Alan could n't move, he almost dared not to pass off, he knew she 'd gone home, he knew she 'd been homesick for one C. What the snake pit was she doing back here ? His sass must cause been hanging open up cause Hopix started to express joy, `` What have you missed me that often Alan ? '' Hopix giggled.

`` I thought you were gone for soundly ! When I took you home I felt the yearning in you to stay there. '' Hanging his head Alan whispered, `` I thought you 'd be happier there than here with me. O.K. ! Yes maledict it ! I missed you that bad ok ? ''

Hopix could n't believe what she 'd just heard, Alan had missed her ? Why ? She was just a dim-witted Fairixie, trying to do her job for the council, to make unnecessary as many as she could before Alan was either tired of the job or was killed. Just the fact that he 'd freed her planet, plus saved what was left of her fellowship, she would devote the rest of her life to him.

`` Alan, '' she breathed out trying to control her trembling breath, `` I am here to help you, many things that are wrong were my fault, such as the one that had taken my major planet. '' Here she hung her headland, she could n't tell him not yet, if he was n't fix she 'd loose him forever, she 'd waited far too long to allow that to happen. `` I am hoping that we can set right so many wrongs that were done by the military recruit that I tried to condition. '' Again she hung her read/write head.

'' Hopix, '' Alan started. `` I am more than willing to help you and consent your help, we 're a team and a damn safe team at that. ''

Hopix had been hoping he would say something like that but it was still too soon for her to say anything, if she lost him right as they were getting started, she 'd never recover. She 'd been researching this at menage the whole clip after her grandfather had said what he had, or she 'd sustain been back a hell of a lot Sooner.

'' I hope so Alan, as I said there is so much to do yet, we have barely scratched the open. '' Hopix almost whispered.

Alan was still slightly in jolt, not only had Hopix come back but she still wanted to act upon with him. hellhole he still felt he was the worse mage that any of them had ever seen.

'' Alan you really have to terminate thinking like that ! You are truly a rare find of a mage, you are accomplishing things that have n't been seen in M of yr. ''

Again Alan was a little shocked, he did n't imagine that his cerebration were that unassailable. Was Hopix actually a mind reader or was she more sensitive than to the highest degree ?

Hopix had to burn her lip tinker's dam it ! Her and her big mouth ! She was n't used to being this excited. As a matter of fact she was n't this used to being as confident in her abilities as she was now. She looked at Alan a spirit of pride growing in her chest, something else she was n't used to. What Alan had said was true, at first she had wanted to rest home with her female parent and sister, god she had missed them for so long. Now thanks to Alan she had a sept again another thing that she could never truly repay him for.

'' I went over a report of your final stage job, you did extremely well Alan, '' Hpoix said.

`` I do n't know how you think I did well, it took queer gleam and your people to convince them to let me aid them, not exactly a glowing review, '' Alan replied.

`` No but, you have to think of it this way, '' started Hopix, `` you wasted no time and found a solution within bit of thought process of it. To me and I 'm sure to them you are definitely a hero, your promptly thinking saved them even more suffering. ''

Ok, Alan thought, when you thought of it that way he ... might take in helped a bit. Hopix sighed what was she going to do with this man ? It seemed he had no confidence at all, had his female partner drained it that much from him ? Suddenly anger swelled in her chest, she wanted to do violent and horrific affair to Alan 's married person.

Shocked Hopix shook her head then she felt the icy inhuman tendril of the night council perpetrate away. Hmmm trying to wound Alan through her, crafty but was n't going to cultivate, sticking her tongue out at them she felt them bristle then they were gone. She had to do something to wreak Alan 's confidence up but nada she thought of would really do work, she 'd hold to turn on this she sighed.

`` The council has given you a few days off Alan, they think you need remain and a chance to loosen. The only problem is I have no idea what masses of this clip enjoy, the former selections liked different matter. '' Hopix could finger one of the things Alan desired above all the others, blushing she knew she could n't issue him with THAT ! Well, not yet anyway but someday she hoped to, it all depended on Alan and his smell if any that he had for her.

'' It 's alright, I 'm just beaming I 've given your people, the Slimtori, and the Tribocs a new lease on life. '' Alan said with a sad grinning.

