Red. A lot of Red. Kyle felt sick to his stomach from the sudden flashing of the color red.
He was getting dizzy, but he tried hard to keep his eyes fixed on the people in front of him. He was unable to focus, but his mind commanded him to keep his hands up so that he may continue to capture the moment on video - not realizing his phone stopped working.
Within moments, his dizzy state ended. He looked at the soldiers that were staring at him.
The pillar that was in front of him vanished. The floor that was beneath him was switched with mountain terrain, and everyone was staring at him.
He was in clear view to them.
"heh... hello?"
A soldier took out a gun from his side, but another with a scar on his hand made a sign to hold him back.
"Looks like you are wearing the uniform of the staff at Club Lagooz. What were you doing in a restricted area?"
"Emm... erm." his thought process has slowed under the situation he found himself in. He couldn't think of an excuse even though he prepared one already, just in case. So instead, he resorted to asking questions, "I don't understand what is happening."
"Well, the less you know, the more likely you are to survive."
The sound of Kyle gulping could be heard from a distance.
"They will arrive any moment now, we can't appear to be in disarray, and they can't see a dead body from one of us on the floor"

"Kid, what is your name?"
"Kyle?"
"Don't worry, Kyle, nothing is going to happen to you as long as you follow
my order exactly" the man took a long breath and continued.
"Come, stand behind us with discipline, and make absolutely no sound."
As if on cue, the moment Kyle managed to find strengths in his legs to stand, a group of beings came running in their direction.
Kyle was startled, and he let out a sound of shock but in a low voice - nonetheless, it garnered the attention of both the soldiers and the beings that just arrived.
'Am I in hell? These things have horns" he held back tears and acted brave - but he wasn't feeling it. Yet, he stood tall and prode.
"I am Lexiom of the Ram people. I am the translator for the King behind. We thought you joined forces with our enemies, so we were surprised to receive your request for an audience human. What now?"
The soldier smiled, and the rest of them on command took out their guns and sprayed all of those beings with bullets within moments.
"We needed a few bodies to experiment on- thank you for your service."
Kyle was in shock, and he continued staring into the distance. He stepped closer to one of the Ram people and stared at him - while the rest of the soldiers carried the rest.
"Alright, our mission is done here. Carry the last of those bodies back - this will surely make our allies happy as well."
Kyle stood out, he was the only one dressed differently, and he was the only one not working. For any bystander, they would think he was important. This is why Lexiom, who suddenly rose back from the dead, held him tightly and ran with him.
The soldiers weren't expecting this, and they were busy carrying other beings. By the time they realized what had happened, Lexiom had run with an extremely fast speed.
While being carried at an inhuman speed, he witnessed a whole new world, a world that appeared in ruins. He looked up, and he saw two suns.
"I should take pictures...." before that thought could present itself in practice, his headache got more intense, and he fainted.
