Chapter 3: The Box

I scan the area one more time. Currently Lewis, Simon, Duncan and some other people are arguing outside, trying to keep quiet but failing miserably. I am still in the same room, and after looking at everything in here, I collapsed on a thing called a "chair".

I completely screwed up.

There was no denying it, I was a utter fool, and I expect more mistakes to come in the future. I quickly debated trying to escape, but I'm sure that would just make matter's worse. Groaning, I realised what I had to do. I needed to enter the Cirrus-Forest. Well, that's what I call it, I don't think anybody knows its real name, it might not even have one. Clearing my mind, I sat on the floor with my legs crossed. I needed to be completely "one" with the dimension. That does mean I will not know what happen's on the outside world, but it wouldn't take long.

Soon, I felt myself drifting away, and in less then a minutes time, I was standing in a forest. But it was no ordinary forest, but one that contained every single code. This is the mother ship, the control centre, the heart of the whole universe. I won't meddle around too much, I just needed to... swap some thing's around. Make what happened... change. Just the memories of those who saw me use my powers, and the break out from the prison-thing.

Floating slightly, I quickly sped off in a very familiar direction. This wasn't the first time I messed-up. At my destination, I was standing in-front of a massive tree, line's of code travelling around on it's trunk and leaves. This tree held the memories of every living thing. I just had to find that particular symbol and extract it. My eye's darted around the trunk, memorising every detail. I knew what all these symbol's mean, but I didn't bother about that, I was just here for that small, tiny, thing. After waiting for around 5 minutes, I got impatient. I swear I would have saw it by now...

Jumping up, I scaled the tree, maybe it was up on the top? Slipping a few times, I finally managed to find a branch high enough, and strong enough, to hold my weight. Seeing it, I quickly grabbed it, slowly peeling it off. It was a big one, so I naturally thought that I was done. But then I saw something.

It was a locked box.

Plus, it still had a tiny symbol inside it. I could see it, more like feel it.

I swore softly and folded my arm's. I couldn't open it, the box was a mesh of code itself, more like a... glitch. My eye's widened and my mouth made the shape of an O. That's... That's impossible! I rubbed my eye's, pinched myself, but it was, annoyingly, still there. The symbol trapped inside was a small one, so it was only a small group of people who now know about me. I frowned. I've been here too long, I need to leave. Closing my eye's I thought about everything to do with returning. Feeling the scenery around me shift, I opened my eye's, only to find myself face to face with someone's hand.

I jerked back, nearly toppling over, making my goggles fall over my eye's. Looking up, I stared in shock to see Duncan and Simon in the room. Snapping out off my thoughts, I shouted at them.

"What the cuss do you think you are? Ever heard of private space?"

Duncan let out a short laugh, while Simon snorted. "Look," Began Simon, "We need answer's. And not just some half-arsed "yes" or "no". Like, a proper history lesson or something."

They obviously still remember me. I guess when Lewis teleported with me, it created some sort of magical barrier, a weird glitch, that also affected his close friends. Or co-worker's.

I sigh. Since they wont forget me any-time soon, I need to at least stop the glitch from spreading and provide some sort of answer. I might find more thing's myself, like killing two bird's with one stone. "Look, who do you know still remember's me?"

"Your pretty hard to forget, you know, with the power's and all." Replied Duncan.

"Well, can you get them to... come somewhere? If I'm going full out story mode, I'm going to need to tell everyone, in a more secure place. Oh, and don't tell anyone else that I exist, stuff like this gets... tricky."

"Okay... but where will I tell them to meet?" Asked Simon, already fishing out his phone from his pocket.

"Just tell them to meet somewhere you can all get to, I'll figure out the rest." I mutter, frowning again. "Is there a wide open area in the middle of nowhere?"

"Woah, hold the phone, we're not going to a random place, we still don't fully trust you."

"Look, I promise not to kill you or whatever your thinking. Umm... Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." I chanted, remembering the oath someone said from... some place, I don't quite remember.

Duncan and Simon look at each-other, obviously unsure, but agree. We will meet at a near by "train station", with everyone who was present at the convention. Most said no, but Simon had somehow convinced them to come. I wonder how...

I have no clue. But I do know that my outfit was going to attract attention, and I needed to change.

"You two need to leave." I said, not wanting to undress myself in-front of them.

"Why?"

"You don't expect me to just casually walk around looking like this? I'm practically a walking sign that say's "look here"!"

They quickly got the message and went to get ready.

That then left me with the question, what did normal people wear? I can "spawn" in anything, I just had to concentrate. I remembered most wore a thing called a skirt, or dress, some wore jeans and a top. I settled on the jeans, and top, and a thing called a "hoddie". Also a pair of "trainer's", which seem to be a more casual type of shoe.

Happy with my outfit, I left the room, grabbing my clothes and things, and putting into a bag, these humans call a "backpack".

"Wow, you actually look... normal for once." Said Duncan, when I found them grabbing their things from another room.

"Don't get used to it. I'm changing once we get there."

"Where is "there" exactly?"

"You'll see!" I say, with a hint of amusement. I might as well humour them for a while.

Once we arrived at the station, I was surprised to see everyone there, even if a bit grumpy. Then I got them to hide in a place without cameras or other people, and instantly started describing what will be happening.

"Look, it's quicker to teleport, it may be... unpleasant, but it will save us alot of time." I snapped, my patience running low. We've been here for ages while I tried to get them to follow some simple instructions. "You just need to hold onto someone else, and don't let go. That's it." They then erupted into a more complaints. I rolled my eye's, and resisted the urge to groan.

"Okay, we're going in 3..." Everyone instantly grabbed onto the nearest person. "2..." I concentrated on the image in my mind, and I felt the power rush into my hands. "1!" And with the countdown done, I felt myself disappear.

Let's just hope we get there safely.

I've never really teleported so many people...

*Gulp*
