All I can feel is how hard I'm breathing right now. My lungs have a burning, lingering pain that refuses to subside. So, so, incredibly painful. However, I push onwards!
My feet clash against the hard, smooth floor, and my eyesight blurs. I need to get out of here!
This is no safe place for me or my companion.
I run frantically to the glowing white lift, and I make an attempt to focus my sights on there.
The grip on my bag tightens. I can still hear the faint echoes of footsteps behind me, and it's easy to tell that they're nearing. Soon I am standing on the platform, and I find myself in front of a series of buttons. Numbers that connect to various places above and below.
Click, click….
I input the number for the top floor.
The paradise above should be fine...
Soon, the elevator sends me up above, to where I can see the beautiful night sky. I nearly collapse as I let my body relax a small bit. It seems my physical capabilities don't match my drive, but I need to keep going. Not for my sake alone...
The dense humidity of the lush forest is not comforting at all. Rather, it gives a pressure and a feeling of claustrophobia beyond any reasonable measure. All meshing together into this plastic garden I am all too familiar with.
Walking just the bit forward on the snow-white pathway, I hear footsteps from behind. My head swivels to the sudden arrival.
Not them! I thought- I thought I got away from them...!
Members of the foundation, dressed in a kind of ethereal, glowing white that stains my vision. It's difficult to forget what kind of things they have done- all for the purpose of being a 'savior' to the world. Rhinestone promises they gave. I couldn't dare ever letting go of the pain they would put my only friend through. That's why I decided to whisk them away. It's how I ended up right here, right now.
Stealing wouldn't be the correct term for it. I just could never bear seeing my partner hurt again. Hurt and stressed- and so, incredibly frightened.
My pulse quickens, echoing loudly. I turn a corner. They're chasing after me- but I can't let them take my dear companion away! Never, ever, will I allow them to hurt my friend ever again!
An opportunity! I turn another corner, in hopes of losing their trail...
However, I am soon met with another one of them. Of course I would!
Gah! What do I do now...?
I turn behind me, and they're still chasing me...
Where do I go?
A sky blue light suddenly emanates from my bag. Massive chunks of bright light soon follow, and I'm suddenly surrounded by it. An almost perfectly spherical shape of pure color surrounds me, and I have just the smallest inkling of what is happening.
Nebby... You're using your power, aren't you...
"Wait!"
Can't... hold on...
Losing... consciousness...
