The Deadliest Alien Artifacts (Story Collection) (11 page)

It had added Bryson
’
s consciousness to its
consciousness when he had activated the black time probe sphere and
awakened it, and it had repaired its consciousness enough and in a
way that allowed it to repair itself further and return it to its
original condition, and it had even stored some of
Bryson
’
s
consciousness in its consciousness as it had been surprised at his
abilities to handle the most deadliest and almost impossible
scenarios!

After it had improved itself to beat the
black entity it had vanished into the future and destroyed it, and
repaired the damage that it had done.

It gained many abilities and explored
inconceivable dimensions and powers in the universe, going far
beyond its original knowledge and powers.

It created powers, going beyond anything
known, and used the powers to transform it into a real ultimate
time traveler that controlled the whole of time, and it had powers
to build universes.

Chapter 7

The Encounter

(From the novel
The Alien Artifact 5)

The scientists decided against going near the
thing and located at a place away from the stage where they could
make a dramatic exit if anything went wrong, where it was close
enough to make observations and proper surveillance to monitor
it.

The thing had resemblances to a human but
was made of energy, which was mainly fully invisible in places and
other parts became invisible or turned visible in places, and
Bryson realized it could be thought of as some form of ghost if
they encountered it on a dark night in some ancient place, like a
graveyard.

It was unpredictable in its movements and
looked wounded or something, and staggered about, and nobody seemed
to have a clue what it was! It made small leaps forward through
space, surely teleportation, and on its reappearance seemed to be
frozen in time.

The scientists about Bryson believed that it
was unstable and attempting to form and adapt into its surroundings
and become normal matter, and he realized many were keeping
secretive about some of their thoughts and discoveries.

“
It is new!
”
Mortimer finally declared, after
observing its movements, and he watched it as if he had been
waiting all his life to see it, and gasped a few times, and
examined what he was looking for, and even looked staggered a few
times.

“
What do you make of
it?
”
Mortimer eventually asked, as they sat in some seats.
“
We still have
nothing given on its identity!
”

He started consulting quietly with Merton
and other scientists around them joined in, but they still seemed
to avoid giving a firm answer or anything.

Mortimer eventually tried to talk them
into doing something, and announced,
“It seems to me to be still in an energy form and
trying to become solid, and parts of it occasionally take some
solidness! We can barely see any of its proper features though! I
think it has been altered into something by something! Perhaps to
survive here! It must have many incredible hidden powers, which we
have not encountered before!”

“
It has a very mysterious
nature!
”
Merton replied first.
“
I think it may be using some form of
technology to reform itself, and it may or may not be successful or
it may take far longer to do. It is handling the situation! Its may
be trying to adapt!
”

“
We don
’
t know what the hell that
is?
”
one of
the security guards behind them moaned.
“
Do you have a way to capture it? We
have not heard of anything like it!
”

Bryson wondered again if the two paranormal
scientists thought it was of paranormal origins and were avoiding
ruining their reputations, and a short time later he heard them
mention it in a silent debate with each other.

What surprised him and a few others the most
about them was how they reacted and treated such things when there
was a suggestion of there being supernatural there, and he wondered
again if they had something or were actually covering up something
else?

He now wondered if they actually did find
anything if they would show it, and if what they showed would it
ever be enough to prove its existence and that they were dealing
with something supernatural?

Explanations by people could easily prove
that it was not, which usually was the case, and the thing in front
of them was highly advanced and could easily be an ancient alien
form.

They started consulting with each other
openly on what it could be clearly attempting to get the others to
give them their thoughts, while leaving things open to anyone to
add to and the other scientist to add their thoughts to freely.

What they mainly agreed to was that they
thought it was new and had an entirely new status!

After a great deal of discussions and
surveillance, checking of new and old readings, and of observations
through monitors from every form of surveillance, from all the
equipment everyone brought in and set up around the phenomenon at
every good conceivable angle, they all remained set on leaving
everything on what could happen open, and they took in all the
information, and only admitted to it was more advanced than
anything that they had seen, and perhaps would see at many
angles.

For some reason it never seemed to
acknowledge them! Bryson was sure that it knew of their presence.
If it was advanced as they claimed, he wondered why it never left
there, as it could easily shift away and surely go through walls
and get away.

They continuously considered what would
happen next, as it was not clear anywhere. They would just have to
wait for whatever the outcome would be!

He was sure it was attempting to transform
into something and adapt to its surroundings, and wondered how
dangerous it could be? Could it make itself invisible? Or teleport
itself to somewhere else? Though it currently looked as though it
had limited powers or damage that was stopping it doing
something.

All the scientists conclusively had a
meeting and agreed to begin the activation of a screen around it,
where they would use anything that they could to confine it to
where it was, to stop it escaping, and work on a way of removing it
from the museum to a safe location, away from public regions.

