Victim of the Unfading

In the year 1918, four people decided to revive an old secret society called Ravan Cross. The four members were named Hic Jones, Cannon Hall, Emily Potter, and Jim Redd. About a year before the Roman Empire fell, there was a group of people called Raven Cross. Raven Cross's goal was to protect people of lands that were being oppressed by their rulers. Ravan Cross secretly had their headquarters in Pompeii, but Raven Cross was not only on earth it was in other universes also.Revan Cross could travel through portals to other worlds such as The The Navitlor Agency and The Dark Acolytes. But the Raven Cross headquarters was destroyed when Pompeii was covered in lava from Mount Vesuvius. Once the main headquarters was destroyed all of the Raven Cross members in other worlds started to wonder what happened to the main headquarters. And most of the members started to leave Raven Cross, and almost all of them did. About ten years after the destruction of Pompeii, Raven Cross has completely wiped off the land they stood on. Revan Cross's new headquarters which was in the world called Freit, one night it was attacked by The Evil Black Skull Six, and once everyone at this headquarters was killed. Black Skull Six went to all other headquarters to destroyed Raven Cross for good. Jim's ancestors were part of Raven Cross, Jim always heard of stories when he was young of Ravan Cross. And since that day he always wanted to remake it, and now he has. Jim, Hic, Emily, and Cannon had magic journals that whatever they wrote in the journals would happen in real life. They decided to create a dimension called the Gannaverse, in this dimension, they would make a headquarters so they could make practice making portals.

 

One day Jim decided to go out on a walk in the countryside of terrain Helid, which was abandoned, after many years of war and sickness. Jim always loved to journey out and find things that he did not know were real, but he always left without telling any of his companions. As he walked he saw many abandoned village house that was left once the war of the great war started. Jim did not know much about the war, in fact, no one did, the only thing Jim knew was that the many war stopped because the people found something evil when they were in a cave in the mountains and that something almost killed everyone until the something went back inside the cave and never came back, after that they decided to stop fighting because they thought that the sounds of war would make it come back out of the cave. Jim wanted to know what that something was so he was going to find the same cave. 

Later he found the cave it had strange blue markings on it, the markings were an old language that the people in the time of the great war used. The markings read "Those who come in this cave shall one day doom all of the humanity in our world and others. But Jim did not understand the language so he kept walking

As he walked through the cave he started to feel tired and thirsty, so he decided to take a nap, but that nap turned into sleeping until the next day. The next morning he woke up and started walking again. As he walked he saw bones of people, "These must be the people who have come in here looking for whatever killed the army that came in here," Jim thought and he was right. Many people have gone into the cave but never came out. 

About an hour later Jim found a pool of black liquid, Jim wondered if he could drink it but he was so thirsty he did not care he scooped up some of it and drank. It tasted like mud almost, but he was so thirsty he didn't think of what the flavor was. He lost his balance and fell in, he tried to get out but it was almost like some kind of force was keeping him from moving. He struggled as he started to run out of breath and soon whatever force was keeping him from getting out went away and he was able to get out of the pool. He climbed out coughing and gasping for air. Once he got his breath he realized he was not in the same part of the cave that he was in before. He walked around and found an exit, it was a hole that someone dug. He crawled through the hole and then he found himself in some kind of field, and in the field were three children in white robes. They seem to be playing some kind of game until they saw Jim then they froze and stared at him. It was two girls and one boy. One of the girls looked about eight years old the boy looked ten and, the other girl looked to be fifteen she must have been the oldest. "Hello, do you mind telling me where I am?" Jim asked They did not answer they just stared at him, they acted like they had never seen a human before, even though they were human as well. "If you are afraid of me don't be," Jim said, he took off his belt that had a pistol and holster on it and he took out a knife from his pocket and put it on the ground, he also sat on the ground to show them that he was no threat. Then the fifteen-year-old walked up and asked, "Where did you come from?". "I came from that cave right there," Jim said he started to point but he saw that the cave was gone!. "Where did it go! it was right here," Jim exclaimed, "Where ever you came from you must get out of here before you get caught," the fifteen-year-old said. Then all of a sudden they all heard a yell that was coming from far off. "What the heck was that?" Jim asked, "That was our master he is calling for us," the thirteen-year-old replied. 'Who are you people and what world am I in?" Jim asked. "My name is Lee and this is my sister Carol and my brother Alen. This world is called Traidex, we are being held captive here by our master Alex," Lee said. "If this Alex person is keeping you here then why are you calling him your master?" Jim asked. "We are his slaves he makes us do work for him and he only lets us go out only once a month," Lee said. "Now that I have answered your questions I want to know who you are and how you got here," Lee said. "My name is Jim Redd and I came here from a cave in a world Ujnon, but the cave seems to have disappeared," Jim said. "Lee! we need to get back before Alex comes looking for us," Alen said, "Right," Lee said then they started to walk away. "Wait! maybe I can help you three escape from Alex," Jim said, "How?" Lee asked. Jim pulled out a black journal, "This journal is magic and whatever I write in it happens in real life!. So I can write some way for us to find a way to get out of this place, but I don't have any ink," Jim said. "Maybe you could come back with us then you could get some ink at Alex's home," Carol suggested. "That's a great idea but he might get caught," Alen said. "Then why don't I just act like I want to one of his slaves then I can somehow find a way to get the ink," Jim said. "I don't know the last time Alex had an adult slave he almost broke their mind," Lee said. "Broke their mind?" Jim asked, "Alex is not a normal person, in fact, he is not mortal," Lee said. "No matter I am still going to become his slave for only a short time," Jim said. "Fine let's go," Lee said.

