The king laughed, and dragged Vor's table close to the machines that the Irregulars were attached to.
Drax: Hoo, pretty hard for a king, eh? Doing all the work for the people.
Vor: *Mmphf*
Drax covered Vor's mouth shut because he won't stop screaming "Let me go!"
Drax: There are people I hired to do this.. I wonder what takes them so long..
Vor: *MMpmPMhF*
Drax: Hmm, you have a party, correct?
Vor: MMMMMF
Drax: Oh, right. Well anyway, you have a very, very talented group. All of them are peculiar. Seriously, their physical skills are unmatched, except the one with the scythe. He has a lot of guts, but apparently, he's just all bark and no bite. Now, it's your turn to.. share. Hahahahahaha....
----------------------------------------
The people inside the tower started running.. well, you already know why.
Nyx: RAAAAAA!
Xiel: Nyx! Calm down, we won't get Vor back if you continue on going berserk like the last time!
Nyx: I AM CALM! IF I WEREN'T, THIS TOWER WOULD'VE BEEN DESTROYED MINUTES AGO!
The reason why the tower wasn't destroyed yet was because Nyx's shockwaves bounces off the tower's wall. No wonder, because this Rail station is the main one so heavy fortifications are bound to be installed somewhere in this tower.
Nyx: DAMN IT! WHY THE HELL ISN'T THIS WALL BREAKING!
Xiel: NYX! STOP SLASHING, IT ALMOST HIT ME!
Suddenly, everyone heard an explosion. The door exploded, and someone came in. No, some people came in with helmets and vests.
Nyx: WHY THE HELL IS THERE AN ARMY HERE?!
Reus: Their clothing is.. unusual. I thought they were all wizards here?
Then, the armored people took out another resemblance to Nyx's world, a gun.
Nyx: Damn, they have a gun here?!?! Reus, Xiel, GET DOWN!
Reus: You know, guns are pretty common. What do you me-
Xiel pulled down Reus and took cover, Nyx on the other hand, tanked all that they fired.
The gun did not fire bullets, instead it fired.. well, fireballs. Tiny crystallized balls that are coated by fire. The fireballs aren't the only thing that's weird though, the guns also striked Xiel's attention.
Xiel: Uhh, Nyx? Are you ok?
Nyx: I hope not, damn it.
Xiel: Look at the guns.
Nyx: Yep? Oh, oh, I see it.
They were having a leisurely talk while Nyx gets shot at by magic fire bullets. We'll just call it bullets from now on.
Xiel: Those guns are like the ones that I saw in Paranom!
The guns had these magically fortified glass, and the bullets weren't reloaded by clips, it was by those metal spheres. The spheres were also see through, and you can see what type of element it can fire. Let's say it was fire, the sphere will look like it was burning on the inside. And for water, air, grass, etc.
If you pull the trigger, the sphere will release a little bit, then it will fire through a little hole inside the gun, making the element that is released get crystallized and then gets fire off.
Nyx was observing this while still getting shot at.
Soldier (1): Is his... is his attribute Null?!?
Soldier (2): I don't know, but even though, the crystallized bits would've go through him. Why the hell is he still standing?!
Soldier: No, look, he has regeneration as a Guise. We'll take care of this.
Nyx could see it because his eyesight is basically perfect. They reached that state and diseases were no more in Nyx's old world. Everyone, and every part of their body is at top peak, except the brain. The brain is the only one differentiating the people living in his old world. Although it took 5 minutes before Nyx could finally figure out how the guns work.
Soldier (3): You know, bullets doesn't work on people that has a quick regeneration Guise. We often killed those people by stabbing them to death.
Soldier: Well then, bring them in.
The Shinobis that took Vor suddenly popped up behind Xiel and Reus, hostaging them alive.
Shi (1): Alright, alright. You know what to do. Stand down or I'll slit this girl's throat.
Nyx: I wasn't even doing anything.
Shi (2): Shut up. Knees on the ground.
Xiel and Reus knew this was going to happen sometime, that's why they already planned what they need to do.
Nyx dropped down, and put his hands up in the air.
Shi (1): Dude, what the fuck are you doing?
Nyx: Isn't this how you restrain people?
Shi (2): Uh, no. Not really.
The soldiers then went in, and grabbed Xiel and Reus. The shinobis then went and chained Nyx's neck like a dog.
Nyx: ...The fuck are you doing to me?
