79 In the Rocke of the Sea

The guards began to run towards us, but then Nikki and Tisiah came out of nowhere and started blasting at them. “We need to stay strong!” Nikki shouted.

September quickly rushed to the frontline in combat range, as Malachi got up. I stayed in the back, picking off agents that were trying to flank us. But there were just too many of them that were rushing towards us.

“I need help over here!” I shouted, as I was struggling to keep up.

“On it!” September said as she ran towards me, taking down agents left and right.

It was probably best for me to use my Perk now.

I charged it up, my arms glowing red and my fist vibrating. I punched the ground, creating a shockwave that took out a good chunk of the agents. I heard Rocke shout in anger, as he began to shoot bolts at us again.

“Watch out!” Nikki shouted as she pushed me out of the way of a bolt. It hit September instead, and she was sent flying backward.

“September!” I shouted, looking at her. She didn’t appear to be that affected, but it was obvious that the pain stung. I glared at him with fury in my eyes as I saw his laugh. I was going to make him pay.

I charged up my Perk again, this time running full speed at Rocke. He tried to dodge, but I followed his evading ways and punched him in the stomach. He gasped for air as he flew backward, hitting a few agents in the process. I landed and charged up again.

.....

No one was hurting my friends, no more.

He chuckled as he got up. “Oh, you poor soul. Easily affected by someone else’s pain.”

“Shut it!” I shouted as I punched him again, sending him flying into a wall. He hit hard and stayed down this time, barely able to even move.

“You’re so affected you don’t even know your own mistake,” he chuckled. “I can adapt powers, and I have just used yours.”

I stopped frozen cold in my tracks. He couldn’t have...there’s no way.

“That’s right, boy. I now have your power,” he said. “Tricked ya once again!” He then got up and started to run, as the agents followed. “Let’s go!” Nikki shouted.

We all ran away the opposite direction, as I tried to process what just happened. Rocke...adapted my power. This could be bad. Very bad. He did it before when fighting for the Armonk, and now he did it again.

I looked back, seeing him stomp the floor, making the ground shake. “He’s coming!” I shouted. “We need to hurry!”

We all ran as fast as we could, but Rocke was darting after us, using my power. He was faster, stronger, and now had an extra power to use against us. This wasn’t going to be easy...at all. “This way!” Tisiah shouted as we barged through a door outside.

I looked down, seeing the crashing waves below. “Are you kidding me?” I asked, as I looked back and saw Rocke coming towards us. He was about to use my Perk, and it wasn’t gonna end well. “No need to run boy!” he shouted.

I looked back at Tisiah, who seemed to know exactly what I was thinking. “Everyone, jump!” Tisiah shouted, as he jumped off the edge.

Everyone else followed, and I was the last one. I took a deep breath and leaped off, as I felt the ground on the boat shake as I jumped. I felt the wind speed against my body as I fell, and then I saw it. The water getting closer and closer.

I gritted my teeth, as I was about to hit the surface. Then the water hit, and everything went blank.

***

But then I felt my eyes click open, and cold hands holding my body. We seemed to be on a boat, but I think I already know who made it. I looked up, seeing it was Malachi and his team.

“He’s awake,” Malachi said, as he put me down. I looked over, seeing Nikki, September, and the rest of them.

“Oh, thank goodness,” September said, as she ran over and hugged me. “I thought we lost you there for a bit.”

“What happened?” I asked as I looked around, seeing the empty ocean. The sky was bright blue and the sun shined brightly and I had no idea where we were.

“We’ll explain later,” Malachi said, as he looked at me. “But a lot of things happened to make things shorter.” I nodded, as I got up.

Sorry this was short, because a lot of things happened, so think of this preview as the continuation.

Preview:

“We’ll go over the plan on the way,” Tisiah said, as he walked over to us. The boat was quite large, almost as big as a ship, but more like a kayak. “We need to follow that ship, and see where they’re heading.”

We turned to see that TSA cruise-looking ship, still in the distance. It was a good thing we had this boat, or else we’d be stuck here in the water forever.

