"Talking"
"Speakers"
*Sounds*
Jail Brake
The nights silence was broken by huge thundering sound. The whole ground was shaking. All the people living in the nearest town, Lupinus Town, walked out of their houses and out on the streets in just their night clothing. "What was that terrifying noise?" A woman asked when she came out on the street only wearing her rode. "It sounded like an explosion!" A man in his pajamas said. "Holy shit! Look at that!" A teenage boy shouted as he pointed toward the mountain on the west side of the city. The whole crowd that had gathered on the street turned west, toward the mountain. What they saw was something that remained of a volcano, but without the ash smoke and lava. Instead, the upper part of the mountain was on fire. "What? How the hell did that happen?"
-|-|-|- In side of the mountain, ten minutes ago -|-|-|-
"Who's the reading on the lacrima board?" The Commander asked. "Stabile, as usual!" The man that was in charge of the lacrima board said. "Good! Keep it up!" The Commander said as he walked out of the room. "Yes sir!" The man said, giving him a salute. After the sound of the door close, the men in the security room started chatting. "So Jack, I heard you are going home next week?" The man at the lacrima board said. "Yeah, I'm going home to celebrate my baby girl's birthday. She turns six!" The man known as Jack said. "You lucky bastard! I still got three months in this shithole!" The man in the corner of the room said. "Suck to be you!" Jack laughed.
*Bip* *Bip* *Bip*. The sound of an alarm came from the lacrima board. "What now?" The man by the board said. He looked at the board, to see a red light blink on one of the lacrimas. He pushed it and a lacrima screen popped up. It had the picture of all the cells in the secret mountain prison. On the screen, there was a red blinking light. It showed a cell on floor six, section six, cell six. "That's odd. I thought we only had prisoners on the two first floors?" He said as he pushed a button. The screen switched to an overall view over the section. Everything seemed fine, except on thing. One of the cell doors was open. "Hey Jack! Come look at this!" He said. Jack walked over to him "What is it John?" He asked. "Is there supposed to be anyone at the sixth floor?" John asked Jack. "Of course not, we only have prisoners on the two first floors." Jack answered.
"Then why the hell did that door just open?" John asked. "The door was property open and a rat or something set of the alarm." Jack said. "Maybe, but someone should check it out anyway!" John said. "Well, I'm not doing it, so it's up to you." Jack said as he started walking back to his spot in the corner, but was stopped by Johns hand on his shoulder. "Wait, look!" John said and pointed at a shaft which would be an elevator shaft. "The elevator is moving!" He said, pointing at a block that would be the elevator, moving down the shaft. "There's defiantly something weird going on!" "But why? There are no prisoners down on that floor!" Jack said. "I'm calling the Commander!" John said as he pulled out his communication lacrima. "Hey Commander!" He said into the lacrima. "Yeah? What is it?" The Commander's voice answered. "There something on the sixth floor and it's in the elevator!" John reported. "The sixth floor? But there shouldn't be anyone down there!" The Commander said. "Yeah we know, but I don't think the elevator would start by itself!"
"Yeah, you're right. I'll go check it out!" The Commander said before he hangs up. "Switch the lacrima to the first elevator floor entrance," Jack said. "I want to see what it is!" John pushed the button and the screen switched. In had now the picture over the elevator door and the hallway. "There's the Commander!" John said as the Commander came into the picture.
-|-|-| With the Commander -|-|-|-
The Commander stopped not far away from the elevator door. The light over the door showed that the elevator was on the fourth floor. Third. Second. First. The door opened. To the Commanders surprise, there was acutely someone inside it. The person standing in the elevator had knee-length black hair. He was only wearing some ragged pants, letting his torso visible. His entire upper body was covered in a huge black tattoo. It went all the way from the start of his hips to the very end of his fingertips. His face was dirty, like he hadn't washed himself in like… forever. By the look of it, he was defiantly a prisoner. "Identify yourself!" The Commander ordered the man. "What were you doing on the sixth floor!?"
