Zamanthia's POV

The emotion on my face changed dramatically as I studied the blueprint. How could they do such a thing just when they get a chance at a new life. They had a choice, a chance, and they just threw it away for revenge. I felt my heart breaking, slowly but painfully, my eyes narrowing, clutching the datapad so hard, it snapped in half. I balled my fists, holding back my temper as best as I could, to keep myself from causing a ruckus. "Zam, you OK?" Zaluna cautiously inquired.

I shut my eyes, breathing slowly inorder to calm myself down. Zaluna carefully tiptoed towards me and tapped me lightly. After my last breath, I faced her with a stoic expression, my eyes glowing an electric blue. "Zaluna...there is something we must do."

Zor's POV

This stinks. Why did I have to choose a room near Zom, I could barely get a wink of sleep last night. Aside from the other small noises I heard every once in awhile, Zom's snoring over powered them all. I nearly jumped at the sudden sound of metal clanking on the floor. I walked out of my room, curious as to what was the source. I ended up at the control room, funny thing was, the door was left open. I thought I was the first one awake.

I entered slowly, tiptoeing at first, then casually strolled. I then caught a glimpse of the broken datapad, picking it up for only moment, then letting the shattered glass fall to the ground. Frantically, I looked around, spotting the control panel and...no switch. "Oh crap, Zavok is gonna kill me."

Zavok's POV

"THE SWITCH IS WHAT?!" I yelled with such anger, everyone backed away in fear.

"T-the switch is gone, I-I saw it myself." Zor stuttered, bringing his hands in front of his face in defense.

I was furious, not only because the switch for the life extractor was missing, but at the thought that something...or someone would dare get in my way. I grit my teeth, my eye twitching ever so slightly, but none of the others left the room, most of them afraid of what I'd do next. If this person likes stealing, then they must be afraid of what would happen if they were caught. That gave me an idea.

My angered expression changed into a calculating look, thinking of my next course of action. I then spoke "This thief will be punished, in due time...but for now, we will make a new switch." Everyone hastily nodded, running to their rooms as soon as the door opened. Master Zik was the only one who did not leave the room, walking up to me, giving me a curious look. "What are you planning?"

I faced my former master, a smirk visible on my face as I replied "I am going to make sure nothing gets in my way."

Zamanthia's POV

"I never knew you could ever do one bad thing, but I must be wrong." Zaluna joked...for the tenth time.

I held the switch, taking it to the top of the volcano to melt the piece of scrap, and now I have someone to annoy me along the way. Oh, the wonders of karma. I brought the switch to my face, squinting my eyes so I could examine it more closely. This piece of scrap was supposed to ignite a devastating weapon? If Zavok was that desperate to get payback, I would almost have felt sorry for him...almost.

As soon as we reached the top, the lava was somewhat dormant, but the heat was the only thing that posed as a danger. That, or if someone accidentally slipped into the volcano. I walked to the edge, and did not hesitate when I threw the switch into the lava. I watched as it fell into the scolding hot magma, sinking to the point where I could see it no more. I then began my trek down the mountian of fire, thinking of the other possibilities. Even if the switch is gone, they will most likely build another one. Looks like I will have to take something else.

Zaluna suddenly appeared in front of me, crossing her arms while a smile grew on her face. "Let me guess, we are gonna take something else aren't we?"

I nodded "Yes, but this time, I'll be sure to completely disable his plans."

Zavok's POV

The moon rose hours ago, now it was high in the sky, but no one was fast asleep. We all stayed in the shadows outside of the base, waiting for our culprit to make the first move. The plan was simple; once our thief, or thieves, take the engine, they will exit through the front door, and then we all will ambush them. The complicated part was not only to time it just right, but to stay awake until then.

Surprisingly enough, as it passed midnight, everyone stayed awake, anxiously waiting until the thief went for the bait. Though it was already close for the sun to rise, nothing came out. That is until a while later, just when we were about to give up, the entrance opened, revealing two silhouettes, one holding the engine, while the other stood beside their partner with their hands behind their back.

It was still dark, so I could not tell their gender, until the one with the engine whispered in a feminine voice "You know, that was a little too easy. I'm guessing they are REALLY knocked out if they didn't hear us, right Zam?"

That voice...it must be the zeti from before. And if that is "Zam", then that means that is Zal's boss. I thought, watching the pair walk towards the volcano.

"Good point Zaluna, we best be on our guard. But let us first worry about this engine, then concern ourselves with the deadly six." A stern, yet calm, feminine voice replied.

I rose my eyebrow at this. Another female? Her voice is strange, yet it sounds...familiar. I quickly dissmissed this, shifting my focus back to the thieves. Before they had the chance, I signaled for us to take action, all of us jumping right behind the pair "You best give that back." I stated.

Both flinched, but quickly ran, the fast one going at the same pace as her boss. All of us gave chase, the pair heading towards the volcano.