Shi (2): Stand down, or we're going to kill them both.
Nyx looked at Xiel, and Xiel gave a thumbs up. "Is that a signal?" Nyx thought, and just went with it.
He reversed his time, and the chain that once strapped his neck is now strapped to his feet.
Shi (1): Wha-? I told you to stand down.. Alright, slice them.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
The guards simultaneously took out a knife, and slit Xiel and Reus's throat.
It didn't work.
Xiel vanished, revealing that the one they slit was a clone. Reus, on the other hand, wasn't affected by the knife at all. In fact, the knife even broke. And now, the Calm and Serious Reus that Nyx knew had glowing eyes and his skin darkened. Reus let out an evil grin, while Nyx got beheaded by one of the shinobi's katana.
Nyx: WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU USE THAT "FORM" OF YOURS TO HELP ME AT THAT TIME WHEN I WAS FIGHTING THOSE HOODED GUYS?!?
Reus: Ah, I felt like you had it under control.
Nyx: Then why didn't you use it when you were escaping?
Reus: This form is really heavy, you know. I don't want to be a burden in their escape plan. Just regenerate already.
Nyx popped out a new body, and quickly stood behind Reus. They were surrounded by soldiers that all have guns and knives.
Reus: Should we leave out a survivor to tell us where did they take Vor?
Nyx: Good point.
Xiel then showed up at the corner with a bunch of knives, and she jumped to the ceiling. She then summoned a bunch of clones and have the clones get one knife and quickly jump and drop down the ceiling. The soldiers didn't have time to react, and a lot of them got impaled with a knife on their heads.
Reus also attacked by swinging his axe in a circular motion and by jumping and landing while laying down, like a wrestler. Reus's weight crushed the soldiers that he landed on, and damaging the other ones by wrecking the floor that made a huge shockwave. Reus also was shouting while doing so. The floor also got magically fortified, and it didn't break overall.
Nyx returned the favor to the shinobis that slashed his head. He grabbed a shinobi by the neck, and threw him where Reus was landing, crushing him. The other shinobi then teleported again behind Nyx, and stabbed Nyx with his katana while teleporting in order to dodge Nyx's hand. Nyx, irritated, quickly revealed and pulled out his scythe and swinged it in a motion like Reus', cutting the shinobi in pieces. Finally, less and less soldiers came in, and in order to shorten their time, Nyx jumped upwards, and Reus and Xiel went below him. Nyx then tried and slash his scythe n a circular motion again, but this time, he slashed it hard enough to create dark waves. The waves then came in every direction away from Nyx, and because of the magically fortified wall, the waves then bounced off the walls fast. Reus changed back to his original form in order to dodge the waves, and every soldier that was inside the tower was destroyed.
Nyx: Are those all of them?
Xiel: No. I saw a lot of reinforcements still on the way when I was busy gathering knives.
Nyx: How the hell did you even get those knives?
Xiel: You know, while they were closing in on the both of you, I took the opportunity to create a clone and quickly hide. I can move really, really fast so while there were no soldiers blocking the only exit there, I quickly ran and gathered knives. I ran normally, pretending that I was also an escapee. You could figure out the rest after that.
Nyx: So you all have abilities, huh.. why didn't you use that in the dungeon?
Xiel: I did use mine, but you were on the other side of the dungeon. Reus doesn't really want to use his though, because it's too heavy.
Reus: I get a little dazed if I use that form though...
Nyx: Oh shit, we have to move. You guys are in danger.
He then ran to the door, and within just a second of stepping outside, he got shot in the head with an air bullet.
Nyx: Shit, now snipers?!?
The bullet that the sniper use was an Air bullet mixed with Grass. The Air bullets also get crystallized, but because they have the element of air, the bullets become fast enough to shoot through even if you're far away, that's why the soldiers are using that element while sniping, The Grass element makes it more lethal, Nyx thought.
Nyx: Damn, that hurts.
Xiel: Alright, you guys protect me, I'll confuse them.
She cloned tens of herself, and they all went out the same time. The snipers, confused, tried to shoot down the clones but eventually failing because the clones moved really fast. Xiel then released all her clones, gathered knives off of the impaled soldiers' heads and cloned tens of herself again. The clones then killed the snipers and killed some reinforcements.
Reus: Nice. Wait.. shit, we didn't leave one alive.
Nyx: Oh yeah, I kinda forgot...
