Hey y'all. Hurray for chapter 14! Much love to everybody who keeps readin this thing ^_^
This chapter shows Clockwork regaining his title as Guardian of Reality (and his true name is revealed). Sorry it’s not longer but oh well.
Also this is the hidden song in the 'Hit the Floor' chapter. Sylphine says two lines of it in her phone call to Vlad ("No, you're simply a greedy little bastard who will get what he deserves when all is said and done”) with a few minor changes to make it flow like conversational dialogue. Here is Breaking Benjamin's 'Had Enough’.
Disclaimer: Yes I forgot it last chapter. It’s missing from several chapters. Bite me.
Chapter 14
Had Enough
Hold me down (I will live again)
Pull me up (I will break it in)
Hold me down (let me in)
Hold me down!
You had to have it all
Well have you had enough?
You greedy little bastard
You will get what you deserve
The clock tower in the Ghost Zone was crawling with Observants; some were trying to find out why the parade of time for both worlds had become too hazy to view others had be trying to locate their puppet. Clockwork had just vanished when he caught the Cube of All. Pandora’s Box. Whatever. Bottom line? They were all fucked and they knew it.
To be fair, the Observants weren’t always such pricks. Their purpose had never changed; to record and observe. Their feelings about their lot in eternity did. All because of two sets of Christmas colored eyes. Those children were mistakes as far as they could tell. They shouldn’t have been allowed to play with the universe like a never-ending board game.
*Flashback*
“Nikkou look!” Oidhche smiled at a purple planet and it’s triple moons in the observation mirror. With a flick of his wrist, the clouds were blown into space revealing a surface of plants and oceans. Now exposed, the surface began to ice over. Various flora and fauna drifted into space.
“Ooo.” His twin awed. “Let me try.” Using a tan finger, the young Chaos Mage of Light touched the surface just over one of the moons. He traced a wide circle around the planet and the two watched the moon follow. The trajectory was such that as soon as the moon completed three full rotations, it was flung into the far reaches of space.
Watching this and boiling with anger was Gözlemek* part of the pair of chief Observants. Kayıt**, his partner, merely shook his hood. It was their job to oversee all of their kin. Unfortunately these two counted as well.
Before their coup, the Observants were pretty much blue shrouded anthropomorphic energy with disembodied voices. They had no use for appendages really as they themselves were recording devices. Once they reached capacity, a crystal bearing all they had observed would be created and loaded into what basically amounted to a universal supercomputer. Nikkou and Oidhche spent much of their time either reviewing these archives; of which Gozlemek and Kayit approved and indeed encouraged. The rest of their time was devoted to ‘exploration’; which the Obervants abhorred.
Even though they were millions of years old the Chaos Mages were in essence only children. Most of their explorations involved a lot of ‘let’s see what happens when...’ and ‘if we take it apart we can see how it works’. This is what irked the floating robes. They had no regard for order, life or principle.
Like the planet they had just stripped of an atmosphere and a satellite. It had life on it. Had being the operative word. The moon currently hurdling into deep space was probably going to hit another celestial body and do major damage. Most infuriating of all Master Ebedi*** only smiled at the destruction they caused. He would watch them do these terrible things as they sat on the floor of his throne room!
It could be argued that their Master would correct some of the damage they did. True, however it never seemed to be enough for his precious Mages. They grew to enjoy the havoc they created, like mortal children these days enjoyed setting ants a blaze with magnifying glasses. Also, the reversals were hindering his own recovery from giving life to those monsters.
Thus we have the schism in the way of thinking. Master Ebedi had created the Observants to preserve the order of the universe through observation alone. They made his own job easier by recording all so that he could focus on maintenance. Chaos Mages are just what their name implies-- harbingers of chaos. Chaos and Order are illusions is taken separately; they must exist together. Without chaos the universe would remain constant and never change. The Observants did not understand this. They only saw the destruction they wrought. It had to end.

“Wel’ome back ta tha land o’ tha livin’.” Chainey smirked at the groggy teens.
“WHAT THE FU--!” Sam shouted only to have her voice abandon her halfway through the curse word.
“Now, now. M’lady’s sleepin’ lassie.” He waved her glare off pointing to what could only be described as a floating cocoon made of translucent golden threads. Inside, a small silhouette could be seen. “Ye did yer part. Now tha res’ be up ta r’ght ‘uns in charge.”
“Um... what is that? And what do you mean the right ones, what happened to Danny?” Valerie frowned. This guy had jerked her through strange black holes in space and nearly suffocated her with his massive hand over her mouth and nose. She still didn’t trust this freak. Or his floaty glowy...thing.
“Tha be M’lady. She’s tired an’ fin’lly able ta rest. As fer Danny-boy? Well he be ‘un of tha r’ght ‘uns. Jus sit back an’ re’ax. T’won’t make no nevamind in a bit. Not ta tha two of us.” The Irishman laughed at their confused faces. He laughed even harder when the trio vanished in a shower of butterflies.
