Elliott
"Mom?
Mo?
Where did they go?"
Those were the only thoughts that rattled around in my head as I went back to the Centrium with that drone mom was with as tears streamed down my face. Choosing not to wallow in my pity, I decided to act cool so no one would notice.
And that was a week ago after it happened.
Deciding to continue what I was doing and just hope for the best instead of moping about those I lost. I did just that.
But the pain of losing those two still remained.
And it's not like my attitude change went unnoticed as Nara saw it coming with her future seeing powers and gave me her condolences.
Finally, I couldn't take it anymore as I broke down in her arms as she said that it was going to be okay.
That was when Brainiac arrived as he beamed down a hologram of himself and announced what he was planning to do.
He was going to take all the information on the Centrium, it's inhabitants and he was done, he was going to destroy the Centrium and us with it.
Of course, we weren't going to just let this monster take what wasn't his.
Under my leadership, using Nara's precognition, using the Hive's archives on how to deal with an alien invasion, I distracted Brainiac while his drones attacked the Centrium.
And to say "distracting Brainiac was one of the hardest things I ever had to do would be an understatement.
Even though I managed to knock Brainiac into a coma, and his drones were defeated, it was rather bittersweet as many lives were lost, among them was Preston (which wasn't a joke this time), our teachers Jim and Mr. K, and Mrs. Argolis just to name a few.
At the massive funeral held by the survivors, like Nara and myself something unexpected happened.
As I was saying my eulogy, Brainiac started to regain consciousness as Nara, who I got together with during that monster's attack, quickly warned us.
As Brainiac was about to attack, something crashed into his armored spine, breaking it.
It was my Mom and Mo, who finally returned to the Centrium with that weird rock.
As I joyfully reunited with them and told them everything that happened, we to decide on what to do with Brainiac as he was too dangerous let him remain on the Centrium.
Luckily, Mom got the perfect idea.
She explained that during their travel through space, they went to this other dimension called the Phantom Zone. So we basically shoved Brainiac in there, though he did promised that he would escape and show no mercy.
And so, everyday since, while most of us were doing our own thing we decided to train ourselves up a bit so that would be ready for him to return.
Even if another threat like Brainiac were to show up.
