32. Ash's Reborn Story

Chapter 90 Finding the Volunteers

Ash, Victoria, Arclight (Still knocked out), and Adrienn are outside the place where they were kept by Team Meteor, they look around and are surprised to learn that they are actually in the North Obsidia Ward.

Adrienn: Okay, First question: Why? Second question: How? I thought we were at the top of Devon Corp., not here.

Victoria: I don't know. Adrienn, when you were with Ame, what exactly happened?

Adrienn: When Arclight activated the signal, we entered through the front as planned. There was the expected resistance, but then as soon as we finished dealing with them, The exits were sealed. It was some kind of gas trap. I don't remember what happened after that.

Ash: What about you, Victoria? What happened to you?

Victoria: When I was trying to keep a path clear for you, another group of Meteors came from out of nowhere and knocked me out.

Adrienn: So it seems likely that after rendering each of our unconscious, they transported us to this building.

Victoria: And again, I was too weak to stop it. Now that I think about it, Kiki was also weak. Her body was killing itself. She couldn't stop that, And I'm not sure she ever truly accepted it. I think I understand how the student becomes the master now. We've got a lot of work to do.

Adrienn: As always!

Ash: But despite all of us being so pitifully weak, look how far we've come.

Adrienn: Yeah. Let's protect this city. (Turns around and looks at the building) So this building was a cover for a Meteor facility too. That's a lead. Whoever was responsible for this probably has ties to Team Meteor. Those records should be at the Grand Hall.

Victoria: I'll take care of searching those, and I'll inform the other staff there about what's happened.

Ash: Indeed. My mom needs to know about this as well.

Adrienn: Then I'll get Arclight into medical care, and organize a party to search Devon and this building. The fact that they led us here and then set us free probably means they don't intend to use it anymore. So there may be something we can still learn.

Ash nods as he lets Adrienn carry Arclight, and he is surprised to see that Adrienn has the strength to carry him alone, then they all head back to the Grand Hall.

When they arrive at the Grand Hall, Serena and Lillie are there with Delia. When they notice how Ash and Victoria are bruised and wounded, they are shocked.

Delia: Ash! Victoria! What happened to both of you? And where are Ame, Adrienn, and Arclight?

Ash: (Frowns) Adrienn is bringing Arclight to the medical care...as for Ame...she's dead...

The three people can't believe what they're hearing, Ame is dead? But what about the Reborn Region?

Serena: No way...you mean she was killed by Team Meteor? How did they do it? And why?

Victoria: (Grits her teeth) That Team Meteor member: Lin, she forced us to take part in some sort of gauntlet and we have to battle each other, the winner gets to go on while the loser gets a penalty... Arclight was the worse as his eye was torn out.

Lillie: This is horrible...but what about the Grand Hall work? Who is going to help with the League now Ame is gone?

Delia: I guess I should be the one helping out then...just what is the deal with this Lin...
