Into the Unknown: Chapter 10

Josh McLean X The Great ThanatoRabbit's SwindleThat giant rabbit might have grabbed me, JT, and some of my friends. I was powerless for the time being. I remember reading articles about that kind of rabbit. That kind of rabbit is an extremely rare breed called Lepus Potestatem Accipere Duplices, a rare breed of giant rabbits that not only can breathe fire, but can take away superpowers and can kill by just touching you.

I remember in my first day in Oxford University, I was doing research on this rabbit. It took place at the Biology Lab, and the research is from 2-4 periods, which is a long time. It is shown that it can take away superpowers or make someone weak, but only temporarily. The effect lasts only for about 8 hours, and then that person will be back in a normal state.

Anyways, JT is sitting next to me, placing his hands on his lap and is wondering. We were in a cave, without our powers. I wondered... if we could at least wait for 8 hours, then we all could have our powers back.

A tickink sound is heard from the cave, but the question is where? I could sense that JT is looking for a way out. Apparently, he has regained some of his powers. But that's due to his grandfather being Pan. I walked towards the nearest pillar, and I sighed.

"When are we getting out of this, JT?" I asked.

"When we get our powers back in full." JT answered.

He tried to lift the earth using his geokinesis, but it doesn't work. I can't seem to see the escape route either. Everything is pitch black.

I placed my right hand in my right pocket and found something. Oh, thank god I didn't forget to bring my ownmade flares with me.

Oh yeah, I liked to fiddle with my powers and make flares. I used to do that when I had nothing to do, but look! It really pays off.

I held a ball sized flare and crushed it. Thankfully, I crushed it softly, so it glows like a regular light bulb. I don't even feel stronger. I suppose that my power is going to return slowly.

As my flare is on, JT and me searched for a way out. I continued to walk towards the cave where the light is faint. That would indicate the escape route that we're heading on.

We turned right, left, left, right, left. This is just like a labyrinth, to escape an area without falling into traps.

It was quite hard, but eventually we saw an exit, which is just a few meters away.

As soon as we are outside, we were immediately hit by a heat wave. The sun is shining very bright that burned my skin. I guess I just realized what will happen if I wasn't a son of Hyperion.

I immediately run for cover, and that cover is under a tree. There, I saw Emma and Jack. Jack is in no good condition. He was impaled by a piece of wooden stick.

"Jack!" I screamed as I rushed towards him and pulled the stick out. Jack screamed in pain, and I held him. "Are you alright?" I said.

"What does it look like?" Jack asked. I observed him.

"No, you're not." I said, and was about to touch him when I realized that my powers aren't working.

As I watched, the wounds healed itself, and JJ and Emma looked at their hands.

"I feel... stronger." Emma said.

"Same here." Desmond said. Veronica is standing behind him.

Now this is one other piece of variable that hasn't fit onto the equation. How is it that they are feeling stronger?

Then I remember the rabbits species. They may have taken away our powers and our soul (maybe), but what all the rabbit is doing is borrowing our powers and soul. Of course, if the rabbit borrows your powers and soul too much, you will die, since you are lending powers more than the actual interest, just like what the rabbit does to one of the members of Liquid Fire, and from what I heard, it is a boy.

I could feel my powers returning also, and that means that Maxwell's power is returning too!

"Guys, go on check Maxwell!" I yelped.

"Don't worry." Veronica patted me. "He's tied up."

"Not!" A voice behind me said, and it's Maxwell, and he appeared to be more powerful. Well guess what? We're more powerful too!
