(I wont explain actually anything about this story. Only that it is a SciFi type story. I don't want to give away anything in my description of it. Comments are appreciated. Enjoy.)

Prologue: The 101 Log Entry

Starting Log...

log entry 101... Aliens. What does that word really mean? When the word is spoken some only think of odd and abnormal shaped beings from another planet, even more so from another solar system. From what we have been feed, the food for thoughts, about these beings we call aliens is this; They are against us for some odd reason no one can explain, they look to be human but don't seem to have any genders or wear clothing, they speak through thought and are some how psychic, they are more advance then us, and we think the government has massive information on these begins but decides, for some unknown reason, to keep this information from us. Some people will say they have indeed saw an alien, have been abducted by them, saw a UFO, or have witness an event they understand to believe that aliens were involved somehow. There are countless books and movies on these beings, most of them stating that they seek to brainwash us, kill us, run test on us, or have been here for as long as we have and are hiding in plain sight. Set aside form the fantasy side of these beings some believe that they are very much real.

Why they are here, is still a question none can answer truthfully and without guessing or stating an opinion. What if what all that you know and have heard of aliens isn't true at all? What if you didn't believe that aliens are real until you actually come across one? What would it look it, where would it be, and why would it be there. What if these beings didn't come to end human kind? What if they came here to prevent an end to our race? Why would they try to safe us? What cause and purpose would this serve for them? Maybe they are just like us. Maybe, preventing our end would somehow save themselves. What if they caused something to happen that would cause an apocalypse upon us, and they are simply trying to stop what they have done. Maybe, their watching to see if something would happen, perhaps guarding us from a far worse threat. Maybe, they aren’t going to do anything at all. Perhaps, they don't even exist. Are we alone? Many have thought so. But only one has the answer to that, and many have asked Him while bent down on their knees praying. What if, these beings also answered to God. Would that make us anymore save? After all, there are many different kinds humans on this planet. Surely, not all aliens agree on the same thing. To them, we're the aliens and they are the humans. And if what we know and believe about them to be true, adding in the government’s secrecy of them, then why are we not preparing ourselves? Maybe the government is already preparing and wish to keep it silent. But what about everyone else? Why aren't we preparing? Or maybe, we are preparing. But for what?

That same question still remains. Why are they here?... That answer is simple. They are preparing. Preparing for the worse that is yet to come across the human race. Why you may ask? Because if we knew an entire alien race would be wiped out from the galaxy, and we had the means to stop the destruction of an entire race, wouldn't we put forth our efforts to see to it that this doesn't happen? But, the question of why they are here is not fully answered. Yes, perhaps they mean to stop some crisis that can end the human race, but why are they here? What do they plan on doing about it? What is going to happen that wipes us out completely? Why us, why them, why me!... I've been thinking about these thoughts for over several months at least. Though each time I ask, they don't respond with a direct answer. Most of the time they don't even answer at all. I think I've spent most of my time thinking about this, I'm starting to forget everything else. Knowing that your world is going to end at some point in time and you are the only one that can save it can take a toll on someone. Especially when your told by alien beings. I think I'm going to let my brain rest for now. Its about 11:54. My name is Rook Steel, and this is log entry 101.

Do people really read these?
Not bad, but I spotted various grammatical errors.

Dammit, there's an ad down here that says "The God Who Wasn't There".

Thank you both. I'm aware of the mistakes on this one and the last one... I'm lazy, sorry. Hope you enjoy.

Chapter 1: Awake When Dreaming

Star lights shine down upon the house hold where Rook is in. The moon is half full and has a slight curve in it, almost like a big crest in the dark sky. Some trees post around the house, almost looking like they are guarding it. In side this house, Rook sits inside one of the four rooms on a bed. Next to the bed is a night stand with an alarm clock on it, and another strange device that is all silver with some blue. The device is square, bigger then a hand, and has a slit in the middle for something to be inserted into it.

"My name is Rook Steel, and this is log entry 101." Rook speaks into a smaller circular object. The object looked like a small disk of some kind. He sighs and looks at the device on the night stand as he held the small disk in his hand. He then inserted into the device which made the middle of it glow blue for several minutes, then it stop glowing and turned back into a clear silver color. He then reached for his bed sheets and pulls them over him as he laid back on to the bed. Once his head sunk into the pillow, he looked towards his lamp and stares, thinking it would seem. He then reaches out and switched the lamp off, covering his room it total darkness while closing his eyes.

A half hour went by as Rook slept. The moon light was bright and lite up the front yard, where his window faced. His room was on the first floor so it was close to the ground. A light tap was heard from his window, though Rook was in such a state of sleep he didn't hear it. His blinds covered the window so he couldn't see out of his window and no one could see into his window. But outside his window, something was watching him. Through the small slits in the blinds, dark black eyes peered through them, eying as much of Rook as it can through the blinds. It was staring upon him for a great amount of time, and might have even be there before Rook laid on his bed. These dark eyes stared intensely through the the blinds and simply just watched him sleep. Rather suddenly, it took off to its right and caused the bushes to rustle out side his window. This noise triggered his hearing senses but the rest of him was still in sleep mode.

Several minutes later Rooks door began to slowly move its way back, opening little by little. About half way of the door opening the hinges moaned a rusty creaking noise. This sound amplified his hearing which triggered his eyes to become focus as they slowly began to open. The creaking noise continued which brought his mind back to reality, flinging open his eyes widely and staring into the darkness of his room. He quickly spun his head towards his lamp and reached for it at the same time, switching it on as fast as he could. The lamp burst with light and revealed his whole room. Two beings stood at the end of his bed as his eyes laid upon them. Them were a gray like blue color and wore strange pieces of clothing that had an odd shine to it. Their hands bared only three fingers and their feet were covered. They stood up right and looked almost human. Their eyes beamed a dark blue color with a light blue circle in the middle of them. As well, their eyes were more oval then circular.

"Did we wake you?" One of them spoke. This being looked to be female by the way her alien body was curved and her posture gave it away was well, pule her voice. Rook shakes his head and lowers it while sighing.

"Do you two always have to sneak into my room like that?" he asked in a slightly annoyed voice, but more of a joking tone.

"Would you rather us be like the others rush in here with out a care if your sleeping or not?" The male being asked as he stepped forward to line himself with the female.

"I guess not... So, how long is this one going to take?" The human asked them as he swung his legs to the edge of his bed.

"Do you wish to address something, Rage?" The female asked moving towards him so their voices wont have to be so loud.

"Why ask such a question?" Rook replies looking at the ground.

"You normally just lay back down, but you've made it seem if your not ready for us to begin." She answers him as she sat next to him. She was taller then he was, sitting and standing.

"Yes, I guess I'm not ready. I've been doing this for months, almost years now and I still don't know whats being done to me. I wake up with healed scares on me sometimes, have strange dreams or most of the time don't have any dreams at all, and I don't know if what your doing to me is either good or bad." he explains, sighing as if he had held that in for a while.

"If we wanted to damage you in someway, you would have known by now." She tells him, trying to look him in the eyes as he kept looking at the floor.

"Then what are you doing then? And why me? Why do you call me Rage? Whats all this for? Why am I left out of the loop when I'm the one being worked on?" His eyes lifted up and stared into her oval eyes. Though he stared at them as if he would do so to any other normal human being. She stared back at him for while, pondering on what to say.

"We've had this discussion already. We can't not--"

"I know... You can't tell me what I want to know... I don't even know why I bothered asking." Rook looks back at the floor as she looked away in slight shame.

"Rage... Rook, know that we do want to tell you everything we know. But for your safety, and ours, we can not tell you anything. Mizraid and I fight over this same topic everyday. We feel you have the right yo know. But we simply can not tell you. You'll have to trust us that we are doing this to keep you safe." The male being tells him as he knelt in front of Rook and lifted his up to look into his eyes. Rook just stared into those alien eyes and nods after a brief pause.

"I know... Just, promise me one day you'll tell." Rook tells him as he looked into his eyes again.

"When the time is right, you'll know all that we know... Perhaps more." The male replies as he stood up and held out his hand to help Mizraid to her feet.

"I'm counting on it Saydiz." He replies laying back on his bed and looking up at them as they got as close as they can to the edge of the bed.

"Are you ready Rage?" Mizraid asked with a comforting look in her eyes. He looks at both of them for a while before answering them with a nod.

"Yes. But before you being, can you at least tell me why you call me Rage?" He asked closing his eyes.

"Its your code name, Rook. Code name: Rage." Saydiz answers as Rook begins to fall into a deep sleep. He heard what Saydiz said as he drifted off into sleep.

"... Code name, Rage?" He asked himself, trying to think of what it meant. Of course, this only brought many more unanswerable questions to his mind.

...
...
...
...

"Code Name: Rage, Online. Activating test arena 5.V" A robotic voice states in Rooks mind. All is pitch black in his sights, but soon, lights start to shine in and reveal something. It is an all white large room with computer workings and high tech machines all colored in white and made into this big room. The floor was the only thing that wasn't made up of some kind of high tech alien computer system. The only thing not white was the nobs and buttons and on the computers.

"Huh, same dream... Again... I'm starting to think that I'm not even dreaming anymore, and this is some how real. Like if I'm awake while I'm dreaming." Rook tells himself out loud.

"Correct." A circular black and blue robot states floating in front of him. It then scans Rook with its one robotic eye which is in the center of the round alien metal.

"Code name Rage. Welcome once again. I am--"

"Tosaku... I know, I've been here before. So lets just get this over with please." Rook tells the machine as he cracks his neck some, then his fingers.

"Very well. Your command is applied." The robot, Tosaku, replies and soon zips off towards the wall. Once it reaches the wall it attaches itself to it.

"Don't I get any weapons?" Rook asked looking around. Suddenly a sword with green glowing markings on it digitizes before him. He grabs it in his hand looks at it for a moment.

"Thanks." He adds looking at it some more.

"Preparing for combat." Tosaku tells him, but this time its robotic voice echoed through out the whole room.

"Ignition in five... Four... Three... Two... One... Zero... Commence battle." It adds and with those words, humanoid robots came up from the ground through circular doors that can only open from the inside, which is where they came from. Three of these robot beings appeared and set their sights on Rook. The robots moved as if they were actual beings instead of robots. They weren't stiff and moved so freely, though they had the face of an expressionless robot.

"What powers does this brand of sword have? I've never picked up this one all the other times I was here." Rook asked out loud.

"The sword on which you are holding is called the Green Die Blade. Its class is part of the Shape Shifting Slicers. As for the powers it welds, that information you'll have to acquire for your self." Tosaku's voice echoed through the room again, giving him the details of the sword, but not the answer he wanted.

"Always have to find out the hard way, huh?" He replies and takes a deep breathe as the three robotic beings moved towards him.

