Story
“Another mission brief!” Spielg shouted throwing the folder to the round table they had.

“Could you be a bit more quieter?” Lastrich asked her body slumped over.

“But a new mission,” Spielg smiled happily like he was a kid at a candy store.

“Don’t have to get so excited about it,” the Engineer sat down.

“You look a bit angry and depressed,” Volvuna pointed out.

“So the same as everyday,” Spielg grinned as Rakthro was the only one that chuckled. They all looked around to him.

“What? It was funny,” Rakthro defended Spielg.

“Skipping past that the Engineer needs to read the brief,” Lastrich slid the document over to their leader.

“Fine,” the Engineer opened it and flicked through it “just some monsters grabbing children.”

“Just? Let’s go right away,” Lastrich tried as the group just sat there “come on.”

“Are you forgetting that the car was destroyed by the Egyptian mummy thing while we were trying to gain control of a train?” Rakthro asked as Lastrich then changed her direction.

“I think she is going to the phone,” Volvuna pointed out “they are magical things.”

“Snap out of it,” the Engineer said sternly.

“What?” Volvuna looked innocent.

“You are in Think Mind now act like it instead of the Child Mind that you still seem to have,” the Engineer got up with his mug in hand as he took a large sip. “Everyday there seems to be a nice cuppa just waiting for me,” he looked around.

“Actually its mine but you always take it,” Lastrich pointed out phone in hand.

“Taxi?” Volvuna asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Car rental,” Rakthro corrected her.

<p class="MsoNormal">''A few hours later and after they had been in the cab and gotten to their destination they could see the blackness that surrounded them. It seemed like a black hole in that no light escaped. There was silence, that was it, as the group approached a house as they all looked to the Engineer who nodded and they knocked. ''

<p class="MsoNormal">“Hello?” A voice asked from behind the door. It sounded very scared and quiet but it was definitely a mans.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Galaxies Guardians at your service,” the Engineer said plainly as the man opened a door. Fruit bowl in hand which contained apples.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Why are you carrying apples?” Spielg wondered thinking the man maybe a mad man.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Protection,” he said plainly as he let them in.

<p class="MsoNormal">“You live alone,” the Engineer looked around.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Yes,” the man replied clearly shocked by the appearance of the Silurian, Zygon, Goloc and Kalossian but the Time Lord did not seem to bother him.

<p class="MsoNormal">“It was not a question but a statement. First things first what is your name?” The Engineer asked as they heard another knock at the door.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Jeff,” Jeff replied as he walked towards the door his fruit basket in hand.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Hurry it,” the Engineer told him as Jeff quickened his pace until he reached the door.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Open up already,” a voice hissed from the other side as the door opened, slowly at first until the figure pushed it.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Oh no,” the Engineer muttered shocked by who he then saw.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Hey,” the man smiled in a full gear of black cloths.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Long time,” the Engineer smiled “this is Captain Avery a Time Agent who I met during the Time War.”

<p class="MsoNormal">“It’s still going,” Captain sighed as Jeff looked confused.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Why are you here? I don’t like people in my house,” Jeff told them attempting to sound assertive but his quiet voice and short stature did not help.

<p class="MsoNormal">“No wonder you're alone,” Spielg smiled as they then went into a small room which had three sofa all around each other.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Why do you have so many sofas for one person?” Lastrich asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I like to change where I sit,” Jeff replied now sitting down.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Why don’t you just move the sofa if you want to change position?” Volvuna questioned him.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Easier to have my three favourite spots already there instead of me having to move it every time and every time I read the sun is in a different direction so I decide where to sit depending on the sun,” Jeff took in a deep breath.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Do you remember when we met?” The Engineer asked looking to Captain Avery.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Sure, I was just a kid and you had a different face. One Dalek came but I had a Time Lord Guardian to save me and blow it up saving me and my family. I thank you for that day,” Captain Avery put his hand out as the Engineer shook it.

<p class="MsoNormal">“You also saved me at the battle of the Heavens,” the Engineer chuckled.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Oh yes when the Controllers first came and started to help in the war. The Daleks first major defeat,” Captain Avery was looking up feeling all the eyes in the room staring at him.

