I am Dron

New Goals

Then, I saw light. I opened my eyes and saw the lid and saw my friends behind the glass. I opened up the pod and sat up. Oh, my back. A Zlen girl hugged me. Wait...this one looked familiar. And all, of the people in the room. This, this was...

"A-Amika?" She let me go and smiled. Eyes were streaming down her face.

"Yes. It's me." I got up and hugged her hard. One, because I thought she had died, and two, I felt a little disoriented. "You're back. We are all back now."

"But-but how?" I let go. And noticed my clothes didn't really fit. My pants were fine-they stretched. But my shirt was a bit small. "And why are my clothes not fitting like they used to?"

"Short and long version- we don't know, but after you defeated Zaros, we woke up in the order we died two years later." A young Zlen man said. "Oh, and I'm Phil."

"Thanks. But, I didn't defeat Zaros."

"Wait, you what?"

"I didn't defeat him." I repeated. They looked around. They weren't expecting this. "Where is Alin? And Seth?"

"I'm Seth." A Kinog raised his hand. "As for Alin..he..."

"He is dead." A Kinog girl finished.

"But I thought-"

"I know. But..he and the others who had died before we entered Terminus Alpha stayed dead."

"Where is Renea?" I asked, scanning the crowd before me. They looked around. The Kinog who I somehow remember was at my mother's grave spoke first.

"We...don't know. As far as we know, she might not even be alive. The only teacher we know for sure who survived an attack on the school is Rina." She pointed to the adult Kinog in the room.

"I survived, by hiding here. I actually hid behind your pod. They saw you sleeping, and thought you were against the wall. So they moved on. After I was sure they had left, I looked through the other rooms. All the teachers were dead. My sister is gone also. We don't know where she is. Renea...she is gone as well."

"Then let's find her."

"Whoa, slow down. You just came out of a deep coma that was holding us immobile. And we have no idea how all of you got out by yourself."

"Then let's find out. Maybe Renea knows."

"If she does, she is with Vin. He has left as well. You will be emerging into a potential warground."

"I came from war. And I'm not stopping until I find answers. Seth, you want to know about Renea and if she is okay, right?"

"Well, yeah, but-"

"Then let's do it. We are sure to find something. Right before we died, Amika and I found something out that was very interesting. So I say, let's find the real reason behind Renea's leaving."

"How?" Naki said. "How are we supposed to do that? And why are you acting like this? You normally only act like a leader or like a hero when you are forced into the position."

"Maybe I'm just feeling confident. I got pretty close to beating Zaros."

"Then I am all for it." Amika held my hand. "Anyone else?"

The others in the room looked at each other and then back at us. They nodded, cheered, or did something else that confirmed their participation in the mission. I looked at Amika, smiled, then looked at the willing followers I just gained.

"Then let's get to work."
