Hystalin goes to the market in Thundera City. Along with her normal shopping, she buys herself a home pregnancy test. After paying for her groceries, she puts all of her stuff in the trunk and drives the ThunderTank all the way to the New Cat's Lair. She goes home, puts the groceries in storage and goes to the bathroom to use her home pregnancy test. (It was one of those that gives results instantly. If it's red, it's positive. If it's blue, it's negative.) She uses it, and to her surprise, the results are positive.
She runs out of the bathroom screaming. She runs into her husband, Lion-O and tells her the news...
Hystalin: "Lion-O, my darling..."
Lion-O: "What is it Hyst?"
Hystalin: "I... I think I'm
pregnant... again."
Lion-O: "Really? How
could it be?"
Hystalin: "I bought a home
pregnancy test today, and the test came positive!"
Lion-O: "We should tell Pumyra.
She's a nurse, and can tell if it's true or not."
Fortunately, Pumyra came visiting
from Third Earth, to check on Nocti & Hypnos. Lion-O & Hystalin
asked Pumyra to do a check-up on Hystalin, and agreed. Pumyra asked
Hystalin to sit down and she did the usual tests for women who could be
pregnant. After the test were finished, it was infact true that Hystalin
was pregnant, but that's not all! Hystalin was going to
give birth to twins!
Hystalin: "Twins? I'm
pregnant with Twins?"
Pumyra: "It's true.
I did all the tests and there are more than one fetus in the womb."
Hystalin: "Is this common?"
Pumyra: "It's somewhat rare
to give birth to two babies at the same time."
Hystalin was really shocked that it was indeed true that she was pregnant with twins.
Later than day, Lion-O & Hystalin was having a talk with their daughters, Nocti & Hypnos.
Lion-O: "Nocti? Hypnos?"
Hystalin: "We need to talk."
Nocti: "Yes, Papa?"
Hypnos: "What is it Mama?"
Lion-O: "We have some good
news to tell you."
Nocti: "What is it?"
Hystalin: "Well... your mother
is going to have twins."
Nocti: "You mean..."
Lion-O: "It means you'll be
having two baby brothers and/or sisters."
Hystalin: "Isn't that nice?"
Nocti & Hypnos were a bit apprehensive with what is in store for them.
Next week, in nighttime, there was a small earthquake. No one felt it, but it made a crack in the ground. From that crack, there was a mist that bellowed out into the air. This then took form of a man.
???: "Ahh... I'm free. It could only mean the Ying-Yang twins have been conceived. I must wait for the birth, then I will make my move."
Also, back on New Angelus, Katmandu was meditating in his home. In his visions, he sees an image of a baby stolen at birth.
Katmandu: "So.. he has come."
Katmandu prepared a shuttle for him to ride him, so he can quickly and silently go to New Thundera.
Katmandu: "I must go before it's too late."
Nine months has passed. Ultimately, it was time for Hystalin to give birth. After about 18 hours of labor, which seems to be an eternity, they were both born. The first baby was born, but had to stay in water for the first few hours of her life. (Yes, another girl.) The second baby was immediately born, however, someone phased in, snatched the baby and left. Everyone was totally shocked.
Hystalin: "NOOOOOO!!!!
MY BABY!!!!!!"
Lion-O: "Who was that?"
A few minutes later, Katmandu came to New Thundera on his home built space shuttle.
Katmandu: "Open up! Open up! Please let me in!"
Panthro came to the door.
Panthro: "Who are you?"
Katmandu: "I am Katmandu,
Hystalin's grandfather. Is she here?"
Panthro: "She's in the infirmary..."
Katmandu: "Oh good.."
Katmandu raced passed Panthro and made his way through the New Cat's Lair to find his granddaughter. After a few moments, Katmandu found his way to the infirmary and found his granddaughter & her grandson-in-law crying.
Hystalin: "My baby! MY
BABY!!!!"
Katmandu: "Hystalin, what
happened?"
Hystalin: "Oh grandpa, someone
came and stole my baby!!!"
Katmandu: "What???"
Lion-O: "He came as soon as
the second baby was born!"
Katmandu: "I see, so he's
returned."
Lion-O: "What are you talking
about?"
Katmandu: "Hyst, Lion-O, it
was a long story."
Katmandu: "It happened about
50 years ago, back on what was Thundera. I was born in Thundera."
Hystalin: "You were born in
New Thundera?"
Katmandu: "Why do you think
have stripes on my long mane and whiskers?"
Hystalin: "Oh.. sorry.
Please continue..."
I came home from work and found my wife, your grandmother murdered. She had a big knife in her chest. I looked at the knife and it had a diamond-encrusted handle. I knew it was my old enemy, The Jewel Master. I searched all through Thundera the monster, at last I found him. We were locked in combat. When the time is right, I attack. With a magic amulet that was given to me by a shaman, I confined The Jewel Master within the crust of Thundera. However, the spell would work until the so-called 'Ying-Yang Twins' are born, the spell would wear off.
Lion-O: "Our new twins are
the 'Ying-Yang Twins'?"
Katmandu: "Apparently so.
He's come back to terrorize our family."
Hystalin: "How is he going
to do that?"
Katmandu: "He is going to
turn one the twins into an enemy to us. With that he'll have the
advantage over us."
Lion-O: "How can we stop that?"
Katmandu: "It may be too late
for the child, but we must go after The Jewel Master!"
Hystalin: "Grandpa, where
could be be?"
Lion-O: "As far as I know,
he'll be in a spot on this planet where there are the most diamonds."
The only place that Katmandu could be talking about could be the Crystal Caverns, and as luck would have it, there was where The Jewel Master was, with the baby.