“Alright, let’s get paddling,” I said when they all of a sudden began to laugh. “What makes you think I made something that would require hard work?” Nikki chuckled, as she walked over to the controls.

“This thing is high-tech,” she said, as she pressed a button. The boat then sped away, almost making me fall. The boat I tell you was fast, and I mean like really fast. “Hang on!” Nikki shouted as we all grabbed onto something.

I looked forward, seeing the ship getting slowly bigger, as we were catching up to it. “We’re almost there,” September said, as she looked through a pair of binoculars.

“We should stop right-”

She suddenly stopped as confusion folded onto our faces. “Guys, I see a very tall building, and I mean a tall building.”

We all looked through the binoculars, and she was right. In the distance was a building that reached the clouds. But the three letters on it scared me to death. “TSA,” I muttered, as we all looked at each other with a worried look.

“What is the TSA doing with a building that big?” Nikki asked. “I mean even ours isn’t that big.” “Because this building holds cargo, ours is an academy,” September said, as she looked at the building.

“Cargo?” I asked, as I looked at her. “What kind of cargo?”

“Anything that the TSA stole, which the Cybertron may be in there,” Tisiah said, as he looked at the building. “That’s why we need to get on that ship, so we can get inside.”

“So why did we jump out in the first place?” I asked.

“Because Rocke was going to blast us to bits,” Nikki said, as she looked at me. “Good thing we have this boat.”

“We need to get on that ship though so we could check through,” Tisiah said. “Make us a ladder real quick Nikki.” She nodded, as she went to the back of the boat, used her wand, and created a long ladder.

“Isn’t that too risky?” September asked as she looked at Tisiah. “What if it falls or breaks while we’re midair?”

“It’ll be fine,” he said, as he looked at her. “I trust Nikki with my life.” He then reached out his hand as Nikki passed the ladder to him. “Ooh, this is heavy,” he grunted, as he struggled to hold it.

“Well hurry up!” Nikki said as she looked at him. “They’re getting away!”

He then ran towards the side of the boat, and with a mighty heave, threw the ladder onto the ship. We all watched as he climbed up first, then September went after. “I don’t like how this feels,” Nikki said, as she looked at me.

“Yeah, me too,” I muttered, as we both began to climb up.

Malachi was the last, which he didn’t seem too pleased about. But we all made it on the ship without any incident. “That was close,” Nikki said, as she looked at us.

We threw the ladder down, and Nikki used her wand to make it disappear. “We should split up,” Tisiah said, as he looked at us. “So they don’t replace all of us at once.”

“Who said we were going inside?” September said, as she looked at him. “I mean that’s way too dangerous.”

“Look, we don’t have a choice,” he said. “Guards will be coming out soon to do their rounds, and if they see us, we’re dead.”

“He’s right,” Nikki said, as she looked at us. “I can make some disguises for us. Could last for 30 minutes or so.”

“That should be enough time,” Tisiah said, as he looked at her. “Now let’s go before it’s too late.” But then all of a sudden, the boat stopped.

What happened?

We turned around, seeing a huge dock. And on that dock were hundreds of people, all in uniform. “Oh no,” Nikki said, as she looked at them. “It seems we’re already here.”

We all looked at each other with worried looks, not knowing what to do. Then Tisiah stepped forward. “We need those disguises now,” he said, as he looked at Nikki.

She nodded, as she went to work. A few seconds later, we were all in uniforms. I never seemed to think about how useful Nikki’s majoring power is until now.

But we didn’t have time to waste, as the guards were coming our way. “Quick, act natural,” Tisiah ordered, as he took the lead. We all nodded, following behind him as we acted as if we belonged there.

The guards gave us a quick look and then turned back as we walked towards the stairs off the boat. “So far so good,” Nikki whispered, as we all nodded.

But then we heard shouting from behind us. We turned around to see that it was an argument between two guards. One of them was pointing at us, and the other one was shaking his head.

“Uh oh,” Nikki said, “I hope they’re not talking about us.”
