Anyways I talk too much, into the chapter!
Chapter 14: Where I been too before
Before long we made are way out of the guardian temple. We slowly made are way back to town. It had been a long day after all we had learned. As well as got a new medium from the guardian of light. We we're still a bit from town when I heard gallows say something. "Ugh…can't we rest here…?" he asked. From the look of it; he was about to fall off of his horse any minute.
"Yeah, we should rest a bit, we don't want gallows to fall off of his horse and land on his head hurting the so little brain that he has…" jet said with a small grin across his face. "What!" gallows yelled looking toward Jet. God, do they always have to fight? I wondered sighing to my self. "It's up to the leader…" Clive said looking to Virginia. She slowly nodded, "yeah, I'm sure we all need a small rest." Soon after that we tied up the horses and we're sitting in a circle resting.
"Ah, this is better!" gallows said taking in a deep breath. Then we all heard his stomach growl. We all shook are heads as he started to laugh a bit. "Uh, I guess…I'm a bit Hungary…" as soon as he finished saying that it growled again. "A bit…?" jet said glaring at him. Virginia then quickly hit her hands together. "I know I'll make something for everyone!" I quickly felt my stomach drop. She had to be kidding right? She couldn't even make toast!
"N-no that's alright Virginia let me d-do it!" I said sounding worried toward her. I watched the other give me a question look. "No!" she yelled standing up. "I'm the one cooking and that's final!" she yelled. I could feel my stomach acting up so soon. And she hadn't even started cooking. Is her cooking really that bad you ask? Uh, yup it is. I remembered some years ago she made lunch for me.
"Here Sara! I made you a sandwich!" little Virginia yelled handing the sandwich over. "Oh, thank you Virginia!" little Sara said taking a bite of it. Her face quickly turned dark. "So, how is it?" little Virginia asked with a huge smile. "Virginia…what's in this?" little Sara asked glaring at Virginia. "Only mud and cheese!" Virginia answered her. Little Sara checked it, and yup it was mud cheese. Little Sara slowly looked up from it back to her. "Well? Want seconds?" little Virginia asked holding up another one. Little Sara then quickly threw her sandwich in little Virginia's face.
I slowly shook my head remembering that. Her cooking had to be better now…right? "Hmm…what to make…?" Virginia asked holding a hand under her chin. "Ah! I know! I'll make your curry Sara!" I fell my self fall over as soon as she said that. Her make curry! She can't even cook rice! "Uh, you sure about this…?" I asked looking up at her. "Yup!" she yelled quickly starting up cooking right away. "Why…do I have a bad feeling about this…?" jet asked me.
"Because…she can't really cook…" Jet shook his head a bit. "Will it even be ate able?" he asked with a small grin. We both watched Virginia glare at us. We both felt sweat drops roll down the back of are heads. It never good to get a glare out of her toward you; we both turned quiet as Virginia when back to work on the curry. The curry that would make all of are stomachs turn; I was sure of that!
20 minutes later…She finished making the curry. "All done!" she yelled. We all turned to her have some read sauce on her face. I slowly shook my head at her. "Alright food time!" Gallows yelled running over to her. I could feel my stomach drop even more. I had a feeling something would be wrong with the curry. "Ok, who wants to be the tester?" Virginia asked with a small grin. "You didn't test it…?" Jet asked with a glare. "Yup, I didn't…" we all slowly shook are heads at her.
"Make gallows test it…" I said pointing to him. "Hey! Why me?" he yelled back toward me. "You we're the one who was Hungary right?" jet asked. "Oh, yeah…" gallows said slowly nodding. "Making him the tester for good reason then…" Clive said with a small smile on his face. "Fine…fine! I'll be the tester…!" he said. "Good!" Virginia said putting some curry in a bowl then handing it to him. Gallows took a deep breath before putting some into his mouth. We all stood they're watching.
He manager to stomach some; "well…?" Virginia asked. "I-I feel like I'm on fire…" he whispered. We all looked lost at him. Then out of no where he let out a loud yell and when running. "HOTTTTTTTT!" He yelled running away from us. I slowly shook my head looking down at the pot. "What the hell did you put in it Virginia?" I asked looking up at her. "Only normal things curry has…" I glared at her. I put my finger into the pot then putted it back out. "W-wait!" Clive said. But I put my finger into my mouth before he could finish. Then I slowly pulled it out. "Yup, that…very spicy…" I whispered.
