Week 52 King had been setting in the large empty dome for what, if he'd counted right, was a year. It was completly empty, except for some crappy building that couldn't even be considered shacks. In the center was a large tower that went from the floor to roof, linned with rails of gaurds with guns looking over there grey jumpsuited prisoners. King runns a hand over his now fuzzy head. It had been their practice to shave their heads before they threw the Majin into this dome. Through extensive 'reseach' he had found that the Runite wasn't pure enough to take all their power, they still managed to retain a small amount of it not enough to do much....alone. But he figured if enough of them could build energy and focus it they could do some damage. So far, he had recruited one indavidual to 'this' cause. His proposition to leave the domes had taken quite well, however a few had refused unless he 'proved' his word was good. A teen with firey red hair came and sat next to King before taking up a medatative pose. "How's it going?"The boy asked. "Alright....you ready?"King asked taking a medatative pose of his own. The boy nods and they set there meditating throughout the day, slowly building magical energy within their bodies. Week 156 King lay on the ground staring up at the grey lighted ceiling. He had just finished the small amount of rations they they now called 'lunch'. Routeen exercise, meditation, sleep, eating, and what little fun he managed it between kept him buisy. He sets up as the firey headed kid approches, along with a very muscular dark skinned man. This was Kings newest recruit to his meditation plan. They all three prepair for a few more hours of meditation and the eventual power it would bring. Week 200 The dome was in a looming state of disspare, one of them had tried to escape and was shot before he even got close to the door. King now sat in his 'home' It was a faux wood box with a hole as a door. laying down for a nights sleep he actualy began to wonder 'if' they where getting out. Dissmissing this though he rools over and goes to sleep. [glow=red,2,300]Week 416[/glow] This...this was the last week. The last chance if Val had stuck to the plan that they would have to be free. King and a large some of the Majin had gathered up a good amount of energy. Soon Val should have a truck of Inago pheranome near the tunnel entrance. He had made a large amount of it to lure Inago to him so he woulnd't have to hunt them down but now it was going to but them right in the governments lap. In mid thought King sees something he hadn't seen in over seven years a truck enter the dome. In it he saw its captive, a old man, pale skin, thinning grey hair, box frame glasses. Instantly images of the Magen copr. lab flashed into his head. This man, was headmage(Scientists of the magen copr. are refered to ask mages) Maticor. King slowly assempled his following and begins meditating hopping that soon Val would act. Leading the largest swarm of Inago New Eden had ever seen right into this camp. "Hamuld cover me..."King says as the large dark skinned mam stpes in front of King sheilding him from the gaurds site. Concentrating King breaks the Runite bonds of his hands but keeps them on so he wouldn't raise suspesion. To cover King hands Hamuld a small cup of food letting the guards see this transaction. "Hey..."A gaurd from the tower calls in a robotic voice. In momments a gaurd had seased the food and thrown it to the ground. "No sharring food..."He says as he beats both Hamuld and King. They all sat for their usual meditation hour.

There were several armed guards dressed in their impeccably clean uniforms, looking dapper as all defenders of the peace should. Their faces were blank as a slate, menacing to the good citizens of New Eden they looked out at. They were still, but still fidgeting enough to remind the masses that they were in fact human like everyone else. People doing their duty, a virtuous example for society. Keep the freaks locked away. They're time-bombs waiting to go off, they snap and cause chaos and suffering for everyone else. They're sins against nature. Monsters incapable of intelligent thought.
The time had passed where anyone dared say a good word about the Majin. Even those protesters who remembered the "good" ones (which didn't exist according to Mayor Faust. "Dangerous". He said to the critics. "They are time-bombs. In time they all go dangerously mad and reek havoc.") of New Eden had gone silent (obviously realizing how "terribly deceived" they had been). The Majin had been carted away, rounded up in large groups and shipped to the Containment Center. At the end of the second year the Mayor held a special ceremony, claiming the purification of New Eden. Those in the Underworld knew it wasn't the end. The raids went on, but the public didn't see them.
Locked away, far from sight, behind these very guards were the Majin. Or at least a vast majority.
A septic truck came to a slow stop at the curb. In the drivers seat was a young woman, wearing dark sunglasses and a striped baseball cap over her her short black hair. Beside her was a man with the same glasses and hat but beneath it a wild tangle of blond curls.
The woman stepped out of the truck, pacing around to the passenger side.
"No parking here lady." An officer said as he walked toward them.
"I'm so sorry sir, but there's something wrong with the truck..." She said turning to face him, with a pitiful pout. He was stunned for a moment, pausing near the hood.
"Do you need me to call a tow truck?" He asked as the other man climbed out of the passenger door.
"That would be wonderful, Gary here lost his phone."
Her partner shrugged.
The officer watched her attend to something as she bent over the hose wound near the tank. He just stared at her vacantly before going back into officer mode. "What are you doing?" He asked, pushing Gary out of the way to get to her. He grabbed her shoulder and was blasted across the sidewalk, drenched in smelly liquid.
The guards came to attention, weapons drawn and aimed.
"An accident, chill." He said raising his hands casually. "We told him there was something wrong with the truck."
She smiled. "Yeah. The hose keeps going off." She said turning to them. In an instant they were hit with the same barrage of liquid. Whatever shots they had managed to fire had miraculously missed.
Before they had a chance to get to their feet, a vibrating hum rattled the air. As it got louder the ground began to shake and the hum grew to a buzz. The guards scrambled on their knees, reaching for slick weapons.
It was already too late, the Inago were coming.

