Hello Ladies and gnetlemen and merry Christmas (even though it is a bit late for that)
Welcome to the next Story I am going to present on this site. This is Power Rangers Shaolin Kung Fu.
Now to get things out of the way first... this Story is old... very old... very very very old. I recntly came across this when I searched for a new Story to write after my Uncharted fic. And that was when I thought about this. Power Rangers had just celebrated or iis stille celebrating their 20th birthday. And I would be lying if I say I wasn't a huge fan back in the days.
Now to the story
This was basically the first ever "idea" I have ever had an idea for a completely on my own created enviroment with my own characters and my own stories. So basically, the first tiem I ever across These characters and stories basically was 2 years earlier to the year this Story takes place in.
Actually, this was the first Thing that I actually ever released in public for other People to read. I never persuited it any further than the first two episodes since I was ashamed of the Quality when I revisited those files again.
So as you can imagine, this is the second draft I did on this Episode and went along and rewrot most of the parts in it. Since I already deleted all the other episodes I had written down in the frist take, the first two episodes still posted are the only things that can be seen from it.
If I remember anything else I have to say about this Story, I'll let you know. But for now... let's dive right into.
POWER RANGERS
Shaolin Kung-Fu
Episode 1: Roars and Screams
Part 1
„Oh man! The pistons lost again." A young man of African American heritage said disappointed as he let his eyes wander of the sports page of a newspaper. Clarence Thomas Wallace, or CT as his friends were calling him, was at the beginning to the age of 17 and was about 180cm tall. His black hair was cut short and wore a beard around his mouth and his chin.
"Are you really that surprised? I mean… with tat coach." Another young colored young man, about four years younger than CT replied as he stared up from the plate in front of him to stare at him from the other side of the table.
The two guys had settled down on the table in their kitchen as they took their breakfast on this morning. Clarence and his brother Jules had been really close. It had always been like that for them since their father had not been around for such a long time. Yet then again their family just lived a normal life in the middle of the city named Detroit, Michigan.
Their house was located in one of the less healthier districts of the city, far away from all the left and rotten houses that lied all around the city and across the 8Mile road where most of the Trailer parks were located. The kitchen looked just like a house that people would see in normal American shows .
"So big brother." Jules said again as he looked up from his breakfast again and stared at CT again. "First day in College coming up huh?" He remarked slyly bringing another subject onto the table.
CT folded his arms and leaned back in the chair before taking a bit from the bread in front of him. "Yeah, that's going to be interesting, seeing as College seems to be a bit more serious than high school… I guess." He replied reaching the newspaper and reading another article.
The African American was glad that he had finally found a college that he got accepted on. That is not to say that he wasn't good at school. Sure he wasn't perfect, but he had seen people with far less intelligence getting accepted into the higher schools. And that was something that always bugged him. After all the declining that he had gotten over weeks. He even regretted that he didn't pursue his hoppy as defensive back and went for the chance of a scholarship.
But now, he was accepted to a college just around the corner. And that was something that he was glad for. He didn't have to leave his family alone for most of the year.
"HURRY UP CLARENCE OR YOU'LL E LATE ON YOUR FIRST DAY!" A voice from upstairs rang through the corridor and the house.
CT out of the sudden realized how the time went by so fast and he quickly grabbed his bag before getting up and rushing out of the house. "Yes mom!" He said before stopping at the door and facing Jules again. "Bye little brother!" With those words, he ran to the outside and greeted the sun staring down on the city below.
While Clarence went out to get to his first day in college, another person waited just on a bus station at another place of the city. Even if it was still early in Detroit, the city was already very busy. Just like always, the streets were filled with cars as people tried to get to their work. Since the city didn't have any subway system, the public transport system was reduced to city busses.
And so was it that on this morning, that another young man sat at this place waiting for one of this city busses to pick him up. He was tall and had short brown hair with a pair of glasses hanging upon his nose. He was wearing a blue t-shirt with a light blue and white lined button up shirt. A pair of jeans were sat on is legs completed with a pair of white shoes.
