His tears blend with the corns of the sand, and his feet dug into the dunes of the desert at every step.
"Gate... How could he be gone... He's immortal... Like me... He's a Dun... Like me...", Malcom fell to his knees, tired, worn, looking up at the starfilled skies.
"HOW CAN YOU BE GONE!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME!? WHAT IS THE PURPOSE?!" Malcom screamed at the skies, spreading his arms and locking his fists, wasting all air in his chest in his yell of desperation for truth.
A soft, yet conserned voice behind him.
"Cham.. What's happened? Why are you way out here?" Malcom took a deep breath and turned his head to look, still kneeling. It was Jake, Jake Russi from 'Voice of The People', a growing friend. "Jake... They took him away... Somehow..." "Took who away Cham?" Jake sat down carefully besides Malcom, but he didn't answer, fainted from exhaustion, heat, and depression, he falls onto Jake..
Someplace else, West Athens, Leopus' appartment.
"Can you ..attatch it..? Cer'?" Zack was standing in the door to her bedroom, Cer' was examining Leopus' jaw and head, with help from the lights of Scott's robot 'Dr Data'. "I...Think so..I'm no professional doctor..But..Falsing the profession, I might just be able to bandage it together..Her head and jaw..." He proceeded as told, Scott held Leopus' jaw up to her head, while Cer' carefully bandaged it all together. Her stare was distant, misty and dead, the skin around her eyes were black and blue, the rest of her body was covered in blood from the missing jaw.

The three spooks, "I have something to do with wha....oh..my.." MithNess stared at Leopus. Cer' quickly turned and blocked his path of vision. "Mith, you better go out." "But I'm here to help Leo.." Mith flew through the appartment to the far wall. Zack's fists was burning with a bright red flame. "You stay away from her! You better start running, because I'll be hunting you down when our Lord isn't watching..." MithNess rubbed his burnt chest. "But I..." MithNess exclaimed. "GO!" Cer' pointed at the door fiercly and stared angry at MithNess. MithNess nodded and slowly walked out the door of Leopus' appartment...
"Damned alien..." The three watched him go, Leopus was laid in the bed all patched up, staring at the ceiling of her bedroom...
