Venio
Today is the day people all over the world has been waiting for.
The internet, the news have been booming about the spectacular experience.
The blue moon was already at it's highest peak in London.
" Wow, this is amazing!"
" Look at how blue it is."
" Sapphire moon?"
The people in London were awed.
" Breaking news,
The rare phenomenon taking place today, it's definitely as rare as a blue moon itself.
People have taken numerous photos all over the web, both normal and famous as this is a once in a lifetime experience.
The sapphire moon was first predicted by a well known renowned actor and scientist, Hilarius Wilder and discovered a method to predict the next coming of the sapphire moon..."
Meanwhile, students in cor centuria got their cameras ready and territorized designated spots to take a picture, they were excited, not for today that was founder's day but for the blue moon that will rise in the night.
In the founder's day ceremony, people from outside the school, parents, staffs, important guests like the ministry officials were coming.
Poprifus was in charge of setting everything, mostly hollering at the students doing the work. The choir and the orchestra were practicing including Andromeda who was practicing the violin.
The press club practiced their debate and other people were preparing their presentation.
The fancy canopies were set with fancy tables and chair furniture in the field and overall, it was a very busy day and Apollo Bamford was out for the meantime.
Meanwhile, Elliot, Radley and Andromeda were in a class planning on how to how to get the heart.
" You have heard of three leads right?" asked Elliot to the two.
" What is three leads?" asked Radley.
Elliot gave Radley a look " don't you know, in history class a key to that , scroll this, gem that."
" Oh yeah," replied Radley remembering the time.
" You really don't pay attention, do you?" teased Andromeda.
" I'm not a full time geek okay," replied Radley and Andromeda rolled her eyes.
" That riddle was actually a clue that Tonir Lad left out and they thought it was a poem. Andromeda do you still remember the poem?" asked Elliot.
" Hmm," Andromeda looked up in thought.
" I remember, a key to open the gate, scroll to set your fate... A gem to bring a gleaming light to reveal the truth in the dead of night."
" This is getting us somewhere," said Radley sarcastically.
" It might lead us somewhere. One time, Poprifus was in the beast forest_" said Elliot but cut off by Radley " the beast forest?" he said quite suprised.
" Yep, he was using a gadget to find the energy source and that energy source is the heart and he used the blue moon gem to track the energy source," said Elliot.
" You're right, blue moon gem receives energy and releases energy depending on it's environment," said Andromeda with a feeling she is getting somewhere.
" That means the heart is somewhere in the beast forest," said Elliot.
" He used a gadget, where will we get one?" asked Radley.
"Oh," Elliot and Andromeda said simultaneously.
" We will ask Mein, she is a tech expert," said Radley.
" Right," Elliot said and smiled.
" There is still a problem, we only have two leads," said Andromeda.
" Leave that to me,the school is with the third lead, at the archive section," said Elliot.
" The library is shut," said Radley bluntly.
" Still, leave it to me," Elliot said and went to the board.
" I will take the third lead, Andromeda tell Mein to make the tech whatever and both of you will work on it, Radley... Hold the bag with the leads wherever you go, and put it in the secret zip," said Elliot.
" Aw, what is fun in that?" asked Radley.
" Radley, you are doing the riskiest job among three of us," replied Elliot.
" Says the one who is sneaking to the library," said Radley.
" What if you get caught again?" asked Andromeda looking a bit worried.
" Don't worry, i got this besides, we have a world to save," replied Radley.
" Okay, we will meet at this place at four o'clock, let's go, make sure you do your mission," said Elliot and they went out of the classes to do their task.
Andromeda was running to the garage were the T.A club members stay.
She entered the garage to see it was empty and even the tech piles on the tables were gone.
" What?" said Andromeda voicelessly then a student came from behind her and was packing the last pile to a basket.
" Do you know where the T.A club members are?" asked Andromeda.
" There are in the auditori-"
" Thanks," Andromeda said and started running to the auditorium.
She entered inside and saw the T.A club members making something huge and in their mist Andromeda saw Mein and ran to her.
" Mein," she said.
" Hi," she turned back to say.
" Please, do you know how to make, like um, an energy tracking device?" asked Andromeda.
" Sort of, why?" Mein asked.
"I'll explain later, we need some tech to do that," said Andromeda.
" Sorry no can't do, all of them are being used to make our big hologram projector," replied Mein pointing at the thing the other club members were working on.
Andromeda saw behind her, all the club members at work using all the tech to make a huge one.
' Oh dang' Andromeda thought.
Meanwhile, Elliot went to the first years block bathroom.
There was no one there and he transformed to Cometwave and a bright light flashed in the bathroom.
" Feels good to be Cometwave again," said Cometwave when the door swung open suddenly and a boy came in and looked as shocked as Cometwave was when they made met.
The boy looked like he was dreaming and fainted on the spot.
Cometwave winced at him and sighed " really should stop transforming in bathrooms."
Meanwhile, Radley was in his dorm looking at the bag with bored eyes.
" This is lame."
Radley stood up and went to his PUI and started watching and was eating the snacks he was able to reach with his foot.
In a dark room, Agent Joyce was using her PUI and Baron came in the room sipping from his can drink.
" So sneaking in the archives ay?" said Baron and reclined on his chair.
" I'm just connecting to the bug, let's see what Apollo is up to," said Agent Joyce unblinkingly.
" How do you think that you can find the leads in there, others had no results, we should just give up," said Baron nonchalantly.