He brought his head up and stared at the bus coming to a halt right in front of the station and he rose from his seat. After swinging a back pack over his shoulder, he stepped inside right after the door opened. Quickly, he paid for the ride and stared into the bus and the people that were already sitting inside.
His gaze fell on a young man in about his age sitting in one of the last rows inside and he immediately began walking over to him. The guy he kept looking at was muscular and athletic while making a face that would people not like to meet him in the dark. He had buzz cut short brown hair and brown eyes. He wore a black t-shirt with the logo of the Detroit Red wings tacked on it.
"Hey what's up?"
As soon as the man with the short brown hair tapped him on the shoulder, he looked up and within a second his face changed into a friendly smile. "I had a rough night, my knee still hurts like hell, car broke down, but besides that… I'm fine!" He replied in sarcasm and made room for his friend to sit down beside him.
The one with the glasses waited for a short moment as the bus began rolling and they had settled down properly. "Wow, must be really hard for you. First day in college and you have to take the bus instead of your own car. That doesn't compute with your typical show off nature."
Christian B. Xero and Daniel Marcus had been best friends for 10 years now. The two went to high school together and for most of their part had been completely inseparable. Yet in the end, the two were a very unlikely duo. Where Xero was more of the tough and generic sporty guy, Marcus had always been more on the intelligence and thoughtful type.
"Come on don't tease me, even I am able to survive one day without it." He remarked in a relaxed tone while staring out of the window of the city. In every area of the city they drove through to get to their destination, he could see abandoned buildings and places. It was something that made him worried.
"You know… I've been thinking." Chris finally said out to the man at his side. "With your grades and marks, you could have easily found a place at one of the greatest and best universities and colleges in this country. Hell; probably even the world, but then again, you accept the offer of this one right here."
Dan glanced to the side and smiled slightly. "Even with all the problems this city has and sustains, this is still the place I grew up for most of my life. There are still some things that are keeping me here in this town." The bus stopped and the two men quickly moved outside of the vehicle. The sun stood now high in the sky and the air had a pleasing warmth to it.
In front of the duo stood the college known as Wayne County University of Detroit. The look of the building was just as one would have seen in all those teenie movies like American Pie or Road Trip. In front of the university stood a large grassy field which lead towards the sidewalk just beside the bus station.
Side by side, Chris and Dan walked over the stony paths up until they were on the plaza in front of the main entrance. The duo was about to walk up the stairs as a voice hailed through the air. "HEY BUG BUTT!"
Chris turned around to see who was calling out to someone in the back. To his surprise, he found a short haired blonde woman staring at him and waiving her arm. Chris was confused as he saw the young woman walking over to him. Like said, she was short blonde haired with blue eyes and wore a simple black top with blue jeans and white shoes. "Don't you remember me?" She asked and Chris got even more confused.
As she made a stop in front of him, he tilted his head slightly to the side. He even narrowed his eyes down a bit more before he widened them immediately. "You got to be kidding me… Katelyn?" He asked and extracted his arms to the side.
The blonde haired woman laughed and extracted her arms as well as she offered him a hug. Chris laughed as well and the two greeted each other warmly. "Xero, what the hell?!" She called she padded him on the back. And they departed. "I haven't seen you in years."
Grinning like the Cheshire cat, she tapped him on the shoulder and Chris turned around towards Dan again. "Hey buddy… this is my… old best friend Katelyn Shaw." He said wrapping an arm around her and shaking the woman. "Katelyn, this is Daniel Marcus, you could call him my… better half." Chris replied with Katelyn offering her hand towards the man with the glasses.
"Nice to meet you!" Dan said and shook her hand with a smile.
It was in that moment, that the two men noticed the other person being alongside the blonde haired woman. She was just as tall as Katelyn and had long brown hair that lied flat down. She wore a yellow top with a knee long black skirt along black boots. Katelyn saw the other two focusing their eyes on her and she quickly began. "Uhm, Dan, Xero this is Anja." She added and pointed her hand at her friend.
