"Haaah *panting* hah" - I woke up showered by sweats even though the aircon is on, i ready myself and bring my costume.
I sit next to Jacob and our classmates are nervous and others were excited, i know this is easy for me since i grown up without help to anyone. Jacob is anxiously looking at our classmates, it's my fault to bring involve him in such dangerous place which we both might die if we didn't defeat the 'Metalic Cannibal' my hands are sweating in nervous to not make it in rescue.
"I hope we make it and not the first who'll go" Jacob is stuttering a little bit but i tap his back to calm him down.
"Pssh don't worry about it you'll still get sunlight"
"By the way where's your costume?" I took out my costume in bag to show it, it's all color red with black lines to make it cool costume. Jacob expression saying like 'Is this your costume?'.
"You look Deadpool with this" he reach it in my hand to check it inside out of my costume.
Sir Nicole excitedly came in, he told us to get ready ourselves because in 20 minutes the transportation we'll use is bus. Some of my classmates sugget why we use the bus if we can get in there since all of us had vehicles. Sir Nicole says even you had any kind of transportation vehicles if you don't know where the place is then you're disqualified, those words made them sit and do nothing but to prepare themselves.
I caught Katelyn staring at me as i paying attention to what sir Nicole saying, she quickly turn away her look and didn't glimpse back to see if i caught her, she had a telepathy so i know why she didn't glance back at me..
We are in the bus where they'll send us to place of rescue activity, it's been two hours yet we're still not in there and i know why they make us use the bus instead of going in there by ourselves. They intended to tire us traveling so once we're in activity we easily get exhausted and to fail us but the main purpose of this is we are hurrying to get in there so our enery may drain a little, like what heroes does they're always flying, running, or whatever power they use to get in specific place where the villains destroy the cities.
The bus drop us in country side, it takes 4 hours to get in here and fortunately nothing accident occurred. I think this is a secluded area, a lot of trees that makes me wonder if we might lose in this forest. We walk in somewhere nearby lake, there's a man waiting in there waving at us.
"Hey!! Are guys ready? For the rescue activity?" As the man said as we walk closer, sir Nicole approach him to have conversations, i didn't clearly hear what they are talking about but i think the conversation were our safety in this place. Sir Nicole explain what the rules are and requirements to save the victims.
"There're 30 people who'll play role as victims and 20 villains so once you encounter a villain you need to fight or outscape them, and when you see an orange barricade tape it's off limits so once you crosee the tape and go further we might lose track on you so even when dusk comes you will be founded, and if something bad occurs such as severe injuries or wounds as you fight against the villains go directly back here so Sir William will heal you"
"Aishh don't be like that Sir Nicole you always precede me in my introduction. So I'm William Jones my power is healing" he happily introduce himself to us, it seems Sir William and Sir Nicole are close friend or something because Sir William acts casually towards to Sir Nicole.
"It's 9:33 am *looks at his wrist watch* the time limit is 7:30 pm if you come back late then you're failed"
"How harsh you are Sir Nicole"
"Wear your costumes now and be prepare because when i say go, go quickly now"
I wear my costume and put my goggles on my forehead, Jacob costume is color blue which opposite to mine. Both of our costume were inspired in our powers.
Sir Nicole approach me as he signal to start now, everyone quickly run off to forest but Jacob waited me as he know what Sir Nicole the reason he approach me.
"Go easy to which enemy you encounter and you will be held accountable if the forest burn out"
"What if im not the one who burned it?"
"If that happens i know it's not you because Jacob can extinguish the fire" Sir Nicole really warns me as if i'll burn the whole forest for such rescue activity. Jacob and i run off to forest even though our chance saving a victim's are slim because it already started before we enter.
"What did Sir Nicole tell you?"
"Don't burn the forest" he laugh as we run dense forest, we both stop when we hear a loud outcry, we look at each other then shrugs as if we didn't hear anything.
"You hear nothing right?"
"Yeah,, yeah i don't hear anything and if i do let's take another route-"
"Shit! I'm gonna pooped!"
"Wha! What the fuck man you should do that before we start"
Jaco held his stomach to stop himself from pooping, i kick his ass then he walk again. The two of us felt strange inside this dense jungle, we heard loud screams full of pain and asking for help, knowing that those screaming were our classmates.
"Hahh im tired, let's rest for now"
"Yeah we've been walking 1 or 2 hour/s i guess"
We sat down under a big tree to rest, we heard a scream but we didn't pay attention to it because we might get involved in their fight and we would both be beaten up.
"Let's go and find the victims so we can get back there early" as Jacob suggest.
