January 6th, 2687

With a shaky breath and eyes brimming with tears, Drew dashed into the storage room of his house and crouched behind a huge box. The continuous running had exhausted him. He placed his hand over his mouth to suppress the voice

of his breathing.

Drew was completely hopeless at the moment. He had no idea what he would do next. His parents had been killed by Mecca Police. They were continuously getting offers to leave Mecca, one of the many planets that had been colonized after the Earth became unfit for life. However, his parents had refused to leave Mecca. And its consequence was Police killing them and now they were coming for Drew too.

His heart stopped for a moment when he heard some footsteps coming towards him. He silently prayed that they will not enter the room. Unfortunately, that didn't happen.

As soon as the door slid open, Drew made his way to another door that connected the storage room with his bedroom. The door scanned his body as he ran towards it and then it opened. As soon as Drew passed through it, it closed again.

However, Drew knew that the doors couldn't stop the police. The door's scanner was built to stop thieves, not police. As soon as the scanner would detect police badge, it will open.

Drew headed towards the window to the left of his study desk. He pressed the button at the bottom of the window and the shield that gave protection against any impurities of outside environment got disabled.

Drew was just about to vault through the window when his eyes spotted his study desk. The new gadget he had been working on was lying on it.

He grabbed the gadget which was shaped like a ball and as soon as the police entered the room, he threw it on the floor in front of them. The gadget emitted out a bright light which blinded the police. When the eyes of all policemen open again, they found their vision distorted.

Drew took use of the opportunity. He grabbed his backpack, which had all the gadgets he had created, from the chair and then escaped his house.

The chase, however, wasn't over yet. As Drew pushed his way past the pedestrians, he saw police cars after him. They were flying just a foot above the ground.

The situation caused the pedestrians to freak out and they started running hither and thither. This made it even harder for Drew to run.

Nevertheless, he continued running until he saw a huge building.

"Open Slot six." he commanded to his backpack.

The slot six opened and Drew's 'Climber', as he called it, came out of the bag pack. Drew grabbed those gloves and wore it in his hands while running.

He then headed to the building and started climbing to the top of it with his gloves.

However, Drew hadn't yet mastered his gadget and his hands kept on slipping as he tried to climb up. On the top of it, the police started firing Stunners at him. One hit by Stunner could make Drew's body freeze for half an hour.

He climbed in a zig zag pattern to avoid the Stunners which were missing him by just a few inches.

Drew finally managed to climb to the top of the building. But unfortunately, he wasn't rid of the police yet. They had followed him to the top of the building as well and their cars were flying just overhead him.

Drew continued running on the terrace of the building until he reached the edge of the building.

"Surrender to us. We promise we won't hurt you." the police's voice came from the car.

"I'm not surrendering to you beasts." Drew jumped from the edge of the building towards the next building.

Time slowed down for him for a moment as he covered the gap between the two buildings. But then, his Climbers stuck to the wall of the building and he started climbing to the terrace of the next building.

He reached the top of that building and then continued running. There wasn't much gap between the next building as well and he was about to jump to the next building as well when suddenly everything went wrong. He got shot with the Stunner.

His body stopped all of a sudden. He tried to move his hands but they won't budge anymore. The stunner had temporarily froze his entire nervous so that his brain could no longer control his body parts.

The police cars landed on the top of the terrace and the five policemen got out of their car. One of the policemen took out the handcuff from his pocket. The handcuff was made in such a way that if the prisoner would try to move his hands, he will get a shock.

Drew was just about to get handcuffed when a car suddenly landed on the roof. The policemen pointed their guns at the car.

But just then, a policemen received a shot on his head and fell down to the ground. And before the other policemen could react, a red glowing prism was thrown at the edge of building from the person inside the car.

The policemen all turned their attention to the red prism, waiting for something to happen.

The person inside the car took full opportunity of it. Suddenly, the car door opened and a teenage boy came out of it. He had clear white skin and brown hair, which was hidden by the hoodie he wore. His face too was hidden by a black scarf he wore that had the design of a dragon.

He was carrying a gun that was too big for his size. Yet he fired at the distracted guards with perfect accuracy and within seconds, the confused policemen became the victims of his firing. He had killed all the policemen in just a few seconds.

The teenager then walked to Drew, who still couldn't move, but had seen the entire action. He took out a strange green disk from his pocket and as soon as he pressed it over Drew's body, the effect of the Stunner died.

"Hi, I'm Zack." the boy said, extending out his hands to him.

Drew nervously shook hands with him.

"Thank you so much for saving my life." Drew thanked.

"You don't have to thank me." Zack said. "Get inside the car. I'll explain you everything."

Drew hesitated a bit before finally entering the car. As soon as Drew entered, Zack ordered the car computer to go back home.

The car took off in the air and zoomed way from the building. And with that began a new phase of Drew's life.
