Matt stretched, he had just finished an interview with Lucy and personally sent her back past the evacuation zone, then he sat down again and looked up at the moon for a while before Eve silently appeared besides him and sat down next to him, she too gazed up at the moon for a while before she leaned her head on his shoulder and asked
“Did I do something wrong?”
Matt felt a certain amount of pain in his heart when he heard her defeated tone, after a brief silence he spoke as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder
“You have done nothing wrong Eve, even if you had, I would forgive you”
Eve closed her eyes before she spoke a moment later
“Michelle and Go are landing in JFK airport in a few minutes&r
Matt woke up, he had just had a nightmare it was still ever so fresh in his mind, yet so blurry at the same time, he had been a great dragon soaring the skies and brining pestilence and death wherever he went, he was so forced on trying to remember his nightmare that once he snapped out of it he realized that he had missed the bus “Shit…” Matt snapped out of his state of dream remembrance and hurriedly got dressed before stuffing some slightly stale toast down his throat, entirely without butter, then he rushed out of his small apartment and almost forgot to shut the door after himself before he jumped down the stairs, soon he reached the street, busy as always, then he remembered to pace himself as he began jogging towards the bus stop In the nothingness, something stirred After Matt got seated on the bus, he breathed a sigh of relief and tried to calm his breathing as he glanced around to check if anyone was looking at him funny, midway he locked eyes with a dog that was neatly
Matt stood and watched the river flow for a bit before he walked back into the forest, as he walked he looked up trying to spot some fruits hanging in the trees above, as well as that he was alert for the surrounding sounds, he could hear birds singing and animals letting out calls in the distance, the forest wasn’t quiet at all, then soon he spotted some fruit, however he had to climb a bit up a tree for them, Matt felt his rumbling stomach and eventually decided to climb the tree. The fruits tasted quite sweet, Matt ate a quite a few before he walked back to the river and decided to follow it down stream, a few days passed like this, other than being mauled by a large primate with 4 arms which smashed his body into mush, Matt was doing great, he lived off river water that had jet to give him any problems and eating fruits from the forest ‘Good thing there are fruits around… Or I would probably have starved to death…’ The night of the 4th day soon approached, Matt found a tree and
Matt’s breathing gradually stabilized as he calmed himself down, then he grabbed the torn off limb from the bear and tore off a claw from it before he walked over to the carcass of the bear and grabbed its remaining front limb before he pulled it to the left rolling the bear over on its back, then he grabbed the tron off claw and used it to cut open the bear’s chest, as he tore into the skin of the bear the smell of blood and raw meat became overwhelming, still Matt continued cutting until he found it, a small monster core in situated just before he reached its heart, he grabbed it and pulled it out, then he tossed the claw aside and walked over to the river and washed the blood off his body, when he touched his chest he was surprised and muttered“...Well, would you look at that”The 4 long cuts on his chest had already closed and had stopped bleeding, Matt speculated that it would take no longer than a few days before they were completely healed, then he looked at the core in his ha
Matt waited for the next arrow for a few moments before a thought popped into his head‘Maybe this little one wasn’t meant for me..?’’Matt walked over and pulled the arrow out of the boulder before he inspected it, it was made entirely from metal but besides that there were no markings on it or anything else to identify it, Matt shrugged before he looked into the forest, then he sighed and decided to give it a go“I wonder how they will react once a naked person comes running out from the forest with their arrow..?”Matt was of course wearing clothes when he arrived in this world, though it didn’t last long and was soon torn to shreds, so he was, as he said: Butt nakedMatt kicked off the ground and leaped onto a branch before he kicked off it and jumped to the next one, he moved in the direction where the arrow had come from for about a minute before he heard the sounds of metal meeting metal, the sound of battle, and soon the people fighting came into view, it was a particularly na
“Well first off, this little one got to go…”Matt looked down at the arrow that was still firmly planted in his stomach and sticking out on the other side on his back, grabbed the arrow head on his back and pulled the arrow out rather easy, the fact that it is a slim arrowhead specialized in penetration powers helpful when one needed to remove the arrows‘Not that any normal person would ever need to remove the arrow willy-nilly like me…’Matt looked at the arrow in his hand for a bit, then he shrugged and threw it aside before he walked over to the corpse of the swordsman, then he removed the metal paw that had flattened his chest before he tore through the skin and found exactly was he expected, the organs of the swordsman had turned to mush, but besides that there was a clear core in the middle of his chest“Guess if this is a monster core…”Matt gazed at the monster core in his right hand before he looked at the smaller core he had just tron out from a corpse“Then this is a peopl
