SCEPTRE: I

Ερήμωση

I ran with Lukas till we got to the van. "What do we know?" I asked on sitting.

"Not much." Lukas said "Just that

He took only students from the Cafeteria. 

"And what is his plan now." I said

"I believe I can help." The last voice I wanted to hear said. I turned to the screen and saw the face of Atila Kraft, his cold smile in full glare.

"What do you want Atila." Lukas said

"I believe my patience is running thin." He said "I will no longer wait for you to choose to surrender;  you are of no use to me, for now."

"Thanks, I feel much better." I said

"Ah, sarcasm.  Enjoy it while it lasts."

Atila said "I will tell you this. In about three hours the world leaders will begin a United Nations meeting. I plan to kill a few of them. Perhaps that will be the spark that is required to bath the world in the most natural form of order;Chaos."

"To what end." I asked

"For the greater good." Atila said "And all the children taken will also be killed in that time frame. I offer you a chance to save one or the other." He said, his smile very pronounced at this point.

"Don't do this Atila."

"You have about two hours and fifty five minutes." He said "Good day."

The screen went dark.

"What am I supposed to do, I can't be in both places at once, and we don't em know where all the other children are."

"You won't have to." Memphis Kraft's  voice said in my head "Open the door."

I opened the door, to Lukas's surprise and Memphis entered the van. "I can help. Go save the world leaders, Lukas and I will begin to search for the kids.

Atila Kraft, in his pride, handed us the most potent weapon in his arsenal; Memphis.

"Okay, I'm off to the United Nations secretariat in New York." I said "Save them all." I told Memphis.

I teleported back to my room in the Baker Manor to prepare for the journey.

MEMPHIS.

"How are we supposed to find them?" Lukas asked

"I figured out yesterday that if I look hard enough for anyone I can find them, the closer the better."

"Good. Keep looking and I will try trace his company activities to find probable holding areas."

I concentrated on the one person I knew well among them; Luke Carlsbad.

I kept focusing on the energy I felt from him and I tried to find its nearest location.

I located him.

"Lukas. You won't believe this."

"Nothing much surprises me." Lukas said

"They are closer than we think." I said

"How so?"

I looked down at the ground.

"Right under our noses. Literally."

Under the IIA.
TIME TO DEADLINE: 1hour 15 minutes.

"The scumbag us smart." Lukas said, then his expression changed when he remembered that Atila is my father "Sorry."

"No problem." I said "He created an entire underground facility. No one searches here because it doesn't exist."

"Yeah."

Lukas texted someone.
Kraft has kids underground, backup.

I wonder how the backup will get it considering I had to create a tunnel out of nothing for us and seal it back to avoid us getting caught. It wasn't easy.

We ran through the corridor and when we ran into any guard who was unaware I simply knocked him out with my mind (Awesome right?)

I stopped in front of black door "They're all in here" I said "Or a lot of them anyway."

I willed the door to open and it did.

About fifty teenagers and younger children sat on the ground in a vast room. The first person I saw was a redhead, who was comforting a younger child. "Memphis?" She said

"Yeah. That's me."

Another voice spoke up. "Memphis?" "Where?"

"Right here." I said

Luke Carlsbad got up from where he was seated among the other kids. He ran up to me and pulled me into a hug. It felt a bit awkward initially but I actually liked it.

"How are you here?" He asked

"I'm special." I said, smiling at him.

"Okay everyone, we're getting out."

Lukas said.

"Not a chance."a brutish voice said. I turned to see a huge man, holding a double headed axe and standing in front of the exit.

"Everyone stand back." Lukas said. He brought out a knife from his bag, and ran at the man. The man did not move and Lukas brought his knife across the man's chest.

I watched as the injury began to heal before us all. The man smiled, that annoying evil smile. "My turn." He took a slash at Lukas, who bent and dodged the blade and jumped backwards.

"Interesting." Lukas said. "Regeneration.  Atila has improved his work."

"Hold on guys." I said, anger building up in me; I wasn't going to let Atila hurt anyone else, all these children  deserve to live full happy lives.

I screamed and charged at the guard.
