In the rooftop, the doctor and I were sitting on the edge of the balcony taking watch, the doctor having equipped a rifle on his hand wearing a mask a eyepatch covering his right eye, and a dusty robe, while I sat by his side equipped with a torn out cloak and four pistols with 20 bullets on each gun.

  What we're even the use of four pistols if we're supposedly fighting an endless army, well it was my mistake after all I shouldn't have played around with that stupid notebook...

  Well, I think this is gonna be the end for the two of us might as well spend my final moments wisely.

  "Hey doc, I haven't got your name yet." I turned to him while he was rapt in the moment.

  "Sactus, that's my name." He replied

  "What a weird name." I laughed while staring at the vast wasteland, Sactus; what kind of name is Sactus anyways.

  "Well what's your name then?" Sactus asked.

  Name... now to think of it, my parents never actually named me—they just called me kid whenever they would talk to me... should I be concerned?

  "Well... I don't have a name." I replied with my chin resting on my finger.

  "You're the one to talk."

  The blazing wind blows forth while we silently stared at the never ending sunset descending down the high mountains from atop the vast wasteland, what if there was another land atop those rocky walls... so close yet so far.

  "Hey doc, you're smart right, tell me... what's above those walls?"

  "Land." he answered.

  "Doc, this is land."

  "No it isn't, this is the sea." The doctor said.

  This man must've lost his damn mind.

  "Doctor, do you see any kind of liquid anywhere?" I asked him

  "Hell no."

  "Then how the fuck is this the sea?!" I shouted pointing at the dry land with an open palm.

  "Jeez do I have to explain everything to you... I'm not a living encyclopedia just pointing out." Sanctus replied looking at me with his restless eyes

  Sanctus cleared his throat for a moment, "So basically, the land we're resting upon used to be the Pacific Ocean."

  "Pacific what?" I said with a puzzled expression.

  "Shut up and let me continue, so... before we we're even born all of this land used to be water and these ground we're stepping on are called trenches, and above these trenches are called continents where civilization lies."

  We both locked eyes for a moment, the doctor sighed in realization and rolled his eyes and made a fist slamming his palm after every word whilst pointing to the tall mountain.

  "Okay, this is before is water, and this trench is DEEP, super deep deep and that big big wall is people do you get it?!" Sanctu explained agitated.

  "I understood you the first time!"

  "Then why the hell we're you staring at me as if every word I said passed through your other ear?!"

  "Why is the moon falling down?!" I pointed at the ball as a screaming sound from the distance grew closer as the ball grew closer.

  ??TRIAL WILL NOW COMMENCE YOU HAVE 24 HOURS 'TIL THE TRIAL ENDS

  SIDE NOTE: IF YOU KILL BARAM THE TRIAL WILL AUTOMATICALLY END

  Good Luck.??

  "Well kid that's not the moon!" Sanctu said jumping off the roof pulling me with him as the two of us landed back first on the ground before the gray ball turned the entire house into rubble.

  Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

  "Whew... good thing I placed the drawer outside." Sanctus said as he sighed in relief.

  "The entire house just got destroyed and the first thing you thought about were your books?!"

  "Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death."

  "What the hell are you talking about?!"

  "That doesn't matter right now, look behind you!"

  I turned behind to see a dysmorphied dog-like creature with three heads a human head on the middle with it's tounge sticking out and two other heads of dogs drooling as their jaws slowly disintegrated overtime somehwat resembling as the middle head's ears—the tail made of multiple snakes pointing at me as it hisses violently, some of it's flesh torn out with patchy fur and it's spine sticking out it's back.

  The dysmorphied dog lunged at me with it's tail but before it could even lay harm on me the doctor shot it's human head dropping dead in the ground.

  "What the hell is that?!" I stood up frantically pulling out two of my pistols in alert just incase any more monstrosities decide to show up.

  "Serebi, these are cannibals who ate dog DNA and their tail is very dangerous their only weakness is the middle head so aim good."

  "Wait so you're saying these things used to be human?!"

  While my back was turned a Serebi tried to lunged behind me but before it could reach me, the doctor pulled the trigger blowing up it's head.

  "Focus, just shoot everything you see they're no longer human and these things would eat you up raw!"

  After those words three of these monstrous things appeared blitzing towards us growling manically, I aimed my pistol as these hounds quickly tried to close the distance.

  I shot my pistol three times, killing both of the dogs but the third shot grazed the other dog's eye; as it tried to lunge to me I kicked it's chin before pulling the trigger again killing the dog.

  "You've got some moves kid, where'd you learn that?!" Sanctus asked as he shot three more Serebi lunging towards our direction.

  "Do I look like I know?" I replied kicking the Serebi's jaw dislocating it before crushing it's head with a single stomp.

  "Holy shit doc, did you see that?!" I laughed hysterically in excitement while the doctor aimed at me shooting his rifle hitting the Serebi jumping toward me.

  "The only thing I see is an idiot letting his guard down." The doctor said as he quickly reloaded his gun before hitting one of the charging Serebi's with the bunt of his rifle before exploding the top part of it's head into small bits.

  There didn't seem to be an end to these dogs lunging towards us I kept of shooting the Serebi's as they mindlessly rushed toward the both of us like zombies starving for brains, but the only difference is; zombies are a thing of fiction, but these damn things are real and relentless!

