《(OLD VER.) TRX's Adventures》Day 5: Flight and Swim
Advertisement
It was dawn. TRX and the others woke up. Green adorned the entire landscape. The winds caressed our protagonists as they observed everything around them.
They went to explore the surroundings. Visited a river that was close to them. There they took a bath. The crystal clear water was refreshing.
Then they went outside and lay down in the sun, drying off and resting.
- Hey... Does anyone know how many days we've been here? - asked Roundy.
- It's impossible for us to know, but I estimate three days. - said Pointy.
- I already want to go home... This place is very lonely... It scares me. - said Roundy.
- It scares us too, but we don't even know where we are. - said TRX.
- ...What do we do? We can't do anything... - said Blocky.
- Poor things... - said a hoarse voice in the distance. - Getting caught up in a conflict beyond their comprehension...
The group was startled after hearing that voice and turned to see where it was coming from.
It was about 20 meters away. It was someone whose face could not be seen because he was covered with a cloak. His cloak had several colors, to be more exact, it was blue and crimson red... And other, but mostly those. It also had a kind of v-shaped accessory in its forehead, it seemed to be made of gold.
- It is truly unfortunate... To be taken away from your home to fulfill a mission of which you don't have the most miserable idea... And to be forced to fulfill it... Although, to be honest, it's the first time something like this has happened... I won't allow you to continue advancing, it took us a long time to seal this world, the one that started it all.

- What are you talking about? - said TRX.
- Seal this... world? - said Roundy.
- So you're their comrade too? - said Blocky.
- Yes, the first monster said something about unsealing this world and something about a Hero. - said Pointy, looking sideways at that individual. - Tell us what the hero is!
- No. I will not... I have a lot of things to tell you, but it's impossible for me... I'm sorry... You must die.
He finished saying that, and it began to rain very hard and the powerful winds made Pointy unable to maintain flight and was swept away by them.
While this was happening, that individual jumped in Blocky's direction and attacked it with his right hand, from which a blade came out, but Blocky protected herself with a barrier of ice and made spikes come out of it, which pierced that subject... But what was on the spikes was only his cloak, he had disappeared.
Everyone was looking at the cape with surprise and, out of nowhere, that man, with his cape and all, appeared behind Pointy, who was floating, and gave him an elbow that made him fall.
- What? - shouted Blocky when she saw that.
- Watch out! - shouted Roundy, too, when he saw the enemy's movements.
The caped man quickly approached TRX, running with his arms behind his back... And he tried to stab TRX with his blade, but TRX was more agile and dodged it, stepping to the side of the blade and nimbly getting behind him to make him fall.
- Blocky, now! - shouted TRX.
- Huh?
Blocky, who was a few meters away, began to freeze the raindrops that fell on the guy. These turned into a kind of blades and, apparently, damaged the subject, who did not expect such an attack. From his body came out a red liquid that the group had never seen before.

- That was... Surprising, I have to admit... But... Are you ready for this? - shouted the man, who, still lying there, clapped his hands once and a tornado appeared in the distance. - Grand Tornado!
- W-What's that? - asked Blocky.
- It can't be, that... Is that wind? - said Pointy, who was being healed by Roundy. - Roundy, get away from me!
- ... It's okay!
Roundy moved about 25 meters away from Pointy. Pointy, seeing that Roundy was in a safe zone, launched himself towards the ground and exploded, making a deep hole.
- Come on, quick! - shouted Pointy to the rest.
They all went to the hole, which was about ten meters deep.
- Blocky, cover the roof quickly! - said Pointy.
- Okay!
Blocky did as they told her. She covered the hole with ice.
When the tornado passed over the ice, it began to break it. Blocky did her best to keep her defense from breaking, but she was getting tired. Roundy healed her during this time so Blocky wouldn't get tired.
The tornado then drifted into the surrounding areas, destroying everything in its path.
At this time he began to approach the man, who was still not recovering from his wounds.
"I see what you're trying to do.... They are truly impressive creatures. Despite being the first time they've seen a tornado, they made a quick hypothesis of what it can do, and planned something to defend themselves.... Truly, they are amazing. Due to the divine wounds my body received, I won't be able to survive Grand Tornado's power.... Heh, not bad though... To perish by these beings... Although, in the end, this is all my fault, I shouldn't... I shouldn't have..."
That man, after saying that, received a full on attack from his own Grand Tornado, disintegrating from its power.
After perishing, everything calmed down. The group was under the ice for a while until they realized that everything had calmed down.... And they began to hear the birds singing.
When they came out, everything was shattered. It was a very depressing sight.... But in the skies they could see birds!
The group was surprised by this too.
They moved away from the battle site and went to a more peaceful place: a forest a few miles away.
On the way they passed by a river, which also ran through the forest, and found that there were many different colors and shapes of fish in the river.
When they reached the forest they also saw birds of all kinds and colors.
- Seriously, this reminds me of something. -said TRX.

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.

The Swarm – a world spanning empire – feared by everything and everyone. Endless glory and food to all! No sickness, no poverty, no depression and no allies. Truly, the perfection of life! However, nothing lasts forever; not even the Swarm... The cowardly major races teamed up in an unprecedented alliance to fight the Swarm, but even that was not enough. What brought true doom to the Swarm came from the inside: a high-ranking General’s betrayal!
