Why can't I feel anything?
The last thing I remember is the sensation of being impaled.
Where am I?
Now that I come to think of it, who am I exactly? No, what am I?
Why is darkness surrounding me?
As these questions kept on popping up in his mind, Aven, drowned into a sea of darkness in his consciousness.

'You ready?'
'Of course I am, I am the one who devised this plan after all.'
'Did you create the substitute?'
'I did, but are you sure you killed them all?'
'Yeah, I'm sure. Now the General should dispatch a squad to investigate. If all goes well, Captain Walter is probably gonna show up.'
'Good.'
'Come here, after 5 more hours or so.'
'You can count on me.'
Saying this, their paths separated, literally.

1:37 pm, Sunday, 3015.
'Yo Aven! What's up?' Louis stopped him as he was cantering through the busy streets.
Aven dashed to a stop. He bent down his knees to take a breath.
'The sky is up, what else is?' Aven looked up to reply.
'Usual Aven.' Louis muttered under his breath at once as if he was expecting that answer.
Louis was one of his childhood friends. He had a cheerful personality which happened to irritate Aven. But nevertheless he is useful sometimes. He is always known to Aven as his 'rival' or something of that sort.
'Oh, yeah are going anywhere? If not, then -' Louis was stopped short by Aven.
Aven had already reckoned where this conversation was leading to. I'm sure now he's gonna ask me to hang over at his place. I better make my move quick or else.
'Sorry Louis, but I just got an urgent call from my Captain. I must hurry, or you know.... how Captain Walter is like.' Aven finished, inspecting Louis face, awaiting for any sign of giving up.
'Oh, now that I think about you became a Second Lieutenant, so did I!' Louis exclaimed, looking at his face, waiting for him to be surprised.
The sun was shining incessantly onto the crowded streets. The rushing people, from an aerial view, looked exactly like ants interweaving in each others paths, and bumping into each other slightly. Not a single person gave notice to them as they were standing on the middle of the streets, which looked odd among the 'ants'.
'What the-! When did you become a Second Lieutenant?' Aven looked at him, perplexed.
'Okay, let me see...' Louis started to say playfully enjoying the sudden expression on Aven's face, 'I guess after the second last mission.'
'And you didn't tell me anything about that? And there I went thinking that I finally surpassed you.' Aven finished that last part with a sigh.
'What are you talking about? You can't surpass me just by being raised to a higher position!'
All of a sudden Louis expression turned grave. 'You have to remember we are not the same species.'
He was right, he was a Reavein and Aven a human. In that world that was not such a bad thing for a human to be friends with a Reavein, in fact they already have joined forces to form an alliance.
'Anyways,' Aven wanted to end the conversation quick, ' I've to go! Bye!' Saying this he ran away from him at full speed even before Louis could reply back
Why does he have to be so impolite? Louis thought as he started to run towards the main entrance to meet up with his squad.
***
Ten minutes later.
Dammit! I'm late. Aven glanced at his watch. He was fifteen minutes late. Well, it was not exactly Louis's fault, fully. According to him, he would still be 5 minutes late, if he hadn't come across Louis on the way.
After a moment's running a two story building rose up in front of Aven. He stopped in front of the building. The walls were all damp and weeds were growing on. The whole concrete building kind of looked worn out. No one even have bothered to dust the walls or something like that for ages.
I wonder why Captain lives in this worn out building. Is he suffering from financial problems or does he like to live here? Aven thought as he headed towards the door.
The most weirdest thing about the building was that, even though it looked worn out and all, there was a computer based lock system there.
How did they set up the wires anyways? Don't they short - circuit because of the wall's dampness? Aven thought, as he fiercely kept on hitting several buttons simultaneously. The fingers kept on doing its work for more than one whole minute or so.
After a while he started to turn out cold. Well, now comes the difficult part.
Right after he hit the last three buttons at once, he jumped right in through the open door into a cold dark room.The door snapped shut behind him. As soon as the heart beating event was over he sat down on the freezing cold concrete floor to catch some breath. He thought of the dreadful incident that would happen if he was caught between the closing doors, he just didn't want to picture that. Why do they have to set up these kind of locks anyway? Don't they know that it's too risky?
Aven started to squint through the dark room, it was kinda tough for him, but after a moment he gave up.
'WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?! Come up, quick!' A voice boomed from upstairs.
Aven jerked up and squinted up to see his Captain standing in front of the door that lead upstairs. ' Yes sir!' Saying this he started running towards his captain.
