Crisis

3372 Words
After being surrounded by the new arrival, bash felt like he was into deeper trouble which this time, he won’t be able to handle. He thought of escaping but he held down the urge because he wasn’t confident in escaping from this group which made him sense a bigger threat than those two. “Well”, “well”, “ well”. “ what do we have here?”. “A brat who is a newbie and two idiots who came here in other to run out of the death cage”. The huge burly senrate who seemed to be the leader of the group, folded his arm as he remarked in amazement, then pointed at the two and made a joke. “so you guys are like scared babies trying to escape to your mummies”. “Puff, haha”. The other team members who surrounded bash and the two laughed at his joke. “omotola, tell me, what is the best way to handle these three, should we just kill them for war points”. After this, the laughter died down, the boss once again exclaimed. “boss bado, If we kill these weaklings now, it will only provide us with little war points because cowards like them have probably not earned any considerable amount of war point and the other boy here is a newbie who just arrived so earning from his death is even more out of the question. A short senrate race girl in green armor who stood behind bash answered the boss's question as she studied the trio with her big eyes. “ I suggest that we use them for our attack against the next target”. “hahahahaha”. “good plan, this is why I like you omotola, your brain is very sharp”. “Since we are going to use them for that, we need people that we can control”. “so one of you is going to die because only two people can walk along the narrow passage at the same time, who’s it gonna be, the big guy or the guy holding a dagger”. The boss, bado exclaimed after hearing omotola's idea as his pointed finger started moving from shredded to the metho race youth. “I pick you, you look unpleasing to the eye”. Bado finally rested his finger at shredded as he exclaimed. The other team member started to slowly converge at shredded after bado picked him. Shredded instantly became alert upon sensing the change in his environment. He channeled his energy into his weapon, ready to fight to the death but just as he turned his attention towards the people who were besieging him, a multicolored beam instantly surged towards him and penetrated his chest before he could react. “ you bastard”. Shredded cursed at the one who attacked him with an energy blast before he fell to the ground, dead. “ I don’t like wasting time”. Bado retracted his hands which he used to attack shredded as he said to bash and the big guy while pointing at the passage behind him as he commanded. “The two of you lead the way if you don’t want to end up like him”. Bash and the big guy respectfully complied with bado's order and stepped into the passage then bado followed behind them with his team members. Bash heave a soft sigh of helplessness when he entered into the passage. He was feeling inwardly grateful for not taking any action earlier otherwise he would have died without even knowing how. At the time when bado attacked shredded, he perceived the powerful aura in bado's energy blast, and from his insight, bado is definitely on the same level as that of vanchel whom he had to rely on his hidden power in other to win the injured him. Right now, he isn’t able to utilize his hidden power so facing off against such an entity is impossible for him. “ hay bash, am, do you…….”. “shut up, there’s no talking allowed”. “ any more words and I'll blow up your brains”. The metho race big guy was just in the middle of striking a conversation with bash when he got interrupted midway by bado. As they moved further, signs of a battle slowly overtook their views. Bash and the metho race big guy continued leading the way until they reached the end of the tunnel. What lied outside the end of the tunnel was a vast plain surface filled with numerous blood stains and plenty of signs of racking which came into bashe’s view, there were even several belongings littered on the ground, left by the deceased. From how fresh the blood where bash can tell that the deaths have not happened for too long. Strangely, there were no corps or body parts. “ Are you wondering why there are no corpses”? Bado's voice suddenly resound in bash ears when he became lost in his thoughts. The voice continued before he could utter any word. “ since you are just a newbie I won’t mind telling you”. “The bodies of everyone who die in this s**t hole will always be decomposed by an unknown presence when it stays for over a day”. “ This is what we all collectively called being consumed by the cage”. “ unbelievable”. bash said in his mind. The fact that there's something so strange happening in the blood c*****e made him realize just how weird and dangerous the place is. What kind of place will not allow even the dead to rest in peace... “where finally here, in the front lines, now let go get those bastards”. Bado declared as his team moved on, pushing bash and the other guy in their front. The group moved on for a day, taking different kinds of routes with bash and the metho race youth in the lead facing all the dangers ahead for bado and his team members. On the way, they have encountered and escaped numerous traps like implanted explosives, a person gas in the air, hidden pits, etc. They finally stopped at the front of a bridge that had a large pit of about fifty meters in circumference below it, the depth of the pit was unfathomable. Just the mere sight of it resembles an abyss waiting to devour anything that comes close to it. On the other side of the lane, was a plane littered with large rocks the