Staring at a star

It was 2015 the Great War was at its end, the human race was almost extinct. The smell of decomposing bodies still filled the air. We would have called it the Third World War but it wasn’t appropriate seeing as the world was actually at its end. Some people joined The Dark One or got converted into one of them against their will. I still don’t know why some people would join them, why would anyone would like to see their planet taken over by madmen who were lead by a source of pure evil. They didn’t have any respect for any kind of animal or human, every living being a test subjects or just another joy to kill.

I remember the day we left to fight in the war, my brother and I. Our father was as proud and as sad as he could be. His only two sons, fighting in the war, probably to never be seen again...

My brother had a mechanical back ground and I knew how to fly jet planes, I always helped my father spray the insecticide over the fields of our farm.

I still regret leaving my home, leaving everyone behind i loved and cared for. My parents and my little sister... my little baby sister. Two days after we left they came for my family; they refused to come willingly with them… so they weren’t of any value to them and slaughtered them in cold blood.

But now they are gone… my parents and my sister, dead. I think my time is also coming to its end; they are almost through our last line of defense.

There should be around one hundred normal humans left, well at least that was the rumor that was going around under the people who didn’t let them get corrupted willingly or by force by the power of The Queen of the Night.

*BOOM* (awesome explosion sound)

They broke through the last door, they were in great numbers and had much better weapons than us. It was a quick assembled strike team, most of them barely knew how to hold a gun, but still their weapons were in much better condition and they had ammo, the one thing our squad was running low on... and fast.

The battle was lost before it even began. They killed all of my team mates, including my brother, who tried to save me with his last strength. Their bodies scattered around the room, only I survived, wish I died at the moment...They took me hostage in one of their facilities, having fun by torturing me.

It has been months since i was one of their toys, at least that is what I think, it also could have been years. I had no sense of time any more, my body was broken, as was my mind.

I overheard them talking that all ‘filthy’ humans were captured and were getting moved to their capital city. There were only five humans left which included me…

This meant all hope was lost for the human race. Not that i cared at the moment, the only thing I had left was my individual survival instinct. Every time one of them got to close to the bars of my jail I grabbed them and broke their neck or strangled them. The once who saw this happen just stood there and laughed at their colleague getting killed.

The day had come, I was getting moved to my new but temporarily jail. It took a few days before reaching the capital city, I was blind folded the whole way so I had no idea where I was when they pulled me out into the daylight. I felt the warmth of the sun on my face, followed by a cold feeling as i got dragged back into the shadows.

''here you go you little worm, have a nice stay in our luxurious accommodation'', one of the guard that was holding me said as he threw me down, causing me to fall face first on a cold cobblestone floor.

''uuuggghhh, my head'' I said as I woke up with an immense headache.

‘‘Take it easy, you made a nasty ass face plant just there'' a heavy male voice said.

I was shocked by the sound of the man, I haven't heard someone speak this normal in years. His voice was harsh but gentle at the same time, and sounded very familiar.

I opened my eyes and looked around the dimly lit room. I saw two girls sitting in a corner cuddled up against each other for warmth. As i looked further I saw a man sitting on the floor against the wall, he was missing both his legs. Then I turned to the man who spoke to me, he was tall, muscular and had a very familiar face.

''D...do I know you?'' I asked the man who stood beside me.

''I don't know kid, probably'', he said simply, ''I have trained a lot of soldiers, you might have seen me at your trainings camp, where have you been trained?''

''Fort Phoenix’’ I answered after trying to collect my thoughts.

''Yeah, that could be right, what is your name kid?'' he asked with a slight smile.

''A...Ace, my name is Ace’ ’I answered stuttering, ''wait a minute aren't you Sergeant Wilson?''

''Indeed I am kid; you must remember me from the better days. Sorry but I'm not sure if I know ya, I have trained a lot of recruits over the years... or wait, ain't you the one who always was joking around and screwing thing up together with that brother of yours’’ , he said while glaring at me, followed by a smile, ''You two sure were something, talking about it where is that brother of yours?''

I didn't need to tell him, he knew when he saw the expression of pain and sorrow on my face.

''I'm very sorry for ya'' he said with a glum expression as he sat beside me.

There was a silence in the room which felt very uncomfortable, I wasn't the one who was going to break the silence as was he. We sat there for several minutes or hours when suddenly one of the girls with a bandage around head, covering her eyes woke up and screamed.

''easy, you are okay, everything is okay. I am with you'' the girl that was holding her said while holding the blind one even closer to herself.

The blind girl started to cry on the shoulder of the other girl, they must have seen and been through some shit themselves, i thought. I was still thinking about my brother, causing me sob silently.

''I want to go home, I want to wake up form this nightmare. I want to live again! ‘The blind girl said sobbing, ''please sis, get me out of here, i want to see mom and dad again''

''I...I can't and you know that'' the other girl said with a frown.

The girls were crying quietly, together this time. The sight broke the last bit of my heart, causing tears to roll of my cheeks but i didn't make a single sound. I lay down of the floor, trying desperately to get some sleep and get away from the mood in the room.

________________________________________________________________________

The days went by very slowly, the two girls were constantly trying to comfort each other, and the two men just watched in front of them with a blank face, General Wilson and I sometimes exchanged some words but the other man never spoke a single word, he just stared in front of him probably already accepted the death.

'’wake up my little puppets, it is time for your Grande Début’', said a guard who peeped his head down the hole I was thrown in to.

