Detective Dickson 2 : The Journey begins

d**k's plan

d**k looked around, he had never seen so much people in despair, they looked so hopeless and didn't think they could get back to the life they had, he had to do something and fast.

He walks over to Myranha, he motions to Lefinna, he wanted to discuss something in private.

"Hey Myranha, can you hear me" d**k asks in the same telepathic manner he usually spoke with Lefinna.

"I can, what sorcery is this?" Myranha asks as she responds back telepathically, she looks over at d**k and d**k gives her a wink, she had an uneasy grin on her face, clearly, she wasn't used to this kind of communication.

"Relax, nothing to it, Leffy and I use this means to talk when we are in a tight spot and we wouldn't want your people hearing us, they look depressed already, I need to ask you a few questions" d**k continues.

"Okay then, what is it" Myranha says, the uneasy look on her face had vanished, she now maintained her normal facial expression.

"You got a team of unusual creatures, I see fangs in some of the men and women and I am pretty sure there are spellcasters here too, haven't you tried fighting back those beasts and maintaining an area in the surface city."

"We have tried several times" the voice comes off as depressed.

"Is there any way I can show you?"

"Yeah, just recall the memories, I will view it."

"Okay then."

Dick finds himself in grassland, the scenery there was amazing, it had green lovely grasses around, the sky around was blue in colour, it didn't have a sun, d**k turns around, he sees Lefinna and Myranha standing, Myranha too had a surprised look on her face.

"Leffy, you didn't tell me you could do this" d**k smiles as he admires the place.

"I take it we are in Myranha's mind, you found a way to transfer our consciousness here right."

Lefinna gives d**k a sly smile, Myranha recovers from the shock and straightens herself up.

"I added a few quirks to her memories, when we view it, it won't just be shown from her perspective but from every personality with a soul present" Lefinna says aloud.

"So you wanna show us some memories" d**k smiles at Myranha, Myranha winks back, they soon arrive in a battlefield, it was during noon and the sun was high, the sun was still present, there was a team of vampires, werewolves, minotaurs, ogres, goblins and humans, they were headed by Myranha herself, against them was the blue blur, a skinny figure who was wearing a hood along with many Azexelan spawns, they dashed at each other, at first, Myranha's army was pushing them back as a variety of the vampires, ogres and goblin shamans were versed in mage craft, then the blue blur said he wanted to get serious, he danced around the battle slitting necks and vanquishing all the foes till an army of over ten thousand was reduced to a few hundreds, Myranha casted a large scale teleportation spell to enable everyone to escape doom.

Myranha continues to show d**k and Lefinna thousands of more memories all of them having the same sad endings, d**k noticed something about all the memories, it was all done during high noon and also, the tide of the battle usually changed cause the priestess manipulated reality to her benefit, also there was a certain human who survived in all the memories, d**k noticed that in one, his head was cut off and seconds later, he came back into the battlefield, the hooded figure approaches him, she rips his heart out and steals a ring from his finger. The human didn't come back like he had done before, later, Myranha gave the figure a sneak attack and ripped her heart out, the figure drops dead to the ground, and as if time was reversed, Myranha arrived trying to attack from behind like she had done before but the figure was totally ready as it stopped her and hit her away, Lefinna and Myranha also saw this, they appeared to be surprised too.

"Wow, I recall her catching me trying to attack her from behind but I don't remember the first instance" Myranha says in disbelief.

"Yes, the memories are as a result of your soul's contact with the physical reality, it isn't bound by time, that's why all those memories are shown."

"It must be the ring, it has the ability to reverse time for the wearer if he or she dies" d**k says with a tense look.

"That is the reason why your team never won, the opposition can reverse time and manipulate reality, I knew it was impossible for the team you had on to lose confrontation over and over again, we get that ring, we banish the unwanted guests."

"Turns our there are other time artifacts in this reality" Lefinna says aloud, she was staring at Myranha.

Myranha turns suddenly, she had a look of relief on her face.

"Yes, there was supposedly a band which enables the wearer to travel to the past or the future but it was never found" Myranha says aloud.

"Well, we don't need that, our ticket to winning this battle is here, we just need to get the ring" d**k says showing off a large smile.

"And I have got a plan to do it."

Dick turns towards Myranha

"I need you to mobilise all the people, tell them we are going for war and this time we are definitely winning."

Myranha gives a slight nod, she vanishes from the spot immediately.

"I returned her to her body, I thought we were here to stop Azexela herself and not help take care of one of her mediums" Lefinna glares at d**k.

"Well, that was the plan but based on the way we saw her fidget, we both know she knows nothing about Azexela's location but I am pretty sure that can wait, we bring hope to this people in despair and we find a way to stop Azexela for good from wrecking any other universe later" d**k smiles at Lefinna, Lefinna gives a slight nod.

Dick returns back to his body, the people were grumbling, they felt it was useless going against Azexela as they had already lost most of their comrades, Myranha efforts to rally them was in vain as the people took no heed to what they said and continued with their pitiful acts, d**k knew what he had to do.

