38. I do this because it is right, if someone doesnt get it, then they should wait in the line.

  Next day.

  People outside, all of them sad, broken, surprised.

  Human: Oh no...

  Human: Who could do something like that!!

  Maya runs through the hall of her hotel. People in shock. Outside. Maya unlocks and opens the girls door aggressively. Maya breathing heavily. Ace instantly woke up, Kaya slowly started to wake up.

  Ace: Maya?

  Maya: You have one minute to explain who you are and what did you do last night?

  Rho comes from the kitchen.

  Rho: What's going on in here?

  Maya: What is going on? I'll tell you what is going on, Anarchists!

  Rho eyes widen a bit, but she stays calm like nothing happened. Ace stands up and walks over.

  Maya: Stay there!

  Ace stops.

  Maya: I don't care who you are, but I do need to know... did you have anything to do with it?

  Kaya: What are you talking about?

  Rikka starts to wake up.

  Rikka: Can you keep the noise down...

  Kaya hits her with the pillow.

  Rikka: Hey!

  Rikka looks at Maya and everyone.

  Rikka: What is going on?

  Maya: Something happened last night.

  People outside in disbelief.

  Rho: What happened?

  Maya looked at them suspiciously.

  Maya: you really don’t know?

  They shook their had, Rho stayed still.

  Maya: Someone... someone destroyed the three of hope.

  Pictures of destroyed three…

  They are all surprised and shocked.

  Maya: And if you had anything to do with it, speak of it, now!

  Kaya: We would never do that...

  Ace: What she said.

  Rho looks at her and approaches

  Rho: You know well enough that we didn't do it.

  Maya looks at them.

  Maya: How can I know that I can trust you?

  Rho: How can you say that you can't trust us?

  Maya looks at her and sights.

  Maya: Even if you didn't do it, people think that you did it.

  Ace: Why would they think that?

  Maya: Because of Amelia... she pointed her fingers at you because you are all wanted criminals.

  Rikka looks at Ace

  Rikka: You seriously couldn't answer that?

  Ace raises an eyebrow as she looks at Rikka.

  Maya: You don't have much time then, you all need to run away.

  Kaya: And how are we supposed to do that? We don't have a ship anymore.

  Ace: We'll think on the way, now it is time to go. I'll wake up others.

  She gets out.

  Rikka: Like now? Seriously? What person can just be ready to go after just waking up!

  Rho: Ready, now let's go.

  Rho was dressed and she had her bag.

  Rikka: Of course… how did I not see that coming.

  Kaya and Rikka taking here staff.

  Rikka: Oh wait, well I don't have bounty I don't have to be in a rush.

  Rho: If we leave without you, it's on you.

  She starts walking.

  Maya: Actually, you do have a bounty.

  Rho stops.

  Kaya: You have a bounty?

  Rikka: No... I mean I didn't know...

  Maya: They listed you as Anarchist too.

  Rho realizes.

  Rho: We are going, now!

  Ace kicks the door of a boy’s room. Nuri jumps.

  Nigel: What the hell man?!

  Ace: Get your asses up, it's time to go!

  Rin: What are you talking about?

  Ace: It wasn't a question, no time to waste, now let's go!

  She said scary as hell and she kept going forward the hall.

  Nuri: Why... why this always has to happen to us.

  Rin: Well you heard her, it's time to go.

  They stood up and went, Nuri behind them.

  Rho and others running through the hall.

  Rikka: What?

  Rho: We have some new bounties.

  Kaya: How can you know?

  Rho: She didn't have a bounty before, and that is for sure, which means if she got a bounty it must be from the other day when we fought Jack.

  Kaya looks down.

  Kaya: You mean the day when I was stupid enough to help Kai.

  Rho: You are not stupid, but yes, that is that day.

  Rikka: I wonder how much my bounty is?

  Rho: You seem too happy about it.

  Rikka: It is my first bounty!

  She said excited. They saw the others and went outside.

  Maya: If you go this way, you might manage to get away, but, good luck.

  Rho nods. They start going. Rho didn’t move.

  Maya: What are you waiting for?

  They all stop too.

  Rho: What will happen after we leave? If someone destroyed only thing that kept this island safe... that means that...

  Kaya: You are not safe anymore.

  Maya: Don't worry about that, I'll think of something, I never give up, and you shouldn't too. If you stay here you will all be in danger.

  Rikka: Well we all heard her, now let's go.

  She starts walking but stops when she sees no one is moving.

