Danny was standing with his hands in his pocket, he said, "You both, create a path so we can get out of here"
Josh was on the floor with both his legs regenerating slowly and Noella had her left hand and right leg ripped off her which were regenerating quicker than Josh's.
Josh said, "We could cut open a path on the wall, It is weaker than the floors but you know that may allow that thing to follow us"
Danny looked back and said, "I did see that coming...", and looked back forward and continued, "You something else to say right? What is it?"
Josh said, "There is another one like this below us"
Danny didn't look pleased to hear it and asked, "What is it that you are trying to say, Josh?"
Josh replied, "This one devoured its own... and is getting bigger", Josh then got up fully recovered.
Danny asked, "Hmm... Alright! What about the others are they out?"
Noella said, "No! Not yet, but they are separated from each other in 6 different locations"
Josh and Noella are sensory-type soldiers of Westuroian with an enhancement drug made by Jonal Boldin. Josh has the ability to sense the aura of danger lurking around them with the intent to kill and also he could sense the depth of his surrounding. Noella had the ability to sense the life force of any person around and learn to detect which is which like a police hound for the police to sniff the culprit out but in this instance, it means to detect any life.
Danny takes a deep breath in relief and said with a smile, "Alright then! That means we have to get out of here quickly and head down to intercept them", And then he took out his hands from his pockets and did a stretch later he asked, "Which I the easiest path out?"
Josh said, "All the walls have the same thickness, So, it is up to you on which side to open from"
Danny said, "That is not the case here, I want to know which side Rebecca and James are on"
Noella looked down and said after a few seconds, "There! on our... Oh! It is the wall behind the beast"
Danny said, "I guess we have to take it out before we go then", Then 4 black mattered tentacles came out of Danny.
Josh said, "The thing seems not to have any intention to kill... or at least it may not have till now"
Danny said, "That could be true, seeming that it wasn't faced by you both attacking it"
Noella asked, "So, How do we kill it then?"
Danny replied, "Don't know we will see as we deal with it"
At Tube 3, Something didn't go as planned and that changed everything there. As they could the dome, they saw that there was a grovelor in the middle eating the 3rd Mytes thirio which is the largest among the others. The Grovelor was eating the head of it which it repped from the rest of its body. The Grovelor was showing its back to them as they were having a view of the stage below. And blood all around the stage and even on the walls, there were splashes of blood on the tube.
Their Gs beeped and the Viceroy said, "This was supposed to be your ground to train but now that is not the case after this, This Grovelor had started to grow bigger than it normally could which makes it a Corrupted one and the first of its kind. We can help only by evacuating all of you to the ground floor... but that is just stalling for a while. You, kids, can see this one will get bigger and bigger till the floor can't it in here and then it will fall down below"
Alexa asked, "What about the others?"
The Viceroy said, "I will do my best to evacuate them with you all but please take of yourself, kids"
Benjamin asked, "So, What happened Danny, Josh and Noella? Because I didn't see them with their groups and some of them were injured... What happened back there?"
The Viceroy replied, "I can't help you answer that but if you kids have time before you leave the facility I could then tell if you want me to. I promise", And then their Gs beeped off
John said, "I hope the others are alright"
Benjamin said, "We cannot be worrying about others now, the thing is still in front of us. If it notices us we are probably done for"
Alexa said, "Ya! You might be right... Still, I hope Allan is Okay"
Harry said, "I hope I am alright"
Ben replied, "I really do hope you stay quiet more"
Harry said, "Hey! that's rude"
Ben said, "Shut up!"
Harry said, "Say you are Sorry"
Benjamin said, "Both of you please keep it down until we are clear from it"
Ben and Harry looked at each other in disgust and then looked off at the Grovelor that was eating the head of the beast then gulped at the same time and said together, "Ginx!"
Harry said, "The thing is freakishly growing in just a matter of moments... this will be close I feel"
Ben said, "Don't say things like that"
Benjamin then said, "Look who had a change in attitude"
Ben and Harry said together, "Shut up!", Benjamin kept silent and then stood in a corner from the other and said, "I just wanted to talk". John went to him and put his right hand over his shoulder and said, "It is alright"
Alexa said, "Ya! Benji, it is ok"
John looked at Alexa emotionlessly and asked, "Benji? From when was he, Benji?"
Benjamin said, "Thanks for that Alexa"
Alexa smiled at Benjamin who looked at her smiling. John felt ghosted and then he this time sat down in a corner facing the outside.
Alexa saw John was now feeling bad and asked, "What is it?"
John looked back and saw Alexa was actually worried about him. That made him happy, he gave off a wide smile and then said, "Nothing! Nothing at all just Paranoid", Then they passed by the floor and headed down.
