Chapter Fourteen

Aric

He went to the surface and found it in chaos.

Soldiers were running in all directions. Most looked organized, but enough of them bore panicked stares or stood looking around unsure to tell him that whatever it was, it was bad. What finally caught his eye, however, was the mass of smoke pouring out of the tunnel entrance.

“Oh shit,” he whispered, knowing full well where that tunnel led.

At the bottom of the deep shaft was a huge cavern, filled with banks of equipment and scientists monitoring it 24/7. There was also an entire detail of battlesuits and a dragon on duty at all times, watching the other thing in the room. The thing that was the entire reason behind the base existing in the first place.

The portal. It was the energy door that bound this place to the Outsiders’ home world. It was from there they would eventually pour forth once the radiation on the other side eventually decayed. Early in the days after discovery, in an effort to stem the tide of the first group of Outsiders that came through, the government had authorized the use of a nuclear weapon.

They’d fired it through the portal, and it had exploded. The plan had backfired however, and a door that was five feet high by three or so wide had exploded in size to nearly a hundred feet tall, the portal itself absorbing much of the nuclear energy and using it to expand.

It hadn’t taken the radiation with it though, and now the ground on the far side was littered with it, making it essentially impossible for even the toughest Outsiders to get through. They’d tried several times since, but the dragons and their human counterparts had cut down anything that came through with ease, the radiation weakening it too much.

Now though, it looked like something had changed.

A mighty roar from overhead caught his attention and Aric looked skyward as a red dragon, the biggest he’d ever seen, plunged toward the tunnel at a steep angle, tucking its wings in at the last moment as it plummeted into the bowels of the earth.

“Well that seals it,” he muttered, breaking out into a jog, and then a sprint. If the situation were dire enough for a dragon to fly around in broad daylight, then it could only mean one thing.

Outsiders had made it through.

A situation as dire as that, Aric couldn’t stay back and do nothing. He was a dragon, one of the few who could combat the monsters on near equal footing. Although his heart longed for him to go to Kaitlyn, to tell her the truth, he didn’t have time. His help would be needed down below, and it would be needed now.

“Where are you going?” a soldier screamed as he jogged past, trying to stop him.

“I am a fighter,” he said, his dragon shining through. “My place is down there. Are you going to stop me?”

The soldier looked over his shoulder at the tunnel entrance and the smoke spewing into the sky, and then back at Aric.
