Chapter 16: The mystery of the labyrinth continues, part 2

_ Yes, I know, sister- said Josephine- although, from what you tell me, you say our parents? Well, didn't our parents' doppelgängers tell Andrei and Jaidev that Denahi and Fatima are adopted?

_ No, they do- said Iris Hauer- they do know. But Denahi and Fatima don't know about their blood siblings, it's a labyrinth, Sharon thinks she's with her real family, and she doesn't know that her blood family suffers a lot for her. Denahi and Fatima know that they are adopted children but they don't know that their blood siblings are still alive. And you and I know who they are: my husband Jayden Nathan Hauer and my brother-in-law Jaime Hauer.

_ I'm very sorry that they have to see what happens to their doppelgängers- said Michael- now that we're facing the end of the world. From what I understood, your doppelgänger didn't exist here, right Josephine?

_ No, she wasn't born, but well, I see that all my blood brothers were, and I even see that I gain more family when my parents' doubles adopted Denahi and Fatima, but it pains me that Iris and Yadir don't know who their real brothers are.

_ In due time... everything will be known - said Michael

Blossom goes with the determination to help the people in Berlin, she is worried about her husband, but even so, she decides that she must give priority to those who are in worse conditions. She is confident that the Airspace-wanderer can withstand the storm, if it was able to go out into outer space, then we can be sure that it will withstand the storm. Contact Yamal again.

_ Yes, hello?

_ Yamal, you both have to come with me, my brother and you, the registry shows it. Only 5% of its magnitude was released! And look what it caused in New York!

_ Yes, of course! Tell me where I can see them, the storm is approaching at high speed. Only 15 minutes left!

_We're right above you-said Joshua- I'll get you up with the laser beam.

Blossom activates the laser beam and gets Yamal onto the plane, as well as Joshua's truck so he can continue with the record of Berlin, which made him get out of the cockpit and get into his truck.

_Joshua, what record do you have of Berlin?

_This is impressive! It's not just a hailstorm, there are huge tornadoes forming, and also ice tornadoes

_What? Ice tornadoes?

_That's right, and they're freezing everything in their path, but there are normal tornadoes as well

They travel at maximum speed to reach Berlin, it was only a matter of milliseconds that they were able to get there. Blossom activates the laser beam to be able to get people up onto the airspace-wanderer. Its capacity rose to 600 people. Their plan was to take 600 passengers on board, take them somewhere else, and so on, hoping to save a large part of the population.

Blossom calls Joshua from the cockpit to ask how much time is left until the storm hits.

Joshua! I need you to tell us how much time we have left. Do we have enough time to save at least 30% of the population?

The storm is going to arrive earlier than expected! We only have 7 minutes.

Okay, then let's get to work!

Blossom drives the Airspace-Wanderer as best she can and they take 600 people each time. All of Berlin goes into chaos now that they find out what's coming. Blossom feels very pressured by the responsibility she took on, she doesn't think she has the ability to save almost the entire population. She manages to get 600,000 people out, the hailstones hit the Airspace-Wanderer with great force. Then, the storm unleashed all its splendor. Small tsunamis formed with the rainwater, strong normal and ice tornadoes formed, and very large hailstones fell. The few people left were desperately looking for a way to hide, but they couldn't, there was nowhere to hide. At one point, when another 600 people tried to get back on board, a very loud thunderclap destroyed one of the plane's wings.

_We're going to fall, Blossom! We have to do something! - says Joshua

_Oh my God! Jawara, why aren't you here?

Blossom tried to keep the space plane afloat, but lost control, the plane spun around a lot, hit many buildings, the hailstones kept falling on it, and since it lost one of its wings, it was almost impossible for the Airspace-wanderer to keep flying. Blossom desperately tried to fix the situation, she was flying the plane alone, she had little experience, although she learned a lot from her husband, her experience was not enough to drive without a co-pilot. An ice tornado reached them, and began to freeze the entire plane.

_This is incredible!-Yamal says- Ice tornadoes! And one already hit us! What are we going to be?

The Airspace-wanderer was very sturdy, so that gave Blossom time to fix the plane.

