The cold wind sailed through the princes now just above shoulder length hair, causing it to flap to and fro in front of his face. His blistering yellow eyes fixed onto the scared blues of his sister, the men fighting and dying in between them not the subject that was floating in either’s mind. Eventually, after lost minutes passed, Sophie broke the thoughtful silence.
“Who are you?” She questioned, disbelief glowing in her eyes as well as a slight knowledge.
“You know who I am Sophie” He threw back at her
“But do I?” She questioned once more. He didn’t answer back seeing the backup she was receiving. Rad appeared behind her, followed by Paul, then Flo and eventually kitty, who was the first to speak up.
“Where is shana James” She asked with authority.
“Wouldn’t you like to know” He answered with a smirk
“What have you done with her my son” Paul asked calmly
“I am not your son any longer!” He yelled unexpectedly, startling Sophie.
“Like it or not, your are my son, and you always will be”
“I don’t HAVE to be anything you want me to! I am my own man! I rely only on myself! I don’t need or want or even slightly think about meeting anyone of you again!” He yelled with anger
“Well what about your mother” Kitty put forward. James eyes widened.
“What about your children” Sophie added
“What about Shana!” Flo put forward
“You are just as bad as your grandfather” Paul stated, “You don’t care about the people you once fought to protect, you don’t care that your own flesh and blood are …”
“Locked away in metro’s cell!” He interrupted, hiding his emotions as much as he could. Everyone gasped.
“Yes” He answered straight away, his voice wavering a little in the middle. Sophie narrowed her eyes in analysis. Wavering voices were often the way to tell if something was wrong with him. Something was up here. Paul stepped towards his son in his anger, fists readied by his side. Sophie quickly threw her arm out to stop him.
“Wait dad! Something is wrong here” She stated, not taking her eyes of James. James cursed under his breath. Why did she always know when something was wrong with him when no one else could see it?
“Come on Sophie!” She cheered on. Metro hesitantly became concerned. Suddenly the door burst open and in stepped blaze.
“Master, what is happening?” he asked calmly.
“Why what have you sensed lord blaze?” Metro asked nervous for the second time today.
“I sense a plan sir” Shana looked away from them confused. A plan?
“Well my master of course …”
“And why did you not?” She interrupted him. He glared at her, only awarding a smirk on the princess young face. Paul stared at his daughter in confusion.
“What are you doing, our men are loosing their lives” Paul brought her back.
“He is not who he says he is father” She looked behind and around her, finally spotting the flying camera. She smirked again, making sure to make it looked like she missed it. However, the bright princess needed proof. She suddenly sprang of the ground, taking everyone by surprise including the prince.
“Sophie no!” Paul yelled jumping off after her. All the other masters followed. The prince stared wide-eyed at the concentration and technique of his sister. She had been training. What was he going to do?
Before he could come up with any idea, she thrust her fist into his face, knocking the prince back a bit. He didn’t counter attack; after all he didn’t know how to react. He just kept flying back until he hit the floor. Sophie stood tall, hands on hips as the other masters landed. Paul stepped in front of his daughter.
“Just what are you doing! If he hadn’t of been surprised he would have killed you!” Paul yelled at his now only daughter.
“Then why didn’t he” She answered, looking hard at her father.
“Sophie, look at it from my point of view. You are my only daughter now and …”
“What do you mean only daughter?” James interrupted, getting up without a scratch. It was at this point that Paul realised what his daughter was doing. Metro had obviously not told him about what he did to Sue, his daughter was a genius.
“Your so called master killed her, without a second thought. Pined her up with knives through her throat” James just stared silently, eyes empty.
“He …” James started, but couldn’t finish
“What’s wrong Son, upset?” James looked at Sophie, his eyes now brown and showing agreement. A small nod was given to her, and she nodded in similar fashion to that. James suddenly stood tall, an evil glint in his eyes.
“Why would I be upset because of that worms death!” he stated harshly, catching the king by surprise. Could he be wrong?
“Alright” He suddenly shot his hand forward and let loose a stream of energy. The blast directed at his once close sister.
