"He came face to face with Lord Gondomier. We didn't know what happened next. But the state of the field indicated that there was an epic battle. Teyen forced him to yield. In fact the only reason that he let go of the heart, the nanites and the Box was left to him alone. I know not about his motivations."

I swallowed hard. I did hear about the slaves of Gagarin that were rescued. Why would they betray Zed like that? The extra AI from Zoldor indicated that he rescued them from the dying planet. Did it contain false records? Were the other slaves abandoned, embittered and lost? I wanted to ask her about them but she looked back at the creature creeping out of the ghost town. Dust and smoke rose and I set my hand over my eyes. I heard screaming behind us. Oogie pulled out a luminescent staff. I took out a blaster. We stood back to back.

"I figure it's too late for escorts."

My breathing turned shallow when I heard soft growling noises. "What is that?" I turned around and set out my

    The alien slowly dropped and I wheezed moving on. The city was ridden with them. It was all my fault, I couldn't let my friends and family or others down but I couldn't let Gondomier get the nanites or the rest of the world. I was stretching myself too thin. I limped out in grief ignoring the incoming call from my dad. I pushed myself. I ran towards the city and drifted with my thrusters to the inner city where these spiders were raiding. Oogie was amongst them in a coccoon. I shot at them, another raised its appendages at me. An alien with tentacles stepped down. "Ah, the Mech Soldier is here, or shall we say, the Mech Knight." He laughed maniacally. He had green skin, red eyes, a purple suit with wings just like their appendages hanging stiffly on its back. He rounded up a horde of people within the barriers and I noticed that Beck was among them. He looked horrified. More water drop vessels fell from the sky on to the roads. I was asked not to show emotions before my adversaries

    I gasped heavily at the smoke, a pile of stones was raining. The alarm system in my suit beeped. "Shit, my thrusters are jammed." The dust and fumes filled my lungs. I stayed down crawling and breathing in the oxygen on the floor. The nanotech crawled on my face and it was painful to breathe. I recalled my mother and how it must have felt, was it painful? Or was the explosion so terrible that she didn't even see it coming? Was she afraid of being alone? Depression weighed on me like a wet blanket as I crawled. I groaned as something jumped on me. The earth shook like there were tectonic plates underground. I pulled away from Gilgax, and blood dripped down his face. I kicked back and jammed a rock into his face. Again and again. I crawled away as it rained dust and climbed out, I couldn't stay here. I needed to survive. I gasped getting up to run from the explosions. I pushed running for what could have been 45 miles away from the hot spot to safety. I met Mort and Oogie. She gripped m

    I faced her head on and her eyes narrowed to slits. I tried my hardest to look her straight in the eyes but my heart was beating against my ribs. I stopped my hand from curling. Hers did. I remembered her saying that she would do her very best to be fair and honest. Sometimes being honest was a good thing until it compromised someone else's position. Someone like me. If I didn't say anything to her, I would continue to live in turmoil and if I did tell her, she might make a report of it to anyone deemed fit of dealing with me. My knees were heavy and my stomach felt hot. I couldn't face her but I had too. I gnashed my teeth afraid of the outcome. She kept the necklace close. "I'm not letting it out of my sight until you tell the truth." I shoved her to get the necklace. She pushed back and punched me. I kicked her down and she flipped over elbowing my face. "Gah!" I saw black and white after that punch and my neck snapped in pain. She lifted me over her shoulder and I screamed as sh

    "I'm just hyperventilating."Chima chuckled. "Ah don't mind me, we don't have air conditioning systems yet. I was only able to rent the equipment for baking." He rubbed his gloved palms together. "You're sure you're okay, brother?" Amir said and I nodded. "Yeah, nothing to it." I worked my jaw and Chima picked up interest in his cooking and began to mix the flour and the likes for the pastry. He asked me to dice the Irish potatoes and the vegetables. He didn't get the minced meat so we had to grind them ourselves. Amir stir fried the minced meat and sliced onions, then sprinkled seasoning into the pan frying for like ten minutes. He blinked. "It stings." He held a tablespoon to Chima who had a taste of the pie. Grace paint-brushed the oil on top of the tray. I cringed at the phonecalls but I was caught between painting the edges of the small sized dough on the tray with eggs while Amir speedily used a ladle to pour sizeable portions of golden meat sauce into small sized circles of d

    I shook my head after that, how was I supposed to turn up once anything bad happened? They were looking for a man in a black suit? What if I made a big show of my battle and they came after me anyway? Lois held my wrist. "Can we go now?." She held her stomach. I forced myself away from the television and I fled with her. I brushed my nose walking home. I couldn't believe this, half of the city hated me and loved Oogie 'The Blue Knight' for standing up to them fearlessly. I reached home to drop her things. I gaped at the cage where Sandra clung to the glass. Beck inherited that spider from my mother. People thought it was weird that we let her roam about. She only wandered to look for food. She was venomous but shy and hardly bit anyone unless she had no choice. The fact that he didn't let her go out was saying something. I opened the lid. She clicked the back of her legs chirping like a cricket and disappeared. I made breakfast and set down a portion of halfburned eggs on her plate. I

