Chapter 24 - Electromagnetic sound waves

With the rays hitting the flat, smooth surface of the ceiling, it met the ground and made electromagnetic sound waves when they hit each other. In the meantime Natasha was holding the rope tightly in her hands. Tying it around my waist.

- When I give the signal you already know what to do? - asked Natasha

- Yes, I'm ready. - replied Andrew

Natasha jumps on her back and holds on to the bar under the lead balls, making turns and throwing her body to the floor.

- Now! - shouted Natasha

Andrew jumped, the rope broke, ending up unbalanced going straight to the ground, Natasha realizing this throws a few bags of torn foam towards Andrew who in one of them ends up falling

- It cost. - said Andrew

- Come on, look at the time. - said Natasha

Natasha ran as she looked back to see Andrew, she felt something kick in her belly and throw her away. Skidding over the land, the girl stopped on the other side of the park.

A giant mechanized bear with white fur, green leisure eyes, with a red bow tie and a snack in his ears knocked her out.

- Bad idea, teddy bear. - said Andrew

Natasha raises the sweat off her face dryly, looking at her mud-stained shirt with the bear's footprint stamped on her stomach.

- It was my favorite shirt, you idiot. - said Natasha

The teddy bear positions himself in a fighting pose and waits for Natasha to approach and gives his first blow, Natasha deflects throwing his body forward, kicking one of his robotic eyes and breaking in half.

- This is how the first strike takes place. - said Natasha

The teddy's affection changed completely becoming furious with the situation, with a look of hatred and resentment, its claws appeared sharp and ready to attack.

Scratching one of Natasha's cheeks making a mark on her face, dripping a little blood on her jacket.

- You didn't do it! - said Natasha

Natasha jumps and leans on the teddy's head, wanting to pull it out anyway.

- This time, you do not escape me - said Natasha

Natasha pulls her ax from her waist and sticks it in one of the teddy's eyes, pulling it out completely.

She goes down and the robot gets on her knees and falls face down, Natasha looks up in celebration and Andrew applauds her.

- It was spectacular!

- Thanks.

Suddenly when the young people were going to say goodbye to the park, the teddy bear gets up again with the empty background blinking and sparkling, ready for the second round.

- Yeah, I don't think it's over. - said Natasha

- It was too easy. - said Andrew

The circuits exploded into millions of pieces and knives went through Andrew and Natasha, throwing Andrew to the ground and turning his body backwards, touching his head at the hip she deflects.

- Impressive. - said Andrew

- Years of contortionism were worth it. - said Natasha

When we arrive at the beginning of the park, they see a small glow dazzling their eyes, the small bottle was at the tip of a volcano of an attraction at the end of the attraction.

- How do we get there without being attacked? - asked Natasha

- If we camouflage ourselves? We can go unnoticed. - replied Andrew

- Nice idea, but how are we going to do that? - asked Natasha

- We can draw a perimeter, separate and lose track. - replied Andrew

- As soon as it is done. - said Natasha

At the door there was a big billboard with maps of the park, we took pictures to guide us along the way.

- Following the instructions we will get there at the same time. - said Natasha

- I hope it works. - said Andrew

Natasha and Andrew went in opposite directions, Andrew went east and Natasha west, in order to face the trials and challenges that were yet to come.

In the direction of Natasha's vision it was possible to have a wide view of the park's scenery itself, everything was full of incandescent lights that blinked and illuminated the girl's path. The floor beneath Natasha's boots dragged over the sand that rose slowly with each step she took. Raising your hands to tie your hair tightly and tightly to the elastic, focusing your vision on the long path. Natasha's eyes danced with the colors, stopping in front of a small tent that caught her attention, admiring the attraction, she ended up not noticing the danger approaching.

- What a beautiful thing, well thought out. I think I'll take one. said Natasha holding a miniature Russian doll, with a red veil matching her well-designed outfit.

Approaching Natasha a horrifying creature appeared . He looked like a skeletal robot without a face, large blades appeared from his hands on the top of his knees. Dragging them on the floor, shining their reflection in the tent's mirror, Natasha dodged as soon as one of the blades cut the support she held, causing it to demolish.

