Team Crafted: The Awakening

The Boy Who came Back to Life

Sky's breath caught in his throat, when he recognized the figure under the hood. He stumble back, tears streaked his cheeks.

The man before him looked coldly forward. When his eyes met Sky's his gaze softened. His eyes grew watery and he looked down.

"J-J-Jin?" Sky's voice barely came out in a hoarse whisper.

There was a long silence. When the man finally spoke his voice was deeper than Sky recognized, colder.

"So, it really is you."

The man's voice was emotionless, cold. It was as if the boy he once knew was no longer.

Ty could feel the power building up inside him. He held his breath, pushing with all his might. He suddenly felt a tearing. He screamed in agony as the wings ripped through his flesh. Wet with blood, they flung out of his shoulder blades. Horns molded themselves out of his head. He fell to his knees, gripping the moss as his hands turned black, slowly morphing into claws. His yowling cesed for a moment, letting him catch his breath, before a long tail began to poke out of his back. His eyes flickered purple, and he was pushed to the back of his mind.

Its my turn now, Ty!

Bodil, Simon, and Ghost stumbled back, leaning against the wall of their home. Horror filled their eyes as the creature began to stir. It slowly stood up, flinging its head up. It flew high into the sky and grinned down at them.

"Ah, Hello!" It grinned down at them.

"So you're little Ty's new friends!"

Bodil worked up enough courage to confront the beast.

"W-What do y-you m-m-mean?" He stuttered.

"What! Don't tell me he never told you where he came from!"

Bodil slowly shook his head.

"HahahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHaHAhaHahAhAhAhaHaHAHaahHahahA!"

Bodil's eyes widened as the laughter began to drip with insanity.

"Well it's simple," the thing started, "He's fro-"

The thing grabbed it's temples. It let out an earpiercing scream and fell to the ground in a writhing mess.

"No! Your not supposed to interfere!" It seemed to talk to itself.

Simon quickly disappeared into the house. Seconds later, he returned with a large metal pan. Shaking, he slowly crept towards the beast. Gathering all the strength inside, he bashed the creature on the head. It crumpled lifelessly to the ground. Simon gave a small sigh of relief.

A low growl rose from the creature. Simon dropped the pan with a clatter and stumbled back as the being slowly picked itself up. It grinned at maliciously at Simon. (Well, someone had to try! Sorry Simon!)

The cloaked figure stared through the crystal globe. The images swirled into her sight before the ball grew tranparent once more.

"No, no, no, no, no. No!!!" She murmered to herself, "This is all wrong! Ths shouldn't be happening!"

She stumbled back from the orb. Gasping, she ran to her window. The golden kingdom had been thriving only seconds ago. Looking now, it looked worn and tattered. The huge walls were in ruins and vines and moss tarnished the gold walls.

N-No!

She looked wildly around her as her reality crumpled before her.

I have to stop this! I must save history!
