Chapter 1
Father Time's Mission
The couple walked into Pocket D. One of the two wore a black scarf with pink strips, pink ear muffs, black and pink boots, and the same colored gloves. The other figure wore a dark hood over his face, ear muffs, a black and red suit, and a scarf. The woman's hair dropped into her eyes as they walked through the blue hall way. No one could see if the man's hair was in his eyes, his hood was too dark and too low. The woman with him smiled as someone greeted them,"Welcome to Pocket D."
They passed the bar. "Hello,Pure, Angel,"the man behind the counter told them. "Want a drink?"he asked them. Angel turned around,"No thanks,Paul, we're good for now." The bar tender nodded,"Have fun, and stay warm,"he told them both. Pure turned and smiled at him. "We will,Paul." Angel and Pure looked up at a ledge, up there was their destination. Pure's eyes turned black and he was lifted off the ground, his scarf blow as he flew up to the ledge. Angel too had her way up, she shut her eyes and her knees down turned a light purple color. She opened her eyes and jumped, she was using her move she called "Super Jump." Angel landed next to Pure, who's eyes where their normal brown color. In front of the super couple was a wooden door, around it was snow. "Ladies first,"Pure told her as he opened the to revel a snowy winter wonderland.
She stepped through the door to see snowy mountains everywhere, on top of the lowest mountain was a wooden ranch, there was a fire burning in it's fire place. Pure shut the door as he followed her through. Angel turned and rapped her arms around his neck, she kissed him. They broke apart and she smiled at him,"Oh, Aaron, it looks beautiful!" Pure, smiled back at her blue eyes,"Not nearly as pretty as you,"he told her and kissed her on the check. She blushed slightly. "Well, let's go,"she said loudly and jumped off, a purple trail following her in the air. Angel landed in front of the ranch, she looked back to see Aaron/Pure flying after her.
"I let you win,"he told her jokingly. She laughed a little. "Yeah, you probably did." The purple smoke around Angel's feet wor off as she walked up the steps leading to the main room, Aaron followed. Their was other heroes all around them skiing. "Welcome to my winter wonderland,"a older looking man said to them. "And you are?..."Pure asked him. "Time, Father Time,"he said to them. "Oh, I've heard of you,"Angel exclaimed. Father Time looked the two from head to toe twice and then spoke,"Yes, I have heard of you two as well. Pure-Darkness and his super chick Rock-Angel." Angel's eyes widened. "Not super chick, I'm his faoncay,"she told Father Time a little angry.
They could tell by looking at Father Time that he was trying not to laugh, but then he got very serious. "I have been waiting for you two to get here, we need your help to save New Year,"he told them. "New Year?"Pure and Angel asked him together. Time nodded,"My son, Baby New Year. He has been kidnapted by the evil snow people here." Angel got a shocked look on her face, she could not tell if Pure had or not. "Snow people? I thought we were the first living things ever to be here,"Pure asked him. Time nodded once more,"We thought so too, until my son was stolen last night. We think they are keeping him in that cave over there,"he said as he pointed to a cave entrance. "And you don't save him why?"Angel asked him. "I would, but it will be more than just two snow people...we think it will be hundreds,"he said sadly. "Even you two, two of the best super heros, will need more help,"Time continued.
"No...we came here to have fun...not do another mission...why do you think we came here,"Angel told Time. Pure looked at her. "One second,"he told the old man and grabbed Angel be the arm and pulled her over to the fire place. "Rock, think about it. We could go up in history if we save Baby New Year,"he told her. "No, Aaron, we came here to have fun, not fight more villains,"Angel told him fericly now. Pure's face got very blank. "Just think about it,"he said. Pure walked to Time again leaving Angel behind. "So, tell me more about this mission,"Angel heard Pure ask Time. Angel walked out of the ranch and down the mountain. Her feet turned the same purple color and she jumped to a mountain about a mile away.