A few moments later Jim tied his hands together to make it look like the kids tied him up. "Master! we found someone," Lee said as they walked up to an old spooky looking house and standing in front of it was a man that had a silver mask on. He walked over to Jim and inspected him. "Hmmm, I see you are an advanced minded one," Alex said. "Where did you come from?" Alex asked, "I come from a place called...Gret," Jim said, but he lied, he did not want to give Alex all of his information. "Take him inside," Alex said, Lee led Jim into the house.

As they walked through the doorway, Jim could hear strange sounds that sounded like yelling and growling. Lee led him to a staircase that took them down stairs. When they got downstairs Jim saw cages that were rusty and looked like they were falling apart. "This is where we live," Lee said as she picked up a metal ring that had a Pentagon on it. She put the ring over a small flame until the ring turned red, then she put the ring on Jim's forehead. "AAUGH! why did you do that?" Jim asked in pain. Lee parted her black hair that was covering her forehead. Then Jim could see that she had a Pentagon on it. "Now that you are Alex's slave you must have this mark as I do," Lee said. Jim looked into a mirror, and he could see that there was a Pentagon on his forehead. Lee took Jim back upstairs and they walked to the back of the house. In the back of the house was a big pile of rocks, Lee handed Jim a sledgehammer and said, "Start smashing". "Why do I need to smash rocks?" Jim asked, "Alex has not told us what he wants with them yet but we must do what he says," Lee replied. An hour went but it felt like a year to Jim, he started to rethink about what he got himself into. As Jim smashed the last rock, he saw Lee come around the corner. "The master wants to see you," Lee said.

She took him into a room that had sepulchers and paintings, and Jim saw Alex standing in the middle of the room. "Ah, I'm glad to see that you survived the heat of the outdoors," Alex said. "I never caught your name," Alex said, "My name is Jim". "Well Jim, I want you to follow me," Alex said, they walked to a table and two chairs, "Please sit," Alex said. Jim sat down, but the chair was not very soft. "Can you please show me your forehead," Alex asked, Jim took off the hat that he has a warning and showed Alex his forehead. "I see, the Pentagon has been added," Alex said. "Now then, guards!" Alex yelled, then two tall figures in black robes came in. "Take him downstairs with the others," Alex said. Then the two figures took Jim down stairs

When they got down there Jim was put inside a cage that was right next to Lee's cage. "Did you get any ink or something to write with?" Lee asked, "No I did not, but don't worry I will find a way to free you all," Jim said. "Where do you three come from?" Jim asked, "Well I'm not sure if you would believe me if I told you," Lee said. "Go ahead and tell me then I will decide," Jim said. "We are from a place called Atlantis," Lee said. "Atlantis! then how did you get here?" Jim asked. "When Atlantis sunk into the ocean, me, Carol, and Alen went to a place called Rome, and there we found Alex, and he wanted to help us until he took us here and put us to work he also said he had plans for us," Lee said. "And what are those plans?" Jim asked. "He never would tell us all, he said is that he was planning something, and he needed our blood," Lee said. "Why your blood?" Jim asked. "Because Atlanteans have special powers and our blood is very powerful as well," Lee said.

The next morning Jim woke up to the sound someone hitting something on top of his cage. Jim saw that one of the guards was doing it. "Get up it is time to go to work," the guard said. 

He took Jim outside back to all of the rocks. "Do you mind me asking a question?" Jim asked, "Yes I do now get to work," the guard said. Jim started smashing rocks again. A few moments later the guard came back, "Come on we are moving you," the guard said.

They walked to the side of the house where Lee Carol and Alen were working. "I want you to pick up these statues and moved them into that storage shed, now start working," the guard said. Jim and the other three started moving statues from the room that Alex took Jim to. It was hard work trying to lift some of the statues, Jim had to help Carol most of the time because she was only eight years old. But Carol tried to put one up by herself and she dropped it and it fell. When it fell the head of the statue came off and they could see that inside had rubies. Then a guard come out of the house and said, "Who was the one who did this?". "It was me," Carol said, the guard looked at her for a moment then said let's go talk with the master, then they walked inside. "I hope they don't do anything bad to her," Jim thought. 

