Don't Know

“Get up Target.” I can hear someone calling me. I get my consciousness back. Brade was try to wake me up. I tried to remember what happened and what made me fall unconscious. I stood up as I remembered the red circle. “Look, we are alive. But a problem that I don’t know where we are.” Brade said.

“How can you be so sure that we are alive?” I asked.

“Because we can sense and we can move too.” He answered.

“But there’s a believe that after we die, our souls go to paradise or hell. I believe, we are in paradise. Just have a look around. This place is not on Earth for sure.” I explained.

“Alright, for one minute I agree that after death, we came to heaven. But how? I am a humanoid not a human. I don’t have any soul. Why am I here?” Brade countered.

I nod. “I agree with you that we are alive. First, because we can sense and move. But, you are not a humanoid. You have your own life. You are my life too. You are my brother. You have a soul and also, we both have a spirit of superpowers.” I explained in a calm way while slow at speaking.

Brade pushed me back at a sudden. I noticed that we are at a peak of a mountain which is not covered with Ice as normally others around are. We are on a red danger mark. The mark looks like a mark we have for indicating biohazard. Brade jumped back as well. A blue beam hit on where we were standing and a small explosion.

We stood up and started looking around for the search of the person for that attack. I noticed a girl flying towards us. Her skin is complete blue, her hairs are blue, wearing something blue and only her eyes are red. “Am I dreaming?” I said as she may be an alien. “Don’t worry you are not dreaming she is not a human and not an Earth’s creature.” Brade said. She keeps coming closer.

“Who are you both?” she started and she didn’t opened her mouth or moved it for talking to us.

“We are Humans.” Brade said while coming to me as she was closer to me than him.

“Where are you from? Which planet and galaxy, I mean.” She said again without opening her mouth.

“We are from Earth from Milky-way galaxy. My name is Target and he is my brother Brade. Now, introduce yourself to us.” I replied.

“I am from Goosialalandoi. My name is Kaiko. Whatever you said, I want you to help me after you qualify.” Kaiko replied. She always talks without using her mouth.

“What do you want from us as help?” I replied.

“Everyone here wants to go to their homes and I do. I guess, both of you want to go home too. But, we can’t go now and not all can go. Because once a super being from his own planet arrives here, he has to win the survival game to not just save his life but his planet as well. Everyone can join or create a group of 3 persons who must have qualified. The group then has to fight from other groups and robots from the survival which can have anyone’s powers. The winner group will be only one and the people of the group then will be sent back to their home planets and the loser will loose his life and the planet.” She explained everything.

“We are in. I mean we want to join your group. But, how can we qualify?” I asked.

“By just fighting someone who has already qualified, take a victory over me. We have to do it here only. We are standing on the neutralizing combat ring. We all have different gravities at our planets, we can feel the same on this ring. These are made for the qualifications. No one can pass out of the ring area till That person don’t qualify. This is why I get to know that you are new here.” She explained.

“We can’t fight. You are a girl, I can’t attack or harm a girl.” I got stressed.

“I am not a girl. I can read and understand everyone’s experiences. I sensed you too. You shouldn’t be caring about females here. We are from different planets and that makes us different by genders as well. Also, the others can use your ethics as your weakness. So, please forget all about ethics here.” She calmed me down.

I concentrate to change in Fire Flame. “From now onwards, if someone asks you your name, just tell them your super hero name and never tell them your real name like you did already and don’t tell them that you are from Earth.” She advised. I nod in answer, same did Brade. “Who are you?” she asked.

“My name is Fire Flame and he is my partner, Burner.” I replied.

She turned translucent. I started concentrating my fist to throw blasts. “Start now.” She said. I shoot a blast to her. That went through her. She didn’t got hurt as well. She swiped her hand back and forth, a blue blast came through her hand towards me. I jumped side to dodge it and rolled to stand. I concentrated and turned into blue Fire Flame. I threw a blast again. Like last time, it crosse her without hurting. “Mix both powers and shoot.” Brade said.

I concentrated and changed in myself wearing the Flame dress, the one I wore when saving others, the skin tight dress with mask, I named this dress just now. I raised my fist facing her. She stood still. Both my fists are holding flames on them but different from each other, one normal and one with blue flames. I shoot them both to her, both the blasts combined in middle of reaching her. She quickly swiped her hands back and forth to shoot me but my blast hit her. This time she got damage and knocked down and she turned normal. I turned my sight to Brade, he showed his thumb up to me.

I ran to Kaiko and helped her to stand back to her feet. “Are you alright?” I asked as she stood up.

