A Dragons Redemtion
Chapter Dark Cloud: Random Encounters
Previous ChapterNext ChapterDark Cloud walked through the the ancient city of old and continued through passing the spires that the Old Ages offered. There were secrets left on told and answer to questions not yet asked. It was a surprise that no one had found this place yet. which made her mind start turning and a question entered her mind.
"Where is this settlement?" Dark Cloud asked as she looked over to CT.
"Well, it the Old ages standers its more of a city, but they called them settlements instead of cities until they knew it was for sure a city." CT said.
"What was this place like?" she asked him as he looked at her with his one eye.
"This place was called sanctuary. The last American City. It was supposed to be here but due to shifting of continents , this is what's left of it." He said.
"Shifting continents?” Dark Cloud asked.
“Yes the old age scientists believe that eventually the continents would form once more to form what they called a supercontinent named Pangea.” CT said as he floated by her side. “Just to show you here is a map of the world that the old ages lived in. Divided by the ocean. But they believed that when the supercontinent formed it would mark when the world would have to set aside their differences and come together to create worlds like no other. It was not meant to be ever since project Shadowfall.” He said as Dark Cloud ran the project name through her data base and found it and put it in her important folder she had created for anything important to her. She moved with him going through the city as they walked and Dark Cloud felt like she was being watched.
She quickly grabbed CT and pulled him to her chest in which if the small robot could blush from the sudden holding him he would. And arrow flew by and dug itself into a piece of metal that was in front of her as she mantled over it and took cover. She then pulled him away from her chest to see if he was okay and found that he was perfectly fine.
“You okay CT?” Dark Cloud asked him as she took the chance and took a peak only to have an arrow nearly hit her in the head.
“Yeah I am fine, but I detect 4 heat signatures in that spire. My data banks say that it was called the Empire State building. They are on the 12th floor.“ CT said he noticed that their shapes were familiar.
Dark Cloud stood up and ran towards the building while carrying her only companion with her. And she saw a shaft that went straight up to the floor she needed to go to. She hoped in started to fly, but saw an object coming down on top of her and went into the 4th floor almost being crushed.
“That was close.” Dark Cloud said. She got up and walked back to the shaft with CT floating by her side.
"My recommend that we take the left shaft since it has already collapse and it will get us up to the tenth floor where we can deal with the threat. Although their body structure looks familiar." CT said as he started to think on that.
She went up the shaft climbing it due to her wings being too big. As she climbed she saw a piece of debris coming towards her. She looked to her left and saw a pole she could grab onto and she jumped right before it could hit her.
"Well I did not realize this building had deteriorated so badly." CT said as if it was just a simple mistake.
"Well I would have loved to known that before I entered a rusted metal tunnel." Dark Cloud said with irritation.
"Elevator shaft not a tunnel. A tunnel would have been considered a mining shaft and it.." He was cut off by Dark cloud.
"Please don't become a dictionary I already have one of those in my head I don't need another one." She said as she continued to climb and dodge debris.
She had reached the top and jumped onto the the ledge and climbed up out of the elevator shaft. She was about to say we made it until an creature with a sword tried to swing at her, but she barely missed and grabbed the wrist of the weird creature that stood before her. They both struggled for the upper hand until dark cloud got her opening and punched the creature right in the jaw stunning him as she grabbed him and threw him down the shaft.
"What was that thing." She asked CT.
"I don't believe it. It was a human, but how?" CT asked.
"I don't know, but I think there maybe more near by." she said as she got close to the door way and peaked into the room. She kept looking until she heard on of them speak.
"Τι εννοείς? Έλεγξα την ανατολική πτέρυγα για εισβολείς. (What do you mean? I was checking the east wing for that intruder.)" One of the humans said as they conversated with one another.
"Λοιπόν το αφεντικό δεν θα είναι ευχαριστημένο με αυτό.(The boss will not be happy about this.)" The one in front of him said.
She moved to a set of boxes and took cover behind them and got ready for a fight.
"How many?" she whispered to CT.
"About 4. one of them is a high ranking officer by the looks of the one up on the balcony near that terminal." he said.
She readied her weapons and came up behind one and shot it in the back of the head killing it instantly. As the shot rang out and the body fell to the floor the rest of the humans looked at her and pulled out their weapons and opened fire and she ducked for cover behind a fallen pillar as arrows wised by her head.
"ΚΑΝΤΕ ΤΟ ΔΗΜΟΝΟ(GET THE DEMON)!" The larger one said as he pointed in her direction. She peaked over and opened fire killing one of the smaller ones.
"So these are the humans that created this place?" She asked.
"No they aren't. Well not exactly. It seems that Project Shadowfall must have had effects that the scientists must have over looked." CT said.
"Well at least we know what not to do." she said and opened fire again hitting the one on the left in the arm and head making him drop dead.
"Θα πληρώσετε για αυτόν τον δαίμονα!(You will pay for this demon!)" The human said before he all the sudden grew wings and jumped out the window and flew off.
"Um could humans always do that?" Dark Cloud asked.
"No. In human mythology they were called either demons or remnants due to them looking like what they were but looking far different in appearance." CT said as he read the description.
"Something tells me we will be seeing him again and that something is coming. Something dark and powerful." She said as she looked over the horizon see the ruins of the other buildings that had fallen over or were just stuck at an angle.