size of an adult elephant that stretched for up to ten kilometers. After the rocks, a large hill that stretched up and met with the top of the cage could be seen. From what bash had heard from bado in the past, this place is the location of their target but strangely there’s no one here. “Hello, this is bado, I know you can hear me, come out and surrender immediately before me and my squad cross to the other side”. “ you better come out before I finish counting one to five otherwise, there will be no mercy for you”. Just as bado finished his speech, four people came out from behind different rocks. Among the four people, was a creal race girl who took the lead, the rest of them were all metho race girls and a boy. “ get out of here immediately or we’ll make you regret ever coming”. The girl in the lead blurted as she pointed out her spear and emitted out a force of level one of the storage building evolution. Showing no signs of weakness to bado. “ hee”. Bado choked as he began to say. “ since when I heard that grego, your boss died, I have been saddened by the news so I took pity on you and came here to help your life but it looks like you guys aren’t ready to surrender”. “ you are so ungrateful that it makes me depressed”. “Okay, we shall see”. “hay, no problem, the two of you, check out the bridge to see if it’s safe”. Bado told bash and the other guy after his talk with the unknown group who lost their leader. “no way, what if we die there”. The metho race youth couldn’t resist the urge to protest upon being sent on a suicide mission. “shut up, do you want to die”. “ Since when did I say that any of you have an opinion”. Bado yelled at the metho race youth as his aura surged out, putting pressure on both bash and the guy. “now get on the bridge if you don’t want me to kill you right now with my own hands”. Bash and the big guy could only step onto the bridge as they have no choice. If they climb the bridge, they might die but if they decide not to and anger bado, they will certainly die. “ stop, don’t you dare go any further or you shall die”. The creal race girl blurted after seeing omotola and another guy slowly climbing the bridge when bash and the big guy reached the middle of the bridge. “ Lisa, come on let them climb, don’t you see that among them are innocent people whom I dragged into this”. “ They always say that you have a good heart, and now I want you to prove it”. Bado stated from behind. “ I repeat, stop immediately”. the girl said firmly without paying much attention to what bado was saying. as she finished her sentence, she pointed her spear at the other end of the bridge in other to destroy it. “ didn’t you see what happened earlier, we have no choice but to climb up to you because, if we stay there we will both be killed”. Bash blurted anxiously upon seeing the ruthlessness in the girls' eyes. “ you fell into someone’s hand and intrude into our territory with our enemies behind you because he threatened your life and sorted to use your against me, yet you are expecting me to show mercy?”. “as far as am concerned, you might as well die along with them”. The girl shoved her spear into the bridge the moment that those words were uttered by her. “booooom”. The spear stabbed into the stone bridge and broke it apart into slabs which fell towards the pit along with bash, the big guy, and the other two. “ ahhhhhhhhhhh”. The Four of them screamed when they fell into the hole. from the time the girl attacked the bridge to the bridge crumbling into slabs, all of it took less than ten seconds. there was not even time for them to even think of escaping back to where they came from. “ Damn it”. “you're both useless, useless”. Bado roared after the two fell into the deep pit. The real reason he had broth these two along wasn’t just so they can lead the way and become cannon fodders, but it was for the specific reason of using them against lisia. He had hoped that he could use the two of them to blackmail the girl into not breaking the bridge when his men climbed but his hopes were dashed. Now, he will be forced to carry out the original plan which he's reluctant to do because of the cost. Meanwhile, bash and the other fell from high above for almost a minute before they crashed into a ground filled with numerous thin and long horizontal rocks with sharp edges, scattered about randomly. After the fall, bash found himself pierced in the palm by one of the sharp rocks. From the injury, he felt excruciating pain that almost derived him crazy, at the same time, there was this vision coming into his head. In the illusion, he was surrounded by all the people he had killed on the first ground. From chilli, agaba and his followers, netios, vanchel, abutu, lipian, and others whom he doesn’t recognize. They all started cursing him to end up badly and pay for his crimes of killing them. “Bash you shall die a terrible death”. “ you have committed an unforgivable sin”. “ you are nothing but a demon who kills without mercy, you deserve to pay for all your sins”. “ you should die, die”. Bash commits suicide right this minute, you are guilty and it is time for you to pay. “ bash die”. “bash die”, “ bash die”. As the crowd began to yell his name, bash hand grabbed his neck and started to strangle himself to death. The crowd continued to utter those words as bash continued to strangle himself, soon his vision started to get blurry but just when darkness was overtaking him, a blue light flashed in his eyes for a brief moment, bringing him back to his senses. When he came back to his senses, he opened his eye and saw himself back at the pit. He instantly jolted away after forcefully pulling out his palm from the sharp rock. After