Yadda yadaa, my second writing, blah-blah-blah. Found anything of spiritual value yet? :)
Disclaimer: Once again, NO RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION HERE. Plainly for those of you who wish for a difference from swearing, violence, and uncloseness to God.
And to that anonymous person who bad-mouthed about Jesus in my 3rd review, I'll pray to Him to forgive you. Hopefully you'll experience the grace and love of our beloved Lord in heaven. :)
Chapter II - Solar and Sonar
The three of them discussed quietly about what had transpired, as Kevin drove down the narrow lane back to Bellwood.
"Don't you think it's strange that creature just disappeared so suddenly?" Gwen commented. Ben nodded. "Not to mention that girl appeared out of nowhere." "Well, speaking of 'nowhere', your split-second yell destroyed my paint job, Tennyson. You have any idea how long I spent repairing the last damages?" Kevin grumbled. "Hey, how was I supposed t' know?!" Ben retorted in an annoyed manner. Gwen just sighed. This was going to take a long while.
A few moments passed without incident, save for Ben, in his boredom, staring outside. His hand inched towards the car lock, but was stopped by a disapproving glance from Gwen. Luckily Kevin hadn't noticed.
Without warning, a loud crash sounded from their opposite direction. They had passed a small town some miles back, and the noise seemed to come from there. "Not AGAIN!" Kevin complained angrily, but he turned the steering wheel to the right, and they swerved off, towards the town.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The girl walked back slowly, tired from the previous chase. Gave another long sigh, trudged on wearily.
Then she heard it. A crumbling noise, followed by a loud roar. Though the town was a long ways away, her sensitive ears could pick up sounds from 10 miles away. Then came screams of terror.
She tensed. Turning back meant danger. But she couldn't leave those people to die at the hands(or claws) of whatever was there. "Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves."(Romans 10)
She turned and ran.

The large alien crashed around the wreckage of concrete and wood, chasing its tarmac-covered opponent. "A little help here!" Kevin yelled. A pink shield materialized above him, blocking the alien's attacks. Kevin turned around and grinned. "A 'please' would've been nice." Gwen admonished, but she was smiling, too.
Ben, as Jetray, hovered around the alien. It was huge, with lizard-like features. "Pretty much like Godzilla," he thought. "Hey, ugly!" The 'Godzilla' turn towards him, fangs bared. "This way!" Ben sped off, the alien directly behind him.
At a good distance, Jetray turned and fire lasers from his eyes and tail, directly at it. The alien snarled in pain, and blindly swiped at its attacker. Jetray swerved around, but was caught by the monster's paw and sent crashing to the ground.
"Ben!" Gwen shouted, she and Kevin racing towards the alien. Ben had reverted to his usual self, and was rubbing his head. He looked up to see the alien towering above him, claws raised. His eyes widened in shock.
Suddenly, the creature was knocked aside by a transparent energy ball, but with waves running through it. As it hit the alien, Ben thought he heard a low, but loud, thud. The energy ball was composed of…sound?
Ben looked to his left. A fairly large animal stood there, hackles raised, tail pointed downwards. "Hey…wasn't that what we were chasing?" Kevin asked, stopping to a halt from his run. Sure enough, it resembled the creature, with wolf-like features, save for its large front claws and the crystalline armor on its chest and tail.
The wolf looked up at them for a moment, eyes gleaming with golden light. Then it turned at towards the 'Godzilla'. It prowled silently, watching the monster with now steely eyes. Ben, Gwen and Kevin stood watching, frozen in place.
The monster roared and aimed a swipe at it, but the creature dodged out of the way. Growling, the wolf jumped. As it leaped through the air, bright rays erupted from its claws, burning the monster. The monster fled, but not before swiping the wolf with its huge claws, sending it flying.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Slowly, she got up, whining softly. The monster's attack hadn't broken anything, but her flank still hurt. The red-haired girl took a step towards her, a worried expression on her face, and immediately she tensed, ears flattened against her head, tail drooped down. Her eyes watched them warily, but not threatening.
But they didn't seem to mean any harm. She knew that by sensing their emotions. Just tired, from the fighting. So was she. She couldn't last much longer.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It needs help," Gwen said. "It's hurt." But as she approached, the wolf turned way from Gwen, in a defensive way. It watched her warily.
Finally, the creature slumped down in exhaustion, closing its eyes.
As they watched, a soft white glow spread around it. They tensed, ready for danger. In a flash, the wolf was gone. In its place was a girl. She looked up, attempting to make a smile, although a slight upturn of one corner was all she could manage, and said,"It? It? Do I look like it to you?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, how's that for a shocker? But I guess many of you would have known already. Sorry for the numerous lines in between. And somehow, the words 'then' and 'towards' just seem to plague my writing. Oh well. Ciao!(for now...)
