They were in the monitoring room. However, it looked completely different from what it looks like in our world. From the common aspects, there were chairs and in front of them objects used to monitor the building, here the common aspects with our world end. The "monitors" are actually circular mirrors the size of, perhaps, dinner plates. They projected an image of their smaller counterparts, scattered throughout the building. One large mirror was connected to one small mirror, and since the building they were monitoring was large, they also needed many small mirrors. Consequently, the whole room was filled to the brim with mirrors. There was also a desk in this room with small round devices on it. They were communication mirrors that served as telephones in this world. They opened like hand mirrors. Each was named by a different name leading to different people, presumably selected guards.

On the floor lay the security responsible for relaying information from what they saw. Some of them were holding communication mirrors, trying to call for help, but apparently they didn't make it in time.

The girl and the boy looked at the images projected on the mirrors to get an idea of ​​the situation.

Girl - Do you see this? I don't see any enemies lying down, only the workers here.

Boy - Look at this.

He pointed to one of the mirrors.

Boy - She doesn't look like she works here.

Girl - Uhm. Plus, she looks younger than us.

In one of the mirrors they spotted Feli running down the hall looking for Fi.

Girl - But look, there are guards around the corner. If no one helps her, she will die soon.

Girl, Boy - !!!

They both fell silent in surprise. The girl they were watching and thought her end was near escaped a surprise attack and took out the two guards lurking for her.

Girl - I don't believe it. The untouched are unable to do such things. She's definitely not with us, I've never seen her in our base.

Boy - And why would they send us any reinforcements?

Girl - It doesn't make sense, but she's definitely stronger than the untouched.... Could be kamikazes, but I don't see why they should be here.

Boy - I doubt it either. Only one option left

Girl - Yes, she must be from this city, and she somehow missed the injections. Maybe there are even more such people... We should inform Vilar about it.

Boy - Yhm.

*********************************

Something was wrong. It was as obvious as the sun, although in this world the sun is not so obvious, so I should use another word. Either way, this man knew full well that the place he wanted to get to was in a state of emergency.

The man was hiding behind one of the buildings, watching the situation that took place behind the gate. He was looking at the column that our three heroes had recently entered. The entrance through which Fi, Feli and Trix had entered, was now besieged by guards.

And from the inside of the door, even more of them began to come out. They were the guards and employees who were in the building.

Guard - Should we call the firefighters?

Employee - No way! Do you want them to discover us? We have a fire extinguisher, someone must be putting out the fire already.

??? - [Fire? What happened there? Did the three that Coin told me about really go in there?]

Due to the chaos that was there, no one even thought about guarding the area around the building, so no one noticed the hiding person.

??? - [But how do I get inside?]

The gate was high and it was impossible to jump over it.

??? - I don't think I have a choice.

He ran to the gate, pulled out a pistol and punched the keyhole, thus opening the passage for himself. After that, everyone present there, and there were at least a dozen of them, turned their attention to him.

Employee - It's a guard!

One called out after he recognized the uniform. The man was covered in red scales and wore a uniform that everyone recognized.

City Guard - Everybody stay still, from now on this place will be under guard control and if you said anything about a fire then call the firemen!

Fighting random intruders is one thing, but fighting a guard is another. The consequences of this could be unpleasant.

Employee - What does the boss say?

Guard - I can't contact him.

One of the bodyguards was carrying what could be mistakenly described as a small box mirror. It was really a communicator that serves as a telephone in this world.

Guard - If he called reinforcements, we can't hide it anyway. Call the firefighters.

The employees present there listened to what the city guard said. And while they were carrying out the command, the man entered the building.

*********************************

Everyone started coughing. It was the same type of bomb she had used in this building recently. This poisonous gas was by no means lethal, but it caused a burning sensation in the throat and nose, and coughing. It stopped all the guards who were guarding Asil's room from moving.

This moment was used, and Trix took down everyone without much trouble. With a victorious step she entered the room where her object of revenge was located.

Trix - This is my first taste of revenge, and I must say I'm having a blast.

Asil - Cough, cough..

Even though the poison had diluted quite a bit, its effects still lingered

Asil - I can't believe you decided to take revenge on me. Those few ter meant so much to you? Cough.

Trix - It's not about money, it's about ... - she pondered - honor? No, I have no such thing as honor, you just pissed me off, that's all.

She dismissed the word "honor" with a wave of her hand.

A youth with green leaves instead of hair and elven ears was sitting on a chair at the end of the room. Trix took a few steps forward while stretching her wrists and thinking about what she would do as revenge. Until suddenly,

One of the guards jumped out at her from behind. He hid behind the door and somehow managed to avoid the poison.

Startled, Trix avoided her opponent's arms, thus escaping from his grip. And then she saw something that was a big problem for her. Outside the door, another group of guards gathered in front of the room. They must have stayed behind to set an ambush. There weren't too many of them, because there were five of them, but in this room she had neither escape route nor place to hide. They couldn't shoot at her without accidentally hitting the boss's son, but that didn't mean the fight would be easy for her.

The bodyguard she missed tried to grab her and pin her down again, and the rest joined in. Although she was physically stronger than them, their numbers caused problems. If it had been Fi, or maybe even Feli, they would have dealt with the problem quickly, but Trix was the weakest of the three in a fistfight.

She kicked one, pinned the other against the wall, seemed to be winning, until Asil got up from the chair and pointed his gun at her. He didn't care about his employees the way they cared about him, so he had no qualms about pulling the trigger. Fortunately, Trix noticed it in time and dodged the bullet. Unfortunately, at the same time she was kicked in the legs, lost her balance and fell to the floor, breaking one of the test tubes she had taken from Feli. She struggled kicking those who tried to grab her, but after a while all four of her limbs were caught and she found it difficult to move.