<p class="MsoNormal">“How about the beasts that have taken this whole planet?” Jeff interrupted them.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Why did you just not phone anybody about it?” Lastrich asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Because the Kilfron have some sort of alien technology that blocks all signal and no one can come to save us because nobody knows about this place. Nothing gets out,” Jeff told them as there was a moments silence.

<p class="MsoNormal">“It let us in and how did we find out about you if nothing gets out?” Lastrich asked looking for clues.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Not a clue. Maybe ask one of the smart ones,” Jeff suggested looking towards the Engineer and Captain Avery.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Well I think we need to see the aliens first,” Captain Avery suggested.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Wait, why did you get sent down here?” Volvuna asked Captain Avery.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Simple. I had to help you,” Captain Avery replied coolly.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Help? Why would we need help from a stranger?” Volvuna asked not trusting this man.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Captain Avery is not a stranger,” the Engineer said bluntly.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Volvuna is right. To the rest of us he definitely is,” Lastrich realised as the Engineer shook his head.

<p class="MsoNormal">“It is just your first encounter with him think of your first encounter with others,” the Engineer smiled as he saw that everyone was thinking looking round to one another.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Apples?” Rakthro muttured as he looked outside.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Apple tree within a sealed room,” Rakthro realised seeing the like a green house room that was connected to the one they were in.

<p class="MsoNormal">“We must keep our only weapon secure,” Jeff explained “there are many others but a lot less than before. We are dying everyday and we need a saviour.”

<p class="MsoNormal">“How about saviours?” Lastrich smiled as Jeff chuckled a little.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Enough talking everyone up,” the Engineer demanded as everyone got up upon request.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Are we going out there?” Volvuna looked terrified as her voice trembled.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Why not? What is the worst that can happen?” The Engineer grinned as everyone else looked unsure.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Never say that,” Spielg told him “I’ve watched the movies and whenever someone says that something bad happens.”

<p class="MsoNormal">“One question. Are we in the movies?” The Engineer waited a moment before continuing “no so lets go out there.”

<p class="MsoNormal">“I’m not so sure,” Jeff looked worried as he grabbed his fruit basket.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Please explain the fruit basket,” the Engineer demanded.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Well as legend goes one of the beasts tried to eat an apple and a few moments later it exploded. They seem to have a combustible reaction to apples for some reason and we have also learned they don’t chew their food-” Jeff got interrupted as they heard something hit the roof with a thump.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Is that the Kilfron?” Captain Avery asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Well I don’t know anybody who would go to the roof before knocking ay the door,” Jeff replied his voice hollow as they heard something getting ripped off.

<p class="MsoNormal">“RUN!” The Engineer demanded pushing them all out as they opened the door. A Kilfron stood with its back turned as they quickly shut it again.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I have a plan,” Volvuna chirped “Spielg transform into one of them.”

<p class="MsoNormal">They watched as Spielg was examining the creature outside and started to change from his usual red to a black gargoyle like creature. The others jumped back as they heard a loud thump from upstairs.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Bisagri,” Spielg tried looking dazed as he tried to speak.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Just go,” Volvuna pointed up some stairs as Spielg nodded and awkwardly went up the stairs.

<p class="MsoNormal">“This better work,” Rakthro told her as they locked the door. A few seconds later something hit the door hard as they saw blood rolling down threw the window as a Human body bounced off. Lastrich walked towards the door to look at the body as a Kilfron then suddenly appeared.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Rakthro, get the door,” Volvuna ordered as she giggled at her orders.

<p class="MsoNormal">“How about Spielg?” Lastrich asked as they heard a scream from upstairs.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I’ve got a feeling we are about to find out,” the Engineer muttered as something hit the wall just above them and tumbled down the stairs.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Not a good start,” Captain Avery observed as the other Kilfron came down the stairs.

