Here's the eleventh chapter. Last time, Miku had a weird time with Master. What was that all about? We'll see. Enjoy. ^-^
Ch.11
It has been hours since I last seen anyone else come into my room. Master hasn't come in to give me my dinner nor did any of the shadows. I was even surprised TEC hasn't called me yet. It really has been a while of me doing nothing at all.
Well, that was kinda false. I was thinking a lot about what Master was going to do with me and how I wasn't even responding to stopping him. It has been hours but still, I could feel his presence in here. It was so creepy.
Suddenly, the door opened. I looked towards the door to see if someone had come in but no one showed their face, meaning it was TEC calling me in. Thus, I made my way to the door, hoping I won't get caught by Master again.
"Yes, TEC? Have you found something out?" I said as I entered the room.
"Oh, Miku. Hello again," TEC said. "And I have found something interesting among all these files."
"You wouldn't mind telling me?"
"Well, it says that a certain box holds the key to take over the world. That's the legendary treasure."
I hesitated. "So, the small box I used to have was really a treasure I never knew about? So, that's why Master was so into getting his hands on that box. But it only has a poem inside. How can that help someone in taking over the world?"
"I'm not sure but it says that whatever is inside the box can be used to control the whole world."
I bit my lip. "Then this is not good. Not good at all. Here I thought it was just any simple poem but it's actually a weapon of disaster. Oh, TEC. Now I'm worried. Do you have any idea where the box could be at this moment?"
"It's heading to where you are."
"Here? But..." Just then, my friends came into view. Have they been able to get a hold of the box? Were they the ones heading this way with the box in hand?
"Oh no..."
"Miku?"
"TEC, I think my friends have the box. I think they have it and are heading this way."
Silence.
"I'm sure that's the cause," he said.
"TEC, this is not good! I can't have my friends come over here and get themselves into the same mess as I am. These shadows and guards are really powerful, I think, and I know my friends won't stand a chance against them. I don't want them to come. I don't," I said.
"But didn't you want to get out of here? Your friends are coming to save you."
"But now knowing everything about the box and Master's plan, I don't want anyone to come save me. I want to escape myself."
"Miku, you'll get hurt if you try at it alone."
"And that's why I have you, right?"
Silence.
"You promised me you would help me escape, right? Then help me now. I want to get out now," I said.
TEC sighed. "I understand. However, it's not as simple as it seems. Apparently, the security has gotten tighter in this place, making it impossible for you to move around. It might get to the point where you won't be able to get in here to see me anymore."
"Then let's act quick before it gets to that point. I want to see you, TEC. I can't leave you..." Then an idea came into my head. "TEC, is it possible that I can help you escape as well?"
"Help me escape? There's no need for that."
"But you helped me all this time. You're like me in a sense. You're being held here for no reason at all. No one pays attention to you except me. You should escape with me. I can take you with me."
"I'm serious, Miku. There is no reason for that. I'm fine."
"TEC..."
""World is Mine.""
"No!" I held onto my head as those familiar words rang through my head.
""World is Mine.""
"Miku, what's wrong? Are you-" TEC said but got interrupted by some crashing sounds of glasses breaking. "Damn it!" Then TEC shut off.
"TEC! Don't leave me alone! Please!" I cried as the words continued to rampage my mind.
""World is Mine.""
""World is Mine.""
""World is Mine.""
I kneeled down as the world around me began to go tops and turvy. TEC's screen was turning black and melting away. The ceiling was falling down on me, and black water was drowning me all over. Why is this happening to me again?
'Our box is getting disturbed.'
I lost control of my body and appeared in a white place with nothing to be found. The exact same place I was whenever the same thing happened to me last time.
It's you again.
'Your Alter Ego.'
From my eyes which now belonged to Alter Ego's, I could see the world back to normal. Alter Ego looked down to her hands for me to see that they were covered in the same black gloves as before. A staff was held on one hand. Then Alter Ego looked up to TEC's blank screen that helped me see completely how I, well, my Alter Ego looked like:
Exactly like me except with a long, beautiful black dress, black gloves, and a black neck collar with a blue emerald in the middle.
Why are you taking over me again?
'Were you not paying attention? Our box has been disturbed. We need to get out of here and get the box.'
But-
Alter Ego frowned at our own reflection and took down my two ponytails and made our hair up in a fancy decorated hair bun with two strands of hair sticking out from the sides of my face.
'Much better.'
Alter Ego walked out of the room and headed towards the elevator.
How are you going to open it?
'I have magic, duh.'
Alter Ego used her staff to break the lock and get the elevator to open for us. She walked inside the elevator and rode it to the top floor.
That wasn't magic.
'Psh! I can't believe you couldn't just do it yourself. Do you realize how much time you wasted in here?'
I still don't understand anything about you.
'I'm your Alter Ego. That's all you need to know. I can handle the rest.'
If you could, why didn't you took over me in the first place?
'Because the box was not being disturbed. It was under good care until you were able to get out of here. However, some vile beasts have tried to get their hands on it. We cannot allow that to happen.'