Trix - Damn! Let go!

She couldn't get out of their hands.

Asil - Ha ha ha! You see! And who's in charge now!?

Asil approached the immobilized girl. He had a crooked smile, as befits an evil enemy. He looked down at her with superiority.

Asil - Now what are you going to do with this whole "revenge plan"?!! You failed! Well done for getting this far though.

Trix - Eh... I could have told Feli to stay... but at least she gave me something else.

Asil - What are you muttering there?

Trix - See the liquid that's on the floor?

Asil - What about it?

He didn't know what the girl was getting at.

Trix - It's a potion, and I have another similar one in my hand.

They all looked at her hand and confirmed it. They knew from that moment that something bad was about to happen.

Trix - What do you think will happen if these two potions come together?

This sentence was a sign for everyone to run away. As soon as Asil felt threatened, he quickly stepped back against the wall.

Trix - Bye, bye, maybe I'll see you in the afterlife.

It was the second and last sign after which everyone quickly released her body and saved their lives, the two who were holding her legs ran out of the room through the door. Those holding her hands were closer to the other end of the wall where Asil was.

Trix immediately, after saying the last sentence, crushed the test tube in her hands, causing the contents to spill onto the floor, mixing with the potion that had spilled there earlier and,

and nothing happened.

Trix - It's a bit of a pity, but it's good that I survived.

She said quickly getting to her feet.

Asil - What? It was a bluff! Catch her!

Trix - Hihi. This time the threat is real.

She pulled another bomb out of her bag.

Trix - This one isn't smoky, nor does it have any poisonous gas in it. It's real. Boom!

With those words, she threw it towards Asil and the other two guards. Everyone immediately fell to the ground, covering their heads, and the bomb exploded as soon as it hit the ground.

*********************************

Fi couldn't move. If he did, Makio's head might have been riddled with holes from the guy standing next to her.

There were four more bodyguards in the room, although it would be more accurate to say "gorillas", not because they looked like that, but because they were big men who were full of strength. They all had guns pointed at the boy. They had quite a lot of time to prepare, after all, this whole wall-breaking thing took long enough for anyone to get bored, let alone prepare. You can even sympathize with Makio, who all this time had to stand with a gun aimed at her head.

Other than that, the office looked like an office. The furniture looked expensive and well made. The room was quite spacious. A massive desk stood near the back wall, with an expensive red armchair behind the desk. There were two comfortable looking chairs in front of the desk. Between these chairs and the door were two couches with a low table between them. Everything here was tidy and elegant.

Boss - You came here for that girl, didn't you? Who you are!?

Fi - I'm Fi.

He was silent for a moment after hearing this unexpectedly short answer.

Boss - .....So "Fi" what do you want?

Fi - .....Um...Well.....you said it yourself? I'm here for Kebamakio.

The boss made a slightly embarrassed face on his own account. But soon that expression faded and turned serious again.

Boss - .....I didn't expect three kids to do me so much damage, so to avoid more, how about a deal?

Fi - Deal?

Boss - Yes. I'll let your friend go, alive and unharmed, provided you stay where you are and take the bullet yourself. A refusal will mean that your friend will be killed immediately. What do you think?

In short, either he or Makio dies. The boy had no choice. Any move will make Makio die. He couldn't do anything but stand still.

Fi - So you'll just shoot me and then release Kebamakio?

Boss - Exactly.

Fi - I agree.

Boss - Heh, you're brave, you're not afraid of death. I'd love to see that attitude change to a cowardly one the moment before pulling the trigger. You,

He nodded to one of the gorillas.

Maki - No! Fi, don't listen! Save yourself!

Boss - Keep quiet if you don't want the deal broken!

His menacing voice shut her mouth. She didn't have the courage to object, but she was very worried about Fi and wished nothing would happen to him.

The indicated tall man came closer and aimed straight at the boy's head.

Gorilla - Last Words.

Fi - But these won't be my last words.

He replied simply, as if he didn't care at all.

Gorilla - ...As you wish.

He pulled the trigger and, thanks to the potions' power, a ball of water shot out at Fi with incredible speed.

The boy did not try to avoid it, he stood straight and motionless as he had been told. But, the part of the face where the drop was going turned black. Just like his hands before, now part of his face was wearing this strong armor.

And all this happened in the blink of an eye, so that no one present was able to see the black armor. They only saw the result.

The boy stood as he stood. Only a drop of water fell from his cheek to the ground.

Boss - What happened!? You can't aim at someone who's a meter away from you!?

Gorilla - No! I shot him, for sure!

Boss - If so, why is he still alive!? Shoot!

The man did as he was ordered. He pulled the trigger again, and a ball of water shot out of the pistol.

But the result was exactly the same. The boy was still standing and a drop of water fell from his cheek.

Fi - Hey! There was only supposed to be one! Now release the Kebamakio!

Boss - What!? No way!

Fi - How is that no way? You said if you shot a bullet at me you'd let her go, so let her go!

Boss - You were supposed to die!

Fi - Not at all! You said-

He stopped suddenly as the whole room shook.

And that's not all, apart from the quake, a crack appeared on the floor. It ran across the room, connecting to other cracks that had formed at the same time. The sound that was made as a result of their creation was extremely disturbing. And although everyone knew something was wrong, almost no one in the room had time to react. The floor immediately cracked and collapsed. They all fell down as they stood, feeling only fear. I mean, everyone was scared, even the "gorillas" with one exception, which was Fi, of course. The boy didn't feel any threat due to the collapsing floor and as soon as everyone turned their attention away from him, he jumped towards Makio trying to save her from the boss.
