Runaways Europe [Possible Reboot]

Chapter 003

---JAMIE-LEE---

I couldn't sleep well last night. The thoughts of what happened kept replaying in my head.

At least I found a motivation to perform well at rehearsals, and possibly the main performance.

After my rehearsal, I quickly left the stage and went to the hallway, trying to make my way back to my dressing room. It was quiet empty and the eerie silence struck me like Dami Im's song, no wonder why it's called 'Sound of Silence'.

As I continue walking down the hallway, I notice that the silence was bugging me so I tried to take my phone and earphones out of my pocket to play some music. That's when I felt someone tapping my shoulder.

I turn around to see an old Japanese woman holding something wrapped.

"You don't have much time, you have to stop them!" The old woman said. Acting like crazy.

"What are you talking about? Who are you? How did you get here?"

"You have to stop them before they revive the Gibborim back!"

Gibborim? I heard of that yesterday.

"I don't know what youre talking about! Who's them?" I'm so confuse right now.

"You have to stop the Doomsday Brigade!"

"Who are the Doomsday Brigade?" I asked but she kept ignoring me.

"You have to stop the Doomsday Brigade from reviving the Gibborim!"

"What are you saying?"

"You have to stop the Doomsday Brigade from reviving the Gibborim from destroying what is left in this world!"

"What are you taking about? Who are the Doomsday Brigade? What are the Gibborim?"

"Take this. Take this katana, take this katana and stop them! You and your friends are humanity's only hope, now!" The old woman wailed. She handed me the wrapped item into my hands.

"Ma'am, what are you saying?" I'm so confused and scared! What is she saying? What are the Doomsday Brigade?

"You need to stop them now! Before it's too late!" She said. I still have a lot ask when I hear a simple 'Hey' behind my back.

"Are you alright, kid?" I turn around to see Sergey Lazarev. I look back at the direction of the old woman, only to find that she's gone.

"Yeah, I'm alright." I said simply. The item still in my hand.

"What's that youre holding?"

"Nothing important. I gotta go." I said as walk pass Sergey. I walk down the hall in a hurry and quickly get inside my dressing room. I lay the item in front of the mirror and sit on the chair.

I unwrapped the cloth of the item to see an elegant black steath with simple floral design at the bottom. I remove the steath to see a black blade katana. The blade look like it could be made out of onyx or some kind of hard metal. There is a diamond piece at the bottom of the blade that resembles a teardrop. The blade is slightly curved and looks like it was carefully crafted by hand, as if the blacksmith of this katana has been making swords for thousands of years. I touch the handle of the katana only for it to emit a white glow. The sight and touch of this mystical katana was enough to make all my troubles go away. I returned the katana back to its steath and lay it down.

I think mentally I shed a tear when I did that.

I took out my phone and begin to text Amir, Zoë, Frans and Laura. I texted them to meet me at my hotel room, Room 110 at a local Marriott, because I have to show them the katana and tell them of my weird encounter, possibly related to what happened last night since I heard 'Gibborims'. I put my phone back in my pocket and begin to wrap the katana again.