  Rho: You don't understand, someone who was capable of destroying that three, it's very dangerous. If someone needed to do that to get what they want... they are dangerous people, and if they are not stopped, they'll keep pulling up scams like that.

  Maya: You are right... but what are we supposed to do... They are too powerful.

  Ace: Just leave those trash to us, we will throw it away.

  Rikka: Wait what?!

  Nigel: Well we all knew this was going to happen... Pay up.

  He turns to Nuri. Nuri jumps again.

  Nuri: Where did you come from?

  Nigel: I was here this whole time you just didn’t noticed, now pay up.

  Nuri: Yeah you are always there when you need to take my money.

  He gave him money from their bett.

  Rin: What is your plan?

  He looks at Rho.

  The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

  Rho: It's time to show people why are we Anarchists.

  Rikka: You all are crazy?! What if you got caught?

  Ace: What? You scared?

  Rikka: Of course I am!

  Rho: Well didn't you want your bounty?

  Nuri: Wait, what bounty?

  Kaya: Apparently we have new bounties.

  Nuri: New bounties? Seriously?

  Ace: Nice.

  Nuri: Wait, does that mean... Rin has his own poster now too?

  Rho: That is possible.

  Nuri laughs.

  Nuri: Finally!

  Rin: Yeah yeah, it's time to go. So, what's the plan?

  Rho: We will have a little chat with Amelia, and after that, I need to see that tree. You all make sure that people around us are safe. There is going to be a fight, and I don't want to see innocent people get hurt, or nature.

  Maya: You have to know that she is never alone, there is this guy, Derek, always following her around. He is supposed to be really powerful, well both of them are.

  Nigel: That won’t be a problem for us, right?

  He looks at Rho.

  Rho: Right.

  Maya: What are you planning to do?

  Rho: This is what we are going to do. You are going to tell us where we can find her. Me and Nigel are going to take those two.

  She turns to Ace.

  Rho: Ace, follow us but remain in the shadow, watch the situation carefully and interfere only when necessary.

  Ace nods.

  Rho: They are going to send an army, soon, and the rest of you try not to get caught, and if there comes to fighting, protect the people of this Island at all cost. And Maya?

  Maya looks at her.

  Rho: You need to tell people the truth. Try to convince them that we are not enemies, and we have no intention to hurt them.

  Maya: I'll try my best.

  Rho: It is time to separate for now.

  Maya: I'll show you the way.

  People were around, also a few guards walking.

  Rho: This is the place?

  Maya nods.

  Rin: We could distract the guards.

  Maya: Leave that to me.

  She went out on the street, and came to the guards.

  Maya: Thank god you are here! I just saw the Anarchists!

  Guard: Where?

  Maya: They were headed this way. They are probably trying to escape.

  Guard looks at other guards and they nod.

  Guard: Stay here.

  They started to run in the opposite direction.

  Rho: Nicely done.

  Maya smiles.

  Rho: We are going inside. Rest of you, try to stay close, and fight when only necessary.

  They nod, Rho and Nigel went inside.

  Amelia and Derek.

  Amelia: Isn't this just perfect? We made a chaos and someone else is getting blame for that.

  Derek: Was that really necessary?

  Amelia: Of course it was. There is no way I am going to let thOse brats to get in the middle of my business.

  Derek: If you say so.

  Amelia: I finally got an opportunity to show them that I am worth it. When I manage to close the deal with the mayor that will show them.

  Derek: What if they don't manage to catch Anarchists?

  Amelia: That is not my problem, I contacted the military, and the rest is on them. Beside, only the tree was my problem and now there is no problem left.

  Rho: Oh I wouldn't say that.

  They look at Rho and Nigel. Amelia laughs.

  Amelia: You really think you can stop us?

  Rho: You are going to pay for what you did.

  Amelia: And what is that?

  Nigel: Don't play dumb, we all know who destroyed that tree.

  Amelia: And do you have any proof?

  Rho: Not yet.

  Amelia: And what proof do you think you will have?

  Rho: Your confession.

  Amelia laughs.

  Amelia: And why would I do that?

  Rho transforms into transf. 2, guns

  Rho: Because I'll make you.

  Amelia: Oh, I would like to see that...

  Crazy smile. Rho attacks.

  Outside

  The wall of building breaks, like explosion but from a hit. Amelia takes the hit, she burst through the wall.

  Rikka: What the hell was that!?

  They look. Rho jumps trough the broken wall, in front of Amelia and walks towards her.

  Some people noticed and some of them are scared some of curious. Amelia coughs

  Amelia: You sure this was a good idea?

