War and Famine in the Green [Horsemen]

[Jack Frost]

"Heh, does Ret even know what a car is?" Jack joked. Jack had never thought of Retane as a vehicle type of person because of his ability of flight. If anything Retane was an angry, green Plane; Jack snickered at the thought of this. Krosst began to laugh as well, before Frost could ask why, Inertias replied.

"Assuming it as a mode of transportation, No, Retane does prefer his ability of flight over any other." The Elf warrior responded, "On another note, How is Retane's-" A young voice interrupted the Elf, "I'm doing just fine Thank-ya-very-much, Now lets go Jackie! I wanna ride in the buggy!" Krosst finished. There was a moment of silence as Jack stared at inertias with a knowing glance, "What the hell? So this guy Retane, has more of these little fuckers? And this one can read minds?!" The tatooed Human asked suprisedly.

The white haired adolecent broke his gaze from the elf to the pointy eared Torn, "It seems that Krosst has inherited one of Retane's many abilities." Jack replied to the Commander, "Quick! KROSST WHAT AM I THINKING!" Frost screamed at the young Namek, "UHHHH-UHM-BWAHAHAHAHA" The Namek Bursted with laughter. Jack turned to Inertias and confirmed their thought's, then turned to Torn with Krosst on the ground now still laughing, "Krosst has telepathy, one of Retane's many powers and perhaps even more we dont know about yet." Jack answered the Human.

Torn looked even more confused than before, "What is WRONG with this fucked up world?" Torn's gruff voice commented, "Actually, I believe this "world" is a Dim-" Inertias began, "Ya know what Twinkle-Toes? I don't care. Can we please just go to this HQ already?" Torn asked impatiently. Jack looked at Torn then at the now settled Namek who met his stare then began to laugh yet again, "What's so funny?" The man grumbled, "Oh nothing in particular, I was just thinking that you were a little 'Krosst'." The guardian said with a smile.

The Lythian Elf let out a chuckle at this, "Let us go now Torn. Goodbye Jack, Be safe and mind who you talk to." Inertias began, "And that means you too, Spawn of Retane. Great things are expected of you." The Elf said to the young Namek and with one last nod at Jack, he continued on his way with Torn.

The Winter Spirit looked after the Lythian before looking back at Krosst. The young Namek seems to be growing, he's almost a foot taller. Krosst directed his attention back to Jack after looking the Human and Elf walk off. This kind of thing cannot go unsaid. Jack decided, "Can we go now Jackie? We can get to them in less than half an hour!" Krosst exclaimed. Jack tugged his purple bandanna out of its tied place, resting in the crook of his staff, "I have to buy somthing first, Buddy." Jack began to focus on the purple cloth in his hand.

" 'ello Stranga', What can I do ya' fer?" The merchant asked with a breeze of cold air, "Hello Mr. Merchant, Can i buy a...Oh, I don't know. Communicator?" Jack said with a wink at Krosst. "Here ya' go mista." The merchant handed him a Small chip similar to the one Krosst recieved and pressed it to his left arm as well. When Frost looked back up the man was gone, "Don't ever talk to him, Krosst. I think he is a Serial Killer." Jack told the Namek with a slightly stern face, "Trust me. I won't" Krosst replied, seemingly petrified. The two maintained eye contact for a moment and then suddenly began to laugh. "Let's get outta here Bud." Jack said after the laughter subsided, "Finally! This way!" Jack smiled at the now running Namek and began to run after him.

Krosst was fast. As fast as Jack to be exact. They had made it a race to get to the so called river that Retane and friends were at the moment. Jack ran through the trees jumping and swinging branch to branch, staff in hand while Krosst had taken to running on the ground below. I wonder what you think of frost? Jack thought in his head. He noticed a glance of questioning from the Namek below, exactly what the icer was hoping for.

Jack hooked his staff on a branch above and used his momentum to swing himself a good Ten feet in front of Krosst and landed on the ground with a light landing. Jack saw a look of triumpht on Krosst's face as he darted past Frost, his miniature staff in tow. Don't fall. Krosst looked back to see Jack simply tap the dark, rooted soil with the end of his hooked staff.

Krosst slid to a stop resting on his chest a few feet away while Jack burst into laughter leaning on his staff, "I told you not to fall." Jack mustered through his laughter, "You tripped right up too, You 'Krosst' your legs it seemed." Jack laughed even more. "Ahhhhh, that was f-"

Jack could no longer reply because he was now sitting on his rear-end on ice, that would be cold to the normal person. Jack was no longer laughing, "Did you just-" Jack was cutoff yet again, "Yes, I did, I used your OWN power against you. AND YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN YOUR FACE!" The Namek burst into laughter for what seemed the thousanth time today, Jack was awed. He had never met anyone who could use manipulate another's powers. Retane had to see this. "You mimiced my Slip 'N Slide. That's why the Snowflake appeared on the shell. You mimiced my symbol." Jack told the now silent Krosst. "Did you know you could do it?" Jack asked him, "Well I Just saw you do it and i kinda hit the ground with my sti-" The guardian interrupted the Namekian, "If you are refering to my staff as a 'stick' as well, I suggest you change your thinking." Jack responded as calmly as he could. "Fine, staff then, i just hit the ground and poof, you were sitting on ice. Cool trick huh?"

"Yeah, REALLY cool." We gotta tell Retane. Jack said and helped the Namek up. "Let's go."

All that the pair left was a small puddle of water.
