An Up-Rise

Chapter 9: An Up-rise

The after event was catastrophic, destroyed building, broken roads. Minutes after defeating the creatures ambulances, polices, helicopters came to help the civilian, and the helicopters hovered in the sky while other search the buildings for survivors. There were more than forty deaths, fifty severely injured and eighty with minor injurie. Everyone who was hardly hurt thank God they survived pass the worse incident they have ever faced in their lives, other cried and searched for their loved ones. Soon the twelve formed up with each other and observed everyone, the tried their best but looking at the scene before them they weren't satisfied and thought they could have done more. As they stood there Felix then approached and looked in the same direction as them, they didn't notice him since they were lost in their own thoughts and he walked so quietly. Leo then noticed him and walked over to him tapping him on the shoulder, Felix then brushed him off and acknowledge the others and told them they did a good job.

They looked at the people crying, people shouting and looking for anyone who might have gotten caught underneath during the incident. People being loaded into the ambulances and other being zipped in body bags.

"Did we really help", Sasha asked with pity. They looked and her but stayed quiet.

"Of course we helped, if it weren't for us maybe everyone would've died", Leo answered as if he wasn't shaken by what just happened. They only looked at him, before anyone could answer they heard a voice.

"Thank you", a young girl waved with a smile, Simon realized it was the girl he saved earlier, and the more and more thanks could be heard. Anyone who had the strength shouted "Thank you", while for those who couldn't speak lifted their hand into the air and for those couldn't do anything were surely giving thanks from their thoughts, they stopped what they were doing for a minute to acknowledge the people who saved their lives, tears came running down Oliver's face as he had felt the praise from his heart and Sasha was crying alongside him. Simon then held his hand to the air and made a fist soon after the others did so one after another and they all did and Felix observed with his hand behind him and could tell the people viewed them as Heroes.

"Let's go", Felix ordered.

They then followed Felix as they held onto one another for support as they walked and boarded the helicopter that was waiting for them. Felix then spoke over a microphone telling the pilot there ready. Soon the helicopters lifted from the ground taking off, in front there were eight helicopters carrying two large containers possible the creatures they just defeated, they continued and waited for landing so they could rest properly. About after two hours and half of flying they reached the building they were staying, they got escorted to a medical room for treatment and Felix carried the creatures to somewhere else. In the medical room no one was badly damage except Simon who had burns, the others only had minor injuries and only needed rest, except for Leo who was unharmed. After another hour of treatment they went back to their room and rest their bodies.

Felix carried the creature's deep underground and locked them there. The creatures were both bonded and place into separate tank that contained liquid and they could be seen from the outside. Felix then took one last look at the creatures before leaving and ceiling the doors shut. He then went back to the surface and monitored the cameras and everyone was resting. The next day arrived and they felt better even Simon's wounds were healed. They were having breakfast went Felix walked in and asked how they were feeling and they all responded that they were fine. Felix then checked on Simon who wasn't wearing any bandages, he looked closely and question why he wasn't wearing any bandage. Simon lifted his shirt and showed that he was healed, they were all surprised and then noticed that all their scars were gone too as they removed their bandages. Felix the hypothesize that due to the new changes that has been added to the human body it could now heal on its own possibly because of the robotic abilities they now possessed. Felix gazed away zoning in the distant coming up with multiple scenarios and hypothesis in his head.

"I wonder how long it would take to recover a limb", he whispered under his breath with knowing. Everyone froze and all eyes were on him, as if he felt the presence he was taken away from his thoughts.

"Why you all staring at me?" Felix asked with his eyebrows knitted together and the look of puzzlement on his face. But they all stayed quiet before someone breaking the silence.

"So, what did you do with the creature?" Leo asked.

"You need not to know, but I will say that they are fully secured".

While they were eating someone came in and delivered that they were on the news, Felix then touched the watch looking object on his hand and watch the news as they spoke about the extraordinary individuals who saved many lives.

"Yesterday about 12:35 am the most unusual incident happened as many people died and were injured, some unknown creatures appear in a glowing spherical ball and reeked havoc in Layxin City. As it would seem that no one could've helped the people twelve magnificent individuals appeared and saved the day, it would seem that they possess the unknown abilities that started appearing worldwide, they used their abilities so expertly as people wonder if they're working with the government even though they held a meeting recently confirming that the twelve people who helped wasn't theirs. Even though this was explained some still questioned if they're telling the truth. To recover the area that was damage caused will cost thousand or possibly millions of dollars, the people of Layxin City lost a lot and still grieving for their love ones. We send our condolences to them, we'll keep you updated with what's happening. My name is May-", before the reporter could finish her report Felix closed the news.

The room was quiet as they ate slowly Felix then reassured them that they needed not to worry and he would sort everything out. The days passed and repair were still being done to the city, if having to deal with the occurrence that happened recently wasn't enough another problem made its way onto the list. The incidence that happened in Layxin city made its way worldwide and people were inspired to be heroes and followed in their footsteps. Since the government confirmed that the twelve weren't under their direction people thought that they were self-taught and did it as a group with their own accordance. People were now solving problems on their own and using their robotic power in the name of good and self-desires, for those who had the robotic power used it selfish desires as they started attempting criminals acts and the other used their abilities to stop them. Things were now spiraling out of control and became unmanageable, within a short time a law was passed. The penalty for breaking the new law would be drastic anyone who was caught using their robotic power will placed into jail and would have to pay a hefty price.

Most people couldn't manage the punishment that they would face if they were caught breaking the law and so the obeyed, not everyone obeyed as there were still a few who lived with the idea of being a hero and thought they were following the twelve people they saw. Felix skipped pass multiple reports that flooded the internet as he didn't expected things to turn down this lane, he then closed the news and faced everyone and then left without a word. Felix decided that he had to say something to the public without revealing anything, if he was to say that he was a self-organized group others may take up the idea and do this the either or destroy, he didn't want to give ideas even with the possibility that it has already started and so he had to approach the issue carefully, but he had to leave that for another time since he had a different problem at hand. He continued walking until he reached a dead end, he placed his hand on a specified part on the wall then looked very closely at the wall as a small window opened scanning his iris. The wall the opened an opening that looked like a door and Felix entered, he travel for about five minutes before reaching his destination that was more than a hundred floors deep. He steadily walked and eventually reached a large iron door that was heavily barricaded, opening it wasn't easy as it took more than a minutes of scanning. Felix had to scan his body, hair, iris, voice and provide a blood sample, entering this place wasn't easy.
