Alan could n't move, he almost dared not to take a breath, he knew she 'd gone home, he knew she 'd been homesick for centuries. What the hell was she doing back here ? His mouth must take been hanging unfastened reason Hopix started to express joy, `` What have you missed me that a good deal Alan ? '' Hopix giggled.

`` I thought you were gone for expert ! When I took you home I felt the longing in you to stay there. '' Hanging his head Alan whispered, `` I thought you 'd be glad there than here with me. Alright ! Yes beshrew 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 simpleton Fairixie, trying to do her job for the council, to save 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 mob, she would devote the sleep of her aliveness to him.

`` Alan, '' she breathed out trying to operate her shaky breather, `` I am here to avail you, many things that are wrong were my shift, such as the one that had taken my planet. '' Here she hung her head, she could n't tell him not yet, if he was n't quick she 'd let loose him forever, she 'd waited far too foresightful to allow that to happen. `` I am hoping that we can set right so many legal injury that were done by the recruits that I tried to train. '' Again she hung her capitulum.

'' Hopix, '' Alan started. `` I am more than willing to assist you and accept your service, we 're a team and a damn good squad 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 home the wholly meter after her grandfather had said what he had, or she 'd deliver been back a Scheol of a lot sooner.

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

Alan was still slightly in shock, not only had Hopix come back but she still wanted to work on with him. Hell he still felt he was the worse mage that any of them had ever seen.

'' Alan you really have to block off thinking like that ! You are truly a uncommon find of a mage, you are accomplishing matter that have n't been seen in thousands of years. ''

Again Alan was a little shocked, he did n't think that his thoughts were that strong. Was Hopix actually a creative thinker reader or was she more sensitive than most ?

Hopix had to bite her lip darn 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 feeling of pride growing in her chest, something else she was n't used to. What Alan had said was true, at showtime she had wanted to rest rest home with her mother and babe, god she had missed them for so foresightful. Now thanks to Alan she had a family again another thing that she could never truly repay him for.

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

`` I do n't cognize how you think I did well, it took faggot Glimmer and your mass to convince them to let me serve them, not exactly a glowing review article, '' Alan replied.

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

Ok, Alan thought, when you thought of it that way he ... might experience 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 person better half drained it that much from him ? Suddenly anger swelled in her pectus, she wanted to do violent and direful things to Alan 's Ilex paraguariensis.

Shocked Hopix shook her head teacher then she felt the icy cold tendril of the iniquity council pull away. Hmmm trying to hurt Alan through her, crafty but was n't going to work, sticking her tongue out at them she felt them bristle then they were gone. She had to do something to bring Alan 's confidence up but nothing she thought of would really work, she 'd accept to exercise on this she sighed.

`` The council has given you a few days off Alan, they think you need rest and a fortune to slacken. The simply problem is I have no idea what people of this time enjoy, the previous survival of the fittest liked different things. '' Hopix could feel one of the things Alan desired above all the others, blushing she knew she could n't furnish him with THAT ! Well, not yet anyway but someday she hoped to, it all depended on Alan and his feelings if any that he had for her.

'' It 's alright, I 'm just glad I 've given your the great unwashed, the Slimtori, and the Tribocs a new lease on life. '' Alan said with a sad smile.

Hopix hated to see Alan so sad, she vowed that no matter what she would inspire him up. Again she blushed, straight she had n't in well over a thousand years, and Alan more than peeked her stake still she had to make sure as shooting of her and Alan 's feelings. It would n't do to confess to Alan just to have him pooh-pooh her crushing her tone forever.

Alan rested the relaxation of the day 'bout damn sentence he thought, Hopix was just glad she had him back though it killed her not to uncover her dependable feelings she stayed by Alan 's incline through the Night. The next 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 shadowed figure stepped from an bowling alley way, her eyes wide of the mark when they saw the Fairixie that was hovering close to her objective. Hmm, she thought, at least the council was using their foreland this time, she 'd kill his ass where all the others had failed ! Alan ate watching everything that was going on, no point in going to log Z's there were too many of those bastards on earth to ignore. He and Hopix had just left when he felt rather than saw the malevolent presence that was following him. Never subtle are they. Walking into the same bowling alley Alan waited telling Hopix to persist back and what he 'd felt.

Moments later a gorgeous womanhood walked around the turning point, immediately Alan sealed the skittle alley way.

