vicinity, it sent the buildings around us to demolish and crumble.

As the dust cleared into nothing my glitch was fully satisfied and released my body. I felt dizzy and hungry for energy and then the guilt shot at me, made my stomach churn and nauseated my senses. What did you do? I thought carefully to myself. The environment around me was a rumbled mess of what looks like something reminiscent of an atomic bomb.

I faced my other guild members, Brett, Ray, Randeep and Coleen with the face filled with both panic, fear and guilt. They seemed reciprocate all of them except the guilt.
“Where’s Tristanio?” I asked to break the ice.
“You killed him. He’s not part of our guild remember, he’s not immune to your powers. That big boom thing you did wiped him out completely.” Randeep replied. I let the thought sink in, I knew Trist was old enough to be able to get over it quickly, hoping anyway, but that still didn’t shake any of the guilt.
“That was wiped, it was scary as hell, but total awesome.” Randeep said again a bit more optimistic.
“What the hell is happening Will? You feeling pain, no anitbodies?” Coleen asked, I told them what Rune told us, how it confirmed all of what Amy said, about some Gespo members hiding behind minors to collect powers, altering the games outcome. But still there seemed to be no motive, and we didn’t know exactly what we were up against, but I had feeling it is closely connected to my glitch problem, and Brett. Everything seems to lead to Brett, everything about him was more and more suspicious, the way he’s not even saying a word now, looking dumbfounded at the rubble. Rachel and Trist logged backed in and we filled Trist in on the news, he seemed to accept my apology and he also told us about his guild disappearing and a guild member Nicolae whom he had his suspicions for, he wanted to join us as we all agreed unanimously to find out more. Something tells me that we wouldn’t have to look far, Rune said he was after my power so surely he will be looking for me.

“Where can we start?” Rachel asked.
“Someone who has had experience with the Gespos before?” Coleen suggested. Then it came to me, we know a guy. A ruthless, possibly one of the most rebellious person out of the Gespo circle who had been involved with them but was given a warning on the account he was manipulated.
“I know someone, Ray you’re gonna like this. We need to pay him a little visit to get your Psionic powers back anyway.” I said, he smirked back with glee.
“Joel The Dragon Master? Are you sure, Will? That was quite an extensive battle can we even get past his... pets?” Rachel said with a tone of worry.
“Sure we can, we’ve got plenty of replenishments to keep us going.” Ray was both excited but blinded by his fuel for revenge to actually question if we could get past Joel’s dragon pets.
“You do realize you’re the one that’s going to have to fight Joel to get your power back don’t you Ray?” Brett finally spoke.
“Yes.”
“Well, let’s face it, you got beaten by a few kids. How the hell you meant to kill Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego plus Joel himself.”
Ray’s face boomed with anger.
“Those kids ambushed me.”
“Completely destroyed you more like.” Brett’s goading worked. Ray squared up to him trying to intimidate him with his ‘badboy’ stance.

“Ar ais Ray.” Trist commanded with a spell, pushing Ray away from Brett before anything started. Just as that happened something took us by surprise. Orbs collected into a shiny figure, a girl, the same girl that was once taunting us into battle, that told us how she wanted to bite us in the diner meeting we had with her and Rune. But it wasn’t that girl anymore. It was a scared child, a frantic fearful face hiding behind the long bright blonde hair that danced in power not long ago. It was a surprise to the rest of the gang to think that any of the kids would log back here while we were still around, but I knew she wasn’t here for taunting, she was here for help.

“Look, I’m way over my head here. At first this was a game, but I don’t want to play anymore.” She said.
“You don’t have to anymore. Please tell us, what’s happening?” Coleen said in her usual warm motherly voice.
“He told us, this british man. He told us that we will be saved if we did what he was told, and if we didn’t. We would be killed… in real-life. He knew where we all lived he had our parents names even some of our pets names. He asked to kill you lot, he told us that there would be no Antibodies, but he never told us that there would be pain.” She revealed.
“Did he tell you his name? Or what would happen if you didn’t kill us.” Coleen asked.
“No name, no he didn’t tell us his name. He said he wanted us to aim for the kill, but he expects us to lose. There was money involved if we did manage to kill you and take the power. He also told us to give you this.” She held out her small shaking hand. “Item twenty-four” and a small piece of paper manifested on her palms. She passed it to Coleen who read out the words.”

The Collapse Is coming. You can’t stop it, Will.
All my love,
S.I.

“We heard rumors, that he was a religious person, but I don’t know. I don’t know anymore… I’m sorry. I was only supposed to leave the paper.” She said. She looked like she was about to whimper and cry.
“Are you sure there isn’t anything else?” I asked.
“He mentioned that, your guild member, him.” She pointed to Brett. “He was on his side and will help us if we said a word to him, I can’t remember well.”
“Liar.” Brett spat. He took long strides towards her.
“It’s what he said, I’m not lying.” The girl coward away from her as he got dangerously close.
“Trist!” I pleaded, I can’t use my power against him, he’s a immune.
“Ar ais Brett.” He casted and he flew backwards away from her. He got up again, I could see the glitch in his eyes, it had him in an internal grip.
“Brett! Stop!” We all tried to intervene, grabbing his shoulder.
“Calamity was the word!” She shrieked and he stopped still. Head not moving, eyes not blinking, chest not breathing. It was like switching off a robot.
“Brett?” I asked. His head shot towards the girl and his eyes started to pierce her wide frantic iris. The girl started to hyperventilate, then came moans of pain and a full outburst of disturbing screaming. Like she had just seen a dead body, or something that was the shock of her life. The screaming was loud and harsh, she wasn’t in pain, this was all emotional. The screaming was heart wrenching but I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know what was happening let alone how to stop it.
Ray did the only thing he knows best. He punched Brett in the face and it snapped Brett out of his trance. The girl just curled into a fetal position on the floor and was squirming like a feral child. Brett took teleported before any of us could have asked him anything.
“Omigod what happened?” Coleen said as she comforted the girl in her arms and started to rock her. I was right all along, I felt guilty for being suspicious like I was two-faced friend, but now I was just disgusted with him.
“He must be with the Gespos.” I said.
“No I’m sure there is a perfect explanation about this.” Rachel intervened.
“Rachel! Look at this girl, look what he did to her! I’m sorry but I have to agree with Will this time. I don’t care if you’re seeing him.” My disgusted suddenly grew larger and larger. Rachel looked back at me scared.
“I’m not seeing him. I promise.”
“Save it. You and Brett are always late, or both too tired. I’m sure I’m not the only one who noticed that Brett and Rachel are always the last to log in, first Rachel arrives, then about twenty minutes later Brett arrives almost every time!” Coleen sounded venomous, the shaky catatonic girl in her arms had really gotten to her. Gotten to all of us, but it didn’t seem to affect Rachel… I didn’t want to think about her but Coleen’s accusations made sense, I’d been worrying about Brett’s absence and lateness that Rachel’s didn’t even occur to me.

“I’m not. I promise. You guys are always jumping to conclusions.” And she floated into orbs, logging herself out. I couldn’t care less. Everyone else looked back at me, expecting a reaction. No forget this, forget Rachel and forget Brett. He can run off and play games with his new found friend S.I. whoever the hell he is. I’m going to help this kid, if the Antibodies can’t catch this guy. I will. Imprint