The seires of cameras outside had watched this whole event take place. Guards from the inner tower had been alerted. They quickly lept into vehicals from a underground storage center ands sped off through the door. No one on the inside had moved to persue the open door, and simply let it close. Then they made there move with the large majority of guard out to deal with whatever was happening outside..
King opened a eye.
"Guards just left...."He says.
"A lot of 'em..."Says a man with a gruffy beard and scruffy brown hair.
"Something big?"The firey haird man now asked King.
"Big is a matter of perception......idavidualy maybe not that big, but in a group the largest thing you'll ever see."King says getting up."I'ts time boys...life is outside those door and the keys just showed up..."He says as the others begin to stand.
King lets his handcuffs fall to the ground, then snapps the collor around his neck, then frees his legs. He then breaks the shackles and collars of his commrads.
"Blaze, Hamuld free everyone else......Jax, Pain you're with me we're taking out that tower."He says sending the firey haird man and Hamuld out to the rest of the masses, and derecting the brown haired man, and a wirey built woman to follow him.
The dart for the tower base where jax places a hand to the wall.
"Boom..."He says as his hand glows then detonates part of the wall allowing them to walk right in. Next Pain stepped up to the lines of guards that where assembling. Her body takes a silvery apperance as spikes grow from her arms. With flicks of her wrist she sends volly after volley at the guards impaling them to the wall and floor.
"You two got this...there's someone I have to talk to..."King saystaking a evlavator up some floors till he reached the top. Stepping up he quickly ripps apart three gaurds with shear bolts of warped and distorted space. The other four he impales with long balck tendrils from his hand. Quickly he looks over the building overveiw on a monitor and finds a room that he thought would probably be where they took the Headmage. Going back down the elavator he enters the floor, killing the gaurd nearest the door with another tendril and then entering the room by ripping the door from the wall. There he saw the once great Headmage reduced to a bruised and bloody mess, tied and handcuffed to a chair.
"HeadMage Maticor, I thought it looked like you...."
"I'm.....so proud of you all....we can die knowing that our work.......was a success...."
"HeadMage...what work...you build weapons without a perpose...."King questions.
"No....we built the Ark of life...and The Key to it's opening and the future population of the Earth once more...." Slowly and fraily the HeadMage leans up and whispers something into Kings ear.
----------------------------------
The thick metal doors to the tunnel open letting jeep after jepp of military guard pull out. Then they all stopped hearing not only to the rumbling of the Inago approching but to the bashing at the door behind them. The doors glowed red hot before bursting and flying down the tunnel, followed by the army of freed Majin. The streets cracked and burst as Inago of all sizes leap onto the street to persued their 'prey'. The doused gaurds fell back to their buddies spreadding the scent among them. The guards are pushed back between the two forces and quickly obliterated, without a second thought, then the Majin turn on the Inago.
"STOP!"King says darting down the Tunnel and placing himself between the two forces qith a leap that suprised even him.
"You're making a misstake attacking them.....The Inago arn't our enemy...they've been our ally all along.....something just triggered their self preservation function......we all know what that's like...."He says looking back at the camp.
"We where both created for the same perpose one as a vessle and the other as the eventual key..........but we'll deliberate more on that later.....right now I believe there's some more important we need to deal with......"
With his speach overwith the Inago suprisingly retreat, slowly back to their underground home. Slowly in the front of the crowd they begin chanting his name, then the whole crwod was chanting, King turns to The septic truck and casualy walks over.
"Rally the troops...and meat us in front of the Capitol Building...I think its time we stur this stagnent monarchy a little...."He pauses a few second."Oh...and I love what you've done with your hair..."He says smiling before walking back to one of the military jeeps.
"Who says it's time we give our freind dear mayor Faust....a little visit..."This was followed by a cheer as men and women packed into the jeeps and rode off.
A half hours later a mob of Majin had the police forced at bay around the capitol building. Two men drag out Mayor Faust and toss him to the ground at King feet.
"I would say how humble you look but that would require that I admit you have humility......and to have humility you must be humain, and to be humanin you must have the socialy defined traits of a human am I right Mayor Faust...."King says standing before him in his typical museum pose."But the sad fact is....we're more human than you'll even be.....we where breed from the best of the best, the best minds, the best physical abilities...all of which where human, and even thought this mob behind me wants to rip you apart I'm not going to let them...because if I did that...then I'd loose a prime barganing chip...."
Faust stands and looks King dead in the eye.
"What do you want?...."
"Oh...it's not what I want.....It's what WE want.....we want freedom, we want equality, and lifes of our own.....wether we where feared, or praised, looked apon as gods, or down apon as scum... the fact is we where never anyones equal while within these walls...."
"Within these walls what are you talki..."Was all Faust managed before King backhanded him.
"It's rude to interupt now shut the f**k up and let your betters speak...."King says sternly. "Here's what's going to happen to make sure these people don't rip you limb from limb in the most gruesome fashion I'v ever heard descibed.....I along with all these other people are leaving...along with a few more freinds of mine....."He streches and hand out, long tendrils puch through the crowd thill they reach the police line where they grab a officer and pull him to Kings side. King dissarms him and tossed him to the ground. Cocking and making sure the weapons was loaded King levels the barrel at Fausts head, he kickes hin in the side of the knee, spins around and blind-sides him woth the stock of the gun sending Faust spraulling to the ground, where King again levels the barrel at him. This is the momment where tesions met there high points. Police and military officers where waiting to see what would happen, the mob of Angry Majin watched hopping he'd pull the trigger, King attempted to reasong this whole situation out in his mind, Faust...nearly crapped his pants...

