Love magic trapped in stone

Chapter 20

While Kohaku was carrying the rods and Gen tagging along carrying something in his big pack, everyone ran as fast they can towards the mountain. As always Senku was slow so Michelle had no choice but to carry him. Normally this wouldn't be ideal but seeing it's already been done before right now didn't matter at all about formality's. "Chrome! How far is this mountain?!!!" Michelle called out as she was faster than them but try to stick close to everyone. Chrome looked up ahead and pointed exactly where it is as they kept on running thru the forest. "It's that one. All we have to do is reach the top." -Right then with my speed alone I can get there in no time. However.- looking at everyone from a glance then at Senku she knew timing is everything.

"Ruth carry Suika! And Senku hold on tight as best you can." "what are you planning?" Senku couldn't help but felt her arms around his legs a bit more tight then saw Ruth pick up Suika by the shirt and toss the child onto his back, knowing she was safe as well Senku, Michelle would then suddenly take up a much faster speed as Ruth was close behind her. Both scream loudly from the sudden rush leaving Chrome, Kohaku and even Gen shocked how fast they where. "That's so bad! There that fast... so she was holding back before?!" Chrome was at aw as they where already out of sight.

"huh well then we better catch up fast we can." Kohaku replied as she took Gen by his arm making him confused but she too went a little bit faster as she dragged him along. Meanwhile with Senku he was really cling to Michelle best he can seeing with her speed they reached the mountain in no time and her alone with Ruth jumping like goats thru rocks to reach the highest point. "Since when have you done rock climbing?" he asked as he look over his shoulder seeing how high they are now. Michelle was too focused on going up she didn't even glance at him.

"there's a lot things I've done in my life that you don't know about. But we can get to that later for now I need to get you up there then go back for Chrome. Timing is everything. I didn't need to worry about Kohaku I know she be close behind us later." Hearing her words he was now curious to know more but she was right that they need to be quick about this seeing the lightning will be over head of them. As soon she was finally on top she put Senku down and Ruth lay down to let Suika off. Poor kid was jelly after the quick rush. "I'll be back. Ruth stay here and protect them." Ruth barked at her as she then jump off the cliff making both Senku and Suika rush to see her as they scream her name scared for her life. But she was already out of sight as she plumited to the ground.

"Senku... will she be ok. Why did she jump?" Suika asked worried and scared seeing with the rain it was hard to see anything from afar. Senku knew she be fine seeing she is half dragon. But to use her dragon form will be risky so he wasn't sure how to answer. "She'll be fine, she's just going to get Chrome next." Even with his own words he couldn't help but worry. Back with Michelle she landed on the ground safely using her wind magic to land with out a scratch. The moment she landed was also the moment she started running back towards Chrome, on the way there she passed Kohaku who was shocked to see she was already coming back but alone this time.

Of course none them wanted to slow the other down so they focused in there respective task. Chrome was already starting to get out of breath but pushed him self to keep on running. Till he saw Michelle as she suddenly stop to check on him real quick. "Michelle you're back already? But what about Senku." "I left him on top, Ruth and Suika are with him too but come on we don't have time to waist." With out warning she pulled Chrome on her own back as he didn't even have time to process what was going on but she would then suddenly start to run while Chrome held on her and the iron rods for deer life. Seeing how fast she was going he was wondering how she didn't run into anything. Even the rain will cloud your eye sight from the rush but yet she didn't have any problems.

As he was lost in thought he then holds tightly again as she suddenly stop then start to climb up. He saw how determine and strong she was. But he couldn't tell if she was already getting tired or not it was hard to tell. But even thru there run he didn't want her to lose focused so he kept quite just observing her, till they got to the top. Everyone was there as they saw Kohaku was trying to make holes to put staffs deep in the ground. "Michelle's back! And Chrome's finally here too." Suika called out as the others took notice. "Good. Chrome this is gonna be ten years worth of research not to mention it's the perfect spot to catch lightning." Senku smiled at him as he got off Michelle and ran towards them with the rods, letting her sit down to rest lightly. "oh I can't wait." Chrome exclaim back to Senku
