Chapter Twelve: HeartThe weak screams of Lalna echoed through the mountain base. Nano shut her eyes, holding back tears as she watched electricity surge through her loved one for the eleventh time. The repeater ticked off and the scientist panted as sweat trickled down his forehead. His body felt like it was on fire, he had burns all over his skin. He coughed and a smokey cloud exited his lungs. "Almost...there...Nano..." said Lalna wearily as he continued to smile and cough. "I know Lalna...be strong..." whispered Nano as she looked at him with sadness, she hated not being able to do anything. Something inside her really h̜̬̗

"Lomadia?" "Lom?" "Lomadia, wake up" Lomadia's eyes flickered open and she jerked up in her bed. She looked to see Rythian sitting on the edge of her bed. "Sorry, but I've got news..." The owl lover sat up and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. "No it's fine...what's wrong?" Lomadia asked through a yawn. "The results Smiffy and I were working on finished while we were out. We can't cure her...Nano...we..." the endermage sputtered as the realisation dawned on him. He took a deep breath and sighed. "I'm sorry..." he got up and walked down the stairs, out of the bedroom. Lomadia stared at the wall, she heard the murmuring downstairs as Rythian to

Chapter Eleven: Torture Wind blew through the open roof as Sjin stared up at the night sky in the courtroom. His eyes were lit with amazement at the sparkling stars but his mind raced through thoughts. His mind replayed the sight of the scientist's crazed eyes and the sound of DJ's howl as embers glittered around him. He looked around the court to see Trott and Smiff standing by the hand, looking up at it and grieving their late hatter. Lomadia had fled to the beds as it was pretty late into the night, Sjin couldn't lie, he'd love to sleep right now but with all the events that had unfolded, it would be a struggle to close his eyes. Rythian

Chapter Ten: Skirmish As the moon now shone directly above them, the gang flew above the lava-covered tree and all landed on the still-lush leaves. The gang were still unable to comprehend why these trees specifically were immune to fire and were unable to burn. Even Rythian couldn't begin to understand the inferno-proof tree. Their eyes shone with the orange glow of the lava as they searched for their friend. DJ sniffed the ground and began to move forward. They followed their furry companion till they reached the end of the canopy. They slowly approached the edge and peered down to see two shadows. "We need a plan..." whispered Rythian as

Chapter Nine: Interest The wind rushed past Nano's face as she sat in the embrace of the madman's arms. She felt happy to be with her secret love but conflicted to see him look so different, so twisted. With a rustle, they landed on a large tree. Nano watched as the man put her down and took off his jetpack. "Lalna?" questioned the flux-girl as she looked at the strange man in front of her. The lab-coated man turned and looked at his former apprentice. His crazed eyes sparkling in the moonlight, he looked sleep deprived. "Lalna?" repeated the small girl. "What?!" shouted Livid suddenly. Nano jumped back in surprise. "Where have you been? W

Chapter Eight: Recrimination    "You can't be serious?!" the shrieking shout echoed throughout the hall. "She's too dangerous, first the mob horde and now the rail bros" defended Smiffy. The owl lover could only look at the obsidian box that sat to the side of the hand. Nano looked at Lomadia through the iron bars, sadness in her eyes. Lomadia continued to stare down Smiffy even though he was much taller than her. He returned the stare and she saw the fear in his eyes. She closed her eyes and sighed, she walked back to her seat next to Sjin and crossed her arms. "The Cornerstone Society versus Nanosounds!" shouted Trott as he tapped a hamme

Chapter Seven: Encounter    "Why can't penguins fly?" "I don't know...cause Notch made them that way" "But why...seems a bit mean, doesn't it?" "I guess..." "Is it cause they're black and white...is Notch racist..." "Benji! I don't know!" said Stippin, annoyance in his voice. "I was only asking..." said Benji as he kicked at the grass. It was midnight at the Cornerstone and the Railbros were guarding Nano's cell. The area was well lit so they didn't have to be worried about mobs but some strays would always try to attack them. The land was still around them, it was a warm night and the bros were getting bored. Soft snoring could be heard fr

Chapter Six: Visited    Nano sighed as she continued to read her comic book. She sat on her bed with her feet dangling above the floor. The walls of obsidian only slightly lit up by the four torches that were dotted around the room. It had been two days now since she had been locked up, it had been a very lonely two days. "Password?.." said a deep voice outside. "Just let us in, you dumb asses" said a slightly higher pitched voice. The iron door creaked open as an owl hat appeared from the other side. "Lomadia!" exclaimed Nano as she got up and hugged her friend. Nano peered behind Lomadia to see the farmer with a basket. "Sjin!" said the f

Chapter Five: Outcome    The sun rose on another day in the Cornerstone as the courtroom was filled with sorrow. The gang had been up since the attack. After the events of Nano, the flux-girl had passed out. They had put her into bed as well as Lalna who was still unconscious from being thrown into a wall. Trott had given them both healing potions to help them recover better. The others all were present in the courtroom. Trott stood on the Hand of Truth with Smiffy and DJ standing by his side, their minds lost in thought as they tried to conceive what they saw. Sjin stood in the centre of the room with his hands on his chin in a thinking po

Chapter Four: Long Night    The zombies slowly trudged towards the door of the Cornerstone HQ. Rythian and Lomadia sliced those who dared come through the entrance. The rest discussed the plan. "Ok, Rail bros, you take Rythian and defend your Rail shack. Lalna and Nano, go with Lomadia to protect the House of Flowers and our crops. We will take Sjin and defend the base up here" commanded Trott. "Sound good?" The gang nodded their heads, any feuds between them were gone to protect the land they set out to build as a promise. "Ok then, good luck to you all. Rythian..." Rythian stabbed a zombie in the abdomen and turned to look at the walrus.
