Chapter 7 - Down the Sewer Slide

"You are only on the brink of discovering the truth, Lucas. I have opened your eyes, and now it is time to uncover your true potential," Jarvis whispered as they slowly floated higher and higher, still hand in hand.

"Mr. Jarvis," Lucas turned to the old man, "How are we defying the laws of physics?"

"Lucas," Jarvis smiled. They were about four feet above the ground at this point. "Laws have exceptions and loopholes."

"But, Mr. Jarvis, the laws of physics aren't like legal laws. We don't get punished if we break them - we simply cannot break them. They are the fundamental forces that command our lives, and we cannot fight them."

"Wrong," Jarvis replied. "We're breaking them now, aren't we? That means these laws don't actually control us. The ones in control...is us, Lucas."

They slowly levitated over to the top of the cave and dropped to the ground on top of the roof of the cave.

"Lucas, let me explain something. Humans...are always fighting over something. A thousand years ago, a hundred years ago, and even now between the Virgilian Empire and the Dark Knights - people are always fighting. Why are they fighting? It depends. It could be for money, for power, or for other reasons. The point is, people are fighting. We are destroying each other and the human race. We, as a species, are committing suicide."

Jarvis paused and looked up. He slowly stretched out his hand toward the clouds. Lucas observed the odd action Jarvis was doing.

"However, Lucas, this doesn't have to be the case. I can show everyone how to have anything they want. Power, money, land, and even special abilities which defy the laws of physics. We can have it all."

Jarvis turned his head back to look at Lucas.

"We just flew about ten feet and landed on top of a cave. Sure, we did it slowly and while holding hands, but Lucas, this is just the beginning. I can teach you how to do so much more."

Jarvis took a step back from Lucas as he lowered his hand back down.

"And once I teach you, you will help me. Before society collapsed because of World War 4.20, I was the most wanted man alive. If I just show up and try to tell everyone that I can save the human race from themselves, they will burn me at the stake. But, Lucas, you have seen what humans are truly capable of now."

Jarvis stretched out his arm, offering his hand to Lucas.

"What do you say, Lucas? Will you, after uncovering the secrets of our potential, cum and help me share our power with the rest of the human race?'

Lucas nodded, accepting Jarvis's offer.

"Great," Jarvis smiled. "Then, without further ado, let us begin your training."

Meanwhile, far far away from the isolated jungle that the two of them were in, Oliver and Charlie were sprinting through a narrow alley.

It had been ten minutes since they had left the shop, and they still hadn't stopped running.

"C-Crayon, we ne-need to take a break," Oliver gasped for air.

Charlie slowed to a stop. Like Oliver, he was also tired from running.

"We can't run forever, we need to hide," he announced, looking around for somewhere to hide. The alley was between two tall, abandoned buildings. There was a backdoor that could be used as an entrance to the one on the right, but it seemed too risky. The building looked like it could collapse at any moment.
