Have a preview... · 11:03pm May 15th, 2014
I know it's been a while since this story updated and it's almost finished! In the meantime, have a preview of the next chapter.
No, no! I insist!!
They all ran towards the half-standing structure, leaping through the entrance and ducking down out of sight. Since the booths on the wall adjacent to the door were destroyed or crushed and the windows above it were shattered, they were able to duck underneath it. Then, they all peaked out to see what was coming through the portal-like spiral. From the spiraling swirl, three different things fell to the ground. One of them they instantly recognized as the winged scorpion-like creature from the Toy Town, but the other two were completely different. Now that they were looking at them in the light, it made all of their hearts skip a beat at the terrifying-looking creatures.
The second creature appeared to look like an oversized dragonfly, except without the bulbous eyes they often had. Instead, it had one red light in the center of its head and the mouth that looked like an ant’s. By the looks of it, it didn’t appear to have any legs underneath it whatsoever. It still had its elongated body and tail, except the body looked much bigger; it was as if it were meant to hold something inside of it. Using its mechanized wings that glistened in whatever sunlight was available, it slowly hovered its way to the ground.
The third thing wasn’t a creature at all. Whether it was because of the distance, they couldn’t tell, but the third thing looked like a small ball that hovered in the air with the dragonfly. The only noticeable features on it were the black color that it was made out of and a small red light that was in the dead center of it.
Practically holding their breaths, the four of them watched as the three creatures hovered around the wreckage of the ship that Mew destroyed. The scorpion unfurled its legs and began scanning the surroundings with its satellite tail, the blue beam scanning the buildings around it. The small orb did the same as a similar blue beam shot out of where the red light was. All the while the dragonfly creature hovered above everything, almost as if it were waiting for instructions.
When they saw the blue beam from the orb heading towards them, they all ducked down, literally holding their breaths this time. From above, they saw the beam scan the insides of the restaurant, going from one end to the other and back again. After 3 rotations, the beam disappeared.
Twilight got ready to peak her head up to see if it was safe, but was stopped by Kim. She placed her hand on her shoulder and whispered, “Not yet.”
A minute or two went by before they were convinced the creatures didn’t know of their presence. Slowly, the four of them peaked over the wall to see that the three things were now focusing on the ship, both the orb and the scorpion’s blue beams scanning what remained of it. While the latter hovered above the wreckage, the former crawled all over it, investigating the damage with its head.
After a few moments, the scorpion unfurled its wings and flew up to the dragonfly, no doubt giving it some kind of orders. The orb remained with the ship, hovering around it and inspecting it from all angles.
Then, all four of their hearts jumped as the sound of a loud cough filled the air. The second the sound was made, the orb turned in their direction, forcing the four of them to duck down. They all turned their attention to Sonic, who was slowly beginning to regain consciousness. He let out a cough again, making their hearts skip a beat again as they heard the whirring sounds of the orb approaching them.
To Be Continued...
