#1 The Aftermath Of The Apocalypse

Chapter 6: Old friends

As Luke and I play zombies it suddenly had become night time. I turn to him and ask him, "Hey Luke, did you notice something weird during the whole incident that happened yesterday?" "No, why..?"

"I don't know, it's just that everything happened so fast. We started playing zombies at 2AM but its already 10PM, in just... 8 minutes."

"Come to think of it, I felt it too," Luke said while realizing it.

"Call Sean," I said so nervously.

"Hey Sean." "What's up." "Did you alter time again." "No, why."

"Sean, I need you to listen, call everyone and meet us at the park," I said.

"Why what's wrong," he said so worried. "I'll explain at the park just hurry."

"Alright let's go to the park," I tell Luke.

30 minutes later...

As Luke and I are waiting in the park, we see a hooded figure walking by and we didn't think much of it, but it suddenly stopped walking and looked at us with an eerie vibe.

Sean, John, and Kathy run towards us but all of a sudden, the figure dissapeared into thin air.

"Wait, where did it go?" I said so confused.

"Where did what go?" Sean said.

"There was a-a hooded figure standing but then ran at us from the sidewalk."

"Well it's gone now, we don't have to worry about it." "Okay."

As they gathered in the benches I start explaining to them.

"Okay, the reason I called you is that, haven't you guys felt that the whole fight happened a bit too fast."

"Yeah, I felt it. It's like whoever's controlling the time was there during the fight and we didn't notice, but why is he targeting us five."

"I don't know, but all I know is that he or she can be here with us listening and getting ready to attack," I said.

"Wait! What if that shadow figure was the person who's controlling time," Luke said. "You could be on to something but we can't prove it," I said.

*whisper* "Guys stay quiet, it's right behind you John. Don't move and act natural. I got this," Sean said.

"Hey guys, I forgot to show you my new ability," I said. *I can see what Sean was trying to do and it's a good plan but there was a flaw.*

*The figure is fast so we need to think fast to be able to hit him.*

"I call it "Demonic Fireball."
*What am I doing I don't even know how to do the Demonic Fireball move. Alright I'll try to make it look like one.*

"Cool, let me do my new ability over too," Sean said already knowing what I'm doing.
"Mine is called "Fiery Destruction."

We both get ready with our "new" abilities and get ready to throw. The figure looks impressed but it looks like he also knows about our plan.

We aim and throw our abilities.

"Aaaaarrggghhh," we both yell.

It looked like we hit it and once the smoke cleared up, it was on the ground and injured.

"Who sent you to spy on us," Kathy said while unmasking the figure.
"Th-The one who s-sent me was
CLOCKWORK"

*We all gasped*

The man died because of the heavy damage. John all of a sudden walks away with a menacing look in his eyes.

"Uh, John, where are you going," I said confused.

"I have an old friend, that I thought I killed, to meet up with." "John, wait."

"Listen to me, I don't need your help guys, I can handle him by myself. You guys wouldn't understand my struggle and what I'm dealing with." John said angrily.

"We can understand your struggle, just let us help accomplish what you need to do. We're a team and there's no I in team," a familiar voice said.

"Chris, John, Luke, Sean, turn around."

*Gasps*

"Wow, you guys did change," the voice says while grinning and laughing.
