BOOK FOUR

CHAPTER ONE

The alarm blasted into Copeland’s brain as he stormed through the corridors on his way to the deep underground complex which housed the ancient sarcophagi. Men and women in white lab coats staggered past him, moving in the opposite direction, most of them bloodied.

As he arrived at the open door to the elevator, a group of the corporation’s soldiers joined him, including a few Alkrons. They went to move through the door, but he held his hand up.

“I must do this alone.”

Footsteps came from behind. “Umm… sir, I should go with you. They will not talk our language,” said Galen. He was holding a computer tablet in his hand.

Copeland nodded and they both stepped over the threshold into the elevator. The doors closed and the metal box plunged through the depths, coming to a stop a few seconds later.

The door opened to a scene of devastation. Pieces of desks, computer monitors, plastic binders, a chaos of scientific sundries lay scattered amongst the bodies of those who worked there. The metallic smell of blood would have been glorious to Copeland if it were not for the fact that he feared he might be next.

Three statuesque men were huddled over the remains of humans, their extended teeth sunken into the flesh.

Copeland wondered if they even knew he was there.

Galen went to walk forward into the room but Copeland threw his large arm out, stopping him. Each of the individuals that had come from the coffins looked up in unison, staring at their unwanted guests.

One of the men, whose hair was of the golden variety, and hung on his shoulders, slowly stood and walked forward towards Copeland and Galen. Despite his obvious size advantage over the muscular man who was approaching, Copeland had to resist the urge to close the door and send the box back upwards towards the surface and safety.

They are here. This is what I wanted.

He stepped over the threshold but, before he took another step, the half man half vamp moved to him in a blink of an eye. A furious blur which grabbed him by the arm and, in one continuous movement, flung the demonic being through the air, slamming him against the nearby wall.

The angry creature then moved towards the human, cowering against the back of the elevator.

Shaking the pain from his physique, Copeland staggered to his feet.

“No!” he shouted.

Galen’s tablet translated the word into ancient Sumerian and blurted it back out in the direction of the thing bearing down on him.

The man stopped, his face one of confusion. The two other men were now standing. The third, the tallest of the three walked forward, stepping over pieces of bodies and furniture alike.

The blonde-haired man spoke. The words were abrupt but soft. A language that neither Copeland nor Galen could comprehend, but the computing device translated anyway.

“A… human… machine…” came from the tablet's speaker.

Copeland stepped forward. “I want to help you…” he said towards the individual who seemed to be in charge of the other two.