_I'm going to put it on autopilot to activate the resistance function-Blossom says

_What do you mean? Autopilot right now?-Yamal says scared

_Yes! If I don't do it we won't survive.

B

Lossom gets out of the cockpit to activate the Airspace-Wanderer's "resistance" function. Jawara designed the plane with the ability to withstand even giant meteor hits, but activating the resistance was still very complex.

_Guys, I need your help- says Blossom- the function that activates the resistance is down, but I need you to come with me to give me light while I activate it.

_Hey Sharon, and what position are we in now?- asks Joshua

_I don't know, but if I don't fix it, the plane is going to disintegrate, and everyone on the plane is going to die. Yamal, you calm the passengers, and your brother, my, you'll come with me.

_Whatever you say- Yamal is going to try to calm the passengers.-Passengers, listen, I know that right now is a time of great tension and fear, but believe me, that's what the Airspace-Wanderer was built for. If it could survive outer space, it will survive now.

_But in my opinion, it is not Jawara Malenfant who is driving the plane! - exclaims one of the passengers

_If that is the case, how are we going to survive?

_They are taking us to certain death!

_We better resign ourselves to the fact that we are going to die

The passengers began to complain and murmur that Jawara was not driving the space plane, but Yamal did what he could to keep them calm

_Calm down! Calm down! - says Yamal - even if Mr. Malenfant is not driving the plane at this moment, we will still get out alive, it is his wife who is driving it, and for several months he trained her to be able to drive it with total safety, so let us trust her.

On the other hand, Blossom and Joshua went down to activate the resistance function, it was like a labyrinth to find that function, it was very complex to activate

_I wonder why my brother-in-law made these functions so complex and they are not so easily visible to anyone- says Joshua thoughtfully

_My husband is very smart, he prepared in advance in case someone dared to steal it, they wouldn't steal it so easily- it took them 15 minutes to find it, until they finally found it and activated it

_We already found how to stabilize it!- says Blossom- fortunately the autopilot keeps us afloat, I will return to the cockpit, you go help Yamal. I will tell the passengers not to worry that everything is already under control

As Blossom headed to the cockpit, she began to feel very dizzy and nauseous, she believed it was because of the strong pressure she was being subjected to. She began to feel very sick, reaching the cockpit, she begins to vomit, she calls Joshua to come help her. Joshua comes running to the cockpit.

_What happened to you, Blossom? - Joshua tells her a little worried

_I don't know, I'm very dizzy and I feel very sick- Blossom answers

_Could it be that driving the Airspace-wanderer is affecting you?

_It could be, but we can't say for sure, I have to get the plane moving, since nobody knows how to fly it

_I have an idea! I'll ask the passengers if anyone has knowledge of flying a plane. So you can rest.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Joshua Dellinger speaking. I am Jawara Malenfant's brother-in-law, who was unable to come to her rescue. I would like to ask if any of you have any knowledge of how to fly a plane. My sister is feeling ill and needs someone to replace her or help her."

To the surprise of many, there was a girl named Jannally Noumair (Ariche Noumair's sister) who had basic knowledge of how to fly a plane, so she volunteered and went to help Blossom. But the situation was not over yet.

_Hello, I am Jannaly Miller, I have some knowledge of aviation.

_A pleasure, I am Blossom Malenfant, could you please be the pilot?

_Of course! I'll try

Blossom felt a little better and decided to act as co-pilot, now they had control of the Airspace-wanderer

At that moment, a strong tornado begins to attract them towards it, this tornado was sucking many houses, but it was also taking them out into outer space at the same time that it came back and took more.

_The tornado is going to kill us! - Blossom shouts

Blossom and Jannaly try to go against the wind of the tornado, but the tornado is very strong, so strong that it took 70% of the hailstones, these go straight to the Airspace-wanderer like a magnet, hitting it with great force. Blossom and Jannaly try to deflect the hailstones, but they cannot control the plane completely, fortunately, they manage to activate their space functions and they did not lose oxygen. They hadn't realized it, but they were already in outer space 237,000 km from Earth, the tornado was in outer space, it kept spinning, the hailstones melted, but they couldn't get out of the tornado, they were floating and spinning in the direction of the tornado.

