9: The Beginning (1/3)

"Good riddance indeed ... But not like this!" Cal looked around and still saw nothing that could be of use, "might as well go back... There's nothing much here except for a useless king." As Cal walked away from the prince's grave, the fog became faint until Cal came across a misty figure out in the distance who started to walk close to cal until hr stopped and twisted his head and exposed his inner body, cal saw enough and walked far away as he could until he was stopped by another familiar figure, "my student remember." He was levitating in the sky, "Master?" The figure evaporated into nothing, Cal dashed back to the ship, already seeing enough, when he returned to the ship, he saw that the crew was gone and all that was left was the king whose eyes were gaping at a cassette tape.

Cal picked up and played it, "surprise, surprise it's me the purgist, listen we need you back and since I was sent to get your friends, I thought it would be smart if you came along with us, but there's a catch, you surrender the formula for the Z Xypher... And if not then your friends will pay the price for their misdeed... Tick tock, you are running by the clock... Visit me back in Lenin and don't keep me waiting." The cassette ended with Cal having to make a choice, he didn't think greatly and decided to surrender himself but he found something that could help him in a way. Cal drove the ship back to Lenin where he was greeted by a familiar group, "Cal! Thank goodness we found you..." Cal ignored Reeve, "Cal! Cal look at me! Look at me when I'm talking..." Cal punched Reeve in the face, "I don't have time to worry about you guys, right now I have to save my friends." Cal walked to the purgist ship where he had them, hostage, "I don't want any trouble let them go and..." The purgist had other things planned, "since you ruined ky beautiful entrance, I will be taking more than just you... I'm (stabbed)" the purgist turned around to see that the female purgist had lodged a knife in the male purgist brain, he fell to the ground while he eyes were filled with no sanity in her, she jumped on the male purgist and took all of his innards of until she slammed the remaining body parts, drenching in blood... She turned her attention to Cal, "you! You have ruined my sanity! And for that, you will not see it tomorrow!" She came dashing at Cal but he dodged most of her attacks.

He punched her in the punch, she was on the ground unconscious. "Nice job buttweld." Cal tried to deny it, "it was an accident... I didn't... Now that I think of it... She was crazy... Now im glad... Alright, let's get you guys out of here quickly." Eight, Nooz and Valid then ran away from the female purgist while Cal tripped on the Male Purgists bag, he looked inside and saw a scryb (like a normal scribe except it is more focused on what has happened and the outcome it will lead to) Cal examined it and saw that there were four people in a square-shaped ritual marking, it said the following, "for those who are yet to understand... The X Zypher was born thanks to the sacrifice of a girl but a better one had been discovered, The Z Xypher too was born but not by the blood of the girl's hut by the blood of a boy, a boy whose heart was focused on a bigger solution than what the girl had proposed, the death of the boy scarred her that she freed his soul into the stars and worth that leaving the X Zypher to create the many planets that reside in the galaxies such as Andromeda and Messier... This boy was a symbol of hope and thanks to the girl, he is reborn." Before Cal could finish what it was saying until the female purgist rose back up and burned the scryb into nothing, "now no one shall know!" She came charging at Cal only to meet her end by the purge leader. Cal ran like the wind to avoid what was happening next and found himself back in Scura and Marshall's base, "Cal! Thank goodness you're safe... Your new friends are acting crazy, they keep saying that they're remembering something... As if they are not really from here." Cal told Scura, "they're not from here... Valid is from Earth, Eight and Nooz are from another planet which I missed out about... Where are they?" Scura led Cal to them.

"(Groans) Cal thank goodness youre here, we are not all right... When we ran off we were fine but a few second later... Our bodies are reacting negatively ... If im dying then please tell my story." Cal remembered something, "that purgist, he... Must have used the plossoms( blossoms but highly dangerous and can affect someone's performance for at least 1 year) from Bêydia. Don't worry, they will only hurt for an hour but until then, you can not be exposed to the light, doing so will increase the duration and make it far worse." They understood what Cal was saying and agreed to be cautious.
