Chapter 3
(you are in an old room, in the background there's an old tv making old VHS noises)
Narrator: *he's sitting in his armchair bored supporting his head on his arm, he peace signs and immedieatly drops his hand* Hey...
*he opens his hand thinking and shakes his head a bit* I kinda want to say something but I don't know what.
... *sits straight to and looks at YOU yes YOU*
(hapily) If I knew earlier how much fun making stuff like this is I'd do that the moment I got here.
*opens his arms excited* This is just so much fun! *belly laughs*
Anyway. *takes a VHS tape* Let's get moving, shall we not? *puts it in the tv, the room fills with slowly fading but blinding light*
An unwanted someone
*in background you "hear in my way"*
???: *it's slowly walking with its barbed blade in its hand, it says with exhausted voice* I want it...
*it's walking through alleys of some village* After all that time...
*you can hear someone crying, it also hears the cry, and it moves slowly to them* I still... want it...
...
Why?...
Is it impossible?... *it gets in front of a bush*
...
Why?... *it looks down, upon its mysery, someone's hiding behind the bush*
...
I won't suffer alone...

Arek: *wakes up a bit scared but tries to not show it* How original.
*sits down expressionless* Every day seeing more or less the same thing can get boring.
...
*looks at the window and cracks up and smiling* Not yet.
(back in his cheerful form) Anyway what time is it? *looks at his phone*
Ayyy-not that bad. Just 3 till 7.
*throws away his covers the cool way* Let's get moving, shall we not?
(later at the hill, AdC are missing)
Arek: *excited is using his hands like an italian to explain everything* Yeah so I was thinking!
Imagine! *squats a bit closing his eye and making a picture frame with his hands as he keeps walking*
We just fill it up with dynamite!(Narrator: And then make it boom!)
And then make it boom! *makes a slow explosion using his hands with excitement and hapi in his eyes*
Hubert: *opens his palm and raises it* Yea but where you gonna find the dynamite?
Arek: *swings his hand disparagingly and looks away* Eh.
*looks at Wolfy* We can work on that one later.
But first! *poses like an annoying gremlin about to make his evil plan happen in excitement* We need that booox!
May: *she's looking in front of her a bit disappointed* Even if you kill president. *she tilts her head and looks at Arek* His son is still alive.
Arek: (Kled) Then we'll kill him too!
May: M... *she cracks up and gigles a bit before sighing, she knows more* If it was only this simple.
Arek: *puts his arms to his chest with clenched fists in excitement* BUT IT IS!
May: *sigh*
*smile&turn* Then what do you say we do it today?
Arek: (Millie) Hell yeah! *he grabs May by shoulders with one hand and squeezes her making her blush in shock*
*he points to the sky* Team A'n'M gettin'cha done! *and clenched fist victoriously*
*makes money sign with his hands glancing at May, she tries to look calm* Makin' the money. (Narrator: Hey to those who know the reference.)
*finally lets her go and they keep walking to school, he stops being so excited* Anyway, where's AdC?
Hubert: *shrug* No idea. I thought they'd be coming with you.
Arek: Well. *makes that pose as if about to say "boi" and bending back a bit*
*lets his hands down* They're not... *thinks thurroughly putting hand on his chin and frowning* Mmm...
May: They're probably at their house.
Arek: *changes his expression and excited again points his finger out* They might be on a date too!
May: I suppose so.
*blushes looking forward* I kinda envy them.
Arek: (envy but content) Yah.
Me too.
...
Hubert: ... You two should get a room. *they blush hard opening their eyes wide stuttered and freeze in place*
(thinking) C'mon Arek. Make a move while she's vulnerable.
*silence, both of idiots are too scared*
*frowns and thinks angrily* Goddammit if it's going to stay like that I'll have to tell you to say yes for you the day you two marry.
(speaking) Arek. *Arek looks at him scared* You don't belong to the smartest.
Do you?...
Arek: *scratches his head and says as if nothing happened* Nope, I don't. *belly laughs*
Hubert: I think you might need some help with your lack of knowledge.
Arek: *looks down* Yeeeaa... *looks at Hubert tilting his head* And why do you ask? *smiles* Is it because you want to help me perhaps?
Hubert: (disappointed&angry) Nah, just reminding you.
Arek: -_- Oh. *makes ok sign* Cool.
Hubert: *rolls his eyes to Arek* But I'm sure that someone else will be eager to help you.
Arek: *realisation* I see what you say.
*happily turns to May* May, would you be so kind to help me with erasing my lack of knowledge?
May: *sigh* I already said I can help you if you need it.
Arek: *points fingers at her* Ayyy. Thanks youuu. *sticks his tounge out*
*Arek and May keep talking*
...
Hubert: (thinking) I guess I might've gone overboard... *he looks at them talking*
*loks in straight* Yeah... they need time.
...
Arek: (right in front of Hubert) Yo! *Hubert wakes up*
Bro!