<p class="MsoNormal">“We need to help Spielg,” Rakthro demanded looking towards the limp and bloody body that had found its way to the bottom of the stairs.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Bisagri mufonfri,” the Kilfron tried as the others looked very scared. They then saw it began to change its appearance.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Spielg?” Lastrich asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Of course, you expect me to lose to one of those although I don’t think I copied it well as it knew something was wrong straight away,” Spielg chuckled as Rakthro grinned as the door jolted again.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Can you take out the other one?” Jeff asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I don’t think so. This one seems to be a lot smaller than the one I copied and I cannot change again for a good few hours,” Spielg informed them.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Normally Zygons can change at will,” Captain Avery looked around clearly confused.

<p class="MsoNormal">“He is not very good at changing,” the Engineer replied as Captain Avery chuckled.

<p class="MsoNormal">“You two,” Volvuna pointed at Captain Avery and the Engineer “help Rakthro hold the door and Jeff you get ready with the apples.”

<p class="MsoNormal">“When did you turn into the boss lady?” Spielg asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“When I knew what to do. Anyone got a problem with me leading this mission?” Volvuna looked around and heard what she did not expect, Silence. Volvuna then smiled and knew she couldn’t stop as Lastrich looked concerned.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Something is wrong with your face. You are smiling way too much,” Lastrich informed her as Volvuna continued smiling.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Where should we go?” Jeff asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Outside?” Volvuna questioned.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Can you expand on that?” Lastrich asked as all eyes were on Volvuna.

<p class="MsoNormal">“It’s not inside,” Volvuna explained as the others rolled their eyes as the door thumped again.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Let’s go. Back to the car,” the Engineer told them.

<p class="MsoNormal">“It is a cab it would have left,” Lastrich pointed out.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Not if nothing can get out,” the Engineer reminded her as they ran to the back of the house as they heard an almighty crunch followed by loud breathing.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I don’t think that is good news,” Spielg shouted behind them as they heard something crashing through the apartment.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Out here,” Jeff told them as the Engineer kicked down the door. They then saw another Kilfron staring straight at them.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Any ideas?” Lastrich asked unsure what to do.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Split,” the Engineer ordered them as the group then split into small groups.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Engineer. Jeff. Let’s do this,” Captain Avery grinned as they saw another Kilfron appear.

<p class="MsoNormal">“This way,” the Engineer dashed to the right as the other two followed.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Use your weapons,” Jeff shouted in a panic.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Guns!” Captain Avery grabbed his handgun from his side and shot twice at the Kilfron. It did not seem to even daze the creature.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Apples!” Jeff shouted as he threw some apples towards the creature. He missed as the Engineer grabbed an apple and threw it straight at the creature.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center">***

<p class="MsoNormal">“How do we shake the ugly monster thing?” Volvuna asked the Silurian to her left.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Kilfron you mean. I have not a clue,” Lastrich replied looking up to the over two metre Kalossian standing next to her.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Turn!” Volvuna suddenly darted left down an alleyway.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Why are we going down a dark and scary alleyway?” Lastrich asked questioning Volvuna.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Stop. Noise,” Volvuna muttered as they heard loud footsteps. They spotted a large bin and quickly went inside it. Luckily for them the bin was empty although a smell still lingered in the air.

<p class="MsoNormal">“How are you?” Lastrich knew that Volvuna was scared. Even in the darkness.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Okay. How did you meet Spielg?” Volvuna asked as Lastrich seemed taken aback.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Well it was a good few years ago,” Lastrich started.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center">***

<p class="MsoNormal">“Okay Spielg. I have moved you to a new squad,” a Zygon told him.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Please don’t,” Spielg asked looking towards the leader.

<p class="MsoNormal">“You have brought them down and there have been complaints,” the leader shouted as he walked away from Spielg.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Not good,” Spielg muttered looking towards the piece of paper on the table. It had coordinates. He the started to walk as he felt a soft rumble that went throughout the building.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Get out!” Somebody shouted as several more rumbles ran through the building. Each rumble felt stronger than the last as there was an explosion like sound. He then felt his ears pop as part of the building collapsed and then more bombs came down as he saw a bright white light.

