Chapter 22
Lost. The V-buster is lost. It couldn't have been lost in a more convienient time.
Zero was nowhere in sight and the dust was still settling.
Silver Shell stood up, his gears sqeaking loudley as he struggled to remain erect.
MS WAKEMAN: You lost him?!
Silver Shell shrugs.
Zero's laugh echos all around them.
BRAD: Now we're sitting ducks...
Everyone becomes tense. An eerie silence is present.
TUCK: (Scared) Is Jenny better yet?
Ms. Wakeman looks around.
MS WAKEMAN: XJ-9 is gone too.
The footsteps of a robot are heard.
Everyone looks around. The steps stop.
BRAD: We need to find that V-buster.
MS WAKEMAN: Agreed. Split into groups and start looking, this dust isn't goning to clear anytime soon.
The groups are formed and dispatched. Brad, Ms. Wakeman and Tuck stay together.
Silver remains stationary, using his infare red vision to keep track of movement and serve as a first warning of Zero's precense.
The teens search and feel around for any sign of the lost buster gun. The dust makes it difficult for them to see or breath easily.
Meanwhile, Sheldon sits in the Silver Shell watching the screen carefully. He can clearly see everyone searching, but there is no sign of Zero.
SHELDON: He probably ran away again. I guess I can relax a little bit.
Sheldon leans back in his seat.
Big mistake.
The alarm inside Silver Shell goes off. Sheldon jumps from his seat.
SHELDON: (Alarmed) Where?! Where's that coming from?!
Silver Shell turns around only to be greeted by the siluette of Zero. The screen goes blank.
A group returns and finds the now lifeless Silver Shell.
GIRL: (Frightened) He's here, he's gonna get us...
BOY: This is not cool man! We're gonna die...
SPIKE HAIRED BOY: (Unphased by any of this) He can't get all of us! What can one lousy blonde do?
To the horror of the other two teens, Zero appears right behind them.
Brad, Tuck and Ms. Wakeman are alerted to the screams echoing in the dust cloud. Brad picks up a pipe.
Spike boy sits up on the ground with a black eye.
SPIKE HAIRED BOY: Don't kill me, please!
Zero grabs him by one of the points of his apparent hair style and lifts him from the ground.
SPIKE HAIRED BOY: I don't think blondies are dumb, in fact your hair looks great!
Zero puts his Z-saber to his neck.
ZERO: Spikey... dead...
Brad jumps out of the dust cloud and knocks Zero's saber out of hand with the pipe. Zero drops the kid and the group runs away.
Brad hits Zero in the head. Zero picks up his saber nonchalantly. Brad hits him again, yet again with no affect.
Zero grabs Brad by the neck and starts to choke him.
ZERO: Stupid kid...
Silver Shell weakly raises his head.
SILVER SHELL: I... don't...have much... power... left...
Zero sees him. Silver Shell fires one last blast at Zero back. Zero drops Brad and leaps high into the air.
BRAD: (Gasping) We're doomed!
Zero, while still in the air, prepares his Z-saber for his next devastating attack. A gust of wind blows, clearing out the dust cloud.
Everyone waits for the impending blow.
The sound of collapsing debri is heard follows by the familiar sound of a buster charge.
Brad looks to see where it is coming from. Not too far away, he spots Jenny with the V-buster!
Jenny fires the V-buster at full charge. The massive ball of energy go straight to Zero.
As he falls, Zero sees the shot coming for him. There is nothing he can do to stop it. It is a direct hit.
The surge of power lights up the sky like a second sun.
ZERO: EEEEEEEERRRRRR...AAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!
The light goes out. Zero slams into the ground. He is unconciouse. Small white surges spark around him.
His dark grey armor changes back to red. The "W" on his head piece disappears.
