When Hero’s Emerge

It is Samuel’s intention to destroy the portal on both sides and stop the creatures from ever crossing the threshold into our world again. Although it is too late to save our friends, Samuel will do all in his power to save our world.  In true form he burst through the portal with guns blazing, bringing down the creatures as they run for cover. As a soldier Samuel has the training and keen sense to defeat our enemy.  The creatures were unprepared for the carnage and now many lie lifeless inside the room that marks our escape.  When Samuel leaped beyond our world into theirs he assumed that I was dead.  He had no way of knowing that I would be waiting on the other side.  Thus when I realize that I am no longer alone in this alien realm, I call out to Samuel in an effort to lend aid to his quest. For the first time in what seems to be forever, there is hope. Even if we don’t escape, I will not die here alone.  Together we will fight and attempt to do the impossible.

When Hero’s Emerge

When I passed beyond the portal, the room was sealed and filled with a poisonous compound. It was the intent of my captors to execute my colleagues. The doors to the chamber were sealed closed and a toxic gas filtered through the vents. The room quickly filled with the poisonous toxin and my companions feel into a deathly slumber and there they will remain entombed within the chamber for all time. However Samuel was prepared; he has seen first hand the consequence of war. As ammunitions expert and a soldier of fortune a gas mask is a necessity. Unfortunately the others weren’t equipped with the life saving apparatus. Thus they perished inside the chamber, but Samuel would not let their deaths be in vain. Samuel vowed to change the course set in motion by our unearthing and destroy the portal before it was too late. Thus as soon as the toxin dissipated he prepared for the end. He set an explosive device inside the chamber that will destroy the portal and ensure that the creatures can never again enter our world. Samuel knows better then to leave anything to chance. He realizes that the portal must be closed on both sides in order for mankind to be saved from a fate that is far worse then death itself…

When Hero’s Emerge

It is at this moment that my heart stands still. How can I alone defeat these beings? Therefore I accept my destiny, for alone I am no match against them. I close my eyes and await what fate intended. I feel a gust of air and hear the tempered cries of the creatures as they rush past me. I hesitantly open my eyes and see them running; panic and confusion has taken hold and they pay no mind to my presence in the corridor or to their fallen comrade. Then from inside the control room a welcome sound emerges, one that I had thought was lost to me forever. Not that of an alien race but that of my own kind, and what follows is the thunderous bellow of bullets echoing through the chamber. Somehow my friend had made it through the portal and he was here to save mankind from a devastating future or he will die trying. I call out to him for I know that the portal must be destroyed, even if it means that we will remain on the other side of humanity.
