Dr. Lin squeezed Scarlet's hand and pulled her closer to her face.
"You guys have the power to help us you have to help us and in return Argus told me about the gates I know where they may be. I can take you there." Scarlet could sense the desperateness in the doctor's speech.
But Before she could say more the spider moved but this time, it started to shrink down to the size of a regular human. they heard the sound of bones cracking as the creature began to screech as if it was now in pain.
Scarlet turned her focus to whatever was growing from the pile of concrete and debris. Its screeching suddenly reduced to the sound of a mere girl screaming who sized to the moment the bones stopped cracking.
A blue-haired girl then walked out of the wreckage dressed in a blue and silver dress. Her eyes were pure black and her face was so young and beautiful. This reminded Scarlet of the horror movies she used to watch with her aunt back in New York every movie night.
"What are you?" asked the girl gazing at Scarlet,
"I am not sure. What are you." Scarlet said putting both her fists up as she prepared to fight.
The girl seemed amused by the confidence Scarlet had, "You fought me when I was weak now you feel like you can even kill me. How pathetic. I just want the doctor I need her blood." she pointed at Dr. Lin who was already scared of losing her life and hiding behind Scarlet.
"Be careful she's a noble." Dr. Lin warned Scarlet from behind, "they are a lot stronger than the normal ones."
Scarlet looked around and picked a wooden leg that had broken off a chair earlier and prepared to swing it the moment it tried to get close.
The girl then moved so fast that it looked like she had disappeared and appeared right in front of them. she kicked Scarlet directly on the left side of her jaw, slamming her through multiple walls.
The girl stopped after causing enough damage. The wall had collapsed on Scarlet.
. There was a moment of silence before she suddenly pushed her hand out of the debris and litfted the concrete that had landed on her.
she was now bleeding from the head intensively and her vision was getting blurry from losing too much blood.
"Am surprised you didn't die from that hit girl. Maybe am losing my strength," she laughed, "or you're like a cockroach….hard to kill."
She squeezed her hand into a fist and blue energy started to emit from her hand.
Scarlet froze.
the girl then disappeared in a blink and again appeared in front of Scarlet and then landed multiple high-speed punches that again sent her flying into more walls with even a greater force.
The girl grew amused by Scarlet's ability to endure such attacks.
Scarlet was now on the floor, bleeding on the ground as she stared at the girl with her blurry vision, she couldn't move at all. Her body was now hurting from everywhere and couldn't even lift a finger because it would hurt more.
The girl approached her and knelt to see the look of pain on Scarlet, "You're strong, my best guess is that you're also not human. Fighting for them isn't the way we live. We are gods.... girl," she snarled,
Scarlet tried to push herself up. but it was pointless.
The girl hissed at Scarlet, "You are still too weak."
She then turned to Dr. Lin, grabbed her, and then disappeared along with the doctor.
Scarlet wanted to fight, but she wasn't healing like she was supposed to.
She then felt cold as ice began to grow where she was severely wounded at least reliving her from the intense pain. She slowly closed her eyes as she heard the steps of the others as they ran to her rescue.
it was as if the world was moving in slow motion and she wasn't in control of herself anymore. it all then faded to black...
For a second she felt her soul splitting from her body and on opening her eyes there was an intense light that vigorously pierced her vision.
It appeared to be coming from the sun. She looked around and she was laying on the ground in a garden house. Her entire clothing had changed from jeans and a black jumper to a pink and white dress. Scarlet stood up on her feet and hit the dust she had picked from lying on the ground off her dress.
She walked to the door and reached for the doorknob,
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." A woman said from the other side of the house before she could touch it. The woman was incredibly beautiful and was dressed smartly in a long red dress with a slit on the lower side like she was going to a party.
"Who are you? What is this place? " Scarlet moved closer to the woman,
"You don't recognize me." the woman said sounding surprised.
"Chaos?" Scarlet couldn't remember what she looked like, it had almost been a month ever since they saw each other.
"Indeed," she agreed. "You were dragged to this plane when you failed to use your powers."
Scarlet looked shockedsed from what Chaos was informing her about, "What do you mean failed? I healed Dr. Lin -" she remembered and started to panic once again,
"Oh no Dr. Lin I need to go back and help."
"You can't not until you learn your power my child you can't heal currently so you are in no condition to try fighting," Chaos smiled.
"Then what do I have to do."
.

.

In reality, Scarlet had been frozen in a block of ice and had been dragged back into the school by Jack. The three looked at her,
"Why isn't she healing herself?" Jack asked facing Argus.
"Ummmm she has been relying too much on the strength that she forgot how to use chaos magic and magic itself so I think she's going through trials of chaos to see if is capable of handling all that power. I had mine when I was six." Argus explained.
" Really, chaos chose now how long does that take?" Alex asked
"Minutes or hours depends on how mentally strong she is."
"Okay, well it looks like the creatures left let's use this time to restore our energy and let Argus explain what Dr. Lin said to him," Jack said and kept quiet for Argus to explain.
"This world was attacked a year ago by these shape-shifting monsters they called spiders. She said that in a matter of two weeks they had taken over the entire world but since the people were technologically advanced they made super soldier armies to fight back and when they were about to win the nobles came in a superior wave of the spiders came in faster stronger and possessed magical powers." he stopped to clear his voice, "they slaughtered forty percent of the remaining humans the rest dissolved deeper into the earth and Dr. Lin knows the way to the underground cities that's why they want her to wipe out what they are trying to protect. When she took me to the lab she wanted to crack the science behind my powers so that she could help her people fight these things."
"That is not our problem to solve we are looking for the anchors doing that will just waste our time," Alex argued and stood up straight to make herself even more clear, "look at this world its a full monster unless we find a gate we cant leave. Have you checked the map," she asked Jack
He looked at her like he had completely forgotten about the map itself, "Of course, you forgot."
He then muttered out magical words that formed the map that showed the entire multiverse. Alex moved closer for a good visual till she spotted Olympia where they were.
"Found it. It's here"
Jack stood up and looked at it, "Apparently it's near Trantor that is why we landed here if we find a gate out of where we land in Trantor."
"The next gate is over here," she pointed at the glowing light on the map, "shit! It's in the city underground."
"And the only one who knows the way is the doctor," Jack added. "So we have to help her. But we need Scarlet if we are to win this fight."
"Then let's carry her and take the underground tunnels Dr. Lin told me about them its how they travel. we go east," Argus said and waited for the others to agree.
Jack and Alex stared at each other then nodded in agreement to Argus' plan and it's not like they had any other plans to think of.