  She laughs, even though she is hurt. People looking.

  People: Those are them?!

  Panic.

  Rin: Great...

  Amelia stands up. Rho transforms again, in transformation one, swords and she points a sword at her.

  Rho: When I make a decision I stick to it.

  She looks at Rin. Rin nods. Rho attacks, Amelia defiance.

  Rin: Okay we need to make sure people are safe. And that is our priority, got it.

  Nuri: And what about us staying safe?

  He sees the guards coming.

  Kaya: We need to do both.

  Derek and Nigel.

  Outside the sounds of fighting hears, a lot of noise, they are still in the building.

  Derek wanted to help Amelia. Nigel stops him.

  Nigel: And where do you think you are going?

  Derek looks at him, coldly.

  Derek: And when did you come here?

  Nigel annoyed.

  Nigel: I was here the whole time...

  Derek: If you say so.

  Nigel: It's time to stop talking.

  Nigel attacks without the curse. Derek dodges and appears behind him almost like transportation. Nigel fastly jumps away.

  Derek: You know this is really bad for publicity.

  Nigel: And what makes you think I give a damn?

  Derek: So you don't mind getting the blame? From the same people you are trying to protect?

  Nigel: I do this because it is right, if someone doesn't get it, then they should wait in the line.

  Nigel attacks.

  Nigel: I am planning to make the next spot open very soon.

  He hits him strongly, Derek stumbles but doesn’t fall.

  Derek: You know what, I admire that, and because of that, I think we should not involve public into this.

  Derek uses his power, he makes a space where they are hidden, and not seen by others, Nigel, him, Amelia and Rho stayed hidden from public.

  Outside a little bit before that.

  Amelia and Rho.

  Amelia: And what are you trying to complete with this? Soon all of you will end up in prison and then dead!

  Rho: And what makes you think I would ever let that happen?

  She said cold, calm, serious. She moves objects with her powers and throws it at her. Amelia uses her powers, and turns the objects into ashes.

  Amelia: You are not the only one with tricks.

  Rho: It was only a matter of time of me finding out.

  Amelia: Why don't I show you more?

  Rho: Be my guest.

  Rho ready.

  Amelia ready to attack but then notices Derek using his power, making the space that makes no sound and it is invisible for others to see them.

  Rho: What the...?

  Rho confused.

  Others.

  Few moments before the wall that Derek created. They fight the guards. Maya trying to stop them.

  Maya: Wait? It is not how it looks like, it wasn't their fault?

  They still fight. Sara sees her in panic.

  Sara: Maya? What is going on?!

  Maya: There is no time to explain it but it is not their fault, they didn't do it.

  Sara: Then why are they doing this now?

  Maya: They are protecting us!!

  Sara: Maya, they are criminals!

  Maya: No! They helped us, they are helping us right now!

  Sara shakes her head. She is scared. Guard runs, they are on their way, Maya tries to stop them.

  Maya: Stop please!

  Guards doesn’t care, one of them pushed her away hard, hurting her, but before she fell Kaya catcher her with her power.

  Kaya: You okay?

  Sara sees that. Maya nods.

  Kaya: Now, you are going to pay for that!

  Kaya attacks the guard who did that. Sara looks.

  Maya: They are not our enemies... they are our friends.

  Sara: Then... who... who started all of this?

  Maya: What do you think?

  Sara looks at her, knowing an answer. Rin moves the kids out of the way of the guards and then he sees border that Derek was creating, leaving four of them hidden.

  Rikka: What is going on?

  Nuri: I don't know... but something tells me, this isn't going to be good.

  They see how Rho and Amelia suddenly disappeared, just like Derek and Nigel.

  People: Anarchists killed them!

  Nuri: Wait what?!

  Maya: That wasn't them!

  Maya turns to people.

  Maya: Did you all forget who helped us! Who was there for all of us?!

  People hesitant and scared. The buildings starts falling apart. People running. Kaya moved Maya and Sara out of the way.

  Rikka helped some people too by pushing them away. One kid got stuck.

  Nuri: On it!

  Nuri rushes and saves the little kid, kid was in tears.

  Nuri: It's all okay little guy, you’ll be fine.

  He smiled. Kid wasn’t afraid. Mother runs towards him and she took the kid. Mother looks at Nuri for a second first scared but then…

  Mother: Thank you.

  Nuri nods, and runs back. One guard fell, and part of building was falling down towards him.

