(David:)

It took the elevator 6 minutes to get to where they were going. All the while, he wondered what awaits him when those doors open. Will it be bad or good? Or what will take place? Questions like these keep coming to him. But he did know that he'll find out soon enough.

The elevator came to stop. It said b-floor: 70. That's far from the surface. 5 kilometers to be exact from the mantle. He braced himself for whatever was behind those doors.

The elevator doors opened. What he saw was very surprising. Also, it cause him to look around with awe on his face. Only one word came out of his mouth.

"Whoa!"

Risa just laughed. "Yeah. It's a lot to take in."

The reason why the elevator went so far was because the after the 20th floor down was when the ceiling started. Upon exiting the elevator, they entered the Megadome. It's an underground building that is fit to house either over 500,000 to 1 million people, or some of the nation's or even the world's biggest secrets. Emphasis on the word 'world', because in the Megadome, there were multiple flags from different nations: U.S.A., Russia, UK, France, Germany, China, Japan, Italy. There were more.

He wasn't the only one speechless. Lucy was as well. But surprisingly, he noticed that John and Jason weren't surprised by this place. Word of their arrival must have came fast, because everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at David and the others.

He haven't noticed that they exited onto a grated walkway and there were several more levels under them. He missed it when he walked out of the elevator and just looked up. Place is a lot bigger than he thought.

Then he noticed that several men were walking on the platform, heading towards their group. Risa placed her hand on his shoulder and then stepped forward, to meet the approaching men. A couple of seconds later, the men stopped in front of him. He noticed that the man in front must be the boss or something.

The man in front was dressed in a a normal black and white suit and tie outfit, whilst the 4 men following him wore military uniforms. Risa walked up and stood by the man in the suit and tie. The man spoke.

"Ah. So this is David." He spoke with a formal accent. He then looked the soldiers. "You soldiers are no longer needed at the moment. You are dismissed."

The soldiers saluted the man and then left to do whatever they needed to do. It was just David's group left. The man looked past him and towards Jason.

"Good job, Agent Jason. You did a great job raising him. It is also great that you guys made it here safely."

David is shocked by what he said. He directly looked at his dad. His dad was an agent? Jason just nods at the man. Then he said with humor.

"Yes sir. It was fun to irritate from time to time. Heh heh."

The shocked look on David's face turned into a glare. Then back to a shocked expression as he asked his dad.

"You're an agent? My dad's an agent."

His dad's facial expression went from happy to serious. All sense of humor died. He then spoke to David.

"Yes, David. I'm an agent. Or rather, a special agent. I been tasked to guard and protect something very special. However," he said his tone getting grave. "I'm not your father."

Such a blow. And such a blow to his stomach. David eyes grew wide and full of disbelief.

"You're not my father?" He asked.

"No." Jason responded. "I'm not."

David's facial expression harden and he became angry.

"You made me believe you were my dad for the past 17 years and you irritated me nonstop with that smile, and then you say, here and now, that you're not my father. Why didn't you tell me the truth? Was this just a cover for your real assignment. If you're not my dad, then why did you raised me?!"

Jason stepped forward.

"Because you are the assignment. I was given orders to watch over you." He said with a softer voice.

David's expression soften slightly.

"What?"

The man cleared his throat.

"Let's go somewhere more private to talk."

He then turns around and then starts walking off, with everyone following him. For about 5 minutes. The man lead him through a series floors and down several stairs until finally, they entered a room that seems private enough to talk. As everyone enters the room, the man in the suit and tie closed and locked the door.

"Now then. Let me explain to you David for why you are here and what this place is."

He stopped. He clears his throat.

"For starters, my name is Michael Bensworth, And this organization is called, well, it has a long name. However, let me call it what everyone else has called it: FireStorm. Anyways, Let me explain why FireStorm was created. 18 years ago, we found out that we are not alone. 18 years ago, aliens arrive on Earth. This race of aliens came to call themselves the Dragonids. A alien race of Dragon like creatures. The day they arrived on earth, their queen, Queen Zephyrina, asked us for a special reason. She entrusted us with something very, very special to her. In exchanged for watching over this thing, she formed an Alien-Human Alliance with the people of the Earth and the Dragonid Empire. Risa here is a Dragonid. She was tasked by Zephyrina to watch over this item."