People began to stir at the back of the crowd. The row of police had formed a barrier between the crowd of Majin and the approaching line. Only the sound of their collective footfalls indicated their approach. There must have been hundreds. They didn't look like solders, more like a band of misfits. Many were carrying pieces of pipe or baseball bats, many others had firearms of all shapes and sizes. They weren't holding them in a particularly menacing way, lamely at their sides in a tired fashion. The rag tag bunch of troops moved with an uncanny sense of uniformity. Val strode slowly up to the police, holding up her hands.
"Excuse me, my friends and I need to get through." She smiled vaguely.
The police wavered but did not move, all of them unsure of what to do. They eyed the mob in front of them and then the one behind them.
"You cannot pass."
"I'm asking nicely, you can't win here." She said as patiently as she could.
The officer in front of her held up his gun, a few followed suit. The rest just stared like deers caught in a headlight.
She sighed holding out her hand. The man closest to her was frozen to a block of ice. She prodded him gently with her finger and he shattered on the ground. The two men nearest charged her and both were violently electrocuted, reduced to motionless heaps. After that the rest of the officers backed up to make room for all the people she had brought as she paced forward, followed closely by her group. As they integrated themselves through the spectators Val disappeared.
-
"This is just too pathetic. I would have expected more of a fight from someone with so much hate." She said painfully, looking down at Mayor Faust. No one had noticed when she got there but Val calmly stood next to King. "You abuse your power to take what you want and get rid of what you don't and kill the people who know your wrong. You've ruined peoples lives and drowned the public in lies. And you still cannot see who the real monster is."
She glared at him, eyes harsh with bitter anger as her hands clenched into fists. Then she turned away disgusted.
"They're all here." She said, this time to King. "They're tired of all the things they've seen. The violence they've been part off. The Majin haven't been the only 'impurities' he's tried to get rid of. Even the ones who's only crime was being homeless and poor. We protected as many lives as we could."
"All of them, all of us, just want a new life." She placed a hand on his shoulder. "To leave this place behind."

