Chapter 6

Alan pulled the leader of the squad inside his shield, the squad though confused continued its onslaught. Not wanting to play with them all day Alan let loose a blast knocking all of the squad out. Clearing their minds and blocking all outside thoughts.

Alan had reached the last one when the Fairixie stared straight at Alan, “You think you’re so fucking righteous don’t you mother fucker? You’re gonna learn what real fucking pain is, there are 10 of us on this planet. You best remember that you might get 1 maybe 2 but you won’t get all of us! I’ll so enjoy your fucking death you sack of shit!” Then the voice was gone the woman stared at Alan after he cleared her mind and blocked everything.

“What have you done?” She screamed, “I can’t hear my master!”

Shit he’d been afraid of this, snapping his fingers he brought all but the one within the shield.

“I don’t know how you can call THAT a master, a cruel, torturing, non-caring ass. He cares nothing for you, he has you fooled.” Alan threw at the Fairixie.

“No you’re wrong master loves me, cares for me as he does all of us.” The woman shouted back.

Several of the Fairixies with Alan shouted at her that she was a fool; all he’d done was torture them and take their powers. The lone woman’s eyes got huge but she still refused to relent her position then flew off.

Looking at the group of scared and shaking women Alan asked if they had a safe place to go. When they answered yes but it was small and only a few could go there Alan said that he’d make it bigger and stronger. Arriving they were met with several shrill screams, many there were trying to hide.

The leader stepped away from Alan telling all there what Alan had done for them, and how they were free of the voices and that Alan said that the voices would never be there again. Finally things calmed down Alan again was enraged that the peace loving Fairixies were being tortured, subjected to horrors of the mind and body that Alan was sure would have drove him crazy long before now. Reaching out Alan first enlarged the area they were living in, this of course brought out concern that now they would be an easier target. Alan just shook his head no and started to strengthen the weak shield around the area. Next he went to each of the wounded trying to heal all the physical wounds first. Huh the last time this had worn him out so quickly, was this the advantage to actually being here?

Shaking his head he still couldn’t believe that they had harmed the children. Hours later Alan was completely done when they all heard an angry buzzing sound, at one of the openings two squads began to pour in ready to? All of them stopped as soon as they were inside, the confusion on their faces apparent. Alan quickly seized them all clearing their minds then blocking all outside influence.

A few of those that had just come in began to scream like the one from before, damn it thought Alan just how stupid are these people? Snapping his fingers the five that had complained were gone outside the safe area. “I don’t think he’ll send anymore to attack here,” Alan said, sighing. Alan could see he need to expand again, as he did he felt another safe area not all that far away. Opening a through way Alan soon had both areas connected though he’d actually have to go to the other to strengthen it. The same squad leader said that she would take him after she returned. The woman left down the new tunnel Alan had dug, reappearing in less than five minutes with an elder.

“She has told me you are a Mazey, that you were on the great home planet of all Fairixies, is this true?” Alan nodded and stared into the eyes of the elder. Tears began to flow from his eyes, “ah Queen Glimmer is as beautiful as she was when we left. Please come help I can already feel the spirit of our people so strong here if we have enough of this I know we can defeat the ten deadly masters.”

Alan nodded he was going to do all he could though there were ten he knew that there was a way to defeat them, sighing he just had to find it smirking he also thought yeah and survive also.

Emerging outside the area, Alan surrounded himself and the elder with a shield, slowly they made their way almost another mile across the twisted dying landscape. Finally pissed off Alan stopped the elder, “I have to repair this,” waving his hand he saw how it was, then how it should be within a few moments the air cleared, color returned to the land. The elder smiled, ah! He hadn’t seen this since they had arrived. Going further they had almost reached the next sanctuary when more squads attacked, how many he wasn’t sure. Hmmm so they thought they could over power him huh? Reaching out Alan was through playing with these guys, a huge wave flowed from him shocking all the Fairixies.