Meanwhile, back at the top, Danny and the others had already made their escape out of there. Danny and the others were falling off trying to land on top of the dome where they felt James and Rebecca would be on.
As they reached close to the roof Danny held onto Josh and Noella with 2 of his tentacles and used the other 2 to stand on the roof using his tentacles.
As they landed on top of the roof they heard a scream, "AAAHHRR!", they then looked up to see the grovelor staring at them.
Danny asked, "How the hell can it see us with no eyes?"
Josh replied, "Probably that's echolocation like how dolphins can find their way"
Danny understood and then said, "Damn! That is going to be a pain in the ass. I thought cutting into 2 halves would do the trick"
Noella replied, "Well f***! Look at that we just pissed it even more"
Danny said, "I guess we have to use it after all"
Josh said, "Wha... What...!? Why? It will drain us"
Danny asked, "Ok then! You've got a better plan?"
Josh kept silent having no answer to it while Noella said, "What if we just play around with the sound around us? That will be one way to keep it distracted"
Danny didn't look amazed by her plan and said, "So, You are telling me to stall it here? Stalling? And what about getting out of here? You both are hopeless"
Noella thought about it carefully and said, "Yup! You are right, I am Sorry! I have nothing"
Danny replied, "It is okay though, we already have a way out. And it is up to you both to do it"
Danny said, "Ok...!", And Noella nodded yes.
They then turned invisible.
Turning invisible or camouflaging with the surrounding is their combined ability. But that doesn't mean they can't be detected by echolocation. It can be detected but the speciality of it is to have no sound on their movements and also that they are invisible.
That shouldn't normally face but this time it did. The Grovelor couldn't find them. It then jumped out of the dome to get a better radar.
Danny was standing in the same position, he was able to confuse it by blocking it from creating a wider soundwave. He did that using the debris that had occurred while Danny broke out of there using his psychokinesis ability. He used the debris as a wall to reflect the soundwave back at it.
Danny said, "The only way to beat it is by not beating it at all"
Josh and Noella were confused about what he meant and gave him a confused look.
Josh asked, "And how will that help?"
Danny said, "The thing is basically a ticking time bomb"
They went silent for a second and said, "What?!..."
Danny said, "Well! That's our queue", he said that as he looked down to the path he drilled open slowly. And then he jumped in.
As he landed on the floor he saw no one there and then asked, "You said that they were supposed to be here, right?"
Their Gs beeped and Cora said, "Knew it! You've would fall for it"
And Sophie said on the sidelines, "Don't get carried away with it! Just send it over there now"
Cora then said, "Oh ya! Almost forgot the job for a second there"
Danny asked, "Where is Martin?"
Cora said, "Can't tell, and the 1st Mytes thirio loves playing with you"
Danny replied, "I don't care for the games you want me to play"
Sophie said, "You don't get to decide that... but maybe if you beat it I would tell you where Master is"
And this time Cora on the sidelines said, "No! No, you can't tell him!"
Sophie then softly said, "Shut up"
Danny took a few seconds to think about it and said, "Alright! I am in!"
Now in Tube 5 Allan and Dean were sitting next to Lara who was regenerating consciously. Allan didn't seem surprised. Lara and Allan were staring at each other as she was restoring.
Allan said, "I see now Why you asked to question", Lara didn't say anything back but stared back at him.
Takashi looked at Allan and then at Lara, thinking, "What are they talking about? Did I miss something?"
Dean asked, "Do I have the ability to do this?"
Takashi and Allan said at the same time, "No"
Takashi then understood that Allan understood Lara's ability.
Takashi was thinking, "So, they had a moment... I hope they were good to each other. Lara had never talked her heart out before..."
Allan then said, "Dean! Let's wait in the Tube till they... recover", He then walked towards the Tube behind Lara and Takashi.
Dean said, "Alright! But why can't I do the same as her?"
Allan said, "Because That is her only ability"
Takashi said softly to Allan as he passed by him, "You act mature for your age, kid... Exactly like Lara"
Dean said, "I wish that was my ability"
Allan said, "No, You certainly don't need that"
Meanwhile, at Tube 1 the battle with the 4th Mytes thirio was already over with Rose taking out the head of the beast but she kept thrashing it with her fists again and again. Hassan was hurt badly protecting Lucas. Lucas and Hassan were at the foot of the Tube unconscious while Rose was on the opposite side of the dome. Rose thought they both had died leading her to snap.
Their Gs beeped and someone said, "Rose Grenda! The twin sister of Lucas Grenda. Your brother and Hassan Hamel are alright they are just unconscious", Rose stopped her thrashing as she heard Lucas's and Hassan's names called out.
Rose asked, "How would you know?"
