• chapter 1:how it started

    For me, blasting people with lightning and flying on a thunder cloud is a normal thing now..... y-you dont know me? Its me, you know, Kenny, the newest hero. prince of cartopia? you dont even know what that is? whatever, ill tell my story.

    It all started when i was about eight and i lived on a planet where chocolate cows dont exist-planet earth. oh so you know about THAT planet. Anyways i was in third grade and thought that my name was Keith at the time, and i NEVER payed attention . I was normal---or at least i thought i was. i would watch t.v all day wondering if i could ever escape into the world where people arent so dull and normal.

    "that'll be the day" i thought.

    moths later, I recieved my wish. When i got to lunch at the last day of school, a kid was starting trouble with two of my friends, Abner and Neeko.

    "leave them alone," I said, trying to help my friends. Suddenly, the boy just cried for a minute and then started laughing,then he screamed. Abner, Neeko, and I took 3 steps back. "is he crazy?" i thought to myself.

    Out of nowhere, the boy ran up to me and punched me in the jaw. "ARE YOU RETARDED?" I yelled out loud. I punched him back, then he fell on the ground, paralyzed. We saw static electricity coming from my hands, and also from the boy.

    "woah," said abner in amazement, "how'd u do that, Keith??" My reply was a silent, open mouth. we decided not to talk about it, thinking that maybe the static came from something else. So, we decided to leave the boy on the ground like anyone else at my school wouldve done.

    2 hours later, in class, the intercom went off. "Keith Shaw, come to the principles office imediatly"

    "can i go to the bathroom!?" said Abner and Neeko at the same time as the intercom stopped.
    "fine, just go" said ms.Leyvee the mean, strict, abusive Teacher. The two boys ran to the bathroom.

    what'd i do? I thought.

    As i walked into the principles office, i noticed ms.Graham,the principle, and three men in black.

    "what hapened?"i asked Ms.Graham.

    "we heard about the incident during lunch," she replied "and these men, the 'FBI', came in to do some tests on you" i looked confused.

    are they gonna do an essay on me? i thought. Looking back I cant blame myself for thinking that,after all i was only eight years old back then.

    "we're gonna experiment on you, to see if we can make a weapon out of you." I thought about the good things that might come out of doing that.it turned out there werent any,so i took steps back until i could reach the exit door. Unfortunatly, one of the men grabbed me by the arms. "it's too late now," he said."you're comin' with us" i got a little hot tempered and shocked him by accident, making him let me go.I watched the stunned agent for a moment, and i ran out of the office and out of the school.

    Chapter 2: The explanation

    "Keith!!!" I looked back and saw Abner and Neeko, aparently watching the incident. I also saw the agents right behind them. "RUN!" I started going faster,and much,much faster. Lightning fast. Then i tripped. I fell in front of a building, a museum to be exact. i looked behind and saw Neeko bursting in the air from fire and Abner flying on the winds.

    "HOW THE HECK??" we all said. I signalled them to follow me into the museum. It was big enough to hide in. Everyone,including the agents, ran into the museum. We saw dinosaurs, presidents, and many other legends of america. Abner swerved to the right, with Neeko and I following. The agents didnt see us, so they went the other way.We felt the building elevate.

    "what's that?" i asked

    "never mind that now,"said abner "in here!"

    We ran into a room with about 120 pictures, from ones that looka like really sad,mean people, to joyous,happy people. we were amazed. We rested for a minute and thought about how we've never seen this museum before. Then we thought about how these pictures looked like the people could just jump out at you.

    "guys," I said."look at that picture, in the middle"

    the picture was of a girl, about ten years old
    "It looks like shes trying to escape the frame," said Abner

    "like she dosen't belong here." said Neeko finishing Abners sentance.

    "well," i said, just now figuring out how to make a thunder bolt appear in my palm at my command,"most of the stuff that happened today made no sense. I'll break the frame glass and see what happens."

    "how about we take the picture OUT OF the frame?" asked Abner. "fine,"i replied,"take the fun out of it" As he took it out, the paper turned into a mystic aura and went through abners hands. The aura grew and grew,almost as large as the room. Then we saw someone apear. The aura slowly shrunk into the body. There was a flash of light. Then the girl from the picture appeared.

