Chapter 5

.

Leo was able to contact his old friend, an avatar he knew as Alpha. Alpha was the leader of the avatars, if somewhat unnofficially. Leo hadn't spoken to Alpha since he left the avatars, but if the Source really had the Hollow, they had to work together again. But when Leo found him, Alpha was clearly wounded, more so than Leo had ever seen before.

.

Alpha: Leo, it's good to see you again.

Leo: What happenned?

Alpha: The Source, he has the Hollow.

Leo: I know, that's what I came to talk about.

Alpha: We tried to stop him, we failed. He slaughtered most of us.

Leo: Did any survive?

Alpha: Some fled, you remember our our safe place?

Leo: I remember.

Alpha: Maybe ten got there in time, no more than twelve. Find them, you'll need all the help you can get. He must be stopped, or this and every other reality will be destroyed.

Leo: I will stop him and avenge your deaths.

Alpha: Thank you my friend.

.

The Alpha died. Leo knew he had to free Jason. It was a measure of last resort, an option that could only be considered when they had no other options. It was now clear that they had reached that point.
