Ch. 4

“*Snort* ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz…” Nameless sleeps deeply as Hoshi stares at him. Her soft eyes watching him sleep as she dozes off.

“OH, CRAP!” Nameless yells as he wakes up eyes in terror.

“Ahh!” screamed Hoshi as she falls to the ground in her almost slumbering state. “What in the world are you screaming’ about?!?” She demands as she gives him a dirty look.

“I forgot to set the alarm clock…” He replies as he slowly gets back in bed and starts snoring right away.

“God!” She thinks as she gets a glass of water.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Shane smiles as he slowly falls asleep, but is soon awakened by a cry of fright from Rose. He jumps down to the ground from the tree and sees Rose completely shaken up. Shane jumps down and leans over her face. She lies on top of a pad and is under a layer of blankets. Her face pale she brings her arm up out of the covers and points downward. Shane goes to the bottom of her bed where her feet are. Lifting the covers and quickly pulls the snake and soon realizes she wears no nightgown.

“Eek! You don’t have any dang clothes on!” Shane yelled as he through the snake away and dashed up the tree. His eyes covered, he screams out loud and falls out of the tree. “Oww!” he said as he hit the ground and still had his eyes covered. Rose ran up to him and kneeled next to him, but Shane still had his eyes covered.

“Sorry, but I don’t have anything to wear…” She says as Shane tears his clothes off and throws them at her. His armor protecting his naked flesh, he climbs back up the trees once more. She sighs, gets dressed, and heads back to bed. They both slowly fall back to sleep.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The alarm buzzes, and instantly stops. Nameless sits up in bed, his hands forward. The clock had been frozen as Nameless woke up. Hoshi, cooking eggs, throws a box of soap at Nameless’ head as he walks out of the room.

“What is this?”

“You never did use soap before, have you? I figured as much for the fact of how bad you smell. Not only cigarettes and alchohol, but grease and dirt...”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” he yelled as she pushed him into the bathroom. “If I’m gonna take a shower…”He yelled from behind the door but swiftly opened it, “…then I don’t want him in here!” He yelled as he threw a slime lizard thing out the door, and soon slamming it (the door) shut.

Hoshi laughed as the lizard scrambbelled off to the next room. “At least you have hygiene!” She yells at the lizard as he runs to the next room.

After cooking breakfast she makes everyone sit down and eat. One lizard gawked at her cooking and he didn’t live to long. So no matter how good or bad her food was, they never said anything.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shane fell out of the tree and hit his protected head on a rock. Jumping up at his startled state, he fired a laser at a frog; which exploded on impact. Rose stood with terror because the blast crossed right before her face. Getting clothes on Shane took some other clothes he had found in a cabin. Reason why they didn’t sleep there? The house exploded.

“Gee, sorry Rose. I was kind of jumpy. I’m sorry…” He stuttered as she walked off into the forest. *Sigh* Shane walked off and launched his bike. Getting on he raced down the side of the river. “A lake!”

------------------------------------------------------------------------

“All right, we attack again today!” Nameless yelled, stepping out of the bathroom.

“Yikes! You have white skin! You were in there long enough!” Hoshi yelled as she slammed a towel in his chest. “And wash those fingers of yours too!”

