Rise For Terror

(2021 – PRESENT DAY)

(WASHINGTON DC)

In an empty facility; one so large that it should be filled with workers at the moment; but no, no one was there, and there were only few engineering tools here. The entrance door slides open to the side, while a man walked in; clad in blue overall suit, white shirt beneath, and red knotted tie around his neck, making him look like a President. He was just sliding in an ID Card into his pocket as he came in, and the door was automatically closed.

He must have opened the door with this ID Card. He was putting on a Rolex wristwatch, and a shiny golden ring in the ring finger of his left hand. He walked on as his shoe made a sound at each step he took. 

From his appearance, he looked like a man in his 40s, and he was fair in complexion. This man continued walking in this large spacious room until he arrived at a door which chimes open on its will. He walked in. 

This place had metallic walls, and glasses filled this room.

He still continued walking, till he was right before an elevator door. As it was opened, he walked in and heaved a sigh before the door was closed, 

     “Bottom Line!”, he said calmly.

The elevator suddenly began to go down at a faster speed than it should. It continued for seconds while the man cared less about this. Until it finally slowed down and stopped.

The elevator door dings open, and he walked out of it, but he had just walked into a secret vault in this facility. It was a big room filled with many busy scientists, and engineers… even guards who possessed weapons. This place was underground, and it even had upper rooms. 

It was constructed so nicely, and amazingly unbelievable. 

The man walked past some of them who bowed sharply to him, while most of them were busy with works. He headed for another room still, and on the door, was an inscription, ‘Psycho Project’

He opened this door, and walked into a room much smaller than the other, but still spacious, and enough for quite a number of people.

But, in this place were machinery beds with force fields covering up occupants of the bed; each of them putting on a cream-colored top, and trousers. 

There were about 8 of them. But there were many more beds which were empty. 

Each of the patients were being inspected, and a man putting on a black suit was in there with two bodyguards. A man in his early 50s; on noticing the man who just came in, he smiled, and walked towards him, 

     “Stewart…”, he said while giving the one who just came in (Sherman Stewart) a handshake

     “I’m so sorry I couldn’t make it early”, Stewart apologized, but the other man who seemed happy only laughed it off, “It’s nothing to worry about. Now that you’re here, Doctor Clever, I’m just happy. Expecting your clever ideas today”

Both laughed softly, and then the other man (Thomas Pearce) was pointing at one of the patients who was covered in a force field, 

     “Stewart, you see that one…?”

Stewart nodded, as he moved closer to one of them; the blue force field seemed to be sparkling electricity within it. A lady was inside this force field; her eyes closed.

     “We’re getting some reactions from her lately”, Thomas said, “Some speculate she might wake up soon; but her sudden consciousness could cost us our lives… this place could go down”

      “Then we should take her away from this place”, Stewart suggested as he stared at Thomas.

Thomas nodded in agreement, ‘You’re right. And from the readings they get from her, she could be a perfect weapon if we can get her under control. She must be very powerful as the scientists believe”

      “My apologies sir, but we shouldn’t think about weaponry for now”, Stewart said, he looked like he was against that idea

      “What else would she be for? Destruction… and nothing else”, Thomas chuckles.

Stewart and Thomas continued their conversation, while one of the scientists moved on to the lady in topic. He clicked a button on the machine bed, which allowed a clearer view of her through the force field, though it was still there.

He suddenly noticed her open eyes; white and bright like the stars. He was startled; causing him to yell, and also drawing the attentions of the others who gazed at him.

Meanwhile the lady on the bed suddenly had flashbacks of herself being in the star, and draining all of it’s energy to the very bit, that it remained nothing, and also transformed into a black hole; while she was now shiny as the star, and suspended mid-air, her body floated into the black hole and she suddenly appeared in the sky of Earth. 

Falling from above, and bursting into the ground, leaving a large crater like a bowl. But she was left unscathed. Some men saw her fall from the sky, and took her. 

Sooner or later, she was suddenly here at this strange place.

But another memory flashed through her mind; Planet Gonalis of Galaxy IC 1101; the battles of many years ago, and the god wave. The death of the white shiny lady who then transformed into a massive lone star.

Presently, the scientists, and guards saw her eyes shiny, and open. They were perplexed; unaware of what to do, except only calling more guards to come in.

She raised her hand, and pushed it through the strong force field, like it was nothing, tearing it to the side like it was just a piece of fabric.

It sparkled and disappeared as she raised herself up; they were about to shoot at her, but Stewart yells, 

      “Don’t shoot!”

She stood up; as she was shiny allover now, that they blocked their eyes with their arms, due to the bright light. She was Sophie; the young girl. And victim of the god wave. Should be 19 years old now.

     “I have no stake with mere mortals like you… puny lives”, she spoke in double voice.

It sounded like two people spoke at a time. This surprised the scientists even more.

