Harry Osborn: Rebirth
Chapter 2 - Time to run!
Previous ChapterNext Chapter“Well I’m not sure if it will help, but this room has no walls.”
I didn’t even feel a tickle of panic. I have been in the difficult situations before and this one was no different.
Apart from the fact that this time I wasn’t shivering so badly. I looked at my hand. It wasn’t shaking. It was vibrating violently.
“What a …?”
“Later.” Shimmer had some exhaustion notes in her voice. “Look to your left. That’s the exit.”
“How can you be sure?” I was worried. And was I going to go through that wall?
“I’m inside your head. I see with your eyes, talk with you, but it drives me very tired. I won’t speak much from now on.” Sunset said these words and “disconnected” from me. I could feel it. A short pain in brain and I was on my own.
Could I trust her? Is she a friend or villain? That didn’t matter for now. She said Peter is in danger and that was all I needed.
Shake. Vibe. Trrr-trrrr-trrrr... My hand was going crazy. I tried to make a few steps. And I banged into the a wall. It was the wall Sunset told me was an exit.
But how did I do it? I moved across that room in a second’s fraction!
Later.
I have to find Sunset. She’s the only way to get to Peter.
“Well, lets hope it works.” I said to myself before closing my eyes and smashing a fist into the wall as hard as I could.
CLANG-BANG!!!
A loud sound reflected around the room. When I opened my eyes, something cut them.
“Argh!” I screamed.
Light! Of course! How could I be so stupid? The light hit me right into my eyes blinding me for a second.
“Harry! Where are you?” Sunset screamed inside my mind, putting me out of my pain.
“Me? I’m on my way. But could you say where should I go?” I was feeling annoyed. She didn’t even say me where she was!
“I’m in the central server room. I’ll guide you.” When she finished these words, she again disconnected.
“Great. Saying that she’ll guide me and leaving me alone God knows where.” I groaned to myself.
I walked out through the hole in the wall exiting into the wide corridor of some fictional spaceship. Or at least it looked like that.
“Left or right?” I tried to contact Sunset, but she didn’t answer. Well, now I was alone.
And as soon as I thought that, I heard screams and loud steps turning in from the right corridor. I waited. A few seconds later a large metallic robot appeared.
“Prisoner has escaped! Stand still, or you will be exterminated!” Practically screamed a machine, aiming it’s large hand-rifle onto me.
“Uh, okay?” I tried to reason with this robot.
“Command accepted, exterminate Prisoner.” Said the robot, clanging the rifle and charging it with some power.
“Oh Crap…” I said, but nothing happened.
I saw the robot take an aim, press the trigger, but rifle didn’t shoot. Or so I thought, before I understood that it was charging. I took few steps. Robot didn’t change his aim. The rifle made a long sound and I saw how plasma flew out of muzzle. But it shouldn’t be so slow. I felt a vibration. I looked down at my body and I understood one thing. It wasn’t going slow. The world didn’t slow down. It was me! I speeded up!
I took a few steps. Than took off running. I could feel how gravity’s pull weakened. I jumped on wall and ran some distance.
“ITS SO AWASOME!!!” I screamed and started running. I ran and ran and ran enjoying every moment of it.
I AM FAST! I AM STRONG!! Sunset Shimmer! How could I forget her? Few seconds might have passed, but it felt like minutes to me. I looked around for any sign’s or maps that could tell me where the central service room was. I used my speed to find it faster. It was really easy.
With just an idea I was switching my body speed like book’s pages.
Swift, soft vibration and I’m already faster than anything in the world! Central Server Room was just few floors away. I also felt how easier I could suck information in. It took me less than a second to memories the map. And I took off running. While moving along the Space Ship, I met several robots, but I was so fast that they couldn’t even sense me. In less than 5 seconds I came to the server room.
“Sunset, I’m here!” I screamed mentally to her, but realizing that she couldn’t hear me at this speed, I switched back into my “usual” speed.
“Sunset! I’m here!” I tried again.
“Help... please…” were the last words she told me telepathically and disappeared.