"You hear that Faust...that's called the voice of the people........they want to leave, and as a leader I'm obligated to at least hear them out on that fact. I've already promised them they' leave this place, and again as a leader my obligation is to deliver on my promise which by the way is in all of my people intrests...."He says shouting the last part to the crowd, which went balistic with cheers.
King lowers the gun."But I can't kill you....then you would never learn your lesson having been bested by a better doesn't gain you anything....you only get smarter by playing a smarter opponent.....the same is true from me I thought you'd be at least some kind of a challenge but it turns out you where just a man with a little power and a lot of money.......so you can get up off the ground....I'm not going to kill you...."
King lowers the gun and turns away wrapping a arm around Val, Dropping the gun he releases Val and looks at the armed crowd.
"Pack up what belonging you have if any....we leave this city in an hour...."He says spawning another cheer before the crowds dissperse back into the city but staying in large groups from safety reasons.
"Jax, Hamulds do you have families homes?"King asks because neither of the men left their stations behind Faust.
"None of you have homes anymore........I sold themall back to the city for a economic boost..."Faust laughs, his laughing stops and teeth fly as King boots him in the jaw, coughing up blood Faust looks at them again.
King smiles suddenly, this wasn't his normal insane smile, this was a immonent doom aproches smile."You know Faust....that rattle of you skull against me shoe reminded me of another group you called monsters....."With a nodd of his head Jax and Hamuld drag Faust over to a manhole, a place no one went unless acompanied by police because it provided a perfect home fo Inago to breed.
King cuts Faust with one of the tendrils and lets blood drop into the sewwers. It didn't take long, with recent actions they where already in a upraor, but remained silent underneat the streets and city. As a green lizard like head and large elongated, clawed fingers and take hold of Faust Hamuld and Jax let him go and down he went...into the sewers. They sat there listening to the crunching and breaking as the Inago devoured him.
King ushers Jax and Val over to one side.
"Well Valkyrie...I have one last proposition for you even bigger than us leaving the city............"King gets down on his knee."Will you Marry me?"He asks
Jax leans back and motions for Hamuld to come closer, whispering something in his ear Jax watches Hamuld go grab a cop and bring him over to join the group.

For a moment she was to shocked to speak. "James..." Her blue eyes shimmered as she blinked back the tears. "I could think of nothing that would make me happier."
She pulled him to his feet and kissed him with surprising passion, and force since she nearly knocked them both to the ground. "Yes." She gasped breathless, breaking out in a beautiful smile.
"What no ring?" She joked a little lightheaded, keeping her arms tight around him.

"Jax you heard the woman....."King says with a smile.
"Heavenly father we are gathered here today to bind these two soulds in hole matramony..."Jax begins, and finishes with."And I'd say kiss the bride but...."He opens his eyes to see King was kissing Valkyrie yet again.
"And now for the closing certain on our performance!"He says breaking away from her with a smile and turning to the police who had bee suprisingly quiet and well behanved through this entire scene.
"Does anyone here....wish to acompany us to the outside world."He shouts to them all. There was a pause before most of them turned to leave depressed and solumn, while a few actualy stepped up to join him.
"Good...I guess......now for those of you joining please completly dissarm yourself......aside from meaningless things like pocket knifes, bottle openers and such..."At this all the police that had stayed dropped their weapons, handguns, larger firearms, combat knifes, they even pull off their bulletproof armor down to their everyday clothing.
"Thats a good spirit there boys and girls...."Round up your familes and belongings if you have any and then meet us back here we're leaving through that gate....."He says pointing a the blank border wall of the dome where conveniantly a street ended at.
"Jax, Hamuld tear down that wall...."King says nodding towards them, they head off towards the wall, the polce head back home, and King heads back over to Val.
"You know I can see this working out well....kinda like little house of the feild...or whatever that book was......"He says smiling then wrapping a arm around her.

