CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

“And he’s completely missing?” said Blizzard a few hours later. She was lying on my bed on her side, her head propped up by her hand, staring up at me with her beautiful blue eyes.

Sitting at my desk in my room, I nodded. “Yeah. He broke the ropes and then got away by using one of Dad’s Teleportation Disks. I did a quick search of the forest around us, but I couldn’t find him anywhere. Valerie couldn’t find him, either.”

Blizzard shuddered. “This is awful. It’s like those horror movies with the serial killer who keeps coming back from the dead, only this is real life. Do you think he’s going to come after us again?”

I bit my lower lip and sipped a cup of warm coffee. “I hope to God not, but given how he still hates my guts, I think it’s safe to assume he’ll try to take me out again eventually. Guess it depends on whether Seth has a tight leash on him or not.”

Blizzard nodded, but she looked even more scared than me. Not surprising. Although the Neo-Killer’s hatred was for me and me alone, he had nearly poisoned Blizzard to death with a unique virus of his own making. If it hadn’t been for a miracle—literally—Blizzard would have just flat out died entirely. The Neo-Killer’s return, even as a clone, was a terrifying turn in what was seeming more and more like one of the scariest nights of our lives so far.

When Black Blur and I returned to the Braindome in Showdown, Black Blur had been immediately admitted to the local hospital, because his injuries had been deemed too serious for the Braindome’s in-house medical team to treat effectively. According to what I’d been told, Black Blur would be sent back to Hero Island in the morning to be treated there, so Black Blur was out of the game right now. Despite how much I disliked the guy, I realized how much it hurt us to lose him like that. Hopefully, Healing Touch would heal him up right away, although that wouldn’t be until tomorrow morning at least.

I had also explained to Brains and Vanish what happened in Vault F. In particular, I focused on the return of the Neo-Killer, which had caused Brains to declare that he was going to increase security around the Braindome until the Neo-Killer was no longer a threat. I suppose that meant we’d be safe if the Neo-Killer ever returned to Showdown, but I wasn’t quite so sure about that. I’d also told them about what happened to Mecha Knight, although there was nothing they could do about that just yet.

In any case, I was tired from tonight’s events, so Blizzard and I had retired to my room to rest. I had given Blizzard a detailed rundown on everything that happened, starting with Black Blur and I entering Vault F and ending with the disappearance of the Neo-Killer, and she had listened as closely as always. I appreciated how
