Sorry it took so long to update, but my other computer wasn't working, so I had to figure out what was wrong. Here you go.


Zoom's POV

I looked around where I was standing. I had heard a voice coming from somewhere around here, but now I couldn't find it. It was as if they could tell I was here, and didn't want me to find them. A drone flew above my head, but I didn't notice it. I growled slightly, disappointed that I couldn't find that voice. A voice that sounded so familiar and soft, and light. Like I could listen to it all day without getting bored of it. A voice that was beautiful and soothing. But I couldn't place where I had heard it before. I sighed slightly, getting on my grey and blue bike. My master probably needed me. I made my way out of the twisting roads, and back to the main building.

Shard's POV

I slipped through the streets, Blaze warning me of any incoming patrols or Zurk. I managed to make it to the information building unscathed, and unseen. I pulled the map up again, and took a look around for air vents and such. My leg was still killing me with the pain, but I had to help Zoom, and stop the Sark. I found what I was looking for, and snuck over to it. I took a look around before quickly climbing up to it. I pulled it out, and slipped inside before replacing the vent cover. I let Blaze take the lead, allowing him to lead me through the ventilation system. I was wearing my motorcycle helmet, with my earpiece in my ear underneath it.

"Shard, are you in the building?" Kulei's voice asked from the earpiece. "Yeah, making my way towards the control room." I whispered in reply. "Tell me once you get there, and I'll help walk you through it." she said, before signing off. I continued to follow Blaze for a while, my back starting to cramp slightly. We both stopped over a vent in the ceiling, and peeked through. There were a few Sark in the room, but I could take them. It might take me a minute with my leg, but I could do it. I opened up the vent, and swung down. I managed to destroy the 3 Zurk within 5 seconds before they contacted others for help. "Could have done better." I muttered, and went over to the computer.

"Alright, Kulei. I'm in the control room." I told the wolf that was waiting for me to radio in. "Good. Alright, start by hacking into the mainframe." she replied. I nodded, and began to work and get it all set so no one could tell I was hacking. "Finished." I said. "Good, now go to the..."

~~~~~~~~~~A BUNCH OF NERDY STUFF LATER~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I found it." I said to Kulei. "Great, now you just have to get it back here." she said. "On my way." I told her, taking the plans. I heard footsteps coming down the hall, and Blaze and I quickly got back into the air vent. I replaced the cover just as Zemerick, Zug and Zoom walked into the room. "No! We have an intruder on the campus. Find them!" Zemerick ordered. I shrunk back into the shadows, and began to slowly move back to where I had come in. I hoped it wasn't too loud.

Blaze led me once again through the system, and I slipped out the cover. I unfortunately landed on my broken leg, and I dug my fingernails into my palms to stop myself from screaming out. The drone and I then made our way back to the warehouse, steering clear of all the patrols that were now trying to find me. I slipped into the warehouse, and I quietly shut the door behind me. "Kulei?" I hissed quietly. "It's a tra..." the wolf started, before there was a yelp. I gasped, and quickly turned, and ran out of the building. I rounded the corner just as Zoom ran out after me. "Blaze, take this and find me later." I told the drone, inserting the plans into a little slot. He quickly flew off, and I snuck off, trying to find somewhere I could hide. My leg was throbbing with pain, and I knew that right now I just had to hide somewhere. I saw an air duct ahead, and pumped my legs faster, fighting off the pain. I made it, and quickly slid inside and replaced the cover. I slipped back into the shadows just as Zoom came to a stop a few feet away.

I could just barely see Zoom look around for me, before looking right where I was. I held my breath, hoping he couldn't see me. A few minutes passed, and finally Zoom walked on in search of me somewhere else. I sighed in relief, then moved into a comfortable position. The visor showed that I had run to the prison building, and a blip showed where Kulei was being taken. I decided to wait for Blaze to show up so I could hopefully get her out, and then we can go somewhere to examine the design. I laid down, and waited a few hours for my drone to show up.

Kulei's POV

Somehow the Sark had found the warehouse Shard and I were hiding out in. They had arrived with the boy that Shard had told me she had come here trying to save. What was his name? Zoom? Yeah, that was what it was. "Kulei?" I heard Shard whisper. I was being held by some Zurk, but they hadn't covered my mouth yet. "It's a tr..." I started, but got cut off as Zoom kicked me in the face. I watched as he turned and ran after Shard who had hopefully ran off. I fought against the Zurk who were dragging me off to what was likely going to be a prison, but they had taken me by surprise and had a good grip on my arms.

I kept on casting my eyes around me at the other cells as we passed, but they were either empty, or holding a dead prisoner. I didn't see any that resembled Shard at all though, so I hoped that she had managed to not get caught. I was thrown into a cell, and tried running to the door just as it shut. I turned, ramming into it with my shoulder, but it did nothing with the energy bars. I sighed, and decided to just stand back and wait. I had a feeling that Shard was going to come and rescue me that way she could save her friend. I sighed, and began to pace around in circles.

It wasn't long before Zemerick came by with Zug and Zoom trailing him. He opened the cell door, and Zoom and Zug hung back as guards as the large robot came in. "Where's your little friend?" he asked, and I growled. "You'll never find them." I spat at him. He smirked, "They'll come for you, and I'll just have to catch them then." Zemerick said. I growled, and was about to lunge when he stepped back, and shut the doors. What he didn't notice was that I used a comm link and Shard had heard what he said. I watched as some Zurk moved so they were standing in front of the door, and moved over to the single 'bed' that was hanging in the corner. I took a deep breath, and pulled the comm closed to my face. "Shard, listen to me. I don't have much time, but you need to get to the energy factory. If you can shut off the power, you'll be able to help your friend. Don't come after me, if you can do that, I'll find my own way to escape." I whispered into it, before turning it off, and hiding it. I just hoped she listened to me.

Shard's POV

I was still waiting for Blaze when a voice spoke in my ear. "Where's your little friend?" a voice that sounded like Zemerick asked, and someone growled. "You'll never find them." Kulei. I figured that they must have been talking about me. "They'll come for you, and I'll just have to catch them then." Zemerick said. I heard another growl before the comm shut off. I watched as a drone floated above the entrance into the vent, and quickly let Blaze in, still thinking about what had happened. Then the comm showed it was on again as I put the cover back. "Shard, listen to me. I don't have much time, but you need to get to the energy factory. If you can shut off the power, you'll be able to help your friend. Don't come after me, if you can do that, I'll find my own way to escape." Kulei whispered, before it closed again. I looked over at Blaze, and he beeped something out, a paper appearing. "I have analyzed the plans, and have made a virus that will shut down the Sark's (besides me) power, and will release your friend from the invention." it read.

I looked up at the drone, and nodded. "Thanks." I said. He beeped, and I peeked out the vent. "Can you pull up a map that can lead me to the information building?" I asked him. He beeped, and I stared as a bunch of Zurk rushed by. "Well they're in a hurry." I muttered. "Hey sis? Are you ready for some back-up?" Spinner asked, and I smiled. "Perfect timing. Hey, Kala?" I asked, smiling even more. "Yeah?" Kala replied. "Come to my location." I said. She said that she was on her way, and I slowly moved out of the vent just as she showed up. "Here you go." she said, tossing me a sword. I smiled, and thanked her. "In this building is your mom. Go save her." I said, uploading the coordinates to her mom. Kala's eyes lit up, and she smiled. "Oh, Sage and your brothers made this for you." she said, setting a skateboard on the ground. I smiled, and nodded, before getting on.


So I just wanted to let everyone know that I won't be updating as often as I used to, due to my computer problems. Hope you enjoyed this chapter though.
