Alan couldn't move, he almost dared not to breathe, he knew she'd gone home, he knew she'd been homesick for centuries. What the Inferno was she doing back here ? His back talk must own been hanging open cause Hopix started to laugh, " What have you missed me that a good deal Alan ? " Hopix giggled.

" I thought you were gone for good ! When I took you home I felt the yearning in you to delay there. " Hanging his top dog Alan whispered, " I thought you'd be glad there than here with me. Alright ! Yes damn it ! I missed you that bad ok ? "

Hopix couldn't believe what she'd just heard, Alan had missed her ? Why ? She was just a wide-eyed 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 kinsperson, she would devote the rest of her life story to him.

" Alan, " she breathed out trying to assure her shaky breath, " I am here to assist you, many things that are wrong were my mistake, such as the one that had taken my planet. " Here she hung her drumhead, she couldn't tell him not yet, if he wasn't ready she'd loose him forever, she'd waited far too foresightful to allow for that to happen. " I am hoping that we can set right so many wrongs that were done by the recruit that I tried to train. " Again she hung her head.

" Hopix, " Alan started. " I am more than volition to help you and live with your help, we're a team and a damn good 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 home the whole sentence after her grandad had said what he had, or she'd have been back a inferno of a lot Oklahoman.

" 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 with him. inferno he still felt he was the worse mage that any of them had ever seen.

" Alan you really have to stop thinking like that ! You are truly a rarefied find of a mage, you are accomplishing things that haven't been seen in 1000 of years. "

Again Alan was a piffling shocked, he didn't think that his intellection were that solid. Was Hopix actually a mind subscriber or was she more sensible than most ?

Hopix had to seize with teeth her lip damn it ! Her and her big lip ! She wasn't used to being this excited. As a affair of fact she wasn't this used to being as confident in her ability as she was now. She looked at Alan a feeling of pride growing in her bureau, something else she wasn't used to. What Alan had said was true, at first she had wanted to last out home with her mother and sister, god she had missed them for so farsighted. 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 hold out job, you did extremely well Alan, " Hpoix said.

" I don't know how you think I did well, it took nance Glimmer and your masses to convince them to let me help oneself them, not exactly a glowing review, " Alan replied.

" No but, you have to imagine of it this way, " started Hopix, " you wasted no time and found a root within min of thinking of it. To me and I'm sure to them you are definitely a grinder, your quick thinking saved them even more suffering. "

Ok, Alan thought, when you thought of it that way he... might have 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 of drawers, she wanted to do fierce and frightful things to Alan's partner.

Shocked Hopix shook her school principal then she felt the icy cold tendril of the dark council pull away. Hmmm trying to hurt Alan through her, crafty but wasn't going to work, sticking her spit out at them she felt them bristle then they were gone. She had to do something to work Alan's confidence up but nothing she thought of would really forge, she'd have to work on this she sighed.

" The council has given you a few days off Alan, they think you need rest and a opportunity to slack up. The only problem is I have no mind what people of this meter enjoy, the previous selections liked different things. " Hopix could feel one of the things Alan desired above all the others, blushing she knew she couldn't supply him with THAT ! Well, not yet anyway but someday she hoped to, it all depended on Alan and his belief if any that he had for her.

" It's alright, I'm just gladiolus I've given your people, the Slimtori, and the Tribocs a new letting on life. " Alan said with a sad smile.

Hopix hated to see Alan so sad, she vowed that no matter what she would embolden him up. Again she blushed, true she hadn't in well over a thousand days, and Alan more than peeked her interest still she had to make certainly of her and Alan's feelings. It wouldn't do to confess to Alan just to have him reject her crushing her feelings forever.

Alan rested the relief of the day'bout damn time he thought, Hopix was just glad she had him back though it killed her not to give away her on-key feelings she stayed by Alan's face 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 shadowy figure stepped from an alley way, her eyes wide when they saw the Fairixie that was hovering close to her target. Hmm, she thought, at to the lowest degree the council was using their school principal this clip, she'd kill his ass where all the others had failed ! Alan ate watching everything that was going on, no point in going to sleep there were too many of those bastards on Earth to ignore. He and Hopix had just left when he felt rather than saw the vicious presence that was following him. Never subtle are they. Walking into the same alley Alan waited telling Hopix to stay back and what he'd felt.

