Chapter 1078 - ORANGE

"Guys, what about the game? We just showed the World what we are doing to warm up, but now we gotta close it. Hook, line, and sinker."

"Game? What game? And is it safer than this?"

"Oh. Ten times easier."

"Ooookay."

"Bye again."

"Hey, wait a second. I didn't say you could leave."

"You said your boys could stick with us all day until Nine."

"And you never said anything about seeing Wherewolves. Just to be safe. Now that you have seen us, we can assure you we are."

"........Where are you going?"

"The Highlands.

We scouted it, and determined it's the best, biggest; out of sight place. A wasteland from above."

"Is that what your drone cat saw?"

"You…..you saw that? I was tired, and it was my first time nighthunting. Probably woke the whole Neighbordhood with its motors to be honest."

"Was definitely no Frog croak, and no animals here Purr like that."

"So, can we go?"

"As far as we know, it's a Wasteland. As dead as dead can be."

"..................This...is not dead."

"Jacklyn, chill out. My Father doesn't know everything about this Planet, you know. Kind of hard for one man to walk everywhere."

"I'm not asking him to walk everywhere. Just…..don't look at something once and say cool. If you really cared, you would have come back."

"So what do we do? We got the Foilage to protect us."

"LET'S MOVE. Hurry before they see you."

"Oooo, this is bad. This is really bad. I can't see what exactly they are transferring in those Crates, but I can tell you; they did not mie it themselves."

"And they did not order it themselves."

"Who do you think they are running from?"

"I don't know, but what say you help us help them out."

"Father told us not to."

"...We're not his Children."

"You Rainbows are the worst."

*Cli…cli…click*

*Phuaaauummmm*

"At least, do I get a suit? Why are you handing out magic, and not those?"

"Uhhh…..maybe next time.

Darius, watch it."

"Sliaaat…

Ooohh…ohhh…ohhhh…

Thanks, Jacklyn.

You think they heard?"

"HEY, WHO GOES THERE?"

"Shirt, cover us in a rock."

*Phoooom*

".....Sir, you see something?"

*Caclick.........click......*

"Hmmmm. Just falling rocks."

"Good."

"You should still hurry up."

"Jacklyn.

Jacklyn.

They're gone. You can come out out of your Rock…."

*Errwiiaaaankkkk...*Pisshh*

"Where'd they go?"

"Darius, this time; shh."

"Got it."

'I don't know what these Bears and Wolves are transporting, but those Bears as Slaves, and Wolves as savages…I don't like it."

"Maybe they just found a way to steal more food. That's what everybody is after. That's all they talk about. No tech, no cars, no nothing here worth stealing. Maybe lightbulbs."

"Lightbulbs?"

"I don't know."

"You really think they hid Lightbubls under all the animal fat in those Crates?"

"....Could be?"

"Whatever it is, they are trying to get it out as fast as they can, and whipping those Bears to do the same."

"Then I suggest we go even faster."

"Hey, did you hear something?"

"It's just the rocks."

"No. Honest. I heard something."

"Little Bear, don't try this again. Get back to work this minute.

*Whoooo…tiiissshh*

*Catch*

Huh?"

"Shockwave."

*Brzzzzzzzzzzz*

"Aaaaaaaaaaghhhhh."

"FREEZE!!!"

*Chi…chi….chick*

"Now, come on boys. I don't think those Guns belong to you. Where'd you get them?"

"I said, 'Freeze!!!!!'"

"No.

You...…FREEZE!!!!!!!!!

*Phhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh*

"Hey.

*tap, tap*

Shh. I am here to rescue you."

"Little kid, get out of here before they recognize you."

"I came this far. I am not leaving without you."

*Chichick*

"Oh, he can say hi to you in the new life."

*Bang*

"Nooooooo."

*Slu..slu…slu….sluuuu…..sluuu…sluuuu.*

"Huuuh? You're…..you're...You're the Kid on Tv."

"You really…..shouldn't have done that."

*Watissshhh*

"Huuhhh…Huhhhhh…huhhhhh.

Let me go. Let me go. Let me…"

*Phueeeeemmm*

*PISH*

"Get out of my face. All of you.

*Chichick, chichick, chichick."

I SAID, 'GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!'"

"Aaaaaaaghhhhh.

We're going. We're going. We're going."

"Jake, here. Take the Keys and free them from their bondage."

"Kris, try to ask them what they are Mining, cause it sure aint food; and it sure aint Guns."

"On it."

"On it."

"Rainbow, can you hear me?"

"Loud and clear, Darius. Go ahead."

*PHURRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*

"Elwin, what's that I see?"

"Oh piss. You're just like Lolli. You can see everything."

"Are you...helping the Wolves?"

"No. I am freeing them. They are trapped inside. I'm doing fine, Darius. Now get off the feed before I blow you too."

"I love you too."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah."

*PHURRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*

"You're too late, Jacklyn. What we discover will revolutionize everything. We found God. God, I say. No more hunting for your own food. Once we're done, all you have to do is walk to it. Haaahaaahaaahaaaa."

"The only place you're walking….. is Hell."

"No, no, no, no…noooooooooooo.

*Crush*

"Jacklyn, what was that for?"

"...You find anything?"

