Fletcher woke up to noises caused in the kitchen. He sat up to see Numica frying something. He couldn't see what, her back was too him. He sat up. She had his apron on.
"What are you doing?" He asked politely. She jumped in the sudden sound. She turned around.
"Oh didn't mean to wake you up, sorry." She said. She had made some eggs with some greens.
"I didn't know that you can cook." He said. She shook her head.
"Eggs is basically the only thing I can cook, besides vegetables." She said. After a couple of minutes, all six plates where full. He took them to Venus, Nova, Isa, and the camendor. Who was still sleeping. He knocked, when he got no answer, he opened the door. She was still in the same position as Fletcher left her. The only thing that separated her from looking dead, was the slow and steady rise and fall of her chest. She was very pretty now that Fletcher saw her better.
"You going after her now?" He turned to see Nova at the doorway. She chuckled.
"You know how to mind you own business." He scolded. She put her hands up in innocents.
"Okay Okay, no peeking." She said and covered her eyes. He rolled his eyes. He turned to face the camendor. He put his hand on her forehead. He closed his eyes. He saw a symbol that was shifting. A voice spoke.
"External damage, zero. Internal damage, zero. Illness, over exhausted. Emotional, adequate." It spoke. Around him, on the floor, the same pentagram was glowing voilet and blue. His clothes where pushed up, as if gravity had changed direction. His black hair turned a slight hew of navy. He slowly closed his eyes. He chanted,
"Invasion." Tiny particles where racing through her blood stream, eliminating the sickness. She was okay now. She slowly opened her eyes. She looked around to see an unfamiliar room. Her eyes stopped on Fletcher. She blushed a bit. For some reason she looked...cute?
Just a yesterday her faced was overflowing with pride, and anger. She looked different today.
"What happend?" She said, and touched her head as if dizzy.
"You crashed in our front yard, made a huge creater, and passed out before you could explain." Nova said angrily. Venus and Isa came into the room, attracted by the noise. The camendor bowed her head in shame.
"Sorry." She mumbled.
"'sorry' isn't going to cover it!" She said again. Before Nova could say anything else, Fletcher put his right hand up, silencing the yelling.
"Even if it is a misunderstanding, why would she have gotten sick? I think she had bad-enough thought, that it actually made her sick." He speculated.
"You joking, right? You cant seriously forgive her." She pointed at her. Her head still bowed.
"I forgived you." He said. Good point. He turned to her. He some-what smiled. He pointed at the food.
"It'll get cold." She grabbed the fork, and popped some food in her mouth. She covered her mouth with her hands after tasting the food. It was then when he noticed small black spots on the eggs. They had gone bad. He had forgotten to restock yesterday because of the all the comation. He grabbed the plate from her hands.
"You dont need to eat it." He said. She blushed. For the next 10 seconds, everthing seemed to go in slow motion. The camendor shot herself foreword in the direction of Fletcher. For a nearly 8 seconds, her lips hugged his. She had her eyes closed, while Fletcher stood there in panic. Huge gasps sucked out all the air out of the room. After the moment, Fletcher stood aghast of what just happened. It was his first...bonding time with a girl. He started to blush a little.
"I hope we can get along." She said. She was blushing scarlet from her eyes down to her neck. Despite that, she still went to hug him. He couldn't back away, he was still shocked.
"WHAT!!!" The girls yelled, loud enough that it shook the house.
"YOUR BLUSHING?" Venus yelled, he was still raped in the girls arms.
"NO!" He managed to say, while he was being crushed in a bear hug.
"YOU TOTALLY ARE!" Numica yelled.
Why are they so mad? He thought to himself. He backed away, and slammed himself in the room. He had to process what had happened. He layed on his bed, back against the mattress. He put his wrist to his forehead, reflecting what had happened. But it would take way to long to do that, so he left his room.