Natasha threw her body backwards, gave a mortal, followed by a star and with a jump she grabbed one of the ropes, next to a target shooting toy.

- Don't tell me we're going to start a battle. - said Natasha

Shooting her deadly claws at her, scratching the air in several strokes in a row, the skeletal being struck Natasha in the face, while throwing her against the nearest tent . Hitting and breaking it in half, everything was destroyed with the whole scenario.

Natasha dried the blood from her mouth, removed the wooden debris from her body, took off her jacket and tied it around her waist, tightened the laces on her boot and stood up when she realized the next attack. Rolling over the remains of the tent and heading towards the asphalt, she launched her body.

Looking up, he felt one of the blades touch close to his head, pulling a strand of hair from Natasha.

- You didn't do that. Don't mess with the hair of a girl who is furious. - I say

The skeletal being tilted his head to the side and turned his body several times in order to hit Natasha's face. With a kick she hit his abdomen, causing the robot to skid across the floor and stick its blades across the floor.

- Did you like that, scissor hands? - asked Natasha

Natasha smiled wiping the soot from her face, the girl leaves on top of the being, to conclude the blow. A body fight begins again, with punches and kicks Natasha takes the blows and then dodges to protect herself.

...

Andrew followed the path, illuminating with the flashlight of his cell phone, everything was dark and gloomy. With every step he took, he felt a tremendous chill go down his spine, his breath was frozen, so much so that the cold air came out of his mouth.

The boy walked until he found a weird toy, he was a photographer and guard on his cell phone, he was going to show it to Natasha soon after, suddenly he senses that something was wrong. In the distance a figure appears, illuminating the path, the lights come on and a figure of a scary clown, with sinister makeup and dressed in a harlequin outfit holding a chainsaw in his hands.

Andrew's eyes widened in astonishment, the fear he most feared had materialized. In front of him his worst nightmare became a true and incredibly macabre reality.

- It can't be true! Today is definitely the worst day of all in my life. said Andrew

With a really dark laugh, the harlequin clown started the chainsaw with a wide smile, running towards him with the murderous look of a serial killer.

- My God, today I die. - said Andrew

Andrew wielded his swords and moved them slowly and made a sign of "may come" and cast all his courage into that challenging and constantly dangerous challenge.

- I'm armed and ready for battle. - said Andrew

The clown came very close to Andrew, passing the chainsaw almost touching his shoulder. The boy felt a slight burn, bleeding his arm. It had been a slight cut, Andrew closed one eye in pain, but he continued to fight bravely.

- Buddy, it was a bad idea that you did that. - said Andrew

Andrew wielded his right sword and cut off one of the clown's hat pompoms, which was extremely irritated by the situation. The smile disappeared from his ghostly face. Turning into a skull with totally dark eyes that it was possible to see Andrew's reflection.

- Dude, it was just a joke, don't take it so seriously ! Friends who knows? - asked Andrew

The figure of the clown remained serious, he turned around and walked on his back and stared at Andrew. And stopped standing still. He dropped the chainsaw still on the floor. And he pulled a flower out of his pocket and sniffed it and called to Andrew with his hands.

- Don't even think about it, buddy. It's not on my list to be killed by a maniacal killer clown. - said Andrew

The clown started to cry with his head down, when he lifted his face from his eyes, tears as black as ink appeared.

- Sinister. - Andrew said - Where is Natasha when you need her?

The little flower, began to shatter before Andrew's eyes, until only the stem was left, the petals turned to sand before even touching the ground. From there, a small dagger of thorns emerged.

- You Must be kidding. Today is definitely not my day. - said Andrew

Andrew took a step back, running into the toy that was a few meters away, making it disappear, when he entered he realized that it was a huge mirror room, the reflections were distorted and inverted forming a large maze.

He hid and the clown followed, following the trail of footprints, arriving at the mirror room, breaking all the mirrors along the way. Approaching where Andrew was.

