Kane rammed the old man to the ground.

Luke took out the goodies in his coat and then gave it to Josh who laughed.

"Please don't take my coat." The old man said. "It gets cold at night."

Zack shuddered looking at the other prisoners. His dad told him never to fight in the playpen because he always got in trouble. And so he let people bully him to keep him out of trouble. He clenched his fists.

He had the desire to play it safe and let things happen or ensure his safety by making things happen. The external factor is the old man. He wasn't sure he could do it, but his eyes were glassy, it was up to him now.

"Hey, Kane, I'm not your calf, I'm done being pushed around." He poised with his fists out and he threw a few swings and the group of people focused on him. One of them grinned.

Reggie folded his arms with a cigarette in his mouth. "This boy is dumb."

Zack eyed him. He was playing between what was expected of him and how to switch things up.

He just wasn't sure if he could take hi

    "But did I?" Kane faced him. "Did I kill the old fart, brother man?""Stop hitting me.""I'm not hitting you, doofus, I'm giving you a reality check." Kane said swallowing hard. Luke hardened. "That's cool, thanks for saving my life." He didn't want to seperate from them, if he did then he would make an enemy out of them. They were all he had. He feared being outed but he didn't want to pretend. "Moron." Kane said.That guy would have killed him at the chance he got but he didn't, he saw the intensity in his eyes, hatred interplaying with fear. He was scared of him. Scared for himself. Kane was right, if he kept letting his guard down then someone would slit his throat sooner or later. The warden frowned at Zack from the outside. He wanted to break his spirit, to teach the brothers a lesson. He had 24 hours to stay in isolation. Zack paled, it was like his worst nightmare. He stayed in the cell. The cops guffawed."Stupid bitch."They called him names for taking the stupid risk

    Reggie rubbed his mouth. "No! I don't want it to work you fucking dingus! I killed her lover, that's why I'm stuck here." He muffled instead of acting out violently, his hand shook on his alcohol. He looked like he was crying for help. He seemed like the kind of person that would kill for money too. "I can't...not again. Not ever.""Why don't you just give her a chance?""You don't know anything, she's a greedy woman just like the rest of them. I'd rather be here where everyone is looking out for themselves. At least the wankers are open about it. I like being in jail, this is my home. And booze makes me feel alive!""Shut up you dick!" An inmate shouted.Zack stood up. "This isn't your home. Maybe she has something vital to say."Reggie looked scarred. His eyes tilted. "I tried to please her and her family. She was kind, sweet and gentle, maybe greedy. I don't understand why she changed so drastically, she was mean tempered. She doesn't want any kids but I catch her staring at other

    Gondomier walked towards the prion cells where Tibeus stayed. He was listless and the only one who managed to evade the Nimbus. Tibeus crumbled in the jail after he had been beaten, scarred, electrocuted. "Don't worry, even if you leave your wretched body, you will feel the pain. Let's see what will become of you if I slit your throat.""You can kill my body but you will not kill my spirit." Tibeus said."Typical. So you say. But I still have control over the others." He forced him to face the wounded warriors and Zed who was degutted. Tibeus's eyes rounded. "No.""Zed betrayed me but I am a merciful man. I will not kill him. Just yet."Gondomier's eyes turned glassy at his friend. Besides he was beyond redemption. "What are you planning to do? Now that you have the Morphin Box."He grinned and walked over to the monitor. Tibeus quieted, he maintained calm while he spoke. "And then what?"Gondomier clutched his throat. "I am not doing this so everyone will love me but learn to fea

    Zack paled when he realized he could have been chopped in half with a shotgun if he made any attempts to escape. They went further down the lane and he drifted to a narrow road scraping against the alley. "This ride is way too slow.""Merciful heavens. I've been using this baby since I was in college."They disengaged and they ducked at the shots running towards a bystander who was drinking a glass of soda. "Hey!" She said. "You can't just.""I'm a detective." She glanced at Zack as if to look for some amount of support. She let him take her car and her dog barked."We're just having another bad day, mittens."Conrad cursed, he put his car insurance at the back of his mind. He was laser focused on the road. The vans sped after them and he took the shortest routes he could remember. Zack changed into a black suit and Guard Dog barked. He heard ten pop noises and the vans stopped. The last van came after them and Conrad shot at the van, his gut wrenched at turning against the law. "Sh

