PANDEMONIUM
CHAPTER III: BETRAYAL (?)

"Fredrick.." A female voice called out her name, her voice was very soft.

"Fredrick... " Once again the voice called out his name for the second time and Fredricka opened her eyes slowly.

At first Fredricka thought it was the voice of her friends, but she was wrong. When Fredricka opened her eyes she was somewhere else, all white and then black when Fredricka started walking east, she saw a strange object. It was like the Core of something or another, in front of the Core there was a woman who looked the same age as him, in the chain and he just sat slowly staring at Fredricka.

Fredricka only knew she was a woman, but most of herself was covered by shadows, until finally when Fredricka saw a little closer she immediately realized that she was him, he doesn't understand what's going on.

"So, Fredricka.. This is the first time we met, are you surprised? relax, I won't prey on your brain like Pandemonium contaminated with mutants." The woman spoke, but Fredricka was too afraid to see her.

The woman laughed, the typical laughter of bad people. He then painstakingly stood with the chains shackling him and walked towards Fredricka.

"Don't come near.. Who are you and what is this place." Reply Fredricka in a frightened tone of voice, but she tries to be brave.

"Isn't that clear, you're me and I'm you." The woman smiled, her face puzzling Fredricka over what she was planning.

"Ahh, don't believe it? Well, I'm the Crystal of Vortex inside you." Its effects.

Then he gave a pause by turning around and looking at the Core that was behind him.

"I called you here of my will once my consciousness recovered, because my consciousness recovered then there was a great change in the element you brought." Evidently.

"Change? Whatchu mean?. " Reply Fredricka with a curious face.

"Pandemonium element changes of course, I neutralized it, thanks to which you now have the power of my Vortex, Thunder and Void." Reply to the woman with details.

Fredricka closed her eyes, she was not afraid now and she breathed out.

"It seems you are still confused, starting from my name and who I am. " The woman chuckled and she moved the chain with great difficulty.

"No, because we're in my subconscious, I can know your name." This time Fredricka smiled and slowly opened her eyes.

"Repidiously, it's true that I'm Promethia and it's a coincidence that we look alike." Reply Promethia.

The two of them looked at each other and suddenly Fredricka's gaze became blurred, until finally when he opened his eyes again, he was already in a room that was clearly his own room in Harbringer.

He saw Vera who was still sound asleep accompanied by a stuffed rabbit that he hugged on another mattress. Vera is so cute to Fredricka, how not to sleep hugging a doll.

"This single bed, very comfortable at home." Fredricka said in a soft voice and she was quite fond of the mattress she was wearing now.

"Are you unable to sleep, Rika?. " In that silence, Fredricka then heard Arabel's voice sounding like someone waking up.

"Still at this hour, wanna go out for some fresh air?." Fredricka said, now smiling, Arabel simply replied with a nod, reducing the commotion that would wake Vera up.

The two of them took out their weapons just in case they walked out of their room. Comfortable room with three single beds, for Fredricka it was the same as he slept in a 5-star hotel in New York.

Fredricka and Arabel now reach the canteen, the canteen is open 24 hours nonstop and guarded by robots as a Shopkeeper. The robot speaks and acts like a human and doctors call it Tesla MK1.

"..!!. "

When the two of them were about to sit down, an emergency alarm went off and the ship suddenly looked chaotic.

Without speaking, Fredricka immediately ran as fast as possible to see Vera, Arabel who was beside her also followed Fredricka.

While they were in the hallway, Pandemonium appeared with a different look. Although there are still blobs in their physical bodies, they have now evolved like very strange living things that can walk.

"Fredricka, leave this to me, you hurry up to our room and wake Vera up." Arabel then pulled out his sword and firearm and he opened a gap through which Fredricka could pass.

Fredricka nodded then she started running past Arabel, Arabel did not take his eyes off and just focused on the monster.

*Dorrs.. Dorr..*

Shots fired by Arabel against the Pandemonium and when he wanted to be attacked by the Pandemonium, the weapon he held was now turned into a fairly hard shield, make Pandemonium arms bounce along with their bodies.

In a shield mechanism there is still a firearm smuggled between the layers of his shield that makes Arabel able to fight flexibly.

"Gun Eclipse..!. " Arabel fired a small magnet floating in a circle and the magnet sucked Pandemonium around like a magnet to meet a magnet.

Not wanting to miss the opportunity, Arabel moved his teeth and slashed at Pandemonium instantly with a quick movement.

By Mori's side, Mori, who was talking to the doctors, has now fought five Pandemoniums with his Great Sword.

His Great Sword is very new and can issue a small missile with explosive power that can destroy three Pandemonium at once plus Mori get a new armor that is very powerful.

"Vera, Arabel, Fredricka wait for me, I'll come. "

On Fredricka's side, Fredricka was almost in their room, with Fredricka still full of gas running and immediately opened the door to their room.

"...!! These.. " It would be a surprise to Fredricka to see the room was a mess and one bed seemed badly damaged, the most important thing is that Vera was not there at all.

"Veras! You where!. " Excited Fredricka and now began to search in every room even the room.

*GRR.*

Just as Fredricka was about to go to the other room, Pandemonium came and attacked Fredricka. Fredricka who is still not ready can only dodge the attack with good reflexes doing a back-up salto.

"Pandemonium again.." Fredricka held up the uncoated katana and carried out the horses before Fredricka slashed Pandemonium with a single slash right at their necks.

With almost difficulty in feeling that Pandemonium had evolved to be rather powerful, Fredricka managed to and accidentally entered a space that looked like a control room.

In front of Fredricka, Fredricka sees a familiar figure, Vera. Fredricka's spirit approached him.

"Vera, thank God you survived.. Hehe, let's pu-. " Before Fredricka touched his friend's shoulder, it was like he was hit by something hard that made Fredricka bounce hard and he saw Vera, seeing Vera with Vibe that felt different.

"Vera... Why, you... "

Fredricka's gaze began to fade until finally her consciousness was completely lost and she was unconscious. Fredricka is shocked at what her friend is doing, she still can't believe Vera is doing it, but Fredricka feels as well that it's not Vera, whether she's out of control, but why she's betraying him.