"HOTTTTT!" We saw gallows run by us again. "How many red peppers…did you put in this v-Virginia…?" I asked starting to feel my mouth on fire now. "Um, I don't know…I stop courting after ten…" she said rubbing the back of her head. I glared at her as well as did Jet. "Are you trying to kill us?" Jet asked with angry in his voice. "Hmm…no not really…" Virginia said placing a hand on her right cheek on her face. Jet slowly shook his head at her. Then we heard something fall by are feet. We slowly looked down to find gallows laying there. "Did he pass out?" Virginia asked as we felt sweat drops roll down the backs of are heads.
"Then can we just leave him here?" jet asked with a small grin. Virginia quickly glared toward jet. "No!" she yelled at him. He just shrugged a bit crossing his arms over his chest. "Oh, what a nice view…" I quickly looked down to see gallows looking up my dress. "Ahh!" I yelled quickly moving backward and tripped falling into my butt. "It still nice…" Gallows said with a grin. I quickly got into my knees glaring at him. I could hear someone cough. Gallows slowly looked toward the cough. Gallows found Jet looking pretty pissed at him. "Uh…" Gallows said started to sweat a lot. Gallows quickly stood up with a look of fear in his eyes; as he looked toward jet. "You're a pervert!" I yelled at gallows.
He slowly turned to look at me. "What? I am not! It was just there so I looked!" gallows started to sweat more seeing two more people glaring at him now. "You're a pervert!" me and Virginia yelled as we hit him; Jet hit him with his boomerang at the same time. We watched gallows fall into the ground again. Maybe…just maybe he will learn something from this. Clive slowly shook his head looking at us. "What?" me and Virginia both yelled at the same time. "N-nothing…" Clive answered waving a hand in front of him self.
"But—it starting to get late…so we should head back to town for now…" the three of us only nodded to Clive. Gallows slowly stood up rubbing the top of his head some. We climbed into the horses and started back toward town. It was dark by the time we got to town. We headed into town; we could see the lights on in all the houses in town. "Well let's head to the saloon to get some rooms for the night…" we nodded to Clive starting toward the saloon. "Stop glaring at me, jet!" we heard gallows yell to the silver hair drifter.
Virginia and me slowly shook are heads hearing him. He had reason to glare at gallows right? Wait…no he didn't. Why was he glaring at gallows to start with? Gallows did something pervert like to me not him. Oh, god that didn't mean Virginia could be right…Could it? I so hope…what I was thinking was wrong. We slowly headed inside the saloon; the bar keep was still awake to are surprise. It was close to 11 at night. Clive coughed a bit walking up to the counter. "Oh, yes may I help you sir?" the bar keep asked. "Yes, we would like two rooms for the night…" Clive said placing some money on the counter. "Alright sir, that the last two rooms we have…right up those stairs…" the bar keep said pointing toward the stairs.
Clive nodded to the bar keep turning to us. "Good thing they had rooms left or we would had to sleep outside…" jet whispered with his arms crossed. I slowly nodded. "But, even if we did end up sleeping outside I would have kept you warm…" gallows said with a huge grin. "Haven't you gone over your limit for being a pervert today?" I asked. Gallows quickly looked at the floor; I could hear jet laughing to him self. Then I felt someone grab into my arm. "Come, on Sara! Let's head off to bed!" Virginia said pulling me up stairs. "Ok…ok I'm coming Virginia!" I said trying not to trip on the stairs.
Jet slowly started toward the stairs; as he felt a hand touch his shoulder. "You may want to wait a minute or two to let the girls change they're cloth…" Clive said with a small smile across his face. Jet turned his head and slowly nodded to Clive. "Why, would he want to wait? I'm sure he wants to watch the girls change…" jet and Clive both slowly glared toward gallows. "What?" gallows asked stepping back a little. But as soon as gallows stepped back jet threw his boomerang at gallows knocking him into his back. Clive then slowly shook his head. "Well…I guess that what he gets adding in his two cents…" Clive said slowly placing a hand on top of his head.
