Chapter 2

"The Plan was Successful"

"Any luck finding any information?" asked Aarin

"Not yet, sir"replied Ben

Aarin walked outside the transmission room, checking if defense turrets have been set up. But it was strange to Aaron that there would be more Skaarj coming after the marines. Why would I think about this stuff? Thought Aarin, at least that there aren't any more Skaarj coming. Two marines were finished setting up defenses "You think the turrets will keep the Skaarj away?"

"Hell yeah it-" One the marines was disrupted by a loud sound inside a room.

"What was that?"

"Dunno,let's check it out." Both the marines ran inside the room and when when they got in, something

inside dragged them in and gunshots were heard throughout the hallway. One marine ran towards to Aarin and began to hesitated as he tried to talk "T-two marines disappeared earlier while setting up defense." "What! Send in the marines to check it out!" said Aaron. He ran back to the transmission room checking if Ben finished finding the information, but he wasn't there. As he walked in room, he almost slipped on something wet. He checked the floor and saw a small pool of blood. "Shit..." He ran out and found five Skaarj holding three the marines hostage. One of them yelled at Aarin, "Drop the weapon, human!" But Aarin refused to drop his weapon. Two blades came out of the Skaarj fist (which is called Razik). Aarin's hand tighten on the handle but then released the gun from his hand. Then one of Skaarj ran behind and slam something behind his head. He became dizzy and heard the marines yell out as he fell to the floor.

Meanwhile...

Footsteps were heard from the hallways all the way to the King Skaarj's room. The door opened and Skaarj council walked in. "So, did it worked?" asked the King Skaarj "The plan was successful." replied the Skaarj council. "I want the samples ready to test the prisoners." "It shall be done."

The Skaarj council walked out of the room quietly. "Soon the humans won't even know what hit 'em." The King Skaarj said

The King Skaarj said.Am I going to die? These thoughts began to drift inside Aarin's mind, repeating the same thing over and over again, Am I going to die? Am I going to die? Then he open his eyes slowly. As he tried to get up he felt something wet on his hair. He touched his hair and found that he must have been bleeding while being unconscious. He got up and pain struck his leg. He touched to leg carefully and the pain became worse. Damn its broken he thought. He looked around the room and found two poles next to one of the marines body. He grabbed his under shirt and ripped a small piece, then grabbed to pole and placed it on his leg and used the ripped piece to tie it around. But what to use the other pole? Stupid, he thought Why use it to kill one of the guards and take the keys. But I need to kill just one Skaarj without other ones watching me kill it. It took ten minutes to wait for one Skaarj to come in and check on them. As it came in, Aarin pretended to think he was going crazy. As it walked in to his cell, he quickly grabbed the pole and lunged it into the Skaarj's head. Blood began to come out of its mouth and head. He released the pole and the Skaarj landed to the floor with a hard thump. Aarin searched the lifeless body and found the keys he needed. He slipped in the key into the keyhole. He carefully turned the key until he heard a click. He opened to door and picked up the stungun and made his way throughout the facility.

Aarin walked quietly through the hallway but to his surprise, there was two heavy armed Skaarj guarding a door that said on top of it "Test Arena" "Test Arena?" he whispered. As he crouched his way through the hallway quietly, one of the Skaarj began to walk towards him. He began panic but found two large crates and hid behind them. But it was to late, the Skaarj found him and ran towards him. Aarin charged his stungun and shot a large orange beam towards the Skaarj. It sliced through the sir and hit it's chest. It fell to the ground but it was only stunned. Then two bright orange beams flew towards him. He tried to run but he couldn't, is whole body was stunned. Then everything, the hallway, the Skaarj all faded away.
