ANNIHILATION CONQUEST 3

CHAPTER 3

"—- —- ————-!"

"—- —- ———ing!"

"—- —ot breathing!"

I am starting to wake up.

"I'm getting something!"

Ray's face stared down at me, the red blurred completely. "I knew you shouldn't have alone..." Ray flung me on his back, and we stumble onward, to the wreckage of a bot. "I can't believe you did all this yourself... It's flipping remarkable!"

"Guess you could say that..." I smirked. "I still haven't gotten use to all the power yet"

"Then we should train you, and make you stronger than ever!" Ray really gets into this idea, pretending to box someone, but punching a lump of metal in the process which makes him whimper in pain which I find quite funny.

"Why can't you just teleport me there?"

"Bruh, it's not that easy," he claims "and I'm scared..." he admits. A tear trickles down his cold cheeks. He never shows the emotion of sadness. Another tear comes down. "Why me? I never wanted ANY of this. This is stupid. I can't cope. I mean... what if I lose you, or, or Harry or my sister for that matter..." he slumps over and puts his head in his hands.

"You won't lose us..."  I try reassuring him, but it's completely useless. He's a wreck, like all of us...

"Why was that boy sad then?" Harry asks in his high voice. His face is filled with sadness, and loss of hope.

"Same as most of us..." I stop walking, and lower myself to Harry's hight. "Some of us think we might not make it..." His face suddenly fills with anger. "But that doesn't mean we won't..." Harry walks, not saying a word. He starts to slowly walk away from me, but I notice he feels angry. I run over to him. "What's the matter?" I grab him by his huge hand, but my hands are quickly withdrawn when I see myself ripping his hand off. "AAA!" I scream as I fling it up in the air. But there is no blood. No nothing.

I slowly back away, when his skin starts peeling off. All the kids slowly turn to look. A fleshy skin layer is melting away. He uses his other hand to rip off some more, off his chest and legs. He finally scratches with long fingers through his eye. The face has three long scars through the eye and down the cheek. "I'm sorry James Sanders..." His head jerks up straight. His whole body is covered in patches of metal, cogs and wires. Three I-60s slam down onto the ground. Ten F-90s emerge from a building they just burst straight through. The area is covered in ash, fire, and a heck load of Ranger Bots. Harry's eyes glow bright red. "But you have been selected for Protocol Z..."

ALL HAIL THE X Y ZEES. ALL HAIL X Y ZEES. ALL HAIL X Y ZEES.

And this is where I run...
