THE GUARDIAN 2

CHAPTER 1: BACK IN ACTION

I finally made on to the scene, the empty courtyard was lit up by the light of the moon. I drove up to a group of my men in their police force uniforms. I parked by them and stepped out of the car. "About time" Velro snapped as he approached me. "We've waited forever" he complained. "Sorry Velro, pregnant wife at home, plus I'm not used to being called to situations that shouldn't require my help" I exclaimed. "Are you going to help or not?" Velro asked. I smiled "what's the problem?" I asked. Velro nodded "you see that abandon factory over there?" Velro asked as he pointed at the courtyard.

I looked noticing a broken down small factory with smashed windows and old chipped paint. "What about it?" I asked. "Well we have reason to believe that some of Majestas old followers are in there conducting some sort of super weapon" Velro explained. "Super weapon huh, well why not send a team in and get this weapon?" I asked. Velro shook his head "I did, five times, each time the team went in they never came out" Velro said. "So you want me to go in there?" I asked.

"Well you are the guardian, plus you're the only one I trust to not vanish on me" Velro said. I sighed "fine the sooner this is done the sooner I can go home to Sandra. I closed my eyes and focused on the area around me. I gaspsd in surprise from what I felt. "What's the matter?" Velro asked. "You weren't kidding Velro. I can sense an immense amount of magical energy in that factory" I told him. "Well can you open a portal into the place?" Velro asked. I shook my head "nope the place had a magical border cast around it, a portal would be to risky to use, unless you don't mind going through the other side in pieces" I joked.

"No time for jokes Toby is there anything else you sense?" Velro asked. "Yeah a few guards that give off an evil sort of vibe, defiantly Majetsas crew" I said. "What about our men?" Velro asked. "Sorry I don't sense them" I said. Velro looked down at the dirt "so does that mean-" "only one way to find out" I interrupted Velro. I then made my way into the courtyard towards the factory.

"What the.... Toby what are you doing we need a plan!" Velro yelled. I just ignored him and made my way towards the factory doors. There were two large doors that was big enough to belong to garage. I carried the balancer on my back as always. I pushed the doors open and stepped in. I was now inside of a very large room with little to no light. There were shelves as tall as the ceiling in rows on either side of me along with boxes and crates of all shapes and sizes spread all over the place randomly. "We're open to a surprise attack" Velro said as he and the rest of his men followed behind me.

I looked down to the end of the room but couldn't make anything out in the dark, but I could feel the presence of the weapon in the dark. "Stay close" I ordered as I walked deeper in. Velro and the rest followed closely. There were about 7 men with me and Velro, they all carried pistols but Velro had a battle axe. "It's quiet" Velro said, "we're safe I don't sense anything" I said reassuring him. "Hey guys where'd Jimmy go?" One of the officers asked.

We all turned to see the officer in the back was sweating and shaking in fear. "H-h-he was right behind me" he said stuttering. I counted and noticed only 6 officers left. "What the heck" another officer said. Before I could say anything and arm reached out of a dark corner and grabbed and officer by the neck. It pulled him back into the darkness before he could even scream. "Whoa!" Velro yelled, "oh heck no I'm out" the shaking officer yelled as he ran back to the doors. "Wait!" I yelled but it was to late, some kind if string shot from above and wrapped around the mans neck.

He was pulled up into the air screaming and fireing his pistol randomly. Until he vanished into the darkness. His screamed echoed throughout the factory until CRACK! and the screaming abruptly stopped. Velro and the remaining five then huddled closer to me. "Could this be the super weapon? Velro asked. I shook my head "no I can't sense this thing, it must be another one of those experiments they've been working on in here, it has no soul" I explained. I then took a step out of the huddle into the open space.

"Toby what are you doing we need to stick together!" Velro yelled at me. I looked back at him "think I found those men you've lost" I said. Velro looked at me in confusion. Suddenly something shot out from the darkness at me. It was quick but I was quicker" I threw my fist at it punching its midsection. The creature grunted and fell to the floor. Velro and his officers looked at the monster in horror. "What on earth" one said, another officer turned and puckes all over the floor.

"I didn't sighn up for this" another said. The creature looked like a mashup of different people put together. It had two grotesque arms but had fingers littered all over them. Its hands were a mash up of two stitched together. Its body was partly wrapped up in paper like a mummys. There were faces of people embedded into its skin. But its actual face was noseless and had two red eyes. And sadly enough, I recognized some of the faces stitched up in its skin. "Your men have been kidnapped and fused together" I explained. Velros mouth dropped and awe.

I looked down at the creature and pointed my hand at it. "I can imagine the pain their in, I'll make it quick" I said. The creature leaped at me but I shot a ball of fire at it lighting the whole factory up. With a loud BANG! The creature was reduced to dust.