She smiled, rolling her eyes as she leaned against his shoulder. "I missed you."
For a moment she actually pictured it. The lives they were setting off to make together. She saw him standing in front of a small house, picturesque as any in a fairy tale. The tall grass around it waved in the wind and wildflowers were beginning to bloom their simple colors together breathtaking. He smiled at her holding out a hand and behind him, inside the house she could hear it. Little feet.
She gasped a little surprised, snapping herself out of the daydream. "It doesn't have to be a field you know, anywhere with you is fine."
"Because I can see it working out perfectly." She said, her smile returning. Looking up she gazed out at the few groups who had started returning. Then over to the wall as it began to crumble. "I'm ready to go."

"It seems like we're not the only ones..."King says as he spots trucks and other vehicals arriving filled with people and supplies.
"Now...Please leave all firearms behind.....we're starting a fresh life...lets not start it out on the wrong foot because we shot the other one...."He says and the crowd groans as pistol, rifles, shotguns, ands a various assortment of other weapons where thrown to the ground. And with that they meet Jax and Hamuld at the broken through gate and then they proceed to head down a tunnel and then ot a large heavily sealed door.
"I'ts blocked King...."Jax says.
"Yess I can see that..."He trails off hearing a roar from behind the caravane of vehicles. It was a dinosaur sized Inago weaving its way past the trucks and to the door where it began to push, smaller Inago where helping spraying a acidic solution around its edges eating holes in it, other where diging large chuncks from the door. The door gave way and Inago, majin and Man alike poured out to greet a new world.
It was nothing like they'd pictured, flat barren, gray and blueish green with alge that furnished the oxygen their where breathing, the sky was painted shades of gray with thick clouds, small spots of red burned through the clouds everynow and again.
"I thought you said this was gonna be a new life a good one...."A voice shouts.
King raises a hand watching the Inago sniff the air and look around and then back to the Majin and humans. King steps off the truck which he was riding on and steps up to the largest of the Inago being careful of the smaller ones that where swarming around him.
"So what is it.....this Ark Maticor talked about....are you it....because I know we're the key somehow..."The Inago lowers its head to look King over.
"What is it....I know our blod has something to do....with.....it......but how much....I know you can't kill us....we're suposed to be the population of the new Earth..."King states, the Large Inago snorts as if in a response.
King spreads his arms wide as if to make a point.
"Well we're here and we're not turning back......your move now..."
In the blink of and eye the Inago's jaws lock around his left arm from the shoulder down, tiwsting they hear it pop out of socket, and then they hear King shout in pain, with another twist the arm comes off and the Inago devours it. Its eyes glaze over blue and then it collaspases to the ground, boils growing all over its body they burst releasing spores into the air, in response everyone covered their mouth and lets them get carried up into the sky and spread all over. The large Inago turns into goo and spreads across the ground causes and see of grass to begin to grow from one horizon to the other.
"Rapid Evolution is a trait we gave the Inago to allow them to fill all the niches required to sustain a ecosystem..."The Headmages wrods rang in Kings head.
In responce to the largest fall the smaller onces begin to transform into pure clouds of spores to be carried off by the winds, while in the distance they see the first trees and shurbberies appeare and begin to populate.
King held his still bleeding shoulder then collapses. He wakes a few hours later, on the road and with a badnages shoulder, and to familiar faces.

They had been moving for a while. Occasionally she glanced up at the landscape but she always turned back to gaze at him. Each time he had been motionless. The scenery had lost its brilliance for her. For all she knew they could have been driving through the old desolate wasteland. She twisted a finger absently through her hair.
She glanced over her shoulder again. The dome was a mere speck in the distance, still visible on the horizon. As far as she could tell they had been heading due East.
Her observation was cut short as something else caught her attention.
"James! Are you awake?" She asked seeing he had started to stir. She knelled at his side, reaching out to touch his face. "Are you in pain?" Her own voice was strained as she tried her best not to look as panicked as she felt.

