Secrets at Hoverdrive: Blood of the Shadow Caller

Hoverdrive Mirror Pocket Dimension

A beam of light flashed all over the place and slowly Sheriff, Mr. Harpson and the three friends showed up.

"Where are we?" Smith questioned. "Hoverdrive Academy Backyard" Sheriff answered. "But this IS not the backyard." Smith confusingly answered.

"The altered Wicked-made Dimension that resembles the Hoverdrive Academy Backyard but a little darker. It is like a base that protects us from other Wickeds like the Grine s" Julie answered in a detailed manner.

"So, you two are Wickeds too?" Smith asked both Sheriff Sanders and Mr. Harpson.

"Quite" Sheriff Sanders answer. "I'm not, Julie inherited her indifference from her mother." Mr. Harpson added.

"Oh,..., If I am a Wicked what are my abilities?" Smith asked. "We don't know but is that something that YOU should know? And by the way we call it Indifference y'know, the abilities we inherit from our parents." Fred answered.

"That is something we should find out actually, and also I know Fred you stole to me the records of the body found on Summersalt River. You always forgot that I'm also a Clapper, I can turn time to see these events, and yes I know its you who is responsible for killing a Grine Hunter Smith." Sheriff spoke that made Fred, Julie and also do Smith shocked.

"Okay, wait so why aren't you arresting me?" Smith asked.

"Well basically, it is a self defense act and you have quite excuse for being a Wicked. And you also is not enlightened by these information s before" Sheriff replied.

"Wait, is my father…" with that question Smith is about to ask, everyone looked at each other for a reason that behind Smith there stood a shadow. "Son, Yes, I am a Wicked." It was Thomas's father.

"Dad?"

"Everyone knew that I am but they never knew my indifference since your mother erased the memories of what happened 6 years ago, but there are things that long cannot be hidden." Mr. Smith said.

"Then what is your indifference then? And why erase the memories" Fred suddenly asked. Sheriff just stared at Fred and then to Alexander.

"I have the right to know am I?" Thomas said to his father.His father just placed the tip of his fingers like he's about to hold a hand to a table in front of them and suddenly a shadow came out with sharp claws that strucked his father's hands then turned it,

the human form of his father started to change into a shadow figure that looked like a man but with sharp claws, steel blue eyes, sharp elbows and shoulders, pointed ears and teeth sharpened all in a pitch black color like the boogeyman. Everyone was shook when they saw Alexanders indifference as if it was just new to them.

"I am what you call a Shadow Caller" his father said.

"A what?"

"You'll understand soon."

"How about mom?" Thomas added a question.

"She is also a Wicked a Memorant, a handler of memories. But, thought you might ask so remember this a wicked only can inherit one indifference and that should only be a superior one." his dad said.

"Okay? Why you then? And what do coach wanted in me?"

"Revenge we supposed, but what we are seeing in here is not just that, but your indifference. Alexander what is something that Shadow Callers have that a Grine want?" Mr. Harpson said.

"Good question you two, since 6 years have pass and you guys needed to now this, Thomas and I are a very rare kind species of Wickeds, But then still I should know what Hunters want on us but my memories are also blurry, Elizabeth might have also erased my memories like what she did in you guys." his father said while returning to his human form.

"Why erase the memories ? And how about the murder case of Marcus? What can be the connection?" Fred asked.

"To protect us maybe, a connection? I think I don't know what."Alexander said.

"Leave the murder to us. For now we must protect Alexander and Thomas 'till we know the reason Hunters want them." Sheriff said. "The senior might also be involved in becoming a Wicked." Alexander suspected. The aura inside the altered backyard continued to be deeper and deeper.

Fordwyre Alley, Town of Hoverdrive

In a dark, creepy, cold and hidden alley not far away from Hoverdrive Academy there stood Coach Lee and a pack of Grine Hunters ready for the Leader's return.

"AAAAGGGHHH!!!, That bastard! I was close to getting that kid's life, only if that little Time brat didn't interrupt our conversation." Lee angrily said.

"What will we do with that Cap?" a Grine asked.

"Maybe we can expose that Shadow Caller so he can be so mad to unleash the power he had and to power him up for the Rising."