"Hmp!" Jet said quickly making his way upstairs. Jet slowly shook his head standing in front of the bedroom door. "Why the hell would I want to watch them change anyways?" Jet asked him self feeling a bit confused. He shook the feeling off as he opened the door. He found the two girls talking about something. What they were talking about, he didn't really care. He made his way to his bed without saying a word to the both of them. "Come on! Come on! Sara! You have to help me with my cooking skills!" Virginia cried.
"I would—if you had any cooking skills to start with…" I said with a small grin on my face. I quickly watched angry full Virginia's eyes. "What!" Virginia yelled jumping at me. I tripped from Virginia's jumping at me and quickly started falling backward. I blinked landing on the middle bed. I slowly looked up hearing Virginia giggling for some reason. I saw jet staring down at me. I still forget sometime that he shares a room with me and Virginia. "Sorry…about that jet…" I said slowly sitting up rubbing the back of my head.
"W-Whatever, just get off my bed…" Jet whispered looking away. It was weird was his face a bit red? Nah, I guess I'm just seeing things. "Stop looking at me like that…" Jet whispered growling a bit. "Who, said I wanted to look at you, to start with?" I asked sticking my tongue out at him. "Hmp!" jet said crossing his arms. I slowly looked down at the bed seeing a pillow laying there. I slowly grinned to my self picking it up. I'm so evil sometimes. With jet still turned away. I quickly threw the pillow at him. I watched him quickly look toward me. "Oh,…you're asking for it…!" he yelled throwing the pillow back at me. But I quickly ducked in time as the pillow hit Virginia who was behind me. "You two are in for it!" Virginia yelled toward us.
"Uh, oh…" I quickly hopped off of the bed and lay on the floor taking cover. I watched jet fall off the bed after me; As Virginia started to throw things toward us. "This…is your entire fault!" Jet whispered glaring at me. "Hey, I wasn't the one who hit her…" I said covering my head with my hands. "So, you still started it!" Jet yelled at me. I slowly glared up at him. "Stop trying to blame me! For something you did Jet!" I yelled at him letting go of my head. I watched as a surprise look entered his eyes. "Are you two done talking now…?" We both slowly looked up to see Virginia glaring at us.
"Uh…" Me and jet both said at the same time. A mountain of pillows quickly fell on top of us. "Hmp!" Virginia said quickly turned away from us heading over to her head. I then slowly looked over to jet; as he looked over to me. "Truths for now…?" I asked pulling out an arm that had been under the mountain of pillows. "Yeah…" Jet said pulling out his as well. We nodded to each other shaking hands on it. "You know…doing something like that plus all the fighting it like you two are dating…" we both quickly blinked seeing Virginia grinning toward us. "We are not!" We both yelled at the same time; making Virginia start laughing toward us. We both quickly looked toward each other. "But you both are still holding hands…!" we both quickly let go of each others hands as soon as Virginia pointed it out. Virginia started up laughing again.
"Shut-up!" me and jet both yelled at the same time toward her again. A bit after that the three of us headed off to bed. All three of us getting into are own beds. But I pretty much fell asleep as soon as my head hit my pillow. But it wasn't a peacefully asleep I was hoping for. I had a weird dream; but this dream was a lot weird then any of my other ones.
I found my self in a room with very bright lights. It made it very hard to see anything in the room. But I could make out two men in white standing in front of a huge tube. "She slowly is starting to grow in there…" one of the men in white said. "Yes, she slowly growing…A new life not born from a women…We will go down in history for this!" the other man in white said. "H-how can you act that way about this! D-Don't you feel like a monster! Making something come to life even if-she doesn't want too!" The first man in white yelled. "Maxwell? What has gotten into you? We are doing this for the good of science!" The second man in white yelled to the one called Maxwell.
"I know…I know…But it still isn't right!" Maxwell yelled. Then they both heard something. They quickly looked toward the tube. "D-Did the egg just move?" the second man in white asked. "No-there no way it could be moving around as an egg still…" Maxwell said staring at the tube. They watched as the egg hit on the side of the tube. They both quickly stood back a bit. "I can't believe it…" Maxwell whispered. "See there? She will be a bright one, your second daughter…" Maxwell ran toward the doorway hearing that. "Maxwell?" The second man in white yelled. "I have no right! To call her my daughter…or being called her father! I am nothing but a monster!" Maxwell yelled leaving the room.
