Hero System! Transported to Another World

Chapter 40: Reapers

Alex scratched his head, he didn't know what to say, "I don't know how I can do that. I'm just a C ranked awakened at this moment."

Buster smiled when he heard Alex, he shook his head, "It doesn't matter for now. I just wanted to get that out of my system. For now, ignore what I said. All of this will be for the future."

Alex nodded when he heard Buster. He started to ponder about his world, 'The powers here all came from the gates but I never saw or heard anything related to gates in my own world. The first time I saw it was yesterday, And now I'm in another world. But what If these gates were hidden? But that can't be possible I really wonder, Where did all of those heroes get their powers from when we didn't have a sign of the gates The more I think about that world, the more I'm convinced that they were hiding a lot of things from us.'

As Alex continued to ponder, The car slowed down and eventually stopped. He looked outside to see that they weren't in a city environment anymore, they were in the middle of the forest.

Alex looked confused for a bit but shrugged, 'I must have zoned out for some time to have missed us crossing into the forest.'He looked outside and saw a small facility. Around it was many guards, all heavily armed.

The car stopped outside and a few guards walked towards them. They seemed to check who was inside but didn't conduct any form of search. "They would normally search the car and everything but As I'm also a member of the facility, We don't have to go through such a check." Buster smiled as the car moved past the gates

As the car entered the facility, Alex could see Sir Fire standing outside of the facility doors. He seemed to look concerned when he saw the truck.

Buster walked towards Sir fire and said with a serious expression, "It's serious"

Sir Fire nodded and looked towards Midnight and Alex, "please come, tell me everything in detail. The reaper will be taken in with the help of the staff."

Alex and Midnight nodded and followed Sir Fire inside the facility. As Alex entered the doors, he noticed a huge multitude of technology that he had never seen before. Sir fire took the three to a flight of stairs heading downwards.

"It's an underground facility so we have to head down the stairs." He smiled as he walked down the stairs with Buster.

Alex and midnight nodded as they and followed the two. It seemed like midnight wasn't also familiar with the facility. Sir Fire looked behind towards Alex and smiled, "We only have stairs for more security reasons. Some technology here causes emp bursts and even though we keep it far away, it's a better idea to not have any elevators here just in case."

Alex and Midnight nodded when they heard Sir Fire. His explanation made sense to them.

The 4 could hear roars and screeches echoing from below. Buster shook his head when he heard the screams, "Why are they so rowdy today?

Sir Fire shook his head, "I don't know, it's been like this since morning. I came here before our meeting and they were getting a bit feisty even early in the morning. But now, it's just wild here."

The four walked down the stairs. As they did, Alex looked around him. The hallways were dark with only a small amount of light. The walls and floors seemed to have been made from thick metal. It looked extremely secure yet the darkness gave the entire place an eerie presence.

They followed Sir Fire towards a huge room. Inside, a few people were on computers doing their own jobs.

Buster looked towards Sir Fire and said, "Shall we begin?"

Sir fire nodded and looked towards Buster with great curiosity. Buster began to explain everything that happened with the gates. He went into great detail on what occurred.

As buster explained, Sir Fire's expression started to turn grimmer. He looked towards Buster and said, "It seems like my fear was true, these reapers are just the beginning. This was more than enough proof. Buster, can you remember the reports on the "Monster" gate"

Buster nodded, His face sank, "I do These reports were all from survivors Although it happened in another nation, we felt the energy surge here as well. Speaking of giant creatures coming from the gate, although there were no reports of speaking, the people did say that they heard mumbles. Random mumbles and hums."

Buster sighed, "I think the thing we heard wasn't a reaper Or at least it had evolved to the point of speaking like one of us"

Hearing Buster's words, Alex quickly spoke up. "I do have to say something, I think that it was a reaper You all know that I came from the gates I survived huge 7-8 feet tall reapers Well, I also heard them speak They were communicating with each other in words, playing with us, and killing us like bugs. I was lucky to survive"
