    Sullivain smirked. "I knew you could do it." He grabbed Angel's hand and the two of them dashed past the dazed Earthborn. They scrambled through the halls.

    "We have to make it to the staircase, that can take us to the surface."

    THE SURFACE? YOURE CRAZY. Cedric screamed.

    "Well, what other option do we have?" Sullivain replied.

    Go to the safety bunker!? Cedric offered.

    "If this place isn't safe, the bunker isn't either."

    But its better than the surface.

    "At least, if I can figure out how to use my powers, I can defend myself."

    Cedric rolled his eyes, but gave up on arguing. As Sullivain rounded the corner, he let out a few unpleasant swears. Guarding the emergency exit was one of the largest Earthborn he had ever seen. He looked strangely human, with his arms brown and woodlike instead of gray and stoneish like the others he had seen. His skin was an olive color, and his shoulders were adorned with moss. His abdomen was exposed, showing a muscled, human-like stomach. In fact, if Sullivain hadn't known better, he would have thought this man was human. His eyes drifted up, and he saw that the man had dark green hair that was being held back by a pair of sunglasses. His eyes were a cold gold color, and they seemed to see right through Sullivain.

    "Ah look, our guests have arrived." the Earthborn said.

    He can talk? Sullivain thought in amazement. He had never met an Earthborn that could talk before. Or one that was 7 feet tall.

    Oh crap. Cedric said.

    Angel started at him, a new kind of fear rushing through him. He began to back up, yanking in hand away from Sullivain's. All he did was stare with very visible fear, the level of emotion that Angel had never expressed before.

    Any words he said were no more than a stutter. He didn't know who this was, but he already knew the two of them were dead.

    Sullivain got an idea. It was a horrible idea, but it was an idea. He scoffed. "Are you going to keep standing there or are you going to defeat them? Pathetic. If I could control my powers, I would have killed these things already." He rolled his eyes. "I thought they said they chose the 'best of the best' for this, and yet somehow, you got these powers. They should have given these powers to someone who can use them."

    He got more and more upset, saying incomprehensible thing in his squeaky voice as the wind picked up more and more. Eventually the wind did end up launching the earthborn, slamming them into the metal walls. This caused many of the earthy pieces of the beings to crack.

  3. 1 minute ago, Heather Chandler said:

    "How are you doing this, and could you please teach me? Right now I feel like being able to make the lights go away isn't that helpful." Sullivain asked. The Earthborn were getting closer, and if Angel didn't magically make them go flying into a corner in the next minute, they would be reduced to smithereens.

    "I DUNNO MAN I'M JUST VERY VERY STRESSED AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I'M DOING THIS" He said in a squeaky voice. As his voice raised, the Earthborn were pushed back yet again, the wind raising up again.

    Sullivain wanted to do anything but that, but considering his options were trust Angel and hope not to die, or certainly die, he decided to take his chances with Angel. He, refusing to stand completely behind him, stood to Angel's left. It was only then when his back collided with the steel wall of the end of the hall.

    "This plan of yours had better work." Sullivain told Angel nervously, watching as the Earthborn savagely stalked towards the two boys.

    His stress only continued and as a result, the wind continued. The beings staggered and struggled as they approached, but didn't stop.

    "C'MON JUST STOP ALREADY" He angrily shouted. The wind picked up as he shouted, slightly pushing the Earthborn backwards.

  5. 9 minutes ago, Heather Chandler said:

    Sullivain rolled his eyes, and jumped to the side as one of the Earthborn lunged at him.

    "Look, we stand no chance at killing these things. Trust me, I've tried." He told Angel. "If we want to somehow escape, we have to hit them with something harder than a Merriam-Webster."

    If these so-called savior powers could work right now that would be fantastic. Sullivain thought as the short Earthborn reached out to punch him in the face. He ducked, just barely, and he felt the side of his cheek collide with the rough, rock-like texture of an Earthborn hand.

    Angel frantically thought... he thought and thought. He was gonna die here. Wasn't he?

