A spatial crack appeared at Echelon High School's gate and Tommy burst out from it, panting heavily...
But then, his eyes widened in realization. However, before he could do anything about it, it was already too late.
A swarm of students from the high school who had been dying to meet with the rumored president son gathered him...
From a single student, it became a swarm of them... asking questions together, expecting an answer and then– asking more questions all over again.
Tommy did not even know what to do.
He tried to push his way through the crowd but... unfortunately, the media arrived and had him on cam record.
The entire world was seeing him.
And the worst part is that, even those unknown kidnappers from earlier should have learnt of his whereabouts.
Tommy also registered something in mind...
The President's mob is definitely on their way to pick him up.
So is the kidnappers...
Who in the end will get to this spot first.
Who am I kidding?
Immediately, he unleashed his world from Unconsciousness.
Without batting an eye, he used the law of his Universe to isolate himself from the crowd of mundane students.
The yard over seventy years plus stirred mysteriously and everyone within that yard was pushed out of it.
No one could get into Tommy's world... and if any one tried to get into the world's range, they would feel an isolating resistance– preventing them from every crossing the seventy yards range.
Immediately, Tommy turned. Seeing someone familiar, he used Void feet to take hundred steps towards them.
The crowd saw a spatial crack appear, Instantly sucking the president's son into it.
And...
He was gone!
...
"He's stuck there... shouldn't we assist him?" Riele was staring at the crowd which surrounded the president's son– Tommy.
"I'm not sure. The people are quite frantic when it comes to him. Going in there is akin to committing suicide." Edward said, calm and collected.
But suddenly, his face twitched when he saw a very strange scene.
A scene that only Awakeneds could decipher. Almost a month ago, Edward had finally Awakened only... he hadn't grasped the Stream-entry realm.
Edward saw a very strange scene– a white line rippled through the air... and almost seventy yards of it covered the earth.
Almost immediately, the crowd around the president's son vanished... Only sticking around... Seventy yards away.
Edward was stunned.
Isolation.
Edward turned to Riele. "The president's son is actually a powerful Awakened. I did not know that he could isolate himself completely..." Edward was surprised and excited, revelling in the power he was to tread on as Awakened.
However, Edward's jaws dropped when he saw a crack appear before them.
And Tommy walked out of it, alongside his soul dimension.
A heavy pressure suddenly assaulted Edward and Riele, but that was it... Tommy quickly reversed the side effects of his world, although keeping them within it.
Tommy's mouth parted to say something, but he was stunned silent, realizing that Edward had already Awakened.
"Uh... hi"
Riele broke the stalemate, staring dreamily and nervously at Tommy.
Edward could still see the white ripples which hovered above them, and spread far... Covering seventy yards of the earth.
Curious, he asked.
"What is this ripples I see around us?"
Riele who hadn't Awakened was surprised as she looked around. She did not see anything.
Tommy looked around too and replied. "It's my world... you might not even understand, so, I'd advise that you become a Stream-entry expert first."
Tommy's face paled realizing that the president's mobs should be close now due to the noisy siren coming from the road at the farther end.
Tommy used Void feet and a spatial crack appeared in the void.
He turned towards the duo.
"I can hold this rift for two seconds... You have to enter it before the seconds elapses."
Tommy jumped into it...
It still remained alive.
< 2 >
< 1 >
Edward grabbed Riele and vanished into it before the countdown was up.
< 0 >
The Spatial crack started to fade into nothingness and at the same time, a powerful ripple blasted at their previous location– Underworld and Amir struck, ready to take him away for the second time, but failed once again.
The president's mobs and armed guards jumped out of their van even before it pulled over.
They were already late.
Edward and Riele felt a strong sense of nostalgia the moment they stepped out the spatial crack.
It was definitely first time for them to travel through rifts and void.
It felt as if, they would vomit on themselves.
"Never... ever... use... teleportation... again!" Riele's face was pale as white sheet.
But Tommy rolled his eyes.
They currently we're in PriceWill Seven star hotel and Tommy stared at the couple.
"My boyfriend is a godforsaken lunatic... he's always thinking that I'm cheating on him. Especially if I make friends with anyone, male or female." Tommy started.
"God's that's horrible." Riele sounded more like herself now as she replied.
"Uh, how are you even gay?"
"You don't seem like one... I've lived with one before in third year school. And I know how he behaves with boys around him."
Tommy shrugged...
"Maybe I'm not..." Tommy did not actually know what to believe anymore.
With the memory engraved in his mind, it was already a given that he is gay... but on the other hand, he isn't. Why because, as a man... he still had that burning feeling that wants to date a girl...
It was there, as strong and potent as ever.
Tommy shook his head.
"Anyways, my boyfriend would like to see you guys. He did not want me to hang with you, so I told him that you both are personal assistant to Beyonce."
Shrug.
Edward and Riele looked at themselves before turning back to stare at him.
"You earlier said that he's a crazed lunatic... Will he take this lying down?" Edward was stunned.
"Don't bother... I'll protect you both from him. I'm now many times stronger than he is..." Tommy bragged.