    She wasn't in the picture anymore, so you could see all of her features: blonde, tall, a little pale, and wondering where the heck she was. She had on a Crylon blue dress and saphire beaded necklace.

    "who are you?" She asked us

    "I'm Keith and these are my friends,Neeko and Abner." I exclaimed "who are you?"

    "Saphire Crylon's my name," she implyed "i'm an aura gaurdian." We were confused.

    "i thought those were only in the anime," said abner, thinking out loud as usual.

    "why would you think that?" asked saphire

    "never mind that now!" I said, getting impatient."explain yourself, please!"

    "fine!"she said, apparently not liking my tone."i was with my friends (other aura people) at my sisters birthday party. We were having fun, Dancing, playing video games,and other things. Then the C.A.O.A came." "who's the C.A.O.A?" Neeko asked with curiosity "Cartopian. Aura. Obtaining. Agencey. they claim to be protectors and to keep us safe, but they really just use us for energy to create something--"

    "wait, what's cartopian or whatever?" I asked

    "Cartopia is a planet and cartopians are the people and creations that live on it!!!" yelled Saphire."and its the planet i was born! anyways, they came in, and they turned our powers against us by trapping us all in high-tech picture frames and bringing us to this mirage museum, not allowing us to use our aura inside of the frame. But you three managed to save me, and without breaking the glass! i would've done that if i were you, because if you break one frame, all of them break along with it."

    I gave abner "my told you so" look that looks like this razz . Then I started to form a ball of lightning. I threw the ball of lightning at a picture frame, and all of the frames broke creating a gigantic amount of aura. The Aura formed into people, just like Saphire, and 119 other Cartopians appeared before us.

    "ok, so i'm still stuck on that cartopia thing." I said "It's a planet, right? is there new life or something?"

    Saphire explaned it all "Cartopia is a galaxy of planets where anything can happen, where all the cartoons ever created by anyone on Earth exist. My family was born there." Saphire started using her aura powers on me, not by hurting me at all, but by trying to discover what I came from i guess. "apparently you are one too, I wondered how you were able to create that blast of electricity."

    "We have powers too," exclaimed Abner "check us!" Saphire used her aura to check Abner and Neeko.

    "you guys weren't Cartopians," she said "but you guys have been around--Keith is your name right?--if i'm correct, If a human is around a cartopian that happens to have powers,you'll get powers yourself and therefore, become a cartopian."

    "so," said abner trying to get this straight "we weren't Cartopians before, but now since we were hangin' 'round keith, we are?"

    "yes, exactly" came Saphires reply.

    Before any one could say anything else, there was a rumble coming from the ground."it looks like the mirage museum has stopped at Cartopia."said Saphire "We better get out of here before it rises up again"


    chapter 3:the arrival and revival

    Neeko, Abner, and I jump out of the building as we heard Saphire shout "WAIT GUYS!!!" we looked down to find we hadn't finished landing. Luckily Neeko and Abner could already fly. I was just about to fall as I summoned a thundercloud to carry me by accident. We were safe. The aura people waited quietly for the mirage museum to float down, and when it did they all roamed free. Abner, Neeko, and I looked around us and saw many vivid things. There were gigantic studios and about 100 apartment buildings on each street. You could see Cartoons that you would see on t.v walking down the streets.

    "Guys," said Neeko "is that sonic the hedgehog?" In fact, it was. He looked busy so we decided not to mess with him.

    "Come on you three," yelled Saphire "i have an important favor for you"

    We followed Saphire for quite a while when she told us "you guys can fly right? I'm kinda gettin' tired of walkin'." The three of us flew in the air once again, then Saphire followed, making her aura lift her in the air. She led us to a spot where a wall of black and red aura. I could sense something bad happening. Neeko and Abner had weird looks on their faces. they can sense it too i thought.

    "what is this?" I asked

    "good question," she said "its a sealing chamber, with the same material from the frame. My brothers in there..... i was hoping one of you guys could save him." As soon as she said "in there" i started forming a ball of lightning and i threw it at the wall of aura, and it bounced off and hit me in the face.

