Ages ago, in the times of old, there was a powerful nation known as Dallenbale, unbeatable, prosper and dominating as well as one of the most advanced cultural cores in the entire world.

They accepted anyone who would want to come and join their ranks, during the Great War it was this country which protected the entire planet from the Outer Invasion, as they called it when ‘they’ came from another world looking to expand their territories.

This nation fell into the ruin when its defenses were destroyed and it allowed the powerful invaders to reach the planet’s surface, which led to nothing but a huge planetarian-scale massacre.

Which once was a huge massive nation soon became 5 countries, in 5 different territories separated after the war in this small planet caused a huge struggle that divided the planet’s surface into these many regions.

After invaders were defeated in their home world; the Black World they started retreating from all the battle fronts scattered across the galaxy, leaving behind a road of death and destruction.

Remaining humans managed to take over all the huge disaster brought to their home world, exterminating the left-behind invaders and all of their allies, and manages to seal and imprison the most powerful of them, from now on known as the “APB”.

These powerful creatures; Considered to be the last ones of their species were put to sleep by centuries in the central region of the now called Wastelands of Dallenbale, one of the few survivors from the invaders was captured, and it was all what could be done, due to the massive loss of lives it was decided just to seal him into the bottom of the prison f Madanbelle, long ago known as the Royal Palace of Madanbelle.

Centuries later, as the biggest prison in the world, Madanbelle saw countless soldiers dying while controlling the powerful beasts being held in there.

The great kings and soldiers of old sent help, from the Ancient Guardian himself, to the Queen of the Realm of Geneva, and the armies of the Federation and many others that put order back few after the end of the Great War.

Many stayed in this little planet, and these many newcomers helped to forge a new future for this devastated planet, but nothing could be done with the weather, awfully altered during the massive battles.

And in the present times, Madanbelle is now home for this powerful creature, whose origins were now lost in time, few remained that know his true origins, where it came from, what is him and why was he sent there.

But this monster was not the only problem, those known only as APB; beings of an unknown nature and powers, totally sealed in their battle capabilities and condemned to be in prison until the end of times.

Creatures of some species that could be tought to ever exist, despite being sealed, manipulating them was extremely dangerous and hence, totally prohibited by the four governments.

There was no way what hidden powers could they have despite their seals, the only things known were only what they could see in battle.

In the passing time humans learned how to deal with them without being in direct contact, but what they didn’t know was that these creatures took their time to learn everything about their weak enemies.

The time had come finally after centuries of imprisonment…

A time of great changes for this world was what awakened these creatures from their slept, rebellions, rotating armies in the wastelands; everyone knew something new was coming, even these monsters…

-We have only one more chance; some of the most destructive APB’s are locked here with me…- His breathing was slow and steady, and he made sure the surveillance microphones caught it.

His red glowing eyes were something mysterious for the common humans, this strange glowing was something common in his entire equals, no matter if they were old, younglings or adults, that glowing was common, but after centuries there were few like him…

That same day, Rubik and some of his companions were watching the surveillance recordings in the control room, the camera showed him being sat in one position, and those fearsome red glowing eyes moving from one side to the other of his face.

-What is he doing? - One of the men asked confused.

-We don’t know; he just sat there; the same place every day, as if he was looking for something, but he does not do anything else…- Replied the in-charge-officer.

Rubik then asked.

-How deep is that cell?

-It is quite wide; it has 200 meters deep from the gate to the bottom wall…

-You know… When we were called to the lower level hours ago, that thing; I felt like he was staring at me…- The young prince replied.

All others looked at him with surprise.

-That’s impossible! At least not from that distance! - The in-charge-officer replied.

Other of the men said then:

-Maybe… Maybe there is something we still don’t know about this creature… We shouldn’t go down there until we find out some more information… This is very risky…

All other agreed.

-He has shown a high intelligence over the years… But he has made no attempt to communicate with us, or to anyone who has tried to get close to him…

-Perhaps he knows already who are important here and who are not…- Rubik answered while watching one of the recordings. –Not many high officers go down there so…

He was suddenly stopped by one of the officers from the surveillance room.

-So… Did you just say he stared at you?

-Yes? Why is that? - Rubik answered again.

-You are the youngest son of Landia’s King right?

-Yes… I… I am? - He said in confusion.

-Why don’t you go down there and try to have a chat with him? – The officer replied.

-What the fuck?! Why should I do something so dangerous?! – He yelled. But after thinking a little, he stopped his rabble and said he would go only if they allowed him to go heavily armed.

While they were preparing Rubik to enter the chamber, prior talking to the Chief Commander; someone was listening from outside the surveillance room.

