“Uncle, this is not about Thomas. This is not his decision, this is our decision,” Silas said plainly.Hearing this Kelvin approached Silas furiously. “So you think you are now a leader don’t you. Do you think you can handle yourself without me? I am older than you and your mother entrusted you to my care,” Thomas could feel the tension and it was not good. The more time they waste arguing, the more they lose both the runner and the survivors if there were any. “This is not about leadership Kelvin and even if you think that was the case I have no interest in leading. All I care about right now are the innocent lives that might be wasting out there if we don’t help them,”“Don’t you get it yet?” Kelvin furrowed his face at Thomas. “This dimension is false. This place is not our home, we don’t belong here,”“The fact that we don’t belong here doesn’t make it false, this place is home to the indigenes; this place is their earth and they deserve to live as much as we do,” Elise answered.
Felix was willing to restore peace between himself and Klaus. He recalled how much headache that he had been through with Lucy and putting Klaus though the same experience was not the right thing to do. Thomas was right; it will make him unworthy of Lucy’s forgiveness.When Felix approached Klaus, Thomas was just on the order end watching. Thomas saw them having a conversation, he knew that Felix was apologizing but he couldn’t tell what the progress was as a result of the distance between them.“Looks like you managed to create peace between those two,” Silas, who was seated down beside Thomas, said to him.“Not really,” Thomas answered.“I saw you talking him into making amends with Klaus,” Silas said.“That was not exactly what happened. I was seeing someone seated in the edge of regret and I went over to encourage him into taking the right approach,”“Like an angel,” Silas interrupted.“I don’t care how you put it but I am not an angel, I am a runner,” Thomas answered. Their conve
About half an hour later they arrived on board and they all walked out of the ice boat. Their bodies were ice cold except for Felix who was able to keep his body warm as a fire manipulator.Thomas took his eyes off the ice boat which melted away into the sea as he turned to Tyler, robbing his palm softly on his arms."This was not cool at all," Elise mumbled as she turned to Felix with a frown on her face. "Why are you staring at me that way?" Felix asked."You are so selfish…" She answered grudgingly and staring a little longer she groaned then left forging ahead towards the cliff."Elise…" Thomas called but ended up wobbling as a result of the cold. "That's not advisable. What you need right now is warmth," Sebastian said while walking past Thomas.They followed Elise and Kelvin as they tracked many miles until they arrived at the high cliff. The last time Thomas remembered that plain they were coming downwards but this time it will be different since they are supposed to move up t
“Hey!” Silas walked from the edge of the cliff to the place Thomas stood. “I don’t know what you guys were discussing but I am sure that it was irrelevant, so right now I think the best thing to do is find a comfortable spot to rest instead of wasting energy,” he hesitated as he looked a little towards the right side of the forest where Kelvin and Sebastian were seated under a tree. “What is he doing? I thought he was the one who said that we don’t have much time to waste?” Thomas said.“He is resting, conserving energy for the journey ahead. Any moment from now he will tell us to be up and ready to move so if you are wise you should be doing the same,” Silas answered and when he walked past Thomas towards the forest Thomas followed him.Thomas found a comfortable spot under a large tree where Ben was seated so he settled down there gently leaning his back on the stem of the tree.“Do you ever miss home?” Ben broke the silence as Thomas turned left to meet his gaze. “Yes I do. I am m
About five hours later Thomas' ears picked up the sound of someone yelling his name. He opened his eyes gently and still feeling dizzy, he looked forward. It was already dark and through his blurry sight he could see fiery sparks and electric blasts. To him it only seemed like fireworks mixed with noise of people, he thought it was a dream so he sat still until Elise screamed his name a lot louder.“Thomas!” he heard her call. His eyes opened up and right before him was a giant crab with its two cramps ready to smash him to pieces. Without hesitation he threw himself to the floor as he rolled away. The cramps of the crab smashed against the tree as it divided in two drastically dropping to the floor.Frightened by the sudden attack Thomas jerked off the floor, staggering backward until his back hit against a tree. While staring at the giant crab he heard the sound of wild fire from his left as he turned to see Felix battling with one of the aliens and just some feet away was Tyler and
Thomas didn’t ask any further questions, he only hoped their predictions were right. In about thirty seconds during their silence the winds gradually seized and while their hopes were high Danny alerted them of the chattering sounds he could hear coming from deep in the woods and while they all listened the sound got louder until they spotted Sebastian run out of the bush towards them.On getting to where they were Tyler caught him. He was panting and from the look on his face they could tell that the chase was still on.“Are you alright?” Kelvin asked, rushing down to where he was standing.“Yes, I managed to hold them back for a while but we have to go because they are still on our trail. We must leave now,” he said breathily and at Kelvin’s order they all went in through the portal.****"Same old, same old," Silas said, shaking his head gently as soon as they made it through."We can't remain here, we must continue our journey," Tyler suggested, still panting with his hands on