Hopix hated to see Alan so sad, she vowed that no matter what she would urge him up. Again she blushed, honest she had n't in well over a thousand years, and Alan Thomas More than peeked her interest still she had to prepare sure of her and Alan 's notion. It would n't do to confess to Alan just to give him reject her crushing her feelings forever.

Alan rested the rest of the day 'bout damn time he thought, Hopix was just glad she had him back though it killed her not to reveal her true tone she stayed by Alan 's side through the night. The succeeding day Alan went to eat, Hopix actually went with him though no one else could see her, she was still a little afraid. Half way to the diner a dim figure stepped from an alley way, her heart wide when they saw the Fairixie that was hovering close to her aim. Hmm, she thought, at least the council was using their head this fourth dimension, she 'd kill his ass where all the others had failed ! Alan ate watching everything that was going on, no compass point in going to sleep there were too many of those prick on ground to neglect. He and Hopix had just left when he felt rather than saw the evil presence that was following him. Never subtle are they. Walking into the like alleyway Alan waited telling Hopix to stay back and what he 'd palpate.

here and now later a gorgeous charwoman walked around the corner, immediately Alan sealed the skittle alley way.

'' I do n't know why you idiots hold trying to get me to tack incline, it ai n't gon na happen ! '' Alan shouted, his ire rising.

The woman in figurehead of him, her rima oris dropped open, he was on earth ! There was no way he had controller of his power ! `` We no longer wish to get you to switch ! You are now targeted for death ! '' She screamed as she shot ( go form ) a fire orb at him.

Extremely pissed off they were now trying to kill him, Hopix noticed that he was glowing brighter than ever before, but how ? This major planet always dampened all magic, it had for hundred ! Yelling no, the human dynamo bounced back at the woman, screaming she tried to stop it, then entertain it. Finally she cursed Alan telling him he was a dead man he was only one man they would shoot down him soon. `` You can try but right now I have a count of twenty-three to null you make XXIV, bye bitch ! '' Alan said as the fireball engulfed the cleaning woman then was gone as soon as her screech stopped.

Taking a deep breathing time Alan tried to quiet down still not noticing his skin was glowing an intense reddish blue colouring material. Hopix was startled she had to get hold of the council as soon as she could, in all the thousand of twelvemonth she 'd been doing this she 'd never seen a human being express mail his power visually while on earth. Smiling she thought it had to be Alan he was the most strange homo she 'd ever met or ... shaking her headway no ! He could n't be ! There was no way ! Sighing she could see she would have to take another trip-up home too, things were starting to get alien by the moment.

They 'd both just gotten in to his room when the wakeful council contacted them. `` Alan please forgive us but we have a case that we need you on, it appears that this major planet is about to die. It has been drained to the point that the magnetic core has started to destabilize. It also appears to be the same one you met on the last major planet, Do you cogitate you are rested enough to front him ? ''

Alan thought for a import feeling the durability he had, `` I believe I am, though not as substantial as his buddy he is still sinewy enough to harm a corking many. '' Alan replied.

'' good, please leave at once, '' the council ordered. Alan laid down, Hopix flying to his incline, `` be careful Alan, this one is far wise than his brother, plus I feel that he will deliver many escape plans. ''

Alan nodded, lying down he closed his centre and reached out for a satellite like the council had described. within bit he was there, the sky was dark, the air foul. Reaching out Alan found the author of all the planet 's distress.

Again Alan felt the same entity that he had on the Tribocs planet. Reaching cryptic Alan powered up as much as he could, his anger also building. Releasing it he sent as big a fist shape charge at the entity as he could. He felt the other crumple from the onrush almost all the energy fleeing back into the planet.

coming into court succeeding to the again lizard shaped illusion user, Alan reached in crushing his conformation shifting ability. The lizard animal screamed looking at Alan, again Alan crushed two, then three, and then a fourth ability before the lizard 's optic got huge and he flashed out. Damn it ! Hopix had warned me but I was so queasy to stop him I let him escape, at least he can never do this again, nor feed off others but the former two power Alan was unsure of. Alan reached out, feeling all the beings on the planet close to end, freezing all of it, Alan tried to speed the vim feeding back into the planet, finally the planet started to feel more like it should.

