Lexx, Zeta and Fly stood next to a wooden fence in a quiet neighborhood. It was early morning, but most of the people who lived here had already left for work, school or were off doing their own errands. It was quiet. “We have to be quick.” Lexx glanced around the fence, “We don’t need [...]
“Get it!” Lexx was quick to reach into his pocket and bring out the modifier dice. He threw them as Zeta and Fly darted forward. It only took seconds for the modifications to take affect, a soft glow enveloping Fly and Zeta. The basset hound simply laid there, lazily wagging his tail, staring at the [...]
What followed, was a wild chase as Zeta ran after the dog while Fly floated above for a few minutes. Zeta was getting angry that he couldn’t even touch the dice. Even his flames couldn’t harm it. Five minutes passed, ten,… fifteen. Zeta panted wearily. He’d put everything into trying to pounce the dog and [...]
Lexx rubbed his forehead and called out instructions to Fly, “Try using forceshields. Nothing else is going to work, but they might, if you can get him caught in one of them!” Fly jumped and took back to the air, hovering over the dog. He looked up curiously, wondering what the flying squirrel was up [...]
Energy laughed and sat up, ‘phasing’ from one spot to another, just out of reach of the floating bubbles. They weren’t really much of a threat unless he hit one, then they would expand immediately and envelope him. “Stop being so difficult!” Fly made a hissing sound, his tail swishing back wildly as he tried [...]
“Argh!” Fly was a very quick one to get frustrated, having the high-strung nature of a squirrel deeply ingrained in his makeup. He was impatient to begin with and the dog egging him on was not helping. Zeta was lying in the grass nearby, pulling up clumps of dirt and vegetation in aggravation and tossing [...]
Day 15, Evening Evening found Lexx carefully walking through grass that went up to his waist. There were trees all around him with heavily laden branches. They creaked in the wind under a quickly darkening sky. All around him crickets chirped in the grass. Cicadas sang their eerie repetitive love songs above him,… and every [...]
Energy barked up the tree and let out a long low howl. Sil rustled in the branches, hurriedly making his way down to the ground. Leaves and bits of bark flew behind him in his urgency. Energy backed up a few steps, his eyes on the tree. The raccoon was down like a flash, snarling. [...]
The night exploded in a brilliant bluish white light. Lexx shielded his eyes momentarily, then picked up his feet to get there faster. He was still a good distance away. Energy attacked Sil head on. The raccoon was momentarily blinded by the flash of light caused by Energy’s form pretty much disintegrating into that of [...]
Lexx quickly tagged the raccoon, wanting to get this capture completed as quickly as possible. Done. Yet another dice now and a step closer to the end. If only he could rush all the way and get all the dice captured as soon as possible. The only problem was that the dice would get exponentially more powerful [...]
