Hey world... Alright, I'll admit: I am very late. But I have a good reason... ya see I had this little 'computer problem' and I wasn't able to write stories for months. And what's more is that all documents got deleted. But, I'd rather not talk about it.

On to the story!

Chapter 4

An Unexpected Visitor

Matthew took a few steps back. The large creature in front of him. His knees trembled and he was scared... scared. He remembered that his master taught him to never be afraid. But he had never seen anything like this. It was a demon. Injured, but still. But that wasn't the only thing on his mind. Who was Hunter Aran? And how those this thing know him.

Matthew brought the courage to speak. "What do you want with me?"

The mechanical beast gave a chuckle. "You know what I want with you, but I suppose I can jog your memory. My master Biostar wants me to kill you and the rest of the Smash Force."

Matthew went silent for a few seconds. "The rest of the what?"

"Don't play dumb with me!" Meta Roared causing Matthew to jump back. "You know exactly what I'm talking about!"

"Actually, I don't"

Meta looked up and roared to the sky.

"HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW ABOUT ANYTHING! YOU AND GOD DAMNED TEAM HAVE BEEN A PAIN IN BIOSTAR'S SIDE FOR A LONG TIME AND YET YOU CAN'T REMEMBER ANYTHING!"

"Nope..."

Meta was enraged with the boy. He swung his claw at the boy. Matthew shielded his eyes so he wouldn't see his own demise. But after awhile, he realized that nothing happened. He waited longer, but nothing. When he looked, Meta wasn't moving. Nor were the birds in the sky. He looked inside his house and saw that his family was also frozen.

"What the?" He said as he realized that everything but him was frozen. "What happened now?"

"Now and then. Too me, it's all the same."

That voice.

Matthew looked around to find the source, but all he saw was a frozen monster and his family.

"I'm up here."

Matthew looked up, but ounce he did, he soon regretted it. He fell to his knees as the figure approached him. He couldn't believe who it was. Clockwork himself descended from the sky. Clockwork came close to the boy. Matthew bowed before him.

"No need for formalities young king." He said. "I should be the on bowing to you. After all you are the one to gain the throne of wisdom."

Matthew stood up, but he was still afraid. He was talking to a god for crying out loud.

"You seem confused and I suppose it's because my appearance. Or is it because of what Meta-Ridley said."

Matthew was able to talk. "Both actually."

"Well I can tell you that what he says is true."

Matthew stared at him.

"However it isn't true yet. But it shall soon be."

Clockwork extended his hand. It glowed with an awesome power. But something made Matthew feel strange. He looked at his arm and noticed that his hand, was disappearing. His eyes widened. And it wasn't just his hand, it was his entire body.

Before he was completely gone, Clockwork said something to him. "Your battle is not here in the past, but in the future."

And with that, Matthew was completely gone.

"SIR! YOU HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS!"

I know this super short and you probably expected some epic battle, but like I said, my files got deleted and I had to start from scratch. And what's more is that made this in my sleep... no seriously, I had this dream that was exactly like this.

See ya next time.
