The whole children and teachers of the orphanage had set foot for the celebration of the Great Moon Festival, they are on the way to the Huat Ville.
"When is Rebecca coming back to us.....I can't even call her at all. Don't worry Tatha, she might be too busy bailing that man out....." Tammy was talking to her in her car.
Tatha knew it was far more complicated, so she begin analyzing her findings. Firstly, Daniel was searching for something all this time. It seems very dangerous due to his attitude toward trying to keep them safe. Second, he is caught by the police for exploring the sewers. But he only does normal trespassing and even seemed to have experienced a battle in there, and what is it that is so important inside the sewers that made the policemen be so strict? Cause that area is clearly a place where people always pass by every day, no one even cares about it. But the officers were usually loitering around the city in a very chill mood all the time, and they suddenly became so panicky. Finally, Rebecca should've been returning with him for this moment in time. How can a normal person like that have to be kept for so long when the helper for bailing arrived so early? The procedure should've been easier and quicker, but now even Rebecca was gone for so long.
There is only one conclusion:
The local police authorities are responsible for everything that happens till this time. Something in the sewers is extremely dangerous, especially since the sewer system is all around the city. Whatever it is, they are targeting the Great Moon Festival tonight. Cause the whole citizens gathered at Huat Ville for celebration and socializing, making the festival lively and bustling.
Tatha fears the things that might happen. She became vigilant and used body movements to tell Tammy to keep an eye on everyone when they are at the festival. Tammy felt weird, but she too have to take good care of the children so she kept her words in mind. Whatever is going to come, Tatha will make sure that she can act in time.
When they are at the festival, the other teachers are already leading the children to the early phase of the fair. Tatha is right beside Tammy, joining them in a more private way. Kylian and his boys were with the fleet as well, he saw Tatha far away. "We need a plan, I want to give Micheals something she would never see it coming." He still never learn his lessons and wanted to revenge on her. So he orders the boys to create a diversion, to separate Tammy and Tatha.
"DOK!!!" Gary threw a stone at Tammy, angering her. "You boys are naughty again!!! Get over here!" She didn't realize that she is distracted, leaving Tatha alone. "Hello there, Micheals. I'm going to get you....." Kylian slowly approaches her. Tatha immediately ran off in instincts, while he chases for her. Little did they all know, one of the children of the orphanage was kidnapped by some mysterious people wearing robes that make them look like cultists, with no one noticing her unable to call for help.
Meanwhile, in the cell.....
"You really can't wake up, do you?! Wake up!!!" Rebecca tries to wake Daniel up inside the cell they were imprisoned in together. She can't wake him up at all, he is a sleeping charming. "What are we going to do.....you can't wake up and I can't escape! I need to go back to the kids, they must be very worried." She sat beside Daniel, wishing for help.
"Don't worry, everything is going to be fine....." A voice came by.
"No, it's just the kids.....wait WHAT?!" Rebecca was shocked when she realized that Daniel was talking to her just now. She slowly approaches him, looking at him still sleeping. She stares at him for a very very long time. Suddenly.....
"Hello!" He opened his eyes and greet her.
"WAH!!! Daniel!!!" She slapped his shoulder.
"Sorry, look I mean it."
"You.....Oh! I don't know how can I say about your jokes!"
"It's alright for now, I'm here to turn the tables. It's just that I need some more help, so that's why I want you to get in here with me."
"What do you mean.....?" She is confused about what's going on.
"Okay, first.....Let's get out of here. Start from the cell gate!" He stands up and walks towards the gate.
"No wait! We don't have the key to do that! Plus how can you get out when you seem unarmed? It is impossible!"
"Rebecca, I thought you are better at this since you're a child teacher. Just need a little bit of imagination....." He then lay his hand on the gate, unlocking it in just an instant. He then pushes it open. "After you, Rebecca." He did a gentlemanly move. Rebecca walks outside the cell, she is still processing her mind when seeing him unlock the gate. "H-How did you.....do that.....?" She asked him for an explanation. "It's easy, like I said, imagination! Why just use the pen? When I have gloves that also possess some functions?" He smiles happily like some kid who is satisfied.
"You know you are really childish, Daniel." They were talking while moving.