" I'm not going to give up I see a reason to give up," replied Joyce and her PUI was loading and she put on her glasses " and for me to see, I have to see from other point of view," said Joyce and grinned as her glasses lit green from the green screen on the PUI.
Cometwave flew to the roof of the building of the library invisible.
He went through the window pane and was in a part of the library's top floor, though dark.
" Okay," he said and was flying in a walking speed to a floor below him and he could see the main library from there.
Suddenly, at the end of the room, he could see a red light come closer and some electrical whirring sounds.
He quickly hid in a corner and a huge robot came to the room and was scanning the room " coast is clear." The robot left and Cometwave came out.
" What was that?" he whispered to himself.
He flew to the entrance of the main library and what he saw startled him " what the?" the library was full of similar buff robots surveying the place.
Meanwhile, Andromeda successfully managed to sneakily take the tech she needs.
" Psst, Mein," whispered Andromeda.
Mein looked back and she signaled her to come and they came to a place away from others.
" I managed to get some tech stuff," said Andromeda in a low tone.
" Andromeda, I'm busy and it's that our gp-?" asked Mein but was cut off by Andromeda.
" Can you help me?" asked Andromeda.
Mein sighed " I'm busy and i don't want someone to find out I'm gone, if not i will not be part of this presentation, sorry," said Mein and left.
Andromeda sighed, since she couldn't help her, she decided to do it herself.
She went to out of the auditorium and on her way she bumped into a orchestra director, Mrs Wolfhard.
" Oh Andromeda, I've been looking for you, you were supposed to practice the violin for the ceremony remember?" she said.
" Oh no," thought Andromeda, she was supposed to practice the violin with the other instrumentalist.
She clapped her hands " okay, let's get a move on," said Mrs Wolfhard.
" But-"
" Chop chop, we don't have time to lose," she said and took her by the hand.
" Oh no." Andromeda moaned in her mind.
In the library, Cometwave was flying away from the robots charging at him.
" Intruder. Intruder."
" Can't we discuss th-" Cometwave dodged the laser almost hitting his head and flew away while the robots continue chasing him.
" You were asked to protect the library not destroy it," said Cometwave.
" Intruder," said a robot and shot a net from it's hand and it caught Cometwave thereby electrocuting him severely.
" Intruder," the robot retracted the rope to the net and it dragged Cometwave to it.
" Okay, I've heard I'm an intruder," said Cometwave annoyed.
" Put Anomaly in temporary subjugation," said a robot to the other.
" That's not nice, i was taking it easy on you," said Cometwave and the robot electrocuted him again and he grunted " fine I'll stop talking but you will regret this."
The other robots gathered around the robot who caught the the boy.
" Facial scan," said one of the robots and the robot started scanning his face.
" Good luck with that," said Cometwave and blasted eye lasers to the robot's eyes before it finished scanning and he used eyes lasers to free himself off the net.
Cometwave flew up as the robot fell down as the started fighting the other robots.
Some of them brought their lasers and he used his speed to tie them with a rope and he used his strength to fight out the other robots who came in their numbers and in about five minutes, all of the robots were on the floor not knowing among the metal bodies on the floor lurks a bug.
Cometwave was on the flinging his wrist " you're lucky I'm not brutal if not, you'd have been in pieces. If you'd excuse me, I'm going to fetch a gem now."
Cometwave went to the corner of the library to see a metal door in the way.
" Sorry but I'm about to do some vandalism," said Cometwave and a second, the door bursted open by his punch.
He flew inside to the statue and opened the passage to the main room and he entered as the bug flew inside the split second the passage closed.
He was flying to the main room and behold, the third lead was on the platform.
He saw a security camera hiding in plain sight and blasted it to pieces and it pushed the bug off balance.
" Your not sleek Apollo," said Cometwave.
He opened the box and took the third lead, the blue moon gem and flew out of the library invisible never knowing that the bug watched his everymove.
It was around noon, Andromeda finished playing her part with the violin.
" That was very good Andromeda Ways," commented Mrs Wolfhard.
" Okay i want to go and do something," said Andromeda in haste and ran out before she could say anything.
As she was going to the dorm, she saw Radley coming out and they met at the entrance.
" Did Mein agree to help you?" asked Radley.
" Unfortunately no, but i have the tech stuff. Where is Elliot?" asked Andromeda.
" He hasn't come back yet," replied Radley.
" I'm starting to think that Elliot did not succeed in his mission," said Andromeda concerned.
" He will be fine, we need to make this quick," said Radley.
" Do you have all this screwdrivers, scissors-" asked Andromeda.
" Yes I have," said Radley.
" Then go get it," said Andromeda in haste and Radley went up to his room to get the stuff and they went to class to get started.
Cometwave dropped from the roof to the back of the library building and turned back to Elliot.
He came out successfully with the blue gem
"Yes I got it," Elliot said victoriously.
He came out of the alley but quickly put the gem in his pocket as soon as he saw Miss Donna.
" What are you doing behind the library?" she asked.
" Just looking for my symbolizer," replied Elliot and Miss Donna came to him unconvincingly.
" Always being in the wrong place, always stubborn, always breaking rules," said Miss Donna.
" Um, not every rules," replied Elliot.
" So what did you put inside your pocket?" she asked.
" It's a secret, something, embarrassing," replied Elliot quickly.
" Show it to me," she said sharply but Elliot couldn't budge.
" I won't say it again," she reached her hands for his pockets and he dodged and ran away with Miss Donna hollering.
Elliot ran to a place where he thought people might not be in, the flitsbale stadium.
He stopped and rested his hands on his knees in exhaustion.
