The fall of the Golden Pheonix

Condominium

"How did you escape?" Jessica looks straight into his eyes, suddenly serious.

"My father distracted them with a handmade emp grenade using the technology in our cell." Luke states.

"So, they still have him?" Akihiko asks.

"Unfortunately, yes. But I have no doubt that my father will be able to escape, especially with your assistance." Luke pushes up his glasses.

"That's right, I'm not going to let people trap uncle Logan without kicking their butts all the way to next week." Jordan grins.

"Just because I have faith in you doesn't mean that it'll be easy. They have as much security as the american president and then some. Do not take them lightly, they are stronger than anything you have seen." Luke stares Jordan in the eye.

"So we'll need a plan, and a really good one." Akihiko puts his hand on Luke's shoulder. "Feeling up to the challenge, Luke?"

"A challenge? Never doubt my intellect, Akihiko. Of course I can, on my way out I was able to hack into the cameras. While I would have been able to hack into many more things given more time, all I could get was the cameras. However, that was all I needed. I have made a virtual map of their entire base, excluding, of course, their secret weapons supply. The cameras also have infrared, so I know where every member is, what they're doing, and how they're doing it." Luke grins.

"What were you talking about faith and it not being easy?" Jordan raises his eyebrow.

"Good point, Jordan." Luke smiles. "However, I was talking about my job as the hacker and navigator. You three will have the hard job of defeating all those we come across. Akihiko, you will have the job of protecting me, after all, your telekinesis can only be used to protect. I will upgrade it once I have the resources to do so."

"Where will we get the resources?" Akihiko leans forward.

"At my lab, of course. Grab hold of something within a mile." Luke starts walking forward."At my lab, but it will take some time for me to complete the upgrade, and I'll need an escort. Those men are still after me, and I have to be protected. Which is why you're coming with me, Akihiko." Luke looks him in the eye.

"We can come, too." Jessica takes a step forward.

"Don't you have a tournament to finish?" Luke asks.

"We only entered this tournament to find the base. You can help us find the base, so we don't need to go to the tournament." Jordan answers.

"Plus, this is a story, not a battle montage. I also have something in store for you over in scotland. Don't worry, Dylan, you'll get that fight with Ralem." Some random teenage boy with wild brown hair walks up to them.

"Who are you?" Luke asks.

"Me? I'm no one important, you just go on with your daily lives." The boy winks at the reader.

"That was... interesting..." Jordan turns around.

"Moving on." Dylan shakes his head. "We need to get to your Lab. Everyone needs to be in top condition for this next fight.

"Agreed." Akihiko stands up, and touches his "eye".

Chapter 7 part 2

Base

Ralem walks back and forth, enraged. "WHY DID YOU NOT PURSUE HIM?!"

"I'm sorry, Ralem, him and his fathers hacking skill were simply too much. Don't worry, we're heightening security right now." A younger girl says.

"Work it harder!" Ralem clenches his fist.

"Don't worry sir, we'll make it better. Just give us about a week and-" She starts.