-The young prince is going to enter…- After that, this man stopped talking and retired from there.

His companions prepared him with a full equipped heavy armor and a sword and his mandatory assault rifle.

He was escorted to the main gate of the last level, where the cells of the APB’s were locked, and let him enter.

There was a total silence in the huge cell block, the only thing that could be heard were the steps from Prince Rubik walking down the center of the main hallway that led to the cell block.

Rubik was a good boy with his family, the beloved youngest brother, cheerful and educated not only with his father, mother and sisters but with all his people, and now; after leaving his family in Landia, decided to go to the wastelands to train and become a powerful soldier.

A huge dark blue-skinned hand with five silver claws popped out the darkness of the biggest cell, and the young man could eventually see his face popping out as well.

Sharp silver shark teeth, with a silver shell covering his face and head, it was impressive, but his lack of eyes was what disturbed the young prince the most, the intricate pattern of that kind of silver helm on its head gave it a smooth appearance, and as told before, the lack of his eyes was concerning, but somehow this creature was well aware of the movements of that small human standing in the middle of the huge cell block.

The other huge hand of this enormous creature grabbed another of the gate’s bars, but it wasn’t showing any aggression, but a slightly curiosity to see a lonely human in there. But this creature was not the only one looking at Rubik; he was so astonished by the presence of such a huge creature that he wasn’t even aware that the red eyed monster was also looking at him.

As soon as he felt the other presence, Rubik pulled out his sword and kept it firmly held with his right hand, and pointing at that aggressive presence.

Those red eyes were staring at him, the monster was not doing anything, but Rubik on the other hand could feel an immeasurable blood thirst coming from that thing.

While he was looking at those red eyes, he also caught a glimpse to something shiny right below its eyes, five small blades that gave a light glow and then disappeared in the darkness of the cell.

The young prince was hesitating, that powerful aura was enough to intimidate him to the point he dropped his sword and just fell to the floor, heavy breathing and sweating.

-You should not have come to this place alone, young human…- A deep voice said. Said voice was coming from the red eyed monster. –Your people never taught you that you must never face one of my kinds on your own?

He was terrified; absolutely terrified.

-I know you are one of the royalty ones in the world outside these walls young boy…- The voice replied calmly.

Rubik heard the sound of someone sitting down; it was the monster that did it, he was close to the cell’s gate but still in the darkness so nobody could spot anything from him.

-You are scared young boy; it’s obvious; remember that your ancestors were truly warriors who face millions like me in the past, and those of your kind now are nothing compared to them…- He spoke again.

The young prince looked calmed after the first shock, but the monster didn’t let him react as he continued his speech.

-…Did they tell you all why we are kept here? What are we? Or maybe; who are we in the first place? Because I refuse to think that a bunch of mindless human beings were capable of defeating us…

The young prince didn’t know what to say as the monster continued.

-May I ask who am I talking to? – He said.

Rubik did not answer, he was still in shock.

-Are you scared? Surprised? This is maybe because you were thinking of me as a brainless animal, but you’re wrong young boy; I am just as intelligent as you, I come from an advanced civilization like yours, and just like you and the men who are watching us now, I as well have curiosity about your world…

-Wha… What are you? – He babbled.

-My race has had a lot of names since the beginning of time, but the most common name you used is “Neo Terrans”- The monster replied without hesitation.

-Neo Terrans…- Rubik hesitated a little.

-Yes young boy, we are similar to you humans, but quite superior in almost everything, basically that is why we managed to control the whole galaxy…

-And why did you come here in the first place? -Rubik asked again, with the curiosity of a little boy.

-I suppose I could tell you everything I know this far…- The monster replied again.

-Will you kill me if I happen to know too much?

-There will be plenty of death eventually my young boy…- The monster stared in direction of one of the surveillance cameras, as if he was teasing those listening to him.

Meanwhile; in the surveillance room…

-…”There will be plenty of death?”- They got nervous about that. -…What is he talking about?

They were not aware that this information was being leaked away from the wastelands…

The panorama on Al Maghrib was but calmed; there was a raising tension in all parts of this country, in the street public broadcast system the Fürer addressed to his people.

-My brothers and sisters! The time has come for us to take what belongs to us!!... – Hundreds of thousands of people were listening while doing their daily chores as usual, as in markets, factories of even the outposts.

The Fürer continued his broadcast.

-“…Every single one of you has showed your loyalty to your country, and it is time for taking up the next step towards the progress of this great nation!!!... We cannot let our neighbors to take the advantage on the technological advance, and all this time we have been saving all of our resources has come to an end!!!”

People in the squares, factories and the army reserve forces who listened with whole attention claimed aloud praising and cheering his absolute leader.
