I remembered what Gwen said, the Klozars shouldn't know that I was still alive. Zed faked my death. As far as they were concerned, they gave it to another earthling. It was over, I thought I would make the tabloids or whatnot but I was temporarily off the hook. Being a hero I no longer had to worry about my security but everyone else around me, even Oogie was invulnerable so my dad, siblings, any other connections all become targets that could be used to hurt me, trap me, or get me killed because I no longer had to worry about my own survival. Emotions like anger, love, and fear were unbelievably overwhelming and could make even the most secure and well thought-out plan crumble. That was the kind of world we lived in. Not to mention that if the government would be trying to control me, turn me into a weapon. Or better yet take away the nanites, god, even Zoldor, they could recreate it or try to make a prototype. No wonder the Morphians were wary of me. They knew about us and they were
"Are you the Mech Soldier or not? Because we saw him take the necklace from you...unless I'm wrong which I amn't.""The lie detector was in good condition. Until you came along, conicidence, I think not.""You're right, I am the Mech Soldier." "You see it's people like you who need to be brought down. A twenty year old boy handling machines like this. The scalding wound on her head indicates a highly concentrated amount of heat. Now tell me, how in the world did you come across such piece of tech?" He said putting out a gun and I looked down at the table ruddy nosed. "Who are you working with?""I don't know anything. I don't know, I was just trying to help her curb the pain. I hold nothing against her.""I know that. I said I wanna know who these people are. Right now. You show them to me or I'll never let you lay your grimy eyes on your family again. It's your choice." I shut my eyes. I had never come face to face which this kind of situation. I had no choice but to follow orders.
"It's a rather volatile means of transportation capable of scattering a person molecularly throughout the universe." Gwen said. "And?""It's never been tested and one wouldn't be able to recover.""Never?" I sat in the corner quiet and he glared at me. "So. What do I do with you?" He said and frowned. Whatever it was was entirely up to him now. "I don't know.""Of course you don't. You'll rot in jail if I had a say about it. You have a lot to compensate for." He said with a bitter edge to his voice. I had college, I just realised how much I disappointed them. "If I'm gone, then who's going to protect my family? They can't know that I'm the Knight, they really can't and the Klozars can't know that I still exist." He scoffed. "You faked your own death too, huh? How nice."I paused at Ash configurating. [ Searching for records ]"Records like what?"[ There is a camera installed in your helmet hat records everything you take notice of ]"Even unconciously?"[ I'm afraid not, Zack.
"I can't choose between my family and the world. That's unfair." "Nothing is fair. You have to make a choice, and need I to remind you that you're not exactly untouchable. You have to face the consequences of your actions. If you don't do something, you will be risking billions of lives on the planet and Morphius. And that is a selfish thing to do." It was up to me now, I thought of jail and this mayhem, they were the only things keeping me from having a good life, from finishing college and becoming a mechanical engineer. To think of leaving school behind and training was unthinkable. If I didn't, there would be no dream left. I swallowed hard watching him leave. I saw my watch across from me on the desk. ...Conrad lay low in armor. The police were geared in Kevlar and they were around the androids in full circle. Captain Snow held up a two-way radio. "Aim...Fire!" Gwen gasped, she laid low after she fought tirelessly, while the bullets flew on the Klozandroids. Conrad put ou
He turned back and he found Zandax leaping toward him. ... I arrived in my suit pushing on and I noticed that Gwen and Conrad were in trouble, I couldn't bring the heart into the battlefield unless the battle escalated but there were no other vehicles around and the big villain was gaining on them. I summoned the heart and a heavy looking Klozarian with an axe on a building whacked at me. It was powerful enough to slam me out of the sky. I landed hard and I coughed turning over. Conrad glanced at me and I summoned the car. The giant leaped down and stumped on me. Messages blurred my face and I gripped him by the neck. He kneed me in the gut."Whoa, whoa, whoa!" He spun me around several times and pounded me against a wall. I fell back and he undercut me to the floor. I had no time to look up."Who are you supposed to be?""I am Zandax, hero of Planet Klozar. Tamer of criminals and fugitives who pose as obstacles to Lord Gondomier." He said. "Some hero you are. Wrecking my home_I
