《Jack K》Petal's Origin (part 3)
Advertisement
Jack looks to the right and sees the figure get into a machine, the machine turns on then minutes later Ghost comes out, he stopped glitching.
"D-dad ? Is that you what happened to you ?"Jack slowly approached his father.
Ghost slowly raised his head and smiled weakly,"J-Jack ?"he hugs him really tight, Ghost Is a man in his 40's, he is really tall and has a grey hair, white right eye and black left eye, he did look like he suffered in that place adding some age to his look, he was wearing a black lab coat which still fits him even after years.
"What happened to you ? Why were you glitching ?!"Jack asked getting nervous.
Ghost sat down slowly and explained, "let's say I went through things no one should ever go through...it hurt me badly.. physically, mentally and even my existence, the only thing that kept me sane was the ability to watch you. I was about to visit you as soon as I got out but I only had time to get you to Tom's house...I created this machine in about half an hour and even I am surprised it works...I can't stay Jack..I can barely stay for mere hours before having to go to that machine again...and it's painful not to mention that using my powers decreases the time left. I couldn't stay because I knew I would disappear if I don't recharge in time..I barely sleep, eat or drink... I have one goal...to find a permanent solution but I guess I can slow down a little now you're here".
Jack nodded slowly then asked another question that was worrying him,"hey have you seen petal my flower?"
"Petal ? Any special details ?" Ghost asked.
"He is a flower with a face and can talk...I think it's impossible not to notice him"Jack said grumpily.
" He's over there" Ghost pointed at Petal in his pot put on a table, he was reading something, it didn't look like any human language.
"What's that ?"Jack went over to petal,"hey weed what are you reading ?".
"Hey flame head, I just found out why I can't read English or any human language Ghost and I found out... I was an alien !"Petal grinned.
"Whhhh- this explains a lot, but how can you speak English ? "Jack asked and looked at the paper it really was alien language.
"I think I have some sort of translator I think I was born with it.. not only I understand and speak to humans but sometimes animals.. see this white ring ?"he raised his head showing a white area hidden under his lower petals.
"Again..this explains a lot"Jack sat down near petal.
"So petal have you finished translating the last part?"Ghost asked, he has found the writings on the wall of a cave years ago so he copied the exact symbols and put them aside till he finds a clue or a way to translate.
"Yes... I'm ready to tell the whole story.."Petal took a deep breath and started telling the story.
It was his own origin but it was summarized not mentioning most of the details but a general list of the important events, many times he would stop and just stare at the wall sometimes saying,"I remember this" and other times,"I did that".
Then he got to the third part, once again he zoned out, Jack snapped his fingers,"Petal..I know this is weird for you but can you please continue ?".
Petal stared at Jack surprised.

"What's wrong ?"Jack asked.
Petal teared up his tears were green,"s-sorry It's just the first time you say please to me... I'm not used for proper treatment, I prefer yelling at each other and trading insults" he smiled then started.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Rose went To Cody's grave to water the flowers as usual.
she was good with plants, except for the way there watering the flowers was nothing to her after all flowers don't move..well most of them.
"Where is that golden flower ?! Is everyone golden a pain for me ?!" She huffed and looked for the golden flower, it was the tenth time she came and didn't see the flower in place,"I knew it was a special one but I didn't know it was special enough to move !"she suddenly heard a voice,"or cry ?"she followed the voice and looked at the one crying, she couldn't move an inch feeling shocked of what was in front of her the golden flower she was looking for was right in front of her and it was crying, she slowly approached it and tapped it's head lightly causing the flower to panic and look at her in fear,"who are you ?! Please don't hurt me !"the flower covered his head with his leaf scared.
Rose frowned and kneeled down at the flower and smiled,"it's alright Flower I promise I won't hurt you."she extended her hand slowly towards the flower and gently started caressing his petals gently,"you are a unique flower, your petals are so soft yet they are made of metal, they are made of gold"she smiled seeing the flower staring at her hand not showing any signs of fear.
Rose smiled,"you are so special that you can talk I have never seen a flower that can do that,your face is also cute hehe".
The flower smiled back and let out a sigh seeing how kind Rose is,"you always come here...I watch you from a distance before allowing you to see me..I thought you are one of those hoomans trying to hurt me"he talked freely as if he already knows her.