After regrouping to the ship they unloaded their Gliders and fighter ships. Nameless had made copies of Shane’s hover-bike, but they couldn’t transform to the different shapes. After loading up they raced out to find Shane and Rose.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shane noticed the energy readings and raced back to Rose. Upon finding her he locked her down under an Air bubble. He then blasted a tree which fell towards her but the bubble stopped it from hitting her. The trees leaves scattered around the bubble and hid it from any eyes that might see. Shane jumped back on the bike and raced off. “I love fighting in water, it’s so much fun!” He yelled to himself as he raced back to the lake. Shooting flares at the Gliders from a blaster he found in the forest; Shane grappled onto a fighter and blasted through a bunch of ships. “I’m not ever gonna stop hunting you guys down!” He yelled as he sliced through a couple of Gliders. He dove off of the exploding ships into the water below. The Air bubble formed over him as he splashed into the water. Landing down at the bottom of the lake he felt a tremendous explosion. The water divided and waved up on the shore. Washing away the houses along the edge of the water, the waves filled the lake again as it sucked Shane into the waves because of the current. The gliders splashed down into the water as the lizard men sunk to the bottom as well. Spotting Shane, they raced after him as he lashed his blades and swam to their sides. Cutting through the lizards, Shane was hit by a missile in the back. Throwing him out of the water he flew up into the air and was kneed in the back by Nameless. He had launched himself off the bike and upward when Shane flew out of the water. Shane and Nameless both fell back down to the water, but Nameless blasted an ice wave at the water making it solid. The lizard men barely made it out as the water froze. Landing On the ice they blasted upwards. Shane crashed through the ice and sunk into the freezing water. Nameless stuck his hand down and charged the ice-ball as it completely froze the lake instead of the top layer. Shane charged his Air bubble just in time so that the ice didn’t freeze him. Nameless smiled as he stood up and looked at the other lizard things. Shane expanded the bubble as it cracked the ice and pushed it back. He crawled up the tunnels he made out of the ice and emerged from the frozen lake. The lizads pounced but were blown away by Shane’s single attack. ‘I should have done that a long time ago, I wonder why I never thought of it…’ He thought as he stood before Nameless and Hoshi. They moved in to attack but he stopped them both with his arms out. Dashing across the frozen lake he got to the land as the lake started to crack. Nameless and Hoshi ran off to the forest and leaped at the last moment. Shane ran off into the woods. Nameless striked the forest with flames as it burned up. Shane fell from the sky as he kicked Nameless in the chest. Hoshi sent a black lightning bolt at him but he dodged it. She dodged his blade, but it slit off the chip from her neck. She instantly fell asleep as Nameless jumped in the air. Shane lashed out his blade and clashed with Nameless’ ice sword. Backflipping to a tree, Shane launched off and smashed Nameless to the ground. Nameless punched Shane in the stomach as blood spirt out of his mouth. Shane fell back and launched a grappling hook at a mountain cliff. Kicking over Nameless he reeled himself to the edge. Nameless leaped up to the rocks and landed on the cliff where Shane stood. Taking a kick at Shane’s head, Nameless leaped into the air and kicked Shane in the mouth. Shane took the double attack and jetted to the sky. Blasting down, Shane blew the rocks from under Nameless’ feet. Shane dashed down to Nameless as he slashed at the chip. Nameless dodged and uppercutted Shane in the stomach. Shane fell down and rolled over, blasting Nameless with his lasers. “Ahh!” Shane yelled as he was kicked in the stomach once more. Nameless beat Shane down to the ground with a few attacks and stood over him. Blasting the ice into Shane’s chest, a blue streak flew across the mountain walls up and over them as it knocked Nameless off the cliff. “Thanks, Hoshi…” Shane sighed as he was frozen to the ground.

“How could you?” He yelled as he blasted at Hoshi with a fireball. Hoshi dodged around and electrocuted Nameless’ Ice ball. Sending an electric shock to Nameless, he melted the ice quickly from his hand. He looked up to see the back side of a boot. A rock hit Nameless in the head as more doubled after it. Dodging the rocks he was kicked in the head by Hoshi again. This sent him into a cluster of rocks. Pulling out her dagger she sliced down at his head, but a rock hit it out of her hand. Confused she saw the rocks knocking the knife in the air as they pounded Nameless. The knife fell to the ground, as a large rock knocked Nameless underneath it. The knife landed down, cutting the chip from his neck. The rocks froze in mid-air and hovered as they slowly drifted to the ground. Rose emerged from the bushes using her telekinesis to pull the knife out of the floor. It floated to Hoshi as it stopped. She went to grab it but it floated down into its sheath in her boot. The bubble slowly vanished as Rose walked over to Nameless. Lizards snuck up behind Rose and Hoshi as they inspected Nameless and Shane. A lizard charged at them but was caught in a mid-air jump. He floated over the ground as the other lizards panicked. Hoshi blasted them while Rose held them in mid-air. Shane was still frozen to the ground but he slowly woke up. He found that Nameless had been moved next to him. Using the one arm he could, he healed Nameless’ wounds as he was infected by a chip. Rose started to implode the last ones, but fainted from the exhaustion. When Hoshi carried her back to Nameless and Shane, Shane was gone. The ice had cracked and no foot prints were left...
