Katie and Augustine also just got off their tube and saw the gigantic Grovelor just next to them but facing James and Rebecca.
Augustine said, "That is huge!"
The Grovelor heard him and wagged its tail to strike him. Augustine saw it coming so he carried Katie and hopped over its tail.
Augustine said softly, "The thing can hear even that, This is not like the rest"
Benjamin said, "August, get back with the others", Augustine looked back and saw them standing.
Augustine put Katie down, then went next to the exit to stand with them and so did Katie. Allan and Dean joined them.
Dean asked, "Hey! August, Where are Andrew bro and Diana sis?"
August said, "They were taken"
Alexa heard that and went to them and asked, "Taken? Why?"
Augustine didn't answer that.
Allan said, "I hope they are alright"
Augustine said, "They were hurt back there, The person who took them away looked familiar to Andrew"
Alexa felt she knew who it was so she asked, "Was this person a Doctor?"
Augustine said, "Yes"
That was when Benjamin joined them as they heard a shot.
Benjamin asked, "What is it?"
John said, "We should all start to move out of here"
Meanwhile, Rebecca was the one who took the shot as the Grovelor tried to turn to the kids. But the shot got back its attention.
Rebecca asked, "So, What is your plan?"
James looked at her and then back at the Grovelor and said, "I thought it was obvious after you shot"
Rebecca asked, "Distract it? Till when?"
James replied, "Till the kids exit from here"
Then their Gs beeped and Viceroy said, "Instead of 6 you, it will be 3. For leaving you out to place your G on the pad next to the door", Then the G beeped off.
Alexa was thinking, "Why did they all of a sudden change it?", She thought as she looked around.
Alexa saw that George, Diana, Andrew and some others weren't there.
Alexa asked, "August, Where is Diana?"
Augustine said, "As I said, They were taken"
Alexa asked, "Why were they taken?"
Augustine paused for 5 seconds and then said, "They said their abilities were of good use to them"
Katie gave a straight face as he said that.
Katie was thinking, "Why is he lying? Alexa is just worried about her friends"
Alexa then walked to Sarah and said, "August is lying..."
Sarah asked, "Why would you think that?"
Alexa replied, "They said, my ability was the one they wanted"
Sarah said, "But That does not explain everything"
Alexa said, "I feel the same but I know this match...", and then looked straight at Sarah with yellow glowing eyes.
Sarah was shocked to see the change in her eyes.
Alexa then continued, "You should leave with the others"
Sarah asked, "Huh? What?... What about you?"
Alexa said, "I will join you later with Allan"
Sarah agreed with a nod and looked over to Dexter and tapped on Harry's shoulder and said, "Let's move out"
Then Sarah, Dexter and Harry were the 1st ones to make their way out of there.
Sarah, Dexter and Harry after making their way out. They saw a man dressed in a grey coat standing outside the entrance. And they were in a yard full of garden flowers planted in an orderly fashion on both sides of them.
The Man said, "Hey Kids! Where are the others with you?"
Dexter and the others were a bit frightened to see someone there so they were speechless.
The Man noticed this and said, "Don't... I mean not to be afraid, I am here to help"
Dexter said, "They are coming"
The Man was thinking about what he heard from his radio transponder. It was an hour ago, The Overseer came in contact with him through the channel he was connected to.
The Overseer said, "Hello, Hello, Hellooo!... Come on, this is like the 100th channel we checked"
The man responded, "I am connected, Who is this?"
The Overseer understood the voice and said, "Oh my! If it isn't Jamie"
Jamie asked, "Martin?"
Martin said, "Yes that is me"
Jamie asked, "And What is this for?"
Martin said, "For Unification as I said before. It is still a long way but we will get there eventually"
Jamie asked, "And Aria, He still believes in what you say?"
Martin said, "No, you are wrong this is our ideal and we believe in it together"
Then it was an awkward silence.
Martin then said, "I wanted to tell you they will soon be out. I hope you get there soon. One of our Grovelors turned irregular"
Jamie said, "An irregular! I thought this was the facility that you train individuals"
Martin said, "It is, and the irregular was not part of my plan but I did expect something like this and so did Aria. That is why he is here"
Jamie was shocked to hear that and said, "You mean, He is here!"
Martin said, "But only because of our plan, he will not be coming to see you"
Jamie said, "Hmm... I see, If that is all then I will be switching off the transponder"
Martin said, "Yes, and one more thing Aria told me to tell you, Move on with what you believe in", then the channel connection was cut.