(concerned but funny) You seem a bit out of it. Ya'll right?
Hubert: *cracks up and scratches head* Hm hm. Yeah.
*looks at them* Arek. May.
Sorry.
*Arek and May confused look at themselves, and back at him*
...
Arek: Bro wut? *smiles uncontrollably raising his eyebrow*
Hubert: *shakes his head laughing* No no. *and keeps going* It's nothing.
...
Arek: *sigh*
*Arek and May look at ech other confused and follow him* If you say so Wolfy.
...
*looks with content at the sky* World's a weird place.
And us, five in seven bilion.
*looks at his team* Wouldn't you agree? (Narrator: With all due respect. Yes.)
May: *long nod* Mm-hm.
Hubert: *smiles and looks wierded out at Arek* What do you mean five?
Arek: They might be listening.
*shrug* I may never know.
Hubert: I guess so.
(school, it's a peaceful day, May is eating sime stuf, Same with Hubert, Arek is scrolling through memes)
...
*Arek's tummy noise intensifies, May looks at him*
May: -_- Arek...
Arek: :3 May. *he hides his phone and puts his hands on his lap happily*
...
*May digs into her backpack, Arek looks at her confused and curious, she pulls out 3 buns*
May: Here.
Arek: Noł. *he backs off with his hands and legs, May's angery intensifies, she uses her power*
Huh? *Arek's hands move on their own* What? (terryfied) No. No no no nonononono. No stop.
Whatareyoudoing?! What?! Are you doing?!
*she forced him to take them and put two in his bag, she then lets him go*
...
May you've angered the gods.
May: *she keeps eating peacefully* If gods want your hunger then I believe in none of them.
...
Arek: (hapi) I... *smiles* Okay.
*closes his eyes and eats peacefuly* Thank you for that.
*silence*
May: *she looks at Arek* So what about the exams?
Arek: *looks away and tilts his head thinking* Well, I spoke with our supervising teacher. *smiles and tilts the other way* And I guess there are no more problems. *looks at May* So yeah. *pridefuly raises his head* In one month the exams shall be done!
*closes his eyes a bit in excitement and looks into the void* And after that. *smiles devilishly* The tournament.
*looks at May* Hope you haven't forgot about our deal. *belly laughs*
May: (confused) What deal?
*realization hits her* Oooh I remember. *she nods to herself*
Hubert: I don't.
May: *she looks over Arek at Hubert* If he gets into arena we also have to.
Hubert: Uhhh *he closes his eyes a bit, thinking intensifies*
... Nope, doesn't ring a bell.
Arek: *smiles with malicious intent* And that's why I'm recording every single moment of my life on 5 dictaphones. *bites into the bun*
Hubert and May: (shock) You WHAT!?
Arek: *laughs for few seconds* Git gud you two.
Giit guud.
(after school in front of it)
Arek: (proud) So any bright ideas for today?
May: Nope.
Hubert: None.
Arek: -_-
...
*sigh*
Listen I've been coming up with aaall kinds of gooffy ahh ideas for years.
Right? Right. *turns suddenly and points finger guns at them with eye closed and smiling* Your turn!
May: *puts hand on her chin and thiks loking on ground* Hmm... *deep breath*
*points at Arek with open hand* What do you say about the arcade?
Hubert: Heyy. *all eyes on him* That's actually a nice idea.
Arek: *shrug* I'm in. *smiles raising his eyebrows* Didn't play air hockey for a while.
May: *points up* Buut, there's a but.
Arek: (out of context) No idea how bout u guys.
But me? Personally? *nods to himself several times* I love butts.
Hubert: *smiles and cracks up* Bro me too. *bellylaughs*
May: *also cracks up* Fair enough. You got me there.
Arek: *victory poses* Yiss...
May: Continuing. (prideful) You will have to learn a lot because I *graceguly puts hand on her chest* was the one who came up with idea today.
Arek: (Darth Vader) NNOOO!...
May: *happily tilts to Arek* Don't worry. It won't hurt.
Arek: You always say that and you never keep that promise. *crosses his arms and "hmpf", looks away*
May: Promise I'll keep your brain pain away next time?
Arek: (Markiplier smash or pass moment) Mmm... Hm. Ye. Deal.
May: *claps her hands* Great.
(Narrator: But then!)
Some kid: SOMEBODY HELP ME! *he's dragged by darkness through the air, there's also some weird guy on it*
Arek: *starts to chase* What the fuck is this shit!? *May and Hubert turn on their armor*
May: It's that kidnapper! Stay back! *jumps seceral meters and catches the kid with whips then tears him away from the darkness and catches him mid-air, she lands with a powerful slam*
May: *she lets him down* Go get help!
Somekid: Okay! *runs away* Thank you!
Kidnapper: (voice of a dead man, he's covered in darkness) What Is this? *floats down*
*he's just standing there... Menacingly* Would you stop interfering with me? I have things to do and places to be.
