So who killed him

Explosions soar among the beach, melting sand. Juzu launches fog out, his brass knuckles reaching to Plug, gripping him. Juzu swings Plug towards rocks crashing through them all.

Plug’s explosions free him. Rushing to Juzu, Plug hits him with the sword handle. Juzu goes flying down the sand. “Why didn't you go for the kill shot, Plug? It was right there,” says Rondo, rubbing his face.

“What’s your deal, buddy, why aren’t you using your full strength?”

“I can say the same about you, Juzu.”

Arrows clear from the treeline. Apollo and the people run heading to the outpost. “Juzu, we’re taking them all home, no matter what!”

“Apollo, I couldn’t agree with you any more.”

“Kick his ass and come on, we gotta get back to Blake.”

“I don’t think that's your power ore. I’ll need that now,” told Plug.

A titan green laser is blasted from the aircraft heading straight towards the people. Dammit, I won’t be able to save everyone.

A flash of green shines over everyone. At the last second the beam is reflected away shooting off into the distance, crashing on the ground leaving an explosion. It was countered by Plug.

“What the fuck is up with this guy?”

“I come down here for a reason, don’t get in my way, these are my kills! Now I have lost my taste, get the hell out of my face before it comes back.”

More green beams rain from the sky. Plug blocks them all away. Apollo heads into the forest with the group. “Hey! Who are you really?” says Juzu.

“The name is Plug, don't forget it, Juzu, and be prepared for what’s coming,” He smiles.

“Plug,” Rondo screams, almost shaking the ship. Plug disappears into an explosion. There’s more to this situation. Apollo licks blood off the cheek. Juzu jets off into the forest after them.

The Mother aircraft pressing sand down. Rondo walks out with the crew. “Spark, Miss Rich, and Morco go retrieve the power ore!”Plug walks towards the ship. “So…What was that stunt you just pulled off?” says Rondo.

“I’m thinking about the future. If you killed them, there would be no power ore to be made, let's just not come here for nothing,” says Plug. Rondo pats Plug on the shoulder. “Good thinking, save every last bit. I like how you think,” laughs Rondo.

Plug’s right hand is almost frozen whole. Plug taps upon the sword unfreezing his fingers. “I’m heading back inside.”

Miss Rich, Morco, and Spark return. “All of the power ore was destroyed, it's all in pieces.”

Rondo's foot cracked under him. Dante is looking for all the ore he can get. If this shit keeps happening, I’ll always get caught in the crossfire. Vader trash, but why haven’t I heard anything about them being close to our hidden site?

“You can’t destroy those power ores so easily, you gotta have some strength to do that,” says Spark. Plug walks to the spaceship grinding. Another alien trips, running for Rondo. “Sir, permission to speak.”

“Go ahead.”

“Sir, our androids scan from a distance location, giving multiple readings for power ores. Second, the androids we sent out to search for Rook came back. Spread throughout the surface, Rook's remains were nothing but ashes…”

“Rook's actually dead? Who the fuck killed him?” says Miss Rich.

“Dante isn’t going like this one bit. Someone send a message out to Dante ASAP!” “Another thing, Lord Dante has been trying to get in contact with you, sir.” Shit, isn’t this perfect timing.

Ice shards and arrows rain from above them all. Everyone manages to dodge without getting hit, however they weren’t the targets. The aircraft gets struck igniting fire. “Sir, our thrusters have been damaged,” says the alien.

“Go kill them,” says Rondo.

Before they could head out an arrow spreading out, one hundred yards heads upon everyone with snowflakes following behind. “Don’t get cocky.” Mecha arm charges up essence. Rondo ignites beams out his arm for the arrow splitting into two.

Sparks swing up, a fierce slashing essence grows into a colossal claw shooting up towards the arrow. Ripping it into pieces. Dash jets off a tree shooting into the sky dropping bombs destroying the snowflakes.

"Everyone, we’ll strike back later. Regroup all the androids together and start on repairs. The rest of you scout this island. Look everywhere for any power ore.”

Juzu, Blake, and Apollo gather everyone together at the outpost. Fog grows under the first class guard. “Everyone, hop on. We’re leaving this place for good. Captain, get in touch with Vader corps. Apollo, I need you to completely wipe out the outpost. We can't leave any intel behind.”

Apollo cuts his wrist, mixing with dense fog; blood portals show. Arrows emerge from the cold, jetting into the outpost blue explosions tear every wall down. Launching from Kowo Island, the once prisoners and Vader troops ride all on Juzu’s fog.

Apollo and Blake ride on his arrow. Blake's hands are stained red. She tries wiping them away. Blake’s eyes are stone iced.

