I Fall In Love In Another Dimension
Chapter 38

Altares, surprised, touched his head looking for blood, everyone expected that he had fallen dead, what happened is that the gun was already unloaded, so the dictator looking at them all and pointing at them said:

-look, we better calm down, let's evaluate our options, if we stay here we will die in a few seconds, now you need me on the other side, I already have my troops that will serve us to fight against Rodriguez, and I promise you that I will not kill you. Estiben stood up, worried about the countdown that was coming to an end, pointing to the portal he said the following:

-you are right, let's get out of here please first let my brother-in-law take my wife along with the doctor and the other scientists, come on, the bomb is going to explode, we better go through.

The brother-in-law passed lifting his sister together with the other scientists, but Estiben, Yací and Altares remained standing, looking at each other without pronouncing words.

Estiben imagined that it would be like in a kung-fu movie, that between the two of them they would defeat Altares, while the dictator planned to incapacitate them to jump into the vortex, so he proceeded to execute his plan by telling them: -Certainly, you outnumber me, but I am an expert fighter, I have lost few fights, I don't think it will happen this time with two simple scientists.

Estiben put himself on guard throwing a cable to his face, but Altares caught it very easily with his hands, in turn the scientist made this comment:

-it is true that we cannot with you, because we are not people of fights... but we are people of science.

And with that said, he threw a switch that energized the cable that Altares was holding, causing it to begin to shake like jelly, falling to the floor, reaching to see how Estiben embraced the doctor and both were thrown through the portal, disappearing from his sight. The dictator recovered from the short circuit and tried to jump into the vortex, but immediately he heard a noise that made him turn his head looking that the bomb had exploded, he could see the great mushroom that rose in the sky and the waves of fire destroying everything as they approached, he realized that he had no chance to escape, and in a fleeting moment his existence was destroyed, a joy that most of his victims did not have, as he tortured and killed them slowly.

Thus that city was erased from the map, remaining in history recorded as the sacrifice to end a nefarious regime.

On the other side of the portal the scientists jumped, but the shockwave managed to pass a part before destroying the equipment, sending them flying a few meters to crash them against the pavement, making them lose a little sense, the soldiers surrounded them asking only one question:

-where is the leader Altares?

Yací stood up raising her hands and started to laugh looking at the blue sky in astonishment, she saw the soldiers and shouted at them:

-We killed him, we killed him! We are in command.

The general who followed him in the line of command, stepped forward and interrupted:

-Wait, if you killed the leader Pollux, then I will succeed him in command, and you will pay for your treason by being executed.

Estiben regaining consciousness, looked up, shaking his head, trying to understand his desperate surroundings, looking for his beloved, but he was very frightened to see that all the soldiers were aiming at him with the intention of shooting them, he stood up covering himself with his hands, disoriented he begged:

-wait, please do not kill us, surely we can reach an agreement, I clarify that we are in another world, where you have no idea of many things, we can help each other, besides your weapons are nothing more than lanterns in this plane.

Having said this, the soldiers fired to check how the cannons illuminated, although they were still outnumbered and outtrained. This reasoning was interrupted by the incessant cries for help from the brother-in-law crying out for his sister's welfare: -please help my little sister, she is dying on me, in the good my partners.

Estiben went to her pleas together with a group of soldiers, but her state was very discouraging; the passers-by of the place thought that it was some street theater, the desperate scientist snatched the phone to one of them, to call an ambulance, which took an eternity to arrive, they checked her with faces of despair, while the brother did not stop begging to take her quickly, at last they did it and he ran as an escort.

The general grabbed Estiben by the arm very tightly, saying to him:

-wait don Estiben you cannot leave us adrift, we know that this territory already belongs to the enemy, what do you order us?

He could not believe it, without looking for it he was becoming the leader of an army, he did not see himself in that situation, of course it would be useful to confront Rodriguez, so his imagination flew visualizing himself entering the government palace destroying everyone who crossed him, only that he was limited by the lack of weapons and the distance to where the president was, but he would replace a way to achieve it or maybe it would not be worth it, the only thing that interested him would be to be with his beloved Yací, whom he found with his eyes, which shone with the figure of his beautiful lady, being honest with himself nothing mattered, except to be with her, he thought: "maybe her love may not last forever, but I will make the most of every second I am by her side." Everyone, including Yací, waited for the words of the new leader Estiben, who was immersed in his ramblings, until they were surrounded by military troops, who announced to them like this:

-no one move, we are the national army of the union of republics under the command of President Rodriguez, your lives will be respected, you are all under arrest.

A black limousine arrived from which President Rodriguez got out, raising his hands as if to give them a hug and smiling from ear to ear, he said to them: "It's good to see you, my friend:

-what a pleasure to see you, my dear friend Estiben and the very famous Dr. Yací, you are the couple of the moment.

The scientist came running up to him, it seemed that he was going to return the hug, instead he punched him, which made the security personnel block him, trying to get away from them, Estiben shouted at him: -"You bastard! You betrayed us again, you're a piece of shit.

The president took out a handkerchief with which he wiped the blood from his face, and recited these words to him:

-wait Estiben calm down, I knew that you would replace the way to pass to this dimension, that's why the bomb had a long time to explode, besides Jose knew the codes to deactivate it, that's why I was here together with these battalions to neutralize Altares and his army. Doctor Yací approached slowly bowing, looking at the president with a certain repulsion that this leader produced in her, and said to him:

-Mr. Rodriguez, you lie to us shamelessly, it is what you are used to do, your real plan was to kill us all.

The president smiled a little bit throwing away his handkerchief, he raised his hand waving his index finger in negative sign, answering to the doctor's accusations:

-you are wrong, maybe if there was a small risk of them dying, but I decided to take the risk and in case I failed, their deaths would have become the avenging powder of a war against the residues of Altares, besides injecting emotions to my presidential campaign. Estiben struggled trying to get loose from the guards and I shout at him:

-you are a freeloader! You played with our lives and you won anyway, I hope you lose the elections.

The president looked at the horizon sighing and finally answered him very calmly:

-you are very wrong, we will win, don't forget that you are my vice presidential formula, besides some scientists predict that in two months the dimensions will collapse destroying each other, so we have to look for the solution, which will serve us as publicity to win the elections which are in three months, isn't it great?