Hubert: (angry) In your dreams bitch!
May: We will not interfere with you if you'd kindly stop kidnapping kids and tell us where are those you already kidnapped.
Kidnapper: YOU WILL NOT ORDER ME! (Narrator: Dear God he's a lunatic.) *tries to smash May with dark tendrils, she dodges with ease*
Hubert: *they keep their eyes on him* Seems he won't be working with us.
May: At least he's slow.
Arek: *he runs* SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE ROD! *and stops throwing a metal rod at him, it's parried, it bounces down on ground*
... *distressed Niko face*
Well shit... *stands pridefuly with hands on waist* Worth trying tho.
May: *looks at Arek angry before looking back at the Kidnapper and sometimes glancing at Arek* Why the hell are you in here?!
Arek: *shrug & ;p* You already know why.
Kidnapper: *summons 6 more dark tentacles around him* Is it just me? Or did the most valuable bounty on earth just came right into my claws.
Arek: *he crosses his arms and says disregaringly* Your eyes are deceiving you, bro. You should go to the eye doctor. *Kidnapper throws 3 tentacles at him, Arek with rizz points fingers at Kidnapper mid-dodge* Bet it's something serious. *all dodged*
Kidnapper: *bends to Arek with his arms and makes then into claws* SHUTUUP!
Arek: *tilts his head and looks at Hubert* Hey Wolfy.
Hubert: *glances back at him* What's up boss?
Arek: (excitement 100) Combo time! *he runs and picks up a rod, Kidnapper tries to slam him but is too slow*
Hubert: If you say so. *Arek throws the rod into the sky, almost falls onto the kidnapper but he made 1 step and dodged*
Kidnapper: WHAT?! *makes the _/\/\_ pose while bending forward*
THINKING I'M AS SLOW AS MY ATTACKS?!
Arek: *stops with a slide and spin* I certainly don't.
*smiles* Tho ma frien?
Hubert: GET! GOOD!*Makes a round cage surrounding Kidnapper, then proceeds to make it smaller*
Kidnapper: (cramped) YOU SERIOUSLY THINK!? THIS WILL DO ANYTHING?! *darkness surrounding him pushes the cage from inside, it's a fight of wills*
Hubert: (sweating) Y'know. I can't hold it foreve*Kidnapper throws a tentacle at Hubert,barely dodges but is unable to keep the cage together, it's destroyed and thrown away*
Hubert: He's actually good.
Kidnapper: And what else did you expect?! *he flails the tendrils around*
May: (thinking) Where's the help? *sigh*
I can't use my power directly on him... but why?...
*she prepares* No matter. *and runs dodging everything* Lives of children are on line! *she summons vines into her hand and spreads them to Kidnapper*
(speaking) Hubert! *He summons a gun and shoots, the shoots disappear on impact, Kidnapper launches an attack but May dodges it easily, she gets to him and holds him in place with her whips and vines, kidnapper struggles and groans*
Hubert: Fuck that! *throws away the gun, it de-summons itself, and summons a sniper-like rifle, he aims and shoots, still nothing*
Kidnapper: *makes a tentacle go for May* YOU IDIOTS! DO YOU HONESTLY EXPECT ANY SOULPOWER TO WORK ON ME!? *she kicks it away still holding Kidnapper, Arek all of a sudden appears in front of him with another rod ready to swing*
Arek: (smiling devilishly) WHAT ABOUT PHYSICS!? *he uses all of his power making the sweet spot of the rod hit Kidnapper's jaw, you can hear his armor turning on*
Kidnapper: AHH! *he tries to move but May already holds him too tight, from pain some of his tentacles disappear*
Arek: WOLFY! *Arek backs off leaving the rod mid-air, Hubert makes it into a spike and pierces through the Kidnapper, he screams again, he struggles against May flailing around his tentacles*
May: Do it!
Hubert: *he uses his hands like some kind of water bender* GET FUCKED! *he creates an metal spikes from the ground piercing through Kidnapper and almost doesn't dodge a tendrill swing*
Kidnapper: AHH! (chocking) E! NOUGH! *creates small tendrills that go inbetween whips and vines spreading them enough to sink away through a dark puddle in ground, all of his tentacles sink away too*
...
May: *sighs... She starts to themble, clenches her fists and* Dammit! *kicks away a nearby rock*
Arek: Guys. Listen. We tried!
We did good! *puts hand on his chin and thinks as they walk up to him* Mh...
*sighs closing his eyes*
*looks at his team with serious face* We should tell everyone that any soul-based attack doesn't work on him for some reason.
*May and Hubert nod*
Next time we see him we all go straight at him.
May. You're the most important since you can lock him in place.
*smiles and his entire face brightens up* By the way it was such a good idea! *places hand on his forehead and looks down* Like holy hell!
*and back at May, pointing open hand at her* You just stun-locked him like crazy! *makes an italian ok* Very beautiful.
