Rebuilt (book 2)

saved (-Cryptor)

So. We were about to die when all of the sudden, this gang of freaks comes up in a prison bus and saves us. Thank the over-... thank the...

Thank the first spinjitzu... master? It feels weird to say, if I'm being honest.

Yeah, anyways, we hopped on and started heading to borg tower to repair Zane. And the whole time he was being an annoying little thing. 

Right. Why were we rescued?

Essentially, these prisoners broke out while the city was under siege and have decided to help fight back. To prove that they're not just 'bad guys'. Stupid really. But hey! We're alive. So I guess that counts for something.

Pixal thanked the Ronin guy, and Mr emperor decided to chip in.

"I, too! For this boon, I shall grant you continued life ... for now!" he said, holding his head up high within Pixal's backpack.

"Boon retracted!" He yelled. "Vex! Vex, cast them in the dungeon!"

Pixal rolled her eyes and took her backpack off. She shoved him in my arms.

"Keep him contained til we arrive, Cryptor." She said. I rolled my eyes and took him, heading to the back of the bus, where Mr. E was still sitting. Actually he was on the floor. I set Zane down in the corner and helped him sit up.

"What are you doing in the floor?" I muttered. "Hey, hey. Hey! You listening or what?"

He sat, facing the same way, just staring into the distance like a weirdo. He was totally still fizzing out every few seconds. I'm not sure why I didn't see it before. Oops.

"Uhhhh..."

"You hit your head or something?" I asked, to no reply.

"Come on, sign or something." I huffed.

"How DARE you keep me contained! Don't you know who I am?!" The ice emperor wriggled around in the backpack.

I turned to him and hit him. A little too hard. I forget about the whole 'new body' thing.

"You dare to attack??" He scoffed. "Go ahead! Challenge me-"

"Okay, you have to stop." I glared. "Shut up for five seconds- actually? Try FOUR!"

He paused, before speaking.

"What is wrong with your servant?" He asked, pointing a foot at Mr. E. He was still glitching out.

I sighed.

"Honestly? No idea." I shrugged. "He's been like that since the crash."

"What crash do you speak of, strong one?" He said, shaking his foot at me.

"Oh for- nevermind." I said, facepalming.

We arrived at borg tower, but Mr. E wouldn't get up. I passed Zane to Pixal and slugged Mr. E over my shoulder.

This was happening a LOT.

Maybe when we get to Borg's, I can get him to help Mr. E out.

Hopefully.

After all, he's my buddy, y'know?

Uhhh...

Wait when have I started thinkn' that?
