The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and seventy: From enemies to ally
The question came so unexpectedly that even Andy was shocked. He couldn’t get himself to figure out what Thomas was trying to do.“Even if you hate me this much, why will you put it on my family? Think about my little sister, Ashley is too young for these kinds of things…”“I don’t hate you, Thomas. Why on earth will I do that?” Dorian said.“Then what is this for?” Thomas asked.“I would have loved to help you but the truth is that I am a teenager and I am scared,” Dorian said as Thomas and Andy looked at him in uncertainty.“You are dealing with scientists. What if they find out through their advanced technology that I helped you to find them,” Dorian explained further then looked at Andy. “Does Andy even know the amount of risk he is taking? If I help you with this then when these people finds out they won’t come for your family alone, they will also come for my family,” Now it all made sense to Thomas. This was not about hatred or competition rather it was all about fear.“I get h

“Do you have it?” Xander said to Barthel.“Yes,” Barthel replied. He brought out a little spherical shaped hardware as he handed it over to Xander. When Thomas saw the hardware he suspected that it was the key he was asked to find so from that moment he began to think of ways to get the hardware from them.He recorded their conversation on his android phone and when he realized that they were about to leave he snuck out of the cabin, retracing his steps back to Andy.“Did you get anything?” Andy asked as soon as Thomas entered the car.“Yes, I did. I will explain everything to you later on but for now there has been a change of plan,” Thomas replied.“This was our plan, we never had another plan,” Andy told him and immediately after his comment Thomas glanced at him.“I just realized that I know more about this than I think. Please don’t ask me how, all you have to do is be on the same page with me,” Thomas replied.“Okay, so what will you have me do?”“Barthel is working for my father
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and seventy two: The intension
Thomas knew what was at stake. His family and the world will be destroyed if he doesn’t leave quickly. His eyes were filled with regret. He should not have come here in the first place.‘I should have avoided this place like a plague,’ he thought to himself.“Thomas, what are your plans? How are we going to leave this place?” Andy asked but without giving him a response Thomas strolled to a corner gently sitting on the floor.“Thomas,” Andy called one more time.“There is nothing we can do, it’s over, they win,” he answered weakly with his face bowed to the floor. Andy tried to get Thomas back on his feet but no matter how many reasons he gave, Thomas wasn’t paying attention. He could not get his mind off the problems that were set before him. He has only twenty four hours to stop the apocalypse and save his family. “Fine, since you are determined to give up, I guess we'll just sit here until he hears the cries of disaster,” Andy said. He hoped Thomas would reconsider but when there
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and seventy three: Frustration
When Xander saw the pain written in Thomas’s eyes he opened up but this time he explained in a serious face. “Like I said earlier, your father was part of us. We made the plans together but when the work was in progress we realized that his daughter being your sister has a special blood. Her blood was so rare that it was the only blood that could unlock a door to my great army. When your father found out about this he was unwilling to make the sacrifices so we decided to engage forcefully…”Thomas was filled with rage as he watched Xander speak without any emotion or piety. How can someone be so cruel? Thomas wondered. He tried as much as possible to be in his best behaviour in order not to lose his temper.“Right now your sister is with us and your parents are inside an underground in the desert. When I am done with you, I’ll have to leave to our site. I must wait there until the moon comes up,” he hesitated then checked the time. “We will commence the experiment as soon as it strikes

Thomas nodded in agreement and Andy moved back to the door. Sticking the penknife into the keyhole he continued his attempt to open the door.It took about two minutes before Andy successfully unlocked the door and they both hastened out of the room."How much time do we have left?" Andy asked.Thomas checked and looked forward again he said. "Two hours and thirty minutes,"When they arrived at the gate outside the house they realized that it was locked. It was a dead end."What do we do now? and please don't tell me that you are rooting on me to unlock the gate too," Andy said to Thomas who wagged his head slightly.Thomas looked around and at the fence towards his left. "We will have to go over the fence," He suggested.Andy examined the fence, the sight of its height scared him. He shook his head in disagreement and when he turned to express his disapproval to Thomas he saw him on a run back into the building."Thomas," He called in a whisper then ran after him.When Thomas walked i

Thomas was doomed. Pressure ran through his veins like the flow of an electric current. All hope was lost but still dangling in the strange feeling of regret he felt a soft tap on his shoulder. He turned quickly, startled that it must have been one of the security men only to realize that it was Andy."What are you doing? Come!" Andy said in a whisper."I was wrong. I didn't think this through," Thomas replied when Andy was about to leave and hearing him Andy stopped."I know you are worried about the key to the helicopters. I have one so follow me now," Andy replied, hearing that Thomas followed him immediately.They entered the helicopter as they both took a seat on the pilot chairs. "Are you ready for this," Thomas said to Andy immediately after putting on his helmet."I just hope you know what you are doing," Andy replied."Fair enough," Thomas responded. "From the video games I suppose these should be the launch button, don't you think so?" He asked with his hand near one of the

"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

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

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

Chapter one hundred and eighty one: Mistrust and the Deadly triangle
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