"Alright, lets do this then." Rook adds as he slid his feet into an awkward fighting stance and pointed his sword towards the three robots in front of him. Suddenly, his ears picked up the sound of doors being slid open quickly behind him. He looks over his shoulder and sees five more robots making their way towards him. Before he could comment on their arrival, his eyes caught three more to his right. Tilting his head some in disbelieve, he quickly swung his head to the left after having a though run across his mind. Sure enough, four more bots were there.

"I know I've been worked on for the past several months, but don't you think this is a bit much?" He tells Tosaku as he switched his sights to the three in front of him.

"Negative. I was ordered to increase the level of these test." It replies with his echoing voice.

"When you say 'these test' I'm guessing you mean that these fifteen robots surrounding me aren't all that I'm going to get." He asked looking around at the groups once more before focusing his attention on the largest group.

"Correct. Once these robots have be defeated, more will arrive. Depending on how fast you eliminate the R-K Bots will determine how fast they will arrive and how many." The echoing voice informs him which caused him to narrow his eyes.

"Fine... Not gonna say its fair, but since when has 'fair' ever be implied since I started this." He tells himself out loud.

"Correct. This is the point of this test. To prove to you how unfair it is."

"I think just surrounding me at the start would of gave me the idea. Seeing as you've never started me off this way before."

"Negative. The point would have never gotten across. Why worry, you are being worked on as we speak. Surely you'll grasp the point that is trying to be made." Rook was slightly confused on the words that Tosaku just spoke. He narrowed his eyes as he looked around once more, then at his sword, then back at the largest group of R-K Bots.

"That last thing he said didn't make sense. The point of this test is to show me how unfair it is. That is what he said. So why would he bring up the fact that I'm being worked on as this test is going on? That wouldn't make things unfair, it'll probably make things even. I mean, that is what I was told the first time I did this test. He said as I was in here, I was being upgraded or improved. So why would it be unfair if for me if I'm the one being worked on..." Though this wasn't the time for several questions, Rook had enough time to think for a while before the R-K bots would even come in range of attacking, let alone think of attacking.

"Unless..." After thinking this word Rook's eyes became wide s a thought exploded in his mind.

"Even if I wasn't being worked on, this still would be unfair. But not to me, but to them. He said the point of this test if to prove that its unfair. but he never said to whom it would be unfair to. Which is why he told me not to worry, that as we speak I'm being improved which would make this test MORE unfair to the R-K bots then it already is! But, how? How can this be unfair to them? Do they really think I'm that much stronger then they are? What 'improvements' have they done on me? What ARE these improvements? What powers do they grant me? What am I capable of doing!?"

"Rage. Are you well? Your facial features so signs of confusion as well showing that something is disturbing you." Tosaku's echoing voice rang in his head and shook out all the flooding questions he just had.

"Nothing... I was just thinking... That's all." He replies as he displays his battle ready face.

"Rage, I've noted countless of times that your seem to think and ponder very often. This thinking process of yours is undetermined if it will harm you or help you in the future."

"What the heck does that suppose to mean?" He asked slightly angered and confused.

"It doesn't mean anything for now. Its a simple note I pointed out. Continue as you were." Rook starts to become slightly frustrated with its answer. He didn't have time for a long drawn out speech that would cause an argument he wanted to have. So, he settled for something smaller since the R-K bots were closing in on him.

"Next time, put them closer... I hate waiting... Just as much as you do." He tells Tosaku as his hair began to change form a jet black to a dark red.

"Your request is... Noted..." It replies which made Rook's iris flare a dark red color.

"Unfair huh... Time to prove them right." And with that, the five R-K bots dropped like flies in a matter of seconds with Rook standing behind them with fire in his eyes and rage building up.

Thank you once again. This chapter is indeed long. Hope you enjoy.

Chapter 2: Extract

Beep Beep Beep, Beep Beep Beep, Beep Beep Beep! The sound of Rook's alarm clock rings which slowly bring him to wake up. As his eyes begun to open the alarm clock goes off again, ringing in his ears as he brings himself to yawn and stretch. Before the alarm could ring for a third time he reached out his arm and slammed his hand on the off button lazily and tired. His eyes were closed while he was hunched over on his bed, one hand on the alarm clock and the other holding himself up so he wouldn't fall off his bed. He sighs as he leans back and kneels on his bed, almost sitting on his feet. Still with his eyes closed he sits there tired and sleepy. He suddenly lifted his eye lids open in a slow manner. His eyes seemed to be focused on something but not anything in front of him. This focused look was on something mentally. He then looks over his shoulder at his legs and stared for a few seconds. He then reaches behind him and grabbed his sweat pants which he wore to sleep. He lifted them up to reveal his calves. Upon seeing his calves his eyes slightly narrowed.

"Another scare..." he thinks to himself, staring at it and knowing that scare was never there before he had gone to sleep. He lets go his his sweats and swings his legs over the edge of his bed. He stretches his arms upward as he stretched out his legs as well.

"Well, they don't feel any different... Then again, what was I expecting." He thinks more as his stretching came to an end, causing him to rise up off his bed and walk towards his closet. There was a towel rack hanging on his closet door. He grabs a towel and exits his room into the hallway. Inside the bathroom he starts to brush his teeth and look at himself in the mirror, checking his face to see if there were any mysterious scares on his face. After he was done brushing his teeth he starts to play with his hair. His hair was slightly stiff and very crazy looking, pillow hair if you will. He then takes off his plan black shirt and tossed it to the side so he can get into the shower. He goes to grab his sweats when he suddenly noticed a slightly large scare across his chest. The scare was vertical and on his left side and slightly below his chest, reaching down to the start of his abs. He looks at it intensely, knowing for a fact that this scare wasn't there before.

"...Hmp... Normally I find more then one scare near the same place on my body. So why would they break that habit? Its like a pattern for them. Either one scare that they leave behind, or more then one in a general spot... The thing is, I always know where they left a scare. I've been doing this for so long I can feel them now. But this one... This one is different..." He starts to wrap his mind around this event, trying to have it make sense somehow. Shrugging it off, he continues what he was doing.

Moments later he was dressed and putting on his watch. The cloths he wore were casual, as if he was going to school, for his back pact sat next to his foot as he stood next to his dresser. He clips his keys to his belt loop behind him and grabs his wallet to shove into his pocket. He then looks at the top of his dresser and sees his pocket knife. It was longer then his hand when opened, but folded it could fit into his pocket and not be noticeable to anyone. Thinking if he should bring it or not, he decides to do so and shoves it into his back pocket. He bends down and grabbed his back pact to quickly head out the door. He jogs to a dark green car in the drive way and opens the passenger door and tossed his back pact on the seat. Jogging around the car and reaching the other side he opens the driver side and slides right in while closing the door. A few seconds go by as he backs out the drive way and takes off towards his school.

...
...
...
...

Alien technology was everywhere. It was a dark room, no lights were present. The only light available were from the alien looking computer screens. There were three rows of of screens, each row had thirteen screens. There was a large keyboard below the screens that reached from one end to the other. Four alien begins sat at this massive alien computer which was in an unknown location. The alien beings look similar to the other ones that Rook spoke to. One of them was a female and the other three were males. The female sat at the far right. These screens displayed different things. Some displayed humans like Rook, going form here to there and living their lives. They were singled out and focused on, as if being watched closely. The other screens showed more humans, but they were in that same room Rook was when he was having his so called dream. Each screen displaying these so called dreams with different humans had one thing in common, Tosaku, or at least a robot that looked exactly like it. In the center of this computer was the screen that showed Rook driving away from his house.

"Hey, take a look at this." One of the male aliens calls to the other sitting next to him. The alien that was called to moved towards the other in a sliding motion while remaining seated. Stopping next to him the alien looks at the screen of Rook as it was being rewind. A second goes by and the screen was set in play as they watched. They see Rook finish brushing his teeth and then take off his shirt. The screen then paused and zoomed in.

"Rage wasn't suppose to have any torso scaring in last night procedure." The male on the left tells the other.

"Let me double check out records, encase they decided to add something special in for the test. After all, yesterday was Rage's test day." The one on the right replies as he began typing. In between the bottom row of screens and the keyboard was a black empty space. In that empty space another smaller screen pops up as the being typed. They both stared at the screen as it displayed Rook's records, though the words were in a different alien language.

"No, they didn't do anything that would require them to leave a scare on his chest. And during the test he didn't even get a scratch on him. He left the test arena unharmed, as expected." The right seated alien explains.

"I was told from last night's crew that his viewing panel went out for a brief moment. Maybe he fell off his bed and some how manage to hurt himself." The same alien continued.

"Get real Oxton, that scare is deep. And falling off his bed wont produce such a wound like that... How long of a brief moment was the panel out for?" The left seated alien asked, narrowing his eyes as if trying to solve a case.

"He didn't say. He just figured it was a tiny glitch of some kind and didn't bother reporting it."

"Who was seated at this station last night?"

"... I think it was the Zotak brothers, Kitso, and some new new named Yoso. The new guy wasn't the one that told me about it though. One of the Zotak brothers did."

"I see... He was the smart one then. Reporting this would might have caused him to be removed from this station, which would of made things difficult for us."

"...So, we're not going to report it? I mean, that scare is not our work."

"Correct, we're not going to report. Not yet anyways. We'll keep a close eye on Rage, see if anything else happens while we're here. Also, don't tell anyone else about this. I want to see if we'll find anything new when out shift comes around again." He tells him as he narrowed his eyes while looking upon the paused video that showed Rook's scared chest. With a click of a button, the screen goes back to Rook driving to school.

...
...
...
...

Almost an hour or two later, Rook was already in school and have gone through at least one of his classes. A few classes later he can be seen walking through the halls. He wasn't really focused and deep in thought. He walked down a flight of stairs and began to pass by some lockers.

"Hey Rook!" A female's voice rang out through the hall from the locker area. He quickly spun around in reaction to the voice calling him. His eyes lit up and he smiled as he recognized who it was. As he went to take a step towards her, he was suddenly and violently shoved backwards. He stumbles backwards and slammed his back into one of the lockers. He grunts as the middle of his back struck against the nob of the locker. He looked up and saw a athletic male wearing the school's team jacket. Of course, every school bully has to be surrounded by their minion, also wearing the same jacket.

"Rook Steel. walking in my way again I see." the make speaks as he smirked a twisted and mean smirk while eying him.

"Funny I'd run into you. Cause your just the guy I wanted to see." He continues as Rook just shakes his head and stands up right. He looked passed the male to see if the girl that called him was still there. She wasn't, which touched a nerve and caused him to narrow his eyes.

"Hey! I'm talking to you!" The bully shouts and shoved him against the locker once more, causing Rook to slam his back into that nob again and grunt a little louder this. Rook lowered his head as the pain settled down.

"What is it Dan." Rook replied as he kept his sights on the ground and didn't bother lifting up his head.

...
...
...
...

"Sir! We may have a problem!" One of the aliens shouts behind him while keeping his focus on one of the screens in front of him. It was displaying Rook and the bully named Tom. Another being came from the darkness behind them and stood behind the left seated alien from before. Now there was five of them instead of four.