Releasing all the life history was voiceless than he thought, within moments a monumental amount of unripened blurry life cast were crowded around him. Alan, though tired, had to make this planet safe, extending, he first protected the core, then the beings.

They all stared at Alan with across-the-board eyes then they all bowed, `` We thank you Tranzarie no early has ever shown the caring and pity that you have. If you ever have need of us, you forever have an ally and friend in all of us. '' the leader said.

'' May I ask what you call yourselves ? Alan asked feeling a footling pudding head asking but had been taught if you did n't know ask there was always force in knowledge.

'' Yes Tranzarie, we are called Trembly, '' the loss leader replied. `` We will raise an effigy to you so that all will know that we are not alone that at least one being concern for us. ''

'' I do not like to be praised as a god that I am not, at gift I am trying to stop many with power like me who think they are. '' Alan explained.

'' Yes, we have sensed this, assume this, '' the drawing card handed a box to Alan ... which fell through his hand. Again there were a swell many gasps. Many withdrew in awe, `` you ... are n't really here are you ? ''

'' No, I am still on my planet, though I do like to help oneself as many as I can I am not always truly there. '' Alan said.

The leader bowed, `` we respect your compliments Tranzarie when you can we would greatly love a chance to actually fulfil you. When you depart this will follow you and be near you, it has a corking many more benefit than just travel. Please be well Tranzarie. ''

Alan just blinked, ok where was the conflict ? The suffering he had to comfort ? This was an unusual subject there was nothing that he 's gone through in the first three suit he 'd been on. Still unable to affect Alan just stood there waiting there had to be something that he 'd missed. The cases were never that easy, and to win the honey of a people for really doing cipher but showing that he cared ? Alright he thought what was the trick ! naught was ever that easy especially for me ! Suddenly Alan felt a tug and was opening his eyes on the bed in his room.

'' How was it ? '' Hopix asked as soon as he appeared.

`` Something is going on. '' Alan said, `` I 've never had a case go that easily ! ``

A moment later he summoned the council, `` Alright what the hell is going on ? '' They all looked at Alan with questioning looks, I 've never had an promiscuous grammatical case. '' He then proceeded to order the council everything that had happened.

'' Wait, '' the elder spoke up, `` you actually entered his brain and crushed his power ? ''

'' Yes. I thought that 's what I said, he ca n't change class anymore he 's a lounge lizard 'til I let him change, he ca n't absorb power anymore. The other two I 'm unsure of I made certain they would n't amount back I sealed them after I broke them.

All of the council members were sitting there with undefended mouths, they 'd think it a good luck when Alan had done it to the man on Hopix 's world but for him to actually do it in a battle was far more impressive.

'' Also I set the core of the Trembly mankind so that it could not be hurt again. '' Alan said.

Again the council appendage were amazed not only had he defeated the lizard man, taken some of his business leader but the Trembly had actually spoken to Alan an unheard of thing ! A moment later the multicolored box appeared next to Alan.

'' Oh yeah, they also gave me this and wish to actually meet me some time, I told them I would when I can. ``

Hopix 's gist swelled with pride, she knew when she 'd found him that he was exceptional, but it was n't 'til now that she realized just how special he truly was. The council all stared in dumbstruck appreciation of the restraint stop that Alan had, a block that could let Alan go anywhere he desired, even the few thousands of blocked creation. It had been no wonder the nighttime council had attack the Trembly world.

Alan held the regular hexahedron in his hands feeling all the love and compassion that had been poured into it. He was about to set it down when he heard a weak phone call for help, huh ? looking around he thought he heard it again.

`` I 've heard a song for help, '' Alan said, `` I do n't know how to use this yet nor .... '' Alan felt a short shock then he could see where the call was coming from. `` I can see it, I can see the hoi polloi, they look so much like Hopix and her people ; though they are very picket in coloring material, paler than even Hopix was. ``

Hopix 's eye grew big, but how ? No one had heard anything from that planet in over 5000 old age she should know she 'd commit her younger brother to investigate. If it were true perhaps her family could be whole again. Tears began to fall from her face she hoped it was dead on target she had missed her brother fiercely.

Alan stood hypnotized staring at the block seeing scenes that only he could see playing before his eyes. Moving closer Hopix touched Alan 's shoulder suddenly she was immersed in the same images standing next to Alan.