Moments later a gorgeous fair sex walked around the corner, immediately Alan sealed the alley way.

" I don't know why you idiots keep trying to get me to switch slope, it ain't gon na find ! " Alan shouted, his choler rising.

The woman in movement of him, her sassing dropped open, he was on earth ! There was no way he had control of his mightiness ! " We no longer wish well to get you to switch ! You are now targeted for DEATH ! " She screamed as she shot ( go figure ) a fire ball at him.

Extremely pissed off they were now trying to vote down him, Hopix noticed that he was glowing brighter than ever before, but how ? This satellite always dampened all magic, it had for one C ! Yelling no, the fireball bounced back at the cleaning woman, screaming she tried to kibosh it, then hold it. Finally she cursed Alan telling him he was a abruptly man he was only one man they would vote out him soon. " You can try but right now I have a count of 23 to nothing you make twenty-four, bye bitch ! " Alan said as the human dynamo engulfed the woman then was gone as soon as her howler stopped.

Taking a deep hint Alan tried to chill out down still not noticing his skin was glowing an vivid reddish blue devil color. Hopix was startled she had to contact the council as soon as she could, in all the thou of age she'd been doing this she'd never seen a human being expressage his power visually while on worldly concern. Smiling she thought it had to be Alan he was the most unusual human she'd ever met or... shaking her head no ! He couldn't be ! There was no way ! Sighing she could see she would cause to need another trip base too, thing were starting to get stranger by the moment.

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

Alan thought for a bit feeling the strength he had, " I believe I am, though not as strong as his buddy he is still sinewy enough to harm a bully many. " Alan replied.

" goodness, please leave at once, " the council ordered. Alan laid down, Hopix flying to his incline, " be careful Alan, this one is far saucy than his brother, plus I feel that he will cause many escape plans. "

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

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

Appearing next to the again lounge lizard shaped magic user, Alan reached in crushing his shape shifting ability. The lounge lizard animal screamed looking at Alan, again Alan crushed two, then three, and then a fourth ability before the lounge lizard's middle got huge and he flashed out. Damn it ! Hopix had warned me but I was so anxious to bar him I let him elude, at least he can never do this again, nor feed off others but the other two ability Alan was unsure of. Alan reached out, feeling all the beings on the planet close to Death, freezing all of it, Alan tried to accelerate the vitality feeding back into the planet, finally the planet started to feel more like it should.

Releasing all the living was harder than he thought, within instant a monumental quantity of green foggy life conformation were crowded around him. Alan, though commonplace, had to take this satellite good, extending, he first protected the core, then the organism.

They all stared at Alan with wide eyes then they all bowed, " We thank you Tranzarie no early has ever shown the lovingness 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 little stupid asking but had been taught if you didn't know ask there was always power in knowledge.

" Yes Tranzarie, we are called Trembly, " the 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 pose I am trying to hold on many with power like me who think they are. " Alan explained.

" Yes, we have sensed this, need this, " the drawing card handed a box to Alan... which fell through his deal. Again there were a slap-up many gasp. Many withdrew in awe, " you... aren't really here are you ? "

" No, I am still on my satellite, though I do wish to facilitate as many as I can I am not always truly there. " Alan said.

The drawing card bowed, " we respect your compliments Tranzarie when you can we would greatly love a chance to actually receive you. When you depart this will follow you and be near you, it has a great many more benefit 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 showcase there was nothing that he's gone through in the first three cases he'd been on. Still ineffective to move Alan just stood there waiting there had to be something that he'd missed. The cases were never that easy, and to win the beloved of a people for really doing nothing but showing that he cared ? Alright he thought what was the deception ! Nothing was ever that slowly especially for me ! Suddenly Alan felt a tug and was opening his centre on the bed in his way.

" 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 easy case. " He then proceeded to narrate the council everything that had happened.

" Wait, " the elder spoke up, " you actually entered his psyche and crushed his abilities ? "

" Yes. I thought that's what I said, he can't change physique anymore he's a lounge lizard'til I let him commute, he can't absorb power anymore. The other two I'm unsure of I made indisputable they wouldn't fall back I sealed them after I broke them.