"Do nothing, for now anyways." The being that was standing orders a they both watched Tom talk to Rook. Tom shoved Rook into the locker once more which caused the one standing to narrow his eyes while making the seated one look concern.

"Ready the R-T Drones." He orders to the one sitting. With out even thinking about it the one sitting begins to type on the key board.

...
...
...
...

By now a crowd had gathered around Rook and Tom as they exchange words. As they talk to another and argue, a few kids standing around suddenly become serious and narrow there eyes upon the scene. There were a mix of male and females, all reacting the same way but standing in different spots. Their eyes suddenly and quickly flashed a light purple color that none saw. Everyone's attention was focus on Rook and Tom that no one saw this side event.

...
...
...
...

"The drones are activated sir. What is your next call?" The seated one asked while staring at Rook and Tom through the screen. The standing being just watched intensely as he focus on Rook the most.

"Bring up is vital signs." He finally spits out. In a matter of seconds another screen pops up next to Rook's records from before. This new screen that presented it self had lines which looked like something that would his heart rate, but there were more lines that had different readings.

"Sir?" The one sitting down asked looking at the lines for a moment. The one standing looks deeply upon the display of lines and the screen of Rook and Tom. Back and forth his eyes switch form screen to screen, watching the readings waver about. After studying them and seeing what is going on between Rook and Tom, he leans forward while putting on of his hands on the back of the chair.

"Activate Code Name: rage." He orders slightly frustrated.

"But keep it under control you hear me." He adds with a stern voice as he glared upon the screen. The seated one just nods and begins to type in something.

...
...
...
...

Rook was becoming annoyed by Tom's continuous shoving and shouting. His fist were already balled up and ready to take a swing at Tom, though he was holding himself back.

"I can't contain myself... Tom, I've already gave you several warnings. I don't know what I'm capable of doing! If I strike, I might do more damage then what I intended to. If I don't do anything now, I'll be forced to do something far worse then I need to. Each time I don't do anything and talk back, I push us father down the road where I might kill him. I got to figure out a way to get out of this! I got to stop me from killing him! I can't do nothing, but if I do SOMETHING, it might be over the top! What am I suppose to do!" Rooks mind was going into a crazed state, holding back and thinking of what to do. He was stuck it would seem, figuring out if striking out at him would indeed get him out of this jam. Suddenly his eyes became wide eyed and his heart beat loudly. His head jerked upward as he started into Tom's eyes like a deer with head lights. Tom looks at him with a concern look. This wasn't normal, Rook was acting different now. The bully didn't know what to think of this, so he took a step back as he balled up his fist unsure and slightly scared.

"Hey, what the hell is your problem now?" He taunted, trying to see if Rook was simply messing with him or if something was wrong. Rook just stared, without blinking, without moving, and without uttering a word or sound. He just stared with his eyes wide and focused straight ahead.

"Hey! I'm talking to you!" He shouted angrily, trying to snap Rook out of it. He didn't know what was wrong or if Rook was okay or not. Everyone stared intensely, not sure what to make of this them selves. The Drones that were activated also stared and waited. With out a any orders they weren't allowed to make a move. They could only wait and do nothing, until they get an order saying other wise.

Suddenly Rook lean forward and pushed Tom with force, causing him to stumble backwards and slam his back against the locker loudly, louder then when Rook was shoved into the locker. Without even thinking about it, Tom leaped at Rook with his fist fully drawn back and ready to fight Rook. When Tom swung at him, Rook easily dodged the punch as he side stepped. He then grabbed the bullies extended arm and pull him closer. As quick as a flash, Rook launched an uppercut to Tom's face, slamming his fist into his jaw and causing his mouth to bleed instantly. The bully was flung back into the locker as blood flew out of his mouth and dripped from his mouth once he smacked into the lockers and hit the floor. The minions that were standing around around quickly took action and attacked Rook full force. Still wide eyed, Rook took action as well.

In a matter of minutes all of Tom's minions were laid out on the ground, passed out and bleeding from the mouth if Rook ever made contact with with face at all. The last one thought he could take Rook out with a sneak attack by attacking from behind him. The attacker shoved Rook into the locker face first with his hand gripping his head and the other pushing his back. Rook reacted before the attacker could even think of any, spinning around while swatting away the attackers arms. He then slams his fist into the guys face with such force that his mouth exploded with blood gushing out while flinging the guy towards the locker. Once the guy slammed into the lockers Rook was already in his face. He slammed his knee into the guys stomach then quickly slammed the same knee into his face when the guy was hunched over, causing more blood to spew out. The guys head banged against the locker hard as Rook swung his fist towards his face. The guy was rocketed to the right and slammed onto the floor with a slight skid.

...

...
...

"Dam it! What the hell is going on! I said keep it under control!! Just what the hell are you doing!" The standing being shouts in rage as he slammed his fist upon the part of the keyboard that bared no keys.

"But sir, that wasn't me. I didn't even finish putting in the activating code." The seated one replies rather quickly and in panic.

"I don't care what you didn't do but you better do something now! Extract Rage out of there and bring him home! NOW!" He replied with fury, almost wanting to shove the being out of the way and do it himself.

"Activating R-T Drones now!" And with that, he pushes one button and a sound rang out as more screens popped up in that gaped area of the computer. They displayed all the kids that were around who became serious suddenly and flashed their eyes light purple.

...
...
...
...

Suddenly, one of the Drones slugged a random person out of no where, causing them to hit the ground with a thud. Not even a moment when by when a second person was struck and slammed into the lockers. Two Drones started to fight each other when suddenly someone shouts loudly.

"Brawl Fight!" The person shouts which instantly created a massive fight break out between everyone and anyone. Three of the Drones focused on Rook and took action. The first one leaped towards him from the back and grabbed his shoulder while spinning him around. The Drone pounds his fist into Rook's face and launched him backwards, causing him to stumble towards another Drone. Spinning around to face the Drone, Rook quickly catches the punch it threw at him. He slammed his foot into the Drones chest with such force that in inside of the Drone exploded and was crushed by the force, making him realize that the person he just attacked wasn't human at all. Still, Rook's eyes didn't change from being wide eyed. He suddenly gets launched forward by a powerful kick to his back as another Drone leaped over the fallen and destroyed one. Once Rook and the Drone in front of him met in mid motion, the Drone slammed its foot into his face and swings it towards the locker which caused Rooks head to bang on the locker hard and create a dent in it. It then leaps back quickly as Rook swung a hard and powerful punch but missed.

The Drone that kick him in the back leaped at him from the side and slammed his knee dead on into his face, making him bang his head on the locker again. Not wasting any time, it quickly pounds its foot into his stomach to then quickly uppercut him into the locker once more. With out stopping it slams its fist into his chest, then into his face, then his chest once more, then his stomach, and back to his face for the last time. It continued to attack and finalized its combo by striking it foot upon his head with all its might and caused him to slam onto the floor with such force he bounced once before remaining still and motionless. Once it saw that Rook's eyes were closed, it grabbed him and lifted him onto his shoulder.

"Extracting Rage now." It spoke to no one it seemed and suddenly raced for the exit as a group of teachers were heading their way to break up the big brawl. Following the Drone that carried Rook was a female Drone carrying the destroyed one. Within seconds, the Drones were no where to be found and left with out a trace.

...
...
...
...

"Good. You know where to meet Mizraid." The seated one spoke while he looked at the screen. He sighs in relief as he typed in a few things which made Rook's vital signs disappear and the records of Rook as well.

"I want a full report of this Rin. And it better be a dam good one explaining what the hell went wrong." The standing being ordered with a stern and violent tone.

"Yes sir..." Was all he can reply with. He didn't look back at the being standing, he just kept his sights forward, knowing what might have caused this. But to him, he wasn't going to say a word until he was sure of himself. Something happen to Rook that wasn't his fault. Something else triggered him to act that way, and he was going to find out what did it, and why.

(again, errors and misspelled words, forgive me. Enjoy.)

Chapter 3: The Alternate

"Nothing went wrong... Everything was set... I didn't even activate Rage and he suddenly went haywire... I think this has to do with that unexpected scare I spotted on his chest." Rin thinks to himself as he watched the screen, looking at Rook sleep on his bed. Outside his house are a few R-T Drones, guarding him and keep watch. Two sat upon the roof of the house, while two more stood around the front yard, and two more in the back yard.

"He wasn't even all there... The way his face looked... It was blank, like if he was being controlled. This has never happened before... not to any of them... So why Rage? Why is he so important... Normally, they would have ordered to have him killed... I think their hiding something about Rage. Why else would they continue to make him our main focus?" He continues to ponder on the situation at hand. To him, nothing added up. He would have to wait and see for himself why Rook was so important, and what exactly happened to Rook that would make him act abnormal and violent.

"Sir, I've come back with the scan results of Code Name: Rage." Mizraids voice can be heard from behind Rin. As she talked, his focus was now on the conversation instead of the screen.

"Anything wrong, a malfunction of some kind, anything that would explain what I witnessed a few minutes ago?" The leader, who was also shouting at Rin when Rook flipped out, asked her with much concern and held a stern voice.

"All seems fine Sir. Though, I did pick up an unusual reading, but it only showed on the scan for a brief moment. After all, he was fighting R-T Drones and did manage to sustain minor injuries. Nothing I couldn't patch up quickly of course." She explained to him as a light shined from behind Rin, showing the scan results of Rook. It was hard to see from Rin's angel, with his head set forwards but his eyes wanting to look behind him.

"I see. Make note of is injuries and add them to his file. Also, I wont you to run a more advance scan tonight when you go back."

"I thought Orden and Kam were suppose to--"

"I'm sending you, Mizraid. After what he has just been through, he'll want someone he could trust. Perhaps he will even tell you what was going through his mind when it happened." The leader tells her as he closed the scan result. They began to talk some more when a suddenly alarm on the screen startled Rin to focus back on the screen. IN that gaped area, Rook's vital signs sprang up once more a the lines wavered differently then before. The leader and Mizraid quickly rushed behind Rin and peered into the screen.

"Whats going on! Whats happening!" The leader shouts in panic.

"I don't sir. Everything seems to be normal, but for some reason his vitals are off the chart. He still is sleeping and hasn't moved a an inch." Rin quickly replies back as he typed on the keyboard and looked at the screen, showing that Rook is still sleeping and not moving.

"Well something must be wrong! Wake him up!" He leader shouts as Rin begins to type quickly for a short while, then he looked at the screen.

"...He... He isn't responding..." Rin states as he typed some more to then look up at the screen again.

"Nothing... He wont respond!" Rin states again, trying to wake him up it seems.

"What do you mean he isn't responding! Make him respond! Send in the R-T Drones! Activate him! I don't care what you do, get Rage up on his feet!!" The leader shouts in anger as Rin typed quicker then before, looking at the screen as he typed and back the keyboard. Back and forth he switched his sights from the keyboard to the screen while typing quickly.