In a matter of seconds, the two came face to face. The hunter and the hunter in the same destination, only one would do well. But which one would survive.

- It doesn't have to end like this! - said Andrew

Liam's swords scratched the clown's arms, injuring his skin. Something supernatural happened, smoke went up in the air, knocked the clown out with a punch, falling bewildered to the ground.

When Andrew turned around, the clown stood up and took him hostage, placing the dagger on his neck, hanging him.

- Please let me go. - Andrew said almost breathlessly

With his legs barely touching the ground, Andrew was being lifted. Without much reaction, he tries to reason what would be the best way to escape, putting into practice and remembering what Natasha had taught during the short time together.

- A good warrior is always three steps ahead of danger. Use the strategy to escape the challenges. recalled Andrew with Natasha's voice in his head

Putting his hands in his pocket, he pulls out a small knife and cuts the clown's elbow and immediately releases it.

Falling in a horizontal position and supporting his feet by suspending his fingers against the floor, he stands with his arms open giving support to his body.

- My turn. - said Andrew

Running on top of the clown, he holds his legs around his neck and throws him on the floor, squeezing his thighs and leaving the clown out of breath.

Leaving from above, Andrew runs to the exit, but before the clown op surrenders with his tongue dropping him and dragging the boy.

- You never give up? - asked Andrew

Breaking the mirror pane, Andrew cuts the scary clown's tongue, and sticks in his belly and in a moment the creature disappears in a curtain of smoke and fire.

- Finally free - said Andrew - Now I have to find Natasha

...

Suspended upside down, Natasha was in the hands of the skeletal being, the girl was in trouble, trying to reach her faithful ax, she tries to get free but was trapped and in a tight spot.

- I don't think I can get out. - I say

I remember that I always kept something in my boots, I shake it out. Descending slowly was his pocketknife, as soon as he fell, Natasha opened her mouth and held it tightly with her teeth.

- I did it - said Natasha

Pinning the knife to the skeletal being's chest, a little oil splashes and disoriented him. Dropping Natasha.

She gets up and runs towards the tents, realizing that one of the blades was coming towards her, Natasha throws herself inside one of the tents and is lying in silence.

On the lawn, there were some bottles lying on the floor, she takes one that was a little hot and drinks it.

I was very thirsty, I needed to hydrate myself. Anyway, that was a gift from heaven.

Slowly I rest my head, put my hands on my face, still not believing that it was happening.

A stunning silence left the atmosphere extremely heavy, leaving me worried and anguished without knowing what could happen.

Suddenly a voice broke the peace that was in place, it was Andrew looking for me. It could be a trick, so I didn't answer, I just kept quiet and didn't move.

The tent shook, with the impact of something going against its structure, Andrew had been launched.

- Andy ... - I whispered

- Nat - replied Andrew

- Glad you're alive - said Natasha

- It's almost, half alive. But a hundred percent broken - said Andrew

Natasha smiled, getting up and helping the young man to get up.

- Ready for the second round? - asked Natasha

"I was born ready," said Andrew

- Perfect, come on

Raising his swords, Andrew takes a position. Meanwhile, Natasha wields her ax, which glows in the moonlight.

"Our big night," said Andrew

- You attack my signal, okay? - asked Natasha

- Combined. - said Andrew

The enraged skeletal being was in a fighting position awaiting the youth movement.

- Now! - said Natasha

Andrew throwing his sword, turning vertically, hits the head and is firmly attached, leaving the monster stunned.

Natasha throws herself over the skeletal being, knocking him down with her knees and fiercely hitting the body with the ax blade, completely destroying Andrew with the remaining sword, broke and removed the robot's arms.

- We achieved. - said Andrew

Natasha hugs Andrew tightly in the middle of the wreckage. With their faces almost glued, the park lights illuminated the scene between them, raindrops splashed on their faces.

- Yeah, sorry. I think we better go. - said Natasha

- You're right. - said Andrew

Following the path, Andrew and Natasha were very close to the toy that had a volcano, where the bottle with the antidote for Liam was.

The two ran to get there faster, when an invisible wave threw them away, making them fly over the sand.

