War Of The Unknown
PROLOGUE
Vestegia
commanded another Glyder to touch down in a deserted city ruins area.
Behind her were thousands of Earth's survivors, preparing to evacuate
the planet. Earth was no longer a safe planet. Terrorized by the
sadistic Bethany and her army of demons that she had freed from hell.
Her demonic destruction destroyed cities worldwide and countless
people were slaughtered. The sky bled red of her destruction.
Combined with Bethany's reign of terror was the machine army that
marched the Earth led by Haylee X, the last of the evil corporation
known as Ingrid. It wasn't long before the demons crossed paths with
the machine army and waged a war of their own. A war that the Zheroes
felt wasn't necessary to intervene. Why fight, when the two forces of
evil could deplete their own numbers? Vestegia now fully commanded
the Warpian army after making peace with Lord Tavix. She also took
the team leader slot of the Zheroes, after Natalia sacrificed herself
in Tokyo. Vestegia stared at the massive Warpian Command ship that
the human survivors were boarding.
“I
think our world can appreciate what you're doing for us.” Dead-Eye
said, staring at the bloody victims, who had been effected by the
destruction.
“For
us, being a species who has constantly been at war, we can appreciate
peace time, and join forces with another intelligent species.”
Vestegia replied.
DeadEye
pulled out a walkie-talkie.
“What's
the count in your region?” he asked.
“A
lot of slow movers.” said Zherox coming over the radio, the demon
who had been seperated from Patricia.
“How
many do you have left over there?” Dead-Eye asked.
Zherox
sighed as he counted the mass amount of weeping and scared families
that were entering another Warpian Command ship in Africa.
“I'd
say a few hundred more survivors.” Zherox concluded.
“Is
Patricia awake?” Dead-Eye asked.
“I
can't feel much coming from her.” Zherox sighed. “Even though
we're no longer one, I can still feel her. I feel like we're still
connected.”
“Keep
loading up Zherox, she'll be fine.” Dead-Eye said. “Dead-Eye out”
Vestegia
looked at Dead-Eye as he was tucking away the radio into one of his
pouches.
“Can
we trust him?” Vestegia asked. “He is of the same breed of the
enemy.”
“Some
demons go rogue.” Dead-Eye replied.
Zherox
stood at the top of the ramp and was joined by Mary-Anne, the Earth
bounded angel.
“How
does it feel?” she asked.
“What
are you talking about?”
“To
not be feeding off another' soul?”
“I
can breathe.” Zherox laughed. “I don't have to wait until sun
down to be in control.”
“Your
intentions. Why are you helping us? You're still a demon.”
Mary-Anne said.
“Yeah
but I don't feel that urge to destroy anymore. It's different.”
Zherox explained.
“It's
different for us...”
“Listen
I get it.” Zherox interrupted Mary-Anne. “The team doesn't trust
me. I'm not too worried about that. I'm just going to do my part and
earn that trust. Sounds good?”
“Sounds
good to me.” Mary-Anne replied.
“Lost
and found duty huh?” Lucas said as he glided through the city ruins
of San Francisco. “You guys couldn't give me an easier job?” he
asked into the radio.
“Just
shut up and find the survivor you were referring to?” Dead-Eye said
from the radio.
“How
about we just forget I said anything about that.” Lucas smiled.
“You said that there would be a survivor of great power here, well
keep looking.”
Lucas
tucked away his radio and continued his flight over the destroyed
city. The demons and Haylee X's machine army had cleared out, so the
only person he would sense is an actual survivor. There was a huge
spark of light coming from a bridge on the highway. Lucas squinted
his eyes and saw that it was a man, lit on fire. Lucas touched down
on the bridge and noticed that the man was slowly walking down the
bridge as if the flames that covered his body had no effect on him.
“I'm
going to take a guess and say some kind of freak accident is allowing
you to walk around while on fire.” Lucas said as he stared at the
man, who's clothes were ripped up and burned. They were badly hanging
off of him.
“Another
machine?” the man asked in somewhat of a crazed voice.
“Whoa
what? No I'm not!” Lucas shouted.
“Bullshit.
You look like scrap metal to me!” the man screamed angrily as his
forearms lit up in flames. The flamed man extended his arms and a
blast of fire shot out from his hands. Lucas rolled out of the way of
the stream of inferno. He stared up at the man, who's body began to
light up in flames. His eyes emitted a fiery light as if he had no
eyes.
“Listen.
I don't know what's going on, but if you just listen to me, I can
help you.” Lucas pleaded.
“Shut
up bot!” the man screamed, shooting out another stream of flames.
Lucas went to the ground quick, just avoiding the stream of inferno.
Lucas smashed the ground angrily with a pissed of sigh.
“Fine!
I'll just have to knock some sense into you then!” he said getting
to his feet. He unsheathed a sword and ran up to the man with a
jumping spin. The man quickly gripped Lucas' sword with his bare
hands. As this happened, Lucas's sword began to melt to a liquid
state, and bend. Lucas snatched his destroyed weapon from the flaming
man. He tossed the sword away and went to a stance. The man stared
angrily at Lucas, his body glowing with growing flames.
“Bring
it sparky!” Lucas smiled.
