78 Prison at Sea

“You got any water?” Tisiah asked. I shook my head, and he looked around the room until he found a cup. He then went over to one of the computers and unplugged it, before carrying it over to the window.

The guards were still pointing their guns at us, and I could see the confusion in their eyes. They were probably wondering what in the world Tisiah was doing.

“What are you doing?” I asked him, as he placed the computer on windows.

“Electrifying the sky,” he said, as he took the cup of water and poured it over the computer. Then he plugged it back in, and sparks began to fly.

The guards shouted in alarm as they were hit by the sparks, and they began to fall to the ground. I then rushed over to help Tisiah, and we unplugged the computer.

“Come on,” he said, as he grabbed my wrist and we started running out of the room. It was only a matter of time before more guards began chasing us, and we needed to put as much distance between us and them as possible.

We ran through the halls, taking turns and going up different stairs. “We should probably find a map of where to go you know, probably is the best idea,” I said.

“From who?” Tisiah asked.

“Maybe one of the guards?” I suggested, and he nodded. “Okay, good idea.”

.....

We then split up, with Tisiah going to the right and me to the left. But the second I did, I saw a guard speeding towards me, tackling me to the ground.

Tisiah turned around, seeing me in my state. I grunted as my breath began to waiver. The guard then got off of me and grabbed my wrists, dragging me to my feet.

“Let’s go,” he said, but then Tisiah ran up and punched him in the face. The guard fell to the ground, and I took the opportunity to run.

But then the guard got back up and grabbed Tisiah, holding him in a chokehold. “Let him go!” I shouted, but the guard just tightened harder. “You think you’re so smart, don’t you?”

The guard then slammed Tisiah against the wall, and I could see the pain in his eyes.

I had enough.

I had to do something.

I couldn’t just stand there and watch as Tisiah was hurt.

So I charged up my perk and punched the guard in the face with all my strength. He flew across the hall and hit the wall, unconscious.

Tisiah coughed, trying to catch his breath as I ran to him. “Are you okay?” I asked, and he nodded.

“Yeah, I’m fine,” he said. “Check if he has a map.”

I rummaged through the guard’s pockets until I found a map of the ship. “Here,” I said, as I handed it to him. “Perfect,” he said, getting up. “Let’s find the prison. We may see the rest there.”

We started running in that direction, but we were quickly stopped by a loud alarm. “What’s going on?” I asked.

“That’s the alarm for an intruder,” Tisiah said. “Somebody’s here.”

Somebody’s here? Who could it be? And why are they here?

We’ll have to find out soon because it wasn’t gonna make things any easier. “Come on,” he said, and we started running again.

We arrived at the prison to find it in chaos. There were guards everywhere, running around and shouting. TSA agents ran through the halls, and I could hear the sound of guns being fired.

“What’s going on?” I asked, but Tisiah just shook his head.

“No need to figure out,” he said. “Let’s just find the rest and get them out of here.”

He then started running, and I followed close behind him. It was hard to keep up with him while also trying to dodge the guards, who seemed too busy to be seeing us.

We moved over to the right section of the prison, and I could see the rest of our team. They were all in cells, and it looked like they were trying to break out.

“September!” I shouted as she looked at me. “What are you doing here?”

“Trying to get out,” she said, as she hit the bars with her hand. “Oh, Tisiah found you.”

“You knew this already?” I asked.

“He escaped and saw us, and we told him to find you first and he did,” September said.

“And now we need to find a way out,” Tisiah said. “The exit’s this way.”

Tisiah opened the door, letting Mari, Rin, Matt, Malachi, and September out. “Okay, let’s move!” Malachi shouted. “I want to leave this sea-sicken place, it’s driving me crazy.”

We all started running, following Tisiah as he led the way. But then I saw somebody that I never expected to see, rushing towards us.

We all stopped in shock, seeing Nikki in front of us. “Nikki?” Mari muttered. “What are you doing here?”

“I’m here to help,” she said, as she ran next to us. “I heard about what happened on the news. I needed to do something.”

“And you just decided to come here?” I asked. “You could’ve been killed.”

“I know,” she said. “Anyways, I’m getting Mr. Drails to get Matt, Mari, and Rin home. We five can take care of this.”

“What?” Mari said. “No, we’re not leaving you guys.”

“It’s probably for the best,” September said. “You guys can’t help us here, and we don’t want you to get hurt.”

“But–” Mari started to mumble. Then I came over, giving her a pat on the back. She seemed super emotional about it, and I felt really bad.

“It’ll be fine,” I said, trying to assure her. “You guys just need to focus on getting home.”

“And we’ll take care of the rest,” Nikki said. “I promise.”

Mari sighed but nodded. Nikki got her radio and began talking into it, telling Mr. Drails our location. Instantly a portal opened up, sucking Matt, Mari, and Rin. “Alright, you can close now,” Nikki said. “We need to find the Cybertron.”

She closed the radio and sighed, as the portal closed. “This is going to be harder than I thought.”

“Tell me about it,” Malachi chuckled. “But it’s sure gonna be fun.”

“Okay, we need to find the Cybertron, if it’s even here,” September said. Then I remembered what Rocke said: Find my friends, and I find the Cybertron.

“Is the Cybertron inside of the prison?” I asked.

“What?” Tisiah said as he turned to me. “No, it’s not in the prison.”

I sighed. Rocke lied to me once again. I shouldn’t be surprised, but I am.

“Then where is it?”

“I don’t know,” Tisiah said. “We need to escape this place and follow this ship.” Nikki nodded, as she started to run again. Tisiah and September followed close behind her, and Malachi and I brought up the rear.

“Yeah, one thing, who was the intruder?” I asked. Nikki responded, “Me.”

“What?” I said in shock.

As we ran, I could hear the sound of sirens getting closer and closer. “We need to hurry,” Nikki said, but then we were surrounded by TSA agents, armed and ready to shoot.

“Halt!” One of them shouted. “You are all under arrest.”

“Who do they think they are?” Malachi muttered.

“Forget it, let’s just go,” Nikki said, as she turned and started to run in the other direction. But then, more agents showed up on that spot.

“That leaves us to fight,” Malachi said. “Here comes nothing.”

Then the agents took out their wands, charging at us at full speed. “I’ll take the left, you take the right,” Nikki said.

“Got it!” September said, as she ran to the right. Nikki ran to the left and I followed Malachi.

We started blasting at the agents, taking them down one by one. But there were just too many of them. “Use your Perk!” Malachi yelled. I nodded, as my arms began glowing red and my eyes turned white.

Then I started running at full speed, dodging everything that was thrown at me. I leaped into the air and did a flip, blasting two agents in midair. As I landed, I punched an agent so hard that he flew into a wall and was knocked unconscious.

I looked around, seeing that Malachi seemed impressed...and scared.

“Wow...” he mumbled. “You’re...scary when you do that.”

I chuckled and turned back to the agents. But then I heard a loud bang echo in the prison. “Young boy, I know you’re here.”

Rocke.

“Oh, no run!” I shouted, but then Rocke appeared, shooting a bolt at us. “Duck!” September shouted, as she tackled me to the ground. The bolt hit near Malachi and he was sent flying into a wall.

September and I quickly got up, seeing the smirk on his face. More guards began to pile up behind him, ready to attack. “Well, things just got worse,” I sighed. Rocke smirked, “Get those fiends.”