Very powerful. (Narrator: Holy f! So mayny referrences today!)
May: (blushing&smiling) That certainly fills me with glee. Thank you.
*Arek's shadow deepens its blackness, May notices that and fear fills her face*
AREK WATCH OUT! *she tries to push him away but*
Arek: Huh? *he's dragged down into darkness, he can hear his friends, as he's going through the abyss*
Arek: What the hell?! (((https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jtGIhP60TI&t=9754s)))
...
*calms down* Welp.
I am going to Jezus...
...
How long even is this thing?
. . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
m-hm!
. . . . . . .
(Narrator: Hey to those who know the reference. And that's a 4th one today. Nice.)
*he's dragged out in some sewers and thrown away, he falls on his side and slides a bit*
(identifies as a problem) Oow! C'mon man! At least a bit of respect!
Kidnapper: (he's nowhere to be found) SHUT UP!
Arek: *points at nothing angeryrirly* Hell no!
Kidnapper: You've got a big mouth for someone without an ability. But it doesn't matter now.
Arek: And why's that?
*no response*
HEY!
*still nothing*
Well shit. *stands up* Now what? *and looks around with his hands on waist* Where in the actual hell is this place? Judging by the looks of it I'd say it's underground so no internet connection for me.
*smiles* Or maayybeee? *takes out his phone* Nope nothing. *hides it*
*he stares into the tunnel* Mmm... Light. (deadly serious) Means I'm not alone. *he walks up to it and thinks* I can't be sure that they're on my side.
They might be the kids that were kidnapped.
But at the same time, there might be ppl working with that shadow guy.
4 of the kids already have aprice tag, so it's possible they don't have the other two.
This place IS huge in the end.
Or at least it looks so...
*looks around before sighing* Not that there's anything else I can do right now. *starts to carefully walk toward the light* World. Give me your worst. *peeks out the corner, the entire place is higher so water doesn't flow in, few people are sitting there, and 4 kids are trapped in metal cages*
(whispering with a disgusted & scared face) What the actual fuck?
*hides and thinks* This looks like some fucking medieval times slave market?
Da hell?
...
*looks down stressed and concerned* Now what?
I mean.
*looksto the light again* I didn't know what to do from the beginning, so, yeah... *shakes his head agressively* dafq is wrong with this place?
Guy1: (looks weirdly creepy) The delivery should be here soon.
Guy2: (same as the previous one) I swear to god if that idiot is going to take the kid anywhere but this place again. I'm going to fucking kill him.
Guy1: It's not like he gave you a job or anything.
Guy2: So he can break the rules unlike therest of us, huh?!
Guy1: The point is that we can't do anything about that.
So keep calm.
He might be watching...
*Silence*
Arek: (thinking angry) Speaking of a living being as a simple "delivery".
Wow.
*smiles genuine* I really do wish I could beat them up. But*they start talking again*
Guy2: GOD I FUCKING HAD IT! *Arek peeks out, the kidnapper is holding some phone-like thing*
Guy1: *turns to him disappointed* Ungh. What now?
Guy2: *opens his arms in anger and walks around in circles* WELL GUESS WHERE'S OUR MONEY RIGHT NOW!
Guy1: *sigh* Let's just go and find that kid. *walks up to a bag that's leaning on a wall* There's still a chance he's nearby.
Guy2: ...Yeah...
How do you always keep so calm?
Guy1: It's just normal to me.
*takes a lamp and loojs at others* Hey guys. We're going to look for another delivery, set the timer.
Guy3: (yup, they all look creepy) Just don't go too far. We don't know when we might get caught.
Guy1: Don't worry I know. *Guy1 and 2 starts to walk towards Arek*
Who knows, maybe we'll find the other kids. *Arek slowly backs up*
Guy2: It's all because of that idiot.
The worst part is that if any of the kids will die, WE are the ones getting scolded by HIM.
Not the other way around.
Guy1: Don't worry.
We're gonna get rich, we're gonna get new identities and we're gonna live new rich lives.
All of our past will be left behind. And because our preys are rich, we don't even have to do it for that long.
Guy2: Yeah, you may be right.
Guy1: I'm 100% right.
Arek: (thinking) No ur not. Perfection doesn't exist.
Guy2: Can you get the light going? *Arek speeds up scared*
*Guy1 Ignites the lamp*
Guy2: Way better.
Arek: (thinking) They didn't see me.
Good. Anyway. Those sewers are way way too big for my tiny village.
Where can... the city... that would make sense.
But how did I get here in such a short time...
Maybe that dark tunnel is something in kind of a shortcut. Or I was going 500 km/hour, one of these.
But if that's the case than how are we even supposed to stop him. He can run away any time he wants.
If I get out of here I can call for help.
Easy stuff. *turns right* I just need them to say something about the exi*interrupted*
Guy2: So, how long till the supplies go out?
Guy1: Bout 1 and a half more weeks.