    "OW!!" i shouted. This time i covered myself with electricity and flew into the wall. It was trying to keep me out , but i was struggling to save Saphires brother.

    I managed to get my head in, and I saw Saphires brother. He was in pain. I saw black static around him.

    "GAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!" he screamed

    "-grunt- hold.....on!!!" I shouted. I looked back at Neeko and Abner, who were just staring into space."GUYS!!" I shouted "A LITTLE HELP!?" they snapped out of it and tried to help. Neeko covered himself in fire and tried to get in with me, and Abner tried to open the wall of aura with bursts of wind. We got in after that, but the next problem was getting Saphires brother. Neeko touched him once and got shocked with black electricity.

    "Ow!!" he yelled. Then I tried. the black electricity did the same thing, but didnt hurt me. It actually powered me up.

    "lets go Neeko!" I yelled "Abner!! Open the wall!!!" He opened it with all his power, and it was just enough for us to get out.

    "Lets get out of here," said Saphire "follow me!"

    We followed her to a house, apparently her home. "In here!!" she yelled. We ran all the way to her room,and set her brother on the bed. He had on a burned jacket and tattered jeans. He also had what was left of his gloves on his hands.

    "Is he okay?" I asked

    "It may be severe," exclaimed Saphire "but I can handle it" She used her aura powers over him,and black electricity came from his body and on to Saphires hands. "gah!!" she yelled and stepped back. "okay," she said "maybe I cant handle it" I tried to get the electricity from his body but MY body suddenly turned into small ions and i was going into Saphire's brother, uncontrollably.

    "hey!!" I shouted. "I CANT STOP!!" It was too late anyway. my body was already inside of Saphire's brother. I looked around and saw a shadow shocking everything with black lightning. "Hey, You!!" I yelled. The shadow turned around, looked at me with its red eyes, and then shot a black lightning bolt at me.

    I caught the ball of black lightning and threw it back at the shadow. Its eyes went wide as it got hit with its own attack. I laughed a little when it fell. The shadow made an angry look with its red eyes, and disappeared into the floor of whatever body part of Saphire's brother. I still saw it though. it was trying to get away.

    I threw a ball of lightning at the part of Saphire's brother's body that looked like a shadow was standing there, but nothing else. The Shadow rose up from the ground in pain.

    "OW!!! THAT DOES IT!!" it shouted

    "so you can talk?" i asked

    "dosent matter," it said "youre finished!!" He threw black lightning clumsily and infuriatingly, but it didnt do any damage to me. I struck back at it with my own lightning and he was defeated. his body was suddenly dissapearing, out of his control. "NOOO!!!" It shouted.

    As it disappeared, i started going back into ion form to get out of Saphire's brother. I started growing to my regular hieght as I had escaped and turned back to human form. I looked at Saphire's brother, who had already started to begin waking up. "phew," i said," that took a while".

    Chapter 4: Pure Crylon

    "Chris!!!" yelled Saphire "you're back!!"

    "his name is chris crylon?" asked Neeko

    "yes" said chris, still a little injured.

    "you're not fully healed yet, chris," said Saphire "let me help" She used her aura on him to recover whatever was injured.

    "thanks, sis" said Chris"who are your friends?"

    "this is Keith, Abner, and Neeko," Saphire exclaimed "Keith is a cartopian, raised on Earth, and Neeko and Abner have obtained powers from being around him."

    "hey," said Abner "how is keith a cartopian anyway?"

    "chris can answer that question," exclaimed Saphire "his aura powers are so strong that he can see what's happened to you in the past." already chris was checking what happened to me. His eyes widened.

    "y--you!!" He said with enjoyment. He kneeled down before me.

    "what are you doing?" i asked him

    "You're name isnt Keith," He exclaimed "you are the legend! Kenny, the prince of cartopia!!"

    "what?" asked Saphire,Abner,Neeko, and I in unison.

    "let me explain," said chris "Your father's name was Kyle sprite--" "wait, my name is kenny SPRITE?" i asked him. "yes, sprite meaning 'spirit'. anyways he and your mother, Jenny sprite, had you about 9 years ago. Your father gave each of you a necklace, describing your powers."

