Chapter 25
Slow
The figure remained surrounded by guard sweepers "You can't get away." An ominous voice bellowed through the speakers.
"Give it up, there's no way out." Blinx gloated.
"Hmm" The figure confirmed. Two guards grabbed his arms and a third tried to cuff him, but before he could, the figure jumped upwards and kicked the guard behind him from above, the others fired, but Blinx activated a slow reactive and pushed the figure to the floor. "Maybe you have grown."
"Shut up and follow me." Blinx snapped, his bleeding had stopped and he felt much better.
Upon the figure's choice to follow Blinx, he felt puzzled, Blinx saw his face, but seemed to have no recollection of him. The effect wore off and guards blocked an exit. Another feline slowly clapped. "Well well well." He started. "what do we have here? A deceased and a traitor."
"Get out our way." Blinx ordered.
"You have no authority to say that." The feline replied, he emerged from the guards, it was the CEO "maybe this cat had its last glass of milk."
"Last chance CEO, move out the way, or we make you" the figure next to Blinx demanded
" Okay then…" the CEO stood with bent knees, like a martial artist. "Make me."
"Rrragh!" the figure charged towards the CEO, he grabbed the figure's claws and threw him back. The CEO laughed under his breath.
"You see, your cause is more just than mine, keeping peace and all."
"What? You supply the worlds with time!" Blinx yelled
"mmhmm, and some of them have had unrefined time pumped into them, which was the exact cause of the disaster 12 B1Q64 years ago."
"What do you even get out of this?"
"Power, power only I can control."
"Shoddy deal considering you're old." The figure opposed.
"When I have full control over time, I can't age, so I AM immortal!"
"Immortal this!" The figure yelled, he activated a slow, charged at the CEO once more, but stopped in close vicinity, the CEO attempted to grab him but failed, then the figure punched him straight in the face. He then picked up Blinx and ran through the corridor, turned right and stopped, the effect wore off. He put down Blinx. "Dude, I know you might not know what's going on, but you gotta trust me."
"Why?" The figure removed his hood. His fur was white in the centre with purple round the edges, his sideburns stretched down an inch below his chin, and his eyes were emerald green.
"Because I'm Sketx, you thought I was dead, just like everyone else, but it was all just a recording, the hardest part was sneaking with the Blackfires, but that was easier than expected. But nonetheless, we have to get out of here."