<p class="MsoNormal">“No,” Spielg muttered as he felt himself running towards the white light. He knew his eyes were shut as he tried to get them open with no success. He then felt something as he quickly went up.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Wake up,” a slithery voice told Spielg as he then felt a slap across his face as his eyes quickly went wide open.

<p class="MsoNormal">“What are you?” Spielg asked seeing the leathery green skinned creature above.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Silurian,” the female voice replied.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Got a name?” Spielg asked finally standing on his own two feet.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Lastrich and yours?” Lastrich looked upon the weird Zygon.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Spielg,” Spielg looked around and then at his coordinates as he saw the Silurian had put a hand out.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Welcome to the squad,” Lastrich smiled remembering the name.

<p class="MsoNormal">“What do you mean?” Spielg asked feeling the back of his head.

<p class="MsoNormal">“You are a part of my squad. You were the new recruit joining me,” Lastrich told Spielg who looked uneasy.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Oh. I wanted a better alien to be in my squad,” Spielg told Lastrich who rolled her eyes.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center">***

<p class="MsoNormal">“That is the short story of how I met Spielg,” Lastrich grinned as they both went quiet hearing heavy panting.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Let’s get out of here,” Volvuna whispered.

<p class="MsoNormal">“How will we do that without the creature seeing us?” Lastrich asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Just let me figure it out,” Volvuna wondered looking around and listening out.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center">***

<p class="MsoNormal">“Just transform,” Rakthro shouted to Spielg.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I can’t. I may not be good at changing from one form and I need time to get my energy back,” Spielg reminded the large Goloc.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Plan B,” Rakthro muttered.

<p class="MsoNormal">“What’s plan B?” Spielg asked as they heard a large roar from behind.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Run faster,” Rakthro shouted as they continued running through the dark planet. They suddenly fell down something.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Ouch,” Spielg complained.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Get here,” Rakthro ordered as he had gone into a cave like thing that was under the area they had fallen. Spielg crawled under as they heard the creature jump over and saw it as it ran the other way to where they had went.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Do you remember when we had first met?” Spielg asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Yes. Why?” Rakthro looked next to him to an almost impossible to see Spielg.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Well we could die here so why not remember the good times?” Spielg asked barely able to see Rakthro.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Fine. Let’s talk about it but I’m sure we will survive with a planet full of flesh eating monsters and no way out,” Rakthro said confidently.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Well it started with the squad which was just me and Lastrich,” Spielg started it off.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center">***

<p class="MsoNormal">“Our third mission,” Lastrich put the brief down on the tiny table they had.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Hopefully the first success,” Spielg spoke down looking bored.

<p class="MsoNormal">“What’s wrong?” Lastrich asked not really caring.

<p class="MsoNormal">“You said we would get another member soon,” Spielg told Lastrich.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Blame mission control. No one wants to join the squad that fails,” Lastrich spat.

<p class="MsoNormal">“This time will be successful,” Spielg smiled.

<p class="MsoNormal">“You said that the last two times,” Lastrich told him.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Well I have a feeling,” Spielg looked up to the window.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Let’s go now,” Lastrich demanded as she walked out of the small building.

<p class="MsoNormal">''Some time later the two arrived on a planet and were camping out behind bushes and trees. They were watching a prison and it’s schedule. Lastrich was learning the blue prints and Spielg was watching to learn the guards routine. They had camped out here for the last few days surviving on plants and a river not far away. ''

<p class="MsoNormal">“Get ready,” Spielg ordered as he held some tools up.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Ready,” Lastrich replied to him as they ran towards the fence and begun cutting it. Lastrich held a device which cut off electrical currents to avoid being electrified by the fence.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Done,” Spielg removed the bit of fence and ran through looking towards a watch he had bought.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Good?” Lastrich asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Good,” Spielg confirmed checking both ways.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Over here,” Lastrich told him as they entered the large buildings.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Wait,” Spielg whispered darting into another room as Lastrich followed. They hid in the room as voices trailed past.

<p class="MsoNormal">“How did you know people were coming?” Lastrich asked very impressed.