    "I have it!" I said."my mom--or foster mom--told me that I was born with it on. She never told me that I was a foster child though" I showed him my necklace, which had a golden yellow string to go around my neck, and a clear sphere with a lightning bolt frozen in the middle.

    "Yes, and you also have a sister, Kaitlyn, and two brothers, Keegan and your twin Kent." Chris continued "not far away from the hospital you were born in, researchers were trying to bring back fossils when a lion with seven tailscrashed through the building. they foolishly tried to contain it, forgetting the risks of their lives As soon as you and your twin was born,the Lion started to destroy most of the area.

    "You had the power to tame it somehow, and now it is within you because you absorbed it. In order to do that though, you had to go high in the air. I dont really know how you did that, but after you did something crashed the hospital and you flew all the way to a different area.

    "Your family has been looking for you ever since, and now your parents are missing.You fell into your foster moms hands on earth that day. And you've been living there ever since.But now you're back!!

    "And you three could help us stop the new trouble now!!!" he said

    "wait," i said "what new trouble?"

    chapter 5: we learn it all

    "you know how the C.A.O.A are trying to use us for something?" Chris asked

    "yeah," Abner said "your sister told us"

    "well," chris started "they're using us to summon the mythical creatures, Craton,the demon that has been sealed inside the crator of cartopia."

    "what's the other one," asked Neeko "you said creatures with an s, right?"

    "yes," chris continued "the next demon is Dreadon, the demon that was sealed in a small chamber because of haunting peoples dreams. There is also one more demon, the demon who created tidal waves and tsunami's, Tidalin."

    "those names are really ridiculous," i said "but i beleive you, keep going."

    Chris was about to continue,but suddenly there was a fissure outside. "guys!!" Saphire shouted "we have to get out of here!! go out side!!!" As we left the building, we saw something rise up from far away. He was brown, and seemed to have a Crack in his chest and Volcanoes on his shoulders. He was a Giant with Claws too. He looked to be an Gravel-Human Hybrid, smacking away at something we couldn't see.

    "that's one of them!!" yelled Chris "that's Craton!!"

    "but how?" i asked, trying not to make my voice sound weird during the earthquake. "we freed the aura people at the mirage museum."

    "yes,"said Saphire "but there were many other places where other aura people have been trapped and powerless, using their power uncontrollably to--" before she could finish her sentance a gigantic boulder came flying toward me.

    "GET OUT OF THE WAY KENNY!!!" Chris shouted. I thought i had the strength to block the boulder, so i put my hands in fron of me. then i accidently created a magnetic sheild blocking the boulder.

    "GWAAAEEHH!!!" the demon screamed as it was struck with a tazer by one of the C.A.O.A agents.

    The demon swung its large reddish brown tail at the agent. "wait a minute..." said Neeko "thats not a C.A.O.A agent!! thats one of the FBI agents that were chasing us!!!"

    chapter 6: the family that fights together

    We ran as fast as we could to get to the demon just in time for another tremor. He slashed at us, but i put my magnetic feild up around us. "leave them alone!!" i heard a familiar voice say behind us. I turned around to see my twin rush up and attack the Demon with a sphere of water. It fell down a hill in front of us and got back up as quickly as possible. He was wearing a blue coat with waves at the edges. He wore ocean blue gloves that went up to his knuckles and navy blue pants.

    "DIE!!" It shouted

    "he can talk?" Abner asked. The demon swung at my twin, making him fly all the way to our area.

    "good, i don't have to walk." i said

    "-grunt- Kenny?" asked Kent.

    "i think so," I said as the demon started walking toward us "now are you gonna lay there, or are you gonna help me fight this thing?"

    Abner, Neeko, Kent, and I rushed toward the demon as it was about to step on us. I put my magnetic sheild up, preventing Craton from attacking us as the others tried to get up to the demons head and attack it from there. "Gaah!!" I cried "It's breaking it!!!" The sheild started to crack open.

    "LETS GO!!" yelled Kent. They ran on the back of the demon as I held it back. And as the sheild broke, Craton was about to finish me off.

    "not so fast!" I heard someone else say. The demon's foot turned a dark black and was tossed back, uncontrollably.

