exactly what the King’s plan is, we can devise a plan to go to Dafrole. And we might need some help with this, Professor. It’s been weeks and we couldn’t come up with anything.” said Rachel. If Rachel didn’t know then we all definitely didn’t. “ The key is your answer. The key itself is what you can use to open a portal to Dafrole. When you’re going to go is the real problem here. Listen, come tomorrow and I would’ve arranged something by then. And thought of a place to keep my stupid brother.” said Professor Raven. “ Why are you helping us? It just doesn’t make any sense. Not that I don’t appreciate your help and all but we just want to know.” I asked. I didn’t want to be backstabbed and lose the chance to save my father as well as Isaac's father, along with other innocent lives. “ Trust me you lot. Why would I hit my own brother so brutally just for the sake of a lie? Just come tomorrow and I’ll help you guys. I don’t want to see my brother in this state. I want my brother back as well.” replied the Professor. I had no other choice than to accept her help. I could take any risk for the sake of my loved ones. “ Fine, we’ll head back to our dorms. It’s getting late.” I said.  We then left the Professor’s room and went back to our dorms. I couldn’t believe this, Professor Raven knew all this time and we had absolutely no idea. She knew so much. I just hoped it would help, if she was really telling the truth.
