The Deletion- 21st Hour

We walked into the street.

All was calm. Well as calm as it could be. This did not look like the street where an hour ago, a huge Slave had crashed his hand into.
It was back to normal.

We walked into Vin's home.

He seemed to have slept through the entire ordeal.

Sarah took out a scanning device, scanning for the Tertiary Space nearby.

The device was silent for most part, except for this weird humming noise it did.

'Whats that weird humming noise?'

'Thats me humming a song.', Sarah said.

Before Sarah could see my embarrassed face, the device beeped.

'Found it!', Sarah whispered.

'Why are you whispering?', I asked, whispering myself.

'There's a guy asleep here. We do not want to wake him up.'

Sarah took out another device, aiming at the spot the device had beeped at.

'Hope for the best Kid', she said, firing the device at the particle.

A ray of light touched it, dispersing light as if it was a prism.
A rainbow of colors sprayed itself onto the wall, each shade brimming with energy.

'Michael, make sure that he does not wake up. We are going to search for the body. And hold this device. Keep it at the particle. Do not waver.'

'On it.'

'Kid. You take from the Violet end. I will begin from Red.'

'All right.'

'Do you know what to do?', she asked me.

I smiled.

'No.'

'Thought so.'

She gave me a pair of glasses.

'Wear this. Look at the lights carefully. If you find any shimmering or difference in shades or anything, anything at all, let me know.'

'Allright.'

I wore the glasses. The lights seemed to intensify in strength.

Violet was such a peaceful color. It flowed slowly, not disturbing the others nearby.
In fact, the speed of the colors increased from my end to her end.

I noticed that there was some sort of shimmering in Green, as if something was trying to get out from it. It kept pushing its borders.

'Sarah?'

'Yeah?'

'There's something moving in Green.'

'I see it too. I think it might be best if we just look for your body and leave the rest. It might be dangerous.'

'I think we should help it.'

'That is a wrong decision, Kid. We need to find your body. We are running short of time.'

'Does that mean leaving a living being stuck in that world forever?'

Sarah let out a sign.

'First thing after finding your body, we will release it.'

I was not satisfied, but hey, beggars can't be choosers. I had to find my body fast. I did not want to end up as a trophy in Michael's or Chief's room.

I looked at the colors at my end a bit more carefully.

It helped that these glasses had a zoom capability.

The moment I noticed something floating in the colors, I zoomed in.

It was mostly just some random thing, like a vehicle or some sort of weapon.

As I was starting to lose hope, I saw something floating in Blue.

It seemed to move along slowly, as if there was nothing to guide it.
I zoomed in. I could make out something covered, but it sure looked human.

I gestured over to Sarah.
I realized a second too late that she probably couldn't see me waving my hand at her.

'Sarah.', I whispered.

'What?'

'I think I found myself.'

She walked over to my side, zooming in with her glasses.

'Move back.'

She walked over to the color, wearing a glove over her hand.

'This is going to be interesting.'

She put her hand into the color, zooming in with her glasses.

Slowly, carefully, she removed it.

She now had me in her hand.

She gestured at me to bring the device from Michael.

Michael handed the device over to me, waiting for me to do something with it.

Sarah pressed a couple of buttons on it and watched as it fired a beam of light at the thing.

I felt pain. Shocking, numbing pain. I almost dropped the device.

I watched as smoke rose from her hand, as something happened to my body.

I jumped at her, yelling. The device clattered to the floor. The pain vanished, so did the beam.

Vin woke up, yelling.
.
Michael looked at Vin, who punched him in the nose.

He got up, cackling.

'Think you can steal from my collection, fools?'

He threw a small transparent ball onto the floor. Suddenly, a Slave appeared.

'Capture them.', he said.

I turned and ran.
Michael and Sarah followed behind.

Suddenly, I felt an arm close on my hand.

'Jump, you Idiot!', I heard Michael scream.

And I jumped right into darkness.
