Planning to Escape

Miller, the officer and Zabat were still inside the black room and so where the other prisoners.

Seeing James die through the screen had made Miller feel uneasy.

"Don't worry, you are with me, i will protect you" The officer said to Miller, because he could see the worried look in the boy's face.

"Thanks" Miller replied with a smile.

The officer was now in a secluded area and was talking to his computer AI.

"Hello Derek, it's been a long time since we spoke to each other" the Ai said. The AI words could only be heard by Derek. It would have been better if he had his helment on, but it had been damaged by Getrax earlier.

Others looking at the Officer talking thought he was mad. They could not hear the AI's voice; they could only hear his voice. So from their angle, it looked like he was talking to himself or an invisible being.

"Have you been able to contact Eric?" Derek asked the system a little annoyed in his tone.

"I have tried my best, but it seems like there is no way to contact our planet Earth" The system AI replied.

"You are actually useless, how do you expect me to leave this place, if you keep saying this i would stay here forever, try your best, if it is possible for me to make a portal just tell me, i need to go back home." Derek lamented.

"I have tried my possible best to contact the rest, but it seems impossible, i also tried contacting Eric but it is not possible, i don't know how to create a portal we still have to wait here a little longer and besides you have not completed your mission" The System AI said.

Derek was now angry at the system's reply and when he remembered the mission he was actually sent to do, it angered him the more: "Eric said i should bring James Theodore alive, James THEODORE is now dead so what do you expect me to do, my main aim is no longer about the mission, i just want to go back home".

"Relax, everything would be fine" The System AI said trying to calm him down.

"Why do i feel like you know something i don't, is there anything you know that I don't know, answer me..." Derek replied in an angressive tone.

Instead of replying, the System AI remained quiet like it was not the one the question was referred to.

"You are keeping things from me, i knew it, you can contact the base, so why have you refused to do that?" Derek asked in an annoyed tone.

The system AI still did not answer him.

Miller and Zabat were sitting close to each other, they were a little far away from Derek; the officer, so they could not hear what he was saying.

Derek was now heading to their direction, his face looked frustrated.

"What's wrong" Miller asked.

"It's none of your business" Derek quickly snapped back.

Derek's attitude towards Miller had suddenly changed and he replied angrily.

"What is the problem with you" Miller replied angrily.

Derek just kept quiet like he was not the one Miller was talking to.

*******

Moments later One of the alien prisoners approached Derek.

"please if you know a way out of this place, a way out of this hell, a way i can leave this place and go back to meet my family, please i need your help i want to leave this place". The alien said to Derek, the alien's skin was made of rock and the alien was around 165 centimeters tall.

Before Derek could reply, the other prisoners had surrounded him, they all bowed down their head as an indication of their respect.

"We will work with you no matter what, as long as the aim is to leave this place" They all said. Derek smiled.

"You have seen a way to leave this place, that is good for you" The system AI said to Derek.

Derek himself thought it was better to introduce himself to them before he could lead them. He just did a little brief introduction.

"My Name is Derek Talon, I am from the planet known as Earth, i promise that we will leave this place Alive, WHO IS WITH ME!!!"

The prisoners started cheering him up. Miller on the other hand never knew what the officer's name was.

"Derek Talon, cool name just like my friends name Watson" Miller said to himself.

Watson Simmons was Miller's best friend in school while he was on Earth.

*******

Inside a rocky prison, it was the same prison where James, Getrax, Miller, Zabat, and Derek had once been. A humanoid creature was standing at the center of the prison. The creature was dressed in sack clothes. It looked exactly like a human; maybe it is a human being. The brown sack-like cloth covered its entire body, only his fingers and a little part of his foot could be seen. From its appearance, it was clearly a human being. When looking at his face, all one could see was darkness. It was as if he had no face; his entire visage was hidden behind the sack cloth, revealing only darkness.

If one still looked further, they could see prisoners lying on the floor dead around him.

"Who killed these prisoners" He talked to himself.

When he had arrived here, the prisoners were all dead; implying someone was also looking for what he was also looking for.

What or who was he looking for?

"It seems like they know who he is, i know i have not failed, i can still feel his presence, he is no longer here, he must have been taken to fight in the tournament" The human with no face said and he still continued speaking to himself:

"He is not dead, i can still feel him, He is still alive, for He is... The One foretold in the prophecy, the one whose arrival has been long awaited by all. And now, He has finally come." He concluded with a smile.