"Hey, you there" d**k says pointing to a centaur. The centaur looked around to be sure it was him, this caused everyone to focus on both d**k and the centaur.

"Do you mean me?" the centaur asks.

"Yeah, you, your legs, they don't look like they belong here, they should be out there on the surface running wild and free, don't you think" d**k says to him, the centaur's face lits up, he was considering what d**k had said.

"And you" d**k says pointing to an ogre

"Ain't you tired of a woman bringing your daily needs, thought you was supposed to be some proud race, where the man takes care of the woman, you shame your forefathers by this pitiful display." The ogre had a solemn look on his face, all the other ogres appeared to be deep in thought.

Dick moves over to the kids playing football, he takes the ball from them and begins to demonstrate different skills with the ball, he raises it for a while, dances with the ball moving it all over his body.

"That is totally bruise, man, how do you do that" one of the kids says aloud, he had golden dirty hair and a freckled face.

"You wanna learn it?" d**k asks.

"Yeah, sure" all the kids said jumping up with glee.

"Well, I will teach you but ain't gonna be down here, it is up on that surface" d**k grins as he passes the ball to the kid with the golden hair, he turns to face the crowd

"Look y'all, I know you guys feel hopeless to see all of these happen to you, everyone would feel the same but that doesn't mean we should sulk and give up just cause it seems impossible, my gramps once told me 'the only thing that is impossible are the things you believe you can't do', I thought it was a load of bullshit at first and right before my eyes, I have done things I once thought were impossible, I have carried a train with my bare hands, outran a cheetah and I have fought alongside legends, I mean I see Dracula's son everyday, it's f*****g dope. I don't care how strong the mistress is or how many times y'all have faced her in the past, what I know is her tyrannical rule ends now, I want a world where we can go to stadiums under the hot sun to watch baseball, basketball, football games, I want a world where I can take the woman of my dreams and kiss her under the drizzling rain, I wanna make f*****g snowmen and angels, I want a world where our kids would be proud to be and they would run about playing football with me, I want a world where we ain't restricted by a roof, I want back the world where we had unlimited possibilities" d**k says aloud, he looked over at everyone, they each were given him undivided attention.

"But I can't do it alone, I need y'all help, I want you to fight alongside with me today and tell tales of this moment to your kids, tell them about how a handsome light skin six feet tall individual led them to victory, I want a world where you look at your kids and you are happy cause you gave them a chance that they can be everything they ever wanted, Azexela may have the ability to control reality but she can't take away our will, and I swear by the gods, I shall march boldly and claim our reality back from her, though we have lost many, we shall not give up, now who is with me" d**k ends thundering his voice aloud, everyone had stoop up from where they are, they looked inspired.

"I wanna run around free, tired of staying here, it is uncomfy" the centaur says aloud

"So hell yeah, count me in."

"And I am tired of sitting here like a pathetic failure, I wanna go out there and cater for my family through sheer hard work as I have always done so yeah, now, I will fight to the death" a grey ogre shouts aloud.

"And we wanna learn those totally cool tricks" the small boys chorus aloud.

"Good, now that's the faces I wanna see, y'all were looking before like how Azexela is gonna be looking when we are done with her" d**k smirks

"Listen well, y'all cause I got a plan."

************************************

The priestess was sitting in a chair, the room was decorated with various portraits of celebrities and past heroes, a scrying ball was on the table not too far from her, she looked at it and it showed an army of men and women with determined faces, they were dressed in fur coats. they were chanting songs of war, they were a few feet away from the building.

"The stupidity of these mortals is almost hilarious" the mistress smirks as she snaps her fingers, the people who were outside were suddenly fazed as the ground around them opens up, out came Azexelan spawns which had achieved final forms. They looked vicious and angry, Lefinna makes her away out of the crowd as she brings out the transportation device d**k used normally, she taps a button and the army and the Azexelan spawns disappeared. They appear in a very cold region as there was ice and snow everywhere, it was the north pole, the snakes on the Azexelan spawns had stopped hissing as their bodies couldn't handle the temperature, even the spawns themselves appeared to have lost agility, d**k had seen from his confrontations with the creatures was that they were warmblooded creatures and had very low resistance to the harsh cold weathers, he noticed that wherever he had found them, the weather was always quite hot meaning that this creatures couldn't survive in a place where the temperature was below zero degree Celsius, he had told the mages there to enchant the coats in order to enable the wearers to withstand any kind of temperature, they had done that and in this location, the people of this universe had the absolute advantage.

"What happened, where did they vanish to, scrying ball show me" the mistress wails frantically as she fumbles with the artifact.

"Somewhere you would never find them" came a voice behind her, she turned her back, It was d**k. d**k gives a light smile as he makes his way towards her.

