1525 Words
Khasalit, On the way to the entrance of the scraphunter lookout.
"Wait Nagrasiel. We are my other friends? Klassiwnev? Hajiki? Reweka?" - Nadilik
"They are at the third floor." -Nagrasiel
"Then why we going outside? We have to go there and save them!" - Nadilik
"No! we don't have that much time. The Daimon hunter are gonna arrive tomorrow. They won't waste a sec, and instantly start the investigation of the [level 0 incident].
If they found out that you are the one has the time demon, your story will end faster than anything." - Nagrasiel
"But how would they know it, if i am not in that cell anymore? That cell doesn't have my name on it. Just the false name of [HL]." -Nadilik
"Because the captain make a report of it, eventually. When one of the Daimon hunter ask him he have to give his honest answer. Sadly he has no other choice." -Nagrasiel
Nadilik gave a "Huh?" wondering and about to ask a question about it sound as a reply.
"Those guys have power over him. Basicly they are an upper boss to him in a scale where even city founder can help him.
The hunters are from the second innest ring, the near city of the Tower." -Nagrasiel
Nadilik listen to him carefully.
"I made a pact with the Captain, he let us to escape form here. He and all his scraphunter won't stop us, they won't speak where are we now. They won't start to chase us down too.
This was what the Captain could give us in help." -Nagrasiel
"Woooh, but there needed to be a hefty price for it? He risked his own life with this pact." - Nadilik
"There was a price which i needed to pay." - Nagrasiel
This sentence of his, wasn't expressed fully. It was unfinished.
"The price which i payed for saving you probably made it worse for you"
This was the thought what get him sip into a slowly deeper and deeper murky ocean of thoughts.
There are almost at the entrance.
The one thing which shaked him out that ocean. Is a sudden pull.
"Nagrasiel, I won't leave my friends here! I out of that cell now i can help them! I can save them."
- Nadilik
*klakk* one piece of void pearl fell to the floor.
"This isn't a good sign" -Grimm.
Nadilik clearly heared Grimm's voice, but she doesn't know if Nagrasiel can hear it two.
"Nadilik, we don't have time, do you understand?!" - Nagrasiel.
"Nagrasiel not just that i don't want to leave them, i can't leave them."
*klakk* klikk* *klakk*
Another 3 void pearl fell to the floor.
"This won't end well, with this speed for sure." - Grimm
"Grimm can you not?" - Nadilik
"Yeah i can. Just to be sure, those pearls are definitly not bearing any good sign. It's not that the pearl itself is bad, just the method how it appair is the problem." - Grimm.
Nadilik felt a sudden pull. it was strong, she had to move her feet quickly not to meet with the floor real close.
Nagrasiel pulled Nadilik toward to te entrance wich is an exit from them.
"Nagrasiel stop, they are at the thrid floor, not outside." -Nadilik
Nadilik try to stop him, struggle as much she could. But she couldn't stop Nagrasiel, slowly but surely they get closer and closer to the wished exit.
Grimm wanted to ask if she need some help fight him back, but she specifically to not interfere.
"We will get out! You don't have to die to this!"
*klakk* *Klikk*
Another pair pearls just comes around to fall to the floor.
"i won't say anything about this now." -Grimm
The entrance.
It was a scene what was in there for second. It wasn't spectacular, just moment which looked like a normal scene. But that feeled so out of place to be normal. The thing why it wasn't anything much extra. Is the sheer amount of luck wich was there.
Nagrasiel pulling out Nadilik to the outside while he had an expressionless face. Indicating that there is nothing happend. Nadilik struggling her way out of this.
The other side, in front of them. Two full armored hanabaks are headed to the same place what they are leaving.
Nagrasiel took a glance. Full UR Neulitium-Dysteria armor. This is such a rare case to see it, to everyone who knowed a little about even the metal which was a component of the armor knewed. They are daimon hunters. No one else could get those armor by itself.
On their side was an another rarity, an equipment which price was mesured in hundreds of zalakrat. A Cog angel's rifle.