At the same moment a door in the room opened up, letting a beam of light fall into the room, behind the door there were standing six guards.

The first one came in and took both of the girls, the second one took the man without legs. Then two came in and took General Wilson, he disappointed me when he didn't resist them, I was going to beat the shit out of the fucker that was going to take me. Then there came two guards armed with electric rods, I recoiled at the sight.

''There were some complains about you my little puppet, you have been a very naughty puppet. Just come with us puppet or do we have to give you a makeover first'' The guard it the ceiling said as he jumped down, also armed with an electrical rod.

I made fists of my hands, I won't come that easy, I thought to myself. They started to close in on me from three different directions.

‘‘Now now puppet, please do behave. Didn't your parents teach you that not listening to your superiors is bad?'' He said with a smile, activating his rod causing it to spark and emit a smell of ozone.

He infuriated me when he talked about me parents, I grinded my teeth against each other in rage. I glared at him and stepped towards him, causing him to retreat a bit and poke the rod towards me.

''N...Now now puppet, don't do thing you'll regret'' He said in with a dash of fear in his voice.

I smirked and walked even closer to him, hearing the other two activate their rods too. The guard in front of me lunged towards me, but i dodged him easily, causing him to lose his balance and stumble beside me. I grabbed the rod at its handle and poked towards the eye of the guard and piercing it with an electrical flash. His body fell lifeless on the cold floor.

''No one talks shit about my family'' I said loudly to the now dead guard, right before being poked in my back by the other two guards.

'‘LAAAAAAADYS AND GENTLEMAAAN, ARE YOU READY FOR THE LAST CLEANSING!'’, an announcer yelled into a microphone.

Causing me to regain consciousness, I discovered that they had cuffed my hands and feet, they even had put a muzzle on me which caused me not being able to bite or talk. One of the guards was carrying me and as soon as he noticed I was awake he threw me on the floor and ordered me to walk.

'‘HERE THEY COME, THE LAST FOUR OF THE OLD RACE'’ the announcer yelled.

I was dumbstruck by what I just heard, there were five of us left, Sargent Wilson, the legless mam, the two girls and I. I looked around to confirm that there were still five of us.

‘‘Yes yes puppet, you thought you had me didn't ya. You shall not die any day soon, you will be my little bitch'' A guard with an eye patch said as he walked towards us from a dark hallway.

He removed my muzzle from my face with a hard yank, he activated the electrical rod again and started to move it towards my face. I never broke eye contact with the guard, he stopped an inch in front of my eye.

As he was about to stick the rod in my eye a big man kicked him away, causing the guard his back to snap and stop against a wall with a thud.

''I told him we needed this specimen intact, but he wouldn't listen... again. Ooh well he won’t be making that mistake again'' he said while smirking at me.

The large man grabbed my face and started to examine it, the man was wearing blood stained gloves and funny looking goggles on his head. His eyes were completely black, which probably meant that he had been given a lot of power by The Dark Queen.

''Indeed it does Ace, you will come with me and I will make you a very important tool. And about the others, well I don't think we should make the audience wait any longer for the show to start'' he said while still examining me.

The guards that were holding the others walked up a stair towards a door, behind this door was a stage with a foursome of killing devices on it, I heard the blind girl cry for her life right before the door fell shut and I also got dragged away. Back towards the darkness.

I woke up by a sharp pain that shot through my body, I opened my eyes and moaned. I was lying on an iron table that was covered in blood, all around me was covered in darkness. I started to panic as I saw my abdominal cavity and my ribcage open, showing all my organs. I saw my lungs moving and my heart beating.

''I knew it, I'm a bloody genius'' said a sheer full voice with a British accent from the darkness. ''now that there is only one human left the life force of the human race is all inside of you. Ooh yeah, I am so happy that you are alive, because a normal human wouldn't be able to lie like this and not feel that much pain. Of course it hurts like fuck, but you don't pass out like the others. NOW let us begin'' he said in a crazy tone, before he ran of giggling.

Several big machines around me started to make noise and emit light. A strange red light emitting fluid rushed through one of the tubes attached to my heart, as soon as it reached me my heart beat quadrupled causing my veins to expand by the extra pressure.

''well than, this was an experiment I always wanted to have done, sadly this will be the first and last time. This was a design I had when I was still a weak human, it is also designed for just humans. If it works you'll be one lucky son of a bitch, and if it won't well'' he putted his thumb down and made a farting sound with his lips.

Six steel hooks came down and covered me in a strange kind of foil, than they rose up again and struck down, and pierced the foil and passed all of my organs, not damaging a single one, but went through until the spine and one punctured my heart.

A bright light came from my heart illuminating the whole room brightly, my body felt like it was ripping itself apart. I felt an immense pressure in my head and body. A very bright flash came from heart, I gasped for air.

The hooks shot out, and closed my body stitching it from bottom to top in only three seconds, then shot back up in the ceiling making room for a huge electrical coil to decent, it stopped right above my head. There was light emitting from my chest, my mouth and eyes.

''Whahaha, it works. You lucky bastard, have fun wherever the fuck you go!'' The crazy scientist screamed through the room before pulling a lever on his control panel and started to dance again.

The coil descended until it was touching my forehead, causing sparks to emit from all over my body. It was a rush of power I had never felt, my body felt like it was gaining velocity, followed by a bright flash and a loud *boom*. I disappeared into thin air towards another universe, feeling my body change and tremble in pain and agony.
