//------------------------------// // Prologue-Frozen Blue Rose // Story: Controling the blaze // by adaptroug //------------------------------// The pain of time goes on and on, why is this, all because of a stupid curse. Even I lost track of when that happened. I was trying to save my friend, Josh, from a witch. Instead of Josh being sacrificed and this curse placed on him, I offered myself to the witch. She tied me to the center support of her ran down shack as he was forced to watch. She slit my wrists as I felt my own warm blood gush down my palms as she spoke, "Willing servant, now immortal, Let the fire take you, become you," She walked around me poring a liquid on me, "Exchange my mortality, Bring his beastly end, A firry one, and destroy everything!!!!!!!!" She then lit some straw on fire and set me on fire with the straw. My friend escaped yet neither the which nor myself escaped the burning hut. One thousand years ago. I silently trudged through the deep snow. I had gotten word of another cursed one in the area. "Walker you there," I said over the current top-of-the-line communicator he had given me. "*static* Out *static* back at bace *static* NOW," He screamed as the Cold tundra kept cooling me off keeping me from accessing most of my power as well as blocking off communicatior. "Why, Walker tell me whats going on!!" I yelled knowing even though I couldn't die Walker is just a mortal with no power except for his bravery, often times forgetting his own mortality. I listened to the communicator but all I could hear was the sound of the cold static. I must find the cursed one and convince whoever he or she is too help build the new Cyber corp. I eventually found myself exhausted, a rare feeling for me, yet knowing I couldn't die I lied down in the snow to catch my breath, yet something didn't feel right. I truly felt cold as my eyes closed. I guess my condition looked bad because I found myself in a darkened cave when I awoke. I Blinked a few times to allow my cursed thermal vision to kick in. Looking around the cave I saw not only there being no heat source but a girl, dressed in a black hooded leather jacket over a her white heavy cloths, curled up in a ball, shivering, somehow colder then the walls of the cave. "Are you alright," I asked. The girl got up She seemed about my body's age appearance with snow white hair that seemed to be frozen. "You shouldn't be alive after what you went through," She said, her voice though seemed to be coated with fear and depression though, yet even her voice was shaking, "how are you still alive?" "Same way as you I guess," I said trying to throw her off. If she really is cursed why is she here, I thought. "You are nothing like me!!!" she yelled. I could feel the room get colder. "I have seen people die in this blizzard!! It never stops, It only gets worse," She continued yet I could tell this was not anger. "I know how you feel," I said catching her off guard, "I have seen many people die in my life. Even when I try my hardest to save them." I seem to have gotten through to her and the cave started to warm up a bit. "Even when it was inevitable, they all told me to keep going," I said giving a small smile, "And that is what I've done all my life." "But how do you, a mortal, live knowing your death is inevitable," She said the room cooling off again. "How about I get the pleasure of knowing your name before my demise," I said trying to keep her happy. "If you must know my name, it's Alexia," she said smiling. "They call me Temp," I said taking off my light jacket and placing it over her, "Now how about we get out of this blizzard and back to my friends base camp, You might find it better living outside this cave then where you are now." "You might be right," Alexia started, "But the blizzard will kill you." "I think not," I said igniting a ball of fire above my hand, "Fire will always burn as long as there is fuel." We were able to navigate the blizzard after it seemed to lighten up and were able to find my teams small base camp. We approached the camp and I saw Maxwell Walker riding through the snow on a snowmobile fitted with a jet engine as well as it's standard motor. "I thought you died in that blizzard you fiery dog," Maxwell said getting off the snowmobile. "You should know your the only person that could die out here Maxwell," I said. "Who is this?" Alexia said slightly confused. "This is Maxwell Walker, he is the one that is leading all of us for a better future," I said, "Walker this is Alexia." Five years later. Alexia seemed to take a liking to her powers and decided to take a new name for herself, Krio. When I asked her why she simply said it was a greek word for cold. We walked around Cyber corp. looking for anyone that needed help working on the building. "You think we would have found more like us by now," I said looking in one of the resting chambers. "I've been meaning to ask this, but how far back do you and Walker go?" Krio asked. "Fifteen years now, yet he was a inspirational man even before we met." "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "What was that," we said a bit startled as we ran in the direction of the scream. We ran straight to the source of the scream which happened to be in Maxwell's quarters. "Walker!!" I yelled as I kicked down the door only to find there were two of them, the only difference was one had a white aura around him and the other had a black aura around him. The Walker in the black aura seemed to be erasing the other from existence. "This power... all this power.... It's exhilarating," Walker said as the black aura around him faded. "What have you done to Walker imposter!!" I yelled making sure Krio was behind me if he tried that again. "Now Prince Phyro Why you know me..... Wait just a," He paused for a moment, "Appears he couldn't make it after all." "I will ask once again, What have you done to walker," I yelled once again. "You are persistent aren't you. apparently all the negative's have the similar personalities," He said floating on his back, "Hey Cerberus. Kill." That moment a beast dog with three heads smashed through the back wall and let out a terrifying mechanical roar. "Get out of here, RUN!!!!!" I yelled at Krio but found that the security door had been sealed shut. "I'm afraid you won't have any running away from this," He said flying by me grabbing me throwing me agents the wall then turning his attention to Krio. "Kiro Get out of here," I screamed again, "This is no normal cursed one." He stabbed her through her heart, this action wouldn't kill a cursed immortal like us but this was different, as he pulled her still beating heart out she started to fade from existence. "Kiro!!!" I yelled running to her. "L-li-ive on, L-like y-you a-always did," she said before leaving two things here that didn't fade away, A frozen blue rose and her jacket. "Well, that was fun, Lets try killing you now!" he said with a smile that could scare a madman. He went to rip out my heart but was blown back by a wall of fire that melted out a few other floors sliding them out of place. I looked him in the eye as his smile faded turning into a look of fear. "This wasn't suppose to happen!!!!" He yelled. Dropping down the uncompleted side of cyber corp. I put on kiro's jacket and picked up the rose before diapering into the croud of people forming around the section of the fallen building.