'' I do n't know why you idiots maintain trying to get me to change over sides, it ai n't gon na befall ! '' Alan shouted, his anger rising.

The woman in front of him, her mouth dropped loose, he was on earth ! There was no way he had control of his force ! `` We no longer care to get you to flip ! You are now targeted for DEATH ! '' She screamed as she shot ( go bod ) a flaming ball at him.

Extremely pissed off they were now trying to pop him, Hopix noticed that he was glowing brighter than ever before, but how ? This planet always dampened all deception, it had for centuries ! Yelling no, the fireball bounced back at the charwoman, screaming she tried to block up it, then hold it. Finally she cursed Alan telling him he was a stagnant man he was only one man they would kill him soon. `` You can try but right now I have a tally of 23 to nothing you make two dozen, bye bitch ! '' Alan said as the powerhouse engulfed the woman then was gone as soon as her screams stopped.

Taking a bass breathing space Alan tried to tranquillize down still not noticing his skin was glowing an intense reddish blue color. Hopix was startled she had to contact the council as soon as she could, in all the thousands of long time she 'd been doing this she 'd never seen a human limited his top executive visually while on world. Smiling she thought it had to be Alan he was the most strange human she 'd ever met or ... shaking her head no ! He could n't be ! There was no way ! Sighing she could see she would have to take another trip home too, things were starting to get unknown by the moment.

They 'd both just gotten in to his room when the light council contacted them. `` Alan delight forgive us but we have a guinea pig that we need you on, it appears that this satellite is about to die. It has been drained to the point that the substance has started to destabilize. It also appears to be the same one you met on the in conclusion planet, Do you think you are rested enough to present him ? ''

Alan thought for a moment feeling the strength he had, `` I believe I am, though not as warm as his blood brother he is still sinewy enough to harm a outstanding many. '' Alan replied.

'' good, please leave at once, '' the council ordered. Alan laid down, Hopix flying to his side, `` be measured Alan, this one is far smarter than his brother, plus I feel that he will sustain many escape program. ''

Alan nodded, lying down he closed his eyes and reached out for a major planet like the council had described. Within moment he was there, the sky was dark, the air foul. Reaching out Alan found the rootage of all the planet 's suffering.

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

Appearing next to the again lizard shaped magic drug user, Alan reached in crushing his shape shifting power. The lizard creature screamed looking at Alan, again Alan crushed two, then three, and then a fourth power before the lizard 's eyes got huge and he flashed out. curse it ! Hopix had warned me but I was so anxious to terminate him I let him escape, at least he can never do this again, nor feed off others but the other two abilities Alan was unsure of. Alan reached out, feeling all the beings on the satellite close to destruction, freezing all of it, Alan tried to accelerate the muscularity feeding back into the planet, finally the major planet started to feel more like it should.

Releasing all the life was firmly than he thought, within second a massive amount of green fuzzy life manikin were crowded around him. Alan, though wear upon, had to make this planet condom, extending, he first protected the core, then the organism.

They all stared at Alan with astray eyes then they all bowed, `` We thank you Tranzarie no other has ever shown the caring and compassion 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 lilliputian stupid asking but had been taught if you did n't know ask there was always power in knowledge.

'' Yes Tranzarie, we are called Trembly, '' the leader replied. `` We will erect an simulacrum to you so that all will hump that we are not alone that at to the lowest degree one being cares for us. ''

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

'' Yes, we have sensed this, ingest this, '' the leader handed a box to Alan ... which fell through his paw. Again there were a great many gasps. Many withdrew in awe, `` you ... are n't really here are you ? ''

'' No, I am still on my planet, though I do bid to help 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 get laid a luck to actually encounter you. When you depart this will follow you and be near you, it has a great many more than benefits than just travel. Please be well Tranzarie. ''

Alan just blinked, ok where was the combat ? The suffering he had to ease ? This was an unusual case there was zippo that he 's gone through in the first three cases he 'd been on. Still unable to strike Alan just stood there waiting there had to be something that he 'd missed. The example were never that easy, and to win the love of a people for really doing cipher but showing that he cared ? Alright he thought what was the trick ! Nothing was ever that promiscuous especially for me ! Suddenly Alan felt a tug and was opening his eyes on the bed in his elbow room.

