Cherreads

Chapter 30 - Chapter 30

Justine and Bruce are sitting next to each other.

Bruce: Alright, I got it

He shows the security camera of the warehouse, and after skipping through the footage, he finds where the spike happens, as they see the bat glowing and Monri hitting the ball, then they hear a loud crack before everyone cheers.

Justine: Wait, did you hear that? Play it again

Bruce does it, and Justine tracks where the ball went.

She gets up, walks to where Monri was and where the ball went as she walks forward, and goes to where the ball would've landed, and when she spots it, she sees the floor underneath it is heavily cracked.

Justine: This is absolutely the person we are after. Give the picture to the nerds at HQ to find out where he is

Bruce: Alright

Back to the Squad members in the forest.

They reach their camp.

Connor: Lori, call the base. Everyone else, stay sharp in case we are followed.

She takes the drone and flips it upside down, revealing a button. Then she presses it, and when she does, a hologram of a blue keyboard with a blue screen on it appears. She types #9# on the keyboard, and after a few seconds, the blue screen glitches, then shows a rough-looking older man with white hair and beard with scars all over his face as he is wearing some sort of black jacket, and he speaks in a rough and old voice.

???: Have you completed the mission

Connor: Sir George, we need more supplies and reinforcement. The target size is in the hundreds, not tens.

George: Request denied

Connor: But, Sir, we-

George: Be quiet, we knew the target number was in the hundreds, the secret our Corporation held from the public for so long will be revealed in time to factors we cannot control.... So the higher-ups are doing some spring cleaning of sorts, so we can Rise when the world Falls, consider yourselves fired.

As the hologram goes back to a blue screen. Everyone stood there in silence until they heard ants coming to their location.

Connor:...Everyone... If we survive this, how would you like some revenge?

Sophia: I think we speak for everyone when I say, I would like that very much

Everyone else nods in agreement.

Connor: Since we were fired, there was no need to go with their rules, so we can go all out

Connor closes his eyes, and when he opens them, his eyes are golden with a cat-like pupil colored black.

Hours later, with Bruce and Justine.

They are in a top-floor room of a luxury hotel, where a man in full tactical gear with the Zord corporation Logo enters.

Zord Employee: One of the newer teams coming up as we speak, and we have the top floor fully covered with armed personnel. Would you like me to debrief them and send them out as soon as they arrive?

Justine: No, just send them to observe him for a few days. We need to know if he is working with anyone.

Zord Employee: Got it, Boss

With Monri in his bunker.

Monri is in the training area, holding his sword as he is wearing a white tank top with black shorts and gray socks, as he is sweating.

Al: You have completed the task of practicing the sword for 3 hours. Would you like me to remind you of the quest you have to complete?

Monri: Yes

Al: You are to retrieve blue crystals from the Zord corporation, and in return for compliments, Skills

Monri: Skills? Just skills like not a skill, just a skill? What does that even mean?

Al: I unfortunately cannot answer. All I know is that when you complete this quest, you will get a Skill.

Monri: vague, I also need to see a doctor since I see weird, colorful mist sometimes... So many things to do and I-

In the middle of his sentence, Al speaks without emotion.

Al: Did you say colorful mist?

Monri: Yes, are you good, Al?

Al: Keywords Recognized..... Contingency Plan G-152 Has Been Activated..... Timeline Accelerated.... Quest System Accelerated.... Searching for Current Quest... Located..... New Quest System Active..... Complete, Returning To Normal... In 3... 2... 1.....

Monri: Al?

Al: I have returned

Monri: What just happened

Al: I have been given extra information due to saying a keyword. Seeing colorful mist is a sign that the barrier and wall are going down earlier than expected.

Monri: What wall and barrier?

Al: I unfortunately don't know all. I know they are going down fully earlier than expected. Also, due to your father's contingency plan, your old quest System is destroyed, and a new system has been implemented. Would you like me to explain it?

Monri: Yes

Al: One explanation is coming right up

Tbc....
