Zaria Dove Eyes Full of Fear
When the preparations were complete, the area was a chaotic yet strategic landscape of cover points and firepower. We could only hope it would be enough.Turning back, we regrouped with Jennifer. Before leaving, I issued one final command. "Head to the last battleground," I instructed, my voice firm. "It's an open field—no buildings, no unnecessary cover. You'll be safer there, William wouldn't suspect you all being there."With that, we moved out, hearts steeled for the battles ahead, every step taking us closer to whatever end awaited us.When I reached the hidden city, Jennifer stood behind the machinery, even though she was very brave, I could still see a hint of fear in her eyes. “We have the machines ready,” she said, her voice steady despite the gravity of the situation. I glanced at the massive machine standing before us. The machine was an impressive feat of engineering—a bulky, metallic structure with a series of thrusters and stabilizers extending from its base.It looked li
Zaria Dove Enzo's Exam
Quickly mounting in the vehicle, he turned himself invisible so I wouldn’t go after him, and then he made his way toward the bottom of the island to see what was wrong with the thruster.It appeared that the two of the nozzles had lost their grip on the island.Removing the hood of his vehicle, Enzo acted quickly, tying himself with a safety rope before he reached toward the bottom of the island.The howling wind and the vibrations from the thrusters made it the most difficult journey.He switched on his headlamp, the beam cutting through the dust and smoke, illuminating the problem area.There were two of the nozzles that had lost their grip. The bolts securing them had sheared off under the immense pressure.Enzo's mind raced as he assessed the situation. He knew he had to act fast before the island’s tilt became catastrophic.“Enzo, report your status!” Jim's voice crackled through the communicator.“I’m at the thruster. Two nozzles are loose. I’m going to resecure them manually,”
Zaria Dove Putting the Puzzle Piece back
If they succeeded in destroying it, the island would surely fall down. I grabbed my weapon and sprinted toward the edge of the island, under where the thruster was, firing at the drones as I ran.“Enzo, Veronica, cover me!” I shouted.Together, we fought off the drones, defending the thruster with everything we had.The air was heavy with the smell of burning metal and the sound of explosions.But we held our ground, refusing to let the drones succeed.As the last of the drones were destroyed, the sky began to clear. The flying lab slowed down above us, and it slowly got back and then disappeared.Relief washed over us but we knew this was just the beginning. William’s lab was still a threat, and we had to find a way to bring it down before it could cause any more destruction.The battle for survival was far from over.Finally, the readings indicated that we had achieved a stable speed. The islands were still falling but at a much slower rate. The catastrophic collapse had been preven
Zaria Dove In The Jaws of Crocodile
I had barely escaped before, surrounded by the starving immortals who roamed these halls, their lifeless eyes and skeletal figures forever marked in my mind. But the place was nothing like it was before, maybe because I never made it to this area.“We need to locate the missile control room,” I said, trying to remember this place.Enzo nodded and motioned for me to follow. We moved swiftly and silently, avoiding the occasional patrol. Our path led us to a large door marked “MISSILE CONTROL”.“Here it is,” Enzo whispered. “Let’s go.”Opening it was not as hard as we thought, but we made our way in.Inside the control room, we found two massive missiles ready for launch, beyond those missiles, we could see an open area.The room was filled with sophisticated equipment, and a large control panel covered one wall. Each missile was capable of destroying an entire city, the room was empty, which meant they hadn't planned to launch the second one yet.I immediately got to work, my fingers fl
Zaria Dove Dance of Fire
The small space had a single window, old and rusted shut. With some effort, Kai managed to force it open, the metal creaking in protest. He helped Ella through first, watching as she climbed out into the dim light outside. Then, he followed swiftly behind her, landing lightly on his feet, clutching his daggers in both hands.They crouched low, hidden by the crumbling walls of the church as they observed their surroundings. This area wasn’t as high from the ground as the one they had come through in the cabin. It might work to their advantage, giving them a chance to escape undetected.Kai turned to Ella, a determined look crossing his face. "I have an idea," he said, lowering his voice. "But I need you to stay here."Ella’s face contorted with worry. "No, I’m coming with you," she insisted, her voice barely above a whisper.For a moment, they stood at odds, the weight of the situation bearing down on them both. After a tense minute of arguing, Ella finally agreed, nodding reluctantly.
Zaria Dove Clash of Creepers
“You’ve deceived everyone, even your own kind,” Jackallion spat, dodging the attack from Libianca. “You’re nothing but a coward hiding behind lies and manipulation.”Libianca’s eyes blazed with rage. “You think you can judge me? I’ve done what I must to survive!”Amelia, taking advantage of Libianca’s distraction, aimed her crossbow and fired. The bolt struck Libianca’s shoulder, forcing a howl of pain.She moaned, giving Jackallion the opening he needed. He jumped forward, driving his blade deep into her chest.Libianca gasped, her eyes wide with shock and disbelief. “No… this can’t be…”“It’s over,” Jackallion said coldly, twisting the blade. “You’re finished.”Libianca crumpled to the ground, her body twitching as the last of her life drained away.Jackallion stepped back, breathing heavily. Amelia lowered her crossbow, her face displayed a grim satisfaction.Jackallion stood over Libianca's lifeless body, breathing heavily. The remaining creepers gathered around, their eyes wide w
Zaria Dove A new discovery
I dropped everything I was doing and bolted after her, my heart racing. Something had to be wrong. Jennifer was tough, not the type to panic easily. I followed her down the winding path to the bunker, the cool, damp air filling my lungs. As we reached the entrance, a crowd of people had gathered, making a path for me to pass through.“Zaria!” A familiar voice rang out. My dad. He stood there, cleaned up and looking far better than the last time I’d seen him, though his face was still covered with worry. “Thank goodness you’re alright,” he said, pulling me into a quick embrace before stepping aside to let Jennifer lead me deeper inside.“This way,” Jennifer urged, her voice low as she guided me toward a dimly lit corner of the bunker. She stopped in front of a large, rusted wheel embedded in the circular wall—a giant mechanism that looked like it belonged to an old bank vault.“I don’t think Veronica knows anything about this,” Jennifer whispered, her gaze fixed on the wheel. “But it’s
Zaria Dove No Time to Grief
“No, Zaria! It all happened right before our eyes,” Kai said, his voice thick with disbelief. The weight of the moment pulled us together in a tight group hug, but the shock left me frozen. How could this be real? Why would anyone kill Bella? She wouldn’t hurt a soul."No..." I whispered, the denial clawing at my throat. "This can't be happening!" My voice broke into a yell. "How could they kill her? How could—" But my words faded, leaving me breathless, my mind spinning as if the very air had been stolen from me.I pulled away from them, my body trembling. “Prepare! Prepare for battle. We’re going to make him pay!” I demanded, wiping my tear-streaked face with the back of my hand. My rage boosting my strength with every second. I nodded, more to myself than anyone else, as the reality of the situation sank in.“Zaria!” Ella’s voice was soft, her steps cautious as she approached, concern evident on her face. But I reached out first, gripping her shoulders, forcing her to look into my
