Chapter 4 - The long awaited arrival and the black ambush

After around ten minutes, the friends and classmates finally made it to a room. There was light in there. When they got inside, a strange feeling reached them. A cold feeling, like someone, or something, was telling them to leave immediately.

'We shouldn't be here! Let's go guys, before they find us.' Zigs said loud with his voice shaking.

'You had your chance to go, why are you still here if you are so scared? Don't tell me you care about us.' Mat said.

'Just ignore him Mat. The only reason he is here, is because he wants to show off to Sara. If he pisses his pants though, we will all beat him up together, I can assure you that much.' Ky said to stop them from arguing.

'Screw you Ky! You always know everything and boss everyone around!' Zigs said in an attempt of finding supporters and leave this place. Ky turned around towards him and gave him a cold look.

'If you wish to continue talking, I must inform you that I won't use words to stop you. Do you still wish to continue talking?' Ky countered him while tightening up his fists.

'Give it a try fool!' Zigs said and jumped on Ky, who jumped himself towards Zigs, wrapped his arm around his neck, forcing Zigs to fall back down and getting knocked out with one shot.

'I will be polite today and give you one more chance to cut your crap off, just because what is here intrigued me. So, what's your answer?' Ky asked Zigs, who stopped talking and just nodded to him while he was getting back up with Sam's help.

'Now, anyone who has an idea of what that control panel is in the middle of the room? I'm a gamer, but that's pretty much all my computer knowledge other than fast typing. That thing is just a metallic table with a lot of buttons and lights.' Ky said, pointing at the control panel in the center of the room and raised his hands, as a sign of weakness, when he said what he wanted.

Mat went near it and looked around it for possible traps. After he made sure that no one would lose a hand or a leg after they come in contact with the machine, he started playing with its buttons. Doors opened, sounds were heard, but nothing really weird happened. Mat took another look around the panel, without being able to detect anything that could possibly give them a clue. Sam lost his temper, as he was the one that got easily frustrated in the team, and decided to kick the panel.

'Damn you useless machine!' Sam shouted and the machine fell off.

All the others froze for a moment, since that would be a very obvious clue, that someone came here and messed things up. On the other hand, under the panel a switch was revealed.

Everyone looked at each-other and in the end they all looked at Ky.

'Alright, alright! I insisted on getting here and staying, I pull the switch.' he said and pulled the switch down, opening the floor which it was put on.

A large see-through capsule surfaced from the floor. It seemed like there was someone inside, like a little child, curled up, floating on some sort of liquid. The view was simply amazing. They couldn't believe in their eyes! The thing that they were looking at wasn't human! It had wings on his back, but it surely wasn't any kind of angel. Everyone was looking at it admirably, like it was some sort of delicious dish, something exotic that needed to be explored and revealed to the world. All except Ky, who was frozen from the shock. He could recognize the thing that was in the capsule. The hairstyle, those scars and those wings! He had no doubt about who that thing was, but he couldn't believe in his eyes. It was him! At least, half of him. The thing was a character he created years ago in a game.

'There is no way... How? Why is HE here? And what do I do? Do I tell them the truth? Do I look suspicious right now? How does my f-' he stopped thinking because he heard something from behind him.

He slowly turned around and faced three armed with firearms men with black costumes pointing their guns at him and his friends, with seven others following them not too far behind. The men in black were pointing their guns to the group that was curious of what existed in this warehouse. The human-like creature was still behind them, inside its capsule, without reacting.

'Haven't your parents taught you to stay away from weird warehouses?' one of the men asked and smirked.

'Please don't hurt us! We didn't see anything! I didn't want to come here!' Zigs fell on his knees yelling and begging for his life.

'That is correct.' Ky stepped forward and at the same time all the guns were pointing on him. He stopped and said 'They didn't see, learned anything nor wanted to come in here. Let them go and do whatever you want with me. Besides... they have no clue about who the thing in the capsule is.'

The men looked at each-other and they looked like they were communicating with some kind of telepathy.

'YES! EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID! PLEASE LET US GO AND KEEP HIM! PL-' one of the men shot Zigs down. His head exploded like a watermelon. Natasha screamed at the top of her lungs but stopped when she noticed one of the men was pointing his gun at her.

'You speak way too much boy. Maybe now you can be a bit more silent.' the man who shot said and looked back at the rest of the kids, some of which were trying to hold their tears until they heard what he said.

'I told you to keep your mouth shut, you foul...' Ky said with low voice and moved his gaze from the dead body of Zigs to the men, waiting for their answer. The man looked back at him, directly in his eyes, and noticed that the kid wasn't joking nor was afraid. The eyes of the man were telling that he was about to do something he didn't want to.

'I am sorry kiddo' he said and the guns got ready to shoot everyone 'but you all die here-' the man didn't get the chance to finish his sentence and Ky said fast 'What if i tell you that I am the one who created that thing then?' he asked. He pointed at the creature. 'You know, that Milerion.'

The man was shocked from listening that word. He realized that the kid might have useful information for their organisation.

'Alright then kid, you have earned your life.' the guns pointed at the rest of the kids 'Only your life.' Ky jumped towards the men almost instinctively while the guns were triggered. At the moment that a bullet was about to get planted in his right eye, time and space stopped. He looked around and saw the bullets floating, his friends frozen in fear, the men determined to do anything and... he noticed a light coming from behind.

'What... in the world is going on?' he asked with a shaking voice and moved towards the capsule. He noticed the temperature had become way lower than what it was supposed to be. It was the middle of November but it was way too cold even for that time. He looked at the creature behind the glass. The creature had opened its eyes and was looking directly in Ky's eyes, like it was looking at his soul. In his head he was listening voices shouting and screaming, making unable to understand them. After a bit the voices started to calm down and he was able to understand some of what the remaining voices were saying, but the most shocking of them all was a single phrase of two words...

'You... came...'