    At this moment full of stress, the breeze in the hallway started to pick up. This was odd, as the hallway was still completely enclosed. The stress kept building up.

    The wind sped up, but all of it was channeled at the Earthborn, aka right in front of Angel. The wind whipped as the earthborn aiming for Angel started to struggle through the wild gusts. 

    Was... was he doing this?...

    "Sullivain! Get behind me, I might have a plan" he said through his discomfort, the wind in front of him still as strong as ever.

  6. 1 hour ago, Heather Chandler said:

    Sullivain looked at Angel, and then at the Earthborn, who had returned to their feet and looked even more bent on murdering both of them.

    "Kid, what are you doing!" Sullivain exclaimed. "I appreciate the help, but I really doubt that a dictionary can kill a pile of rocks!"

    "well I'm sorry! Guess I should have just let you die!" He said angrily, still holding his ground as the Earthborn's approached him. "And I'm still not a KID!" He said with a growl, never looking back at Sullivain throughout all of this. well, this is it. He thought solemnly, Killed by these.... things... Trying to fight them with a book!

  7. 3 minutes ago, Heather Chandler said:

    Sullivain's sleep wasn't peaceful or long, because soon he was awakened by two noises. The sound of Cedric singing loudly, and the sound of sirens.

    Sullivain's heart hammered. Those... those are the Infected sirens...

    He jumped out of bed, still dressed in that ridiculous outfit he had been forced to wear to give his speech. He frantically threw on a long sleeved black shirt and cargo pants. He kept the cape-thing, it had kinda grown on him. Besides, who knows, maybe those stupid scientists had made it reinforced or something. He threw the other ridiculous outfit parts in his backpack, and raced out the door.

    Sullivain's hopes of this just being a drill were crushed when he saw the hall. It was empty now, and he knew exactly why.

    He could smell them before he saw them, the stench of something rotten mixed with grass. And then they rounded the corner. There were two of them, one tall and lanky and the other short and plump. They looked human enough, in their form. That was until you took a closer look. Their limbs were square-ish and gray, covered in moss, dirt, and in the tall one's case, little flowers. Their torsos were bare, exposing their stomach, which was the only human-colored part of them left. Their chest was solid rock, studded too with moss, except the short one also had twigs sticking out where their heart would normally be. And their faces were covered by their hair, which had been transformed into some kind of earth plant. The tall one's luscious green locks covered every detail of their face and stretched down to the ground, while the plump one's vines stopped at their shoulders.

    Earthborn... Sullivain thought with terror. He wanted to run, but knew it would be in vain. The Earthborn had noticed him by now, and they communicated by making clicking sounds, like dolphins, if dolphins could kill you.

    Sullivain knew he was dead. No one could take down an Earthborn. His mother couldn't, Cedric couldn't. His best bet was to run. But he couldn't. He was frozen in terror. Cedric was floating next to him, his face frozen in horror.

    How... how did they find us... and how did they get in? This place was supposed to be intangible to them-

    Cedric was interrupted by the sound of shrill cries from the Earthborn, and the thunderous sound of them charging at Sullivain.

    Crap.

    Angel's sleep was light. Nothing was right. I mean, he ended up being correct about that. He jolted awake at the sounding of the alarms. That dreaded sound that nobody wanted to hear... ever. Especially not him. He got up and, still wearing his pajamas and missing the mask he held dearly, peeked his head outside, where Sullivain was staring straight at a duo of those horrible beasts known as earthborn. 

    What was he doing?! He thought with worry and rage as he saw Sullivain just standing there. Angel ducked back into his room, frantically looking around and figuring out something to do. I can't use my funky powers yet! I don't even know how they work! He thought before he grabbed the biggest book he could find in his room. 