While Dan shook her as well, Chris on the other hand was unable to say something as his thoughts ran a riot inside his head. At first he didn't care to look. Yet after he saw her, he was unable to take his eyes off from the brunette.
After what seemed like an unpleasant silence, Dan nudged the short haired man in the shoulder which made him shrug together and shake his head. "Oh yeah right! Uhm… what's up?" He asked stumbling over his words and waiving his hand.
Anja giggled to herself and extracted her hand shaking his. "Hey there!" She simply said amused and the four stared around each other for a few other moments of silence. "So… what are your focuses on your studying?" The brown haired woman said which caused both Chris and Dan to look at her.
The brown haired man brought his hands into his hips before saying out loud. "I actually got a stipendium in physical science." He said looking around and searching for a watch in the distance.
Both young woman raised their eyebrows as Chris wrapped one arm around his friend and padding him with his hand on the chest. "Yeah! Our friend here is a little genius!" He added with a smile before they all could hear a gong hailing through the corridors.
"That's the signal to go… see you later." Dan threw in and clapped his friend onto the shoulder before storming off on his own.
Katelyn right away gave a goodbye to Anja before walking off and leaving now only her and Chris standing in the corridor without anybody else in sight. Another awkward moment of silent filled the air with the two just staring around nervously. "So uhm… where you heading?" The brown haired woman asked after a short while.
After shoving the back of his head, Chris tried his best to keep his calm. "Uhm… Room 217. Eh…US- Hstory." He stumbled over his own words not quite sure why he was that nervous out of the sudden.
"Huh, that's my destination too." She answered quickly by leading the man up some stairs towards their first day in college.
Deep in the outer areas of the solar system, just a few rock tosses away from Pluto, another rather strange vent took place. Out here far away from the third planet solar system, the heat of the sun was weak and didn't even reach the planets and moons that wondered around in this part of the galaxy. Yet that didn't have any effect on the general darkness that was space.
But in the middle of this unthinkable large nothing, a small bolt of light emerged and soon grow to a huge round object. To someone having watched science fiction before, it looked like a wormhole. Something that didn't just appear in the middle of space and in such a clean way. And that was for a reason.
It didn't take long and a small metallic figure emerged from the object venturing into this solar system. You didn't need to be a genius that this was a spaceship. The vessel was shaped like a bird (imagine a bird of prey from Star Trek only bigger, without the green color and with small spikes coming out of it; ) colored in black and small green lights being lid all around the ship.
With a rather slow speed, it passed the smallest planet (or former planet) that had the longest distance to the sun from all of them. In front of the vessel, up on the bridge, several figures moved through rows of computers and manuals as the piloted the ship through the galaxy.
Most of the computer panels were sat in small slots that were placed in lines on the left and right. In the middle of the room was an enhancement which was surrounded by various computer panels and monitors along with a chair in the middle which was rotatable.
The aliens that walked around the room and worked on the panels all had a black color and red eyes with yellow pupils. Whereas most of the aliens had no ears and mouths and instead small circles which symbolized their mouths, others had bat like ears along with silver vampire teeth. They also wore metal and silver machetes around the under arms and under calves.
One of the aliens with the mouths walked over to the console in the middle of the room towards what seemed like the commander of the vessel. He opened his mouth to speak and light blue light came out of it. "Commander Crogon!" We have reached the solar system that includes the third planet to the sun called earth." The alien said and saluted as the other one on the enhancement turned its chair around.
This one was far bigger compared to the others. It had huge ears and even more evil looking eyes. His torso was huge and along with the blue and black uniform that he wore, silver metal linings went along the front of his chest. "Excellent! I won't take long and everyone in the galaxy will know that if Dark Specter would have sent me on the mission to catch the space rangers, instead of Astronema, he would still be wandering among the stars. But soon… I will be conquering earth instead of her."
In that moment, another parson stepped out of the shadow. Instead of a normal body, he had a robotic torso just like his legs and arms. His body was black colored with golden machine parts spread all over it. Its head was the looking like the one of a skeleton and colored completely red. "I have a question!"