    I cautioned Lois to stop running. Especially with cars moving out of their parking space. "You left her with the scissors?" He said to me. "You're a real dumbass." My face turned hot. Lois laughed. We walked to a bus and I let them go in. Never in my life have I been so nervous about going out with my siblings. I patted my fingers on my thighs and I looked out the window at the streets for anything malicious around here. Dad worked in close association with damage control and architects. My mom worked for an oil company. I hoped they wouldn't press charges. Beck was reading a news report about me on a murderous spree, stealing jewels and wreaking havoc everywhere I went. That I needed to be put to a stop."I can't believe this guy. Maybe it's a different robot...Maybe not but he rescued me.""It's a different guy." I brushed my arm. I couldn't let anyone know. I gaped at Zed setting down popcorn and a squirrel grabbed his hand to fill up its mouth. He peered up at the two of us

    I was about to pass out when he grunted. He spent two minutes reviewing my stuff and I exchanged my notes for Morty's because I didn't to fail. He cleared his throat. "Well done everyone. I'm glad everyone turned up early about something for once." I thought that was the end of my dread but we had a surprise test. I didn't study. "Did he talk about a test?" I said and Mort looked at me. "Did he not talk about any tests?." He muttered a sentence in Spanish and flipped his table up. I grabbed a piece of paper. I saw him yesterday with Oogie. He seemed to be immersed in his paperwork. "Remember, this test will make up for 90 percent of your final grade, and as for many of you who don't turn up for classes? Good luck." I was conflicted. 90% was too ridiculous. I didn't want to fail but I didn't want to cheat either. He was looking at me funny. Mister Alan Greyson moved up the stairs and stood behind us."I forgot to study," I whispered and Mort flipped his paper. It was blank. "Me too

    We took laps. I admitted that I felt like I was running through mud. I was nervous about this impromptu blind date that Beck set up for me. Maybe he planned this the whole time, maybe Izzy was pretending. Mort could do anything. He thrived in spontaenity. My watch beeped. I was 30 minutes from getting home. I had to beg Mort to hurry up and I hopes that I was so occupied by my work that this date wouldn't go to plan so I could forget it and about everything else. Mort looked so happy that I felt guilty about it. It seemed to take his mind off whatever he was going through back at home."You're coming to my place, are you not?" Amir said in the back seat spraying his hair. I coughed flapping the spray away. I forgot that I had to take care of the kids. I was sure that Mrs Aquila had updated my dad again about it again. "Oh man." I whispered. "You better be prepared." He cackled. "They bite." I was sure he was just messing with me. I had a task today to finish my obstacle course and

    With the portal-like rift pulsating before them, Zack and Gwen exchanged one more glance, a mixture of apprehension and curiosity in their eyes. Captain Alissa and her Morphian Strike team remained vigilant, ready to respond to any developments.Zack: (determined) "Gwen, we didn't sign up for this adventure expecting it to be easy. Let's find out where this portal leads."Gwen: (resolute) "You're right, Zack.

The ground beneath their feet was not Earthly soil, but a crystalline surface that shimmered like a thousand stars.Captain

    Zack wanted to leave a mark but he was afraid that he would go down with the authorities. It was against the law to distribute without a license but there were so many starving.He felt like he was being drawn from different directions. He couldn't bring himself to close up, but Vorax told him they would have to keep this a secret but to what end? He was paralyzed, they wanted different things.He gave out foodstuff and passed out water. He watched the cameras as a man in a white robe approached."Do you know who this is?" Vorax could have not been more paler. He kept his composure and arrived at the door.Zack approached the door."Open up at once."The security guards were infuriated."We did not approve of this activity."Vorax glanced at Zack. "I belong to the Morphian government if that's what you're asking. Zachary Trevor certified mech soldier at your service.""He is here because of me. I orchestrated this charity.""Vorax once again you have proven to be a hazard in this c

    The lieutenant colonel and the rest of the MST joined Gwen and they watched the ship leave. She turned off her comms. Hoping she didn't make a mistake by letting him go.Echo, Lance and Raymond gathered. "I've done a research_""Since when?" Raymond asked recovering."Since now. He was right. We're going after him." Lance said.Raymond felt guilty for betraying Zack.... Zack watched space, it was incredibly dark. He smiled at the galaxies. "This will never get old." He expected a blow to the head but Vorax joined him."It's nothing new."He gazed at the interiors. "So this is what it feels like to be inside of Zoldor." "You'll get used to it." Zack retorted.Vorax glanced at him and his eyes crinkled. They stood in the awkward silence."So, how long have you been on combat training?""A millennium.""How old are you?""2500, that's 25 in the Terran time zone.""You're 25?""Is that wrong?" He asked."Do you think it's wrong?" Zack watched him intrigued. He waited as he put the Zo