Hearing those words Kelvin moved past him as he ordered them to follow his lead. Thomas followed behind the rest of them as they forged ahead. All the way forward his eyes were dizzy and his countenance was worn out. He moved weakly but he was sure not to make anyone realize that. “Stop,” at Kevin’s order they halted. “We are here,” Kelvin said as he turned around to them. “We all know what we are up against. We are about to enter the territory of a very dangerous creature. Do all you can to keep your movement steady, avoid causing any vibration and most importantly no talking,” Kelvin ordered.“Why do we need any of that when we have our powers?” Tyler said.“Just do as I say, we will use our powers only in case of an emergency,” Kelvin answered then moved ahead and they all followed. They followed his lead and for over Thirty minutes there was no sign of any predator. To Tyler and Ben walking like the earth was about to crumble when there was no sign of a predator felt like another
The battle had just begun and Thomas was found in the middle of it with the rest of his friends. The sand snakes were not the major threat at the moment, what they were up against was the alien reptiles.The sand snakes fought rapidly. They didn’t care whether it was runners or aliens; all they cared about was defending their territory from anything that ventured in. They were ready to strike even to their detriment. Thomas also fought with all he’s got, he used the opportunity to explore the rest of his abilities and unexpectedly he was able to both manipulate fire like Felix, air like Sebastian and many others. As the battle range on the bodies of the alien reptiles fell but despite how many of them were killed they were still undefeatable because of their number. The sand snakes were also relentless but Thomas wouldn’t say the same about himself and his colleagues.The more they fought the wearier they got and when Kelvin noticed that their strengths were failing he alarmed them t
Later in the day, when he had slept to his satisfaction he walked out of his room. Stretching himself he went downstairs in search of his father and when he was halfway he heard chattering sounds coming from outside the house.He quickly opened the door and right on his doorstep was a crowd of reporters.He looked around the compound only to realize that everything was fixed."It's him, It is Thomas Celso," One of the reporters alarmed the others as they all left Tony and headed toward him instead."Can you please tell us what your role in the just resolved case was. We all heard that you played the role of Clark Kent…" While the reporters went on Tony walked up to Thomas as he carried him inside then shut the door."Dad, what's going on?" Thomas asked."Don't ask me that. I don't how it happened but you and your friends are all over the news now. Especially you, Thomas," Tony replied."What about the stuff we were supposed to fix, who did the work?" "The news about you got to the ear
"How do we stop Xander?" Andy said to Dylan who was now determined to help him and Thomas."I will take you to Xander as a captive. We have to play the game perfectly. Like you said Tony and his children are in a fight with Xander and I know if we don't get there in time someone might be killed. When we arrive, you have to give Thomas an eye signal to refrain from any violent action. When that is done I will make Xander bring you all to this place where we will chain you up to that rod," Dylan said as he pointed at a large iron rod a few feet away. "What if Xander refuses to bring us here?" Andy said."I will do my best but if Thomas is as smart as you said he is then he will pick up the signal. I am sure that Xander loves a contest. When you are chained up I must still act like I am on their side. I will offload their guns and your friend Thomas has to kindle a fire in between us. I have to test their limits, I have to know if they are truly going to kill me when I disagree to follow
Some minutes earlier….During the time Thomas’s elder brother and Father were approaching the guards who held Thomas down on his knees, Andy took Emily and Laura around the shadows as he instructed them to lay low until the time to act comes up."I will be back, take care of yourselves," Andy said before running off to the site where he intended to jeopardize the system connections that Xander and his colleagues had put together for the experiment.Upon his arrival he spotted Dylan waiting just a few feet from the portal that they intended to open."You made it," Andy said as soon as he enclosed on Dylan."I received your text message and after the little explanation you gave me I think I would like to know more… So tell me, what did your friend Thomas see?" Dylan asked."Like I said before, something happened the night you and your colleagues came to capture Thomas’s parents. Last night he was struck down by lightning and he was taken to a different dimension where he saw many things