Zandax was happy that he would be returning to Planet Klozar as a revered hero. His family will be happy to have known that he had accomplished the Lord's vision. And brought some form of peace. He was so satisfied with the smile on the Lord's face."We can finally leave this planet now. My Lord. I am eager to spread your reign_""Hold that thought. I want to receive the spoil of war that I have been deprived of for so many decades." He said and Zandax held the Morphin Box. He met a black dog wandering and looking for its owner. Lord Gondomier patted its head. "Such a strange but lovely creature doesn't deserve to roam on this empty path. I'll take this one and train it." The dog's beady eyes shook as Gondomier lifted it and walked away. Zandax gazed at the body of Zack, paling and he flipped his cape behind him leaving. *** Conrad lifted Gwen out of the car and he gazed at a ship in the middle of nowhere, the floors were cracked from little rainfall. The car started to move on its
I was in prison without trial because the councilman Tibeus and I admitted to unlicensed euthanasia. He was ready to throw me under the bus. I was offered a prison ID, stripped down for inspection. I squirmed in an attempt to cover myself. Let me say that embarrassment is one of the worse case scenarios that could ever happen to me. I was self-conscious as they patted me for any foreign objects on my body. Too bad, it was gone now. I walked as stiff as a hiker out of the Arctic to receive my prison orange clothes. Red as a tomato, I was left bare and exposed to my shame. They laughed at me, they knew I claimed to be the Mecha Knight. A fresh wave of pain came over me. Pain worse than embarrassment. I couldn't get the image of Lord Gondomier slaughtering my family out of my head. This was more than I bargained for but Zed had warned me. Tears streamed down my eyes. Where was Zed? Where was he the time the Klozars arrived? He destroyed the entire neighbourhood and there were possib
He was in the clinic and the nurse was no better. He had a persistent headache and the hit added. He tied a bandage around his head and got a pill to level the pain. Losing his mental powers or functions were some of his greatest fears. He was in a prison where everyone were subjected to one kind of mental torture to another. He was going to beat his brains out being a target. He felt he could not go on, he wasted his life trying to help someone who was going through torture and he failed as a Knight. Failed to keep his family safe. He was in a dark place and the only thing eye-opening right now was reality. He brushed his eyes and felt disconnected from his body as he went into the prison yard. Where the prisoners were in grey. He had to look closely for whom may not want him around or empty tables reserved for the brothers. Some of the prisoners were addicts too and they were killers, they wouldn't hesitate to show him his place. He was and he felt trapped, even the weather seem
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. There's something extraordinary on the other side, and we can't turn away from it."With their decision made, Zack and Gwen stepped forward, crossing the threshold of the rift. It felt like being pulled through a swirling vortex, their senses overwhelmed by a kaleidoscope of colors and strange sensations.Moments later, they emerged in an alien landscape. The sky above them was a shade of deep indigo, adorned with multiple moons casting an otherworldly glow. The ground beneath their feet was not Earthly soil, but a crystalline surface that shimmered like a thousand stars.Captain
The bright Las Vegas sun hung high in the sky as Zack Trevor and Gwen prepared for an exhilarating adventure. They stood on the edge of a small airplane, the wind whipping around them, ready for their tandem skydiving experience.Zack, with an undeniable zest for life, grinned at Gwen, his wife, her eyes reflecting a mix of excitement and a hint of apprehension.Zack said grinning. "Gwen, you ready for this? It's gonna be a wild ride!"Gwen smiled nervously smiling. "I trust you, Zack. Let's do this."As they leaped from the plane, the world transformed around them. The roaring wind filled their ears, and the rush of adrenaline surged through their bodies. The sprawling city of Las Vegas stretched out below them, a vibrant mosaic of lights and life.Zack's heart pounded with the thrill of freefall, and Gwen, despite her initial hesitation, soon found herself caught up in the breathtaking beauty of the moment.Their descent continued, and with a graceful swoop, their parachute opened,
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. "We have to g
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
