Somewhere deep inside the bowels of the pier, hidden, was a row of different cages, all having certain fixed apparatus or material attached to them. And in them were wary power users, cramped in those specialize prison.That included the three youths of the black thirteen. They placed all of them beside one another’s containment, as they already constrained the space with prisoners.“Kyle, are you okay?”Julie shakes her own jail in order to get the others’ attention.His friends were still unconscious, filled with bruises and wounds after their struggle to fight off their enemies.It took a while before the lad opened his eyes, along with their other comrade. The man was hanging from his prison, with both his arms and feet attached to the opposite side of the box, clasp in a special cuff that encased half his parts.After a good groan, Kyle wandered his sights, checking the place where they were. His entire body throb, his wounds continued to sting along with the ache in his ribs.“
Everyone’s attention turned to several people in white robes that entered. All of them had these gas masks on, along with some odd machinery and devices. At least four uniformed individuals escorted each of them, all carrying rifles and other weapons.The youths felt a sudden surge of dread, noticing how the other prisoners were retreating to the ends of their cages. Eyes glaring while some trembled in fear.There was a pause in all three as each of them looked at each other with terror. Hearts racing at what was happening, they were the few who had recently got abducted, so they knew nothing of what went on for the past hours.“Looks like it’s time for your checkup.”The man states, giving a good tap on their cage before moving away. He had this wide grin on his face, throwing them all a mocking stare, noticing how their brave faces vanished.It didn’t take long before the said group of people reach them. The ones in robes kept looking into their devices, murmuring static words at o
“Nikolay, thank god you’re here.”One of the scientist approach the scaled man the moment he stepped into the watchtower.From there, they could see everything that was happening below. From burning containers, lights shooting in the sky and outside the walls, and an abrupt explosion every minute.“What the hell is going on?”Nikolay’s face crumples, his gaze narrowing at the chaos that was ensuing all around them. The beasts had infiltrated the barriers and were now running all over the place, and the soldiers were getting pushed back, all to avoid being overrun.“We don’t know. Those monsters suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started attacking the base.”A soldier states.He shows them the radar that they have there. The supposed black screen had gotten filled with so much red dots that it looked like that was its color.“Why didn’t the alarm sound go off?”He asks, glaring at the group that was expected to be watching over the perimeter.All of them turned pale, backing away wh
“What the hell are you guys doing?”The man murmured, seeing how Julie’s legs were out of the cage and reaching into the next one. All the while, the others were cheering her on.Finally, moving into the light, the youth had now seen whose glowing eyes those were. Their faces lit up at the sight of the guy.“Boss!”They all scream aloud in joy, tearing up at seeing him there.“How’d you guys get in here?”Julie asks, realizing that more men were coming out of the shadows behind their leader. The individuals immediately scattered to unlock the prisoners there.“We’ll, these people didn’t bother reinforcing the floor.”Raynald points to the hole that was on there. It was only then that everyone saw the rupture on the ground. They covered the thing in roots and had large petals on its side.The youngster was keen to move about in their cages as their saviors began fiddling and tinkering with the locks to open them.“It’s no surprise, considering they wanted to avoid getting noticed while
There was a pause from the two groups that were facing off upon meeting one another. There was sudden staring competition between them, since none wanted to move first, not wanting to end up on the losing side if they made a mistake.“My oh my, if it isn’t the flame demon.”Nikolay’s face turned menacing, seeing the sergeant among the people that were there.His skin quickly transformed into its full scaled, noticing the burst of crimson glow coming out of the soldier.“You know this guy?”Marco frowned, hearing how their enemy called out the man’s name.“This one’s mine. You take the other ones.”Raynald grumbled, grinding his teeth, feeling that surge of rage that began taking over him upon seeing his captors there.He had this sense of urgency and gratitude that he had the chance to meet the guy who was the reason for his humiliation and abduction.“Seems you have a score to settle.”Marco’s face turned amused, a smirk appearing on his lips, sensing the anger that was brewing at h
“See, it ain’t that hard to burn you.”Raynald smirks, seeing the sizzling skin of his opponent. His punches left deep, burnt, circular marks on the person, which his scales could not defend from.The fellow’s lips twitch, unable to let out the same look because of the stings of each attack. But his expression remained stoic, unbending, and bloodthirsty.But that all change when a shadow came crawling from behind the sergeant, making the man’s face lit up along with his eyes.“Let’s see you try that one more time.”Nikolay mumbled, once more striking a pose at the ready. Both men were unbothered by the surrounding people, as nobody else wished to join in.The area was continuously burning, thanks to the mix of flames and that green gas that increased the fire’s combustion, feeding it like a fuel.In a blink of an eye, Raynald charges in on the guy for a decisive strike, seeing that his enemy was weakening.The fellow retaliated by doing the same, and as they were about to meet midway,
Chris felt his entire body shiver, as if a full bucket of ice cold water got poured on him.From the top of the building where he was standing, he could sense that immense pressure expanding, getting stronger with each second.His eyes roamed the area from above, looking down in search of the source of that chilling power.It caused him to tremble, remembering that sensation from before. There had only been one creature who had made him feel that way, and he was certain that it was in the other world.Dread coursed through him of the possibility of the convergence starting, seeing as the monsters from the mist could move freely without its influence.But then, something was off, since a lot of the so-called creatures died midway, and the ones his beasts were battling did not put up much of a fight, only relying on their immense numbers.He halted his contemplating when he felt his wrist vibrate. It was from the communication sphere that he had made, glowing orange.With a flick of his
A mound appeared right in the middle of the two groups, growing to a few feet before bursting. It released a black figure that exerted so much energy that it made the wind crackle. It also caused lightning to build up in the air, making everyone duck for cover.All of them gaped, as the dirt that was covering it fell off, slowly revealing the being’s full form.“What the fuck is that?”Marco groaned from pain, feeling the pressure of the energy all around them increasing, pushing him down to fall on the ground.“I’m not liking this.”Selena whimpered, suffering as she felt like being squeezed from the weight of the force being thrown at them.It became a challenge to keep their heads up, as all of them ended up laying flat on their stomachs.Yet they got a glimpse of the creature that appeared before them.Raynald was the only one who could manage himself on his knees, allowing him to get a good look at the entity.Its pitch black skin shimmered from the moonlight, glowing white lin