The person said, "The Gear they are wearing has a check on their pulse. It still beats but they need help... as do you"
Rose said, "Please, help them both I will be okay". she said that she stood up slowly and then looked at Hassan and Lucas on the floor.
The person then asked, "You want to get stronger isn't it?...", that left Rose standing still.
The person continued after seeing her reaction through the cameras, "Hmm... I kind off guessed. I am kidding it was written all over my face. You can call me Aria. I will help you with that if only you help me with my goals!"
Rose didn't take any time to think about it and said, "Yes, yes I will help you!", as she said that a behind her opened.
2 doctors passed by her rushing to get to Lucas and Hassan. Then a 3rd Doctor came holding Rose on his shoulders and taking her to the elevator as she went to sleep.
Back at the Dome of Tube 2, the 1st Mytes thirio just reached the dome. The fight starts.
The Grovelor breathes a mist out of its mouth that covers the whole room with it, but the mist also escapes through the opening that Danny had created to enter. Danny understood the danger it posed to him and the others so he said, "I will place you both on the roof. The creature is playing with me like a predator does to its prey"
Josh said, "But we could help you find it in the mist"
Noella said, "Ya! We can help"
Danny giggled and then said, "You have no clue how easy this is to me...", and then he looked back at Noella and then continued, "But over here I am the predator, and also you will just be holding me back", he said it with a smile like he was going to enjoy this. Then Danny placed them both on the roof of the dome to keep them away from the fight.
Danny then brought his tentacles back to facing up and rotated around him, to blow away the mist.
Danny was thinking, "This thing will be hard to kill. The slash on the head that I did earlier is gone now. Probably slashing into tiny pieces wouldn't help it from regenerating", and then he walked ahead in search of the Grovelor. The Grovelor was behind him watching and waiting for its time to pounce.
Danny stopped rotating it and then the Grovelor pounced behind him.
Danny said, "I got you", and then he used 2 of his tentacles to catch it.
The Grovelor saw the tentacles coming at it and bit one of it but got caught by the other one on its neck.
Danny said, "Oh! I won this battle"
After he said that the Grovelor kept shaking vigorously and the black-mattered tentacles formed all around its body as busted itself into tiny pieces.
Danny then looked up and said, "Wait till I tell you to get down"
Noella said, "Okay!", from a distance.
And then Danny said, "And now! about our bet"
His G beeped and Sophie said, "I will keep my word and give you a bonus with it. Master has already left the Pieces and he is on his way to the bunker at the end of the Island..."
Danny asked, "A bunker?... Oh! do you mean the Dome-looking thing, right?"
Sophie said, "That is way more than a Dome, it is a safe house modelled by one of Aria's followers personally. You do remember being in one of them don't you?"
Danny didn't look pleased hearing that and replied, "Of Course! I do, So it is deeper than it looks... What was the bonus you mentioned?"
Sophie said, "Master already told Jamie what happened, That does mean you are trapped here"
Danny had a smirk hearing Jamie's name and said, "I beat him"
Sophie asked, "What?"
Danny said, "I beat him now"
Sophie still didn't understand and asked, "What do you mean, you beat him now?"
Danny replied, "I have surpassed Jamie"
Sophie said, "There is no way you think you can beat Jamie, do you?"
Noella said, "You are wrong Danny is a kid who was trained to copy any martial arts technique just by watching them fight. He had even fought with him to get a better understanding of it. And Of Course, he knows can beat Jamie"
Sophie didn't want to argue there, So, she just beeped off.
That left Noella so angry that she screamed at the G, "How dare you! Vermin"
Danny said, "It is alright! Noella!"
Noella then said, "Is that thing dead?"
Danny replied, "No! But it will have enough time to get out here before it comes back again"
Meanwhile, on the ground floor, Sarah and Dexter were at the reception desk looking for something.
Sarah asked, "Did you find anything there?", Sarah asked that as she searched the cabinets in the lower corner.
Dexter said, "Nothing that looks like a key", Dexter searched the cabinets on the top while standing on the desk.
10 minutes earlier when they had only reached the floor, they saw that the door leading outside was just ahead of them. So, they tried to go out and see but the door didn't open. They forgot what Cora said earlier.
The room or the reception was shaped like a star with 6 ends with tubes 1 and 6 near the exit, tubes 2 and 5 being in the room and tubes 3 and 4 farthest from the exit.
And now as they were searching around thinking there was a key 7th said, "Someone, someone"
That left both Dexter and Sarah to stop their search and just processing on how 7th spoke.
Dexter asked, "Did I hear 7th speak? Or was it just me?"
And then Sarah asked, "I think it is just you... but maybe 7th did, or it is how it barks, right?"
