Throughout the night Jack Ramse slept with one eye open. Not just for the next unexpected beast to try and eat him either. His two newfound associates were still too new to him to fully trust. It was bad enough trying to rest without the sprite named O’tah alias “Iota” clinging to his covered manhood. He needed to break her habit before it got out of hand. His hesitance to scold her lie in the fact that in his eyes the tiny woman went nuclear and obliterated a massive aquatic dinosaur right before his eyes. Pissing her off might not be the smart thing to do.
The leprechaun named Lowball was devious, Jack could tell. He worried that the runt might steal his pack and run. Jack had too much in that pack that he needed to survive. Still, he knew he could catch up with the runt. Finally, Jack’s nerves settled and he drifted off.
As the sun rose Jack became aware of the fact when he felt Iota stirring over his crotch. The buzzing of her wings jolted him awake. To his surprise Lowball was up cooking another steak carved from the beheaded Plesiosaur.
“Breakfast, Laddy?” He hissed with almost a glint of respect. Stretching as he stood up Jack gazed out over the water.
“My belly is still full. Thanks for offering.”
“Me tummy’s n’er too full. Place like we live in now, ye eat when ye can. Food be hard to come by.”
“Yeah? Out in the desert where I came from maybe. Looking around us here, I see lots of prey to eat. Birds. Lizards. Fish. I’m still puzzled as to why there is no animal life much out there where I came from. Lizards are pretty much it. Why no birds flying? There was hardly any insects until I got near the coast. Then, this place comes alive.”
Iota buzzed in front of him pointing at her dragonfly like wings, as if to question her roots. She was amusing as all get out.
“I don’t classify you as an insect.” Jack chuckled! “I need to keep moving until I find a city. I know you fear them, but if you want to join me you are welcome to.” Jack pulled his black shirt on over his head then the chainmail secondary for protection. He reserved his life fiber suit for future use. Too clingy bothered him.
Lowball chewed at his food loudly as he spoke with his mouth full. “ I say ye be mad. Nay be but death out there”
“Maybe. But, there are people who are counting on me.”
“People ye say.” Lowball squinted!
“Yeah! When we crashed here there were seven survivors. Well, eight, if you count Maddy. She returned from the dead. She is actually pretty healthy nowadays. Back and forth between ghost and her living body. No, not a zombie.”
The leprechaun’s eyes bulged and he stopped chewing, jaw dropping he turned pale. “Dead returnin’?”
“Long story, but yes. Like I said yesterday I’m surprised Iota here hasn’t told you. She buzzed the ship we live in under a month ago.”
“Did she now?” He narrowed his eyes at O’tah. The sprite threw her arms wide and offered a shy grin. She had evidently forgotten to mention it. But, again she wasn’t much for conversation.
“Wait! If you two are so tight why didn’t you tell Lowball about it?” Jack squinted at the sprite for answers. With an echoing huff she folded her arms then buzzed backwards to avoid the confrontation.
Before Jack could figure out his next move he heard a crackle coming from his back pack. “You out there, Jack?” A voice of recognition! He was unprepared for contact. He had whispered to James Ian Pryce to try and keep Ruby from checking on him too soon. If he needed them he would call them. As hard as it was to admit his unfortunate curse led him to believe he needed to sever ties. Just hearing her voice Jack paused to grimace at his options. Perhaps it was smart to at least let her know he was alive and well.
Jack crouched down and pulled out a round communicator from his pack specifically designed by young genius James Ian Pryce. He had multiple options to do this with, either accessing Fenway his drone companion or through his translator collar. He chose to show off a bit in front of his new friends. He placed it on the ground and clicked a tiny switch watching metallic legs extend for ground support. A small disk opening up captured the sunlight for increased power and imaging. A thin beam of light shot straight up in front of the startled couple, refracting outward into an image. In front of them stood a life sized hologram of one incredibly beautiful redhead.
“Morning, Ruby. I’m still alive. I reached a massive inland sea about 200 miles out. You might tell Animahni to let Oophalah know. Maybe he can find his way out here through a cave system. There is plenty of fresh air where he and his hybrid crew can move about in the sunlight.”
“I’ll do that when I see her.”
Lowball who had stepped back arming himself with his axe circled the hologram. He was leery of the woman before him.
“This be the dead Lass ye mentioned?” The runt growled!
“No! Calm down. She’s a friend. This is Ruby. Ruby this is Lowball.” He introduced the stalking man in a Conquistador’s helmet. Ruby’s image reacted as if right there in person. “You made a new friend? It’s a pleasure to meet you, Lowball.”
