The Galaxy Crusaders

Chapter 2 - Meteor

There was a loud CLANK! as overlapped gasps could be heard, "Sarah! Are you okay?!" A young girl stood there grating her teeth "Yep I'm fine!" She then went to a small tarped tent filled with various painkillers, mysterious viles and medical equipment, she then sat down on a medical bed. An old man stood there grasping her hand and covering her slim wrist with a lukewarm rag "Your burns should be fine dearie" The same old man lifted her up and rubbed her burns "There! All better" Sarah exited the tent, still making use of the cold water that was soaked up in the old rag onto her burns, but instead of pushing the cloth onto her bruise she discovered an alternative method of wrapping it around her wrist.

She then came back to the spot where she burned her wrist, and in a spot to the side of her is a large mechanical man, she bent down, infront of a bench with a blueprint, and carefully and picked up a wrench in her dominant hand and a hammer in her opposite hand,"Guess i should get cracking on this project!" as she said that she twisted a bolt in a clockwise position which gave the robot an electrical stutter, "I did it! I made a robot!"

The old man appeared behind her and spoke supportively, "Well done dearie, it looks exactly like your father's model, im extremely impressed!" as he was forming his sentence he grabbed the blueprint and rolled it out infront of them, "I think i'll call it the Robo-buddy!" Sarah said as she inserted an input into its bicep,

The Robo-buddy turned towards the old man, agnologes him and grasps his neck tightly so he couldn't breathe. Sarah tried to break the bond of the robots hand and the mans neck but the Robo-buddy pushed Sarah aside, almost as like its protecting her. As Sarah tried to regain her footing she heard the loud "Snap!" of bones and then she saw the robot's hand fling the old mans corpse into a pile of electrical equipment, Sarah silently began to cry. Once she noticed the robot leave her vicinity she rushed over to the old man and lightly tapped his wrist with her fingertips, "Uncle..uncle...wake up." she whimpered out loud but as she was crying she heard the blaring sirens of the G.P.F and tried to crouch into a more isolated spot. A metallic blue military suit could be seen near the corpse, "Do we know exactly what happened?" An officer said inspecting the body, "Yes Captain, the old man was strangled" The Captain shaprly turned and caught a glimpse of Sarah's head, "Over there!" He said as he pointed to a shallow hole with Sarah inside, the entire G.P.F that were at the scene rushed over to the hidey-hole ans blocked every square inch of it. The Captain peeked into the hole and smugly spoke, "So, you thought you could get away with it?"

Sarah tried to process what he wanted to say but was shortly interrupted by her continuos stutters. Sarah was able to slither out of the shallow cave and out of the G.P.F's clutches and sprinted away. She sprinted for what felt like an entire century, not looking back, and somehow ended up at another campsite, Sarah sighed in frustration when she believed she ended up in the camp, but this one was different in the sense that all the officers weren't there anymore. As she ran towards the entrance she felt nauseated and ended up collapsing tovthe floor. Sarah was awoken to a soothing and fatherly tone, just like her uncle's, who was helping her digest water from a military style flask, Sarah tried to speak byt the man kept shushing her, the man then let her speak once the water was all gone, "Where am i?" Sarah said, the man then replied with, "You're at my camp, but don't worry, i won't hurt you" The man then asked her a question, "So miss, what's your name?" Sarah replied with her name "My name is Sarah Ferran, and yours?" The man spoke in an instant "My name is Rupert Prowley and i have one more question, how did you end up here?" Sarah hesitantly spoke,"Well, i was making a robot with my uncle and then the robot went rogue and killed him, and then the G.P.F came and tried to take me away...i was framed!"  Rupert sighed,"I was also framed by the G.P.F" Sarah's eyes widened, "So you probably believe that i killed him" Rupert interrupted her "No, of course not!" Sarah hugged Rupert over the setting sun, which emitted a fiery glow on the pair "We better get to bed" Rupert chuckled, "Im picking my room!" Sarah teased.

In the middle of the night there was a squeal of excitement as Sarah sent out a miniature meteor which bumped into a tin can, knocking it over. Rupert groaned as the colliding noise startled him and forced him to wake up, "What's all that ruckus?" he said whilst wiping his eyelids with his index finger,"I have powers!" Sarah squealed before sending out a pebble sized meteor, which melted through a can, Rupert's eyes widened as rushed over to Sarah and grasped onto her wrists, "Hide this power, if the G.P.F discover you wielding this kind of power they'll easily scout you out and capture you." Rupert then heavily yawned "Lets get some sleep" Sarah nodded and they both went into their tents and fell asleep

In the morning Sarah launched out of her makeshift bed and spoke aloud "Who is Lee Deranger?!" Sarah rushed over to Rupert's tent and shook him until he woke up, "Rupert! Rupert!" She repeated loudly, Rupert arose and looked confused, "What's the matter?" Sarah pulled him up on his feet,"Do you know Lee Deranger?" Rupert replied confused "No? Atleast, not that i know of?" Sarah slowly puzzled together a sentence that said, "He's near Giorno's Diner?" Rupert chuckled "Looks like i need to collect another hero, i wonder what his powers are" Sarah's eyes lit up,"Oh yeah! I had a theory that i could modify the power that i have, all i need to do is use my meteorites and power them a little bit, but how...?" Rupert replied "How about an electrical conductor like a simple batttery?" Sarah adopted a chesire grin "That could work!" Rupert picked up his bag and began to leave, "See ya! Collector" Sarah jokingly said whilst waving, Rupert smiled "See you later"