  He was ready to die, he closed his eyes but when he opened it he saw a snow, and not the wall flying towards him. Rin turned it into ice and crack it, making snow from that. Guard looked at him in disbelief. He helped the guard.

  Guard: Thanks man.

  Rin: No problem.

  Guard: You are strong, someone sent you here?

  Rin confused

  Rin: What?

  Guard: Well I don't remember seeing you before...

  Rin realizes, he doesn’t have a bounty. Rin smiles a bit evilly.

  Rin: Oh brother, I can't wait to tell you.

  Guard looks confused.

  Rin: I am just here to help.

  Guard: If we only had more guys like you.

  He taps his shoulder and runs to help others.

  Rho and Amelia

  Rho: What is going on?

  Amelia grins.

  In building, away from them.

  Derek: I just built us a space where no one can see us or hear us, but the effects are still there...

  Derek with his power breaks part of the building that was falling on others.

  Nigel: I see...

  Derek: And one more thing, I have full control of this space.

  Raises the volume, high pitched noise. Nigel covers his ears screams a bit.

  Amelia: That's right, we can make the mess as big as we want now, and you will be the one to blame.

  Rho: You don't really get it do you.

  She looks down, cold, serious, fearless. Rho looks up at her. Her eyes dangerous.

  Rho: Long ago I stopped to care about what will others think. And no matter what you do, you won't ever catch me, just like the others, because I still need them.

  Amelia: Of course you believe that. You are just a criminal who managed to get away a few times and now thinks that you can do that every time. I read your file, I am not scared of your powers, or you.

  Rho smirks.

  Rho: Well you should be.

  Amelia: And why is that?

  She looks annoyed.

  Rho: You are nothing but some dust along my way.

  Amelia confused.

  Amelia: What are you talking about?

  Rho: I have way bigger plans than this, so I'll make it quick.

  Amelia: You underestimate me.

  Rho: No, you underestimated me just like everyone else did.

  She walks slowly towards her, transf.1. swords, but her clothes is getting darker, as her sword too…

  Rho: Let me put it like this. I only have one wish, and no one will stop me to make my wish comes true.

  Rho stops.

  Rho: And one more thing. I am glad that no one will see what I am going to do to you...

  Her swords gets color of dark red and black. (usually is white and light red and green.)

  Amelia eyes widen.

  Nigel and Derek.

  Fights.

  Derek: You got some skill I'll give you that. But I have to ask. Are you doing this because of that stupid tree, or are you just seek for a revenge?

  Nigel: Neither and both.

  Derek raises an eyebrow.

  Nigel: to be honest I don't really care about that tree, but my friends care. And that is good enough reason for me.

  Nigel attacks again. Derek makes illusion of floor going up and down, and confuses Nigel.

  Derek: So, you are doing this for someone else?

  Nigel nods, Derek stops illusion.

  Derek: Then you must know, I am also doing this for someone.

  Nigel: For that crazy chick? Why?

  Derek: That crazy chick is my sister so be careful what you say about her.

  Nigel’s eyes widen a bit and softness a bit, he remembers his sister.

  Nigel: I get it but... you shouldn't encourage her to do something bad.

  Derek: I just do what I can to stay by her side.

  Nigel: I am sorry but, you and her need to learn a lesson.

  Nigel’s one eye goes dark as he looks at him. Derek confused surprised. Nigel with his right arm (right eye black.) moves to the right, Derek’s left leg stops working and he falls on his other knee. He hold his hand on the left side of his head. Derek, one eye in fear and tears, other normal but angry.

  Derek: What the hell is this?!

  Nigel points finger at him coldly. Nigel very quietly.

  Nigel: You...

  Derek’s memories blocking, presented as pictures going fast. (Him and his sister as babies, growing up, family, accident, she changes, she colder, they are growing up, they are here)

  Derek: Stop this!!

  Tries to fight with his other side, other arm. Nigel just disappears into the shadow and comes again.

  Nigel: Don't fight it...

  Derek looses his strength, his space starting to blink.

  Outside, others.

  Still fighting the guards. But people starting to trust them more after they helped everyone.

  Kaya: On your left!

  Rikka reacts.

  Rikka: Thanks.

  Kaya: No problem.

  Nuri looks around.

  Nuri: Wait, where is Ace?

  She wasn’t with them from the start.

  Ace sneaking in the mayors building. Office. She remained unseen. Empty room. Someone went outside, she jumped from sealing, without making a sound. She walked towards the table, seeing some papers there.

  Ace: What do we have here. She reads.

  Ace: Not much here ha?

  She notice locked draw.

