TYRALIUM

Chapter 7

It took about 7 minutes for the elevator to reach its stop.

Nick walked out, but we refused to follow him, so we stayed in the elevator.

"Yo, Ray, You seen Akalo." Nick asked a man who sat behind his desk.

"Nick you're back!" Ray yelled.

Everybody realised, and there was a joyous jubilation, for a while.

"Sector G. Too much noise." A male voice echoed over the building.

"Go fuck yourself Fletcher!" One of the men yelled out to the male voice that spoke.

Nick rose his arm, and the noise gradually seized "I'm looking for Akalo."

"General Akalo. Low respect." One of the men yelled.

"Shut up, Vic. He's at Sector S." Ray answered.

"What's he doing there?" Nick asked, taking a glass of whisky, a waiter brought to him.

"We're trying to track Limuel." Another guy answered "And you know Sector S is the best at tracking."

"Wait. About Limuel. How did the mission go?" Ray asked.

"Yo, kids!" He called out.

We slowly walked out of the elevator and into the crowd.

They all opened their mouths out of shock, when they saw us.

"Which ones?" They started to ask.

"This one, and that one." Nick said, pointing to Ransom and I  "The rest are only Titans."

"Only Titans." Desmond whispered to himself.

"Okay. Off to see Akalo." Nick said waving.

We followed him back into the elevator. Again, it took minutes before we arrived.

You know, the mezmerizing thing's, the whole building had no walls, just glass positioned as a wall, such that I could see myself through the glass wall, wherever I went. It was shocking how a building like this could survive underwater.

We walked out, and headed for a little office, also made of glass walls. Nick opened the door and we all entered.

"Any news, Nick?" Akalo asked, without even looking at us.

"Well, I've got the boys, for starters." Immediately, Akalo rose his head, and looked at us in shock.

"Second news?" He asked.

"I tracked Limuel." Nick answered.

"Yes!!!" Akalo yelled so loud skipping out of his seat.

Then he stopped and asked, "Where's James?"

Nick bowed his head, "There was a shoot out, and he died during it."

I recognised James as the driver at the time we got kidnapped by Nick.

"Hold on!" Ramson yelled "I don't know what's going on! I don't know why we're in this shit hole you guys call a base or whatevs! I don't know why this guy, Nick and Limuel want the four of us! I also don't know how Limuel is the bad guy in this situation! I mean, I know Limuel. I don't know who the fuck you guys are, and nobody is caring to explain to the 4 of us what the fuck is going on!"

"I told you to tell them. Damn it Nick!" He yelled, and turned quickly to us "Have you told Limuel anything? About the Tyralium or anything."

"All he knows is it's in Ramson and I. That's all. No biggie." I answered.

"They thought Limuel was the good guy, so they gave him info!" Akalo yelled hitting the table with his leg "Why didn't you tell them, Nick?"

"Suck it Akalo!" Nick yelled "You couldn't have done any better. There were a lot of shoot outs, I wasn't able to get time to tell them."

"Okay, where do we start from?" Akalo thought "Okay. First of all, into The Diary."

It was far, but we got there in some few minutes. The Diary, was a small room with glassy walls built deeper into the grounds of the ocean. To make it simple, The Diary is like the basement of a normal house.

Akalo's badge was scanned, and we'd access to the room. The moment we arrived in the room, a hologram sprouted at all the parts of the room, and a ball was shown, which had small liquids circulating around it.

The room was really dark and quiet.

"Okay, this is Tyralium." Akalo announced pointing at the ball-like object.

"Where from?" I asked him.

"Everywhere." Nick answered "Found in the most hidden parts of every heavenly body in the universe."

"Universes." Akalo corrected.

"Akalo, not now." Nick stopped him.

"What does he mean?" Ramson asked.

"He has this stupid theory that there's more than one, even two universes." Nick answered "Anyway, Limuel has discovered just a tiny piece of it . . ."

"I get it. It's in us, due to that explosion." Ramson said cutting Nick out "What's the actual problem? Can it kill us, staying in our bodies?"

"That's not the problem. It can not kill you." Akalo answered "What you must know is, Limuel is the bad guy in this whole shit, and he intends to use the Tyralium for an evil agenda."

"What evil agenda?" Desmond asked.

"That's not for you to worry about. Leave it to us. All we ask of you right now is for y'all to stay here, and not go out." He said mentioning his words very carefully.

"But I wanna go home!" Desmond yelled.

"Desmond." Nathaniel scolded.

"What? You don't miss home?" Desmond asked.

"Actually, no." Nathaniel answered "That place sucks."

"Well I'm going!" Desmond yelled walking out.

"You are not going anywhere!" Akalo yelled, furiously.

"I don't have the Tyralium. What's the problem?" Desmond said.

"Okay, yeah, you're useless. Nick show him out." Akalo said with a shrug.

"Yo, wait. I'm coming." Nathaniel called joining Desmond.

"Yo Nat." I called out to him "Try to talk to my parents."

"Yeah." He agreed "Don't worry. We'll be coming day by day."

We escorted them to the garage where Nick arrived with us. They sat into the car, and got sucked into the tube, back into the ocean. Ramson and I waved Desmond, and Nathaniel until they were out of sight.

"One more thing." Akalo said after they were gone "The Tyralium has given you special powers."
