Vietnam (Mantis Brandt II) Part 5

//

Mantis Brandt has lived in this place almost all her life.

Her father Gustav Brandt left her in this place from a very young age.

She was cared for and trained by the Priests of Pama in different fields, such as martial arts, telepathy, plant control, among others.

As a young woman, she overheard some priests calling her the Celestial Madonna.

And that her destiny was to mate with the Cotati Elder on Earth to become the mother of the Celestial Messiah.

She felt strange hearing that, as it meant that her destiny was not controlled by her.

Still, she accepted her fate and did what the priests prepared for her.

When she turned 21, the priests decided that it was necessary for her to gain experience in the world.

But before she went into the world, they told her that it was necessary to put protections in her mind.

They took her to a room in which there was a strange machine.

Also, they told her to enter that strange machine.

She felt uncomfortable at their orders, but still entered the machine.

Upon entering she looked at the priest and seconds later she felt drowsy and slowly closed her eyes.

As she lost consciousness, she perked up thinking that after this, things would get better.

Alex Wayne POV

After a twenty-minute walk, Polaris, Psylocke, Irene, Domino, Natasha and I finally came out of the forest.

Looking around us, Domino says:

"Seriously, this place is highly guarded for a simple temple"

"You're right, they've been watching us for more than five minutes and they still haven't shown up" Polaris said as she nodded.

Yes, we are being watched. We were very aware of that but we pretended to be ignorant, after all we wanted to see what they would do.

But after waiting so long, the idiots who were watching us did not show up and that already bored us.

"Show yourselves, we already know you're following us!" I yelled into the woods.

The place is silent.

Seeing that they had no intention of showing themselves, I say:

"Polaris, get one of those idiots out"

Nodding, Polaris used her powers and dragged a man who was wearing a technological armor.

The man was surprised and tried to resist, but to no avail.

The next moment, more armed men come out of the woods as they point their guns at us.

"Stop and let him go!" one of those men said.

Seeing them, I say to them smiling:

"At last you want to talk to us, are you shy?"