escaping from the sharp rock, he put his hand on his neck and discovered the signs of someone strangling it. Bash was immediately scared by this discovery. This proves that everything which happened to him in the dream will also happen to him in real life. “ so if I strangle myself to death in that illusion I will also die in real life”. Bash thought in terror. When he recovered from his shock, he looked around to check the situation of the others. The big guy had a sharp rock implanted into his lap, omotola had her abdomen pierced by the rock and the unknown guy from bado's term had his knack pierce through. The three of them had their eyes closed but the only one truly dead was the unknown guy due to the severity of his injuries. “I need to get stronger”. Bash muttered inwardly. feeling that all of this happened to him because he was not strong enough he was pushed into this pit by the bastard bado and everyone here looks at him with the disdain of looking at some weakling. What worries him the most was the fact that he hadn’t even met any true powerful gyptians of the blood c*****e and he already ended up like this in the hand of unknown weaklings of the blood c*****e. “if I was strong enough, no bastard will disregard my life, if I was strong enough, anyone who offends me shall pay”. Now, he had made up his mind to get stronger and get back at bado. However, there’s something important that he must first do before that. He stepped towards the big guy and pulled him out of the rock which pierced his lap and brought him to a remote place where there is the absence of any pointed rock. After placing him on the wall, bash finally sat down and started to concentrate on ranking up his evolutional level. He had helped the big guy due to a sense of closeness that he felt because of the crisis which the both of them suffered together and more so because of obtaining information on the second ground so he can understand the place better. He had placed the guy beside him and started to meditate in other to test the character of the big guy. If the big guy tries anything funny while he is focused on training, he won’t hesitate to execute him. Vast transdonic energy began to surge into bashe's body while he was in the state of training. Slowly, the energy which entered his body began to initiate another bone transformation. The metho race guy slowly opened his eyes to see the meditating bash. “so it was you who saved me”. He muttered in surprise, his eyes still in deep fear from what he experienced when the rock pierced him. He was certain that he will die if bash had not saved him. “ahhh” The big guy exclaimed with his mouth a gap when he perceived the speed at which the surrounding transdonic energy was being sucked into bash. Is this guy a monster, how the hell is he able to channel in so much transdonic energy so quickly without bursting apart? “ What a weirdo, first it is having the energy percentage of someone in the first level of storage building evolution, now it this spectacle”. The guy said in amazement as he continued to study bash while healing his wounds at the same time. Bash continued to channel in the energy for up to four hours before the cracking sound of his bones resounded in the atmosphere startling the metho race big guy. “ what the hell, you are such a monster. How the hell………….”. “ boom”. The big guy was in the middle of his shock exclamation when an explosion sounded from above leading to plenty of boulders felling from above. At the same time, bash opened his eyes. Up above the pit, after bash and the other three fell into the pit, bado and his other team members faced off against the unknown group led by lisia. Both of the groups brought out guns and started firing at each other. this is because of the great distance between them which resulted because of the pit. The crossfire lasted for about six hours before bado pulled a stunt which created great destruction. After the death of another of his team member, bado decided to steal his heart and use the costly trump card which he had been avoiding to use all this while. He brought out a spherical ball and plunged it to the other side of the pit. “ s**t, everybody run”. Lisia exclaimed as she started to run away from the location which the sphere was about to land. As the sphere crashed into the ground, it created a huge explosion of violent energy which engulfed twenty kilometers of its surrounding. After the shock of the explosion posted away, bash and the metho race guy came out of the hiding place which they discovered in their desperate times when the huge rocks were descending on them. By the time they came out, they discovered that everything around them was covered by giant boulders which aligned to the top of the pit. Bash immediately went on digging into the rocks, opening a passage by flinging away every rock obstructing him. “ what are you looking for”. The metho race guy couldn’t stop himself from asking this question after witnessing bashe’s hurried movement. A moment later, everything became clear to him when bash dragged out the unknown guy whose throat had been pierced and started to undress his armor. “so what you were looking for was a protective armor”. “ Are you planning on leaving here?”. The big guy asked when bash finished imputing the armor. “yes, are you coming along”. “ you can’t be serious are you, I mean didn’t you see how dangerous it is out there”. “ This place is definitely safer to stay in”. The big guy answered horridly. “ if you are not coming, goodbye then”. Bash said as he climbed up the arranged rocks. “ no way, you can’t leave me here alone”. The big guy blurted before following hurriedly after bash.