<p class="MsoNormal">“They are guards. This is the entrance they go out,” Spielg replied as they walked out of the room and ran for a few minutes finally reaching a room that looked like a science lab. They saw cages which contained Golic.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Find Subject 2B68IK,” Lastrich read from her hand where there were scribbles as they looked around.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Here,” Spielg whispered as they saw a Goloc with its back to the cell.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Good work,” Lastrich whispered walking up to the cage as she used the same device that cut off electricity to open the cell. They saw the blue light that had surrounded the cell disappear as they heard a mild click as they pulled the door back.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Well done,” a very deep voice greeted them.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Busted,” Lastrich murmured.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Shall we do this the easy or hard way,” the man had floppy black hair and a long grey/black jacket coat.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Neither,” Lastrich smiled as she pulled out a gun.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I will get him,” Spielg said as he went towards the Goloc and tapped it on the back.

<p class="MsoNormal">“GO AWAY!” It shouted looking towards Spielg.

<p class="MsoNormal">“We are here to save you,” Spielg replied coolly as he motioned towards Lastrich.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Fine,” the Goloc stood up and walked towards Lastrich and hit her on the head as she quickly went down.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I did not mean hit her. She is on our side I mean hit him,” Spielg shouted as the Goloc ran towards the man who stood perfectly still.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Not real,” the Goloc spoke softly as he swiped towards the man he hand passing straight through.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Let’s go quickly. You pick her up,” Spielg ordered as they started to walk quickly. They then waited inside a room or a few minutes.

<p class="MsoNormal">“When can we go?” The Goloc asked assuming he was going to be put free.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Soon. Now,” Spielg whispered as they walked towards the gap in the fence which was still there.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Why has nobody noticed the hole in the fence?” The Goloc asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Not a clue,” Spielg admitted as they shuffled through and ran quickly.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Get on the pod,” Lastrich muttered finally stirring.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Good idea,” Spielg smiled as they all stood on the pod. All the stuff they had brought with them had disappeared, Lastrich had brought a device which burnt items if they were left for long enough.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Freedom?” The Goloc asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Sure,” Spielg smiled as they disappeared in a flash of light.

<p class="MsoNormal">''About a day later they had returned to the little place which had been given to them. The Goloc had joined them for the night as he awaited to leave. ''

<p class="MsoNormal">“Are you sure you want to leave?” Lastrich asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Yes,” the Goloc replied.

<p class="MsoNormal">“What is your name? I don’t think you have told us yet,” Spielg looked curiously towards the Goloc.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I don’t have one,” the Goloc looked down. He was very sad at the moment.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Oh,” Lastrich murmured as they began thinking.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I have a suggestion, Rakthro. After my granddad who was the best Zygon I have ever known,” Spielg offered as the Goloc considered it.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Rakthro,” the Goloc smiled “my name is Rakthro.”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Stay. We need a new member,” Lastrich said smiling to Spielg while speaking. The Zygon looked excited at the prospect.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Definitely!” Rakthro smiled.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Our first successful mission has brought a new member,” Spielg smiled.

<p class="MsoNormal">“What is the name of the team?” Rakthro asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Not a clue but when we think of a good name then we will stick with it,” Lastrich replied as the three looked to the table, another mission brief.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center">***

<p class="MsoNormal">“Thanks for that.But next time you tell the story could you shorten it a little?” Rakthro asked Spielg who grinned.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Sure thing. Now where is my device?” Spielg looked around.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Here you go,” Rakthro handed it to him.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Let me guess, on the table?” Spielg asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Yep. I left it in a pouch I developed while in captivity,” Rakthro’s voice trailed off as he spoke the last words.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I’m sorry about your captivity. And it was all to get rid of your other brain,” Spielg trailed off.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Don’t speak about it,” Rakthro asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Hear it?” Spielg asked as they heard growling and then loud sniffing. They could just about make out something as they saw a face suddenly appear.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Apples,” Rakthro spoke silently.

<p class="MsoNormal">“And they don’t chew,” Spielg said as they both felt around the floor hearing the Kilfron attempting to get in. It was far too big to get into the small space.