  As I shot one of the Serebi, a zipping sound was quickly building up to our direction. Sanctus while shooting the Serebi's charging at him, suddenly ducked and fired a shot from a blank distance, suddenly, a large tentacle blitzed towards above Sanctus's direction.

  "What the hell, tentacles?!" I thought out loud, as Sanctus jumped out of the direction as the tentacles and Serebi relentlessly attacked him, in a moment the doctor took out his pistol,

  Time froze for a moment as the doctor stared onto the sight on his pistol, the barrel facing towards a tall jawless creature with thin hair slightly covering it's entire face, the creature didn't have a natural anatomy like the Serebi, yet it seemed to only support itself with it's spine and furry like veins on it's back looking like some kind of wing made out of countless shrapbel.

  The warm breeze turned into a cold breeze for a moment as the eyepatch slid away from Dr. Sanctus' right eye, the eye was glimmering in a dark purplish color with some kind of ink spreading throughout the entire right side of the doctor forming a thorny pattern.

  "May your life flow freely as it breaks you free from control, yeild!" Santus chanted as a bullet hit the jawless monster's head from a couple kilometers away from his current distance.

  Suddenly, time resumed and the Serebi around us exploded i to bits while the jawless monster faded into glowing ashes with the other Serebi around us.

  The doctor coughed up blood looking at his palm with a vexated glare.

  "Doc, did you just see that?! The Serebi suddenly disappeared!" I told the doctor, in shock of the sudden disappearance of the monsters around us.

  "Yeah... I wonder." Sanctus replied, I turned to him as I saw him with his eyepatch still wrapped onto his right eye as he reloaded his rifle.

  "You think that tentacle guy was Baram?" I asked Sanctus as I reloaded all four of my pistols one by one.

  "No, that's not Baram that's a Tetraben it's a evolved version of the Serebi." Sanctus said, as he attatched a bayonet into his rifle.

  "Baram is a dog-like creature, with both attributes of the Serebi and the Tetraben. We may have fended off the first batch of Baram's army but there are still more to come, and once we defeat the other batches with ease Baram will come to us himself."

  Meanwhile from a far land...

  A young man wearing a gray coat was sitting by his desk inside a luxuriois room as he was sipping on some kind of blue liquid, he was playing a game of chess with what seemed to be a man with a alluminum mask and a black trenchcoat, not revealing any skin.

  The masked man moved his piece with his mechanical fingers as he exhaled after creacking his neck, he slouched back for a moment as he looked outside the window where lies a technologically advanced city covered in darkness inside a dark dome, the yellow lights shining from atop somewhat imitating the starry view that you'd normally see in the night.

  "Seriously... taking all the damn water and food for yourself, how petty do you want to be? ." The masked man said.

  "Oh I'm not petty, this right here is called the privileges of intelligence. Well... enough of that; so, tell me brother why did you come to visit? I know you didn't just come for some quality time, my clairvoyance says otherwise."

  The masked man groans in annoyance as he wrapped his iron fingers around his mask.

  "Ugh... Seriously? Can't you just turn that off while we play this stupid game, that's cheating you know!" said the masked man as he leaned forward.

  "Well, as I expected you won't answer the question... well then, I'll be the one asking you a question instead." The man in the coat moved his piece with a smirk on his face.

  "Is it about the kid? Maybe Sanctus? What... you still can't move on over the fact that he doesn't want to work for the family anymore?" The masked man intoned in a distorted voice.

  "It's about that slave." the coated man rested his face onto his palm.

  "Slave... you still refer to THEM as slaves. Maybe you're forgetting the fact that those slaves we're the same ones who brought him down." The masked man moved his piece.

  "Well of course, that's their main purpose in life is following a stupid book; what else do you want me to called them? Rebels may sound accurate, maybe freaks could even do." said the coated man

  "But in all seriousness, Scavenger. I want you to make a deal with me." the coated man added.

  "What kind of deal?" The Scavenger asked.

  Suddenly, the door opened as a woman bowed down face first into the ground, wearing somewhat of a butler's attire.

  "Herr Professor, I've got readings-"

  In a flash, the woman's head was sliced clean off as the professor took a sip from his lemonade.

  "Pardon me for a moment brother." said the Professor as he walked towards the decapitated head of the woman, he raised it up looking at it as blood drips all over the floor while also staining the man's shirt.

  "Whenever you address me, it's der Gott... you have no right to calll me Professor you povertous scum, look what you did to my shirt and my floor..."

  The decapitated teared up for a moment as it blinked.

  "der Gott, forgive me... please, let me have a chance to speak." The decapitated head spoke.

  "I'll give you 20 seconds to speak... before I feed your severed head to the Serebi outside the dome!" The professor shouted as he gripped the severed head's hair tightly as the body shivered in pain.

  "Danke der Gott, there was readings from the Fabrika earlier which gave the location of a massive burst of core energy in a middle of a barren wasteland, which seemed to have some effects to the vesselbearer."

  "Sanctus maybe?" the professor asked.

  "There may be a chance sir, the readings matched with der Helfer's core ene-" Unable to finish the sentence the severed head blown into bits as blood spattered all over the professor.

  "Ugh... the taste of poverty disgusts me...." The professor turned to the Scavenger walking to the chair for a moment as the professor sat down, reaching to his pocket tossing the keys on the table knocking down the pieces."

  "I'll have to be somehwere, you can borrow my room for a while." said the Professor.