Jewel Master: "Don't cry little
baby. I'll take care of you."
Baby: "WAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"
Jewel Master: "I swear, your
crying could reach to the heavens. That gives me an idea for your
name... Acrapha, Angeleese for 'heaven'. What do you think little
Acrapha?"
Hystalin: "GIVE ME BACK MY
BABY!!!!"
Jewel Master turned around and found Lion-O, Hystalin & Katmandu in front of him and baby Acrapha.
Jewel Master: "This is my revenge
Katmandu! I may never beat you, but I will haunt your descendants
forevermore!"
Hystalin: "I'm only going
to say this one more time... Give me back my baby, or I'll kick your ass
so hard, that you'll need a shoehorn to get my boot out of your ass!!!"
Jewel Master: "Listen you
little black prostitute, it's not you that I'm after, I'm after the old
fart!"
The Jewel Master used his crystal magic to encase Lion-O & Hystalin in crystal. Katmandu was so enraged by the act, he threw a strong bolt of thunder at The Jewel Master that was unfortunately reflected easily from his Magic Diamond Shield. Jewel Master threw at attack spell the left Katmandu reeling from the blow.
Jewel Master: "You think you
can defeat me? HA! I'm not amused."
Katmandu: "I don't care what
you do to me, but when you messed with my family, you've went beyond the
line!"
Jewel Master: "You're such
an old fool! I'll make sure you'll never seen baby Acrapha again!"
Katmandu: "So, you've named
the child! You'd really done it now!"
Lion-O & Hystalin were looking
at Katmandu as he prepares the spell of his life. She thought to
herself, "Uh oh, it's the Kamikaze spell! He's going to kill himself
if he doesn't stop!" She tried to scream through the crystal, but
it fell on deaf ears. Katmandu finished the "Kamikaze" spell, and
made himself spontaneously combust. The spell sent Lion-0 & Hystalin
out of the Crystal Caverns, sent baby Acrapha in a negative void &
instantly killed Katmandu & slowly killed The Jewel Master. The
blow opened the
crystal that held Lion-0 & Hystalin.
Hystalin: "She's gone!
My baby is gone!"
Lion-O: "It ok Hyst.
It's ok..."
Just then, Katmandu appeared to the couple in ethereal form, like a ghost.
Katmandu: "Don't grieve for
me Hystalin. I was on borrowed time. I've finally fulfilled
the one thing that I've tried to do in my life.
I've had my vengeance. As
for baby Acrapha, she's being cared to in the Negative Void. Unfortunately,
the Negative Void will not open until 14 years from now, but she will be
safe. I will protect her during that time. Fear not.
I will take care of her. In the meantime, you have three daughters
and a planet to take care of. Good-bye Lion-0 & Hystalin.
Good-bye."
Katmandu vanished from New Thundera. Hystalin were in total sadness, but now she's somewhat at ease that her child will not be alone in the Negative Void.
Lion-O & Hystalin went back to the New Cat's Lair and tended to their baby, which they named Waterturkey, after the Angeleese bird of water. They took care of their children, but the never stopped thinking about baby Acrapha.
Fourteen years has passed since the event. Nocti is now 20, Hypnos is now 19, Waterturkey is now 15. Hystalin also have two more daughters, 14-year-old Ornitha & 13-year-old Arakni. Ailura also gave birth to a son, whom she named him Brainchild. Krysa got married to Tygra. Hystalin took her daughters to the remains of the Crystal Caverns and told them all the story about their lost sister, Acrapha, who would be 14 that day. When they arrived, and waited for a signal from Katmandu's spirit. Just then, a dark portal opens. It was their entry through the Negative Void. Hystalin told her children to stay put as she goes in.
While Hystalin was in the Negative Void, searching frantically for what could be her long-lost daughter Acrapha. While she was searching, she was attacked by a chimera. No matter how many defense spells Hystalin put up, they were all useless in the Negative Void. Just then, a girl flew down and attacked the chimera with a pair of mithril swords. The girl easily subdued the beast.
Girl: "That takes care of that
beast. Are you okay miss?"
Hystalin: "I'm fine, thank
you."
Girl: "So what are you doing
in the Negative Void?"
Hystalin: "I'm looking for
a girl. I lost her in the Negative Void years ago. My grandfather
fought against a powerful adversary and it left my baby in the Negative
Void."
Girl: "What is his name?
Perhaps, I've might've heard of him."
Hystalin: "His name was Katmandu."
Girl: "Katmandu? Are
you sure?"
Hystalin: "Yes."
Girl: "I've been told that
a man named Katmandu did such and was unable to wrest me from the Negative
Void."
Hystalin: "What is your name?"
Girl: "I believe my name is
Acrapha. At least, that is what I've been told."
Hystalin: "Oh my.. I've truly
have been blessed."
Acrapha: "What is it?"
Hystalin: "Hystalin, you might
not believe this but, I'm your mother."
Acrapha was shocked.
Acrapha: "You are?"
Hystalin: "Yes."
Acrapha: "I have a mother!
Do I have a father too?"
Hystalin: "Yes you do, and
he's the lord of New Thundera. The planet that you were born in."
Acrapha: "Amazing!"
Hystalin: "This may be too
much to ask you, but would you like to live with us, and to live with your
new family?"
Acrapha: "It beats being alone
in the Negative Void. Sure, let's go...
Mom."
Hystalin hugged Acrapha as she cries
with tears of joy. Both Hystalin & Acrapha got out of the portal
and left the Negative Void, never to return to the dark place ever again.
They were welcomed by Nocti, Hypnos, Waterturkey, Ornitha & Arakni.
Soon, everyone returned home to the New Cat's Lair, now that the Royal
Family of New Thundera is now once again complete.
