"Lalna? Lalllnnaaaa?" Xephos called out into the field that was just below the tall castle that towered over him. He had never really taken the time to admire Lalna's building talents, and he wished he had complimented it sooner. Each tile had littler tiles to cover them and make it look so much more detailed. When Lalna didn't seem to hear him, Xephos tried around the side, hoping to find a teleport block or something.

What Xeph didn't know was that the scientist had heard him perfectly. He stared at him through one of the windows at the very top in the storage level, watching the spaceman run to find the mine cart. At this point, Lalna began to panic. He wasn't exactly… in a state of visiting. His castle was a complete disaster, with random parts and projects cluttering the floor. He himself looked more horrible then the floor, for his hair looked as if somebody had set fire to it. His lab coat was almost completely covered with dried red stains and he was sure his face was almost the same. Luckily, there was one project that was finished that would do the job.

"Go get him." Lalna said quickly. Behind him, the noise of something activating sounded and it got louder, then quieter as it walked down the stairs in a calm matter. Lalna smirked, for his spaceman friend was about to meet somebody very special to both him and himself.

As Xephos got out of the mine cart, he watched as it glided backwards down the path for another to use. He was about to walk to the door and call for his friend until something knocked him off his feet! Pain shot through his back and he cried out. Xephos opened his eyes to see a blonde woman. She looked familiar, and Xephos knew right on the ball who it was.

"Lom-!"

"Silence, spaceman." She ordered. Her voice was very different. In fact, it wasn't even her voice. It sounded quite robotic.

"But… what?"

Lalna, who had in this time put on a fresh lab coat and fixed his hair best he could, walked out to notice the scene.

"Ah, hello, Xeph!" He grinned.

"Lalna! What the hell is this?!"

"Oh, right. Don't worry about it," the scientist reassured his friend as he pulled the thing off and stood her aside. Lomadia, or whoever she was, only blinked, looking straight ahead with a blank expression painted on her face. Lalna pulled Xephos up and turned him in the direction of her.

"Xeph, I'm pleased to introduce you to Hann-R!"

Once everybody had heard about the scientist's invention, boy, did they have to see it! All except his enemies, Rythian and Zoey. Lalna only smiled at people wanting to see it, and agreed they could all come over that Saturday. Quicker then he thought, Saturday approached, and Lalna realized he had some unfinished business to attend. So that morning, when he was helping out with Honeydew Inc.'s Factory, he caught Honeydew alone, where nobody could hear him.

In a flash he had the dwarf against the wall, one hand covering his mouth and the other keeping him against the wall the best he could manage. The dwarf was 10 times stronger then him, but he knew Honeydew was scared of him… now, anyways. Honeydew wore a couple bruises and a shiner on his left eye. Sure, Lalna could be blamed for these injuries, but it had to be done. He wasn't listening.

Honeydew's wide black eyes looked the scientist up and down. Lalna leaned in close, and the dwarf could feel his hot breath on his cheek. It smelled of the famous black stuff he made every morning for the gang.

"Have you told anybody?" He hissed, glaring into the dwarfs eyes, wanting to know if he was lying or not. At this point Honeydew became misty. He shut his eyes, wanting the tears to come at another time- preferably the night. He wished so much he had never seen what he had seen that day.

"Hello?! I said have you told anybody?" He hissed again, smashing Honeydew to the wall, making him bite his tongue and cry out. Vigorously he shook his head, wishing Lalna would just let him go, wishing none of this happened!

"And you won't- Right?"

Honeydew nodded.

With this, Lalna released him and backed up, giving him a smile. "Go along now." Honeydew sniffled before quickly moving away and going to rummage through one of the chests. Once he had found what he needed, he quickly fled to another level. Lalna watched his every move, the smile still plastered on his face that seemed to not fade.

For Honeydew would be his next victim. All because he witnessed what he shouldn't have.

People chatted outside of Lalna's Castle, waiting to see what this 'Hann-R' was exactly. What could it do? Sips, Sjin, Xephos, Honeydew, Nilesy, Martyn, and Toby were all there, desperately waiting what was underneath the curtain Lalna had set up in front of his castle.