"La-la-la-la." The camender radiated happiness, Fletcher found that her name was Victoria. She skipped along the big walkway of the mall. She was tugging at his arm.
"Oh-lets go to that one next!" She said and pointed to a clothing shop. Fletcher had been forced to go here, because the girls didn't get a chance to buy cloths last time. They had dropped it when there where materialised, and shot to the house for protection. The girls behind him where shooting daggers at his back. He just had to bare it for a little while longer.
"Alright, but make it quick." He instruct. Even through she was his height, taller then the other girls, she could still seem like such a child. She made a solute. She marched in.
"I don't think Fletcher came here for our protection." Isa said.
"Ha-ha-ha. Very funny." He said. He got her meaning.
"I can't believe she was bold enough to do that." He heard whispers coming from the huddle that the girl's made in between themself. He glared and they immediately looked up. After the, incident, Victoria has been in a extremely good mood.
"Fletcher!" He heard a yell from the store. He walked inside. He came to a stop infront of a changing station.
"Need anything?" He asked. His voice nonchalant.
"How do I look?" Victoria said, the curtain parted to reveal her in a dress. It was navy with purple flowers. It looked nice, but Fletcher was never a good complimenter.
"Well." He managed to say.
"So much emotion." She sarcastically said.
"We dont have time for this trival shopping." He said.
"What are you taking about? I dont see any rush." She said. He walked out of the store without saying anything else. He knew that the skylanders are going to do somsthing, and soon. They won't tolerate what he did. They are prideful, and by walking past there gates, he wounded that very same pride. He walked it off, clearing his head. The girls where getting smoothies, he joined. But he didn't have time, as the floor turned a color of green. He could hear gasps around him. He looked up to see a huge spell. It was green, a barrier. He ran into the store and grabbed Victoria. He ran and grabbed the girls. He tried to snap, but someone must have been blocking the commend. They had mages with them. That wasn't good.
"Evebody stay still!" He heard someone yell. Fletcher needed to know who it was, they where six in total, all seemes of a high ranking. A small portal appeared infront of him, Fletcher extended his arm in it, and pulled out with a small circle object that had a lense in the middle. He looked through it and saw it. He was using a power level of 2,000, but all of his six opponents, had a levels of 10,000. He had to turn it up, but that may cause horrible destruction.
"We come looking for Fletcher the fourth." One yelled. She seemed like the leader. She was taller then Fletcher, and had long black hair, all of them did, but all of them had in a different style. Fletcher stepped up.
"Yes, thats me." He said. She narrowed her eyes, and smiled. She disappeared.
She's fast! He thought, his thoughts where interrupted by the sword that was sticking through his chest. He choked out blood.
"You need to be eliminated." She said.
"Oww, you stole all the fun." One of the other girls winned.
"Better off, we where told that he's extremely powerful." Another said.
"And so much for that, he's dead." Another said. Fletcher was tossed aside like he was nothing. He put his limiter as high as he needed to. .5% the highest he has since he met Venus.
"Don't go and be making stuff up." He said. Fletcher had a smirk on, it was a bit out of character. He doesn't smirk like that. He looked directly at them.
"Miss with me, and suffer the consequences." He said. "Death."
All of them burst out laughing.
"You, kill one of us?" More laughter.
"Your no match for me alone." The leader said. She was also laughing. He narrowed his eyes on her.
He lifted one arm, the leader lifted with it. Violet light spread throughout her body. She was horizontally suspended in the air, she couldn't move.
"I'm trying to talk." He said. The other looked serious now. One of them dashed towards him. This time, he could see her. He dodged, and kicked backwards, hitting her face, making her fly. She crushed through a wall, and landed in a store. By this time, all the people where out of the mall, all of them where against the outer wall of there barrier, but they where far enough to be unabled to see what was going on. Fletcher let the leader go. She fell to the ground. Another was right on his toes. She was going for punches, but Fletcher kept dodging. Once she hesitated for a second, Fletcher came in and punched her upwords. He jumped and did it again but sidewas. He kept punching and moving in different directions, until she slammed into one of her pers. She got knocked unconscience. The others had worried faces.
