The crisp air stabs Zy, he fights against it. A huge city warrior-*Warrior: a mutated human, that is very large is size and very strong. Usually seen as guards of a city, but often do go rouge- resulting in a small army fighting a warrior.*stands in front of him. The warrior holds a huge sword in one hand, and green almost plastic looking shield in the other hand. Zy looks at his own hand, a blaster is there. On the little screen just below the sights it reads 7. He has 7 shots. The warrior steps forward, Zy readies the blaster,ready to pull the trigger. The warrior swings the huge sword down, Zy rolls out of its way. The sword slams into the ground, The warrior struggles to pull the sword out, while the warrior does this, Zy shoots at its head, the warrior raises its shield and deflects it.

The warrior pulls the sword out of the ground and the swings it horizontally to hit Zy, Zy jumps going over the blade. The warriors back is to him now, he aims the blaster up and pulls the trigger. A black hole forms in the warriors back. The warrior whips around and the sword comes with it, the blade collides with Zy's body, and the blade goes almost all the way through him. The warrior lifts the sword, Zy's body stuck to it. The warrior lets a very deep laugh, that more resembles humming rather than laughter. The warrior raises the sword so Zy is eye to eye with it. Zy raises the blaster and pulls the trigger, the laser hits the warrior in the eye, causing the warrior to drop the sword. Zy's back hits the ground and the weight of the sword cuts through him completely.

Zy wakes up. Or...remembers...he can't tell. Rolan comes back drunk almost every night now. He has gained quite a obsession. And how he has that many units, to be totally wasted, Zy can't figure out. Rolan on his bed, throws up- without disturbing his sleep. Zy gets up, walks into Rolan's room, and looks around a bit. He lifts the edge of Rolan's mattress, if you can call it that. More like a huge pile of Zolpin wool sown together to make a wool pad. To see if there is any Units under it. Of course there isn't.

Zy looks in to Bez's hole. A light is on in it. Zy jumps down into the hole. Bez is there tinkering on something. "Hey, Bez." Zy says. "Hey." Bez says without looking up. "What are you working on?"
"A motor"
"A motor for what?"
Bez looks up.
"Nothing- it's just a motor..."
Bez crumples the sketch he drew of the Zoomer, and tuck it in his pocket.
They talk for a little while, and then Bez tells Zy that he has a lot of work to do. Basically telling Zy to leave.

Zy pulls himself out of the hole, and walks back to the shack that he lives in.
