The Captured World [DISCONTINUED]

INTRODUCTION

The year is 2235. It has been almost ten years since the terrorist organization the "Moon Legion" acquired full global conquest after winning the Moonrise War. Laws are strict, life conditions are poor, and law enforcement are more brutal than ever.

Owen Harrick received a call from his friend to meet at the local café. As he walks down the street, police sirens blare out in the distance. Nothing out of the ordinary, as the city is notorious for high crime.

Owen opens the door and the cashier greets him. He nods at the employee and scans around for his friend. He spots them and walks over, sitting in the chair across from the small table.

"Hey, Owen!" The woman across the table said. Owen adjusted his glasses and responded quietly, "Hi, Reshona. How have you been?" Reshona takes a sip of her drink before responding back. "I've been better."

A small moment of silence goes by before Owen speaks up again. "So why did you want to meet up here so badly?" Reshona replied, "Last night Hyro told me he found something weird and is keeping it in his old shack. He never told me what it is but he wants both of us to come and see it." Owen sighed and rolled his eyes. "Hyro's a nut job. Why are you still friends with him?" Reshona took another sip of her drink. "Yeah, well he's my nut job." She said as she looked outside at the overcast sky.

Owen raised an eyebrow and asked, "What, so you wanna go over there now?" Reshona jolted up towards Owen and replied quickly. "Not really. It's just that he specifically said that it was really intriguing to him. Nothing like he's ever seen before, he told me. He never specified what he found, so I'm really curious."

Owen sighed and dangled his head. "Fine. We'll go." He said reluctantly. Reshona jumped out of her seat and exclaimed, "Awesome! Let's go!" She ran out the café excitedly. Owen turned and yelled back, "Hey! Hold on!" before running after her.

Owen catches up to Reshona and speaks in between breaths, "You sure are excited." Reshona looks over with a big grin. "Hyro sounded really antsy and excited. I'm not too sure why, but this one feels really special. I guess it's just the crazy vibe he gave off while talking to me." Owen chuckles and responds to her. "Gives off a crazy vibe? He is crazy." They both share a laugh.

They arrive at Hyro's house. It looks old and slightly overgrown as always. Nothing too surprising. The buildings in his area are not taken care of too well. They walk up the path onto his small porch. Reshona knocks on the door. A few moments pass and the door opens. A tall, thin caucasian man with black hair, beige trenchcoat and an eyepatch covering his right eye greets them. "Hi guys!" He says loudly. "Hey, Hyro." Owen and Reshona say in unison.

"Alright, so I put the thing out back in my old shed." Hyro says as he steps back into the house and towards the back. The two follow him to his backyard. An old wood shed stood in the back corner. "You are not going to BELIEVE what I found!" Hyro said excitedly as they all moved towards the shed.

Hyro knocked on the door, as if he was expecting a response.
