Chapter 2 - Chapter One: Part two: Helping Saika!

N: They both left the guild later on, few minutes pass by and they have finally arrive at a large house that looks more like medical lab or clinical lab.

Ash: We have arrive! Behold Professor Jalmeel house! Well you can say a clinic because he is in fact, a doctor.

* Grin *

Saika: This Is a clinic? And also a house? What should I expect?

* Look towards Ash *

Ash: Well nothing much, just make sure to stay strong! The scent in there in pretty... Let's just say unbearable.* Small smile *

Saika: Does It stink? Not that I will mind it!

* Nervous chuckle *

Ash: The smell is not bad, let's go inside. * Give a gesture to approve her arrival *

* As they both get in, the room in filled with a sweet, floral, flower-like scent. With Professor Jalmeel sitting with his leg crossed in a chair *

Ash: Hey, Professor! Sorry I didn't give you a heads-up about my arrival.

* Professor Jalmeellookedover his glasses to look at Ash *

Professor Jalmeel: It's alright Ash, I don't really mind it. So why are you here? And It looks like you brought someone here too.

* His critical gaze wanders at Saika, Saika shivers at the gaze fell on her *

Ash: She want my help, our help Professor. She is infected by the Blue zone mark curses. * Ash slam his hand softly to Professor Jalmeel table *

Professor Jalmeel: Blue zone mark you say? The same curse that Is almost impossible to cure due to its rarity?

* Professor Jalmeel stop mid speeches *

Show it to me.

*Saika hesitates, before slowly lifting her long black sleeves upward to reveal the Blue X-shaped mark that slowly pulsing on her hand*

Saika: So.. How about it?

*She gulp *

Professor Jalmeel: This Is gonna be...A hassle. * He pinch the bridge of his nose*

I can help but it will probably take a while to gather some information about this curse. You do know that this is rare right? Not to mention it chose you as its vessel. You're truly unfortunate.

* Saika's eyes turn horrified and filled with terror as she heard Professor Jalmeel explanation *

Saika: AM I GONNA BE DEAD? DOOMED?! * Panicking *

Ash: Relax Saika, I'm sure Professor Jalmeel has his own way to solve this problem. * Ash's nod proudly *

Professor Jalmeel: Actually I do not. Especially with these kind of rare curse. Finding a cure for it will be hard. Not to mention I have no experience at all for this kind of curse for me to cure it. But, I'll try a way to help you both out. In fact, You * Points a finger to Saika*

* Saika eyes turn hopeful again *

Saika: You will help me sir?!.. R.. Really?

Professor Jalmeel: Yes, I will help you, but I'll only help you find the cure. The rest is up to you.

* Saika practically beaming with excitement, nods vigorously *

Saika: Don't mention it sir! And yes the rest is ours to handle!

Ash: Yep, just tell us where to find the cure and we will get it in no time.* Small grin *

Professor Jalmeel: Just give me some time to figure how to find it.

* After a few hours *

Professor Jalmeel: After hours of searching. I finally found it. * He stretches His body*

Saika: So where is it prof?? PLEASE TELL US! TELL ME!

*Stands up from the chair*

Ash: Yeah prof, you better tell us and not make us wait again.

* Professor Jalmeel raises his hand,trying to calm them down*

Professor Jalmeel: Patience, young one. All will be revealed in time.

* He takes a few deep breath*

Professor Jalmeel: It's in the Aetherix Laboratories. Yes the same factory that is now—ruined.

Saika: Aetherix Laboratories?? The same factory that got destroyed by a sudden accidental explosion?!

Ash: Wouldn't that be dangerous. I'd bet there's dangerous radiation coming from the destroyed factory.

* Professor Jalmeel sighs *

Professor Jalmeel: Here is a thing Ash, Saika. The radiation is commonly from a healing potions. They are not that dangerous.

Ash: Not "that" dangerous..? Meaning it can be dangerous right?!

* He narrows he's eyes *

* Professor Jalmeel sigh deeply *

Professor Jalmeel: if you were exposed to it by long enough—yes. You can get affected by it. But as long as you are not too long in the laboratories, I personally think you will be just fine. * He smirks while crossing he's arm*

Saika: Sounds... Unbelievable.. But alright, we can make this fast and smooth so none of us gets affected by the radiation. * Small smile as she look at Ash *

Ash: This... Better be worth it. * He stands up from the couch *

* Takes a deep breath*

Ash: Aetherix laboratories it is, I'm going to help you get the cure Saika.

* Smiles while giving a thumbs up, Saika smiles warmly at my gesture*

Saika: Let's make this quick and get back home safely.

*30 minutes gone by after they take off from Professor Jalmeel House, they're walking through a cold, quiet forest wrapped in shadow and unbroken calm."

Saika: Can I ask you a question Ash?

* She stops for a moment before walking again*

Ash: Of course! It will be more fun if we chit chat while walking through this deep gloomy forest!

Saika: How long has it been since you create your guild?

Ash: About 2 months? It's still new and plain looking, don't expect much from it.

Saika: 2 months... Oh look, we have finally arrive at the Aetherix Laboratories!

*The fog clears up revealing a massive facility that has been ruin and old, piles of rubble and rocks stacking up*

Ash: Oh.. My... Is there even a way to enter this Facility?! The door to this Facility seems... Broken

*Stares at the broken bunker door that are already graze and burn by something.*

Saika: If there isn't a way to enter this Facility, we need to make one.

*She creates a powerful barrier and push all of the rubble aside, making a new entrance to the facility*

Ash: Woah you can just create that?! That's incredible!

*Saika blush and look away shyly*

Saika: it's nothing much!

*She clears her throat*

Saika: Let's... Get going then, better be quick in this "safe" facility.

*They both enter the facility, gasping at the sheer size of the chamber*

Ash: WOAH WHAT! This is so big..! There's more room on the other side too! Just how big is this factory?!

*Gently poke one of the untouched potions*

Saika: Something is off, the potions are arranged and tidy. Like someone or something has enter here before and did all of this.

*She ponder deeply for a moment*

Ash: You're right, we better be careful and watch our back for and danger.

*Saika take out a map from her pocket*

Saika: Professor Jalmeel said that the potion might be around on the third floor of this factory. But the elevator is.. ruined and it's impossible to use it.

Ash: I guess we will need to use the stairs..

*Sigh deeply*

*And somewhere else in the factory, a wide grin flashes and disappear, moving fast and smooth*