The man in white slowly grinned. "He reacted just as you said he would lee halt…" a man slowly stepped out of the shadows nodding to the man in white. The man had long hair and white cloth on as well. He slowly headed up to the tube what the egg was in. "Everyday…she grows little by little…maybe she will be even as beautifully as Maxwell dead wife…" A small grin appeared across Lee halt face. "Don't let Maxwell stop this…that egg has to live…" Lee halt said pointing to the tube. "Yes, Sir Lee halt…" The man in white said.
Then I quickly opened my eyes looking around. I was still in my bed. But that man's face who was in my dream; I-I knew his face from somewhere. But where this somewhere was I didn't know. I could feel the sun on the side of my face. It was morning this quickly? I felt like I just when to sleep five minutes ago. Or did I just feel this way because of that weird dream? "I wonder what was really in that tube…" I whispered to my self placing a hand under my chin. From what I could see…it looked like an egg. But why would an egg just be in a tube like that? I slowly shook my head. It wouldn't do me any good wondering about it right now.
I slowly got out of bed finding the other two we're up. So I changed out of my night cloth then head down stairs into the saloon. I found Virginia, Clive and gallows sitting at a table talking. Jet was at another table by him self. I slowly headed up to them. "Oh, good you're up…" Virginia said with a small smile. "Is something up?" I asked looking to her. Clive slowly nodded. "We heard they're an old ruin of a laboratory close by the town…" Clive said looking pretty serious. "A-Laboratory…?" I whispered remembering the place in my dream.
"Is something the matter, Sara?" Clive asked looking a bit worried toward me. Jet slowly looked toward us hearing that. "No…it's nothing…" I said shaking my head a bit. "Well, let's go ask around town about where this lab is…" Virginia said. We all slowly nodded to her. We headed out of the saloon; Virginia took the east side of town with gallows and Clive; Me and Jet when to asking on the west side. We found a man name Goodwin. "Are you still scouring for leads? Why not go check out the ruins of the laboratory to the northwest? They say decades ago, scientists studied the leylines there." Goodwin finished saying as he slowly walked away from us.
"A lab…" I whispered holding a hand under my chin again. Jet gave me a look; like he knew something was wrong. "Ah…it's nothing…let's head back to tell the others…" I whispered trying not to make eye-contask with him. "Whatever…." Jet said with a small shrug. We found the others standing in front of the saloon. "Did you find anything out…?" Virginia asked as soon as we headed up to them. I nodded to her then told her the location we learned. "Alright then let's go!" Virginia yelled running out of town. "I wish she would run out of energy one day…" Jet whispered. "You and me both Jet…" A small grin appeared on my face. "Ok, ok you two we should follow are leader…" Clive said with a small smile across his face. We nodded to him following him outside of town with gallows a bit behind us.
We climbed into are horses and started the way where Goodwin said the laboratory was location. And before long we did find it. But we had to hear gallows cried about how far it was like normal. But after finding the ruins we hopped off of are horses and headed inside the ruins called, Leyline observatory. But as soon as we entered I saw a weird flash of pictures. "Ugh…" I whispered holding into my head. "Sara!" Virginia yelled. "I-I'm alright…" I whispered smiling weakly. "Ugh…!" we all then quickly looked over to jet. He was holding his head too.
"Are you okay?" Virginia asked sounding a bit worried. "Yeah…I'm fine…my head just pounding for some reason…" Jet whispered looking toward me. Did me and Jet just see and feel the same thing? What could this mean? I wonder. Jet then slowly looked toward the floor. 'Why do I know this place! I have no memories! This is crazy…' jet thought. We headed past two counters into a doorway in front of us. We found are selves in a long hall way we entered a door on the left side. Clive quickly made his way over to the book selves; and we when to search the lockers in this room. Jet found a Radar in the middle locker. "Hmm?" Jet said looking the Radar over.