"Suprisingly...yes...I'm in lot of pain acutaly...."He says smiling.
The trucks strained as it wobbled to one side.
"We've got some problems up here..."The driver says seeing trucks in front of him start swerning as if they where being pushed by something. There trucke eventault turns completly sideways. The metal body ebbed and flowed with a invisable current.
"What the hell was that?"The drive says poking his head out seeing the caravane pushed and turned in odd directions, like washed up drift wood.
The truth of it was, New Eden had consumed so much of its metals and minerals beneath the city that it had been sheilded from the moving feilds of magnetic feilds that flowed acrost the whole planet.
They get the truck started again and keep going trying to their best to stay in a coherant path as they traveled. Till off in the distance they saw something, a large what looked like circle of mountains.
"Would you look at that..."Their driver says stopping with all the other, King with Vals help lifts himself to where he could see.
"Thats a pretty odd rock formations..."Jax says from the very back of the truck.
"That's cause it's not natural...look at its sides.....it looks like its been pushed out of the ground with a lot of force..........that's a impact crater.....which means there a inside to it..."
"You can't mean?"jax begins.
"Yup...we're going in think of it.....Meteors deposit loads of minerals and sometimes ice that forms into lakes....so there we'll have water, and resources...."
In a few hours they had crost a vast strech of barren land, since the grass had ended aproptly behind them some miles ago, and where now stareing at a rock wal, which King had men diggin into as he sat there a watched, and while most of the other sat up some kind of temperary dwelling.

She wandered through the mass of emigrants, helping to set up the massive tents. They were open aired and able to fit many at once.
They regarded her with curiosity, which some majin tried to hide and others didn't. Val was poised, encouraging those who hovered unsure behind her to help with the tents instead. They were a little surprised but followed her with eager eyes and lots of questions which oddly enough seemed to help calm her frayed nerves.
Soon people gathered together near the center of this encampment starting to dig small pits for cooking and heat. Fires were being started as the sky began to fade, the smell of food seemed to bring their elation to a new high. It was funny how such a natural smell of smoke and wood seemed so inviting, such a far cry from the advanced compact ovens and luxurious chrome kitchens. It was much better. People were singing and laughing, joking and gossiping and. It was something about the closeness of people with a shared cause that made their weariness from travel ebbing away.
"It'll be getting dark soon." She said, wandering over to sit next to him. "As much as I'd love to keep you to myself they're all wondering where you are." She said her eyes dancing happily with the light cast from the flames.

King takes his hands off his chin.
"Right....right...."he says looking over the rock wall again, hearing the men shout out order to each other, only the strongest of the Majin where using there powers like diging equipment, melting rick, scrapping rock, chizeling into rock, and then moving it away, this was mainly the part for the normal humans but a few of the simply physicaly strong Majin where helping as well.
"They wouldn't let me help with the digging so I just thought I'd at least supervize....I'm just afraid they'll hit water and flood us out..."
As he says this they do they open a crack in the wall and are greated by a gush of water.
"Hey plug that up...we don't want to waste any of this water...."Even after saying this it took a few minute for men to rushe to dig large lined pits in the ground, and gather containers....and drink some of it of course. He sighs and stands.
"Of course what kind of patriarch would I be if I sat around all....evening...maybe...I don't know...the sun hasn't been out all day...."He says laying his good, right arm acrost her shoulder and walking back over to the fiar to be greeted by muffled and low cheers.
"Thanks..."he says simply taking a seat by the fire and grabbing a tin cup of....brown liquid, which he soon found out to be tea.
Most of the night went by in a blur, laughing, joking, singing, and dancing. For a few more minutes he again watched over the digging. When they where almost done he walks up to them cup in hand and says.
"Here watch this...."He then clenches his cup rim in his teeth and sends a blast of distorted space directly at the wall busting through to the other side. Before them lay falt knee high water.
"Get some sleep guys.....We'll let everyone else get settled in tomorrow morning no point in waking them now."He says taking the cup again in his hand and alking back to their tent he plops himself down on a rolled out blanket by Val and snuggles in for a nights sleep.

She shifted in her sleep slightly, mumbling something as she curled into his side.
The night was cool as peace descended on their camp.
-
She woke up in the small hours of the morning but didn't make any indication of moving from her warm spot. There were things to be done but she couldn't bring herself to get up and do them. She was too comfortable next to him.
After a while light made a full appearance, brightening up the sky. She sat up to watch the clouds go from deep gray to white. A handful of people were beginning to stir and she caught glimpses of a few who were already walking around. She shook King's side.
"Time to start packing up." She whispered, shaking him again. "Wake up." She leaned down to kiss him on the cheek before standing and stretching.
Looking around she wondered how to accomplish the task of waking all these people. She turned spotting a group of younger boys, not much older than 10 playing and painting their faces with soot by the cooking site. She got an idea.
At first they thought they were in trouble as she walked up to them. Quickly they tried to hide the evidence of their game.
"Don't worry men your not in trouble. In fact I have an interesting proposition for you..."
She knelled down to their height murmuring her plan to them.
They were more than delighted.
Later there was resounding banging and crashing. The camp was awakened to the loud clanging of pots and pans and made up songs as the boys ran through the camp. Needless to say everyone was jarred awake with sleepy grumbles and grouchiness. Slowly the mood began to shift to a faint buzz of excitement.
"First off we need to pack up our belongings, then the tents. I need a some volunteers to hand out the breakfast rations." She shouted pacing between the tent rows. "Meet me back at the fire site if you want to do that. Otherwise everyone needs to get packing, we have a new day to get ready for."

