"Don't call me, Sergeant.""Aren't you a sergeant?" He said upclose."It sounds uncomfortable coming from you.""What do I call you then?""Nothing." She whispered. Zack groaned in long-suffering knowing that she was being serious. She was boggling him down with all this overthinking."What's wrong?""We're having dinner. Tonight."They sat back and Arwatt her father and Mayne gazed at their plate of food."I made them especially for you."Mayne lifted a piece of bacon repugnantly. "What is this?"Arwatt dug into his dinner without thinking twice. "I suppose I can eat after all that walking.""There's more where that came from. I overcooked.""I am not complaining." Arwatt said."This is where you live?" Mayne said. She winced at a cockroach scaling up the wall, her skin crawled and Seymour lunged to grab it. The paint chipped off."An organic pest control service. I like it." Arwatt said.Zack promised not to be negligent with Seymour so he gave him a piece of bacon and brushed his f
Zack brushed Seymour's fur. He fumed at Mayne's attitude. He wasn't bothered but he wondered why Gwen would lie to her parents about the message.He lowered the cannister with the creature in it into a box. He wanted to speak to her face-to-face.She was online. "Babe..." He deleted that and typed hi instead."I saw the news. This is terrible. Why would anyone do such a thing?" She jumped into the core of the topic."That's not important right now. ""Really?"He typed. "You promised you would communicate." "Communicate what?""You know talk to me. About anything. Is it really worth putting a bar between us? Did I hurt you?"Gwen glanced at her father sleeping in. "No."He exhaled. "Then why did you lie about that nuptial pact?""I did not lie.""You didn't? Then why weren't you interested?" "I was...""Why not?" He dropped the laptop torn to pieces. Zack watched her entering the apartment. He was enchanted by her statuette body. Her dark hair flowed down her shoulders."What are y
"You cannot believe the magic that this machine makes." Arwatt arrived with the device and a bag."What is it?""Nothing dad." Gwen said defensively. Arwatt blinked. "I mean, how does this thing operate?" Gwen glanced at him in surprise and put the bread in the toaster.He clapped when the bread popped out. "What is this?""It's called toast."He looked concerned for her, she folded her arms. "Is anything wrong?"She sighed. "You don't seem too excited.""I was, I think your attitude change comes as quite a shock to the both of us. So we needed to see for ourselves what happened. We want what's best for you. And that is what you want."She pursed her lips. "I don't want to get married. Mother thinks I don't know any better. I'm afraid she's telling the truth.""I'm very confused. Do you want to get married or do you not want to?"She admired her father for his adaptability. Nothing came as quite a shock to him as it did to mother. "I'm afraid I've disappointed her. I'm ready to giv
He had to do this without Gwen's knowledge even though he just told her that they had to work together as a team. He was going against what he stood for to save the others. He wondered how Mort would feel about delivering the Dr. Into Plagg's hands as well. It was for the greater good. He recalled that Dr Raleigh said the Plague was out to kill him. "He was right." Zack shuddered. "Okay, you've done this before." His eyes were glassy and he swallowed hard trying to navigate. Ash reproduced many of his files. Tom Raleigh was a biologist, besides that there was nothing much on him. Except his Tax ID.He stopped at his house on a hill.Dr Raleigh winced at the Knight."Dr.""Knight...you came.""I have a sample I'd like to show you."He shuddered at the creatures."Can you find something about this? I have only 7 days to figure out its weakness. I want to kill it. It appears that the Xenobyte possesses a unimind. This being is intelligent. It think it's a legion or som_""You're after
Mayne moved about the mobile home. She glanced at a picture of Zack with his arms around Zed's shoulders. She wondered where Gwen was.Mort arrived at Gwen's place. "Gwen?"Mayne sat up. "Who are you?" She erratically. "Do not come into our home. Where is the Guard Dog for goodness sake?""I'm a friend of hers." He said and the rosiness in her face vanished."He speaks our language. What shall we do?""Who are you two?" Mort said losing his usual demeanor. His garrote lowered."We're Oogie's parents." She said."Really? Cool.""You're human?""Yes." "Good, I'd like to understand how this works." He held up a toilet plunger."Arwatt. He's a stranger.""We'll save that for later. I need to ask where she is, it's really important and Zack's missing.""We haven't seen him in about a week.""Something must be wrong." Mort said. "I'll go look for her.""We're coming with you." Arwatt said.They sat uncomfortably in the ship."Are you sure you know how to operate this?""I've had practice."
Zack's pupil's dilated, he looked up surprised to see the others. The Xenobytes fell off from their heads. Wilting like flowers. They gazed around surprised like lost puppies trying to find their way."Where's Raleigh?" He said frowning and he caught the Doctor bleeding at the hall. The trail of blood suggested that he had dragged himself all the way to the elevator. He was pale and blood oozed down his nostrils.Zack glared at him. "Please don't kill me.""I know the place, just for scumbags like you." He said."No, no, my career, my reputation will be ruined." He took him away and Gwen smiled."Newsflash. Nobody cares about us." They swooped up and Gwen waved.She arrived to the others and the men's jaw dropped. She realised she could control anyone she wanted. "Now that we're done here, we can all go home." She ignored a hand before she went up into a ship. ...The news came on about strange shrivelled creatures all over the town. The crowd were divided if the alien conspir
Name: Zachary TrevorAge: 23Specie: TerranRank: Private (2nd Class)Level: 108Stat points: 18kAbilities: Enhanced senses, agility. Zack gazed at his stats and he chose the quest he wanted to go for. He learned that an asteroid, was heading towards earth at high velocity. His job was to stop it from colliding."Couldn't that asteroid wait a little bit longer?" He said reading the date. He had only 3 days before it arrived. "3 days? That's close to my wedding.""We're going to space." He said taking off. He had doubts that this would stop him. He noticed people walking about. He didn't want to have a martyr complex but he was sad that no one knew what was coming next. The government were stunned that the asteroid was heading towards Earth."Should we call a state of emergency?""No, it is not advised.""The public deserve to know.""We give ourselves permission to destroy it.""That missile is explosive enough to kill hundreds.""We can't launch missiles into outer space?""Exact
The wedding was approaching and he took up his bow tie. He was anxious.He gazed at the crowd beaming at them, not at all nervous about the wedding.Kendra approached him in a pink dress. "Hey."Okay, now he was nervous to see his long time crush. Kendra wondered why he was staring so intently."It's been a long time, Zack. I can't believe you cashed in on your bloopers. That's genius.""Actually I owe that all to James. I thought you never wanted to see me again.""It's complicated. I came for Gwen.""Lucky her.""Lucky her indeed." She had a cynical tinge to her voice. She adjusted his bow tie."You dare not ask me about Ethan.""No, I was going to ask how are you?""Not doing so well." Her face turned sickly. "I'm losing my mind. Seeing you getting hitched with Gwen...from Wales." She scoffed. "My father cheated on my mom with a masseuse. Can you imagine? My dad had back injuries and he decided to get with her. My mom paid all his debts. And he left her still, I don't know why I'd
