This took a while. I decided it might be fun to try, so here's Seto's POV. So... just read it.
Characters:
Seto (POV)
Everyone else
Cal
Someone who shall be named later...
We had been sitting in silence for a while now. The clock read 6:45; it had been 23 minutes since Megan revealed that her uncle started this apocalypse.
We were heading straight for the extreme hills biome in a cloud of quietness. I looked in the mirror above my head to see the people in the back laughing and having a blast.
"Uh," I spoke up, "Where are we going exactly?"
"The only way we really can go. We're going to LA," she told me.
Captain spoke up, "And where would this 'LA' place be?"
"Well, it's also known as Omega L, but either way, it's in the West," she announced, pointing towards the extreme hills, "Right over the Rockies."
"The Rockies?" I questioned.
"Yeah. The mountain range in front of us is called the Rockies."
Jerome started laughing, "So you're telling us that, of all names, they were named the Rockies? Wow. Sooo original."
She shrugged, "Don't ask me why, though. History wasn't my best subject. Or science."
"So how long..." I got cut short by the device she had used three times now. It was beaming out a strange combo of clicks and beeps.
She reached into her back pocket and pulled it out. After she swiped around on it a bit, she dropped it and started turning around. It took a while; this car appeared to turn in a poor radius.
I reached onto the floor and grabbed it. The screen was still glowing. Some sort of chat was pulled up on the screen. I read the last message:
"Come help. Meet ur bro and I in o.d. I wil call u soon 2 tel u place. Sorry about using his fone to txt u but we need help."
I looked up to the top of the screen. It read "Cal" on the top. Perhaps the other person in the chat was named Cal. The last message must have been someone else, though.
"Uh, where are we going now? This isn't 'West'," Bajan pointed out.
Megan turned on the clicking noise again and turned right, "I need to take care of something."
~~37 and a half minutes later~~
We passed under two roads suspended high above this one. Buildings started to appear in the distance. A sign had the word "Denver" with three arrows below it, each pointing to a lane. We were currently sitting in silence.
Captain was messing with some sort of mechanism on one of the windows in the back. He pulled on it, then pushed forward and it opened.
"... to choose a rake of all things?" Sky asked from the back of the car.
"Well, it looks like it could hurt..." Ssundee told him, "But why are you asking me? He chose a weird rod-thing with a metal ball thingy on the end!"
Megan cleared her throat, "It's called a Driver! And they hurt!"
TrueMU, startled by the feedback, pointed his finger at Ssundee, "See? It is a good weapon!"
"So is Ssundee's!" Megan yelled back.
While the people in the back argued about weapons, I ran through the fake names we gave everyone.
Sky and Jerome are the same, I'm Steven, but I go by Seto, TrueMU is Jared, Deadlox is Tyson, Ant is Andrew, Captain is... Will? No, he's Sam. Will and Chris are Bajan and Ssundee, but which is which? I think Ssundee is a good Will. I'll call him Will, I thought.
"Hey, Bajan," I turned around to face him, "Which name do you like better: Chris or Will?"
"Uh, Chris. It actually sounds like a name and not something like I will go and do this," he replied.
Well that's settled.
Just then, her phone started beaming out an edited version of Captain's song "Revenge". She slid her finger to the right of the device, which I think was called a phone, and started talking into it.
"Hello? Who's this?... Oh. Okay. So where are you guys?... There?... Okay... So at the bottom?... Okay. Expect us there in..." She looked at the clock, "Well about 7:30. 'Kay, bye."
She tapped on the phone and threw it back into her pocket.
"And what was that about?" Bajan asked.
"My brother. Some girl found him breathing, so that's good."
"Oh..." I sighed.
"What? Is that bad?" She accused me.
I stiffened up, "No! Not at all! I was just thinking to myself!"
"Okay."
I wasn't thinking to myself, though. There was a reason I didn't want that to be the case. Since they needed help, it was only reasonable that he was dieing and he needed help.
After a few minutes, she made the car start clicking again and turned to the left, then right, and into an empty lot, except for a few cars. Several towers stretched up into the orange sky. A building ahead read "Elitch Gardens" with a few things below it.
She pulled up onto the sidewalk and put the car in park. Quickly, she jumped out and so did I soon after. Captain opened up his door and the three in the back seat piled out of the car. The people in the back end had jumped out right before.
Starting to sprint, she led us up to some gates and jumped over them. I ran into the bar below. It hurt, but it swung open. I never was the best at parkour.
Continuing we ran towards a giant wheel. She ran beside it and jumped a bar. I failed again, and this time, the bar didn't move. In pain, I slid under the low bar and through the maze of other bars until I got to the base of the wheel.
"Great! You're here! Oh, and you brought some people to help!" A girl yelled from the bucket thing hanging from the wheel at the bottom.
Megan grabbed Jerome and told him to do something with what looked to be a control panel. Soon after, she grabbed Bajan's wrist and mine and pulled us into the bucket. We slowly started lifting up into the air.
"Wow!" Bajan looked over the edge, "A working Ferris Wheel! How'd you guys manage that?"
"Tell ya later," Megan told him.
The other girl lifted herself from her knees to reveal a guy huddled on the floor, unconscious. I glanced at her shirt to see one of Sky's "Choice Words" scrawled across it.
"Seto? Can you..?" Megan started to ask.
I stuttered, "I can, but..."
"Great! Help him!" She pointed towards the guy.
I kneeled down and put my hands under him to lift him onto the actual seat. Bajan came to help me.
Once I got him on the seat, I straightened his body out to see that he was a few inches taller than Megan, but had similar looks. I placed one hand above his forehead and one on the wound.
Megan gasped and the other girl started talking, "He got shot in the Sweep. I don't know why, but he dove in front of me to shield me. If he hadn't, I'd be the one lying there."
I pushed out with all I had and started muttering unintelligible words. They weren't in English, though. They were from the language of the ancients: Rikulah. It was also known as Rune in some cases.
"Efil eht efil, Efil eht efil. No kunu rah..." I muttered. Silver sparks started coming from my hand and into his head. I continued the chant and it got brighter. My other hand poured a small amount of my aura into him.
A flash of white blinded all of us and then it went back to normal. I lifted the makeshift bandage from the bullet wound in his stomach. It was radiating a dark purple color and slowly healed, the color vanishing slowly.
Color flowed back into his previously pale skin. He started inhaling slowly, than almost choked from the intake. He coughed and tried sitting up. I pushed him back down and told him not to just yet. Megan went over and attacked him with a hug. He coughed and opened his eyes. They were a murky violet color with flecks of silver.
The other girl just stared at me, "How..."
A spark glinted in my eye as I summoned up a flame, "Magic."
I glanced over at my Mystic Flare.
It was silver with a purple inside. In the middle was a spark of black.
Muahahahahahahha... Anyway, I think I have a little... plot brewing in my mind. Just remember that I have not written any part of the later chapters as of posting time, so it might turn out differently than I'm hoping. Either way, I'm thinking of doing either Ssundee or Bajan as the POV for next chapter.
Anything you want to see happen? PM me! Any comments? Leave 'em in the review section! For now, just comment what POV I should do for the next chapter. Oh, and the next one will be a fun one! Hopefully. As a hint for what'll happen, prepare to get your mind erased!