Matt’s smile widened slightly before he nodded, then he spoke“Great, looking forward to working with you, Felicia…”Felicia nodded before she swung her long spear over her shoulders and walked over to Matt, when she reached him she clapped him on the shoulder and asked“Could you take me and a small group to where you killed the metal panther?”Matt nodded before he added“As long as I approve of the members of this small group, some of your people don’t look to take kindly to my presence”Felicia nodded before she showed a thin smile and turned her head to the side and called out“Jo, Bella, Ike! Get your tools, we have ourselves a free dinner to partake in!”3 people quickly grabbed their weapons from the camp before they jogged over to Matt and Felicia, Matt glanced at them, 2 were women and one was a man, they all seemed older than the other bunch. Matt didn’t detect any killing intent from them so he turned around and walked into the forest, when they were a little away from the
Matt returned the knife to Felicia and kept the cores in his pocket before he asked“Are we done here?”Felicia called out to Ike“Ike, how much longer?”“I’m done, let’s get out of here before some nastier things show up”Matt looked over and saw that Ike had bundled up the armor pieces with some robe, he handed the bundles to the others before he also handed a bundle to Matt, only Matt’s bundle was significantly bigger than the rest, Matt was confused for a moment before he figured it out and thanked Ike“Thanks Ike”Ike showed a toothy grin and nodded before he spoke“It is as it should be, now let’s get back to camp”Matt began leading the way back to the camp, they arrived without issue, Matt stopped at the edge of the clearing and sat down on the ground, Jo asked him with a teasing smile on her face“What? You won’t come join our happy group, Matt?”Matt sighed before he asked“And get shanked in the back? No, thanks, not in the mood to get stabbed today”“Not today, eh?”“Yeah…
Matt watched the show with an interested look on his face, the fact that the nun from the Right’s temple had stabbed a fellow member of their own temple seemed to carry a whole lot more weight that the actual stab, it seemed to be an expulsion from the temple, and a rather nasty one at that, if the recruits face was anything to go by, that is… But the nun was clearly not done yet and spoke“As for the rest of you—”Felicia hurriedly spoke up“I think an example has been made, as for the others, what do you say we leave their punishment till we return safely?”Felicia spoke to both the nun and Matt, Matt waited a bit, clearly thinking it over before he appeared to reluctantly agree“Alright, fine…”Felicia appeared clearly relieved and let out a sigh before she looked sternly at the other recruits that had attempted to seal Matt’s kills before she spoke“Alright, back to camp! We need to pack up and be out of here by midday!”Matt quickly called out to Felicia“Felicia, mind if I borro
Matt stretched, he had just finished an interview with Lucy and personally sent her back past the evacuation zone, then he sat down again and looked up at the moon for a while before Eve silently appeared besides him and sat down next to him, she too gazed up at the moon for a while before she leaned her head on his shoulder and asked“Did I do something wrong?”Matt felt a certain amount of pain in his heart when he heard her defeated tone, after a brief silence he spoke as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder“You have done nothing wrong Eve, even if you had, I would forgive you”Eve closed her eyes before she spoke a moment later“Michelle and Go are landing in JFK airport in a few minutes&r
On the coast of the Atlantic sea lay the city of Porto, the city that lay in North-West Portugal was currently buzzing with news of the Alien’s appearance on TV, as was the rest of the world, walking down one of the city’s many shopping streets was a Lady that seemed rather otherworldly, her skin was slightly pale and carried a particular charm which attracted many onlookers and her pale blue dress which she wore a long pelt coat over clearly gave the impression of a high class lady, if not for the brawny man wearing sunglasses and a black suit that walked behind her was there, she would surely have been stopped by some hopeful Casanova, she carried a slight frown on her beautiful face and her blood-red lips muttered in fluent English“Hopefully this is the last place…”She stepped into a high class wine shop where she was attende