"Oh, Jet you sure found something good." Gallows said with a grin. "Hearing that from you, makes me think I should throw it away…" Jet said glaring at Gallows. "Why? It sure could be helpfully!" Gallows said nodding a bit. "You know gallows is right, it could help us find hiding items…" Virginia added in. "Well, I guess…that's true…" Gallows said looking a bit lost. The three of us slowly glared at gallows. "You weren't thinking about that we're you?" I asked. "Nope not at all!" Gallows answered with a grin across his face.
"I'm scared to ask…what we're you thinking about…having the radar find then…?" Jet asked still glaring at Gallows. "Oh, Jet! Being a man; Man gets ideas!" gallows said rubbing the back of his head. "Like what?" Virginia asked stepping toward gallows a bit. "W-well uh…finding women's underwear…" gallows said as his face turned a bit red. Me and Virginia kept on glaring at gallows; and Jet's face turned deep red. "Don't pull jet, down to your level!" Virginia yelled hitting gallows over the head. "Pervert…" I whispered.
Jet nodded a bit hiding under his scarf. "Ouch…you don't have to hit me…" gallows cried rubbing the back of his head. "Yes, I do! Then maybe it will hit the pervert out of you!" Virginia yelled pointing her hand toward him. Clive laughed a bit heading over to us. "To get into the room at the end of the long hallway, we need a password one of these books says…" Clive said holding a book at his side. "A password…?" I asked. Clive slowly nodded to me. "Yes, the room across from this one has a machine, where to enter the password…" Clive said slowly holding up a book that had been at his side. "The password is in there?" I asked. Clive slowly nodded to me. "But picking it out, I'm having a bit of trouble with…" Clive added in.
"Well let's head over to the other room, and try at the password…" we nodded to Virginia. We then headed out of the room. We then entered the room right across from the one we had been in. We could see a huge machine as we entered. We slowly headed up to the machine. On the screen it said, enter password. "Hmm…" Clive said staring down at a keyboard. "Can I take a look at the book Clive?" I asked. He nodded and handed the book over. I opened it and I could see right away why he had trouble. It looked like a log of information of people who had worked here.
"Give me a name, Sara…" Clive said. "A Name…?" I asked looking up from the book a bit confused. "Yes, I believe one of the names is the password needed…" Clive said still looking at the keyboard. "Hmm ok…" I said looking back down at the book; I started to read from it. "Four of you will be assigned tonight shift this month. You must activate the elevator using your name as the password before you begin your shift. P.S. Bryant please let Inkapilia know…" I quickly stopped reading. "Clive try, Inkapilia…" I said closing the book. "Ok, got it…" Clive said entering it into the machine.
Then Clive hit enter on the keyboard. A huge machine started to move in the room. "Looks like it worked!" Virginia yelled. We nodded to each other. "Let's head for that door it should be unlocked now…" Gallows aid holding a hand out in front of him; with that we left the room and head down the long hallway. The door was unlocked; we headed inside of it to find out it was really an elevator. The elevator stopped moving then we headed out of it. We found a room just a bit down the hall way on the left side. We entered to find a long table with three chairs on each side.
And a white board close to it. It had some writing on it. But we couldn't make it out. We then headed out of the room; across from that room was a lock door. "Looks like a key card is needed here…" Clive said. We could see an open room at the end of the hallway. We headed into that room. Clive quickly headed over to the book selves in here. He really loves his books doesn't he? As the four of us searched around the room; Jet pulled out his radar and turned it on. We saw a blinking light coming from the table in the room.
"An Id card?" jet said picking it up. Jet got the Id Card. "WE can get into that room with that…" I whispered to him. "Yeah…" jet said placing it in his pocket. "Let's head back there then…" Virginia said hurrying out of the room. We slowly followed behind her. "Go on jet…" Virginia said watching Jet stand in front of a small machine beside the lock door. "Alright…alright…" Jet said growling a bit. Jet put the ID card into the machine. Then we heard a voice out of nowhere. "ID CARD CONFIRMED ACCESS GRANTED." Then the door to are left opened. We then headed inside. Another elevator we walked into. It quickly started to move. Then after a bit it stopped. Then we headed out of it. We found an open door across from us.
