They were all quiet as they were so hungry and stuffed their mouths like there was no tomorrow and their very lives depended on it. While they gobbled up their food Marcellus tried to say something. Kenji and Zuberi watched with disgust to Marcellus who was telling a whole story while continuing eating.
'Dude, stop it!' Kenji couldn't stand it anymore and shoved his plate aside.
'So Kendric, do you have a plan?' Kenji looked at him as if Kendric had it all figured out. But he didn't! And Kendric felt pressured.
Well I am suppose to be the chosen one. But what the hell do I know? Maybe I can figure it out on the spot. Just roll with it... No that's stupid. They want to here me say something but what the heck am I going to tell them?
'I don't know,' he decided it was best to just respond clueless.
Zuberi just took a zip of his Coke and just like the first time they met, he again had Coke flying out his nose and mouth again. Zuberi couldn't stop laughing and the others joined him in exact the same response. Kendric laughed as if he had a toothache. He wasn't sure how funny this actually was since he really didn't had a clue what to do when they arrived in his hometown. After a while Zuberi caught his breath.
'Your dry sense of humour, I like it brother,' and he continued drinking his Coke.
'Actually, I was serious. I have no clue what to do, where to search for it in the museum and don't even know what it looks like.' Kendric felt ashamed to admit he was totally clueless about this mission.
Miss Bria joined them: 'Marcellus, let your UFO open up a widescreen.' Marcellus grabbed his backpack and took the little white UFO out. He whispered something to it and as soon as Marcellus finished it flew way up high. Kendric could only think about how it looked like a mini drone when it got activated. It was functioning as a projector now.
'Can I tap in on it?' Miss Bria asked Marcellus and he nodded.
'Good, so this is what you're looking for.'
In the projection light appeared a document with some strange looking symbols on it. Kendric could read them, it was like a chemical formula. Something about adjusting DNA. The others couldn't read it and they tried to look at the drawings on it so that they could recognise the document if they found it.
'We don't know where in the building she hid the document nor in what kind of object it lays. It could letterly be anywhere.' Miss Bria sighed.
'Could you tell us something about her? Maybe a bit how she was or operated? Maybe it gives us an idea about how she thinks.'
That was a smart question from Kenji. Kendric wondered why he didn't came up with it, he is after all the chosen one right?
'Who cares??? She is a traitor!' Maynard said negligent, nonchalant as he was...
They all rolled their eyes.
'Well tell us your idea than Maynard? How are you planning on finding it?' Kenji asked him while clearly being annoyed by him.
'That's easy, I will go in, search the place and if someone is on to us I use my apportation power. I will just disappear and reappear outside. You guys can take watch outside.' He looked like a snob while saying it but to Kendric it sounded actually like a good plan.
'Well it is a start, only one thing. You searching that place on your own, no idea of where it is, could take forever. We need to go in as a team and find it as quick as possible and we need Marcellus with his Telesthesia power.'
Marcellus agreed and Kenji made it clear he was all for going in together.
Miss Bria just listened and let them find the right strategy. She looked proud, as a proud mother would look at her graduating child. She then continued to the gadgets they had laying on their table. It seemed like all futuristic alien looking stuff to Kendric. She took a small square-shaped black object of the table and threw it in the air. It flew around scoping the place out. From the moment it scoped around they recieved some pictures in their mind of eachother. Kendric saw Zuberi like a tiktok movie was played in his mind. He looked at Zuberi if it actually was exact the same as in a livefeed and it was. Zuberi's eyes were wide open and he was doing the same thing to Maynard. They were all checking eachother out.
'As you probably noticed, this gadget looks for lifeforms, it can see through any material on earth. With this gadget you know who is inside a building, what the person is doing and pinpoints exactly where he or she is in the building.'
'Cool!!!' Marcellus was so impressed, 'can someone hack into it?'
Miss Bria looked indignant at Marcellus: 'I am sure there is a being in this universe who can. Although highly doubtful it will be anyone on earth.' Marcellus made himself ready as if she had just challenged him.
