I didn;t care what she wanted with Joshua I was slightly glad I didn't have to face my challengey thing. Actually what does she want with Joshua
'Yeah what do you want with Joshua?' I rolled my eyes 'I bet you guys have a history too right?'

I tried very hard not to laugh... and ended up snorting.
"Sorry." I said quietly.

“I remembered more”
“Joshua within your jurisdiction lies the aptitude to behest the medium that is time. With such complete hegemony it is imperative that you evade the explicit perils that would append the advancement of your power. Should you relinquish control the connotations could be disastrous, whole eras, civilisations could be obliterated, cleared from existence. WE could awaken to the cacophony of screams as Hades reigns on earth, multi-dimensional desolation, or the destruction of the fabric of time itself."
I flashed them all a wide cheesy grin
" I think thats all"
the wicca human (Tucker) looked painfully confused before saying "what?! "
"basically, Josh go in room, history go boom,as in bye bye world"

"Oh." I said, swallowing, and for the first time in about an hour, actually looking at Joshua.

'Eek' I looked over at Joshua and noticed he had paled slightly 'Joshua, sweetie, please don't enter the room ever'
Suddenly as my challenge seemed a distant thought I looked around the faces, seeing that everyone's complexion had gone lighter in the aftershock of the news. I started to giggle when I though we would kinda look like vampires and my giggling became worse and worse until I had to sit down and clutch my stomach
'Ow ow ow ow. Hilarity. Causing. Pain'

"Nicki, you have a problem." I said, smiling wryly, but even she couldn't make me laugh right now. So i had been right, magic enhancement not good... so why did i feel so bad?

I looked up from my seat on the floor and sobered up when I caught the end of Mai's thoughts. I had a few theories but I decided not to say anything, right now I was actually quite comfy
'Okay so... Going in the room is a bad idea, but we're gonna need alotta weapons if we're going up against like an entire city, possibly even planet, of the bad guys so we need to formulate a plan right?' I stood up and dusted myself off in a business-like manner 'Now, obviously we're gonna win and save the world etc etc but guys c'mon!' I scoffed 'we gotta do it in style! Now anyone got any ideas?'
In actuality I was doubting, very slightly, but still doubting that we weren't gonna get through this but my determination kept my very brave face in place. Hehe lookee I even rhymed!

I sensed Nicki's worries, and shook my head,
"No way, Nicki." I said, "We can do this. We dont need magic upgrades. With ..."I swallowed my childishness-this was important "With Joshua here, we can take as long as we like to meditate, or whatever, build up own own powers. We can search this place top to bottom and inside out for weapons, and we can find research books to help us figure out what the hell that damn cube is. We just need to work together. But we can do this. Doc knows about weapons, Josh can sort the time we need, i'm pretty good at speed research... we can do this, guys."

I smiled and nodded
'Plus it looks like we got two new recruits' I looked at Tucker and Ate 'Which always helps' I paused to gather all my thoughts into one place 'But where the hell do we start?'
(I gotta go, speak to you laters!)

"I think finding out what the hell is going on would be a reasonable starting point. Who has the glowy cube?"

I took the cube and lay it in the palm of my hand, placing my hand in the middle of where we were all standing
'Here. The almighty cube that could' I glanced at Tucker 'End the world as we know it'

"Or... we're on totally the wrong track an' it's just a trinket." I said,"Hey, just keeping perspective."

From the moment that Ate freak appeared out of nowhere, my Talisman, the necklace that I found in my now-dead Grandfather's attic and which helped me to discover and control my powers . . . until I started trying to increase them . . . anyway, from the moment she appeared, my Talisman started to react, and even while she was speaking to me and all the others were discussing what to do now, I was experiencing some major visions of the past.
Not something that happens much anymore, but still one of my basic powers, to see visions of the past or future where I need to know or change something. I saw flashes of African planes, massacres, lycanthropes of the most lethal beasts on the planet, then . . . Athens. And slowly, the vision focused on one temple out of the thousands in that ancient city. Somehow I just *knew* that it was the Delphi temple, the temple of Apollo whose prophets foretold the actions and the wisdom of the Gods. According to Myth anyway.
A man, who looked too familiar for words, was there, and then he pointed out. The vision shifted to what he was pointing to, a large mountain that seemed to reach beyond the sky. Then I turned back around and around the neck of the statue of Apollo . . . was my Talisman.
With a flash, the vision ended.
And as cryptic as it may have seemed, I knew all too well what it meant.
With a scowl, I turned around from the Labyrinth. I snatched my key back from Doc and started stalking back to the elevator.
"Hey! What's your problem?" Maya shouted.
"Just come on," I growled. "You're right, OK? I can't keep increasing my powers before I'm ready for them. It took me long enough to learn how to fully control the one that I got the last time I was in the Labyrinth. My Time Talisman, the thing that helped me discover my powers in the first place, is supposed to help me control my powers. If ever I can't control my power, then that means that I've overstepped my bounds."
"That doesn't answer where you're going?" the purple haired Nicki interrupted.
I had reached the elevator and turned my key, opening the doors. "The fourth floor is the Library. It's got everything we could possibly need on finding out what that cube thing is, and there might actually be a reference to something like whatever is going on right now with the city."
I sighed. The one thing that I hate more than just about anything else is being told *not* to do something. Doesn't mean I'm stupid and I'll do it anyway, I just don't like being told not to do it.
Probably why me and Maya are so "compatible". She's always telling me not to do stuff, and I'm always telling her what to do. The whole opposites attract thing.
"Well?" I ask. "The city is being overrun by demons, and I've literally got the key to the place where we can find out what needs to be done, or at least help us figure out what is going on, and you're all just standing there staring at me like I'm Draconis. Now, if you don't want me to use Doc's cell phone to call in that paid favor that I set up with Big D, how about we resolve this conflict ourselves?"

((Ate is a godDESS, honey. *grins*))
I shook my head slightly, not quite sure what amazed me more, that he had admitte being wrong, or that he was still telling us all what to do and acting like he knew everything.
"Un-bloody-believable." I murmured as we all trecked after him anyway. Nicki grinned sideways at me, and almost by rote i snapped, "Shut up." Before she said anything. We piled into the small lift, and somehow i ended up next to Joshua. I rolled my eyes for roughly the millionth time that night. "You're so damned lucky Ate turned up." I told him spitefully. Pretty much just for the sake of it... and i felt a little better.

I started to sing in my head as the lift jerked back into life and I sighed, wondering if we could just figure out what the heck was going on.
I sighed and continued on with my song
/If you're happy and you know it save the world. If you're happy and you know it save the world. If you're happy and you know it and ya really wanna show it, if you're happy and you know it save the world/
Grinning I contentedly waited for us to reach the library
