him
weak and he would only use it in extreme situations.
    He approached a room covered by glass on all sides. He could see
four men around a table where a being was laid. He soon realized that he was in
the right place. They were about to inject a substance into Silion’s arm, when
Merko teleported himself into the room and, with four blows in fatal regions,
he shoot down all opponents.
    “ How do you feel ?” He asked to Silion.
    “ Very weak and wounded. I think you’d better go alone.”
    Meanwhile, in a room nearby, a general and his staff were following
the procedure. The agents Ronald and Keith were preparing the equipment for the
experiments with the specimen but at that moment were in another room next to the
general.
    “General, there’s something wrong. A man is freeing our specimen and
appears to be running.” Said the captain of the operation.
    “Ring the alarm. It looks like we’ve got luck. Probably we’ll catch
two fish with one bait.” Said the general with a smile.
    A large operation soldiers invaded the research room. All escape
routes were closed.
    Merko placed Silion over his shoulders when he said:
    “ My friend, my life cycle is almost over. Please save your life.
Use the laser on me and teleport yourself to the ship. They didn’t manage to
get any information from me, you arrived just in time. They took my transmutation
recognition infrared glasses, but it won’t make any difference if you escape. Go
to Challenge I fast. It’s already programmed to take you back. At this point,
the ship was already ready; it was repaired by self-healing robots.”
    With tearful eyes, Merko disintegrated his friend. When he was
preparing himself to press the button of his watch, he noticed that there was someone
behind him, ready to attack. It was a Ranger Sergeant. And then two more
soldiers appeared.
    Merko decided to face them because he wanted to avenge the death of
his best friend.
    “Where is your friend? Did he escape or is hiding?” The sergeant
asked with irony.
    Soon they realized that the aliens had the ability to turn into
humans. While Merko prepared himself for the attack, someone hit him from
behind and he got a bit stunned. But the struggle was just the beginning. With
his great skill, he struck deadly blows at everyone, one after another.
    Suddenly, there came many others and he had to use the telekinesis,
moving all the objects of the place against its rivals, including pointing
their weapons to each other. They all stood still for a moment with the guns in
the air, pointing at them. When the general arrived at the main entrance,
holding a grenade, he said:
    “You’d better surrender, or I’ll throw this grenade and kill us all.”
    “This is for my friend Silion, who you have imprisoned and murdered.”
Merko replied.
    With the power of his mind, he removed the lock pin of the grenade.
The general looked terrified and said:
    “You’re totally crazy! We’ll all die together.”
    In the experiences room of the Army Base, everything was blown. Only
the agents Ronald and Keith managed to escape unharmed from the explosion,
because they were on the command room, which was isolated and protected by
armored walls. From their refuge, they observed the damage that the alien had
made in the military base. They observed everything being destroyed, his
friends losing their lives, and they couldn’t do anything at that time besides
watching, submissive, to all the destruction caused by the alien.
    Immediately after removing the pin from the grenade, and even before
the big explosion that destroyed part of the military complex, Merko pressed
the button of his watch and reached his ship. He knew that, unlike the
military, he wasn’t bound to that room and wasn’t taking any risk with the
grenade. Now his friend was avenged. He prepared himself to return to space.
    He checked all the controls of the ship and went up with an
unbelievable speed. He left behind his great friend Silion and the
