Elementals: Techno Wars

Race Against the Clock

In TerraPrime City, Grimmus continued to watch the main computer to make sure nothing bad was happening to Neos and Sub; however, as he was watching, he noticed that their code was beginning to be somewhat pinpointed, which worried him enough for him to begin cyphering through the code himself with the hopes of figuring out what could've pinpointed them, and unfortunately, he quickly realized what it was.

Grimmus: No way... B-B-But it's only been a few minutes... He... He's already found them....

Meanwhile, in the digital world, Neos and Sub continued to walk through the streets of a coded TerraPrime, but for some strange reason, they kept getting the feeling they were being watched; however, being unable to see anything around them, they tried their best to shake off the ominous feeling and keep moving.

Neos: So, how do we find this panel thing anyway? I mean, it could be anywhere in here.

Sub: You're right. It could take ages to find it at the rate we're going.

???: Yes, and far more time than what you can afford to spare!

Neos and Sub looked around to see where the all too familiar voice they had just heard was coming from, but upon looking up into the sky which (like every other part of the digital world) was filled with fragments of code, they would be met with the last sight they wished to see. Glaring back down at them was none other than the eyes of Herobrine, and as they bared witness to the floating pair of eyes in the sky, the two males knew they had to somehow run away; however, Herobrine was something they were unable to run from while inside the digital world. Despite knowing this in the back of their minds, Neos and Sub continued to try running away anyway, but to the surprise of no one, in the midst of running, the coded ground they were running on began to swallow them, trapping them in place and dragging them down into the depths of the digital world, all while Herobrine began his signature taunting.

Herobrine: Why, hi there, Neos and Sub. It's been a minute since I've seen the two of you, who would've thought I'd see you here? I mean, stepping into my world and trying to defeat me? Every time I think you Elementals couldn't grow any more foolish, you somehow manage to prove me wrong. With that being said, I'm afraid you're too late. Steve's Delta element is being sucked dry from his body as we speak, and in just a few moments, it'll be all mine.

Neos: You're-

Herobrine: I'm what, Neos? Not gonna get away with this? Who are you, in the position you're in, to even attempt to make such a statement? Really, how stupid can you be?

As Herobrine spoke, his words seemed to grow more filled with annoyance and irritation by the second, almost as if he was offended that Neos and Sub believed they could delete him.

Herobrine: Do the two of you even realize where you are? Do you actually think you have a sliver of a chance at saving your friend? Did the two of you honestly believe that you could step in here and delete me?! This is my world!

As badly as they wanted to deny it, both men knew that what Herobrine said was true. They realized that they were at a heavy disadvantage, for they were very literally on his home turf. As all of this was going on, in the real world, Steve remained trapped in his chamber, still being drained of his Delta element, with the percentage bar on the computer now reading seventy-five percent. Steve was almost too deprived of energy to even stand at this point, and as he looked down at his limp hands, he gazed at the fading Delta symbol that rested on the back of his left hand, with Herobrine's last words to him ringing in his head the entire time.

Herobrine: You have no one that can help you. You are all alone.

Steve couldn't get those words out of his head, and as they continued to echo in his mind, he slowly started to lose faith in any hope of stopping what he was now viewing as the inevitable: Herobrine's victory. That is, until other words began to take over his thoughts; words he hadn't heard in years, but he could remember like he had heard them only minutes ago.
