(*COUGH* SOMETIME DURING THE WEEK *COUGH*) (Also, the uniforms, here: [img]http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/secretrebels/images/c/ca/Zeminec.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140528032101[/img]) Simon was now dressed in a simple white t-shirt, black shorts, carrying a heavy-looking backpack, as he hiked through some of Zem's very own jungles. Surrounding the two were six of Zem's most elite soldiers, each one wearing the same, black and yellow uniform. The visors all seemed to be extremely tinted, as one would only see a yellow reflection when staring into one of the guard's faces. Two in the front, two in the back, and two on either side, completely surrounding the Rebel. Simon found himself in awe at the sight in front of him, with the variety of shapes, sizes, and colors every tree and plant came in, varying either quite greatly, or just slightly from what you'd find on Earth. A peculiar, bright blue, beetle of sorts flew past Simon, as his eyes watched it the whole way. He turned his head almost completely around, as the Rebel observed it fly off in the distance. Simon wasn't watching where was going, and ended up bumping right into one of the guards in front of him. The guard didn't budge at all, but simply continued walking, Simon, however, stumbled backwards, falling right into one of the men behind him. The guard held out his arms, and caught the hero from falling on his butt. Simon slowly brought himself up to his feet, as he turned to face the alien who caught him. He was going to say thank you, but simply froze, as he stared into the intimidating yellow visor. "Keep moving." The soldier ordered, his voice sounding slightly garbled, as it came out of the helmet. "Look, guys," Simon awkwardly laughed, as he immediately turned away, and continued to move forward. "Is all of this really necessary? I mean, this whole bodyguard thing. I am a superhero, you know, I can handle whatever comes my way." "Dr. Spurber, I understand what may be going through your mind, but, you're our guests, and we have direct orders to keep you safe, no matter what." The guard directly in front of him informed Simon, keeping his eyes forward, alert. "Is this planet really all that dangerous, though? Everything, and everyone, I've seen so far has been so peaceful." The Rebel continued to question. The guard suddenly stopped, as he pointed off in the distance; an old, half destroyed temple was visible. It was covered in mold, and looked to have been abandoned for quite some time. Virus pulled out a pair of odd red goggles from his backpack, as he strapped them onto his face. He turned the lenses of the goggles slowly, as he carefully zoomed in to the temple. It wasn't just a temple, but an entire city in the distance, abandoned. Various skeletons were scattered across the land, as most were half-crushed under debris. "You've just been shown what they've wanted you to see. Not everything's so glamorous, Dr. Spurber. We have a lot of enemies, and with the games going on, this planet can get 'all that dangerous'. A lot of people would love to try and take out Zem's favorite heroes, and while I trust you can handle yourself on your own planet, this is foreign terrain, with the kind of enemies that are very foreign to you." The guard continued to explain, as he simply continued walking along the trail. "We're almost there." Simon's heart sank, as he saw all of the bodies. The scientist slowly took off his goggles, as he stuffed them back into his backpack. He heard a soft 'squeak' sound from below, as he took a step forward. He looked down, only to find an old, dirty doll lying under his foot. It could've belonged to someone from the abandoned city. "W-Who did all this?" Simon questioned, as his heart rate started to speed slightly. The destruction only reminded him of the possible future of his own planet, if S.E.C.R.E.T. weren't to be stopped. (I'll continue this later. Sorry for the bad writing.)
