10:00
the digital clock displayed on the screen of a smartphone indicated the start of the third period .
Britney was what you can describe as a rebel , a third year highschool student with bad reputation . this morning she had a fight with her parents who , from her point of view , were incompetent and useless .
leaving the house in a bad mood she decided to ditch the school for the day . rather than taking the usual bus she just walked for two hours without a goal , until she noticed a car traffic started by a huge crowd .
' this looks interesting ' she thought as she went to see
the people gathered around the intersection numbered in the hundreds , it wasn't easy to cut her path to the front .
she was choked at the view , total amazement .
in the middle of the intersection were three humanoid figures , though not human in any way .
at first she thought ' what a well made costume! ' but after two to three minute she realized how much she underestimated them .
their heads that of house lizards moved around calmly , their eyes blinked , scale covered their skin , and what caught the eye more than the previous parts were the tails waiving slowly behind them .
those were details impossible to achieve without the help of visual effects used in movies . if it's just the light armor they used to cover themselves or the rest of their equipment , which included those heavy looking SciFi white rifles she could believe it was some event or just a bunch of nerds trying to get attention . but the three lizardmen looked too realistic to even be real .
Britney's mind turned to that of her eight years old self
" aliens ? " she said in a low voice , her eyes sparkling .
no one had attempted to approach the three mysterious figures , wish means the level of details and realism wasn't her imagination . and the fact that they held the weapon looking things meant they could fry the hell out of them if they are the real deal .
a wield idea appeared . 'I need to tweet about this '
most likely all of her friends and classmates are in school right now listening to the boring history teacher who she didn't remember his name . she would be the first witness at the scene and had to make sure the info would reach her friends .
she took out her smartphone and readied the camera app , she zoomed in , good enough she managed to get the perfect frame with the three creature side by side facing her and without hesitation pressed on the screen .
only ,she made one mistake . the f!ash option was on , it was meaningless during the day but it wouldn't do any harm . the monsters in the center of the intersection had a different thought .
the moment the light flashed all three of them turned her way .Britney immediately understood it was the end for her as the futuristic looking guns pointed at her

each gun fired two pink light bullets toward the defenseless Britney who accepted her fait , she closed her eyes and prepared for the pain to reach her brain .
yet the bullets never reached her , she just lost balance and fell on her back while the people started fleeing the place . she slowly opened her eyes , someone stood in front of her , did he take the shoot in her stead ? no .
her eyes were attracted toward a source of light not too far . it was like a shining white stick ...no there has to be a better way to say that , what were they called again ? those space weapons from that old popular movie . it resembles a sword , a light sword ?
a hero with a sword in hand came to save her from the fangs of death ? her cheeks reddened a little . she was curious about the one who would step forward to save the random citizen number one , so she looked up .
he wasn't that tall , about a meter and seventy centimeters , it was kind of a disappointment . his clothes were casual like that of any one her age . but the most striking feature about him was
'eh ?'
a paper bag ? it was a paper bag . a paper bag covered her savier head . a paper bag
Britney prince in shining armor was nothing more than a guy with a toy looking weapon and a paper bag on his head
the masked guy turned to look at her from over his shoulder , from two holes in the paper bag
" are you okey ?" he said , his voice broken from the heavy breathing
Britney wasn't able to respond , she stared at him with blank eyes .
a sharp shriek came from across , the three lizardmen became enraged as if they found what they searched for
the paper bag guy turned toward them , his left side forward he lowered his center of gravity and held his light sword horizontally at his side .
The monster group had their fingers -clows- on the trigger , the masked guy rushed forward the moment the pink light bullets fired . following that was the sound of something hitting the road and surrounding buildings . it was faster than the eye could see , if the sword he used didn't leave a trajectory behind while moving no one would know he swung it to deflect the shoots .
the lizards rained bullets forcing him to stop his advance while defending the spectators behind him . a policeman stepped from the side and fired with his gun at the creatures , but every shot was meaningless in front of their scales , he only managed to get their attention .
that was enough to make an opening for the paper bag guy to close the distance .with unimaginable speed an upward slash split lizardman A in two together with his gun . the other two exploded in anger and pointed their weapons at him but it was for nothing since he was way too close . when lizardman B got half his head cut off lizard and C , the last one standing retreated by a backward jump , yet his enemy had no intention of letting him go , he kicked the ground and stabbed him in the chest , both falling to the ground . the monster screamed and trashed around trying to free itself but the paper bag guy pinned it down with his sword , it was a horrible site for the weak hearts .
soon the screams stopped and the monster stopped moving . the victor stood proud covered in blood from the paper bag to his legs . the crowd stared in amazement at him , but he seemes unbothered by them .
he walked to lizardman A and crouched down , took off the pouches from his belt and looked inside . the pouches turned into light and disappeared . next was lizardman B then lizardman C . everyone present know what he is doing , he is looting the bodies of the dead monsters .
when he was done with the third one , he stood up and looked around . he walked to the policeman from before then said " thanks for covering me , but don't do it again " .
not waiting for a replay he dashed through the spectators and vanished behind a corner .
"h-hey ....those things ..." someone said in a frightened voice . Britney turned toward the dead bodies .
the first who got looted by that guy turned into fragments of light , the other two glowed with the same blue color and after three seconds , no trace of the them was left in the intersection .even the blood that was splashed on the road was nowhere to be seen .
the witnesses could not understand what happened before their eyes . the only thing they were sure of is that the evidence of the battle that happened there were destroyed .
still on the ground Britney tried to believe her eyes . she was saved , no , she was dead for a moment , but was saved .
she had one regret though . with weak voice she talked to anyone listening
" please , tell me someone took a video ..."