" Elliot , what are you doing here, aren't you supposed to be with others helping out?" asked Robin as he was flying down with his hoverboard.
" I know I'm supposed to be helping but that doesn't mean you can't," replied Elliot.
" I'm a prefect, besides I have a bunch of work cut out for me when the ceremony starts," said Robin and walked to him.
" Like what?" Elliot asked.
" Watching, ushering, keeping the whole place in order. Why did you come here, are bullies chasing you?" asked Robin.
" No no no. No," retorted Elliot.
" Okay. Get outta here, you don't want Poprifus to see you not working," said Robin and stepped on his hoverboard and flew away.
About many hours later, Radley Andromeda were working on the gadget.
" Are you sure this will work?" asked Radley.
" I'm not sure, I need the gem to know that," replied Andromeda not wanting to be disturbed.
Elliot came to the class which startled them.
" Where have you been? I've been looking for you for hours," said Elliot.
" Did you get it?" asked Radley.
Elliot didn't answer but came to the table and dropped the gem and Andromeda took it with awe.
" Wow, the gem is real," said Radley.
" Of course it is," replied Elliot.
Andromeda was staring at the blue gem in her hands and Radley coughed intentionally.
" Oh right, Radley heat the iron," said Andromeda while putting the gem in the gadget and Radley plugged the iron rod to a circuit and the gem started to glow dimly.
" It works, it really is the blue gem," whispered Radley.
" The school had this the whole time, in the archives and nobody knew about it?" said Andromeda in quite disbelief.
" Yeah," replied Elliot.
" I hope it doesn't blow up while it's getting to the heart," said Elliot.
" I don't know, let work with what we have," replied Andromeda.
Radley looked at his watch " it's four hours left."
They kept quiet for a second.
" Let's pack the necessary things in Radley's bag and let's get out of here," said Elliot and they packed the things in Radley's bag and left the class.
The sun was setting and it increased the eagerness of students to go outside though the prefects sent the students to their dormitories.
People were coming from outside to attend the ceremony and got settled in their seats.
After dinner, the ceremony officially started, students were seated in a side of the canopy chatting away, visitors stayed in the middle with the ministry officials yet to come will stay at the front, the staffs stayed in the platform next to the stage and the presentators, mostly the students presenting stayed back stage.
Radley and Elliot stayed in front.
" Why is your cloak on?" asked Radley.
" I'm trying to hide from Miss Donna," replied Elliot.
" C'mon, it was about six hours ago, she will get over it," said Radley and Elliot gave him a look.
" Yeah maybe not," said Radley and looked back and saw Miss Donna sitting down and turned to the front immediately.
" This side is kinda bright," said Elliot and as the students saw the northern lights and some of them brought out their cameras.
" Put your cameras down," said one of the prefects.
The ceremony was all set, an alien girl came to the stage.
" Good evening all, ladies and gentlemen. In favor of the T.A club members, we present to you our greatest contributed project this year, a holographic projector, ai powered," said the girl and they were pushing what looked like a floodlight to the front of the stage and they turned it on and a huge hologram of a kitten playing with yarn appeared.
" Aw," said the crowd and they clapped.
Apollo was walking past the first years column making silence flood over them.
Elliot and Radley saw him, his face was looking as grim as ever.
" Here comes the big man, many will not believe that he wants to steal a powerful thing that doesn't exist," whispered Radley.
Elliot didn't answer, he just watched as Apollo sat on a chair far away from everyone.
Elliot looked at them very observantly, by the looks of them, he was sure he was up to something.
Meanwhile, at the gate. The other cars were parked before the brigde.
However, a limousine was the only vehicle that passed the brigde.
The two gate men came out of their post and the limo stopped.
The car window at the back slowly opened and the Minister, Nicholas was seen.
" Open the gate and let us in," he said.
" Please can park your car at the place before the brigde, it's the principal's orders," said one of the gate men.
Nicholas chuckled " You don't expect someone like me to be walking on a bridge and may i remind you who is a special guest or... perhaps, a higher authorities."
" Okay sir," said the gate man and opened the door and they drove in.
The other gate man gave him an elbow on the ribs " what were you doing?"
" What do you expect me to do? He is the minister. I'll call Poprifus," said the gate man and picked up the phone.
Little did they know that Agent Joyce and Baron was in the limo.
" Have you connected to the memory yet," asked Nicholas.
" No, I just need a little more time," replied Agent Joyce.
Nicholas sighed and closed the window infront of them.
Baron looked thoughtfully " will you tell Nicholas, what you saw."
Agent Joyce sighed " He will not believe, that's why I need proof but what that person or thing did made the bug glitch."
Back in the ceremony, the press club were on and were on an intriguing debate, at least for the adults.
Elliot couldn't let his eyes off Apollo as he was just sitting there.
" He doesn't seem to be doing anything," said Radley.
" He might be something he's up to," said Elliot.
" I'm starting to think he is not trying to get the heart," said Radley.
" I was right about the leads so I'm right about this one," replied Elliot when the the ministry commission swept into the ceremony and sat in the front.
The next thing Poprifus came running to Apollo.
" They are here," Poprifus whispered to Apollo.
" I know, show me the footage," said Apollo and Poprifus gave him the tablet.
They saw the videos of the robots getting attacked by a flying boy in a suit and they were shocked.
" Who is that?" whispered Poprifus.
" The ministry is not the only ones in on this," Apollo whispered to himself
Apollo looked at the ministry officials took some seconds before he spoke " the ministry is the least of our problems, check out the place," he said and Poprifus hastily left, Elliot saw this.
