Chapter 26. Suit up

'Charleze?' Kendric turned off the tv after they watched all the Avengers. Charleze looked at him with her beautiful angelic looking eyes.

'This was fun, I so needed this. Just chill and do nothing.'

'Me to. You wouldn't believe it but I am actually more busy now then I have ever bin in all those lives I've lived.'

'With what?'

'Helping people like you, guiding them, taking care of them. I also have this sidejob where I deal with troubled soules you know? Pick them up and stuff when they died.'

'I honestly never thought about who does such things. But I guess if you die suddenly or had a horrible death or something, you must be quite in shock arriving in the afterlife.

'Exactly Kendric, you get it! It's hard, they need time and a lot of explaining and convincing that their life truly is over.'

Kendric felt a great feeling of respect for Charlize. She was very special and he had never met a girl like her.

Suddenly Charlize became transparant like she was shifting between two dimensions.

'I guess our time as a materialised being is up. Come on, let me get you back at school. She opened up a wormhole and took him by the arm. They transported back infront of the school.

'Remember Kendric, I am always with you. Just one shout away!'

She smiled and then disappeared. Kendric looked up and saw his grandmother smiling down upon him and she disappeared also.

He went inside the school and in the hallway he bumped into Cahya.

'There you are, I've bin looking everywhere for you!' Cahya said.

'Hey Cahya, what's up?' He asked while feeling so relaxed. For the first time in weeks he felt charged, filled with energy and his mind was at peace.

'Kendric?'

Kendric was apperently so relaxed that while Cahya was ranting about his absense in classes today he had daydreamed all the way through.

'Helloooo? Are you coming?'

'Ah man, I'm hungry. Let me eat first!'

He walked to the messhall to have himself a Big Tasty menu with a large Coke. If his stomach was up for it he planned for some Ben & Jerry's Cookie dough as dessert or maybe a McFlurry snickers. Tough choice, maybe he try to eat them both. He felt Cahya's eyes burning in his back while he walked to a table. The whole messhall was empty. Apperently everyone was training or meditating or doing whatever. Kendric didn't care. He didn't felt any pressure at all. He thought about Tony Stark aka Iron man. He loved Mister Stark. He was so careless, just himself and he didn't care what others felt about him or when they always seemed to want something from him. He just always did his own thing. Kendric planned to follow his example. Do what he loves and what he loved right now was eating! Well that and that sick playstation hologram whatever thingy in their dorm which he wanted to play since the day he had arrived at Anunnaki High. How come he haven't played it already? Kendric wondered how he could forget all those weeks about the game in their dorm. Apperently he went straight to bed each night, so exhausted...

After 15 minutes, a big tasty menu, McFlurry Snickers and a Ben & Jerry's further, his stomach felt finally satisfied. Cahya stared at him the whole time.

'You know that's your greatest power right?', she said while she had this cute little smile on her face with the cutest dimples in her cheeks, 'your eating, wow, how to call it? Can't call it a disorder right? Maybe... no, just no words. It's sick! But if we had a food competition, you would definitely win!' And Kendric smiled at her.

'Cahya can I ask you something?'

Cahya waited for his question. He didn't noticed how beautiful her eyes were until now. As if she looked right through you soul.

'How do you deal with this all? I seem to have uhm... some troubles dealing.' He felt such a shame coming over him for saying it out loud, but at the same time he felt Cahya was the one to talk to about these things.

'I don't. Where do you think I am in our free time?'

Kendric thought where he saw Cahya outside their classes but he didn't. He assumed the girls just hang out with eachother somewhere in their dormitory or something. He raised his shoulders, not having a clue what Cahya exactly did.

'I am either studying in the library or training in the trainingroom which is made for people with my ability.'

'There is a library?'

'Kendric are you kidding me? Are you saying that after meeting Mes-Sanuri or learning about Master Uruk's wife, you didn't felt the urge to learn more about them?' Cahya rolled her eyes and opened her backpack. She took out an ancient scroll.

'Did you steal that?' Kendric asked her, not sure if he had mistakenly put Cahya into the holy person category.

'Duh, it's not that I have my phone to take pictures.'

Kendric laughed and sat down next to her to see the ancient scroll. He inmediatly recognised Mes-Sanuri. She was scary beautiful. Somehow if she talked he felt safe and peacefull. He began to read underneath the drawing. Their it was:

The Sanuri have the magical ability to travel through planes. In doing so they've evolved into interdimensional creatures. Be warned, do not come in contact with their queen Mes-Sanuri (see drawing above), as she works as a nuclear bom. Toxins are coming out of her body and within a range of unknown miles you will be affected and feel her attraction which you can't resist. This will make you obligated to listen to her every word, in matter of minutes your soul will be craving her. Even if you manage to escape, your soul is affected and in the long time, will not forget her, crave her for an eternity. This longing for her will continue and go as far that you will do whatever it takes to find her. The obsession will grow over time beyond every human obsession known to men. Her virus works in mysterious ways, further in my journal you will find some stories of the people I have witnessed overtime and their extreme actions to find Mes-Sanuri. She is like a hyve Queen, calling on her little bees to fly home.

'It's J.P. who wrote this. I am still searching for his journal, looked everywhere in the library but I don't think it's there.' Cahya put the scroll back in her backpack.

'Are you infected Kendric? Do you feel weird things for her?'

'I don't know. To be honest I haven't thought much about her, hence I haven't searched for information about her. When I was with her, I felt this weird sensation. The need to hang on every word that rolled out over her lips. To believe her, to trust her. But since then, I am just afraid of her.'

Kendric staired at the ground, feeling ashamed and scared at the same time. He thought about uncle Jerry's birthday, the day this whole thing started. And then it hit him.

