Finally, my stomach is full. Thanks to Mateo and Elyzer, they lead us to their hideout without hesitation. Good thing they have a healer, our hero of the day Mike is okay in perfect condition. Mateo wore his jacket, getting ready.
"Ready guys to move? It's kinda dangerous to move in large numbers, we will be easily seen" Mateo said as he stretch his body
"Let's just keep stay low and avoid noises that much"
The others carried the foods and water, the others prepared their things. Mateo went out and started helping carry the things out. I also went out and helped. He doesn't looked like the type of guy to talk with girls out of nowhere.
If girls talk to him, he will be really that active with girls. But when he was forced to, not much.
"Hey Mateo, thanks for helping us out there. Without the two of you, we might gonna die of hunger out there even if Mike defeated that man"
"No problem, we are just looking for survivors as much as possible"
"That's good to hear"
They all come out of the hideout.
"Okay, let's go quietly"
"Where do you think are we and what is the most closest exit?' Elyzer asked Yuri
"I dunno, but I think we are near south. We can escape the road going southern"
"But, we don't have a vehicle, we can't just walk going south. Even if we have, it is going to draw the enemies to us" Oliver replied
"Baguio is a well known city, and something very big is happening here. Of course they will come and look for survivors"
"But where are they now? They should be here right now, finding for us"
"Maybe someone said to them about the powers, which alerts them. Maybe they made evacuate points around the city I am not sure" Mateo replied for Yuri
"Make sense"
We started moving in large group, a mother calmed her baby down. Our shoes scraping on the gravel road, the canned foods and cellophanes sounded as we walk. The buildings are still on fire, stores and shops around us are in a mess.
It was quiet, vehicles were left on the road, some were crushed by big rubbles. The doors of buildings were left open, in the inside is empty and dark. We covered our nose with cloths. I stepped upon a book coming from the book store from my right.
"Ooooh, a book, maybe I can get some to pass the time" Mateo murmured as he looked around at the fallen books on the road
"We did not come out for shopping" the fancy man said
"What, you can't even let me have a book!? I was getting bored there without them!"
Mateo, Elyzer and some others started looking at books in interest. Mateo got himself a romance comic book. Huh? Oh wow, I didn't know he is into romance. And an action one and another fantasy romance. Huh?
You know what, I'll get myself some to read. I mean, it's not stealing in this kinda of situation.
"Oliver, there's a chess board over there. Why won't you go take it? Might gonna help our boredom"
I looked up at the blue clear sky, atleast nature is still in good condition. I closed my eyes, feeling the warm breeze. Everything went quiet all of a sudden, I don't hear their voices and movements. I opened my eyes and looked down.
....
!?
What the-!? Where is everybody!? Where am I!? I am in an unfamiliar place, I am in the middle of a 4 way intersection road. I am still in the city, around are small destroyed buildings, smoking, fire. Cars were left on the road, items from the story fell to the ground,but in a different place.
Where am I!? I am all alone in a sudden. Where did they go!? Or am I the one who disappeared from them? Calm down and take deep breaths, I need to find them.
"What!? A young teenage fucking girl!? Who do you think am I to fight a girl who is younger than me!?" I heard voices from above
I looked up from a building, I saw two young men arguing, they are about in their 21.
"I'm sorry okay, my ability is randomized, I can't control my ability when it comes to teleporting"
Te-teleporting? What teleporting? Is it the reason why I got separated from the group?
-----------------------------------------------------------
I picked up another book from the ground, it was titled "Once it shines, through mortal divines". I opened the book wide and started flapping the pages.
"Mateo, are you sure that's what you want?" Elyzer said
"I dunno, but as long as there is anything to read" I replied
The art style looks so promising, a romance between a guy and a girl in a fantasy world. I can take this one. Okay, let's find more books while they are still free. I closed the comic book and put my hands on the floor.
!?
Huh!? There's no books scattered around the ground. I looked around the ground, there are no books on the ground. I looked to my side, I saw Elyzer has his face on a comic book. I looked around me.
!?
The others are gone, I looked in front of me. The book store is not in front of me. We are on a open road, a different one, we are on a different place. Wait what!? When did this happen!?
"Hey, Elyzer!" I shouted his name
"?"
He lowered the book down and looked in front of him. He suddenly got startled and looked around.
"Where are we!?" He shouted
"I also don't know, we were just here all of the sudden"
-----------------------------------------------------------
"I can only teleport three person in a group or alone which is so stupid. On my second and third perso-"
"Hey! Don't you fucking dare call me stupid" someone inside him shouted
"Sorry, on my second and third person that are in a crowd to teleport, they will both teleport in the same place. If the second and third person are separated from each other, they will both teleport in different places"
"Hey! Can't the two of you tell me what is going on!?" I shouted
They both looked at me.