Guy2: Hm. I can't wait to see the surface again.
Guy1: I started to like this dull place.
Guy2: And why's that?
Guy1: I suppose I like this quiet... and peace.
Guy2: Here's the idea. First thing after we get out through the north gate, we're going to a really good restaurant an*interrupted*
Guy1: The first thing we do is go get new lives.
Outside this place, I never once knew you. You're a total stranger to me.
Guy2: Em... Yea, sorry about that...
Guy1: Just don't think about it. It's that simple.
Arek: *speeds up and thinks* Heheheheh.
Ima be lucky today. Let's move. *takes out his phone as the kidnappers start to talk again, they're too far to make a thing out of it, takes out a little compass out of his pocket and checks where is north* Hopefully, it works.
*turns on the flashlight and is startled by what he sees*
(terrified) ...No... *a little girl is lying on the ground*
Now what? *kneels down and checks her breath* From the beginning you didn't know shit. She's breathing, good. And now there's a little probably on brink of death girl.
(thinking) What now?... WHAT THE FUCK NOW?! I have to save her, but how, they're getting closer, if I'd leave her alone they'd find her and save her, she'd be terrified but safe. SO WHY DO I HESITATE?!
Arek, keep your shit together and simply leave her. *stands up* You don't want someone to die because of you... right?
RIGHT?!
...
(speaking) Arek ... *kneels* I hate you ...*checks if she's wounded, she isn't* with every inch of myself...*takes her on his back* and guess what... *doesn't finish the sentence, starts to run, slow and quiet, sprints after he gets far enough*
(short time later)
Girl: *just woke up, says frightened* Hmm?... W...what's going on w...who are you?
Arek: Oh you finally woke up. *stops running* Listen, I know you might be frightened but don't worry, I'm not with the bad guys. I also was also kidnapped. *puts her down* I think you deserve a little explanation, basically *explains everything, in meantime, he gave her some food and water*
(happily) And so here we are. Oh right, I almost forgot to introduce myself. *bows gracefuly* I'm Arek Zane.
Girl: *her eyes sparkle in excitement as she puts her hands to her chest* Are you that guy without an ability I've heard so much about?!
Arek: Yup, that's me for ya. The only human being who is 12 years old and doesn't have an ability.
Amy: I'm Amy and I'm 9 years old.
Arek: Tell me, how long have you been here?
Amy: I was here for... 2 days I think. I don't know. I haven't seen day light for long. I haven't seen any light in the time I was here.
Arek: And how do you feel? Does anything hurt you?
Amy:My leg hurts, I fell when I was looking around this place... I was here all alone for so long... afraid to call for help, because of... them...
Arek: *pats her on her head* Eh, no worries it's alright now, nothing bad will happen to you. Gotcha?
I also admire your resilience you know. You did a good job of surviving here.
Now we're getting out. Alright?
Amy: (full of vigor) Mhm.
Arek: Hm! *kneels* Hop on me, it'll be way faster, and don't worry about me, I can run for 30 minutes straight without a flinch... I mean.
After those 30 minutes I'm going to be one leg in the grave but I can do it easily.
Amy: Okay. *climbs on his back*
Arek:*stands up* Can you hold my phone like this? I can't run without light. *gives her his phone*
Amy: I'll do it!
Arek: Ayy. Thanks. *starts to run*
Amy: Wooow you're so fast.
Arek: And what else did you expect from the biggest idiot on the planet? *belly laughs* Here's a little tip. If you don't have the muscles, you need to compensate for it with your brains. But it doesn't mean you can't have both.
Amy: Mhm!
(another few minutes later, you can see dim but noticeable daylight)
Arek: (breathless) Wouldn't ya guess, we're already here.
Amy: Yey!
Arek: But there's one thing. *Arek slows down*
Amy: What is it?
Arek: Well, we can't be sure that there aren't any guards in here. *kneels and slides Amy down making sure she lands safely* That's why the first thing we are doing is calling for help. *and turns to her* So, can I have my phone for a sec?
Amy: Here. *gives him his phone back, Arek turns off the flashlight*
Arek: Alrighty then. *checks if he has the connection* Not just yet... well not that it matters.
Let's keep going. *slowly walks towards the light with Amy*
*silence*
Arek: *rolls his eyes* Sooo, *endengbup looking and leaningt to Amy* any plans after you get out of here?
Amy: *turns to Arek excited* First I want to see my mom and dad.
Arek: (pog) Oh my god, we have so much in common. *nods to himself*
Amy: (excited) Really!
Arek: Yeah! I really want to see my mom and say I'm okay. *looks away and shrugs trying not to belly laugh* She's probably worried sick about me.
Amy: Well I hope that you can see her as soon as possible. And what about your dad?
Arek: *smiles devilishly putting handon his chin and says with deadly intent* I mean. I haven't seen my dad for years now.