"I can't activate him! He isn't responding to anything! Anything I do doesn't work! I... I have no control over him!" Rin replies back with a concern tone, as if he knew the leader would grow more angry.

"Well do something!! Mizraid! Get down there and wake him up! Rin, send in the R-T Drones to back her up! Encase he decides to go ballistic again!" He shouts as Mizraid ran off into that darkness behind them while Rin began typing more. The leader suddenly gripped Rin's shoulder and glared at the screen.

"Wait!" He ordered as thy both looked intensely at the screen.

"He is waking up..." He adds, watching carefully, and ever so concern.

...
...
...
...

Rook suddenly flung up his eyes and stared at the ceiling. His eyes then flared a red color as his eyes began to narrow. A grin started to form upon his face as he stared more and his hands began to grip the bed sheets over him. He tossed them off of him and wiped them to side of his bed. Leaping off his bed as the bed sheets gently floated to the floor, he takes in a deep breath and lets it out slowly. His eyes were still red and his grin ever so evil. He quickly raced for his bed room door and down the hallway towards the exit of his house. he barged out the front door and leaped over the stairs that lead inside his house. Landing at the bottom of the small staircase, he looks up towards the sky and takes in another deep breath and lets it out slowly. Two R-T Drones land in front of him from the roof top and two more ran from the sides of his house, blocking him off it would. Eying the Drones with a sinister look, they begin to move in on him slowly, taking caution with each step they made.

"Hmp..." Rook uttered and suddenly squats down and rockets towards the sky, pushing himself off the ground with such a force that he exploded the grassy ground under his feet. High into the air he soared, going higher and higher, higher then the tree tops as he started to slow down. The R-T Drones watched in slight amazement as Rook suddenly stops in the middle of the air and stands there with nothing holding him up. Rook was standing on air, high above the drones with no machine to hold him up. He placed his hands in his pockets while closing his eyes as he let the cool breeze of the wind whip around him and toss his hair every which way. His eyes soon open as he heard the sounds of rocket boots it would seem. he looks in front of him ad sees the R-T Drones that were blocking him off before. They used some kind of rocket power that shot out from their boots to keep them floating in air, while Rook used nothing and stood still in the air, not even floating like they did.

He just smirked and reached into his back pocket, touching something cold, something metal. his smirk grew as he a thought entered in his mind. Pulling out his hand form his back pocket, he didn't have is pocket knife in hand.

"The point of this test..." Rook began as he looked over his shoulder and eyed the other R-T Drones behind him.

"Is to prove that it is unfair..." He adds as he redirected his attention to the Drones in front of him.

"Unfair for you, not me..." He finishes as his eyes flared more of a red color, focusing his all on the Drones ahead of him. He dashes forward in flight with speed he caused a sonic boom to echo loudly as he ripped through one of the Drones and keep flying pass the rest. The other Drones quickly began to follow him as the broken Drone falls to the ground in several pieces.

Rook zoomed high above the ground as he was being chased by the Drones. They raced over trees, cars, streets, stores, and buildings, they even passed by his school as he kept zooming towards a general location. Suddenly, Rook skids into a quick stop in the air and burst into flight back towards the Drones. Without a moment to react, Rook slammed his feet into one of them and rockets it backwards while causing it to explode in several pieces. The other Drones whizzed by him and quickly slow down to a stop and spun around to face Rook. Rook was already in front of one of the Drones by the time them spun around. He slammed his kneed into its face and ripped off its head with a powerful kick to the head. He then grabbed the headless Drone's arm and swung it around to slam into a attacking Drone behind him. The two Drones collide with force, causing them to explode as the last drone attacks from his right. He quickly swung his foot around and severed it head while flinging it in a random direction. He then slammed his foot upon it chest and rocket it backwards while causing it to explode as well. Now that he was free form being followed, he continued onward and flew towards his goal.

A few miles away from where he fought the Drones in the air, he skids to a stop in the air and stands high above a house. His evil grin had returned as he stares upon the house with his hands in his pockets. He then pulls out his right hand and extends it towards the house and aiming his palm towards it. A gust of wind swirled around Rook as a tented, yellow, see through sphere started to form in front of his palm, aimed at the house. It swirled and grew bigger with each second, bigger then his own hand as the wind picked up and swirled around him with force and power. It stopped growing as his eyes started to glow a red color, eying the house as the swirling wind of power from the sphere whirled around him and waved his cloths and hair about. He suddenly launched the sphere from his palm and sends it whirling towards the house at a stead speed. It passed through the house and hits the ground, creating a booming sound as it touched the ground. Suddenly, the sphere started to grow and cover toe entire house in the see through tented sphere, like a giant yellowish bubble.

He suddenly drops down towards the bubble, feet first and passes though it as he lands gently on the road that leads into the house's drive way. He looks at the front yard and some flowers planted around the house. The flowers in side of the bubble weren't even bloomed yet, and seemed to be more healthier. The grass in the bubble was longer then the grass out side the bubble. The trees in the bubble were shorter then the ones out side the bubble. Rook reached his hand into his back pocket and flared his red eyes more then before. He made his way up the driveway to an open garage with some music playing form inside. There was a car that looked to be just washed with its hood open. As Rook walked inside the garage, an older male then Rook lifted his head up from looking inside the hood of the car.

"...Rook?... Weren't you inside with my sister?" The male asked slightly confused.

"... I am..." He replies with a smirk as he opened the door leading inside the house. The male just shrugged and continued what he was doing as Rook entered into the house. He made his way towards a door as he passed a staircase leading up stairs. He opened the door and stared upon a staircase leading to a finished basement. he suddenly leaps down the flight of stairs and lands with a stomp as he rose to his full height. He heard a gasp from behind the staircase which made him walk to his right from the bottom of the stairs and look towards the couch. There was a girl with red and brown hair wearing a bra and jeans as she sat on top of a boy. The boy sat up quickly a she held her and turned his head to meet Rook's eyes. The boy's eyes widen as he looked upon Rook. It was Rook! The wide eyed boy was in fact Rook with slightly shorter hair and looked a little younger. His eyes couldn't believe what he was seeing, how can he be looking upon a slightly older version himself?

The boy quickly stood up as he shoved the girl off of him and stared. He took two slow steps towards Rook before he quickly stopped as his eyes fixed upon something. Rook was holding his pocket knife in his hand with an evil and sinister grin. In a flash, Rook leaped towards his younger self and ripped open his chest with a quick, strong, and upward diagonal stroke of his pocket knife, causing a massive amount of blood to gush out as the girl screamed in horror. The boy jerked his head back as he crashes into a small table in the middle of the room breaks it completely, bleeding from his chest at an alarming rate. Rook then sets his sights upon the girl who was slightly covered in blood. Tears flowed from her eyes as Rook glared into hers. She didn't move, she didn't scream, she just sat there, covering her self with her arms as if her arms would protect her from Rook.

"Hey!! Whats going on!" The male from before quickly raced down from stairs and turned to face the couch. His jaw dropped as he studied the scene. There was blood on the walls, on the couch, and on the floor. His sister was sitting in the middle of the couch in the middle of the room. She was centered in this scene, also covered with some blood. Rook and his younger brother were gone. Her brother couldn't utter a word, and neither could she.

...
...
...
...

"Rin!! Send out 20 Drones!! I don't care what you do! Bring back Rage!" The leader shouts with anger as they watched Rook destroy the Drones with ease and keep heading on his way. Rin quickly types as they watch Rook stop above a house and shoot out a sphere upon the house. They watched the sphere create a bubble around the house as Rin stopped typing.

"Sir... That is a time bubble." Rin tells him with concern and confusion.

"We never installed a time bubble generator in Rage." Mizraid adds as she watched the screen.

"Then were the hell did he learn to do that! This is getting out of hand Rin. Send in Meta-13!"

"But sir we--"

"I said do it!! Don't question me or any of my orders again!!"

"Right... Sorry sir, it won't happen again." Rin replies as he stroked in some keys and soon watched the screen. As they watched Rook enter the garage, a pod explodes out of the sky, coming out of nowhere it would seem. It crashes onto the road that leads into the drive. The pod door burst open and out stepped a male that was the same age as Rook with jet black long hair that was in thick braids. His skin color was a dark tan as his eyes were dark green. He was well built and wore black and blue with some white. A scream could be heard from inside the house which caused him to dash forward and head into the garage. The pod suddenly explodes and turned into ashes that was swept away by the wind.

"I'm inside." A voice comes through the computer.

"Whats your status? What has happen to Rook?" Rin asked as they watched, looking at the house as if they couldn't see inside the house. M-13 Walks pass the staircase Rook walked by and quickly spots the open door leading into the basement. He slowly moves towards the door and peers down the steps to see if anyone was there. Slowly he moved down the stairs and reached the bottom. He peeks his head out the corner and sees the girl with her brother holding her tightly as he rocked her in his arms while she cried.

"There is blood... Lots of blood... Its Rooks blood, but not the Rook we know." M-13 tells them as his eyes changes different colors, scanning and analyzing the scene.

"He attacked himself... But why?... Why would he go back in time to attack himself?" Rin asked no one in general.

"I see some bloody foot prints leading to the side door of the basement... What should you have me do?" He asked Rin and waited for a reply as he studied the scene more.

"What is he thinking?... We need to get him back Rin... Where would he go, why take the dead body with him, assuming he killed himself..." The leader asked frustrated. The leader rubs his forehead as he begins to think.

"M-13... I want you to preform a Wipe... Make them think it was a bad dream... If Rage was going to kill himself in the past, then he would know to take his place in order to keep things balance... He is on a mission... He wouldn't go through on this trouble just to kill himself... He is after something, we just need to figure out what and why... 13, where in Rage's time line are you?"

"Judging by the books on the couch and the ones under the smashed table... We never met him before. In about a half of a month you'll preform your first installment on him."

"Is that so... At least we don't have to worry about meeting ourselves... This means he'll be in high school then... You have all his data in this time period already, so attend on his classes and follow him closely. In about 10 minutes that time bubble will close and you'll lose all communications... I'm trusting that you'll have him back in our hands soon 13... Don't make me wait..." The leader tells 13 as he stared intensely at the screen.

"Code Name: Rage will be in your hands soon enough." 13 replies back as he steps out from behind the stairs and fixed his eyes upon the girl and er brother.

The leader sighs as he lowered his head in frustration at this turn of events. He then looks upon Rin as Rin looked back at him.

"I want all video panel recordings of Rage, every single one, form the moment he wakes up to the moment we begun the advancements. I want it all sent to my desk and dated... Mizraid, come with me please." After those words Rin begun typing away as Mizraid followed him out to discuss more about Rage's case.

