the void gate
1205 Words
The Dominion ship disappeared into the darkness.
And somewhere in the distance, the first Void Gate began to open.
Sami stood on the rooftop, staring at the sky.
A giant black circle slowly formed above the city. Blue and purple energy twisted around its edges.
“What is that?” Sami asked.
The mysterious voice answered inside his mind.
The Void Gate.
Sami stared at it.
“A gate?”
A doorway between worlds.
The Gate suddenly became larger.
BOOM!
Thunder shook the city.
People stopped in the streets and looked up.
Cars began stopping.
Phones came out.
Then something moved inside the Gate.
Sami stepped back.
“What is coming through?”
Something the Dominion wants you to see.
Sami's expression changed.
“Why me?”
The voice didn't answer.
Suddenly, a loud roar came from the sky.
Several small creatures flew out of the Void Gate.
They had dark bodies and glowing red eyes.
People screamed and ran.
One creature flew toward a group of people.
Sami reacted immediately.
Blue energy surrounded his legs.
WHOOSH!
He disappeared from the rooftop.
He landed between the creature and the people.
“Get away from them!”
The creature attacked.
Sami raised his hand.
A blue shield appeared.
BOOM!
The creature slammed into it.
Sami pushed forward.
Blue energy exploded from his hand.
The creature flew backward.
Sami stared at his hand.
“I actually stopped it.”
The mysterious voice spoke.
Do not celebrate yet.
Sami looked up.
More creatures were coming through the Gate.
“Yeah…”
He raised both hands.
“…I noticed.”
Three creatures attacked at once.
Sami jumped over the first.
He dodged the second.
The third almost hit him.
He moved faster.
Blue energy covered his feet.
He appeared behind the creature and blasted it away.
Another attacked.
Sami blocked it.
He created his blue energy blade.
One quick strike sent the creature flying.
Sami landed.
His breathing became heavier.
“There's too many.”
Then the ground shook.
BOOM!
Everyone stopped.
Something huge was coming through the Void Gate.
Sami looked up.
A massive armored creature stepped out of the Gate.
Its body was covered in black armor.
Red energy glowed from its chest.
Sami's eyes widened.
“What is THAT?”
A Void Guardian.
“Can I defeat it?”
There was silence.
Then the voice answered:
If you survive long enough to try.
Sami sighed.
“Great.”
The Guardian jumped from the sky.
BOOM!
It landed in the middle of the street.
Cars were pushed aside by the impact.
Sami raised his hands.
“Come on!”
The Guardian charged.
Sami jumped.
The Guardian swung its arm.
Sami dodged.
He landed behind it and attacked with his blue blade.
The blade struck its armor.
Nothing happened.
Sami stared.
“You've got to be kidding me.”
The Guardian turned around.
Sami barely escaped its next attack.
He flew across the street and crashed into a wall.
He slowly stood.
“Okay…”
He wiped the dust from his clothes.
“…I need a better plan.”
The voice spoke.
Its chest.
Sami looked at the glowing red energy.
“The core?”
Yes.
The Guardian charged again.
Sami waited.
Closer.
Closer.
Then—
WHOOSH!
Sami disappeared.
He appeared above the Guardian.
Blue energy surrounded his entire body.
He raised his blade.
“VOID STRIKE!”
BOOM!
The blade hit the glowing core.
A huge blue explosion covered the street.
The Guardian stumbled backward.
Sami landed.
For a moment, everything was quiet.
Then the Guardian stood again.
Sami's eyes widened.
“No way.”
The red core became brighter.
The voice suddenly shouted:
MOVE!
Sami jumped.
A dark blast hit the ground where he had been standing.
BOOOOM!
The road cracked.
Sami landed several meters away.
He looked toward the Void Gate.
More creatures were appearing.
“This isn't an attack.”
No.
“They're building an army.”
The Dominion is using the Void Gate to connect their world to yours.
Sami looked at the Gate.
“Then I have to close it.”
Yes.
“How?”
The voice became silent.
Sami frowned.
“You've got to be joking.”
Then the blue symbol on his hand began glowing.
Blue energy surrounded his body.
His feet slowly left the ground.
Sami looked down.
“Wait…”
He was floating.
“I can fly?”
Control your energy.
Sami rose higher.
He smiled.
“Okay.”
He shot toward the Void Gate.
But suddenly—
A dark portal opened in front of him.
The armored hunter stepped out.
Sami stopped.
“You.”
The hunter looked at him.
“You should not be here.”
Sami raised his blue blade.
“You said I couldn't protect my family.”
The hunter remained silent.
Sami's eyes narrowed.
“Well, I'm going to prove you wrong.”
The hunter raised his weapon.
“Then prove it.”
They charged.
Blue and dark energy collided in the sky.
BOOM!
Sami attacked.
The hunter blocked.
Sami moved faster.
The hunter struck back.
Sami dodged.
Their attacks continued across the sky.
Then the hunter suddenly grabbed Sami's arm.
“You still don't understand what you are.”
Sami broke free.
“Then tell me!”
“You are the host of something far older than this world.”
Sami froze.
“What?”
The hunter opened a dark portal.
“Ask your voice.”
He disappeared.
Sami stared at the empty space.
“What does he mean?”
The mysterious voice remained silent.
Sami became angry.
“You keep hiding things from me!”
No answer.
Then the Void Gate began shaking violently.
The entire sky turned dark.
Sami looked upward.
Something enormous was moving behind the Gate.
Two massive red eyes appeared.
Sami stopped breathing.
“What is that?”
The voice finally answered.
But this time, it sounded afraid.
Sami…
“What?”
That is not part of the Dominion's army.
Sami stared at the eyes.
“Then what is it?”
The voice whispered:
Something even the Dominion fears.
The creature slowly moved closer.
The Void Gate expanded.
Buildings shook.
People ran through the streets.
Sami looked toward his home.
“My family…”
He clenched his fist.
“I have to protect them.”
Blue energy exploded around him.
He flew toward the city.
But behind him, the creature began stepping through the Void Gate.
And far away, inside the Dominion's headquarters, the shadowy leader watched everything.
A soldier approached.
“The Void Gate is unstable.”
The leader didn't move.
“Let it open.”
“But the creature—”
“I know.”
The soldier looked confused.
“Then why are we continuing?”
The leader slowly smiled.
“Because SAI will come to us.”
Back above the city, Sami looked at the enormous creature.
He knew he was outmatched.
He knew he was afraid.
But he also knew he couldn't run.
Sami raised his blue energy blade.
“My name is Sami.”
The symbol on his hand glowed.
“But they call me SAI.”
The creature roared.
Sami flew straight toward it.
And the battle for his world began.