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

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

A moment later he summoned the council, `` Alright what the infernal region is going on ? '' They all looked at Alan with questioning looks, I 've never had an easy caseful. '' He then proceeded to tell the council everything that had happened.

'' waiting, '' the elder spoke up, `` you actually entered his nous and crushed his power ? ''

'' Yes. I thought that 's what I said, he ca n't change configuration anymore he 's a lizard 'til I let him change, he ca n't absorb power anymore. The other two I 'm diffident of I made indisputable they would n't come up back I sealed them after I broke them.

All of the council members were sitting there with open mouths, they 'd thought it a fluke when Alan had done it to the man on Hopix 's domain but for him to actually do it in a battle was far more telling.

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

Again the council members 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 here and now later the multicolored box appeared next to Alan.

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

Hopix 's heart swelled with superbia, she knew when she 'd found him that he was special, but it was n't 'til now that she realized just how peculiar he truly was. The council all stared in dumfounded appreciation of the ascendence cube that Alan had, a auction block that could let Alan go anywhere he desired, even the few thousands of close up worlds. It had been no question the dark council had attack the Trembly world.

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

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

Hopix 's eyes grew bombastic, but how ? No one had heard anything from that planet in over 5000 years she should acknowledge she 'd ship her younger brother to inquire. If it were true perhaps her family could be all again. teardrop began to shine from her face she hoped it was true she had missed her blood brother fiercely.

Alan stood spike staring at the regular hexahedron 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 prototype standing next to Alan.

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

Alan turned to stare at Hopix he could see her staring in sadness at the ruination and disintegration. Suddenly they both heard a diminished cry for assist, rapidly they were drawn to where the voice had come from. The council was all opened mouth again Alan was seeing a blocked word ? Was it possible that they had given him the world power to go there ?

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

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

Alan just nodded then turned, `` I realize this but this was a true cry for assistance that I can not brush off, if I can free the human beings, I will, if not, then I will get out it with those, that wish to leave. Please be ready either way, we both know that the nighttime council is upset over losing those four globe I feel Hopix 's populace would give birth given them an reward that might not accept been overcome. They know I have the square block and I feel they are preparing for my comer. ''

The total council nodded each instill with Alan 's desire to free all that he could on the sis public. Looking at Hopix he nodded, `` I 'll make for him house if I can, know this, '' Hopix nodded and threw her weaponry 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 powerful but she did n't think they were that powerful ! I have to do something she thought, thinking of the last office 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 surely what to do or who to talk to. Looking at many of the flowers she smiled using her thaumaturgy to work them fully into bloom. They were so lovely ! The beings here must eff them, no longer concentrating she started to get as many of the flowers to bloom as she could, the odour was so good she just could n't stop. It was about this sentence that she noticed quite a few of the green fuzzy beings watching her. Suddenly afraid, she went to the elder, `` elderberry bush sir, I wish to justify to you and your people for bringing your heyday out early. They were so endearing 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 elder started, `` never in our story have we had a mightily magical being assistance us, and in the same day another powerful charming being apologize to us. severalise me fiddling one, are you acquainted with the Tranzarie Alan ? ''

Hopix sassing dropped open, she was just trying to help a use she 'd gotten from Alan, how did they have a go at it ?

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

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

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

The elder chuckled, `` be still little one, to us emotions are nil to finger and read, it is how we truly know when a being means us damage or not. Now then, why are you here, and do n't occupy you actually helped, Alan forgot the flush when he saved us all, a minor full point compared to all the other life here. ''

'' I am distressed senior, Alan has gone to the sister humanity of my planet, my Brother is there. The council has no knowledge of it, as it has been blocked by the dark council for a long time. '' Hopix said still worried about Alan.

'' I feel Alan is more ready than you think, the regular hexahedron helps him to focus and think clearer he will be fine but he needs you short one, do n't call back he does n't and do n't wait too long before you tell him or the hugger-mugger of your people. ''

Again Hopix could only stare at the elder.

Alan appeared on an open field, there seemed to be aught animated at all. Even as he stood there a low squad of Fairixies moved in to attack him, it was almost the same as before.

Reaching out he caught the drawing card wrapping her tight he saw she was just as the one 's on Hopix 's earth had been, clearing her judgement then blocking outside control she looked up at Alan, `` Where am I ? '' then her eyes grew tumid, `` Please protect me, '' she begged.

shit here we go again, Alan thought .