'Oh please, yes you probably can Marcellus. But don't you think we have better things to do now?' Miss Bria shook her head and rolled her white laser looking eyes again. Each time she did it, it looked like she was Cyclops from Xmen who didn't had his lasereyes under control and destroyed the whole room with it. Kendric had to laugh while he was picturing Miss Bria with her fingers on her forehead, her head spinning 360 degrees and destroying the whole messhall.
'You watch to much movies Kendric!' And she projected a tiktok kind of movie with her eyes in front of them, where she was Cyclops and destroyed the messhall with her lasereyes. She had Kendric in the role of wolverine who used his titanium claws to deflect her laserfire.
'You see, I like Marvel as well,' and she winked at Kendric, 'though I am more a DC comic kind of girl.'
They all rolled over from laughing with the tiktok movie she created.
'Cool power Miss Bria,' Zuberi stuttered while his loud voice laughed out loud and echoed through the whole messhall, 'can you make another movie of Maynard as X men Beast?' Zuberi couldn't breathe anymore from laughter, his laugh was infectious. The whole group did not recover.
Maynard wasn't amused at all. He got so angry that he suddenly disappeared only to reappear one table further. They all laughed even louder and Marcellus was screaming it out with tears in his eyes: 'So much for your plan with your 1 table apportation.'
Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.
Kendric was grasping for air: 'Please stop it! I can't breathe anymore.'
'Come on Maynard, just some joking around to lighten up the atmosphere. It's nothing personal!' Kenji assured him with his most serious face ever, only to burst out in laughter a second later again. Their stomachs hurt from all this joking around.
'S-A-V-A-G-E!!!' Marcellus, Zuberi and Kendric spoke out loud at the same time while Marcellus made a move as if he was on fire.
'Ok you all had your fun,' Miss Bria ended the stand up comedy show and decided to continue. She told them the gadget was called Udjat, and showed a symbol which was an eye with something dripping beneath it.
'The symbol of protection, royal power, and good health.' She said while looking at Kendric with one eye. It was apperently the Eye of Horus, an Egyptian hieroglyph. It made sense to them since it showed them what was inside pretty much anything. What could be safer than that?
'Now look at me carefully, this is how you can come back into the school,' and she made a fist with her right hand and made a movement like she was pulling a cord and than gave a punch with her fist.
'Remember that one, as it is the only way for you to come back to this place. Well that and ofcourse your energy which is synchronised with the building.'
She then created a portal. Which she actually did with her eyes.
'Wow your eyes actually are lasers!!!' And Kendric was even more impressed now. She was like his favorite new character and way above his normal heroes. He wanted to have lasereyes!
'Now go, be safe and be succesful.' They all walked through the portal and Kendric led the way.
As soon as they stepped through the portal they found themselves standing at lorch Portree, it must bin late since it was dark and quiet but he recognised his hometown. He only couldn't figure out while they were in Portree since the Staffin museam was no where close.
'How far is this thing Kendric?' And Marcellus looked around for the museum.
'It's not even in Portree. I don't understand, why did she brought us here? It takes like a half hour drive to get to the staffon museum, more than a 5 hour long walk! Are we suppose to walk?'
'Well it's not that Maynard can use his apportation 15 miles from here, he couldn't even reach the second table,' and Zuberi laughed again.
'Oh stop it guys, this is a serious problem. We don't even have a driver license!' Said Kenji with his most serious face on again.
'Why don't we sail?' And Marcellus looked at one particular sailboat down the Harbour.
He always wanted to sail. There was enough wind for them to sail up and it sounded better than hijacking a car or yacht although no one could explain why this was the better option. Kendric couldn't ask uncle Jerry for help or his parents for that matter. They didn't even remember he existed, let alone explaining all this. But Kenji looked with doubt at this ridiculous plan from Marcellus who already used his remote viewing to scan the sailboat and had his eyes closed to perceive the information.
'Don't worry Kenji, it's clear,' and he walked towards the sailboat. The group followed him and Kenji shook his head, who was obviously not fond of this idea but went along anyway.