Chapter 3 part 2: The Alternate

The Next Day

Morning hard already struck. Buses were pulling into schools filled with kids as some kids tiredly walked to school being that their homes were next to the school. Soon, the school halls are crowed and filled with chatter as the students hurry to class or linger around the classroom door until the bell rang. Some kids talked in side the classroom or talked to the teacher, if the teacher was present at the time. Though most of the students seemed annoyed by the everyday school hassle, one girl would seem more disturbed then annoyed. She walks from her locker in deep thought, letting her feet guide her to her class while her mind was else where. She soon arrives at her class and heads towards her seat. Her eyes, for what ever reason, looked towards the corner of the class where a boy sat. She stops for moment, as she didn't recognize this boy. Continuing on her path to her seat she finally sits down next to her friend but keeps her focus on that boy.

"Hey Milly, who is the kid?" She asked, not taking her eyes off him.

"New kid?... Oh him, he isn't new, he just switched classes." Her friend replied as she looked away from the boy.

"I think I've seen him before."

"Maybe in the hallways when you were going to another class or something."

"Maybe..." She replies, though that wasn't what she meant.

"I don't know why your interested in him, you already got Rook all over you." Her friend teased with a short giggle. The girl suddenly became wide eyed as her mind began to race with the images of Rook killing his younger self.

"Yea... Your right..." Her response was slightly delayed because of her so called dream she was thinking about. The bell suddenly rung which grabbed the girls attention and drew her focus off of the new boy.

"Alright class, lets begin." The teacher soon announces as the girl looked at an empty seat. She stared upon it for a short while before focusing her attention on the teacher. As soon as the teacher was about open up his mouth, the sound of the door opening interrupted, causing the whole class including the teacher to look at the opening door. Soon, Rook stepped into the class as everyone focused on him.

"Oh Rook, just in time." The teacher tells him with a smile. The girl that asked about the new kid was in shock and speechless. Her mouth hung slightly open as her wide eyes slowly became watery.

"It wasn't a dream... It was... real..." She tells her self in her mind, now more frighten then shocked.

"is it just me, or does Rook look a lot older? I mean, look at his hair." Her friend whispered to her, but her words never entered into her ears. She was in shock from fright as Rook started to scan the classroom. Suddenly, his eyes fixed upon her and she slightly gasped in fear, letting a tear drop roll down her cheek.

"Hey Caralie, are you okay?" Her friend asked, leaning towards her as she saw another tear drop roll down her cheek. Rook then took a step towards her and Caralie quickly put her head down on her desk with her arms wrapped around her face, hiding it would seem. His foot steps drew near, louder and louder as more tears began to flow from her frighten eyes. Her heart was racing, pounding against her chest so hard that she thought the whole class could hear it. Her heart soon skipped a beat as the foot steps quickly stopped. She felt Rook's presences right in front of her and her heart seemed to stop beating for a moment. She slowly lifted her head up and meet with Rooks eyes. More fear entered as she looked upon him. In this moment, everything seemed to be not there, the classroom, the teacher, the students, even her friend next to her were all absent in this moment. It was just her, her chair, the desk she leaned on, and him. Her mind raced with countless of actions she could do, countless of words she could say, but the fear in her was too strong for her to even attempt to say or do anything. Her eyes suddenly noticed Rook's hand moving towards the back of his pocket.

"Why do you even carry it around?"

"Its not a weapon Caralie, its a tool. I always keep it in my back pocket."


She remembered her conversation with Rook about his pocket knife and soon had a flashback of Rook slicing open the younger version of himself, cutting his chest wide open and making him crash onto the table. Realizing what he was now reaching for, she became more afraid then she was. Her mind raced with endless thoughts, endless words such as murder, kill, and dieing. Her thought was that she was about to die, just like she watched younger Rook die. Soon, it dawned on her, a sensation that started to rise and would soon reach her vocal cords, turning this feeling into a frighten scream of help. Just as she opened her mouth in this frighting and slow moving moment, another voice blared into her ears which shatter this moment and threw everything into reality.

"RAAHHH!!" A voice shouts from behind her as the new boy she pointed out flew over her with a strong fist at the ready. Rook leaps back and slides towards the teacher, spinning around and leaping towards him. With a quick stroke, he pulled out his pocket knife and silent the teachers throat while grabbing his shirt and pushing him against the chalkboard. Blood splattered across the chalkboard as Rook griped the teacher tightly by the throat. He soon flung the teacher with ease towards his attacker. Screams and shouts can be heard as she teacher soared through the air, spilling more blood as the new boy kidded the teacher to the side, causing the corpse to slid across the floor while panting the floor he slid on red. The boy's eye soon changed different colors before it settled into a green color. This thick braided, tan skin boy was indeed H-13. He formed a high tech alien looking sword from thin air and gripped the hilt of it tightly while pointing the blade at Rook. Smirking, Rook twirled his pocket knife in his hand as it started to form into a short alien sword like weapon. The other students were speechless as they watched the two face off, staring upon each other intensely.

"What are you doing here Rook?" 13 finally speaks out after the long silence.

"The purpose of this test, is to prove that it is unfair." Rook simply replies while titling his head slightly. Not sure how to take that answer, 13 twirled his sword once in his hand, stating he would attack attack at any moment. As 13 began to think how he would attack 13 while keeping anyone else from dieing, the fire alarm ring out, causing a few kids to jump from the loud ring. The students looked at Rook and 13, as if waiting for permission to be let out of the room to head out side, which was what they did when the fire alarm came on. It wasn't long before students from the hallway started to pass the classroom, some of them looked in for a moment while others didn't. The students voice were muffled and hard to make out what any of them were say, not to mention there was multiple students talking at the same time. Though it would be hard to hear anyone of the students out in hall, one of the voices came through clearly.

"Mrs. Gladly. I think theres something going on in Mr. Tucks room." Rook's eyes shifted to the side for a moment as the kids voice came through the door above the other students voices. Quickly fixing his eyes back upon 13, Rook smirks as he took a step back towards the door. 13 narrowed his eyes as his grip upon the hilt of his sword became tighter. He could do a number of things and there wasn't enough time to decided which was the best action to preform. The teachers voice that the student called for was now nearing the door. Knowing Rook would open it 13 had the act quickly. Rook took another step towards the door which caused 13 to follow, taking a step towards Rook. The teacher opened the door and took a step in. Like a powerful rush of wind, the teacher was launched back up against the wall in the hallway. Her eyes filled with shock and pain as her mouth hung open but with not breath coming forth. A delayed slashing sound was heard as 13 soon dashes out of the room with such speed that he knocked a kid up against the wall with force. Down the hall Rook raced with 13 behind him, weaving in and out of the students as they headed for the exit. The exit doors soon fling off their hinges and slide across the ground as Rook and 13 race out of the building. 13 leaps at Rook as Rook spins around and catches his sword with his short sword in mid air. They both land on their feet, still swords locked in a hold as they slide a few feet before Rook lashes out a kick to 13's head. Seeing the incoming kick 13 breaks the hold and leaps back as his foot grazes his face. As 13 slides into a fighting position Rook attacks with a downward slash, which was quickly blocked off by 13.

Back and forth the two fight using their weapons, feet, and fist. They moved all about, carrying their battle from the ground to the air and back to the ground. They were in the back of the school were some woods are that leads to river, which then leads to more woods and soon a road that leads into town. Finally, Rook manage to land a hit with his foot and launched 13 backwards and into a roll. 13 managed to pop up back on his feet and ready to attack. Rook wasn't present though, he was quickly spotted racing through the woods, heading towards the road it seems. 13 remained still for a moment as he kept his eyes on Rook. He then stands up straight and out of his fighting position while closing his eyes. Two auras, a white one and a blue one, soon surround 13 as he remained still, feet together and hands at his side with his sword in hand. The aura suddenly vanished as 13 opened his eyes. Then, 13 suddenly vanishes from sight. moments later 13 appears in front of Rook in a blue flash of light which causes Rook to slide to a halt and cover his eyes. He was suddenly bashed by a blue ray like slash attack which launched him backwards into a white glowing warp like object. Not a moment later, Rook burst out of thin air high above a canyon and starts to descend towards it. As Rook hit the ground 13 burst out of the same spot in the air as Rook did. Landing next to Rook who was slowly rising to his feet, 13 readies his blade and slides his feet into a fighting stance.

Rook, having fully rise to his full height, narrowed his eyes upon 13 with anger. Making a quick trust of his short sword forward it appeared like he stabbed something or was forming something from his sword. White rings, like ripples in the water, came form from the tip of sword and opened up the same white warp they both went through. He leaps into the warp and disappears into. 13 was confused for a moment but quickly snapped out of it and chased after him by leaping into the warp as well. Once he got through he was greeted with a violent energy slash that covered him completely while launching him back into the warp and shattering it. He slides across the sandy floor paralyzed it seems as white electricity sparked from him every now and then. Rook soon walks towards him slowly, knowing he couldn't move form his attack. Twirling his short sword once he glares 13 with anger as 13 glared back, struggling to break free of this paralyzed state he is in. As Rook lifted hos sword upward and readies to drive it through 13's head, 13 struggles to form a smirk upon his face. Rook noticed the smirk and titled his head confused. He then heard a sound coming from inside 13, like a powerful machine charging up. Realizing what that sound was he tries to end 13's attack but was too late. A loud and large blast erupted from within 13 and caused a massive boom which launched Rook several feet back, making him hit the sandy ground with force that he dug a few inches into the sand as it kicked up and covered him on the way back down. 13's body smoked lightly as he remained still while Rook was covered in sand and also unable to move with his eyes shut. The people at the beach, which is where they happened to warp to, stared in awe and confusion. Some people whispered to another while others just stared. A few people started to move towards them slowly and cautiously. It was hard to tell what happen and which one of them were alive.

After several moments passed by, Rooks arm burst out of the little sand that covered him and stretched upwards as his palm aimed at the sky. A small green sphere soon forms above his hand and quickly rushed into his body, coloring his skin a shiny green color for a moment. The color evaporates as his arm dropped back down upon the sand. A few seconds later he burst out of the sand and ascended high into the air before coming back down with a booming landing that kicked up some sand and made a small creator under his feet. Lifted his head to see 13 his eyes were a flaring red color. He soon walked towards the still smoking body of 13 and stops next to him. He peers into his still and lifeless green eyes for several moments, as if trying to see if 13 is out of commission or not. Satisfied with what he sees, he turns around and heads off from where he was laying before. He then stops and waved his hand in front of him slowly while forming the same bubble type material he used on the house to get into this time period, but instead of it being yellow it was blue. Once it was formed into a large rectangle that was bigger then him, he stepped through it and it instantly closed once he was through.

The blue see through rectangle appeared at the bottom of the school entrance where two police cars sat. Rook stepped through and it closed behind him. Before he could take another step a police officer jogged to one of the cars there holding a piece a paper as he headed for the driver side. Opening the driver door of the car he noticed Rook standing on the opposite side of the car. He scrunched his face and focused his as if trying to make out who Rook was. He then quickly looked at the piece of paper and became shocked. As soon as he darted hit eye upward to look at Rook, Rook was already in his face with his short sword at his throat. Slicing the officers throat while kicking him back, his partner was just around the corner and saw Rooks actions.

