Chapter 25 - CHAPTER 25: Escape Of The Monster

 Calis raised one eyebrow in a playful way, "ooh Navo I really like me a name that stands out from the crowd." Navo was now practically jumping around, "yeah your name also sticks out from the crowd, and you are amazing and I'm just me." Calis started shaking his head, "don't think of yourself like that you are Navo and I'm sure you are just as amazing as I am." The boy started jumping around like a little kid, "you know I'm actually going undercover again in an orphanage on Earth." Calis's jaw dropped, "you're telling me your one of the people that Sam recruited to go undercover because that's actually amazing, I could never do that." Navo shrugged as if this was normal for him, "I mean it kind of comes naturally to me and I love going undercover anyways soooo."

 Calis stayed smiling though, "wait you don't happen to know a girl that Sam adopted, do you? "Yup I have the biggest crush on her, her names Viena." Calis smiled in a genuine manner, "wow Viena that's a pretty name I'm sorry about that." Navo raised an eyebrow, "why in the world would you be sorry about that I still might have a chance with her when she comes here." Calis sighed not knowing whether he should tell Navo about the situation because it might break him and even make him think that Calis wasn't a good person. But then after all Navo needed to know the truth if he really did like her, especially when Calis knew exactly that Viena wouldn't be his. "Navo trust me on this I was talking to Mato today and he said that Viena is going to be his girlfriend, Sam already arranged everything."

 

 Calis watched Navo's face twist from anger to grief, "NO NO NAVO I SWEAR I DON'T MEAN TO HURT YOU I JUST THOUGHT THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH!" Navo twisted his face in disgust, "oh no I'm mad but not with you, this isn't your fault, but I just can't imagine you hang out with that snob Mato." Calis sighed, bringing his eyes down to his feet, "we haven't been close for a while and today I told him that we weren't friends, you know he used to be nice, but he became arrogant and I started hating him more and more." Navo sneered, "Mato had always been a b*tch and always will be," he now patted Calis on his shoulder knowingly. "Calis the only reason Mato didn't seem that arrogant to you was because he really liked you but now, he's royalty he can't hold back his arrogance anymore."

"Navo, you do realize that Mato really was a good person when he was younger," Navo scoffed. "Please Calis stop defending him you know I just heard a few days ago that he did something unacceptable that breaks all protocols." Calis gave a try at a half smile, "yes but I said when he was younger," Navo screamed then faced himself directly at Calis. "Protocol is the biggest thing you can break that's actually crazy to do CRAZY!" Calis shifted uncomfortably at Navo's sudden scream. "Listen Navo I told this to Mato and Ill tell it to you," Calis paused for a small breath. "Please please don't judge people based on what you know when there is so much more to their story." Navo scoffed, "I don't mean to offend you or anything, but Mato has already shown all of his colors, and I mean all." Calis stared off into the distance where his house was, "listen Navo Ille check you later, but I need to go home now bye see you tomorrow."

Reg moved in closer to Viena step by step, her thick dark blue tears wouldn't stop pouring down and arranging into a bulky mold. "Viena please stop it please this is for your own good," but Viena only gave a big smile while she twisted in all forms. She started running over to Reg like a dog, but more like a wild dog running over to end you. Reg really started crying on the spot frozen in his spot, he didn't run he didn't try anything on Viena. He just stood there, still like a statue with hot tears still running down his face as she inched closer. But her smile started to slowly disappear when she gave a little Wiff of Reg, the foul odor made her start backing away rapidly. Sam gave Reg a confused glance, "I don't know boss I guess she didn't like the minotaur's smell I mean If I'm being honest myself that minotaur stunk like a skunk from earth but worse even!"

Sam replaced his perplexed look with a smug one, "get closer so she gets cornered maybe it will even bring her back to her senses." Reg gulped his face now glinting from sweat, "do you see that maniac in her eyes, because I can and everything about it is telling me to back up." Sam shot a glare at Reg, but he kept on backing up and slowly Viena's smile grew and so did her energy. The look on her face made it seem like she was getting ready to charge at Reg and kill him. Not matter if he had a foul odor or not, "Reg I LOvE FResH MEaT MmM." Reg screamed while opening his portal and leaping right in, but the monstruous Viena followed him in a blink of an eye. The portal closed and Sam was about to cuss out Viena whatever way he could, but he realized that she was gone. Right at that moment his eyes widened, and he imagined the most terrifying thing he had ever thought of from the day he was born.

His universe was now in danger, and it was all because Viena hadn't followed the system's rules like she should have. 'I wonder what that task was that cost Viena her soul what an ignorant child I told her to do everything the system commanded!' Sam grabbed one of the spare black vests that were hung on the rack, the special one glinted like a star. The special vest was only for Sam to use in emergency situations, and this was one of them. He clicked the flashing button on the vest, and it was already attached on him, and he was traveling through the Bifrost. In less than a millisecond later he was side by side with Viena, "VIENA LISTEN TO ME THIS IS NOT YOU YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THIS TO YOUR HOME!" Viena cocked her head slightly and started laughing, even her saliva was dark blue which frightened Sam very much.

Sam could see Reg in the distance shaking his head aggressively as if to signal to Sam that Viena was far too dangerous. Reg pulled out his arm, and his hand was half eaten leaving him with no fingers. Reg now started crying falling down to his knees in despair, the pain was too unbearable for him. Enough to drive him crazy, Sam kept shaking his head though as if he was trying to forget that disturbing sight. He could still remember seeing blood dripping from all corners and Reg's plea for help. "I guess it's time to use one of my own tricks then if you really are a cannibal now." With that Sam held his hand up to his head and then faced his fingers to Viena's head. In moments Sam was able to observe different parts of her brain. The goal was for him to find out what the task she hadn't completed was so he could bring an end to this.

In a specific section Sam was able to see that Viena had to consume one raw fish, which seemed pretty simple to Sam. So, he was already fuming that she hadn't completed this as soon as it came up. According to her brain calendar this was a long time ago, she had many chances to complete this and yet she never did. With his telekinesis powers Sam was able to easily bring over a fish right from their saltwater experiment from earth which wasn't too far away from them. He shoved the fish down her throat and in seconds she was on the ground. Her tears slowly disappeared, and her smile faded into tears, "Dad!" she ran over to hug him. But Sam backed up slightly just in case, "I SWEAR THIS IS ME THIS IS VIENA!" she cried with little snots filling up her nose. She hugged him and he hugged her back affectionately, "Dad It was so scary were they kept me they kept on- I-."

Reg came out from the distance tears still pouring down his face, he kept looking over at his hand. His fingers were gone, they were really gone, and he needed time to even process that. As soon as Viena got a good look at Reg's hand, she cuffed her hand up and started crying harder once more. "Did I do that Reg am I really a monster?!" Sam looked down at Viena and shoved her face down. "It's okay sweetie I can fix that with my healing powers as you know I already have many." Reg fell down to his knees, "MAKE THIS PAIN GO AWAY PLEASE RIGHT NOW I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" he fainted after those last words.
