Not What it Seems

Not enough time

As me and Jano calmed down I got up and grabbed my spear. He slowly got up and gathered his things. "Hey....Jano.....you know....." I didn't know what to tell him. "Don't worry about it, it's behind me I promise" Jano said. He grew serious "we need to hurry and get the rest" he said. "Yeah no telling the next time Sarah attacks". "No that's not what I mean, when I was in that.....thing it was only giving me a limited about of air and my heart was beating faster then ever before". "I had the same symptoms when I first got out" I said "what does it mean?". "It means it's slowly keeping us alive to torture us, if you live passed all the mental torture with out having a heart attack you'll die of lack of air soon after". "How long do we have!?!" I yelled. "I predict around 3 hours or so, we need to hurry". "We should split up" I said. Jano gave me an "are you crazy?" look. "No really think about it there are still Ghouls and Amaimons around and there's no way we can get everyone with such little time, each person we save will have them go on their own and find someone else" I explained. "Hmmm that could work.....okay let's try it". "Alright good luck" I said running off. "Wait how did you save me!?" Jano yelled. I turned around still running "I can't explain it but trust me you can do it just go for it" I said running off. "What the hell does that mean!?!?" He yelled. I was already gone. "Damnit!" Jano said running the other way. "They have 2 and a half hours to save 14 people giving them......10 mintues a person" Agaliarept said. "It's close but I think they can do it and then if they free someone and tell them to look for someone else that doubles there luck" Sarah said. "If they make it out of this one your screwed" Sarah said laughing. "What do you mean me, he'll take us all down". Yumi stood up and Sarah stopped laughing. "That's a fight you better help with or it's lights out for us". "No" Yumi said. Sarah and Agaliarept looked at him "what do you mean no!? Do you want to die!?!?". "If we do something and Romario finds out he'll be beyond inraged and then we won't even be able to talk to him so we need to stay calm and hope for the best". Agaliarept and Sarah just stood there knowing they were a rock in a hard place. Agaliarept let out I sigh "guess your right...Better hope this goes our way....or else". Jano and I were running down the hallways and finally Jano came across another comrade. It was Hana and he seemed to be struggling alot. Jano tried to figure out how to get Hana out but was at a loss. "Well....didn't Satou just pull me out" Jano said grabbing Hana's shoulder. The smoke consumed him and he was sucked into the dream. He saw Hana fighting the Ghouls​ with his friends wounded behind him. He beat the Ghouls but was on one knee. "Is that all you got?" A voice said coming out of the shadows. It was Romario and the others. Hana gripped his baseball even tighter and charged at Romario. "AHHHH!!!!" Hana began to scream as he attcked with all his might. As it hit Romario's shoulder it broke and Hana fell to the ground. "How did you....." Hana was speechless. Sarah and the others walked passed Hana and started killing his friends. "ST-!" Hana tried to get up but Romario kept him down. "Watch as your friends die and you can't do anything to stop it HAHAHAHA!!!!" Romario began to laugh. "NOOOO!!!!" Hana said tearing up. "I'm sorry.....I'm sorry". Darkness began to form around Romario and was getting closer to Hana. Hana was going to let the darkness take him but Jano yelled at him and pushed Romario. "You idiot what are you thinking!?!?!". "Jano your alive?!?!" He said shocked. "Of course I'm alive and even if I wasn't at least I went out trying my best". "But what if I'm not strong enough.....". "You have taken on the Amaimons and Ghouls​ with no fear! Where is that Hana?!". "You think I wasn't scared?!?!?!!?" Jano snapped. "I've been terrified since the beginning but put on a show, I mean you and Satou and all the rest are so fearless and I'm such a coward....." "Are you kidding you think we're not scared?" Jano said laughing a bit. "If it wasn't for us as I team I would have lost it long ago, but together..... we can do anything". Hana looked at me and I looked at him. "Come on let's show them what we can do". Hana grabbed my hand "with pleasure". The light shined and took them out of the dream. Jano and Hana had the same symptoms and had to rest for a few minutes. As I made my way to the next person a heard a Ghoul scream. "Of course it's not that easy. The next person I found was Natasha. I locked the door and blocked it with some desks. "Better hurry this up" I said reaching in and grabbing her hand. In her dream she was in smoke shackles and three figures were behind her. Ushio and some others were trying to save her but were getting attacked. "Stop!!! Just leave me!!!" She yelled but no one was listening. They all slowly died and she fell to her knees crying. The figures behind her began smiling. I went down and cut some Ghouls​ in half. "Get a hold of yourself Natasha!". "Satou? Is that you?" She said. "You bet and I'm her to save you". "No just run away!!! Please......". The Ghouls charged at me. I touched them with my gloves and slashed through them. "I never run" I said holding my hand out for her. She was going to grab it but the three figures blocked me. I pointed my spear at them and slashed. They dodged but I used my glove and electrified them. I smiled at Natasha "let's go". She smiled and lifted her hands. I slashed her shackles off. "I'm ready". As we locked hands the light formed and the smoke vanished. I was out of breath again and seemed like I needed to sleep for a week. "I can't keep....doing....this". As I got up I heard a few Ghouls​ banging on our door. "Natasha.... are you feeling.....okay". She nodded out of breath. "With these Ghouls getting in the way we can't save everyone...... Time to thing up a new plan".
