“On it!” Frank yelled back. As much as he’d kill for a cherry Pepsi at the moment and his favorite Netflix show, he had a job to do.

The courtyard was littered with bodies, both of the terrorist unit and that of city protectorates. Frank sprinted to the orb as weapons fire peppered the ground all around him.

His violet-constructed armor held under the onslaught as rounds bounced off the defenses that were powered by his Will. The sphere hovered above the ground in front of him. The light humming sound the sphere made was masked under the constant sound of weapons being discharged in the battle taking place in every corner of the courtyard.

BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!

Alright, you know how to do this, you know how to do this, Frank repeated to himself as he studied the golden sphere that created the gateway. The truth was he had no idea how to turn on or off the sphere. He had always run into the gateway never having actually been the one to create it. Come on; you can create wrecking balls with your Will and imagination; you can turn off a glowing basketball.

In front of Frank, the seven rotating bands that made up the sphere were locked on to a specific coordinate. The symbols shone as if they were on fire. Frank reached out to try to turn one of the seven dials to a different emblem, hoping that would break the specific coordinates that were locked on. The dial turned with a click, but the gateway in front of Frank was still as alive as ever.

“What are you doing over there?” Sava howled as she grabbed an incoming Alf terrorist by the throat at the same time kicking out with her right foot to strike another in the center of his chest as he came through the mist.

“Give me a second,” Frank yelled back, turning dials like a maniac. After a moment of frustration, he constructed a sledgehammer in his arms. He lifted it over his head, poised to strike. “Oh, screw it.”

“Frank, don’t you dare!” Elly shouted over her comms. She ran up beside him a moment later. She pulled apart the top and bottom of the sphere. The two bowl-shaped parts opened, and at once, the gateway disappeared. She looked up at Frank with the eyes of a reproachful parent. “I’m just going to pretend I didn’t see you about to sledgehammer a priceless ancient alien relic capable of intergalactic travel.”

“Well, when you say it like that, it sounds bad.” Frank grinned, allowing his sledgehammer to deconstruct and disappear.

All around the courtyard, the terrorist faction was surrendering. It seemed as soon as they saw their hope of both reinforcements and escape vanish, their fighting spirit went with it.

As the sounds of weapons being discharged died, the cries of the wounded filled the air. It was an eerie sound Frank had heard before. One minute explosions and rounds filled the air, shattering all sense of peace. Next moans and screams of the dead and dying filled the void.