Matt appeared in the skies over D.C. At once he felt countless eyes on him, he relished in the gazes for a moment before he gazed downwards, then he paused for a moment before he thought as he folded his wings and fell though the air‘Man, my god complex is getting a little out of hand… oh well, as long as I keep it in mind…’Matt unfolded his wings a few hundred meters over the ground and glided down and landed at the press entrance to the White House before he straightened his clothes and unsummoned his wings before he gazed at the staff and security personal and spoke plainly“I don’t have an invitation, but I was called, can I pass?”Two of the security personal exchanged looks before they took a step back, one of the White
Mat’s dragon body spent a few hours basking in the solar wind before he entered a local hyperlane and arrived in orbit around Earth, influenced by the childish mind of his dragon body Matt’s dragon body floated around for a bit in orbit as an asteroid before he decided to call it quits and entered the upper atmosphere and soon touched down North of Las Vegas next to the metal facility…The next day Matt released the soldiers in his captivity, they were escorted out of the metal facility by the Illgas while Matt sat on the roof of the metal facility and watched them leave towards the edge of the city where busses were lined up waiting for their arrival, Matt closed his eyes and laid back on the metal facility’s roof and basked in the sun for a bit before he suddenly sat himself up, his dragon body had spotted something, Matt was instantly on high alert as phantasmal sk
Matt opened his eyes, a forest spread out before him, he knew at once that he was dreaming, this was the forest he had landed in when he arrived in the otherworld, soon he would be torn limb from limb by the hostile fauna of the forest, he let out a sigh and stood, and waited, though nothing appeared, even after some time“Huh…”Matt focused and waved his hand in front of his face, soon the surrounding changed as he wished“Neat”After various view changed around, Matt eventually floated around in space next to star, curled up in a ball as he closed his eyes and rested, soon the dream passed, and he fell back into unconsciousness…Matt wo
As Matt fell from the sky, ethereal skeletal wings formed behind his back which flapped once before he instantly accelerated as he did a flip midair and with a low rumble Matt slammed his feet into the ground kicking up dust as he crushed the red bricks under his feet at Flagpole plaza, the Zinfaquel terrorists that were spread over the island were instantly alerted to his descent and without waiting for the dust to clear, nor checking their lines of fire, they took aim and fired their weapons towards the dust cloud, the sound of bullets hitting steel sounded out for a bit before Matt’s figure flashed out of the dust cloud, he was completely covered in white dragon scales by now, he instantly closed the distance with the closest terrorists and punched out center mass turning the man into a thick paste with a single punch before his figure flashed towards the next terrorist, then came a 3rd, a 4th, a 5th cloud of thick red paste before the terror
Matt woke up from his light sleep, he found that the room was empty besides himself, so clearly Lily had woken up before him and let him sleep in, Matt lay in the bed and gazed into the ceiling for a bit, clearly not fully awake, after a bit he sat himself up and stretched before he got out of bed and left the room, after checking up on a few things he was pleasantly surprised to find out that there had not been any other mistreating of the prisoners, Matt stepped out of the metal facility and found Lily half laying down on a large beach chair outside the metal facility, next to her was two Illgas that guarded her, Matt showed a smile and walked up next to her“I thought you didn’t like the sunlight here?”Lily didn’t bother opening her eyes as spoke“I don’t, but here in the morn
Thomas nodded, ignoring the frightening display of power just displayed by Eve, he continued to ask about various things around the break of dawn the two parties had settled on an agreement, after the two of them shook hands Thomas spoke“I’ll have the legal department draft up diplomatic immunity for the souls you brought along with you, Matthew, but don’t expect congress to agree to anything quite yet”Matt nodded before he stretched, as he did something caught his eye again in the sky, he then straight up asked Thomas“Have commercial drones really improved so much since I was away?”Thomas didn’t get that Matt was referring to a drone flying overhead and simple spoke“Techno
Matt took a step forwards, behind him his dragon body lowered itself slightly, ready to strike, Matt spoke as his body quickly was covered by dragon scales“You guys sure are impatient…”The sun rapidly shrunk down on the horizon, as Matt walked forwards towards the city edge, in response 10 tanks rolled up in a firing line, multiple infantry support vehicles covered the tanks flanks as about a hundred heavily armed infantry, brave men and women moved up behind the tanks, they were loyal to their general and had decided to follow his orders to strike against this alien in human skin, within the tank group leaders tank the commander received his permission to engage the target“Load high explosive! We’ll blow this guy away first, then focus on the alien dragon!”