We headed inside that door. Clive quickly made his way to the book selves in this room as well. "I wonder what was done here…" Virginia whispered holding a hand under her chin. "Who knows, maybe these people who did work here…we're searching for answers about the planet…" Gallows said. "About the planet?" Virginia asked. "Yeah, maybe the same answers Clive is looking for…if the people who were here we're scienceists…" I keep silence listening to them. "In big white coats…?" Virginia asked. Hearing that made me thin kg about my weird dream again; But as soon as I started to think about it; my head started to pound.
"Ugh…" I whispered holding my head. "Sara?" Virginia said looking toward me. I quickly fell forward and into my stomach. "SARA!" I heard a voice yell.
"Hmm…She is getting bigger…" It was that voice from my dream. "Yes, she is sir…" another man's voice said. "And her hair…her hair looks just likes—"the first man cut him self off. "hehe…she will be an in-perfect clone…but none of the less…She will still be very beautifully…" the first man finished saying. "Yes, she will be as beautifully as Maxwell's late wife…" the second man's voice said. "No…No one can be that beautifully…but this one will be a close second…" the first man said placing a hand on the tube. "If you say so, sir Lee halt…" what in the world was that? Just who are they talking about? And why Am I seeing and hearing this stuff?
"Sara!" I could hear someone calling to me. "Huh…?" I said slowly picked up my head. "Are you alright?" Virginia asked helping me sit up. I slowly nodded to her. "Y-yes, I'm fine…" I quickly looked to my left to see Jet giving me another look. Did-he really know something was up? Nah, how could he? I slowly got into my feet; then I pushed some dirty off of my self. "You ok now?" Clive asked looking worried. I slowly nodded to him. "Yes, I'm alright sorry to worry you…" Clive only answered with a small smile across his face.
We then headed out of the room. We headed down the hallway a bit east to an open door. We didn't find anything in this room. So we quickly left before Clive could run over to the book selves in here. We headed down the long hall way into a door at the other end. But as soon as we entered; I felt very scared of this place. What is this feeling? I wondered. Jet kept looking toward the floor too. 'It wasn't my imagination after all…I know this place…but why?' Jet wondered hiding his face in his scarf.
"This place…" I whispered. "Sara…?" Virginia said. "Ah…it's nothing forget it…" I said quickly stepping away from her. Virginia headed over to Clive. "Oh, Virginia the data inside these machines are still active…" Clive pointed out. Virginia then checked out one of the machines. It had words on the screen. "Will the seven of us earn a place in history as the creators or as immoral sinners? That will all depend on the completion of the Sample. The Seven of us have come this far, so that we can deliver another tomorrow for the planet." One of the machines said. "The sample will be born soon…We only hope how the Sample will react toward Maxwell's second daughter….Even those The sample was born from some of her lost memories as well as the power of science…does that mean we have gone too far? Maxwell's second daughter memories are disappearing…Does this mean she will die soon? But she wasn't really human to start with…Maybe Maxwell was right…Was this In-human to make something live that didn't want too to start with?" Another machine said.
"Wasn't human…?" Virginia whispered to her self. Virginia then headed up to a machine at the end of the room. "My Son…And Lady…My only regret is that I was unable to show you a world full of verdure…As new Life-forms you two must protect this planet for future generations…Adam Kadmon…You must protect her…And she will protect you…Don't forget each other…Your—I'm counting on you two. Protect the planet for future children…" The Machine screen said. Virginia then headed over to Jet.
"It's not like I understand why I know this, but…" Jet headed over to the wall and started to feel around. "Hmm? What are you doing?" Virginia asked watching him. We all watched in shock as a door opened. "There…it…opened…" Jet said looking away. "A secret door….But how did you find it? Surely it wasn't Obvious…" Clive said pushing his glassing up a bit. Jet slowly looked down at his left hand. "I don't know why, But….I think I know this place…Actually, it's more like my body remembers it…" Jet said still staring down at his hand. "Do you think this place might have something to do with your lost memories?" Virginia asked. "Who knows…but the fact is; I seem to faintly remember this place…" Jet whispered looking around the place.