  Ace: Well maybe you’ll have something more useful.

  She opens the lock, and the draw. She took the documents and read. Her eyes widen after few moments, she froze. She hears someone coming. The person starts to open the door, and walks in. she wasn’t there, she was gone, window open.

  …

  Davon and Eligor right now (in a different place of course)

  Davon: No, no, there is no need for that

  He is using c6, upgrade version, looks a bit different too.

  Davon: Call me again when it's all over.

  He breaks connection.

  Eligor: You know I can take us there right now.

  Davon: I know, but it's not the time.

  Orobas walks in annoyed.

  Orobas: Why are we still here?

  Eligor stands up wanted to react but Davon stops him by only raising a hand.

  Davon: Because I have a plan, way better than that.

  Orobas: And what is that?

  Davon grins. And looks towards the window.

  Davon: You'll see.

  Orobas: Like I said, I don't care what are you doing with bless users but a curse users belong to me. And at Viridis Island we have two that we know off.

  Eligor stands up.

  Eligor: you mean one, right?

  Orobas silent for a bit.

  Orobas: Yes, one.

  He looked serious. Someone in the shadow listening the whole time, male figure, you can't see his face.

  Eligor: well, I am not taking you there either way so, I guess that means you don't go

  Orobas pissed, Eligor disappears,walking trough a portal he made, as the shadow.

  Eligor transforms somewhere outside, as the shadow.

  Eligor: Happy now?

  You see someone with big hood over his head and the mask, you can’t see who it is but that

  person nods.

  Eligor: Good, now let’s go.

  Eligor and that person disappears.

  Past

  Nexara working on a project with her team.

  Nexara: Cross these two questions, they will not serve any purpose in this.

  She talked to one of her employee, Ivone.

  Ivone: Are you sure… I still think…

  Nexara interrupted her.

  Nexara: We are trying to make a progress in prisoners rehabilitation, and any question related to judging them wont help so cross it.

  She nodded and crossed it.

  Ivone: Sorry for being direct but, shouldn’t we show that we do judge them for what they have done? I mean they are still a criminals.

  Nexara: Just because someone is labeled as one, doesn’t mean they are one.

  Ivone: I don’t understand…

  Nexara coldly looked at her, but she talks with emotions.

  Nexara: I understand that you are new here, but this is important so I need you to understand some things.

  Ivone listened.

  Nexara: Criminal system is complex, just like everything in this world, and we are talking about human beings, with a heart and soul. No one is born evil, no one is born necessarily good either… what kind of person you will become it depends on so many factor. How you raised, the surroundings, mental health of a woman carrying a child… and so much more. So, if we have one person and let’s say for example 20 years of their life, you really thing one label is enough to tell you who that person is? And there is so many labels…

  Ivone: Well no… I mean I never thought about it…

  Nexara: You are not the only one who didn’t thought about it, the truth is only a little percent of population thinks about circumstances like that, and that’s why we have so much crimes. No one listens but yet everyone react. If we all could just sit and listen to someone else’s story instead of creating one for them ourselves, maybe we would actually have some answers.

  Nexara looks away, continues working.

  Nexara: If anything I learned so far, most normal people are labeled as insane by the insane people, and somehow we live in a world where that is normal and okey… so tell me, what that tells you?

  Ivone thinks.

  Ivone: That there is more insane people that are labeled as normal and that is starting to be normal?

  Nexara looked at her.

  Nexara: I knew you are here for a reason.

  She smiled a bit.

  Nexara: But, there is even beyond that…

  Ivone: What do you mean?

  Nexara: In the end there is no normal, there is no insane, there is just one large group of people having their own truth… and fighting for that truth to be the only one… and then you have a war, then you have fights, then you have criminals, broken and sad people… not realizing that there can be more truths than one, and that is okay.

  Ivone was quiet a bit.

  Ivone: And what if someone’s truth is bad for the others? And evil…

  Nexara: Well, that truth didn’t fall from sky, did it now?

  Ivone looks confused.

  Nexara wanted to say something but she was interrupted by other employee.

  Elvin: Miss Nexara, you are wanted in the office.

  Nexara stood up, but before she left she turned to Ivone.

  Nexara: Think about those questions carefully, and try to give them an answer, and you will see you will have a question after question, and stop only if you have no question left. Oh and one more thing... I don't want you to understand this as me defending something that is bad... All I am saying the world is complicated and there is always more than one truth, that's all.

  Ivone nodded and Nexara started to leave. After she left, Ivone sat at the desk and started to write…
