"Then who are you?"Zack didn't know whether to feel sympathy or anger or fear for Zandax. As upsetting as it was, it wasn't about him. It was about Zandax. An alien going through an identity crisis. He had been lied to most of his life that he was no good. In a sense, it rang true but this one was muddled by the opinions of others that he couldn't seem to understand himself anymore. He didn't know what to tell him."I am deeply sorry that I tried to kill you. I did it for honour but nothing brings me any solace."Gwen softened. She fidgeted. "I feel empty and weak. I never seem to do anything right." Zandax knelt there feeling dejected. Aware of his own failings and his anger, now he was in front of the one person who could help him and he turned him down. Zack worked his jaw. Maybe he was lied to but it didn't excuse the fact that he tried to kill him. Zack left him quickly conflicted and frustrated.Zack looked lost. He sat on a tire swing holding on to the chains. He saw him

Mort patted his back. "Sorry for the advice."Mort walked out and curled in a corner crying in secret. Zack gazed at Gwen with longing. She had a talk with the others and stood on her tip toes talking to Broseam who placed a hand on her head. The other men tried not to laugh. He smiled with longing dreamy eyed. He felt guilty because he once had a crush and it burned him. But her feelings were mutual. Were they just there because she was alien and he had no chance with humans? Maybe he was just a simpleton longing for something or someone he couldn't have or he couldn't give. He could settle. Gwen glanced at Zack watching and she turned red maybe from him watching her being made fun of. Or just her instincts knowing someone was watching or the unsettling feeling in her midriff.She reciprocated with a casual smile and Zack looked behind him and saw no one was there.She chuckled and he rubbed his hair awkwardly.He approached her and she folded her arms. He paused.Gwen lowered her

He went to check on Zandax whose eyes dilated."Is there anyway of knowing we have reached the ship?"Zandax was overcome with fear. Having to face his master again. "Y_yes I do." Zack clenched his gloved fists at Zandax. He was not afraid to strike if he made any U-turns."Sure. Show us the way." They went towards the control board.They detected the large ship. "We'll have to make progress." Broseam said."The MST have not arrived yet." Zandax said. "We cannot leave until we have orders. It's a dangerous minefield."Mort couldn't stand watching them fight. He tried to contact Gwen. Zack stayed in the background."I say onward. We cannot lose the ship. We must attack now."Broseam said. "Backwards." Zandax persisted. Zack was suspicious if Zandax was just trying to spare his own life. They went back and forth with words. Zandax backed away only because he wanted to maintain the peace. Broseam was the boss here. "Why are the ships going in seperate directions?"Conrad arrived ai

Zack frowned. "I know I've been a coward but it doesn't matter now. They're dead, Zed's gone and I'm trying my best, I'm trying to do the right thing.""If you're okay with endangering your parents and the rest of Morphius and Earth, then that's fine." Mort said. He had strangulation marks around his neck."I'm aware of the prospects but Broseam is not as bad as he makes himself to be. He just needs guidance.""You're really the worst judge of character, Gwen. You think you can change everyone, but you can't." Zack said. Gwen's body simmered with rage and frustration. In a world where she was constantly belittled and shamed. Her only defence mechanism was denial. Broseam besides her parents was the only one who saw her in a good light regardless of her limitations. Everyone else thought he was kissing up to her because he had a lower rank but he encouraged her.He made her feel like a whole person. She was validated, she remembered how many times he stood up in her defence to bullies.

He crawled on towards him and took out the S.A.D[ Intruder alert ] He powered it up and walked towards him. His chest heaved. Thinking of the consequences. He turned forcing Zoldor to turn sharply too. Gondomier blasted the MST ships and he glanced at Zack who tried to stop him from stabbing him with a sword. He tossed it aside and Zack used that Avenue stab him with the armour detractor against his neck.It pulled out the nanites. Gondomier felt every atom of control over leaving him. He shouted."Do you realise what you're doing!?"Zack's eyes watered. "I know. I'm just trying to keep it from you."Zoldor as a result powered down dispersing. Falling. Zack felt indescribable pain as he induced the nanites into his body.[ System activated ][ Ash, I'm so glad you're back ][ Zack, I will be happy to be of assistance whenever you please. ][ Mecha Mode deactivate ] The parts disassembled before it tipped and Gondomier tipped falling through the sky.Zack's armour covered him and
