Chapter 30: Catching Fire
5 weeks ago, President Snow's office
President Snow, a tall skinny old man with a neatly cut white hair and a well tainted suit took a sip out of his wineglass as he said to King Ghidorah.
" I'm really pleased with all you have done for us King Ghidorah. You have been a valuable asset to our project."
" Not at all. In fact, I should be the one praising you. By granting me access to your districts and permitting me limited authority over your peacekeepers, I am able to execute my Master's plans."
" I see."
President Snow lifts up his glass and he made a toast.
" A toast for our alliance! May our rule spread across the land for decades to come!"
Just as President Snow dunks the contents down his gullet, King Ghidorah turns around and he whispers through his comn.
" X. Are you there?"
Lake, water supplies of all 12 districts
Monster X knelt in front of the lake and he answers.
" Yes I am."
" You got the drugs with you?"
Monster X listens just as King Ghidorah questions through the comn.
" Got it."
Monster X replies as he lifts up a packet of drugs.
" Good. Now pour it into the water and get back to the mansion."
King Ghidorah instructs.
Monster X obediently pours the powdery drug into the water and he reports.
" Done."
" Good. Now get out of there."
Monster X quickly deactivates his comn and he disappears behind a bush.
President Snow's office
King Ghidorah deactivates his comn and he spun around, pausing just as President Snow walks up to him.
" Well King Ghidorah, it's been a pleasure working with you but something's just cropped up. So I better get going."
" Oh no worries. Just deal with it. I'll keep in touch with you."
" Great. I'll see you soon."
President Snow bids King Ghidorah farewell and he walks away, leaving the Ghidorah standing back.
Mansion
Ms. Mary sat on her chair, tapping at her desk as she stares at the two orbs in front of her.
" Oh my poor boys. That meddling Jennifer shall suffer just as her father did!"
Ms. Mary angrily vows.
Orga waves his hand and he attempts to calm her down.
" Oh calm yourself Ms. Mary. That girl will be dead faster than you can imagine."
Ms. Mary notices a small little ghostly girl with long raven black hair cladded in a red dress standing next to Orga.
" Um Orga, who's that girl with you?"
Orga turns to Sachiko and he introduces her.
" Oh. That's just Sachiko. I picked her up during my heist in that creepy Heavenly Host Elementary. She may seem harmless but if she wants to, she can gut you with her scissors."
" Scissors."
Ms. Mary stares at the bloodstained scissors held within Sachiko's hand and she remarks.
" Interesting. Her choice of weapon is similar to that of Bobby."
Orga hands a small wrapped lolipop to Sachiko and he ushers her out.
" Now run along. The grownups need to talk for a second."
Sachiko nods and she walks away, leaving Orga, Ms. Mary, Gigan and Megaguirus behind.
Gigan looks around and he said.
" Great. Now all we need are just Monster X and King Ghidorah to report back and we can truly begin."
" Begin what?"
Ms. Mary questions with a hint of curiosity.
Gigan sneers and he answers.
" Oh you will see."
RED Labyrinth
Jennifer sat back and she asks Amelia.
" Are we almost out Amelia?"
This time, Amelia replies back with a hint of fear in her voice.
" We are. But now, we have reached the RED Labyrinth."
" RED Labyrinth?"
Upon mentioning that, all of a sudden, a loud thud could be heard on the glass window, causing both Jennifer and Amelia to scream out in fright.
" AAAAHHHHHHH!!!"
" Jennifer...."
Jennifer pauses as she looks at the window.
A pale ghostly figure of girl has both her hands plastered onto the glass window, staring at her with tears running down her face.
Jennifer immediately recognizes her.
" Seiko?!"
" Seiko?"
Amelia questions.
Jennifer nods and she explains.
" Yes. She's a friend I met back in the school I work in."
Jennifer looks at Seiko and she questions her.
" Seiko. What has happened to you?"
All of a sudden, a loud malicious roar booms across the entire labyrinth, sending a chill down both Jennifer and Amelia's spine.
" Oh no..."
Jennifer looks back and what she saw causes her stomach to churn.
The very same demonic creature she has encountered back in the underworld is hot on their heels, but this time, he looks completely different than before.
Unlike his insectoid form, Red now possesses long leathery wings similar to that of a bat, donning a bat-like appearance.
Amelia grits her teeth as she pushes onto the wheel, increasing the plane's acceleartion in an attempt to escape the grasp of the demon.
Red narrows his eyes as he gave chase, flapping his wings across the air.
The intensity of the chase causes sweat to drip down her forehead, her muscle pulling with every twist and turn made.
Jennifer looks back and she screams out in terror.
" Amelia! Red's gaining on us."
Upon hearing that, Amelia dips one hand into her bag, desperately rummaging through it in search for an item.
" Look's like we've got no choice then."
Amelia pulls out a tablet and she passes it to Jennifer, instructing her.
" Take that artifact and point it right at Red!"
Without needing to be told twice, Jennifer races outwards and she slides open the window.
Just as Jennifer points the tablet outwards, all of a sudden, the tablet began glowing brightly, emitting a bright blinding light.
" NEARGHHHH!!!"
Blinded by the light, Red raises up his arms, shielding himself from the light.
However, that action began making Red take a detour, causing him to go into an opposite direction.
Upon seeing Red disappear towards the otherside, Jennifer smiles in relief.
" I think we lost him."
Amelia sighs a breath of relief and she said.
" Whew! That was a close one. Now hang on Jennifer, we're almost out."
Amelia then pushes her hands onto the wheel, increasing the plane's acceleration towards a tunnel.
They have officially escaped the world of Entropy!
Streets
Amelia parks the plane right into the middle of a deserted street and she said to Jennifer.
" Alright Jennifer, we're here."
Jennifer got off the plane and she thanked Amelia purposely.
" Oh thank you Amelia. I can never thank you enough for this."
" No, thank you. If it wasn't for your request to escape, I wouldn't have escaped that horrible world myself."
However, the feeling of happiness and relief was immediately switched to sadness as Jennifer questions.
" But.....what about the others back there?"
Amelia's expression immediately switches and she steps towards her.
The pilot rests her hand onto Jennifer's shoulder and she assures her.
" We will get them out. I promise you. Now do you have any places to go?"
Jennifer nods and Amelia smiles at her.
" Alright. You can go now."
" Thank you Amelia. I will never forget you."
Jennifer thanked Amelia once again before turning around, dashing through the streets.
After a long horrifying journey, Jennifer knew she must find Godzilla and the others immediately.