"Pssh they just come to us, they have hands and feet, it will be tiring to find them"
With Jacob's nagging, we continued to look for victims so that we could return early and rest in peace, we also continued to turn a deaf ear to the screams of our classmates who were being beaten in their fight. while we were walking inside the thick forest we saw a shadow walking and asking for help, maybe it was those who took the role as a victim. It's too dark and the sun doesn't shine inside the big trees. we slowly approached ready to fight if he was just pretending to be a victim, little by little we saw his appearance and he looked like a victim so we immediately approached and supported a man who was walking as a cripple.
"Okay, we will come back safe and above all without scars, because he came, we finished it right away without any trouble and like I said, they are the ones who will come to us, they are the ones who need it"
They looked at me as if their faces were saying, are you serious, Jeremy? after we walked we rested and looked at the wounds and scars of the victim to see and know his condition. His condition is quite bad so we are like caretakers taking care of him instead of being heroes. while we were resting I wondered if Jacob remembered the way and he said no so I asked the victim if he knew and he also said no.
"What the fuck, how can we go back, you're a fool, I thought when sir talked to you, he told you where the way back was. Let's just ask the villains we meet"
"Are you crazy if we do that because we will be beaten and the condition of this victim might get worse. let's just climb the tree and look at the top for the way back."
"We were caught when we do that, another thing is that even if we climb a tree we can't climb that big tree *point at the top of tree*. hey i know you're role playing as a victim but you must know the way back or is there a phone we can use to call?"
The fuck! why am I the one with these two idiots, is this the next generation of heroes? just the other day I was also among the fools but this one with me today is even worse, and he even asked me if I had a phone with me, what do you expect from someone who role-played as a victim abducted in woods.
"Do i look like have a phone in this situation?!!" He raises his voice at Jacob as he scratch his hair, it seems we get on his nerve but it'll be hard to go back. So we decided to find a villain to ask where's they way back.
while we were walking, someone suddenly flew in front of us, he was covered in scars and bruises, so we immediately approached and checked on his condition. His condition was bad and his heart was beating fast and he was breathing heavily, Jacob and I looked at each other with fear and trembling, just as Jacob was about to lift the our classmate I immediately pushed him away and there was a quick man jumped behind me.
I immediately moved to save the victim and the man walked on the grass towards us, I approached Jacob next to him and said that I will take care of it, his answer was yes so he retreated behind me. I slowly approached the man and I was sure he was a villain so I'm ready to burn him alive.
"Let's make a deal you'll show us the way back or you'll taste a pain you've never experienced" it ran towards me and was ready to beat me, so I flicked my finger but suddenly Jacob jumped from his kick and immediately came close to protect them.
"Deal you say? I should be the one to say that because I was the one who got the most" he punched me with his super speed and now his power is speed enchance. it speeds up the movement of a person who possesses this power.
Jacob made a water barrier for our two companions, our opponent was punching and kicking us and it was difficult for us to defend because he was fast and what's more, he was using the trees to trick us so he could keep attacking.
His clothes were black and so was the environment, so we had to defend first and couldn't make an attempt to attack while Jacob was focused on his water barrier so that he could protect the two. we have a hard time defending because we are dizzy in the dark and stuck in place because of the roots of the trees so we don't make an attack move because it's hard for us to move properly and Jacob has a harder time defending because he uses his power to protect instead to be used in combat.
I focused and I flicked my finger and suddenly his feet exploded when he was about to punch me, our two companions who were inside the barrier were surprised but Jacob and I were so happy that we immediately kicked the villain, because of what we did we looked like villains that tramples the hero. Jacob tied up the villain with water after we stomped to get revenge for his attack.
Jacob grabbed her hair and arrogantly said that my partner said you two should negotiate but you want the hardway now, does it hurt? the villain nodded with tears in his eyes and a bruised and swollen face. the other two felt a tremor from what we did and they seemed to ask each other if what we did was heroic.
"Where's the way motherfucker!!" the villain points the way as Jacob pulls the villain's hair.
"What you did was more of a villain act than a hero and let's go next so that we can return quickly so that I can be treated"
"My partner said you'll experience something you've never experienced and did we tell you to complain? All you have to say is where's the way back, you talk a lot if you don't want to stop we'll burn your mouth too"
He immediately nodded his head many times for fear that I would burn his mouth, and suddenly a man appeared holding a tree in his right hand, he ran towards us and the villain that we caught was saying that he should not come near us he was in the same condition, and that's exactly what happened but worse he lost his leg and arm from the explosion due to the extreme heat of his leg and arm.
After we walked for a long time we got back and our classmate as well as Sir Nicole and Sir William were stunned to see us carrying a villain back.
"I have nothing to say about what you two did, you are different from everyone else" said Sir William, we threw the two villains and said that they need more treatment than our two companions. Sir William immediately treated the two and Sir Nicole still couldn't say anything until now, so did our classmates, we sat down and drank water out of exhaustion and waited for our other classmates to come back
