Two Different Worlds; A Space Travelling Story

Chapter 19 - Attacked

I went to my room after my discussion with Blake. There are two questions floating around my mind, one is what am I supposed to do once I made it back alive? Two is will I survive the tunnel without it tearing my body apart? One thing is for sure, we have to convince them that the Jack they are seeing is not me.

How do I do that?

And then it clicked in my mind. Everything we've been through, everything we've established, has been recorded by the Assistant. Even the part when we were overlooking their universe. Okay, this is good. I finally have an idea of what we're going to do, but will that be enough to convince them?

Maybe not, but it's the only thing we can do.

I went to the laboratory while trying to figure out how to stop that other me, or will that not be possible? Hopefully no. I started building an enclosed dome made of Iron and Nickel, I used some Automatic Doors that can open and close at will. I covered the outside with Rubber, a thick layer of Rubber if I may say so myself. The whole thing will be closed off so I have to put a small and compact Oxygenator inside to keep us from suffocating with a few gas tanks. The container is big enough for three people so I guess it should be comfortable for the two of us.

Thanks to my Assistant, we did this in record time. I was celebrating my success in building this as I tell the Assistant to carry it up to the machine I just made earlier. I was calm and at peace, but suddenly, I heard glass being smashed open.

'Jack! Help!' Blake shouted to me from downstairs. Her scream was so loud that it even penetrated through the thick walls and floors.

'What happened? What is going on?' I shouted back as I enter the elevator. I am having a bad feeling about this, and I don't like it.

The Elevator Doors opened and what I saw surprised me. There's a lot of agents, the ones who were with Travis from ages ago. They were pointing their guns at me, the guns' appearance doesn't look familiar. It looks to be like the one the other me was holding at the recording Blake told me about.

'You are caught. You are going back to prison, and I tell you what, things are not going to be pretty.' an agent from the back said. They were looking for us? They sure did a pretty bad job at doing it seen as we've been here the entire time. I am trying to look for Blake as the agents started approaching me.

'Back off.' I said teasingly as I point at the agents. Now in this situation, what should I do? Give up? No. I then realized a small piece of the Magnet in my pocket. I tried to grab it without them noticing, while I continue to point at them to redirect their attention.

'I dare you to shoot at me because you won't.' I taunted them. If my plan works, their bullets will be pulled by my Magnet, the same size as my whole hand.

'We don't want to do this.'

'Babies.'

'Open fire!'

I threw out the Magnet and tossed it up, the bullets aimed at me went above me and clashed with the Magnet as planned. It still has its Magnetic Properties, and thanks to the heat from the bullets, the Magnetic Field just got stronger.

'Surprised? Maybe this time, it'll shock you.' I said as I catch the Magnet filled with bullets. I faced the Magnet on them and it pulled in all of their guns. 'What an amazing collection of guns.' I continued. Perhaps I'm going to take five for the road.

'What just happened?' an agent asked. Another agent approached me and began to give me some punches, a few did the same. I took out a gun as the Magnet cools down and pointed it towards their direction.

'Move back, or I will shoot.' I said. I realized that their backup guns were also pulled in. Poor unprepared agents. They must've underestimated us since it's just the two of us.

Some agents continued to attack me, but I shot them at the leg. What? I didn't shoot them on the head, did I? I still have my humanity. I just need a little self-defense. Now time to go invisible with the distraction I made.

I walked around the hallways while holding two guns. I turned left and I was surprised. I almost pulled the trigger. I went visibly again.

'Jack! You're okay.' Blake spoke out. 'I managed to outsmart them and escape.' she continued.

'Listen, everything is prepared. Let's get out of here. Go grab your stuff and let's evacuate.' I told her. I can hear a lot of footsteps going around and someone shouted.

'They must've been the ones responsible for the failure of our Comets & Asteroids Protection System. Get them.' I heard one agent say.

'Now go.' I whispered to her. We went invisible with the help of the Assistant.

We went upstairs through the elevator. How unfortunate that the agents went up the stairs. I really thought agents were highly professional, then again, they might have just been unprepared because they underestimated us.

We split up and went to our separate rooms and took our valuable stuff. Agents are around the place, they are almost up to to the stairs.

'Alright, time to go.' I told the Assistant, and it disassembled.

I went outside and to my surprise, someone pulled me in.

'Jack, we have to go. Seriously. I have enabled the self-destruct feature in this laboratory. At one press, it will go off after a 10-second countdown, do you understand?' she said. I nodded.

She plans to destroy this whole place down. Makes sense because she really doesn't want anyone to steal her stuff and hard work. We made it up to the rooftop and, oh no. The roof is full of agents, not to mention the ones on the choppers hovering around. They are nowhere close to my machine, so I pulled Blake and ran towards it.

'Get in!' I shouted to Blake as I open up the hatch. I went in after her.

Once again, I can hear them outside. I can also hear a lot of gunshots, electricity, and heat which I think is coming out of their guns. This doesn't boost my confidence.

'We have you surrounded. Get out or we will open fire.' an agent from outside said.

I motioned over to Blake. I counted down from five with my fingers. I pressed the remote and the machine started its operation. The Solar Flare started to power the machine and open the portal. Time to go.

'Blow it up!' I shouted and Blake obeyed by pressing the self-destruct button.

'See ya!' Blake shouted.

We were pulled above the surface and we entered the portal.
