The Tattoo Alchemist Ch. 8- Sandy Found, Justin Captured

Climbing over rocks and dust but he made it half way up the mountain when he saw a cave a little ways up from where he was he started to climb again determined to find Sandy no matter what the cost. He climbed up the rocks until he was a few feet away then one of the rocks broke and he fell halfway down the mountain onto a ledge. He was bleeding badly but he still moved on. He started climbing again. Higher and higher until he was within sight of the cave once again. He had just reached the cave when he got very tired. He could barely get up but when he did he rolled over on his back and was breathing very heavily. He got up after about ten minutes to find a three metal bars sticking out of the ground. He pulled one up and transmuted two of the bars into a sword. He made the last bar into a sheath with a metal chain. He wrapped the chain around his chest to latch around his side to make the sword hold it's self on his back where he could easily pull it out. In the making of this weapon he had forgotten that the cave was behind him. Then, all of a sudden he heard a loud scream come from inside the cave but when he went in he was knocked unconscious from behind.

When he awoke he found that he was in the middle of a gray box that was built a little higher than the rest of the floor. Then in front of him he saw Sandy lying in the middle of a circle on a bed. Justin went to run to her but was stopped as soon as he got to the edge of the square he was standing on by an impenetrable electricity field. His sword was still on his back. He couldn't escape. He pulled out his sword and swung but when he did this the electricity traveled through the sword and electrocuted him badly enough that he fell to his knees dropping his sword. He felt like crying out in pain but couldn't bring himself to shed a tear for his own pain. Then he got a stroke of genius he put his hands on the ground to use alchemy but as soon as he attempted to use it electricity shot up through his hands and got him again. He fell to the ground completely this time totally drained of his energy. But just as he started to give up he remembered all the times he spent with Sandy and for once… his mother. The star was the same so she had to be taken by the same people and with this new found motive he got up, his body still tired, and stood a little shaky. Just then a man came in the room and introduced himself as Nor of the North area Star Twilight Gang. He explained that he had built that containment center for hard to beat alchemist like Justin. It was then that Justin recognized the circle Sandy was lying in. it was a Transmutation circle.