The leprechaun merely backed away and eyed the situation with distrust. In his place returned Iota buzzing around the hologram before hovering in front of Ruby’s belly. With a strange behavior Iota tried to rub Ruby’s stomach amazed that her tiny hand slipped through the body before her.
“Another friend?” Ruby asked!
“Yeah. Her name is Iota. We’ve met before, kind of. I never mentioned it because I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. She approached our ship one night when everyone was asleep. Come to think of it that was the night you and I-- yeah, that night.”
“Why does she keep rubbing my belly?” Ruby looked stressed.
“Who knows. Probably just amazed by the holographic image.” Of course he had his suspicions. He was just waiting for Ruby to break the news. She knew as well but wanted to surprise Jack. If that were possible.
Finally, She smirked! “We both know why, Jack. Even from there she senses I’m pregnant. James ran a sonogram. We found an ultrasound machine in a cargo container. Surprisingly, it worked.” She then hesitated! “There’s more Jack.”
“Let me guess the baby looks like a Weaver bug.”
“Not at all. James refers to it as an energy fetus. It’s glowing red hot within me. I went for a morning workout and over did it. I’m superhuman now too. Or, at least the fetus had made me that way. Without realizing I was doing it I destroyed my cargo gym. Walls came flying down. My body was super heated and vibrating. Every step I took it felt like my body was energizing. I scared everyone. I feel fine now. It dissipated. James thinks young Noble was defending me by fighting back against my sandbag.”
Jack shooed Iota away from toying with the hologram. “If that was a bug zapper you would be toast.” He then sighed at Ruby’s revelations. “Keep me posted.”
“I will, Jack. We all miss you. Not just me.”
“Same here. Just hold the fort down until I can figure out how to get rid of ... you know.”
He decided to change the subject because he just knew mentioning the word curse would freak out Lowball. Finally, he pointed toward the inland sea. Ruby’s attention turned to view the water.
“It’s beautiful. Maybe we should all head in that direction.” Ruby smiled! “Paradise!”
“No. You know you can’t do that, Ruby. It’s safer where you are. The Ganthorian Hilton has everything the group needs.”
“I know Jack. I’m hearing you. I just ... need you.” Sensing emotion Iota hovered in front of Ruby and clenched her fists as if jealous.
“We’ve been though this Ruby.” Jack carefully swept Iota aside with a point at her to behave. “You know my problem. Ixnay on the problemay. I needed this hike to clear my head. You know I’m not used to being cooped up so much. Besides, I want to know what that Weaver bug’s done to my system.”
“The farther away you get the harder this is on me Jack. I’m sorry.”
“It’s only been a day and a half Ruby. I’m going out another hundred miles to see what’s around this coast line. I already encountered a Plesiosaur. Iota took it out.”
“The little one? Littler one. How?” Ruby looked distracted suddenly! “James wants to say hi.”
Her hologram was replaced by that of young James Ian Pryce who immediately grew shocked by the new faces and his report. He knew that Jack needed space but even he had to let the Colonel know his thoughts.
“Jack? I have some things to tell you. Bad things.” The boy sulked, prepared to confess the truth of their crash landing in Pangaea. His history. Before he could do any damage Ruby clamped a hand over his mouth and whispered into his ear. James frowned over it but listened to Ruby. He would not inform Jack today. Ruby felt it was better not to burden him further. She then pointed behind her. As a result James rotated in step to see nature at its best.
“Wow! That’s a lot of water.”
Lowball jumped toward the hologram preparing to slash at James with his axe, Jack without much effort grabbed the upper part of the hilt and literally lifted Lowball off the ground.
“Dark magics.” Lowball coughed while glaring at Jack.
“Not magic. I said calm down. They are not here to hurt you. Friends, Lowball. I’ll let you down but behave.”
As he lowered the runt, Iota buzzed around James pointing at his head. Her hands then pointing between he and Ruby, as if trying to connect the dots.
“Friends Iota. Only friends.” Her brow grew grim as Jack ignored her thoughts. It frustrated her. “Yes, James is smart.”
“Who is that?” James looked with amazement.
“Iota. She’s a telepath. Empath, I think. More than that really. She’s like a living nuclear reactor without the radiation. Maybe I should break out a Geiger Counter.”
“Whoa! Not to bring up comics again but she’s the Wasp from the Avengers. With a touch of Phoenix from the X-Men.”
