Capítulo 1: Chapter 1: Strange Ocurrence at Goldenville

‘Does the teacher really need to use that boring of a tone? As it’s not enough having to wake up too early. Could it all be a ploy to force me to sleep in class and get expelled?’ Kai thought as he followed the lecture with the eyes but not with the brain.

His eyes were drawn to the interior of the classroom. Everybody was quiet but not quite following. Colleagues’ eyes fighting to remain open. Cellphones being used under the desk. Drawings skills being improved over the desk. It was a normal day at Goldenville High School.

‘It doesn’t help that nothing happens in this boring place ever…’

Kai glanced at the girl in the second row. The highlights merged well with the shiny bright long hair.

‘Aimee seems to be the only one actually paying attention to what the old man says.’ Kai thought.

Unlike the other students, she was always too into the class. And after the classes ended, she would often leave early and spend the interval on her own.

‘What a strange girl…’ Kai contemplated.

Kai was never the popular guy. He didn’t like drawing attention. He sat in the middle because he wanted to be forgotten in the middle of the crowd. He didn’t act like the tough guy neither he wanted to be the weird guy. He was the regular student who talked about school but wasn’t really involved with anyone.

The bell rang. Some students got all happy and began packing their things.

‘Wasn’t there another class after this? Oh yeah, it’s physical education. Some people love that one…’

Kai sighed and began packing his things, unmotivated.

‘Well, at least today is basketball, I like that one…’ He thought while he descended the stairs, taking care to drag himself for the biggest time possible.

‘…I like it because if I’m late I get to wait in the seat and just watch.’

The ball bounced fiercely, echoing the whole court. As expected, Kai sat down and watched as the minutes passed by.

“They sure are lively, heh? They put so much effort into it.” His short colleague said as he came and sat down at his side.

“Yeah…” Kai agreed. In his mind, he thought: ‘He is like me. He just wants to pass the time. He always comes and starts some talk but I never remember his name. I guess it’s too awkward to ask now in the middle of the semester…?’

“Wow, look at that!”

Rick, the beefy guy of the class row scored a three-pointer.

“He does that a lot, doesn’t he?”

“Yeah, he’s really good.”

“If I want to throw stuff fifteen feet in front of me, even if my eyes could picture the action my arm would probably go like… Six or less.”

“…And to the wrong side.”

“And to the wrong side.”

The class went by as Kai and the colleague sat down watching, and then met its end. It was the last one of that morning. Kai could finally fetch something for lunch.

As always, everybody ran away from the school when the bell rang and Kai was left alone as the last one in the locker room. He was too unmotivated to even change the physical education uniform and get his things.

‘I’m beat… And to think I have that part-time job today…’ He finally decided to get up. He then proceeded to pack his things up very slowly.

‘Silly people. The outside won’t run away from you. It’s like they are racing the bell.’

As he got up, Kai noticed something shining coming from Aimee’s locker.

‘What? That locker is opened? That girl forgot something here…’

He went to the locker and saw a shining thing. It was a very strange object. Unlike everything he had ever seen. It was made of some kind of bright golden metal. The shape was irregular and the purpose was unclear. It was a bent cylinder with some points coming out from it. Several holes over the surface drew some sort of distorted face. At least in Kai’s mind, it reminded of a face.

Kai got too curious and grabbed the object to look closer.

‘What is this? Decoration? No… It’s too ugly for that. Then maybe it’s some kind of memento? Or maybe one of those foreign worshipping objects? Why would someone bring this to school?’

As he touched the object, the sensation in his hands was very odd. It didn’t feel like the thing looked it would feel. It felt colder. And maybe softer. It was almost like the thing was alive… Trying to adjust to the warmth of his hand.

“Ouch!”

Kai felt something piercing through the palm of his hand. He had the vivid impression the object spiked him.

‘What the…?’

On the next second, he could swear he saw the object moving. He got so scared he trembled and the object fell from his hand on the floor, making an echoing loud noise which covered the whole room.

‘Sh*t! Did the thing just bite me? And I let out a dumbass scream too…’ Kai realized as he gazed at the object, now inanimate over the floor.

‘All I was trying is being nice and getting this thing back to Aimee but if she hears her thing rolling on the floor, comes back to pick it and sees it was me who dropped it…’

Kai looked at his hand. It was covered in blood. It didn’t hurt at all, it seemed one of those shallow wounds which bleed far more than they should.

‘Dammit. I should go to the infirmary or something…’

Kai decided bending over to get the thing again before his thoughts turned reality. As soon as he did so, he noticed a shadow covering the sun which hit the floor from the window. It seemed to be from someone standing by the door.