" Apollo sent Poprifus to do something," said Elliot.
" Chill out, we have the three leads, there is nothing they can do," said Radley and Elliot cooled down.
" When is Andromeda?" asked Elliot.
" She is at the orchestra, she will be up next," replied Radley.
The limousine was parked in a place and the Minister left the limo leaving just Agent Baron and Joyce.
The footage was successfully loaded and they watched the video.
" No way," said Baron.
Joyce smiled " This is all I need."
Baron noticed Poprifus was going somewhere and it looked suspicious to him.
Nicholas was walking and he saw a message from his phone and it was from Joyce and he saw the video of a flying boy attacking robots and saw the boy and saw when he came into the secret room and he saw the box that resembles the leads and he looked at the cameras and blasted it and it tumbled over.
Nicholas looked stunned, he had a flashback of when he cloaked figure held him and showed a picture of a comet flying from the ministry, the news of a flying comet saving lives from the ministry, the time when he escaped and he saw a flying boy battling wraiths.
At the Police force, Officer Jim Copper recieves a phone call.
" Hello?"
" It's the Minister," replied Nicholas.
" What is the emergency?" asked Officer Jim.
" It's not quite of an emergency but I need your team to do this, to survey every sector of Unity and watch out for an impending danger I think may happen and some of you should come to Cor Centuria," said the Minister.
" What danger?" asked Officer Jim.
" A kind of danger that needs all forces to stop," replied Nicholas.
" I should bring all of my team?" asked Officer Jim.
" All of them Jim, all of them," replied Nicholas.
Poprifus was walking briskly to the library and was hastily bringing out the keys and he was about to unlock the library.
" Going somewhere?" said Agent Joyce from behind him.
Poprifus jumped and looked back and Baron used a taser to electrocute him and he fell.
Agent Joyce smiled and they entered inside the library using the the key they took from him.
After the press debate, the orchestra were setting up their instruments, Nicholas sat with the rest of the ministry officials.
" Have you found anything?" asked Commissioner Elara.
" I think we are dealing with something else," replied Nicholas.
Apollo stood up went in front of the stage and took the mick.
"Good evening all," Apollo said and the crowd responded.
"I have to say this is a once in a life time and I'm glad to be around to witness it, the blue moon. More importantly, today is founder's day and today reminds us about the day the school was made, by two passionate people and they made a whole school under a day," said Apollo with a warm smile.
The crowd applauded.
" Apollo might be wondering what plan to execute next," said Elliot darkly.
" Dude he is not doing anything by just making an announcement," replied Radley.
They saw Andromeda at the orchestra stand when she gave them a nervous look but Elliot and Radley gave her an encouraging thumbs up.
" We will commence but before that, it is time for the school anthem," said Apollo.
The people turned their heads to the orchestra.
Andromeda nervously came to the middle of the stand, looked around,the whole crowd stared sliently.
The choir master gave her a sign that meant commence, she took a breath and started a splendid violin solo which left Radley and Elliot impressed, it was fast and soothing and it ended before the anthem began and when it ended, they made the loudest applause which left a smile on Andromeda's face.
"Okay, it's time to go," said Elliot and they left, also Andromeda left the stand.
They met at the back of the first years column, by then apex of the blue moon was seen by all and they were excited murmurs from all present.
" Relax people, the blue moon will be much visible by nine," said Apollo.
"Okay see what we are going to do,we are going to the corner wall of the school and pass through, beside the field make sure you're not seen especially by Poprifus okay?," said Elliot.
They looked at the corner wall.
" How can we do that without people seeing us?" asked Radley
"Right," said Elliot and was thinking.
Andromeda gazed around and saw food carts and some of them were empty.
" Here, we will use one of those," said Andromeda and they looked at it.
They managed to take one and they pushed it to the corner of the walls.
" Okay we are here, what should we do?" asked Radley.
" Hey!" yelled one of the food attendants from far.
" Go through," said Elliot and crouched down and crawled through the wall, so did they before the person looked behind the cart to see nothing " what?"
They were now in a thin passage.
"What are we supposed to do here?" asked Andromeda,the place looked new to them.
"Watch," said Elliot and the wall in front of them opened brick by brick.
Radley and Andromeda were amazed.
"Wow, how come nobody knows about this place, how come you know this place?" said Radley.
" I have my ways, got the leads?" asked Elliot.
" Sure did," replied Radley and gave the gadget to Andromeda and they passed the opened wall.
Meanwhile, the passage opened and Baron and Joyce entered inside. They were in the room and they saw the box, open.
" The lead," said Baron "we finally found it, the legends are true,"
" No," said Joyce and came closer to it and felt it " this lead is different and besides, it's just one, could it be?"
" The third lead," they said together.
While Nicholas was on his seat, he got a call through his earpod.
" What is it?" asked Nicholas.
" We found the lead but it was not the one that got stolen," replied Baron.
Elara noticed the conversation " what is it?" she asked.
Nicholas looked at her with face pale " Cor Centuria had the third lead the whole time and it just got stolen."
Meanwhile, the three were walking through the pathway and as they went, the creatures sound grew again.
"What is this place?" asked Andromeda in a low tone.
" Don't tell me it's what I think it is," said Radley trembling.
"This is the beast forest," said Elliot
"As long as you're in the pathway you're safe."
The two were still terrified.
Elliot was in front walking moodily.
He had a flashback when he saw a steep hole in the beast forest.
The three were on the search for the heart.
