ELE

Chapter 4 Part 2: Price.

We all climb down the entrance, finding ourselves in a room with a metal hallway, carefully suited with horrible red lighting and an ominous door in the back.

Classic evil lair.

Two metal suited robots clearly slacking on their job jump at the sound of us falling onto the floor.

"JERRY! PULL THE ALARM!" a robot screams.

"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" The alarm blares.

"Well, it's punching time!" I scream.

"HELL YEAH!" Jon grabs the shotgun running with his tiny little legs towards the robots, blasting them with pure grit.

The robots shatter into pieces.

"What kind of ammo are you using?"

"Just some regular shells. Why do ye ask?"

"You shattered them. INTO PIECES."

"Boy, you don't know controllin."

He's right, I was the worst controller on my planet.

"I propel the bullets with air, and bounce them around, hence the shatterin."

"Didn't know someone like you could do that."

"Hey, all stupid people do stupid things to back up their stupid ideals."

The metal on the ground starts shaking.

"That's not good." Olo runs up behind me.

The robots, piece by piece, form back together.

"Well, well, well. Look who I found here." Nebulon struts out of a door, pressuring us down onto the floor.

"I told you, death is not that easy to shrug off." He chucks something at us.

Oh god.

Shell's body falls before us.

"SHELL!" Olo pushes past me and Jon, running to Shells side.

Olo puts his head on her chest, giving me a thumbs up.

"She's not dead yet." Nebulon smirks.

"But, she will be!"

Olo gets sent flying by an unknown force.

"GOODBYE, SAND WOMAN!" Nebulon slams his hand on Shell's face, blood spurting out of her mouth from the impact.

"NO!" I reach out with my left hand, trying to save her.

A faint light glimmers out of my hand, before fading into nothing.

It was too late.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Nebulon throws her into a wall, probably killing her.

But when I said it was too late, I meant for Nebulon.

Sand quickly forms around Nebulon, engulfing him in it, and before he could react, he was sent flying with all of her force away from us straight into a door.

"Shell!" I run towards her body.

Her body was covered in blood, the wall behind her looking like a first grade art project.

"ROARRR!!!" I heard from the back of the hallway.

"YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD SHAKE ME OFF?" I hear a loud sound like the very air being pushed.

"YOU SHALL NOT!" Jon screams, very unusual language coming from him.

Olo signals to back away.

I grab Shell's body and run away towards the entrance.

I look back, seeing Nebulon launching towards Jon.

"JON!"

"LEAVE IT TO ME!" His eyes glow with rage.

Jon sits still until Nebulon is practically 1 inch away.

That instant, Jon stretches two fingers out, hitting Nebulons chest, then forming it into a fist.

"HAHHHH!" Jon sends Nebulon about a foot away.

"LET US GO, SHALL WE?" Jon blasts air behind him, launching him towards the entrance.

We all start climbing up the ladder to the entrance.

"NOT ON MY WATCH!" Nebulon rips an arm off a robot, throwing it towards us.

And by us, I mean me.

The arm flys straight into my left arm, cutting it off.

"GAHHH!!" I drop Shell, Jon picking her up with air.

"GO!" Jon throws Shell out of the lair, all of us following suit.

Zilla shuts the entrance, binding it with its own materials.

Regardless, the entrance flys off the binding, Nebulon flying out.

Jon, with one last push, throws all of us towards the convertible, all of us flying over the market.

Olo revs the engine, going as fast as he can to the ship.

"WHAT ABOUT JON?" I think I yell

"HE'LL BE ON IN A SEC!" Zilla reassures me.

We drive all the way to the ship, Jon still not here.

Zilla opens his mouth, something forming inside of it.

It was air.

Jon zooms towards the opening in Zilla's mouth, getting stuck inside of it.

"GET...OUT...BUGGER!" I hear in between muffled screams.

Zilla spits out Jon, throwing him onto the ground.

Jon was cut from the top of his head to his mouth, and had a broken right arm.

Olo picks me and Jon up, throwing us into the ship.

Zilla picks Shell's body up and does the same thing.

They run into the ship, slamming the door shut.

"JON, HOW DO YOU PILOT THIS THING?"

"JUST PRESS AUTOPILOT!"

I hear a slam come from the cockpit, and we fly out of the planet.

"THUD!" A loud sound comes from the top of the ship.

"YOU CAN'T GET AWAY FROM ME!" A Nebulon sounding voice cries from the top of the ship.

An ear piercing sound follows suit.

At that moment, the ship split in half.

I blacked out.
