Chapter 5 Darkness Rises

I don't know how long I was out but I decided to reflect on things while I was out. I thought of how all this began.

It was about five or so years ago. I was outside in the forest playing when I discovered a wounded dog. I was frightened at first that he would attack me. He seemed friendly though so I went over to him and started petting him. It seemed he had a wound in his leg. I smiled and placed my hands over the wound, I began concentrating on my breathing. I could feel my chi flowing from my hands into the wound and healing it. The dog barked happily and licked my face. I laughed and petted him some more.

A few kids my age appeared out of no where and walked over to us. "Whatcha doin punk?" They had a weird accent, Russian maybe? I just ignored them. One came over to me and pushed me a bit, "I said what are you doing, punk ass bitch." Again I ignored them.

He growled at me and I looked up. I winked at him and his jaw dropped in fear. I punched him in the face sending him to the ground. The other two ran at me. I kicked one in the stomach but the other tackled me. I let out an oumph! And landed hard on the ground. I pushed him off me and got up. They were all standing like bowling pins. I charged at the first one and pushed into him sending them all to the ground. I picked up the dog and ran for my house.

When I got inside I ran up to my room, conceiling the dog. I locked the door and let him out. I turned away from him to grab a book and when I turned back I almost fainted. A grown figure of some kind was standing in front of me.

"Who- Who-, What are you?" I managed to ask.

"I, well, sit down," I did so and just stared at him. He had a sort of mechanical voice. He smiled an odd sort of smile at me and told me everything.

I don't remember his exact words but I remember him telling me that he was from the future and a distant galaxy. He said he was here to train me to destrroy those who destroyed his race and his planet. He said he was an Entity. Entities, he said, were a super-advanced, peaceful species of shape-shifting creatures. He also said that those who destroyed his planet were neo-Russian humans from his future time who wanted to steal their technology, and when Earth became a Utopia while they were gone and that really pissed them off.

My friend here, who's name I learned was Ecclesaties, narrowly escaped with a few companions to the past, my present, and wanted to save Earth. But the neo-Russians reproduced after taking the Entities special chemicals and produced super-human offsprings. These offsprings also found the way to go back in time and came here to destroy the Entities. The Entities however, were here to find young humans and train them into killing machines.

He wanted to train me and I reluctantly accepted. Those creatures I destroyed in the cave and those bullies I destroyed were all neo-Russians. I believed Andrew had neo- Russian super-human blood in him and had to do away with him.

I asked Ecclesaties why he didn't fight and he said he was bound by religious creed all Entities followed to be peaceful and forgiving. He did however break this by not forgiving those damn neo-Russians.

Chapter 6 There And Back Again

I woke up in some kind of meadow to find a dog liking my face. "Eww... get off you damn dog!" I blinked my eyes for everything to come into focus. I looked around, the meadow was closed off, it was not very big because it was insided. The air, the moisture, everything natural, minus the meadow itself, was artificial.

I sighed, "Hello Ecclesaties," he transformed into a humanoid shape.

"Hiya Dragon," I nodded and smiled. He smiled back.

"Where are we?" I asked.

"In our headquarters, this is where all the magic happens," I nodded and grinned, "This is where we make all your 'toys' Mr. Bond," I couldn't help but laugh.

"Yah, yah," I laughed again, "Thanks."

We walked over to a pair of chairs and sat down. There was a small table in between the chairs with a laptop on it. He sat with the laptop facing him and began to type on it. I looked around, it was a fairly large dome it was artifically a meadow with a stream going through it. There were also animals here and there. I waited for a few minutes and he turned the laptop so it face me.

"We have recieved information that the neo-Russians are planning an assault on our cargo bay in West Hampton, we have decided that you and Tetsuko will go there and take them by surprise," I nodded and then thought.

"Tetsuko? I finally get to meet her?" I heard about Tetsuko from some of the other Soldiers.

"Yes, Indeed you will meet her, but please try to stay focused," I raised a brow. He looked at me liked I was impossible.

"Oh, heh, I see. You know me, mission first, ladies second," He grinned and I grinned back.

"So, can I get some new equipment, I'm kind of out of ammo and I destroyed my ATV," He smiled and nodded.

"You got it," He lead me over to the door and we exited. We walked along a trail, we were in some kind of underground mansion-like place. He lead to me a metal door that looked really heavy. He put his hand on the keypad on the wall next to it and the door opened.

We walked in. I gasped becuase I couldn't believe me eyes. I blinked and shook my head.