We reached the first floor, only to find ourselves with the control panel and a few, or rather, a bunch of weird-looking guards who jerked their heads straight towards us.
Good job, Emo Miku. You came uninvited to this party.
'Hmph! These are nothing.'
Alter Ego dashed towards the middle of the room where all the guards were beginning to gather around us. They all shot their weapons at us in a menacing way.
What now?
Alter Ego raised her staff and began to say an unknown verse. With that, I noticed the staff growing a blue electrical pulse at the tip of it. Alter Ego then swept the floor with the staff and the electrical pulse traveled through the floor and to the guards, electrifying them and turning them into ashes.
Wow! That was amazing!
'That was just too easy.'
Alter Ego held her staff close to her and looked around. I was surprised Master was nowhere to be found. He was usually here or maybe in his room. But then again, he would've showed his face once he heard our intrusion.
'We need to get out of here.'
Alter Ego turned to the exit and dashed towards it. However, a force field immediately placed itself between us and the door. Then an arrow of fire flew just a mere centimeters from our face and landed on the floor below. Alter Ego turned around and there were a few more guards with fire arrows aiming straight at us.
I yelped but my Alter Ego didn't even hesitate.
The alarm went off, making the room turn red. The guards were ready to attack us.
'Once we get the arrows towards us, we'll run for them and attack.'
What? You can't be serious. You can't possible be able to-
"Fire!" the guards shouted as they all shot their flaming arrows towards us.
We're doomed!
Alter Ego smiled and dashed between each arrow as it was nothing. She got us over to the guards without a scratch. She smiled to them and created a ball of blue fire on her hand.
"Good night, creatures!" Alter Ego said as she attacked every guards and made them into ashes.
'See how easy it is?'
I don't have powers, you know that, right?
Alter Ego giggled and went to the door once more. She focused some magic into her staff and used it to break the force field in a snap.
You really are something.
'I don't like to show off.'
Alter Ego opened the door and I could feel the outside wind blow across our face. Freedom at last. This is what I've wanted all along. I was going to get out of here. Before, I thought my Alter Ego was an ass but she really just wanted to get out of here as much as I wanted to. Plus, she wanted to make sure the box wasn't getting into the wrong hands. She had the same mission I did except she was the one to actually do something while I just layed in bed, pathetically. I really admired my Alter Ego.
But then, TEC came in between all these thoughts. He was the one who has given me information about everything of my whereabouts. He was the one who I had to to talk about anything I wanted to talk about. He was the one who became my only true friend in this horrible place. He was the one who promised me to get me out of here. And now that I'm about to, shouldn't I bring him with me?
Alter Ego...
'Yes?'
We can't leave yet.
'Why not?'
I need to bring my friend with me.
'Your friend?'
TEC.
'Are you crazy? We can't bring along some piece of machinery. We have to go now.'
But I can't just leave him here. He was the one who's been with me this whole time.
'He's nothing but a computer.'
He's more than that! He's my friend.
'You really are pathetic.'
"Where do you think you're going, my dear?"
Alter Ego turned around to see Master standing there with a special kind of gun pointing at us. Alter Ego growled and pointed her staff to him.
"Miku, why are you trying to get out of here?" Master said. "Didn't I told you not to?"
"I can leave whenever I want," Alter Ego said.
Master narrowed his eyes. "I see. The same thing is happening to you again, Miku. What a shame. Please do come back and I will help you get that dark side away from you."
Alter Ego hissed and charged an attack towards Master. "I will not abide any orders you give me."
"My, my. Such foal mouth you have there, dark one. Don't worry, Miku. I will save you."
Alter Ego shot the pulse she had towards Master who just stood there as the attack hit him.
Master! He didn't even try to move!
"Weak as ever," Alter Ego said as she placed her staff down and turned back to the door.
Just when all seems well, we felt something struck us behind. A small arrow was injected in our backs and I could feel liquid flowing through me.
What's this?
'Damn it!'
"I said you weren't going to get out of here," Master said.
Alter Ego turned around and growled. She began to charge another attack.
However...
I'm beginning to feel a bit dizzy.
'Damn it! He injected us with something.'
Our vision were beginning to get blurry but Alter Ego kept herself up.
"I will not...be brought down!" she hissed and continued with the charging.
Master frowned and shot us another arrow. Alter Ego was brought down to her knees from how much poison we were getting. She used her staff to keep her up straight.
"I won't...fall...yet..." she said and aimed the staff at Master.
Alter Ego...I'm losing...conscious...
Master shook his head in disbelief and shot us another arrow. Once we got hit, I blacked out.
'This is all your fault...'
Miku's Alter Ego has returned too kick some butt. The two were so close to getting out of there but Master had to show up. Is it just me or does he always shows up at the wrong time? Damn you, Master!
So, here is to all of my readers. I'm entering college soon so I won't be able to post much chapter as I wanted. I might have some time tomorrow since I'm moving in and maybe some time next week. But I apologize in advance for not getting some chapter as fast I could've. My first time in college and I'm getting a bit nervous and excited. Wish me luck you guys. I love you all.
Tune in for more and please review. Thank you. ^-^
