Broken Mask
Maeson stared at the young boy standing in the elevator. The dark gold light in the eyes of the boy glowed with a sick heat. Fresh red blood dripped from the broken silver mask onto the clean glass floor. Maeson felt deep cold fear."Who are you?" Maeson demanded. He took a slow step backward away from the golden eyes. "Where is my sister?"The boy tilted his head. He smiled a very sad smile. "I am the original spark," the boy said softly. "The dark magic you woke up on the mountain was just a small piece of my power. The old billionaire was just a weak vessel. He could not hold the true energy. But your sister is different. She is a perfect battery. We needed her to absorb the surface magic so we could find this deep city."Maeson clenched his fists tight. His blue wrist tattoo burned bright hot. "If you hurt her, I will delete you from this whole system."The boy laughed. The sound was like breaking glass. "You cannot delete me, architect. I am not a line of code. I am the physical
Silver sword
The tall man in the white coat spun his silver sword. The bright metal hummed with a strange power. Maeson stared at the silver mask covering the face of the stranger. The man stood tall and strong between the deadly machine and the frightened little girl. The red light from the eyes of Ava flared brighter. She did not like this new enemy. She raised her right hand again. A second beam of hot red energy shot out of her palm. The masked man did not move away. He swung his sword and cut the red beam in half.The broken red light splashed against the metal walls of the street. The heavy heat melted the smooth stone. Maeson pushed himself up from the hard ground. His bones ached with deep pain, but he ignored it. He ran toward his sister and grabbed her small hand. He pulled her behind a crashed flying vehicle to keep her safe. The young girl shook with fear. Her brown eyes were wide open. She watched the masked man fight the glowing woman. Maeson peeked over the broken metal edge. He nee
The protocol
The cold wind screamed past the ears of Maeson. He fell fast through the empty air. He reached out to grab his little sister. She was slipping away from his fingers. He looked up and saw Ava hovering in the dark underground sky. She was not falling. Her bright eyes glowed with a deep blood red fire. The purple energy from her father was gone. A new power radiated from her pale skin. She flew down like a fast bird and grabbed the strong arm of Maeson. She caught his sister with her other hand. Her grip felt like cold iron.Ava lowered them safely to the nearest metal street. Her bare feet touched the smooth ground without making a single sound. Maeson stumbled forward and pulled his young sister close to his chest. He expected to see fear in the face of Ava. Instead, her expression was blank and empty. The warm and brave billionaire heiress was gone. The red light in her eyes pulsed with a strange rhythm. It matched the blinking lights on the tall city towers around them.Ava, Maeson w
Artificial intelligence
Maeson stood very still on the sinking metal balcony. The cold air rushed past his face. His glowing wrist burned with a strange heat. The sharp blade pressed against the soft throat of his young sister. The possessed man who used to be the father of Ava smiled. The purple light in the eyes of the old man looked very cruel.Do not hurt her, Maeson said. His voice was low and tight. You want the throne. You want the power of this underground city. Take it all. Just let my family walk away right now.The possessed man let out a dark laugh. His voice echoed across the open space. You do not understand your own legacy, the entity said. This city is built on your original code. The people down there are waiting for their true architect. They will never follow a fake ruler while you still breathe. I need your blood to unlock the final command terminal.Ava took a slow step forward. Her face was pale, but her bright eyes showed pure anger. Dad, she said softly. I know you are still in there
The Army
Maeson pulled his sister behind him and gripped his heavy black bag. The thousands of glass tubes stood open like hollow graves. The ancient warriors walked out with slow, steady steps. Their skin looked like gray stone, and their eyes burned with the same harsh purple light he saw on the mountain peak. They did not speak. They did not scream. They just stared at him with empty, cold hunger.Ava stood by the metal door. She pounded her fists against the cold surface, but it did not budge. "We are trapped," she yelled over the rising hum of the chamber.Maeson looked at his computer. He held the screen up to the light. The warriors were closing the distance fast. There were too many to fight with his bare hands. He needed to find a way to hack their internal systems. If they were connected to the ancient network, he could force a system reset. He began to type with frantic speed. His fingers felt stiff, but he refused to slow down.The first warrior reached out a long, stone-like hand.
Ancient
The bright red laser dots danced across the chest of Maeson. The heavy wind from the five black helicopters beat down on the mountain peak. Loose dirt and small rocks flew through the cold night air. Maeson shielded his eyes and quickly stepped in front of his young sister. Ava stood frozen right beside him. She stared at the tall man walking out of the dark cave. It was her father. But his face looked wrong. His skin was pale like white marble. His eyes burned with a bright purple fire."Dad," Ava whispered. Her soft voice shook with pure terror. "How are you alive right now? I watched the dark magic take you in the testing lab."The rich man tilted his head. His movements were slow and stiff. He did not look human anymore. "Your father was weak," the man said. His voice was a blend of two different sounds. It was the voice of the old billionaire mixed with the deep ancient tone of the dark magic. "He wanted power to rule a small world. We want to cleanse this whole planet."Maeson t