David just looked at Risa. Then back at Michael.

Michael continued.

"After she left, the presidents of every major country in the world met to discuss what should be done about this.  The U.S. President came up with an idea, and out of that idea, FireStorm was created."

David is trying to comprehend what they were saying. Aliens are real. There is an alliance between humans and an alien race. Even FireStorm. Then he thought about why Firestorm was created. What was so precious to the queen that she came earth and asked for help.

"What was the thing that the queen wanted the humans to protect? It must have been an important item."

Michael was about to speak, but Risa stopped him. She stepped forward.  Then she spoke,

"It's not a what. David. It's a who."

She closed her eyes then opened them.

"It was her newborn child that she asked the people of Earth to protect. Her newborn son."

He gasped. "What? Her son? Who is he? He must have been guarded with a lot of soldiers. What's his name?"

She looked away. For a couple seconds, she looked away. Then she turn back and responded.

"His name is Orion."

He heard that name before. Where did he heard it? Click! He realized where he heard name before. That leader of those serpentine guys say it.

"You don't know about us. But we know about you, David. Or should I call you Orion? In any case, you'll be coming with us. Surrender."

Getting clearer.

" You don't know about us. But we know about you, David. Or should I call you Orion?"

Even clearer.

"But we know about you, David. Or should I call you Orion?"

Then it hits him.

"Or should I call you Orion?"

Orion.

His eyes grew wide. So wide. His facial expression showed he was shocked as though realization finally struck him. He fell to his knees. Everyone looked down except Lucy. Then he mutters lowly.

"I'm Orion? I'm the Queen's son?"

Risa came closer and knelt on one knee. He sees her as she puts her arms around him and pulls him into an embrace. She says in a soft and gentle voice.

"Yes, David. You are Queen Zephyrina's son and rightful Heir to the Dragonid Empire. She brought you to earth for your safety. Her enemies would come for you. She brought you here. This alliance, her leaving you here, me being here, it was all for you. And I want you to understand something. She never wanted to leave you. Never. She loved you. She loved you with all her heart."

Tears fell from his face. He was crying. Now he knew why he never seen or heard of his mother. She wasn't even on earth. She did all this for him

Lucy's eyes were crying as well. She couldn't believe it either. David's not human?

Michael stepped forward. Then he said.

"In exchange for watching over you and taking care of you, she formed an alliance. And as for the United States President's plan, FireStorm was created for one reason and one reason only: to watch over and take care of you. The Dragonids gave us plenty of their weaponry so that we can protect you. And every major country in the world sent the best of the best to keep in eye on you and to protect you. We gave Jason orders to watch and raise you as his son."

David realized something.

"If Jason isn't my real father though, then where's my real father? You said that my mother brought me here. Wasn't he with her?"

Risa looked down and closed her eyes.

"David, your real father is dead. He died before you was born."

"Oh." More tears came to his eyes. Risa hugged him even more.

"I'll tell you more about him later, David." She said to help calm him down.

Michael then clicked his tongue.

"There's one more thing. When your mother left and Risa stayed here with you, she wasn't alone. Someone else stayed here to protect you."

He looked up at him. "Who?"

Michael didn't answer. He just turned to John.

John steps forward and stood right in front of David. David and Risa stood up. Then it began happening. John was changing. His skin tone turn from tan to solid brown. His clothing changed into weird new armor. Then seconds later. David and Lucy gasped. John was totally different. David just exclaims.

"You?"

John replied with a deeper voice.

"Me. And my name is not John. It's Theron."

How about them apples? John wasn't human and David discovered his true lineage. What'll happen next. Don't forget to vote or comment.
