Ivan shook his head in disagreement to Clate's proposal.
"Uh uh!" He pouted. "I have a even better story!" He motioned for everybody to come closer. The way he did it one would think he was about to tell a scary story."
"What about to tell you is the time I went to my first Earth prom!"
"You were in school?" Kauis asked.
"For a short period of time, but I was kicked out due to "destructive behavior".
Ivan proceed to tell his tale. Occasional outburst of laughter from him and his peers.
"Wow, I can't believe you did that!"
"The best part of that story was when he wrapped the chaperones in tape, despite being a complete moron, that was good even for you."
Ivan cackled merrily with his aquos bakugan. Both Gaia and Jasper sighed.
"He's hopeless."
"Idiot."
The story was basically a montage of jokes Ivan and his earth friends pulled on fellow students and teachers. They set booby traps, some leaving the victims drenched in water. They taped almost every teacher. Ivan finished his story and turned to Alice. He wiped a tear from his cheek- with a chuckle he turned to Alice and said- "Okay, your turn."

Alice stares at Ivan fiercely. "Manner lessons for sure." Then her eyes look away as she begins to think. "Okay how about The Brother and The Sister."
"The Brother and The sister?" Oberon says confused. "I never heard of that one."
"Well Grimm made the story. Back when we were kids I was a easily scared. So to counter that he would tell me this story. So how about I start now." She takes a deep breath.
(this is the story)
The scene is in a forest of tall trees. There is a house, with a river nearby the house.
There are two siblings. A boy, and a girl. They are brother and a sister. These two care about each other very much. The brother is older and the sister is younger. He protected her, and in turn she help him with areas he lacked. She did the chores, cooked the food and washed the clothes. The brother often hunted. Bringing back a single kill everyday. They would often get bored or unable to go out. So they played games. They both loved games. But today was different. The brother came home without a kill. No this has happened before, but the brother looked hurt.
"Brother!" She cried. "What happened to you? You look like you got attack by a bear."
"Sister. Be careful. I was not attacked by no bear. I was attacked by a person. He held fire in the palm of his hand, and started it with snap of his fingers. He challenged me a duel, and I foolishly accepted." He told her.
Later the two got ready to flee. But the stranger came by.
"So the boy has a sister. No matter I will get rid of both and her and now." Like the brother had said he created fire with the snap of his fingers. And prepared to burn them alive. But the brother would not let that happen.
"Go!" he says, as he pushed her into the river. "Swim get away! Far away! Don't worry, I will always be with you!" The next thing that could be heard from him was his cries of pain as he gets burned alive.
"BROTHER!" She calls out as the river takes her away.
Three days later the sister returns. Her home burned down. Her brother nothing but ashes long scattered by now. She is alone. "Brother." She cries. "Bother why? Why did you leave me? Why did you have to die?" She mourns her lost brother, but a twig snaps. The man that burned her brother to cinders was there.
"Little girl you don't have to worry any longer. Your are next." He brings for fire only for it to be stolen. The fire hangs around the sister.
"You have taken my home, and my brother. So I will take your fire." She tells him. Not even looking him once in the eye. Then the fire grows. "If you like fire so much. Then see how you like. After you burn." She then immolates the man. He cries out in pain an forgiveness. But she has none. He is soon gone. With the flick of her wrist she grows a tree on the foundation that once held a house. And with the flick of another she moved stone and earth to build a grave for her lost brother.
"My brother may be lost but I will not be. So you shall never be forgotten, my children and their children will hold your name. Forever more will your name be passed down. For now my name is Hallow. Like your grave will be too. Protect me my brother, and my decedents."
"And thus the first Hallow began the legacy. A legacy that holds forever true." Alice finishes her story. It is a sad tale. But one that explains the two known Hallow's very well.
"I kinda wish I never heard that story. But in the end I liked it." Oberon goes.
"Yes. It was a wonderful yet tragic tale." Titania comments.
"Thanks you guys. Atom. Ivan what did you think." Alice ask.

