I feel Omega-Xis twitch slightly.
"You okay?" I ask.
"Of course I am," Omega-Xis says, "Let's go. The EM Wave-Roads can take you to school in mere seconds. Let's go!"
Omega-Xis drags me in the direction of my school, and I realize that if I just let him guide me, we can get there faster.
"Omega-Xis," I say as we go over houses and buildings, "who are the FM-ians, and what are you protecting?"
"The FM-ians are wave beings like me," Omega-Xis says, "but they're evil. They destroyed my planet ages ago with a weapon called Andromeda. I joined them afterwards, but then I took the Andromeda Key, the only thing that could activate Andromeda."
"This…this Andromeda Key," I say, "is that what you're protecting?"
"Yes," Omega-Xis says, "my old human partner died to stop Andromeda after the FM-ians took it from me the first time. He told me to take the Key again, and to stop the FM-ians who would go after me. Fortunately, they're all dead by now, cause my partner and I deleted them."
"Deleted?" I ask, "Is that the same as killing them?"
"Yes," Omega-Xis says solemnly, "Kills them, but sooner or later they come back. Hopefully, they don't come back in this time."
So Omega-Xis is holding the Key to the weapon that destroyed his own planet…so that means that the FM-ians were trying to destroy Earth?
We stop over my school.
"So this is what school's like now," Omega-Xis comments, "exactly the same as two hundred years ago."
"How do I become human again?" I say.
"You pulse out," Omega-Xis says, "There's a wavehole down there. Just above it should be the exit to pulse out."
I notice a wavehole inside the school grounds.
Above it, on the Wave-Roads, is a portal-looking spot.
I assume that's where I pulse out.
I walk over to it and murmur, "I hope you're right."
I step on the portal.
A rush of brightness, then I find myself at school, human.
