"No. No one else is here, Amir."

"Are you sure? Did you bring food? It's a pity if he finds it. I'm sure my dog is a pig in disguise."

"Yes, it's our snack, he can have it." Gwen said.

Zack slumped at the van, he felt like he was outside looking in ironically.

He glanced at Conrad hiding in the car too. The set of his shoulders were tense. They were quiet. He looked like he preferred it that way.

Rupert charged across the park and lunged into the car nipping and slobbering on his face. He held him close. Rupert barked and he plodded him to be quiet. "Shh, shh."

"Rupert!"

Seymour emerged from the house stretching and he brushed his fur around Amir's ankle and licked along his hind leg to make sure his scent was on him.

Zack gazed at his cat alive and hearty. He maintained a calm expression even though he wanted to retrieve him back. Rupert whimpered prodding him to go outside.

"Go go." He tossed a drumstick outside and Rupert went after it.

Mrs Akilah emerged.

"Amir, how many tim

    "You promised so are we getting coffee or not?" He said pulling her out of her thoughts.She pursed her lips and she clapped his hand.He pulled her up. "Certainly." Zack lowered his sword surprised. "Really?" She took her jacket shaky. "Yes. As promised."He turned grim. "Oh. I was kidding about the coffee." He thought half disappointed.Gwen exhaled. They got to the ship, Mort huffed gazing at the can of soda. He flicked it at the can and missed."This is hopeless." Mort said."It's all we have and_"They paused at the Klozarian ship headed towards them.Conrad clenched his teeth. "How the hell did they find us?"Zack was jittery from the coffee or the vessel headed towards them."We gotta go." They rushed towards to Gwen's ship and Mort gasped at Guard Dog."Hey!" They paused as the doors opened and Conrad aimed closing an eye on the scope.The first person he saw was a large alien in a burgundy suit. He grinded his teeth at Zandax who had a golden Z on his chest. Zack frowne

    "Then who are you?"Zack didn't know whether to feel sympathy or anger or fear for Zandax. As upsetting as it was, it wasn't about him. It was about Zandax. An alien going through an identity crisis. He had been lied to most of his life that he was no good. In a sense, it rang true but this one was muddled by the opinions of others that he couldn't seem to understand himself anymore. He didn't know what to tell him."I am deeply sorry that I tried to kill you. I did it for honour but nothing brings me any solace."Gwen softened. She fidgeted. "I feel empty and weak. I never seem to do anything right." Zandax knelt there feeling dejected. Aware of his own failings and his anger, now he was in front of the one person who could help him and he turned him down. Zack worked his jaw. Maybe he was lied to but it didn't excuse the fact that he tried to kill him. Zack left him quickly conflicted and frustrated.Zack looked lost. He sat on a tire swing holding on to the chains. He saw him

    "Rule #1, never assume that your enemy will spare your life." Broseam said proudly."Duh, I kinda figured that out." He said and he glanced at Zandax watching them."Rule #2, trust your instincts.""Behind you!" Zack pointed and Broseam rammed him down. "Nice try. I am not so easily distracted Trevor."Zack laughed. "Does everyone just make up their own rules?""It's the code, what I was taught, it's not quite different from the handbook." Broseam said smiling."Great, more codes." Zack said."It's not that bad, a little structure won't hurt anyone." He patted his back with his metallic arm laughing heartily."Easy for you to say." He laughed, certain that he needed a chiropractor now.Broseam beamed at him. "You SHOULD have more structure. It helps.""Not for everyone, Bro." Zack said mildly annoyed by his domineering attitude."It's Broseam, no monikers...you should. And as for Zandax." He pointed to the alien isolated from everyone else."He is daft and evil. Who knows what evil lu

