Chapter 5 - The Nexus of Hypnosis

While heading to wherever Zenios was going, I asked him

"The 18th and the 17th are my parents, and I am the 21st, but who is the 20th?"

Zenos looked back at me, smiled, and pointed at himself.

"Ah! We've arrived!" Exclaimed Zenos.

A towering cityscape was before us.

"This is the enemy's base." Said Zenos.

"What?! Why are we here?! Shouldn't we at least Rendez-Vous with the rebellion first?" I complained.

"No, we were assigned a mission to infiltrate the base and locate The Nexus of Hypnosis. This is basically a scouting mission, but an aggressive one. Watch!" After saying that, Zenos summoned a clone and ordered it to destroy the gate as we hid behind a bush. The cityscape was surrounded by colossal and thick walls, so our only way through was the gate. The clone self-destructed and made a hole in the gate. Two giant guards came out. They looked like bulls - no, they looked like minotaurs, the ones you find in RPGs and fantasy novels. Zenos jumped out and started running towards the gate and signed me to follow him. He then threw me a gas mask and wore his, I also wore mine. After that, he threw sleeping gas on the floor and ran into the city. We hid in a discreet place and took off our masks.

"Hey, Zenos. If we destroy the Nexus, will it free everyone?" I asked.

"Not really, The 19th controls about twenty people directly; we found out on the last scouting mission, the very first."

I nodded and said thanked him for the information and bid him farewell as when we infiltrated, I found the Nexus of Hypnosis on top of a skyscraper-looking building in the middle of the city. Zaretno created a clone with a self-destructing ability, copying Zenos's clone. Zaretno created a shield, and I wore it. I then pointed the shield in the direction of the clone, opposing where the Nexus is located. The clone self-destructed and I was sent flying in the air. I was going so fast that when I made contact with the Nexus, it broke, and now instead of flying upwards, I was falling down. I panicked and tried to think of a plan. I saw a palace-looking building and decided to land on it to fight the 19th.

+10 intelligence

+50 strength

+50 accuracy

After crashing into the building, I started shaking; I felt an ominous energy that was too great for my level - or so I thought at the time. Zaretno created a clone, but it diminished as soon as it was made from the 19th's massive energy.

"Stats" I mumbled.

"Okay," I said as I let out a sigh.

"Let's do this!"

The statistics screen retracted into Zaretno.
