The fine line between insanity and creativity
"Well, it's pretty complicated." said Marcus. "Like Mel said, it's more or less the Metool brand of magic. There are five elements within our grasp: fire, water, earth, wind, and divine. Each element can be channeled through either the Spoken Word or Artificial Words. Here's a demonstration of the Spoken Word."

Marcus muttered an incantation in Metool, and a small flame appear over his finger.

"A metool's voice is the catalyst for the spell." he said as the flame disappeared. "Artificial Words are gemostones forged from Metool's Salve, a very volitile substance made from molten Met Ore and enchantments. In fact, the arrowheads on Oliver's arrows are Artificial Words."

***

Aqua Beast's eyes seemed to sparkle with delight. She didn't even wish to argue semantics. "Thank you, Frostman." said she. "That really means a lot to me."

"Most interesting..." said Emeraldo as he paid attention carefully "Do you think there is any way I'd be able to learn some of the Spoken Word abilities, or would I have to rely on Artificial Words?"

Dynamax was listening in on the talk of the Metools, curious to hear about the world the boy who claims to be his son is from. He wondered if he was truly his father did he know any of this himself.


Sonata cautiously takes his hand. "Nice to meet you." She was half curious if she just gave him a DNA sample.


"You're welcome I guess." Frost Man didn't seem to grasp the importance of his statement to her, mostly because as far as he was concerned this was a foregone conclusion. "So...I got a question. Are you...ok in there whent he other one is...the body?" Frost Man asks carefully to make sure his question is understood by the both of them.

"Sure." said Aqua Beast. "It's just how our relationship works. You see..."

She stopped talking. She was unsure about telling Frostman about her origins. It might make him mad.

***

Marcus paused to think. "So, you interested in becoming a Metool Alchemist yourslef?" he asked with a slight chuckle. "Sounds fine by me. But let me warn you now, it's anything but easy.

"Unless you know some level of alchemy, the Spoken Word is baisically closed to you. But that doesn't mean that using Artificial Words is any easier. Metool's Salve ain't molding clay. Picture a wildfire, a sudden ice age, a tornado, and an earthquake happening all at once. Now picture just your hand going through all that. That's what it's like to touch Metool's Salve without the proper protection. The actual forging of Artificial Words is no picnic, either. You screw up, and the aforementioned disasters go through your entire body as the whole thing explodes in your face. You have to be very careful when working with Metool's Salve, needless to say."

"It's actually become illegal to export Metool's Salve outside of the kingdom's borders because of how dangerous it is to novices." added Melody.

"I see what?" Frost Man was wondering why she stopped. "Tell me more. I wanna know you better."

"I think she's worrid about your temper you big lug." Buffalo says.

"Why? I never hit Aqua before ever and I never ever will. Now clown Man I'll hit until my arms fall off." Frost Man says.

"He's amnesiac right now, it wouldn't be fair." Buffalo says.

"So he needs those puffer things?" Frost Man asks.

"That's asthmatic." Buffalo sighs. "At least you got confused over a fancy medical term this time."

Emeraldo lost his usual tone for a second as he went "I see..."

But after a few seconds he said to Melody and Marcus "Well, I'll admit, it does sound a bit scary.. But it doesn't intimidate me too much. I know I'd probably make some mistakes before I'd get it right, but when I do get it right, I know it'd be worth it."

"Didn't mean to scare ya." said Marcus. "I was just stating what you need to know if you decide to pursue this."

***

"Well, okay." said Aqua Beast. "Anyway, I was originally created as a computer virus. A very malicious virus that turned reploids and Robot Masters into savage beasts. I happened to infect Aquagirl quite by accident. She cried." Aqua Beast started to tear up herself. "I didn't want her to cry. She was so young. I couldn't take everything away from her. So, I change my programing, and became a sort of alternate persona inside of her. Whenever she's in danger, I appear to defend her. But I can only stay this way for a short time before I exhaust my stamina, and need to rest."

She sighed. "So, how do you see me now that I've told you this, Frostman?"

"With my eyes of course." Frost Man says dumbly.

"What do you think of her after her story?" Buffalo butts in long enough to clarify.

"Oh. Sorry." Frost Man chuckles. "You're like me with brother Aqua. I was a bad guy too once but I got better. We're heroes now." He then sighs. "Just...don't fail like I did. It hurts real bad." He recalls what took so long to sink in.

"Well, I do thank you for being honest about what I needed to know." said Emeraldo to Marcus "I do wish to pursue it."

---

"...Phew, finally done." said SG Cobra to himself as he set down a book, oblivious to nearly everything else that has been happening around him "I didn't think info on the Dark World was gonna take up this many books. But if it does get me at least one step closer to curing my ailment, then it was worth it."

"That's the spirit." said Marcus. "You got guts, Emeraldo. I like that. If I wasn't still in training, I'd take you on as an apprentice myself."

Melody gave Marcus a blank stare of disbelief. "Do you really mean that, or are you just pulling his chain?"

"Hey, when it comes to alchemy, I don't joke around. It's a delicate and serious craft. If he's dedicated to it, then I'll answer any questions he has." said Marcus.

"I promise you, Frostman. I won't fail." said Aqua Beast. "And, thank you for understanding. It really means a lot to me."

ooc: I apologize for the double-post.

The doors opened, and Spade Magnets floated in.

"Oh, Spade. What are you doing back here?" asked Queen Virgo.

"The other place is too chaotic at the moment, what with that huge fight and all." said Spade. "I'm sticking around here until it dies down."

"Huh. That's so unlike you." said Dia.

"Yeah, well. Things were already a bit of a mess, anyway." said Spade. "If I got riled up, I'd just be adding to it."

"I hope they're alright." said Iris with a sigh.

Suddenly the doors fly open and a man with a glowing suit and electric guitar walks in. "OH YEAHH!!! ROCK ON BABY!!! JACK ZAP IS IN THE HOUSE!!!"

"I didn't hide the beer in Cold Man again I swear" Hard Man says, waking up in a daze. "What the...oh God not him." Hard Man puts his face in his hands.

"It's Uncle Zap!!" Both Star Man and Gigavolt say together before looking at each other curiously.

"How do you know him?" Star Man asks.

"He lives with me." Gigavolt says.

"I was wondering what happened when Auntie Ann kickd him out." Star Man muses.

Suddenly a chord snaps on Zap's guitar. "Ann...WHYDIDYOUTAKEEVERYTHINGFROMMEYOUUNGREATFULSHREW!!?" He says before breaking down into tears.

"Nice job Star. Next you gonna bring up you-know-who?" Hard Man says with appaluse.

"Shut up." Star sighs.

"It's good to see you too, Sir Zap." said Mistral with a slight bow.

"Hey, y'need help fixing that guitar there?" Sonia asked Zap. "I'm pretty good when it comes to that sort of thing."

***

Aqua Beast yawned. "It's about time for me to shift back. It was nice talking to you, Frostman. Perhaps we can talk again sometime." She then shifted back to Aquagirl, who was fast asleep.

"Ok, seeya next time other Sister." Frost Man waved goodbye.


"Uh? Wait when did you all get here?" Count Zap says. "I've been back on Code island waiting for you all to come home. I had to throw out a hand made meal...then Shad's annoying bat thing flies in and tells me to come here." He then notices Sonia. "Fix whAAAHHHHHHH!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" He says, noticing his damaged string.


"Ummm....ok.....I guess." Sonata remained hesitant, looking to see if Sigma was close first in case one of them had to stop the other should this get weird or unpleasant.
