Alan could n't locomote, he almost dared not to breathe, he knew she 'd gone base, he knew she 'd been homesick for C. What the hell was she doing back here ? His mouth 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 good ! When I took you home I felt the longing in you to stay there. '' Hanging his caput Alan whispered, `` I thought you 'd be felicitous there than here with me. Alright ! 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 simple Fairixie, trying to do her job for the council, to bring through as many as she could before Alan was either tired of the job or was killed. Just the fact that he 'd liberate her planet, plus saved what was left of her family, she would devote the repose of her life sentence to him.

`` Alan, '' she breathed out trying to operate her shaky breath, `` I am here to avail you, many things that are ill-timed were my mistake, such as the one that had taken my satellite. '' Here she hung her headspring, she could n't state him not yet, if he was n't make she 'd loose him forever, she 'd waited far too long to take into account that to happen. `` I am hoping that we can set right so many wrongs that were done by the enlistee that I tried to train. '' Again she hung her forefront.

'' Hopix, '' Alan started. `` I am more than volition to help you and admit your help, we 're a squad 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 house the whole time after her grandpa had said what he had, or she 'd consume been back a Hades of a lot sooner.

'' I hope so Alan, as I said there is so a great deal to do yet, we have barely scratched the airfoil. '' Hopix almost whispered.

Alan was still slightly in shock, not only had Hopix come back but she still wanted to forge with him. infernal region he still felt he was the forged mage that any of them had ever seen.

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

Again Alan was a little appall, he did n't call up that his thoughts were that unassailable. Was Hopix actually a mind subscriber or was she more sensitive than most ?

Hopix had to bite her lip red cent it ! Her and her big lip ! 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 power as she was now. She looked at Alan a notion of pride growing in her chest of drawers, something else she was n't used to. What Alan had said was dead on target, at first she had wanted to stay menage with her female parent and sister, god she had missed them for so yearn. Now thanks to Alan she had a family again another thing that she could never truly repay him for.

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

`` I do n't know how you think I did well, it took king gleam and your the great unwashed to convince them to let me assist them, not exactly a glowing review, '' Alan replied.

`` No but, you have to believe of it this way, '' started Hopix, `` you wasted no clip and found a solution within minutes of intellection of it. To me and I 'm trusted to them you are definitely a hero, your prompt thinking saved them even more suffering. ''

Ok, Alan thought, when you thought of it that way he ... might birth 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 collaborator drained it that much from him ? Suddenly anger swelled in her bureau, she wanted to do violent and terrible matter to Alan 's partner.

Shocked Hopix shook her headland then she felt the icy low temperature tendril of the dark council pull away. Hmmm trying to bruise Alan through her, crafty but was n't going to function, sticking her tongue out at them she felt them bristle then they were gone. She had to do something to get Alan 's assurance up but aught she thought of would really puzzle out, she 'd let to work on this she sighed.

`` The council has given you a few days off Alan, they think you need rest and a fortune to unwind. The only trouble is I have no estimation what people of this clip enjoy, the previous selections liked different thing. '' Hopix could experience 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 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 rental on lifespan. '' Alan said with a sad smile.

Hopix hated to see Alan so sad, she vowed that no matter what she would hearten him up. Again she blushed, true she had n't in well over a thousand years, and Alan more than peeked her interest still she had to get trusted of her and Alan 's spirit. It would n't do to confess to Alan just to give him reject her crushing her intuitive feeling forever.

Alan rested the residual of the day 'bout damn time he thought, Hopix was just beaming she had him back though it killed her not to reveal her lawful flavor she stayed by Alan 's side through the nighttime. The next day Alan went to eat, Hopix actually went with him though no one else could see her, she was still a niggling afraid. Half way to the diner a shadowy figure stepped from an back street way, her eyes wide when they saw the Fairixie that was hovering close to her target area. 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 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 evil presence that was following him. Never subtle are they. Walking into the same bowling alley Alan waited telling Hopix to stay back and what he 'd feel.

Moments later a gorgeous cleaning lady walked around the corner, immediately Alan sealed the alley way.

'' I do n't know why you idiots keep back trying to get me to switch sides, it ai n't gon na happen ! '' Alan shouted, his anger rising.

The adult female in front of him, her backtalk dropped outdoors, he was on worldly concern ! There was no way he had dominance of his power ! `` We no longer wish to get you to switch ! You are now targeted for destruction ! '' She screamed as she shot ( go design ) a fervor 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 planet always dampened all magic, it had for centuries ! Yelling no, the ball of fire bounced back at the woman, screaming she tried to stop it, then guard it. Finally she cursed Alan telling him he was a dead man he was only one man they would pop him soon. `` You can try but right now I have a count of xxiii to nothing you make twenty-four, bye squawk ! '' Alan said as the ball of fire engulfed the womanhood then was gone as soon as her screams stopped.

Taking a rich breather Alan tried to tranquilize down still not noticing his skin was glowing an intense reddish blue colouring material. Hopix was startled she had to contact the council as soon as she could, in all the thou of long time she 'd been doing this she 'd never seen a human express his power visually while on ground. Smiling she thought it had to be Alan he was the most unusual human being she 'd ever met or ... shaking her fountainhead no ! He could n't be ! There was no way ! Sighing she could see she would have to carry another misstep home too, matter were starting to get stranger by the moment.

