DISCLAIMER: None of these characters belong to me. They are all the work of the brilliant mind of Mr. Nix. Although I did make up the Overlords real names. ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** After Gold-eye's vision, he and Ninde made their way back to the domed tower. As they were picking their way through the mazes of dead or deactivated Myrmidons, Wingers, Drones, and Trackers, they both thought of Drum and Ella and their final moments. "You think went happy?" asked Gold- eye. "Who, Drum and Ella? Yeah, I think they must have gone pretty proud of themselves. But I can't help thinking what it will be like without them." "Me either. Wonder if Shade help?" "Well, I can't exactly be sure, but I heard him saying once that he had back up power and could transport himself. So yeah, I think Shade had something to do with it." Before they knew it, they were back at the entrance of the tower. "Well, there's no point in going back in. There's no one there." Ninde said. "Maybe we should go to the Meat Factory and check to see if anyone's alive." "How we get there?" Gold-eye asked. "Well, we could walk or we could try a car." she said, looking over at the frozen rows of vehicles. ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** But Ninde was wrong. There was someone still in the tower. Actually, there were seven someone's. Only half alive.........the half that was still human. ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** Silver Sun got back to the tower just before the Grand Projector went out. "Quick, go into emergency mode!" she yelled. A split second before the Grand Projector was destroyed; the Overlords switched over modes. Switching would enable them to half-live after the projector goes out. *2 Hours later* "Uhh, what happened?" the former Red Diamond, who is now Dave Crabtree, asked. "You don't remember?" Silver Sun, who is really Jessica Banks, asked. "The Grand Projector was destroyed and I told you all to turn on your emergency modes. It looks like some of us didn't make it," she says as she walks around checking others. "Black Banner, who is, let's see.........Ralph Dees, and Gold Claw, who is Michelle Lang, didn't make it." "Does anyone remember what happened? Or was I dreaming?" Kelly Willow, the former Blue Star, asked. "I remember." Jim Mizor, Emerald Crown, answered. "By the way, where is Gray Crescent?" he asked. "Over here." Kelly said. "I can't believe it! He's asleep!" "Did he switch over?" Jessica asked. "Yes, he switched but then immediately fell asleep." "I wonder if those two kids are still alive?" thought Jessica. Well, she would soon find out. ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** Hope you liked it! Sorry it was so short. I'll only continue if I get ohh, let's say 5 approvals. And since it's my first story, I really don't expect it. If any of you who read this have any suggestions or tips, please feel free to contact me.
