The drive down the empty Elisian highway was quiet, say for the mumbles of the late-night radio host. "Solarians rejoice as Elliott Prince, new king of Solaris, begins to put his plans of re-establishing the planets ecosystems into action!" Called the radio host!

The truck driver turned the radio off.

"Ay- I was listening to that!" Argued his companion, reaching for the radio.

The driver slapped his hand.

"I've heard about enough news of Solaris for one lifetime..." The driver grunted.

His partner rolled their eyes.

"Oh- wait! Truck stop!!!" Shouted their companion, pointing at the bit of light in the distance.

The driver quickly pulled the large semi-truck into the rest stop, and the two men entered the convenience store attached to it.

There were no other trucks or people around...

"Im gonna go to the bathroom. Can you get us food?" Said the driver.

"Yep! I'm on it!" Replied his partner.

As the driver ran off, his buddy quickly began to collect meals...

Soon, he was standing at the counter...

"Uh- Hey?" He asked, seeing as the clerk was facing away from him.

...The clerk slowly turned...

"WOAH!!!" Shouted the man, stepping back in fear as he saw the face of the clerk.

Their eyes had been torn out. Bits of blue blood dripping from the empty sockets...

"The queen...the queen...she calls...~!" Muttered the clerk.

"W-what the!?" Shouted the man...

He bumped into someone...

Slowly turning his head...the man was greeted by a heavily armored woman...with rope.

The driver finished washing his hands...then looked in the mirror.

He had some pretty deep bags, and his grey-ing black hair was messy.

He sighed and rubbed his face, then exited the bathroom.

He noticed all the junk on the floor...signs of a commotion.

"Hey- bud-?" He called, walking forward a bit.

He heard a door open behind him...

"Good evening." Called a distorted female voice.

The driver felt a hand on his neck, and quickly turned to face the figure.

His vision was met by spirals. Beautiful, glowing, spinning spirals.

"Uh..." The driver mumbled...his eyes losing their energy.

The door to the back of the truck opened, and a woman stepped inside.

Zii, The Queen of Sycanco.

The spiraling eyes of her robotic mask began to release a bright light....

She looked around the back of the truck...hundreds of weapon cases.

"Good! The shipment is here." Zii said, turning back to the brainwashed driver.

"Of course, your majesty." He replied.

"Now, do something worthwhile...end yourself."

Zii reached behind her jacket, pulling out a high caliber handgun and passing it to the driver.

"Yes my queen." Mindlessly answered the driver...putting the gun to his chin.

His companion, gagged and tied up by Zii's followers, squirmed in panic.

The drivers head soon was filled with lead. And his body fell limp.

His companion screamed through the gag!!!

Zii quickly recollected her pistol.

"Now...for you..." She began, turning to the captured man.

"You will be our next scarecrow~" she said, her voice filled with happy sadism.