They 'd both just gotten in to his room when the light council contacted them. `` Alan please forgive us but we have a face that we need you on, it appears that this planet is about to die. It has been drained to the full stop that the marrow has started to destabilize. It also appears to be the same one you met on the last planet, Do you believe you are rested enough to face him ? ''

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

'' good, please leave at once, '' the council ordered. Alan laid down, Hopix flying to his position, `` be careful Alan, this one is far sassy than his pal, plus I feel that he will ingest many outflow plans. ''

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

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

Appearing next to the again lizard shaped magic substance abuser, Alan reached in crushing his physical body shifting ability. The lizard beast screamed looking at Alan, again Alan crushed two, then three, and then a fourth ability before the lizard 's middle got huge and he flashed out. beshrew it ! Hopix had warned me but I was so anxious to stop 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 existence on the major planet close to destruction, freezing all of it, Alan tried to accelerate the energy feeding back into the planet, finally the planet started to sense more like it should.

Releasing all the life story was harder than he thought, within moments a massive amount of green fuzzy lifespan figure were crowded around him. Alan, though tire, had to make this planet good, extending, he first protected the sum, then the existence.

They all stared at Alan with wide optic then they all bowed, `` We thank you Tranzarie no former has ever shown the lovingness and compassion that you have. If you ever have need of us, you forever have an ally and protagonist in all of us. '' the leader said.

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

'' Yes Tranzarie, we are called Trembly, '' the leader replied. `` We will call forth an simulacrum to you so that all will know that we are not alone that at least one being tending for us. ''

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

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

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

The leader bowed, `` we respect your wishes Tranzarie when you can we would greatly hump a opportunity to actually play you. When you depart this will stick to you and be near you, it has a smashing many more benefits than just traveling. Please be well Tranzarie. ''

Alan just blinked, ok where was the fighting ? The suffering he had to still ? This was an unusual case there was nothing that he 's gone through in the first three eccentric he 'd been on. Still unable 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 love of a people for really doing nothing but showing that he cared ? Alright he thought what was the joke ! null was ever that well-to-do especially for me ! Suddenly Alan felt a tug and was opening his eyes 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 loose character. '' He then proceeded to distinguish the council everything that had happened.

'' postponement, '' the elder spoke up, `` you actually entered his psyche and crushed his ability ? ''

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

All of the council penis were sitting there with loose back talk, they 'd cogitate it a trematode when Alan had done it to the man on Hopix 's world but for him to actually do it in a engagement was far more impressive.

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

Again the council penis were amazed not only had he defeated the lizard man, taken some of his tycoon but the Trembly had actually spoken to Alan an unheard of thing ! A consequence 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 heart swelled with pride, she knew when she 'd found him that he was especial, 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 block that Alan had, a block that could let Alan go anywhere he desired, even the few thousands of out of use worlds. It had been no wonder the shadow council had attack the Trembly public.

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

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

Hopix 's eye grew large, but how ? No one had heard anything from that planet in over 5000 years she should know she 'd station her younger sidekick to investigate. If it were true perhaps her house could be whole again. snag began to fall from her face she hoped it was true she had missed her Brother fiercely.

Alan stood transfixed staring at the cube seeing vista that only he could see playing before his oculus. Moving closer Hopix touched Alan 's shoulder suddenly she was immersed in the Lapp image standing future 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 laying waste and decay. Suddenly they both heard a small cry for service, rapidly they were drawn to where the vocalization 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 power to go there ?

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

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

Alan just nodded then turned, `` I realize this but this was a real cry for avail that I can not ignore, if I can free the earth, I will, if not, then I will pass on it with those, that wish to leave. Please be ready either way, we both know that the darkness council is upset over losing those four reality I feel Hopix 's existence would sustain given them an advantage that might not receive been overcome. They know I have the square block and I feel they are preparing for my comer. ''

The stallion council nodded each imprint with Alan 's desire to free all that he could on the sister world. Looking at Hopix he nodded, `` I 'll bring him abode if I can, get laid this, '' Hopix nodded and threw her weapon system around Alan 's neck, tears falling freely and unashamedly then Alan touched his other paw to the cube and was gone.

Oh my god ! Hopix thought he actually went there ! Hopix knew that the Trembly were mighty but she did n't think they were that knock-down ! I have to do something she thought, thinking of the live on place he 'd gone Hopix concentrated 'til she was standing on the control surface of the planet. Her mouth opened in amazement it was beautiful ! She sat not trusted what to do or who to verbalise to. Looking at many of the flowers she smiled using her deception to bring them fully into salad days. They were so lovely ! The beings here must bonk them, no longer concentrating she started to fetch as many of the prime to bloom as she could, the aroma was so just she just could n't quit. It was about this prison term that she noticed quite a few of the immature blurred being watching her. Suddenly afraid, she went to the elderberry bush, `` elderberry bush sir, I wish to apologize to you and your multitude for bringing your flowers out early. They were so cover girl 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 chronicle have we had a brawny charming being help us, and in the same day another right magical being apologize to us. Tell me little one, are you acquainted with the Tranzarie Alan ? ''

Hopix mouth dropped assailable, she was just trying to facilitate a habit she 'd gotten from Alan, how did they know ?

obeisance 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 elbow 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 picayune one, to us emotions are zip to finger and register, 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 flower when he saved us all, a minor point compared to all the former life here. ''

'' I am worried senior, 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 dark 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 think clearer he will be fine but he needs you small one, do n't think he does n't and do n't wait too long before you tell him or the secret of your mass. ''

Again Hopix could only stare at the elder.

Alan appeared on an undetermined orbit, there seemed to be nothing alive at all. Even as he stood there a pocket-sized squad of Fairixies moved in to attack him, it was almost the Sami 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 mind 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 .
