The Key

by MissGlobal22

They needed to find the Key. With it, they could save the world. Without it, it could get into the wrong hands. And the world would be destroyed. Kay knew he was close to finding it- but he didn't know exactly what it was. The trouble was, Ember was keeping him from the search.

Chapter One

An Ordinary Mission

It seemed to be an ordinary mission. Agent K and Agent J had gotten a call about three Sarlokians, a highly dangerous and illegal race, taking shelter in Manhattan, but stranger things had happened. As they approached the house, the agents held their guns tightly. This could result in the deportation of the Sarlokians, or their termination.

"Careful, Slick. These guys aren't too friendly," Kay warned his partner.

Jay rolled his eyes, then casually busted down the door. "MIB! Freeze!" he shouted.

But the house seemed empty. A couch was overturned, pots and pans were strewn about, a television had a hole punched in it, and a crack in the floor streamed throughout the place.

"Angry Sarlokians," Agent K muttered.

There was a growl and a sobbing coming from one of the rooms.

"C'mon, Ace. Somebody could be in trouble," K whispered.

The two agents peered into the bedroom from which the noises came. An alien stood on the bed, growling continuously. A girl with golden and brown hair cried and rocked herself in the corner. The Sarlokian alien was gray and emanated a green glow. Three red horns protruded from its head, and it wielded six inch claws.

"Stay back, Men in Black! You may kill me, but not my children! This shall be your last day!" it hissed, and it lunged for Jay. When the monster was half an inch from the agent's face, Kay shot it. The thing crumbled into red dust.

The girl still sobbed and shook. She didn't pay any attention to the men that were approaching her.

"Hello. I'm Agent K and this is Agent J. We're just gonna take you back to HQ, and-" the older agent began.

The girl interrupted him. "You killed her. You killed her and now you'll kill me. But you'll never get Jawson. He'll come back and avenge us...but, no, I won't let you kill me. I'll...I'll s-save you the...the trouble..."

They now noticed that the girl gripped a pistol, which she was raising against her head.

"No! Stop. We're not gonna kill you. We just have to ask you a few questions," Jay intervened. "Put the gun down."

But she only tightened her finger against the trigger. "Lies," she whispered.

"Put it down. Put it down and tell us why you were here with this alien," said Kay.

Finally, the girl lowered the weapon and answered, "Reynet was my mother."
