7 The End Of The Beginning

"So Mark how did you survive after evolution? as I recalled to you saying that the sky camp was bloody and stuff"

"Okay back to the past.....,"

I saw a woman lying on the floor, already dead her arms tightly knot together by what seemed to be her own flesh. I was shocked as to who could do such a thing. I looked up and saw this Android playing with another dead body. I got so angry picked up a rod and pierced it's metallic skin. "It was just too easy"

I said to myself. The metals then before I entered the pod were dense. It was then and there I recalled my indispense: Allslash; the ability to cut through all. I noticed the iron rod didn't just pierce but also slided downwards diagonally from point of impact leaving a large cut that would've been deadly to humans on the Android. After killing it, I hid until the rest were all gone to find out what had happened and check for any survivors. There I met your great great great grandmother. she was a little harsh and seldom talked .I asked questions about what had happened but all she kept doing was scream. It got on my nerves but I had to calm down.who could blame her? she just had whatever was left of her family massacred by the Androids right in front of her very eyes. She had your eyes but it was filled with Soo much vengeance I couldn't understand. She introduced herself to me as Lylia.I asked for her last name also she said she forgot. It was then I noticed she was bleeding in the head.

"Your bleeding"

"I know. I don't have much time left. search the rubbles beneath the first floor you'll see something. I leave it in your hands."

"Something? what is it?" I said trying to make her not fall asleep as her eyes were already fading to black.

"Lylia! Lylia! speak to me com3 on!. "

But she had already gave up the ghost.

I went as instructed to the point where she mentioned only to find a baby; an infant wrapped in babycloth I realized it was a boy.

Immediately I tried to clean him up the best I could.he had an alluring smile so nice it even lit up my world of horror. It was almost as if he knew the situation his mom was in; Lylia I mean. I decided to take him to fend for him till he was eventually of age and leanrt how to avoid Android attacks and fight one if necessary. He also helped me to adapt to the world and he even made a map of it; the world I mean. he was probably the most talented of your bloodline. Hell any bloodline. He had a talent of painting and after our travels together he made the map of the world and helped me gather survivors. Soon after little past three years, sky camp was rejuvenated again.

"Why did you come back to TRANCE after all these years?"

"Well...

"Sir we should start moving. This place is not safe"; a voice came from the door leading to the outside of the house. It was Annabelle.

"ohh yes I almost forgot" Mark replied.

"How isn't here safe?" I asked looking puzzled as here was as safe as safe could get.

"Because we are in Second territory." Anna replied.

"Second?" Mark said as even HE had no idea what she was talking about. His own noticed thought of 'not safe' wasnt what Anna had in mind.

"Oh you haven't heard? the Six Seconds these are people in top of the food chain in TRANCE

The Population ranked the top ten people closest to evolution after you evolved. The only number with more than one persons closest to evolution is the number two. The rest were just a number for one person."

"I have literally no idea of what your talking about. Do try breaking down a little bit please"

Mark suggested

"Okay. After your evolution, the public was filled again with hope and began striving to sharpen their indispense and try reaching the Finish Line. Some of which sharpen theirs faster than others and became stronger with time and climbed up the ranks most of the few to reach the top would try heading into the Finish Line thinking all would be well for them but eventually got devoured by it. The other cautious fellows never attempted it. rather tried expanding their territory and lived lives of little or no regrets. The ranking has never been stable until the Six Seconds. Six people so powerful that the don't deserve to be anything below the number two. Something unseen since the birth of TRANCE.

Till this very time the continue to expand their dominance.

"Seems the will be interesting to work with. I've decided! Anna, Aria I came back into TRANCE to look for my sister and defeat my annoying Father and so I need a few army of elites that will help me achieve my goal and what other better way than recruiting the best of the best?. Tomorrow we head out to gather the Six Seconds."

"Did you not hear her Mark the are at the top. You can't beat them" I said, reassuring him because I did not want to enter into a battle at the moment.

"He can if it's one on one. He already defeated one already, remaining five more."

"Huh have I?"

"Yes you have Master. you have beat me, hands down Then granted me the best gift yet. Thank you master." She said falling to his feet and attempting to lick it

"Umm.... are you among the Six Seconds?"

I asked

"Oh yes Aria."

"Wow so your that strong. I mean you SHOULD be considering you did this to us. We would have lost hope if you weren't amongst those at the top."

"Okay" Mark said, removing his feet from Anna's face that was busy licking it.

"We move out."
