Long before our time began, there were the artifacts. We know not where they come from. Only that they held great power. Enough power to conquer and enslave worlds. These relics; the Star Saber, the Keys of Kyber, the Pillars, and the Matrix of Leadership. These were the building ground of our world, but they were lost in the stars. We had searched for them for millennium, in hopes of finding them before them...but we were too late...
What a foggy day it was that day. It was like a void. Unless you could see clear for a mile you were getting nowhere, at least not fast. Not fast worked fine for the black haired teen laying in bed, sound asleep. It was Friday morning, which meant he had to go to school. It was 5:58 though, so he had two minutes before someone breaks down his door to get him up. But today, he felt different. It was like he had to move, now.
He slowly forced himself up, inching off his matress, so as to make as little noise as possible. His little brother was in the room nextdoor, so he would be the first to hear. The teen slowly opened the door while buckling the belt of his jeans, sneaking through the hall and past the room next door, attempting to get through. No luck.
"Jake...what are you doing?" asked a the door neighbor, a short boy with brown spiky bed hair. He rubbed his eyes with a yawn. "We don't need to be at school for another hour. And it's 5:59 in the morning..."
"Alan?..." the teen asked, looking down at the bed headed boy. "Why are you up?"
"Why are you?" the small boy replied sheepishly. It was weird. Normally someone else would wake them from their slumber. But they wouldn't suddenly get the urge to get on their feet without a reason. School wasn't a good reason, so something was up.
The two walked through the hall as quietly as possible, so as to not disturb anyone else that might be there. When they both got to the stairs, they saw a female figure in a coat, with black wild hair, resembling slightly to Alan's bed head, but more tame.
The youngest boy hopped down the steps, running to the woman and hugging her thighs with a smile. "Mom!" Jake shouted, following suit in hugging her upper half.
"Boys! What has gotten into you?" she only chuckled, hugging them back with a smile. She then broke away. "I thought you guys were still asleep."
"Well, I want to be. But that's not happening now." the eldest of the two joked, scratching the back of his head. They then heard a sigh from their mother.
"And I thought these would be a surprise..." she said, grabbing a small case on the counter in the kitchen. She returned and faced the two with her genuine smile still intact. "You were supposed to see them at breakfast...but now's as good a moment as any."
The brothers looked at each other, then at the case. They watched their mother slowly open it. What was in it was...surprising. And disappointing. It was two keys, with some type of encryption imprinted on them. Alan grabbed one, observing the text on it.
"This...is...awesome!" the young boy spoke, grinning in excitement. "Where'd you find these?" he asked, putting the key around his neck.
"From my trip to Africa. We found an entire temple full of items like those." she explained, handing her eldest child the second artifact. "They just reminded me of you two. You two are keys that opened up my life to a whole new adventure, and I love you both so much for that..." she grabbed them both into a hug, holding them as tight as she could.
"Mom..." Jake started, trying to squirm away.
"You're crushing us..." Alan continued, following the same action.
"Oh!" the woman let go with a smile. "Sorry about that. I'm just...excited." she spoke, then raised her finger into the air. "But now is not the time for all this lovey dovey nonsense!" she spoke heroically. "You must prepare to depart to the sector of Education!" she imitated one of the brothers character, Alphimus Supreme, from their favorite show, Bot Changers.
The morning from there proceeded like any other. The boys had gotten their wardrobe together, got breakfast, brushed their teeth, and had gotten out the door to the curve to catch the bus. They drove the same bus to the same school. Apparently Alan was able to skip two grades, because of his advanced smarts in his old middle school. The youngest of the two was a Freshman, while the eldest was a Junior.
They sat beside each other near the back. Alan studying the ancient alien like language on his key. Jake saw this and smiled. "You really like that thing, don't you?" he asked his younger brother.
"Yeah! Heck yeah!" the bed head replied with a grin. "It's so weird though. This is a language I've never seen before."
"Maybe it's Chinese? Maybe Japanese?" the eldest suggested.
The small boy only shook his head. "I've studied both of those. This is nothing like it." he conclude, looking closer at the artifact. It really was getting on his nerves, how he couldn't crack what it was. But now wasn't the time for it.
The bus stopped at the parking lot of the Highschool. Death Valley High. Jake and Alan were usually the first to get out, so that Alan wouldn't get swept up by the crowd of students. Today however, the small boy seemed off. He was staring out the window to the other side of the road, seeing a Police Patrol Mustang across the street. Normally he wouldn't pay much mind, but that particular patrol car was tailing their bus since they had left the bus stop.
"Hey. Alan?" his brother waved his hand in front of him, soon snapping him out of his trance.
"Oh, what?!" he stuttered, quickly getting up and running off the bus. Jake only looked out the window, concerned. What was wrong? He had to find out.
The Police Mustang revved it's engine, sounds of whirring inside, as a humanoid shaped machine was typing on the computer in the driver's seat. Said machine then pondered for a second. "And you are sure about this, Frenzy?" a deep demanding voice spoke. Making this Frenzy nod.
Frenzy then clapped vigorously, as he was done with his typing on the computer, which was an ID for the school right beside them.