_We can survive in space! - says Blossom confident in the ability of the Airspace-wanderer

_Blossom, have you seen that

The tornado has already taken us into outer space, and is it going to disintegrate us?

Blossom watches closely as the tornado is outside, this has never been seen before. A shower of meteors begin to fly towards the tornado, as they are very strong, they manage to pass through the tornado and hit the Airspace-wanderer hard.

_It can't be! - exclaims Jannaly - We have to make sure that it doesn't destroy the system that activates the oxygen.

_And how will we do that? - Blossom asks

_We are going to divert the plane every time a meteor enters

The meteors advance at high speed towards the tornado and the Airspace-wanderer, Jannaly and Blossom divert the plane from one place to another while the meteors arrive.

_Let's pretend it's like a video game - says Jannaly - only this time it's for real.

_Yes, very funny!

The meteors arrive, although they manage to divert the plane, the tornado is taking away the Airspace-wanderer's capacity, it no longer has a wing, and several functions begin to deactivate.

_We must try to get out of here! - exclaims Blossom

_Let's try! - says Jannaly

Blossom and Jannaly try to get the Airspace Wanderer out of the tornado, they tried again and again, but it was practically impossible to get it out

_I can't control the plane! - says Jannaly- Its flight functions were deactivated by the tornado.

_I will communicate this to the passengers- says Blossom

"Ladies and gentlemen, what we are seeing right now is something completely unknown to us, natural phenomena never seen before are happening, I beg you to remain calm, this plane was created to withstand this type of disaster, so we will be fine. The tornado is not going to destroy it, I will take care of finding a solution so we can get out, thank you very much in advance"

_You heard the captain, we must remain calm, he will take care of taking us safely, Mr. Malenfant's wife also knows how to be a good co-pilot- says a worried and distressed Yamal for his sister, he does not know if she is okay. But firm in the face of adversity.

This time the passengers calmed down quickly, they knew what Jawara did a year ago, and they trust that Jannaly and Blossom will take them safely to Earth. Meanwhile, Dorothy tries to save more people from the storm "Leslie", suddenly, Berlin begins to sink, a deep hole forms due to so much hail and sinks.

_Berlin is sinking! - says Iris - Will another hole of shadows form?

Dorothy drives the Fast Sea Car at high speed, at that moment, something surprising happens, the car begins to fly.

_You never told me that the car flew! - says Iris surprised

_There is much more! We must get out of here! Look! - The storm begins to form many tornadoes, the hail that fell to the ground begins to unify and form tornadoes of fire, they burn everything in their path, they rise to the sky and disappear, but they leave in doubt if they will form again later. The sky turns scarlet red, it shook very strongly and swirls of fire formed in the sky.

Dorothy drives the Fast Sea Car into outer space in order to help the Airspace-wanderer save himself.

_Wait Dorothy! Can this thing fly in outer space? - Iris looks shocked and scared.

_Yes! The interview is not over, but it can fly in space, press the green button on your right - Iris presses the button somewhat doubtfully - now we have oxygen and nothing will happen to us in space. You will have the opportunity to see outer space!

Dorothy arrives where the tornado is in space, without thinking of a plan, she makes the car run in the opposite direction to how the tornado spins. In a short time she disintegrates it and the Airspace-wanderer manages to be safe. Now, Jannaly and Blossom can maneuver the plane again, the Fast Sea Car disappears quickly.

_Look! - said Jannaly - the tornado is gone, how did it disintegrate?

Dorothy lands at high speed on Earth in southern Germany, Iris is shocked by what she just saw, she takes many photos and quickly writes a draft to later publish it in the news.

_Thank you very much for your help, and thank you for saving my brother, and all those people, and thank you for helping me too.

_You're welcome Iris, you must promise me that you won't tell anyone about the Fast Sea Car

_But why? I have an article to publish, and the world will know about what you did, you helped many people, you saved the Airspace-wanderer. How is it possible that you now tell me not to say anything if you allowed me to interview you?

_Iris, I beg you- Dorothy looks worried- I give you the opportunity to talk about my project, but don't tell anyone that it can fly and it can fly in space.

_I don't understand, but remember I'm a reporter, so I'm going to report every detail of what happened today, including the Fast Sea Car.