The man didn't answer. He just looked at him, or should I say, stared at him. "I said: what were you doing on the sixth flo…" The Commander started, but before he could finish his sentence, he felt a magical power. Before he could do anything, a black wave of magic shoots out of the elevator and passed the Commander. It took some seconds before he fell down on the ground, dead. Blood was coming out of his ears, nose, mouth, even his eyeholes. The man in the elevator stepped into the hallway and started walking the way the Commander had come from, not even taking a look at the dead Commander.
-|-|-|- Back in the security room -|-|-|-
"HOLY SHIT! DID YOU SEE THAT?!" Jack shouted in terror. He couldn't believe his eyes, neither could John. They couldn't believe that they just had witnessed the murder of their Commander. "We need to alert the others!" John said as he reached for the communication lacrima connected to all the speakers' trough out the whole prison. "I'll call the Magic Council!" Jack said as he went out of the room and headed for the Commander's office, where the communication lacrima crystal was. On the way to the office, he heard John's voice. "Listen up all guards! There's a prisoner on the loos, but don't engage him! I repeat; do not engage him! He killed the Commander without lifting a finger!"
Jack had reached the office and was searching for the communication lacrima crystal. He found it one of the desks shelves. He took it out and put it on the table. He started it up and a picture of a lady managed in the crystal. "Yes, what can I help you with?" She asked. "I need to speak to Gran Doma at once! It's an emergency!" Jack said in a hurry. "I'll put you over at once." The lady said before her picture was switched with that of Gran Doma. "What is it?" Gran said. "A man, defiantly a prisoner, has come out from a cell on the sixth floor!"
"The sixth floor?!" Garn asked with a worried face. "Not from the sixth cell in the sixth section?" "Exactly! How did you know? Is there something wrong?" Jack asked, very scared of what the leader of the Magic Council was about to say. "Listen carefully now! Get everybody out of there now!" Gran said in a very serious voice. "Then block all the entrances and initiate the self-destruction mode!" Gran ordered. "But…" Jack started, but was cut off by Grand. "That's an order! The code is 358695! Go! There's no time to loose!"
Jack did not waste any more time. He was already half way down the hallway. He ran the fastest he had ever run in his life. It took only a minute for him to reach the security room again. "John, Grand Doma order us to initiate the self-destruction. The code is 358695!" Jack shouted as he ran into the room. The sight that met him as he entered the room was something he didn't want to see. The tattooed man was there and he had John by the throat. The man turned around and looked at him with an evil smile. "Jack… help… me…" John said with a low voice, right before the man broke John's neck. The sound of the neck braking echoed in Jack's ears. He felt all his muscles weaken. He fell down on all four. If the tattooed man was here, all hope was gone.
The tattooed man tossed John's lifeless body away and walked over to Jack. Jack looked up at the man, with tears in his eyes. The man just stood there with his evil smile. Jack felt all the hope he had, leak out of him. He felt helpless and doomed. He looked up; only to see the man walk over to the lacrima board, press a button. A panel with numbers popped up. The man pushed in the numbers. 358695. The code for the self-destruction. "One minute to self-destruction." The man walked to the door, turned around one last time, only to give Jack an evil smile.
Jack couldn't do anything but sit on the floor as the countdown started. "Teen" He had never felt so weak before. "Nine" All he could think of was the look of the man's eyes. "Eight" He had never seen darker eyes. "Seven" It was like searing in the eyes of death. "Six" His mind moved over to John. "Five" He only had one week left, before he was going home to his family. "Four" His daughter was going to turn six that week. "Three" he was supposed to surprise her with his homecoming. "Two" But now she would never see her father again, thanks to that man. "One" That man had ruined everything. "Zero"
The nights silence was broken by huge thundering sound. The whole ground was shaking. The upper part of the mountain had exploded and enlighten, lightning up the night sky. As the people living in the nearest town, Lupinus Town, walked out of their houses and out on the streets, a dark figure walked further in the dark forest and disappeared into the night.
