Chapter Fifteen

After the fight both boys left that place, and were looking to defeat some robots, to find the map.

Luan now had more injuries than before, and he felt sorry for Liz, so he rushed to get more points and wounded term.

She looked upset and walked without looking back.

Sparks began to fly near them, and the lamps went on and off by themselves.

Liz was watching for anything that might happen and pulled out her dagger.

Two huge centipede shaped robots passed by against a student.

-Let's follow him," I shouted to Liz.

And they both ran to see what was happening.

For several meters, they followed him and suddenly something shortened those two robots, and he rode on top of them.

The light stabilized.

In front of them, there was a boy with black hair, and crimson eyes.

They immediately recognized him as Alison. But his right hand was injured and you could see the current moving in it.

Both of them approached their friend.

-What happened to you?

-I've been killing these things for about an hour to find the supposed map, but these things have electricity and their energy is getting to me, so I took these little batteries to blow up the cameras. I see Luan, he's pretty hurt.

-You're worse," said Liz.

-Your device was destroyed, all right.

-Yes, there was a time when there were about 20 of them, and these things electrocuted me, so much so that my power was reactivated and I destroyed them, making me hurt. How did they find me? There are thousands of corridors.

Liz smiled and didn't want to answer.

-Okay, I get it.

Luan sat down on the floor as they talked.

-What's wrong with you? I ask Alison.

-I'm just wondering how they got the idea to do a test like that, we could die.

Liz, without thinking twice, answered.

-From what I've seen, in the teachers, the war will happen again, and that's why they're pushing us like this.

Alison put her hand on his shoulder and spoke to him.

-Luan, can you continue?

-Yes, let's continue.

He got up and they kept walking through that maze for ten minutes.

And another herd of centipedes appeared on one of the paths and rushed towards them.

Alison, with several moves I ended up with ten of the centipedes.

Liz finished off three of them and was still in the fight with two others.

Luan, saw himself cornered, so he decided to continue with his one strong point, his speed.

He moved quickly to hurt the hundred feet in their weakest points until he managed to beat the first one.

But the others, seeing the boy's weakness, all went on top of him, abandoning their fight against the other two.

Luan drew the other one with a sword, which he had and tried to avoid the attacks of the robots with his extremities.

Alison got on one of them and started to hurt and brake her strength.

Liz attacked them from behind.

But the biggest of all diverted his attention from Luan and attacked Alison, biting her on the right arm, where she still had her power. This caused a large field of electricity. Liz took her partner by the hand, the lights went on and the lamps burned out.

After several minutes, both boys came back for Alison.

And they found him on the floor and his whole body was emanating electricity.

-Go get the map and leave, -he said.

-We can't leave you, -Liz said.

-My power is getting out of control, it's dangerous, like it was before.

--There's a way to limit it again, you said someone had limited it.

-Yes, but that person is dead.

-And you saw how he did it,

I think so, but it would be difficult for me, I don't remember very well.

-I think there's something we can do," said Liz.

-What," Alison asked.

-We would go to your memories.

-How so would you go?

-I can go with someone to see people's memories, but not for long.

-You never said that.

She blushed a little and answered.

-I don't like to tell anyone I can do this, it's uncomfortable for me.

-Well, let's do it," said Luan.

-We would have to go to your memories and see how they put that stamp on you.

Liz took luan's shoulder and looked at Alison.

They both walked into a place, very different from the one they knew.

It looked like a kind of medieval place, with white clothes, and some dark ones.

The stone houses, there was a man who looked like Maduro with a white beard and yellow eyes, quite handsome.

Luan tried to talk to him, but he ignored him.

-He won't listen to you," said Liz.

-He looks familiar.

-We didn't come for this, we'll do it another time.

And all of a sudden they had a memory of Alison.

It was the same man, with a little boy with black hair, they immediately realized he was their friend.

That guy started talking.

-I know it's painful but it's necessary, you must learn to control your power, close your eyes.

That child, was crying and extending his hand, while they made a strange mark on one of his arms.

After finishing the approach, he approached the child and placed his forehead against his forehead and said a few words.

Immediately these marks shone and he opened his eyes.

After that, they came to a memory of Alison, where there were dead people everywhere. The place seemed to be a destroyed laboratory.

Liz, at once brought them to reality.

Because you did that, I....

She looked at him, and said.

-Remember we didn't go into Alison's mind to do anything else. Do you remember the symbols and the words?

-Yes, I have a photographic memory," Luan said.

We must go to a dead end to avoid being attacked, here we are exposed.

Alison, can you get up?

-Yes, let's go.

They walked for almost 10 minutes and finally found a place. There was only one entrance.

The big question they asked themselves was who would seal it for Alison, who was rightly away from them because of the instability of their power.