Once they arrived at the dock, the sailboat layed in front of them and Kenji scanned the place afraid they get caught. Zuberi and Maynard were trying to untie the knot that tied the sailboat to the quai but somehow couldn't do it.
'Man this knot feels like it is rusted to it.' Zuberi complained while still pulling. Kenji and Kendric tried to help but there was no movement, no matter how hard they tried.
'Wait let me try with my telekinesis,' and Kenji stared intently at the knot. There it was, movement! They witnessed the knot loosen up bit by bit until the rope was loose.
'Well done Kenji!' And Zuberi padded him on the shoulder while he stepped onboard. They all followed and Kenji smiled proudly even though he still condemned this plan. It was kinda cool his powers were mastered enough to get it done. It was a start at least Kenji thought by himself.
'Has anyone ever sailed?' Zuberi asked while staring clueless at the sails.
'I do every summer with my dad,' and Maynard began to untie one sail. Kendric helped him out telling them he sailed in Portree with his uncle.
'Just listen to our commands and we will arrive safe.' Maynard ordered them. Since no one else had any clue what to do, they followed Maynard's orders and sailed away.
'Could you use your remote viewing to scout out the place there Marcellus, or maybe even find any clues about the whereabouts of the document?' Kenji asked him while acting out an order of Maynard.
'Just scope around in the area out there. If you can't do it, we send our gadget soon to gather information.' Kenji held the Udjat in his left hand.
Marcellus closed his eyes and acted out his breathing exercises from Master Batuo: 'Give me the coordinates!' But no one knew the coordinates.
'Can we start up a touchscreen here on earth like in school?' Maynard asked clueless as he was.
Marcellus sighed and got his laptop out of his backpack and looked up the coordinates. They all stared at him wondering when exactly he packed his backpack.
'What?' Marcellus noticed them watching him, 'jeez it's my laptop from earth! What did you think? I had it from school? Me and my laptop are inseperable. So when they knocked me out, my backpack was on me. I am a hacker remember?' And he grinned. He stuffed his laptop back in his backpack and closed his eyes again trying to gather as much information as possible.
'Well no one walks outside, it's small! Kind of cute building. But yeah, no records to inform us much more besides the surroundings and building than.'
'Well, we must do it the old fashioned way than. Look for it with our eyes.' And Kendric continued helping Maynard aboard.
After a while they were nearby the Staffon museum.
'Not much further now,' and Kendric saw what looked like a gate where they could sail through to enter Staffin Bay. Which was a big round cirlce with a little beach. They entered the beach and walked over it. A white house stood on their right side and they decided to walk up the hill. Marcellus informed them that it was a half our walk from that point to the museum. It was very dark outside, no lights to be found. They walked over what seemed to be hills, with very little light coming from just the house further away, it was hard to see.
'Can't we produce any light?' Maynard wasn't happy walking around blinded and the others thought about how to create light. It wasn't that they were Merlin and could do some magic. They didn't had their phones with them, only wearing their white bodysuites with nothing else on them beside their gadget.
Marcellus took his backpack and threw his little robot in the sky and said softly: "lumos"
'Seriously?' Maynard asked while stumbling on his own feet and laughed at Marcellus.
'What? I like Harry Potter.' Marcellus said.
Zuberi imitated Harry Potter with his magic wand instead of Mario who was jumping for coins and everyone had to laugh again.
'No seriously, where would we be without you little Mario?' Zuberi said while he gave him a box. At least they had a little bit of light now but it only helped to see a bit where they were walking, long distance they couldn't even see where they were heading. It was hopeless, how could they find their way without a compass, light, a map or whatever? How could they be so stupid not to pack anything for this journey? Why did nobody think of it?
All of a sudden, five orbs came flying in from out of the sky. They lighted the way and they could see the hills and a path.
'Our spiritguides!' Kendric looked up and felt his Grandmothers energy.
They walked a time in silence. Tensions were building up the more near they came to the Staffin museum. As they were almost there, they looked at Kendric. Kendric knew why, they were expacting some great master plan which he didn't had. He was still winging it. They all did...
