Ch 77:- Breaking out Peter

After twenty minutes of meditating and processing the information about the future that he was able to know thanks to Cia, he was able to notice a few things which he wasn't able to discern at first. When hearing about it, now that he thinks about it, there was a lot of missing information, a lot of which Cia experienced through her cryptic symbolic visions. The most confusing of them all is the absence of him, which led him to believe that the vision Cia experienced may as well be the vision of an alternative universe where she died.

However, there were some events which Cia witnessed as clear as day and were not too cryptic. If he were to recount them, they were as follows: firstly, school goes on as normal with Quinn soon taking some action and him wiping away Cia's memory before turning Layla. Soon followed by Cia, who was turned on the vampire planet when they went there during the school break to rescue both Fex and Peter. They spend some time there; Quinn reclaims his throne which, on knowing about it, shocked Rayne to know that Quinn was an Eno. This also means that he is an Eno, which would also explain how he awakened as a vampire. After that, some good and bad things happened, like Paul, one of the military commanders, got kidnapped and so did his acquaintance by the vampire. But Quinn was able to save them by turning them. Erin and Leo had appeared during the freedom battle, although it didn't mean much. When he heard that Quinn turned Erin, who later turned out to be damphire, he didn't know they existed. Apparently, they are considered a kill-on-sight kind of thing. Really troublesome. After which, Cia was also turned, but she became a banshee, and from Cia's description, it was obvious that Vision Cia also had some sort of future sight ability. This leads me to believe that it was one of the reasons that she was able to watch it. After that, the world will soon be going haywire, in other words, according to Cia's vision, Jack Truedream died. But Rayne doesn't think so because his body was not found, which probably means he is alive and hiding. Quinn becomes a world leader and whatnot, in other words, a whole lot of things happened.

"Clairvoyance is really a good power; only if I could have it," Rayne thought as he sighed dejectedly.

After some planning, he now has a perfect game plan that would not only ensure his personal growth but also that of Cia and Erin and any future companion that he may recruit. Now that he thinks about it, it would be a good idea to try to befriend Arthur and maybe gain some good fighting knowledge. Maybe even try to learn this Shadow ability which Quinn also possesses. But he has his doubts about it; it's for future Rayne to worry. Now all he needs to do is ensure that Peter gets kidnapped, and then everything will fall perfectly into place. After Peter gets kidnapped, he would be able to proceed with his plan.

"Hmm, really, I am a genius," Rayne thought. At that moment, a notification came to his watch, showing that the rest of the group was having a meeting at some cafe. After checking the time, he got ready and excited the room before making his way towards the cafe.

He was the last one to enter the cafe, and when looking at the table, he saw that Fex still hadn't come. Seeing this, he immediately knew who was involved in the kidnapping.

"But how did he do it? Guess I will need to watch it with my own eyes," Rayne thought.

Time like that went on, with the others discussing and him interjecting when necessary as he sipped on hot tea. Eventually, after a few hours at around seven pm, Fex had arrived at the small little coffee shop where the others were sitting outside.

"Hey, is everything okay with you?" Quinn asked, seeing the mess that Fex's hair was in. He had been acting strange all day, and now his appearance on top of this. Something must have been wrong, and now with the event over, he could ask.

With an awkward smile, Fex approached Quinn and started to whisper in his ear.

"Do you mind if just you and I can talk in private for a second? I have something important I want to talk to you about," Fex whispered.

Hearing this, Quinn nodded, and the two boys left the group at the table and walked off slightly to the side. There was no one around them to listen in on their conversation, and they could now talk freely.

"So what did you do with Cia?" Vorden asked, having heard the truth from Layla about how she was a pure agent.

"Nothing, I just edited her memory and made her loyal to me so that she will consider me her master, you know, like in those vampire novels where there are slaves, something like that," Rayne easily lied through his teeth.

"Hmm," hearing it, Vorden nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing Quinn walk off like that, the others who were at the coffee table were wondering just what was going on. But Rayne knew what happened because he fully heard their whole conversation, and to be honest, it was quite a dramatic one.

Soon, they saw Fex walking towards them. He didn't have a face of joy or laughter like he did when talking to Quinn. This was the face of business. With his two hands, he swept back his hair and sat down in one of the seats that were placed around the table, and the aura that was coming off him was suffocating. But Rayne's aura immediately dispersed Fex's, reminding them that they still have one of the strongest vampires of their team sitting.

"Now that Quinn is gone, I have something important to say to you all. I usually joke around, but this time I'm serious. You may have many questions, but I urge you all to listen and hear me out to the end." Fex paused for a moment to see if any of them wanted to say something, but they all understood it was an important matter and knew to listen carefully.

"Good. The vampires have discovered me, and they know about Peter. They don't know about Quinn yet, but it's only a matter of time. I want to first say this is my fault. They only came because of me, but after finding out about Peter, they can't let him live.

"To explain quickly, he is something called an illegal. Vampires do not have permission to create others without notifying their leader. Since Quinn created Peter without a leader's permission, Peter is considered an illegal. Usually, when we discover an illegal, they are executed on the spot, as for the one who created him. They are taken back to the vampire council to be judged for their crime.