"Nothing unusual. Just Crates full of animal flesh. Guns guarding them. Not much out of the ordinary."

"Bring me one of the Crates."

"Yes, Captain."

"Now I know for a fact that these Bears did not mine Snails out of rock. There is something more going on here. Something more....."

"What is it?"

"This black powder encasing the animal bits. You know what it is?"

"Gun residue?"

"On the Merchandise?"

"Well, they did illegally import them, so maybe they brought them in through here. Struck a deal and said, 'You give us guns, we give you animals?"

"That does seeem practical. Guns will take down animals a whole lot easier, so while their Buyer thinks they are getting the better end of the deal, actually the Producers are."

"All good points, but this is not Gun residue."

"Huh?

Huh?"

"Huuh?"

"Then….what is it?"

"Maybe they did trade guns for animals, but that is not why they kept trading. This is battery residue."

"That must have been a big explosion to shoot a solid battery into thin powder."

"Not just one Battery. The more Animals they pulled out, the more residue they found. Whatever Batteries exploded, they knew they had to come from the inside. That's why they instructed the Bears to keep digging."

"But digging for what? Did this place used to be an old Cellar or something? Got caked over by sand, and they wanted to dig their way back? Although all the lights are out from the Explosion, a memory urged them on?"

"Shh. I am checking for an airway."

*Tap, tap......…tap, tap*

"Jacklyn, these Rocks are solid. With the Bears picks, they can't get through."

"Where are even are the Bears?"

"Safe.

Kris and Jake are returning them home. They said they don't even know what they are digging for."

"The Wolves certainly do. Or…they think they do.

*Tap, tap*

...…Here. Elwin, can you blast a hole right here? I hear something?"

"An air passage?"

"No. a Broken….sort of like...…*hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......hummmmmmmmmmm*

"Like a motor?"

"Yeah. Like a motor.

Okay. Do your thing."

"What do you think that humming noise is?"

"Scarlett, get back. Unless you want to end as just a tear."

"Sorry."

*Whoooo…..whoooooo....whoooooo….whooooo…*

*BIRAFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF*

"Jacklyn, NOW!!!!!!!"

"FORCESHIELD!!!"

*BOOM*

*Piarrccshhhhhhhhh.........*

"Do you guys see anything?"

"Nothing. Just a blinding light. Am I in Heaven? Did we die?"

"I don't think so. I hear that Humming Jacklyn was referring to."

"How? I don't......I hear it too."

"You guys must be...

*ahhkkk, ahhk, ahhk......…acccchhhhkkkkk*

"MY......WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"If that's not a portal to another world, then I don't know what is?"

"You call them Portals, we call them Devil's Doorway."

"No matter what you call them, call it real....cause there it is."

"Guys, guys. This is none of those things."

"It isn't?"

"Now I know why the Wolf said He can take anything now. This is not a Portal to go somewhere.

This is a Portal for others to come out of . Look, their is the Engine."

"But there are no Batteris. How is it purring?"

"A Baker's Dozen."

"Huh?"

"Everybody knows a Dozen equals four, but a Baker's dozen always equals thirteen."

"Jacklyn, you are not making any sense."

"How is one Battery controlling all of this? And….where is the Battery?"

"........On the other side of that door. Time Machine needs twelve batteries; but we all know Batteries don't go straight to the Generator. They go through a final Battery...or…..Cords..…to turn that energy into useful. Positive and negative. One Battery is in the Generator keeping all these Portals lit, but not strong enough to stay open."

"Jacklyn?"

".....Fighters grabbed all the Batteries they could fit, snuck on Ships; while Bullets rained through the air. Most hit their targets, blasting these Portal doors and spreading their components elsewhere; but thankfully none hit the Batteries on the Outgoing end. Just the receiving."

"Jacklyn, what aren't you telling us?"

".......I'm sorry, God; but I must divulge my first secret.

*Huuuuuu….whoooooo*

There is a real Time Machine out there. None of the Batteries are in their Pods to hook it up. I have one of the Batteries. It powers our ship, and the rest must be in Starships. If you ever find one that can keep up to us in Warp Speed, that means they have a Battery; but have no idea what exactly it is. The reason why we can't time travel with just our ship is...….actually, I don't know. Since there is a Time Machine, that means there has to be Portals to take them to. Here, we have found one; and judging how many there are in the world…..I again don't know. But if the Time Machine takes you to the past, these Portals take you back to the Future. The Wolves were hoping to go there and bring back whatevr, and travel where they please; not knowing that what lay behind these doors is a wasted Lab. 

Questions?"

"So you're saying I could go anywhere in this timezone, as long as it happened on this Planet? Or…..say I went back in time Fourty years? Does that aslo affect space travel, and thus all other Planets are also fourty years in the past, or just mine?"

"Uhhhhhhhhhh.....

I'm just a SecretBearer, meaning I protect secrets. I don't explore them."

"Then why not have us keep your Secrets as well? Huh….huh.....what do you think? Two heads are better than one, right?"

"So now what do you want us to do, now that we found something we shouldn't have found?"

"My gut is telling me I should side with the Bad guys on this one and continue to destroy, but...…my brain is saying whatever the Good guys used this for, had to be good. Right?"