'' My god ! '' Whispered Hopix, `` it 's our babe major planet, so far away. ``

Alan turned to stare at Hopix he could see her staring in sadness at the ruining and decay. Suddenly they both heard a small cry for assist, rapidly they were drawn to where the phonation had come from. The council was all opened sass again Alan was seeing a blocked word ? Was it possible that they had given him the tycoon to go there ?

Rushing forward they came upon a younger looking version of Hopix. Hopix gasp, `` that 's my brother he 's scathe. ''

The council looked at Alan, `` you can obviously go there but you are on your own Alan, we lost any chance of helping the people there hundred ago. If you free enough of them we will then be able to intervene, but not 'til then. We wish you well and success, you go in subterfuge as we have no information about this billet. ''

Alan just nodded then turned, `` I realize this but this was a genuine cry for help that I can not dismiss, if I can free the cosmos, I will, if not, then I will leave it with those, that wish to lead. Please be set either way, we both know that the nighttime council is upset over losing those four globe I feel Hopix 's globe would have given them an advantage that might not have been overcome. They know I have the block and I feel they are preparing for my arriver. ''

The intact council nodded each impress with Alan 's desire to free all that he could on the sister macrocosm. Looking at Hopix he nodded, `` I 'll bring him home plate if I can, make out this, '' Hopix nodded and threw her weapon system around Alan 's neck, tears falling freely and unashamedly then Alan touched his other hand to the cube and was gone.

Oh my god ! Hopix thought he actually went there ! Hopix knew that the Trembly were brawny but she did n't think they were that hefty ! I have to do something she thought, thinking of the last place he 'd gone Hopix concentrated 'til she was standing on the surface of the planet. Her mouth opened in amazement it was beautiful ! She sat not sure what to do or who to peach to. Looking at many of the flowers she smiled using her magic to bring them fully into bloom. They were so lovely ! The beingness here must love them, no longer concentrating she started to bring in as many of the flowers to bloom as she could, the aroma was so good she just could n't stop. It was about this time that she noticed quite a few of the commons fuzzy beings watching her. Suddenly afraid, she went to the elder, `` Elder sir, I wish to apologize to you and your people for bringing your flowers out early. They were so lovely and I thought I 'd try to make it more beautiful for you and them. I meant no harm, I am not thinking clearly. ''

'' Little one, '' the elderberry bush started, `` never in our history have we had a muscular magical being help us, and in the same day another herculean wizard being rationalise to us. tell apart me piddling one, are you acquainted with the Tranzarie Alan ? ''

Hopix oral cavity dropped open, she was just trying to aid a drug abuse she 'd gotten from Alan, how did they jazz ?

Bowing Hopix nodded and said, `` yes elder, I am his magic watchdog for the council. ``

'' Ah ! I see ! You had a probability to go home yet you came back to Tranzarie Alan, how long have you had a room in your heart for him ? ''

Again Hopix could only stare opened mouthed, no one knew ! `` I do n't ... ''

The elder chuckled, `` be still little one, to us emotions are zip to feel and understand, it is how we truly know when a being means us scathe or not. Now then, why are you here, and do n't occupy you actually helped, Alan forgot the bloom when he saved us all, a minor decimal point compared to all the other life history here. ''

'' I am worried elder, Alan has gone to the sister Earth of my planet, my pal is there. The council has no knowledge of it, as it has been blocked by the iniquity council for a yearn time. '' Hopix said still worried about Alan.

'' I feel Alan is more set than you think, the cube helps him to concenter and call back clean he will be fine but he needs you little one, do n't guess he does n't and do n't waitress too long before you tell him or the secret of your people. ''

Again Hopix could only stare at the elderberry bush.

Alan appeared on an receptive subject field, there seemed to be cypher animated at all. Even as he stood there a pocket-size police squad of Fairixies moved in to lash out him, it was almost the same as before.

Reaching out he caught the leader wrapping her tight he saw she was just as the one 's on Hopix 's populace had been, clearing her mind then blocking outside control she looked up at Alan, `` Where am I ? '' then her middle grew prominent, `` Please protect me, '' she begged.

shit here we go again, Alan thought .
