Chapter 41
"I don't ask God for easier Situations;
Rather,
I ask a better me."
-Louis Stuarts

"We need to be quick!" Lia wanted to yell at the top of her lungs but nothing came out. Instead, she was left gasping for air. She felt helpless and pathetic. Never knew the lost of gravity will make her feel so weak in a fraction of seconds. When gravity was there, every day she had imagined the world without it, thinking it as an interesting challenge. But what she failed to understand was that life is no game. If you die here, you don't get 'start from last checkpoint', you don't see anything. It's like your part has ended and you, well no one knows what happens after death. Some say there is an afterlife, some say you go to heaven but what the reality is, no one knows and the creator neither thinks upon revealing. But everything in this universe feels so perfect, like decorated by someone for a purpose and there is a saying too-
You are here in this world for a purpose;
You can't leave earlier neither you can stay farther.
No, this is not a saying this is a thought. My thought. But why I'm feeling that it is reality?
"Lia! Lia!" A whisper. Right?
Aiz saw Lia standing still watching the magma coming out of the floor and burning the antique furniture and high tech machines. He was clueless at first that what's going on with her. He thought that she is scared. So he swam to Alrick and pointed at the floor. Since sound is not an option here, the only way left to make others aware of their surroundings is to go and show them. And that's what Aiz was planning to do.
"Becks had set up the uninstallment of the shields, so let's move toward it and by judging the situation, I mark that we have to make it quick." Alrick said and Aiz nodded with relief that at least whisper is an option left for communication.
Just when Aiz was about to turn, he felt a feather on his left arm. He turned and saw Alrick clutching his arm, breathing heavily.
"What's it dude? You okay?" He asked concerned.
Alrick shook his head and replied," No. Oxygen is almost absent in the leftover atmosphere. It's a deadly sign. Go and check Lia and mom. Female brains are unable to work properly at this amount of available oxygen. Males are more stabled, comparatively. "
Something clicked in his brain and Aiz swam wildly and quickly to Lia. He kicked the lamp that came in his way and it floated to magma and burnt like nothing existed. Aiz got hold of Lia's hand and yelled her name continously like a mad child. But still she was wearing an expression of deep thought in which her little reasoning was tangled.
"Shit! She must be hallucinating as her brain is not getting sufficient oxygen." Aiz murmured thinking about the consequences if they stayed in that situation for long. He shook his head and somehow managed to get Lia on his back.
She felt nothing to him, and his body seemed weightless itself. But the problem now was of breathing. The Gravity Falls is a vicious circle. Once you get trapped, you can never escape. Because then, your feelings will be tangled and your brain will be helpless. The only thing that can ensure survival is evolution. You have to evolve if you want to survive. Survival requires evolution. It marks the beginning of better race, the better genes of humans. It marks the birth of better humans. Once you escape it, you're more near to it. Remember -
Create your own destiny because Survival is the real truth.
Aiz shook his head and tried not to think about the words of Kilby. That devil was always preparing him for this and kept on saying those words in his ear. But one thing was peculiar about all this, if Kilby knew everything, then where is he? Had he lost his desire to live? No. He must have escaped earlier.
Aiz now focused his attention to the situation and prohibited it from wandering. He swam to Louis and told him everything who nodded in agreement. Louis looked at Aiz holding his sister and said," Since you have Lia, I will go and get Mrs. Watson."
"And I'll take Ben. " said Becks appearing from nowhere.
Becks and Louis both went and got hold of their captives. Mrs. Watson was the best among the three. She said she was preparing for all this. So the insufficiency of oxygen is not a big deal for her. She will not be hallucinating. On the other hand, Ben was fast asleep. But everyone was scared that he was unconscious because of some sort of disease caused due to lack of oxygen.
Alrick nodded at Aiz signalling that the time had came. Before going towards the exit door of cabin, Becks turned and saw....
Uninstallment.....
98% complete...
1 minute left.
They came outside and swam above the roof of the cabin that was four storey building. And then they saw something that made hair on their neck standing. The cabin was two inches in air. Floor was separated from the upper frame and the floor looked like a huge red cake.
"Is here anyone who likes cherry lake?" Lia yelled at the top of her voice. Her lack of reasoning completely visible.
"She's out of mind. Aiz hold her or else-" Louis warned Aiz to be careful with his sister but it was then he did a blunder. His hold on Ben got loose and he began falling in the lake of magma.
"Damn! Louis! You only had to let him fall at the angle at which he can directly fall in the magma." Smirked Becks. For the first time, Louis had been careless and there was no way he was going to leave the fun.
Ben's tiny body was falling quickly and everyone was staring helplessly. Ben was going to die and it will be Louis' fault. He shuddered at this thought and closed his eyes.
But the inevitable momentum was lost. Alrick smiled and saw the best thing he was expecting that day. Earlier in the cabin, he was looking at the trackers to see if Ray was somewhere near the cabin. But alas! There were no signal of any living being approaching the cabin and sadly Alrick had to accept that his brother was.....dead.
But now, just the moment before Ben's body falling into the magma. A figure had emerged and saved him. That figure swam towards them and everyone was staring at him with wide eyes filled with astonishment and happiness.
It was Ray.
"The time has come." Ray said finally handing Ben back to Louis.
