The monster then grabbed Saviour and before he could escape it gripped tighter and exploded his head.
Saviour had died.
Saviour opened his eyes in his bed once more with Arm shouting for him.
"Saviour wake up, time for your speech about the evacuation"
He rubbed his eyes and looked down, he was perfectly fine, no injuries.
"What's taking you so long?" Arm started to open the door with a complicated expression. On the surface he was frustrated but he was also a little worried.
Before Arm could ask what wrong, Saviour instantly used a gateway to the treehouse and saw Runna with her red hair dragging her finger on the wooden floor boards.
"Phew" Saviour let out a breath and collapsed onto the floor. He put his hands over his face and relaxed.
"It was all a dream..." Saviour murmured soemthing but too quiet for Runna to hear fully.
"A dream? You had a nightmare, how about you delay the evacuation for tomorrow?"
"NO!" Saviour was still stuck in that dream and didn't want that what happened there to happen again.
"I'll do it now, come with me and we'll start the evacuation today"
Saviour opened a gateway and gestured for Runna to go through, she obliged and walked through into town.
"Right stay here I'll get all the soldiers first and announce what's happening"
Saviour opened another gateway and went to the barracks. From there he did the same as that dream and started gathering everyone for the evacuation of civilians.
Just then from underground the human-monster burrowed out of the ground. It started to run into the group of civilians ready to slaughter.
Instantly it's claws went through all the people there like butter, no amount of struggle could escape it's pure brutality. Everyone started running and Saviour decided to use a gateway to move it away.
Saviour though of a far away location and tried to mobilise his sunlight. But there was a problem...
No matter how much saviour tried the sunlight wouldn't move and he couldn't activate his ability. He didn't notice it last time since he was struck with fear but the monster seemed to stop his abilities from activating.
Saviour ran to Runna and grabbed her hand.
"We can't defeat this by ourselves, come run! We can't activate our abilities!"
Runna was flustered and scared frozen from seeing the slaughter of her neighbours, her friends, her family.
She shed tears and in the blur she saw the monster was getting close to her father. She let out a wail and her feet started to glow.
She burst forth, letting go of Saviour's grip and appearing like a flash of lighting she push her father out of the monster's path. But in doing so she used her ability to it's maximum and could dodge it.
She got slashed into two by the monster, then it got the prey that escaped and got her father.
In just a few short minutes all the civilians there were gone, the streets covered in blood and gore. The monster then looked towards Saviour.
It almost let out what could be interpreted as a cackle. Like a wild beast but still recognisable as 'human'. It seemed to enjoy the torture it was giving to Saviour.
It was definitely targeting him, it looked with it's human eyes with a crazed obsession. It then launched itself towards him, Saviour knew this attack pattern from last time and at the crucial moment he jumped left.
The beast missed and took a second to find him again, this time it used it claws and took a slash at Saviour's back as he was running.
Saviour could feel his blood running low and he fainted.
Saviour opened his eyes in his bed once more with Arm shouting for him.
"Saviour wake up, time for your speech about the evacuation"
He jolted up and looked down, he was perfectly fine, no injuries once more.
"What's taking you so long?" Arm stood outside the door with a complicated expression. On the surface he was frustrated but he was also a little worried.
Instead of using a gateway, he instead sat up and started thinking.
'for some reason I keep going through the same scenario and dying. But I don't die... I wake up again...hmm... Maybe this is why I was feeling weird that first 'loop'!?'
As he was in deep thought he was shook back to reality as Arm opened the door to see him sat up thinking with a deep expression on his face.
"Are you stressed, you.." Arm was cut off.
Saviour raised his palm and said,
"Don't go thinking I'm crazy but let's not evacuate just yet"
Saviour was thinking that if all the soldier could be protecting the civilians perhaps the monster will fall. It seemed to only be able to stop one power at a time, maybe with everyone's help they can defeat it...
"Why don't we have everyone here to defeat the scouts first then while safe we evacuated?"
Saviour had a weak smile as he suggested his plan.
"Nope. No can do, who knows how close the main tide is to the scouts, if they're too close we'll get flooded and all die" Arm rejected his plan plainly not giving any room.
'what else? How can I get everyone evacuated without getting killed by that monster? It only came when I started to evacuate civilians... And it didn't matter whether that was today or tomorrow, so it must be lurking underground even now'
Saviour shivered at the thought of that monster being here right now, Arm saw this and asked,
"Is there a reason you wanna change the plans?"
Saviour shaked his head "nothing but let's delay until tomorrow morning to give people more time to pack"
"...okay... We can do that, come and get breakfast" Arm was suspicious but Saviour didn't seem to want to tell him why the change so he moved on.
"No me and Runna were gonna have something together I'll leave now"
"Ahh that's why, you and Runna have plans..." Arm had a smirk and said it slowly as if he now understands.
"WE'RE NOT LIKE THAT, GO LET ME CHANGE" Saviour pushed Arm out of his room and he leant and against his door with a complex expression.
"Sigh what do I do"
