Dodge floated in the middle of the storm, meditating. He remembered everything that had happened in the tower. He wondered what reason Behemoth would have to go to his old boss, Neo. He hoped it was to kill him and not convince neo to join him. He thought about the fight he had with Behemoth. Even with the strength he had he wasn't able to defeat Behemoth. He needed help. Then a thought came to his head.

"What other reason would that tower be on fire if Neo didn't fall for Behemoths lies?" He thought out loud. With reluctance he decided he would fly to Neo's other home in the mountains to convince him to help. He put that thought away for now and took in the peace and quiet.

He meditated and listened to the rumbling thunder. During the fight, he had managed to damage Behemoth by concentrating a lightning strike to hit him. The amount of power he gained from the lightning was enough to rejuvenate him and fight back. His hits had managed to hurt Behemoth more than before. He realized that he could gain energy from lightning and flew up to where he is now. If he was going to fight Behemoth he needed to be stronger.

Every lightning bolt near him had charged dodge's energy. He could feel his senses start to increase and his vision was getting better. He looked down at the city and could clearly make out details he never could see before. He breathed and concentrated, the world going quiet around him. He cleared his mind and closed his eyes. He thought about how to pursue Behemoth and how he would find him. He needed ideas and what better way than to experiment with his powers. He wondered what would happen if he went to his energy form in the clouds and decided to try it. He flexed his muscles and concentrated. He felt his body shift out of a physical form and became energy. He expanded and engulfed the entire cloud. He felt every rumble even more and became more powerful than before.

After a few minutes of powering up, he changed back to his physical form and thought of ideas. He looked at his hand and put it in a fist. He stared at his hand and concentrated. Static electricity started to vibrate his fist. His fist became more unstable and vibrated. He punched the air and the fist released a blue energy that exploded. He flew backwards from the force and quickly recovered from the blast, hovering back to his practice area. He wasn't expecting that to happen. He released his fist and looked at his hand. He smiled and formed another idea. He put his hands up in the air and turned them into fists again and concentrated. The same effect happened on both his hands and instead of punching, he released the energy in his hands. Then a blast of lightning came out of the palm of his hands and shot high above the air.

He was so amazed by what he did that he didn't notice the Boeing 747 flying through the clouds. He stopped what he was doing and turned around, frightened by the noise. He immediately hit the front window and could see the pilots looking up at him, mouths agape. He looked back at them and waved. The pilots were too shocked to react and continued flying. Dodge fell off the window and was thrown aside, nearly missing the engine. He landed on the wing and sat up, patting his shoulders. He looked through the planes windows and saw a kid looking at him through the window. The kids father on the seat next to him and the other passengers were doing other things and didn't notice dodge on the wing. The kid looked at him in amazement, awe struck by the blue man on the wing. Dodge waved at the kid, not knowing what else to do. The kid smiled and waved back in excitement.

He turned his head and faced his dad. Dodge took the moment to get off the wing and flew away from the plane. The kid tugged on his fathers shoulder, getting his attention. The boy told him everything that he saw in excitement. The father didn't believe and assumed it was his kids imagination. He got his dad to look out the window and they both saw nothing. The kids smile faltered and he wondered where the blue guy went.

"I don't see anybody on the wing. You must have been seeing things, Wilson. Here, you can watch a movie on my tablet. " He said, loaning his tablet. The boy looked out the window again and saw a flash of blue inside a cloud in the distance. The boy smiled and whispered goodbye, never forgetting that moment ever.

Dodge zoomed past cloud after cloud, getting a bit more power as the lightning continued around him. Now that that happened, Dodge broke the sound barrier and quickly flew out of the city and saw the everfree forest ahead. He pasted by a small camp by a lake and continued flying to the mountains.

Down at the camp, morning was outside the cabin, drinking coffee. He heard a noise speed by and looked up. Morning saw the flash of blue zoom by the camp and followed the light with his eyes to the mountains. He spilt the coffee mug onto the grass and quickly headed inside the cabin. He needed to make a call.


Norman and Bonbon were driving in a van with the girls sitting in the back. They didn't have any destination in mind yet and were just driving to the Gold tower. They drove in silence, until Bonbon got a phone call.

"Who is it?" Norman asked. She ignored him and pulled her phone out and answered it. He could hear jibbering on the line and listened in. He couldn't hear anything by how fast the voice was speaking. He could tell the man was spooked about something on the other line. Bonbon nodded and answered him. She hung up and put her phone back in her pocket.

"That was Morning Glory from the camp in Everfree. He said he saw a blue light zoom by the camp and head towards the mountains. Might be, Dodge." She speculated.

"What is Dodge doing all the way out there? Norman wondered.

"Do you want us to go?"

"And risk those kids lives?" He said, raising an eyebrow. Bonbon nodded in agreement and relaxed on the seat.

"Probably not a good idea."


Dodge reached the mountains and floated in the air. He scouted the area and looked for Neo's house. He remembered being there once when he was first accepted in. He remembered seeing mountains through a window and assumed they were there. If Neo was anywhere it would be here. This was his house. He spotted a clearing and saw the three story house, surrounded by a ton of guards with big guns.

