All three of us rested in the machine, watching more awesome films, until we came across a city. We looked outside the machine.

'Vexilox, is there a way for you to contact Lily? Or at least figure out where she is?' I asked, still gazing at the city with shocked eyes. Many buildings had fallen, but some where still standing!

'I am trying to sense her existence right now,' Vexilox said, as the two sails made of energy flickered slightly on his back.

'Wow... I can barely remember the last time I saw a building...' Nova gasped in awe.

'But it's so quiet. It's rather eerie,' I replied, still staring outside.

We floated past a supermarket. 'Stop, U3X, I want to get some supplies,' I said.

'Why? You can absorb energy from the sun.'

'When I say supplies I mean sweet things, like chocolate.'

I took my laser gun, as U3X slowed to a stop. Nova, Vexilox and I went outside.

We entered the large doors of the supermarket. Not surprisingly, much of the food had been taken, but we still walked around the aisle, inspecting the empty rows of nothingness.

'Look for anything. We need as many items as possible,' I said.

We split up, and looked around. I heard strange shuffling sounds, and heard Nova scream.

I ran to see what was going on. I found her, surrounded by humans pointing their guns at her.

'Who are you? Get out of here before we kill you!' They exclaimed, glaring at her.

Vexilox appeared, and even more humans came, moving towards him. Using some strange force, he rooted their legs to the ground, and slowed all their movements to a stop.

'Let my cousin go,' I growled, pointing my laser gun at the people near Nova.

One of them turned to me, as the others still threatened Nova.

'Who the fuck are you?' He said, in a threatening manner.

'I said let her go!'

He quickly pointed his own gun at me.

'OR WHAT?!' He shouted. He was trying to scare me, but that really doesn't work.

'Or I'll blow your damn head off!' I shouted back. I knew I was being far more violent than usual (it was as if I wasn't myself), but that's the reason why you shouldn't threaten someone I care for.

'Stop!' Someone said. All the people backed away, including the ones Vexilox had stopped.

A man with black hair, in his thirties, appeared, watching everyone.

He turned to me.

'Who are you? Don't worry, I am not going to kill you.'

'I am Helene Oskanian. My cousin over there is Nova and the alien is called Vexilox. Don't worry, he's with us. Plus he's not even a martian.'

'How do you know you can trust him?'

'Because I would have killed them already if I was against them,' he suddenly replied, as his three red eyes stared at the man.

'Helene, I think I have heard of you... aren't you the time-travelling leader of The Epic Tribe Of Epicness?' He asked, snickering slightly.

'Yes I am.'

'Then I guess you can join us, if that's why you came.'

'I have only come for supplies. I am on a journey. My cousin has been kidnapped, and I must find her. But I don't mind staying a few days, so Vexilox can try to detect her,' I said.

'All right.'
