24 The official reunion. (2/2)

”shhh! Did you hear that?”

”What?”

Then in the distance far from the border of the city they could hear a huge explosion rising like a mushroom cloud in the distance.

”That....is the signal. I knew that there is no way that lunatic could spend a day without making a huge scene.

---------------------

”So that was done by your friend who is supposed to help us make the artifacts?”

Lilith asked

Lucas awkwardly scratched the back of his head the replied- ”Well, he does have a bad habit of attaching self-destruct buttons on his devices. Never mind. We have to reach him before anyone else does.”

-------------------------------

”Holy shit, when you were experimenting with explosives, you didn't say anything about weapons of mass destruction,” Kate yelled at Vincent while washing the soot off of her face.

”You are too naive, this is not even close to a real terror weapon. It is equal to a few stacks of dynamite. Nothing much. Wait till you see the missiles. Those are basically explosions on wings. Absolute beauties.”

Kate shook her head, no doubt thinking that she had gotten herself in the wrong company. Her parents had always told her to avoid crazy people, looks like she discovered the truth too late.

”Let's leave to another place to test out more prototypes. Trying to forcibly react fire and water crystals, is good enough. I can't wait to see how Light and Dark react.

However, before they could move any further Vincent could barely see a blue streak of light speeding towards him from the corner of his eyes. Just as he dodged it, It came back towards him and a big punch smacked him right in the face, sending him flying into the crater left by the explosion. However thanks to his snake lineage he was able to balance himself easily.

As the Blue blur slowly became visible Vincent couldn't help but have his jaw drop.

”What the hell was that for Martin!”

”I just felt like it! You just keep blowing everything up perhaps some of your screws would have been blown out of your head. I was just helping screw them back again!”

”But why the face. You always bully me.”

Just as they were bickering they suddenly stopped as they saw someone walk out of the shadows next to them, clapping slowly as he entered.

”Well, I am glad to see that you too are getting along well.”

Vincent turned and saw the face of the newcomer. Sure enough that smug face that just made you want to beat him up was still there. Lucas...

”Lucas..is that you? Wait....why do you have horns.”

Lucas's face instantly darkened, he then regained his composure and asked-

”Why is your skin green and why do you have a tail sticking out of your butt.”

Vincent opened his mouth then closed it again.

”Let's all agree to never speak of this again.”

The three of them all nodded in agreement and an awkward silence slowly settled over them.

Looking at each other they couldn't help but...

collectively burst into maniacal laughter like the lunatics they were.....

A few meters away Marcus, Freya, Kate, and Lilith couldn't help but look at the trio while huge question marks seemed to be written all over their faces.

What they could realize that this seemed to be the start of something new, something that the entire-multiverse would remember for years to come.
