Chapter 20

"Suki....Suki..." Aki was whispering. He was standing over her bed, rocking her softly. "Its time to wake up, we have a long day ahead of us." Suki curled into the sheets. "I am no ones teddy bear." She said. Aki laughed, "What???" he said. Suki sprang up, then said, "Oh, sorry, I just had a really weird dream. It was all about these gunslingers... Anyways, whats going on? Why do we have to wake up so early???" Aki stood up and said, "Well, we have to move. They know where we live now, so we have to find a new place. We get to look for a house!!!" Aki was really excited, so Suki did not want to ruin his fun. She sprang out of bed, got dressed, and ran out the door with him. He then said, "Ready?" Suki said, "Sure! On the count of 3?" Aki grinned and said, "Yep! 3...2...1..." Both of them threw a fireball at their old apartment, burning it to the ground. They knew their neighbors all worked that day, so they didn't care. The insurance would find it to be their fault, but they just did a quick shapeshift and they were now two completely different people. "Where did you have in mind to move to? Its not like you to just get up and go with a feeling." Aki answered, "Well, I have heard about this one place. Its huge, and I guess alot of secret experiments go down there. So that would be the place to go to. I think they call it 'Texeese' or something like that." Suki laughed, "You mean Texas? Thats a state down south. Waayyyy down south." Aki grabbed her hand and said, "Looks like we have a long trip then, huh? Good thing we have all the money we need." He reached down and grabbed some more dirt. He turned it into thousands of hundred dollar bills. "How do you do that? I mean, changing something else appearance. I tried it before, but it turned into brown paper. The clerk looked at me as if I had just handed her some used toilet paper or something..." Aki laughed, and replied, "I don't really know. I have been able to do this for a while. I just concentrate on what I want it to turn into, and BAM! There it is!" Suki grabbed his hand and was just about to lean in and kiss him when they saw a man fall to the ground. He was wearing what appeared to be a burlap bag over his head as a hood, and was using a stick to walk on. The stick had slipped, and the old man fell with it. Suki and Aki rushed over to help the man up, when they realized who it was. "Ummm, what are you doing here?" It was The Prophet.

After they got on the airplane to start flying to Texas, they asked him again. "Whats going on?" The Prophet looked like he had been injured, but was hiding what that pain was. He spoke even more raspy than before. "Don't worry....About the information....Just stay alive...Thats your new mission..." The Prophet's face relaxed, he grabbed his staff, and in a blink of an eye, he was gone. A heavy silence hanged over Suki and Aki. "I wonder why they would tell us that." Aki finally mumbled. "I don't know, but I think we should take their ad---" She was cut off mid sentence by a loud explosion. The left turbine engine had exploded, shattering the wing of the plane instantly. The fuel in the wings ignited, exploding even more. "SUKI!" Aki screamed, and he formed a barrier made of rock around them. This weighed down the plane, however, which caused it to fall through the air faster. Outside of their little shelter, they heard people screaming in pain and agony. Suki had seen a mans leg being completely chopped off by the shrapnel, and Aki had witnessed a mother protecting her child, knowing they were both going to die, but the mother was willing to take the pain and suffering first. A tear trickled down their eyes as they fell, and landed in a firey explosion. Once the flames had died down, Aki lowered his protective earth bubble. They looked around in awe and shock. What was once a city was now a desolate desert. There was no survivors except for Aki and Suki. Aki pulled Suki closer, and tried to comfort her, but not even his warm embrace could cheer her up. "We.... We.... We better get moving..." Suki stuttered. Tears were built up in her eyes, and she was trying her best not to cry.