Nadilik steal some look and peek to see who are next to them.
From what she saw, it gave her a huge shock, some depressions and dozens of void pearl falling from out of her.
Nadilik gave up the struggle which made it easier for Nagrasiel to pull her to a place far from here.
"Do you saw that two? They stared at us like a wonder crossing a stream." - Soreznileta Karzna
"I undertand why. With this armor we stick out like a sore thump" - Nerekhati Almaz
The two Daimon hunter gone into the building, leaving these two out here. Unnoticed in one way.
"See, we have even less time that i thought we had!"
Nagrasiel whishering to Nadilik.
For an answer there was only a *Klakk*. Another void pearl.
Nadilik and Nagrasiel was under the window at the point where they heard a loud screaming.
"AAAAAhhhhhhhhh."
At the same time, in a different place of the lookout.
"Entropy where are you?" - Niel
"Fourth floor. Treasure floor." - Entropy
"Why are you there? What is the current state of tha three hanabaks?" - Niel
"I they are here with me. We just collecting stuff." -Entropy
"Nevermind you need to get out of there. As you could heared a nitrix crystal is on a loose." -Niel.
Nadilik's group wondered why is it problem that the crystal is out of the machine.
"Ummm, is it a problem? the crystal?" - Gallahed.
"Yes, the nitrix crystal is a parasitic one. The grow speed of that is incredibly fast, and cost efficient. Atleast for the crystal. If you grind it and mix it with Taran'nit, you get a crystaline fuel. The work mechanics still based on burning things and harnessing the power. Taran'nit was also a mix some coal-lakras and Serenit oil. The breeder is incasing the crystal, chipping part of it. Only much that the crystal still be able to grow. The chipped parts are going to a mixer where it crush to piece, the to dust and mix with the Taran'nit. The fuel goes to the burner where will be used up.
The problem start when the breeder section is malfucting, or straight up falling apart.
The nitrix crystal start consuming the surronding area." - Entropy
"There is a reason why they forbid the use of nitrix reactor." -Niel
"You guys know a lot about this, don't ya?" - Hajiki
"We came from Gearbox, there is many of story about nitrix reactor malfuctions and the damage it is causing." - Entrophy
"Wait a second, you said those are prohibited. Then why we didn't heared about? Why the cities of Scrapolis still using those type of generators, if it IS prohibited?" - Reweka
"Shortly, the answer is. Why do you think the Outer rim's and part of Khasalit's citizen use Coal-nitilium reactors?" -Niel
....
"If your answer was money then you guessed right. That's is why Khasalit couldn't replace their reactor, cause there no more of this which can be used.
Now enought of the talk and get out of there immediatly. Are problems doesn't end with a loose parasitic crystal." - Niel"
Entropy look around, his gaze lock in a window. He is opening it.
"Okay Guys, are way out is a little climb." - Entropy
"Are you okay?! you know that we are at the fourth floor?" - Hajiki
Entropy goes to one of the boxes in the room. Grab a carabiner, equip it with a long chain. He attached to one of the pipes running on the walls.
"Now, all you need is to climb down this chain."
With this Entropy jumps out of the window.
Hajiki, Gallahed and Reweka standing there shocked by the short scene of this.
"Waaaaaahhhhhh!"
*pufffff*
A blunt sound of a landing.
"Guys come on, just climb down." - Entropy
"Ughhhh... Get... Off me... Right now!!"
another blunt sound, it was more silent than before.
At the entrance there was Nadilik schocked by the Daimon hunters early arrival, Nagrasiel who's was lieng on the ground a second ago. Entropy who landed on Nagrasiel, then lieng on the ground because Nagrasiel throw him off. At the gates of outlook, Niel and Shiro.
"Entropy you are already tired? You tires yourself by doing Chuuni things, again?" - Shiro
"Quit it, Shiro!" - Entropy
"Yeah quit it, Entropy. We don't have time! We need to find her....
Oh Jackpot." - Niel
