The Next Morning

Date: 7/29/2302 7:00am

The sun had barely risen at this time and it was coming out from the road the opposite of where we were coming from. It was peaceful besides when we had to wake up at midnight because some mutants in the area found us.

We moved the dead bodies of mutants from our resting spot. Besides Isra. The mutants had pretty heavy bodies. After that happened I had stored the mutant's blood in the bottles and had Levin absorb it. We moved the mutants away and from where we were going to rest.

The rest of the night was peaceful after that. I was still awake after the situation with the mutants since I didn't really need much sleep as I still had some energy left in me from yesterday.

"I think I slept since it was really comfortable in the hovercycle. It wasn't shaking as much as it was before."

Now back to the present we were resting on the side of the road in a ditch that ran along the side of the road. Isra and Ava were sleeping next to the ditch but they rolled down not even waking up but luckily it was dried up and there was barely any water in it where they rolled.

I was out stretching, warming up my body. Seeing as everybody was sleeping peacefully it should be safe for a while.

The surrounding area wasn't as desolate as it was before. The road had been covered in grass and other plants were growing through the cracks and I could see the sunrise in the distance.

After some warming up for the day as if it wasn't the apocalypse I started to think what was up with the hovercycle changing and everything. Still thinking of it Ava had woken up because of the sunrise.

"What are you doing Min?" Ava asks.

"Oh good morning. I was just thinking about the hovercycle. Why would it change like that?" I wondered.

"I got it from a kid he told he made it himself."

"A kid? When did that happen?"

"It was the one time when I crashed into you. I met him about 7 minutes before that happened. He was taking care of his mother who was weak. I gave him medicine for his mother in exchange he gave me the hovercycle he made. He just said that he made the hovercycle out of the parts that he had on him. He was sure that the hovercycle would work. I thought I already told you all of this?"

"I don't think there would be a good time for you to have told me this. Did he say anything that was special about the hovercycle?"

"He did say something when I was riding off but I couldn't hear him since I was already riding away from him. I'm hoping he and his mother are safe though. He seemed pretty nice."

"Ava, can you take the hovercycle out? I'll need your help also."

"Yeah sure. What are you going to do?"

"Not sure yet. Just going to do a little tinkering with your help. It seemed like the last time I saw the hovercycle there were some new things on the screen."

"When was that?"

"When we were getting the hell away from the city. Well I don't even think you can call it a city anymore."

Ava took the ball out and it seemed the ball was silver and was glistening from the sun which fully out in the open. It didn't seem like there was anywhere to unlock or something since it was perfectly round.

"Hey, what are you guys talking about?" Isra says. Isra had woken up came to the road

"Well we were going to take the hovercycle out but there isn't anyway to because of this silver ball. How are we even supposed to open this?"

"Can I see it for a bit."

Ava handed it over to Isra.

"Hmm Omg!? This is an ancient artifact!" As she holds it above her letting the sun shine on it.

We both stayed silent as Isra was looking at us with her fake expression of shock.

"...Yeah okay that wasn't funny at all. "

After Isra had said that the silver ball had begun to open splitting through the middle letting out hissing like a geyser of hot steam within. It didn't fully open and then a hologram showed up telling us something.

[More energy required]

"Isra hold it up again." I said I wanted Isra to hold it up again.

Isra lifts the silver ball where the sun shined the most. As she did it again it said something else now.

[Please stay 5 feet away during activation]

Isra puts it on the ground and moves away quickly with us.

[5,4,3,2,1]

As it had counted down a white light brightened up until we couldn't see the ball at all. When the light had dimmed down we could see the hovercycle shining and new.

It let out wind pressure from under it blowing away the leaves and pebbles around it. It starts hovering off the ground silently instead of making a sound of a broken machine as it did before.

"It looks like it came from an actual Sci-fi story! I knew that hologram existed but not this!"

Isra acted like a little child as she went around it touching the surface, the front and the inside, repeating the same action. As she looked under it as if it was a bad idea when it blew her a foot away from where she was. She gets right back up observing the hovercycle again.

"How in the hell is it hovering and keeping quiet!? Is it using magic or a device!? I can't believe I'm touching this."

Isra eyes turned bright orange and in her excitement and since Isra came from a magic fantasy world it would explain why she was excited.

"Calm down Isra it's just using a high dense air compressor making it hover. I don't even think it can carry us."

"Then how did it carry all of us on it?"

Suddenly the hovercycle shows a hologram above it and seems to be showing words.

[Answer: Making use of all the unuseful parts attached i've made it so it could carry all of you for a limited time. As my owner summoned me again and a new companion arrived It seemed that there was an emergency as I scanned your faces knowing the situation. I've done an emergency upgrade with 10% of success]