“You qualified.” She said. I looked at Brade and she followed and she took a look on him too. “Yes, he qualified too. Both of you are from Earth, you are considered one.” She said and I passed smile to Brade and he did the same to me. We both are happy.

This happiness is incomplete. I have to do so much more to go back home with Brade and save whole earth with my people. We have to do it, we all three.

Kaiko starts flying. “Can you both fly?” she asked.

I turned my flames on and started flying. “Turn yourself in Burner now.” I said looking at Brade. He followed my lead. She starts flying away and we started following her.

I sensed danger around us. “Wait.” I shouted. We all stopped. They came to me. “We are in danger. I can sense. I am trying to understand the danger.” I said. I started concentration for revealing the danger we are in. “Get ready to fight.” I said. It took me 30 seconds to discover that we are going to be attacked.

Suddenly, an orange coloured sphere formed at the back of Kaiko as she turned she got stuck and sucked inside by the sphere. An alien appeared. “He is from the survival, he is here to kill us.” She said.

“Target!” Burner called me. I turned to him and saw him getting sucked in by similar sphere. I can see both trying to break the sphere and get free. But, sphere is too strong to break.”What do you want from us?” I asked the alien.

“Fight me. If you win, they will be free. For winning, you have to destroy me.” He answered. He raised his index finger to the ring I woke up on. “There we have to fight.”

We came to ring. The spheres came with us as well. I got angry and my flames raised. We both took positions to fight. He started first by trying to kick my face with his right kick. But, I dodged that by bending myself down. As, I stood up to normal stance, his left kick reached my stomach. Because of the kick I got down on my knees and my body got slightly bend forward. He used my shoulders to jump high. As he jumped, I stood up quickly and raised my fists to shoot him. My blasts hit him in mid air and explode him. He died to ashes.

Both Kai ko and Burner got free from the sphere as that disappeared. “Thanks and that was really amazing. You finished him by just a single blow. But, why were you kneel down? Was that because of pain or you planed it?” she asked.

“That was because of the hard shock I got from the jerk of the kick.” I replied.

“Come on we must get going.” He said. We started flying in the same direction we were flying. “Look, there’s a red flag. It appeared right now. But, why?” he asked indicating at our left. We stopped.

“That’s where we have to go now. The Faster we go the better for us.” She explained. We started flying as fast as possible to reach there.

I reached the destiny first. Burner is also near to reach but Kaiko is far to reach as she is slower than us. This place is similar to the place I woke up at. A signal of danger came to my head again. The danger is close to me and can harm us all. I took a look at burner but there was no danger around him. I turned my attention to Kaiko. I saw a missile is following her. I joined my both fists facing her and launched a beam of fire to her.

Kaiko is still coming, I stopped my beam. She must be thinking I will not hurt her. “Kaiko! Dodge that beam.” I shouted. The beam reached too close to her. She tried to dodge that by flying towards ground. Unfortunately, the beam got her back and blasted. The missle which were following her came in contact with the blast and exploded. “Kaiko!” We both screamed. We both started flying to wards the explosion’s smoke. She didn’t fall off from the smoke. That smoke is so dense that we can’t see through.

As we were flying to the smoke, we saw her falling, she came out of the smoke but she is getting closer to the ground. Unfortunately, stone spikes were waiting for her.

I started flying towards her with my full power. Because my flames can hurt her, I turned in Blue Fire Flame as I got near her. I caught her and took her to the nearest safe ground, side of the spikes. I landed on ground. “Kaiko, Kaiko.” I called her. She fainted. I saw a Cave beside me, I took her there and put her down. Burner came in the cave as well. He turned normal but wearing the similar dress with a mask. I did same as well. We are tired as well.

“You should take rest with her and sleep here. I will guard here.” He said.

“No, I am not going to sleep. It was my fault she is down now. But, you should take rest as you are tired as well.” I shouted.

I noticed Kaiko trying to sit. I helped her and put my right leg behind her to let her use that for easy sitting. “Are you alright?” we asked her in unison. She started laughing. We both started laughing with her.

“I am alright.” She continued, “Fire Flame, thanks for saving me from that eliminating missile. If that would have touched me, me and my planet would have finished. By the way that beam you shoot was really strong. I want to sleep and suggest you both to sleep and take rest as well. We cleared 1st stage and we are in a cave as well. No one is allowed to attack at the rest time. But, I want to know how did you get to know about the missile?”

“I can sense the danger before even happening of that. May be because of what made me get these super natural abilities.” I replied.

We all lied down. The night fall. I stood up. “Don’t worry. It’s sleeping time.” She said. Brade passed smile to me and we all slept.

When will I get to go home with Brade?
