20 Chapter 20: Solo ride

Gabriel Rowling was on a quest to find Queen Anestelia. After he and his friends went their separate ways, Gabriel met Li and Mo, both of whom were noble warriors. They arrived at the camp when the cyborgs came and blew up the gate.

Gabriel was ready, ready to swing his sword. But he soon realized that this was not going to be a normal fight. There was something strange about it. He didn't know what, but he was right in his guess. A fair fight looks different. As soon as the gate was blown and opened, people were ready to fight. But then fog could be seen outside. A fog that irritated many. There were some who claimed that it was mustard gas. No one was willing to sacrifice themselves first. No one wanted to die needlessly in the fire. A strong, muscular man ran out. At first he needed courage, standing in the warehouse, as he took the first steps outside, into the unknown. The next moment a crunching, a chewing was heard. The man was attacked by surprise. The monster came from above, bass him, so that the lower body fell on the ground. The view gruesome. Everyone was shocked. They were afraid. Li stepped forward and began to encourage his brothers and sister. "Brothers and sister. I will be the next one to go out. I can predict that I will be the next one to be eaten by the Wicher. If we all stick together, we can defeat them!" The first ones joined, approached him and so did Gabriel and Mo. "May God help us," were his last words, looked at Mo and Gabriel for the last time and went outside. Mo and his emboldened comrades emerged from the warehouse. Barking could be heard from different sides, as if the dog-like creatures were organizing. Li fired several arrows, Mo and Gabriel held their swords ready in their hands. The first monsters ran toward them. They were very large, many were about five meters tall beasts that ate a handful of people, brave warriors. The three main characters were also approached by the wild monsters. Again and again Li shot arrows, not knowing if he hit or missed, until one of the monsters came from his direction. It was wounded, the arrows deep in the wound. One eye, one foot, and it had painful wounds on its face as well. Li jumped into the air, able to push his arrows even harder into the wound. This he did so strongly that the already wounded monster died, but right before that Li was thrown into the distance, hurt himself badly, could hardly stand. And the monster fell to the side. Mo and Gabriel worked together. All the animals that came from the left, Mo had taken over, while Gabriel took over all the animals from the right. There were many. Again and again Mo and Li cut off the heads, cut them in half or even made them unable to walk by cutting off their feet. The ground was full of blood anyway, the clothes of the warriors were fully filthy. For the two of them it was hard enough to fight with monsters that were five meters high, the next bigger beasts came, which were seven meters tall. They were really huge, but there were not many of them. While Mo was cutting off their feet more forcefully from below, Gabriel jumped seven meters into the air, ran above the beast and slashed it. In the process, he bled gingerly. Mo, meanwhile, stood up, caught sight of the dead and injured, who were attacked by the monsters, lying on the ground. Injured people were screaming, while those who survived kept moving forward, they abandoned the wounded, could not or would not help them. This showed how people are selfish, how they only care about themselves and no one else. It was war. In war, many people die. It's either him or you and that's not a question. Li caught sight of a woman lying on the ground. Her hands were cut off. She looked at Li. "Please! Please! I'm looking for my arms. Please help me look," he told her. Before he could help her, she fell forward and died. Li didn't understand why there was unnecessary war. This is not a solution. It would be better if people discussed together and explained what they didn't want, what they wanted to change. By now all the monsters had been killed, the fog was still there. Suddenly a foehn blew and the fog disappeared. A woman and her arms, were now visible. She clapped her blue gloves. "Bravo!" was all she said. Her eyes were glowing light blue, her hair black and white. Her pelvis was wide, and there was an apparatus on it. They were wires that they could purposefully use later. She and the arms had navy blue uniforms. Additionally, the soldiers had blue masks on. Probably gas masks. Mo explained to Gabriel that she was the dictator and that she was doing genocide. "Kill them!" she ordered her soldiers, who pulled out their weapons. It took a while to load them. The survivors ran toward her, falling to the ground, hitting her while the dictator killed several people. Mo and Li attacked them the soldiers, while Gabriel decided to attack the woman. Fighting Gabriel was not easy, although he did not show his true strength yet. He swung his sword vertically, but she was able to hold them with her bare hands. Gabriel was amazed, investing more strength, she smiled. As soon as she let go, they ran back and the sword hit the ground. She attacked him, but Gabriel turned counterclockwise and hit her. She flew in the air, then used her wires, which she shot off to hit the wall of the warehouse. She pulled herself to the wall, running along it. Gabriel did not let himself wait. He jumped high in the air to the wall. She turned to him, crossed her arms and took the blow from Gabriel. He fell back. On his back he fell to the floor while she jumped on top of him. With her wires, she shot through his body. More precisely, she hit him in the chest. "You're pathetic. You no-good. You are incapable of fighting. I will kill you and everyone you love." Gabriel became angry and the rings under his eyes turned golden. "What did you call me?" he asked her. Gabriel's true body was still in the machine with Tina. Both bodies glowed to gold. He