Chapter 101 - Plan For Gale

"What is it, Vernon?" Nick asked Vernon who now turned to look at him and then said,

"This guy wants all ten of us to come to face him, Nick!" said Vernon to Nick who was now frowning and turned to look at the paper that Vernon had just given him at that time.

'I invited the ten of you to my place, because I guess you guys were looking for me right…? Don't worry, Aidan will be fine with me here… take time, I'll always be waiting for you here. - Iceland coordinates 65 degrees, 02 points over thirty-nine North, twenty degrees, thirty-three points over zero five West. The four hundred and forty-seventh kilometer. (That is the place where I am, and the place where we will meet later.)

Signed 008 Gale.' not only that, but he also included the symbol of a circle with twelve lines on each side. Which is then inserted brackets and also the time. Which in the end lets Nick know that the person they're looking for is a time controller.

Nick was stunned to read the message, and made Vernon Zach and Wilson look at each other, and then Zach asked Nick.

"Nick… so, what should we do now?" a question that was asked by Zach at that moment, made Nick turn his gaze to the three of them and then turn to look at Wilson and say,

"Tell Elizabeth about this, the person who brought Aidan is the person we are looking for… and we must have a meeting to confront this one!" Nick explained to Wilson, which made Wilson nod his head and immediately contact Elizabeth with the walkie-talkie he had brought.

…

At Elizabeth's house.

Lucas' eyes now turned to Elizabeth in complete shock, when Lucas found out who he had faced before.

"Lizbet! I know who the person I was with earlier!" Lucas said to Elizabeth who now turned to look at him, and at the same time, Wilson contacted those who were there using a Walkie-talkie.

Krrsskk!

"Lizbeth, we found her now!" said Wilson to Lizbeth, which made Kendrick who was holding a walkie-talkie at that time turn his gaze to Elizabeth which made Elizabeth and Lucas now turn to look at Kendrick at the same time, and then Lizbeth nodded her head, making Kendrick now speak.

"Yeah… report what you found!" Kendrick said to Wilson and the others who were there.

"We didn't find anything really, but we know what we're looking for, Aidan was kidnapped… and the person who kidnapped him was a time controller, the symbol we're looking for is this guy… and he said if we had to meet him later, he gave us some free time in here!" Wilson explained to Kendrick who again turned his gaze to Elizabeth who now nodded her head again and then said,

"Then tell them to go home, and we will prepare everything!" Elizabeth explained to Kendrick who nodded his head again and then explained Lizbeth's words to Wilson again.

"Wilson… Elizabeth asked you to come back here so we can talk things over and prepare whatever we can at least prepare!" said Kendrick to Wilson to which Wilson responded by saying,

"Alright… we are going home now!" Wilson replied to Kendrick before finally they were disconnected again.

"..." while Lucas, who had just heard it, was now silent and let out a long breath, which made Lizbeth look at him and ask,

"Did you also know that it was a time controller, Lucas?" a question that was asked by Elizabeth to Lucas which now made Lucas nod his head and then said,

"Yeah… I just realized that she's really strong, and I didn't even notice… she can stop my time as well as Aidan, isn't that really dangerous for us… Lizbeth?" Lucas asked Elizabeth who was now stunned to hear that and turned her gaze to Lucas and said,

"Relax… as long as we're together, that time controller is nothing, Lucas!" Elizabeth explained to Lucas who looked doubtful at the words, who then asked.

"Are you sure, Lizbeth?" Lucas asked him again and Elizabeth nodded her head in response to Lucas' words at that time.

…

Time passed, Nick, Zach, Wilson, and Vernon had returned to Elizabeth's residence, due to the fact that the professor's apartment was not far from Elizabeth's, which made it easy for the four of them to go there or return to Elizabeth's house.

At that time, Lucas was sitting on the sofa with the wound that had been treated. Wilson sat on the shutters along with Zach who leaned against the window, Vernon who sat on the sofa next to Lucas sat down with Yedda, Queen, Kendrick, and Marla who sat on the mat that was spread down there, Elizabeth sat opposite Lucas and Nick, who was now standing in front of the table there, made all eyes turn to Nick who was standing right beside Elizabeth at that time.

"So… what should we do next? We have to get Aidan right away, right?" Vernon asked Nick who now turned to look at him and nodded as he exhaled and then said,

"I guess not only Aidan… Vernon, but we should also bring that time controller named Gale to come with us!" Nick explained to Vernon who now nodded his head again agreeing with what Nick said.

"This time controller is very powerful… and you should know that, so… I guess if we leave in a hurry without a plan… then I believe we will lose and get hurt easily!" Lucas explained to all of them who now turned their gazes to Lucas, which made Nick nod his head in response.

"Yeah… I agree with that, we should come up with a plan before going to where he is now!" Nick explained to them all, and made Zach now ask,

"Then.. what are we going to plan this time? Do you have any ideas?" Zach asked Nick, who then shook his head at that.

"I'm not sure about it yet, although I remember how we all worked when collaborating with time controllers, but… I've never been against it because we were on the same side back then!" Nick explained to Zach and stunned them all.

"How do you guys collaborate, Nick?" a question asked by Marla at that time, made Nick turn his gaze to Marla and then say,

"We will stop the time of the opposing monster and then take it down very easily!" Nick explained to Marla, which made Wilson frown at that and then say,

"So… back then, we relied heavily on that time controller?" Wilson asked Nick turning to look at him and then nodding his head in response to the question.

"Yeah… we really relied on zero zero eight back then!" nick explained to Wilson and silenced them all, including Lucas who heard it.

"I guess… all we have to do is try to wake him up!" Lucas muttered to speak, which made the nine people there now turn to look at Lucas who looks very serious at this time.

That night, not only Elizabeth and Nick turned to look at Lucas who had just spoken, but the nine of them were now looking at Lucas very curiously. How can they awaken the controller of that time, while he is the controller of time, which would be very difficult to talk to him? Be grateful if he wants to talk and listen to what they have to say, what if he doesn't want to and night strikes back at them all? So the problem will not stop there.

"Is that a good plan for us?" a question asked by Kendrick at that time made Nick and Elizabeth turn to look at him who now said again,

"Eum... I mean, are you sure this will work, Lucas?" The question asked by Kendrick at that moment made Lucas exhale and then say,

"There's no harm in trying, right?" Lucas replied to Kendrick.

…

And on the same day, at a different time and place. Aidan sat with both hands tied by handcuffs, and both legs tied to the chair where he was currently sitting, Aidan's gaze now turned to the right and left to look around the place where he was at that moment, and his gaze returned to the man who just came from outside the room, the man who is now walking brings a glass of water and several baskets of bread and fruit, which then the man turns his gaze to Aidan who is sitting in front of the dining table.

"If you want to say something, say it… I'm not covering your mouth like a criminal!" said the man very calmly to Aidan, which made Aidan now exhale when he heard him say that.

"What do you want from us? we just want peace here!" Aidan explained to the man, who now turned to look at him who asked like that, who then chuckled at hearing him say as if Aidan didn't know much what the man there already knew.