Jet then quickly grabbed his head. "Waving water…Reflection of Light…people in white lab coats…I wasn't alone, then…" I stared at Jet in shock. 'He did see the same thing when we entered this ruin didn't he…' I thought. Jet then quickly fell into his knees. Clive raced over to him. I slowly made my way over to him as well. "Do not try to recall everything at once. It will be too over whelming for you mentally and physically…" Clive said holding his hands out in front of him. "Jet…" I whispered kneeing down to him. He gave me a weak smile. I slowly helped him back into his feet.
"I guess…I am a weaken…"Jet whispered to me. "No…Your not…" I whispered back to him. "Thank you…Sara…" He whispered as quietly as he could. I nodded to him. "There must be some kind of clue about his memories behind the secret door…let's go find out…" Virginia said looking toward the secret door. We slowly nodded to her and headed inside the secret door. As we entered the room we saw four large tubes in the middle. I felt that feeling again looking at them. Was-Was I scared of these tubes? I slowly looked over to Jet. He looked like he was having the same reaction.
'My stomach feels like it gonna fall out, and my neck is getting stiff…we need to leave here now.' Jet thought. I watched him quickly head toward the open door a bit north in this room. Yes he did feel the same way about this place. Could-could me and Jet be connected somehow? I wondered. We followed Jet into the next room. At the end of the hallway were beams of light blocking the path. We found a machine asking for a password. "Hmm…it needs a password…" Clive said looking it over. "L-let me try…" I said walking up to the small machine. Clive nodded and stepped aside. It was weird A could see words enter my mind out of nowhere. So, I entered those words. I entered Guiding Word.
Then the beams of light disappeared. Everyone stared at me in shock. "S-Sara! How did you know the password?" Clive asked. "I-I don't know…I just saw those words enter my mind out of nowhere…" I whispered looking toward the floor. Jet looked toward me hearing that. "No matter…Let's keep going…" Virginia said hurrying into the door way in front of us. We slowly followed behind her. There we're more machines in this room too; as well as two tables. But one of the tables had something on it.
"A photo…" Virginia said picking it up to look at it. We all looked at the photo. These people in the picture; I-I felt like I knew them for some reason. "I have no idea who these people are, but why do I feel so uneasy? There's something about this picture…" Virginia whispered looking it over. Virginia took out the half photo that had her father on it. We looked closely at it. It was the whole picture! Virginia quickly taped it back together. I watched as Virginia started to cry a bit. "I've finally found it…A clue to my father's whereabouts. So daddy was…here…" Virginia whispered. "Virginia…" I whispered watching her. "Would you mind telling us more?" Clive asked. Virginia nodded and told the other about her father who disappeared ten years ago. And about how her weak mother died in that time as well.
"This doesn't prove whether he's live today or not, but…I was able to trace my father's steps after he left. I'm sure Mom would be happy to hear about this, too." Virginia said as the tears stopped falling down her cheeks. Jet looked a bit confused toward the photo. "Uh…Can I take a look at that picture for a sec?" Jet asked. Virginia nodded and showed it to him. They looked at a man next to a woman reading a book. "Is this man here…your father?" Jet asked. "Wait…How did you know? Did I describe him to you before?" Virginia yelled toward Jet. Jet didn't answer her looking to the side.
"Well?" Virginia yelled holding her hands out to her sides. Jet quickly closed his eyes. "So, you do know him. Please tell me! Please, tell me everything you know about him, no matter how small!" Virginia yelled holding her hands together in front of her self. Jet slowly opened his eyes rubbing his cheek a bit. "Well…that man…He's…uhhh…well…He's kinda like…My old man…but…Don't freak out…." I looked at jet in shock. Is he my cousin then too? Virginia quickly stepped back. "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?" Virginia yelled covering her mouth.
Virginia started talking really quickly. I watched her hands shaking like crazy at her sides. "Y-Yo….You okay…?" Jet asked sweating a bit watching her. Virginia held her arms up into the air. "That Dirty-minded pervert of a father!" she yelled. We all had sweat drops roll down the back of are heads watching her. "I've come to grips with him leaving me, but what about Mom? How could he do this to her? Well, yes it might've been wrong for me to assume daddy was dead, but if he was alive and well, I just wish he would've come home to see us." Virginia kept on yelling. Jet quickly waved his arms in front of him self.
