Alan could n't move, he almost dared not to breathe, he knew she 'd gone home plate, he knew she 'd been homesick for century. What the hell was she doing back here ? His oral cavity must have been hanging open cause Hopix started to laugh, `` What have you missed me that much Alan ? '' Hopix giggled.

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

Hopix could n't consider 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 salvage 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 family, she would dedicate the residue of her lifetime to him.

`` Alan, '' she breathed out trying to moderate her shaky hint, `` I am here to help oneself you, many things that are wrong were my mistake, such as the one that had taken my planet. '' Here she hung her head, she could n't say him not yet, if he was n't ready she 'd loose him forever, she 'd waited far too yearn to permit that to happen. `` I am hoping that we can set right so many wrongs that were done by the recruits that I tried to condition. '' Again she hung her head.

'' Hopix, '' Alan started. `` I am to a greater extent than willing to serve you and accept your service, 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 domicile the unscathed time after her grandpa had said what he had, or she 'd have been back a sin of a lot Oklahoman.

'' I hope so Alan, as I said there is so a great deal 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. Hell he still felt he was the sorry mage that any of them had ever seen.

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

Again Alan was a niggling shocked, he did n't think that his thoughts were that potent. Was Hopix actually a mind reader or was she more sensitive than almost ?

Hopix had to bite her lip tinker's damn it ! Her and her big sassing ! She was n't used to being this excited. As a subject of fact she was n't this used to being as confident in her abilities as she was now. She looked at Alan a look of pride growing in her chest, something else she was n't used to. What Alan had said was avowedly, at first she had wanted to outride home with her mother and babe, god she had missed them for so long. Now thanks to Alan she had a class again another thing that she could never truly repay him for.

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

`` I do n't cognize how you think I did well, it took world-beater intimation and your multitude to convince them to let me help oneself them, not exactly a glow brushup, '' Alan replied.

`` No but, you have to think of it this way, '' started Hopix, `` you wasted no sentence and found a solution within minute of mentation of it. To me and I 'm sure as shooting to them you are definitely a Hero, your quick thought process 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 self-confidence at all, had his female pardner drained it that much from him ? Suddenly anger swelled in her chest, she wanted to do violent and terrible matter to Alan 's mate.

Shocked Hopix shook her head then she felt the icy frigidness tendril of the dark council pull away. Hmmm trying to wound 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 land Alan 's authority up but nothing she thought of would really work, she 'd deliver to mould on this she sighed.

`` The council has given you a few day off Alan, they think you need lie and a opportunity to loosen. The only trouble is I have no theme what people of this metre enjoy, the old selections liked different matter. '' Hopix could finger one of the affair Alan desired above all the others, blushing she knew she could n't supply 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 people, the Slimtori, and the Tribocs a new term of a contract 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, true she had n't in well over a thousand geezerhood, and Alan more than than peeked her involvement still she had to ca-ca sure of her and Alan 's opinion. It would n't do to confess to Alan just to experience him reject her crushing her feelings forever.

Alan rested the rest of the day 'bout damn time he thought, Hopix was just gladiolus she had him back though it killed her not to reveal her true feelings she stayed by Alan 's side 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 alley way, her eyes wide when they saw the Fairixie that was hovering close to her prey. Hmm, she thought, at least the council was using their head 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 sleep there were too many of those bastards on land to brush aside. He and Hopix had just left when he felt rather than saw the evil bearing that was following him. Never subtle are they. Walking into the Sami bowling alley Alan waited telling Hopix to stay back and what he 'd matte up.

Moments later a gorgeous woman walked around the nook, immediately Alan sealed the alley way.

'' I do n't make love why you idiots keep trying to get me to change incline, it ai n't gon na happen ! '' Alan shouted, his anger rising.

The woman in front of him, her mouth dropped exposed, he was on earth ! There was no way he had control of his baron ! `` We no longer wish to get you to throw ! You are now targeted for end ! '' She screamed as she shot ( go image ) a fire ball 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 conjuration, it had for hundred ! Yelling no, the bolide bounced back at the womanhood, screaming she tried to hold on it, then hold it. Finally she cursed Alan telling him he was a perfectly man he was only one man they would drink down him soon. `` You can try but right now I have a count of twenty-three to nothing you make twenty-four, bye bitch ! '' Alan said as the human dynamo engulfed the woman then was gone as soon as her belly laugh stopped.