"How many times do I have to say I'm not Atom?" Asked Clate. "But, yeah. That story was pretty good. The last part reminds me of how Atom beat Destruction the first time, by turning his power against him. That's the kind of story that never gets old for me." Clate looked into the fire, then stood up. "I need to go walk for a bit. As a tldr, by walking I make heat which is entropy, which is a form of chaos energy. I can't get to full power through this method, but I can at least keep myself around for another hour or two. I'll be back in a bit." Clate walked off into the woods, leaving Reginas behind to keep with the group, and as a beacon to find his way back.
"So, anybody else have a story like that?" Asked Reginas. He thought for a moment. "Actually, now that I think about it, that stranger who created fire kinda sounds like you, Ivan. It makes you think, huh?"
Clate focused on his surroundings, making sure to avoid anything that would stop him from moving. "Alice's story was pretty good, but I can't help but feel like our adventures were all connected. That stranger in the story sounded like Ivan, the climax was nearly identical to how Atom beat Destruction, it can't just be coincidence."
"And if it's not?" Clate looked around.
"Who's there?" Clate heard laughter.
"Atom may have bested his darkness, but you still have me to deal with." Clate stopped moving.
"No, that's impossible! I beat you using light in my trial! You vanished!"
"My power was gone, yes, but I still remain. Your darker half, your true half! He does not need to make a clone of you like he did Atom. As soon as he knows I remain, he will free me from you and I will take you down. For good. No more Clate, no more Negative Gene for Atom, no more Creation, no more hurdles. We both know you're the linchpin for Atom's bracelets and powers. Without you, he's not even worthy to fight the lowest of Negative Shifters. I know it, you know it, and soon, everybody will know it! It's just a matter of time, Clate." Clate felt a sudden rush of energy, and attempted to force it back down. Unfortunately, it was unbeatable and continued rising. Soon, it was radiating out from Clate, serving as a beacon of darkness. "It's only a matter of time. This energy is dual pronged. One, it serves as a beacon with which your enemies can track you, and two, it prevents you from returning to someone's mind. I will win this battle, not you!" The energy continued surging from Clate, radiating out strongly enough to send messages outside of the Reality. However, Clate struggled against it.
"I, am, not, you!" He struggled to say. The energy slowly receded, only to resurge again. Clate continued to force it down, slowly winning the battle. "I, will, not, fall again!" Clate's hands glowed black, and a massive outpouring of excess energy shot out of them, blasting through a dozen trees before Clate was able to get a hold of it again.
"We shall see." Clate felt the presence vanish, along with most of the excess energy. However, there was still a small trickle of power keeping Clate from going back to someone's mind. He knew it was bad.
"I can't believe that he's still around. After all this time, I thought I had gotten rid of him. But, I guess I was wrong. Atom has defeated his darkness, but mine remains. Now I just have one question I need to answer for myself. What should I tell the others? I'm fairly sure Ivan doesn't have energy sensing capabilities, but Alice might. What do I tell them?" Clate began to walk back slowly to think. Within the deepest reaches of his mind, the presence remained.
"You were a fool to think you could leave Him, Clate. Once a Negative Shifter, always a Negative Shifter. No amount of light can save you now! My message didn't get to Him this time, but I assure you, it will in the near future." The presence laughed. "Clate mentioned the story earlier. I'm surprised the others didn't question it. I suppose they won't question something that they don't understand. In any case, only a handful know my name, and with our writer jotting all this down, I suppose I'll need a new one. Instead of waiting for him to come up with a name for me, I'll take matters into my own hand. I cannot leave my enemies without something to call me as they beg for mercy! I think I'll take Dark Atom's example. When I am freed from Clate, I will be known as Dark Clate! And once I've returned to Destruction, Clate will never hold me back again!" Dark Clate laughed again, and began preparations for his next assault on Clate.
Reginas looked around as a dark energy flashed over him. "Hey, uh, did you guys feel that? I just want to make sure I'm not paranoid, is all. It felt like darkness just exploded somewhere." Reginas focused on the fire again. "Maybe I'm just imagining things. After all, we're alone out here, aside from the wildlife, right?"

Ivan ignored Regina's second question. He reached for the items needed to make a quick S'more and ate it merrily.
Smack! Smack! "Great story Alice, really!" He said his mouth full bits and pieces of his food flying out. Alice would probably be annoyed by this due to her demands for better manners.
"SORRY!" Ivan exclaimed.
About an hour later the flame had been reduced greatly. The group shared a few more stories, along with some laughs. Almost everything had been ate, thanks to Ivan.
"Boy am I stuffed!" Ivan sighed. He rubbed his belly, which was noticeably bloated. Everybody seemed to be growing tired each of them giving off occasionally yawns. Clate had rejoined the group and more than likely would be silent for the rest of the night. A couple minutes later and Ivan and Kauis were out. Both passed flat out bellies full snoring loudly. Alice and the others would likely leave quietly allowing Ivan to rest. Narrator: As our heroes enjoy what little peace they have, unknown to them was a dark alliance brewing. Today there was peace. Tomorrow nothing, but trouble. Will the heroes be able to withstand whatever the dark forces throw at them? More importantly, just how long will Atom's recovery take? Find out on the next episode. *Inserts theme*