King steches and then stumbles getting used to only having one arm was going to be a chore. He walks up to here and kiss here on the cheek.
"Come on we broke completly through the wall last night...."He says pulling he over to the dig spot. Before them both was a pond of water that reflected the sky. Jax and Hamuld where already there argueing wether the locations was a Moor or a Marsh.
"I'ts like staring into the ether...."He says watching vibrant colors appeare in the water as sertain molecules became polerized by the oncoming magnetic wave. They hear the trucks shift, this one must have been big.
"Oh King your awake..."Jax says ruching over to then, Hamuld following behind him at a much slower pace. "We've got a bit of a problem..."He says sowing them over to the lined pits they'd dug to hold water, most of them where empty. Jax pulls back the lineing and exposes the engorged eather, brown and mushy.
"That's not dirt..."King says kneeling."He scoops a handfull off the side and runs it through his finger, it was hard, sticky, and smelled more than a little funny."
"It's clay..."He says looking from the pits back into their new home.
"Well what do you want us to do...that's a few months water gone...."Jax asks.
"We where gonna need to use it anyway...."King says running it through his hands again.
"Adobe..."Hamuld says.
"Right...I suppose you know how to make it?"King asks Hamuld who nods.
"Good then...start diggin this clay laying out tarps for rolling and forming into bricks, we'll also need a big fire to cook them in....us as many men as you need...."King says as he turns away."Oh..and since the ground here is composed of mostly clay...that makes this place a moor."
"Ha told ya..."Jax says jabbing hamuld in the side, hamuld simply looks down at jax ending his amuzment.
"We're not going to be able to keep these vehicals either...whatevers pushing them isn't goinging to let them stay on four wheels forever....canabalize them and use whatever we can as whatever we need....anything else....save it...."He says to Val but directs to Pain and the Firey headed man(Blaze) nodding them off towards the trucks.
"We'll also need to push that watter out of there somehow..."He says actualy taking a momment to stop a rest. The white of the clouds still blanketed the sky and showed again no signs of clearing. He says setting by the camp fire and watching the small children Jax and Hamuld had recruited to stomp the clay and roll it in tarps, the some other men began to start a huge fire in a pit, other men where makeing a grate of some sort to lay the bricks on while cooking. Pain and Blaze where cannabalizing the vehicals separating each peice into its indavidual catagory. Everyone else was simply packing their belongsing, tents dishes, and what nots up to move.
For a momment he was comtemplating saying something, but not wanting to break the low hum on the others. Then he spots the piles of dissasembled vehicals moving, a megnetic wave moving them sharply one way and then pulling them back. He got a idea suddenly and rushes to the pile of metal rummaging through them, pulling out flat peice of metal he bends up a corner, ripps a long section of his camp uniform off and ties it to the sheet of metal and walks back over to Val sitting down again. He cast the peice of metal to the ground and fines it wouldn't touch the Earth, it wobbles attempting balance then straitened out bobbing up and down....like cork in water.
"So thaaaat's what it is......"He says playing with the peice of metal pulling it acrost the air to and frow watching it bob back and forth."Waves of magnetism.....we're living...in a magnetic ocean..........wince we're not going to be able to use the trucks....maybe something a little lighter...would float.......I mean this peice of metals only floating at this height because of me holding the string....of we could....."
He lets go of the cloth letting the metal float up to somewhere btween six and seven feet before becoming neutraly bouyant. He held his hand to the side of his head.
"Ah damn.....head ache....."He says through gritted teeth, before throwing his head back and sighing."Ok and now I'm good...."
He stands."Ok....so I'm going to go take Blaze and Pain and try and see what I can do with the extra metal...you...go...and do whatever it was you where gonna do this morning before I bothered you...."He says jumping trying to reach the strnded metal peice in the air.
