Takal

Mini Arc

A vortex large enough for a lone and raggety space shuttle opened up in outer space. The young man that was piloting the shuttle had been awakened by the sudden smoothness the shuttle now flew in due to the entry into this universe. He was finally home, after such a long time away. He quickly rose to his feet and walked over to the shuttle's control board. No longer could he leave his fate in the hands of the autopilot. Unlike the previous universe he was in, most of the nearby planets had been destroyed or were dying off. Pieces of the planet floated in space like asteroid fields. The young man flew his way through the planet debris until he finally got close enough to see his home planet: Earth.
This Earth was different. It didn't have the special features that were necessary for human life to live. It wasn't even blue anymore. There was a deadly look to the planet now. All of this was exactly how the young man remembered his home. He couldn't bear to stare at it for much longer since he'd seen what Earth could look like. But that was why he came back. He had a mission to complete and he couldn't wait to share it with all his people.

The young man flew through smokey gray clouds of the planet. He couldn't wait to escape the harsh view of the clouds. Down in front of him he could finally see the city of Seattle. As happy as he was to see it, he couldn't help but notice that there wasn't any sign of a person that could flag him down. There had been one person assigned to making sure he landed the shuttle somewhere safe. At the moment, that person was invisible to the young man's eye. Due to the city being out of power, all he could see was darkness. Eventually, two small lights appeared. They moved in a motion that caught his eye. Now he could land.
The shuttle was piloted close enough to the person waving the lights that he could touch down on the flat surface of a tower in the city. The entire vehicle was shut down and the young man lowered the ramp. The person that showed him the way to land greeted him as he exited the shuttle.
"Jayron!" The person greeted the young man. "We were worried you'd never return."
"Everything is okay, David." Jayron Oaken said to the person in front of him. "It was a bit of a struggle over there, I won't lie."
"More demons have been showing up." David revealed.
"Don't worry," Jayron said. "We won't have to deal with them for very much longer. Where's Donk? Has he been keeping the demons off y'all?"
"He's been more of a help than I thought." David admitted. "I almost feel bad for relying on him so much."
"Good." Jayron said. "I didn't want to feel wrong for placing an alien in my place while I was gone."

Jayron and David entered the observation floor of the tower where the massive amount of survivors remained. From every bay to every road, the survivors watched the city for signs of demonic activity. But on this day, no one could watch. Everyone had been told about Jayron's return home. They couldn't wait to see him again. When the elevator doors opened to reveal Jayron, everyone surrounded him. The moments of his reveal seemed to happen so slowly to the survivors. Whatever flanks of the floor they were on no longer mattered now that Jayron was here.
Jayron greeted as many people as he could. Some people even bowed down to the young man in thanks for his service to them. The last time they'd even seen him was nearly two years ago, when he entered the other universe.
A voice called out to Jayron from across the room. Jayron recognized the voice to belong to his yellow alien companion, Donk. The yellow alien insisted on getting as close to Jayron as he could.
Donk captured Jayron in his arms and gave him one big hug as he swirled him around like a toy. Jayron learned to get used to Donk's excitement hugs, but his body hadn't received one in nearly two years.
"Tell us," Donk said after releasing Jayron. "Did you manage to catch any good intel?"
"I've learned a lot." Jayron said for all to hear him. "The humans of that Earth have suffered a darkness similar to our own. But they managed to bring themselves out of that darkness."

"Jayron," Donk called out to Jayron from across the room. "I have him."
Jayron turned away from the window to look upon a half man and half alien sent to this universe to kill him. He approached him slowly. He'd never seen the being known asAlien-Teen up close before. He judged him from head to toe wondering if he could truly kill him if needed. There had been a lot of strong people that tried to kill Jayron. Each time they did, no matter who or what they were, Jayron put them in their place.
"Pax Lander," Jayron greeted Alien-Teen. "I'm glad you were able to join us."
"You're Jayron Oaken?" Alien-Teen asked for confirmation.
"I guess I've really become famous," Jayron asked. "If the great Alien-Teen knows me by name."
"You're intending on killing thousands of innocent lives." Alien-Teen said. "I wouldn't exactly be proud of that."
"Oh, but I am." Jayron explained. "I've been preparing for this mission since I learned of the world being this one. How great it truly can be. And now I want a taste of that. The things you've all taken for granted will become our new salvation."
"You're not thinking clearly." Alien-Teen said. "We were hurt just as bad as you were. Aliens came down and rampaged our cities. We lost a lot of lives. Good people are now dead."
"I saw what your world looks like." Jayron explained. "You had enough to rebuild. You eliminated the aliens before they could come back. We could not. The demons were stronger than the aliens. They killed them after they were done with us. As you can tell, we do not have what it takes to rebuild."
"Then we can help!" Alien-Teen shouted. "We can band together and help you rebuild your home!"
"Your people won't help us." Jayron said. "They barely want to help their own kind. What makes you think they'll want to help us?! We'll never get what we want if we let your people try to help us. Do you truly believe I haven't already thought this through? I wanted to make sure I was wrong before putting our plan into action. And you know what? I have every right to put you all down."
"God dammit!" Alien-Teen shouted. "You really are going through with this! You're really going to kill all of those people!"
"That's right." Jayron said. "And I intend on doing it with your help."
"Huh?" Alien-Teen was puzzled. "My help? What in the hell would make you think I would help you?!"
"Because!" Jayron barked as he grabbed Alien-Teen by the throat. "You are the strongest person on your Earth. You could bring down cities if you wanted to! No one can match you! Not even the kid that shoots lightning from his fingers! With your help, I would be invincible."
"So you expect me to help you kill people?" Alien-Teen asked. "People I've risked my own life to protect?!"
"I never said you had to." Jayron began to loosen his grip on Alien-Teen's throat. "If you were to oppose me, I'd have to kill you and everyone you love."
"I oppose you!" Alien-Teen shouted.
Jayron sighed due to the lack of participation that Alien-Teen was willing to give. He let go of his throat completely before kicking him in the face at full force. Alien-Teen was sent onto his back whilst trying to recover from the kick. He'd never felt such an attack before. Jayron's strength was unlike any human he'd ever faced before.
The hand gun that Jayron carried on him was now being pointed at the center of Alien-Teen's head.
"I guess this little conversation of ours is over." Jayron said right as he was about to pull the trigger. He was interrupted by an explosive flash that soon followed up with a loud booming sound. It nearly destroyed the windows of the floor. The three of them turned their attention to the massive explosion that was taking place nearby the tower. Jayron recognized that location and soon understood what was going on. Alien-Teen was a diversion. The rest of the team went to the shuttle yard to destroy their shuttles.
"Donk," Jayron said while gazing upon his plans going to ruin. "Go down there and bring me his little friends."
"Yes sir!" Donk said right as he charged out of the tower through the window.