    "GRAH!!!" it cried out. I turned to see a boy flying in the air with a black aura surrounding him. He had on a white heartbreaker jacket and black faded pants.He had spikey hair that seemed to switch from black to white at first glance. I also noticed that he had on a necklace with a sphere that had some sort of ying yang stone in the middle [crimg]-darkspark:42298281[/crimg] .

    "I told you to wait for me Kent----Kenny?"He flew to us and asked "how'd you get here? where'd you go?" before i could answer, however, the monster blew fire on the 7 of us.

    "tsk, tsk, tsk" i heard a voice say. i looked up, and was amazed at what i saw. A girl in a red jacket with fire logos on it and black and red pants was absorbing the fire. She had her hair in a pony tail and had a streak of red in it. I saw a gleam of light coming from her necklace as it showed off a fire emblem in the center.

    "I leave you guys alone for one minute and you've gotten yourselves in a mess with these 5----Kenny, youre back!!!" She pushed back the fire without any trouble and the monster fell back without a struggle. Kaitlyn (for this was obviously her) ran up to me and gave me a tight hug.

    I managed to get the words "cant....breathe..." out of my mouth.

    "oh, sorry" she said "Im just so happy to see you!!" she started asking me tons of questions, like, "where have you been all this time?" or "how was it like thinking you were a regular person?". Craton rose up and roared, and kaitlyn regained her focus.

    "The head is his weak spot," exclaimed keegan "Attack there!!!" We all attacked (except for chris and saphire, who watched behind a tree) striking it with waves of water, fire balls, black aura spheres, and protecting ourselves with magnetic feilds . He still remained to fight back.

    He swept me up with its hand, saying, "you're the one who protects these 7 other kids!! Prepare for death, child"

    "Wrong choice, Craton." I shouted at him. I turned my body into ions and moved into the creature's body. As soon as I entered, there were about 150 shadows with bulging red eyes, zapping Cratons body with black lightning. they looked at me, sensing something about me.

    "So you're whats making this guy act strange," i said. I zapped them all with a shock wave of electricity, and they all screamed as they vanished.

    "That was fast," i said "Well, time to get out of here" i turned into ions again and made it out of Cratons body as soon as he started to go underground.

    "Wow you're quick," said abner out loud "what'd you do in there?" I explained to them what happened in under 20 seconds.

    "There were Shadows?" asked kaitlyn

    "And they had the power of black lightning?" asked keegan, finishing kaitlyn' sentence.

    "yeah," i said "why is it a problem?"

    Chapter 7: the story of electrogon and the legend of karimaru

    Keegan started to explain. "Shadows with the power to use black lightning is the sign of the legendary Diviner, electrogon" To that, we all said "what?". I could tell by the looks on their faces that Neeko and Abner were suprised. I was as too, because i thought the other Cartopians would've known about this legend.

    "Well, who IS he exactly, mr.smarty?" asked Katlyn to Keegan

    "We should rest up at the house first" He replied to us

    "No, not for me." exclaimed Saphire " I had enough exitement for one day, its time for me and Chris to go to OUR home"

    the 6 of us watched as saphire and chris imediatly turned into aura spheres and dissapeared in the distance. "Guys," said keegan "I beleive we have a place to get to as well"

    He then created a foggy white mist around us, blinding me temporarily in the process. As the fog cleared I realized that we had entered a room with korn and linkin park posters over a plain-white colored wall. "this is our house."said keegan "now lets sit and chat"

    Keegan explained that this was his room and that I have one too, waiting for me. Right after that, we all sat down and he started to create another white mist, but this one didnt blind me. in fact, the mist turned into a vision. i turned to see my siblings next to me. i then faced forward to see a boy in a yellow vest with icons of black lightning all over it. he sat down reading a book with a cat on his shoulder.

    "The boy's name is Gon, and his cat's karimaru" said Keegan, somehow pausing the movie. "gon was a friend of mine when i was 5, and he always read about how to control lightning but it never worked for him. Keep watching" He played the vision again.

    I saw gon flip through pages of tons of books, and sometimes saw karimaru point out some books for him as well. The vision skipped over to another day where gon was walking by his friends house and tripped over a book.

    "What the hell?" he started as he picked it up. it was a book with many rubys in each corner on the front side, and saphires in each corner on the back. There was also an emerald in the center with a lightning bolt in the center. When he got home he showed karimaru.

