Beast Attack

 Marble Town had gone from a peaceful and lonely town into a desolate town where people were afraid of going out to do anything.

But it wasn't just Marble town, the whole world was in this state but Marble town was in the worst state among all other towns and cities due to it being the place where the problem emanated from.

Houses had been destroyed with dangerous beasts now roaming the streets of Marble town.

Many had lost their lives during the attack, they would have all lost their lives if it weren't for the arrival of the soldiers from Tron Ville's capital.

To kill the beasts they needed to shoot it as many times as possible so it would be an understatement to say that the guns were making little effect.

The soldiers couldn't really do much but they managed to buy some time to enable the people to flee to safety.

The people had relocated to another part of Marble Town which didn't have many people living there and was now living as refugees.

Among these refugees were Frank and his Mother, due to her mother's condition they were both given one tent to stay in.

Other kids had to share the tents with their mates and that was why you would find about four kids sleeping in one tent.

Frank wasn't really comfortable inside the tent with his mother but he always got better sleep than his mates who had to share with more people.

It had been about a week since they all started living here and they could say that life wasn't any easier on them now.

Frank got up in the middle of the night after trying to sleep several times with all his efforts proving futile.

He looked at his mother who was sleeping peacefully and then his eyes slowly went down to her leg which had a thick bandage wrapped around it.

'Why did all these have to start happening now?' Frank thought.

The day his mother had informed him of a very good news that would have benefited him dearly was the day everything started happening.

After rushing outside with his mother and confirming the situation they discovered that everyone was panicking and was in a dilemma.

Frank himself didn't know what to do as he found his legs already shaking but in the end, he was the one to snap everyone out of their daze.

"Everybody run!!!"

Without thinking twice about what the young boy had just said everyone took to their heels but it wasn't long before the horde of beasts caught up to them and started tearing to pieces the people closest to them.

This was one of the worst moments for Frank as he wasn't much of a runner but he was trying his best not to lose sight of his mother.

As the people kept running their number kept decreasing until only about a dozen of them were left.

One of the beasts jumped upfront and was about to pounce on him but by easily rolling out of the way he avoided it, he was about to continue running when he heard his mother scream behind him.

Frank quickly turned to see the beast in front of her mother blocking her way but fortunately for her it hadn't done anything yet.

Without thinking twice he picked up a stone and threw it at the beast, the stone was on target and hit the beast on its head.

The beast responded by hitting Jessica away with its paws as it turned to Frank with a growl.

Now looking at the beast directly Frank could make out what they looked like.

The beasts which had been chasing them were all wild cats except that these ones had darker skin than usual, were larger than the normal wild cat, had red menacing eyes and very long canines.

Frank was just glad that the other beasts had carried on chasing the others and didn't pay any attention to him and his mother as he was having a confrontation with this particular beast.

Frank was slowly stepping back as the beast came closer to him while growling angrily.

The beast got to a point and decided to pounce on him like it always did, but that wasn't going to work on someone with wonderful reflexes like Frank as he easily avoided the beast.

With the beast trying to regain its balance from the jump and miss, Frank hurried to check on his mother who happened to still be on the floor.

"Mom!" Frank quickly rushed to her.

"I'm okay Frank." She had been wincing in pain but on seeing Frank she tried to put up a smile.

"No, you are not." Frank knelt down beside her and started to inspect her body only to find out that her right leg was seriously bleeding.

Frank checked the leg to see that it had a deep wound occurring from her scratching her leg on a sharp rock when she was hit away by the beast.

Frank had become so worried about his mother's wound that he had forgotten about the beast that was slowly making its way to him but this time instead of being overly aggressive and growling it was creeping towards him, he was treating him like a very difficult prey to catch.

"This is very bad mom," Frank said.

He ripped off the sleeve of his cloth and was using it to cover the wound.

"I know." Jessica forced a smile she couldn't stand getting her son worried.

While Jessica was trying to endure the pain coming from Frank trying to tie up her wound she caught a glimpse of the beast that was about to pounce on him.

"Frank," Jessica said, tapping her son on the back.