She spread her arms wide, and light shone from her body even more, as she levitated, wind was also howling around her, pushing them backwards.

She disappeared suddenly, and everything was normal again.

      “They should have shot that bitch! Are you crazy, Stewart?”, Thomas asked out of anger, but Stewart replied calmly, 

      “Would have been waste of bullets; definitely she’s not just like we are… she might not be human”, Stewart spoke with a smile

      “Then what could she be?”, Thomas asked

      “I listened to her words carefully,” Stewart started, “she has nothing to do with us, and I think we’re only alive because we might have saved her life, or kept her away from a danger which might have been after her when we found her”

       “So, I don’t think she’s human… I never thought this would happen, but I’ve heard stories similar to this”, Stewart continued, but Thomas sighs and cuts in, 

      “Just go straight to the point”

Stewart smiled sinisterly, and said, “Well, I think she’s a god… or should I say… a goddess”

(LOS ANGELES)

(HOSPITAL)

The hospital wasn’t too busy this morning; few doctors were moving around, attending to patients; the atmosphere was cool. 

A female doctor donning an unbuttoned white coat was walking; she was putting on a white shirt, with red leaf designs on it, accompanied by blue jean trousers and black high heel shoes which were shiny and reflective; she was in her mid-20s from her looks. She had a curly black hair; she was holding a file in her hands as well.

She heaved a sigh, and pushed a door open; room 107. 

On entering, a man was seated on a chair while a young guy was on a bed. The man looked up to see the doctor, and he approached her, 

      “Will he be fine?”, the man asked hurriedly, while she replied saying, 

      “Mr. Allen, we can only try, but we’ve been trying over and over again… his case seems different”, she said.

      “What do you mean?”, Mr. Allen asked

 Mr. Allen was the same man who was working on a project when the god wave struck him and his son in 2012.

      “From the reports, before his case was handed over to me, this started in 2012, that’s 9 years ago. When you brought him here; he was in coma for 6 months, and when he woke up, he felt normal; we didn’t even detect a problem, then after that… you brought him here the same year that he passed out suddenly after screams and sharp pains in his head. We didn’t read anything wrong with him”

       “He claims he hears voices calling out to him… but there's so sign of mental issues… we don’t understand this exactly… and from time to time this happens, and for 9 years, it hasn’t stopped. This is one case I don’t even understand, but we’re doctors, we’re gonna try our best”, she finalized.

Mr. Allen sat on his chair again; he breathed heavily; he still hasn’t lost hope that his son would be back to normal. His son; Robin Allen who was now 22 years

       “If his case isn’t something we can handle… well, I believe it’s supernatural. I shouldn’t be saying this as a doctor, but It could be”, the doctor said.

       “Okay, thank you… Doctor…”, Mr. Allen said; stressing the last word as he didn’t know her name

       “Doctor Trisha… Trisha Morgan”, she said; before taking few steps closer to Robin, “I’ll check how he’s doing”

       “Okay. He could wake up suddenly, like he does”, Mr. Allen said, then it happened as he said; Robin opened his eyes suddenly and sat up sharply; startling the doctor, but Mr. Allen wasn’t moved by this. He only went closer to his son. 

Trisha panted heavily, she looked scared; she hadn’t experienced this from him before, but his dad was used to it. Robin was panting heavily, looking at the left and right, and uttering some words which they heard, 

       “Planet Gonalis… Gonalis… Gonalis I have to find the others. War… no, destruction… I have to go!”

Trisha was confused, even his father hadn’t heard this one from him before.

Robin began to shake suddenly like he was vibrating, Mr. Allen quickly moved backwards, 

       “You should keep a safe distance doctor”

Everything electrical that generated light began to brighten up so much that it sparked and exploded; being destroyed in the process. Mr. Allen and Dr. Trisha maintained a safe distance as they watched this happen; Robin still vibrating and holding the bed, his eyes began to blare light, and his hands which held the bed began to generate light too; almost burning it.

Trisha rushed to a tray, and picked up an injection to tranquilize him, but as she tried to inject him on his arm, the injection melted as it made contact with his skin, which the glass broke. 

She fell on her butt in fear, while Robin stared at her now looking angry; gnashing his teeth, before yelling so loud at her that she couldn’t hear any other sound.

(A DARK PLACE)

Two green eyes shone suddenly and this brightened up the dark place a little, and the face was quite visible; it was the same one who had tagged along in the battle on planet Gonalis, and also the secret master of the strange man.

He smiled, revealing his teeth, and chuckles wickedly, before speaking, 

       “I sense it. Yes, I feel it… the time is coming again. With her, we will find the great prize, and the quest will be completed. I’ll inform my messengers telepathically… they must find her first…”

He cackled and laughed as much as he wanted; like he was filled with so much joy, until he shut his eyes; leaving the place dark again, as his voice faded.
