The Dimensional Escape

Chapter 4

Hello! Sorry if I have been procrastinating on this one and wrote Suzanne's Diary instead. Anyway, I am going to be doing extreme research for Suzanne's Diary and The Run, (Heck, writing is not as easy as breathing.) while making my project which is making an article. It's sad.

Anyway, I was still doubting whether I am going to dedicate it or not, but I need readers(especially smart ones) and I need comments! :)

If you share the same name, age, birthday, or etc. with my characters, it's a chance and a coincidence. Oh, no sueing. No court meetings. Just be kind. :) If you have money, spare me a piece of bread! I'm just by Edbrooke Gardens, begging spare change!

On with the story!

Chapter 4: Niveus Ixora(White Ixora)

“O-omega?” asked he with a tinge of disbelief in his voice.

Sophia simply nodded to him, yet, it seemed like Anthony needed more than a nod to make him understand. She even wanted to smack the scientist’s head to put the tiniest information that he was indeed standing in a different dimension. Is he really smart? Sophia asked herself quietly.

“R-really?” asked he again, as if the fact that he was in a different dimension – not to mention, in a hard-to-find dimension – was too big for his small brain to understand. Sometimes, his brain does a colourful blackout whenever shocked, and it was taking over him lately. His face expressed a very confused and unbelieving countenance, an expression which was countered by Sophia’s it-is-so-obvious looks.

“I thought you were a smart kid,” started Sophia as she went back to the lake and sat down on the allotted flowers. Little faeries settled themselves all around Sophia, brightening the goddess more than she was. I’d say she could blind someone in a second. “I never imagined you would have a hard time understanding the dimensions. Bloody Black Hole, I’m starting to regret choosing you for becoming my key!”

“Sorry,” apologized he, “but I had had too much to take this day and I just happened to have more than my limit. My brain is going to explode soon if you’d force more stuff into my brain…”

Sophia ignored the warning and replied immediately. “You’re not going away, Anthony, and if you do, say farewell to mankind in a month.”

“Oh, I do no—wait, did you just say month?”

“Bloody Hole, just look at this hopeless guy,” muttered Sophia under his breath.

Meanwhile, in Aeonius, Anthony’s laboratory was being infiltrated by the Nobles. They weren’t the Higher Nobles who were in-charge of the Top Secret capsule or the scientists monitoring the capsule. The Nobles that invaded Anthony’s Laboratory were the Lesser ones; they were in-charge of defending the Aeonians and the entire planet as well. The were the best of the best soldiers in Aeonius, but they seriously do not have the brains.

Jane was stuck with two unconscious humans who were probably fighting already like an old married couple in a different dimension. It was a sweet life for the android…very sweet, sarcastically, yes.

“Damn it, Robi and Sophia-girl…,” cursed she while facing an awful lot of armour-clad Soldier Nobles – or the Lesser Nobles. She readied her machinery and switched to her defence mode…hoping it would be enough to defeat at least two dozens of Nobles to buy her enough time to evacuate the sleeping couple.

“All right,” declared Sophia, “prepare for a very loooooong story telling.” Anthony gulped. He doesn’t know if he can still make it or he might vomit in the paradise as a side-effect of putting too much information in a day. He had done quite a lot of vomiting fits when he was assigned in the Research Team a couple of years ago. Hence, his special promotion to Noble recently and the sole reason why the entire board agreed on it was because of his vomiting fits in the Laboratory which not only often, but always sabotage every single test done in the Laboratory.

Back to Omega, Anthony sat on the ground while his hands were shaking. He could obviously feel the bile coming up in his throat and a merely thought of getting more information would only speed up the bile’s advances. Oh, shit. Please, God, do not make me barf.

“Little faeries, do some antiemetic spells to him, please.”

Faeries then approached Anthony and danced around him and left sparkling specks of light falling like glitters as they left a trail behind them. Oh, God, this is so magical. I should take home one of these for research. All of a sudden, his nausea disappeared like it had never visited his system at all. His stomach didn’t feel bad and no more bile in his throat. He felt brand new.

“Are you all right now? Can I proceed?” asked Sophia, her tone failed to hide her concern.

Anthony nodded and scooted nearer to the lake. Sophia started with clearing her throat and a few finger-breaking massages to her own hand.

“My real name is Niveus,” started she, “Sophia is actually just my human name. I was supposed to be the Preserver of the World until my human father suddenly got evil enough to put me in a container for a thousand years. He promised my mum that he would take us to Aeonius before I get born, but I was pre-mature when I came out, around seven months or so. That enraged him and hence, my human body got locked. I am very unconscious inside the capsule, until someone white called me.”

She looked at Anthony, who wore a disbelieving look. “So, you were trying to say that you’re like a Goddess?” Sophia, or Niveus, popped a vein in her head.

“Speaking ‘bout goddesses, who are you praising in Aeonius?” She changed the topic. Oh, drifting thoughts…

“P-praising? Uhh…the King, perhaps?” answered he, seemingly unsure of his own answer. As a reaction, Sophia stood up from her flowery seat and jolted up in the air with a shocked expression.

Everything seemed to pause in Omega; it became quiet. Even a single drop of the waterfalls was not heard. Then, Sophia muttered under her breath, “What?”

After, she collapsed on the lake.

Jane had overpowered the Lesser Nobles in a mere second. There was barely a scar or a scratch on the android. She kept on evading the laser beams from the Lesser Nobles’ gun. Her hands converted into a gun and shot laser beams herself as well. She took out at least a hundred of them that day in two minutes. Her left hand threw two button-like gadgets that were just a size of a shirt button onto the floor. After the button had lain on the floor, she pulled a lever switch from a compartment under her left leg. Jane pressed the switch and gave them a mirroring type defence field, or in other words, a cloaking device.

The Lesser Nobles invaded the small laboratory again, but due to Anthony’s invention – although, prototype, the three were not seen. Jane gave the unconscious duo a stare and found Sophia’s bleeding head.

“Oh, shit.”

Anthony ran toward Sophia’s side, but before he could reach her, she started glowing up and disappeared into thin strands of light.
