The Mental Link - Part 1

"Are you sure this will work?"
Jakeob Mixel turned around. "Don't be stupid, Kia, of course, it will!"
"Good. I'm hoping it will," Kia Visoun replied with a sigh.
Yppah Visoun leaned against the wall of Jakeob's lab. "It better work," he threatened, " because I don't want my uncle following our every move anymore!"
Kia glared at him. "Your dad, Ypp- my uncle- follows our every move, and do you see me complaining? No?"
Jakeob swivelled around in his chair. "Uh, guys, please don't start arguing-"
"Well, I'm not the one with an evil sorcerer as a father!" Yppah yelled, taking a step towards Kia.
Jakeob, panicked, started flipping switches on his remote and typing furiously on his laptop.
Kia, furious, jumped towards her cousin.
Jakeob hit a button, and a glass cylinder surrounded Kia.
She proceeded to bang on the glass, which would not break. She charged up a dark chi energy blast and fired. Smoke filled her cylinder. She coughed, but the glass didn't break.
Jakeob turned to Yppah. "Honestly. Why."
Yppah shrugged.
Jakeob rolled his eyes, mumbled "Just like his father.", and pointed to an x on the ground. "Listen up. How this machine works, to make it simple, is that it will make Kia and Luke's mental link smaller and smaller, and then it will shatter, causing Luke to..."
"Back up, back up, back up, back up. Simpler, please. How does it break? And what do you need me for?"
"Ok, I'll try to make it as simple as I can. It will bring Kia and her father's souls closer together, until the power surge causes them to be blown far away, breaking the mental link. The catch is that there is a 50% chance Luke will appear here. I've calculated where, and it's right there." He pointed, more dynamically, to the tape in the x shape on the floor.
Yppah replied,"Oh. So you want me to be in a position that allows me to jump on Luke, or contain him so that he doesn't..."
"Be my dad?" Kia shrugged.
"Yeah!" Yppah smiled.
Jakeob smiled too. "You ready, Kia?"
"Heck yeah, I am!" Kia smiled, throwing a fist in the air.
"OK then," Jakeob said, flipping a switch, "let's do this!"

Death's Duty Calls, Act 2- The Queen, Part 1- The Father

Act 2 - The Queen Part 1- The Father The curtain rises on the forest. The campsite is gone. The forest is still there. Jason and Jay are walking across the scene, with their bags on their backs. They stop about one-quarter of the way across the stage, stop, and turn back.  JASON- Daryn. Pick up the pace. Daryn jogs up to them, panting. He leans against Jay, who steps back. He slips and hits the ground. DARYN, out of breath - It’s not my fault that I don’t have as much endurance as you two. JAY- You wouldn’t survive a day with Conrad and Aletha. JASON- He’s a prince. He’s soft. Daryn shoots up. DARYN- I’m not soft! I’m strong! Watch me! He pulls Jason’s sword off Jason’s belt and swings it at a tree with no effect. JASON- You’re strong-willed. That’s… good enough. DARYN- Yeah. I’m strong. He puffs out his chest and parades around Jay and Jason.  JAY, sarcastic - Ha, ha. Hilarious. C’mon. We need to get to her lair before sundown, or else fighting he...

Mental Link Part 6

Kia coughs. Twice. Harder. Jakeob puts her back, and Yppah instinctively gets closer to her by pushing Jakeob to the side. She sits up and looks straight at Jakeob and not Yppah. "Jake? Why would you..." "Shhhhh. Cuz." Yppah turned her head to look at him. "Jakey boy is on a bit of an... emotional roller coaster right now. Look at me." "Jakeob," she said hoarsely. "Please..." Yppah growled a little bit. "Why the hell is it all about him ?" Kia went red and looked down sheepishly. "Yppah, please... I just want to see Jakeob..." Yppah sat next to her. "Explain." "Explain what, cuz?" Kia asked. "Why do you still trust him, even after he hooked you up to a poorly built machine, made you horribly sick through said machine, and almost blew you to bits?" Yppah said, feeling tears start to well up in his eyes. Jakeob sat on the other side of Kia, looking at his feet. Kia didn't noti...

The Mental Link- Part 2

Silver light blasted through the tube. It flashed, then intensified. Kia screamed. "Is this normal?" Yppah asked nervously as her screams of pain continued. "Umm.... no." Jakeob stared at his computer. "I think..." Yppah blocked his ears. "You think what?" "This isn’t in my calculations." Jakeob traced the computer screen. "Luke fortified the link so she couldn’t lose it this way." Yppah stared at the shadow of his cousin grabbing her skull in pain. "Can you stop it?" "There’s only one way to make it stop." Jakeob looked at him with a glint in his eye. "I have to make it stronger." " WHAT ?" Yppah grabbed Jakeob by the shoulders. "Dude, are you insane ? You’re going to make it more powerful, and so  more painful? And that’s supposed to fix the screaming Kia problem?" "I wish I could make it easier on her." Jakeob whispered. "I’ve just made her closer to...