Later a guard came out and told Jim to follow him. they walked inside the house into a room that had a fireplace and a big chair. Alex was sitting in the chair drinking a cup of tea, the guard left the room and they began to talk. "Where is Carol?" Jim asked, "Now, now let's not get into this conversation yet," Alex said, "I said where is she," Jim said. "Whichever way Haven or Hell is," Alex said. "You killed her!" Jim asked, he started walking towards Alex in anger but Alex somehow made Jim freeze where he was standing. "I only did it because she was a threat to you, me, and every living person," Alex exclaimed. "She was just a kid how could she be a threat?" Jim asked, "Jim, do you know anything about the fall Atlantis?" Alex asked. "Not much all I know is that it sunk into the sea," Jim replied. "The reason it sunk is that the people of Atlantis were becoming corrupt and they wanted to use an energy called Frilled mass, but the energy made Atlantis sink into the Atlantic ocean, and of course, some Atlantians escaped, but once an Atlantian is corrupt, they will never change that is why I killed Carol and soon I plan to do the same to the other two," Alex said Jim's mind was racing at a very fast speed there were so many thoughts in his head. "I know why you are here, you came here to find ink so you can make some kind of portal so you and the children can leave, and believe me you are not the first person to come here and tried to help them, in fact, you are the fifth person, I can give you the ink and you can leave but I will not allow them to leave," Alex said. Jim thought it all over in his head, what could he do, then he saw a knife on a table. He realized that he was not frozen anymore. He acted quickly and grabbed the knife and was about to stab Alex, but Alex froze him again. "I would like you to meet the spirit who will be in control of you until so we can finish what need to be done," Alex said.Alex took a glowing black and purple orb that was sitting inside a jar and he took it and threw it at Jim, and the orb flew inside Jim's body. Jim was on the floor trying to fight back against the spirit, "I will not.... submit!" Jim said, but the spirit took control of Jim. "Hal, can you hear me?" Alex asked, "Yes, I can hear you, this body is very weak feeling more week than the last one, I'm not sure if I like it," Hal said, "Don't worry once we find Atlantis you will soon get to find a new body," Alex said. "Now you must go back to the year 1918 this body that you have taken over was trying to revive Raven Cross we can not let this happen if we are going to become rulers of all dimensions," Alex said. "What do you want me to do about The Raven Cross members, and how many of them are there?" Hal asked. "There are only three other members it should be easy to kill them," Alex replied handing Hal a pistol. "What are we going to do about this other spirit inside of me? it is trying to break out," Hal said. "I will take care of this," Alex said he put his hand inside of Hal's stomach then pulled out a floating orb, he then put the orb inside of a glass bowl. "Now I hope there are no other problems along with your way," Alex said. "There should be no other problems I must be off," Hal said. "Take this journal," Alex handed Hal the journal. "Why do I need this?" Hal asked. "Whatever you write in this journal, it will happen in real life so it will come useful finding Atlantis," Alex said. "Now go to Traidex in the terrain of Helid there you will find the other members," Alex said, then Hal wrote in the journal for a portal to Traidex, then a portal appeared and he walked through it. "What shall we do with the orb?" a voice said, Alex, turned around and saw a man in a black suit standing there. "Hello Siphercry, it is good to see you," Alex said, "Yes it is good to see you also," Siphercry replied. "I want you to take Jim's spirit orb to the future with you when you leave," Alex said, "What do I do with it once I get there?" Siphercry asked. "Trap it inside something, I don't care what you do just don't put the spirit into a human," Alex replied. "And what about the two children outside what are you going to do with them now that our plan is starting to take effect," Siphercry said. "Don't worry I am planning on taking their their orbs out and putting them somewhere safe," Alex said. "I know! I will give them to you and you can trap all three of them somewhere! I will be right back," Alex said.

He walked outside and saw that Alen but not Lee. "Alen! where is your sister?" Alex asked. "I don't know,z' Alen replied, "You don't know or you will not say," Alex said. He walked up to Alen said, "Now please don't try to do anything stupid," Alex said, then he got out a revolver and shot Alen!. Then Lee jumped out of a tree and stabbed Alex with a knife, then Siphercry shot Lee. Siphercry walked over and bent down beside Alex. "You....continue with the plan..to find Atlantis," Alex said as he was dying. "What shall I do with orbs" Siphercry asked. "Take them with you and  I want you and Hal to meet in a world called Traidex in the terrain of Helid, and don't forget to....." Alex died. Then a man with a blue cape and black clothes came outside. "What happen to Alex?" the man asked, "Hello Sole, Alex was killed by one of the kids but now I am taking her orb and Jim's orb to the future," Siphercry said. "What have you done to them!" a voice said behind them, Siphercry and Sole turned around and saw a boy that looked to be at the age of 15, was standing there. "Hey, where did you come from?" Siphercry asked. "I have been here the whole time, I was locked in a room for a long time," the boy said. "Are you one of these kids?" Siphercry asked, "No, I'm something different," the boy said. Then he grabbed the revolver that Alex had and shot Siphercry in the leg. Siphercry dropped Lee's orb, the boy picked it up and ran. "Go get him!," Siphercry told Sole, Sole ran after the boy, but the boy shot Sole in the chest. Then the boy opened a portal and jumped through. 