Xiel: Well, my clones have checked all the places. There were no signs of Vor, the only place I haven't checked yet is that S.M.A.R.T building.
Reus: S.M.A.R.T?
???: Superficial and Magical Advanced Research Technology Building. Seriously, we tried so hard to search for a word that would represent the "S" in that acronym.
Nyx: Now who the hell is this guy?
???: Apparently, superficial means outer or external. So, it kinda works, you know? My name is.. wait, I'll reveal it later. Nice to meet you.
Reus: Keep your guards up, this guy's strong.
???: Hehe, I wonder how that guy stayed alive.
He pointed at Nyx, and Nyx, confused, asked what is he talking about.
Nyx: Uhh, are you talking about me?
???: Yep, the one who got has no elemental attributes at all. You're special. But in this world, specially disabled.
The mysterious man showed up a copy of Nyx's card:

???: We know everything about your rails, that's why we found your blessing disguised as your brother. Seriously, I thought there were no irregulars this decade. But seriously though, this is the first time that someone in this world could actually be this inept. 1% in everything? Seriously? Hahaha.
Nyx: Ok..?
???: How the hell did you survive this long? Did you cower and hide behind those two? By the way, I haven't seen the Rails of those two yet.
Nyx: Are you trying to provoke me?
???: What is there to provoke? You? Don't make me laugh. Anyway, your brother is in that building. The King heard the news that his men keeps dying one by one, and now he has no choice but to take your brother as hostage. Go there quickly though, or else we're going to "Suck" your brother up dry. Not in a weird way, fuck, that sounds so bad.
Reus: Nyx, this is a trap.
Nyx: Yeah, but they don't know who I am, yet.
Xiel: So, we're charging straight at the enemy lair?
Nyx: Basically.
Xiel: As long as you keep the bullets away from me, I'm going.
Reus: Well, I guess so.
???: Well, I'll be expecting you. And also the inept guy. I wonder what's your guise, hmm.
The man then jumped to the top of the building that the sniper was on, and then kinda jumped from building to building.
Nyx: Where's the S.M.A.R.T building, anyway?
Xiel: Just.. follow me.
----------------------------------------
Drax: And it seems that my best knights are on the case. As we speak, they're already on this building. They've managed to divide themselves in each floor, it's probably a bad idea and they could've just ambushed them right away but they said that it's for the suspense factor, or something. They're pretty sure that they won't even make it here.
Vor: ...
Drax: Are you still sad because of what I did? Aw, come on..
In order to move Vor from the table and into the other with tubes, Drax needed to paralyze Vor. He did this by adjusting his electric attribute into a non lethal shock, but the one that is getting shocked will still feel pain. Vor had to endure several shocks because he couldn't be paralyzed, and Drax kept increasing his attribute, multiplying the pain that a normal non lethal shock would do until Vor is immobilzed.
Drax: So, you want to bet who'll die first?
(You're going to need me.. I can control your power.. Don't restrain me.. again..)
Vor: A..a..lright...
Drax: Wow, really? Ok, so who will?
Vor: I.. I ne..ed.. you.. r..ig..ht no..w..
Vor's eyes changed and he looked at Drax, and laughed.
Drax: The hell's wrong with you?
Drax punched him right in the face, but Vor still kept laughing.
After laughing, Vor suddenly moved and put his face close to Drax and he let out a grin.
Drax: Wait.. what? How the fuck can you move?!
Drax kept shocking and shocking him, but Vor didn't respond to the shocks. He then let out a cheerful voice and said..
Vor: So! You wanna bet who'll die first?
His hand lit up in flames and broke the Null chains that he was strapped on.
Drax: What the.. FUCK?!?!
Vor: Now, now, no need to be surprised. I like what you've done with the place, really, now that I'm finally looking at it with my own eyes.
His burning hand grabbed Drax's neck, burning him in the process.
Vor: Oh wow, it seems like you're the first one to die. Now, what do I win?
He's holding the burned corpse of the king and threw it on the side. The Irregulars inside couldn't look but they knew that they could finally be free, at last.
Vor: Ah, I'm finally back. Hahahaha.....
He didn't mind the Irregulars, and left them all there. He thought that if he burned them all down, this city's charm would be gone.
Vor: 5th underground floor, am I right? Time to reunite with my brother.. hahahahaha.
His blue eyes changed into red, and he looked up, with an unsettling grin from ear to ear.
Vor: I'm finally free.
