"Hey Shekra, is-" I was interrupted by a sudden spike of pain as Shekra punched me in the stomach. I doubled over and she than kneed me in the nose making me fall down on my but. She would've continued pounding on me if she didn't double over and fall to her knees. "Ouch, what the heck was that for?" I asked as I rubbed my nose. Shekra just sat there rubbing her belly and struggling to breath. "You know.... What that.... Was for" she said as she gasped for air. "Whats wrong?" I asked as Martin helped her on her feet.

She gave me a cold stare "your whats wrong with me" she said. She lifted her shirt and there was an imprint of my fist was there, a large red circle. "A few of her ribs are broken" Martin said. Did I really hit her that hard? "That doesn't matter" Shekra said as she stood straight up. "We have to find our weapons and save earth".I stood up "where are our weapons?" I asked. "They'll be in weaponry" Martin answered. "Thats down stairs" Shekra said. All of a sudden two Kurt soliders came walking past, the both of them engaged in their own conversation.

When they spotted us the froze in their tracks. Martin rushed onto them swinging his axe-hammer at them. He struck the one to the right sending it flying back. Than he swung the other one with the axe side if his hammer cutting him in half, it was a disgusting sight. Martin turned to us and walked over to Shekra "here take this till we get our weapons" he said. Shekra reached out and grabbed the heavy weapon. "Thanks Martin, your like the only guy who cares for me" she said. "Yeah can we get going now" I said.

Martin nodded and we made our way out of the jail room into an open hallway. I was leading the way as Martin helped Shekra limp along. We made our way down the stairs and to weaponry. There were four kurt guarding the entrance. But we took care of them with ease as I punched one on the stomach breaking it armor and driving my fist into its chest. While Shekra knocked ones head off with Martins weapon. Martin took care of the other two. After that was done we made our way into weaponry.

There were a bunch of different kinds of alien weapons in here. Guns, swords, knifes, even. Flamethrowers. I scanned the room and spotted Shekras bracelets on a table next to my knife. I reached out and grabbed the bracelets. "Here Shekra" I said as I presented it to her. She snatched it out of my hands and gave Martin back his hammer axe with a big smile. "Thanks Martin, you've been a real help" she said. Martin smiled and I started feeling bad again. Suddenly I remembered something very important. "Um does anyone know wheres Amanda?" I asked.

Shekra scowled at me but Martin answered me, "shes with Steve where the memory ray is". Oh great, I probably should've left her behind on Grod, things would've been much easier. I grabbed my knife and put it into my pocket. "Alright lets hurry and get to her" I said. "Oh whats the rush Zack? afraid your girlfriend is going to be killed" Shekra insulted. I took a deep breath in, it was obvious Shekra was still mad about this. "Its not like that, it was never like that"

"Really? Than why'd you kiss her?" Shekra asked

"I was drunk okay, it wasn't me it was the green liquor". "So when you punched me in the gut were you drunk than?" Shekra asked. "No just. Protecting Amanda from you, we can't just kill people for something so little". "My love for you isn't little" Shekras. Eyes were starting to get teary. "Hey guys this is fun and all but I really think we should get going, we've gotta planet to save" Martin said. "You're right Martin, we should get going" I said looking at Shekra. She wiped hey eyes and put on her bracelets. They than transformed into gauntlets. "Alright lets go" she said as she walked away. But soon as she took her first step she feel onto her knees coughing violently. Me and Martin rushed to her aid "are you okay" I asked feeling worried. "What....do you ...care" she as she kept gasping for air. "You need a doctor Shekra, you can't fight like this" Martin said. Shekra coughed again before saying "thanks... Martin..... It seems.....like your the only one....who cares right now". Shock over came me "what about me im here too" I complained.

She scowled at me and looked away. She was acting so immature, like a baby. She stopped coughing and started breathing easier. She than got back up onto her own feet. "Alright lets go" Shekra said, "sure your okay?" Martin asked. "Yes I am" she answered, "okay good but we have to hurry" I said. "Really? Whats the rush, we still didn't finish what we started" a voice said from the entrance. We all looked to see Davis was standing at the door with his sword drawn. Looks like he survived being in space too. "Well Zack, up for round two?" he asked. I looked at Martin, "I got this, keep Shekra safe okay" I demanded. Martin shook his head yes and grabbed Shekra pulling her back. "Wait what? No I wanna fight too" Shekra complained.

I ignored her and took my knife out my pocket. I stepped up to Davis and transformed the knife into a sword. "Alright Davis, LETS DO THIS!!!!!"
