Chapter 3

"Talk to me what is going on?" Ed asked Isaac had managed to hack into the camera network seeming the city was full with them. Ariel stopped pulling Kelly closer to the building Alara falling in step as Ariel looked around the corner Kelly did the same and gasped Ariel clamped a hand over her mouth but it was too late the man glad in steel armour moved towards them a wheezing sound would be heard.

"Shit." Ariel stated as someone started firing on them from the other direction.

"What is that thing?"Kelly asked

"A killer, something created for one purpose to kill." Ariel informed them turning her blaster from stun to kill Alara saw what she was doing. "As of now it is us or them." She told her as she fired on those shooting at them. Kelly noted that each shot she took hit its mark. Alara started shooting at the thing that was getting closer but she noticed it wasn't doing anything to it. She didn't get the chance to try anything else as Ariel was leading them away. "Lieutenant get the Commander up on the roof." Ariel told her as she was covering them, she knew that the gunshots would have brought the others to their location. When Alara called down to her she turned and climbed the side of the building to the top.

"What are you?" She asked

"I am a descendant from the human race. Come on we need to keep going." Ariel stated guiding them over the rooftops. Ariel would every now and then look down the others couldn't help not to look down. There were three of those creatures running parallel to them. That was when the roof broke and the three of them fell to the ground below.

Alara was the first one up and started fighting the thing that was trying to kill them when she was pushed to the side by Ariel she turned at her angry at her but that look disappeared when she saw why Ariel pushed her aside. Ariel was standing face to face with the creature that crashed to the ground dead Ariel stood there for a second longer before she too fell to the ground the creatures sword still in her chest. Kelly was next to her and Alara stood there frozen.

"It's a straight dash down the road to the building... you need to place this on the device by then the shuttle will be at the window get off this planet..."

"Not leaving you." Kelly states

"You still have a job to do Commander, even a monkey could do it...Alara...aim for the gap by their neck weakest point." Ariel stated pointing to her own neck and as her hand dropped back to the ground she exhaled her last breath.

"No." Alara stayed moving forward to her but Kelly was already saying she was dead she had her scanned her and there was no life signs. Kelly had failed before they had left Ariel had come to her and made sure to get Kelly's word that she would not be left behind, she could still keep that promise though.

"We can't just leave her..."

"We will come back and get her." Kelly told her even though she was yet to move. The sound of feet on mud made them get up and ran down the road. They made it to the base of the building looking at each other Kelly wipes her hands noting the blood on them, she was holding Ariel's communicator in her other hand before looking back at Alara.
"Let's get this over with." To which Alara nodded they entered the building, Kelly figured this was an old lookout tower from the war that Ariel had mentioned she found names inscribed in the walls as they made their way to the stairwell.
"No elevator?" She asked only slightly joking when she saw the amount of stairs they would have to walk up. There was a crash as the door was forced open so Alara grabbed Kelly and jumped to about half way before climbing over the railway they started running up the stairs. When they entered the room they weren't the only ones there the General from earlier was there with four others dressed in black cloaks covering there faces and two of those killer creatures.

"I was hoping you would try and run for your ship." He stated

"Not while that device is still active." Kelly replied Alara was watching the others in the room they were all tense as they talked.

"You can't stop us, you shouldn't be interfering."

"Your planet is part of the Union." Kelly responded and their was a dark look in his eyes that had her understanding why Ariel called him black soul. There was a howling noise that reminded her of the wind in a storm and it seemed to set everyone on edge. They looked around weapons being drawn.

"You don't get it we need to blow it before it is too late."

"What is going on?"

"We came across something, something we shouldn't have something that were tales of old this city is lost and if we don't seal it they will spread."

"Who is they?"

"Spirits." Ariel replied moving into the room making Kelly and Alara freeze.

"You died."

"You were correct on one thing the spirits are free, they used to roam this world interacting with the living but when the war started more and more innocent lives were being lost it was disrupting the balance so those in power decided to seal them away years passed by and it turned to stories told around the fireplace. They are worried what the spirits will reveal that is why they want them trapped. You don't want to give up your power you would rather kill hundreds of lives again to keep your power. We will stop you."

"You May be dead but they aren't." He said indicating Kelly and Alara he pulled out his gun and went to shot them but Ariel was in front of him yanking the gun out of his hands.

"How not possible you cannot touch the living."
