Chereads / THRAK / Chapter 41 - Lunar Sea 1 : The Airport

Chapter 41 - Lunar Sea 1 : The Airport

The private jet landed at the airport. Finally, they had arrived at their destination.

As the door opened up. Syd Barrett, holding sally's hand, leads the way out following by the gang.

Right now the next objective is to get out of here.

Since they arrived, Syd noticed that the atmosphere between Roxxy and Jody was somehow unexplainably uncomfortable.

It was like that since they were on the plane.

It made Syd wondered.

But he should take it later. Because now the mission has started.

Another person who's getting fucked real hard was Mickey Mannix.

He's been roasted by Sera all the way here. Even right now, they're still roasting each other.

" Hey."

As Roxxy declared, everybody stops doing things and listens to her.

They know the mission already begins.

Time to get serious now.

" Remember, We don't know who will be coming after us. In the worse case, they probably know one of our faces. And that is the worst thing that could happen. We can be attacked at any time. The mission is Escorting Sally back to the safe house, transporting her to the HQ at all costs."

After came across the immigrant office...

" Ah, shit. It's raining outside."

Looking outside through the glass, Toshi saw the black clouds and he knew it was about to rain, moreover, it's a storm. 

" Welcome to London, a place where we have 4 seasons in 1 day."

Sera said.

" Brother... I wanna go to the toilet..."

"....."

Syd turns his face go Sally.

" Bitch, really?"

The girl smiled in embarrassment.

Because they are already near the exit.

" Why didn't you do it while you're on a plane?"

".... Sorry...." 

Syd sigh.

" Can you bear it?"

He asked.

" .... I don't think so...."

" Alright. Alright. Y'all waiting here. I'll take this brat to the toilet."

"....."

Syd takes Sally and walks back, However, He paused.

" Wait... Sally is a girl...and I can't get in the woman's toilet... Shit, we need a woman to protect her while she's in there."

" I'll go."

It was Jody who raises her hand up.

.

.

.

.

.

.

After Jody took Sally into the airport's restroom, Syd was waiting outside, but not very far from there.

"...."

"hm?"

He noticed something bizarre appeared like 10 meters away from him.

He saw the floor wavering.

He saw the floor under the bag's shop wavering.

Like water.

" ?!..."

As Syd rubs his eyes and stares at it again, it stops.

"..."

He was thinking that it may be his own imagination, but something inside him told him that it's not.

Suddenly, he saw it again. But this time, it was on the book store on the opposite side of the toilet.

"..."

The cleaner was doing her job, cleaning the floor not too far from the book shop. She accidentally drops the trash on the floor and one of them was a can of cola.

Syd saw the can was rolling on the floor, it's getting near that wavering floor and then something happened.

The cola can float on the floor, Like the way it floats on the water. Parts of the ground are wavering around the can as if it was water.

!!!!!

This time he knows it, it's not his imagination.

He suddenly turns back to the woman's toilet and shouts.

" Jody! Hurry up! "

"....."

But no response.

Is he staying too far? 

Turning back, he saw that the wavering is also getting closer towards him.

"!!!!!!"

This is no joke.

Syd kicks inside the woman's toilet, harshly.

S L A M!!!!

Other women in that room were shocked, they all turned their faces to his way.

One woman was about to scream out, however, Syd closed the door loudly and pointed to her face.

" SHUT THE FUCK UP! IT'S NOT YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS!"

At the same time, Jody and Sally are about to wash their hands. 

They also shocked at him too.

" Syd?!... What are you doing?!..."

Jody asked.

Syd didn't reply but as she saw his face, she immediately knew something bad was happening.

"We're getting fucked!"

That's what his face is saying.

Syd quickly walks near to Jody, he then used his power to swap the aspects of the steel with Jody's legs.

Jody then proceeds to hold Sally's hand and drags her out, following Syd as soon as possible.

" W..What? s-sis?! What happened?!"

" I don't know. But it's not good, I'm sure."

After they got out of the toilet, they saw the shocking image.

The entire book shop, including the staff, the cleaner, and even all the things around there are sinking into the ground.

The people all over there are running around in chaos, some are being sucked by the ground and slowly drowning into it.

