The next test had me and the two boys all using one baller. The girls had stayed behind for something I didn't understand. The test seemed a bit too easy to me.

After collecting the fourth and final thang, my vision faded on the train ride back to the central station.

"Get back here you little bitch!" I was running away from someone, not wanting to look over my shoulder to see where the enemy was.

"WENDY OCTAVIO STOP THIS INSTANCE!" I heard my name be called by someone else. I refused to turn around and stop. I managed to Super Jump away from the two after I put some distance between myself and the other two people chasing me.

I ended up crash landing in front of the old man before getting attacked by something and then my vision fading.

"8 wake up please!" I found myself on the floor of the train car when I became aware of my surroundings. Goggles and Specs were next to me with the look of worry on their faces. I didn't realize I had been crying. Everything came back at once. The fight, the torture, the escape, and every single memory that I had lost before came back. And it was scary.

After calming myself down the three of us made it back to the central station. The phone thing from earlier put all the thangs together. I was hesitant to get inside the giant thing that was the door to the promised land, but I went in when I saw everyone else doing that.

"W-wait a second! Doesn't that thing look exactly like a blender?" Marina asked through the radio thing, seemingly panicking on her end.

"Woah woah woah yeah hold up! This just got seriously sketchy!" Pearl yelled, panic also laced in her tone of voice. I panicked and drowned out everyone's voices, shortly losing consciousness due to how much I was panicking.

When I woke up I was laying in someone's arms with something wrapped around me. The thing that wrapped around me felt soft and warm. I didn't know what was happening, nor could I make out what everyone was saying. I started to panic again before the person that held me in their arms calmed me down.

"Just shut up all of you! You're making her panic again!" The person that held me spoke. My other four friends stopped talking before Goggles spoke up again.

"But Rider-" Goggles stopped talking as I accidentally rolled myself onto the cold concrete flooring of the central station. I silently expressed the pain that I felt by rubbing my head and crying silently.

...

Everything was explained to me. Rider, the guy that had been carrying me, was friends with the other four that became my friends and had broken the blender to save us. He noticed I had blacked out and was trying to comfort me by wrapping some sort of cloth around my small frame and holding me in his arms to try and help me somehow. I looked up at the large hole in the ceiling, thinking that would be the way out of the metro place.

The others noticed what I was looking at and seemed to know what I was thinking.

"We'll go with you 8!" Goggles smiled at me and the other three (Headphones, Bobble, and Specs,) nodded. Rider said he would stay with the old man as I advanced with the other four.

One day I would finally let them hear my voice. I just needed more time.