“Blake, thank you for saving my soldiers,” the captain says.

“Thank you!” all the soldiers scream.

Her eyes water. “It’s my job, no problem guys.”

“Good work, Blake. Vanula will be proud of you.”

“Speaking of Vanula, we all got something to discuss. Don’t we, Juzu?” says Apollo.

“Yeah, you’re right there’s more to this power ore.” Dash makes it to the outpost, kicking smoke up. “Damn, wasn't fast enough. What the hell are they trying to cover up?”

Spirit energy and winds flow around dancing pale gray bones. “Victor, Victor, and Victor! That’s my name, Taro. I'm getting tired waiting for you to come. I’m hungry, I need your spirit, yes a strong one you have can I have your soul, please. I just can’t take the wait any longer come to the fucking spirit realm already! You little shit I need my MEAL!”

Victor’s spirit is revealed standing on a cliff. Dust and spirit energy flees the skeleton head to torso, but the rest of his body is a strong acorn brown horse. Below green light shines, and screaming souls spin in a milky whirlpool in agony. Taro wakes up in his bed dripping in sweat.

This is in my head. I can’t sleep without him contacting me in my dreams, dammit. The cold AC blows down his back. Holy shit, I forgot all about Ashley. I haven’t talked to her in weeks; what kind of boyfriend am I?

Laying down in bed, Taro stands in the spirit realm, thunder breaking the clouds. Is this the actual spirit realm, how did I get here? Victor smiles as he holds Ashley by the throat.

“Ashley!”

A sharp chipped skeleton blade lays in Victor's hands, stabbing her in the stomach. Blood spews from down into the whirlpool. Ashley wraps along with the screaming souls. “Ashley!”

Swinging for Victor, Taro returns to the Vader corps building, flames covering his arm. “I’m ending this spirit!” Oh, Taleen, aren't you a beauty? Fog clouds Zack Zack’s vision. Seeing a cloud moving at rapid speed.

Vanula walks behind Zack Zack. “So they made it back.” Mr. Z walks out of Taleen with Pai and Sola. “Dammit Pai, I’m not letting you fly this ship. There’s no way, you can’t even drive a car yet. What makes you think I’ll let you fly a spaceship.”

“Alright, fair enough don’t gotta break my heart.” Kel floats mid-air sitting criss cross applesauce . Focusing her essence, clouds pull in. Kel thinks back to her encounter with the lowlifes. I won’t let that happen again anymore. A pillar-like shape forms over Kel’s hand.

Bending trees backwards, essence fills the clouds. “Holy shit, Kel, if you continue this you’re gonna rip the whole corps off the ground.”

“Sorry about that, guys.”

“Don’t be, that’s some crazy amazing power.”

Juzu, Blake, and Apollo return to the Vader corps. “Who’re all these people?” says Pai.

“Troops, take these people to the med bay, let’s go.”

“Thank you, mister,” says the kid, hugging Blake. Vader’s troops guide everyone inside. “We picked them all up from Kowo Island. There’s also off-world enemies that have just arrived in their homeland.”

“Enemies from off-planet, there’s only one way they were able to get here quickly. Zack Zack, what you said could come true?”

“Vanula, what is the power ore? Why don’t you come clean? I know there’s more to this power.”

Vanula sees the once prisoners walk down the hall. “The ore is made from…” A damaged android crashes before them. Did this bot follow us all the way here, dammit? Pai teleports behind it, slashing the android in two. The android’s microphone turns on.

“So I’m guessing you all are the people who killed Rook? I can’t sense anywhere else with this much essence,” says Rondo.

Pai and Sola lock on each other. Sola, almost about to say something.

“No, I’m the only one who killed him,” says Pai with Rondo laughing through comms.

“Big mistake. Rook has friends and family. So don’t be surprised if more people come after your head, but you don’t have to worry about that... I’ll kill you myself. What goes around comes around.”

“Then come around, and see what’s waiting.”

“I’m coming for you and my power ore. Those people are valuable. I don't like when people mess with my things. Prepare yourself, you scum!” The android crumbles to flames.

"I was the one who killed Rook, why did you say…I had it handled.”

“You asked for my help when I first met you, let me get it right this time.”

“Just let him take it, he’s not gonna shut up if you don’t let him,” says Taro, kicking Pai.

“The enemies have our location; they could attack at any moment. Including we know what they’re after. Everyone, prepare yourselves for battle. We will stand guard here,” says Vanula.

More androids fall from the sky, shooting lasers upon the ground, however, Vanula erases everything away with volts. “They’re already attacking, no time to rest.”