“No!” Paul yelled
Sophie jumped in the air and blasted off into the sky, the blast following her as she had predicted. Randomly she shot to different parts of the sky, before blasting through the air at the supposedly hidden camera. Skilfully, she reached the camera and handstand over it in the air, causing the blast to smash into the camera
“What the hell was that!?” Rad yelled out in confusion before blasting of into the air to comfort his girlfriend. James fell to his knees as soon as Rad took to the air. Paul noticed this and stared in confusion at this sudden and weird move.
“Order your men to stop fighting” James said to his father. Paul’s mouth dropped open as if on cue. “I said make them stop!” He yelled as he rose. “My troops!” The prince yelled as his loyal troops stopped their fighting and looked at him.
“Loyal soldiers of my long lasting kingdom! Stop your fighting!” Paul yelled as well turning to James for him to carry on.
“My troops, you have been loyal to me, you have obeyed my every move, but one of you I must talk to. JAIL GUARD!!!” he yelled at the top of his voice, knowing there was only one jail guard present. Quickly the guard stepped up to his leader.
“Yes sir!” He respected.
“Your name is?” James asked
“Nigel sir!”
“Well, Nigel, I would like to congratulate you on your fine working, putting the small royalty, my two children in jail”
“Well thank you sir, it wasn’t always easy at times, but with a good slap they were as good as dead,” He stated with a laugh, James laughed with him.
“Yes well good Job man”
“Thank you so very much sir! And that woman as well, phwoar! She has it coming to her later sir, I can tell you if you get what I mean”
“Yes I get what you mean …” James suddenly ignited his sabre and stabbed through the stomach of the former jail guard. “Now get what’s coming to you in hell” He told the dying man through gritted teeth as he pushed the sabre right through him. The man died within an instant. Once dead, James put the blade out, and turned to the rest of the troops.
“This guard was not loyal to me, unlike the rest of you” he turned to his father’s shocked expression and made his way towards him.
“But why did you …” Paul started still in shock.
“Father, could you ever forgive me. I have cheated you, I have fought you, and I have named you liar. But I did this for the protection of my family” James stated, hanging his head.
“Protection?” The king questioned.
“Yes. I had these dreams that shana would be killed, and that I wouldn’t be strong enough to save her. Metro comforted these dreams and led me into false security. Then when he told me and showed my mother, a fake copy I soon found out, he tricked me. Even as we speak shana and Zack and Rose are locked away in a cell in Metro’s base” James voice was sombre.
The king’s eyes softened, taking pity on his son. He placed a soft hand on the prince shoulder.
“You are my son after all” He replied in a soft voice. James looked up at him and smiled. He was so happy, but only one thing could make him whole. He stood up and waited for his sister to land.
“Father, would you mind if I take charge”
“I’m not …” He started but was interrupted by Sophie giving him daggers “Sure” He answered, changing his mind. James nodded his head in thanks, before turning to face his new team.
“Masters, before I give you your orders, I would like to say one thing” James stated in a harsh and authoritive voice, then being replaced by a warm smile. “It is good to see you all again” The other masters were still in shock by this turn of events, but were not prepared to give up on a challenge. They smiled back at him, showing that he had been accepted. Rad stepped forward and held out his hand, his elbow bent. James smiled a toothy smile, and slapped it. The two friends were best friends again.
“It hasn’t been the same without you bro” Rad commented.
“Likewise brother” He answered back with a cool smirk. “Now here is what we are going to do!” He ordered, slipping back into commander mode. “First of all we get my troops my kingdoms uniform. They deserve better than metro and blaze,” He ordered, smiling at his troops. A roar of praise went up, as they chanted their leaders name once more. He held up his hand, cutting them off.
“We are all equals here! No matter if we are royalty, or soldier! We are all brothers!” Another roar went up, apart from a clearing of the throat from kitty. “And sisters!” He added, turning his head and smiling at kitty. She immediately forgave him for everything, and if she were to face the harsh facts, they needed him now more than ever. “We will have our revenge! Metro and Blaze do not know what is coming to them! They are trying to tackle us! But instead we will tackle them!” He yelled with an evil glint in his eyes. Another roar went up as they all crowded their returned prince. He punched the air in victory, and all followed.
Sophie at this point realised something. While her brother was gone, they weren’t just missing his power, they were missing the character. And now that he was back, nothing in this universe could stop them. Nothing!
