The NexttGenns Trilogy: Season 1: THE CORRUPTION SERIES

The Diamond Locke || 10

I've heard there's other windows in this void, to other parts of the kingdom, question is, where are they from here?

"Circuit's right, you know." Stygian says. I hope that Void Creature really doesn't exist..

"What?" Circuit says. The ocelot looks down. "I wasn't talking to you, silly." The purple fox looks to the side. I blink. "What are you getting at?" I ask, thinking. There's many possibilities.

" Don't let anyone get to you. Especially Illestra, she's just looking for trouble." Stygian says. "Uh huh." I say distractedly. Near the library, near my room, which wouldn't do us any good now, the safe room, which I think was destroyed... Wait. I blink. Genie doesn't return to the same place of destruction twice. I raise my brows in thought. "If my calculations are correct," I think aloud. "Then that entrance should be right about.." I scan the dark area. Theres a tear in the void, and I can see paradise written on the carpet all over. "Here!" I exclaim.

"What?" Stygian asks. I flap my wings hard to gain speed. "Hang on!" I shout. I hear a burst of magic, and feel straps of fabric tighten on my right leg, another burst, and fabric tightens on my left leg. I turn, to see Circuit and Boxtrip sitting in fabric sewn seats, buckled in. Stygian's eyes glow blue, and in a flash of light, theres a huge pillow on the ground, between us and the incoming wall. I hit it suddenly, and I lose my grip of everyone. They land softly on the feather pillow, scattered around. I fall in next to Boxtrip. I groan and hold my head. "That is Still a wall." I say. He laughs, and holds his hand out to me. I smile a little, my face getting warm. I take his hand, and we wobbly try to stand. I flap us to the floor, as Circuit and Stygian struggle to get to the solid ground as well.

We look around at the battle field left behind. Cytronic bodies litter the floor, many of them have that strange yellow animal jaw mark. I frown. "What happened here?" Circuit tilts his head at me frowning. I chuckle slightly. "You know what I mean." He shakes his head and keeps walking.

"There's dismembered parts strewn all over the place, like the battle was.." Stygian says. "I mean, just look at their wounds."

I cringe. "Do we have to?" Stygian shrugs, and kneels down to one of the deceased. "If you want to know what happened." I raise my brows and shrug. I walk over to a Cytronic with their arms shredded off, and a stab wound in their back. I frown. "Strange.. Stygian, I think you're on to something." The face was contorted into a horrified expression. I move around the body, inspecting. They're laying on their stomach. Curious, I carefully flip them over onto their back. I gasp, and my hand flies up to my mouth. I step back into the air, flapping my wings. My friends spin around. "What?"
