Alternate Change 3

Chapter 13

"Eh, pa darling-darling pa. Sunod-sunuran lang kay Arthur. Bakal to sang munyeka kag darlinga da buleh mo." she muttered in her own language, leaving the one at the speakers confused.

Just when she was about to let out another string of words, a protective wall started to appear around them, blocking the sound from the speakers. She then looked over at George who was now using his extensions to camouflage their group from the surrounding dangers.

Fred got the idea and started using his abilities, creating a makeshift hoverboard fit for all of them to ride from the tail of his extension, making them float above the ground. As his helmet appeared, it showed arrows pointing to where they could get out.

Now flying invisible from the trackers' sight but still able to produce collateral damage, Joe took this opportunity to create illusions on the walls they passed through, making their path unable to be tracked if ever the villain's minions were to search through the halls.

Both Vlad and Mari just watched in awe, unable to do something interesting for their team. They just sat there, planning on what they'd do if they got out, to which their topic were of the slumber party they had thought of in the first place.

Finally getting out of the place, they shivered when the frigid air bit their skin. Heavy snowfall was what they had seen outside their protective dome. Howling winds of winter has finally brought them back to their world.

It was cold, but at least it was true.

"Wow, snow! I can't believe we're finally out of that place!" she marveled.

"Da, we could even see the airship from here." Vlad nodded, which earned him looks from the three.

"What airship, Vlad?" George asked, trying to search from his point of view.

Mari squinted her eyes to get a better look. Upon seeing the airship, she nodded for a while, but tilted her head.

"Wait, I thought the Asian gang already left the moment we got into that building? They never left?" Mari asked, causing Joe to furrow his brows in confusion.

"Can you two at least point at the airship? We can't see it." Joe shook his head.

"It's just right there. It's even big enough for me to see now and you are heading right towards it." Mari held out her hands to try and make a point, presenting the airship the other three can't see.

"There are no airships around, you two. What are you talking about?" Fred asked, so Vlad and Mari looked at each other like they were the ones who were crazy.

"It's just right there. In fact, we're heading straight towards it. Watch out! STOP FLYING TOWARDS IT THIS ONCE! WE'RE GOING TO CRASH!" Mari screamed.

The three made a sudden halt, causing all of them to stumble forward. They stared at each other before looking at the two who looked like they were staring at a wall.

"Seriously, what gives?" Joe asked.

"Try throwing something at it. Maybe you'll know if it's an illusion or not." Vlad suggested.

Fred furrowed his brows, but still followed. He formed a snowball beneath their hoverboard and tossed it towards where both his friends were looking.

When it came in contact, it crumbled, leaving remnants of the snowball on the invisible surface.

"What the... the snow's stuck on something invisible."

"You two can really see it, but the three of us can't?" Joe looked at the two of them in disbelief.

"I think it has something to do with our activated alternates." Fred speculated.

With that, Joe jumped off their vehicle and landed in the snow. The glow in his eyes disappeared along with his extension, deactivating his alternate.