-I will," said Luan.

-I don't feel any pain, don't worry Alison.

-That's the main problem, pain tells you when something is wrong with your body, you won't know when your body is on edge.

-Don't worry, I think I won't be long.

And he approached him, receiving the first charge of energy.

He fell to the floor, for a moment, and got up.

-Luan," his two friends shouted.

He sighed and said.

-I'm all right.

I'm all right. I walk over and get to the place where Alison was.

A little saddened, she approached him.

-Please give me your arm.

I notice that he had a scar, quite deep on his arm.

-You did this?

-It was the day I saved you.

-I understand....

He looked down at this answer.

With a dagger he began to make a new seal higher up, scratching his skin.

When he was almost finished, he felt the second shock of electricity.

Alison stopped him from falling to the ground.

And with him they sat on the floor.

Luan took a breath, felt hard to breathe, Alison still healed her wounds,

-You can't do this...

-I have to make it so your body won't hold out so long.

Minutes went by and I started writing again.

It wasn't long before I was done. Just a few words and that was it.

While in the distance another herd of centipedes approached.

-Continue, I'll take over," said Liz.

In that same loop of time, Liz was struggling with the mechanical centipedes, which at first attacked her for analysis, then the larger one took the initiative and as they had done before the others followed.

They were about to seriously hurt her, but Samantha appeared and fought beside her.

-I didn't expect to find them yet, but I'm not going to stay behind.

They both fought shoulder to shoulder to finish them off, for a long time.

They were almost finished, but another herd of a hundred feet much larger than the ones I was with came back.

But Liz, at the same time, was watching to make sure that none of them passed by and tried to attack their companions. And she was wounded in the abdomen by a hundred feet, nobody could help her at that moment, so she decided to touch her device and deactivate it. She was left on the floor, very hurt.

Samantha was almost in awe of what had happened.

And she went into a crazy mode attacking everything she saw, and she was screaming.

Luan heard the screams of his partner, saw the scene that left him disturbed, and tried to calm down with what had happened.

And he approached Alison

As uncomfortable as this would be, he set his forehead against Alison's

-Close your eyes, this is a little embarrassing.

Both of you did it.

And luan said the words.

-I'm limiting you so you don't hurt anyone.

Seconds later he felt a unique force that was close to him. He got up and walked away from his partner.

He looked at Alison and his arms lit up.

The centipedes felt it, too, and went out of control toward him, ignoring Samantha.

Alison stood up and with one hand she took away everyone's energy, but at the same time another electrical field was created around her that affected Luan in such a way that he fell to the ground almost convulsing, because he was so close.

Alison tried to revive him, taking away some of the electricity he had received. Until he managed to calm down and passed out.

Then she went to check on Liz. Samantha was holding her, almost crying.

-We have to get her somewhere quickly," Alison said.

-What about Luan?

- You can take care of him. I'll take Liz.

-Yes, I will. I see you're hurt, too, but what was that, how did you stop those robots from moving?

-I'll tell you some other time, the priority is Liz, let's go.

Both boys looked at the map, and went to the nearest place to get their friend healed. They split up and went in different directions.

The black-haired boy was carrying her, and they looked for the staircase that took them to the second floor.

🏳🏳🏳🏳🏳🏳🏳🏳🏳🏳🏳🏳

Samantha was holding Luan in her lap, and waiting for him to wake up. A few minutes passed, and her partner opened his eyes.

-Hello, boy," Samantha said.

-What happened?

-Well, you fainted, and we brought you here, and I'm waiting for Alison.

-Yeah, uh... where's Liz?

-We had to take her to be treated, she's in bad shape. And I think it's almost time for another bulletin.

We need to know if there is someone else to join forces, although we were told that we shouldn't do a group, it's impossible to do this alone.

It was strange for the boy, his two companions, who seemed more concerned about him and treated him as if he were someone they appreciated. Somewhat unconsciously, he tried to think why things had changed so quickly. At what point for them he became so important, if they had crossed a word or two, as it happened another report was heard.

-Total students 1007.

...…. ...…. ….

Luan's point of view

Shortly after that information, Alison arrived. And I could stand up. We immediately headed for the top floor.

When we got there. They were cold and more so with these torn clothes.

They walked through a maze of ice, the lights were constant but they were on guard against anything happening.

Our swords were beginning to stiffen.

I don't know how long it had been since we climbed up to this floor, but it seemed like forever, I felt like we were going around in circles.

Suddenly we saw 7 students running, and he was heading towards us.

-Run!

Alison and Samantha ignored him, and prepared to fight.

A six-foot spider appeared in front of us.

It was horribly frightening.

Its enormous eight huge eyes were looking at them. And those huge legs made them want to kill it even if it was only a robot.
