episode 16

Kagemi:-now tell me…where's the boy.

Klai:-[shocked]…(she knows him)?

Kagemi:-why are you suddenly shocked? I'm not some kind of spy.

Klai:-what do you want from him any ways.

Kagemi:-…right now we have 35 days to live, it's not about the food or sickness, a bigger threat coming up all the way here.

Klai:-[surprised]are you serious? [sigh]I'm sorry but we shall have to wait, he is now training with some other kids, interrupting him can be a failure right now.

Kagemi:-I see…so how are we gonna stop the threat that is coming?

Klai:-there is another way, we can either call him before the last five days at the time he will be ready to save this village.

Kagemi:-this…might work.

"Wreck" just made two bells for a challenge.

Shimarai:-a bell? What do we need a bell for?

Wreck:-it's for a challenge, the three of you will have to take it from me, if you could prove it to me that you can survive without my help.

Shimarai:-whatever the challenge might be I'm ready for it.

Wreck:-if you want to know it's about taking the bells by force before 24 minutes.

Shimarai:-that's fine by me once I'm ready.

Wreck:-I look forward to know if it's a joke or not.

"Gaplock" and his men have reached the lab.

Trooper:-I see a door in that mountain, right there.

Gaplock:-we're close.

"Gaplock" barged into the lab, it is dark and quiet inside, five troopers went in to check for anything, one of the troopers saw a face of a boy that looks just like expert number 1, the trooper freaked out, the boy is called "123".

123:-room temperature raised to 18˚C, a life form has been detected, engaging armed mode.

"123" woke up from his sleep and killed the first who saw him by an energy blast then came out of the dark, "123" is actually a humanoid that was built to serve, he then killed the rest of the troopers with a plasma cannon then scans for another life form.

123:-"Skarvenian" life form detected, scanning data.

Trooper:-[frightened]what is that?

Gaplock:-…this…is a humanoid number "123", a victorious project from "Skarven".

123:-scan complete, user "Gaplock", good evening, it has been over 12 months now.

Trooper:-is this what you meant when you said a secret weapon? It looks like a kid but deadly.

Gaplock:-number "123" is the only one that succeeded with no failures, although it has been secretly hidden from other "Skarvenians" for custody, no one knows about this except me and the three experts.

Trooper:-(what kind of work is this? That thing just killed 5 troops with a weird weapon, it's like it is stuffed with some "Ki" control), just tell me this, who do you work for obviously? Is it the three experts?

Gaplock:-can't you tell? I work for "Ghufran" and the "Kaigenes" of "Eblees".

Trooper:-[shocked]what?! You mean you plan to resurrect the evil of the past?

Gaplock:-not quite, I would call a savior of all humanity, from "Skarven" many thing were to be discovered, even the future's mightiest.

123:-you are talking about he who is mightiest, many termination can solve the info for any strange work of science.

Trooper:-[sweat]("Gaplock", you think you can just call an evil as a good thing then know this…I'm not going to stand here and see any of it).

123:-the human makes the face of disagreement.

Trooper:-[shocker](human? Is he talking about me)?

Gaplock:-dear trooper, you can't just quit from my business, can you? If anyone were to join me they are marked, and quitting will be sudden death.

Trooper:-[smile]wha? Who's quitting? I'm not quitting, I'm just having a little bit of misunderstanding, that's all.

Gaplock:-oh really? Then prove it to me by getting in that can.

The trooper gets in to the capsule then "Gaplock" locks the door.

123:-for how much would you like to keep him asleep, user "Gaplock"?

Gaplock:-until you're offline, he won't be knowing anything that will happen now.

Trooper:-[panic]wait, I have proven to you, I'm worthy, I'm worthy[sleep].

At the meantime "Kagemi" takes "Klai" to a secret lair of "Fate", the place was untouched for years and there are rats and cob webs, they entered "Fate's" vault then she showed "Klai" the papers.

Kagemi:-to be honest no one actually knows about this, "Fate" kept it hidden till now.

Klai:-[surprised]you're kidding, all this because of "Wreck"? is that what he meant by gadget crafting?

On the paper is a blurry picture of a drauger.

Kagemi:-"Fate" told me an army of creatures from another land appearing in ours after a couple of years, it seems he meant five years when he said after our resurrection.