"Hey!! Put your hands in the--" Was all the other officer could spit out before Rooks short sword was speared into the guys head. Upon hitting the ground, Rook gripped the hilt of his weapon and pulled it out of his head. He then continued onward towards the entrance of the school where more police cars awaited.

Thanks once again, and here is the next part.

Chapter 3 part 3: The Alternate

The school was guarded by several police officers, even some swat teams were around. The ambulance was also there, as well some detectives. In all, the school turned into a crime scene and no one was allowed to leave. Not because they couldn't, but out of fear that they would end up like their teacher. The rest of the kids in school also had to stay, though most of them didn't know what was going on. Soon, word spread around through text messages about the situation. Fear soon filled the whole school. From room to room the detectives went with a swat team. But their main focus was the room Caralie and Milly were in, the same room where the teacher died in. Of course the kids couldn't stay there so they were moved to the auditorium where several more swat teams guarded them. Two men stood at the entrance of each door, and four more guarded where the kids were seating. They were all frighten, but none more then Caralie. In fact, it was her they were protecting most after she said that Rook had targeted her. Though, she left out the detail about him killing his younger version of himself. She thought telling they such a thing would only cause unbelief. At Caralie's side was her best friend Milly, also guarding her. Though Caralie wouldn't notice, Milly seemed to be surprisingly calm about the situation. She had an odd look in her eyes that Caralie seemed to ignore for the moment. At first she only took it as some form of anger for their teacher being killed.

As more swat teams arrive and several police men wait outside and discuss the situation, the school was being watched by unknown eyes from above. Three figures watched the commotion from the rooftop but manage to remain unseen by the police force. These three figures didn't seem all too human, as their eyes glowed a robotic red color as they scanned the scene below.

With out warning, gun shots were fired not too far from the right side of the school were a few police officers and two swat teams had parked their vehicles. The group of officers the three figures were watching quickly got on guard and raced over to that location as fast as they could. By the time they reach the area, the three figures were already there, studying the scene as they arrived. There was dead bodies scattered about with blood seeping out of their chest, necks, or head if they still had one on their dead shoulders. Some didn't have time to even get out the vehicles it seems, while other were thrown up against them or died upon them. The group of officers that arrived began to scan the bloody scene. And soon, they all reached for their guns as their eyes lay on Rook, holding his alien short sword in hand as he looked up to the sky.

"Drop your weapon!!" The leader of the group shouts as he cocked his gun back and aimed it at Rook. Some students inside the school watched the whole thing from the window and kept watching with horror written all over their faces.

"I said drop your weapon now!" The leader yells out with more anger and sternness. Rook finally made a reaction to his shouts by lowering his head to look at the ground. He then titled his head to their direction, showing them his abnormal red flaring eyes. The leader looked deep into Rooks eyes as he returned the stare with intensity. Sweats runs down the humans face as he held the gun tightly in his grasp, wanting to shoot but for some reason he can not. He is locked on this staring battle with Rook, looking deeper and deeper into Rooks eyes, as if caught in some kind of trance.

"She is in the auditorium, guarded by several swat members. Four guarding the children, two at each entrance and exit... There are four entrances and two exits behind the stage. Two more exits behind the booth." The leader suddenly spits out, unwilling to do so it seems. He soon shook his head and bit as he fell to his knees and grabbed his head with a slight grunt.

"Captain!" One of the other officers shout in shock.

"Take aim!" He soon shouts seeing his captain woozy and dizzy. Before he could give the order to fire, three figures drop down from rooftop and land a few feet in front of Rook in a crouched position. They were black aliens of some kind with long flowing red and gold hair. Each of them hand a headband with different symbols on it. Each symbol match the color of their outfits. Their cloths weren't too foreign from this world. It was a mix between Japanese kosode with a ninja like uniform. What made it look alien was the terming of the outfit, which glowed either a an alien blue, red, or green too match the symbol on their individual headbands. Two of them were males and the one in the middle was female. Once they all rose their their full height, they quickly form their long alien like katanas at the same time. Their eyes narrowed upon Rook, which also match their headband symbol color. With out waiting for any reaction from Rook, they quickly set themselves in their fighting stance and point their blades at Rook, ready to fight him to no end.

"You can not have her." The female speaks to Rook.

"We wont allow you to harm her." One of the males follow.

"Who has sent you?" The third finished, waiting for a reply from Rook. Rook only stares at them with his intense red eyes. He twirls his short sword once in is hand which causes the trio to become more on guard and ready to fight. He then opened his mouth and lipped synced something. Upon doing that, the woozy captain spoke what Rook mouthed.

"Fire." The captain mumbled, causing his team to look confused as they stared at him.

"I said fire damn it!" The captain shouts while holding his head still and looking at the ground. The team still wasn't sure if what to do.

"I said fire your damn weapon men!" He shouts louder, jerking his head in pain it seems. With it, his right hand man quickly fired, causing the rest of the team to follow his action. The alien trio quickly leaped high into the air to avoid the blazing bullets zooming towards. The female quickly lashed out her blade and caused it to extend like a wipe, racing towards the group of men firing their guns. Within seconds her wipe like alien blade sliced through the team and caused them to drop instantly upon contact. The only one remained was the captain, who was now laid out on the floor, passed out it seemed. Once the trio landed, they quickly fix their eyes on where Rook should have been standing. To their surprise he wasn't there. They scanned the area with their eyes, catching any tiny movements in order to spot where he might have gone. As they kept scanning for him, their ears caught an awkward sound that caused them to raise their sights to the sky. A blue sphere spiraled down towards them from Rook who was standing on air high above them. Without time to react, the sphere hits the ground and quickly grows into a bubble the size of a house, swallowing them whole and whatever else was in the way of the blue see through bubble. The bubble quickly shrinks into nothing as Rook watched and slowly descended to the ground in a falling motion. Once his feet gently touched the ground, he fixed his sights on the school again, as if looking into the auditorium through all the walls and door that are before him. After a quick pausing of mapping out the school in his mind, he set his foot forward and beings to make his way into the school were more swat team wait for him, as well as his target.

In the auditorium Caralie looks around in fear, scared for her life and wishing all of this would simply go away, wishing this was all a bad dream. She closes her eyes and sighs, almost crying as she has quick short breathes but soon recollects her self and opens her eyes again. With her eyes open she stared at Milly, who was now standing instead of seating down like she was just a second ago. She seemed focused, as if waiting for something to happen. Not only did this confuse her, it also brought more fear to her mind.

"Milly?" She calls to her as she scoots forward to the edge of her seat.

"Stay down Caralie, hes coming for you." She replied, striking more fear into her heart as her eyes widen in terror.

"But... but why... What does he want with me?" She asked her as a tear slipped out and rolled down her cheek.

"If what you told me is true, about Rook not being the Rook we know, then I'm sure what ever he wants from you he wont get." She replies with a determined voice. Caralie only looked more puzzled and frighten.

"What are you talking about Milly? Whats going on?" She asked, trying to wrap her mind the situation.

"HUAAAH!!" A loud cry of pain echoed through the wide opened large room. Milly quickly spins around to set her eyes on two swat members slamming onto the floor with blood spilling out the back of them. As they hit the ground, Rook could be seen standing over their corpse. She tightens her fist as the other swat members move towards Rook and take action.

"Everyone get down!!" One of them shouts as he aimed his assault rifle. In a blink of an eye Rook's short sword rips into the guys head and burst out the back as Rook appeaser behind him to catch his weapon. As he slides to a halt the guy falls onto his back dead, leaving Rook to continue his assault on the others. Soon, everything becomes a blur and hazy as guns fire and screams and shouts could be heard followed by the sounds of slashing and blood splattering. In a quick few moments, all the swat members are silenced and still, laying on their backs or stomachs, dead and not breathing. The kids have already ducked into their seats while some managed to crawl away in the mist of the quick fight. The few kids remaining try to not make a nose as they hold back their tears and try to calm their loud and race horse beating hearts. Caralie peaks her head out from behind her chair to see Rook standing over his last kill when she noticed Milly standing up right next to her.

"Milly! What are you doing, get down here or he'll see you!" She shouts in a whisper to her friend who seemed liked she ignoring her words.

"I want to be seen." Milly replies as she walks out into the aisle.

"Milly!" She shouts in fear, watching her friend walk towards Rook, who by now is looking upon Milly after he heard her name been called.

"From what I hear, you and me aren't that different." Milly soon speaks out to Rook which causes the other kids to poke their heads out to see what was happening.

"The difference between me and you, is that this fight will be unfair to you." He replies while twirling his short sword in one hand then switching his hands in mid twirl.

"And tell me, how is this 'unfair' to me?" She asked, stopping a few feet from Rook and cupping her hands together. In a quick second she forms an alien looking, two sided bladed sword in her grasp, to which the hilt is in the middle. She then breaks the hilt in half which formed two swords.

"The purpose of these test, is to prove that its unfair..." he replies in a robotic tone, as if that statement is lodge into his mind unwillingly. Milly reacts with a cocked eyebrow of confusion, then twirls her swords twice to rid her self of that last statement he just made.

"Unfair huh. Well I plan to prove it!" She comments back which brought no amusement to Rook at all.

"Before I end your life, why are focused on Caralie! What do you want with her!?" She asked, demanding a good response as she slashed her two swords in an X formation to express how serious she was. Rook, eyt again unamused by her actions, shakes his head slightly.

"My mission was never Caralie... It was you." He replies, causing her to take a step back out of confusion with her eyes filled with shock.

"Me?..." She questioned and now wondering what could he possibly want wit her. Then a thought entered into her mind, knowing he was mostly like sent by someone, she'll never get that answer from him at this moment. So she tightens her grip and readies her self for battle.

"I'm not going to let you have me with a fight." She adds with a stern and brave voice of confidence. Rook's only reply was twirling his short sword once then sliding his feet into his fighting position.

"You don't realize, this 'fight' is already over." He tells her in a different tone of voice, so different, it would seem it wasn't even him that was talking but something within him, the Rage within him, was now taking control.

Chapter 3 part 4: The Alternate

Rook's eyes began to flare a red color, like his iris were filled with flames inside, shining brightly as he glared into Milly's soul. His eyes pierced through her, allowing him to see the fear within her as she narrowed her eyes back at him in attempt to hide her fear. It wasn't long before Rook burst forward with such speed that Milly wasn't aware he moved into he was one foot away from her. With widen eyes she slightly leaps back as she swung her blade in defense against him, ready to swing her other sword on her hand. But of course, Rook was too quick for her as he cause both cybernetic blades to collide, blocking her first sword and within seconds blocked her second. Not only was he quick, but his might was great as well, almost knocking her second sword from her and causes her hand to shake violently as she gripped her knocked away sword. With that, he brings both knees to his chest and floats in mid air, still going towards her, and launched both feet upon her chest. With a quick yelp from the double kick she slides back in pain, eyes shut tight and a hint of blood upon her tongue. Coming to a stop from the powerful kick she bends one knee as if she was winded and needed to collapse. As she quickly regained her posture she tightens her hand around her two weapons, shocked and in fear but more angry that she is weaker then him.

