Ch 7
The sound of his windstorm sensor woke him. Wall-e sat up and looked around quickly, it was closing in fast from the west. Eve was still sleeping on his side, he put his arm around her and shook her lightly. "E-vah?" he whispered. She slowly roused herself from her sleep. Wall-e shook her a little more earnestly. She moaned in a groggy voice, her programs still starting up. Wall-e took her head and spun it in the direction of the storm, which was just about to hit them. Eve's eyes widened, she grabbed Wall-e and with a whoosh!, flew straight upwards, the chaos emerald fueling her ascent. When she was satisfied they were over the storm, she turned around and looked down at the churning ground. Eve and Wall-e looked at each other one more time, before she took out the chaos emerald and held it up. Wall-e wanted to tell her that he got a new upgrade, but he didn't know how to express it, so he stayed quiet. Eve looked at Wall-e, seeing the confused look on his face and mistaking it for wanting to know what she was doing. She pointed at the emerald, catching his attention. She spun slowly, and opened and shut her hand, making a pulsing gesture. Wall-e blinked in response. Eve studied it as she spun and then set off to her next destination, setting the emerald inside her and jetting off with great speed

Another long while flying, as Wall-e watched terrain he had never seen before. He saw great mountains of trash that would rival the skyscrapers he has made. Over hills they went, over seas, over islands, and over barren wastelands. They flew and flew. Eve was thinking hard, on the situation at hand. Why was she collecting these chaos emeralds? She knew Doom had told her to, but why was she complying with what he said? She felt that something big was coming to the planet. A whole lot was going to go down in the next couple of days, she knew it. She also knew that she was the only one who could stop the coming oblivion. She pulled the chaos emerald out and held it up to make sure she was going in the right direction. When it was confirmed, she stuck the emerald back inside, and flew off, to what was later confirmed by Wall-e, to be the ruined country of China.

Meanwhile, in the comet/ship used by the black aliens as a base camp, Black Doom paced the core of the comet. Auto watched him float back and fourth. Doom was a strange alien, the word "strange" being relative. He had no legs, his method of transportation seeming to be telekinetic. He had a large head, with two very large horns, protruding out of the sides of it. He had four crimson eyes, one of which is it's own separate being, yet still a part of him. He had on a short robe, with two tails that reached to the floor. He also had on some necklaces and other various bits of jewelry; Auto didn't really know where he had gotten them. Some kind of prize, for an intergalactic cage match or something. The story he gave was vague. Auto watched him pace around the control room. This Auto was a duplicate made by Doom, also, partly as an autopilot. He was still hooked into the ceiling, which was mostly rock, so his movement was limited. "Captain?"
"Yes, Auto?"
"What is our next course of action?"
Doom looked at Auto thoughtfully. ".....we wait."