"Oh yeah, sorry about that-"
One of the guys looked at me closely.
"You don't look like from this country"
"You have a problem with that?"
I clenched my fist.
"I'm curious, what country are you from?"
"What are you talking about? Of course from here, I am born here"
"Let me guess, you are a half Filipino, and a half-blooded from other country, am I right?"
".... Yes"
"Aaah, a young beautiful mestiza. What half country blood are you?" The other one asked
These two!? I gritted my teeth.
"Can we stop talking about me and why or how did I get here!"
"Sorry but I'm just curious, tell me, what's your other nationality"
I can't believe I am talking with these two freaks.
"I am half brazilian"
Both of them clapped
"Oh wow, that's good to hear. Let's go to business then"
The other one jumped to the ground.
"Well, I don't want to do this, but, I have to"
A long stick came out of his hand.
"I have this superpower, but I don't know how to use it"
He raised and point the stick at me.
"I am going to try it on you"
I raised an eyebrow at him. What is this guy is talking about.
"Juan, he looked like confused about this super abilities thing. My ability won't work on her if she don't have one" the guy on the ground shouted to his friend above
"My ability said I can only teleport a person with abilities, there is no way I teleport someone who doesn't have it"
The guy on the ground looked at me.
"Our abilities don't lie, maybe you have an ability there you don't know"
Yeah, I have one. I spread legs, on a pose, my arms and hands down, clenching my fist.
*Floom*
My legs and fists burst out fiery aura, they sway with the wind. It was similar when I saw Elyzer attack that man, but there is a difference. Elyzer's hits threw out tiny particles, but ours don't.
"There we go"
"If you want a fight, then I won't back down" my voice full of determination
"I am not sure what is your ability, but it felt like me getting hit by those hurts. Then let me introduce mine, my ability is made to excorcism, and what do I excorcise?"
He pointed his finger at me.
"That ghost or ability inside of you"
"Huh? A ghost excorcising a ghost? That's weird" I heard my ability muttering
"What is he talking about ghost!" I asked
"The way you got this super ability is by from me, a ghost, I have possessed you. Both of you are similar, possessed by ghost to get this super abilities, but with different mechanics"
"I'll show you what I can do"
*Ziiiing*
Suddenly, half of his stick was filled with blood like red color.
"I can produce blood out of nowhere, you can say it is unlimited blood but this is no ordinary blood that people can just have or get"
I swung the stick on the air, blood fly out of it. Some of the blood hit me.
"GaaaaaAaaaaa!"
My ability shrieked inside of me, I could see something coming out of me then went back inside.
"It huuuuuurts!"
"If you are thinking why you are unharmed is that ghost is the only target, not the user" the guy's ability said
"You don't have to worry about yourself dying, worry about you going your ability gone. But still, some of my abilities can still hurt you"
*Zuuuiiiing*
Half of the stick glowed white.
"Not only blood, but other more ability that excorcise ghost"
"Please, help me!" My ability shouted
I went to my stance.
"Don't worry, I won't let him excorcise you. I love my ability or ghost inside me after all"
"Thank you thank you thank you!"
I started dancing, left, to right.
"Ooooh, is that what they call capoeira!? Looks like I am going to fight against a capoeira here Juan"
"Tsk, just do the job already. Don't kill the girl, your ability is only made for excorcism. While mine, just teleporting. Probably leading to killing them"
-----------------------------------------------------------
"We have to find the others!"
"I know I know!"
Elyzer and I started looking and walking around.
"Let's stay low"
*Thadg*
*Slick*
"Ow!"
Something cut my nose, I looked, it was a spinning long ice axe. It flew and started going to the right going back. There is a man about 25 years old. He caught the spinning ice axe. He is carrying two ice axes.
"Huh!? Why did you do tha-! Wait, don't tell me, you are one of them"
"We are under attack!"
*Floom*
Elyzer and I readied ourselves, our arms and legs blazed with aura.
"These two looked like they have beautiful abilities, might be the best ones to practice my abilities"
"Yeah, Adrian, I'm so proud of you. Maybe they might obliterate you there in seconds"
"What!? You don't look like you are cheering for me"
Ow, the wound on my nose, it stings. I could feel the blood going down to the tip of my nose, to down on my mouth. The man started spinning the ice axes.
"Get ready.... To die!"
