Anton was thinking.
"There is more than 5 . . . What is more than 5?"
The skeletons were still trying to hit him, but he was able to dodge them.
"No way! Is he telling me that there are more than 5 dimensions? That's impossible. String Theory was turned down long ago . . . That light must have been Jason."
Damian could not land a single hit on Anton. He got mad.
"I will end this now!"
He assembled all the skeletons using his gravity and created a giant sphere.
Anton was near his key to victory. He had only a little time left to think.
"Jason past here as a light form. Does that mean . . . but how?"
Damian's gravity was pulling the bones too strong together. Suddenly the force was so strong it made the sphere of bones to explode. Damian teleported immediately to a safe place. The bones were flying everywhere with an incredible speed. Anton felt only one of the small parts pierce his body. Then he lost in darkness. He felt a strong intuition to just run forward and he started to do so.
. . .
It was already morning. Young Marc was still soulless. But the 3-dimensional body couldn't endure the struggle anymore. As Jason said, Marc's time would end that day. Suddenly young Marc's body became so cold and his father realized what was happening. With his wife and his son dead, he did not know how to live anymore. For a minute, he forgot how to breathe. The tears were already killing him. They were blocking his nose and mouth. He decided to end his life. He took a knife and he was ready, but things didn't go as he wanted. The house door opened by force and a policeman, together with some doctors came in. It looked like a neighbor had heard the loud noise of crying and had called them. The police stopped Marc's father. It seems, his time of death had not come, yet.
. . .
It was 10 A.M. The last second just passed. Marc's body that was still in "Operation Room" started to decompose slowly. The cells that Jason had created were disintegrating and dying one by one. Greg decided to get up from his bed and check the bodies. When he entered the "Operation Room" he was shocked. The monitors were showing a dead body while Jenny was still fine. The doctor saw Marc's flesh appearing after the decomposition of its skin. He realized it was too late. Greg felt guilty for Marc's death although he had nothing to do with it. He called Jack and Brian. After half an hour they arrived there. Jack's eyes were too cold to clearly realize the meaning of a friend's death. 2 weeks had already passed since the experiment. Marc was no longer alive. On the other side, Brian, although he looked serious and cold long time before, was crying like mad in his friend's dying bed.
. . .
Anton was still running. Suddenly he heard a noise. It was Jason again.
"Stop there and try to think about your human body."
Immediately after, Anton felt just like he was awaken from a bad dream. But everything was real. Anton was now looking at the view. He was back in that planet again.
"Wait . . . Where is Damian?"
He turned his head back to realize he had finally completed his mission. Damian was lying dead just behind him. Anton was curious to know what happened. He looked at Damian's back. Blood was everywhere and it looked like it came from many holes in that body. Anton understood that Damian's body was pierced from many pieces of something.
"He couldn't handle the blood loss. But what killed him? Those bones? Not possible, he was far away!"Anton was thinking too hard about it. Suddenly he shouted.
"Hey Jason! Show yourself! I am very happy that you saved my life, but I didn't want this! I wanted to kill him! Not you!"
Jason appeared in front of him. This time, he had transformed into a young man. He was looking Anton with his blue eyes.
"It was not me . . . you killed him."
"What? You must be joking!"
"You couldn't see anything because you were light. Traveling at its speed may make you feel uncomfortable. If you move at the speed of light you can't see anything. That's because no light has arrived at the objects yet. You are as fast as light, how can you see something without light? You can't."
"You mean I was transformed into light? That's not possible!"
"That is what dimensions give you. Now you have understood what you always wanted."
"The Truth! Now I know it! But wait! How many dimensions are there? How many could I use?"
"That is way beyond your understanding. You made well, the chosen one."
The background changed and Anton was able too still see Damian's dead body for a couple seconds.
"It's over, finally."
Anton was back in his planet again. He wanted to find "A Syndicate". Jason had already left. Anton was alone but happy. Suddenly he realized, he shouldn't be. A lot of Scarlett's memories came into his brain. Meanwhile he was also thinking about his abilities, but he couldn't remember. It was so painful. He couldn't remember anything that had to do with dimensions. He could only remember that he killed Damian somehow, a bad man who had killed his lover, Scarlett. Anton sat on a rock and started to cry thinking his old times with Scarlett. He was only remembering their normal times together. Strangely nothing with dimensions was passing in his brain.
