The darkness embraces itself onto Shen, it's cold and heavy feel on shen's skin. Two eyes peeled open- frozen, still and keen. The metallic bars caging not a beast but a young teen.
The moon shines as it stabs the darkness revealing half of the boy. His eyes fixated on the book. Suddenly a long black shadow appears reaching shen's cell.
He advanced towards shen's cell, his movements were more robotic than human. He stood against shen's cell. The bulltroyy soldier was completely black all over. He opened his mouth letting out a cold breath.
04.
Stand ready.
Your next mission is about to start, said the soldier his voice sounding lifeless.
He turned to the entrance and began walking, his steps had no sound just perfection. His boots were synchronized with the floor connecting flawlessly. The faint smell of his clothing was like dry paint. Before long the soldier was gone and shen's eyes finally twitched at least 3x.
Some joints of his body took time staying stiff making movement hard. Eventually some time he was able to move freely like a bed spring. He closed The book. A halo of irritation was on top of him, then a surge of anger bursted out of him like a volcano. He wonders why they disturbed him when he was reaching a good part of the story but the same couldn't be said for magic. Just the mere thought of it would make him sneer.
"Hope I meet an elf one day."
He opens his mouth wide like a pot, while his tears fall like a unclosed tap as it releases small droplets of water. He stretches his limbs north to south and east to west, his posture looking closely like a small hill.
"Up and at'em Shen. You've got a new mission on the horizon", said Shen as his face wore the need of sleep.
The edge of his eyes welded with sand as he uses his fingers like toothpicks to remove them. As he's about to move forward to the entrance he gets hit with a strong wave of cold air like a truck. He exits his cell walking out of the room like a baby crawling out of a hole. He stops outside the entrance and turns his head up looking into multiple lines of linear wash from beginning to end of the base.
"If only I witnessed the real thing", said Shen, a sound of longing.
Something caught his attention on the floor and lazily looked down. He noticed his Dark, blue-to-pink gradient punk shoes were beeping red between both sides of his ankle like converse all stars but without the red beeping. He then squat down like his ancestors(apes) and tapped on both of his lateral ankle pressing on the beeps which went black. He then stood up standing straight like a pole, with a smirk on his face.
"Still got it."
After a moment of himself he opens his eyes as he witnesses the busy noisy life of the base. The Bulltroyy base brimmed with loud noises as busy as a Monday. He smelt the metallic from the machines and gears, the gasoline for fuel and tuning and the bad smell on every adult male including their socks and boots. But he also witnessed, heard and smelt the strange things the base always brought in. Shen stepped one foot out and continued onward to his destination. As he was walking he noticed a group of low class Bulltroyy soldiers talking to each other.
"Why are we still working here?"
"Because we need to be responsible with our actions."
"What you mean actions! You're the one who couldn't control your carrot plus she told you to release it outside not inside idiot."
"Says the guy who mysteriously impregnated a nun. Hmm I do wonder how?"
"Touche bro touche."
Shen was amazed after hearing such squabble between two irresponsible men who are trying to be responsible.
"No wonder they're low-class soldiers.", said Shen with a look of pity.
Suddenly he crossed paths with a huge cargo containing something. It's's growls was as loud as a T-rex and the cargo's size to contain such a thing was equivalent to a two-story building. Then Shen met an old face looking at him with such desire.
Oh... Shen. How's life been treating yah?, said the scientist with a dirty smirk on his face.
Nothing much just the usual, he replied like he was unfazed with the convo.
You know you're always welcome to come back to my lab, said the scientist.
I even forgot about your lab I thought what I heard was true. Oh well whether it's true or not I couldn't give a drop of interest to come back to your lab, said shen as he was playing with him coldly.
Anyway not so nice meeting you doc. Hope you don't get what you're looking for, said Shen
Shen left the scene with little to no care about what just happened while the scientist smiled while grinding his teeth on each other and giving a long last glance to Shen as he walks further and further away.
"That lovely brat, his style is still as interesting as ever and not to mention his black tracksuit, red shirt and his favourite white purple-lined jacket. So yooouuu Indeed.", said the scientist with a satisfied look on his face.
Shen continues on to his destination moving forward like the wind and his legs advancing like a lion heading to it's opponent. Suddenly he senses something is off! ...especially in the area he was passing. Soon he started noticing a lot of people going the opposite direction but there was something weird about them.