"You may not want to do that Grine." an old man said from a distance.

The old man got closer, the gray suit and tie matched with an olive green brooch and a black staff made him looked like a Godfather from a Mafia movie.

"What do you want to point out great old Memorant?" Lee said with sarcasm. The old man hold on unto to an old book and hand it over to the Grine Leader.

"Forgetting something I suppose? You always underestimate every indifference in this bestiary." The old Memorant said.

"I don't want to lock myself up and read this stupid book with rubbish information about the indifference Wickeds have."

"Then you are dumb your no worthy for being a Leader." The elder insulted the Grine Leader.

"Speak no sense you filthy hag! Never speak of how I led!" the leader said angrily while he threw the book away from him. "Call the Cait-Sith and the Reapers tell them to get ready for a bounty." The Grine ordered his fellow kind.

Library, Hoverdrive Academy, Town of Hoverdrive

Meanwhile at the school, "So, welcome to the Wicked Weird World Smith, here in school act normal, we don't know if there are dangerous Wickeds around.And we are in this library specifically here because there is this book placed somewhere her that a Wicked created that we can use as our basis for solving things up." Fred said to Smith while they enter the Library, and all of a sudden a girl with a book in General Chemistry popped up and welcomed the two.

"Hello there!" she greeted while the other people inside shush the girl.

"Excuse me but who are you?" Fred asked. "Oh, I am Artemis, Artemis Storms" the girl said.

"Name is a bit G-myth I suppose? Okay, do we know you?" Julie asked.

"Ummm… actually you do, I mean the two guys." she said.

"I am not convinced." Julie said in a sarcastic and annoyed tone. "Remember me? I mean you actually don't cause you didn't noticed me from before ,I meant a while ago when you were fighting that Grine you were so..." as she was about to continue Fred shut her mouth and pulled her towards a bookshelf nearby.

"Shh… don't speak about that on public, some other Wickeds might hear it." Fred whispered to her.

"Sorry." she whispered back.

"Wait you saw that fight right?" Thomas asked.

The girl nodded. "Then you are a Wicked?" Thomas said.

"Ummm… I don't know and by the way you two and ummm I mean three you are not the first Wickeds I saw before actually." she said.

"You don't know your indifference? How can you see our Wicked abilities then, and Why aren't you affected by my powers a while ago?, I meant the Time stop" Fred asked. "I don't know that either but whatever hahaha can I join you?" she requested. Julie looked at the two boys.

"A minute?"

"Sure." the two answered.

"We have to say no." Julie said.

"Actually she might be a help or something." Thomas said.

"How? And we don't if we can trust her." Julie added.

"You can trust me." the girl answered that made the three shocked.

"A minute?!" Julie said to the girl which made the girl walked a little away.

"She know and can see Wickeds' forms she can help to distinguish bad guys and possibly Thomas' abilities and help her to also find hers." Fred said.

"Okay fine ,whatever but if you guys crossed into a problem with her I am out of it, don't expect me to save your asses." Julie threatened the two.

"Why so bitter Julie?" Fred teased her.

"Want me to punch you a soccer field away?" Julie annoyingly said.

"Whatever." Fred said and then turned unto the girl.

"Okay…" As Fred is about to say something the girl interrupted.

"…Okay I'll do it. I'll help you distinguish bad Wicked forms and help Thomas, right? And I promise not to cross you three in a problem."

"That is exactly what I am about to say. You really are a Wicked. Wickeds like us, I mean are you a mind reader or something?" Fred said. "No? I can actually hear your conversation it's a bit loud."

A newly formed Wicked team was now composed .A funny Time Clapper, a bitter Hyperior, an undistinguished Wicked and a weird one. The four that wanted to enter the confusing world of the Wickeds and to solve the mystery behind the Murder and the reason why the Grine Hunters and other Wickeds wanted the abilities of a Shadow Caller will now start their journey as a team.

But, the four never knew they were eavesdropped by an under covered Cait-Sith spy that was just behind the other bookshelf, ready to deliver a leaked message to the Leader who is just watching, manipulating and now making a move to end the life of them all.
