Kayde Maxiumus: The Story of Vigilante Chrome (Book 1 Part 2) [Blink]

CHAPTER 3: What Would You Do?

Kayde looked at the guardian in panic,“legion? What about Alice, we have to find her!”

The Guardian replied humorously to kayde, "We? heh, no no man no can do, YOU have to leave now.” The guardian then Pressed a button on his arm. In an instant, he just disappeared from Kayde's eyes. He on the other hand still heard him close by but very faintly, as the door from Alex’s study made a click noise, as if the guardian locked and secured it.

Kayde looked confused in panic, “where-”?

He didn’t know where to go or where the guardian was, until he felt his arm tug from something in front of him.

"Don't let them take the medallion" a voice whispered as it let him go. "I should have been more honest, you're just a kid that shouldn't be mixed up in all this".

Snapping out to his conscience he remembered, “...home, I have to go home”.

Kayde then ran for the door, and out to the side street back home away from the so-called Legion.

The guardian staring, murmured afar “atta boy”, as footsteps from the outside thumped closer to where he was. "My boss is gonna kill me for this one, didn't get what he wanted..."

Somewhere else was a mile or two away as the pace of kayde running began to slow down, he stopped to look back. By then he was at the roundabout, exactley where he fell in the fountain that same day earlier. In minutes to what felt like hours to Kayde he sat near a lonely stair well troubled in his thoughts, assuring he was able to make it home safe from that point on. They knew it and so did he, deep down that as long as he had that medallion, he was already a player in the game. He could have just gave it to the guardian, let alone Casio or Alice, but by sedimental value it was inherited to him by the belated passing of his uncle Allen. Kayde could also just throw it away what was inside since it was broken but fixable, he could just dispose its components and keep the medallion by itself making it offically useless to those who seek out for it. The problem with that was that he didn't have the key, leaving the components locked inside. In conclusion, he recalled the dire message left in the Journal regarding the medallion as if it was meant for him and him alone; That no matter what Kayde had in mind to move away from the coming threat, he had been apparently chosen to weild the torch being passed down to him by his Uncle. He had to go back, there was no way the guardian could do it on his own. As he looked into an abyss recalling similar things from the past, he was on his way back to the Library before he knew it. On his way were unmarked vehciles, none of which recognized Kayde as they drove by. At the library the main front and probably everywhere else around it was being survellenced. With this in mind he went through the vendelation shaft through the roof considering it was the safest place to go to and by then the vendalation was shut off making it easier. There were many types of vehicles that were there, all labeled with a white symbol that looked like a cult shaped triangle. To kayde it had to be the so-called “Legion” that the guardian was talking about.

“That symbol,” Kayde muttuered in thought.

He couldn’t remember what the symbol was, but he knew it meant bad news. As he stumbled down the vents he landed in the main office. Outside the desk were two armed soldiers quietly standing, they looked as if they wouldn’t hesitate to fire upon anything that moved while at the same time they did. Kayde didn’t have anything to throw except, the components underneath Alice’s desk which was a library stamp.

“Sorry about this,” he muttered in case if she ever wondered what happened to it.

Kayde threw the stamp against the window, following a loud crash of it hitting against the window. The soldiers looked around frantic, immediately kicking in a panic attack inside kayde as they ran to the noise shouting demands hysterically. One was male, while the other was female. Kayde afraid ran across as fast as he could to grab the journal. On the corner of his eye, he saw the guardian tied down, kayde’s heart dropped, he looked either unconscious or was possibly dead. Upon opening the door, he forgot that it was locked so with a shake and a kick, he still couldn’t get it to open.