They kept on looking at Shen with eyes of disgrace and disgust. It's as if Shen was walking in the hall of shame being watched by a million eyes striking you with the most ugliest stare imaginable. But somehow Shen knew he had worse times than that and to him it seemed like a rat biting off one of his fingers but the only difference is Shen is able to grow back his fingers. He decided to shrug it off his back ignoring those who gave him such a look.
"Man I wish I was able to die peacefully."
As Shen moves forward closer and closer to his destination he suddenly gets met with an attack that felt like being hit by a brick. He flew across the hallway like a C-shaped dolphin and his blood spurt out of his nose like someone spilling water out from the cup. His landing spoke even worse than his injuries, like a huge luggage thrown from afar and when it lands it makes a huge echo sound in the room.
Oh shit.
Damn.
Sucker punched?
In the middle of nowhere.
Huh?
He stayed in that position not moving any muscle but his head. Looking left and right but saw nothing. He was pissed but not enough to make him jump and scream. He just stayed there sighing to the view on the ceiling of the base. Surprisingly a mascot appeared Infront of him and gazed at his still body. Eventually Shen noticed it, he then struck his eyes down past his cheeks to get a better view at the mascot. The mascot then walked towards Shen and widened its legs and sat on his private part.
So what are you?
Father Christmas!, Asked Shen, his look forming no interest.
The mascot removed it's head revealing it's identity. Natasha smiled as happy as a Thanksgiving chicken while pressing her hands on his chest and moving her hips on his groin.
We meet again.
White Latino, said Natasha with a mischievous smile on her face.
Shen didn't seem impressed rather his face resembled a sad cat that didn't get what it wanted.
Can you please get off me?, said shen with a almost embarrassed face.
Why?, Natasha replied with a smirk on her face.
You know why! You're in the wrong place in the wrong position, shouted Shen with an irritated look glued on his face.
Oh come on! Let me rest here a little longer please, pleaded Natasha as she displayed puppy eyes.
You know you're older than me about 5 years ahead and right now you're violating my space, replied Shen whose face started to grow weary like a tired old man.
Okay Latino boy, you win this round but next time you won't be so merciful, responded Natasha with a scheming glee unable to be read.
She got up and walked away and it seemed she was going the same destination Shen was heading. Shen breathes his relief out like a teapot after it's longed boiled.
"At least they are moments like these that don't come around often. Let me just be grateful.", said Shen Feeling heavy like a rock.
He stood back up as straight as a tree and continued marching to his destination while feeling like something was on his back. Eventually he saw Natasha at the meeting point like a predator Spotting it's enemy. He obviously wasn't pleased but rather worried of how to avoid or ignore such a force of nature. Soon he reached the meeting point with his arms fold and eyes were closed.
Latinooo why are you ignoring me?, she asked with a face of a puppy.
...
...
...
Ohhhh so that's how you wanna be with me now. Huh!, she replied with her face that formed into a pout.
She stepped closer and crossed her left hand onto shen's right hand forming a lock. He didn't care he just wanted nothing to do with her even if it meant listening to her rambles like a broken radio nonstop.
Suddenly an aura of a stallion was painted on the floor, the area burnt of a man who's presence was indescribable. Even his looks resembled unfinished arts of an artist. His footsteps sounded like pillows falling on the ground almost soundless. Some wondered his haircuts were done by an angel.
Okay team who's ready for this life threatening mission, asked Kevin with a proud smile of hope.
"Leader of responsibility and authority hm! More like leader of flexing and aura farming", said Shen while rolling his eyes.
Are you done showing off cap?, said Natasha with eyes that didn't care but was obviously irritated.
Oh come on! I was at the good part. Now how am I supposed to post this on zapchat, all my followers will be angry at me, said Kevin with a look of disappointment. He proceeds to delete his aura moment.
Why are you even doing this it's not getting you anywhere or giving you anything huge that the Bulltroyy force can't, said Natasha who's eyes were painted with worry and concern.
What do you know about me! Hm! At least I don't watch brain rot 24/7 and posting, replied Kevin with a face gushing with pride and confidence.
Damn.
She watches brain rot?
If that's true?
Then she needs to go touch grass, Shen thought his mind processing what just happened.
