The X Games

Episode 14 - End of the Beginning

The van drove slowly through Bentley street, it was very quiet. Miles felt uneasy, "I don't like this", he said, " it's too quiet ".

Ken also looked outside through the glass, " I agree with you kid, something's wrong".

"But we cannot turn back", Hitler said as he stood up, " if anything happens we fight, we kill anything that stands in our way".

"Oh no no", Ken interrupted, " not that way, Hitler ".

Roderick laughed, "nice one Ken, you are training young assassins".

Ken ignored him, he had better things to focus on especially the protection of the kids with him, he saw Malice sitting at the corner and with the look in her eyes, she was very scared. He walked to her. " Hey Malice"

"Hey", she replied faintly as she crosses her arms together and held her body firmly.

" You scared, or feeling cold? He asked.

"Both ken", She replied still holding herself.

Ken then sat beside her, " it's okay to be scared and I know bravery is not your thing but don't worry, I promise to keep you safe, you believe me?

"I do ken, I do",

"Good", he replied and stood up, walked to Azarath, " let's do this quick, which house are we looking for".

"Number 45", Azarath replied as he halted the car, " and we are already there ".

Ken faced back to Everyone, " all right, we've got to stick together, I believe that this wouldn't be easy, so watch out for each other", everyone except Roderick nodded. "Good, now let's go". Everyone stepped out of the
Van and met Azarath who said they should follow him.

Azarath led them inside the house, it was empty and completely crashes, the walls had crushed and blocked  ways in the house. " Come on it's in the basement", but their way was blocked by piles of huge rocks. "Mr Miles, would you please do the honours".

Miles steeped forward melted the rocks with his right hand and used his left hand to cool down the lava, although it had made holes in the ground. Azarath leaped over the hole very swift, while Malice carried the others over the hole with her wings, she carried Ken last, then pulled her wings back into her skin, Hitler watched the process, he always found it most exciting and disgust.

Azarath led them downstairs, there was a dim bulb inside which shone just enough to see the room. Miles scaled the room with his eyes, it was stuffed with boxes, only God knows what's inside, he thought but that didn't catch his attention as to the next thing Azarath did.

" Move back everyone ", Azarath said as he held his staff to a wall, with both hands and spun it very fast, then when it was fast enough, he used it to touch the wall, then immediately the wall began to open up something like an invisible rift, until it opened up large enough for people to pass. Then Azarath stepped back, " You should know we are not alone, I sense some other specials amongst us but they are... How will I call it, disturbed".

"How right you are Mr Roderick, or should I call you, Azarath", Mechano said as he appeared behind the boxes, " I should say I'm impressed ".

" Who are you? Ken asked.

"Oh, I am the hand behind CREST, but it seems what you have found here is worth exploring", Mechano said, " call me Mechano ".

" You are not laying your hands on this ", Azarath shouted at him.

"Oh I believe I will", Mechano replied.

"Oh, you and what Army? Hitler asked.

Mechano smiled, "this army", Then about a dozen specials appeared behind him, in front of them was Brad. " I believe you are familiar "
