Escape

Thread: Eliza's diary

It was past midnight. I didn't quite get why Josh picked midnight to escape from the capital. At night, the guards doubled, and security is tighter than ever. I crept down to the side of the truck as I turned to Neal looking for an explanation.

Maybe he finds it much more meaningful and thrilling?

Bullshit. He must have some other logical explanation. From what I see Josh wasn't that kind of an irrational person. Josh turned and began to brief us in a hushed tone. "Reason why I picked the night is that we would be less visible, unless they have night efficient equipment. If they do, it's a mislook on my part, but they will definitely be tired and lazy. It's night after all." He assured us all.

Not much of assurance to me. Lyzerg stood up and told all of us. I'll start. He stepped from behind the truck with his hands in his pockets, probably to hide his excitement of using Neal's ability. The guards turned and pointed their guns at him. "Hey you, put your hands-" They stopped and Lyzerg motioned for us to come out of our hiding place.

"Here you go, guns and the cards for the gate and that truck." The guard said as he pointed to the truck which we were hiding behind a moment ago. "Uniforms too." Lyzerg said as he took four uniforms and handed them to the guys. "I could get used to this power." Lyzerg smirked.

"Where's my uniform?" I asked.
"Oh, they don't have one for girls." Lyzerg answered.
"What! Against girls are we now?"
"No, it's just that the girls uniforms are only available inside. The girls are usually in the special op's team." Lyzerg said defending himself.

We all walked towards the truck, but Neal didn't move. "You're too soft Ezzabell. You should finish them. Like this." As he said that he turned around and walked towards us. The guards had died, without any wounds.

"Neal, thats just cruel." Lyzerg said as he entered the back of the truck and sat down. "And why do Randal and Josh get to sit in front?"
"Randal's the only one who can drive properly and Josh gives him the directions." I replied.
I turned and caught Neal glancing in my direction before staring at Lyzerg.
"Oh, how did you finish them off Neal?" I asked.
"Evolved abilities I guess?" He answered. "After what Mell told me, I figured I have to get better, otherwise I can never beat someone like him."
"And what is your evolved ability?" Lyzerg asked.
"I won't tell you. You'd copy that too."
"Oh man, its not like I can copy it permantly."
"You might? As an evolution of your abilities." Neal said.
"But you haven't answered me. I asked you the question!" I said.

I just turned them into a comatose state. I got to learn about the brain before I can do any manupilating on it. So learning more about it, I can even cause real death the next time.

Neal was good at using his ability. Even while he was explaning it to me, he looked in another direction acting as though he wasn't doing anything. That was cool. The truck jerked.

A guard poked his head through the window. "What's your business 'ere?" The guard was silent for awhile before giving another card to Randal. "ere's a card for the next stop. You better be careful 'ough, the special op's team and some mercs are on duty at the immigration checkpoint. Even guards like us can be suspected of being spies or 'ose intruders."

Randal replied. "Yeah."
"Wanna cup o' coffee before you leave?" The guard asked all of us.
"Yeah, then make that five then." Josh asked as he smiled.
"-aight then." He said as he lifted his elbow of the door before coming back with 5 cans of coffee.
"ere you go." He said as he nodded his head.

We drove off scot free yet again. "I see, using your ability is rather easy. Just make those guards your good friends and everythings easy." Lyzerg said. It was another long drive again before we finally stopped at the immigrations checkpoint. Two girls in tight fitted black suits and helmets stood infront of the truck, both holding guns in their hands. "The special op's team. Get ready." Josh said as he stepped out with two rifles. Josh taught you how to fight with your ability right? Neal asked. Yeah he did. I answered.

We all stepped out and placed our hands against the truck as they searched us. "Oh man, this must be my lucky day with two girls searching me." Lyzerg said as he let them search him.
"Keep your mouth shut you dirty intruder." One of the girls said. I couldn't tell whether or not she was angry with that helmet covering her face.
"Your ability is manipulating minds too?" Lyzerg asked in shocked.
"No, its just that these helmets don't let you mess our minds." The girl said as she placed her pistol in her holder.

Suddenly there was a crunching sound as Lyzerg got pushed into it. The truck now had his shape. "...this, is my power." The girl said as she lifted the truck, throwing it a few metres away, with Lyzerg stuck to its side. The other girl threw a punch at Neal, but he dodged. "Eliza, I don't just read minds. I fight too." Neal said. Three more girls appeared as they said in unison.

"We can't let you go past these walls that lead out of the capital. You all will die here."
