Supervillain Idol System: My Sidekick Is A Yandere-Chapter 595: Event Day 1 (Part 10)
At the rear—
Don and Charles held onto the upper bar with one hand each.
Their bodies moved with the vehicle—
But their focus never broke.
Not once.
Their eyes stayed upward.
Tracking.
Watching.
Across the skyline—
The towering sprouts still stood.
Vines lashed outward in wide arcs, striking at anything within reach.
But now—
Resistance had increased.
Figures moved through the air.
Fast.
Superhumans.
Some collided directly with the vines—
BOOM—!
Others struck from a distance, blasts of energy slamming into the structures—
THOOM—!
Chunks broke away.
Fell.
Fighter jets screamed overhead—
SHRREEEEEE—!
Missiles launched from their wings—
ROOOOSH—!
Impacts followed—
Explosions tearing into the stems—
BOOOOM—!
Damage.
Visible.
Significant.
It looked like they might win.
Eventually.
But neither Don nor Charles focused on that.
Their attention stayed higher.
Far above.
Where the missile heads had scattered.
Charles squinted, trying to catch even a glimpse.
"...nothing yet," he muttered.
Don didn’t respond.
He just watched.
Waiting.
That feeling—
Still there.
They didn’t know what was coming.
Only that it was.
---
The vehicle pushed deeper off-road.
The terrain shifted.
Less open.
More dense.
A mildly forested stretch came into view ahead.
Trees.
Close together.
Branches low.
The path narrowed.
Amanda leaned forward slightly—
Then saw it.
A tree directly in their path.
"Watch out!"
Her voice broke out fast.
But—
Winter didn’t flinch.
Didn’t brake.
Her right arm lifted from the wheel.
Hand extended out the window.
Palm forward.
The skin along her forearm shifted—
A circular section split open—
Segments retracting inward—
Revealing a concentrated blue glow within.
A low hum built—
Vrrrrr—~
Then—
A beam.
Thin.
Focused.
It fired forward—
FZZZTT—!
Gone in an instant—
Then—
BOOOOM—!
The space ahead erupted.
Not just the tree—
Everything around it.
The blast expanded outward, vaporizing wood, soil, and rock alike. The ground itself collapsed under the force, forming a sudden drop—
A ditch.
Clean.
Deep.
The Land Cruiser drove straight into it—
THUD—!
Then out the other side, suspension compressing as it climbed—
GRRRR—!
And emerged—
Back onto a road.
Smooth.
Clear.
Ahead—
A facility.
Large.
Silent.
Familiar.
G-Tech.
Or what remained of it.
Abandoned.
Gates closed—
For a second.
Winter didn’t slow.
The vehicle accelerated—
VRRROOOOM—!
Then—
CRASH—!
The gate tore apart as the Land Cruiser broke through after a drift, metal bending outward under the force.
They drove in.
Without stopping.
Then...
The Land Cruiser came to a sudden halt—
SKRRRRT—!
The front dipped slightly from the force.
Before the engine even settled—
Don was already moving.
THUD—!
He stepped out fast, boots hitting the ground as his eyes swept the surroundings once.
Charles followed right after, dropping down beside him.
Don didn’t waste time.
He pulled the rear door open and looked inside.
"Come on," he said. "Let’s go."
Quick.
Calm.
No panic in his voice.
Inside—
They moved immediately.
Belts came off in rushed motions, hands fumbling slightly in the urgency.
Amanda stepped out first, followed by Samantha who turned back, guiding Summer along.
Claire helped Sylvia out carefully, one hand steady on her shoulder as she stepped down.
Their movements carried that edge—
Nervous.
Tight.
Eyes moving too much.
Don turned his head slightly.
"Winter," he said, "lead them to the lab."
Winter had already stepped out.
She gave a small nod.
"Of course."
Then, without pause—
"This way. Follow me."
She turned and began walking.
Not fast—
But direct.
No hesitation.
The group followed.
There were looks.
Confusion.
Curiosity.
The facility around them sat quiet.
Too quiet.
Broken sections of wall.
Dust settled over surfaces that hadn’t been touched in a long time.
