Chapter 2 - CHAPTER TWO: NEW

The sounds of heavy metal, work, buzzing and more filled the room. It was a factory and people were working, some carried the products into a compartment while others did different work.

"Hey, how ya doing, could you help me open this can?"

One of the workers asked.

"Sure."

As the worker was opening the can, the two men in cloaks walked in.

"Good morning Sirs!"

They all greeted. The two workers looked at them

"Hey, who are they again?"

"I think they are one of the memory keepers; part of the revival association, they own this place."

The other said

"Hey! You two over there!"

One of the men in cloak shouted, the two men approached them immediately, they pointed at a box and told them to carry it and follow them.

They carried the box together and followed the two men.

'Hmph! Ugh! Excuse me... WHAT THE HECK IS IN THIS BOX?!"

One of the men asked because the box felt heavy, but the two men kept moving, ignoring his question. As they were walking, they reached a wall, it looked like a dead end.

"So, what?"

The other worker asked. The two cloaked men placed their hands on the wall, then bright flashes of light appeared, covering up the four. As the two workers opened their eyes, they saw a dim lit room, there were statues as well as high seats, they were other cloaked people seated on the high seats while there were others working. They brought the box and dropped it on the floor.

"Why are you here? And what have you brought?"

One of the seated men asked. One of the cloaked men stepped forward, bent his head and answered.

"We've brought a body that can contain him without lashing out from the body..."

One started

"... And will be of use to us and them."

The other finished. They all stood up from their seats, and the man asked,

"Are you sure, this body can contain it, for it is very powerful?"

"Yes, it will do."

He said, then the two bowed down. The two workers carried the box and kept it aside, then one of the workers saw a light and walked towards it.

"Hey! Where are you going? We need to get the heck out of here!"

The other worker continued moving, as he was about to enter, he bumped into something and continued, he heard the other worker whimpering.

"Ugh! What is it?"

"Look!"

The worker looked and saw a dead body hung with chains on the hands, and saw plenty more.

'Aaaaaahhhh!'

"I'm so sorry..."

The workers turned and saw a black figure standing in front of them, the figure's eye shun red and his grin was visible.

"I have to..."

'Boom 💥'

The two workers necks burst, they fell on each other but the blood continued flowing.

"...Kill you"

The cloaked men came together and opened the box, they saw a bloody boy on the floor who was mildly wounded, the seated gasped in disbelief.

"Who did this to him? He should be in pieces by now?!"

One of the seated men asked

"We saw them eat him, but something was wrong, and they ran away, not even taking the boys body with him. Then I checked and found out that he was the one who could contain it."

"If he is the one we must put it in him immediately. Brethren, let the sacrifice start."

They started chanting in repeated words, the seated people got down from their seats, and they raised their hands in the air, then a black liquid but smoky form was pulled out from a statue, they all used their powers to hold it, it made growling sounds and groaned.

"This body is now a vessel to the ULTRA CRACK!!"

They all said

'Blast!'

They blasted it into Riven's body. The power was too much, the room start trembling, the other statues started breaking and crumbling, they were losing their balance. They did the final blow, a flash covered the room, and when it disappeared they saw the boy on the floor, he was perfectly fine, no scratches on him, no wounds or anything. They stood up and came to the boy, they looked at him in amazement.

" He really is the one, now the plan is coming together."

"Take him inside."

"Come on now, I just met him."

A feminine voice from above said.

They all looked and saw a girl, in a warrior suit holding a bow and arrow.

"A warrior!"

One shouted

"What are you doing here?!"

"To come take what is NOT meant to be yours, and to foil your plan."

She said

The men started blasting at her, as the blasts came, she smirked and then opened a portal and disappeared.

"Where did she go? Look around!"

They stood, looking around and getting ready to blast. As they turned, they didn't see Riven again

"Where'd he go?!"

One asked

A portal appeared and the girl stepped out of it while carrying Riven.

"See ya again Keepers."

She said politely.

The girl stretched out one of her hands and drew a circle, it began to glow in blue glittery light, she bravely walked through it and it disappeared.

'UGH!!'

THUD!

One of the cloaked man shouted, punching his fist on the wall hardly. Smoke burst out of the wall and what could be seen was little disfigured pebbles.

"We had it... And it's GONE!"

The cloaked man said furiously.

The other cloaked men came to him and put their hands on him to console him, then one said,

"At least we haven't told them..."

