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."
