A Journey Through The Worlds
/ A Journey Through The Worlds 43 Free man, Thomas.
They only saw the woman lift her hand, and then a purple ray left her hand before hitting the scare faced man who fall down to the floor soon after, it was an unbelievable sight that made the space around them turn silent.
Even Barry and old Frank were just standing there not knowing what to think, when they first saw Robin teleporting while luring the dragon and Any's calm expression while looking at him they knew that their leaders weren't normal at all, but seeing something like that happen right in front of their eyes was a different experience entirely.
"Wh... What kind of monsters are you" mad dog finally spit those words, breaking the since that fall around them.
"We are no monsters, we are simply humans like you, except that..." Dan said but he didn't say the answer directly as he took his time saying the last part, seeing how they all were looking at him reminded him of his students when he asks an interesting question that no one knew the answer to, and they just start waiting for him to give it, smiling to himself as he remembered that, he finally said:
"... I'll tell you later when everyone in the base is together, now let me ask you, from your words I think that all the crewmen of the ships in your gangs are here right"
He didn't answer them as he knew that many people had to listen to that information, and he wasn't going to keep on repeating it, so he just decided to gather everyone that he deemed impotent and told them about it, he would then give those that he didn't think of as essential for the journey a chance to join them or not, while basically kidnapping those that he deemed essential, as he wasn't going to let them go just like that.
"Don't worry I won't do anything bad to you all, I will only ask you to listen to what I want you to do, first tell me, are the crewmen here" Dan said as he saw that no one there showed good expressions after hearing his words, even his teammates looked at him in a weird way, they expected him to explain what happened and where they were from but instead he said that.
"Yeah they are here, probably they are already on the ships getting them ready to sail" the bald middle aged man answered Dan's question.
Mad dog didn't have a reason to refuse, and after seeing what happened to the scare faced man all of them decided to follow silently.
When they entered the cave Dan saw a man walking around the cave while holding a spear making him remember something so he turned his head to old Frank and asked:
"Hey old Frank who made those spears, they were surprisingly good"
He remembered that the spears that he used in the fight were great, even though they were only made of iron their handling was great and they showed just how good their maker was at his field, and he wanted someone like that on his team.
"Oh you mean those spears that I sent you, they were made by Thomas, a very talented person in the gang, he only makes spears and weapons for the blood power users, no normal person would ever dream of getting his works, when I heard you say that you wanted spears I searched for thirty of his best and brought them to you" old Frank said.
"Does he have a family" Dan asked, he getting interested in the man named Thomas.
"Yes he has a waif and a little boy" old Frank answered.
"Then send someone to call them here, remember, ask them to bring all their valuable possessions, but also tell them that they need to hurry I want them to be here in the next hour" Dan said.
"Ok I'll get it done" old Frank nodded his head before calling a guard over and telling him Dan's orders, the guard soon left to finish his mission.
As they were walking toward the platform that over looked the whole cave Dan saw a man walking by, he found him familiar when he saw him, thinking about it he realized that it was the same man who opened the gate to the underground base to them for the first time, Dan was a little surprised as he never thought that that man would be there, as he gave him the impression that he would die standing at that gave, because whenever Dan passed by the entrance or left the gate, he would always see him there.
"Hey, what are you doing here, I thought that you never left the gate it's really a surprise seeing you here" Dan asked.
The man turned his head when he heard someone calling him, except that he didn't expect to see Dan standing there while smiling at him:
"Sir I... I... Even though I like staying guard at the gate, every year when the great migration starts I would volunteer to join the crew of the ships as a helping hand" the man said after he returned to his senses.
"why is that" Dan asked.
"I just like feeling that moment of freedom in the days of the great migration… actually the reason why I stay as a guard at the gate is because I like the weather and place outside, and I just want to be as close to it as possible and to see it as much as possible" the man's words were trembling a little when he started at first but then he started talking and the more he talked the easier it was for him to talk, he simply liked that feeling to the point where he forget that he was talking with the gang leader.