 

Hal finally made it to Traidex, he saw a big house with a Raven Cross flag outside, "This is the right place," Hal said. 

He walked inside. "Jim! I'm glad you are back we can not find Emily anywhere and we have to get the Gannaverse by tomorrow or things are not going to work out as we planned," Hic said. "There is a change of plan, I am done with Raven Cross," Hal said then he opened a portal and threw Hic into it. "One down, now where are the others," Hal said to himself. He looked around the house then he found Cannon. "Hello Jim, did you have a nice walk?" Cannon asked, "Yes I did, in fact, it was too nice," Hal said then he opened a portal and threw Cannon inside. "Two down now just one more to go," Hal said. He looked all over the house but he could not find Emily, but then he remembered Hic saying that Emily went missing.

He walked outside and lit the house on fire, then Siphercry came out of a portal. "Hello Hal it is good to see you not in spirit form," Siphercry said. "Where are Alex and Sole?" Hal asked, "Alex was killed by one of the children that he had, and Sole was killed by an unknown boy," Siphercry said. "Where are the kids now?" Hal asked, "The girl and her brother were killed, but the unknown boy took her spirit orb and went into a portal. But I think the boy was from somewhere in the future," Siphercry said. "How do you know?" Hal asked, "He did not have clothes that fitted our time," Siphercry said. "Forget about the boy and the orb we need to keep to the plan," Hal said, "Can we go over it one more time, just so I won't forget," Siphercry said. "Ok here's the plan, I will go to the year 2000 and I will take over the Uueurp Union and make enemy with The Dark Acolytes then they will try to get me killed or accuse me of something then I will find a way to get their ruler killed. That is when you come in, you will come in and take over The Dark Acolytes and you will make enemies with The Navitlor Agency, and while you are doing this I will go to the year 1864 and find the map to Atlantis". "But how will we communicate?" Siphercry asked we will use these magic balls to talk," Hal said. "What did you do with the Raven Cross members?" Siphercry asked. "I sent one of them to a small dimension where they can never get out, and I sent the other one to a ghost Island where they will never be allowed to leave," Hal said. "What about the third one?" Siphercry asked. "I don't know where that one is but I don't think they will be a problem, now we must go and do what must be done," Hal said. "Ok but I have something for you," Siphercry said he handed Hal Jim's orb "I want you to put it somewhere," Siphercry said. Hal put it inside a satchel he found. Then Hal and Siphercry both opened a portal to different places. "Are you sure we should not go after that boy?" Siphercry asked, "No he is not important, I don't think he will be a trouble in the future," Hal said then they walked through the portals to the year 2000.

 

Sometime in the 20th century, the boy that took Lee's orb was just getting back from traveling in time from that moment. He lived in some kind underground bunker. He put Lee's orb on a table and he got out an old robot. He placed the orb inside the robot then he gave it power. "Oooh, where am I?" Lee's voice came from the robot. "Don't worry I'm here to help you, I rescued you from what looked like a bad person," the boy said. "Thank you but how could this be? I was killed and now I''m alive," Lee said. "I put your spirit orb inside this robot that is how you can hear and see me, but if you were out any longer your spirit would have left," the boy said. "Thank you but while you were there did you see a man with a brown hat on?" Lee asked. "No, I did not," the boy said. "Now I need to get back to work or else the others will think I'm lazy". "What is this place we are in?" Lee asked, "This is place is a The Navitlor Agency bunker I'm here to study and train to become a Navitlor Agent," The boy said then he started to walk through a door. "Wait I have one more thing to ask you, what is your name?," Lee asked, "My name is Ezra Smith".

Author's Note

I hope you all liked this story, I made it back in June sometime and I have had it here, and believe me I wanted to post it so bad but of course, I had to wait, and yet again another clue to what is going on in the Turn of Legends storyline, also here is the theme for this story https://youtu.be/tikbMeEvY7k, and so everyone knows, the character Phantom from Turn of Legends gen 4 is an insane version of Hic from this story, the character Cannon from Turn of Legends gen 1 is the same Cannon as this Cannon, and Emily is the same Emily from Avenge the Lost, and of course Siphercry is Siphercry and Hal is Hal, but a good question is will we ever get to see Jim's spirit again?...did you really think I was going to tell you all, of course not.