    He ran back out as the earthborn charged towards Sullivain. As barely more than his instincts took control, he started to run over to him. Angel raised the book up, suddenly bolting past Sullivain and slamming the tall earthborn's head as hard as he could. The creature got knocked over for a second before stumbling back to their feet, and falling again. The shorter one did a double take, obviously distracted by the distress of its ally. 

    at that moment, Angel's reason came back as he backed up a bit. What was he doing?! This is so dumb! Now we're both gonna die! He thought as he held the book, adrenaline running through his veins as he held the book, ready for whatever came at him.

    He looked at the scientist, and then sat down on the stage. He closed his eyes, and let his troubles melt away.

    He thought back, back to life before the Earthborn came, before Gaia, before everything

    He smelled ramen

    His mother had made ramen

    Cedric was eating the ramen

    Cedric was alive

    Cedric struggled at geometry

    Sullivain was still in school

    He could go home and watch cartoons and eat pizza like nothing else mattered

    Because nothing did matter back then

    Slowly, he felt a wave of calmness wash over him. When he opened his eyes, the bright lights were back, shining on Sullivain sitting criss cross applesauce on a stage, with Jayden holding a ball of flaming light dangerously close to the scientist's face, who was laughing nervously.

    As the lights came back on, Angel curled tighter into a ball backstage, attempting to cover his eyes as well now that the lights were back on

    He felt horrible

    Please let him leave

    The lights were too loud

  9. As these few people discussed their abilities and powers, Angel sat in as much of a corner as he could put himself in and pulled his beanie over his ears.

    Was him being here really necessary?

    He didn't like it here

    It was loud

    and nothing was comfortable

    Angel simply wanted to go back to his room...

    A guard turned to Cedar and Otto. "Stop crying. He was a criminal. He murdered people with the help of a god. His death was just and deserved."

    Otto looked at the guard in disbelief. Even if he did kill people, he still deserved a fair trial, and a chance to explain himself. Instead, Kamado just killed him. And I stood by and watched.

    "Shut the HELL up" Cedar snapped back, his face still red from the tears. "You don't know who he was at all! nobody did! not even.. me.." He trailed off and fell silent again, staring at the floor.

  11. On 5/31/2023 at 10:00 PM, Heather Chandler said:

    Otto didn't even fight when he was led to a lifeboat and told to sit down. The water on the top level was up to his ankles, so anyone on the lower levels was definitely dead. Otto wanted to cry. He wanted to throw up. He wanted to scream. He wanted to punch everyone, but mainly Kamado. But instead, he just sat there in silence, staring out at the endless horizon, thoughts empty.

    Cedar sat next to him, his head full and tears streaming from his eyes. He wanted to help, all he wanted was to help... And this is how it ended, huh?.. Nobody was happy, nobody was helped here.

  12. 1 hour ago, Heather Chandler said:

    Otto looked at Kamado, and then to Iris's lifeless body floating in the water. His eyes were filled with horror.

    Did he... oh gods, I think I'm gonna be sick- He didn't say he was gonna kill him...

    Kamado wiped his hands against his cloak. "Well, now that the vermin's been taken care of," he turned around dramatically. "Time to deal with my grandson. Otto, Cedar, you are dismissed." Kamado turned to a few guards on the stairs. "Take them to the lifeboats." And with that, Kamado marched up the stairs. Otto gulped nervously. He took one final look at Iris's body, and followed the horde of guards moving towards the lifeboats.

    Cedar didn't look up as tears streamed down his face and he was dragged to the lifeboats along with Otto. He didn't say a word and his breathing was heavy and slow. He sat silently in the lifeboat and stared at the ground as they floated off into the water. Was it worth it?.. Of course it was... wasn't it? ARGH why did he have to ask so many questions?! He thought as he stared silently, his expression barely changing as he went through waves of emotion.

  13. Cedar stood on the sinking ship, gazing down at the drowned Iris... did he?.. was this?... this was his own fault, wasn't it?... NO! Iris was a liar and a horrible person... as thoughts rushed through his mind, Cedar gazed at the rising water as it clung to his clothing. With all of these factors, Cedar fell to his knees, the water beneath him splashing up and sloshing around him. Cedar began to cry. he had no idea why he was crying, but it felt.. right.
