The Five Days Or Die
Chapter 23

Ranti ends the story and installs an auto pilot, heading for the nearest time hole. He immediately joined the others, he was in the middle of that plane. The plane is quite spacious if only for 7 people there.

“Yes! I'm lucky to have a friend who's a genius at a time like this!” dani said, laughing. And they all laughed together.

“Sial! I can't move! This armor is too heavy on top! I have to wait for my left arm to recover. I can't believe they're all smart enough. But most importantly, now the time key is with me. I can continue my plans without them!” Rickzan yelled in annoyance, but he tried to comfort himself.

“A little more and I will make it happen!” said. Before long, his left arm recovered along with his armor. He also stood up.

“Well, this is better.” Rickzan stood up, turning all his creations into small, small enough to be carried in with a time hole. It's more like a plane toy. But the size is a little bigger.

He immediately picked it up, using his magnetism ability, he was able to lift everything without the slightest difficulty! He immediately walked slowly around the time hole.

It was getting dark, but it did not dampen Rickzan's intention to finish his plan. He circled the time hole, and cradled the key to fake time.

“Who would have thought something like this would be so important?” rickzan asked with a smile. It remained invisible, as he used armor with a samurai-like face covering. He held the time key high.

“I will be the ruler of the world from now on! His shout immediately pinned the time key to its place. Instantly, a beautiful blue crack crack occurred. Seems successful. But, instantly it all stopped, and changed the countdown. Right on count to one.

“APA!?” yelled Rickzan raucous. And boom! The place exploded like a world war. The explosion was heard until Ahmad's plane and friends.

“What is it?” ask Dani who stood up immediately, checking the situation.

“Looks, he's already “booming” buddy!” ahmad replied, standing, looking at the black smoke with blue lightning striking the light.

“Already expected,” replied Nadin while touching his fist on his brother.

“And I told you I'd reply you, Rickzan!” nadin said again.

“Let that be the reply, if you are too greedy and arrogant!” amy said, looking at the black smoke that soared high in the middle of the beautiful afternoon. On the other hand, Arby looked sad.

“Why you?” ask Amy.

“While he's our enemy, he's still my best student. And if he makes a mistake, then the one to blame is me, his teacher.” Arby.

“What a father! You still have the best student, who can actually beat his intelligence! Meanwhile, it was his fault for choosing the wrong path,” Nadin said comforting his father.

They soon head to another nearby time hole, where they can finally go home, meet the people and places they care about.

“Basic fucking boy! How dare he do this to me. If it's a fake time key, then he's still carrying the real one and he definitely needs that plane to get there! Goddamn you Nadin! Goddamn you!” he screamed in the middle of a darkening day. He immediately opened his spare plane, which was not destroyed in the massive explosion. His armour was damaged, leaving part of the left arm and the bottom.

“You think you can easily stop me?” he said with anger. The plane, which was small, grew. But not as big as the plane he's been making all this time.

“You want to shoot me ha? I'm giving you one thing that can't be penetrated by anything!” Rickzan with a vengeance, wants to immediately get rid of them all.

“If I stay, then you guys stay!” his screams pulled some levers.

“Everything I made, you destroyed,”

“All my plans failed ahhh!” he said he ransacked the contents of his plane.

“I'll come, destroy all of you! Ha ha!” he said while speeding fast. He opened a scanner on his plane, looking for the plane his former teacher was driving. Now, there's no more plan in Rickzan's brain, just the revenge he wants to do.

***

Fifth night, be their last night to go home, or be here forever. They all prefer the first possibility, where they go back to their time, and live life as it was.

“I didn't think he would end up like that,” Ahmad told a friend of his.

“Who?” ask Dani.

“Gosh! Rickzan! Who else?” Ahmad patted jidat.

“Oohh, germany. Yeah how else. That's life. Who is strong he who survives!” answer Dani. Everybody nodded.

“He's actually just looking for his identity. But, the desire for revenge had covered his true self. I was with him, he had high ambitions, and a high ego. That's why he can be what he is now. As long as there is a feeling of revenge, then that feeling will make Rickzan-Rickzan next.” replied Arby while remembering a little.

“How far are we from time hole?” nadin's Taanya to Ranti.

“Kira think, 2 hours away.” Ranti jabbed after seeing the steering. This auto pilot mode runs at standard speed, not too fast which makes the plane calm.

“I'm going to sleep first!” said Dani. Everyone there laughed.

“You can sleep anywhere?” ask Ahmad.

“Why not?” Dani's going to bed. And now, things became quiet when Nadin headed to the cockpit asking Ranti a few things. Ahmad and his parents are still left.

“Ahmad, listen to us. We want to hand over this tape. If something happens that is not desirable, we want you to give it to Nadin after you return to the future,” said Amy, handing over an ipad that looks outdated, but can still be turned on.

“What do you mean? I want you to give it to Nadin himself, not me. So, give it up after we get home!” ahmad said he returned the iPad to its owner.

“But Ahmad.”

“Sstt! Rickzan's gone, we've calmed down now. So, mom don't have to worry ya!” ahmad is sure. Both of his parents were silent.

An hour passed that felt like a century to all of them. And also, the plane had taken them all away from the starting place.

“How much less?” ask Dani who's awake.

“You just woke up but have asked it repeatedly tahuuu!” said Ranti.

“Ya maklumin only. I miss my room. Kasian he's alone in there. Imagine him alone there. Ha ha!” dani said while joking a little.

“Max speed auto pilot is like this!”

“Then, fly manual!” dani said half screaming.

“Capek tahuuu! You're here to fly these things instead of sleeping teruuus! This thing needs extra energy!” said Ranti.

“If our goal is to survive, it is better not to.” Dani laughs. But a moment later, a warning came up. “Danger. Danger!” and when they arrived, someone shot at their plane.

“What?! Who?” asked Ahmad surprised. Everyone immediately looked back, except for Ranti who immediately headed for the cockpit.

“Ha ha! I'm coming back and I'm going to destroy you all. Be afraid! Crying out! Nose replaced nose, eyes replaced eyes! You guys have ruined my plan, then I'm the one who will destroy you!” Rickzan, with lightning eyes full of anger, started shooting at Ahmad's plane.
