Chapter 8

I yawned.
This was boring.
Why couldn't we have action, like we did when the Grrowlians attacked? Well, life's not fair. Sometimes you can't get what you want.
I hate that.
Yawned again.
Wondered what time it was. How should I know? I've been asleep for three days. Haven't checked the time for a while.
It must be late. Couldn't stop yawning.
Anyway, back to what I was doing.
I walked around a huge boulder, dragging my gloved hand across it as I walked.
Nothing suspicious. So, I walked away from the boulder and to a stack of rocks.
Put my hands on it, jumped, and started to climb. It seemed to wobble. I didn't fall, just kind of lost my balance.
Then I caught it again. Sighed in relief. The rock stack started to rock more.
"Ack!" I yelled. "No!"
I fell backward. The rocks came with me. I let go of them, and started to move my hands wildly to try and find something to grab onto.
Nothing.
I kept falling.
Wham!
I hit the ground on my butt. The rocks toppled over me. I put my hands on my head and felt my helmet.
I knew it wouldn't help since my helmet would block the rocks, but it made me feel better.
Yeah. You can call me weird.
The rocks finally stopped falling. Rock dust flew around me.
Stood up and dusted myself off. Stepped over all the rocks and went to the next rock stack.
This time, it was sturdy. I climbed it with ease. Finally reached the top and stood on it.
I put my hand to my forehead and looked around. Nothing strange, weird, whatever.
I jumped down, and thought twice.
That was stupid! It was a long way down!
"Ahh!" I screamed.
I stopped. I was . . . Floating.
Oh yeah! I forgot. This place doesn't have any gravity. Then how come it didn't catch me when the rocks fell? Hmm . . . Weird.
"Location check!" Hardrive said in my helmet.
I waved my green glow stick slowly in the air.
"Okay . . . Wait a second . . ." I heard Hardrive say, but he stopped short.
"Help!" Someone screamed in my helmet radio.
It was faint, I couldn't really hear it. A blue glow stick waved wildly in the distance. I quickly ran over to it.
"Slash is gone!" Hardrive yelled.
"What?!" we all yelled.
"What happened?!" Blaze shouted.
"I only counted six! Including me." Hardrive said.
"I guess we should find him, huh?" I asked.
"Of course."
"You're looking for him aren't you?" Someone's voice said in our radio.
We all looked around.
"Huh?" Erik asked.
"Just what I thought! Well, you'll have to find him and it won't be easy!"