"So you like to feel free" Dan asked.
He liked the man standing in front of him; he was the only person that talked about freedom and going out in much a dangerous world.
"Yes sir, I like to think of myself as a free man, in heart at least if not in body" the man said.
"That sounds good, if you really think of that than later hear what I have to say and decided for yourself it might be what you have been waiting for" Dan said, he then patted him on the shoulder and moved away.
The gate keeper kept on looking at Dan as he and the others moved away.
Dan finally stood on the top of the platform and said:
"Everyone can I have your attention" his voice wasn't high or anything like that but when he talked everyone there calmed down as they had been looking at him and the others ever since they entered the cave.
"Everyone I have something important to tell you" Dan said after he saw that everyone was listening.
"We six are the new leaders of the one eyed dragon's gang, while those people here are the leaders of the other gangs on the city and their blood power users, of course that isn't the important thing that I wanted to say I just wanted to introduce myself and the others, the real thing that I wanted to talk to you about is something that concern you all, and concern your life here" the end of his words were said seriously leaving everyone there waiting for what he wanted to say.
"All of you have noticed it right? How we threw the nets from Barbarossa and how we took all the water containers from the other two ships and even brought many others through the surface"
Many people in the crowd nodded their heads they felt that something was really wrong when they heard about all what Dan asked for, while those that didn't started remebering the weird things that dan asked for.
"Probably many of you guess it already, but I will say it anyway for those that didn't and to make it official; Barbarossa and everyone on it, we included, won't be out in the ocean just for fishing, we are going out for another thing"
His words for those that didn't think about it at all sounded unbelievable, as what can a person do in a two weeks period in the ocean except for fishing, while even though those that considered it still found it surprising they accepted it better.
"Then if you aren't going to the ocean for fishing, what's the reason of your journey" mad dog asked.
Dan's words didn't come as a surprise to him even when he heard them for the first time, so he didn't care about the surprised people and asked what he needed to know.
"I was coming to that, but first let me ask all of you a few things" Dan said.
"I think that all of you had noticed who the duration of a day had become longer, I will tell you know that it gore longer by two times and a half, so a day had become sixty hours long, probably the leaders here had already done some experiments and they probably come with the same amount of time right" asking that question he turned his head to mad dog and the other six.
Seeing all the people there looking at them the leaders nodded their heads one by one.
"Finding about that is easy but do you know why did that happen" Dan clapped his hands after seeing them all nod before he asked that question.
This time everyone in the cave looked at Dan expacting an answer, the changes in the duration of a day were something that made them all worried and many speculations appeared after that happened, people in area 07 were already suffering with dragons and such huge change like the duration of the day getting longer made many afraid that something even worse was coming their way, so hearing Dan ask if any of them knows about its reason made them quite curious and believe that he had an explanation of some sort.
"So they really know about that..." mad dog murmured to himself, when he heard Dan's question.
"I see that all of you won't to know about it, but please hold on to that thought and let me ask you another thing"
"If I'm not mistaken a few days ago, an earthquake hit every place in the city right, and while that earthquake happened everyone here lost consciousness, nothing bad happened but after waking up, did weird memories appear in you minds? Memories about living in other worlds, in those worlds there was no dragons, the civilization there might have been destroyed just like here or still good and functioning, about a world where people had abilities, a world with dinosaurs and many other, did that happen"
Dan knew that he had to link every weird or unknown thing that happened in that last few days and try explaining it to them in a way so they would understand it, to make them belive wjat he was going to say later.
Hearing Dan stop in the middle of his explanation about the reason of the change in the duration of the day and trying to talk about another thing made them a little bit upset, but then they heard what he wanted to talk about and they become even more interested.
Everyone losing consciousness at the same time was a major thing that happened a few days ago, and just like what happened when the duration of the day changed no one had an explanation for it.
Not to mention that the happening then didn't only include all of them falling unconscious but also the weird memories and visions of them on other worlds.
Those memories were a mystery, as no one could explain how they appeared in everyone's mind.