"Not so strong now? What happened to all that talk?" He said sarcastically.
"I-" one of them bagain.
"I don't care." He said and snapped his fingers. Tiny little sword like weapons appeared suspended in the air. They hurled to her like needles. She put up a barrier, and some stopped but after a couple, her shield broke and three hit her. She dropped to one knee. The leader was getting up. Fletcher quickly ducked because he sensed something thrown at him. He turned to see, the one he kicked, threw a spear. She had blood on her head. Her hand was outstretched, then she clinched her fists. He ducked at the sign for the spear to return. As he thought, the spear shot above him, landing perfectly on her hand.
"Ahh!" He heard screaming behind him. The leader was right there. He dodged and backed away. She dashed forward again. She was fast, he needed a weapon. He put his arms out, within seconds, Exculiber was in the action. The swords clashed in the middle. The swords where shaking, Fletcher looked into her eyes.
"Your not half bad." He said. He kicked upwards. She spat out blood. He punched at her head, making her fly back to where she started. She was tougher. Fletcher turned to look at spear girl. She was panting, and spitting out blood. He dashed infront of her, and touched her forehead.
"Its going to be okay, dont worry." He said. He slapped her, but that small smack of the cheek sent her flying through a wall. He didn't sense her mana waves anymore. Most likely unconscience. Two knocked, four more to go. The one that the mini swords where jabbed into her chest, knee, and thigh, was hutched over vomiting out blood. Another one grabbed what looked like a crystal the size of her hand, and put it over her. The swords got pushed out, her wounds healed. She looked up at him, and narrowed her eyes. She disappeared. Fletcher looked around, but couldn't see her. He put ready a mana blast, and landed it on the floor. Big blocks of concrete lurched upwords, causing the ground to be uneven. He sensed her. He put up a paralysis spell, above him. She was right there. He hadn't intended to blind her, like she was thinking. But to bait her. She stood suspended in the air. He gripped her face, spun, and threw her with force. She blasted through two walls. Her mana waves disappeared. The leader even through was badly hurt, could still stand up.
Three down, three to go. He appeared directly in the middle of the triangle between the three. They all dashed to him. But he put up a small cube called perfect space, in between them. As they hit it, they got stuck inside it. He stepped out. He smiled. He put up his hand, a small blue flame appeared on it. He threw it inside, causing the whole inside to burst into flames. But it stopped as soon as it begain. He put down perfect space. The girls where still conscience, barly. He walked up to them. Small flames where on there bodies, too weak to move.
"So I would have thought that the skylands would stop annoying me all the danm time, but you people never learn. Unfurtanatly, I wasn't using even a fourth of my power, and I dont plan to in a while." He said. Their eyes widened.
"N-no way." One said.
"Thats impossible." Another argued.
He nodded.
"If you don't believe me, then thats on you." He said. He walked and went to the unconscience girls. He tapped there foreheads, making them disappear. He was sending them up to the skylands. He was trying to itemadate the skylands to stop sending them trouble. He hoped it worked. He tapped the foreheads of the reminder three, and snapped his fingers, making them disappear. The green barrier was still up. Thats a little strange, either one had a huge rage of mana, or somebody down here was causing the barrier. He walked out and did the thing that he hated to do the most. All the people where panicking. He tried to get there attention, and he did. He did a wide range memory erase. He hated to erase memories because he could feel all the information lost, never to be replaced. But on the other hand, he helped them forget something that they wouldn't want to remember. He went up to the barrier, and punched it. Making it shatter into small pieces. But the glass-like material disappeared befor it touched the ground. All the people ran. He found the girls waiting after the huge crowd to leave. He made sure it was them. They still had there bags hat they bought. He went up to the girls.
"Lets go home."
