Multidimensional Fighters

Chapter 12: Looks can be Deceiving

Steven had finally reached the shack after what seemed like hours of walking and when he got inside he was disappointed to find a huge mess and nothing more. Meanwhile, Nathan looked around a bit and noticed a shape in the distance, "Hey! Can you help me?!" He yelled with all his strength, it did not move. He decided he'd have to get up and walk over there so he did. Fluffy flew behind him pushing his back to help, as he got closer the shape began to look less like a person and more like a small building. 

He started walking faster toward it hoping there would be a person inside willing to help him or at least some water or food, "Is anyone in there?! Please, help me!" He yelled. He walked inside and there was nothing, only trash and a small number pad. "Dammit. Why does this look so familiar... Think Nathan think..." He sat on the ground and picked up a wrapper, "Oh my god... Bradey... This is his shack!" He yelled out excited then began to slowly look down sadly. "They don't even care enough to notice me say anything. They're probably still just looking around." He sniffled and wiped a tear away, Fluffy jumped up in his lap and rubbed his multiple heads all over Nathan, "Hey boy, we'll be alright, I promise!" Nathan said smiling and sniffled again. He lay back and closed his eyes. 

Bradey had become dehydrated from walking, he noticed a small shape in the distance and immediately recognized his shack, "Home!" He began running as fast as he could and when he got there busted through the door. He lay down on the floor breathing heavy and looked over and saw what looked like a skeleton. He looked closer and saw another skeleton with it, a small hydra. He examined the human bones and noticed it was the same clothes Nathan had on and saw the two scythes still glowing gently. he screamed and backed up to the wall, "Nathan! No!" He put his head down hyperventilating, "Bradey? How the hell did you find me?" Came a weak voice, Bradley's head shot up looking at Nathan and he scrambled over hugging him, "You're okay! Oh my god I was so worried!" He stopped suddenly and screamed again, "How the hell are you alive?! You were just a skeleton! How are you alive?!" 

Steven looked around and noticed a small number pad, "Ooh buttons!" He smashed it and a door slid open revealing a room, he jumped in and looked around. There wasn't much on the walls besides some animal heads and rusted weapons, "Well this is useless! I wonder where I am." He looked around a little more and noticed something familiar, a sledgehammer. It was in a display case also rusted and the glass cracked. Steven touched the glass gently running his finger along the crack, "Looks like something was slammed into it. Maybe there was a fight." He looked down thinking about how much it looked like Brady's weapon Sledge. 

(Introducing a new characters point of view) The strange creature watched as  Max was still walking after hours, never noticing the difference, still seeing the wonderful peaceful land. It jumped out in front of him and slammed against him sending him flying back, "You idiot! Why have you still not noticed this horrid destroyed land?! You have been walking for hours and have done nothing!" Max got up and dusted himself off and looked around, he noticed the wasteland and nothing around him, "Holy shit what's going on?! Who are you?!" He fell down again staring at the creature, it was still standing staring at him. 

"Do you really want to know what i am? My true name? My name is Grazoaran, my species is as old as the universe, we are the Klaiak! The destroyers of worlds, devourer of species, killer of anything that gets in our way! We hail from the planet of Tarsiss IV, in the galaxy Thalium in the Quistlen nebula! And i will not let you four idiots stop me now!" Max grabbed Thunder preparing to fight, "If you're the most powerful race in existence then why are you here alone? Why haven't you taken over our world already? And just because i like learning things, what does that all mean in my language?"

The creature quickly flew toward Max hitting Thunder away from him and stood next to it, "I am not here to fight or kill you mortal, i am too weak at the moment. My name, Grazoaran means destroyer or master, I was an army commander. Our race, The Kraiaks, means crystals, and out world, that is not important. I am alone, the last of my kind. We were once the master race. but there was a war. Against the rest of the universe, and we lost. I was only a child at the time and do not remember much of it, but what i do know is the humans are what killed my people! You scum! I created this portal and these creatures out of what i haas gathered from the information from your world, the strongest creatures in your history, I then traveled to this dimension to grow them, develop them. Then opened the portal."

Grazoaran looked down, "I must get vengeance for my people." Max looked at him confused, "I have a few questions for you then." He stood up and walked closer, "If the humans are the ones who killed your people, then why can't we travel through space or have any advanced tech?" Grazoaran turned towards Max, "Because you are not the first humans, the humans have been alive for many millenniums, you have spread throughout the stars, your world is merely a small project to see how you act with what you are given and what is around you. Like a television broadcast, your people have been doing extremely well."

Max looked down in shock, "No way, but if we killed your people, how did we? How did we find your weakness?" Grazoaran began to get angry, "How the hell am i supposed to know? I was only a child!" Max looked at him, "You look human, besides your crystal form and energy power, what if our people lived together? What if all of these stories were fake? Made up because of someone who hated the humans, what if we didn't kill your people? But someone else did. We could work together, you along side the human race, you could help us with space travel and we could help you learn the truth."

"No. i choose to believe what i have been told. Humans must be destroyed. Nathan has already fallen into my trap along side Bradey, Steven managed to find a different trap but is in one none the less. I will have my power back soon enough." Grazoaran turned and disappeared without a trace. Max stood staring at the ground thinking to himself, "That can't be right. We didn't do it. We couldn't have." He looked up and noticed a small shack in the distance and decided to head toward it. "Maybe this is the trap he was talking about, i hope i can find one of them.
