INSURGENCY 3: Dimensions Will Break Through Part 1

Chapter 15: The Date

At the hideout, Freddie, Draco, Verona, and Parker were at an area where computers were on a high platform and a machine that has Terrasaur horns attached. "Open the portal," said Draco while Verona was holding on to his arm. The machine opened a portal and Freddie tried to pulled out a creature with her gauntlet. She then got something, pulled back and a hideous creature came out. It had a blueish white skin. The head has black spikes, bulges for eyes, a yellow mouth with sharp fangs, and black stitching on its forehead. The ribs were protruding and magenta stubs on its back stitched to green beige broken spikes. The forearms and lower legs are magenta that came to a point. The upper legs and waist were gray beige and the tail was small and magenta. "As you requested, my lord, a Writhing Bone Ghoul," said Freddie. "Thank you Freddie," said Draco. Soon, the Bone Ghoul started to attack Freddie. She backed up but fell. As Bone Ghoul was about to strike, Parker used his gauntlet to control it. "You disappoint me, Freddie. You couldn't control the creature," said Draco as he walked down with Verona. "Yeah, you couldn't even win a fight with those pathetic Duel Masters," said Verona. "Shut the fuck up Verona," said Freddie. "Now, time to evolve it," said Draco. He pulled out a needle containing a serum, and he injected the Bone Ghoul. It soon evolved: the tail became scorpion-like with the tip ended in a dark purple guard with two horizontal blades, the back has spikes protruding from it, and the broken spikes on the back became longer and ended in a hook-like fashion. "It's now called Impalicus," said Draco. "Why don't you taking it for a test drive, Parker." "Will do," responded Parker.

At Henry's house, Henry was getting ready for his date with Drake. He wore an open, button down, blue shirt with a white T-shirt underneath, jeans with marine designs painted on, and blue shoes. He put on a gold seashell necklace that his mother gave to him before she passed away. Then, he heard a knock on his door. He opened it and saw his dad with no shirt on. "Your friend is here," he said, with anger laced in it. "O-OK," responded Henry. Just when he was about to head out, he was pinned against a wall. "Just remember who you belong to," said his dad. He then started to roughly kiss him while he grind into him. When he was released, Henry walked out the door with a tear streaking down.

Henry was walking alongside with Drake. Drake tried to hold Henry's hand but he kept pulling back. "Hey, what's wrong?" asked Drake, worried. "I-It's my dad. He rapes and molests me. I'm worried that you're gonna do the same thing," said Henry. "I will never do that you. I love you; I will protect you," said Drake as he stroked Henry's cheek, but he backed away. "So, where are we going?" asked Henry. "We're going to Corpus Christi," replied Drake. "If we're walking, then it's gonna take a long time to get there," said Henry. "We're not walking," said Drake as they approached a motorcycle. He gave Henry a helmet, and they got on. "You better hang on," he said. Henry wrapped his arms around Drake's waist, and soon they rode off.