ripped out the wires that were inside his girl's body and floated in the air. "Feel my anger, feel my hate," he said to the woman who smiled at him and jumped toward him. It was too late. Gabriel had found his true power. Briefly, he launched shock waves, causing the woman to fall to the ground. This time she lay in a crater and was injured. "No one will ever love me." He became angry. All even those who fought on his side fell to the ground. A short time later, the ground began to crumble into pieces. Gabriel as a girl was history, now a new era was coming. The woman stood up, attacked him by jumping to the wall and giving it everything she had. All her energy she used to jump off. Was she strong enough to make him feel sorry? In fact, she cut him in half, but Gabriel was long gone from the girl's body, returning to his world, the world ruled by the dark mage. As soon as the woman cut him in half, his body exploded and the world he was in was completely destroyed. But had everyone died? The dark mages were downtown, summoning their powerful master. "O Lodos tou Skotous. Borei na mas synantisete. Voithiste mas na kyvernisoume ton kosmo!" they kept saying in Greek. Tina, Anne and Lequan didn't know what to do. They were haunted by the storms and lightning caused by the dark mages. There was no way they could defeat them. At that moment, a golden ray shone from an apartment that caught their eye. "Tina, isn't that your apartment?" asked Anne Tina, who was just looking at the rays that reached up to the clouds. "You're right," she replied. Right after that, Gabriel was seen floating in the air. He approached the city. The tornadoes, which he could stop with one hand, disappeared. The dark mages became aware of him. It all made sense to Gabriel now: Queen Anastelia had not been kidnapped at all, but had kidnapped herself, for she was one of the dark mages. Although there were no more storms and no more lightning in the city, a big black monster came out of a black hole. It was at eye level with Gabriel, trying to attack him, but promptly, twisting his fingers and arm. The monster screamed loudly in pain, where he used his other hand. But its fingers and arm were also twisted. Even louder he screamed. He became angry, angry at Gabriel who had broken his arms and fingers. His eyes turned red and shot red lasers, which Gabriel stopped with his arm, which he crossed. It was clear to decide that it was not easy to defeat him. The only thing the monster still did: with his head he hit Gabriel, who hit him with a fist. In doing so, he fell on the ground and Gabriel conjured up his sword, which this time was golden and big. With it he stabbed the monster, while the dark mages tried to escape. They could do nothing, they had lost. But after the monster died and spat blood, Gabriel dove in front of each mage and stabbed them one by one. He knew their true identities and looked deeply into their eyes. With the last person, he took away their hood and sure enough, the theory was correct. It was indeed Queen Anestelia. Lequan, Tina and Anne were amazed. Gabriel whispered to her, she was amazed, looking at him. Gabriel's last question was why had one of her subjects killed her. She laughed, "You can't save everyone!" He swung his sword and beheaded her at the same time. Gabriel didn't have enough energy. He fell to the ground and became unconscious. The opening of a Subway train door was heard. Gabriel was lying on a seat in the moving train. You can see train stations, tunnels, before Gabriel opened his eyes. He looked around at first, but he was alone. He walked toward the next door, but he was, like a glitch a bug in the system stretched up and turned around. Step by step he stepped forward only with difficulty, another door where a light shines through the window. Suddenly he delayed and the present, so that he tipped forward. Again and again this happened after he took a step forward. He got from it, which hurt him. On the sides he held on to bars until he could open the door and go into the next further part of the carriage. He was weak and what was wrong with that. The more he walked forward, the more his jumps hurt until he arrived next to a door that opened. He could see freedom. Gabriel ran at this, but like a barrier, this kept him on the train. Again and again he went shoulder forward at the barrier. When a person passed next to the door, he hit his hand against the barrier, shouting so that he could get the person's attention. However, in vain. As before, he continued to run to the light in front. He also got through this door and fell on the floor, sliding down while holding onto the bar and lights turned red. Once this was over, he knelt with his hands up. Encouragingly, he stood up and kept running, opening the next door when the train stopped unexpectedly, Gabriel flying forward. Flying through the air, he disappeared in short order, falling onto the tracks as it ran toward him. "Gabriel!" someone called out to him. "Help!" He woke up, lying on the road. In front of him a car stopped and honked. He got up, not knowing where he was, and walked on the sidewalk. It was back to normal. He stood there and caught sight of his friends Lequan, Tina and Anne. He greeted them and asked them what he should do now. Together they decided to have a coffee and went to the café. The weather was nice and they sat outside. "It's been a long time since we've seen you. You were gone for five days. We couldn't find you!", Anne said to him. "And what did I miss?" he asked happily. "Well, we had a problem. Lequan is Tina and she is him," he told her. "You switched bodies?" he asked, amazed. "With a reason...," she looked for an excuse. Let's discuss it somewhere else," Tina said into Lequan's body. She didn't trust the area very much. Gabriel got up, had to go to the bathroom, where he caught sight of a woman washing her hands. She was staring at him, which caught Gabriel's eye. He asked the stranger what was wrong. "Take good care of yourself!"