He paused for a bit and exhaled heavily, then he raised his head a bit showing his red eyes, then continued.

"... And they can't find out until we have it."

One of them said as he sighed heavily.

Light beams of the portal shimmered as the warrior came out dragging Riven.

THUD!

The girl fell down as she dragged Riven's arm, she sat up on a roof top as she looked at him.

"Ugh! I deserve a day off from school and work. Ugh!"

She groaned.

Then she saw how fresh, clean and nice Riven's body was, although it was shady there, it was like if his body lit up beautifully, she came closer looking at him, being amazed by his handsomeness, surprisingly fresh body and his hair.

"Woah, his body is fresher than a baby's, he was in the fight and was dragged but not a scratch?!"

She said with surprise.

"Oh, if I drag him or take him through the portal while he's unconscious, he might not make it or worse."

She thought

She sat on the roof top edge and looked around, the wind blew in a majestic way. Riven woke up squinting his eyes a bit, he looked a immediately spotted her, the smile on her face was like a smirk but cuter, her hair was blown by the wind like a wave 🌊 itself, Riven couldn't look away, he opened his mouth wanting to say something.

"H...H"

He shuttered

"Oh! Great you're up, let's go."

The girl said.

She came down and walked towards Riven and squatted to his level, she stretched out her hand towards him waiting for him to take her hand. Riven looked at her like a stranded boy.

'AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! '

Riven started running, he ran very fast and look back at the girl, he turned front and saw the girl in front of him. She stood there with the cute smirk on her face.

"Let's go fresh guy."

The girl said seriously.

"Who are you?!"

Riven asked with fear and confusion as he looked at the girl. She gave a mild smile with a grin like presence

" I'm a warrior."

She answered calmly.

Riven still put on a confused face as she answered, the girl sighed and bent her head.

"So, what battles?"

He asked sarcastically.

'Slash!'

Riven saw a sword appear right in front of him, it was sharply pointed.

"I'm a warrior and I protect people from...."

She said and paused.

Then she let down her sword and said,

"Them!"

"Huh? Who's them?"

Riven asked

"Ugh! DON'T YOU KNOW ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS HERE... ARE YOU THAT CLUELESS?!"

The warrior shouted to Riven while banging his head with her clutched fist like hitting a soft pillow. She kept banging it on his head then she hit it again, she felt extreme pain.

"Ouch!"

She said in little pain.

She looked at her fist and saw it was reddish, and when she tried to open it, felt more pain from before, she grunted at the pain and looked at Riven. He saw the girl was hurt and rushed over to help her.

"Are you okay warrior girl?"

He asked with concern.

The girl immediately opened her hand and moved back a bit, telling him she was okay.

"We've got to get back."

She said

"Back where?"

Riven asked.

The girl turned to him and asked,

"Do you feel the same, or different?"

"I do feel new a bit."

He answered.

The warrior told him that they put something in him and need to take him to know what to about it.

"Look there's something dangerous in you and for the fact, they put it in you and we immediately caught you means that it's deadly."

She said seriously to Riven.

She stuck out two fingers and drew a circle, then a portal appeared. She looked at Riven and stretched her hand out again, asking

"You want to go now?"

Riven looked at her and looked back at the environment, he saw the buildings, the trees and the people, and remembered his mother.

"If I'm dangerous, I can't hurt mom. But I'll come back for her."

He thought.

He grabbed her hand and entered the portal together. Riven saw different places, lands, seas, creatures in different portals, he gasped in awe as he saw it he looked up and saw the shimmering blue light of the portal

"Wow, this is beautiful."

Riven said nicely.

The girl paused a bit to understand what she heard.

"Thank you."

She said seriously.

"No one's ever said that about this."

She thought as she smiled.

Soon the two arrived as the portal opened up. They saw an old man seated on the floor in a mysterious room, his eyes were closed as they both stepped in, his were held together and said,

"You have returned from your mission so soon?"

The old man said as he sensed her energy.

"Yes Sensei, I've returned...."

She was cut off from completing her sentence when the sensei swiftly moved towards Riven. He stretched his leg out to Riven, he was pointing one hand sharply at him while his other hand was rested on the floor. He sensed something very reckless, dangerous and over powdered.

"Which kind did you capture?

He asked as he exhaled a bit.

The girl told him it was a boy with something in it. The sensei sniffed a bit and answered

"Let's see, shall we."
