Chereads / Third Keys Book 2 Gate of Kyros / Chapter 18 - Echo-Five

Chapter 18 - Echo-Five

"Are you guys about to leave this place?" Apollo ask

"Yeah, we better get Sophia a doctor and there is one in Ishtar so we better go there instead of staying here," Maya said

"Okay then. By the way, I thought Jeremy Kidd lived there."

"Yes he did live there but after this, the upper class will want his head for opening up the gate to put humanity in danger so that's why we can't stay here anymore."

"I see. So you guys must be his crew."

"Well, to him. Family."

"Family?"

"Yeah, it is a cruel place to find anybody's family and after the gate of Kryos opened years ago it just made everything out of balance."

"I see. So when you guys fully heal and get to look for the second key don't hesitate to call me."

"So that means you want to use Jeremy."

"No that not what I mean not all. I have visions and I believe Jeremy and other people will need to build an ally so we can make the twelve comic worlds a place to call home. That is what I am trying to do and I can't do it alone."

"You talk just like him you know back there you said that gaining power is wrong."

"But alone you use that power to make a better tomorrow."

Maya smiles. "I see. I give you a call when we all heal up."

"Bye then."

"We don't have all day you know. Even the sky gets bored of hearing you talk." Red said

"Well I got my family Maya and in the future, it will continue to grow." Apollo, Red, and Blu went to go find Yellow and Black.

They enter into the underground tunnels that were built after the first time the gate opened.

"Who built these underground tunnels?" Apollo ask

"I don't know but the color legacy uses these tunnels for a long time," Red said

"How long?"

"Probably hundreds of years."

"What?"

"Yeah, I was surprised too when I heard about this."

"But who thought of this is very smart, because the structure is difficult but it is easy to guide when you are trying to travel to other places."

"Yeah, it is."

"Where these tunnels led to?"

"It led to London, Australia, Canada, Europe and South pole."

"Really, what about South America and Japan?"

"Well, Japan was among the first civilization but the tunnels don't surround the pacific rim."

"The pacific rim?"

"Well in ancient times the land was whole and there were six races not including us."

"Six races?"

"Yes, have you hear the tales of the Goddesses."

"Goddesses?"

"Yeah, the Goddesses was the most beautiful race among all the races. Well, that's what I hear of my father anyway."

"So your father knew the Goddesses?"

"No. He was old but he wasn't that old. The Goddesses lived about probably twenty thousand years ago or probably five hundred thousand years ago."

"Half a million years ago. I knew your dad knew a lot but that was ancient tales. How did your dad know that."

"Well, my dad knew very little about those six races."

"Who was your dad, Red?" Blu asks

"Johnny R. Black, some people say that he was the best marksman in history. They said that he never missed the target and that wasn't the only he could do. The rumors said that he was also a swordsman and a marksman. He also had a bounty on his head in the upper class."

"How much was the bounty?"

"The bounty was 5,765,450 diamond coins."

"What? That is crazy!" Blu said

"What are diamond coins again?" Apollo ask

"Diamond coins have more value than any other coins."

"He was that dangerous."

"Yeah, I thought I told you about my father when we first became friends."

"Sorry, I thought it was a bit emotional if I brought your dad up in front of you."

"No, it's alright."

"Okay, but how did your dad become so wanted again?"

"People said he would kill people in the upper class but knowing the upper class they probably lied just to get a good man off their backs."

"Why does the upper class dislike us?"

"What do you mean the same?"

"I mean we all go through the same thing and we all have hardship right."

"I wish that was true Apollo but it's something that you don't understand about this world. You know that."

"I know but why do the upper class don't care?"

"Like I said. It's something that you don't understand."

"Okay, but when we get to meet Yellow and Black. I want some answers from them."

"Yeah me too."

They reached three tunnels in front of them and they were trying to figure out which way to go but they were at a loss but Blu had a plan to use her dragon powers to scent Yellow and Black aura and she picked up something and she noticed that they are close.

"Guys, they're inside the tunnels," Blu said

"What? So they didn't take the bait and if they found us this would be bad for us because I don't know if Apollo is one hundred percent."

"Red, what are we going to do about them?" Apollo ask

"We led them to another way."

Blu went to go be the bait and led them to Red and Apollo.

"Why am I bait, those two. I can understand Red but why Apollo?"

Blu got up and jumped down to the tunnels where Yellow and Black were at and she went behind them and Yellow heard a noise behind them and Yellow noticed a unique aura and there is a troubled person that is moving close.

Blu felt the same pressure that Yellow is feeling and she moved silent and kept her pressure low.

"Red what's wrong with you? Red, Red." Apollo said

"This aura and ki. It must be him. The third rank hero. Echo-Five. The Shock hero." Red was very cautious and his face was sweating and his hands were shaking.

"Red, what is this pressure and this aura is overwhelming me and I thought Seth's aura was suffering me."

"It Echo-Five be careful Apollo and don't head that way. Can you tell Blu that?"

"Sorry but I can't talk to her and I don't know how."

"I see. Well, we better get over there then."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about taking me toward danger instead of from danger but anyway if we are going to face Echo-Five we better get ready then."
