Alvin and his brothers followed close behind Tyler, as he walked around the back of the station, up to a large grey door with a keypad on the knob.
The girls remained, home, to watch over the children, and to try and talk to Sarah. She was incredibly upset about Tyler going back to work on his vacation.
Before he was about to type in the code, he paused, then turned around, looking at Alvin and his brothers.
"Can you all promise me you won't touch anything while you are in there? There are some very delicate stuff in there."
The three of them gave slow nods. He slowly stood up, keeping his eyes on them.
"I think you guys should give yourselves a little disguise. I don't want my men running around, trying to catch chipmunks."
The three of them looked at each other, then slowly waved their paws. A small dim light seemed to cover their bodies for a quick moment, then disappeared.
Alvin looked at Tyler, giving a large smile.
"Happy?"
"As long as you look human to them, then yes." Tyler replied, as he typed in his code.
A small green light on the door flashed, as he gripped the handle, and opened the door. He held the door open, allowing the chipmunks to enter. Alvin and his brothers took in the sight as they all walked in. Officers were everywhere. Some sitting behind their desks, typing on a computer. It was the most cops they have ever seen.
To the side, they could see a rack holding a bunch of bullet proof vests, and a area where several taser's sat in special holders.
"Don't touch anything" Tyler said, as they moved further into the building.
"Sir!"
Everyone stopped, as a officer approached holding a small folder of papers out towards Tyler.
"You better have a good reason for calling me back from leave John." He said, as he took the papers.
"We do." The officer replied, as he pointed to the other end of the building.
"We caught this guy making some sort of weird electrical device. We tried to arrest him, but he put up quite the fight."
"What are the charges?" Tyler asked, looking down at the papers, as the made their way to the holding rooms.
"Aggravated battery, assault, and misconduct."
"And what his his name?"
The officer then stopped, taking in a deep breath as he looked back at Tyler.
"We don't know. We haven't been able to get a word out of him. The only thing he said was that he wanted to see you."
Tyler stroked his chin, looking down at the paper work that was in his hands.
"Alright, I'll talk with the guy. Do me a favour, and take my friends to the monitoring room." As he pointed to the chipmunks.
The officer turned towards them, giving a smile as he looked straight a head, thinking he was seeing humans in front of him.
"If you will all follow me." He said, pointing to a nearby door.
Tyler immediate went for the adjacent one.
He gripped the knob, and pushed the door open, walking inside.
He suddenly felt a large burning from his chest. That same throbbing pain he had been feeling many times. He bit back the pain, as he walked in, looking at a man who sat in front of a table, his head lowered, looking down.
"Battery, aggravated assault. What do you have to say?" He asked, as he looked towards the perp.
The man slowly raised his head, revealing a head of long, greasy hair, and yellow teeth. The man gave Tyler a sickening smile, as he set his cuffed hands down on the table.
"So, I am seeing the last of your kind." He chuckled coldly.
Tyler gave the man a confused glare. "Excuse me?"
"I am seeing the last of the Primes, aren't I?"
Tyler remained motionless, his eyes locked with the mans, unable to believe what he just heard. He looked up at the cameras, then quickly flicked his hand, causing all of them to go out.
Alvin and his brothers were watching what was happening in the next room. All three of them stunned from what they heard, when all the video monitors went out.
"Get that feed back up" a officer order, as they all began to try and get the camera's working again.
Tyler slowly moved over to the table, keeping his eyes on the man, as he pulled out the chair, and slowly sat down.
"How do you know what I am?" He asked.
The man just gave another cold chuckle, as he leaned back in his chair.
"Your race, was once a race of gods. Now it is reduced, to one lowly insect."
"I asked you a question. Who are you?" Tyler asked again.
The man just seemed to ramble on, like he wasn't hearing a single word Tyler was saying.
"Your people hid many artifacts around the universe, hoping to preserve their culture. I have one thing here, I think you may want to read."
He then reached for his sleeve, pulling out a folded, wrinkled piece of paper.
He the set it down on the table, pushing it towards Tyler.
Cautiously, Tyler reached out, grabbing the paper, and folding it open. His heart skipped a beat when he saw the writing. His chest started to burn even more, as he looked back up at the perp, who was just smiling coldly.