" I'm picking up strong signals from the west side, is it me or the gadget is getting kind of hot," said Andromeda.
" This is kinda scary," said Radley and laughed weakly.
As they walked, they saw the rays of the blue moon through the thick trees and a sudden howl that made the two jump.
They came to a place not so far from the Oliver tree though looks abandoned, Elliot knew Zyaire wasn't around.
"You see that place over there?" Elliot pointed into the thick forest behind the barrier.
"Yeah," Radley and Andromeda said
anxiously, Elliot didn't blame them,the beast forest is a scary place.
"Once we pass that twig on the floor we have to run," said Elliot.
Andromeda was look at her gadget, it was turning hot red and she let it go and it sparked severely.
The three looked at the burnt gadget to the forest.
" Okay i think you two should go now," said Elliot.
" But we went this far, why stop now?" Radley frowned.
" No, we are not gonna leave you to enter that," protested Andromeda.
" I've entered here many times," said Elliot.
" And we can help you," said Radley.
" I don't need your help," said Elliot with a rising tone and wanted to take the bag but Radley hesitated.
" Why do you think you have to be alone in this world? There is nothing you can do that we cannot do at this point," said Radley.
" Give me the bag," said Elliot grimly.
" Why can't we do it as a team?" asked Radley.
" We were never a team okay, you two wouldn't come risking you lives if i hadn't told you," Elliot yelled.
Radley looked at him and frowned slightly.
" You wouldn't have made it this far if Andromeda hadn't made a gadget to track the energy source to this place, you wouldn't have the three leads if not of us, you would have been caught if i hadn't found the scroll in the tree and held the the two others with all I've got. Why do you think we are not capable of doing this?" asked Radley.
" You wouldn't understand," replied Elliot.
" Then try us, we should be the ones to stop you from doing this Elliot but we want help because the world hangs in a balance," said Radley.
Elliot took what he said to heart.
" Fine," said Elliot.
" So what do we do?" asked Andromeda.
" We have to run in," said Elliot.
"Run?" said Andromeda trembling.
Elliot looked at her " We have to besides it was what you wanted.
Andromeda made her face serious " yeah totally," but she still felt a little scared.
"we will run in the three... two...one," They ran into the beast forest without looking back, fear made them run faster than ever before.
Elliot could see the place the steep hole supposedly was but wasn't quite certain.
Elliot and Andromeda ran to the place " stop," Elliot said and they stopped, Radley was still far behind " wait for me!" he said as he ran.
" Come on Radley."
" Hurry up!"
They both yelled as Radley kept running but Radley tripped on the way.
They both yelled "Radley!"
"It's ok," Radley stood up but fell down,his feet was dragged menacingly by a mutant gecko. Elliot wanted to run after him when a flash of blue light passed his face and it hit the gecko and it writhed on the ground and ran away, Andromeda casted a vermoe on it.
Radley limped to where they were and sat and Andromeda bent to look at his leg.
" Are you okay?" asked Andromeda.
" Kinda," Radley replied.
" What are we supposed to do here?" asked Radley and then mutants started lurking around the corner and it made their hearts jump.
" You say the heart was here!" said Andromeda looking at Elliot for a solution.
" It is," said Elliot panicking inside and pulled out the gem and it was glowing brightly.
He saw on the sandy ground a hole and bent down to scatter the sand and saw a key hole.
He flashbacked to the time he saw a bright light in the beast forest.
Elliot gasped, the mutants were now zooming towards them.
" Elliot what are we going to do?" asked Andromeda alerted.
" Give me the first lead," said Elliot and they were searching the bag and they brought out the key.
Elliot took it and pierced it into the keyhole.
" Cover your eyes," said Elliot.
The mutants were almost close to them.
" Elliot?"
" Wait," said calmly.
The mutants were almost close to them.
" Elliot!"
" First lead opens the gate!" Elliot turned the key as they closed their eyes as a giant ray of white light blasts from the spot they stayed and it chased away all the mutants beast around it.
They opened they eyes and found themselves in the beast forest in the old tunnel.
Elliot turned to them "I told you that it was dangerous."
"It's fine it only got my shoe," Radley sat feeling his foot.
"Let's move," Elliot said with an air of seriousness on his face.
They were walking through the tunnel for quite a long time until they reached a place.
"Wait here," said Elliot and started to feel the walls.
As he was feeling walls "People are probably looking at the blue moon now," Radley mumbled.
"But we are going to see a magnificent item hidden for hundred of years and have an adventure that nobody will ever have," said Andromeda to lighten him up.
Radley nodded " but no one will know about it."
" Who cares," replied Andromeda " at least it's worth it."
"Got it," the wall swung open "be careful there is a sandy slope."
They got down the sandy slope.They saw before them a statue on a platform and in front of it a boulder with a sword on top.
They all lighted their symbolizer which lit the room.
Radley's attention drew to the boulder "Wow a sword on a rock and..." Radley felt the rock and there was glitter on his hand. They were perplexed by the chamber.
"There are mysteries in this school yet to be known," said Andromeda in awe.
Elliot was before the statue "don't touch that,it will electrocute you."
"How do you know that?" Radley casting a yearning look at the sword.
"Now see what the scroll says," Elliot brought out the scroll and read aloud.
" In shadows cast by a celestial hue, seek the truth on a day as rare as the moon in blue. The heart you desire is named with a fate, bound to the centuries by the world's gate.
A cycle of time, once every age, reveals the secret to unlock the cage.
Those who yearn for what's hidden within, must decipher the riddle, where light grows thin.