"I'm almost done, mom." He replied without raising his head.

"It's not about that." She stuttered.

Frank paused what he was doing as he remembered the beast that was still around.

He quickly turned around to see the beast almost upon him but while the beast was in the air it was met with a bullet that hit it back and sent it tumbling.

This was the time the soldiers arrived and they were just in time to save Frank from his near death.

"Are you okay?" One of the men rushed to Frank and his mother.

The other soldiers continued shooting the beast which was struggling until it slumped dead.

"David, bring these two along with you, we are heading up front for the other ones." The captain of the troop said before heading out with the other soldiers.

David was the soldier that had shot the beast from afar and was now helping Jessica up.

He put Jessica's hand around his neck as the three-headed in the same direction as the other soldiers.

"Thank you," Jessica said.

"It's my duty mam," David said with a smile. "Now let's get both of you somewhere safe."

Before leaving with David and his mother Frank felt something, he turned back and looked towards the woods to see a dark human figure standing there, he couldn't exactly make out the person because he was far away.

'You will lead me to the rest.' He heard a voice say in his mind.

    Frank had different thoughts running in his mind of what might have happened to Arnold, did he run away? But that wouldn't be possible given that the whole area was a wasteland and he would get caught by a beast. Was he carried away by a beast? That he wasn't sure of but it didn't look like any of the beasts had escaped. Maybe he was torn to shreds, this was the most possible to be the case given that his body couldn't be found anywhere around the area. While Frank was in the middle of his thoughts he began to hear slight metallic sounds coming from the van. He slowly walked to the van and was standing in front of the back door now. He was still hearing the sound but it sounded like whatever that was inside was trying to adjust its position rather than looking for a way out.

'How Come he's like this? it's only been a few hours since we came back from that battle.' Frank thought unaware that he had been out throughout the time they returned yesterday and had just woken up this morning. "Hey Arnold," Frank said as he stepped closer to him. "Hi, Frank." He said with a forced smile and change continued to pull the bag along with him. "Hey wait, where are you heading to?" "To dispose of the refuse." He stopped before saying that. "Which soldier sent you to dispose of the refuse alone?" "It wasn't a soldier," Arnold said, shaking his head. "Then who?" Frank asked.

Frank said raising his head to look at her before bringing it down again."Frank," Christiana called."Yeah.""You said we're family now right?" Christiana said."Yeah, we are," Frank said with a nod."Okay," Christiana said as she sat beside him on the bench. "And family shouldn't keep secrets from one another right?""Ugh….. sometimes they do," Frank said. "Wait, is this about the watch?""I know what I saw Frank and I also know when people are lying."

Jessica asked."No mom, I don't think I did anything to upset her," Frank said."You didn't? I wonder what she's upset about then." Jessica said."Don't worry mom, I'll go ask her," Frank said heading towards the door."You haven't told me how your first day at the academy was," Jessica said."It was great mom," Frank said quickly entering the room.He left the door open for Arnold who had entered the room a few seconds after him.The blonde haired teenager scanned the room with his eyes but there was no sign of Christiana but that was no problem because he knew where she was.He slowly opened the door leading to the balcony to see her

    Frank was quite bummed that he had been so unfortunate to make such a small sound after he had put in so much effort.'All that and I still did the poorest.' Frank thought, staring at his legs.[ Superspeed deactivated ]"What happened man? You were doing so well until the last part." Carl said after Frank had walked back to them."I slipped, that's what happened," Frank said with a low tone."You sure did," Christiana said with a smirk on her face."Don't worry man you'll make up for it in the next round," Carl said, patting him on his shoulder."I think that will be the final round for your test." Lieutenant Kate said."Oh, there's no next round," Carl said as he slowly removed his hand from Frank's shoulder."Now it's time to give you your different rank badges and your development watch." Lieutenant Kate said as the pendulum and the disc slowly began to return from where they came from.Two boxes rose beside her on each side after she had taken a few steps back.She picked up her

