Epilogue
One week later:
"Your ship has been repaired, and is now ready to go!"
Master Link got up from the chair, "Well, guys! I guess it's time to leave now!"
He walked to the door, his team right behind him, and opened it wide.
He started walking down the corridor, everybody moving out of the way and looking at them, yet not meeting his eyes.
"Don't you notice that they're all avoiding my eyes for some reason?"
"What do you think the reason is?"
Anthony stepped in front of him, "Perhaps because they're scared of you!"
"Why would they be scared of me?"
"For one, some of the people still can't change the image that you're the bad guy, in a way..."
Master Link nodded, "Well, this bad guy is leaving..."
"They know, ML,"
"They know what?"
"They found out that you have certain psionic powers, and that didn't go pretty well with them!"
"What are you talking about? Psionics, I don't know what that even means..."
"I'll explain it to you on the way..."
----------------------------------------------------
Arriving at the airport, they saw the Zephyrus, with about a hundred men coming in and out of it.
"What the hell? Anthony, what did they do?"
"For one, they changed the ship's outer hull, reinforcing it with a thick layer of adamantium, which is virtually indestructible. Then I used my psionics to create a psionic field around it. It won't harm you, but it will protect the ship from any harm, and help fix any damage inside!"
"Amazing..." said Master Link, stepping up to the ship.
"Vy don't vou demonstrate?"
"Ah, this is Antoine, the person looking over the ship's repairs and modifications!"
"Ve are very impressed vith ze ship! Ve did a few modifications and added one cannon!"
"Let me guess? Psionic cannon?"
"Zat's right! How did vou know?"
"Go ahead, ML," said Anthony, "Give it your best shot!"
"You're asking me to destroy my own ship?"
Anthony rolled his eyes, "It won't break!"
"And if it does?"
"Fifty bucks says it will break!" said Gilder, putting it out for all to see.
"Vou're on!" said Antoine, pulling another fifty bucks.
"Guys, no need for betting!" said Anthony.
"Leave them alone...or are you afraid your friend will lose his money?"
Anthony backed away, crossing his arms and chuckling.
"Alright, everybody!" shouted Master Link, "I'm going to blow a hole over here! Team, let's concentrate our projectiles at one spot!" he took a marker and drew an X on the hull, "Here!"
"Ready!"
"Set!"
"FIRE!"
...
...
...
...
Everybody fired their projectiles, and the hull started turning red and seemed to tilt inwards.
"I'm winning!" shouted Gilder.
"Ze bet vas it breaks!"
"Oh, it will!"
Just then, the hull moved back to its original position, "What the hell?" said Master Link, "Guys, concentrate harder!"
"I'm joining in as well!" said Anthony, firing a wave of psionics at the ship, "Just tell us when you had enough proof!"
Several beams kept colliding with the spot, and suddenly the ship titled sideways, and fell down.
Master Link looked at the X mark, which was untouched.
"Impressive!" said Master Link.
Gilder tossed the money in Antoine's hand, "Can we get out of here now?"
"Sure!" replied Anthony, "Just remember guys, you're welcome to come here anytime you wish!"
With that, several cranes lifted the ship back to its original position.
Team Master Link stepped into the ship, and Master Link walked up to its door.
Anthony sighed, "I have a feeling our paths will cross again, under darker situations,"
"All systems go!" said Gilder, looking out the window and seeing Antoine waving the fifty-dollar bill and smiling tauntingly.
"I can't wait to go back home!"
"Alright, crew of the Zephyrus!" said a voice from the radio, "You're all clear for take off!"
"That's our cue!"
The Zephyrus rose from the ground, and everybody took a couple of steps back.
"He's actually leaving?" said Sally, walking up to Anthony.
"Not for long. Amy saw a dream of them fighting some mysterious figures right here in Arcadia."
"She always has nightmares, they're not exactly prophetic,"
"I know, but I read her mind, and saw that this wasn't just another nightmare. It had something that wasn't there in any other nightmare she had, I can't describe it..."
"This can't be good," said Sally, "I'm doubling the security on the city!"
"Yes, we ought to..."
----------------------------------------------------
This marks the end of the story.
Coming soon: The Outcasts Saga! Here's a sneak preview of the things that happen in it!
Team Master Link walked down the deserted streets of Mobotropolis, looking for any sign of life.
Master Link raised his hand, signaling his team behind him to stop.
"What?" whispered Leona.
"We are not alone!" replied Master Link, "Someone, or something, is here, and they're closing in fast!"
He walked to a closed door, where a hand was holding a blaster, and kicked it open, pulling out the intruder inside.
Master Link pulled his blaster at the attacker, sticking it on his throat, and the intruder did the same.
"Packbell?!"
"Master Link?!"
"Where is everybody?"
"I was going to ask you the same thing! Everybody just disappeared a couple of weeks after I saw you here, so you've got to have something to do with it!" said Packbell.
"I don't need this bullshit from you!" shouted Master Link, "If you're accusing me of killing everybody, then you're crazy!"
"If it wasn't you, then who could it be?" Leona stepped forward.
Just then, a large beast ran at both Master Link and Packbell, and attacked.
(Screams, bullets, lasers and metallic noises can be heard)