It was a perfect triangle. The three colleagues had finally turned against each other. They knew that Thomas had planted a seed of mistrust among them but no matter what they perceived they couldn’t put the gun down. The guards who were present were also unable to do anything since Dylan had a gun pointed at Xander."Smart act Thomas," Xander said. "Even though you are tied up you still manages to play with our minds," "You think this is a joke?" Thomas said with a serious face. "This is serious and with time you will know that I am trying to save you all. The fact you have those guns pointed at each other shows that there is a presence of good even in the midst of your dark thoughts," Thomas responded with a serious face."Even after causing this havoc you are still filling us with your flattery," Xander said."Put the gun down Xander," Dylan said to him. "The kid is right, I should have realized this soon. This was a terrible idea," "So you are the unstable person among us," Edward
"Everything will be fine Ashley, I promise," Thomas encouraged her."You have to stop this. Edward please… If you have a heart, let the child go. Please," Tony pleaded but Edward hardened his heart."The moon is already up, let's go," Edward said."So finally this is your true nature," Thomas said when they were about to leave and they stopped then looked back at him."My father trusted you and we his children received you in like we will receive our own uncle. You watched us grow. You ate with us and even played soccer a few times with me and my elder brother. How did you become this person?" Thomas said, furrowing his eyebrows as he stared at Edward like a complete stranger."This is where you are getting it wrong. Everything you saw me do and you thought about was never because I loved any of you or even Tony. I was close to you all because then we saw Tony as a brother. Those love was because of sacrifice and without it you all mean nothing to me. You are all equal with a lamb and
"Xander, we have to commence with the experiment," Edward said to Xander who was still attempting to know what Thomas was hiding, however the more he delved into the conversation the more curious Xander became.It was Thomas’s game, he now wields Xander’s heart in his hand while he drives him through a maze which only he knows the exit.Thomas was perplexed but deep down he was enjoying the moment however that was not until Edward made that comment. The hallucination he had put Xander into was about to be wrecked."Don't you dare interrupt me again. We still have time whereas Dylan isn't here with the tech," Xander said, agitated by Edward's fear."We both know that this experiment can be carried out with or without the use of the tech," Edward answered but ignoring him Xander turned to Thomas again."Xander…" Edward groaned once more and hearing him Xander approached him fiercely and a quarrel burst out among them.While Xander and Edward were in dispute Matt and Tony snuck out of hid
The chain was locked with a key. The place was dark and if not that he was with a torchlight it would have been difficult to know who they were."Good evening sir," Andy said the moment he spotted Tony."What is good about the evening, whereas who are you?" Laura said rudely.Andy immediately flashed the torchlight on his face. "I am a good friend of your brother Thomas and I am here to rescue you," Andy replied."You made the wrong choice to come here because you will end up like us," Laura spoke up again."That is enough, I think I remember him," Emily interrupted Laura. "Please forgive her rude attitude," "There is no need for the apology ma'am. Thomas has told me how he and his sister constantly run into conflict. If I am being truthful, I expected worse," Andy said and Matt immediately giggled, placing his clenched fist against his mouth in order to prevent the sound from coming out louder although they all heard him giggle. Andy’s comment left Laura stunned and short of words t
After several attempts they pinned him to the floor. One of them was about to strike him but Xander stopped him with a hand signal."Don't do it, he is only a minor," Xander said to the guard then looked at Thomas again. "Hmm… What were you thinking to come here on your own, Thomas? Did you think that you could beat us and rescue your sister?" "Leave her alone you freak! She is only ten years old," Thomas said angrily.Xander laughed. "It's perfect. Haven't you heard that the most little ones have the purest blood," He said and hearing him Thomas groaned, struggling to set himself free from their grip."You should be glad because your sister will be able to serve a higher purpose," "If you lay your hand on her I'll kill you!" Thomas exclaimed. "Thomas," Ashley called with tears in her eyes.When Thomas saw her tears his blood steamed within him.He drifted his gaze up to Edwards face. The moment he saw the lack of piety in his eyes he was immediately disgusted. He couldn’t imagine t
"What is on your mind?" Andy interrupts Thomas's thought."Nothing," he sprained his eyebrows slightly then looked forward again."I can see through you Thomas. You are scared. You are scared that you might fail everyone," Andy hesitated. "You have nothing to fear because you will save them and when you do you will be rewarded and known as a hero. Your fame will spread so wide that you will forget your sorrow at this Moment,""No," Thomas interrupted. "No one should know about this. When it's over, it is best we return to our normal life and forget that any of this ever happened,""Why will you say that?" Andy asked with his face wrinkled in curiosity."What do you think will happen when the world discovers a reality like this one? We live in a world of mixed races. A time where people's hearts are darkened with desire to do evil. If they find out that the multiverse is real then that will lead to many acts of madness,"Andy jerked immediately after Thomas’s words. "You are a very stra