"He is rising. The destroyer of worlds. The bringer of chaos. And soon, blood will be spilled as this universe is consumed. There is no way you can stop him. The weak shall perish, in the shadow of the ring darkness."
Tyler's eyes just remained locked on the piece of paper, his eyes filled with horror. The writing on the piece of paper. There was no denying where it came from.
"Where did you get these?" he asked, looking back up at the perp.
The perp just gave a cold smile, as he pushed his greasy hair out of his eyes.
"1908 was a big year, especially for Russia. Go for ground zero, and there, you will find it."
Tyler gave one last glance down at the paper, then back up at the perp.
But the sight he saw next was one he was not expecting.
Where the man was sitting, was now a large hideous looking creature that was a little larger then a human. It's head was a large round mass of flesh. The body was a mix of machinery and almost organic shell, and the right arm was long, and boney, with a gun that looked like it was surgically attached.
"I am but the first of many. You Prime, are doomed."
Suddenly the creature jumped up from it's seat, throwing the table to the side, and charged at Tyler, slamming him to the far wall. The creatures left arm pressed against Tyler's neck, holding him in place, as it placed the barrel of the gun on the side of his head.
"With you gone, he will have nothing to stand in his way."
The door to the room suddenly burst open, as several officers ran in. Most of them almost jumped back at the site they saw in front of them, making them hesitate for a moment before they finally pulled out their guns, firing at the creature.
Bullets riddled the its body, as it pulled away from Tyler, screeching in agony.
Every cop was firing, but the creature remained standing, taking at least fifty bullets, before finally falling to the ground.
The cops slowly moved closer, keeping their guns ready, as the creature withered on the floor, still making sounds of agony.
"What the hell is that thing?" John exclaimed.
Tyler pulled away from the wall, moving over to the the body on the floor. He knew what the thing was. And he knew why it was here.
"Get me a large knife." He said, standing over the creature.
Without hesitating, one of the officers handed over a large hunting knife, passing it over to Tyler.
He looked down at the body, as it continued moving and withering below him. He had to kill the thing now, before it could do more harm. He gripped the handle in both of his hands, then brought the knife down, hitting the creature in the chest. It's whole body jerked, as Tyler pushed the blade deeper, twisting it left and right as a clear water like substance oozed out of its mouth and many bullet holes.
He gave one last jerk of the blade, before the creature went silent, its whole body becoming still.
He pulled the blade out slowly, then turned back to all of his officers.
"The detachment is to remain on full alert until I say otherwise." He said as he walked out of the room, with everyone following close behind.
"But what about that body?" John asked, as he came up to Tyler's side.
"Burn it." He replied.
"Burn evidence. Are you crazy?"
Tyler then stopped in his tracks, looking towards John, placing his hands on his shoulders.
"John, listen. You have no idea what is going on. That thing is one of the most dangerous things that you could ever encounter. You could shot it a thousand times, or cut it's body to ribbons and it will not die. You need to burn it."
John remained still for a moment, then gave a slow nod, while saying, "Yes sir."
Tyler gave him a thankful smile, as he took in a small breath. "John. I promise I will explain everything once it is safe. But in the mean time, I have got to run."
Before John could ask, Tyler quickly ran out of the building. He ran out into the parking lot, his heart beating a million time a minute. The words on the paper written in his species old tongue. It kept flashing again and again in his mind.
The weak shall perish, in the shadow of a rising darkness.
There was only one thing in the universe it could have came from, and he needed to find it.
"Tyler!"
He looked back, seeing Alvin and his brothers running towards them, all of them with confused and anxious looks on their faces.
"What happened?" Alvin asked, as they stopped a few feet from him.
Tyler ran his hands through his hair. Should he tell them, or should he hold off, and spare them the fear and terror.
"Get home now you guys. I'll be back in a while."
His whole body began to glow, as his sized increased. The chipmunks took several steps back, as Tyler turned into his robotic form, with the large jet pack on his back.
"Tyler. Where are you going?" Simon asked. He looked down at them, his blue eyes glowing brightly.
"To Tunguska." He replied, as the jets on his back fired, sending him into the air.
