Chapter 1: Blakk Dawn

A bright flash of light followed by the trudging noise of over-speeding Mecha

Beasts disturbed the peace of Longhorn Cavern. This cavern was under the

Cavern of Time and very few people knew of its existence. In addition to that, was

characterised by rare species of slugs and animals alike.

The cause of this turmoil was a band of vile-looking men. The leader

scrutinised the cavern like a specimen under a microscope as he suspected

any sort of ambush. After what seemed like an eternity, a man of high

stature emerged from a house that was merged to one of the walls of the

cavern.

"Dr Blakk, my old friend. It has been a long time." The man said as Blakk got

off his huge mecha beast.

"Yes, and time itself has its own rewards Carlisle," he answered.

The two well-built men strutted towards each other and hugged for a split-second.

After all the formalities, Blakk said to Carlisle, "Business has beengood. How is the package?"

"It is perfectly secured for you." He answered.

I knew it was my cue to present myself to Doctor Blakk. It had been

arranged that I would offer my services to him and in exchange,

he would not ghoul our cavern or hurt any of the people there. An insurance

policy I would have destroyed if it were not for my loyalty to my people. I

would have fed Dr Blakk to the Shadow Clan given the chance.

Dr Blakk's gaze was glued at me and for a split-second I saw a smile

plastered on his ashen face. I knew he liked what he saw. He gazed at me passively.

Dr Blakk's POV

She is tall and possesses the most stunning hair I have ever seen.

It is the colour of a white-hot rocket flame with black-purple tints.

Thick as a down comforter, it ripples about her shoulders like a live thing.

Her bright, curious eyes are a soft grey-blue, her face pale and very

feminine. Interesting.

Back to my POV

"Deal," he announced to my foster father and my heart fell with dismay. I ran

to my guardian and hugged him for the last time.

This was going to be arduous. A lot of things were going to change and I was

afraid I was going to be one of them.

I took my bags and loaded them onto my pink and purple cheetah mecha.

With a heavy heart I climbed onto my mecha. With no delay, Blakk climbed gracefully onto

his heavy metallic mecha.

"Move out!" He ordered his two men. One was a teenager with blond hair

and on his shoulder was perched a black ugly slug I had never seen before. The

other man looked like a human demon with red and black eyes. He also had the

same type of ugly slugs.

I looked at Blakk to see if he had the same type of slugs but he seemed to have

no slug-belt whatsoever. I guess he had wanted to make my guardian feel secure

by going to meet him alone and unarmed.

"Typical," I thought.

His sidekicks armed themselves with their blasters and I did likewise. They

both turned when I brought out my blaster. They could not even mask their

surprise. When the blond teenager asked me where I got it, that got Dr

Blakk's attention. I explained that I had designed it myself.

With the priceless look I got from Dr Blakk I knew that he was impressed

immensely.

"You might be useful after all," he said with a slight grin," I could

use a smart lady like you."

It might not be so bad after all, I thought as we entered Deadweed Cavern.