<p class="MsoNormal">“There,” Rakthro felt an apple as he handed it to Spielg.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Watch this,” Spielg smiled as he threw the apple. They heard it going down the Kilfron’s throat and then a few rumbles. And then an almighty bang sounded out as they saw the blue blood of the creature splat out.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Do you remember why we came here?” Rakthro asked as they crawled out of the hiding place.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Something about snatching kids,” Spielg replied trying to remember the folder.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Where are all the kids?” Rakthro asked as they looked along a huge field which stretched beyond the eye could see.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Snatched,” Spielg replied as he checked his device.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Got it?” Rakthro asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“There,” Spielg pointed seeing a map like structure on his device.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Here we go,” Rakthro smiled as they walked out into the open.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center">***

<p class="MsoNormal">“Got it,” the Engineer grinned as the apple went straight into the Kilfron’s mouth as they then watched as it exploded.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Nice throw,” Jeff grinned.

<p class="MsoNormal">“The children. Where are they?” Captain Avery asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“They were all killed by the Kilfron’s,” Jeff looked around.

<p class="MsoNormal">“So this mission is a waste of time,” Captain Avery muttered.

<p class="MsoNormal">“What is the device?” The Engineer asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Oh this thing can send a signal of a single particle all around the world. To replicate it if you will,” Captain Avery held the small black device out. It had a small screen with a red and green button.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Explain the buttons,” the Engineer ordered.

<p class="MsoNormal">“The green is to send the signal the red is too read the signal so red before green,” Captain Avery answered.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Good idea,” the Engineer smiled as he grabbed the device.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Hey!” Captain Avery looked angry but kept it back intrigued at what the Engineer would do.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Let me guess. You will need an apple,” Jeff smiled as he handed one over as they sudeenly heard a growl. The Kilfron loomed over Jeff as it grabbed him and sunk its teeth into his head as they saw a pool load of blood dripping from it.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Now or never,” Captain Avery told him.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I know!” The Engineer shouted as he put the apple onto a spike like thing at the top of the device and then pressed the red button. They ran as it was being processed.

<p class="MsoNormal">“We are going to have to wait about a minute,” Captain Avery said as they spotted a corpse. Captain Avery stopped to look at it.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Hurry up or it will kill us,” the Engineer spat out.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Child. They actually killed the children,” Captain Avery’s voice sounded hollow as they heard a beep from the device.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Yes,” the Engineer muttered as the Kilfron loomed over them ready to pounce as the Engineer pressed the green button.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Hurry,” Captain Avery sounded very scared by this point.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Done it already,” the Engineer walked to the Kilfron “don’t mess with me or try to kill innocents in a pointless war as you will never win.” Then the creature exploded as they heard several other explosions from all around.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Jeff is dead,” Captain Avery tried to feel for a pulse. Even though it was impossible that Jeff could be alive.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I thought it would be obvious,” the Engineer grunted as he walked towards a large beam of light that had suddenly appeared in the sky.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center">***

<p class="MsoNormal">The group met at the light all of them seemingly feeling fine from their ordeal.

<p class="MsoNormal">“We did not have to find a way out,” Lastrich smiled.

<p class="MsoNormal">“How did they suddenly explode?” Rakthro asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Simple. A device which puts out a particle to every part of the planet and we used an apple to destroy the Kilfron,” the Engineer explained as Volvuna turned off the device which had been shining the bright light into the sky.

<p class="MsoNormal">“All dead?” Spielg asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“We can only hope,” Captain Avery grinned.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I have to check if the one that was watching us died. I did not see it explode and would love to see the tattered remains,” Volvuna smiled as the others nodded. Volvuna turned around a corner as she looked around for a body. The place was dark and eerie as she heard something scrape and then a growl.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Kalossian,” the Kilfron hissed in almost a whisper but in the silence it sounded more like a shout.

<p class="MsoNormal">“You speak?” Volvuna asked terrified. The Kilfron nodded slowly.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Kalossian,” it whispered in a chilling voice.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Is that all you can speak?” Volvuna while terrified also was intrigued by this creature.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Kalossian,” it nodded to confirm that is all that it spoke as it suddenly lunged at Volvuna. She screamed. The Kilfron bit part of her head as the others came running.

