Was it some kind of a ritual? In all my days of mowing the lawn, I had never seen my old neighbour move that fast...The two entourages on each side of him were different, their helmets had lights around their opaque visors that transitioned from red, white to blue like plane lights. They had rifles and I might say I was impressed with their sequence. Their footsteps were in sync as they approached the other brown camouflage guys who were lined up."Who are these guys?" The one in the middle talked to Mister Wigglesworth and I could not believe my eyes, the parcel in his hand levitated. I glanced at Morty and he was equally as amazed as me and I scoffed. The parcel in his hand was eye-catching. It was black, prism-shaped with many facets. "Whoa." He tapped on it and it morphed remaking itself into spikes, I heard a pulsing noise, it morphed into a cube then back to the prism. I grabbed Morty's shoulder. Another box materialized from out of nowhere and it stood at the centre like a po

The School was holding a ball and we had to look presentable. It was mandatory this year. I really truly hoped that Kendra would go out with me.Her mother Susan Gilles glared at me. I turned to Kendra holding a rake. Her dirty brown hair had split ends and she had the prettiest brown eyes, she wore a brown gardening outfit, her pink gloved hand tightened on her rake."Oh hi, Zach, what's shaking?" Me. My face was burning up. "Kendra? Can I ask you for a favour?" She fluttered her eyelashes. "Oh no, I'm all out of solids,"I turned red. "You see..." I saw the neon blue brackets circling her face. I flapped my hand across my face good thing she was checking her phone. "Oh, I just got an text from Al-Abadi, he asked me to come to the dance." She said. She studied physics.Amir? Amir Al-badi was like the worst human being on the planet to me. I doubt this'll go well. Besides I was not that great compared to him. "Um...That's... great_""Unbelievable..." I put my hands in front of my ey

The rapid, metallic clang of gunfire echoed through the dimly lit alley. My shoulder screamed in pain as I dived behind a stack of wooden crates, the harsh breaths escaping my lips accompanied by the frantic thumping of my heart. Kendra's earlier appearance, now in the form of a lethal killing machine, had caught me completely off guard.From my hiding spot, I fumbled for the rifle, desperately needing some firepower to defend myself. The darkness was my only ally as I felt her approaching, the whirring of her robotic limbs reverberating in the eerie silence.Morty had fallen, unconscious and vulnerable, and I couldn't allow this menace to reach him. My other wound, from her previous attack, had miraculously healed again, a testament to the unsettling side effects of whatever had been injected into my system. A disturbing thought crossed my mind: was I becoming something more than human?The inhuman footsteps grew fainter as the Klozandroid continued to advance. She had morphed into a

"Step 1. Be unpredictable,"The robots were a challenge. One spun and tried to kick me, I clasped its foot in-between my hands and my knee went down and my foot pushed backwards against the ground.My hands crackled with electricity. Its eyes flashed, and I staggered forward when the other one booted me on the back of my head. I almost blacked out when I collided with the first one. I dropped and crawled away with a hand on my head and shuddered. Then my senses spurred on and I spun my body up, on my hands to evade a sweeping kick and flipped back blocking a heavy fist and I slammed my foot into the red bot's knee, it sparked after I crippled it.Their eyes flashed red. More emerged from the suitcase doubling up to fourteen_as much as I could count. "There's too many!" I said disoriented by them shuffling again. Mister Wigglesworth clenched his fist. "It's not about the size of a dog in a fight, it's about the size of the fight in a dog!""I am not a dog!!" I blocked my face on the

The jets stopped for a moment, I spun over falling from the sky, diving in one direction, I was losing altitude and the red exclamation points were filling up my view. I glared at the trees.[ 3000 ft...2000 ft...500ft ]"Glider," The wings on my suit extended as I was plummeted and the traction in the wind pushed me back to a standing posture as I reached the dark park's proximity. I was hyperventilating. I searched the flaming field, the ship was a huge wreck. I lunged after her."A new knight?" She appeared confused and twirled her weapon. Well it doesn't matter,"We ran toward each other. She kicked me away brawling with Mister Wigglesworth. In the collision, I saw her claw emerging under him spinning rapidly and I shot it, the other whirled around her gripping my throat."Whoa!" I spun upside down and hit another tree. She dunked me into a puddle. He broke free of the collision and she screeched at the laser he shot in her eyes, he spun her arm around her neck and the claw ope