Shen turned his eyes to Natasha giving her a look of awe and surprise but not the good kind.
Well whatever! At least I'm not desperate for attention you greedy pig, responded Natasha who turned her head the other way obviously fed up with their banter.
Go touch grass brain rot lover, said Kevin who's face resembled a look of a disgusted woman.
Can we please focus, look no one gives a shit about your aura farm unc! You're way past your prime believe it and Natasha I'm with captain show-off on this one you need to go touch grass after this mission, stated Shen who's face displayed tiresomeness while sweating.
Kevin ignored what Shen said like a bear covering his ears while Natasha was silent as an owl and maybe hurt like a puppy who's paws were injured. Kevin stretched his right hand and turned his right arm facing left. He began pressing some buttons like his right arm was a touch screen. After that he got beeped with a message telling him about their mission and what will likely happen.
Okay team 6! 7! We've got a mission and a good one for clout but it's risky for y'all and not me of course. I'll survive, said Kevin with a face representing assurance.
Can you please stop calling us that. Our team's title is Squad H67 not 6 7, stated Shen with a look dripping with annoyance.
How can you say that to us. We're your teammates. Don't you have any sympathy?, asked Natasha with a look of fear and guilt which was ironed everywhere.
Look who's talking. Do you want me to give an announcement about how bad you were in other squads. The only squad which can handle you is team 6! 7! Also don't take it the wrong way honey it's just business. We're fucking forced to come together and beat a mysterious enemy we know little to nothing about. This is how the world gravitates, responded Kevin with a face masking your worst nightmare.
Yo! Unc What's the mission? All this is getting childish and stupid, said Shen who looked very fed up with his team.
Follow.
Me.
Team.
6 7
Both Shen and Natasha followed Kevin to a near open space area. When they reached there both Shen and Natasha were confused like a kangaroo wondering where she placed her baby. Kevin stepped Further a bit and did a pose resembling the T and suddenly the open space next to them opened, it's doors slowly moving away from each other while Kevin was posing for the camera hoping it gets a good angle of him like batman trying to get a good pose whilst standing on a cliff. Soon the doors were completely gone just a dark pit waiting to be dived in like a person diving in a clear pool. Natasha and Shen were astonished at how huge the hole was, it's size of mouth was like being on a huge satellite unable to escape.
Rejoice team 6 7 for we are at the threshold of no return. I'm sure the camera got a good view on me. I'll make sure to come collect it, said Kevin with a face dripping with satisfaction and relief.
Now before I jump inside the abyss I want y'all to tell me something?, asked Kevin his smile forming like the devil's.
Tell you what exactly?, said Natasha her face confused like a Bear figuring where it left it's honey.
I hope this is interesting, said Shen the bags under his eyes starting to feel heavy.
Now be honest what do you think of my off-white suit? Isn't it inspiring?, said Kevin with a face that was stitched with pride on it.
"More like a signal of red flags around you", answered Shen with a look stabbed by sarcasm.
Yeah it looks good now can we please get on with it?, said Natasha her face starting to form wet mud.
Haters gonna hate. Anyways see y'all at the finish line, said Kevin who's emotions went from red to blue instantly.
Kevin jumped inside the black hole spreading his body apart like someone about to jump in the pool like a star.
"Even in death he'll aura farm", said Natasha whose face had stopped leaking of care anymore.
Shen steps forward but is immediately stopped in his tracks by Natasha who looked at Shen happily with a warm smile.
Lady's first Shen! Don't you have manners?, Natasha said with a look melting with attitude.
...?
Shen did not answer. He just gave her a look of someone who was half asleep. Natasha as well fell into the black space of the hole then in mid-air she turned her direction to Shen showing him double middle fingers like someone thinking their exit was badass.
Sighs.
Shen was at the edge alone whilst the wind hummed at him telling him to jump. He straightened his hair backwards like a lunatic finally believing he isn't the only one crazy. He breathed in air like a vacuum and exhaled like a whale releasing huge bursts of air.
Here goes nothing, said Shen his look ironed with unfazed energy everywhere.
Shen jumped like an angel descending upon hell coming with guidance of god. Everyone was inside the mouth of void ready to face whatever challenges comes their way like maggots hopelessly walking in the dark with no direction.
End of chapter 1: Into the void!
