After an hour of fighting, general Gently’s men started retreating, disappearing within the covers of the mist. The man himself withdrew into the veil of that thick, grayish cloud.The doctor’s lackeys cheered in triumph, having push back their enemy who tried to destroy their weapon. All of them letting out laughs, because even the monsters that were charging in had vanished.Chris watch as the group celebrated their victory and after a thorough observation, he confirmed his theory about them.Once they became complacent enough, he makes his move, stepping out of the guise of the fog calmly.“I knew you were still alive. Doctor Howard Steinz.”He states, narrowing his sights at the man who stood in the middle of them all.The geezer’s smile faded, frowning upon seeing him walk unfazed in front of all those men.The crowd was quick to gather, blocking themselves in defense of the elderly fellow.Those who had a barrier ability created a gigantic dome, protecting both the machine and t
Chris stared above, watching that beautiful large planet in the sky. He smiles, unable to believe that they are going to collide with such a gorgeous thing.He turns his gaze to the pyramid, humming non-stop. Spike roots rot around it, barely touching the area. The golems which tried to go near the site all crumbled.Once again, he fires a shot. The beam deflects, ricocheting on the nearby tree.He clicks his tongue in frustration. The machine had created its own barrier. He could only find out after getting pushed back when he approached it.“Fascinating, isn’t it? My life’s work.”The gurgling voice states.Chris’s eyes rolled, huffing in irritation before turning to the now crawling geezer.The old man’s head popped out of the body of a large beetle larvae, web like mucus continued to flow out of him, three hands twitching with excitement.Even in his new form, the fellow remained pompous of his job, as it showed in how he gaze at the mechanism.“Yes, I would have commended you for
The skies began opening up, tornadoes appeared increasingly. It started wreaking havoc, along with the continued earthquakes.Chris witnessed it all, watching how the land was breaking because of the machine. He took in a deep breath, feeling the drudge in his chest, contemplating on his plan if it will work.He’d been starting there for an hour now, and all this time, he was having doubts because of the fear which was nudging inside of him.He was so far in his thoughts that he hardly notice the portal opening nearby. Out came Raynald, a healed up Oliver, and the others.All of them stunned to see him just standing there, unmoved by all the chaos, looking into the nothingness with lifeless eyes.“Matriarch, everything all right?”It was the sergeant who asked, being the only one bold enough to approach and check up on him.That wake him from his dreamlike state, sensing those familiar energies. He smiles, having those warm presence surrounding him.Them being there somehow jolted his
Within the darkness, on a floating platform made of trees, vines, and krad carcasses, was Chris, sitting on a throne of spikes and bent trunk, along with the wriggling doctor. The roots of the fauna continued to grab hold of the now silent machinery, as it too remained helpless in the void.“We can breathe! Fascinating.”Steinz chuckled, as they were both able to remain alive, even within the emptiness of the space. A thing which was impossible. The chill prevailed, together with the silence, but it did not bother both of them, being protected by the makeshift vessel.“Let’s see you enjoy it when you get bored with the place.”Chris grumbles, sighing as he narrowed his gaze onto the infernal device. The object may have stopped, but he was certain its power remained.“I am positive we can find a way to kill boredom in someway.”The old geezer let out another cackle, enjoying his weightlessness, swimming within the nothingness like a serpentine fish. He used his webs as an anchor, makin
A loud boom echoed all throughout the sky as if something had exploded within the earth's atmosphere, in just a few moments ring-like wave of white and black rays passed through the sky, raining down a similarly colored stardust for a few seconds.The whole phenomenon was seen all throughout the world, as all of humanity had managed to witness the wondrous thing that had happened.Suspicions, fear, and intrigue arose from a lot of people as each and everyone who saw the incident had their own theories and guest on what had occurred.Newsfeeds suggested it was caused by an abrupt explosion of a large meteorite that entered the earth, conspiracy theorists suggest it was a new weapon b
When Chris stepped inside the huge tube-like mechanism the machine's arrowhead started going haywire. Scientists were baffled looking at one another, murmuring to themselves all the while giving glances towards him.All he could do was force a smile as he felt so awkward right now, being stared upon by several people wearing white lab coats while wearing only a very thin piece of white underwear.It was obvious that everyone was awe-struck seeing as how the system was acting up because of him. But that didn’t stop them from writing down their notes on the find.“Mister Cruz, please step out of the chamber so that we may now proceed with the other tests,”Chris was only able to nod, feeling really awkward at the moment. The people around him didn’t even care to give him a robe, only interested in proceeding with their work as fast as possible.
Though no longer aware of what was happening, Chris ended up being lucky as several more tests were done during his stupors, such as gas poison, acid drips, and burns. He was only able to wake up when he felt the world-shaking around him as two men carried him in a stretcher. Shakily, he tried to open his eyes to see where he was being sent. Though he could still feel the pain, all his wounds and scars were completely gone when he was brought to the physical examination room. Inside, there was a man with glasses, hair in a rugged ponytail, he seemed to be contemplating while looking at the clipboard that he was holding, rubbing his chin before letting out a deep sigh. “This is the subject sir,”
“Here is your personal Badge, I.D. and you should be able to get your uniform from the supplies officer on section three,” the soldier in worn-out fatigue politely placed the card along with the metallic pin on his hand, even saluting after to give his respects. Chris knew the man was only doing this because he didn’t know the truth about him, still thinking that he was still one of them, one of those special ones. Chris winced, seeing the large letter in bold font on his card with a picture of him smiling and a barcode below. Along with the symbol of what seemed to be an eye. “Thank you,” he could not help but bow down, ashamed of the respect being given to him, knowing that his title was all
