A white golf cart appeared in the distance. Sirius drove him. After a minute he was in front of his shop. Then he saw his friend, Vector.

"Oh what a pleasure to see You, hello!" said Sirius and fist-greeted with Vector and XY "What a nice surprise, what is bringing you to my lovely shop?".

"We have to arm ourselves. We have to get some important stuff done." said Vector.

"Of what sort, important?"

"I suppose your business is to sell weapons, not to ask where are they going to be used."

"Indeed yes, but I will find out one way or another eventually."

Suddenly Vector put a long bag on the counter. He opened it and one short, faint burst of light happened. It was his very old and well preserved A-12 rifle. It was long as a violin, which was very short for a rifle of that era. Sirius watched it with a huge amazement. He offered Vector a great amount to buy it, bit every single time he refused. It was far more valuable to him than energy.

"What do you need for it?" said Sirius "I can provide you anything from bullets, gun pointers, shunters etc. for it, parts are abundant and cheap."

"I need Endyra bullets, 14mm caliber. Do you have them now in your shop? If you don't, I need them in next 48 hours, price is not a concern."

Sirius looked at him with a great fear in his eyes. His face at one looked pale and cold. "I do have them" said Sirius with a low voice " but I need to know why do you even need such a powerful ammo?"

Vector stood silent, entire shop was dead quiet. "Soon, you will see. If we succeed in our mission of course." said he with low and secret voice.

"Okay... I just don't want to see you sculls attached to a building somewhere. I will find out what two bastards want to do." said Sirius "Now we are going into my basement, follow me."

Sirius's warehouse was in the basement of his shop. Sirius took the curtain of the wall, which was behind the counter, showing a large and heavy bunker doors. "This big guy can survive a nuclear blast, just to know if you guys want to attack it one day." said Sirius sarcastically.

They passed thru the doors. At the start of the passage were hard, metal walls. At the end of it was a black dark void. Fastly they reached the end of the passage and felt they were in a large room, but a light that was coming from the shop was to faint for the them to see anything except small carbon-fiber fance. Suddenly Sirius said loudly with lifted hands "True light makes the darkest void disappear!" then struck a floor with short wooden staff that was helping him to walk.

A small lamp lighted in the distance, and few seconds after an array of massive reflectors warmed up and their glow spread like an explosion. Then Sirius said "I am proudly presenting you my small and lovely warehouse. Now we should get down by this stairway, follow me my fellow friends. I would like to warn you not to touch or talk to anything you encounter. I posses a great collection of ancient and dangerous artefacts, be careful and just try to stay close to me."

As they were coming down XY saw many shelfes filled with countless relics, boxes, glowing orbs and spheres and at the end he saw rock he never encountered before. They reached the bottom of the stairs. Sirius pointed to one passage between two rows of shelfes and said with low voice "Here". They went by. As they were walking XY felt as every item that he passed by was dragging him back.

"Sirius, I don't feel well here. I feel possessed and controlled by things I pass by."

Sirius smiled a little and said "I expected that question. You see, many items in this room have a special magnetic properties. Many of them generate a changing magnetic field which is inducting a small electric current in every closed circuit near. That is responsible for your dizziness. You should know Faraday's law."