Turn what is whole, and reveal what's veiled, for in its reflection, the mystery is trailed.
For those who stand for the greater good, sever the chain, cut me in half and it will be sealed.
What's is the connection, must be divided to fulfill the plan.
When cleaved in two, the greatest power beyond the dreams of man will wane, and this noble sacrifice will seal the only way free."
Elliot didn't have a clue.
While Elliot strode by to the rock to study the scroll, Andromeda studied the statue, Radley gazed at the boulder until eventually,the moon rose up and the moonlight passed through a hole in the chamber ceiling and landed on the symbol on the statue. "Wait a minute, i get it, where light grows thin," said Andromeda with face lightened.
" What do you mean?" asked Radley.
" Don't you get it? It's called a blue moon gem for a reason and it is the second lead after all," said Andromeda.
Radley and Elliot looked at each other and back at her.
" The gem receives energy," said Andromeda but they didn't have a clue.
Andromeda sighed and went towards the symbol and put the gem in the middle of the symbol and turned it over and clicking sounds emerged, the statue shifted itself and under the platform was yet another steep hole.
"Good job Andromeda," said Elliot.
" You guessed the riddle and turned the eight into an infinity symbol? That riddle is so unreliable," said Radley.
" You didn't expect it to be easy, did you?" replied Andromeda.
They came towards the hole.
"Wait," Andromeda ran up the boulder "wait..."
Andromeda pulled out the sword with ease.
"What?" Radley turned to Elliot,as if being misled. "it really electrocutes. I don't know maybe she is the chosen one for the excalibur or something," said Elliot quickly.
"Of course I'm the chosen one," said Andromeda boastfully and gave the sword a little swing.
"Eh watch the face," said Radley.
"You're just jelly," said Andromeda, Radley rolled his eyes.
"Cut it out you two," said Elliot.
This was the turning point for Elliot, Radley and Andromeda, they were going to see the heart of centuries which had been hidden for hundreds of years.
"So we have to jump in that?," said Radley reluctantly.
They looked inside,the hole looked like a void of darkness.
Andromeda took a breath "pass," she stepped back anxiously.
"C'mon we come this far," Radley grinned "we need to jump," Radley jumped in " whoo hoo," he said as the echo faded away.
Elliot jumped after him.
Andromeda stood then let an uncomfortable sigh and jumped inside.
Elliot almost fell to the floor but a force held him to land safely, also Andromeda.
They found themselves in a bigger old chamber, like a cave,most of it lit in purple light.
" Whoa, you have to see this," said Radley in awe and they came to him.
They couldn't believe their eyes,as they stood up they gazed at what many will regard as a myth,the heart of centuries.
The heart is a glowing purple crystal heart of the size of a pillow laying on a high stone pillar above a tetrahedron flight of stairs made of stone.
"So it's really heart," said Andromeda in awe.
"Duh," teased Radley.
Meanwhile Elliot was drawing closer to the heart with a warm smile on his face "the heart is real."
They were going towards the heart, clambered the rigid steps until they were staring face to face with the heart.
Radley wanted to touch the heart but Andromeda slapped it off," don't do,that you might be hurt by it."
" What, they said heart can alter reality right? Maybe we can alter it for the greater good, it's what Oliver Wit would have wanted right?" suggested Radley.
" No we can't it is dangerous, altering what already exist might have consequences," said Andromeda.
"She's right," Elliot frowned at the heart "I'm feeling the power from here it might corrupt anyone who get his or her hands on it,we have to destroy it."
They looked at each other " we have to cut it in half, just like the scroll said," said Radley.
" For the greater good," said Andromeda thoughtfully.
Elliot gave the heart one last look " we have to."
They gave way for Andromeda, she raised her sword up about to strike and if she strike, it will all be over.
As she was about to strike,a vine came out from nowhere and wrapped around her hands "What?" she gasped trying to move her arm but she didn't budge.
Elliot and Radley turned to the direction the vine came from when another vine slithered quickly to Radley's foot and wrapped around it. Radley and Andromeda got dragged away to the darkness.
Elliot heart jolted, his spun around and to his surprise vine tied his arms and legs raising him up to the air above the heart.
Elliot struggled but to no avail.
"Radley Andromeda!" Elliot cried out, he was hearing muffled sounds that seemed to be them crying for help from the darkness.
Suddenly Elliot heard loud echoing footsteps, he turned to the direction of the sound,he could see a shadow of a man who seemed to be sauntering from the back of a pillar.
"Tis tis, I never expected the mission of great was passed onto a boy," a cold voice echoed in the chamber.
The man came out of the shadows and Elliot was shocked, lt was Wilder. "But how...I thought it was... Apollo," Elliot muttered in great confusion.
"Apollo?" Wilder chuckled loudly.
" No boy,you thought wrong," Wilder wagged his finger and his face turned serious "Apollo tried to stop me."
Elliot struggled against the binding
vines
"The heart of centuries has always been my ambition to find it for years, do you know descendants who were told of you before your existence?" said Wilder and he strode over to the front of the stair and jumped high Into the platform where the heart was.
Elliot didn't have a clue of what he was talking about,he didn't believe it was Wilder who was behind-all of this but how?
" Scientia, the legends are true, a hero bound to stop impending evil and they gave it all to a human boy, how unconventional but today is just the stepping stone.