" What -?!... What the hell is that?!"

" I don't know, Jody. But if we step on the wavering floor, we're about the end up like them!"

Syd then leads them the way to get out of here, they avoided stepping on the wavering floor, as the turned right to go to the exit...

They found that all the areas are surrounded by the wavering floor.

Which means they're also being blocked from the outside.

" Shit! "

" Syd! I can't call anyone! There's no signal! "

No need to give a command. Jody already tried to contact the person outside but the signal is blocked.

" We've been played..."

Jody turned back, she found that the waves are coming into their way.

" Syd! We can't stand here!"

" Jody!! Behind you!!!"

?!

The floor under Jody is sucking her feet.

Her instinct reacts automatically, Jody used another leg to spring herself up, rotating around. Then She shot the air bullets right to the big advertisement sign hanging on the ceiling.

The sign falls down, landing on between them and the wavering floor.

She's using it as a bridge to cross between the hard floor and the wavering one.

" Syd! Be Careful!"

Because right now Syd was also carrying Sally. So he risks more than her.

Looking down, the wavering area is expanding. They must hurry up!

C R A C K!

Suddenly, the sign cracks down because of overweight, lucky for Jody because she'd already step down on the hard floor. But not with Syd Barrett, because he's still crossing, but Syd reacts quick enough to toss whole Sally's body up to Jody before he falls down to the sea-like ground.

"SYD?!"

Jody holds Sally, then shouted out to him.

Syd's whole body is sinking. As he tried to swim, he found that it was useless.

This is not water at all.

It's more like a Quicksand...

" Oh FUCK Me!!! "

The more he struggled, the more his body got sucked.

" SYD! HOLD MY HANDS!"

Jody puts Sally down and grabs Syd's hand, but as her finger comes to contact with the wavering floor, She felt an incredible amount of force was trying to suck her down.

" Hgggg?!?!.... What the fuck?!..."

Jody quickly pulls her hand out of there. At that moment, Syd Barrett used another hand that hasn't been on the floor yet, raises it up, a black-red aura comes out his body.

" !? "

Syd floats up the floor as if he's using a creative mode in Minecraft. 

That surprised Jody very much.

He floats up until he gets out of there, canceled his ability, and lands on the hard ground peacefully.

"What was that?!"

" I swap my weight with the air. When I saw the can of cola was rolling into it, It floats. Which means this floor is behaving as if it's a liquid..."

Suddenly, there's someone calling them from the other side, the food section.

" Over here! "

That sound woman is coming from the "Cafe" calling them.

They turned their face to her way, she's about 10 meters away from them.

Since the waves are getting closer and closer, They have no choice but to get there.

Although the floor around there is also wavering, it's not a problem for Syd Barrett.

He carried Sally with himself, then he jumps over and over on the tables, and chairs around there and landed in front of the Cafe. Same as Jody.

Finally, they arrived in the Cafe, the girl then shuts the door and locked it.

Turning their faces back, they saw many objects outside was sinking into the ground, even large objects like pillars, advertisement signs, seats, sofa and etc, have no exception.

"... This must be the enemy's ability..."

Jody whispered into Syd's ear.

He nods.

Syd grabbed Sally tightly with himself.

They found that they got themselves stuck within the place with another 5 people in there.

The male police officer, he's around 40.

The young tanned woman who called them, she looks like a tourist.

The cafe's staff at the cashier, she's a middle-aged blonde girl.

The male airport's cleaner, he's a young man.

The female British police officer, her aged is around 30.

"....."

Glaring...

" You all are here because of that?"

He points out to the wavering floor outside.

" Not really." 

The tanned girl nods,

" I was already here before that happens...These two police officers and the cleaner were the ones who get here. I was shocked at that... Somehow everything sinks into the floor... But looks like it can't get in here for some reason...I don't know... But I couldn't get out either...I tried to call for help but the signal is cut off... That's why we're stuck..."

Syd and Jody still not put their guards down.

" Who are you"

He asked.

" I'm 'Rachel'. I'm a tourist like you guys. I've been waiting for my friends but... Since this happens...I'm stuck..."

Rachel said.

"....."

