Chapter 2: Incident
***
5 years ago
Next to him is his mom, who seems to be reading some medical books on radiation, and Aiden is sitting on the window seat of the plane.
His mom is a very famous doctor and researcher who invented many vaccines, but not many people know her actual face; they know her by her pharmaceutical company name, Cross, which is also their last name.
The medicine they produce in their company mainly focuses on radiation, but that doesn't mean they are far behind in other cases; they are the largest producer of medicine in the entire world.
Even after many years of the war, there are still some lingering effects found in a minority of people, although it is not a small number globally. Knowing how kind his mother is, she didn't want people to suffer, which is why she focused more on radiation.
We live in a Tier-1 city that is only for the elites of the world because his mom is a well-known doctor and researcher who has greatly contributed to the future of humanity, and people like his mom can be counted on one hand.
While his mom was reading, he was sipping orange juice and gazing outside from the window of the plane because he had nothing better to do.
Currently, he is only 11 years old. From the perspective of people in society, he is a genius, while kids his age are doing their middle school homework.
He had already completed his high school syllabus, and he could do even more if he wanted to, but he was not going to do it. The reason for that is very simple: it's so boring.
His mom is super rich, and even if he wanted to spend all the money his mother had, he couldn't finish it.
While you are thinking of buying tons of gold and diamonds to finish the money, he meant it in a logical way, not a stupid way, because he can simply burn it if he wants to; however, he is a genius for a reason.
Aiden thought, 'I think I have insulted myself there.' 'Ugh... The point is, this world is so boring.'
Just as Aiden lost himself in his own thoughts, a few kilometers away from his current location high in the sky, a small black portal opened in the sky, which is 50 cm in height.
From inside the portal, a small, half-black, and half-white glowing sphere seemed to come out, and all around it were more than seven rings, each of two different colors, spinning around it and emitting a dazzling light. If one were to look at it, they would be entrapped by its beauty.
The mysterious shining ball was moving in the direction where Aiden was currently flying on the plane. A few minutes passed while Aiden was still lost in his own thoughts.
The mysterious ball was coming closer and closer, still 400 meters away from Aiden.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Aiden noticed outside the window of the plane a rainbow-colored light becoming brighter and brighter.
'No, no, no… It's not becoming bright. Something is coming closer in his direction,' Aiden thought and the first thing he wanted to do was tell his mother and that's what he did.
"Mom, look outside; something shining is coming toward the plane," Aiden called to his mom in his childish voice.
When Alice suddenly heard her son calling her, she listened to him and looked outside the plane window. She also noticed a colorful, shining sphere coming closer to her son's window.
While she was still thinking, only a few seconds had passed, and the mysterious sphere had already entered within 100 meters of the plane. Suddenly, all the plane functions stopped working, and the plane started to fall downward.
Alice noticed the plane falling down, and the first thought in her mind was how to keep Aiden safe.
She had already noticed the abnormal speed at which the plane was falling, but she still wanted to be closer to her son even in this helpless situation, hoping she could block some injuries for him and, by some miracle, he would survive.
"Aiden, quickly come to Mommy," Alice yelled, thinking about the plane, with tears threatening to fall any moment from her beautiful black eyes, but she held herself back.
Aiden, unbuckling his seat belt, came closer to her seat holding properly to the seat to fall into the shaky plane as he reached her.
Alice quickly put Aiden in her lap, facing him, while Aiden's face was buried in her bountiful breast. She quickly wrapped both of her arms tightly around his body as if she were trying to hide him in her body. She also noticed that the plane was falling faster than it naturally should have.
All around her, people were panicking, and the cries of various passengers were heard as she clutched Aiden more tightly.
The other people on the plane also noticed the light, as it was a dazzling light that could be seen from far away.
"Hic, hic... We are all going to die. Is God punishing us? What is this light?" The lady in the seat right in front of Aiden said this and suddenly started mumbling to herself.
"Please, God, forgive us," she started repeating again and again.
And after a loud desperate could be heard inside the plane.
"No, I don't want to die. After how many years, I have finally landed a job. No, no, no!" a man four seats ahead of Aiden shouted.
"Mommy, are we going to die?" A girl who was about 14 or 15 years old asked her mom, who was hugging her tightly. As the girl looked up at her mommy's face, she saw her crying, and she also started to cry.
Crying, yelling, and all sorts of voices could be heard as Aiden listened to the passengers, but his mind was unaffected. He thought to himself:
'As the speed of falling seems to be increasing, there is a 0.01% chance of me and my mother surviving, and the reason for this speed is that I'm 100% sure it is that fucking rainbow ball.' He cursed inwardly, thinking about their current hopeless situation.
Suddenly, Aiden felt something wet on his right cheek. As he looked up, he saw his mother crying. Aiden's heart ached to see his proud mother in this state. He knew his mother wasn't crying for herself but for his safety, trying not to make a sound so as not to worry him.
"Mom, don't cry; everything's going to be alright." He said this to his mom, knowing full well how hopeless their situation was.
His mom, hearing him, quickly wiped her tears, smiled, and said to Aiden, "Yes, my baby, everything's going to be alright."
Hearing his mom's voice, he thought to himself, 'The thought of dying doesn't scare me, but the thought of his mom dying and leaving his sister alone in this world terrifies me.'
Deep in his mind, he thought, by some miracle, he and his mom would survive this hopeless situation, but he knew full well that this was not the fantasy world he read about in novels.
This is real life, but he still wanted a chance, hoping for a miracle. He spoke to his mother in an emotional, childlike voice, pouring all his heartfelt emotions into his words.
"I love you, Mom," he said slowly, holding her even more tightly. Alice, listening to his emotional response, replied with the same emotion.
"I love you too, my baby," Alice said to her son while smiling, who was holding her even more tightly.
After a few seconds, the plane crashed into a mountain region covered in a thin layer of ice.
*Boom*