Nilesy walked from Sips and Sjin, who were deep in a conversation about how Nicholas Cage was underneath the curtain naked, to Xephos, Martyn, Toby and Honeydew.

"Hey, guys!" The pool salesman chirped in his usual cheery voice. "How's your afternoon going?"

"Pretty good, I guess." Xephos shrugged. "Um, where's Lomadia?"

At this, Honeydew froze. Oh, God. This isn't good. He'd realize soon enough that… But how did he not know..? Nilesy opened his mouth to answer, but Lalna interrupted him.

"Alright, everyone! Are you ready to see why all were here?" Lalna asked as he landed beside the velvet red curtain. Everybody cheered. Lalna only smirked, turning to the curtain and ripping it off, revealing what was under it. Some gasped, some only stared in wonder. Hann-R had been cleaned up and shined nicely. There was silence before Nilesy laughed.

"It kind of looks like Lomadia! How'd you do that?" Honeydew's eyes felt as if they were going to pop out. How did he not...?

"She does? Huh, I never really noticed." The scientist giggled. Not his usual giggle though, almost like young girls. This made Xephos a little concerned for his friend.

"Friend..? Are you feeling okay?" Xephos reached out, placing a hand on his shoulder. Lalna shook it off, laughing harder now. His laugh this time. Slowly, he turned to Xephos, another smile on his face that he couldn't seem to shake off. Xephos, a bit startled, stepped back. Sure he knew his friend had lately not been himself, but he was sure that he would have been back to normal by now…

Cautiously, Honeydew reached out a pulled Xephos away, and like he was unconscious, Xephos didn't try to resist. "There's something you should know…" Honeydew sniffled. Xephos snapped out of it, whirling around to see his dwarf friend was almost in tears. Anger rose in Xephos. Not because he was mad at Honeydew, but because he didn't know what was going on.

"What the hell is going on?!" Xeph yelled to nobody in particular.

"Nilesy," Honeydew turned to the pool salesman, hoping he would understand, "how long has Lomadia been away? I want the truth."

"Uh…" Nilesy shifted uncomfortably, not wanting to give an answer. He knew he'd be in serious trouble if he told the truth. "A-a w..."

"A week?"

Nilesy's head shot up, his eyes wide as he nodded. Honeydew sighed, patting the Scot's shoulder.

"What does that have to do with any of this?" Lalna asked the dwarf, glaring daggers at him while he had a hand on Hann-R's shoulder. Nilesy sighed, trying to put the things that just happened together. All of this had to be put together somehow…

Honeydew gulped. He had gotten himself in between a rock and a hard place now. He wanted to tell Xephos, but Lalna would surely kill him if he did. How would he tell him…? He knew the spaceman wouldn't move without and answer. He was very stubborn that way. The dwarf's gaze flashed from Hann-R to Xephos, wishing an idea would come to him.

"Honeydew! Are you even listening?" Xephos shook the dwarf angrily. Honeydew hadn't even noticed him step in his way. He looked up to his friend, tears forming once again. Then he got an idea.

"Xeph…" The dwarf muttered, turning the spaceman around so he faced the android once again. Xephos crossed his arms, but listened to his friend. He didn't want to yell at him, demanding for answers, when he was almost in tears for God knows why.

"Look… look at her. What do you see?" The dwarf sniffled, hoping he would find something to tell her.

Xephos did what he was told and took a long look at the thing. What his eyes wanted to be sucked away into was her eyes. Her brilliant, blue eyes. One of them was glass, sure, but the other one felt painfully familiar.

Lalna smirked. There was no way Xephos would recognise her. Although, the thought made him nervous. He backed into the crowd so he wouldn't be seen. Nobody seemed to care that the scientist had backed out, as they were too busy looking at the android.

Honeydew looked around as he stood by Xeph's side, noticing the scientist had left. A sudden thought had reached him.

