32 — Arena of Blue Fire
The blue fire churned like an ignited ocean as it met Mike’s silhouette. For a moment, the pilot felt as if his entire body were being torn into thousands of fragments and hurled through an endless tunnel. Then, suddenly, he found himself standing in the center of the arena.The place seemed built outside of time: columns of energy rose into the void, and beneath his feet the surface shimmered with ancient symbols that lit up with each breath. Above him, thousands of creatures watched from floating stands, roaring and howling, demanding blood.The Alpha appeared on the other side of the circle, walking with the calm of one who knows victory already belongs to him. With every step, his living armor contracted and expanded as if it were breathing with him. In his hand, the energy spear burned like a captured lightning bolt.Mike had no weapons. Then he felt it. The same power that had saved him in the Bermuda Triangle awoke in his chest. His veins blazed with a bluish glow, and the air
31 — Threat of Power
Mike looked at his family, but they remained silent, staring at him as if they were waiting for the answer only he could give.The pilot had no other choice but to accept. If the man on the skateboard was telling the truth, then there was no reason to refuse his help. On the contrary, it was better to take it, since he had no idea what exactly awaited inside that place, nor what kind of expertise he might need.“Yes, we accept. Go ahead, guide us to rescue our son so we can get out of here.”The man on the skateboard said nothing. With a small tap of his foot, the device descended smoothly to the ground and, once it landed, it simply powered off. He removed his helmet, and Mike was stunned to see his face—he recognized him instantly. It was the freak, the very coworker who had made his life a living hell before this entire apocalypse began.The freak had changed too much.He was no longer that weak kid who let everyone beat him up. Now, he was a brawny man, radiating an inexplicable b
30 — The Gatekeeper of the Unknown
The Hamilton family climbed down from the ship when its engines finally shut off.Mike asked to be the first to get out, then let the others follow, since he wanted to make sure everything was in order outside the ship and thus avoid any unexpected mishaps.Mike scanned the area like an eagle perching on the highest branch of a tree to ensure that everything was in absolute order. When he confirmed it was safe, Hamilton signaled to his family, and one by one they carefully disembarked, keeping their eyes fixed on the place that lay before them.Stanford suggested they walk together as a small group, with Mike and him leading; Emily and her mother agreed, taking refuge behind the men who accompanied them in the rescue of little Matías, who they believed had been kidnapped and was supposed to be there.Little by little, they approached the large metal door that awaited them and would allow them to enter.Mike had a bad feeling about it; his skin went cold with goosebumps, making him dou
29 — Heading into Hell in Sector X-13
The house breathed again, but it was not a calm that brought peace; it was the calm before the storm. Mike rose with effort, every muscle aching, but determination gleamed in his eyes like a weapon ready to strike. There was no time for regrets, no time for words that could further break what was not yet shattered.Stanford placed his hands firmly on the table and unfolded a small parchment map he always carried with him—since the invasion, one never knew when a map would be needed, and now was the right moment to use it. On the screen appeared maps, coordinates, and a red trajectory. The device flickered, restrained and solemn like its owner.“I have the exact coordinates,” he said. “Sector X-13 isn’t marked on any commercial map, but there are access routes. It lies in restricted territory, protected by cloaking and defense networks. If we go, we must be quick and silent.”Amanda, her eyes still swollen, entered the room. She walked unsteadily until she stood before Mike. Her voice,
28 — The Revelation of Sector X-13
Emily opened her mouth to begin, but she barely spoke the first words before Mike cut her off, raising his hand abruptly.“Don’t continue,” he said, his voice rough and his eyes burning with contained fury. “I don’t want to hear it… I don’t want to… I don’t need any more details about what that bastard did to you…”His breathing grew heavy, as if each inhalation carried tons of anger and pain. Amanda tried to approach, but she stepped back when she felt the energy beginning to emanate from her husband. It was as if the air itself vibrated around him, charged with an invisible electricity that made the windowpanes tremble.“Mike…” Stanford whispered, in a warning tone, hoping his father-in-law would hold his temper—because although he understood perfectly that Mike wanted to explode with rage, this was not the time to do it, or things would end very badly for them.But it was already too late. The magic in Hamilton’s veins woke like a beast that had been caged for too long. His pupils
27 — A Truth Burning in the Shadows
The silence that settled in the living room was suffocating. The only sounds were Amanda’s and Emily’s ragged breaths, mixed with the insistent ticking of the wall clock which, surprisingly, was still working normally—and would only stop once its batteries finally ran out.No one dared to speak; they were all trapped by the same question that was devouring them from the inside: where was Matías?Mike buried his hands in his head, pressing his fists against his temples as if he wanted to rip out the pain drilling through him. The vision of the emerald light devouring his son played again and again in his mind, like a punishment he couldn’t escape.“They took him…” he muttered, his voice hoarse, almost inaudible. “And I… I couldn’t do anything.”Amanda, her eyes swollen from so much crying, gripped his hand tightly.“Don’t say that. It’s not your fault. That thing caught all of us by surprise. If we had known about it before…”Emily, however, was trembling. Her lips barely moved as she
