The gate closed and they all appeared in a forest, it was dark and all that could be heard was the sound of owls hooting, bats clicking and the buzzing of insects, "Where the hell are we Jack? I thought there was supposed to be a man to help us." there was anger in Alex's voice.
Jack had a strange feeling, they were surrounded by something or someone.
"Do you guys feel that?"
"...Like we are surrounded?! yes," said Alex touching the ground to scan for anything.
First, there was a thudding sound coming from the sky above them.
They all looked up and saw something close to three stars, two green and one red, moving across the darkness. They were incredibly fast.
There was a sudden growth of silence from the wind as their sharp senses began to tingle. They all couldn't see but since they weren't normal humans so it wasn't so hard for them to be aware of their surroundings.
"Soldiers!" Argus warned and rushed to form a circle of fire around them exposing a group of armored men that had already surrounded them. They were all in black metallic suits all holding high-tech guns all pointing at them, Argus couldn't see their faces because of the helmets over their heads.
"Stay back!" Jack warned the soldiers and drew out his sword but the soldiers kept on moving forward despite the flames that were surrounding them.
"You have all rights to remain silent or we will shoot." one of the soldiers yelled pointing the gun directly at Jack. He stared at the soldier and then dropped his sword instantly and put both his hands as surrender.
"Argus, stop the spell we need to cooperate they may be allies."
"How sure are you?" Argus scoffed,
"I can read minds."
Argus put down the flames and lifted both his arms as the soldiers marched forward still pointing at them.
Scarlet glanced at one of the soldiers and she tried to read his mind just like Leon had taught her, but still, she heard nothing since she hadn't mastered such magic.
"We are travelers." she tried to reason with the soldiers.
"No you're not, our sensors back at base sensed a temporal disturbance so we predicted where you may appear and now we have you aliens!" one of the soldiers said
"Aliens? What the hell! Aliens we not-"
"Shut up!" Scarlet was stopped by one of the soldiers' angry tone. This annoyed her, so she turned to the soldiers with her red glowing eyes striking fear into the soldier.
"How dare you-,"
"Scarlet no… "Alex yelled and held her hand which calmed her down hence putting both her hands up to show no harm.
The soldiers' numbers increased and they were all pointing lethal weapons at them.
"Well this is exciting," Argus whispered as jeeps swept around them each carrying an armored soldier holding a gun.
"I think we might even be in the wrong universe." he continued.
From behind, more soldiers grabbed their hands and locked them with a power dumping device, Scarlet could feel her magical connection reduce.
She had a very bad feeling about this, the universe was warning her and telling her to fight but she had to keep it in.
After that, a space craft flew down and opened its fuselage where they all led into and directed to their seats as the space craft set off the ground.
.
.
.
.
The craft landed on what looked like a military base. Scarlet could hear the strong wind as it blew all over the base.
"Guys I don't think this is Trantor." she said
"You think…" Alex added.
The fuselage opened and they were escorted out to the base where they saw the first face ever since they appeared on this world. She was standing right in front of them dressed in a white skirt and shirt with lab coat to blend with the fashion behind her were four soldiers guarding her each with a gun. She looked Asian with very dark hair and blue eyes. She smiled at their arrival and said, "I have never seen one that resemble humans."
They maybe hybrids. The boy here,"(he pointed at Argus), "can create fire and the brown haired girl am not sure but she might be bad news of some sort." the soldier reported to the woman.
She moved forward and stared at all of them but mainly at Scarlet, "Hello, my name is doctor Lin and you will be helping me with some research today."
"Where are we?" Argus asked.
"Well you are on Olympia. didn't your navigation inform you as you came to this planet which you destroyed?"she said.
Argus turned to Jack who was now confused and gave the what he called the what the fuck look.
"Bring the girl to my lab keep the other three in the cells we need to study more about these beings and what they can do." Lin ordered the soldiers then walked away. And as she ordered the soldiers began to take hold of Scarlet but Argus interrupted and shouted,
"Miss Lin wait." she stopped
"I can help you don't need scarlet I will tell you everything take me instead." Lin smirked while looking at the boy who had the courage to call her. Scarlet couldn't understand what was going on because it seemed everything was moving so fast.
Lin sighed while smirking
"Okay, bring the boy the rest go to the cell."she ordered then continued her walk from the base
The soldiers let go of Scarlet and picked up Argus instead and followed Lin where ever she was going. Leaving them behind
"We are going to find you Argus stay strong." Alex yelled as the soldiers pushed them toward the direction where their respective cells were on the base.
The three of them were moved to the bunker that was under the base where the cells were each thrown in a single cell of their own. Jack hadn't said a single thing ever since they arrived at the base. He couldn't stop thinking of how screwed they were that they are on a wrong on wrong world and that Argus was taken under the assumption his an alien.
Alex finally broke the silence, "How are we getting out of here?"
"Without our powers." Scarlet argued from the next cell and displaying her power cuffs through the bars, " its funny how they see magic like superpowers and it works."
Jack finally laughed, "Those are the rules of their universe we must abide by them,"
"Well look who has finally talked Captain Jack freakin Sparrow...…" Alex was annoyed at him even more.
Its not my fault we are here,"
"Well who didn't want to fight the soldiers because he sensed the humanity in them….you've grown weak brother …..we could have kicked there asses and be somewhere else right now but you chose to be soft."
"Your calling me soft." Jack raised his voice
"Guys!!! we don't have time for this." Scarlet broke the argument apart after raising her own voice also, "we have to help Argus we don't know what they are doing to him right now he had the courage to stand up for me because he doesn't want them to have a single drop of my powers but if they crack his which is by the way very possible it will be the end of this dam quest."
"Alright we are sorry, what do you suggest we do?" Jack lowered his tone and apologized to her.
Scarlet looked around the bunker and noticed that it was old and some bars had rust on the, "if any of us had a knife or something that can maybe cut theses bars maybe we can weaken them and break through."
"I have one." Alex pulled out her blade from her pocket and held it between her cuffed hands.
"Great now I need you to hold it tight then cut through the rusted parts of the bars to make them weaker and once ready you break through and help us to." Scarlet instructed.
Alex did so as Scarlet had said then broke from her cell.