**************************************************
They sat in silence for a little while, not wanting to remember what they had just witnessed. "Who would do that to so many innocent people?" Aki finally spat out. Suki shook her head and said. "Don't you get it? The demons want us to fail, they don't care how many are slaughtered to do it. I think it would be better to stay on the down low for a bit, so I guess we might need new identities." Aki raised one eyebrow and asked, "Ok, but then how did they find us the first time? How are they tracking us? Could it be that it's when we use our powers?" Suki nodded her head, "It is possible...But then how do we disguise ourselves?" Aki pondered this, then said, "I got it! We are always trying to hide our true image, but I don't think that anyone has even seen it! I think that if we just become ourselves, then we will be hidden!" Suki tilted her head a little and after thinking said, "Well...It could work..." She closed her eyes and slowly became herself. Aki did the same. They looked very different. Suki was taller than Aki, but not by much. Aki had emerald green eyes, and a softer face. His hair streaked to his neck, it had not been cut for a while now. It was jet black, with streaks of red and yellow throughout the hair. It was said that his hair resembled a phoenix, and Aki liked that. Suki had two different colored eyes, both a grayish color, but the left one had a green tint, while the right had a blue tint to it. Her hair was clipped up, and as she undid it, it stretched to her back. Aki always liked her hair, he had seen it a couple of times. It was gray on the top, but an under layer seemed to be white. As it reached closer to her head, the gray turned a little darker, but did not become black. She loved her hair, because she felt it made her look more like a wolf. She flashed her teeth, and you could see the canine teeth extend out a little. When she was younger, she actually ground her teeth into a point to make herself more animalish. Her tongue rolled over it, it was foreign in her mouth, she forgot all about that. Her face was sweet, you could tell just by looking at her. Suddenly, the Prophet reappeared right in front of them. "Prophet! Are you ok?!?!?" Aki ran over to him and picked him up. "W--who are you two?" Suki laughed a little, and said, "Its us! The two you took care of!" "...Your in your normal form?" Aki smiled and said, "yes!" The Prophet held up his staff, as high as his arms would let him. It burst into flame. "What??? Why did you do that?" Aki and Suki screamed. "Don't worry, I have gotten a new weapon." He reached into his cloak, and pulled out a black sword. Down the middle, there was a red stripe, at the top, was a dragon. The wings fanned out, and the handle was the neck of it. At the mouth, there was a glass orb, containing the dragons breath. It burned very hot, but the glass orb contained the heat. "There is but one more thing you must see...I fear it might be too late" He said as he looked into the sky. "Quickly! Grab the sword! You have to be touching the handle." Suki and Aki did as he asked. "Long ago, a tracker was placed on the Ancients. This was to make sure they did not fall into the wrong hands. If they did, then we could...Dispose of them." Aki and Suki looked in horror as they saw themselves being operated on, a weird device being placed inside of them. "We used this to track exactly what you were doing. Suki, we almost had to get rid of you, good thing Aki got some sense into you!" She blushed a little, looking away. The Prophet continued. "Here is the bad part. War has broke out, the Demons are trying to start it early, so you two will not have time to crush them. They broke into the lab, and now are holding the devices to track you. Aki was right though, they can only see you when you use your powers. That is why I am here. I am going to give you a new power, one that is untraceable." He dropped the sword, and Aki and Suki were now holding it up. The Prophet put his hand over Aki and Suki's face. He grabbed their heads, as hard as he could grip. Aki and Suki watched in horror as the Prophet shook and fell backwards. "S--s--sorry. It takes alot out of you to do that..." He stood back up. "Now all I have do is say some incantations and we are all set! Donale, escuto, paretio, renque, shampete!" While he said that, Aki watched as Suki's body floated into the air. Her body became relaxed as she floated about 6 feet high. Then, as if from the sky itself, a beam of light shot downwards, hitting Suki where her heart is. It grew, consuming her whole body. She gently fell back to the ground. "And now for you Aki. Alete, tondowlo, sintenle, gravintale, brakentele!" Aki felt the same sensation flow through him, as Suki watched. "They will know you two are here, but it will not matter soon." Suki and Aki looked confused. "How do we use our new power? What is it even!?" The Prophet looked at them and said, "You were born shapeshifters, so you can now transform into the one form that resembles you the most. Whatever your most powerful trait is, that will take over." Aki and Suki were still confused. "When you need to use the power, it will use itself. In the meantime, do not use your powers unless you absolutely have to! It will tip off the demons on your position!" Just as he said that, three demons spawned around them.
