Chapter 18: Relic

It had been about three days before I found it, and when I did, I barely noticed what it was. The tail end of an America's Airlines airplane, originally headed to New York. The entire thing had been scrapped, every little flat piece of metal had almost been ripped off of it, barely leaving anything. I looked at it in awe, then remembered something: The wolfbat. I ran to the ripped edge, and found a skeleton, still with a little rotting meat falling in the ground. I looked at the bare body of the once mighty flying beast, and crawled into the top piece. It was a total mess, with clothing covered in sand everywhere. There was a piece of metal still left intact at the end of the plane, where it looked like it sheltered something. I came closer, with my weapons at ready, and found myself face-to-face with a dead body. It was a girl, and it looked like she had only died two weeks ago. I looked at her for another five minutes, then saw her bike. It was armored, covering the engine and front of the wheels, so she must've been in battle. I checked her again, and found that she had a pair of Maverick glasses, and seeing as how she was gone, I decided to take them.I also looked at the bag she had beside her, and found what looked like a car battery and some metal spikes. It was how she had put the armor on her car, and I decided once again to fix up her ride. I used the metal that she had, and I built more armor, placing a large metal scoop in front of the bike, and I had a metal back piece for my stuff and me to lay back on.

    I was like a new man, with a whole vehicle and case. I saw some tracks, of course faint, but still there. They were big, almost large enough to squish my bike if the wheel was there. I decided to follow them, whether or not they belonged to somebody dangerous. Little did I know, they belonged to the most dangerous people on this continent...
