2024-10-29 19:42:56The rapid, metallic clang of gunfire echoed through the dimly lit alley. My shoulder screamed in pain as I dived behind a stack of wooden crates, the harsh breaths escaping my lips accompanied by the frantic thumping of my heart. Kendra's earlier appearance, now in the form of a lethal killing machine, had caught me completely off guard.
From my hiding spot, I fumbled for the rifle, desperately needing some firepower to defend myself. The darkness was my only ally as I felt her approaching, the whirring of her robotic limbs reverberating in the eerie silence.Morty had fallen, unconscious and vulnerable, and I couldn't allow this menace to reach him. My other wound, from her previous attack, had miraculously healed again, a testament to the unsettling side effects of whatever had been injected into my system. A disturbing thought crossed my mind: was I becoming something more than human?The inhuman footsteps grew fainter as the Klozandroid continued to advance. She had morphed into a human form, rendering her nearly invisible in the shadows. I couldn't afford to let her slip away, to blend into the crowd of innocent people. I needed to stop her, and I needed to do it now.Taking a deep breath, I prepared myself for a confrontation. Gathering my resolve, I abandoned my cover and moved quietly towards Morty's fallen form. My friend needed help, and I had a strange feeling that he held answers to the bizarre events unfolding around us.Morty stirred, his consciousness returning. "Zack, is that you?""Yeah, it's me," I whispered, crouching beside him. "Are you okay?""Kendra... she's a killing machine," Morty stammered, his voice trembling with fear. His gaze darted around as if searching for the robotic menace."Did you say anything to her?" I asked urgently, trying to keep him focused."No," Morty replied, his eyes distant as if lost in thought. "She already knows everything about me. It's like she can read my mind.""We need to find the Box," I said, keeping my voice low. "It's the only way to stop her."Morty's brow furrowed in confusion. "Box? What box?"I knew he'd had enough for one night. Gathering Morty to his feet, we needed to get him somewhere safe. Before leaving, I couldn't resist taking one last look at the eerie sight of Kendra's red eyes glowing in the dark. It was clear she was far more than meets the eye.As we hurriedly retreated, leaving the shadowy alley behind us, I couldn't help but wonder about the secrets hidden beneath the surface of our seemingly ordinary lives. And with that, the unraveling mystery grew deeper and more complex, plunging us into a world of unexplainable phenomena and lurking dangers.My phone buzzed, distracting me from my thoughts. I had Frank's number from my father's journal. It was time to make a call, for we had stumbled upon something far bigger and more ominous than we could have ever imagined.

Mister Wigglesworth sat up from his chair "You lost the machine!?" He looked dismal and I raked my hair feeling terrible and all the same useless."I'm sorry, I just didn't want Morty to get vaporized. But we can find her, right?" I encouraged.He worked on his computer fixated. "No, Klozandroids are extremely hard to pursue, especially one that shapeshifts," He said and I gulped. "I don't have much time. Ash gave me 2 days and this is the second." He searched his monitor for anything suspicious on the map. "And they are extremely dangerous," His eyes stirred momentarily and then he passed me a small cardboard parcel. I took it and read the label, unfolding it to pick out a key. It jingled in my hand. "What's this for?" I read the caption and, it had the VW sign. I realized that letter V was actually a boomerang. A decoy."It's the key to the Volkswagon Bug,""You want me to ride that hunk of junk?" Seriously? I'd be the laughingstock of the entire town. I wouldn't want Amir to see

"Step 1. Be unpredictable,"The robots were a challenge. One spun and tried to kick me, I clasped its foot in-between my hands and my knee went down and my foot pushed backwards against the ground.My hands crackled with electricity. Its eyes flashed, and I staggered forward when the other one booted me on the back of my head. I almost blacked out when I collided with the first one. I dropped and crawled away with a hand on my head and shuddered. Then my senses spurred on and I spun my body up, on my hands to evade a sweeping kick and flipped back blocking a heavy fist and I slammed my foot into the red bot's knee, it sparked after I crippled it.Their eyes flashed red. More emerged from the suitcase doubling up to fourteen_as much as I could count. "There's too many!" I said disoriented by them shuffling again. Mister Wigglesworth clenched his fist.