As they arrived, they pulled up to Whitecap Beach. "Why are we here?" asked Henry. "We're here because I know you love the ocean," said Drake as he placed the helmets on his motorcycle. "Go on, have fun." Henry smiled at Drake before he ran to the shore. He felt the water run by his feet; it felt great and serene. Drake sat on the ground, watching at Henry having fun. Henry found a conch shell and took to Drake. "Look what I found," he said. "Wow. It's beautiful... like you," said Drake, noticing the other blush. Henry smiled shyly and tried to look away. "No, don't do that," said Drake as he used is index finger to make Henry look at him. He leaned in to kiss him, but the other moved back. Drake got it and didn't want to pressure him. "Wonderful! Such beauty, such fluid motion! Nature is truly a work of art," said a male in the distance. He had a somewhat of a high voice, but it was masculine. Drake and Henry looked at him. He was a slightly tall and had fair skin. "Hey! You're right. It is beautiful!" shouted Drake. The person turned and saw. "You must be here for the scenery, right?" asked the male, walking up to the two. He had light burgundy, shoulder-length, wavy hair, his eyes were green and had a feminine look to them, face paint: orange paint on both cheeks that form an upside down 'V', blue lipstick, blue eyeshadow that goes down the eye near the bridge of his nose, and a black masquerade mask that only covers his right eye and leads to the point of his nose. His outfit consists a purple v-neck, a bluish-green jacket with yellow highlights that has a gold band on each upper arm, and eleven tails that goes down to his ankles that represent peacock feathers, white fingerless gloves, a white belt with a gold buckle, black pants with a gold band on the upper thighs, and black cargo boots. "Yep, we're on a date," said Drake. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know," the male said. "I better leave." "It's great meeting you," said Drake. "What's your name?" "I'm Jack," the male responded before he left. "Wow, two Jacks, huh?" said Drake. "Yep," replied Henry, shyly. He noticed he was too close to Drake with an arm wrapped around him. He then moved away. It was 6:00, and the two were about to leave. They were chatting when they heard a noise coming from behind a car only a few steps away. Henry walked to the sound, curious of what could it be. He was startled by a creature came out. It was Impalicus. Henry ran back to Drake, who wrapped his arms around him. "Well, well, well. You what I found," said Parker, coming out of the shadows. "Parker, what are you doing here?" asked Drake. "I here to find test dummies for my new pet," Parker said. Drake pulled out his gauntlet and summoned his creature. "Now, we wouldn't want to fight in this beautiful place, do we?" asked a male. Drake and Henry knew the voice, then Jack came out. He was acting menacing and the pupils and irises were like wide slits. "Jack, y-you're with him?" asked Henry, cowering in fear. "Yes dear Henry, I met one of Draco's agents in my homelands: New York. He saw that I can create wonderful pieces of art and told me I could do more. Dueling is art. A battle should be very, very beautiful. Now let's see if you could handle me and my creature. Tygrif!" said Jack. A tiger/griffon creature came out. The head was brownish orange on the lower part and a orange-yellow upper face with four green eyes, a normal eye in the center, and two white horns that point backwards. The neck is covered by an orange mane. The body is brownish orange with black stripes, tiger paws, two spikes on the shoulders that point upwards, upper section light green and lower section green wings, a dark green and dark brown cannon on its back, dull green waist and upper legs and dull brown lower bird legs, and a brownish orange tail with three feathers on the end with dark green tips. "I will create a beautiful piece of art on the canvas known as our battle ground," said Jack. "Ugh, this is who I was team up with: Clown boy?" asked Parker, getting annoyed. "Anyways, Impalicus, impale them!" Impalicus lunged at Tatsurion. "Tatsurion, chain it," said Drake. He pulled out his chain and whipped it at Impalicus. The creature dodged and started attacking Tatsurion. "Tygrif the Ripper!" shouted Jack. His creature flew up and forcefully flapped its wings, creating strong gusts of wind at Tatsurion. He started to being pushed back. Henry was holding on to Drake for dear life. "Yes! This is true art. I can feel new ideas running through me!" shouted Jack as he had his arms in the air. Soon, Tygrif blasted Tatsurion with its cannon, making him vanish. "Now, time to finish what we came for," said Parker. "Run," said Drake. He and Henry ran to the docks to hide. "Find them," Parker said to both creatures. "Their death will complete my new masterpiece," said Jack. Drake and Henry were hiding under the docks, avoiding being spotted. "Come out and play with us," said Parker. Drake and Henry moved to the other side but were stopped by Parker. "There you are," he said. The two tried to run but were cornered by Jack and the creatures. "My masterpiece will come to be," said Jack. Then, Jack nearly faced death when a bullet passed by him, only a few inches near his body. Everyone looked at the direction the bullet came from and saw the other Jack. "Ready for some slapstick?" he asked. "Metaforá!" Drake and Henry teleported away from Parker and Jack, and they ran to their Jack's side. "Here," said Jack, handing Henry a gold tablet. "Thanks," said Henry, quietly. "Sasha, Channeler of Light!" A yellow mechanical woman appeared. She had yellow white eyes, combed back, chin-length, straight hair. Her entire body is mechanical. She has dark yellow arm guards, shoulder armor, and armor that covers her upper chest. "Who summoned me," she asked. She had an echo in her voice. "Princess Sasha," said Drake, bowing. "I-It's me who summoned you," said Henry. "Go fight those creatures," said Jack. "How dare command me like that. I am the princess of the Light Civilization. I don't take orders from anyone," said Sasha. "I'm sorry," apologized Jack. "Wow! This is the best you can do?" asked Parker, laughing. "Such grace and elegance. You would be in my work of art also," said the other Jack. "Tygrif the Ripper!" Just as Tygrif was about to attack, Sasha started to glow bright. "No darkness should ever conquer the light," said Sasha. Then, mechanical angle wings sprouted out of her back. Her energy started to build up, and she released it as a powerful blast. "Run!" shouted Parker. The two ran away as their creatures vanished. As the light faded, the three thanked Sasha for helping them. "If you need my help, there's a way to contact me," she said. Henry pulled out his phone, and Sasha touched it, giving it a feature to summon and talk to her. "I must return to my realm. This is goodbye for now," she said before she vanished.

Back at Henry's house, Drake was saying goodbye to Henry while Jack was in the background. "I-I had fun," said Henry, looking down. "I did too," said Drake as he lifted Henry's head up. "Come on, let me show you how much I love you." "O-OK," said Henry, shyly. Drake leaned in and gently kissed Henry. Henry was hesitant at first but soon kissed back. As Drake pulled back, he saw Henry blushing. "Goodnight, babe," said Drake as he caressed Henry's cheek. After Henry went inside, Drake walked up to Jack. "I'm proud of you," said Jack, lightly punching the other in the arm. "Trust me, if you truly love him, then there's not gonna be any trouble... except for his dad." "Don't worry, if it goes well, then he'll won't be with his dad," said Drake. "And thanks for teleporting us here and rescuing us." "No problem," replied Jack. The two returned home for some rest.