"And what might that be?" The commander replied slightly annoyed and his face turned away from him.
The robot alien brought his hands onto his hips and asked right away. "Why are we still scanning for Ranger energy signatures. The power rangers disappeared from earth weeks ago."
Again, the large black and blue alien tilted his head in annoyance before turning around and staring right into the other ones eyes. "The galaxy rangers might have disappeared. But I know Zordon and his little brats all too well. And I am willing to not underestimate them. You never know what could happen. There might still be some left over crystal, some morphers undiscovered or whatever these geeks and their giant floating head could have figured out."
"Sir, we detected six energy signals from the northern hemisphere of the planet." One of the minions said staring up from his computer panel.
Immediately, the commander glanced back at his second in command.
"You know, i hate it when I'm right!" He simply said before smiling sarcastically about his self proclaimed superior intellect. "Track down the precise location and inform me over every development at once!" Within seconds, the commander walked out the bridge smirking to himself. "Earth's days are counted!"
With the first set of classes being over, Clarence Thomas Wallace began walking out of his classroom. He had his backpack thrown over his shoulder as he looked down on a piece of paper showing his next course. He was so sunken in thoughts that he didn't notice the blonde haired young man coming right down to him.
He was a bit taller than the African American and wore a dark green polo shirt along with a pair of black jeans as well as white shoes. He came from behind and clapped him onto the back. "Hey CT! And how do you feel after the first hours in college?" He asked as the other one looked at him with a neutral expression.
"Ah... it wasn't all that bad Slick!" He replied with his attention still turned onto the paper.
Alex Schick or Slick how his friends called him was Clarence's best friend. The two went through high school together and got lucky that they even got lucky to go to college together. They even found themselves having some classes together.
Right now, the duo walked down a pair of stairs directly towards the main entrance of their building on the campus. The stairs were wide as masses of people walked down them trying to get to their breaks. None of them actually paid attention t the two older people, probably professors that carried a wagon filled with utensils for a science class down the stairs.
One group raced each other down as they collided with the cart and one of the professor's. The impact was so hard that he lost his grip on the wagon and it began sailing down the stairs. With the corner of his eye, Alex saw it running down as people went out of the way.
His gaze wandered down the stair as he saw a young man standing at the feet not realizing that he was about to be crushed. The man wore a blue chastened button up shirt and jeans, he had brown hair and a pair of glasses on his nose.
CT saw that as well and called out to him. "HEY LOOK OUT!"
Daniel left his room and just waited downstairs for Chris to meet him back in the hall as he found his shoe laces untied and kneed down to knot them again. He didn't realize the wagon coming until he heard someone shouting into his direction and forced him to stare right up.
And that was when he saw the cart coming directly into his way. He looked left and right and saw that he couldn't get out of the way. Though it wasn't like he could be killed by the impact, he was sure that it was going to hurt.
As if let by instinct, he put all the pressure he had onto his legs and jumped into the air extracting his legs. He felt like he was in slow motion as he saw the cart running down underneath him and him sailing over the wagon before landing on the ground again.
With a loud bang, the wagon collided with the wall which silenced the whole hall who stared at the event completely shocked.
Dan had his arms extracted as he felt himself standing on one knee and staring wildly to the side before getting back to his feet and staring around completely surprised. How in the world did I…? He asked himself just before the two other men came walking over to him.
Clarence was the first one to stand by his side and laid a hand on his shoulder. "Are you alright?" He asked as Alex observed the wagon from his spot.
"Wow dude! That was some sick move you pulled there!" He remarked with Dan completely realizing right now.
He shook his head before bringing his hand to his forehead. "Uhm well... yeah... kinda." He stuttered staring back and forth from the cart to the other two standing at his side. His eyes locked on the African American and he quickly realized. "Uhm thanks!" He finally said.
"No problem!" CT replied before he turned back on his blond haired friend and the brunette. "My name's CT by the way. This is Alex!" he introduced both him and his friend as Slick extracted his hand.
"Just call me Slick!"
