“Lyraa!” screams Apollo being dragged away by Alexander

The last look he ever got of Lyra was her standing firmly in place bruised and bloodied but her conviction in tact,

Alexander warps then warps him along with Himari to the seabank whirlpools then warping into them

All the while Apollo who had no feeling in lower legs swung fists and struggled about, Himari remained silent quite traumatized by the experience…

“Enough from you,” Alexander says annoyedly, pressing his hand on Apollo’s face

Bzztt..!

A small jolt of electricity shocks his brain rendering him unconscious,

Himari had long since fainted at his point,

“Welcome to Terra” Alexander greets his restrained captives politely…

.........

…….

…….

“…..Uh

..uhngh.” Apollo moans, blinking back into consciousness,

“Errrrghh” he tries to move but his hands are strapped down to a table, cords pierced into his body from all sides draining him of his strength

For now, at least.

“Eeerrrggh!” he adamantly struggles about

“You recover quickly,” a white haired man donned in a lab coat, enters the room,

His face has large stich marks vertically across his cheek and horizontally above his nose

“Where…..

Where am I!?” Apollo still struggling

“Stay put, moving around like that only makes this process take longer,” the coated man ignores Apollo’s demand

“Let me go!”

“You are quite the rare specimen, Alexander has brought for me,” the doctor still ignoring him

“Do you know we once held your father in this very facility?”

“……” Apollo stops struggling upon hearing that

“I am quite surprised Alexander hadn’t our right killed you given the history he has with your father,” continues the doctor

“What history?” grumbles Apollo unable to suppress his curiosity

“I don’t think Alexander would be to keen on me speaking on the matter,”

“You should rest up where you are boy, your mana is very rare and useful to us, if you behave you will experience as little pain as possible,”

“.. Strapped up to this machine?

Hell no!

Let me go!” Apollo begins to struggle again even more than before,

“hahhhh” sighs the doctor, tapping something on his wrist

“EEEIIIIAAAAhhhhhhiiiiiieeeeeeccccckkk!

DON’T TOUCH ME!

GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF ME!!”

The lab becomes lit up with the screams of woman

“Himari!!?” Apollo identifies it at once

“I just disabled the sound proofing, we do not have much of a use for your companion like we do you,

But if you cooperate, she will be spared,

We will however be extracting the fetus from her–“

“-HUUUAAAAAAGHHH!

HUUUUUUHHHGGHHH!” Apollo bawls out his eyes now glowing bright white

Cooperate?

Brashh!

In that moment Apollo was in fight or flight mode…

Braackksh!

His arms break free from the binding, sparks ricocheting off his body.

“Where is she Himari!?” Apollo steps off the table he was strapped to, his legs feel a little wobbly but he’s regained the feeling in them…

“You are much more powerful than I expected,” the doctor says sounding somewhat impressed,

He taps something on his wrist again this time a high pitch frequency floods the room,

“Aghhhhkk!”

(“What is this buzzing?”) he thinks clasping his ears pain fully

(“No, I must bear it!”)

“Thaaaaattttsss

…….

Nnoott!

…….

Gonnna!

…….

Sttooopp!

…….

Mee!” Apollo stutters dropping to his knees

“THUNDER GOD CLAP!”

He slaps his palms together causing a massive electromagnetic surge that disrupts everything in the facility

This time the doctor is truly stunned

“I am I going to need a stronger frequency output for you”

“Raaaaaahh!” Apollo screams a jolt of lighting at him, but he warps himself out of harms way,

Not wasting time the young man springs up,

“Darius!” He calls while running through the building

Sure enough the sword find it’s way to him moments later as he–

—BRAHSHH!

He rams it through a steel wall,

“Himari!”

Inside an operating room the woman is laid out on a table, her stomach slit open the woman bleeds out slowly,

She doesn’t verbally reply instead blinking, face pale and blue

“gaahhh!

That doctor played me a recording, he has already done this too you,” he punches at a wall in frustration

(“Where do I even go from here?

How do I save Himari?”) thinks Apollo picking up the woman

(“All I can do is run”)

“Godspeed!”

Apollo blitzes out the lab into the cold night of a–well he really can’t get a chance to notice the city as he blitzes through it as well,

He runs all the way down snakeway

Through the forest to the plains the mountains,

All around the first ring he runs with incredible speed

Unsure of what it is he’ll find

Vwwwwwwwwzzzzzzzttt!

He zips back up snake way, the area around the city is snowy and barren

Going so fast Apollo doesn’t even notice a warning holographic sign

SHEER COLD ZONE

Both Apollo an Himari are bare naked and now in Ultra-cold weather

Apollo doesn’t even notice both his lower legs are frost bitten,

He just runs,

Maybe in frustration, or is fear?

Fear that if he stops, if he slows down and watch Himari inevitably die right after losing Lyra

He wouldn’t be able to control himself,

He would slaughter everyone.

“Ughhaaaaahh!” Apollo shrieks coming to a gruesome stop after feeling a great pain one wouldn’t wish on their worst of enemies

His right pinky toe folds in on itself as he’d just stubbed it massively on a rock

Thud!!

He lands back first on the snow still clutching Himari who is barely alive at this point

The moment they stop the sheer cold zone lives up to it’s name immediately beginning to freeze the two,

“Urrhhkk” he groans

(“This can’t be the end”)

Digging his hand into the snow the man tries to hoist himself up still not giving up

*Click*

His hand touches something underneath the snow.

The couple immediately gets swallowed by a vortex.
