Chapter 507 Imminent escape (1/2)

Ohhhhh boy. It's the Squad! The Team! The Gals! The Sisterhood! The Family! The Colony is coming to get me! I feel giddy, it's almost like I'm being broken out of prison. Wait, that's exactly what's happening. Need to stay cool. No need to let people know what's happening. As far as they're concerned, business as usual. Which means, training, eating, mutating and getting ready to fight the next battle. I'll need to try and meet Jim soon and see if he's ready to progress with his escape strategy. Should probably check in with Sarah to see if she wants to come with us. I sort of doubt it, considering how reluctant she was last time we spoke.

In my mind the ideal scenario is till that I escape and make my way out to re-join the Colony. If those crazy ants bust into this place… it'll get real messy real quick. And not just for the Shapers. I can't imagine an invasion by thousands of ant monsters would be swept under the rug. Once the word got out the Goglari would pull together an extermination force. Hundreds, maybe thousands of those d.a.m.n Warriors, with Shaper support and who knows what other tricks they've got stashed away under the rug. It would be a disaster, one that I'm keen to avoid.

Gotta get busy. Not wanting to waste time, I throw my brains into training even as I chomp down on the Bioma.s.s in front of me. Torrina raises an eyebrow at me.

[So keen to train today, Anthony? I can feel you working your mana.]

[Things are only going to get tougher from this point on. Can't afford to stuff around. Gotta train, then mutate.]

[Alright. Granin will be happy to hear it. Give me a second and I'll help you.]

[Sure. Any chance I'll be able to get another meeting with Jim and Sarah? I'd like to have a word with them soon if it's at all possible.]

[I'll talk to Granin. He's the one who can make it happen.]

[Thanks, I appreciate it.]

After stretching her mental muscles for a few minutes, Torrina is ready to start sending magic my way and I fall back into the familiar patterns. Weave my Spells together whilst tearing hers apart. Stretch the minds, push to the edge. After the first hour my training partner seems to notice something is different.

[Are you in good shape today, Anthony? You seem to be holding up better than usual.]

[I'm good to go for ages yet. I'm not even tired!]

[… that's what I mean.]