I've never seen him in my life actually. *points up* But I'm still so eager to meet him. *and looks infront of himself... smiling so good* And the day I will meet him will be probably the happiest day of my life...
Amy: (doesn't hear Arek's maliciousness) I'm sure he'll be happy to see you too. *another god-damn italian explaining everthing with hands* He's your dad, and my dad loves me soo much.
He says that he can't live without me! So yours has to be the same.
Arek: I can't be sure of it buuut *rolls his eyes and head and looks at Amy* I'll take your word for it. *they're getting close to last bend, the light around the corner seems so bright*
*stops* Okay, I think that this is the last corner before the exit. And how's the internet? *looks at his phone* Not yet. *sigh*
God, wherever might you be, please, make the exit unguarded. *peeks out the corner*
*stares motherfuckerly, and backs out, he thinks while clenching his fists and teeth* FUCK!!! FUCK FUCKFUCKFUCK!!! FUCK!!! *leans his head on wall calming down and whispers* ... meeeeeeeee...
Amy: You?
Arek: *looks at amy and says as if nothing happened* F word me. *looks to his right* There is just one gal, *and back at Amy* but she's still going to be a huge problem. *curls down and catvhes his head* Now what? Arek. Think you idiot, think... *he thinks hard*
...
...
...
*sigh*
Okay.
Here's the idea. *stands up* The exit isn't locked so that's one good thing.
Basically *gives her his phone* I'm going to distract her, *nods to the exit* she is going to follow me and you get out and call this person. *at his phone he points at May's number* She's probably going to be freaked out, simply tell her what's going on and what's your location.
Got that?
Amy: Okay. But... what about you?
Arek: *smiles brightly* Oh come on. *opens his arms* Who do you even take me for? *closes his eye and points at himself with thumb pridefuly* Have you forgotten that I can run for 30 minutes straight? *opens his arms again* One and half an hour if I'm taking breaks. *smiles delicately and nods putting his hand on amy's shoulders* I'll be okay. *nods and looks to his right again* And even if she catches me, thanks to you getting out of here, I and others will be saved.
So!
Any objections?
Amy: (saddened) ...Not really...
Arek: Great. *hapily stands up and looks around* See that place over there. *points at a huge crack in a wall* Go and hide, there. I'm going to make a huge distraction.
Now go, there's no time to lose.
Mia: *sad nod* ...Thank you. *she goes and hides in the crack, without extra light no one could see her, Arek walks back into the depths of the sewers*
Arek: *he closes his eyes in calmness before the storm, breathe in and out, he stops whispering*
Well.
We're here, *takes out his mp3* and there's no way denying it... *puts earphones in* It's just you n' me pal. *prepares* Just you n' me...
...
*turns it on and starts to run*
(madly excited) NO FUCKING WAY, DON'T TELL ME I'M FINALLY OUT OF THIS HELL HOLE! *he runs out the corner after a second, his smile turns upside down*
Oh shit.
Gal: (she has that pirate accent, leaning on the entrance) Heh, would ya look at that. *with a single move she turns to XenoX with style* One brat almost got out.
XenoX: Ooh shit...
Gal: *smiles so kindly* Now be a good boy and come to me.
XenoX: *sigh* Dear diary, today I died.
...
(whispering) Do you like, my car? *it echoes through infinity*
Gal: What did ya say?
XenoX: *shrug* Eh. Nothing really.
*turns 90° and starts to run like Peppino* Later!
Gal: (laughing) And where do ya think yer going? *chases after him*
XenoX: I'm going where I'm fucking not!
*the light fades as they enter deeper parts of the sewers, XenoX is slowly getting away*
Gal: (thinking) What the hell, how is he so fast? He also looks older than 11-year old. Just who even is he?
...
*sigh* I suppose it's time. *she turns on her armor*
(speaking) You're not getting away from me small one.
XenoX: (energetically) Yes I am!
For I am speed! *turns right*
Gal: *laughs and breathes in* That makes the two of us. *she quickly catches up to him and tries to set him flying with her fist, she misses and destroys a wall nearby, making dust go up in the air*
XenoX: *terryfied tries to look back* For the love of God, what the actual fuck?! *adrenaline pumps through his veins and his pupils constrict*
Gal: *she gets through the dust cloud and keeps chasing him* Missed it.
But don't worry, next one will go right for ya.
XenoX: Promise?
Gal: (dumbfounded) Umm, what?
XenoX: I asked if that's a promise?
Gal: *cracks up* Sure thing kid. But before that. *she summons spears of light in air* Sorry if I'm going to kill ya accidentally. *snaps her fingers, the spears head toward XenoX, he summons a metal rod out of nowhere and tries to parry the spears, 4 parried, 11 dodged, 3 scratched him*
Gal: Where did ya get that iron rod?
XenoX: 1st, this isn't pure iron. 2nd, I have no idea! (Narrator: GASP! HE PULLED IT OUT FROM HIS ASS!)
