There is the moment of great change. When all seriousness explodes, there’s the time when students have to take their stand. It is time for the moment of truth. From a mysterious girl, to an unveiling truth of the past. Memories of the young, thoughts and heartful feelings from one another. Another world exists for the purpose of sensory. As the end of the inconsistent happenings are nearing to an end, another intricate decision rises. A student with a two-sided personality must take part in the powers born from the unknown. The sky is at false blame, the clouds take no part. Was the secret necessary for all truths only to be unveiled in one single time span…?Episode 54 – An Inscription Attack, Truth and Suspicion!
The Forest of Emille is currently at rest. There are no troubles that seem to be going on. Matt and Yessenia calmly entered the room passed the bookcase. Yessenia turned on both cellphones so that they could see down the hall. Matt was going to take out his fire stone but there was no use since he no longer had his flaming baby chick.
In the room after the hall, they could see a bunch of boxes and a few giant stones of some strange sort. Yessenia placed a finger down the stone to see that the dust was completely of different color than the original paint. Matt saw an old radio. He pressed a button and a voice was heard, “Come, Hephaestus! We must no longer linger about this area. I see no use of this place at all.”
“Hades, we have to find out more about the inscriptions of time.”
“Athena is awaiting our presence. Let us hurry back.”
“Let us hope this is not our last visit, then. We shall get on our boat, fast before the tide worsens.”
The voices stop and Matt felt slightly fearful of the voices. Yessenia walked over to the radio and she was amazed at such sound, “It seems as though Hephaestus and Hades were talking. There are many things wrong with this.”
Matt took a look at the radio, “I don’t see anything wrong with it.”
Yessenia explained to him, “No, I am talking about the conversation. One thing is that why are Hephaestus and Hades talking to each other as if they were friends? Not only that, the time of Olympia were ancient times. Since when were they able to get radios to record their voices?”
“I didn’t realize that.”
“They talked about Athena. Who is Athena corresponding to? We should look for some more information.”

“The truth is…” Mariel was slowly telling the secret to Joey and Peter. The suspense was causing only Joey to shake his fists in anxiety. Peter only yawned but he was also curious about what Mariel has to say about the secrets of Matt and his powers. Mariel pointed a finger up, “Matt has chickens and he didn’t want to tell anyone that he was considered a farm boy just because his dad takes care of chickens.”
Joey fell to the ground and he cried. “What kind of secret is that?! You’ve got to be lying to me, Mariel.” He began shaking her shoulders vigorously, “Tell me the truth!”
Mariel slapped his face, “I am telling the truth!” She slapped his cheeks again two more times, “That’s already twelve slaps for you. Don’t you be asking for another stupid question or else you’ll have two times twelve the slaps. Understand?” Joey stopped becoming curious and Mariel walked away in annoyance, “Sheesh, what secret?” She began smiling to herself.
As Mariel was walking away, she thought about the real secret, “Matt and his fire powers huh… I wonder if he’s feeling better ever since I heard about him losing some kind of fire chicken. I can’t believe Shirley, Yessenia, AND Jaime went with him to the Forest of Emille. Why didn’t they ask me to come? Speaking of which, where was Santi and Danny at the time?”
Walking down the road, Mariel finds Danny looking into a trash can. Mariel calls for him and Danny notices that she was nearby. As they got closer, Danny asked her why she was wandering around school. Mariel could ask the same for him when he was searching into the trash can. Danny coughed in guilt about looking for an ID card that he accidentally threw away with his lunch. Mariel rolled her eyes and she asked him to go to the Forest of Emille with her. Danny told her, “I don’t have my cellphone with me… Matt pushed me down and he took my cellphone to leave somewhere.”
Mariel crossed her arms in anger, “Leave somewhere?! Don’t tell me he’s in one of the other worlds again… Anyway, fine. I’d rather not wander around alone. You come with me through my cellphone.”
Danny hesitated, saying, “B-But Mariel-…”
“Here we go!” Mariel ignored Danny’s concerns.