"Hear me out! I haven't finished explaining yet! What I meant by that was…" Clive quickly stopped him. Virginia had her back to us now. "Wh-what I wanted to say was that he's the one that raised me, and taught me how to survive the wasteland. You've got it all wrong…He wasn't…Dammit! Why am I the one pleading? I'm the one who doesn't have any…" Jet said quickly crossing his arms and looking to the side. "I know, I know….I know my father wasn't like that…I was always daddy's girl…I loved him so much…There's no way he could be such a person…I'm just so happy…So, daddy was doing fine…I wish he would've told us himself…I wish I could have let daddy know I'm doing fine too…" Virginia whispered crying again.
"Virginia…" I whispered stepping over to her. I patted her back then she nodded to me. Then we heard a voice. "Sorry to crash the party…" We all quickly turned as that woman in the robe appeared before us. "You're!" Clive yelled toward her. She had something standing next to her. "How nice to see you again; I've come to pay you back for that time you completely ridiculed me…Well, that is my personal reason for being here, but actually I'm here to carry out my duty. Work, Work, work…" Melody said with a sigh. "So, you've here to command that big hunka metal?" Gallows asked pointing to the thing beside Melody. Melody covered her mouth laughing a bit. "Allow me to introduce to you, a Golem, which we bore from the wisdom of Hyades…Codename: Divine Fortress…" Melody said with a small grin across her face. "A G-Golem…?" I whispered staring at it.
"Asgard!" Melody yelled. The golem's eyes started to glow. "Asgard has evolved enormously from previous fighting machines. The Gemini Circuit embedded in his chest allows him to record and assess any situation, enabling him to react accordingly by evolutionary analogism." Melody said. "Evolutionary Analogism?" I whispered. Clive quickly stepped forward. "A machine capable of correlating current situations with past data to calculate the best course of action? Impossible…" Clive yelled toward Melody. "But it exists…Right here…Right now…that's not all…The more Asgard fights the more battle data he stores, which means he'll grows smarter after each battle. Amazing, isn't it? And that is why you have been selected as his first data Specimen." "Go, Asgard! Crush the target!" Melody yelled pointing toward us.
Asgard quickly came toward us. I watched as the other we're doing close to no damage to him. Was Melody right? Was this golem really as powerfully as she said it was? After around ten turns; Virginia quickly shook her head. "I don't think we even put a dent in him!" Virginia yelled to the others. "He's like an impenetrable fortress! But we've gotta break through to keep going!" Jet yelled to the others. "Be on your guard! Something is beginning to swell from within him!" Clive yelled to the others. "Bring it on!" Gallows yelled. Asgard hit the ground with his hand then the others fell into the ground. "Virginia!" I yelled. "Marvelous…Absolutely Marvelous…." Melody said seeing the four lying on the ground. Then Melody slowly looked toward me.
"H-How could you still be standing!" she yelled toward me. "W-What?" I asked slowly pulling out my arms. "Asgard take her down as well…" Melody yelled pointing toward me. Asgard did as he was told. He hit the ground toward me. I stood ready but nothing happened. "Uh! She had a barrier around her self-…then you're! No…you couldn't be her…She die over Ten years ago…" Melody said quickly shaking her head. "But no human's body could withstand that…" Melody placed a hand under her chin. "Asgard…catch that girl!" Melody yelled pointing at me again. Asgard started toward me. But as he got close a bomb hit him stopping him in his tracks. Melody looked toward the door way to find a blonde drifter standing there.
"Hmm? Reinforcements?" Melody yelled. "That's an outrage…they're not one of us. If anything, they're our enemy. What gets me is when a familiar face is being bullied by a new face in town." Maya said. "Maya…" I said looking back at her. She nodded to me. "An enemy of my enemy could be my ally. But, Asgard has determined you as hostile. Prepare to become its data." Melody yelled toward Maya. "Milady, I am more concerned about the big fellow then her." Todd whispered to Maya. Maya nodded to him. Alfred then threw a smoke bomb. "Now sis! Now!" Alfred yelled.
"Why…you…you're as sly as a fox!" Melody yelled coughing from all the smoke. Then the smoke disappeared and the drifters we're gone too. "Asgard…makes a note of that girl with the barrier…" Melody whispered as Asgard eyes glowed a bit.
