Friend Of The Monsters

Chapter 1————Sanities Plea

He had been walking for hours now and didn’t know where he was. The last thing he remembered was getting ready for bed, then waking up out here in the desert. He didn't seem to be injured, but he was very thirsty, it was starting to get hot, and he couldn't even see anything that resembled a road. Alex reached into his pocket; for some reason, he had pants on, but there was nothing in them. Coming over a large dune, he could see a truck in the distance. He started to run toward the truck, and as he got closer, he recognized it; it was his. How did his truck get out here? He was relieved; he got in, and the keys were in the ignition; he turned the key, and it started; he was overjoyed. However, he still saw no road. Alex looked through his whole truck for any clues as to how he got out there and why he was so far away from his truck; it had to have been miles. There was nothing in his truck that could help him figure out what was going on. Alex got out of the truck and left it running just to look around and see if he could see something. A massive unknown aircraft hovered above him and teleported him onto their ship. He was conscious the whole time. When he got on the aircraft, he felt nauseated for a short time but regained himself quickly. Two large human-like beings were approaching him; they were enormous and resembled men but were much larger. They did not come at him aggressively, so he acted accordingly. In a calm, strong voice, the one with the long white beard asked if he would please follow them, so he did. They had walked down many corridors. He said nothing and simply followed them until they came to massive gold doors. Each grabbed a handle and opened the doors, but he couldn't see inside because the light was too bright. From within the light, he heard a voice say, Come in; welcome here. The two huge men motioned for him to go in, and he reluctantly walked in. To his surprise, a normal-sized man was sitting in a massive chair. The ones that had brought him in also walked in and closed the doors. As he walked toward the normal-sized man, he heard some strange mechanical sounds behind him. He quickly turned around to see two normal men climb out of the giants that brought him here; they had just been suits. And they all looked human. Now his mind went wild. Who the hell are these guys? He turned back around to the man in the chair, who asked him to come closer. So he kept walking. When he got to the man, he noticed that this guy looked tough but seemed friendly, without fear. There is no need to act tough if one is, and this guy seemed to be the real deal. Welcome, my name is Sire 1, and the others here are Sires 11 and 13. Names of a personal life mean nothing to us. And your name is Alexander Cane? he asked. Alex agreed with a nod. I suppose you are wondering why you are here and why you found yourself in the desert this morning. Well, I would like to explain a few things to you. Many years ago, we came across a psychological file on a very young child. This file intrigued us because the content was very interesting, to say the least. Especially for what we do, Alex, we deal with the most extreme threats to humanity. So, well, we watched this child until he became a man, and we continued to watch him. You are this man, Alex. We believe you have what it takes to be one of us; we are the most elite of the elite, and we would like to train you; however, no one can know about this. Once training is done, and if you pass, you will disappear. So take this time to tie up things in your life, Sire 1 said.

Okay, you think I have special abilities or skills and that I would be good on your team, correct? Alex said after a brief silence.

"I have no idea who you think
