Silence
Axl sat at the table, setting down a plate of food with a low clank sound and rattling cutlery. He let out a low groan as the others briefly glanced at him. Ava was still looking for Macy after not finding her in her room.
He picked up a fork and stabbed it into a potato and brought it up to his mouth. "So now that Merlok has to be in the mini Fortrex until we fix his hologram projector he's gonna have to stay in close range with you guys when you're on missions to stop Monstrux and Jestro, so you can still download your nexo powers." Robin's voice entered his Axl's ears before he bit down on the light-yellow-brown plant. His mouth stayed agape. He blinked then sighed and sat the food down. He got up pushing his chair back with a low and loud scraping creek.
Everyone watched, slightly awestruck, as Axl walked out of the room leaving his food semi-untouched. "Uh… I'm not the only one who saw the big guy leave without finishing his food, right?" Lance asked looking at the rest.
Axl walked down the corridor and soon came across the main room. He walked to the table and sat down, putting his head in one hand. He squeezed his eyes shut before slowly opening them and looking up at Clay. He stared at his still form. He still looked like he was ready to take on Jestro and Monstrux and continue fighting. Even in this still form he still seemed to have the fighting spirit.
Axl paled slightly, the thought of them never finding away to turn and get Clay back. He shook slightly, thinking in horror that if they turn him back he might just fall limp and dead. Axl chased that thought away. Clay had too much of it in him to let something like this end him.
He sighed dejected and placed his head in both of his squarish fingered hands. Feeling a few tears slip out of his eyes and slowly trickle down his cheeks. The sound of the door opened with a loud 'Vrm'. Axl froze and looked up wide-eyed, he stiffened and gaped slightly at seeing Macy, her hair frizzled, eyes red and cheeks stained with lines of tears.
She walked up to Axl and hugged him. He stared wide eyed before pulling her into a bone crushing hug. "Yeah..." She muttered pushing one of her arms around his neck. "I miss him too..."
Aaron stepped out of the Fortrex and looked around, smiling weakly. He threw his shield forward and watched it begin to float. He quickly ran forward and jumped on top of it, bouncing slightly before began to float around the small pathway their base was currently parked on.
He grinned a bit more brightly as his heart began to beat with adrenaline. He continued to fly hearing the sound of the wind getting blown with a scratch sounding resistance. Eventually, he flew straight upward. He narrowed his eyes, but then they widened as his heart stopped at the sight of a big slightly grey cloud.
The memory of Monstrux destroying the castle and Merlok's memory's with it. That memory helped support the memory that Clay was gone and he barely did the last thing he asked of him, before turning into a statue, wrong.
Completely unfocused he fell off his shield and fell to the ground letting out a quick scream. He hit the ground with a loud thump. The dust stirring around him. Letting out a low groan and quiet cough he pulled himself into a sitting position and then screamed loudly as his shield hit him directly on the head. His armour managed to absorb most of the damage but it still hurt a lot.
Glaring slightly he picked up his shield and walked into the Fortrex, tears of slight pain and sadness pricking his eyes. The latter feeling worse than the former.