    "Lets see whats inside, boy" he told him.

    As he opened the book a black mist came and surrounded gon. Karimaru looked in horror as gon became a part of the mist and traveling uncontrollably back into the book. It then closed.

    Karimaru ran up to the book and nudged it open with its nose. A minute passed, then another. Karimaru looked at the page and saw a picture of gon, except gons face had an evil grin and his pupils had gone all red.

    The book started to float in front of karimaru and a black mist shot through him, transforming his cat-like structure into a golden lion with seven tails.

    "what's happened to me?" Karimaru asked himself, apparently gifted the ability to talk. A figure rose from the mist that was steadily dissapearing.

    It was a boy, whose face was completely covered black, its pupils red and its face formed an evil grin. It had a black jacket with pictures of red lightning all over it and red pants cut up at the ends.

    "Hello karimaru" he said

    "Gon?" the lion asked

    "I'm no longer gon, its Electrogon now"

    "What have we become?"

    "We've become exactly what we were trying to control," exclaimed electrogon "and obviously transformed in the process. I am the negative energy, and you are the positive.think of what we can take over!"

    "Take over?" said Karimaru "In the beginning of all of this, it wasn't about taking over anything!"

    "There need to be some new rules around these planets"

    "Cartopia is a free space of planets electrogon, you know this"

    "Whatever Kari" he said "i dont need you" He was just about to walk outside when karimaru stopped him.

    "I cant let you do this, Electrogon." he said.

    Just then, electrogon summoned 20 shadows with red bulging eyes. "Try to stop me" he said, all business.

    10 shadows attacked Karimaru without thinking, and turned to dust as they charged him. He let out a roar of power and a charge blast struck the other 10 shadows from his mouth.

    Electrogon looked in awe, then tried to attack the lion. instead of hurting him, he got stuck in 5 of his tails. the other 2 shocked him and he fell to the floor. "That was just the beginning" said kari, as he was about to perform another charge blast from its mouth.

    Unforunately, electrogon blasted Karimaru into 40 buildings, a radio studio,and a fossil resurectory. just as he was about to crash into a hospital, a little first born baby with a necklace of lightning merged with the creature.

    "NO" electrogon cried. he tried to create a lightning explosion to stop the fusion, but it was too late. It did however blow the baby all the way off the planet.

    The vision then faded away, and we ended up back in keegan's room. "woah," said Abner "all this happened to you, Keith. I dont think i can stay here guys. What will our parents think if we tell them we just fought a ground demon and found out you're from a different planet?"

    "I've thought about that." I said "Which is why you and Neeko have to go back home and tell my foster mom that im safe and that i have to be away for a while."

    "What'll happen when she ask's why?" Neeko asked

    "Just tell her that the FBI chased me because they thought i was magic"

    "I like that." said abner "It's not a lie, but its not the whole truth either"

    "Now i think it's time for you guys to go before your parents find out anything suspicious"said keegan "If your parents suspect anything tell them you were outside."

    He started to create a mist around the two and in a second they dissapeared.

    "wait WHERE'D YOU SEND THEM?" I asked, a little paranoid

    "Relaaax"said keegan"they sent themselves where they wanted to go, which is their houses i beleive. it's getting late, i have to prepare the dinner... oh joy"

    Kaitlyn, Kent, and I went into Kaitlyns room. we sat and talked about Cartopia. "Yeah, cartopia isnt just a planet" said Kent "its a whole bunch of planets, you can fly to different ones by ships or you can teleport there through our many transportation stations."

    "Thats awesome" I said "oh and when did it all come into play?"

    "The person who thought up cartopia is unknown but we know what happened" Kaitlyn said

    "The creator made a planet for all abandoned imaginary friends here, and he declared that if anyone came up with any material cartoonish or other worldly had to be part of Cartopia."

    "Dinner's Ready!!" shouted Keegan in the next room.

    I made my way too the bathroom which was right by my room. I peered in for a second to find posters of lightning all over a yellow wall. "Hey Kenny," I turned around to see a yellow cat with a lightning mark on it's forehead wagging its tail. "can you see me yet?"