    The second test looked pretty harder than the first one but it was nowhere near its complexity.Carl had just completed the second test with a loud bang and a compliment from Kate. Now that he had been the first to try it out as a demonstration, Kate began to call out the rest of the students from the list she had in her hands now.The students being called out were finding it difficult to push the pendulum, those who managed to get it to the pendulum were only able to make tiny clang sounds while a few of them had given up on the way.There were still some who had managed to create reasonable bangs but they still weren't up to the one Carl had created."How heavy is that thing?" Frank asked."Really heavy and that's why they are making mistakes," Carl said."What do you mean?" Christiana asked."They are trying to use all their strength at the beginning instead of slowly pushing it with little strength and then increasing it when they get close to the disc," Carl explained."I don't

    Even Kate seemed surprised by how Frank had only taken twenty seconds to finish the course."Are you sure you didn't make any mistakes with the button?" Kate asked."No, that's the accurate time," Josh said.Everyone stared at Frank as he walked back to his spot and the stares were making him a little uncomfortable."I just destroyed your time record," Frank said, looking directly into Christian's eyes."I'm not the one with the time record," Christiana said. "Have you forgotten about princess Rapunzel?"It was at that moment that Frank looked in her direction and caught her looking in their direction but she had turned away quickly."Yeah," Frank said."When did you become so fast?" Carl asked."I don't know, maybe during my frequent runs away from beasts," Frank said."You were so fast the discs hadn't even gotten that close when you ran past them," Carl said."Stop praising him Carl, I can feel his head inflating from here," Christiana said.'I guess she'll never stop teasing me.'

    "Well, that was a second slower than the last time I did this." Lieutenant Kate said as she walked back to the kids. "A second slower?" One of the students said as she couldn't imagine how someone could finish the obstacle course faster. "So who would like to go first?" Kate asked, looking at the different faces of her students who numbered up to sixty. A boy eventually raised his hand and was immediately asked to come up by Kate. "What's your name?" Kate asked. "It's Kyle." The boy said with a timid look. "Ok, let's see how you do Kyle." Kyle stepped up to the starting place and immediately after he was given the signal to start, he took off.

The general said. "You were all called here this morning because of the threat that still lurks around our walls."Up till today no one knows the cause of all these beast rampages or where they came from but Phoenix is trying their best to get to the bottom of it and so are we."The beast rampage started about three weeks ago and since then the military of Tron Ville had been doing their best to make sure that we saved as many lives as possible.""No, you weren't!" A man screamed from the second line which was close to Frank's line. "If you had really tried your best to save as many lives as possible then our children, my child wouldn't have been sent out to fight beasts."The man sounded like he was about to break down in tears now.

    The night sky shone as bright as ever as numerous stars filled it up, it was quite a nice view if you were closer and the three friends could say the same as they watched from the porch Christiana had discovered earlier today."It's really nice to be away from all the beasts and commotion for a while," Carl said.He was standing between Frank and Christiana while holding the metal bars in front of the porch."Yeah, but we all know this is temporary," Frank said."What do you mean?" Christiana asked as she turned her gaze to Frank."Those beasts are still out there occupying our continent, one day we will have to fight back," Frank said."Yeah but you know Tron Ville can't do that alone even with the help of all the underaged kids here," Christiana said."I don't think Tron Ville is the only continent affected by this apocalypse," Frank said."What makes you so sure of that?" Christiana said."Can't you see it? Since the apocalypse started, even the good continent we share boundaries h

    A Whole New Environment

    When Frank saw the gate and large walls he never expected what he was seeing now, what he expected to see was a little place with few buildings where they would be staying but what he was seeing now was a very big city, a city six times larger than Marble town.Well-built roads ran across the streets with large storey building apartments lined up on both sides a little closer to the walls, then there were other taller buildings deep in the city and then the tallest building was the farthest from them."What is this place?" Christiana asked with an amazed tone as she stopped beside Frank."That's the Citon we have always been told about," Frank said."Alright everyone quickly move in so that these gates can be shut," Devon said.Everyone did as they were told as Frank helped his limping mother to enter the city as fast as possible, after everyone had gotten inside the vans were driven in and the gates were automatically shut.Everyone quickly turned at the sound of a roaring engine as