Syd walked passed Rachel, facing everyone in the cafe, glaring at them in full suspicion.

He kneels down to Sally, whispering into her ears.

" Brat. Do you see any of them owning a weapon?"

"....."

Sally be silent about a second.

" 2 policemen over there have a gun...but..."

She glared back and forth, 

" other than that... I don't see anything suspicious, brother..."

Sally said.

"....."

" Go back to Jody, brat."

The girl nods, she then quickly ran back to Jody and hid behind her.

" Mister, May I ask why are you being so nervous?"

Suddenly, the only cafe's employee in here asked him.

Syd turns his face to her.

"...."

Glaring.

" It's my god damn business." 

Syd coldly replied to her back.

" Woah, Woah... Pal. She's just asking."

The male cleaner stood from the chair, walking straight to Syd Barrett.

" Yes, but I don't remember asking for your opinion either. So why interfere? "

Syd knocks him back with that.

" Sir. I don't want to interfere at all. But your mannerism is telling me that you are lowly educated. So, If you gonna cause the trouble here. We will arrest you."

The male 40-year-old police officer told Syd. Another female police officer also staring at him too.

" Lowly educated? Huh. Said by a group of people who only good at shooting the blacks? I don't think so."

Yet another knockback from Syd.

" Hey."

The male officer seems to be triggered by that one. 

" What? What are you gonna do? You wanna fight back, mr.cop? Huh? Would you like to see how many articles they have about you guys?"

Syd still being Syd.

" Hey. Kid. It's not like all of us will be like that. Don't judge all of us by just an article in the news."

The female officer said.

Syd was about to say something, but Jody taps his shoulder, she shook her head, whispering to him.

" It's no use to argue with them, Syd. I know you are better than them. Don't downgrade yourself just to fight with these people."

However, that's not true at all. Jody only used some tricks to calm Syd down so that he could stop messing around like this.

His obvious characteristic is cockiness. So Jody used some speaking strategy to convince a cocky bastard like him.

" Hmm, Yeah you're right. No use at all."

" Mister... How about you?"

Rachel, the tanned girl, asked.

" I'm Syd. This is Jody. And this little girl here is Sally. We are also tourists like you. That's all."

Syd replied to her.

" I'm Amy. I'm a new employee at this cafe. I've just started working here 2 weeks ago."

Amy, the blonde girl employee said.

" I'm Mike, I've worked as a cleaner for 2 years. And I never see anything like that happened before."

Mike, the airport cleaner staff said.

" I'm Brad, this is my buddy, Sam. We're watching you, kid. If you and your girlfriend tryna have some problems with people here, we'll see."

" HueHueHue, Like I care, nig--Oww?! "

Jody harshly twisted Syd's ear.

"What did I say?"

Jody politely asked, but hidden with some scary energy.

"....."

Syd glared at her in displeased.

" Hey, kid? What is your relationship with these 2? "

Rachel asked Sally. However, the little girl is too scared to answer her question.

" She's my younger sister."

Jody touched Rachel's shoulder and slightly push her a little bit away from them, showing that she also didn't trust anyone here. Her intense aura is being sent down to Rachel's spine. Making her know at the instinctive level not to come closer to Sally.

Of course, that word of hers was a lie. But this is to protect Sally's true identity at all costs.

" Now. Please. My little sister is a bit shy girl. And you are scaring her, don't you think?"

".... I...I'm sorry...."

"..."

"......"

" It's okay."

It took Jody like 3 breathes before she replied Rachel back.

" Hey...You..."

Abruptly, Amy, the cafe employee points her finger towards Jody.

"....?"

" You ain't from the UK, right? You're American? Your accent sounds so American to me..."

"..."

" Yes. I'm American."

As Jody replied to her, Amy looks like she had found a new friend.

" Wow! Really? I'm American too! Which states are you from? "

"..."

".... Newyork"

" What?"

" What?"

".... You do not sound like that... I felt like... Let me guess... You are originally from Philadelphia or around that, aren't you? "

?!?!

".... How do you know?"

" Well, because I'm Philly too."

Amy said, 

" It's good to see someone from the same home here...."

Josy and Sys felt a little relieved. But still not letting their guards down.