Dan shook both hands smiled a little. "Daniel Marcus!"
By that time, some facility managers had appeared and began moving the spare parts into buckets while cleaning up the floor. Seeing as the trio had stood down here long enough, they began walking down the hall as well as Dan stopped once again hearing someone calling his name.
All three turned around and saw Chris coming their way before stopping to take a look at the mess in the hallway. "Hey buddy... what happened there?" he asked right away while and Clarence observed the newcomer carefully.
"A little accident... uhm Chris these are CT and... Slick!" He said with a pause as he recalled the way which the blonde man wanted to be called. Chris right away began greeting the two as Dan's thoughts drifted off.
Yet right in that moment, he was rushed out of his thought as he heard a loud scream filling the hall. He right away shook his head staring at from where the scream could have possibly had come from. "What was that?" he asked right away and now realized that the other three didn't even react to what they heard.
"What was what?" Chris asked after he saw his friend standing all that tensed up.
The brown haired man realized that he must have been the only one that might have heard that sound and he quickly began backing off. "Nothing, nothing that important." He quickly added bringing their conversation to another subject.
Together, the four walked out of the hall to the rest of their break before getting back on their classes. However, Dan was deeply sunken in thought as he stared to the ceiling and the top of the building having a sudden case of curiosity settling inside his mind.
Up on the spaceship, the search for the ranger signatures was still in progress. By now the ship had went so deep into the system that the crew could see earth in the distance. The alien with the cyborg body that was earlier seen on the con walked around a small room darkly light and showing several computer panels with maps of earth's geography.
He was accompanied by another creature from the same species. They both had the same height yet the new one had a grey torso with light red legs and arms along a lighter colored head. The new one pressed a few buttons and made a hologram symbolizing earth appear in the middle of the room.
Both walked around the model with the black colored alien speaking up again. "What is it that makes earth so special? Their technology is not that far developed. They don't have any special recourse that we could be interested in. Then what is it that drags forces from space so far into this system just for one single planet?"
The other one rested his hands on the panels listening to his comrade. "It's not so much about the planet anymore. For Crogon, it is personal. Nearly all his family was killed in the wave which the red space Ranger created when he destroyed Zordon."
Again, the two kept staring at the hologram. "Earth!" The one with the black torso went in. "A planet that has nothing that makes it stand apart from any other in the universe. Let's just conquer this thing and move on."
Just one second later, a speaker cracked in the room and a booming voice hailed through the room. "HIDRAGON, BARKONAL… GET DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT!"
While stumbling over their own feet, the menacing looking aliens rushed through the corridors. On their way, they passed several other black and blue colored aliens before they stormed through the door entering the com. "You called us my lord!?" Hidragon said at once as the two stopped in front of Crogon.
The alien commander had his arms folded in front of him as he began talking out to the two. "Our scanners detected another ranger energy signature with a very precise location coming along. I want you and a group of Crogorians to go down there and seek it out." He said before pointing his finger at the black and red colored which indicated to be Barkonal. "Go and eliminate these last glimpses of hope which earth has left."
Not sure what to make of that, the alien with the skull head saluted and walked out of the room leaving Crogon and Hidragon behind. The grey headed figure walked closer to his superior before speaking out again. "Do you really think a bunch of Crogorians is going to be enough?" He almost whispered.
"No!" Crogon said turning his face to a window and staring out into space and earth. "But in order to conquer this planet, we have to know its defense systems… and if there are really power rangers down there.
Hidragon saluted as well and he left the main room to follow Barkonal through the ship.
It wasn't that often that Chris decided to take lunch in the cafeteria of a school or a university. But due to the fact that he didn't have that much time, he decided to do it anyway. In just a few hours, his tryouts for the hickey team would start and he sure didn't want to search for something to take a bite on.
With a spoon, he began to eat from a small shelve of chili as he kept his eyes on the newspaper. In the distance, he saw a group of people sitting down on another table. Besides him and the others, there was no one in the large room sitting on the rows of tables. Chris let his eyes wander over the sports part and the site featuring a game report of the last Red Wings® game.
