The Infinite Realms

Chapter 6 - Again

Mark's POV

It was a nice morning, nothing really dark and gloomy like we normally get. But just a sunny day. Honestly this is how I really wanted it to start today... Nice and peaceful. Something in a cheerful mood. Until..

"Yet again! We have another man falling from the sky! This time, not with wings." The woman spoke from the News. Jack sat there on the couch, hugging onto a pillow, and staring at the TV.

"For fuck sakes.." I grumbled under my breath. Honestly could there be anymore men falling from the sky? I guess the Raven Realmers are just tossing the leaders down to this realm. They did the same thing with Vanoss.. Who else would be next? Jack hushed me, breaking my thoughts. He was still watching with great interest. I huffed out a frustrated sigh then sat next to him on the couch.

"He appears to wearing a white mask, yellow body paint, and has some sort of weapon attached to his arm. We can't describe what the weapon does, since it doesn't feel as if it was from Earth. Are Aliens attacking us? Is this the time of Armageddon? We will continue this, after these messages." The lady spoke, then nodded so it can go to the messages. I hurried onto my feet and turned off the TV. God I can't stand all this sudden disruption..

"It's Cry.." I mumbled softly. Jack raised his brow at me.

"Cry?"

"He's from The Cyber Realm. I'm surprised he got taken down by the Ravens that easily. He's always shown great strength against everyone that tries to fight him. I'm guessing his age is starting to get to him." I brushed my red hair back, and out of my face. How much longer before the Ravens make their way to The Realm of The Living? I sat down, now stressing out about the situation.

"We need to grab Cry. Before someone else random suddenly comes and grabs him." I mumbled under my breath. I swear if that guy in the hoodie comes around again, I'll make sure he doesn't get away from me even though I didn't even try last time.

"Yea... Plus, maybe with his help, we could take down the Ravens! I mean... He's smart, also he has amazing gadgets.."

"Not now Jack... We have to be patient. Plus, you can never be sure of an outcome..." I sighed at the thought. Jack's eyes widen at me, then slowly narrowed at me.

"What are you trying to say?" He said in a said tone, his gaze lowering to the ground. My eyes widen.

"I didn't mean.."

"You never mean anything...." He cut me off, hugging onto the pillow tightly. Jack then made a soft sniffle, and tears started falling from his eyes. He's sensitive.. A very sensitive person, I couldn't say anything that with out triggering his past.

"I know I'm a failure Mark. You don't need to keep reminding me." He whispered softly. His eyes were soon glowing bright blue and green.

"Jack... Please listen to me. I never want you to feel that way, never ever in my life." I gave him an sad face expression. His eyes glared back up at me, filled with what looked like dark blue ink, but instead were his tears..

"Alright..." He said then wiped away the ink like tears, leaving a blue smear. I couldn't see him like this... He's cried blue before, but it's now normally when he gets reminded of how much of a "failure" he is. I'm not sure what happened way before I found him, because he hardly ever talks about it.

"We can try to go get him. But we'll have to do it later at night.. If someone fetches him, it might be during the day like last time." I started to think of a plan.. Honestly I would prefer fetching him right away, but I'm not sure if they would possibly let an alien go that easily. Especially if he has a special type of weapon that is worth studying.