"Damn it! What the hell is he!?" She questions angrily as Rook back flips into a crouching position where he kicked her away.

"Why me?... What the hell does he want with me!? How is he!? I can't loose to some nameless fool! I wont lose!!" She shouts on her mind, giving her self more strength to push on and give him a fight he'll never forget. Her strengthening thoughts soon escape her as she watched him lift his head up from its lowered state. His eyes now visible and striking fear into her heart as well as he body.

"Those eyes..." She comments with a feared thought.

"Could he be... one of them?" Her thoughts continue, trying to understand what exactly is Rook and what is he after. Before should could think of more questions Rook burst forward again, but this time she was more ready then before. Her timing was near perfect, her might was great, her determination was strong, and her focus was steadfast. But her heart was consumed with fear as she gazed into his fast approaching eyes. Narrowing her eyes and trying to muster as much strength as she could to kill this fear within her, she swings her sword as strong and fast as she could. Fighting the fear within her she leans into her swing, braving her move and making sure she gave it her all. One thing she was known for was he might and strength. They said that when her sword glows a light green color along with the iris's of her eyes, there was no stopping her attack, let alone moving out the... Her eyes were glowing along with her sword. This happened as he got within two feet form her. With a battle cry of her own she lets out a cry of power as she swung her sword hard towards Rook which was about to connect with him if he kept his same speed. With a final shout she slammed her sword forward as she finished her powerful swing upon Rook.

All was silent, no metals clashed together that would state he blocked her attack. All eyes that picked behind the chairs watched intensely, all of them had one expression on their faces, which was one of being shocked. As if time stood still for a moment, a sound would kill this frozen moment. It was a light patting sound, like if someone clapped their hands with something metal.

"That was it..." Rook suddenly comments as his head was lowered. Her eyes were widen and filled with such fear that they began to water and slightly tear. Her eyes glowed no more as well as her sword. In fact, her sword was caught in the grasp of Rook's bare left hand. He caught her powerful attack with his bare hand and only managed to get a small cut which trickled some blood at the side of his hand. His wound was nothing more then a simple scrape, nothing more and nothing less.

"I told you already." He tells her as he lifts his head up towards her, revealing his flaming eyes of fear.

"This 'fight' is already over." He finished, staring deep into her eyes as she stared back in horror. A tear escapes her eyes as her mouth hung open in frightening awe.

"Your... Your one of them..." She shakily states in a whisper to him. Her words didn't change his expression, which didn't tell her if he knew what she was talking about or not. He just stared at her with the same expression he had on since he arrived. He remained like this for several seconds which almost lead to several minutes, and would most likely feel like several minutes in that long pause. Breaking this paused moment, Rook snaps her blade in half by slicing it just below were his hand gripped her blade. With his arms crossed over one another from his move, Milly soon regained her self and saw the opportunity to strike with her other unbroken sword. She swings hard at his shoulder, hoping to weaken his sword baring arm. Her attack would only fail as he instantly swings his sword towards her attacking blade. With a loud clashing sound he knocks her sword form her hand, having it fly through the air while twirling and spinning out of control. Now, with both her arms to the side of her, one baring her broken sword and the other baring nothing, Rook quickly twirls the bladed part of her sword he broke off in his hand until the blade tip pointed downward like a knife would hold a knife. In a quick flash, he slashes a large X upon her and finished with a horizontal line in the middle of the large X gashes. With his last horizontal slash which lead his left hand that bared the broken blade extended to his left side, he thrust his sword in the center of the X like wound and forced his blade to pierce through her. Her eyes suddenly widen as more tears flowed from her eyes with mixed with the blood that was lightly splattered upon her face.

Her body jerked as he pulled out his short sword and caused her collapse to her knees, breathless and hanging onto her life by a thread. But her life was quickly ended as his knee rammed into her face, lifting her off her knees to only cause her to crash down upon the floor with a thud. Eyes closed and not moving, Rook walks to her lifeless body which was laying on her side. After shoving her on her back with his foot, he bends his knees in a squatting position as he looked upon the wounds on which he created upon. He placed his hand on the center where his blade stabbed into her. He closed his fist and slammed it into the center wound, spitting out some blood from her dead body as he moved his hands around in side her wound. Soon, he stops moving his hand and paused for a moment, as if touching something within her. With a quick jerk he pulls out a solid greenish orb which was covered in blood. As he held it, it began to glow which ate away at the blood covering it to fully make it visible.

Before he could examine the object more, a sound caught his attention which forced him to spin around to his left and caught a laser like bullet with his sword. Lowering his sword as his eyes narrowed, he rises from his squatting position to look at his attacker. A group of odd looking aliens that were wearing gold suits of some kind, most likely armored suites, stood before him with their alien like laser guns. Some of them bared plasma guns if lasers didn't cut it.

"By order of the Golden Squad District, you, a Rouge of UTAB are hear by to be killed if you do not comply to this arrest." The one in the middle tells him, aiming his laser targeted gun at his head. Rook only stared angrily at this interruption.

"Another test..." Rook states, which only drew confusion to the group.

"How am I suppose to advance if they keep becoming easier." He finished, twirling his short sword in front of him. This action only caused the group to become more on edge. From behind Rook, more GSD aliens sneak up behind him, all aiming their weapons at him. Knowing they were there, as well as the ones forming up to his right and those hiding to his left behind the chairs, he kept his focus on the group in front of him as he continued to twirl his short sword. By now, his weapon was glowing a bright red and seemed to expand, but to the foolish GSD it only looked like a trick of some kind. He soon stopped twirling his short sword in his hand and held it out towards them, blade pointing it his left. As the GSD were distracted with his sword twirling act, the orb he was holding with his other hand was gone, fused within in himself for safe keeping it would seem. In a blink of an eye, a large flash of light escaped his sword, launching a large red and gold energy ray like attack upon the group in front of them. All they could do was shout in horror as the attack slams into them and smashes them into the wall behind them, causing the wall to crumble some onto of their dead bodies. The other groups began to fire upon Rook with no success of even hitting him. With his great speed and power he begins his on slaughter upon the rest of the GSD aliens.

As Rook fights them off with ease, more seem to swarm him. A group bashes down on the doors near the chairs where the students were. As hey race for Rook they suddenly get swiped by three quick alien figures. The trio quickly kills them off and form up next to each other as they watch Rook fight.

"He wont escape us again." One of the males state.

"We'll end his life." The other male adds.

"No matter what the cost... We'll obtain the Live Might orb." The female states. These three were the same aliens Rook met in the parking lot, and they came back for revenge.

Thank you you two, I'm glad you two like this. Sorry for the delay but here is the next installment. Its slightly longer then the last few so I hope you don't mind.

Chapter 3 part 5: The Alternate

The three aliens watch Rook fight off the GSD members for moment. They each took one step when suddenly a light see through window appears in front of them, forming from the right to the left until the whole window was visible. Before any of them had a chance to react Meta burst out of the window while shattering it. He burst forward still in mid leap towards the middle alien. With his sword already drawn he swung his sword towards her in a vertical swing. His sword was blocked by her two long daggers which she managed to place in front of her just in time. Their weapons were only in a hold for a few seconds when a sudden roar of energy burst out of Meta's sword, launching her backwards and hitting her back against the wall. The other two aliens leaped towards Meta once the female fell to the ground. He quickly grabbed the arm of the male to the left of him and tossed him over his should into the other. They both collide and slide across the floor a bit before coming to a stop. The female had already gotten up by then and charged at Meta with fury. Like a flash of light, Meta's sword was thrust into the female's stomach which caused her great pain as while a bit of shock. Her mouth hung open as blood seeped onto the blade then dripped onto the floor. He quickly pulls out his sword and caused her to drop to floor rather quickly, spilling more blood as she rolled over on to her back. She watched as he stepped over her and walked towards the other two. Her eyes remained focused on the light bulb above her as she heard two slashing sounds and low grunts of pain, one after the other. Her eyes then closed as he pupils became very small. She leaned her head to the right as some blood dripped from her mouth. Meta soon fixed his eyes on Rook, watching him rid of the GSD members one at a time. He charged his blade, wrapping it in a white and light blue electric like energy that sparked every few seconds. He then leaps high into the air, Positioning himself above his target as he hovered in the air.

Laser like bullets blaze pass Rook as he ran towards a group of three GSD members. Four other members were dead around them and they were the last of that bunch. He darted for the middle one as fire upon him, missing him as he weaved in between the bullets with ease. Within seconds he was face to face with the middle member and popped his gun into the air with his right short sword while slicing his throat with his left short sword. The GSD member jerked his head back and gagged as Rook kicked the alien backwards with his left foot. He then quickly turns to his left and slices the other member's throat before he could even pull the trigger. The last of the three members turned as quickly as he could and tries to shoot Rook but misses as Rook was already in the air. He back flipped and kicked the dead aliens gun up into the air with the other gun he popped up earlier before the last one even pulled his trigger, making him shoot his own already dead member. Rook completed his back flip in the air and twirled his short swords in his hands as he floated in the air, slowly descending to the ground. He suddenly launched his short swords out and down which drove through two other members on each side of him. He then quickly grabs the two guns which were now in front of him spinning in the air, to only drop down and land behind the last of the three he charged. He dropped down so quickly last the alien didn't even hear Rook until he pulled the trigger and forced a laser bullet to sizzle through the aliens. More members started to charge him from all corners, but they all didn't even come within ten feet of him. Rook targeted all of them as he spun around once, then started firing the two guns with pure skill, catching each and everyone of his targets with a single shot to the heart or the head.

As he shot the last one he heard Meta and quickly tossed down the guns and formed a long green alien sword while spinning and looking at Meta dive down towards him. Meta came down fast and hard as he swung his sword and slammed it against Rook's sword. Once Meta planted his feet down on the floor they began to struggle for power over another as their swords were caught in a hold, grinding blade against blade as they glared into each others eyes. Everything seemed to settle down as they were locked in this hold, now footsteps of the GSD members, no kids screaming form the gun shots, nothing can be heard but the sound of their blades grinding on each other as they imply force on them. The kids slowly peeked their heads out from behind the chairs, focused on Rook and Meta and filled with fear. Caralie looked at them, slightly sobbing as she watched her best friend die before her eyes, to then watch as Rook ripped some kind of orb out of her. All the kids didn't know what to do, should they make a break for the exits, is it safe out there, what was going on and why now, who are these beings, and will this ever end? These were the questions that kept the kids from moving from were they were, afraid to even dial 911 on their cellphones. As the two fighters remained locked, the ceiling started to crack. Bits of dust dropped in the middle of the two, which drew their attention to the ceiling. The crack was starting to get bigger, as if something was trying break through. The tension between the two slowly eased as they watched the crack grew bigger and in a circle around them. Suddenly, large objects burst out of the ceiling and crash onto the floor with a loud metal stomp. The objects dropped one by one and surrounded both Rook and Meta, who were no longer in a hold as they threw their arms up to cover them selves form the debris and dust that came down. A light white smoke had gathered as the two of them focused on the objects that surrounded them. They were some type of machines, tucked away and folded in it would seem, as they looked like they were first in a pod like position for being transported and dropped off.