    They rushed after him. "Get him!" "My friends are kind of impatient with me. Stop it fellas." He forced a laugh pulling her in the way before they got to him. They went around her.He kneed one in the gut. The other grabbed him from behind in a shoulder lock.He was more aware of the situation now.He had the impulse to give in but Guard Dog rushed in front of one of them and he crumbled. He softened at Guard Dog.Julie brushed her cheek surprised and she mugged at the engine oil on her cheek. "Ew."Conrad frowned. "What were you doing? I can't even trust you to get a fucking gallon of Gasoline." He exploded. "I was nervous okay?" He offered and filled up the car."Besides that I thought you didn't trust me." He grinned.Conrad growled. "No because you're too busy flirting.""I wasn't flirting." He laughed."Right. I thought you were plotting to escape."He swallowed hard at that, it didn't come to mind. He was just hoping to compromise the mission and Conrad winced at a car's headl

    Julie gasped at the cars on either side of them zipping further. "So Dexter, you're in the driver's seat huh? Did you kidnap him too?""No, he's actually sick. I'm just helping out." He said."Oh, that's why you're so pale." She rubbed her hair. Pulling back to the window.He hoped she didn't think it was contagious. She thought he had something else on his mind. She could feel it."Yes." Conrad said glad for the cover up. And the space."You really wanna go to jail? You're crazy, I love that!" Julie tapped her foot. "I suppose you're tired of all the shit that's been happening to you outside huh.Zack's eyes turned glassy under the lights. He was laser focused on the road and the theoretical road ahead. He was anxious. "Can we stop talking for a few minutes? And stop that."Julie's foot-tapping stopped. "I'm sorry, it's a nervous habit." She said drily.He was about to say something else. She quieted but looked like she was going to explode from not talking.Conrad glanced at Zack

    Julie's fingers dug into her seat. She inhaled and exhaled. Guard Dog dropped on the windshield.They groaned stepping outside of the steaming car.Zack turned red and Conrad was pale."What were you thinking!? You're sabotaging us aren't you?" Conrad said.His jaw dropped. "I wasn't sabotaging any of us. You drove us into a ditch, Sherlock, we could have gone the other way." Zack said. "Sabotaging?" Julie went off the rails. "Why would he sabotage us? Are you sabotaging, Zack and Conrad? You two are crazy!" She couldn't believe she put her life on the line."I wasn't trying to kill us." Conrad's shoulders shook.Julie glanced at Conrad. He looked ruffled. He had nasty eyebags and his eyes were red. He looked like a mad person with his hair in different directions, his coat was ruffled and he spoke with no filter."Either way this is your fault and you need to accept it." Conrad poked his chest.His words felt like a punch to the face.Zack paled. He just realized that he had been a

    She rushed to see Conrad who was sprawled on the floor in the ditch. "Conrad! Why did you leave him here?" She said to him with teary eyes.Zack was confused. "Conrad." He jumped in.They rented an apartment and Zack placed a towel to his head. Guard Dog's battery read 19%, he scanned Conrad and projected his X-ray to Zack on his visors in the dark. "He hasn't any broken limbs so he must have dropped and fainted. I shouldn't have left the car window open at night."She softened. Gazing at her nails."The cold must have triggered his sickness." He nudged Zack to pay attention.Then he glitched. HE HAS SADZack saw it. Maybe he had a glitch again. Perhaps it was a funny language for him. Was he sad or was Conrad sad? He glanced at him sleeping.Guard Dog detected that Zack's serotonin, testosterone, and dopamine levels (which were happy hormones ) were dropping.He was drained and he couldn't help crying. Sometimes he didn't entertain unwanted emotions for so long that they came pour

    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.

    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.

    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
