"Well, you said you could turn into a stone man, for up to half an hour, and it takes half an hour to replenish? You had an hour's worth of a break, so you can use your ability again, right?" Ben asked.
Mr. Waltermoor raised his left eyebrow as he answered, "I did not reflect anything or get damaged in any way, so my ability is good to go. Why, what do you have in mind?"
Ben looked at Zenix and then to everyone in the room, "For this, I will need you, Mr. Waltermoor, Zenix, Noah, and maybe Maison. It depends on do you have an ability. You didn't share before..."
Maison frowned but then sighed, "I don't, but I have this and a lot of combat experience." "This?" Noah asked confused. Maison's arm went to his back as he lifted his shirt and pulled out a gun from his pants.
Dumfounded, they looked at Maison, and Ben smiled, "Wonderful. Well, Jay, Zeana, and Loraine, you guys will be packing, all the stuff we have left in here, and going out to the supply truck the teacher and Steph brought back. There you wait for us to come, for everyone. Now for us five, Maison, Mr. Waltermoor, and I will go outside and try to rescue Stephanie. While we are in the line of fire-"
Zenix spoke, "I and Noah will go to the basement, Noah can them melt that shitty lock, and we can go upstairs to the others Sneacking them then out through the secret passage we found in the detention room, which is right next to the pile their trying to get rid of."

Ben nodded and smirked at Zenix, "Like you read my mind. So on board?"
"Hold on one moment, we only have one stone shield, me. So, how do you think you guys will get through if they realize there are Zenix and Noah behind us? If we really get to the girl's room, how can we hold them off long enough so we three can escape? And to get the bags, the girls have in there, after all, there are very important things in there."
Ben shrugged and said with a smile, "We'll figure something out. We have to hurry now. Let's roll!" Mr. Waltermoor was only thinking how stupid this was, but at the same time, he had hope that this would work.
With reluctance, he said, "Okay, but this is only because we don't have much time and no better plans. When we find a new settlement, we need a real plan for situations like these."

Zenix dragged Noah to the door, then turned him around to check if he still had his backpack. It was not on his back.
He turned Noah around to face him again, "Where is it? We need -" Before Zenix finished that sentence, Jay put Noah's bag into his arms.
"Left it by your chair probably didn't notice taking it off to eat," he said, then looking at Zenix, "We'll see each other." Jay turned around, grabbed the five backpacks he packed, and urged Zeana and Loraine to go with him.
Zenix concentrated on the back and then looked into Noah's eyes, "Do not let go, abandon or in any way shape or form make the liquid in these glass bottles disappear. Okay, guard it with your life. We need that to get to the others."
Noah nodded his head rapidly. "Good." He said and looked at Ben, tilting his head upwards as if it was some kind of sign. Ben responded with a nod.
"Then three-" he pushed the table away, "two-" he unlocked the door, "one."

He pushed the door open and let the Teach go first. In an instant, his skin turned gray, and he yelled, "Go go!"
Zenix and Noah ducked behind Mr. Waltermoor and ran toward the basement. Noah pulled the back bag to his chest and concentrated on running. When they were at the door, they heard a shot and a door closing. Knowing they didn't have any protection anymore, Zenix ripped the basement door open, grabbed Noah's clothes, and shoved him inside. Noah almost flew down the stairs but balanced himself and ran down, waiting for Zenix. Zenix closed the door, and a bullet nearly went into his arm but missed slightly.
Then, the lock of the basement door clicked, "I locked the door, but that won't hold them for long. Come with me."
Noah followed Zenix as they ventured deeper into the basement, "Not to interrupt, but why does it seem that we are going deeper? And just curious as to why you have the keys to the basement."
 Zenix shrugged and walked forward, deeper and deeper into the basement, "Ben and I, we are well... Looking for new ways to have fun while going to school, so we often stole these keys from the janitor. He made a new pair of keys after a while, and since then, I have been carrying them with me. And why we are going deeper, we're going to the other half of the school and through a passageway to the other side. So we can get to them, we would have used this way sooner, but that stupid lock won't break. Ben and I tried everything available for us. Heck, we even had those super strong pliers, but that stupid lock wouldn't break. So your little chemical solution is the only thing giving this thing hope."
