The building suddenly began to shake and was starting to make it hard for them to walk properly, Scarlet walked closer to the tunnel's entrance and looked at the runes that were engraved on its sides, and touched them. This activated her Agatha memories and she began to receive visions of Agatha talking to a group of the spiders that looked like humans. They were all seated in a huge auditorium and it looked like she was showing them the reality-warping spells as they all watched and amongst them was the blue-haired girl. At this point, Scarlet came to believe that it was Agatha who chose to share her magical secrets with the spiders but she needed to know why.
"Uhm…. Scarlet, we should hurry up through that thing. " Jack complained after hearing the shaking that was being caused by the spiders as they moved closer, this pulled her out of the vision dragging her mind back to earth. Scarlet looked around then jumped through the tunnel without saying anything to Jack and Alex who followed her from behind. There was darkness as they crossed and could see nothing for a few seconds till they reached a glowing room that was covered with cobwebs all over the walls. It looked like it was underground and Scarlet could sense that this was all Chaos magic, "Look around and see if Dr. Lin is in here." Jack gave the plan and the three of them split taking on different sides of the room. Scarlet reached for the lanes that formed a light that spread throughout the entire room, it seemed her magic was growing even faster ever since the trials. There were a lot of cocoons around the entire room and she knew that one of them had to have Dr. Lin. She additionally activated a searching spell that she spread out to find Dr. Lin.
Unexpectedly, the room shook so loudly that she almost fell off her feet, although it ruined her spell in the process. The had shock felt like an earthquake at some point,
"That isn't good." Alex yelled from the other side of the room as she conjured up a golden magical force field that she used to block the entrance then ran towards Scarlet, "We need to find Dr. Lin, and fast I feel like something is coming our way. " she said nervously while looking at the entrance. Scarlet closed her eyes and focused as she scanned through the cocoons. She then heard someone struggling from one that was attached to the ceiling of the room, "There…" she pointed up showing Alex, "… she must be there". Alex flew up and cut the cocoon that Scarlet was pointing at and a woman pulled herself out. She couldn't be recognized, but it was clear that it was Dr. Lin because she was still in the lab coat she was in from last time. Alex then helped her out and carried her as they both returned to the ground as she coughed being choked by the new air.
The force field suddenly broke as spiders began to crawl through in many numbers with the blue-haired girl leading them.
Jack yelled and released black flames from his hands burning some of the monster spiders that were heading in Alex's direction. He summoned his sword and pointed it at the girl then jumped, heading straight for her, but to his surprise, she entered his mind and forced him to stop moving the moment he was close to her. She stared at him as he remained frozen struggling to move,
"I am not here for you," she said to Jack as she immediately freed him and stopped all the spiders that were moving. She took a single at Scarlet, "You can take the Doctor. I only need to speak with the Chaos Lord. " the girl said. Scarlet looked at her to see if she was absolutely serious with her words. She then turned to Alex who was holding Dr. Lin and nodded at her,
"What do you need me for? And where is Argus? " Scarlet asked,
"I assure you your friend is okay. I cannot harm a chaos lord never. " The girl swore," You are aware that this place is flowing with Chaos magic. It was a gift that was passed on to us by your sister a very long time ago."
The girl now sounded calm and like a child with a very innocent look on her face even though the black eyes were still there. "My sister… you mean Agatha?" Scarlet slowly walked towards the girl while keeping her magical attacks on high alert.
"Yes. I am Genevieve the general commander from my world. And your sister had promised never to intervene with our activities in exchange we gave you people our knowledge about the multiverse and she gave us magic chaos magic to be precise," she continued, "you see Scarlet my people destroy worlds and we make them better Olympia just happens to be one of those that need to be changed and I need you and the boy to help me kill every human in this world to create a better one."
"And what makes you think we want to go forward with this genocide plan of yours," Scarlet asked.
Genevieve laughed, "Because chaos lords always wish the best for their worlds, whether good or bad depends on their perspective." She pulled out her blade after seeing doubt on Scarlet's face,
"Then I don't care." She then quickly unleashed a red blast of energy from her hands. However, thanks to her speed Genevieve dodged her attack instantly. It was clear that was no surprise to her since she could read minds. She appeared from behind Scarlet aiming to stab her with the blade and suck her magical power, but she couldn't when Alex's blade was sent flying and suddenly stabbed her hand forcing her to drop the blade she was holding. Scarlet just noticed when Alex jumped in between the two and kicked Genevieve with a force that sent her flying and rolling on the ground as she landed, "Scarlet, take the doctor go find Argus, and head for the city Jack and I will take care of her." She said keeping her eyes on Genevieve who was starting to regain her consciousness but Jack came in started clashing with her. This time his eyes glowing meaning he was at full strength and was stopping her from commanding the spiders.
Scarlet generally felt useless but the truth was that she was the weakest when it came to combat skills, meaning she wouldn't be of much help anyway. She nodded in response then carried Dr. Lin on her shoulder as they both slowly ran to the tunnel that they had come through earlier, leaving Alex and Jack in the fight. Scarlet used her powers to light the way while they started to hear explosions from the battle that was going on from where they were running from.
"Your friends, what are they?" Dr. Lin was surprised by the risk Alex and Jack had chosen to take.
"They are warriors." She answered with a smile on her face because she was confident that they were going to make it through no matter what.
The two reached the entrance to the tunnel and Dr. Lin was now able to move, near the tunnel was Argus, who was lying on the floor with his sword still in his hand, "Argus…" she called as they both ran to his help. Dr. Lin checked his pulse to see if he was still alive, "He's alive but his pulse is very weak." she said, "we need a hospital asap." Scarlet felt that most of his energy had been drained and his life force had grown weak, "We need to get down to the city real quick I can only heal him when am sure we are safe do you know the way?" Scarlet asked Dr. Lin as she lifted Argus into her arms.
"Yes, follow me." Dr. Lin then rushed for the stairs and ran down with Scarlet following till they were at the ground floor which looked like it was the reception after seeing the wrecked counter table and the main entrance to the building because the glass door entrance was partially intact and the sign was still glowing ENTRANCE, they all ran through quickly heading for the exit with doctor Lin leading the way. She suddenly stopped when a huge spider fell from the top and landed outside. It roared after seeing the both of them then ran breaking through the entrance forcing them to retrieve. It was so big that it couldn't fit in the lobby but continued to push through destroying everything as it tried to get to them, Scarlet and Dr. Lin ran back and hid behind the door that led to the stairs to make a quick escape plan.
There were rapid gunshots from outside that forced the creature to pull itself from the building. Dr. Lin and Scarlet saw this as a chance, so they ran as fast as they could to the entrance using the gunfire as an opportunity to escape. The creature moved outside and started to attack the armored men who were shooting at it giving Dr. Lin and Scarlet, who were carrying Argus room to run out of the building. A jeep stopped right in front of them the second they were out and a few soldiers jumped out and helped them in quickly and drove away from the scene, but the giant spider noticed and just jumped directly in front of the car and toppled it over and off the course.