    "Of course not, you can trust me.""Well, you're wrong for taking their side. Your people can be wrong too." He said walking faster."You're giving it away after all you've been through?""I know, I just need to have a little faith." He said. "Besides the videos."She shut her eyes. "Oh...You're going against everything you've stood for just to help someone you barely even know. You're risking your career.""I don't have time for this. I don't stand for this either, I'm on his side and there's nothing they or you can do about it."He focused on the camera and left."Who are they?" Gwen folded her arms.He walked away from her. Zack approached Vorax alone, the behemoths turned their heads and parted ways when he walked boldly and swiftly towards Vorax who was sitting on a chair. He didn't know what he was grappling with.He had to save the Thegronians against all odds."I suppose your way did not work," Vorax said.Zack dropped his kit in the ship. He was done talking.

    Zack watched the images of his predecessors by flicking a button. He recalled what Deuce had said to him, he didn't seem pleased. "I lost." He buried his head inbetween his knees. He frowned clenching his hand. He couldn't just sit there and sulk. He hefted a sword swinging it. He wouldn't let Vorax beat him so easily."Combat mode." The sparring bots emerged from their chambers to attack him, their eyes flashed red running at him.Zack kicked back to dodged the shots. Gwen watched as he ravaged through the hourde swinging the staff. He jumped mildly twisting his body to stab the bot. He grabbed one by the core and squeezed it. Throwing it against the metallic wall, it dented. Another tossed a rock at him. He flipped over its head and he blasted it with a watch. He twisted kicking another. It had him in a crossbody position. Zack yanked its arm off causing himself to fall upside down. He grabbed its head inbetween his legs and tossed it to the wall. Gwen arrived at the control r

    Zack had a lot to accomplish. He couldn't act with his colleagues. He rushed towards Lance who watched from afar.In the arena secluded for training. Zack and Lance exchanged blows and their swords clashed.Zack flipped over his head and landed on the tip of his toes. He gasped gazing at the tear on his suit."I am the fastest thing alive." Lance boasted grinning.Echo rolled her eyes watching from the nosebleed.Gwen watched biting her lower lip."What do you even see in that guy? He's obviously fighting a losing battle."Gwen frowned acknowledging it but she couldn't help it. "You're doing great."Zack held up his buffer barely registering her words. He knew Lance was holding back. None of it felt satisfactory. He gave it all he had to see how sharp his reflexes were.Lance waved a hand to his mouth yawning and he blocked his fist. Tossing him to the other side. He turned to the girls. "I am the greatest gladiator in all of Morphius_"Zack punched him. Lance landed on his face."Tha

    Amidst the solitude, Zack sat alone in his spacious house, the silence around him as heavy as the weight he was about to lift. Echo, once his constant companion, had also ventured into the world of employment, leaving Zack with his thoughts. He decided to fill the empty wall with inspiration, pinning a poster of his favorite bodybuilder as a daily reminder of his goals.With determination burning in his eyes, Zack grasped the dumbbells, ready to push himself to new limits. "I'm gonna get stronger. Better," he muttered as he launched into his workout.Each rep felt like a step closer to his aspirations, and with each record-breaking lift, Zack's motivation soared. The sweat poured, but his spirits were high, driven by a newfound strength he hadn't thought possible.However, amid his physical triumphs, Zack couldn't escape a lingering sense of passivity in his life. Solitude loomed like a threatening shadow, and he grappled with the daunting prospect of going through this transformation

    Zack and Gwen arrived at the house, their eyes taking in the impressive sight before them. "Pretty wild, isn't it?" Zack commented, his excitement palpable.Gwen glanced at the well-maintained lawn and the spacious garage. "It's beautiful," she replied, her voice filled with admiration.They stepped inside, exploring each room with curiosity. "Five bedrooms," Zack noted, mentally calculating the potential."That's a fair deal," Gwen muttered, her mind already sorting through financial plans.Zack leaned closer to her, his voice lowered. "Say, 10-14 years, and I'll be out of debt," he whispered."Why are you whispering?" Gwen asked, puzzled by his privacy. Her question echoed in the empty room, eliciting a chuckle from Zack.He rolled his eyes playfully and gestured towards a walk-in closet. "We have a walk-in closet too," he declared, attempting to change the subject."Why didn't you tell me you were getting a house?" Gwen questioned, a mix of surprise and annoyance in her voice."Beca
