“Any text from him yet?” a lady with slightly aging hair asked. She had dark bags under her eyes, and was sitting at the dining table facing a man with a deep tan across his body. The man also had aging, gray hair, but he didn’t seem as tired or stressed as the lady.
“No, unfortunately,” the man replied, “He’s always been bad at texting back, but it’s been a week already. Something’s wrong. And I think you know it.”
“And what are we supposed to do now, huh Son?! Just up and go out and look for him? That doesn’t make any sense!”
“Don’t worry T. You know we’re going to figure it out soon enough. He isn’t the only one who’s disappeared. Hundreds of reports have been made to the police about the disappearances. Something big is going on.”
“Brother, do you think the police will even bother doing something about this?”
Son narrowed his eyes at his sister and frowned.
“Tracy, we aren’t in the West. We’re in the United Republic of Democracies. There’s a reason we moved here besides just the cost of living. This mansion we live in also comes with little to no corruption and a different system of how universities work compared to the West,” Son reminded her, “Remember what people said about this place? No longer would we have to spend hundreds of thousands for the boys to enter college- it’s all based on your grades. Get good grades, get into college. And your chances wouldn’t get thwarted just because they need diversity-”
Just then, a boy the age of 13 walked into the room. He had a bit of face fat and was a bit chubby, but he still seemed to be outgrowing Tracy and Son in height. He had Tracy’s brown eyes.
“Uncle?”
Son turned to the boy.
“I’m kind of in the middle of something Franklin,” Son said with a tinge of annoyance.
“It’s important. Trust me. It might give a lead on…”
Son groaned and got up from his seat, his knees stiff. He walked downstairs to the living room, and Tracy followed. There, the TV was on, and the President of the United Republic of Democracies himself was standing there in his suit with his five secret agents by his side.
Each secret agent had their own respective color for their suit. Franklin thought they looked like the Power Rangers when they first moved to the URD… but nowadays there was no more time for joking around.
“Dear citizens of the United Republic, I come to inform you of something absolutely tragic,” the President announced with a booming voice, “The seniors of Terran High, who were just about to graduate…”
“Have mysteriously disappeared approximately a week ago.”
Son narrowed his eyes.
The picture shifted to a picture of the night sky.
“After reports from the National Space Institution, they detected a new star that has appeared in the night sky, one that fades colors of green, blue, and then red at a time. It’s none we’ve ever seen before, so using our telescope…”
The picture shifted again to a strange island, but there was something different about this island… a few miles off the sea the sea was immediately cut off by a mysterious barrier. A forcefield, even. Hovering over the island were three giant, metal towers, each one glowing red, blue, and green. Connected to the bottom of the strange island was a strange, unknown metal that connected to an overarching station. It was out of this world, literally!
Son’s eyes widened.
“Wait, that’s-”
The President continued to speak.
“We aren’t too sure what this is, but it seems to be the most likely place the scholars were transported. It’s almost like a lifeboat of sorts. We don’t know why they’re there, but we’re looking into it, rest assured.”
The President continued to speak, but Son couldn’t concentrate. That island in the sky…
“Don’t you see now Uncle?” Franklin said, “It’s just like that game we played.”
“The one us three used to play all the time,” Son said.
Tracy looked confused.
“What?!”
“That game with the dinosaurs,” Franklin reminded Tracy, “Remember that Mom? We used to talk about it all the time!”
“If it leads to my son, then that’s all that matters.”
Just then, a ding came from Son’s phone. He pulled his phone out of his pocket, and saw a notification on that platform for the game they played. He opened the app up and saw an urgent message.
It was from a man called Warren, and he was a deputy sheriff of the Star City area.
And he too, suffered the same loss as Son.
“What’s wrong, Uncle?” Franklin asked. Son smiled.
“I think I have the lead we need to find our missing boy,” Son grinned excitedly. He pocketed his phone, grabbed his car keys, and began to make his way out to the front door-
“Hey where are you going?” Tracy asked with crossed arms. Franklin stood by her side. Son turned back.
“Just making a trip to the police station. Seems to me a sheriff’s also suffering the same problem as we are. I’ll have a talk with him, team up, and we’re going to find our loved ones together.”
Franklin ran forward, and clutched onto Son.
“Wait, bring me with you, I can help!”
Son ruffled Franklin’s hair, and gently took his arms off him.
“Sorry kiddo, this is a grown-ups only trip. I’m not letting you go with me.”
“But I can-” Franklin paused, struggling to find his words, “I can help! I know I can, I’ve saved my brother before, he knows!”
Son chuckled a bit.
“In ARK, yes, but not in the real world. Just let me handle it, okay?”
Son opened the front door up, and walked out, closing the door behind him. Their dog began to run up to the front door, whining sadly. The French Bulldog sat down, staring at the door sadly.
“It’s okay, Franklin,” Tracy reassured her son. She put a hand on his shoulder, “The grown ups will figure it out themselves. Now go to bed. It’s getting late, and I want you to get some rest. You have a long summer break ahead.”
Franklin frowned, and hurried upstairs to the bathroom to brush his teeth.
Franklin locked the bathroom door, staring at the reflection in his mirror. He stared at himself for a moment, before looking down at the palm of his hand.
“I really wouldn’t have minded saving my brother one last time,” Franklin thought, “It would have been nice going on another adventure…”
Teal blue sparks shot out of his fingertips, but then died down.
“But I have luck on my side,” Franklin whispered, “And so he’ll be fine.”
For a second, Franklin could see him and his cousins, and his big brother, in the reflection of the mirror, each one standing side by side and smiling. They didn’t know their days together would be numbered at the time. Only his brother knew.
It was the same as how his brother didn’t know of the things they’d gone through together.
Franklin smiled at the memory. Then, he took his toothbrush and began to brush his teeth, the reflection of his family fading away from his sight.p
I am seeing lots of negative comments here, but a liopluerdon is rare, and saying negative comments isn't really helping. But thats just my opinion, its your choice.
Some rare creatures aren't strong. Like unicorn, and liopluerdon. But go ahead. Not my desicion, your choice.