- What was this? - asked Andrew

- I don't know, but something tells me they don't want us to get close to the toy. - said Natasha

Explosions and destruction scenario

Andrew helps Natasha to get up, holding hands he manages to lift the girl.

- Are you okay? - asked Andrew

- Yes, I am - Natasha replied - And you? - asked Natasha

I realize that something is wrong, when I see the ground covered with wires, buried underground, I step on one of them that explodes. I quickly grab Andrew's arm and get on the ferris wheel.

- What happened? - asked Andrew

- Look, land mines. They are hidden, everywhere. - replied Natasha

- What will we do? - asked Andrew

- Let me think, first we need to find out where it is safe to step. Then what is the possibility of having more traps and finally what is the best way to get out of here safely. replied Natasha

- How about, we photograph the perimeter, so it will be easier to identify the safe points. said Andrew

So we did, Natasha and I caught identifying the places where we couldn't step, we went down to the ground, it was a minefield. We were in the middle of the road, when Natasha accidentally steps triggering one of the mines, we heard a sound coming from under the ground, I threw my body to protect it . Dropping it to the floor a few inches away.

Everything starts to shake violently, we run as fast as possible thus triggering more and more landmines.

Behind us, there were many explosions per minute, coming close to us, there was a war field through our eyes.

We ran away quickly enough and hid in a gigantic toy, with many stairs, we barely realized what we had reached.

We climbed the stairs quickly, we could see the destruction outside, the park was collapsing even faster. Resting on the stairs Natasha sat on the steps.

- Go on, I'm waiting here. - said Natasha

- Nothing like that, we will go together. - said Andrew

The boy and the girl climbed to the top, realizing that they were certainly on the volcano toy. They had succeeded, it was necessary to run out of time before they died trying.

- Let's find the bottle. said Natasha

At the end of the toy, he led through a small, narrow ladder with no support to hold on to, carried the flame from the volcano where the flask was.

- One of us has to go, but it's dangerous. - said Andrew

- I will. - said Natasha

"No, " said Andrew.

- What? - asked Natasha

- This time I have to go. - replied Andrew

- Okay then, but be careful. - said Natasha

"Don't worry, I'll take it," said Andrew

Andrew went up carefully while Natasha watched from the window, he was almost holding, suddenly birds started flying over his head causing Andrew to almost fall.

- Andrew, get it! - shouted Natasha

She threw her lighter at Andrew, who immediately lit it, the flames startling the birds that left quickly.

- Thanks Nat - said Andrew

- You're welcome, we have to go. - said Natasha softly

We left on the way back, took the cart and went through the cave, until we reached the exit, safe and sound.

- I thought for a second that we couldn't do it. - said Andrew

- Actually, I thought for the same reason too. - said Natasha

Back in the city, Lilian was beside Liam holding her cold hands, she goes to the kitchen to get something to eat. As soon as his back was to the living room, a creature breaks the glass of the main window, Lilian was close to the cutlery.

- Today is not a good day. - said Lilian

The creature looked like a large panther the height of a man, with an enigmatic and at the same time enigmatic look. The animal watched as it circled. When she opened her mouth, a large snake tongue appeared, Lilian realized that it was not a creature of this world.

- I have no option but to fight. - said Lilian

With the knife in her hands, she puts it in a horizontal position. With his eyes fixed on the creature, he waited for what came next.

Pouncing on the little girl, the creature tried to snap, but Lilian was quick and cut off the cheek of the animal that complained of pain.

Grunting loudly, the animal tried to enter Liam's room, observing the scene, Lilian stood between the creature and the room, taking the animal's neck, the girl said:

- Do not try anything with it, or I will tear your throat out.

Placing the knife on her neck, Lilian did not think twice and cut quickly, in doing so the creature burst into flame, throwing the girl against the refrigerator. Make him pass out on impact, dropping the knife beside him.

Natasha and Andrew did well in the challenge, but they still feared for Liam's life that was on the line, they would need to arrive in time, or lose what was most precious to Andrew, his brother's life.