    Mort patted his back. "Sorry for the advice."Mort walked out and curled in a corner crying in secret. Zack gazed at Gwen with longing. She had a talk with the others and stood on her tip toes talking to Broseam who placed a hand on her head. The other men tried not to laugh. He smiled with longing dreamy eyed. He felt guilty because he once had a crush and it burned him. But her feelings were mutual. Were they just there because she was alien and he had no chance with humans? Maybe he was just a simpleton longing for something or someone he couldn't have or he couldn't give. He could settle. Gwen glanced at Zack watching and she turned red maybe from him watching her being made fun of. Or just her instincts knowing someone was watching or the unsettling feeling in her midriff.She reciprocated with a casual smile and Zack looked behind him and saw no one was there.She chuckled and he rubbed his hair awkwardly.He approached her and she folded her arms. He paused.Gwen lowered her

    Gwen clenched her fists. "I may be selfish. But you're a liar, Gwen. There is no code is there? You didn't have the guts to tell me no did you?""What does it matter if there isn't any?" She backed away while he approached and she gasped when he walked past her. ... Zandax was trying to figure out the strange soldier toys and blocks. He was anxious about approaching the Morphians. He quivered at the thought of beginning anew. He was faced with shame, worry and doubt. They gazed at him with heady mixtures of animosity, gratitude and suspicion.He wrung his cowl and they chuckled at the toys. Conrad quirked an eyebrow. Keeping his emotions to a minimum."I have some important information to share concerning the infiltration."Broseam sat up with a cup of water frowning. They sat up in attention.He brought a device with footages of the ship to them. The Klozarian mothership with concentric circles pulsing around it."We cannot go back, not without an army." Tibeus proceeded wit

    He went to check on Zandax whose eyes dilated."Is there anyway of knowing we have reached the ship?"Zandax was overcome with fear. Having to face his master again. "Y_yes I do." Zack clenched his gloved fists at Zandax. He was not afraid to strike if he made any U-turns."Sure. Show us the way." They went towards the control board.They detected the large ship. "We'll have to make progress." Broseam said."The MST have not arrived yet." Zandax said. "We cannot leave until we have orders. It's a dangerous minefield."Mort couldn't stand watching them fight. He tried to contact Gwen. Zack stayed in the background."I say onward. We cannot lose the ship. We must attack now."Broseam said. "Backwards." Zandax persisted. Zack was suspicious if Zandax was just trying to spare his own life. They went back and forth with words. Zandax backed away only because he wanted to maintain the peace. Broseam was the boss here. "Why are the ships going in seperate directions?"Conrad arrived ai

    Broseam grinned. "There's the chamber."Conrad took head, he didn't realise how much time had passed by. He was steamrolling through being in the present.They gazed at the chamber full of animals. Zack quirked an eyebrow at the python rolling into a ball on a log of wood. "This is the Lord's menagerie. He collects animals. He wouldn't leave them here." Zandax put to them plainly walking past them with his axes strapped to his back."So we must be close." Zack said gazing at some other giraffes, camels. Snakes, a lion with its mate. Mort paused at a wild dog gazing at him with tears along its eyes. "You're going to be fine." Mort said."I doubt it." Zandax said scared of interacting with him and the harsh realities.They approached a room with red lighting. Zack held his sword running in. Conrad believed that the devil was in the details. This was what they signed up for. He almost didn't realise that Guard Dog was absent.They couldn't find anyone else. The throne room was empty

    Zack frowned. "I know I've been a coward but it doesn't matter now. They're dead, Zed's gone and I'm trying my best, I'm trying to do the right thing.""If you're okay with endangering your parents and the rest of Morphius and Earth, then that's fine." Mort said. He had strangulation marks around his neck."I'm aware of the prospects but Broseam is not as bad as he makes himself to be. He just needs guidance.""You're really the worst judge of character, Gwen. You think you can change everyone, but you can't." Zack said. Gwen's body simmered with rage and frustration. In a world where she was constantly belittled and shamed. Her only defence mechanism was denial. Broseam besides her parents was the only one who saw her in a good light regardless of her limitations. Everyone else thought he was kissing up to her because he had a lower rank but he encouraged her.He made her feel like a whole person. She was validated, she remembered how many times he stood up in her defence to bullies.

    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

    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.

    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