Taking a deep breathing time Alan tried to cool it down still not noticing his skin was glowing an intense reddish blueness colouring material. 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 express his mightiness visually while on world. Smiling she thought it had to be Alan he was the most unusual homo 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 domicile too, thing were starting to get stranger by the moment.

They 'd both just gotten in to his way when the light council contacted them. `` Alan please forgive us but we have a type that we need you on, it appears that this planet is about to die. It has been drained to the percentage point that the pith has started to destabilize. It also appears to be the same one you met on the stopping point planet, Do you call up you are rested enough to face him ? ''

Alan thought for a mo feeling the strength he had, `` I believe I am, though not as solid as his brother he is still herculean enough to harm a great many. '' Alan replied.

'' commodity, please leave at once, '' the council ordered. Alan laid down, Hopix flying to his English, `` be careful Alan, this one is far smarter than his comrade, plus I feel that he will have many evasion programme. ''

Alan nodded, lying down he closed his oculus and reached out for a planet like the council had described. inside moments he was there, the sky was dark, the air foul. Reaching out Alan found the source of all the planet 's distress.

Again Alan felt the same entity that he had on the Tribocs planet. Reaching deep Alan powered up as much as he could, his angriness also building. Releasing it he sent as big a fist form mission at the entity as he could. He felt the other crumple from the bombardment almost all the Energy fleeing back into the planet.

Appearing side by side to the again lizard shaped wizard user, Alan reached in crushing his SHAPE shifting ability. The lizard creature screamed looking at Alan, again Alan crushed two, then three, and then a fourth ability before the lounge lizard 's eye got immense and he flashed out. Damn it ! Hopix had warned me but I was so uneasy to quit him I let him escape, 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 major planet close to death, freezing all of it, Alan tried to quicken the energy feeding back into the planet, finally the planet started to feel more like it should.

Releasing all the life was harder than he thought, within import a massive amount of green blurred life forms were crowded around him. Alan, though tire, had to reach this planet safe, extending, he first protected the Congress of Racial Equality, then the organism.

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

'' May I ask what you call yourselves ? Alan asked feeling a little 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 enkindle an effigy to you so that all will do it that we are not alone that at to the lowest degree one being tending for us. ''

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

'' Yes, we have sensed this, claim this, '' the leader handed a box to Alan ... which fell through his hired man. Again there were a large many pant. Many withdrew in awe, `` you ... are n't really here are you ? ''

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

The leader bowed, `` we respect your wish Tranzarie when you can we would greatly get laid a chance to actually meet you. When you depart this will accompany you and be near you, it has a great many more benefits than just travel. Please be well Tranzarie. ''

Alan just blinked, ok where was the fight ? The suffering he had to comfort ? This was an unusual case there was aught that he 's gone through in the first three cases he 'd been on. Still unable to move Alan just stood there waiting there had to be something that he 'd missed. The compositor's case were never that easy, and to win the love of a people for really doing nothing but showing that he cared ? Alright he thought what was the trick ! nothing was ever that easy 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 guinea pig go that easily ! ``

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

'' Wait, '' the elder spoke up, `` you actually entered his mind and crushed his abilities ? ''

'' Yes. I thought that 's what I said, he ca n't vary form anymore he 's a lounge lizard 'til I let him switch, he ca n't take in power anymore. The former two I 'm unsure of I made sure they would n't come back I sealed them after I broke them.

All of the council penis were sitting there with undecided sassing, they 'd thought it a flue 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 effect of the Trembly world so that it could not be hurt again. '' Alan said.

Again the council fellow member were amazed not only had he defeated the lounge lizard man, taken some of his index but the Trembly had actually spoken to Alan an unheard of thing ! A moment later the multicolored box appeared future 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 was n't 'til now that she realized just how particular he truly was. The council all stared in dumfounded discernment of the control blockage that Alan had, a block that could let Alan go anywhere he desired, even the few G of blocked earth. It had been no question the dark council had attack the Trembly globe.

Alan held the square block in his manpower feeling all the passion and compassion that had been poured into it. He was about to set it down when he heard a washy shout for help, huh ? looking around he thought he heard it again.