'I may have an idea where his journal is!' Kendric yelled and flew up from his chair.

Cahya looked somewhat suprised and overwhelmed by Kendric's over enthousiastic reaction.

'We need to go to my uncles home, back in Portree. I had it in my hands Cahya, I saw it. It was the clue that kicked this adventure off, which set everything in motion! I thought it was a photoalbum, there was nothing to see in there but his initials were on it. But a photoalbum without any pictures??? No, that doesn't make any sense. When the sun hit a page I saw a clue lighten up through his initials.

To look into the future you first need to see the past.

Yes that was it! It must be his journal. But wait, it was empty? Well maybe we just need some special light or something else to see what's in there. But this page of yours, it's from his journal? The pages in their weren't like this scroll at all. Maybe he just wrote some scrolls for the library with important information that he learned over the years?'

'Kendric, breathe!!!' Cahya said to him while holding him by the shoulders.

Man, his head was spinning around. But there was no time to waiste!

'Come on, let's go to Portree!'

'Uhm, I don't wanna be a partypooper. But how are you planning on going home?' Cahya asked him while she had this serious frown on her face.

Kendric sat down quiet for a while. He honestly had no clue how to go home. It wasn't that he could let a wormhole appear like Miss Bria or Charlize for that matter.

'Should we ask Master Uruk?' He asked Cahya but Cahya laughed.

'Are you crazy? If he wanted us to have more knowledge, he would've told us right?'

Cahya had a point. They did explain some things about Mes-Sanuri. Sure if they wanted to share more they would've. And after their encounter with the Negatives, chances were slim to none that he would give them a green light for this mission.

Maynard, Zuberi and Marcellus stepped through the wormhole and walked up to Kendric and Cahya.

'What's up?' Marcellus asked.

Kendric stared at Maynard.

'Dude, this is awkward man!' And Maynard threw a french fries to his face which he just ordered.

'Come on!', Kendric flew up of his chair, 'what are you waiting for? I have an idea how to get to Portree.' And he ran through the wormhole followed by Cahya. The guys looked at eachother and pulled up their shoulders and ran after them.

'Kendric, where are we going. What do you mean with Portree?' Zuberi asked him while running after him.

But Kendric had no time to explain. He ran through the hallways to the loading dock. Kenji walked down the hallway and asked them what they were up to. The guys made a gesture he should come along and Kenji ran after them, curious to find out why they were in such a hurry.

They found themselves in front of the lasergrid which was the only way in to the hangar.

'Kendric, what are we doing here?' Zuberi asked.

Kendric didn't listen and stepped through the lasergrid.

Kendric Origins, confirmed. Access granted.

A robotic voice said and he could step out of the lasergrid.

'Well that was easy!', he commented while being flabbergasted of how easy it went, 'let's fly!!!' He said while standing in front of the spaceship where they had their first practise in.

'You got to be kidding right? You wanna hijack a spaceship?' Cahya asked him.

Kendric nodded and opened the door.

'Marcellus, hack this thing. Give us access to fly with it. Overrule Jane or whatever is necessary to get us to Portree.' Kendric was out of breath of excitement.

'Kendric stop! Tell us what this is all about.' Zuberi said to him with a calm but clear voice. He demanded some answers and Kenji agreed.

Kendric told them about the journal in uncle Jerry's house. Meanwhile Marcellus was busy typing on his laptop which he had hooked to the ship.

'Pull on your suits guys, it's time to fly!' Marcellus said with a big smile on his face.

Kendric tapped him on the shoulder and sat down in the pilots seat. Maynard joined him. They got hooked to the ship through their suits and started the engine. Kendric looked at Maynard and they both understood what their mission was.

'Are you guys sure you can fly this thing?' Cahya asked them.

'Yeah, we already had our flying lessons when you girls were having a spa day. Some of us actually are here to learn.' Marcellus joked and pulled up his woozy face again.

They all sat in their seets with their collars hooked up to the spaceship and flew out of the dock.

'Marcellus, lead us the way.' Kendric ordered him.

Marcellus took a deep breath in and exhaled. The map was shown on the screen right in the middle of the windshield. It zoomed in right on Portree, further and further until... There it was, Uncle Jerry's place. Marcellus used his power like it was the new and improved version of Google Earth. He flew through the streets around uncle Jerry's house. A group of people talked to eachother on the corner. He went through the frontdoor right into Uncle Jerry's house and checked the place out.

'Upstairs, in the office.' Kendric said while flying the spaceship.

Marcellus went up into the office and scoped the place out.

'It should be there in the bookshelve. A photoalbum, with a white bookcover.' Kendric felt adrenaline racing through his body.

'Take it easy Kendric, keep the ship steady.' Maynard warned him. He could feel Kendric's adrenaline racing through his own body and it effected their flying skills.

Your powers are so cool my young brother!' Zuberi said while admiring Marcellus his remote viewing power.

'Your hackingskills also. You just hacked an alien vessel!' Kenji added.

Marcellus grinned. From all the hacks he did, this one was the most awesome.

'Where do we land?' Maynard asked while staring at the map.

'We can't be seen guys. What will people think?' Cahya noticed.

Cahya was right, they needed to find a safe place where to land without anyone noticing them.

'I have an idea. It's on the hill, there is a place that must be big enough to land without anyone detecting us. Believe me, no one ever climbs up that hill. Only me ofcourse.' And Kendric grinned.

'Could you dimm down the lights Marcellus while landing?' Kendric asked him.

Marcellus nodded and his fingers flew over the keyboard again.

'We arrive in 5 minutes, brace yourself for impact.' Maynard said while laughing like a madman.

'Is he serious?' Cahya asked the guys. They all pulled up their shoulders and Kendric grinned at Maynard.