Alan had to hurry knowing that they would recover quickly. Damn there had to be over two hundred here; the last two were clearing when a different voice came from them. “So, you are really here, we were warned that you might try to re-take this world. Come we await and welcome you to try, once you are dead and your power ours, nothing will stand in our way!” Alan smiled it was this type of bragging that the one on Hopix’s world had spouted, pathetic.

“Well you can try that’s all I have to say, but even with ten of you I doubt you could win. Especially with all that I have freed. The less you have command of, the less power you have; you really don’t have any power of your own!” Alan sneered.

Enraged, (not again) fireballs started to fly at Alan. Alan had learned since last time, opening a portal in front of his shield, he heard screams on the other side. Smiling Alan thought that was one less to worry about even if it didn’t kill him it would render him unable to do much. Moments later all the squads awoke, looking around they all seemed lost. Well all but ten of them, those he isolated together, sighing when they started to scream at him. The rest of them Alan pulled within his shield, most were staring at the elder and Alan. As they all started to bow to Alan, he shook his head. “Do not bow, I am not a god!”

One of the women staring at the ground started to whisper, “You are Mazey, and you are to be bowed to and served.”

“No, I am not like the others, I am here to free your people,” Alan stated.

Several of the women looked up at Alan, then at the elder who was shaking his head yes.

Starting to walk again, Alan and the others arrived at the second sanctuary. Waving his hand they all appeared within the confines of the sanctuary. Again there was a lot of screaming and Fairixies scurrying to hide from him. Even with the Elder there, there were still too afraid to come out. Shaking his head and for the moment isolated, Alan stretched out his arms feeling the shield defenses. Pushing, he soon had them enlarged, next he began to expand the interior of the hide away, walking around again he found a young being the others had abandoned when they fled. More angry than he could believe he looked at the twisted, burnt, suffering little girl. Trying to calm his self again there was more screaming as his hands began to glow. Not caring Alan stooped over the little girl, Alan could see the fear in her eyes but more than anything else he saw the horrible pain she was going through. Holding her hand, Alan’s tears began to flow from his eyes, this in turn caused the little girl to no longer fear him, trying to lift her hand she whispered “It’s ok great Mazey, it doesn’t hurt that much, I will be fine please don’t cry.”

Suddenly the little girl’s skin began to glow then started to clear the little girl looked up at Alan in surprise. Then her broken arm straightened and was whole again the little girl was shocked, Alan looked deep into her eyes seeing a sparkle appear that hadn’t been there before. Alan saw the elder approach keeping the rest back, staring in disbelief at the wonders Alan was accomplishing. Finally a mere twenty minutes later the little girl sat up her eyes opened wide, throwing her arms around Alan, she whispered a heartfelt thank you then kissed him on the cheek.

“Please cheer up now great Mazey, also if you can, my friends were hurt also though not as bad as I was. I tried to stop the bad Mazey from hurting them, so I didn’t mind when he hurt me as long as he stopped hurting them.”

Again tears fell freely from his eyes, god, he thought, I wish I had half the courage she does.

Following her they went further back in the sanctuary, in another room there were dozens of children who were hurt along with quite a few adults.

Again Alan’s ire grew ‘til his hands were glowing, kneeling he started to heal them two at a time, often staying in one place almost a half an hour.

Many sat up startled, many thought they’d never walk nor fly again forever in pain from twisted and broken limbs. Finally all of them were healed, Alan felt tired, a good tired he finally felt he was truly helping. Sitting he leaned against the wall fighting the urge to sleep, he’d helped them sure but that was no guarantee they wouldn’t attack him if he fell asleep. The elder floated over to him, “Sleep Mazey you are safe, and no one will attack you.”

Nodding Alan drifted off, soon he was back in his room, Hopix turned staring at him her tear streaked face more than standing out to him.”I have freed many but nowhere near enough yet; this world is so much bigger compared to your world. I will return when I can Hopix.” Alan told her.

“Please be careful Alan, the ten sounds extremely dangerous,” Hopix stated.

“Well nine of them, I’ve already taken one out of the picture, he won’t bother me after I burned him.” Alan told her.

From behind him he heard the council, “that’s good though you still have the other nine,” the council leader said.