"Now, I have no intention of turning Quinn into them. Ever since I got here, he has done so much for me. But they won't leave until I give them the Vampire that turned Quinn. With that, I have a plan. Luckily, Peter knows the transformation skill. If we give him disguised as Quinn, that should be able to satisfy them. I will report back, saying I have killed the illegal while also giving them a fake Quinn.

"Here is where I need your help. There are a few problems with this. Everything needs to be done today. I have told them I would deal with everything. I will be going to break out Peter, and for that, I think Logan, you will be the best to..." But Fex was interrupted midway as Rayne spoke.

"You don't need to speak anymore; just call Quinn to a secluded area. I will extract his blood, and then you can give it to Peter. Story closed, no need for more discussion."

Both Logan and Vorden looked at him and said, "You knew?"

"Maybe, maybe not. Who knows if I knew," Rayne spoke casually.

"I guess we have no choice; we have to do this," Vorden said. "But I have one question. Surely, sooner or later, they will find out that Peter is not the person they are looking for. What happens then? Will they come to look for Quinn again, and what will happen to you once they found out you tricked them?"

The serious face on Fex had changed to a quite sad-looking one after hearing this question. It was almost as if he had prepared himself for something. "The vampires are careful ones. It will be a while before they send someone after Quinn. At least this will give him more time. Quinn is special; even though I know that, he gets stronger by the day. As for your second question, that is not for you to worry about and for me to deal with."

With everything said and done and no time to waste, the group split up and proceeded with the plan.

With Fex going along with Logan to his room to gather some equipment and gadgets to rescue Peter and Vorden went away to gather some power from the world leader to act as a backup if Rayne needed it. Layla went back to her room to prepare for the final act.

Meanwhile, with Logan and Fex, standing inside the small room looking at Peter directly in front of them. Fex couldn't believe it. They had successfully and quickly managed to make their way to Peter's room with no trouble at all. This type of thing could have only been done with extensive research, and Fex looked at Logan in even more amazement now.

For Logan, his plan turned out better than he thought. Everything was easier than it would have been anywhere else, and the reason was that the military had kept to the same routine down to the last second. There were a few variables that Logan had planned out for but expected that he might not have needed them. When walking through certain hallways and rooms, everything had turned out as he had expected.

Still, he had kept his spiders out to watch just in case. If they had made any changes to their routine, the spiders would have been able to see and inform him beforehand... There was only one tricky part of the whole operation, and that was due to the room Peter was in.

To keep an eye on Peter, he had been placed in a separate section compared to everyone else. A room made just for him that was void of contact with the outside.

On top of this, two guards were stationed by the door. This was better for both Fex and Logan.

The military had expected an attack from the outside. The easiest time to attack would be during the event when the soldiers were busy and spread thin. If they caused a panic, they would be too busy dealing with the public to handle the attack. They were confident in their measures and never expected someone from the inside to do anything.

Their main concern was with outsiders or the students seeing them, so this was better for them altogether. The two guards who were stationed at the front door were where Fex would come into play. The two of them stood just around the corner from Peter's room silently as they waited for the answer from above.

As soon as Rayne had successfully knocked out Quinn, they would act. They needed to wait because the only thing they could do at this point was to knock out the two guards in front of them and take Peter away. Logan had timed everything, so the shift change had just happened.

No one would find their beaten bodies for another hour. Which meant they needed to take Peter to Silver within the time frame.

Then a message had been received from above.

"He did it, and a lot quicker than I thought," Logan said, surprised.

From around the corner of the corridor, two spiders were released once again. They scaled up the wall and went above on the ceiling. They walked until they were just above the two soldiers' heads.

"You ready?" Logan asked as he could see Fex was fiddling with a string in his hand. This string was different from the usual type he would use. When Fex used his abilities before, it would always be nearly invisible to the eye, but this string was dyed red like blood.

The ability had been infused with his vampire blood abilities to make it several times stronger. The only problem was it took some preparation time to use.

This was why he was unable to use it against the king tier beast before; at the same time, he had already deemed it would be useless, for the king tier beast was far too strong. Still, for situations like this, it was perfect.

When Fex was finally ready, he gave the nod, and at the same time, the spiders fell down, hovering above the necks of the guards. Both of them felt something ticklish on their neck. One soldier tried slapping it, while another turned around trying to fling whatever was on him.

This small distraction was all that was needed for Fex to whip out his blood-red strings. Quickly they wrapped around their mouths like a spider web, before wrapping around their legs and pulling them to the ground. Then finally, their whole arms and legs had been covered.

They tried to break free from the strings, but it was nearly impossible for them. The spiders continued to move along their body, as they scanned for any traces of equipment that could give them away. The only thing that was found was a tracker that had been placed along with an alert button. However, the alert hadn't been pressed, so it was best to leave everything as it was for now.

The two of them entered the room, and they could see Peter standing there still. He had heard the commotion outside and was wondering just what was going on, but he had never expected to see these two.

Peter had already given up hope on being saved.

"I never expected you to save me," Peter said.

"Don't thank us yet, until you hear what we have to say. And it's not good news," Fex replied.