II

The Energy Bubble

Forms of the
being consistently rematerialized and altered within the energy
field they activated around it, with it floating over the center of
the artifact, while all the scientists stood in a circle going
right around it, examining it close up for the first time, and they
stood staggered when they grasped how human it actually was, and
tried to grasp what it was doing and if it was in pain.

Bryson was
also staggered and even wondered if they were responsible for what
was happening to it, and if they were underestimating its powers
and what it would do if it freed itself?

It resembled a
magical being, or magical human! Its normal state captured their
imaginations, and they repeatedly tried to grasp what it was! What
was it doing there? Why had it chosen where it had been? What had
happened?

At times it
expanded in size and took the appearance of a shocking giant demon
shape, glowing with energy, as it altered and whirled with hideous
energy surges, while something seemed to consistently stop it
vanishing.

He wondered
what the Exploration Association scientists intended to do with it?
They surely would have to remove it from the museum? Or would they
place it there as one of their exhibitions? It was famous and an
interesting science exhibition! There was a rumor of going around
of them doing a deal and that they would leave it there until it
formed into what it was forming, or they no longer wanted it. Yet
someone might eventually remove the energy field around, and
something might happen?

It was an
incredible discovery and advertisement for the Exploration
Association and the public would love the exhibit!

The entire area at the back of the stage and
scientists was now covered in equipment and scientists studying
information about it, with many close examinations of the energy
bubble examining all the new forms of energy discovered
earlier.

The energy bubble still altered time and
they checked its field and power and what it did at different
points about it, and the scientists reacted immediately when they
received new unknown findings.

It looked as though it were rupturing space
and time and playing with it in its energy sphere. It had strange
properties that were crazy to them! Perhaps due to it being damaged
in some way was the main explanation! It was creating alterations
in the fabric of space and time, but could it allow some form of
gateway into the depths of it to exist?

While the media captured the global media,
greater amounts of principal scientific groups became interested
and countless principal global scientists arrived and carried out
numerous fundamental and complicated research and experiments
throughout it, using more advanced and unheard of equipment, while
others monitored and stored as much as they could, in greater
degrees.

Yet nobody could still determine its origins
or if it came from this universe! It even seemed that they could be
there the rest of their lives exploring it and not coming up with
the proper explanations to its origins and use, never achieving
their goal.

Bryson occasionally shuddered as he studied
its shape hovering over the artifact!

The abnormal antics of some scientists at
times also captivated him, mystifying him with the depth of their
nervousness and fear! Some repetitively studied the readings and
their equipment and with alarm, preparing themselves for something
that he saw the two paranormal scientists gradually become aware
of!

What the hell was it? What was the thing?
Was it really a supernatural entity? Could something go wrong?

Something at one point seemed to be
happening and there were great alterations in the being and energy
bubble and the scientists began swiftly studying it everywhere.

Then one morning Bryson received a message
to go immediately there as there was something occurring, and he
knew straightaway that the conclusion to something was about to
occur, and on the way there he realized that it had been doing
something and taken all the time since its appearance to do it, and
he was sure it would have normally have done it instantly and that
it had trouble doing it!

Once he saw the
being
’
s
formation and its thick denseness and the artifact and energy field
going crazy he turned silent and observed everything he could with
Merton and Mortimer, and the other major scientists there, from
behind a protection screen.

A sudden swift flash exploded out at the
center of the artifact and temporally blinded them, having them all
covering their eyes, and some made sure cameras were observing it
in the brightness, and Bryson saw what was occurring by shading his
eyes.

The energy in the artifact was colossal and
the technology behind it fascinated everyone! It would be worth
billions if they could recreate it!

Bryson gasped when he saw the reactions of
Mortimer and other scientists when the brightness and activity
began vanishing and he wondered why, and saw they were waiting for
something, and the outcome of everything there to come to a
conclusion!

Then the figure of a man walked out of the
bright light, and he suddenly staggered about, and walked up to the
protection screen and knocked on it as hard as he could!

The scientists removed the entrance gate and
helped him out as though wondering how he had been left inside the
confined region without them noticing.

Nobody knew him or had seen him before, and
Bryson wondered if it had copied the human looks from someone? But
he could not recognize anything and the man looked altered somehow.
He looked like a more advanced version of a human! Like a
genetically altered human! He wondered if he was now a new form of
species of human?

The man spoke strangely and with some
trouble, and showed that he had some bad disability.

“
Who are you?
”
Merton asked him, first.

“
What year is this?
”
he replied, holding himself
upright in pain.

When Merton told him he was stunned and
collapsed across the floor, and sounded as though he was dieing,
and the scientists started helping him and phoning for medical
support.

Many studied his body and found what they
believe was improvements to it, and he had been altered into a more
advanced human, but even with his improvements they knew he was
about to die, and they saw the artifact and that it had been
destroyed.

After seeing everything, and knowing the
outcome, Mortimer swiftly began questioning him, trying to get as
much as he could from him. All their work could be meaningless if
they never got answers to what had occurred and where he had come
from!