"Ranktens... But these are new modules. I've never seen these before... We can't possibly be int the pass if these are new Ranktens." Meta thought, looking at one of them as if studying them. The center of his pupil's turned red as he was looking at the Ranktens. In his sights a small red word flashes at the corner of his view, it read 'recording.' As he recorded the Ranktens and whatever he saw, he quickly focused on the one in front of him as he saw the eye of the machine slowly glow red while the core started to power power up. He then quickly looked at Rook, almost forgetting he was right next to him. To his surprise, Rook wasn't all there. He seemed to be staring off into space, not really focused on anything as his eyes were abnormally wide and he didn't blink. Meta narrowed his eyes confused and trying to figure out whats going on. He looks closer at Rook, looking deep into his eyes as Rook remained very still, he didn't even have his sword out. Meta's eyes slightly widen in shock as he narrowed in on Rook's eyes. Small green words were scrolling up his eyes as if his eyes were a computer. The words were either too small for Meta to make out or in a different alien language he couldn't read.

"What is going on? Rook isn't a cyborg, he doesn't have any type of robotic workings in him that would cause for such a thing to happen. How is this happening, and what exactly is happening to him. Is he receiving data on the new Ranktens?" Meta starts to think upon this, becoming very confused and lost as he had no idea what was going on, why Rook was here, where exactly here is, and what was happening at this very moment. Nothing seemed to add up. As he tried to think about this more, all of his questions were pushed to the side when the Ranktens started to transform, more like open up. They grew in height, standing about seven and a half feet tall. They had machine guns on each arm and two long and wide cyber swords that were bigger then both of them. Meta quickly got on guard but Rook remained still and didn't move. Hie eyes still showed the words scrolling up his eyes as he stared off into nothing. The Ranktens soon completed their transformation and aimed their guns at Rook and Meta, ready to unleash their laser bullets upon them and shred them to pieces.

"Hes going to die if I leave him, and I can not allow that." Meta thinks as he narrowed his eyes while sliding his feet a little, preparing to move. The Ranktens now focused on Meta, seeing as he was the only that moved. In a flash, Meta appeared in front of Rook and slams his knee into his stomach, causing him to gasp of air in pain. The wording in his eyes quickly vanished as Meta swung him around with his need still lodged into his stomach. Suddenly Meta surged massive energy into his leg and pounds a strong force of power into Rook, rocketing him into one of the Rankten while causing both him and the machine to crash through the auditorium wall and slam into the hallway wall. Rook flops to his hands and knees as the machine was lodged into the wall, forming a fairly large dent while cracking the wall. he machine twitched and sparked as Rook remained still and hunched over on his hands and knees. He was suddenly lifted off the ground by a knee to his face by Meta, causing him to slam his back into the machine. As he started to fall forward again Meta lands a hard right hook to his face which was followed by blood escaping his mouth. Meta then swings his right elbow back and pounds it into his face which force him to hit the ground to his left. Not waiting for a moment, Meta quickly grabs Rook and lifts him up, to only knee him in the stomach then quickly follow with a knees to his face. His head jerked back as more blood slipped from his mouth, but he was suddenly rocketed backwards as Meta slams a powerful and energy charged kick to his chest which sent him soaring above the ground. His back slams through the double doors that lead outside as he ripped them off the hings and kept soaring above the ground until his back hit the floor and caused him to skid into a stop. Before Meta could take another step two Rankten crashed through the wall and slid in front of him while two more bashed through the wall behind him, blocking him off from Rook. Meta starts to fight them off, wanting to rid of them as fast as he could so he could collect Rook and leave.

Rook lay there almost lifeless as he didn't move. His eyes were closed and his chest didn't move up and down. He looked to be dead, but a sudden and small sigh released from him. His hand twitched a few times before tightening into a tight fist. He slowly sits up with his eyes still closed as he grabbed his head and winced in pain. It was like he had forgotten what just happened or didn't know what was going on. like waking up from a bad dream that gave you a headache. He slowly tries to stand as he went onto his knees and gripped his head tighter, moving slowly and painfully. He soon leans forward and planed on hand on the ground as he held his head with the other one. He shook his head lightly as he winced again, trying to escape the pain or lessen it some how. Suddenly his eyes flung open and flared a red color as he looked at the ground. His whole expression changed as he let go of his head and placed it on the ground with the other. Meta quickly appears and tried to kick Rook in the face to lift him off the ground, but to his surprise Rook pushed himself off the floor and placed his hands on the android's leg. He used his leg like a lever and pushed off of it, leaping backwards and sliding a bit on his feet before stopping a few feet away from Meta. Rook had his head lowered as Meta quickly got into his fighting position. Though he was an android, he was now set in fear. His robotic body didn't say so, but the calculations of him surviving was slim to known. He has known Rook for a very long time, and he knows when Rook was in his 'Rage' Mode. And right now, Rook was fired up and ready to kill whatever was in his path.

Rook's fist tighten suddenly which caused Meta to tense up. He suddenly jerked his head back and roars out a mighty battle cry which echoed through out the sky, shaking the very core within Meta. Once he finished his battle cry of power he brought his head down as if he was looking at the ground again. He then stretched his right hand out and formed a red alien sword that swirled with a red and gold like fire. The android narrowed his eyes in shock, as if he was never seen that sword throughout Rook's training and advancements. Rook soon lifts his head up quickly and pieced through Meta's core with his now solid red glowing eyes. He burst forward with might and speed that the pavement cracked and caved in under the power of his burst forward. In a flash Rook swung his sword down upon Meta, which Meta caught using his own sword, but the power of his swing exploded with such force when the two blades collided that Meta was rocketed back and through the doorway leading into the building. He soared above the ground and soon heard two Ranktens drop down behind him. In the nick of time he quickly swung his legs around and planted them onto the robots metal plated chest to stop himself from smacking into the robot and going any further. However that wasn't good enough as the metal plates dented while it was launched back crushed cause of the momentum and force of Rook's swing that sent him rocketing. It was like Meta transferred the momentum into the machine as parts of it flew everywhere when he impacted the robot with his feet, dropping to the ground rather quickly as the machine collided into the other one behind it, which lead to both machines crashing into the wall further down.

Meta's sensors soon kicked in as he heard Rook gunning for him in flight, racing with massive speed. He quickly spun around and throw up his sword to defend himself once again as Rook meet him and slammed his sword upon his once again, doing the same as last time and sending Meta rocketing backwards with force. Meta soon smacks into the two banged up Ranktens hard as more parts explode of out them form the force of him smacking into them. This also made the dent in the wall larger as well as the cracks. As Meta started to fall forward Rook's blade burst out of his back, causing his inner parts to rip and fling out through the sword opening as well as blood. The sword was quickly pulled out as Rook's knee rammed into his face which straighten him up. Rook then grips Meta's throat tightly while slamming him into the two broken Rankten's, making the dent bigger and more robot parts fling out. he started to tighten his grip as Meta's core struggled to keep running, trying to keep him alive like a heart would try to keep beating. His grip tighten and tighten as he twirled his sword, breaking the robotic parts in his beck as cracking and snapping sounds can be heard the tighter he squeezed. He soon stopped twirling his sword and glared upon Meta with his glowing red eyes of fire and rage. He was inches away from severing his head off when he heard more Ranktens drop down behind him and aim their guns. He quickly released the android and burst in flight towards the machines while twirling his sword.

As Meta dropped to the floor in a sitting position the Rantens began to open fire, missing him as he weaved in and out of the bullets. But soon, Rook started to twirl his sword so fast that it looked like a flaming orb, which quickly spread through out his body like an outer armor that wasn't really touching his skin. He blazed right through the first Rankten, splitting it in half as he also scorched it. He quickly swings his sword upward diagonally and severed the second one in half, blazing right through the opening of the robot as he sped towards the next. He swings a horizontal slash which split the third robot in half, causing the top to fly over his head as he blazed on by, targeting the next four or five. Soon, five more dropped down and lined up next to the other, making it hard to just slice threw one and keep going. Upon seeing this his rage grows as he slams his feet on the ground and slides to a halt. He quickly channeled all his energy into his sword, even the flaming aura which flared up his sword even more. He then burst forward again, charging his sword as they started to fire upon him. He ran on the wall, jumps off and runs of the other one, leaps back the other wall then finally hops onto the floor and dashes for them. Once he got to the first two he leaps into the air and swung his sword down vertically and slams it on the ground. A large fire like energy explodes form his sword and rockets forward which breaks up into several different slashes, slicing the robots several times as it passes through them and explodes into a burst of fire once it reached out side. As the robots topple over, twitching and sparking, Rook's eyes were normal once more. He started to look around, making sure each and every single one was down and destroyed.

Suddenly, Rook became wide eyed as a blue solid beam surged through his back, through his heart, and out of his chest. However, the beam didn't keep going. It stopped a few inched in front of him and quickly expanded to the length of his body. It soon latches on to him and forms on top of his body and completely covers. An electric coat covered it, as if paralyzing him. Once the beam, which turned into some type of paralyzing coat, wrapped around him he dropped to his knees still wide eyed. He then leans forward and fall on the side of his face as his sword explodes into flames next to him then fades into nothing. Meta had his right hand extended towards Rook with his index finger and middle finger together, pointing towards Rook as they lightly smoked. His left hand was covering the sword wound he received, trying to keep himself alive for a bit longer. He then slowly reached with his right hand and grabbed a wrist band device on his left writs. He snaps the top open and pushed a button which made the device beep softly and blink a red light. He then dropped his hands weakly as he looked at Rook, seeing him covered in the paralyzing energy field. The little 'recording' word at the right corner of his sight soon stopped blinking as a small clicking sound was heard. His eye became very still as his power core stopped running. He was very still, they both were, surrounded by broken Ranktens and pieces of debris form the walls and robots.

All the students would have left by now, but only one staid. Caralie walked out of the auditorium doors and into the hallway where the fight took place. She was lightly sobbing, dried up tears and makeup on her face. She walked a little bit towards Rook but stopped when a piece of scorched metal crunched under her foot. She looked down at if for a moment, then back up at Rook. She looks all around her, trying to take everything in. She looked at Meta for a moment, studying the scene by him before returning her sights back on Rook. She cupped her hands as a tear escaped her left.

"What happened?" She thought, feeling lost and hopeless. She had no one now, not her best friend or her boyfriend. She just stood there, in the middle of the end, in the middle of the finished battle that was fought.