Back in the current time, After reminding himself of what to do he said, "You head on ahead there will be a camp step up by my people join them. They will let you through, and also give this to them when you reach"
Dexter in it and so it written, "01101100 01100101 01110100 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01101011 01101001 01100100 01110011 00100000 01110011 01110100 01100001 01111001 00100000 01100001 01110100 00100000 01101101 01111001 00100000 01101111 01100110 01100110 01101001 01100011 01100101 00100000 01110100 01100101 01101100 01101100 00100000 01001001 00100000 01100001 01110010 01110010 01101001 01110110 01100101 "
Dexter asked, "What is this?"
Jamie said, "You will know when you get there"
Sarah looked at it and said, "I was taught Binary code, I can read it"
Jamie said, "It doesn't matter just move on ahead"
Sarah did as he said. After they got far then Sarah took the note and read after she understood it wasn't that important she stopped and said, "Just an arrangement"
Harry and Dexter were relieved to hear that.
Back inside after Sarah, Dexter and Harry left. The pad showed there was a cooldown of 40 seconds till the next group could leave.
James said, "I will take the front, So, you can take the back and cover for the kids till they can make an exit"
Rebecca said, "Roger that", and then James made a move letting the Grovelor keep an eye on him. Rebecca stood in her position till James shot it at its neck it didn't face it but gave its full attention to James letting Rebecca move around it.
Rebecca saw the kids were still there and asked, "Why aren't you making a move for it?"
Alexa was looking at the pad waiting for the cooldown to get over and after what Rebecca said that she looked at her and said, "We are trying but after 3 of us go there will be a cooldown like this", as she pointed at the pad.
There were only 10 more seconds till the next 3 could leave when the Grovelor finally made its move.
The Grovelor turned its head just slightly, James thought it was going for Rebecca so he shot but didn't know was the Grovelor was distracting him while its tail got closer to James and then it used it to trip him.
After being tripped James said, "What the...", The Grovelor brought its attention back to James.
Rebecca saw the Grovelor had closed in on James, she knew something was wrong there. So, she took a shot at its left back leg.
The Grovelor lost its left back leg from the shot, It then screamed in pain. James then took his opportunity to move around it to Rebecca's side.
James said as he reached their side, "Thanks, I lost my footing there"
Rebecca said, "It was nothing... Is the door gonna open anytime soon?", she looked back at Alexa and asked.
Alexa said, "Almost!", as it just turned 1 and then 0.
Alexa said, "Ok! Ben go with Allan and Lara"
Allan said, "No! I am not leaving here without you"
Alexa said, "I will join you just it being along with Recca and James"
Ben had already placed his G on the pad being the 1st out, then Dean placed his G on the pad and said, "I will take my leave then", and then followed Ben.
And then Takashi placed his G on the pad and said, "Take care of Lara till you are out, Allan"
Allan said, "I will"
And then Takashi looked over at Lara with a smile and left.
Then the cooldown began again.
Alexa said, "Allan, I need you to go next with Lara and John"
Allan said, "Unless you are coming I will not"
Alexa said, "I said I will but last"
James said, "Allan! Believe she will be alright, I promise!"
Allan calmed himself and asked, "Are you sure, Alexa, you will come right after I go?"
Alexa said hugging him, "Of Course"
Augustine said, "Too Dramatic, *sigh* What a drag"
Katie said, "It is normal"
Augustine said, "No"
Katie said, "Yes"
James beside them in a crying tone said, "Yes it is"
Augustine and Katie looked at James who had a straight face and looked at Alexa.
Augustine said, "I am sure I heard that"
Katie said, "I know"
James looked at them and asked, "What do you mean?"
Both sighed and said, "Nothing"
Then The Grovelor started the move around and turned its way around to them.
The Cooldown was 10 seconds left for the next group to leave when it turned around.
Alexa said, "Alright then we will help till the timer is over"
James said, "That is not needed, Rebecca and I got it all covered"
Rebecca then rushed in and James was behind him. The Grovelor tried to bite Rebecca but evaded it and then it was James who took the first shot at its left eye.
But something unexpected happened the Grovelor regenerated completely after the shot.
James didn't expect and Rebecca didn't notice it regenerate as she took the second shot at the middle of its spine. That was when she noticed the regeneration of its spine.
And then she got hit by its tail push her to the wall.
James got away from it then moved around it to get to Rebecca and asked, "You alright?"
Rebecca said in pain, "For now, Ya I am okay"
James asked, "How bad is it?"
Rebecca said, "I hit my ribs too hard... It... is too hard to..."
James stopped her from further speaking and said, "I get it, Hard to breath"
Rebecca nodded yes.
The cooldown was over and the next group had already left. Augustine, Katie and Benjamin were the ones who left. Allan agreed with Alexa that he would be going next with John and Lara.