“Whatever!” Jack knew it was more of the boys comic book fantasies. “She’s friendly and that is all that matters.”
“Is that a Garden Gnome?” James chuckled!
“I’m thinking dwarf. He says leprechaun. I say one and the same.”
Lowball became smug in his proud stance. “Aye! Proud be I, to be a leprechaun.”
Still the runt circled growling. He did not trust these spirits. The second Jack’s focus abandoned his the leprechaun struck. For all the good a lightning slash downward with his battle axe did. Jack seized the weapon and pulled it from his grasp. Lowball snarled helplessly as Jack hurled the axe toward the water some sixty yards away, Lowball watching it sink below the waves.
“I warned you to behave. Now go fetch.”
Jack directed Lowball away as Iota busted up laughing and pointing at the runt. That only pissed off Lowball even more. Charging away he reached the incoming tide and stopped cold, turning with a depressed look.
“I canae swim.”
“Pathetic!” Jack rolled his eyes. “Fenway? Fetch the axe.”
The grapefruit sized drone spirited away, zipping by Lowball who ducked to avoid impact. Moving out over the water the drone targeted the axe beneath the saltwater and locked onto it with a gravity beam. The axe rose from the water for Lowball to see, leading to a smile. Jumping for joy the runt reached out for it. Instead of passing it off to the runt Fenway brought it back to Jack, dropping it at his feet. Jack then stepped on the hilt to keep it firmly in the sand. Lowball grumbling, kicked sand having to walk back empty handed.
“As I told Ruby, my plan is to walk around the coastline to see what else is out here. You keep on working on that ship. If I find a good location maybe we can move that crate at least this far. Here would be much better living conditions than the desert. That might satisfy Ruby wanting a beach front property.” He then held a hand up for Ruby to note. “I know I said stay put. But if the ship can move that’s different. There is not much around to build any shelters.”
“Someday maybe. I don’t know if I can ever generate enough power to... “ James stopped cold in thought. First studying Iota and recalling what Jack had told him about her energy levels. Then another look toward Ruby. Even her levels might help. Then another thought. Cameron Scott had juiced up his 71 Charger with living light. There were three sound options he had not considered before now.
“You, okay?” Jack looked worried by the boys reaction.
“Yep. The insect girl. You said she was a living nuclear reactor. I wonder if she has enough juice to jumpstart these engines?” He refrained from mentioning the other two possibilities. He would think on those more first. No use getting everyone’s hopes up.
“Nice theory.” Jack called Iota over to him. “Can you help us?” She shrugged as if uncertain.
“If she’s willing to try we can. For now let me scout ahead and see what might be available to us. Gaicazar gave me a map. There’s a few interesting targets on it I want to see for myself.”
“Cool.” James nodded!
“Let me get moving. I’ll be in touch.” He waved at James and saluted Ruby looking over his shoulder. He then set out to roll his sleeping bag up, attaching it to his pack. The hologram faded causing Lowball to growl as Jack picked the device up to stash it away.
“Seriously! They are not ghosts or demons. This is only a communication device. I just get to see who it is I’m talking to. They mean no harm to any of us.” He lured his pack skyward and planted it on his back, buckling it up to his shoulders and waist. Then procuring his sword Soultaker in its sheath and his sniper rifle.
“Are you two coming along or are we parting ways? I hope you join me. I really could use the company.” He also secretly wanted to keep Iota on a leash to secure her powers later on should he be able to go home to his friends. If possible! He was just grateful that his curse had not warded these two away. Obviously magic was involved or they would react to his spell of distance to all whom he cared about.
Iota buzzed around his head and nodded gleefully that she was in. Lowball scowled retrieving his axe and kissing its blade. Which resulted in spitting sand from his mouth.
“Where the lass goes, Lowball goes.”
“Glad to hear it. Pack up. Let’s get moving.”
A simple gathering of belongings and food, the band headed south around the rim of the lake. By mid day they had managed twenty miles. Lowball at least was slowing Jack down. He felt Iota might be speedy enough to keep up should he run, yet, Jack took his new friend into account and held back. It did dawn on him that he could have Fenway airlift the runt and really get his goat. For the moment he chose to have sympathy.
Stopping to rest along a hillside Jack refreshed his face with lake water. Saltwater tasted horrible. Lowball used his helmet to gather water to drink and drown his body to cool down. Even Jack had to wince at how he could drink the water. A strong constitution for certain.