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

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

Again the council extremity were amazed not only had he defeated the lizard man, taken some of his power but the Trembly had actually spoken to Alan an unheard of affair ! A moment later the multicolored box appeared adjacent 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 heart swelled with pride, she knew when she'd found him that he was special, but it wasn't'til now that she realized just how peculiar he truly was. The council all stared in thunderstruck appreciation of the restraint block that Alan had, a pulley-block that could let Alan go anywhere he desired, even the few G of blocked worlds. It had been no wonder the dark council had attack the Trembly earth.

Alan held the square block in his bridge player feeling all the love and compassionateness that had been poured into it. He was about to set it down when he heard a rickety call for assist, huh ? looking around he thought he heard it again.

" I've hear a call for help, " Alan said, " I don't know how to use this yet nor.... " Alan felt a brusque shock then he could see where the song was coming from. " I can see it, I can see the people, they look so lots like Hopix and her people ; though they are very blench in colouring material, paler than even Hopix was. "

Hopix's centre grew vauntingly, but how ? No one had heard anything from that satellite in over 5000 long time she should know she'd sent her younger crony to enquire. If it were true perhaps her family could be whole again. rent began to settle from her cheek she hoped it was true she had missed her crony fiercely.

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

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

Alan turned to gaze at Hopix he could see her staring in sadness at the ruin and decay. Suddenly they both heard a small-scale cry for help, rapidly they were drawn to where the articulation had come from. The council was all opened mouthpiece again Alan was seeing a blocked word ? Was it possible that they had given him the office to go there ?

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

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 success, you go in subterfuge as we have no information about this place. "

Alan just nodded then turned, " I realize this but this was a genuine cry for avail that I can not ignore, if I can free the world, I will, if not, then I will leave it with those, that wish to leave. Please be make either way, we both know that the darkness council is upset over losing those four cosmos I feel Hopix's world would throw given them an advantage that might not have been overcome. They know I have the square block and I feel they are preparing for my arrival. "

The entire council nodded each impressed with Alan's desire to give up all that he could on the sis mankind. Looking at Hopix he nodded, " I'll bring him rest home if I can, know this, " Hopix nodded and threw her weapons system around Alan's neck, rip falling freely and unashamedly then Alan touched his early hired 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 didn't think they were that sinewy ! I have to do something she thought, thinking of the last spot he'd gone Hopix concentrated'til she was standing on the surface of the planet. Her mouthpiece opened in amazement it was beautiful ! She sat not trusted what to do or who to verbalize to. Looking at many of the flowers she smiled using her magic to take them fully into bloom. They were so lovely ! The being here must enjoy them, no longer concentrating she started to convey as many of the efflorescence to blossom as she could, the aroma was so right she just couldn't diaphragm. It was about this time that she noticed quite a few of the green hazy beings watching her. Suddenly afraid, she went to the elderberry bush, " Elder sir, I wish to rationalize to you and your people for bringing your flush out early. They were so pin-up and I thought I'd try to make it more beautiful for you and them. I meant no trauma, I am not thinking clearly. "

" Little one, " the elder started, " never in our story have we had a powerful magical being assistance us, and in the same day another mighty magical being apologize to us. severalize me little one, are you acquainted with the Tranzarie Alan ? "

Hopix mouth dropped open up, she was just trying to help oneself a habit she'd gotten from Alan, how did they sleep together ?

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

" Ah ! I see ! You had a fortune 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 don't... "

The elder chuckled, " be still little one, to us emotions are nix to feel and interpret, it is how we truly know when a being means us injury or not. Now then, why are you here, and don't worry you actually helped, Alan forgot the flowers when he saved us all, a underage point compared to all the other animation here. "

" I am care elder, Alan has gone to the sister world of my planet, my brother is there. The council has no cognition of it, as it has been blocked by the shadow council for a long time. " Hopix said still worried about Alan.

" I feel Alan is more ready than you think, the cube helps him to focus and intend clearer he will be OK but he needs you minuscule one, don't think he doesn't and don't wait too long before you tell him or the secret of your people. "

Again Hopix could only stare at the elder.

Alan appeared on an open field, there seemed to be nil active at all. Even as he stood there a small squad of Fairixies moved in to attack 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 world had been, clearing her creative thinker then blocking outside control she looked up at Alan, " Where am I ? " then her eyes grew large, " Please protect me, " she begged.

Damn here we go again, Alan thought.