*I am a linebreak! Beware!**I am a linebreak! Beware!**I am a linebreak! Beware!*
"I must say I am rather dissappointed in you, all of you. But mostly you two Gozlemek, Kayit."
Clockwork had appeared silently behind the two who spent most of their time lording over him. To their horror, he was no longer in his ghostly form, shifting from child to man to elder. No, he stood in white robes laced with gold and black designs resembling stars and moons. For the first time in many years, they could see his short cut black hair streaked with silver. His skin was almost white and his eyes were black flicked with white like the night sky. His time staff was now topped with the nearly complete Cube of All. No longer a ghost in servitude but the god he had always been, he did not look happy. Seriously, would you be?
“M-master Ebedi...” Kayit gulped. Well, he made the sound which was still odd as he had no mouth. Frozen in fear his body would not obey his brain’s frantic cries to ‘Move your ass!’.
“Oh save it. You took advantage of my weakness and turned this world on it’s head.” He snapped. “My children have been twisted into monsters; made to suffer with powers they could not understand driving them insane. Did you really think that killing their bodies would destroy them? That trapping me as your lap dog would be permanent?”
The two of them wisely stayed silent before dropped to their knees blubbering about doing what was best for the fabric of timespace, how they believed the Mages were an evil in the making and oh yeah, PLEADING FOR THEIR EXISTANCE. Their brothers and sisters several feet away were cowering in fear and followed suit. Ebedi rolled his eyes at the sea of quaking and groveling. A tick mark appeared on his forehead.
“Silence you imbiciles!” He roared pinching the bridge of his nose. Instant quiet. “Now I don’t really give a damn what the lot of you have to say for yourselves. A child of one of my sisters has been shouldering the weight of this reality on her own while her twin did the same in her home reality. You screwed up big and you can’t fix it. I’m not even sure how much damage control I can do in this state. But I do know one thing. For what you’ve done you will pay dearly. But I will not decide it. No that will be up to your worst nightmares. I’m sure you remember how fond the twins were of...experimenting with things.”
The chuckle that followed chilled them to their cores. It continues long after he faded away.
*I am a linebreak! Beware!**I am a linebreak! Beware!**I am a linebreak! Beware!*
Vlad blinked dumbly at the boy that had been about to decapitate him seconds before. The child was passed out and snoring loudly amidst the rubble as if he were in his own bed. Though grateful to whatever caused it, he was unsure of what to do next. He had greatly underestimated Daniel. All his planning had proved futile. The cube was not of any use if that little bitch knew about it. Besides it was incomplete.
He looked up when he noticed something twinkling against the smoke filled sky. A clear object the size of a pencil suspended in the air above the young halfa. More confused blinking before his vision went white and pain exploded in his neck. Something hot trying to press it’s way out of the base of his skull and to hell with the bone and tissue in the way. He could feel the blood pouring down his back and staining his grey hair.
He reached behind him clawing at the hard object forcing itself out out of him but the slick blood and his own fatigue made it too hard to grip properly and pull out. As things began to blur, he vaguely recalled how this had happened to him before at some point in the past. Only in reverse and much faster. The last thing he saw was the helm of a stangely familiar robe.
“My poor children. Do not worry. All will be as it should.” Ebedi struck the ground with the butt of his staff and the three of them were gone. The street and surrounding buildings were restored.
All over town, people found themselves wondering why they were hiding. Why they had baricaded themselves in a room. Why they were in hospital gowns and standing around people struggling to get up. Why they were milling about the school gym, cafeteria and auditorium when classes were suppose to be in session. Hell, why were they even in a school when there were important research projects to attend to.
Only four souls knew anything but were far from sure of just what they knew. In addition to the uber weird dreamworld, they were wondering when they got spirals tattooed on their left palms.
And how the hell they got to the Fenton Works Lab. Standing in front of the Ghost Portal no less.

Google translate rocks. Sorry to any Turks I may offend if the translations aren’t correct.
Sorry for the wait, I have to do real work on the job now :-( but I promised to have this up by today.
This is not the end! I promised to explain everything and I will in the next few chapters.
So far we know Sylphine is a Chaos Mage from another world who has been holding the DP universe together at great harm to herself (no real balance only her doing the job of two beings alone) while torturing the Observants and secretly trying to teach her damaged counterparts to control their powers. Danny/Nikkou and Vlad/Oidhche are really the Chaos Mages of this world and Clockwork/Ebedi is their father. The Cube pieces have all been found because Valerie and Team Phantom helped Danny conquer his inner darkness and purified the piece that was tainted by being rammed into his throat several millenia ago. Now those four are the only ones who remember the last 6 hours. Yes, this entire story took place in one day so far minus flashbacks and introspective thoughts. What’s left is to explain a few plot holes and show just what happens next.
Stay tuned. Sirensoundwave out!
