Wishworld, Endings and Beginnings V

"Shut up for a minute, will ya? I need to concentrate for this."

Jason tightened his focus towards the oncoming car. His skin tensed as spiderlines of subtle energy fanned out from his consciousness, seeking out and wrapping around barely visible grains of sand in the air.

In the back of his mind was a small theatre where he watched himself get hit by a car over and over again.

Quit it, he thought, pushing the vision away. Of course, the premonition only intensified as the car drew closer.

Warning bells exploded in his head.

Stupid second sight, he thought angrily. Stupid Keith Lester.

Events slowed down for Jason at times like these, but when he was in any kind of danger, even when it was deliberate, his threat sense would continue to launch warning like suicide bombers against his central consciousness. Sometimes, this made fine control so hard...

He wrenched his thoughts free of all distractions. Then the grains of sand converged on the car and the force of his will turned them to glass.

The vision disappeared, and suddenly there was no problem at all.

"Wii are the good guys here, Jason. Remember that."

Eliot heard Pia's voice through speakers at his ear. The sound was so realistic that he could imagine her standing right next to him. He ran his fingers over the controls of the ship he was flying. The Hot Dog.

The Hot Dog represented the holy grail of sapien science, the product of a thousand years of technological advancement. It was equipped with various weapons, including energy beams, gas jets, liquid nitrogen emitters, plasma cannons and hull armor capable of withstanding devastating amounts of damage. The Hot Dog could lift weights in excess of 75 tons and could fly at 225 miles per hour. And those were only the preliminary specs. The Hot Dog possessed so many complex functions and abilities Eliot himself was not aware of them all.

"Guys." He spoke into his headset. "Come on. Back to the Mansion. We should really get going."

On the inside of the glass cage Jason had created for the perpetrators, two masked criminals lay inside the badly damaged car, still in their seats. Another had been thrown free by the impact and impaled on a wicked spike rising from the floor. There were shards of glass everywhere.

One of the survivors stirred. Slowly, he sat up and took in his surroundings.

"Oh shit. Ace!" He shook the unconscious man. "Pull it together! We can't stay here!"

Ace rolled over on the dashboard, mumbling incoherently. The other man pulled a handgun from his shoulder holster and fired a shot into the frame of the car. Ace woke with a start.

"What the hell? Azfar-?!"

"They got us." Azfar said simply. "And you should remember we're still on the field."

"Yeah, you're right - BLANK! FUCK!" The two of them finally spotted their third party member.

A small explosion blew one side of the car open. “Oh man this is bad!” Azfar climbed out of his seat and ran towards the spot where Blank lay in an impossible position, suspended by the stalagmite that had taken his life.

“That is the deadest corpse I have ever seen.” Azfar looked away from the body.

Ace kicked viciously at the car door. It fell open. "What the hell is this? Glass?" He walked over to the walls of his prison.

“It’s glass.” Azfar was examining the walls as well. “There are a hell lot of impurities, but you can see a bit of the outside. Remember the sand clouds around us earlier? Someone must have turned the sand into glass just like that. What kind of person has that kind of power?”

“Who gives?” Ace picked up a sword from the floor of the car. “They’re dead. Detonator, break us out of here. Time to teach these punks a lesson in fury.”

There are two references in this installation. See if you can spot both. I might decide to colour the comic, the main reason why I'm undecided on this is because it took hours just to get it online in black and white. The scanning and lettering processes are like my own personal hell.

Anyway, Wishworld is officially back. What did you think of the latest episode?

Oh, and by the way those bastards at the Star stole my date. People like Mahadi and Sabrina will remember me talking about it. It just makes me so mad.

Now for some Kingdom Hearts. Did you know that Sora can actually use Trinity Limit alone?
