The Power Of N

Chapter 14: Ultimate Sacrifice.

Chapter 14: Ultimate Sacrifice.

Nina opened her eyes and see that she's still holding the orb but now, it was cracked.

She remembers everything about her Mom and Aiden.

She let go and back away from it then it crumbles into pieces, releasing a dark light and a loud explosion that sends Nina away until her back hit one of the walls. And she lost consciousness.

Holly and Artemis felt the force pulling around them stopped then they heard an explosion. They wait for a second then entered it. The Orb is gone, so is the yellowish pale light. The entities are gone too. But there's no Nina found in the room.

They entered the place where the orb is and found her in the left side of the wall unconscious and head is bleeding. Possibly because of the impact.

Holly hurriedly come to her and heals her. The wound in her head is gone now but she's still unconscious. While Artemis is looking for something they could carry home for experiment.

"Artemis. Stop that and help me carry her. We need to get out of here." Holly yelled then they felt that the ceiling was almost about to fall down.

"NOW!"

Artemis carries Nina and Holly is running behind them. There is falling debris now. The venue is falling out. After a long struggle of avoiding the debris and going on the surface because they are in the underground. They see a pile of dead bodies around...

"What happened here?" Artemis asked while catching his breath.

"The entities are hurting the people when I get here. I can't fight them so I find you and became worried that maybe something bad happens."

"Well, something did happen. This is a horrible sight." Artemis said while fighting not to stare at the dead. "Never in my mind that I think will I see a pile of dead people until now."

"All of the other guests except us are dead."

"Yes. And the island is sinking. So we better hurry."

Artemis and Holly ran until they reached their jet with Butler outside waiting for them. As they reached the big man, he scooped Nina out of Artemis and makes their way inside.

"We have to go."

"Artemis. The jet engine is malfunctioning."

"What?!"

"I tried to fix it and then I know that the reason of malfunctioning is because of hacking the D.P.A. head system."

"Virus."

"Yes..."

Nina wakes up by Artemis and Holly's earlier outburst.

"What happened?"

"The systems malfunctioned." Butler answered.

"We can't go?" Nina asked.

"We can. Give me time."

"There's no time to give, Arty. The waters will reach as now."

Just then another tremendous shake on the island was felt.

"I'll call Foaly, tell him to get us a shuttle."

"I thought we don't have time?!"

"But at least there is a station here near in the Pacific that can give us a shuttle."

Nina just stared at their commotion. She didn't know how to operate a jet so she also didn't know what to do. They're out of time. Possibly luck.

"Where's Aizen?" Holly asked eagerly.

Yes. Aizen might help. But he's gone now. Inside the Orb.

"He's gone. He was inside the Orb before I destroy it." That sent them to stop what they're doing...

"I'm sorry." No, Holly shouldn't be sorry. Nina thought. Actually she made them out an escape, with a mix of a little sacrifice.

"No. Make the engine go. Now."

"We can't."

"Try again!" Nina said as she hurriedly pushed Butler gently out of the way and gets out of the jet.

"Nina!" Holly was about to follow but the jet door was locked. They can't open it from the inside.

Now, Nina is in front of them, just outside. The island now was almost eaten in half... Both parties can see each other clearly.

Artemis...

Nina called using her telepathic powers.

I know you can't answer me back but let's just say a sister responsibility is to protect her family.

Artemis now takes the hint and move shook his head eagerly.

You also did this, didn't you?

Nina now concentrates her powers to lift the jet in a careful manner.

This is kind of unfair. After all, I chose to live earlier.

"Then if you want to live stop standing there and come back here!" Holly and Butler surprised at Artemis sudden outburst and took the hint why is Nina standing there.

Artemis. Listen carefully, boy... You see my bag there in my seat?

Artemis nodded.

I officially transfer you the right to my greatest possession, my private journal. Keep it or burn it, but there is one thing I want you to do...

Then a rush of wave is coming to them but it stopped just after the woods... Nina is stopping it. She lifts her right hand to stop it and lifts her left hand to make the jet fly. She was too occupied.

The three of them inside the jet was seeing the maybe, one of the horrendous sights they can see in their lifetime.

Nina now is drawing some blood in her nose, coughing and let out a few drops of blood from his mouth. Due to overuse of her power...

"Nina!" The three of them protest and screamed inside the jet.

Violet Tsirblou. She still continues to talk to Artemis.

Write me a happy ending...

She can't contain the force of the water anymore and lots of it is coming in her side now...

And remember who I am, always...

...

Off you go.

She uses all her full force to make the jet engine start, while lifting it up but her concentration was now gone as the waves of ocean full eats the island with her.

In a barely moment before the jet falls back again, it works...

The jet functioned now perfectly.

But it seems that they lost a comrade on it.