"Welp, being childish isn't wrong most of the time. Imagination is the wisdom that the Lord had gifted for me, of course I'm happy with what I have. Sometimes thinking as a child does helps in different types of situations like what we are doing now."
"What are you planning exactly? We are in a bad situation right now, we can't just go out there!"
"I let them take me in, to allow me to infiltrate with ease. Isn't that great? I got my sleep and I'm still keeping in touch with my plans! Oh, absolutely amazing!"
"So that's what you've been doing all the time?! Oh, Lord Jehvin.....help me....."
"As I said, don't worry. We are going to help Tatha now, she is already observing the festival and everything happens till now. The policemen are responsible for the festival security tonight, which means they already got most of the citizens right where they want. But it's one thing that bothers me the most.....Why are they doing this? Especially welcoming some unknown cultists into their account....."
"Freeze! You are breaking out of your prison and violating the law!" It's the chief again, he and a few of his officers point their guns at the two. "Please! We are innocent! We won't do anything! You know that, Officer!" Rebecca was panicked. "No, they are not going to listen to you. They are following the orders to get rid of us." Daniel explained to her. "What?! No! You cannot do this!" She begged them to turn back their ideas. "I'm sorry, it is for the greater good!" He is ready to fire his gun with the others. Rebecca was helpless, but she saw Daniel give her a wink. She stopped being afraid and believed he got a trick on his sleeves. "Then go ahead then.....we have nowhere to go after all....." She acted to them.
"BANG! BANG! BANG!" They fired their weapon, but they all stopped by a shield. They begin panicking, don't know what happened. They fire at them again, and it still ends up the same.
"Plasma Shield! Oh Yes! You should really check it nicely next time! But too bad, I won't tell you how!" He then extends his shield, knocking back and taking them out of consciousness.
"Phew.....How many tools did you get actually, Daniel?"
"More of course, I am just a mortal man. I need a lot of tools to help me with this crazy universe we're in. Come on, I need to get them back at the items room. They came to the items room, and he then proceeds to unlock some of the lockers. "We have to get back to the kids, the people are also in danger as well!" Rebecca told him.
"Aha! There you are! Macro pen! Oh some of my own stuff, oh!"
"Are you listening, Daniel?"
"Yes, but we have far more important things to do. Come on wear this!" He helped her to wear a kevlar for protection. "What, why? What are we going to do?" She is confused. "You'll see, let's go! I don't want those guys to act faster than we did!" They then arrived at another room that contains Bradley. She is floating without consciousness inside the container.
"Ahem! Wakey, wakey." He called.
"Ahahaha, how is my acting? Master!" She wakes up like it was nothing. "Excellent, now come with us. I think I know where we're going next!" He then led them to a secret door of the station, entering into a place that shouldn't exist.
In the meantime.....
Kylian is still chasing Tatha. He is so desperate to revenge, that he didn't realize that two more cultists were following them. He finally forced her to a dead end, slowly approaching her. "Oh, I couldn't say how much I want to tear that hat again! Even leave some sores on that face!" He forced her onto the wall of the dead end, making sure that she can't escape.
"Don't go anywhere....."
Tatha closed her eyes, helplessly accepting her fate.
"UGH!!! L-LET ME GO!!!"
She heard Kylian screaming. She opened her eyes and was shocked. The cultists that follow them appeared right before them, they were grabbing Kylian. "WHO ARE YOU?! LET ME GO!!!" Kylian became afraid, last time it was Daniel who gave him such feelings. He is struggling but he can't, they were too strong for him. "Get the girl! We need more sacrifice!" The other one ordered his friend. He approached Tatha and wanted to lay a hand on her. She is afraid, but she knew she cannot give up as she just did. She saw the barrels of fruits that were used as supplies for the fair merchants, she got a plan. She made eye contact with Kylian, wanting his trust in what she was about to do. Kylian didn't care about anything and agreed with her.
She then slipped through the cultists, leaving them confused and surprised for a while. They saw her running toward the merchants, they want to stop her before she can approach them. But they went right into her trap, she used her advantage and crawl over the hole that was left by the crates, and the cultists couldn't stop in time and touched the fruits which they even pick it up without noticing. She quickly pulled a merchant's cloth. "Oh hello, kid. What can I.....? HEY! What are you trying to do to my fruits?!" The merchant saw them, in weird clothing and looks like trying to steal. "Get them, lads!!! Don't let these thieves get away!" They all begin chasing them in a big group. The cultists were shocked and thought that Tatha had let them know what they are doing, and run back toward their friend who is holding Kylian.