Rose laughed than frowned slightly hearing the word 'hurt' she looked at him with sad eyes and pet his flower head,"first of all their name is humans, second I don't believe I am or anyone I know is one of them,oh by the way what's your name ? Mine is Rose"
"Umm..I..I don't have a name..that's why I was crying I don't remember who I am...where I am or what I am... I was crying Because I was lost.."
Rose gasped and remembered her brother, once he was lost when he was young and cried Loudly, luckily Rose found him before he got hurt,"how about I name you Cody ?"She smiled,"and if you're lost I can take you home till you remember".
"W-well you do look nice..and the name is great !"Cody (Petal) smiled,"I agree !"
Rose nodded and gently took him out with his dirt and went over to the village.
"Wow ! That place is huge !"Cody smiled staring at the village, Rose was up a hill still carrying Petal in her hands.
"Not the biggest around but it's my home and I like it there"
"Why does it look a little old ?"Petal asked.
Rose smiled and explained,"oh that's because we moved it here because the old area was too small"
"An entire village ?! you are wizards !"Cody looked at the village.
Rose laughed,"I guess we are"

Ten minutes later
"Oh wow a talking flower what a wonderful addition to the family!" Rose's mother smiled.
"You can't be serious !"her husband huffed completely against the idea.
"Why ?"
"Because of course he'll cause troubles ! I have a sixth sense for trouble causers and this is one !"
"He can't be worse than Cody, after all his movement is limited"
"Who's that guy with an ugly mustache ?"Cody asked.
The man suddenly looked really angry,"HEY ! NO ONE INSULTS MY MUSTACHE !"
His wife out a hand on his shoulder and looks at him with caring eyes,"honey..."
"Y-yes love ?"
Her expression changes to cold,"the flower is staying now go to sleep.."
"O-okay.."
Rose chuckled then carried Cody and put him in a pot close to the window,"hehe thanks mom !"
"You're welcome !"she got closer and whispered into Rose's ear with a terrifying voice,"he better not cause a lot of troubles or else-"
"Or else what ? M-mom ?".
"She's not there"Cody mumbled, he was facing Rose seeing what was behind her,"I saw her face....mom is scary..but seriously who was that man with a horrible mustache ?"
"That was my father.."Rose said and moved her head close to Cody and did the same scary Face as her mother did,"you better not insult him again".
"I believe you got your beauty from your mother"Cody smiled nervously.
"Thanks"she walked away smiling.
Cody closed his eyes slowly falling asleep as moonlight beautifully reflected upon his golden petals
And so he became a part of the family.
They felt a hole in their hearts getting filled.
He did cause troubles but he needed to be carried so he was taken away from most problems, before learning he could move underground as long as he can dig through.
One day.
"Humans !"a guard yelled, the people felt scared from having contact with humans since the first and only one that happened a long time ago went catastrophic.
The guards prepared their weapons and spells, the soldiers coming looked at the back for someone to order them, "lower your weapons unfortunately this isn't a fighting mission" a young voice ordered.
"But s-"
"What did I say captain ?! No interrupting me ! What I say will happen and nothing else ! Now let me out !" Then stood out from his carriage a prince.
There were about ten guards with the army leader leading them.
"Let me do the talk"the villages guard captain went ahead and talked with the army leader, they had common understanding, both leaders and both have a great fighting spirit,"they're good ! I'll stay here and see what the people here fight like !"
"Whatever it's not like you make any difference"the prince yelled rudely and got through the city's gate with his guards, he asked for the place of the mayor and went there.
"Oh sorry !"Rose bumped into the prince,"watch were you go fatso !"Petal huffed, he was in Rose's hair.
The prince had his eyes focused on Rose,"it's a-alright"he stood up and went to the mayor's house.
"Listen my father sent me hear on a diplomatic mission. let's get to the point you're in our borders and we want to know everything about you and how were you able to create such a place in weeks."the prince said bored,"that's why my assistant here will take notes.."he yawned.
"W-well of c-course !"the old mayor started talking to the prince feeling worried, the assistant wrote down everything he wrote, some time later he was done.
The prince laughed,"magic ?! Dragon !? Inside a mountain ? you are just craaaazy, you and everyone here, there's no such nonsense as magic".