`` I 've heard a call for help, '' Alan said, `` I do n't acknowledge 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 people, they look so much like Hopix and her hoi polloi ; though they are very pale in coloration, paler than even Hopix was. ``

Hopix 's eyes grew large, but how ? No one had heard anything from that planet in over 5000 year she should live she 'd send her younger brother to investigate. If it were true perhaps her sept could be whole again. Tears began to fall from her expression she hoped it was straight she had missed her buddy fiercely.

Alan stood empale staring at the third power seeing picture that only he could see playing before his eyes. Moving closer Hopix touched Alan 's shoulder suddenly she was immersed in the Sami figure standing next to Alan.

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

Alan turned to stare at Hopix he could see her staring in gloominess at the ruin and decay. Suddenly they both heard a small cry for assistance, rapidly they were drawn to where the voice had come from. The council was all opened mouth again Alan was seeing a blocked Logos ? Was it possible that they had given him the power to go there ?

Rushing forward they came upon a young looking version of Hopix. Hopix gasp, `` that 's my sidekick he 's hurt. ''

The council looked at Alan, `` you can obviously go there but you are on your own Alan, we lost any chance of helping the masses there 100 ago. If you free enough of them we will then be able to intervene, but not 'til then. We wish you well and achiever, you go in subterfuge as we have no entropy about this berth. ''

Alan just nodded then turned, `` I realize this but this was a genuine cry for help that I can not discount, if I can free the globe, I will, if not, then I will result it with those, that wish to leave. Please be ready either way, we both know that the dark council is upset over losing those four world I feel Hopix 's human race would bear given them an advantage that might not bear been overcome. They know I have the cube and I feel they are preparing for my arrival. ''

The entire council nodded each impressed with Alan 's desire to relieve all that he could on the sis world. Looking at Hopix he nodded, `` I 'll institute him home if I can, know this, '' Hopix nodded and threw her arms around Alan 's neck, tears falling freely and unashamedly then Alan touched his early hired man to the third power and was gone.

Oh my god ! Hopix thought he actually went there ! Hopix knew that the Trembly were right but she did n't retrieve they were that powerful ! I have to do something she thought, thinking of the in conclusion place he 'd gone Hopix concentrated 'til she was standing on the surface of the planet. Her back talk opened in amazement it was beautiful ! She sat not sure what to do or who to utter to. Looking at many of the flowers she smiled using her trick to add them fully into rosiness. They were so lovely ! The beingness here must love them, no longer concentrating she started to make for as many of the flowers to bloom as she could, the scent was so good she just could n't stop. It was about this meter that she noticed quite a few of the leafy vegetable fuzzy beings watching her. Suddenly afraid, she went to the elder, `` elderberry bush sir, I wish to apologise to you and your mass for bringing your flowers out early. They were so lovely and I thought I 'd try to get to it more beautiful for you and them. I meant no hurt, I am not thinking clearly. ''

'' Little one, '' the senior started, `` never in our account have we had a powerful magical being help us, and in the same day another potent magical being apologize to us. Tell me short one, are you acquainted with the Tranzarie Alan ? ''

Hopix backtalk dropped give, she was just trying to help a substance abuse she 'd gotten from Alan, how did they live ?

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

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

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

The senior chuckled, `` be still minuscule one, to us emotions are zip to feel and study, it is how we truly know when a being means us harm or not. Now then, why are you here, and do n't worry you actually helped, Alan forgot the flowers when he saved us all, a shaver tip compared to all the other life here. ''

'' I am worried senior, Alan has gone to the babe world of my planet, my brother is there. The council has no noesis of it, as it has been blocked by the darkness council for a retentive time. '' Hopix said still worried about Alan.

'' I feel Alan is more quick than you think, the cube helps him to focus and reckon open he will be mulct but he needs you little one, do n't think he does n't and do n't wait too long before you tell him or the undercover of your people. ''

Again Hopix could only gaze at the elder.

Alan appeared on an unresolved field, there seemed to be nil alive at all. Even as he stood there a small squad of Fairixies moved in to set on 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 oculus grew orotund, `` Please protect me, '' she begged.

Damn here we go again, Alan thought .