"I saw the confrontations y'all have had in the past, the reason you always emerged victorious was cause of your ability to manipulate reality itself, the creatures on the other hand are just dumb brutes who need to be told what to do before they act so I just needed to take the fight away from you" d**k smirks at her, he removes his golden gun from the jacket.

"I hope you said your prayers cause you gonna be meeting your maker real soon" d**k smirks as he leaps at her, he lands on her and the duo both crash through the window, they land on the ground with a thud.

"You shall pay for your impudence, mortal" the priestess growls aloud as she dashes towards d**k, d**k disappears from her point of view, he appears behind her and fires at her back.

"Stop toying with me, mortal" she screams aloud, the whole place turned dark and a stable of dark skinned horses appeared they were racing towards d**k, d**k leaps high in the air and lands on a horse, he manages to keep his balance, there was a large red barrier which had grown overhead, it covered four miles of ground and was fifteen feet tall, the space in it was full of running horses and d**k was present in it too, he was on a horse and he could see the priestress floating in the air above the racing horses very close to the roof of the barrier.

"You shall meet your demise, mortal" the priestess thunders aloud as she hovers towards him, d**k hops on the horses as he makes his way towards the incoming mistress, they were locked in a fistfight for a while, the mistress showed extraordinary strength but d**k was very skillful with his moves, d**k dashes at her pointing his weapon, he fires off repeatedly, the priestess disappears, d**k was still leaping from on horse to another, he looks around for her, the barrier had disappeared and the horses were gone, he lands softly on the ground, The priestess reappears as a giant, she gives off a cruel laughter as she marches d**k to the ground with her right foot, she reappears holding d**k by his neck, d**k was bleeding all over his body, he was mortally wounded.

As swiftly as he could, he grabs the hood from her face, he sees a female face with pimples and dark spots everywhere, she had a pointed nose with an unusually big mouth, her hair was a mess as she was bald on some spots in her scalp.

"Now I see why Azexela chose you, you the only thing uglier than her spawns" d**k smirks at her, her face curves off into a frown as she flings d**k away, d**k struggles to get to his feet.

"You can alter reality, why not your looks" d**k asks.

"The mistress channels energy to me only for combative purposes" The priestess says with a frown.

"And you are the perfect one for that, you are uglier than sin, you got no friends no wonder it doesn't hurt you to wipe everyone out" d**k smirks now standing on his feet.

"I bet when you was a kid, your mama had to feed you with a slingshot" d**k continues smirking. The priestess dashes towards him, she lifts him in the air by his right feet and brushes him harshly against the ground, d**k's skin peels off as blood flows freely and his skeleton shows visibly.

"You are one cocky mortal, thinking you can defeat me singlehandedly" The priestess jeers at him.

"Let's not jump to conclusions, the person who is gonna smoke your ugly ass is right behind you" d**k mutters out, the priestess turns around and sees Myranha as she plunges Lefinna's sword into her chest. The priestess let's go of d**k, d**k falls to the ground, the priestess staggers back slowly, she was bleeding profusely from her chest and she held it tightly.

"I don't understand, what were you doing here then" the priestess says in d**k's direction.

Most of d**k's body had healed up, he straightens himself up and says

"I am just the distraction, Myranha was the real deal, you can alter reality meaning I certainly stood no chance against you, I had to even the playing field somehow, I needed you to think everyone was out battling the spawns except me, I told Myranha to stay a safe distance away till you dropped your guard down and when you did, she struck at the perfect moment."

"You fool, I posses the time ring, I will simply reverse time back to when I was alive and kill you both" the priestess snarls.

"Ooh you mean this" d**k grins as he holds a small silver ring up. The priestess face curves into amazement, she was shocked.

"I am from the hood where my niggas were good at pickpocketing and amongst them all, I was their king, I took a man's pants from him and he didn't notice until he had walked a few miles away so getting this lovely from you was a piece of cake, besides it looks better on me."

"I will get you for this..." the priestess snarls as she breathes her last and slump to her death. In the north pole, all the Azexelan spawns vanish suddenly, it was happening all over the planet, the spawns kept disappearing until they were no longer existing.

"Nice job, d**k" Lefinna says as she pushes a button on the device and everyone reappears at d**k and Myranha's location.

"We did it, now I can run free" the centaur shouts aloud with glee as it jumps and runs about.

"This belongs to you" d**k says as he hands the ring to Myranha, Myranha gives a light smile as she returns the sword to Lefinna, Lefinna hips it at her back and it vanishes.

"Thanks for the invisible spell you put on the sword, it will enable us to be more discreet" d**k smiles at a goblin shaman. The goblin shaman waves back at him, most of the mages there were goblins, a few were centaurs and just one human was a mage.

"Thank you so much, Alpha-human" Myranha says to d**k, she was overjoyed beyond reason.

"It is what we do" d**k smiles at her.

Everyone kept thanking d**k and Lefinna, they were really overjoyed for triumphing, their once hopeless faces was now full of happiness and faith. d**k looked around, he had never seen so many people so happy, they now had hope and they believed they were truly unstoppable.
