Ancient Evils, New Heros

Part 17

Everyone was looking for Pacifica. Time was dwindling, Pacifica was inching closer to death’s door. CJ and Sal were looking around the school and inside it. Tyler and Drake were in the park looking for her. Bryce, Christy, and Bryce's father were looking with her parents. Ash and Alyssa were wandering around town.

Tyler and Drake first went to the part that was near their school. It wasn't a big park, just some slides and stuff.

“Well, she's not here.” Drake said, annoyed. Out of everyone, he really didn't want to find the girl that was supposedly his girlfriend. Tyler placed a hand on his shoulder

“Dude, calm down. Let's think. Pacifica loves to look at herself in the mirror a lot, maybe she is at a beauty product store or something.” Drake thought about it.

“Maybe, but if her state is as bad as it is, maybe she would rather stay away from people.” Tyler nodded.

“That's also true.” Tyler sat on a swing and started thinking. He was trying to think of places she could be, but a different thought came to his mind. He wanted to dismiss it, but he started thinking it over. Drake noticed that he was lost in thought.

“This is why you do my bio homework.” Drake said. Tyler stood up.

“I… I think I have something. What if Pacifica is trying to die?” Drake was shocked at that question and just stared at Tyler, wide eyed.

“What do you mean? Who in their right mind wants to die?”

“I mean what if Scarlet promised something to Pacifica and dying is the only way to get it.” Tyler started thinking more. “Like, Pacifica was given one power. It must be a strong power. Kate had multiple powers, the power seemed to be split among the different powers. Maybe, and this is a maybe cause I don’t know how Gods and Goddesses work, but she might become a goddess when she dies.” Drake wanted to say it was stupid but like Tyler, he also knew next to nothing on them. He could be right.

“Alright, let's say that is what happens. What then? We won’t be able to stop her, we don’t even know her power.” Drake folded his arms. “We are only human.” Tyler pulled his phone out of his pocket. He started to pull something up on his phone. His eyes were scanning the phone for what he had to find. He found it and showed it to Drake. It was plans for something.

“This is how we’ll stand up to the Gods. If we can’t protect the Earth you can be damn sure we’ll avenge it.” Tyler finished talking. Drake looked at him.

“Quoting Tony? Really?” Drake asked. Tyler nodded. “Anyway, what is it? The plans here.” Drake couldn’t make any of it out.

“Well, it’s something I’ve been working on. Ash can’t do this alone and we can’t just watch from the shadows.” Drake pieced it together.

“You want to become a vigilante?” Tyler shook his head no.

“No, I want all of us to form a team.” Drake took the phone and put it in his pocket.

“We will probably die.”

“I know.” Drake shrugged.

“Alright, I’ll join this team. I want a damn sword though.”

“Alright, deal.” Tyler’s phone started to ring. Drake answered the phone quickly.

“What is it?” The voice on the phone said they found Pacifica and hung up. “Dude, CJ found Pacifica. Let’s go!” Drake and Tyler sprinted towards CJ and Sal.

Bryce, his father, and Christy were driving around with Pacifica’s parents. Both were nice and caring people. Both had blonde hair which Pacifica did have. Pacifica had her dad’s brown eyes though while her mother had green eyes. They had been driving around and asking people if they had seen Pacifica, but something was up. They all had the same response.