"You think it's broken?""Ha ha, as soon as the Box gets to Mister Wigglesworth, then we're good," I held it carefully and it wore on me like a sleeve. I pushed it off."What the hell!?" Morty pulled, it stretched like rubber and flickered sewing itself on to me.Seymour pawed at the remains in fascination."Zack!!" My dad was home and his voice was getting louder as he came by."Yeah, Zack!!" I snuffed at Lois's voice. She can barely put her sentences together and copies anyone who talks."Help," The alien stuff was creeping up to my face and I wheezed craning my neck away from it.He checked the house for any anomalies and glared at me. "What in the world are you wearing?"I hid the boot behind the rails."It's his costume," Morty said casually patting my head. The substance scaled up my neck and I hooded my face and I huffed at the holes he poked on it."Polkuhgeist,""It's an award-winning costume all right," Beck blew a raspberry at me holding a white package and a bottle of cho

The jets stopped for a moment, I spun over falling from the sky, diving in one direction, I was losing altitude and the red exclamation points were filling up my view. I glared at the trees.[ 3000 ft...2000 ft...500ft ]"Glider," The wings on my suit extended as I was plummeted and the traction in the wind pushed me back to a standing posture as I reached the dark park's proximity. I was hyperventilating. I searched the flaming field, the ship was a huge wreck. I lunged after her."A new knight?" She appeared confused and twirled her weapon. Well it doesn't matter,"We ran toward each other. She kicked me away brawling with Mister Wigglesworth. In the collision, I saw her claw emerging under him spinning rapidly and I shot it, the other whirled around her gripping my throat."Whoa!" I spun upside down and hit another tree. She dunked me into a puddle. He broke free of the collision and she screeched at the laser he shot in her eyes, he spun her arm around her neck and the claw ope

My dad had a project so he would be out for a wek, I didn't enjoy the look of things after three days, Beck expected me to stand up to Aunt Deirdre to leave and he kept bugging me. He had a hard time communicating his needs so I ended up doing all the talking. "Beck, you can't just tell her to leave, it's wrong." I was starting to worry about dad not coming home, there hasn't been any calls every five minutes or messages, I was getting a sick feeling in my stomach. Maybe the project had been further delayed. "Where are you?" I called, Mort's family were leaving for Cancun and Beck signed up late for summer camp, so he was staying at home. THIS NUMBER DOES NOT EXIST1 week pushing, I never expected things to get gloomier from there. I called his other friends were starting to show up at our house, even his colleagues who made the trip with him. The project had been finalized."Maybe he got lost," Lois sniffed.

] I held my breath as they walked out of the place. I swallowed and reached the path they followed, and I paused where they stayed observing people in mechanical nimbi, it was like a ring but people were stuck in the middle with their hands and legs bound. There were monitors above them. I walked closer and saw tubes positioned around on the floors avoiding each other like roots and red lights flowed through them. I heard them screaming in agony and I grimaced at the videos of what may have been their most terrible experiences, being played over and over again. "Please..." A woman cried. "Please I can't take this anymore." She cries out when a Klozar aimed a spear at her throat. Another trooper turned a knob and the people started to shudder. The psychological torture was getting worse. Just then, I saw a monitor where there was an empty nimbus, it was still playing and what I saw shook me. She was putting on her helmet on her blonde hair and kit. She was in a brown tartan shirt, glo

I put the vehicle at full speed, I brushed my eyes and I rode the heart away from the exploding ship, I started to grow more impatient as we drew farther apart from the maze. The maze exploded and the heart landed close to the frontier of the city and they stepped outside. "The aliens are coming!" The old man let out pointing. A man in black yanked another civilian out of the ship and they dropped on the heart. My eyes crinkled at Zed coughing with dad on his stomach, weakened from the trip.[ Ding! You have rescued 15 people ] I stared back at the burning maze, there was sign of them. I wondered how the other Zed was coping, for now, it was safer to go home. I sniffed, I never even got to see him. ..."And I get to kiss the frog forever and ever and ever and_," Lois told and Zed's hair stood up in terror at that and he sighed."No, Lois, some frogs are actually very toxi...yes, forever and ever," He crossed his fingers. She smiled at him and showed signs of tiredness, yawning wh

"Surrender the suit alien or face justice," My receptors focused on it, blinking and zoomed in. I was preparing for another strike. Its dual cannons lit up."Activating Mecha Mode," I said and my suit overlapped like dominoes from my fingers up to my arms and face, it changed to a silvery design with black gloves.I saw blue and Zed backed down at the heart portions coming in and the heart buzzed flying over into the tight metal hurricane rotating and assembled itself in its core. I gazed at the Mecha as it treaded over the forest, it towered over us seven hundred times taller with purple layouts on its spherical torso/head. It was humanoid."Go!" I leaped as a few parts accommodated me into the chamber. Zoldor was made entirely of a shiny white metal with steel attachments screwing its joints in, it had a sturdy pelvis and strong arms. Its mech-metacarpal hands opened to grip the sword with a powerful magnet swiping it in front of itself. Zoldor's yellow eyes flashed as it stood ta

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 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 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 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.