The Grovelor got closer and closer to Rebecca and James. Then a crystallised tree formed under it pushing it up the ceiling the Grovelotrventually jumped down but got caught again by the same tree forming many other branches to trap it. The tree grew up to the crack in the ceiling and kept on growing. As Alexa then rushed to see if Rebecca was ok.
Alexa asked, "Rebecca, are you alright?"
Rebecca smiled and said, "Thanks to you we both are"
James said, "No, No, Kiddo I said you to stay away from it...", and then look at Rebecca who didn't look pleased that he responded like that.
James then continued, "*sigh* Fine! If you hadn't helped there it would have turned badly there. But you have to be careful next time"
Alexa was happy to hear that from him and said, "Of Course"
Meanwhile, the others were about to leave as the cooldown was over. They were on the way as Allan had witnessed what his Sister was capable of and after that, he left with them.
Allan, John and Lara then saw Jamie standing at the doorstep. As the door opened he tried to get in. Then spikes started to form on where he was stepping on. Jamie immediately stopped and realised that wouldn't work and also saw that Allan was still there and that he would get caught by the spike. Allan could see the spikes coming but couldn't evade away from catching him in them. But that was not the case for Jamie, In a blink of an eye Allan was in Jamie's arms outside the door. John and Lara were certain Allan was in there and now he was in Jamie's arms. They were all gaped in awe.
Jamie smiled and then looked at Allan as he put him down and said, "Sorry about that!"
Allan was thinking, "How was he able to move in there? Maybe an ability like Takashi's? But... his eyes...", As he remembered back when the spikes just started to form and that Allan was able to see them forming but couldn't move in the same speed it did while Jamie had his eyes scout around and also able to move in that speed.
Allan asked, "How?"
Jamie and the others looked at him.
Allan asked, "How did move at that speed?"
Jamie remained silent for a second and replied, "I was never asked that before..."
And then he remember what his Colonel told him before, "Tell them you are the ocean"
Jamie had a grin and then said to them, "I am the Ocean"
John and were confused about what it meant but Allan was inspired by the way said it.
Allan then asked, "Will you save us?"
Jamie then saw Allan's eyes and he was adamant about knowing it.
Jamie said, "I will. Now! I want you all to head ahead to the camp we set"
Allan, Lara and John were on their way to the camp when the door opened again.
They then looked back and saw James and Rebecca coming out of it and Alexa just behind them.
Alexa tripped over herself and fell that was when the tree had cracked open by the Grovelor. The Grovelor looked around the room to see them and saw the door was open and Alexa was on the floor getting up and resuming on her way out. It then ran inside squeezing itself. It then crawled its way to get to Alexa.
James looked behind and saw the Grovelor coming behind. He was already out and when he tried to go back in spikes formed, Jamie saw it and grabbed his hand to stop him.
James said, "Jamie, but he kid...", and then looked over to Rebecca who was still inside.
James then continued, "Rebecca, Help her out!"
Rebecca had already seen the Grovelor crawling towards them since it was very hard to miss.
Rebecca faked her foot backwards to see if the spikes might come or not and saw that they did.
Rebecca said, "Alexa, get here fast!"
Alexa then started to run to reach them.
But it was too late for her to catch up to them. The Grovelor was way faster than her and it got to her.
The Grovelor used its tongue to grab hold of her.
Allan saw this happening right in front of him which infuriated him. He ran to go help her but was stopped by Jamie when he got close to the entrance.
Alexa screamed in pain as she started to get crushed by its tongue which cut her into 2 halves.
None of them wanted to watch that but they were forced to. Allan felt like none of this was real after seeing his sister drop to the floor into pieces.
Allan screamed, "Alexa!!!"
Jamie thought, "This will not help, I will keep my word to you kid. Forgive me", And then took Allan over his shoulder taking him to the camp.
Then they saw both halves of Alexa grow into a tree trunk that grew just and the Grovelor was about to devour her. The Trunk cut the Grovelor's head from it and cover the path they came from sealing away it away with no openings.
Jamie said, "I promise kid you will be stronger to protect what you have"
Allan couldn't listen to anything he said as he felt lifeless.
Rebecca started to cry and said, "That poor kid", Then looked down and saw a pendant on the floor and understood that was Alexa's.
James said, "Come on, we have to join them"
Rebecca said after wiping away her tears, "*sniff* I know" putting the pendant in her pocket.
Meanwhile, on the 67th floor in the Laboratory, Xavier had just woken up and saw that he was in a bed with Perry seating beside him while he was reading a book.
After he got up from his bed with his hand on his head, Perry saw him wake up and said, "Ah! Finally"
Xavier asked, "Where am I?"
Perry said, "That doesn't matter, We have to go to the Bunker, Master is waiting"
