Chapter 7: Quantum Wave
Jeremy puts his ear up against the door and doesn't hear anymore footsteps.
Jeremy: "I think we're in the clear."
Dominic has been pondering a question in his head.
Dominic: "This school has dorms right? So why aren't students currently in the dorms not noticing this?"
Jeremy: "Well the thing is-"
Connor: "(breathing heavily) The dorms are on the complete opposite side of campus. No one would notice a thing."
Jeremy and Dominic step outside the room.
Dominic: "We'll be back after we deal with Gele."
They lock and close the door.
Connor: "(in head) I feel useless..."
Jeremy and Dominic bust through the main door of the building and out to the area about 10 meters from the main gate, where a man in a blue suit stands.
Man: "So you have betrayed us Dominic."
Dominic and Jeremy assume fighting stances.
Dominic: "I was never on your side in the first place!"
Jeremy: "I never would've guessed the principal was a member of this organization hounding Connor and I!"
Gele puts his hands in his pockets.
Gele: "I'm also one of the top ranking with Napoleon!"
A regal appearing Stream Echo in a general's uniform and a navy blue hue appears behing Gele.
Dominic: "Dali!"
Jeremy: "Alexander!"
Their Stream Echoes appear.
Gele: "So Jeremy Kline and Alexander the Great, one and the same. Then again, you wouldn't peg someone like Dominic for being one of the most famous artist in history."
Dominic: "Huh?"
Gele: "Echoes are shadows of your former self Dominic."
Meanwhile...
Connor: "(struggling for door handle) I won't let this burning hold me back!"
Connor turns the handle...
Jeremy: "How about we take care of you and start exposing this whole conspiracy?"
Gele: "(chuckling) Do you honestly think you two can hold me back?"
Silver energy forms in front of Napoleon.
Gele: "Guillotine Wave!"
The energy moves so fast, they're barely able to dodge.
Jeremy: "That's scary!"
Gele: "My Guillotine Wave slices any organic matter is comes into contact with like a knife on warm butter."
Dominic: "And if you think that's bad, they're six higher up than him."
Jeremy: "(wetting himself a bit) Can I go cry now?"
Three more waves, all barely dodged.
Jeremy: "(dodging and moving in) Let's see if this'll hurt!"
Jeremy tries to slam his bat into Gele's face, but Napoleon grabs the bat just before impact.
Gele: "You know what to do Napoleon."
Napoleon tosses Jeremy into Dominic, doing damage to both of them.
Jeremy: "(in pain) That really smarts."
Dominic: "(in pain) But we're not going to surrender after an attack like that!"
The two shakily stand up as Alexander sends a Focus Wave.
Gele: "Deflect it for me."
The wave is sent straight to the sky.
Jeremy: "This isn't good."
Gele: "Now it's time for me to-"
???: "No!"
They all turn around to see Connor sweating and lying on the ground.
Dominic: "What're you doing-"
Connor: "(breathing heavily) I wasn't going to just wait in that closet while you two were getting your asses handed to you!"
Connor is beginning to have visions of himself writing equations.
Connor: "What are-"
???: "Then do you desire my power and save them?"
The burning sensation is now all in his head.
Connor: "(in pain) I need it to save everyone!"
Blue and black energy begins to erupt from beneath Connor as he begins to stand.
Gele: "Is his Stream Echo awakening now? You do realize that it won't help you."
Another blast is heading straight for Connor.
Jeremy: "Alexander!"
A Focus Wave counters the Guillotine Wave.
Dominic: "We won't let you stop him!"
???: "You shall be the first to tap into my power."
An older looking Echo in a light blue hue in a coat and holding a book loaded with mathematical equations appears behind Connor.
Connor: "I hear you loud and clear Einstein."
Dominic tosses Connor a blue watch.
Dominic: "Hope you're ready to fight Connor.
Connor puts it on and equips a blue suit like theirs.
Connor: "Let's go at him at full force!"
Dominic: "You two can fight while I pinpoint his weakness, Analyze Wave!"
Connor picks up a large branch.
Connor: "I guess it's time for me to see what my Stream Echo can do!"
Air around Connor begins to warp.
Gele: "So the surprises keep on coming. The student in my school with the lowest grades, Connor Linx, is the reborn genius Albert Einstein."
Connor begins to accelerate towards Gele.
Connor: "Quantum Wave!"
Connor lands a swing from his branch twice as fast as his speed.
Gele: "(bleeding) I didn't even see you coming."
Gele is sent flying a few meters.
Connor: "My Quantum Wave alters the way physics work a set distance around my body."
Jeremy: "So you're the Flash?"
Connor: "Pretty much."
Gele wipes some blood from his eye.
Gele: "So this Quantum Wave alters the laws of the universe? Perfect for our goal."
Dominic: "I've got it! He can't send guillotines in multiple directions!"
Jeremy begins to focus.
Jeremy: "So we're going to need to use a pincer strategy."
Connor: "I've got the right, you handle the left."
Jeremy: "On it!"
Connor begins to move at his super speed.
Jeremy: "Alexander, Focus Wave!"
Connor: "Einstein, Quantum Wave!"
Gele forms his Guillotine Wave.
Gele: "(in head) Which one do I hit?!"
He fires the wave towards Connor.
Connor: "Big mistake."
Connor dodges with no effort.
Gele: "N-No!"
Connor lands another swing into Gele's face, while a Focus Wave knocks him off his feet and ensures he can't get up.
Dominic: "Alright!"
Napoleon vanishes.
Gele: "N-No! I was so close to acquiring three more Stream Echoes!"
Jeremy: "Three?"
Jeremy picks Gele up by his collar.
Jeremy: "From what I could gather, the only two here you didn't have before were me and Connor, so who's this third one?"
Gele: "(chuckling) I think you can add two and two."
Jeremy drops Gele.
Connor: "There's another Stream Echo at this school?!"
Dominic: "Guys, the police are on their way. We should deactivate our Relay Gear."
The take off their suits.
Gele: "But she never showed up to the office and we figured that we could get you two then and grab her later."
Sirens are heard in the distance.
Connor: "Her?"
Dominic: "They're arriving quickly."
The police quickly arrive and apprehend Gele.
Officer: "Please tell us everything that just transpired."
Dominic: "(whispering) Don't mention Echoes and say something fairly normal."
Jeremy begins to explain the situation, but meanwhile...
Ashley: "What the hell did I just see?"
Ashley is stealthily looking from the side of the main building.
Ashley: "I get called to the office on Sunday and this is what I see?"
Ashley recognizes Connor and Jeremy.
Ashley: "What're those losers doing here?"
Ashley begins to walk back to her dorm.
Ashley: "I'm going to find something out about what the hell is going on."
However...
???: "Stream Echo signatures are on the rise in the town of Herris, where Matthias Ospinn was last seen seven years ago."