_Please, Iris. Be a good friend.

_A good friend?

_Yes, believe me, you'll succeed

more than you can imagine if you keep the secret

_Okay, but with one condition: if we need you another time, come help us, I wouldn't doubt that another natural disaster would appear, especially now before the end of the world, and you will do it using your car even if it is with the functions that you told me in the interview, this is so confusing, it is a mysterious labyrinth.-Iris feels confused and afraid of what happened.-Let's go, okay?

_Of course! With pleasure

_Iris!-Yamal manages to contact his sister- Are you okay? Did anything happen to you?

_Yamal? Yes brother, I'm fine. A girl who created an innovative car-Iris pauses and looks at Dorothy, who begs her with her eyes not to say anything- that can run at 5,000 km per hour and got me out of the storm in time. I'm here in the south of Germany.

_Oh, that's great Iris, Jawara must take care of her- she starts laughing- Wait, a car that can run at 5,000 km per hour? That's impressive! But there's something you have to know, the storm Leslie started from New York, but the worst part was that Jawara had a car accident, she received many blows from the hail on her body and is now in the hospital. And Yadir, is still in the hospital.

_What! How? Is he okay? And what about Jawara?- Iris looks a bit worried and distressed

_I don't know, little sister, but I'll go there as soon as I get to Earth

_To Earth?- Iris asks pretending she doesn't know anything

_Yes, a mysterious tornado took us to outer space, but suddenly it dissipated and we're already on our way to Earth, although since the Airspace-wanderer suffered more damage this time, it will take us longer to get there, like 8 hours.

_Oh for heaven's sake!

_But as soon as I get there, I'll go get you and we'll go to the United States together to see Yadir

_No, wait. I'd rather get to the United States on my own, first I have to do more research on this impressive storm that formed to publish my article. Better tell me which hospital Yadir is in and I'll see you later.

Yamal gives the name and address of the hospital to Iris, she had a great idea to get to the hospital quickly

_Dorothy, please, could you take me to the United States to see how my brother is?

_Yes, of course, get in

Dorothy does something impressive again: she starts the car at 25,000 km per hour while running over the Atlantic Ocean

_Hey! What are you doing now? Now it turns out that the car can run on water? - Iris looks more shocked and more eager to publish that news.

_Yes! I trust you won't say anything, you know it's a submarine, but don't mention any of this to anyone.

They arrive in New York at the hospital where Yadir is, they go to the room where he is, Iris sees that her brother has many bruises, he is unconscious, the powerful storm had left him like that. She takes him by the hand and gives him a kiss on the forehead.

_Little brother, don't go, okay? I need you to be okay, I don't know what's happening in the world, but I trust that we will find the way out of this labyrinth.

_You'll be okay, survive and don't give up-Dorothy looks at Yadir, and deep inside, she feels attracted to him. -Keep your promise Iris- Dorothy leaves the hospital, Iris is somewhat confused when she sees Dorothy, her behavior seems strange, her way of speaking, of communicating, the fact that she begged her not to reveal anything she already knows, makes her doubts grow. Iris stays with her brother in the hospital waiting for him to wake up.

On the other hand, Jannaly and Blossom drive the Airspace-wanderer, it goes at a very low speed due to the severe damage caused by the tornado, Blossom is very scared now, if the tornado had not dissipated, everyone on the Airspace-wanderer would have died. There is more confusion than ever, all of Berlin disappeared, as did New York, millions of people died, the world is now collapsing in shock. What part of the world is next? What can we expect now? Natural disasters are causing a lot of panic. Many people around the world are committing suicide due to the terrible fear they feel, many people are holding banners spreading the word that the end of the world has already arrived. Blossom is devastated, she wanted to save more people, but the storm was very powerful and everything got out of hand, she couldn't do anything to escape the tornado, she did everything she could to get out, but it was thanks to Dorothy that they survived. This is a maze, and the maze continues its course.

In the United States, the power was still out, but in a mysterious way, the power came back on, and that was shortly after Dorothy left the hospital where Yadir is.

Upon arriving in the United States, Blossom begins to feel dizzy and nauseous again. What is the reason?