Both said at the same time, "Probably"
7th again spoke, "Coming from Tube 3, tube 3"
Sarah said, "Huh? It did speak"
Dexter said, "3rd Tube, hmm... oh! it is the one next to ours"
Sarah asked, "But... how?", looking at 7th confused.
Dexter then looked up and saw the people slowly coming down the tube-like elevator. It was Alexa and the others.
As they could see down, John said, "Benjamin! Look, it is an exit!", He said as he looked at it.
Benjamin looked down and saw an exit ahead of them and then said, "Finally"
Alexa said, "But don't you remember what the viceroy said, he said we a number of... uhh... what was it?"
Benjamin said, "Oh! 6 of us should be standing next to the door"
John then looked down to see if anyone was there before them as he noticed Sarah near the door and Dexter looking straight up at him. So, he waved his hand at him and he back at him smiling.
John said "Dexter and Sarah are already here"
Benjamin looked down with John and also Ben and Harry joined in.
Dexter below the tube said, "Sarah! Alexa is here!"
Sarah walked to the tube to see them.
And after the tube reached the reception their door opened and they all rushed towards their friends.
After that, they heard something falling and hitting rapidly. It was Tube 5. After it crashed down Dean came out first coughing and said, "Sorry"
Allan then comes out coughing and then saying "Lara! Is she okay?"
Takashi was already out tube with Lara using his ability.
Takashi said, "She is fine"
Allan then looks at Dean angrily and said, "Just because you weren't able to fight you try to kill us? What were you thinking, Dean?"
Dean joins his hands together and then said, "I am Sorry! I will not do it again, I promise"
Alexa then intervenes and asked, "Allan, he said he is sorry, right? Let him be. By the way, what did he do?"
Allan said, "He cut the wireline down letting the elevator fall free down here, luckily Takashi used his quick think and told us to shoulder-budge the tube on its sides, slowing the fall"
Dean kept saying, "Sorry"
Then they heard another loud sound but this time it felt like the roof above them was crumbling down.
Allan looked around to see if any tubes were coming down and he saw 2 coming down from the 6th one and the 2nd one.
Then the ceiling collapsed and a Grovelor fell. This Grovelor was bigger than normal. Alexa, John, Benjamin, Ben and Harry recognised it as the one they saw earlier. They all feared at the sight of it.
The Grovelor had a creature's cut-off flesh in its mouth that it was chewing and looking around. It started to droll at the sight of them around it.
All of their Gs beeped even the ones on the way down. The Viceroy said, "All of you have to get out of there! This one an irregular like the ones in the mainland...", As he was about to continue the Grovelor had a wing-like skin in its neck it flapped it soo fast that it created EMP[Electro-Magnetic Pulse] wave around it to disrupt the communication.
Rebecca said, "What did he say? A Grovelor, like an irregular. This is bad"
James was still shocked after the EMP wave.
Rebecca said, "Hey! James"
James snapped out of it and asked, "Huh? What did you say?"
Rebecca said, "A Grovelor that is like an irregular"
James said, "Ya! This is really bad. It can use EMP like them too"
Rebecca looked down to see if she could see it and saw the Grovelor staring at the kids.
Rebecca said, "James! This is bad!"
James looked where she looked and saw it this time looking straight at them.
James said, "No! This is an Irregular"
The Grovelor pounced at the tube straight at them but it didn't break. And kept following them as the elevator moved down. Its feet were like lizards that would stick.
Rebecca said, "Oh no! This is really bad!"
James said, "Stay Strong, We have taken out a few irregulars", He then put his backpack down and then took out a shotgun and inserted barrels in to get it loaded and then handed it to Rebecca and said, "Hang it around", Rebecca then hung the shotgun which had a leather strip like a backpack.
Rebecca said, "You know I am long-range, right?"
James stopped filling up the barrel on his shotgun and then looked at her and said, "Really?! haha, nice joke"
Rebecca smiled and said, "Come on! At least give me a smile, Baby", in an arousing way.
James again stopped filling up his barrel after hearing her say "Baby"
James giggled a bit and said, "Hehe, You almost got me there"
Rebecca said, "There it is"
Then they just smiled at each other for a second. The Grovelor growled, "Aaarrrlll"
Rebecca and James it a dead stare.
James asked, "What is with all these monsters' screams?"
Rebecca replied, "Same, All scream so differently"
James looked at Rebecca with a smirk and said, "No! That is not it, I meant it wants attention"
Rebecca said, "You are weird", and then she clutched her shotgun ready for it.
The door opened and Rebecca shot it immediately as its eyes were in her sight. The Grovelor moved back after getting shot in the right eye. Its tail flashed right past Dean missing his nose just by an inch after he moved back slowly.
The Grovelor stopped moving around and then looked at Rebecca and James in fury...
