The new student (Warren x oc)

32

By the time we got to the mountain itself, it was getting fairly dark.  Draven seemed to be able to see well enough on his own.  "It's too dark.  How will we find an entrance?"  Will asked.  We all stayed close so we didn't get separated.  "I can try finding a way in, if I knew what I was looking for."  Draven hissed, annoyed as well.

I went over to the mountain, placing a hand against the side.  It felt like normal rock… taking a breath, I closed my eyes and tried to find something underneath all of the rocks.  Though it wasn't before long something jumped out at me.  Literally as well.  A metallic clang echoed to me through the  layers of the mountain and rocks.

I stepped back as the echo reverberated back a second time.  "There's definitely some kind of metal base, or something of the like, here.  But it's totally buried under the mountain.  I can't feel an opening on the surface either."  I explained, looking at the other three.  Will walked over to where I had been standing.

He seemed to take a breath, punching the mountain and sending rocks and dust tumbling down upon us.  Wisp opened a portal and sent the debris to land behind us.  I sighed, putting a hand on Will's shoulder.  "We'll have to find another way in.  There has to be one.  We'll get everyone back Will."  I tried to assure him.

Will shook my head off, shaking his head.  He muttered something under his breath walking away.  Though I still heard it.  "If you have something to say about me, tell it to my face and don't mutter it while walking away from me."  I answered, likely surprising him.  It was quiet for a moment.  "You know, I bet this person is the same one your dad and sister were running from."  He hissed, turning around.  The statement took me aback.

But Will wasn't finished.  "I bet if they had just never came, none of this would have happened.  Everyone would be home.  My parents and Layla wouldn't be in the trouble they're in right now."  He added pointedly.  I growled lightly in response.

"There's no way you are trying to blame my family for this.  We don't know who is behind this.  Sky High has plenty of enemies of its own.  There are numerous people that you could blame.  So why do you have to blame my family, when we just started getting to a new normal!?"  I replied, feeling the wind pick up.

I could tell my eyes were lighting up.  Will really wanted to blame my family for all of this?  This whole situation didn't have to mean it was someone that was after my family.  I shook my head, but all I could do was growl.  This statement wasn't going to go away when we got everyone.  I turned and walked back away from Will.  There was no way I was going to deal with him right now.  This was not going to fly right now.

Despite the air itself being warm, I had a vivid sense of the heat around me.  After walking for a bit, I looked around to see where I was.  Nothing looked at all familiar.  At least before, I could find our scents from walking to the mountain.  I must have walked off from that direction.  I turned my comms on to get Tracker to give me directions back, but all I got was a sharp whistle.  It was painful enough I pulled the earpiece out.

Geez, what the heck was that?  I could feel the vibration that was coming from the earpiece.  That didn't made sense.  Hank said these earpieces wouldn't break easily.  And nothing really made that mind of sound.  Something appeared in front of me.  It looked like a galaxy.  Stars and mist that swirled in a circular motion.

It almost seemed to grow, until I realized it was moving, and it was coming towards me.  I yelped, though quickly realized nothing actually seemed to happen.  Until looking around again.  Everything had changed.  I quickly realized Wisp must have pulled me to another area with her portals.

Though I wasn't even in the jungle anymore.  The area looked like it was made of metal.  The sound of metal clashing together quickly made its way to my ears.
