Primordial wormholes

A ship could be seen travelling in a multicolored - tube like structure, followed by a glutton. Cough! Cough! , a grinning huge rock.

In the ark.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Red blaring alarms were echoing inside of the ship. The ship from inside seems as if it was being covered by blood. Many of the crew members had gloomy expression and dark lines on their faces. Some could be seen sitting in the various corners of the ship cursing themselves for coming on this disastrous trip while some were taking pride as they got a chance to serve the human race to their best.

However, there were some exceptions. One of them was Val while the other was Mark. They were having their rest when a sudden alarm startled them. They heard the announcement but couldn't completely comprehend it, so they decided to go to the command centre. However, what welcomed them was a multitude of expressions. Some were of despair , some seemed lost, etc.

Seeing all these Val didn't show any emotions on his face. He had a serene expression just like a statue. Seeing Val, Mark thought " Why does this boy seems more and more like a statue to me ".

Mark also had a calm expression on his face. But, there was a raging flood inside him which may come out at any time. However, he had made a dam inside himself to control it as he may lose his head before the thing outside claimed his life. He felt a cold sensation around his neck thinking about this. He gave a last look at Val and began listening the banter of an old man dressed in white coat who seemed like a very knowledgeable scholar.

" Primordial wormholes are predicted to exist on microscopic levels about 10-33 centimetres. However, some may have been stretched to large sizes. And these types of wormholes maintain their stability using very exotic types of matter that contain negative energy density and large negative power . And , it is my hypothesis that here , time and space are in a mess. ", Professor Trafford said with a deep breadth.

" And, it is also impossible for our ship to enter this type of wormholes with our current technology".

" If it is impossible for us to jump in this type of wormhole, then why are we here ? ", asked Alfred with a questioning look.

The professor pointed his finger towards the screen that showed the grinning rock in front of them and said " Well, we are invited" .

" That thing must also have felt the power of the box we acquired in the ancient ruins and invited us here. Sooner or later we are all gonna be inside it's stomach if we don't get rid of that box. " said the professor seriously.

" No, we can't do that. I will not allow anyone to throw that box. Professor, do whatever you can to open that box. That's mine , I will not allow anyone else have it ", said Alfred with a commanding voice. Pink colour was clearly evident in his eyes which was flashing with greed. However, nobody could see the greed in his eyes as whoever saw his eyes became entranced by it. All who saw that eyes lost control over themselves as if they lost their soul. And that included the professor and the sisters Qirin and Eliz as well as the staff there.

" Yes, Master ", said the professor who was just adamant to throw the box to save the crew's life. The sisters also nodded in response along with the staff. They knelt down and bowed to the captain.

Seeing the scene unfold, Val who was just a few metres away from door behind the captain's back showed a tinge of worry for the first time on his face. He held Mark's hand and ran outside the command centre in hurry.

Alfred turned around and just saw a silhouette pass through the door. However, he didn't cared.

" From now on I am no captain of yours , I am your master. This ship is mine and that box is also mine. Team, prepare to engage with that bastard rock. And professor , I am waiting for the good news " said Alfred with a crazed look.

*****

Val could be seen running through the corridors holding hands with Mark . A thought came to the mind of those who saw them " Are they a couple on run" and laughed it off.

After reaching a obscure area with no one around Val came to a stop.

Seeing the questioning look on Mark's face Val sighed and said , " You saw that crazed look on the Captain's face .That is what happens when a devil takes over the person's mind. You may not know it, but devil crystals above soldier-grade contains a fragment of devil's soul which can take over a person's mind when they absorb a crystal forcefully."

This was just the last push that needed to break the cracking dam in Mark's heart.

" Fuck! Fuck! Fuckkkkk! We are truly dead now. What should we do now? First there was that devil's fleet , then that bastard grinning rock and now this crazed Captain. I must have pissed off a grim ripper and now he is on a run for my life" , said Mark with twisted face.

Val kicked Mark and sighed.

He said , " Captain had already told me about this that this may happen when we were in that ancient ruin. He also gave me access equal to him and asked me to bring that box back to the federation if something happens to him. Now, come help me with this. We have to leave this ship as soon as we can. Come! " Val left toward the chamber where that box was being kept.

There was a slight tremor on the ship's hull as it was charging for the oncoming fight.

Mark got up although shaking and followed behind Val.
