Chapter 11: Chapter 11, Space station
The door leading out of the room slid open revealing two men standing there with shocked expressions and a stick device
He could see the absolute astonishment and subtle fear that the two men had as they walked to him and inspected the room
"You. Who are you and how did you get in here, why do you have blood on your clothes?" As the man with the glasses put this question forth, the other man who seemed to be handsome to an extent grabbed the arrow sticking out of his toe
"May I?" He just nodded and ignored the first question, the handsome man tumbled back when he got out the two arrows
"Answer the question." The man with glasses said this again in a firmer tone no longer minding his voice
Sitting down on the metal bed a pensive look look came upon the man in question
Who exactly was he?
Why did he have two arrows stuck in his toes??
There was this malevolence he had since he awoke towards everything here though, it was like he did not like anything at all that was here
He did not know where it came from but....
"I don't know...I don't know who I am..." The handsome man and the glasses man both stared at him and lightly sighed, they were contemplating something
"We will leave the door open if you would like to go to the testing site, you seem to have some type of amnesia. My name is David Jordan and my colleague here is Sho, I think you have noticed that you are in space..?" He lightly nodded which indicated he understood, he was thinking of a name for himself since he had forgotten it somehow
"David, my name will be Lance"
'Null?'
"Alright well Lance when we are done with this sample testing, we will send you back to earth to help you" Nodding to them, David and the Asian guy with glasses left to go do their sample testing
The door closed and Lance lay down on his bed his black eyes seemed to glow a mysterious heat and then die down
-------
A few hours later after taking a nap, alarms sounded, and the door was open
Standing up and stretching from sleep in a daze, Lance looked out the window and saw that there was some debris in space now, and one section of the spaceship or whatever was broken apart
'Something happened..'
Walking in the circular and more than quiet passing bays, he kept looking for them but he couldn't find them
'Where were they and why is it so damn quiet??'
Instead of walking it was more so space walking since he floated off the ground while moving
The floating off the ground while moving did feel surreal but also a bit nice, every time he went to a door it opened on its own
After a few more doors he came to a bigger more spacious room that had a glass door that was broken and a corpse that seemed to have imploded in on itself
it seemed to have lost all its blood because it looked and smelled dried up, there was this pungent smell as Lance walked past it
One corridor more and there was another strange thing
On the ground there was a man who was unconscious and seemed to be strapped down, he had glasses and was African American
Going through the corridors that opened Lance saw that all of the corridors were closed except one
What he saw was something unexpected in a bad way.
A pale alien creature was on top of a body pod which he looked closely enough and saw a Japanese man wide-eyed
Lance seeing this weird pale creature, Immediately without him knowing his eyes started heating up, veins bulged and his eyes burned
He felt his eyes burning and he didn't know why they were doing this with it though came a firey pain
Lance's eyes burst out two black concentrated heat beams that got directed to the pale grey creature and got blasted off to the window overlooking space
It was a jarring moment when Sho saw the alien creature get blasted off of the glass by two black concentrated beams
Sho still in the pod could hear the alien screech loudly, it was in pain.
A loud question popped up in his head, how was it in pain when before it was directly exposed to a flamethrower?
As the screeches became louder Sho saw Lance who had mysteriously gotten on the space station pass by him and move forward to the creature
The black beams of heat came from him....
Lance didn't have a clue how his heat vision came to be but he adapted fast, the creature did not look friendly so he had no quabs disposing of it
The alien was indeed hideous after being blasted by the intense heat
Sho could barely believe the sight that he was seeing because of the fact that it looked too fantastical
Turning to face Sho, Lance had his eyes close and opened the pod
Sho cautiously got out and had a look of curiosity with a quick turn of fright when he saw the alien moving again
Lance was prepared to talk the Asian man when he also noticed that the creature started moving again, it was regenerating.
'The patience of mine is gone.'
Sho and Lance saw the creature regenerate it's burnt parts and become a little smaller
Without a second of thought Lance ran to it and blasted it with his black heat vision in full force
His hand without him knowing also touched the creature, it started to lose its mass and become smaller
After a few minutes of the heat vision blasting it, he put it in the pod and closed it
His heat vision now gone was replaced with the black abyssal eyes of his
'It should be contained'
"Are you a mutant?" Lance hearing this from the Asian man named Sho had a question mark pop up in his mind
"No, I honestly do not know either." Lance's reply caught Sho off guard because he totally expected him to say yes or no, on the contrary he did a completely different answer
'How did he do that then...is he one of them...?' [Sho]
"Well thank you for handling the creature, I really don't know if I would have gotten out alive." Sho said this and pressed a button on the door, there was a beeping noise and he spoke some words
"First before anything else. How did the thing end up here and what is it." Saying this Lance let himself float off the ground
Sho warily looked at the creature contained in the pod and lightly sighed
"We have been in space for seven hundred days and the landing at Mars was successful, we were tasked with bringing back dust materials and so...
