《The Final Light》Chapter 13: Light Surrounded
Advertisement
“3,2,1 GO!!!!” we both lift off and start running when we are both good distance the wall burst’s into pieces as the Aku-no smashed its way through it, it stopped and what I would presume looking around for us, when it sensed or realized we were piss bolting away from it, they started to fire the spikes at us, the cover around us slowly being demolished by it as it wishes to kill us.
While running one spike almost took my leg, another one passed by almost sending us both flying as it between us not far in front of us, but we kept running hoping this Aku-no cant aim. “Not far to go just hope we don’t get hit at all from this point on!!” “Lich you can do that easy, but I can’t I do not run as fast as you!!” “ha-ha who says getting hit is by how fast you are Sir!?” good point and that just confirms that I cannot hear him properly not with the headache and this new thing that is going on at the moment, it is something hard to describe without sounding insane at all or having a mental health issue but ever since we started running and the Aku-no bursting through the wall I have a strange feeling about it, but I don’t know what.
When we both reached the door we saw Winters waving, so we both just ran towards him not far behind us though came the Aku-no bursting through the wall and started shooting again it missed some more but without having us both having to duck jump and sidestep a couple times, but we eventually made it in one piece.
“Ok let’s move now, Jones know where we are going yeah?” Jones turns around and places the map back on the floor “yes, I know where we are but there is a problem I want to bring up” “Wha……. What is it, is it a problem we have at the moment” I am exhausted from the run holy “well sir it appears we will have to wait for the team to come back with the extra help as this tunnel is collapsed and it happened when we just got here” “what you have to be joking if so you are fucked” “Lich clam down, if you want a look go down there and look for yourself” “Sir, what do we do”

Ahh the million Zeph question there, huh you guys are really fucked are you now, yeah we are I just don’t know how to get out of this situation there should be a way right there has to be, think come on think there has to be one way to get out of here there is, there just has to, why yes there is one let me help YOU and the others die that are with you, who was that, I do not know and if I don’t know it is not good, “Sir are you ok you look pale” I grip my head with one hand and fall to my knees, I will help but a cost must be decide quick before I leave, I will not accept what you wish, if you so wish.
Kimber’s POV
“Shit Captain’s out cold!” I rush over quickly to check if he is injured, and from what I see he is fine, I turn him over to his front and find that blood is coming from his eyes just dripping out bit by bit like he is crying blood, what the fuck is going on.
“We have to get the gas mask off him if we don’t he will die by drowning in his own blood”
2 hours latter
We are awake, who was that or what was that we have to find out latter we need to move out before the Aku-no comes back, yeah we have to do that, as I slowly get up I look around to see where the others are but I don’t see them anywhere then a light flashes my way from further in the tunnel “Sir you are up, JONES GET WINTERS AND LICH CAPS UP!!!” the light heads my way faster “Kimber what happened” “I could say that for you sir what was that” I look at him I want to tell him but it will sound crazy “to hard to explain” “yeah way too hard to explain” “got it” “we started looking for area that are large enough to move through in the collapsed area of the tunnel and we may have found out why it collapsed in the first place” “how?” “While looking through the rubble we found beams that were supporting the tunnel they looked like they were tampered with by removing some bolts forcefully” “who the hell would do that” “the rebels or other groups of people wanting us dead maybe” that would be the first thought that a lot of people would go to but why do they want us dead are we going to far to find something out if so then what is it that they are hiding from us.

“Sir you good you gave us all a fright when you collapsed” Jones coming over from a very pitch black place “yes, yes I am fine so how is progress going to find a way out” “quite good actually we have found multiple spots that are easy to get through they just need to be cleared a little more and stabilized” “Ok that is fast of you all” “aye sir we do work fast” a surprize Jones appears “and we do have the muscle” “that is fair from all of you, we should continue shall we” “Yes sir!” I slowly get up from the home brew resting place they set up for me and walk toward said collapsed area that I have never seen, and when I would see it I maybe think ‘yea we might as well stay here and wait for help’ but when it came into to view I didn’t think that I just looked at it in amazement of how big the rubble was and the collapse.
They showed me the areas were the clearest “this can fit all of us just needs some support so we can all go through it” “it does?” Jones walks over to see what I mean by ‘just needs some supports’ and to see if he missed a spot or just thinking that he miss calculated “and so it does we just need two supports and we have home stretch” something feels of about how every one is acting do you get this feeling to, what do you mean I don’t feel like something is wrong at all, doesn’t Jones always make sure he finds the perfect answer for a problem, no not always or from what I have experienced while with him, then it is just me then continue with what you were doing.
“do we some supports ready to place at all” Kimber looks to be calculating if we do or not and if he takes to long to do so we do not “we have enough yes” never mind, judging by the length of it we have to spread out the supports by 12 to 13 meters or so, we are going to have Winters place them and then have Lich go through first see if it is safe or not for all to go through ”Winter you have to place them in place, they have to be roughly 12 to 13 meters apart got it” “Yes sir, but why me in this situation and not Jones or Kimber to do it” “well I want Jones to do something else and Kimber has to do something as well” “Ok, well time to get to work then shall we Winters” and so off he went to do Placing of beams.
“Kimber, Lich and Jones you are all on watch, and Lich when Winters is finished I want you see if it is safe to pass through or not” “Yes Sir” he fiddles with something in his hand for a while after I said that to him, could he be nervous about it, I won’t blame him it is quite the job to do under pressure especially at this moment. Now time to wait and wait we do and with it I never realized how boring it can be to wait for something to happen I have never had this problem before I have always been able to do something to keep my mind occupied from being bored but now I don’t have the pleasure to do so, how fun it is, all you do is think about hat you could be doing at the moment of said boredom.
A rock falls about 30 meters away from me I check it for something that have disturbed it to fall but nothing, and another thing that sucks about being bored you hear things that otherwise would be hard to hear in normal circumstances when you would be focused on other things keeping you preoccupied, but I do have feeling that is making me really uncomfortable about trying to get through that collapse I think it with what we have got to know about why it is like this I think there is also a really big reason for it as well and not just to trap us here to be killed like fish in a barrel, but we got through and Lich head on through to see if it is safe he comes back to give the all clear so we all head on through. And my feeling may have been right.

Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.