Dodge flew towards the house as stealthily as possible. Unfortunately, stumbled his landing and fell into a tree. In his attempt to catch himself, he flailed his arms and struck the tree with lightning. He hit every branch on the way down and landed on the grass with a thud. He groaned and sat up, holding his head. Then he heard a snap and a large branch falled off the tree and landed on top of him. He groaned in even more pain and pulled the log off of him. He was then covered by all the leaves on the tree. Two guards heard the noise and jogged to the area. They stopped infront of some bushes and saw the broken scorched tree.

"It was just lightning. Let's head back." The guard said, turning around. The other guy agreed and turned back. Then they heard a limb snap and turned back, holding their guns out.

"That was not the tree!" He quietly exclaimed. They slowly approached the bush with guns raised.

"Who's there!" He shouted.

"Show yourself!" The other guard shouted.

They raised their guns at the rustling bushes and waited. The rustling stopped and Dodge walked out with his hands up. They recognized him and put their weapons down. The guard clicked his mic on his ear and talked. The other guard walked over and patted him down. He felt nothing suspicious in Dodge’s pockets and gave the guard a thumbs up.

"We found, Dodge! He's got nothing." He reported. Dodge could hear the chatter on the other line, but couldn't make out what it was saying.

"The boss wants to see you." The guard told him. Dodge nodded and walked over, keeping his arms raised.

"Let's not keep him waiting." He said, walking inside the house. The guard kept his gun on him and took him to Neo. They walked up the stairs and entered the hallway. He was taken to the last door on the hallway and stopped there. He could hear Neo talking to someone and laughing. He opened the door and saw Neo pouring beer into a glass, not noticing he was there. He saw a phone being held with his face and shoulder.

"And he thought I was actually gonna help him." He grinned. Drinking the beer with a smile.

"Man, for inventing interstellar travel he was still dumb enough to fall for the oldest trick in the book." Neo grinned, turning around. His smile faltered as he saw Dodge.

"I'll call you back, junior." He said, hanging up immediately. He smiled and held his arms out. Dodge shuddered at the mention of junior. He knew the stories of what happened when you crossed junior on bad terms.

"Dooooodge." He said, going in for the hug. Dodge didn't react quick enough and was hugged by Neo.

"So good to see you. You know I've had a pretty strange day. First you give the money I told you to steal to some random family. Then my men try to kill you without my permission." He said.

"Which I took care of them personally. They're out back, I'm not sure if you saw them." He pointed out.

"Then an actual mother fucking Alien kills my men and tells me his plan to destroy earth. And get this, he tried to get me to help him." He laughed. Dodge sighed in response. It seems he was right about Behemoth asking him.

"I say no, and what does he do?" He grabbed the remote control and turned the tv on. The news was reporting the Gold tower explosion. Any news about him or Behemoth was strangely not shown.

"He blows up my fucking tower! Do you know how much I worked to get that room? A lot of green, Dodge!" He shouted.

"Neo, listen I ne-" Neo didn't let him finish and instead pulled a gun out of his jacket pocket and pointed it at Dodge's face. Dodge held his hands up and backed up. Neo stepped closer and closer.

"I'll be honest with you, Dodge. I liked you ever since the start. Maybe it was how you started or it was your personality, but I thought of you like another son." He said truthfully.

"But betraying my trust and helping him destroy Earth? I did not see that coming."

"I didn't know." He defended himself. Neo didn't believe it and took the gun off safety. Sweat started to fall of Dodge's face.

"Damn right, you didnt know. Give me one reason why I shouldn't stain my carpet?" Neo demanded. When he finished yelling, the news came onto the tv. Neo and Dodge turned their heads towards the Tv and watched the breaking news flash on the screen. The news reporters were narrating the footage of the fight. The words "Mysterious Beings Fight On Gold Tower"

"What the hell?" He grabbed the remote next to him and turned up the tv.

The footage playing was from the helicopter, Dodge saved. Neo looked at the camera footage in confusion. He saw Behemoth and a blue man fight each other in his broken house and fly through the roof and on his helipad. He saw the lightning strike the two on his roof and saw the blue man create an energy field, hitting the helicopter. Causing the footage to go static. He didn't listen to the rest when he heard the sound of electricity and felt his hair fly up. He looked back at Dodge and saw his electrical form floating infront of him.

Neo looked at Dodge in disbelief. He dropped his gun and started backing up.

"You were an alien the whole time?" Neo asked.

"No, I got these powers from Behemoth." Dodge said, looking at his arm. He looked at Neo and hoped he could persuade him to help.

"I need your help, Neo."

"You need my help?" He asked.

"I can't beat him alone, I need people I know that can fight."

"You know he's killed like eighty of my men so far? If my men couldn't kill him what chance do we have?"

"If we work together we can take him, please." Dodge pleaded. He knew it wasn't working and needed to come up with another reason fast.

"You and I both know what he's capable of. If we work together and trap him, we can take him down." Dodge said. Neo held his chin in thought and sat down on a chair.

"Getting revenge would be nice... but surviving sounds better. I think I'll just sit this one out. You're way over your league, Dodge."

