"No...NO! HELP! FARA! AIDEN! HELP!" Atlas yelled as he was being dragged away by Jason. "Ok enough of this," Jason said hitting Atlas with his rod. He then could hear footsteps coming from inside the tower. A door opened and out stepped Fara and Aiden. "Atlas?!" Fara exclaimed. She got out the Shark blaster and pointed it at Jason. "Let him go!" she said. Jason smirked and then a long bronze spacecraft flew up from below and hovered above and behind. four large laser cannons on each side of the ship came out and started firing green lasers at Fara and Aiden. They ducked for cover. The ship lowered down and a docking ramp opened up from the lower part of the ship. Jason dragged Atlas ontop it and it closed. The spacecraft lifted into the air and then flew off at fast speed into the sky. "What was that? who was that?!" Fara yelled. "That was Jason, Atlas's father..." Aiden replied. They stood up and began to walk inside the tower and walked down into the streets.
Fara pulled Aiden into an alleyway and pointed the Shark Blaster at him. "Ok, you better start explaining how you know all this stuff, and WHERE THE HELL DID HE TAKE ATLAS?!" she shouted. "Well, I can't speak when there's a gun pointed in my space, why don't we go back to your ship and I'll explain everything the best I can," Aiden said. "Oh no, I want my answers now!" Fara shouted. "Ok fine but please stop yelling," Aiden replied. "I AM NOT YELLING YOU MOTHER F-, fine I'll stop..." Fara said putting the gun away. Aiden sat down on an old box. "Well, how I know this is that I used to work for Jason, I was a part of this group called the M.O.B, which stood for Mortals Of Beyond, he took broken people like I was and gave them power, and turned them into superhumans, but which he did to me," Aiden showed his hand which had a glowing navy blue octagram on it. "Just like Atlas has his power, so do I, but it was artificially put into me, unlike Atlas who was born with it," Aiden said. "But where is Atlas now?..." Fara asked. "I don't really know... Jason as many places he does his work," Aiden said. "Then we should begin with one you know," Fara said.
Atlas opened his eyes. He was inside some kind of cell. The door was small and had only one door. "Well well you are awake," a voice said. "W-who's there?" Atlas said it was hard to see because the room was very dimly lit. A person walked out of the shadows of the room. It was a girl with black and silver hair wearing a striped shirt and black pants, and green eyes. She walked up to the cage and had a crazy smile. "Hi there, I'm Ichika, Mr.Jason told to keep on eyes on you while we are traveling, plus I don't like looking out the window while we space travel," she said. "Sp-space travel?" Atlas asked. "Yeah, dummy, you think we'd stay on your boring planet, ha! hell no we got better joints to go to," Ichika said laughing. "And where exactly are you taking me?" Atlas asked. "Can't tell ya, pretty boy, you'll see when we get there," Ichika said. The door opened and a man walked in. "Ichika, Jason wants to speak with you," he said. "Ugh, catch you later," she said to Atlas as she walked out. The man walked over to the cell. He was dressed in all black and had a black scarf, his hair was black and his eyes were orange with a little bit of light purple. "Hm, so you're the one your father has talked so much about," he said. "Who are you?" Atlas asked. "My name is Tobias, or Tobi as many call me," he replied sitting on a wood chair. Atlas caught a glance at Tobi's hand on it was a glowing mauve-colored octagram. "Are you apart of the bloodline...?" Atlas asked. "No, this is different, unlike you who gained their power from birth I was given this power through a chemical Jason made that gives us this power. your father found me, lost, dying in the abyss of existence, he restored me and gave me the power of the octagram. and now I owe him my life," Tobi said. "So you're a slave to him," Atlas said. "No, I am not, nor am I to anyone, we, The M.O.B are above all who oppose us, we do not serve anyone, we are like a family," Tobi said. "That's what it is for now, but I bet he'll discard you soon enough," Atlas said. "We'll see," Tobi said standing up. Atlas saw that tied to his belt was a sword in a scabbard. The door opened, Jason and Ichika walked in. "We have arrived," Jason said. He opened the door and put handcuffs on Atlas and lead him out.
They walked down the docking ramp and onto a landing platform. The platform was in the middle of an ocean and all around them were miles and miles of deep blue water. Then a rocket-powered flat skiff with a yellow railing around it flew up to the landing platform. They walked over and got on and it flew off. Floating in the sky was a giant floating island with a huge mountain. And down below was an island with a beach and jungle. The skiff flew down and headed towards the island down below. It landed on the beach and they were greeted by a woman with long black hair wearing a black plague mask that had glowing eyes, one green, one red. Jason lead Atlas up to the woman. "Hello, Styx, I have a new subject here," Jason said. Styx looked at Atlas. "I doubt he is as powerful as you say he is, Jason, after all the hark on the palm of his hand says so..." she said. "Believe me, once you start the tests you will be dying to proceed with the project," Jason said. Styx grabbed Atlas and lead him down a path through the jungle he saw a sign buried in overgrowth from vines which read. "Welcome to the Dolphin Facility". Jason and the other three got aboard the skiff which flew up to the floating island and landed inside a hidden landing hanger inside the side of the moutain.
Aiden and Fara arrived back inside The Doomship and started it up. "Where should we check first?" Fara asked. "I can remember one that is somewhat close, it is located on an abandoned space station once belonging to a galactic government," Aiden said as he punched in some numbers into a pad. "Here are the coordinates to this place," Aiden said. "He better be there," Fara said. "Well I cannot promise that, but since it's the closest I know I'd assume they'd go there," Aiden said. The Doom ship started up and flew into space. Fara started up the booster rockets and the ship took off at fast speed.