"Get me the knife. The large one." Lalna spat. Honeydew whimpered, his hand still his cheek from where he had cut him earlier. He quickly scrambled to the steel counter beside him, pain shooting up his leg. Putting his pain to the side, he grabbed the biggest knife that sat on the counter, and handed it to the blood-covered scientist. He smirked at him before harshly pulling away the knife. Honeydew made his way back to the corner, fear filling his eyes as he watched Lalna grab a permanent marker, drawing where to… cut. Once he was done, Honeydew gulped. Lalna held the knife at the flesh, ready to push down. Honeydew clamped his eyes shut as Lalna made a big deal of carefully cutting through the flesh, cleaning out the stuff he didn't need, and setting it in the bin beside the dwarf. Honeydew was in tears by then, looking at Lomadia's peaceful expression.

"I'm sorry, Lom…" Honeydew whispered, tears streaking his cheeks and mixing with the blood Lalna had sprayed on him.

"So sorry…"

"… Friend?" Xephos' soft voice brought him back to the present. Honeydew was shaking now, as witnessing the death of a friend you'd known for years wasn't easy. He knew what to do now, and without a word, he grabbed Xephos' hand, leading him to the castle top floor. Xephos questioned him every floor they teleported to and from. Honeydew ignored him, trying hard to remember where the room was. Reaching a floor that smelled a familiar scent, the dwarf cringed, backing away from the teleported. He looked around until finding the blocks that led to the room…

Before he could think further, he pushed on random blocks. After pushing about five and having nothing happen, he pushed in a sixth, and the blocks began to rumble, separating to form a dimly lit short hallway that had red handprints on the walls. Honeydew gulped, more memories coming to him like vivid dreams. Still holding his friend's hand, he pushed past the thoughts and dragged him inside, opening the door that the scientist had forgotten to lock that day. A cold blast hit the two and Xephos gasped.

The room was cold alright, but also dark. A dark and mysterious room. The thing that caught Xephos' eye more then the darkness was the sight of dried blood on a stainless steel counter directly in the middle of the room. Slowly, his legs moved without him telling them to, and he studied the room ore closely. There wasn't much on one side, but the other… it held shelves dedicated to only knives and basically anything you could use as a weapon or a tool to leave a great mark. At one end of the counter, a piece of brown leather spotted with blood lay. Xephos reached for it, pulling it to his hands. Behind him, Honeydew gasped. It wasn't just a piece of leather. It was a cap. A leather cap that pilots usually wore. Attached was a pair of unused goggles. It was so dangerously familiar to him that he could picture Lomadia wearing it. It was then that he realized.

She was gone. It was her. How could he have been so stupid…? Tears fell down his cheeks before he even knew it. Soon, her leather cap was being rained on with his tears. He held the hat close to his chest and turned. Lalna, his FRIEND, had killed his GIRLFRIEND.

Lalna, HER friend, had killed her. Murdered her… for what? Some experiment? Not only that, but he had dragged Honeydew into it as well. He better not have killed anybody else…

Honeydew stood there, staring at his broken-hearted best friend, salty tears running down his own face. Slowly, he approached, bringing the spaceman into a hug. Glad for his friend's comfort, he let him, burying his head in the crook of his neck.

He knew he had token him there. There was no doubt in that. As people talked around him, wondering what was going on, Lalna escaped from the crowd, storming into the castle to find the secret passage wide open, basically beckoning people to enter. Come one, come all! Come and see what Lalna's been up to and why he hasn't been out in days! Figure out his dark secret! Immediately, he stormed in, seeing the two at the end of the hall, both wrecks. The scene didn't make him worried like he usually would, in fact, it made him feel… successful. When nobody noticed him at the end of the hall, he cleared his throat, and then simply said:

"I thought the hat and goggles looked better off, don't you agree?"

Hearing the sound of his voice, Xephos quickly pulled away. He wasn't sure if he was to reply or to punch him in the face. Seeing the killer act so natural made rage fire up in him, starting from his heart and sending messages to his brain. Kill him. It's only right. His icy stare made him want to shiver. Not getting a response, he continued.