In the basement of the Forest of Emille, Matt and Yessenia continued to go down another hidden hallway. Matt became tired from the semi-long walk, “Yessenia… how much further are we going to go? I’m getting tired.”
Yessenia seemed normal. She told him, “I do not feel tired at all. It must be your health system that is killing you. We are finding out about pure history here, Matt.” In the next room, they could find more inscriptions on most of the walls. She began to read one side of the wall, “Beware that this is only a few steps from the divine punishment of Emille. We must take presiding offenses against the strong will. The world of Emille is not so simple anymore.”
Matt pointed at a wall with a naked man trying to hold onto another man, “Hehe, this picture is funny.”
Yessenia threw wind at Matt, causing him to fall, “That is one of the holy artworks and pictures that you typically see in churches in our world! You should not make fun of them.” Her mind suddenly sparked. “Wait a minute.” She started to smile with a smirk on her face, “I see. We are getting closer to finding out information about the Forest of Emille and its connection with our world. What is a drawing, coming from our world, doing here? This is definite proof that this forest represents something or somewhere in our world.”
Matt said stupidly, “Or we are in a parallel universe.”
Yessenia threw another pack of wind against Matt so that he fell over even after sitting on the ground. “Do not joke around with the meanings of these two worlds!”
Matt coughed for air, “Y-Yes, ma’am.”
Yessenia turned back to the inscription, “But what confuses me most is… what is this wall talking about?”
The inscription suddenly made a small jump. Yessenia blinked and she shook her head in confusion. Before she could even think, the inscription then jumped again, vigorously. Matt fell to the ground from the surprise and he yelled, “Wha- What is that?!”
Yessenia summoned her blunt sword, “Be careful! This inscription turned into a living stone monster.” She turned to where the inscription was and she smiled, “But it opened up a ladder going down.” She told Matt, “Go down first! We both can’t leave this monster here because if we tried going down, it would be fast enough to attack us before we can be cleared away from this room.”
Matt took out his fire stone, “N-No way. I have to help!” Matt thought in his mind, “(I want to prove to myself that I am strong without my flaming chicken.)”
Yessenia faced forward, “Fine, we will do it that way.” She splashed a large amount of wind towards the stone monster but it clapped its hands to counter the air space. Yessenia moved away but Matt was too slow to react. He flew against the wall from his back. He began to cough as he was now on the floor.
Yessenia tried to disregard him. Matt got up slowly and he was ready to fight. Yessenia ordered him to attack with fire to combine such strength with her wind powers. Matt agreed to do so, however this did not go so well. As Yessenia threw a large amount of wind, Matt was not able to use his fire stone. The digicell avoided the wind and it extended its arms quickly to punch Yessenia in the stomach. Her mind zoned out for a second and Matt clenched his fists in fear. “Y-Yessenia!”
Yessenia dropped her blunt sword and she said slowly, “Why didn’t you… use your…”
Matt ran up to her to support her, “I-I don’t know! I tried to but for some reason it’s not working!”
The stone monster jumped in joy and it clenched its other fist to get ready for another attack on Matt this time. It let go another spring of a punch towards Matt. Matt opened his eyes widely from the upcoming punch.

“I’m telling you! I don’t know shit.” Shirley said.
“Oh, are we cussing now?!” Joey yelled out loud.
Shirley stomped her foot in anger, “Argh!! I don’t know anything about your stupid power thingies!”
Peter was hidden behind Joey. He said quietly, “Joey… let’s leave. She’s a bit scary.”
Shirley began to speak in a kind but joking and evil manner, “Ohhh Peterrrr~” She tiptoed behind Joey and she waved, “You’re a good boy, right? Would you mind telling our little friend here to stop bothering me?”
Peter covered his head in case if Shirley slaps him like Mariel did to Joey, “O-O-Okay!”
Joey said loudly, “I’M NOT EVEN LITTLE!”
