Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Scythe beast and the group meeting

Meanwhile Hajiki Kiurniea And Gallahed Klassiwnev are trying to reach the floor zero as fast as they can. The other part of the group standing on a little balcony. Reweka Hassen still shocked by the realization, what was that little thing far back at the horizon. That thing was a kamaitachi.

"Reweka snap out of it! We need to get to the lowest layer to the ground!

So, quickly snap out of it, come back to the real world"

Nadilik Rienyik was there too, she tried to pull Reweka out of that catatonic state. She was freaking out too. Every one in the group is dealing differently this kind of "problems".

Reweka is someone who stuck between the fight or run method, while Nadilik is someone who always choose the running option.

Now the option of escape is still alive.

The wakeup call for Reweka didn't seem to work. Nadilik don't have much choice in the hurry.

*slap*

Nadilik slapped Reweka's face, gamrabbed his hand, they start to run to the other entrance which closer to the building.

"Nadilik wha... what happen? Why you slapped me?"

"You forget, a wind demon is coming to this exact place we need to get out."

*slash*

*metal screech*

"What? What?"

"Somehow the building is moving, but why?"

"Nadilik, wait! The kamaitachi was the one who sliced it"

"Huh?

You saw it?"

"Just look ahead. The entrance"

At the other entrance, or in other name the "official" entrance. There was the monster. Meter long weasel with six limb which end up in a scythe.

"How in the world this get up there so fast?"

Another though which escaped from Nadilik mind.

The answer for this question. The Sickle weasel or the Kamaitachi has an ability to control the wind around itself. Thus it could make itself the speed of sound.

A trully terrifing monster.

*whistling wind*

"Oh, crap. Do you think, it see us?"

"Of course, look at those huge eyes. It has three of it"

The monster is just standing there. While the building upper part is still sliding down.

"Why is that, it just staying there? Whatching us."

"Waiting"

"For what?"

There is new wave of metal screech. The top part of the building around floor 60 to 76 which was the top, are flipping. One of the side start rising. The slide is accelerating.

Nadilik sprinting to the entrance.

"Hey, Reweka don't stop. Or else we will die."

The weasel locked it gaze to the two Hanabak.

"When we are inside. We need to find a way to get on a lower, more stabil layer, atleast floor 59. Then we could meet up the other and get out here"

Nadilik explaining the plan to Reweka.

The gap is closing even more between the gate of escape route. the platform slighly but surely rising, now for Nadilik and Reweka, the slopes of the floor is like a medium hill. The sound of two metal friction which caused an ever rising screech.

They are at the front of the gate. The kamaitachi is focused on catching it prey. The two member in number, half of the group is focused on dodging the scythes and getting on a platform which isn't going to falled to their death.

Both of them focused.

Kamaitachi attack Nadilik and Reweka with it's two fore legscythe.

"Quick, dodge it!"

Nadilik jump into the air to dodge, while Reweka crouched to get under the blade. The attack was horizontal so the both up and down is a good solution.

"Quick Reweka leave this floor while you can!"

This whole time Nadilik sayed thing to Reweka only to save him.

Nadilik landed on the back of Kamaitachi.

"Ughh, i am on the back of the monster. Quick, i need a way get down."

The beast briefly recognize that something landed on it's back. Lower it's body to get enough momentum. Then a sudden jump, four legs open their grip, the two at the back still supporting the body. It flipped it's body. So it will smash it's back to the wall of the building, thus smashing Nadilik too.

Nadilik feeled that the Kamaitachi moving his body. She don't want be bloody sticker. At a good time, she jumped off the monster's body. She landed on the side of the building.

The platform of the building was useless, it flipped at 75 degree. Now, it tilted enought to being able to walk on the wall.

There isn't much time to leave this deadly newcoming vehicle of what this platform become.

Nadilik couldn't get a footing when she landed on the wall. She slidding down to the floor 59.

*puff*

"ugggheeh"

"uggheehee....ouch"

She landed, again. Not with the best luck. Because she hit her back. After minutes, She wakes up. There is Reweka.

"Ohh you awake. You did land on your back.

It was hurtful even to saw."

"Don' t worry Reweka, this isn't enought to put me in to an end"

Nadilik hardly stand up. At the window, or atleast what remaind of the window. She saw the Kamaitachi falling with 16 floors worth of building part.

"Reweka down!"

The Kamaitachi do another slash attack while it could. After that it falled throught ground floor.

It was hard for Nadilik. She hit her back, by a wrong landing, second after she needed to jump forward and faceplant the floorground.

Reweka dodge it easily.

There was two sound was not usually in this place or time. Mostly because of the timing.

The first was faint sound similar to that when they used carabiner to get on the lower layers, but suddenly changed to a sound similar to crying. The source was around two or three layers lower. It all ended up with a puff.

There was another sound. A blunt sound of an explosion.

"What was that sound"

Reweka asked.

"There was an explosion down there. Was there even a thing remained in that ship which could cause an explosion, big enough to hear at the floor 59"

"Nadilik, we are at floor 58, not 59."

"Huh? Where is the floor 59?"

"Down there with floor 60 to 76.

The explosion could be caused one of the working Nitrix reactor"

"There was Nitrix reactor in that ship, and they even worked. Ohh man. We could make money of those, too."

"Yeah, but we don't know surely why those reactors exploded."

"Of course, because the impact from the landing."

"What if, the impact wasn't the only factor. What if the reactor explode while idling, and we were in a bad timing?

It would be dangerous"

"Yeah, it don't worth it. Especially without examining the reactor."

Nadilik looking out the window. This one is a real window, not just a hole on the wall.

And the window is in a good condiction.

It was a bit uncommon to found something on this building which is relatively in good condition.

She just looked at it.

Slowly raising her hand, strecthing out for touch the frame of the glass window.

She gently touched the frame.

The frame started to tipping over, and it is now falling.

Reweka turn around and saw the window is falling.

"Can we call this building officially ruined?

Even the only and the last glass window doesn't want to stay here."

"Haha, should we follow that window's way of life and get out here"

Reweka joking about the window jumping out just from one touch.

Nadilik appriciatted the joke, but didn't give her a smile.

"Look Reweka there is a rope tied to this column."

"It lead to that hole on the floor, but someone or something cut it.

Maybe Hajiki and Klassiwnev are down there"

"Maybe, maybe not."

"Ohh, please don't paint Laplace on to the wall! Please!"

This was a saying in ChronoKhasio. It not a sentence was used commonly. It means don't jump to the worst option in the start, even if there is no chance that would be happening. Because by saying those words can give a chance to happen.

Laplace was the highesh ranked Hanaless. Feared by any creature who heard it's name. There is numerious myth and legend about this mighty beast.

One is, Laplace created all of the Hanalesses. The king of the monster.

But this all just myth. No one could say for sure it existed.

Why the saying was rarely used, because there is an another myth.

Saying his name, could be enough to summon him.

But, of course this never happend, still the myth and legend are existed and knowed by many.

The Hanabaks only used this sentence, when they biggest fear was casually speak around, or someone carelessly mention.

This sentence bring silence many times.

"Sorry Nadilik. They are alive, I am beliving them.

Hajiki is strong, she can defend herself and Gallahed."

"Yeah, thank you."

"Now, we should follow that fellow glass window"

They tied their rope to the found rope. Both of them took their carabiner, attached to the rope.

"Now we just need to go all down to the bottom of this abyss like hole."

"Yeap"

"Here we go"

Both them hugged each other and jump to the the lower levels of this building.
