Her Power pt.1

The operation is being prepared with the patient on site in a blink of an eye. Aileen who agreed to this, was even on the mood to yell yes if it was needed earlier, suddenly felt reluctant when she was requested to lie down. She lies there unconscious as the doctors and nurses meticulously puts the head gears on her and get the dream monitor ready. It is practically a monitor for those who have problems with their brain system where they don't remember their dreams, in which in their case, it should be impossible to forget. But in this scenario, it would be to advice her how to connect with the Guide that is inside her, and to confirm her status as a reincarnate.

Terry just watch all of this unfold and she sighs as she feels her stomach turning just by feeling the atmosphere and knowing the outcomes of it. Truth be told that the couple has been hiding the fact that their daughter is a reincarnate due to unsaid reasons, but nevertheless, they really didn't want to let the Government know that she is a reincarnated. She knows most of this thanks to the Goddess Psyche's ability. the ability to look into a soul's secret. But now, she suffers due to knowing it herself. It hurts that I know about it, she closes her eyes and sigh. She wonders what if Rachel were to be at her position, but it is already concluded that she would just turn down the offer despite Aileen's protest or the doctor's explanation.

She returns her attention to the operation happening on the other side of the glass panel. The monitor starts to blink, the doctor and a couple of nurses starts to go on their positions and the operation is now commencing.

They drag in a huge object bind to thick sterilized metal coated in white coloring, it's a device that acts like an x-ray but for core specifications only like the mana veins that the core makes to connect to the other arteries and veins inside a human body. Aileen Victor is really a rare case. She is the only person in the world that wasn't gifted with a Guide, to add on the rarity, a core suddenly manifests in her but still without a Guide.

As the second monitor blinks to life, they adjust the scanning device closer to her to have a clear view whether the veins have manifested or not, the doctor and the nurses wish it would be the latter. If it was really just a core that is deactivate, they'll just have to retrieve it, temporarily store it and talk about it whether Aileen would still like a core or not, if she wants it then they'll try to activate the core sooner as a deactivated core usually acts like a parasite for one's life span if its kept inside for too long, if not then they'll keep it for study(of course under her agreement).

The dream monitor starts to show some imagery as well so some of the nurses started to put their attention on it. They started to watch in awe as it actually starts in a dark abyss like what the patient says. A door starts to be in sight and hands also started to appear in the screen. As what was said by Aileen, they watch her struggle with the door,

"Start trying to angle the perspective by 10 o'clock" the doctor says. It is a term they use to stop the confusion on angling the perspective of the dream monitor. The door is still closed.

"Why don't we try---"

Explosion interfered. Everyone's on the floor. Dr. Lee tried to keep his concious and checking if the patient is still there. Power has been cut off and even Terry who was outside of the operation room, has no idea of what the hell is happening and is on the floor due to the shock.

Terry enters the room through the rubble and checks on Aileen who is still unconscious.

"T-The anesthesia is still.." He opens his mouth but he can't keep talking due to the dust. Terry looks around and finally hears the chaos from outside, she rush out to look at the hallway to see a Gate.

"Ah..." she muttered in shock. She rushes in and carries Aileen on her back.

"Doctor, help yourself! It's another Gate malfunction!" She yelled as loud as she can, rushed out of the room immediately to ensure Aileen's safety, but the doctor can't hear what she was saying and the nurses are unconscious.

We're done for.

I'm an Elite and an Animal reformed but...with Aileen here who can't even move, add my incapabilities to make a fortified capsule, I can't fight the demons or close a Gate even if I want to.

"I need to find someone who can at least protect Aileen for me" but there's no one. Everyone is too busy running for their own lives with their own people to protect. Yeah, we have to take shelter first.

I don't need to feel inferior for now. I need to prioritize her survival if I don't want Rachel to kill me the moment she comes back as an Animal reform soon. And what about Alex? If it's not Rachel then he will make sure to not let me see the sun and moon again.

We finally reach outside and a lot of people have cleared the Gate that's outside so its safe.

"Anyone who can make a capsule!" I called on, a few turned to my direction but then no one step up, I was about to yell one more time but someone raised their hand.

"I specialized with barriers" he steps up and I left her in his care for now. I turn around and bite my lip.

Playing the hero? This is no joke.

Elite to the rescue? Yeah right.

I shake my head as I try to clear my head. Worry about the doctors and nurses that are in the operation room for now.

Terry runs in as she finally clears her head. She summons all the mana she can muster and forms out what seems to be a lioness at first. Her surroundings heat up that the people are forced to back away from her. Some are hesitant to send a young looking person back inside where the Gates are more denser than the ones that can be find outside, but she can't be stop due to the heat that is enveloping her.

She grunts at first out of the pain but finally rushes inside the hospital, melting some parts of the exposing metal frames from all around her.

The lioness gnaw the demons that approach her as they run inside. It is expected that the hallway that they have to take is heavy with demons and rampaging souls since, as what she saw earlier, a Gate is just peering at its corner at the other end of the hallway outside of the operating room.

She tried resting at the wall as heat really seeps in through her consciousness, nearly blacking her sigh out, but really, resting on a wall is one of her bad choices as the wall gaps on the heat that surrounds her palm and sooner got her arm on the other side. She curses as she sends her animal forward, leaving her back open but it doesn't matter, all the enemies there are temporarily done.

She enters the room and tried checking whether someone got saved or not. Well, looking at the number of people here, for sure there was no one that had the time to save them, especially considering this amount...what's worse is that she might want to use the animal to carry all of them, but she knows to herself that they'll die if she just put them on direct contact with mana.

She sighs and reverts all her mana back into her core, generating back to her normal state. She bothered herself first with the doctor, and then when she knows she can still bring another, she carries the nearest nurse and went out. Look left then right. An idea hits her head.

I can speed up if I'll enhance my legs with mana! Which she did and sped up her dash to the outside, barely getting damage from the rampaging souls and demons that see her pass by.

After spending around 30 minutes turning back and forth with the people from the operating room, she was successful in retrieving most of them but she didn't bothered with the others as the other capable people started doing what she's doing.

She sits beside the unconscious body of her friend and breaths out in relief. She looks beside and checked whether the body is still breathing...then she looks around in search of a Gate. I'm relieved that it was this easy to save her and the others that I could...but its oddly easy.
