Chapter twenty-one: Trouble

…

Huh, what is that? Rick murmured as he spotted some humans not too far frame the star gate. 

Hey, this place is very dangerous, you can follow me back to the base, Rick shouted at the group.

Hiss, one of the humans hissed before charging toward Rick.

Holy crap, these monsters are shape shifters. I better alert the others in the base else, everyone is going to die.

Miss Tasha, have you seen Rick? He has been missing for a long time?

I actually say him some hours ago but, he should have returned to you guys, Miss Tasha replied with a poker face before continuing. But, he told me he was returning back to you guys. 

But if he didn't return, where could he be? Tom asked.

Ma'am, over three hundred mutated monsters are moving towards the base, a female soldier said while trying to catch her breath.

How did the mutated monsters arrive here? All the mutated monsters were killed in Saudi Arabia, Miss Tasha asked the woman.

I do not know, she replied before continuing. Also, a boy gave us this information but, we haven't been able to spot him.

That must be Rick, Tom yelled.

I should have brought him back myself, Miss Tasha murmured before dashing out of the room.

Wait for me, Tom yelled before running after her.

---

Time barrier, I yelled.

Roar, the monster roared before charging again.

"slash," my sword echoed after slicing another monster head.

I have killed over twenty monsters but, there still more of them. If stronger monsters Apple, I may not survive, I mumbled.

Flame canon, Ice bullets, two voices echoed.

Miss Tasha, Tom thanks a lot. I would have died if you hadn't come to save me on time.

We have to leave now besides, you have a lot of cuts on your body, Miss Tasha said as she began to examine my body.

Wait, I tallied before picking the remaining core stones from the dead monsters body.

We should have let you die, Miss Tasha remarked after seeing me pick the core stones instead of running.

I am done, I replied before following them back to the base.

---

What mutated monsters? General Zach yelled after hearing the reports.

The mutated monsters from Saudi Arabia suddenly showed up. At first, I thought someone was using the gas but, I didn't see anyone, the man replied.

Hmm, ask all the soldier to get ready and also inform the head quarters about this. Also, request for backup.

Yes sir, the man saluted before leaving the office.

Rick, where have you been? May asked when I arrived at the room assigned to us.

We don't have much time, I replied before resuming. We have to leave this place now. There are over three hundred mutated monsters coming towards the base.

Mutated monsters, what are they? May asked.

They are shape shifters, they can take the shape of a person or an item, I replied her.

I shouldn't have come here, Le Xian mumbled.

Anyway, we babe to leave now. The rescue team should arrive in the next forty minutes so, we should try to hold on, Tom announced.

Forty minutes, Ben shouted like he had a bug in his both ears. How are we going to survive, I had never fought a monster before.

How about during the training session? May asked.

He didn't do anything, we were the ones killing the monsters, Ben assistant replied.

Cheat, Le Xian mumbled angrily.

 Lets start going, Tom reminded everyone before leaving the room with me.
