What The Luck!?

Chapter 188 - 188. Confidence

The three froze in place as they realized there were sounds from all around them. "He he he, looks like we have some more prey falling in to our hands." There was a staff member wearing an orange jumpsuit with the arms cut off walking towards them.

"He he he, looks like more bad acting staff members that want to get zapped by my friend." Asher decided to try and throw off the fake prisoners with his calm tone. He knew that Sammy was a little on edge since she couldn't see as well. 

The fake prisoner was caught off guard but he didn't hesitate much, "Sharp tongue, but that only makes it easier for us to deal with you." There were other fake prisoners that surrounded them numbering only to six total. This was less than Asher had expected but he quickly realized that the others had most likely started here and were now gone to hunt other campers. 

"Asher, what do we do now?" Louis wasn't sure he could deal with the dark shadows he saw all around them. 

Asher smiled widely and spoke with confidence, "Well, you and Sammy should cover your eyes. Then when I say attack you go all out. I will set them up so they can't even see you." This stopped the fake prisoners who thought that the camper they had found might have some strange super power.

The second that both Sammy and Louis had their eyes ciovered Asher reached in to his pocket and pulled out one of then small flash bombs. He closed his eyes and threw it down to the ground with all his strength. 

The small pop that followed caused a light bright enough for him to see through his eyelids. The sound was not even close to the bright light that caused all the fake prisoners to jump back and claw at their eyes. 

"What did that kid do!"

"My eyes! I am Blind!"

"I'll never see the beauty of a woman again. It's all over for me!"

"Nooo, my eyessss!!"

Asher opened his eyes and looked at the pitiful; state of the fake prisoners. "That's rough buddy, but why are you so worried about the beauty of a woman? Jim didn't say these were permanent." Asher acted like he was full of confidence, however, he realized he had not at all asked how long these would last. 

Asher's confidence had been rising dramatically as he was the anchor for his friends who couldn't see. Now that he had made the fake prisoners unable to see Louis and Sammy dashed toward the shadows they could make out. Soon the three had started a chorus of smacks and kicks along with fake prisoners shouting in defeat. 

"That's that, now where are those you captured or where is the camp? Either is an acceptable answer. If now then I set zappy zap on you over there." Asher made a dramatic gesture to Louis who made out Asher's shadow waving at him. 

Even though the fake prisoners couldn't see what Lois was doing they heard a sharp electrical zapping sound from Louis's actions. He had held his hands apart and focused as hard as possible to get a short arch of lighting to appear. This sound was enough to make the fake prisoners cower. 

Asher felt a little bad for acting this way, but since this was all part of the strategy the staff should be well prepared to deal with the campers that chose to fight back instead of run away. "Follow the bent branches. We bent branches to lead everyone to the capture tent. There should be a few counselors guarding it but it's not against the rules to help people escape." 

With the staff members' information, Asher gave him a pat on the head. "Sorry for causing so much trouble. This was really a surprise. I hope that you all will keep teaching as well." He hoped that his apology was enough to deal with any negative emotions.

"So, how do you guys feel about causing a prison break? I think it will be fun to cause a little trouble." Asher did not miss the irony in the fact that they were supposed to be running and escaping from these fake prisoners but were actually about to break out the hostages already taken. It was like the roles had been reversed. 

"If you tell us what that bright light is on the way then sure." Louis had no reason to turn Asher down. He had the feeling of invincibility at the moment after the last fight. He had started to realize that this was why the others trained so hard. This feeling was their fuel to become stronger and progress. 

Sammy also had no reservations now. She had been trying to learn her power more and work towards her goal of being able to fly. Since she had met her new friends she had only gotten closer to that goal by leaps and bounds. "I'm in. Let's go see who else we can link up with. We will be the unbreakable chain." 

"I like the sound of that. We should form our own hero group after we graduate. Universities will take groups of students that way anyways." Asher could only think of the possibility. If he and his friends agreed on this they could work together to get ahead as a heroic group that dealt with specific villain organizations or disasters. It was very common for those in university to form them. 

"If we are going to be the strongest chain in the world why don't we call it Link. We will be the heroes linked by fate. Nothing will break the chain we form." Asher's cheesy little speech made Louis and Sammy grimace. They couldn't say no since the name kind of made sense, but they also thought they would need to form an intervention for him and his naming style. 

"Let's just talk to the others about it later. But yeah, we will form a group. I think I might want to change my career path." Louis said this without even hesitating. The possibilities seemed to bloom in front of him.
