There was nothing I could do now; I didn't know what was going on but what I could tell is that I am laying on something cushioned. I held my eyes shut, was this another hallucination? My question quickly answered by the quiet sound of a funeral dirge. My eyes snapped open; I was looking up at a wooden church ceiling inside of an open casket.

I broke out into a cold sweat, I tried to gather my courage to peak over the side of the casket. What I saw was row upon row of past generations of family members, my father and mother the closest to me. Before I could even speak the church doors swung open into a blinding white light, and out stepped Sarah in the same dress she wore that day.

I laid back and closed my eyes, trying to escape this horrible dream but I slowly heard the clatter of shoes hitting stone as she approached.

"Dad?" Came the voice from above

I tried to shut out her voice, I didn't want to see

"Dad please." She requested

I open my eyes, above my casket stood Sarah staring down at me, her face as still as the day we put her to rest. I choked back the guilt and sadness, trying desperately to avoid what was in front of me

"Dad, you need to leave, you have to go home." She said quietly

"I can't, not without you." I whispered back

"That isn't me and you know that." Her still face said with agitation

I swallowed hard, it was those words that I didn't want to hear, those words that meant everything that has led to this was all for nothing.

"Maybe." I said trying to not look her in the eye

"Why can't you let go." She said quietly

Before I could protest, she grabbed the lid of the casket and closed it shut, leaving me in the dark. My eyes snapped open, I was laying on some sort of metal table, laying on the table next to me was the human I punched, he was strapped down and whimpering. I adjusted my body to try and get a better view of where I was, we were in some sort of large examination room with equipment scattered everywhere.

Then my eyes caught sight of her, at the very end of the room Sarah's gem was strapped into some sort of device. At the controls of the device was a lime green gem, with a strange shape of hair, she was grunting in what seemed like anger. I gingerly tried to get up but the door closest to the gem started to open, I laid back down and pretended to be unconscious.

The sound of the device stopped, and I could hear the sound of someone sigh in agitation

"How are they?" Said the voice I recognized from before as the orange gem

"How should I know, I'm a technician not a vet." Came a whiny voice from the other gem

"You're supposed to help!" the orange one said annoyed

"They've calmed down, that's good enough for me." The other one said continuing to work

"Well if you're not going to be a vet, why don't you be a technician and tell me what that gem is." She said matter-of-factly

There was a brief pause, and what sounded like a sigh of annoyance

"I have no clue, the structure is so basic that It could hardly be called a gem, and its power is so unstable it might as well explode within any minute. I have a hard time believing that this "thing" was walking, talking and fighting like you said."

There was more silence then the door opened

"I'll be back, I'm going to go set up the solitary island for the troublemaker over there." The orange one said

"I thought SV64 wanted him with the others?" Came the sarcastic quip from the other gem

"I'm supposed to make sure those humans are comfortable; I'm not letting him stay with the others if he's going to pull stuff like that." The orange one said as the door shut behind her

I waited then readjusted myself, looking for any advantage I could get to escape. Close to the gem was that metal pronged weapon from before, if it worked on Sarah it should work on her. I gingerly got up and sneaked closer and closer to her workstation.

As I got close, the gem stopped working and turned around, her face turning to horror when she saw me

"What The!" She shouted

I made a mad dash for the weapon grabbing it before she could even reach it. I slammed her against the wall, pinning her and pressed the device into her stomach

"Where are the escape ships!" I yelled at her

"I would rather die, than help you escape!" She angrily said

I pressed the device deeper in

"Don't!" She begged

"You'll just come after her." I said quietly

I activated the weapon, lighting splayed across her body and she went up in a poof of smoke, her gem clattered to the ground and her metallic arms and legs followed suit.

I ripped Sarah's gem out of the machine, large warning signs flashed across the multiple screens of the device. I held her gem in my hands, no scratches or anything, I was relieved for only a brief second. I exited the room, pocketing both Sarah and the weapon, outside a labyrinth of corridors and halls. I ran in a random direction, anywhere was better than here, nothing was going to stop me, especially when my vision began to blur again . . .