<p class="MsoNormal">“It must be immune to the apple,” the Engineer realised as he lunged at the Kilfron pinning it down but knew this would only last a few seconds. They then saw a second Kilfron suddenly appear from nowhere.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Bisagri,” the second one said as it pulled the Engineer of the other Kilfron. The second Kilfron was the same size as the Kilfron. Exactly the same size.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Spielg?” Lastrich asked as the Kilfron nodded. Spielg as the Kilfron began attacking the other way as he threw the Kilfron against the wall and took a large bite out of it’s head. The Kilfron laid on the floor bleeding heavily as Spielg changed back.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Nice work Zygon,” Captain Avery grinned as the Engineer picked up 2.3 metres of Kalossian as Volvuna’s body flopped.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Don’t you dare die on me,” the Engineer shouted as they sited the car they had rented and saw someone in it. The person had a bite out of their head as Rakthro dragged the body out and started the engine as they all crammed in. The Engineer tried to revive Volvuna as he could no longer feel a pulse.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Anything?” Lastrich asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“The pulse is gone,” the Engineer looked down still trying. Never giving up no matter how small the likelihood of her surviving was.

<p class="MsoNormal">The group awaited in the hospital waiting room waiting for any news. They had been waiting for a few days now yet their was hardly any news about Volvuna.

<p class="MsoNormal">Doctor Kashem was waiting on Volvuna. He checked the monitor again, nothing. This had been the case for the last few days as he tried to revive her again. He never had let a patient die although he was starting to give up on this one. Then from the machine that monitored Volvuna, beep. He felt like the heavens had opened and let him in as he watched as the heart started going again.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Where am I?” Volvuna asked seeing Kashem.

<p class="MsoNormal">“It’s all good,” Kashem smiled as he felt himself blushing a little.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Who are you?” Volvuna asked seeing her fellow Kalossian standing above her.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Kashem, I’m the Doctor who has brought you back to life,” Doctor Kashem smiled again not sure why as Volvuna sat up.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Can I see my friends?” Volvuna grinned.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Sure. Call them in,” Kashem smiled as someone darted out of the room. A few moments later they heard footsteps pounding the floor as the group rushed in.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Thank god,” the Engineer grinned as he hugged Volvuna.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Not too much she is still weak,” Kashem said as the Galaxies Guardians were one again.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center">***

<p class="MsoNormal">“I really cannot thank you enough,” Volvuna told her Doctor. She had been in there for a few more weeks after waking up. She had found herself liking Doctor Kashem as they had talked for hours at a time.

<p class="MsoNormal">“How about a date?” Kashem asked scratching the top of his head.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Do you want me to give you a calendar?” Volvuna asked clearly confused.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I mean do you want me to go out with me?” Kashem smiled.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Outside? We can do that now,” Volvuna looked outside.

<p class="MsoNormal">Lastrich had been waiting as she watched the chat. She then walked towards them as she had heard the conversation.

<p class="MsoNormal">“He likes you in a lovey way. I do not understand these type of emotions but I can see it,” Lastrich explained to Volvuna.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Oh,” Volvuna replied.

<p class="MsoNormal">“So. Do you want me and you to get dinner some time?” Kashem asked again.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Uhm ... sure?” Volvuna looked unsure.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I will forward you the details,” Kashem grinned as he pecked Volvuna on the cheek. Lastrich then walked away as Volvuna followed quickly.

<p class="MsoNormal">“What just happened?” Volvuna asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Love, you two share a connection and you have to take advantage of that,” Lastrich smiled “you have a date,” Lastrich chuckled.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I don’t see the funny side,” Volvuna replied not sure why Lastrich was chuckling.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Don’t worry Volvuna. You are getting less childish and finally growing up and love is all a part of that,” Lastrich replied as the gang awaited in a car nearby.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Fine, I’m growing up,” Volvuna grinned as she got inside their new black car.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Hurry up,” Rakthro said impatiently as Lastrich got in. He then quickly went and zoomed off into the sky.
