Chapter 1
The Mall Rats had settled into a new city after leaving the City when the virus Mega made came out. When they reached the new city they found out that Zoot has resettled there and had begun his wrath of power and chaos. Ebony soon rejoined Zoot, only to find that he was um well let's just say he didn't exactly have that feared image he had in the City but he still had a big influence on what was going on in the city.
The sound of Zoot's police car(I guess you can say old habits die hard) filled the city streets. The children in the park continued to swing on their swings like it was an everyday occurrence. As Zoot and Ebony passed the kids waved to them.
"Tell me again why we're waving to these little brats" Ebony asked with clenched teeth as she waved to the children.
"Ebony haven't you learned? The way to keep hold of the city is to be nice to the inhabitants."Zoot said. Then in a grimer tone he added, " That way when you go and see your child you won't get pushed off of a balcony"
"Since our ways have changed don't you think we should get rid of the police car then?"
"NO! NEVER! I like the car" Zoot said patting the car gently.
"Sorry bad idea"
"Your right it was!"
"Zoot we're here" one of the guards said as they reached their destination. Ebony and Zoot both got out of the car and stood outside the building.
"So we're burning the books"Ebony asked.
"Yes we are"Zoot answered distractedly
"And we're supposed to be a group based on peace, love, equality and all that other stuff"
"Yes Ebony"
"And yet we're burning the books" Ebony said confused.
"Yes"Zoot answered getting annoyed of all of the questions Ebony had. Who was she to ask him about his plans?
"Wouldn't that be going against our dream of a better tomorrow?"
"Umm I guess so." Zoot said rubbing his head.
"So we're hypocrites"
"You know something Ebony"
"What?"
"You think too much" Zoot said annoyed.
"Well someone around here has to. What we're about to do goes along with 'Power and Chaos' not 'A Better Tomorrow'"
"I suppose your right"
"So are we burning the books?"
"Yes""And we're going back to the good old 'Power and Chaos'?"Ebony asked hopefully.
"No, we're still for a better tomorrow"
"Oh" was all Ebony could say as she looked at Zoot run his head through his deadlocks. Another thing that puzzled her why he kept his old feared look if they were trying for a better world.
"Why do you still wear those contacts?" Ebony asked.
"To scare people"
"Interesting."
"What it isn't hypocritical to you?"
"It is"
"You know what we're a group of?"
"What? A group of confused kids led by a leader who can't make up his mind about whether he's a force of evil or a force of good?"
"No I was going to say a group of proud people, who share the same morals and ideas. But then again yours works to." Zoot said as they approached the building.