I came to Unity for a reason, I was envisioned that the time was near and he chose me to fulfilled the long lived prophecy believed by his subjects and their descendants. With the key, I had a big lead to my research about the legendary heart of centuries...,"Wilder cleared his throat an tilted his head round in an uncertain way " So sometime last year, I discovered a steep hole in the beast forest and with the key I entered there the first time and it nearly blinded me but he gave me sight, why do you think the rabtaccel came to the city grounds it's eyes are sensitive to light you see,"Wilder's voice echoed in the chamber Elliot was still struggling with the vines but stopped to that statement,so that was why the mutant almost ravaged the city,the last of it's specie gone because of him.
" I was friends with the minister to get information and in one of my visits, he warned me of a certain somebody so great, warned me of your existence but I never expected it to be a boy who got this far-clueless, then I met you that day and copied the book you had with my ring and found out you had the diary of Oliver wit but i was skeptical and I came that night to the statue of Tonir lad," said Wilder. Elliot was visualizing everything he said and it was becoming more clear,the day he met Wilder, the day he saw someone in the chamber,those red eyes.
" I went to the ministry with the power to summon wraiths to find the leads but I heard someone was coming and I had to cover myself in rubble to cover my tracks...then I saw you-those blue eyes that was how I knew that was you,the person destined for the episteme,Elliot Comet, someone chosen. Foiled my plans!
I didn't get the leads, I failed my mission many times but he said i should leave you.
He knows about you, letting curiousity get the best of you. Predicting the moon was all I needed to lure you to doing it for me... You may wonder how I got in."
Wilder's face turned into a nasty grin, Elliot frowned and struggled again.
" If you could observe, the heart of centuries was opened on founder's day and today is the blue moon,the last time it happened was in 1920,1820,1720,1620 heart was hidden in 1520 but wait! No blue moon," said Wilder, watching Elliot with dimmed eyes but Elliot didn't seem to understand.
"You don't get it do you,too clueless as ever,"mocked Wilder.
"It's called the heart of centuries for a reason, Oliver wit hid the heart on the day of the blue moon that happens once every century but we only get to see it in one of them, the moon opens the chamber...that was why I stood invisible to wait for someone, someone as curious as you are to lead me to it," Wilder chuckled.
Elliot regreted what he had done, he would have just left the heart there, now his friends are in danger.
" Oliver wit is a smart man but as for you, you're very stupid, letting your friends in your responsibility," sneered Wilder, Elliot's heart sank at this statement, he wished he didn't let his friends in on this.
Wilder sauntered around the heart and a light from the heart shone in a part of darkness and his friends was finally seen, covered in vines screaming for help under muffled tones. "Radley, Andromeda!" Elliot exclaimed and rage surged over him, he clenched his fist but he couldn't transform."You think you can stop me with your power," Wilder chuckled darkly "I will show you what is real power." He went behind the heart " it's so unfortunate your friends are victims of this event because they will meet their ends soon enough,he told you before,if you remember in your vision," Wilder's eyes shone red.
Elliot's eye's widened,his dream,the word 'venio'.
" No please stop! No! Please!" screamed Elliot.
" It's too late Comet, this day, alien kind will write this in the history books," said Wilder with his voice becoming unnatural.
Wilder held the heart and the power was flowing through his veins.
Elliot felt like a thousand volts went through him, he couldn't speak,his eyes shone white, glowing white,the power was going through Wilder and the pain was going through Elliot.
Meanwhile Wilder was undergoing vivid transformation.
His chest got infused with the heart, he was getting larger and growing scales, his pointy ears became longer,his skin became crude black and the cracks in his skin were glowing purple, his hair grew white and long,his clothes ripped and it remained short ripped pants,his hands grew big claws "yes,yes,yes," Wilder stumbled out of the platform, he was a walking abomination.
The vines let go of Elliot and he fell with a big thud and rolled down the steps.The vines let go of Radley and Andromeda and they fell as well.
They spotted Elliot, lifeless on the ground and they ran to him.
"Elliot, Elliot wake up," said Andromeda rousing Elliot but no sign of movement "oh no," Andromeda clasped her hands to her mouth "he's-dead," she choked.
Wilder swayed, the power was too much. Radley watched Elliot and he was filled with rage, he ran toward the sword on the ground, grabbed it and ran towards Wilder.
"Radley!" exclaimed Andromeda.
Wilder's ear twitched, he turned around and when Radley jumped to strike,Wilder used his hand and grabbed his whole arm "do you really think you can stop me?" Wilder used his thumb to press Radley's wrist, Radley growled in pain and let go of the sword.
A vermos was casted to Wilder's back,Wilder turned to glance at Andromeda hiding behind pillars casting vermoe.Wilder turned to Andromeda and clapped his hands at her and a sonic wave pushed her away "you're lucky you are not dead
."
Radley was hitting the sword on his leg and he kicked him away, Andromeda kept blasting vermoe until Wilder lost his patience.
"Enough of this," said Wilder annoyed and threw Radley and Andromeda away.
The statue at the upper chamber rose at the end of the chamber "I need to get more power...so I can resurrect my master," Wilder released a surge of energy that caused an earthquake.
Meanwhile, The team of Officer Jim was driving to the school where they felt a surge from the ground, they felt it again and a car tumbled over and it almost caused a severe accident.
Jim came out of the car " what was that. Oh my..."
He saw a large ray of light coming from the sky to somewhere in the beast forest.
At the ceremony, people that was once taking pictures was now panicking and holding on to whatever they got because of the earthquake.
Apollo saw the ministry officials on the floor panicking, he managed to stand to see a large ray of light from the sky to the ground surrounded by a circling storm when he witnessed it, he suddenly heard helicopters coming to that direction but losing attitude, one of them crashed. He toppled on a chair, he managed to stand again and saw the purple light getting larger.