‘Uh oh… And she actually came to get it back.’ It was the first thing he thought.

He looked at the door direction but he didn’t see Aimee. Nor a human. Instead, he saw the shape of a big canine figure. It wasn’t quite a dog. In fact, it seemed covered with spikes instead of fur. The face seemed frozen and devoid of emotion. The bizarre figure seemed to stare into Kai’s soul.

‘What the f…!?’ he dropped the thing on the floor again. With the noise, the creature started running away.

“Hey! Wait!”

All Kai could think at the time was chasing the thing in order to make sure he wasn’t hallucinating or anything.

The canine figure was very fast. As soon as he left the room, he couldn’t see it anymore in the corridor. It had already vanished. But he could still follow the noise of its feet. It sounded like it was running up to the second floor, toward the lady’s room.

“Wait up, you…” Kai would scream as he chased it down, even though he subconsciously knew screaming was useless.

As he got close to the bathroom door, he heard a high-pitched scream.

“That voice... Aimee?”

The bathroom was the type that had that door that closed automatically after the knob was released. It seemed to have been just closing after someone got in. He breathed in, grabbed the knob, and pulled it open again.

When he opened, all he saw Aimee, who seemingly had been thrown to the ground. At first glance, he could swear there was nothing else there. He thought about asking, but as he blinked, when his eyes opened, he saw the creature standing next to her, staring with that same frozen expression. Like it had been materialized there.

Kai let the door close back him. He didn’t know exactly what was going on, but the thing looked dangerous.

“Aimee! Watch out! I’m going to grab it!”

“No! Go away! You don’t know what you’re dealing with!” She screamed back.

Kai’s head was overtaken by doubts:

‘What…? Go away? And leave you like that? What do you mean with don’t know what I’m dealing with? And do ‘you’ know then? What the hell is going on here? What is this thing?’

The questions were numberless, but he didn’t have time to think. All he could see was a regular unknown animal who had just pushed a girl and was trying to eat her or something. He grabbed the handle of a long mop that was leaning to the wall and began trying to scare the animal away.

“Take that, you little…” Kai threatened the thing swinging at it.

“Kai, no!” He heard Aimee’s voice again.

The wild thing jumped at him at great speed. It was faster than he could have anticipated. It felt like a bad dream where an unknown animal jumps at the dreamer covering the whole screen and causing the dreamer to wake up.

The view getting covered with the spiky fur of that thing was the last thing Kai saw.


Capítulo 2: Chapter 2: Dream or Reality?

“Where am I…? Did I… Die?”

Kai’s view gradually changed from pitch black to blurry. Then from blurry to almost good. Where was he?

The place seemed nothing like the school. The tiles were large and made of unbreakable glass. They were one black and one white, like a huge infinite chessboard. The tiles extended to all he could see. Who had the time to build such a thing? And why would someone build a place like that? A vast. Empty glass room with chessboard tiles. Nothing inside. Not a single person. Not another room. No walls. It was like a desert.

Kai realized he was lying down. What he thought was the floor was actually the ceiling.

Suddenly he felt the presence of something else in the room. A breath. A snarling sound. Something was there with him, and it didn’t seem that friendly.

Kai noticed he could move his body. He was normal. He hadn’t died… Yet. It would be good to ensure things stood like that.

He quickly jumped his body straight and as he did it, the monster charged with all its speed to him. He didn’t know exactly how he did it, but Kai managed to dodge the charge in the last moment, with a very accurate body spin.

“What the hell…?”

Kai felt his body was far lighter. Unlike usual, it responded exactly to his brain commands. Like the body followed his reflex. The other day he couldn’t grab the strange object under Aimee’s desk falling off his hands even though he anticipated the fall. If it was today, he’d have caught it in the air.

Kai stopped to look at the monster closely. It was nothing like the spiky dog form earlier. Some traits were similar. The color of the fur was the same but they didn’t seem that pointy. The size also had changed greatly. Now it was more like a bear standing on both legs rather than a dog thing. A bear so tall it wouldn’t fit Goldenville’s corridor of the second floor without having to lean the neck.

“This guy grew a lot heh? Maybe it’s not the same…?”

The face wasn’t also nothing like the one he saw. The eyes were smaller, pushed inside, almost covered by the fur. It kept the mouth shut under the snout. To be fair even if it was bigger it didn’t look as menacing as the one before. It seemed far more contained.

Kai for some reason knew he had the energy with him. Just like it was natural for a human to think of punching and kicking to defend himself against a threat, the first thing that occurred to his mind was ‘simply using the energy wave’ against it.

