The Last of AE

Amongst the chaos Iron 99 was trying to leave, but because of the falling objects he couldn't just fly straight, after the community was destroyed and was now in a dilapidating state the Robotic people then decided to defeat the creature and take its core and so they drew the creature's attention to them. As the creature was rushing towards them something that looked like a wall was falling and Iron 99 realized that it was in Ave's line of direction, he then used all his energy going pass his limits to reach Ave pushing her out of the way and getting hit instead. The wall slammed down on Iron 99 and Ave realized Iron 99 saved her life but in return he lost his, as she started calling out to him crying more than before and injuring her hands as she tried lifting the wall, but she could hardly feel it and kept trying to lift the wall. She gripped onto the wall breaking her nail as her fingers started bleed, as her hands slipped it scratched over the sharper ends of the wall making her hands covered in blood. As she was trying to pry the wall off Iron 99 she saw his paw and kept lifting, she held back all her tears and could only think about saving Iron 99 for Lynx. 

    Iron 99 managed to crawl out, but he was much damaged. She hugged him as she was relieved that he was alive, but Iron 99 pushed her away as he needed to get back to his master. Iron 99 was slowly making his way back to Lynx, soon Lynx finally reached the community or what once was the community, he wasn't sure how he managed to reach AE, but he somehow made it. As he looked around with his heart pounding in his chest, looking at the destroyed community AE the houses and buildings were flatten and because of luck few were left standing as they tilted over. Lynx never expected to see AE in such a state, everything was gone, and the buildings were destroyed so much Lynx could hardly tell where everything once stood.

  He took a deep breath and pushed everting in the back of his head, trying to forget everything he just witnessed and started calling out especially to those he knew,

     "Iron 99!"

     "Ave!"

      "Han"

      "K, Lil!"

      "Pall, LC!" Lynx kept calling out but he received no answer, he could see the fight taking place, but he didn't care about that he just needed to find anyone especially Iron 99. He continued calling while dragging his weaken body and finally he heard Iron 99's low bark, Lynx ran as if he was recharged following the sound. Lynx saw that the fight was being pushed back to where he heard Iron 99 and there was no way he would make it in time as the layout of the ground was too much for him to cross over. Lynx climbed up something and saw Iron 99 in a distance, he kept moving as the fight drew closer to Iron 99. With quick thinking Lynx took the megaphone from his bag and inhaled before shouting on top of his lungs.

    "Move! don't step back!" Lynx screamed as the sound echoed reaching the Skylanders ears but they didn't care and ignored him, but Lynx kept shouting at them. As Lynx kept fighting his body to keep moving. The fight got closer and closer to Iron 99 and then right before Lynx's eyes he saw as one of the Robotic people stepped on Iron 99, his eyes widen and Lynx froze instantly as they rose their feet from Iron 99. After few seconds Lynx processed everything and screamed out Iron 99's name in an agonizing tone until he felt his vocal cords tearing apart and tears rolled down his face. Lynx kept moving, rushing to where Iron 99 was, his throat was hurting and he kept coughing up blood, but he ignored everything. Upon reaching the only thing he saw was the sunk in ground, tears poured down his cheeks even more and then his body finally gave in and he fainted, losing consciousness. 

    He woke up sometime later with his head buzzing from pain as he slowly looked around trying to remember what happened, he held his throat and squinted his eyes as he looked around and slowly remembered what happened. He saw in a distant the Skylanders standing around which meant the creature was defeated, but he didn't care about them. Ever muscle in Lynx's body was screaming out as he shifted his body and tried to stand, as he stood up he saw the hole before him and the memories played in his mind. He forced his body to get closer and when he did he saw Iron 99 pressed into the ground as if he was printed there. Lynx wanted to embrace him, but he was so weak and if he went down the possibility of him climbing back up was very low, he then took a pole that was within reach for support and slowly pulled himself calling out to the others.

     "Miss Myr!" "Leader Mitt!" "K!" "Ave!" "LC!" Lynx called out but there was no answer.

      "Anyone!" he shouted even louder but still met silence

     He kept dragging himself for about a minute and then he spotted Ave but his body felt heavy as he saw her sticking from something bleeding out, he was taken aback as he almost fell. He walked staggering closer to her and as he was close enough, it was very clear, she was dead. Lynx voice tighten and his stomach felt twisted, he kept looking around and calling out, clinging to the thin grimace of hope that someone was alive, he believe that it wasn't possible for everyone to be dead. But everyone he passed was a laying corpse. He spotted Han's body, but as he got closer he only saw the upper half and his dying face was in terror, his other half was history. Lynx called out desperately straining his voice even more, but despite that he still managed to shout out, the pain meant nothing. Soon Lynx went back to where Iron 99 was and tried to think of a way to get to him so he could help him. Even though everyone was dead Lynx tried to deny the fact and still believed they were alive while pushing the thoughts in the back of his head. He went close to the hole that Iron 99 was slowly making his way down, but despite being careful he suddenly slipped and stumbled downwards as he felt the pain even more, he pressed his teeth together trying to block his sounds. Lynx tighten his eyes as he forced himself up, when he saw the site before him his head felt dizzy and his world was spinning. Even though he didn't know Iron 99 the longest he considered him as his closest friend and family, and now his closest family was dead, lifeless before his eyes. Iron 99 core has been destroyed and his colour had faded, his limbs were being pushed from the main body as if the body and the limbs were giving different charges.

    Lynx knelt there as the tears slowly streamed down his face, he could feel his mind shattering but he was still in denial. The Skylanders then walked over to where Lynx was as they looked at him from above and started apologizing mockingly towards him.

     "We're sorry we stepped on your hunk of metal, we really meant to do that. Haha" he said as he added pressure to the word "meant" and they all stood there laughing. 

     Lynx was going through a lot of emotions he didn't understand and started to confuse himself. He clutched his head and dragged on his hair before shouting out.

     "Why!" he screamed at them and got their attention as they were talking and laughing amongst themselves. They looked at Lynx as he held his head low again. "Why is all this happening, why me. Wait, wait this isn't real everyone is fine and Iron 99 is alive, they're all alive" Lynx kept rambling out loud as the Skylanders looked at him and one of them then made a spiraling motion at the side of his head saying Lynx was going crazy and then they all burst out laughing. Lynx then slowly looked up to them as their voice drew his attention.

      "We have arms and legs, eyes and senses and a lot similarities. So why? Aren't we all the same? We're just people, just like you" Lynx spoke as tears covered his dirty, bloody face.

     They laughed at him even more upon hearing him. "We're nothing alike, you guys down here are nothing but Rats and Scums. You all simply deserve to die, you're all in the way" the man spoke as he looked at Lynx with disgust and despise in his eyes. Lynx's eyes widen when he heard the words "You're in the way", the words played on repeat in his mind and then he unlocked a lost memory, a memory he didn't know ever existed. The flashback played freshly in his mind as if he was reliving everything that happened.
