“You're not messing with Corona’s Science Expo! Especially my best friend. No one messes with him ever!” You try to push Dr. Croix away.

He suddenly caught you off guard and stepped away while letting you go. You fall forward and try to catch yourself, unfortunately you hit your head and you groan painful. Why is it always your head?

Everything sounded muffled and slightly unbalanced, but you could see Dr. Croix turning something and reaching for a lever.

“Dr. St. Croix! NO! You're building too much pressure!” Varian yells in panic.

The invention shoot up after he pulls the lever and it flies around right when Cass and Varian came onto the stage. Varian helps you up and you lean on him, holding your head.

“(____) is your head-”

“Watch it!” Cass tackles you two off the stage and Varian's invention knocks Dr. Croix away. You're on top of Varian and before you could comprehend it, a loud exhilarating sound reaves up.

“Oh this is bad!” Varian helps you up.

The invention had attached to Fernanda’s magnetism contraption and started breaking out into bright green electricity.

“How is this, Varian?” You were afraid to ask as the dangerous machine began to float up and the wind picked up drastically.
“Introducing counter centrifugation to the magnetism could result into, well, THAT!” Varian gulps, “It's angular momentum is rapidly approaching critical velocity once that happens, it'll suck up everything in sight.”

“So you mean us and basically everything?”

“Yes!”

It felt like a very strong and unnatural whirlwind. There was a loud violent flap and with the blink of an eye, something harshly wrapped around your ankle.

“AH!” You yell and your body is flung airborne with what looked like the banner of the expo.

“(____)!!!!”

Varian grabs your arm at the last second and gets pulled up too.

Cassandra yells in slight fear, “Varian! (____)!”

The two of you yell, flying up toward the machine. Varian's foot tangles around the beaded decoration on the machine. It snaps on one side which now leaves you two dangling in the eye of the dark whirlwind.

The banner still tugs harshly on your leg and making Varian's grip on your arm slip to your hand.

“Varian!” You say fearfully.

Varian holds on tight, “We gotta get that off your leg!”

“KID!”

Varian looks down to see Eugene had tossed up a covered dagger. He catches it, swiftly uncovering it and uses all his strength to pull you down and swing at the end of the banner.

You scream, your body now flipping up right.

Varian wraps his arms around you tightly, “Don't worry, I got you!” He holds you close, “I got you!”