‘Yeah, when it charges in, I just extend my arm and… Wait, why do I have an energy wave?’ The thoughts went by his head.

Doubting himself a little, he extended the hand forward and shot. He felt some sort of very strong wind coming out with pressure.

But since he was just testing it got not nearly close to the bear-like thing. In fact, it caused it to become wary, as it hadn’t even tried attacking yet.

The thing was trying to charge in at first, but as it saw Kai’s attack it stopped mid-way, standing with the same expression about 40 yards away.

“Are you just going to keep standing there, ugly fellow? I can keep shooting, you know?”

The animal let out a groan. It was standing with both arms partially covering the chest. Then it opened the arms. And the chest opened together with it, like a man opening a coat and revealing multiple guns. The creature increased in width about twice when it did it.

Under the sides of the chest which were being covered by the arms. There were some holes and parts coming off that Kai didn’t understand well. It was definitely nothing bear-like, though. Kai could tell that body wasn’t of an animal but more likely of a machine. The holes and pointy parts were similar to the ones one could find in a robot under construction. It resembled an unfinished industrial robot with a fur casket protecting the view of the wires and metal pieces.

Kai took an instant to appreciate the scene: a vast unending dimension covered in black and white tiles, contrasting with the bear-shaped creature revealing its true power hidden in the chest, like a badass protagonist lifting the coat, revealing a secret weapon within his body.

“Ok. I understood everything now. I am dreaming.”

Kai smiled confidently.

He just charged toward the huge thing at his full speed. And the body once again responded just like he wanted to. It was like he wasn’t bound to his physique limitation.

“If I’m dreaming, I can just do whatever I want, right?”

As soon as he got near the monster, it used one of the arms which it had just moved away the chest to flicker at his face. The movement was fast and exact. Not even with his enhanced body, Kai could dodge the hit.

A single hit and he fell to the floor at full force, with an opaque sound.

Kai felt everything tremble as the pain infested his body.

‘Pain…? It hit me but I didn’t wake up? This isn’t a dream…? What is going on? Did I die at the school and go to hell and now I need to face the thing?’ Kai thought while his body was thrown at the floor. The bear thing opened the mouth and let out a screeching sound. The jaw when opened seemed to reach all the way to the neck, revealing a huge mouth with dark yellow pointy fingers. The mouth gap was twice the size of the closed muzzle.

“Ok, now that’s creepier than the dog at school. No time to think about any of this. I need to beat this thing.”

Kai quickly rolled to the side before he was stomped by the thing and then got up right after. He didn’t know how but the pain went away and he knew in his head that he was the one who made it go away.

‘What’s going on? It’s like I have been using these powers for a long time yet I have no idea how I got them.’ Kai thought.

This time he aimed right at the core of the ‘bear’ chest and shoot. His body could feel the recoil with the strength. He could recall scenes of himself destroying rocks with it, like had an intense training somewhere alone in a rocky beach.

Unfortunately, the damage didn’t seem to be as effective on the monster. It could stand the pain just fine.

“Uh oh…”

Kai started running away. But his mind accused him of uselessness. How would he outrun an enemy in the middle of such a vast and uniform environment? He pondered in his head:

‘Wait a second… The bear was afraid of my attack earlier but got all confident after he showed off those parts on the side of his chest. If an animal is so greatly enhanced using a certain position shouldn’t it always carry that when he hunts? Why didn’t he use that stance from the beginning?’ Kai thought as he was using every ounce of his speed to run away from the thing chasing him.

‘Either it has a limitation usage of that stance… or the things he showed when he uncovered the chest not only enhance them but are also the weak point… I should aim for them instead of for the middle of the chest…’

Oscillating in looking back and looking at his front, Kai tried aligning the monster right behind him.

‘I turned around, extend the arm then shoot. One single move.’ Kai kept repeating in his head.

Thankfully that version of the body responded exactly as he wanted. He executed the plan exactly. The aim was perfect.

The monster fell to the floor, groaning a deep sound which became almost robotic to the end.

“What is this thing?” Kai stopped and went to its direction as it seemingly had faint.

Approaching the body of the monster Kai could see that the parts where he shot were made of metal. The same shiny metal he saw on that object under Aimee’s desk the other day. He got so curious that he wanted to retrieve the thing out of the monster’s fallen body.

“What is this…? I don’t feel well…”

As Kai leaned his body to try and retrieve the thing from the monster, he felt all numb and everything began turning black.

“Is this… Exhaustion? Did I use too much power?”

Kai fell on the top of the monster, anticipating he’d pass out as well.

Then he woke up. He was back at reality.