"Why did you guys come back, where is she?!"
"No time to explain! We must go!"
The angry merchants had found them, too late to escape the dead end. They were immediately got beaten up by them, leaving Kylian slowly get out of safety. Tatha saw him being safe as sound, and give him a hug. Kylian was surprised, and so was she. Tatha cannot understand why she just forgives and saves her bully, even feeling happy for his safety with no second thoughts.
"T-Tatha.....Thank you for saving me.....I-I am really sorry for what I did for all these times as well....." He felt embarrassed yet grateful and sorry for what he did to her before. Looks like a real danger situation just made the bully experience the same helpless feeling. Tatha left the thoughts of confusion behind, and only nod in reply.
"Wait! Does that mean everyone is in danger if these guys kept showing up? Please Tatha, you had to tell me what happen?" Kylian asked her, he too was afraid of an upcoming danger. She then led him to the streets of the festival, she points at the policemen all over the fair. "They are all bad guys with the spooky guys just now?! I can get the boys to help us!" He then holds her hand and brings her to go and find the boys.
In the meantime.....
Daniel and Rebecca already arrived at the secret basement, which seems oddly familiar. he knows something is wrong, judging by the air. "Here, wear this! It will protect you from the toxic air of the sewers." He gave her the special mask he too wears before. "What?! Sewers?! How are we going to find something here?" She was terrified.
"There is a chamber, Bradley had scanned and found this part of the sewers that were built under the police station. That is why I go to sleep and let them lock me in, it is the fastest and safest way to get it. Or else, the Vourmons are very dangerous and annoying."
"Okay I know, but can you explain why you need me here? I'm feeling that I don't give any help at all."
"I need your help, I can feel like there are already different children kept as hostages and ready to sacrifice by these cultists. Which I really don't like....."
"What happened.....?
"I just send an innocent child's soul to the 'Paradise'. She is being sacrificed by a cult, in order to summon a few Vourmons to kill someone's father. Think about the orphans, also the children that live with their families in the city. I don't want the same false fate to happen to them, just like that little girl. So were the citizens that live here, I don't want to see them die. That is why I need some more help other than just me and Bradley. I'm just a man, who keeps faith in the Lord. That's why I've met trustable people like you and Tatha. My fellow Disciple needs time to get here, so it is up to me all the time right here until she arrived. Your help in getting the children to safety is important. I really thank you and Tatha, I trust her intelligence is used in the right ways to make sure the festival is safe at most times."
Rebecca finally understands what he meant. Spend so many times even following a mysterious compass in order to stop an upcoming danger to the city. Not only for the children but also for anyone that lives here. Why is this man so eager to give himself to others, when he is just a normal human? He is unlike the superhuman or mutant beings, a myth or a god. Except for the Vourmons he said, he never hurt anyone unless they are out of bounds for too much. He is one man that shows love and kindness all the time.
"Come on, I think we found them....." They arrived at a shrine. Someone is already tied to the chains, ready to be burned. "DIANA!!!!! OH MY GOSH!!!!!" Rebecca immediately ran toward the circle. The girl had fox ears and fluffy orange hair, she is just getting back consciousness. "Oh! Teacher Rebecca! Help me!" She is happy and crying to see someone she knew. "Let me do this, my pen can break the chains." Daniel uses his pen and breaks them easily.
"Teacher!" She is crying really hard. "It's alright, we have come to save you and the others." She hugged and comforts her. "Hello, Diana. You've met me before. It's me, Daniel." He talks to her as well. "I-I know you! Thank you, sir!" She is happy to see him. "Oh, you're not a Peculiar! You have Fantasm! That explains why you're a fox girl with the mark behind your neck. You are going to be special as well one day!" He just saw her traits. "Really? I don't know much about these things....." Rebecca was a stranger to these kinds of stuff.
"You'll know more one day, Rebecca. But the masters of the house had arrived, for now, brace yourselves....." He turns and saw the group of cultists were back, and started to surround them to be ready for anything.
"Hello, I supposed we can't talk about this, isn't it?"
To be continued.....