The mayor looked angry,"nonsense you say ? Well what do you call this ?!" The old man stood up and took a deep breath with some hand motions a fire ball was in his palm, he waited for sometime then shot it, the fireball passed near the prince and destroyed a training dummy.
The prince stood there shocked then shook his head getting an idea,"how dangerous... ha ! If I talk about this a certain way all the army will end up your village like dust, unless..you do as I say"he smirked a greedy look on his face.
The mayor couldn't but nod,"n-name them.."
"First I will have ten of your best wizards come with me I'm supposed to bring someone from this stupid place anyway second-" After naming the condition, the mayor looked shocked for a second but agreed in the end.
"I agree.."they went over to Rose's house for the second option.
"Absolutely no way ! No way !"Rose huffed.
"B-but R-rose" The mayor talked shivering,"he said he'll destroy everything...you know I respect Everyone, all young people..like they are my own kids...that's why I came to ask for your opinion".
Rose sighed,"I..I don't know...it looks like we don't have another Choice"
"We fight.."Cody growled.
"Cody ? Why are you here ? How did you move your pot ?"Rose asked.
"That doesn't matter..if we kill all the humans no one will report back"his simple black eyes turned red.
"N-no way ! They will know we killed them and we will have a war anyway ! All options look horrible ! Whatever that happens I'm not agreeing on anything here !"Rose tried to run away but a guard was standing near the window.
Petal took a deep breath gaining magic from those around him then spit out a golden blast right in the guards face smashing through the guard's helmet making him fall down luckily not dead.
"CODY !"Rose yelled at him.
"What ? I didn't kill him ?"Cody smiled.
"We'll talk about this later.."She groaned then escaped out of the window.
"What do you mean there isn't going to be a wedding ?!you know This means war old man !"The Prince huffed.
"I'm s-sorry, but she did not agree." The mayor said politely.
"No ! You'll be really sorry when your village ends up in ashes !".
The prince went back to his kingdom, he told his father that the people of the village are just savages wanting to kill anyone that's not them,but the soldiers and the prince's assistant said the truth,they were welcomed by the villagers and told them they're like normal humans but with wonderful unique skills and magic.
The king looked at his son," I feel disappointed in you son.. threatening of war for your own selfish causes !"the king spoke and sent a message for the entire army to never obey the prince.
Months later everything was still peaceful,"sigh...you know Cody... I'm actually happy you helped me escape that day..I could've gotten stuck forever with that spoiled brat" Rose said.
Cody smiled,"I saw our guard captain one of them hanging out and laughing and right away I knew that someone will stand up for the truth!".
Rose laughed and hugged Cody's pot,"thank you.."
Cody laughed,"no problem, it's not a thing compared to what you did for me...you gave me an identity..a home you gave me a...a family. " he smiled and wrapped his stem around her as a hug.
Meanwhile in a kingdom not so far away the prince still held grudge against the village, he hired many thugs and bandits then went off, he didn't use the army since they won't obey him, and that he wanted to keep a secret from his father who really took a liking to the village that he visits regularly.
And so they attacked, in the middle of the day they ambushed the village and left it in rubles killing Everyone ... except for a single flower who have seen everything,"Rose ?! Rose wake up !" Cody cried,"they're away now ! Y-you don't need to play dead anymore ! Rose !"a book fell down next to him, a one about plants.
It was open on a page about a tree, a tree capable of taking away other powers no matter what it was in order to increase its strength, Cody Remembered the skill and planned to use it,"I swear...I will kill you ! I will kill your alliances ! I will kill your people! I will destroy your kingdom ! I will erase your race out of existence ! Ahahaha !"
-----------------------------------------------------------
"And then...as years passed the flower forgot Everything...even the name given to him by his sister...he forgot his identity..and only had one purpose..to eliminate the human race, blinded by revenge"Petal put down the paper and then continued, "but now he is thinking... maybe not all humans are selfish monsters ! and now...I Cody...change what I said...I won't erase the human race.. I want to help you..I will help you erase evil ! I want to help make this planet peaceful for the sake of all the good humans out there ! and I shall start by erasing that arena once and for all !"
Ghost and Jack smiled at each other then said,"you're not alone petal, we're with you !".
"Oh and from now on..call me Cody"the flower started glowing brightly.