"You'd let him destroy our planet!" Dodge shouted, slamming his fist on the couch. His electricity circulated through the couch and caused it to explode.

"There are enough nukes to destroy the planet a hundred times over. One alien is stronger than every country combined? That's bullshit." Neo stated.

"The military will kill him before he even knows he's dead." He said, matter of factly.

"You’re a coward." He growled, clenching his fists.

"Fine, if you won't help I'll get it somewhere else." He said, walking towards the Tv. Neo watched Dodge and shouted.

"Dodge, trust me. Wait for the military. They'll take care of him." He said. Dodge shoots his head in anger and reached for the plug. His hand twisted forward into energy and travelled into the plug. Neo watched it happen and was amazed.

"Man, I'd love to have that." He stated. He got back up and put everything back where it was and sat down on his broken couch. It was no more than twenty minutes when he heard a sound behind him. Neo sighed and spranged up to face Dodge.

"I thought I-" Neo was interrupted by a large hand grabbing his throat and lifting him in the air. He held his hand and tried to pull it off. He looked at Behemoth and saw he was in his human form. Neo's face turned pale as he felt the life choke out of him. He was near unconsciousness when he was dropped on the floor by Behemoth. He held his neck and breathed rapidly. He coughed on the floor, trying to regain his voice.

He put his hand in his pocket and pressed a button inside. He secretly alerted the whole building and struggled to stand up.

"Choking out a helpless old man? You truly are evil." Neo glared at Behemoth.

"I know Dodge asked you for help."

"Then you should be happy I didn't agree to him. I ain't messing with you so you might as well go on now." Neo rushed. He tried walking out the door, but Behemoth held it closed in his magic and pulled Neo back.

"Actually, I was expecting it." He said. Neo’s men quickly barged into the room and surrounded Behemoth with AK’s and Uzi’s.

"I think a change of leadership is in order." He said, making sure the whole gang heard him. Neo laughed and shook his head.

"My men are loyal to me. There is nothing you can do to change that!" He shouted, pointing at himself. Behemoth smiled and pissed Neo off.

"Join me and I'll make you an offer you can't refuse."

"And what's that?" One of them asked. Neo glared at the man in annoyance.

"I can give you all what you want and more." He said, charging his magic. He clenched his fist and lit it up in a yellow mist. He smiled as he felt his creation in his hand.

"After all, who doesn't want to be rich." He said, unclenching his hand. They pulled their weapons down and stared in awe at the shiny gold brick infront of them.

"This is nothing compared to the power I can give you. Stick with me and you'll never have to worry about anything ever again." Behemoth offered. Neo growled in anger and ordered his men to shoot.

"Kill him!" He yelled, pointing at Behemoth. They didn't shoot and instead turned to face him. They put their guns up and pointed at Neo. Neo started to sweat. He backed into the door and tried to open it. He looked at his traitors in anger.

"You sons of bitches! After everything we've been through you betray me for some Alien!" He roared. In the group he saw his right hand man, Scorch point his gun at him.

“Scorch, help me! I know you can shoot these fuckers in an instant!” Neo exclaimed. Scorch grinned and approached Neo’s face.

“I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time.” He whispered.

"Grab him." Behemoth ordered. The group did as he said and grabbed Neo. Neo tried to pull them off and reached for his gun. But was hit in the back, causing him to drop his gun. They grabbed his arms and restrained him. They pulled Neo to behemoth and asked him what to do next.

"You won't get away with this! When junior and the rest of my gang get here. You'll wish you never challenged me!" He shouted. Behemoth smiled and laughed. He walked over to Neo and grab his head.

"Hahaha! Still think you have a chance. I’ve already won." He said, channeling his magic. The yellow mist travelled into Behemoth hand and into Neo's mind as every encounter with him and junior flashed through the universe. He saw himself and junior die in gruesome ways. He screamed from the sheer amount of pain and fainted. Behemoth let go of Neo and smiled. He turned around and laughed.

"Weak. Lock him up, I'll deal with him later. Pack up, we're moving."

"Where are we going?" One of them asked.

"I'm gonna do what I should've done in the first place. Prepare your forces, we're going to send a message to Canterlot."

Behemoth and his army of criminals drove their vehicles through the highway. They were drinking and shooting cars on the other lane and laughing the whole way. They rammed through cars infront of them and laughed. A cop car lit their sirens and pursued the truck. Behemoth saw the cop car on the side mirror and laughed. The driver glanced at Behemoth and wondered what he was planning.

"Watch this." Behemoth said, putting his hand out the window. He channeled his magic and summoned a shield infront of them and drove by it. The man looked back in the mirror and saw the car crash into the shield. The front of the vehicle was completely caved in. The sirens died off and the car came to a stop. The man saw that and looked at Behemoth in awe. Behemoth gave him a smug smile and continued driving. The man laughed for two minutes as they entered the city of Canterlot.


Author's Note

Someone told me the story was a T instead of an M so it's rated T now. Thanks for reading, I have 2 chapters left until the stories finally done and I can move on with my life. in the part with Dodge and the plane that boy looking at him through the window is actually the same kid from Norman’s nightmares. I wanted to make a callback.


Slightly re-edited.
