The Institute for Mianite Arts

Chapter 90: Iain: The Final Countdowns.

Iain woke up and immediately swung his cutlass killing a mianitee "Why is there a Mianitee in my room?" he asked the mirror Iain had long ago figured out that Autumn could see and talk through other mirrors just not travel through them. "Like i care" he finally heard "It's not my problem,"
I walked down the hallway ,the Mianitee over his shoulder dripping blood. he felt the stares so he laughed how could none of them see what was going on around them? oh well he knew how this ended and he didn't die so he didn't care about the rest of them. They where at war it was self preservation time! He went to autumns room, she wasn't there. Iain threw the body through the mirror. A present.

After delivering the body Iain waited in the main room and waited

"WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE! MAINITE DECLARED WAR ON US!" yelled an Ianite

The room broke out into panic as people began to scream. Eventually Dianite calmed them all down, and soon afterwords he gave a speech thing

"I have to ask a favor of you. He said. A very dangerous favor. I can not tell you the details now but I only ask you to agree with the knowledge that you will probably not come back. Do any of you accept?"

Iain saw the others step forward "idiots, if he could convince, no autumn would never come, only in one future did she come, they all lived when she came. He stepped forwards as well, might as well keep them alive.

A few minuets later they were all geared up and Iain headed out with them

"Iain ,you have that blindfold, can you see any ways in?" Andor asked. Andor was wearing a small amount if armor, we all were, we wanted to keep the element of surprise. Apart from his usual rapier , Andor also had a gun. Eddie's gun, nice to know it had a home now.

"Yeah Iain, can't you see the future, tell us where to go" Tyler said. Iain grimaced Did they want to die or live because all of the ways in were suicide... except.

"There's a vent there" he pointed , its the only way we don't all die. Iain began crawling through the vent, and felt the others follow him

"What? Weren't there supposed to be guards here? What the hell happened." Lucas said.

"Shh , don't complain and get the thing we came here for" Iain said. Does he want to get himself killed? yelling is what starts the battle! Iain thought I walked over to the bags with Andor, and another person, his name was Charlie, he died. we walked up to the chemicals and began to place them in the special bags Dianite gave us. Everything seemed to be going fine but I knew,

"Yo Guys, there's something wrong here." I heard someone say. It was Darkstorm. along with Dave, They were approaching a wall .

Darkstorm started to reach outwards .

All hell broke loose. Mianitees jumped out from everywhere. they started to fight them. They protected my back as i got the vilas into the bags

"Cmon let's go." Lucas called out.

"Not so fast !" Sterling said " Your surrounded , there's no escape. Also , we still have two veils of chemicals," Jake held them up," you have no choice... Surrender, or die." Suddenly there was a click from my left. Andor had the gun to his shoulder and was aiming straight for Sterling's heart. He spoke up.

" I think I can speak for all of us , sterling ,when I say," he took the gun of of safety," DIE!" BANG! The veils of chemical shattered, sending the deadly stuff all over Jake. He began screaming , screaming, louder and louder as the deadly thing melted through his skin and he melted , literally melted onto the floor.

Iain laughed he saw that coming a mile away, how could everyone be so oblivious?

"YOU SON IF A BITCH!" Sterling yelled and charged at us. "KILL THEM, KILL THEM ALL" he ordered. It was a shithole now. We started to fight. People began falling, dying. Then I heard a yelp of pain. Tyler had been stabbed and cut down his leg. Andor killed his attackerLucas ran over to me as i was fighting five men

"I thought you said none of us would die if we went through that vent" Lucas called to me killing a mianitee.

"No I said it was the only way not all of us would die, now come on we gotta go." Iain yelled back. Bang! Andor attempted to reload the musket.

"Damnit ," he muttered," I wish Eddie would have showed me how to load this fucking thing faster when he taught me to shoot it." Iain sighed and counted again

Andor was helping Tyler and me and Iain were fighting.

An arrow came and pierced Andors leg. He and Tyler stumbled.

"You aren't going anywhere " Sterling called and fired another Arrow. It hit Andor in the Arm. lucas picked up Tyler, and I was trying to get Andor. Andor pushed him off me.

"Its no use ," Andor said, another arrow had hut him in the gut and he was bleeding a lot," Go help Tyler and leave me."

"What!? No ," tyler said,"What about Alee fucker, she needs you."

Andor smiled. "I know. There's no use, GO"

"No." I said.

"Yes ." I said " Andors right, if we try to help him they will catch and we will die. " We could already hear them coming down the hall.

" No I won't.." Tyler began.

"Tyler," Andor stopped him," Your a great friend. Tell Alee that i love her"

"Oh...okay." Tyler gave him a hug, "see you on the other side man."

3

"No shit ," Andor replied, "oh and one more thing," he held out Eddie's gun," I promised Eddie I'd take care of this for him, could you make sure he gets it back?"

"Yeah. Can do." Tyler said .

"Hate to interrupt your bromance , but, they're coming!" Lucas said. They were on the other side of the long hall and coming fast. Andor pulled out something round, a dianite bomb. Dianite had given all of us one, just in case.

"Goodbye guys." Andor grimaced and threw it up.

Time seemed to slow then, there was a large explosion, the ceiling caved in and blocked us from the other side. We were thrown a few feet. We got up .

"Goodbye bud" Tyler said. We helped him up and stumbled back to the dianite dorms. Dirty but i was unhurt.

We finally stumbled into the dorm room. Everything went quiet. After a bit Alee came.

"Where's Andor?" She demanded. We looked down.

"WELL WHERE IS HE?" She continued. After a while Tyler looked at her and shook his head. He held out Eddies gun, " he was using this."

Alee started to sob. She fell to her knees and began to scream. Izzy came over and comferted her but it did nothing. She had to be put to sleep and they laid her in an empty bed. We walked with Tyler and laid him down too. Someone came and bandaged Lucas's arm.

Iain took eddies gun and tossed it into a corner "Eddie doesn't need it , he's dead." He explained.

I left a note in Alee's room

If you want to see him again rally the Alliance. Together Dianite and Ianite can free him. He is not dead. Once freed Andor can lead the Alliance to victory but only if he us freed. Fight Alee and you will see your loved one again.

He attached a small pin onto the letters. Andors pin, that his grandfather Spark had given him.
