Fifteen Journey - Chapter 21

“You weren’t expecting this, eh? Well, it was simple to charge. You know…”
But Rick didn’t want to know. His body was hurt all over and it was painful to move any muscle. At least, Fred was giving him time by exposing the plan himself created. But it wasn’t still enough time…
What to do now?
“But now…” Fred started.
Should I give up?
“…all I’ve got to do…”
Or fight till my breath stop?
“…IS DEFEAT YOU, RICK FLAIM!”
Fred started will all the speed to reach Rick’s body.
‘I’ve made my choice.’
Fred was approaching…
‘I’m gonna fight…’
Fred reached the place where Rich had been a second before. He was now just above Fred, who, in some seconds turned to Rick’s sword. Fred, who was inside the machine, was hit with all Thynia and Rick’s power. Somehow, it was working. It seemed that Fred’s power was decreasing. And Rick didn’t stop. If he stopped, it would be the end for him, he felt it. Even if he wasted all his forces, he would continue, with some unknown force within him. Rick continued his attack. He hoped he could destroy the robot’s defence. Somehow…
Fred was desperate. Inside the robot, he was just blocking the attacks with ultra speed. But it seemed that the enemy was faster than his robot. Fred still didn’t know the robot’s defence limits and was afraid the nemesis could ruin his perfect plan. The plan… Of course!!!
Fred pressed one button. The button of salvation.
Rick felt a wind blow in his chest. He was dragged to a wall near the battle field, being surrounded by the citizens. That blow… Rick tried, but he couldn’t move at all. He could barely think. All that he felt was the machine’s sounds approaching him since his eyes were shut. Not even his eyes wanted to open.
‘Is this the end?’
“Give up, I don’t want to kill you!”
‘I’m already dead…’
It was a matter of seconds. His heart was beating faster, his sight was getting blurry, his breath was slower.
Fred was stunned. The person in front of him… No, he couldn’t be a murderer. He was pretending, that could be the only explanation. How could a player who had already defeated another two not survive his attack?
“Let’s scare him…”
Fred prepared himself. If Rick was pretending, he would block his attack, and then, Fred could use the ultimate trick. If not…
‘If not, I would be a murderer…’
Fred stopped his reasoning. If not, he would be the winner of the battle. He advanced with his plan. The punch was approaching Rick which he was able to see, but he saw another thing behind.
‘Angel…’
The angel spread some kind of powder around Fred. Neither him or Rick could see. However, Rick felt being carried far away from it. He was safe…
“Couf… who… couf… are you?” Fred inquired.
“Michael Twain and Cassey Lane, the ones Rick defeated.”
Fred was stunned. Three against one wasn’t fair…
Angel…
Mike and Cassey brought Rick far away from Fred’s sight. Rick knew he was alive when he heard the angel’s voice. Cassey was right in front of him.
“Hey, quick, open your eyes!”
He obeyed. He knew the battle wasn’t over. He was surprised to see Cassey burst in tears.
“I thought you were dead!”
She tied him close to her, decided not to let him go. Not again.
“Even if you did those horrible things to me, you are too important to be lost.” Cassey was still crying heavily “Don’t give up now! It is my entire fault… If I hadn’t spanked you…”
“It is my fault too” Rick turned to Mike who was now speaking “I became too worried with Horous and I forgot about you, guys. I apologise. However, something smells fishy around these games…”
Rick looked up at his friends. Yes, they were friends. Just like Thynia and his family.
But he still couldn’t stand up, how could he defeat Fred?
“Mike” Rick said between heavy breaths “you’re not the only one that is smart over here. Listen to me…”
Fred was now prepared to use his ultimate weapon. All he had to do was find both three teens and he would have three servants in some minutes-time. But what happened wasn’t in his plans…
Both three appeared around him.

Next Chapter:
Rick’s plan. Will he be successful? Or will Fred’s strategy win against the three?

Author’s Note:
It’s been a while since I last update. Anyway, here you’ve got a whole new chapter.
I’ve noticed that Fifteen Journey is full of gaps and plot’s mistakes. I’m thinking of in the summer holidays write the whole story in Portuguese and complete those gaps. And, of course, there will be new characters!
Please, people, comment. Otherwise, I’ll stop commenting too. (This is a menace, eheh…)