~~~
Time was running. Stan and Kalpesh were looking for Joey for some Science lab calculations for their Physical Science class. Stan mentioned to Kalpesh that Joey might be somewhere where he would always show up at. Kalpesh suggested basketball practice if anything, but they checked and there was no practice at all. They became stumped again, not knowing where to check. Kalpesh snapped his fingers and pointed at the green trailers nearby the large gym, “Over there! Joey should be in the Journalism class! I’m not sure which classroom though.”
Stan crossed his arms, “I know where. He always comes out through a certain room. Let’s go check.”
In the classroom, Stan and Kalpesh explained to the teacher about their friendship with Joey. Because the teacher was an understanding person, he could easily trust Stan and Kalpesh to barge into Joey’s secret belongings. Besides, Stan and Kalpesh called Joey beforehand to ask if they could borrow the calculations. In doing so, Stan found a photo of something very familiar.
Kalpesh viewed the picture as well. The both of them were really surprised except Kalpesh was more confused. He questioned the picture, “What is this supposed to be? I think I see Matt. It’s only showing his sweater.”
Stan pointed at Matt’s hair, “This must be Matt! Even though we can’t see his face, it’s almost obvious that it’s him. This was the first month of high school too because he changed his hairstyle.”
Kalpesh began rubbing his chin, “Hm, good point. Why would Joey have a picture of Matt in here?” He suddenly gasped, “Huhhhh! Stan, don’t tell me Joey is… Uh…”
Stan said in annoyance, “Oh god, Kalpesh. You swear Joey is like that. Look, Matt is nearby a bunch of flames. To me, I think Joey is trying to figure out how this all came together.” He took the picture and he placed it into his pocket.
Kalpesh grabbed Stan’s arm, “Take that picture back out and put it back. It’s not ours.”
Stan rolled his eyes, “Ah whatever. Let’s just go. Besides, this picture is a little interesting too.”
Kalpesh smiled, “Let’s find Matt and ask him what this is about. It’s that simple.”
Stan whispered, “Sh! You don’t want him to think we’re investigating on him. Let’s just figure this out ourselves, alright?” Kalpesh sighed and had no choice but to agree with Stan.

Matt and Yessenia were both in severe pain. They were lying on the floor, not having the ability to get back up. Matt took out Danny’s cellphone, “I’m already automatically vanishing away from the pain… we might as well leave before it makes another attack…!”
Yessenia agreed and she said her final words before she teleported away, “I hope the inscription digicell does not go all the way out of the shrine. Let’s… go.” She vanished away and Matt looked away in shame.
“Why can’t I use my fire powers…?”
~~~
Mariel and Danny entered the Shrine of Emille in the forest. Mariel knocked on the walls inside, “Is anybody in here?”
“WoooOOO~…”
Mariel punched him on the stomach, “What the heck are you doing?”
Danny frowned from the pain, “I was trying to be a ghost…”
“What the hell?” She shook her head in disappointment from his annoyance while moving on ahead.
As they both went down the basement, they examined all of the areas that Matt and Yessenia had already gone through. Going closer to the bottom, Mariel could hear a few stomping noises. She quickly hugged Danny, “Eugh, what the hell was that?! Do you hear it?!”
Danny hugged her as well but he was squishing her to death, “Scary, scary!!”
Mariel splashed water onto his face, “Okay stop, it was okay the first time. Anyway, we should hide somewhere!” Mariel ran behind a box and Danny looked from left to right, looking for a place to hide. Mariel was surprised to see him still wandering. The inscription digicell arrived to see Danny standing there. Mariel shrieked and ran towards Danny to vanish with him, “Okay let’s get out of here before that thing attacks us!”
~~~
Jen sat down under the canopy near the cafeteria, alone. She checked her watch, “Matt is still missing…”
Mariel and Danny appeared behind the bushes next to the English building but Jen could see. Mariel yawned, “Ah, phew!”
Jen stood up, “Huh?” Mariel and Danny jumped from surprise. Jen opened her eyes wide, “What just… happened there?” ~~~