*summons even more spears and sends them flying to XenoX, he dodges them by turning right to otjer part of the sewers*
How much more of them do you even have?
Gal: As many as you want.
*even more spears are coming for XenoX*
XenoX: *trying to dodge everything* Shit shit shit. *jumps on a spear coming from his back nd backflips off of it* Maybe you could fire a bit less of them?!
Gal: Of course, I could. Why should I though? Isn't it fun to dodge them all?! *summons even more spears and sends them at XenoX*
XenoX: (to himself) Maybe I should just shut up. *parry block dodge and jump*
It's like some fucked up platform game.
Gal: Hmm... That gives me an idea.
*spears grow from the ground creating a wall*
XenoX: (thinking) Kys Arek. Kys. *jumps and catches a wall of spears by a tip cutting his hand then quickly jumps over it, the wall disappears*
(to himself) I'm finally losing my breath, and more spears are coming.huff. Heheh. Bring it on world!
*updown right right up left down right*
XenoX: I can do this.
Gal: *takes a spear and says to herself* Does this kid even have a LIMIT? *and throws it like a boomerang*
He's running like he doesn't feel no strain. *he long-jumps over it with a roll*
Hm. Impressive.
But it ends now.
*he turns right again, there is a bunch of spears waiting for him at the end of the tunnel, XenoX stops, so does Gal*
Gal: It's been nice and all. But I think it's time to finish this.
XenoX: Well shit, I suppose that's it.
*turns pointing at her* That's what you think I was going to say, right? *turns and runs smiling* TO HELL WITH THAT! *starts to run again* Some stupid spears won't stop me!
Gal: *huff* Too bad. *with her snapping fingers the spears fly at Arek from both sides... but XenoX jumps on a spear in front of him*
What the!? *then onto another, and another he parries two coming from behind, and so he runs*
*she's gaping at him in shock* HOW IS HE DOING THIS?! *jumps again, and parries yet another, few of them strike him but he doesn't stop*
Arek: Not yet! Just like Asta! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. *does that again and again and again, then he jumps on a spear coming from behind getting a boost, he jumps down rolls and keeps running*
I am fucking speed! *looks behind and gets confused* She's... not here? . . . *turns smiling so brightly again* Oh who cares! *takes deep breath and sings* AND YOU'LL SEE THE BIG SHOOO-OO-OO-O-OOow!
*XenoX keeps running but suddenly, she appears before him without her armor in a blink of an eye* OH SHIT! *XenoX stops right before her fist*
Gal: (smug) Gotcha. *she hits him on his head with her fingertip making him fall, then she summons a horde of spears that surround him*
Like I promised. *leans to him supporting her hand on leg* I went right for the head.
Arek: *breathless looks away scratching his head* Well.
What can I say?...
*looks at her, smiling kindly* Thanks for the run.
Gal: Hm.
Ya sure were a handful one tho.
Well. *stands up, puts weight on her rear leg and her hands on waist*
Let's get ya to the center. *closes her eye and gives him the finger while laughing* No running away this time, alright? *she gigles*
...
Arek: (confused) You're awfully nice for a kidnapper.
Gal: *glances at him* Ya think so?
Arek: I mean, *explains everything in italian xd* you're not saying anything rude to me, you laughed when I asked you if that's a promise, you said sorry in advance if you were to kill me accidentally. *shrugs confused* You even complimented me just now. *and points his open hands at her* It feels like you're not made for this. *he supports himself on his arms again*
Gal: *huffs and says less happy looking elsewhere* Just because ya're not made for something doesn't mean you can choose to do it or not.
To be honest with you, I always wanted to build an orphanage of my own. *she angers* And I did it, but one day... everything... all of my hopes and dreams... they were simply burned to the ground... *swipes her hand through air, as if a wave that destroys everything* those f-ing monsters...
*glances at Arek* Have you heard of terrorist attack 2 years ago in Maliva?
Arek: Not really, I'm not much of a media person.
Gal: Well then listen. They took us hostage, me... My friends... But most importantly the kids... *turns her head and smiles* But don't ya worry your little head. That was nothing compared to what happened next. *Arek is scared* The city's higher-ups decided that it's not worth it to save us, *she kneels to Arek* and so... the entire place was bombarded. *smiles so brightly* And magically, the only one who survived.
Was me. *you can see tears forming in her eyes*
Me. And my STUPID FUCKING ABILITY! *she destroys a wall in anger with a punch before sighing with relief*
After that, it was said that the terrorists decided to off themselves instead of "facing the crime". I tried to pull them down. *she clenches her fist*
Didn't work. *lets it go*
They are simply too rich. *she starts walkimg around* And then when I was noone.*opens her arms* With nothing left to lose but my stupid self. *she stops and turns to Arek* I learned about "this job". How much money it gives. Not only that. I knew that if I were to work here I could also make it up for kids that were kidnapped by making this place a bit brighter... ya... know what I mean...