"Oh no,"Apollo muttered in horror.
Wilder looked more powerful, he now had spikes on his body.
Radley and Andromeda looked at Wilder hopelessly, on the floor.
"If I reach my final stage I-will-be-unstoppable!" Wilder laughed.
Elliot, who was lying on the floor, suddenly woke up immediately transforming from his eyes to the rest of his body.
Out of nowhere someone dived him with speed, it was cometwave.
Wilder crashed to the wall, he was surprised to see Elliot still alive.
Cometwave rose to the air "surprised to see me?" he grinned.
Cometwave turned to Radley and Andromeda who were on the floor "run to safety I'll handle this."
They ran to a corner surprised at who they saw "is that Elliot?"
"Elliot is alive!"
Cometwave was given a punch by Wilder which sent him flying and hit a wall which cracked and he fell.
"You're no match for me,"
Wilder wiped his mouth with his wrist.Wilder ran to Cometwave, about to smash him with his fist but Cometwave sped out of the way.
Cometwave stood his ground and blasted laser from his eyes at Wilder,Wilder blocked it with his hands and was running angrily towards him, grabbed his foot and threw him into a pillar and it shattered,Cometwave fell constantly. He ran speedily around Wilder in circles, Wilder recieved punches but he stood still, his head tossed left and right until he got aggravated and roared blew Cometwave away but he held himself, his foot scrapped on the ground. Cometwave heard cheers from his friends, that distracted him,Wilder ran towards him and when he was about to fly, Wilder grabbed him, hit him on the ground like a club and tossed him away and he hit a pillar and fell, the optimism wiped off Radley and Andromeda's faces.Cometwave was weak,he tried to stand but he fell.
"In the next minute I'll be more powerful and he will rise again as a favor I owe him," Wilder was coming close to Cometwave,he dragged himself back,he used his last energy to land him a punch but Wilder held his hand and dropped him roughly.
Cometwave wanted land him a kick but Wilder held it and dropped him.
Cometwave was tired on the floor,he glanced at his friends who were at a corner looking scared.
"We need to help him," exclaimed Andromeda but Radley held her back "there is nothing we can do," said Radley firmly, Andromeda looked at Cometwave and held herself back really sad.
Wilder was watching Cometwave,with his feindish red eyes. Cometwave eyes caught the statue behind Wilder and his mind went to the scroll and an idea came to him. Cometwave thought hard, he managed to stand up.
"What do you think you'll do now human,"sneered Wilder.
"You may think I'm a clueless boy,you may think you've outsmarted me but let me tell you something you don'... Your reign will never last," said Cometwave.
"You had your chance to break the heart in half, now it's too late," Wilder said and grinned.
Cometwave chuckled " it's not the heart we need to destroy."
" What?" Wilder said as if that was the most stupid thing he had ever ever said.
" sever the chain, cut me in half and it will be sealed.
What's is the connection, must be divided to fulfill the plan," Cometwave looked straight into Wilder's eyes "that's why there is a sword for reason."
Wilder smiled " so, how are you going to do that now the heart is in my chest?"
Cometwave looked at Andromeda and by the way she looked,she understood.
Wilder laughed " how do you think you can break my heart?"
Cometwave chuckled darkly "you'll see, Andromeda now!"
Wilder turned back to see Andromeda running, he glanced at where she was running to,it was the statue.
Wilder raised his hand and summoned vines which slithered quickly towards Andromeda, Radley watched with his fingers crossed.
Andromeda ran with determination, slicing the vines that came close to her.
Wilder raged and wanted to run, Cometwave held him back and pinned him to the ground,the ground cracked. Andromeda came to the statue about to strike,she held her katana tight,raised it up and about to strike"Wait!"
She turned back to see Wilder holding Cometwave at the neck.
Wilder held out his hand "before you do this, think this through, look,"Wilder pointed up, Andromeda could see the moon,it was setting. "We still have time to get out of here, if you strike we will be stuck here...for another century. Andromeda Ways, you are a smart girl, you have a bright future ahead of you, think about it, if you do that,who will save you?
who will know where you are, think about your family,think about your friends, how will they feel? Dont think like a hero because it's pointless, nobody will remember you, nobody will remember that there were three students who fought for a heart that nobody knows exist."
Andromeda looked at Radley who looked worried,looked at comet wave who looked at her as well.
"Think about it," said Wilder.
Andromeda looked at Wilder "I've thought about it."
Wilder smiled "You thought wisely."
Andromeda turned and cut the symbol in half and it shattered like glass.
Wilder stood shocked, dropped Cometwave and knelt down.
The heart started to crack and rays of purple light came out,Wilder was fading to dust little by little.
they came closer as Wilder faded, Cometwave turned back to Elliot.
Wilder turned to Elliot and muttered "venio," and he faded completely,the heart clattered on the ground and it turned grey and it broke in half and what seemed like a smaller heart but this time a purple crystal encircled with a golden heart landed on Elliot's palm,he was right the heart was a strong hold.
They looked at each other.
"I guess we are stuck here," said Radley.
"Forever," said Andromeda hopelessly.
They stood there with their heads bowed.
A spark appeared in mid air,they looked at that direction,it sparked again and a portal was formed.
They could see the figure of a man,the man came in and to their surprise, it was Apollo.
Apollo shot a look at them,surprised and slightly furious"come with me," he spoke barely more than a whisper but they heard him and followed him to the portal relieved, anxious but relieved.