On the other side of the hall, in the back of the short haired man, CT came running into the doorway and stare at him. His face showed a small reflection of anxiousness and hectic. As fast as he could, he raced over to him while calling out to him. "Chris!"
However, his calls seemed like they were not affecting anyone in the room. A short second later, he tabbed the man on the shoulder which forced him to shriek up and stare at the African American. "What the… how did you!" He shouted out which forced the other group to stare at them surprised to see the newcomer standing in the middle of the room breathing heavy.
Clarence stared at Chris and raised his eyebrows. "Why didn't you listen when I screamed at… Argh it doesn't matter anyway. I think there is something that you should see. It is about your friend Dan!"
Within a second, Chris was on his feet and stormed out of the cafeteria with CT following behind. He was short before leaving the room when he shrugged together hearing a loud roar in his ears. He laid one hand above his ear and tried to protect himself from the noise.
As he finally heard the roar being gone, he stared back at Chris who had his eyebrows raised. It didn't need any words for the African American to know what the other one was thinking. "Don't ask!" CT went ahead before Chris could and walked passed him leading the duo towards down the campus.
Barkonal and Hidragon walked through the ship until the stopped at a huge double sided iron door. Unlike most of the rooms of the ship, this door had to be opened by a special key. Something that the grey colored Alien brought out right o the spot.
The room itself was lid in a multi colored light with the majority being mostly white. The duo entered the room and found several silver and black colored tables standing inside. Various bottle and glasses with various liquids stood on them on one side. On the other side stood another set with bottles having a blue liquid inside.
"You know what the key to superior warfare is?" Hidragon asked as he took one of the bottles with the blue liquid.
"No… not really actually!" The other robotic alien replied standing against a wall in the back.
"It's about minimalize your invest with the maximal result. Why train you army if you can simply build one from material. That's why Rita Repulsa had her army made of clay." He popped the small bottle open and let the liquid inside drop on the ground. "Crogorian warfare, composed with a little Barkaradian science and…"
The liquid began to spread over the ground. Soon later, it began to bubble and small blue lightings came to appear. Not late after that, small mountains began to crawl from it until they reached human size. And another second later, a group of alien soldiers stood in front of Barkonal and Hidragon. Just like Crogon, they had a blue torso along with black legs and arms.
"Crogorians! Soldiers made of liquid, unlike soldiers who have a sentinel felling, they just obey orders and do as they are told." He directed his gaze at the group and spoke out to them in a commanding way. "Master Crogon wants you to find the supposed Power Rangers, now go and don't return until you find them."
The group didn't waste time and moved out of the room with Barkonal following short by. "I will escort them, this sure will be fun."
"What the hell were you thinking?" Chris half asked and half yelled as he glared at his best friend sitting on the bed in a doctor's office. It didn't take long for him and Clarence to walk over the campus into the small medical station that was located on the area.
While the short haired man kept observing his friend, the doctor kept wrapping some bandages around his head as well as some around his ankle. Chris waited until he had the attention of his friend. "Why in the blue hell did you go on that roof even though it was named not stable?"
The doctor finished his work and stood. "You got lucky that you didn't brake anything. Just a little fracture on the head. I must say that this is extremely astonishing." He clapped him on the shoulder before turning his attention to Chris. "He should be good to go… just don't let him drive and have someone with him during the night. Just in case." With that, he exited and left Chris, Dan, CT and Alex all alone inside.
Dan tested his ankle for a short moment. He could hit himself for the fact that beside everything that he believed in; he let his curiosity take the best of him. Why in the world did he really believe that he could be close to flying like he did earlier the day?
"You know, you always seem to amaze me."
He was suddenly ripped out of his thoughts as he faced his friend talking to him.
"I always thought, I was the stupid one in this combo. But what you did was completely out of my league of stupidity. Do you have any idea what your mother would do to me if you die?"