"Now you know. And you know what? I'm not even mad," he walked over to one of his shelves, his eyes moving from the duct tape, to the rope, to the knives. An urge made him reach for one of the knives, and once it was in his hand, he knew he would win this battle. "Because, you know what?"

The two gulped, and their grips on each other got tighter. The more he talked, the more Xephos wanted to scream at him, grab the knife off of him, and slit his throat. His feet wouldn't let him move, though. Or maybe, Honeydew wouldn't. Honeydew had been acting weirdly the last few days, he knew that. Whenever he had tried talking to him about it, Lalna always came in and stole him away or asked Xephos to go fetch something for him. The puzzle pieces were forming together now. He must've made Honeydew keep it all a secret, maybe made him help. He could only imagine how hard that must've been.

"Now I get to kill you, too."

That was all he needed to set him off. Tearing away from Honeydew, he charged at Lalna screaming madly. Lalna, not expecting this, jumped and backed away. Xephos hit the shelve, making several things fall from it- including a perfectly dull knife. Lalna had made that one especially for cutting through both flesh and muscles. A little dizzy from the collision, he put his hand to his head as an immediate response. The knife is his field of vision; he bent down for it, only to have his head kicked by Lalna. He dropped to the floor, his vision worse now. Lalna came forward, probably ready to bash his brains in and put in some new computerized one. He struggled to get up, as well as backing away from him. Then suddenly, Honeydew's diamond pick came around his neck, strangling him. He was in a position where Xephos could easily end him. Shaking his head to gain his vision back, he quickly grabs to knife and stands uneasily.

"This is for killing Lomadia!" He yelled, stabbing him square in the chest, feeling the crunch as it went through his flesh, through his heart, where it stopped slowly. Honeydew released his pick and back up, letting the insane scientist fall to the floor, his face showing a surprised expression. Honeydew couldn't blame him; he was surprised, too. He never would have guessed him and Xephos would be killing people. One look at each other and that was all. They broke down again, bending down beside the scientist that once was their friend. They would forever wonder what had made him do such things. The others had heard the commotion, and somehow found them, gasping before the sight of Lalna. Hann-R, still outside, stood there, not knowing what had happened, her one eye looking at the sky. Without her master, she would be without a guide.

A week later, Lomadia's coffin, with only memorable items from her life inside, was buried in the cold ground. Mister Owl perched on the tombstone, watching as Sips and Honeydew lowered it in as careful as possible. Nilesy and Xephos stood beside each other, tears welling in their eyes. Nobody could blame them, they were all sad as well. A day after that, Lalna was buried, which started more tears. Hell, even Rythian and Zoey showed up to pay their respects. Despite what came over him to kill Lomadia, they knew he was still a good guy. They all knew he would never do it on purpose. He and Lomadia were close.

At Lomadia's funeral, Mister Owl had made a truce with Xephos, to forget their little competition they had had over the past years. They had turned into good friends, and helped each other let go. Lalna's Castle was left deserted, except for when people had hauled out all of his stuff. Mobs now camped there each night. Occasionally, they would pass the android that still stood there, waiting for her guide to come. She still had her heart and most of her organs needed to live, but half her brain and her arm had been replaced. Lalna had planned to make her an arm that could also be used as a weapon. But now that could never happen. On the day she was shown, she couldn't help but think of where all the familiar faces were from. Maybe from her memory, maybe from her dreams. The one with sleek black hair and glasses seemed very familiar, and the one with brown hair and blue dazzling eyes that had stared into hers seemed even more familiar. Perhaps he was her new guide. Perhaps Lalna had hired somebody to take her away.

Maybe he would come for her, maybe not. Maybe nobody. She may just have to settle in, because she might just be left there to rot. Left there until her human heart stopped beating, until the rain came and rusted her arm off, letting wires soaked with blood dangle. But, maybe he would come again, see her, and save her.

But maybe she could save herself. Taking chances, she took a step forward.