Faint marks from older activity remained—scorching, structural damage—but nothing recent.
Their footsteps echoed lightly as they moved deeper.
Charles walked just behind the girls, his gaze shifting across the interior as he took it in.
"...lab?" he asked.
Don nodded once.
"Yeah."
That was all he gave.
No explanation.
"Let’s hurry."
Charles didn’t push it.
He followed.
Behind them—
Don stayed at the rear.
Watching.
Listening.
Summer glanced back.
Once.
Then again.
Her steps slowed slightly as her eyes locked onto him.
A thought crept in—
’Is he... staying behind?’
Her chest tightened.
’Is he going back out there?’
To fight?
To stop whatever was coming?
In her mind—
That made sense.
That’s what someone like him would do.
Her grip on Samantha’s sleeve tightened briefly.
Then—
She saw him still walking.
Still following.
Not stopping.
Not turning.
Her shoulders eased slightly.
She faced forward again.
---
They reached it soon after.
The entrance stood closed—
Until—
A soft tone sounded—
Bzzzt—~
The doors slid open.
Smooth.
Effortless.
Summer’s eyes flicked slightly.
Her expression shifted—
Just for a moment.
Something behind that look.
She didn’t say anything.
None of them did.
But the question sat there. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
’What is this place?’
They stepped inside.
The space beyond was the same as lasy time.
Systems inactive.
Amanda’s eyes moved across the walls, taking in the structure, the equipment.
"...what is this place?" she muttered under her breath.
No answer came.
Ahead—
The hidden elevator rose.
Waiting.
The doors slid open with a soft chime—
Ding—~
Don stepped forward slightly.
"Get in."
He gestured.
Claire moved first, guiding Sylvia inside.
Samantha followed with Summer close beside her.
Amanda stepped in last, turning slightly as she looked around the interior space.
The elevator filled quickly.
There wasn’t enough room.
Samantha hesitated.
Her eyes flicked toward Don.
A trace of worry surfaced again.
Don caught it immediately.
He was about to speak—
But Claire beat him to it.
"Surely you could squeeze in," she said.
Don shook his head.
Immediate.
"No. It’d be dangerous."
His tone didn’t leave room for argument.
"Don’t worry. We’re right behind you."
Samantha didn’t look convinced.
But she held it.
Swallowed it down.
Then nodded.
"...okay."
The doors began to close—
SHHHK—~
Sealing them inside.
The elevator started its descent—
HUMMMMM—~
---
Don and Charles stood in front of the closed doors.
Waiting.
Winter stood slightly behind them.
Still.
Silent.
No one spoke.
The quiet stretched.
Not empty—
Just held.
Below—
Inside the elevator—
No one spoke there either.
The descent continued.
Each second dragging longer than it should.
Summer’s eyes stayed forward.
But her thoughts moved.
Fast.
That door opening earlier—
The systems responding—
This place...
Her fingers shifted slightly at her side.
The elevator slowed—
Then stopped.
Ding—~
The doors slid open.
And revealed—
The lab.
The hidden one.
Everyone paused.
Confusion.
Uncertainty.
They stepped out slowly.
Taking it in.
The scale.
The structure.
The unfamiliar layout.
Amanda’s brows pulled together slightly.
Samantha looked around, unsure.
Claire’s gaze moved more carefully, taking in details.
Sylvia stayed close to her side.
Only one reaction stood out.
Summer.
Her eyes widened—
Just a fraction.
But enough.
She stepped out first.
Slow.
Drawn forward.
---
Upstairs—
The elevator returned.
Ding—~
The doors opened.
Charles stepped in first.
Don followed right after.
Before the doors closed—
Don spoke.
"Worried about your family?"
Charles shook his head.
"No."
His tone stayed even.
"They can take care of themselves."
His eyes narrowed slightly.
"...this is bigger than that, Don."
Don’s expression shifted.
Just a little.
He looked at him.
Didn’t fully follow.
’Bigger?’
He was about to ask—
But the doors closed—
SHHHK—~
And the elevator began to descend.
The question stayed unspoken.
For now.