'Would you mind answering my question?' The captain asked in an irritated way as Aven reached the top.
Aven entered to see his squad member - First Lieutenant Erick. 'Uh, sir, I just happened to meet Second Lieutenant Louis from the Reavein Division.' He said turning to Walter.
Erick was another one of those Aven's childhood friends, and they both grew up together. They truly, unlike Louis, had the exact same personality, which is that they were both unenthusiastic about almost everything, although the main difference among those two was that, Erick was always better in studies and handling weapons than Aven. Aven as you could say, a person who truly hates physical activities.
'That excuse isn't good enough. Anyways,' Captain Walter started to change the topic, as he did this he took a quick glance at his watch, ' I hope you two already know why I've called you here. It's about the case that just recently came up. You know that 4 days ago the general sent a group of investigators to search and investigate the Rayvengers' base. Already -' Walter was stopped short by Aven.
'Sir, sorry to interrupt, but why did they send investigators to search for the Rayvengers' base? I thought Rayvengers disappeared long time ago.' Aven asked softly afraid of being shouted at.
Walter's countenance turned shocked, 'What the-! What are you? Don't you ever touch the newspaper or watch the news broadcasted in a electronic box called Television or TV for short!' Walter just completely lost it, his temper that is.
'Uh, sorry sir. But still..' Aven said slowly partially realizing his mistake, but his curiosity overcame his fear to ask again. And even though, he couldn't care less to touch the newspaper, because he seriously hated reading paragraphs with difficult words in it.
Walter started to calm down from his quick rush of temper, 'I never had the intention of not telling you anyways. For starters you should know that there are two cities in this kingdom of ours. Ours is called Trigordy.' There was a moment's silence then Walter started to laugh after saying that.
'Sir, stop joking. I knew that. I'm not that uninformed.' Aven, embarrassed, said looking at Erick's laughing face.
Walter finally recovered from the laugh, 'Anyways, the other city, Elitrina, just got attacked several days ago. The people identified the attackers as Rayvengers. They happened to kidnap over hundred of children of the age of 6 from that city. They also happened to slaughter many, but no children were found dead, most of them were gone missing. The city however managed to capture one Rayvenger. As soon as he was interrogated, even before they could split anything out from him, he just committed suicide. So as you can understand their city is currently defenseless since that last assault. So our city took the responsibility of dispatching investigators to search for their base. And just this morning we totally lost contact with that group. Our current assumption is that they are either severely injured or they are dead.'
'So sir, are we the only group being dispatched?' Erick said dully, not showing much curiosity.
'No, a squad from the Reavein branch(the Reavein branch is from Elitrina) has already been dispatched, thirty minutes ago or so,' Walter checked his watch, then continued,' However the captain of that squad(Haymes) is currently on a different mission, so they put the First lieutenant of that squad's temporary captain.'
'Okay before we begin the mission it's better to know the teammates of that squad, just to be on the safe side... Here are the names: (Temporary) Captain Kelvin and Second Lieutenant Louis.' Walter repeated from what was written on a scrip of paper.
He even has to see a script of paper to read only those two names? Thought Aven, holding his laughter inside. It was no big deal if a captain saw a piece of paper to read out two mere names, but Aven emphasized the situation as he wanted to repay Walter for embarrassing him.
'Louis?' Aven emerged out of his thoughts. But, he never mentioned he was dispatched on a mission as same as ours. Hang on, that means that he wasn't going ask me to hang out at his house? Then what was he going to ask? Aven didin't know the answer to that.
'Okay! Enough talk! Move out! Move out!' Walter signaled them, totally ignoring Aven's question of surprise.
As Walter rushed out the two followed him out, but they had no way of knowing that they were just getting lured into the enemy's trap.
Preview of the Next Coming Chapter:
As Walter's squad head to rendezvous with the other squad, Kelvin and Louis is confronted by a mysterious Rayvenger. The Rayvenger overwhelms them, regardless of the number. Louis' team calls for help, but will the reinforcements arrive in time? Or will the latency of the reinforcements lead them to be walking on their companions' dead bodies and the crimson flooded horizon?
The last thing I remember is the sensation of being impaled.
Where am I?
Now that I come to think of it, who am I exactly? No, what am I?
Why is darkness surrounding me?
As these questions kept on popping up in his mind, Aven, drowned into a sea of darkness in his consciousness.