Klai:-that's insane…does that mean there is a gate way leading to a random world? This could be some sort of an attack coming from the past, I know they died a long time ago…is it possible that they were revived too?

Kagemi:-[surprised]that's insane, if they were revived then we must be prepared to hide our people and guard everyone now before they would come.

Klai:-I'm not saying that they are, but it could be in a greater chance, although it's not them anymore, there is an assassin from the north west nation runs by the name "Gaplock", with his face masked completely I can't tell what his true identity is, but as far as I know he and the boy have a history.

Kagemi:-"Gaplock" is the bigger threat after all, besides he's the one who killed "Fate".

Klai:-not possible…"Fate" was unbreakable, how did he died by the hands of an assassin? Or maybe "Gaplock" actually knows every one's weak spot.

Kagemi:-[sigh]I just like to finish everything quick but I guess the destiny what will happen forces me to wait a little longer.

Klai:-so we can't help but wait.

A few hours later at the lab "Gaplock" is strategizing.

123:-this…is an artificial strategy.

Gaplock:-we need to build eight seekers in order to make this work, how much time do we need?

123:-as far as there are mountains and enough tools this will take at least two weeks.

Gaplock:-two weeks would be enough, and what about project "77"?

123:-1 month in a catch.

Gaplcock:-enough time to collect "Masmur rods" and bring the inevitable.

123:-you spoke of a wishing tool, what do you intend to wish for?

Gaplock:-nothing much, and what makes you concerned into this?

123:-every wish comes with a desire and a need, either it is a good wish or a bad wish.

Gaplock:-there are some questions you must never ask and some of them you can, so I will not answer the question you asked.

123:-fine by me.

Gaplock:-so going back to this, seekers must track the "Masmur rods" and then you make a summoning circle to "Elleghfrethin".

123:-this circle is forbidden for anyone to maintain, even for a humanoid like me.

Gaplock:-your creator is not around anymore, you will do whatever the objective I give you.

At the meantime "Shimarai" wears a blind fold.

Yaguto:-uh, what are you doing?

Shimarai:-if I concentrated very carefully I might be able to connect my sight with the air so everything around me can be sensed.

"Shimarai" takes a deep breath and connects with the air and begins to see anything from 3 to 10 meters away.

Shimarai:-"Komi" is teaching "Tika" how to cook, "Stella" has made a star shape with her metal, and you think hitting me with flame on your left hand would prove me wrong.

Yaguto:-[surprised]you can see that? Nice, what are you gonna call it? The forth sight.

Shimarai:-how about the "Shima sight"? I thought like I mastered this first.

Yaguto:-haha, good one.

"Klai" lies down on the bed looking at the ceiling.

Klai:-[sigh](even if it is a gate way to some other world there is nothing we might be able to do about it, even if there is a way we might be able to seek it…as planned after 30 days we call for "Wreck" to come here and figure things out, if "Gaplock" knows "Wreck" then why did he turn his back? Answers won't come pretty easily).

Kira:-hey "Klai", do you have any clue why they have flames that doesn't fade? They call it the eternal flame but my guess is someone knows about eternal power.

Klai:-looks like it…(I hope "Wreck" knows, and he should use it for good deeds).

Five days later "Wreck" examines "Shimarai" "Yaguto" and "Stella" to take the bell, "Shimarai" starts by going towards "Wreck" and attacks then gives "Yaguto" an opening so he can distract him, "Shimarai" tries to take the bells but "Wreck" quickly threw "Yaguto" at him then kicked them both.

Wreck:-is that all you got? I expected more than that.

Stella:-here is how it's going to work.

"Stella" trapped "Wreck" by tying his feet with metal then tried to take the bell, "Wreck" pulled her arm then smacked her on the back.

Wreck:-cheap moves, you need to do better than that.

He breaks the metal then moves away.

Shimarai:-I'm not done yet; I will take that bell whenever I can.

Yaguto:-you can't expect me to go down that easily.

Wreck:-C'mon, show me everything, will you? Or maybe you're holding back too much.

Shimarai:-we'll see about that.

"123" has gone collecting the required equipment and "gaplock" stands outside looking at the sky.

Gaplock:-are you seeing this? Hope you are, 1 month from now you will see him crumbling with fear, if you think you're right about him I doubt he'll be all yours for punishing, "Veganson" is going to die.