With the money I'd pull them down for good. *she clenches her fist again with hope*
And in the end... those monsters. Would finally be stopped. *she opens her hand dramatically* And after that, someone else would come. Hopefully good... but definitely better.
...
Arek: (speachless and sad) ...I'm... so sorry.
I don't know what to say...
Gal: It's fine.
*smiles* It's not yer problem anyway.
*deep breath followed by a sigh*
...
Arek: *stands up and opens his arms in concern* Listen there's not much I can offer you. But I'm here.
...
Gal: *sighs with a smile* I'm an adult you know.
(laughing) I am the the one who should be consoling small kids like ya. *belly laughs*
Arek: We're all human.
It's not just kids that need it.
...
Gal: *sigh* Well then. Thank you for the offer.
But I'm mostly over it already.
...
Arek: *sighs closing his eyes and letting his arms down* I won't force it on you.
Well. I'm Arek.
Gal: *raises her eyebrow* Hm. Arek.
Never herd that one before. (rizz) But it does have a nice ring to it.
I am Sophia. *points up and leans to Arek* Not telling ya my ability since you haven't told me yours.
Arek: *angry rolls his head and eyes* Oh yeeeaaah. *looks at her angrily* Cause the only human on earth with no ability suddenly gained one. *crosses his arms angrily and leans to Sophia*
Sophia: *laughs as Arek looks at her dead serious, Arek cracks upand laughs too*
Wait are ya serious? *Arek just keeps laughing*
...
*she puts hand on her chin* That would explain a lot though.
Arek: Doesn't it? *gigles*
Sophia: Yer funny. *admits with her arms closed* I'll give ya that.
Arek: *snaps and points fingers at her with one eye closed* Ayy.-Thanks.
Means a lot.
(normal) I have a question for you tho.
Sophia: Shoot.
Arek: *sigh* Here goes nothing. *she gets suspicious* Would you, stop doing wha*he's interrupted*
Sophia: (with sarcastic voice) what you're doing and step away from this bad stuff blah blah blah.
*sigh*
*smile washes off of her face* I explained myself already.
I won't stop.
I can't.
Arek: There's just one more thing.
Sophia: Hmm?
Arek: You see.
I didn't come to the exit alone. There was also a friend I made just a moment ago. And by now, she had called for help.
Sophia: *opens her mouth in small shock* E...
I see... *she de-summons a few of her spears and makes the rest turn down, they make for some high-quality lights*
Arek: I hope you can forgi*she hits his head with her fingertip* Ow.
Sophia: Don't apologise, yer words ain't worth it.
...
And now what?
There's, nothing... I can't do anything... *squats down* I tried... and did all I possibly could... *sigh, Arek also squats down*
*she looks up with a glimer of hope* ...One thing left to try...
*you hear an explosion*
Arek: *looks to his left surprised* They're here. Didn't expect them so soon.
Sophia: *she stares sad into the void* Arek. Ya said yer the one without ability.
Arek: *nods* M-hm.
Sophia: Can I... *looks at him* can I ask of ya one thing?
Arek: What is it?
Sophia: After I'll be taken to prison. Can you promise me, that you will try to save those kids? All of them
Arek: *cracks up and smiles* Oh come on. You say it as if that wasn't my plan from the beginning. *belly laughs*
Sophia: E... *lets her head down* Hm... Thank you...
Arek: No worries. *tilts his head curious* Why prison tho?
Sophia: *raises her eyebrow and says with less sad voice* Is there any other place left for me?
And if you're worried about me, then here's a thing. I'm almost as strong as chief.
*points behind with thumb* I'm talking about that weird shadowy guy.
Arek: *rolls his head* Oooh *smiles ans looks at Sophia* you mean that guy who tried to turn me into part of the side walk.
Sophia: (anger) HE TRIED WHAT!? *stares motherfuckerly at Arek*
*awkward silence*
I'm gonna kill that guy. I can promise ya that.
Arek: *rolls his eyes stressed* III...'d rather not.
Sophia: *raises her eyebrow* Like you have any say in that.
Arek: *cracks up* Oh-okay.
Sophia: *says so kindly* So.
Ya wanna talk about random stuff before someone comes here?
Arek: You know me for less than 10 minutes and already know almost anything about me. *tilts his head curious* How do you even do that?
Sophia: *she waves her hand slowly above her head and looks at it* It takes yeeeaaars of practice.
...
*looks at Arek and brags* For everyone else.
Arek: *cracks up and laughs and nods* Cool, cool.
*few minutes later, you can hear a massive amount of heavy footsteps*
Arek: *sigh* Well, this is it.
Sophia: It was good knowing ya. Shrimp. *belly laughs*
Arek: And the same goes for you. *they laugh uncontrollably, an Antiterrorist jumps out of the corner*
Antiterrorist: Someone's here! *Sophia and Arek are surrounded by the antiterrorists and taken to the exit*
...
GG.