Alex and CT stared at the duo not sure whether they should stay or leave. Yet before Chris could go on, Daniel went ahead and answered himself. "I was kinda drifted away by the events of the morning." He referred back to the accident in the main hall. The man with the glasses checked if somebody was listening in on them before he faced all three of them.
Back this morning, when I got nearly hit by that cart, I jumped over it… remember." They all nodded and Daniel continued. "There was complete rush of energy that I've never felt before. It was like… a short moment of me flying. I got curious how far I could go." The others listened not sure if they should take this seriously or not. "That and the fact that the moment I fell through the ceiling, I heard that noise again."
"Noise?!" CT asked as he slowly pulled his hands out of his pockets. "What kinda noise?"
Dan faced him realizing that there was something inside the African American's mind that made him he fell he had a similar experience. "It sounded strangely enough like an eagle. One that flew exactly by my ear."
Clarence turned his head to the side right away he thought about what he heard. While that was going on, Chris got closer and stared deeply into his friends eyes. "Okay! You better get some long rest. I'm gonna call someone to pick you up. Do you need anything?" He asked concerned and caring.
"No I'll be fine! I can take care of myself, you need your tryouts to go to. I'll just take the bus back home." Dan replied ready to leave the room.
Yet Chris again stopped him and smirked at his pal. "You fell down through a ceiling and nearly killed yourself… and you want me to play some hockey game?"
He had not completely finished his words as he heard a voice coming from behind and the hand of CT landing on his shoulder. !I'll take care of this." He said and Chris stared at him before back to his best friend.
It took a few moments before he nodded and padded him on the shoulder as well. "If you think you can handle that? See you tomorrow." With that, he exited the room followed shortly by Alex which left only Dan and CT back inside.
CT waited for everybody to have left before he spoke up again. "You said that the moment you jumped over that cart, you heard the sound of an eagle?" He asked which let the other man turn around and stare at him as well.
"You had something similar happening to you?"
Clarence nodded and folded his arms again. "When I ran back to get Chris, I sneaked up on him, even though I was shouting his name through the hall. Guess he was so occupied that he didn't realize that I was coming.
Dan raised his eyebrows and got to his feet. "That's really astonishing. Chris might not be the brightest star in the sky. But he usually has really sharp senses. I mean… no one sneaks up on him." He remarked glaring down and then back on the colored man. "What was it that you heard?"
CT folded his arms again and tightened his lip. "To mo… it sounded like a big cat. A puma… or maybe a leopard."
The duo slowly began walking out of the building and all the way through their home city. It was slightly in the afternoon as the duo stepped through a small park in the mddle of Detroit. While the African American had his hands in the pockets of his black jeans, the one with the glasses was rather tensed as they kept walking side by side. "So… what do you make out of it?" Daniel asked out of the silence that surrounded them.
Clarence glared up and stared straight ahead as he thought about the recent events for himself. "For once, I don't believe that you and I, two completely different people with completely backgrounds have the same things happen to us… on the same day we meet for the first time." The African American replied with a slight sarcasm in his voice.
A small laugh escaped CT as he clapped Dan on the shoulder. "You know what Daniel… as weird as this day was this far… I think that you are quite alright." He added and the two laughed a little bit.
However, the weird day that CT mentioned earlier was about to get a lot weirder. Just as the duo crossed a small basketball court, a blue lightning bolt raced through the air and landed right in front of them causing an explosion to appear and knock both of them backwards onto the ground.
"What the…?" Both said exhausted before they heard noises coming from the other side of the field. Short after, a group of about twelve strange looking creatures stared at them and began marching forward. Immediately, the two human's faces turned from excitement into fright as they found themselves face to face with creatures that were obviously non human.
Before anyone of them could react, one of the aliens grabbed Dan on the arm and pulled him to his feet. He was about to hit him when CT gave him a kick to the stomach and pulled Dan away from the creature. But neither one of them had enough time to react as two other came and kicked them right onto their chests and send both flying through the air and colliding with the ground again.
"That was a stupid idea." CT grunted as he held his chest form the pain. "And I got the feeling that it's going to get a lot worse."
