Beyond the Last Star

Chapter 2- Barg

Now how the hell did he end up stuck in this situation again.... I sigh as I walk down the street towards an abandoned warehouse near the edge of the Kitan region. I'm risking a lot to try and save his ass.

I walk up to the door, half open, and push it aside allowing the sunlight to stream in. As I allow my eyes to adjust I notice some old furniture along with several hovercraft parts. Accelerators, engines, floatstones, all vital pieces. I start to poke around when I hear a shout from the roof of the building. Then I hear a scream, one I know all too well. It's my brother. As dimwitted and obnoxious as he may be, he's my brother. I've got to save him... he wouldn't need saving if he didn't get into trouble but he doesn't seem to get that theory...

I sprint up the stairs, checking each corner for more people. As I approach the top floor I notice his screams fading. I clamber up the last flight and burst onto the roof, sunlight blinding me momentarily as six pairs of eyes glare at me with anger.

"Who the fuck are you? And why are you here?"

Though I'm petrified with fear I managed to triumphantly say "I'm Barg. This idiot's twin brother."

As they glance back and forth between my brother and me I use the distraction to run to my brother and start to untie him.

"Hey! Stop it!" The guys start to run over and hit me, punching my face and barely missing my neck. As they swing I feel blood start to drop down my nose and finally my brother is untied.

I say firmly "Get the hell out of here Darg. Now." All he replies is a nod as he runs as fast as possible to the stairs and starts sprinting down.

The last thing I remember is one of the guys hearing sirens and another pushing me down before stepping on my face and knocking me out. Everything went black and I lost all feeling, slipping into a void of darkness.
