ITS WORTH IT w

Everything was dusty and broken. Wires hung from the ceiling, sparks jumping off the useless cords. Lucy frowned, as the only sound to be heard was from the clack of her boots, or the crackle of electricity, and the only light came from the windows, where the stars shone through, a few broken lights on the floor, Lucy's flashlight, and the faint glow of the golden trim on her outfit.

"See anything Lu-chan?" a familiar voice sounded in, as Levy's calming tone came through Lucy's receiver. She exhaled gratefully as she responded "So far, just dust and old machinery... Seems odd for the most impenetrable base to go down in a single night... along with the man who made our lives possible..." Lucy said softly, as she turned down a corridor.

"I know... See if you can find his work station. He may have left behind some useful notes I could use" Levy spoke again, the sound of computers in the background.

Lucy nodded before answering, "Yeah, but that's assuming they didn't rot in the past 100 years"

Levy laughed in return before taking a more serious tone of voice "just, be careful. There's no damage on the outside pointing to a break in, nor did the machinery malfunction. Whatever did this... it was on the inside."

With that happy note, the sound of her best friend's voice was cut off, leaving Lucy in the not-so-calming silence.

Lucy froze, as she heard the sound of metal scraping against metal behind her, and loud thudding, which may have also been her erratic heartbeat. She slowly turned, hand clenching on her gun/light whip, but stiffened at the sight that stood in front of her. It looked as if it was made of black dust, de-forming and re-forming with glowing red eyes. The scraping sound she heard earlier was it's high-pitched screeching voice. And from the looks of it, more of these monsters were coming.

She steadied her hand and fired a few rounds, and watched the 5 creatures crumble like sand on the floor. She shook violently, and as she almost turned to run down the hall, the piles screeched loudly as they re-formed, eyes glaring.

"Oh, great, I only pissed them off, and they can't be killed..." She muttered before tearing down the hallway and into the nearest room. She locked the door and turned, and saw the second craziest thing she saw that day.

A boy about her age, with pink hair, in a glass tube filled with some kind of liquid. Wires were connected to his limbs, and it seemed to be preserving him. He wore a black outfit with blue, glowing, trim. He also had a mark glowing on his left cheek, which was like a stamped on '0', glowing the same blue as the trim on his clothes.

Lucy broke out of her reverie as she heard a loud 'thump' on the door behind her, and her mind set into panic mode, which was probably when she had all her best ideas. Her eyes flicked around the room, before she noticed something about the boy. He was breathing. The only living thing on this whole colony.

The pounding on the door got louder before she heard a slight click and she realized that the monsters somehow UNLOCKED the door. From the outside. She did the first thing that came to her mind and slammed her hand on the glowing red button by the pinkette's glass cage, and all the creatures froze as a sudden pulse of energy flooded the room, along with him opening his eyes, which-to Lucy's surprise-were glowing blue, no pupils or irises, just a vast luminescent blue.

The glass shattered and he fell to the ground on his hands and knees in the puddle of liquid that poured out of the tube. Lucy started toward him as he coughed up water(?), and the black particle beasts snapped out of their apparent shock and moved forward hastily, as if scared of this person on the floor. They never got far as he was on his feet and charging at them before she could blink.

This guy was nothing if not fast, and that added with the fact that he was able to, what seemed like, disintegrate the monsters with no problem at all, he was a real life saver. And maybe a tad scary as his awakening made the previously dead lights flicker on and off out of control.

Somewhere along the line he ripped a broken pipe off the wall and used it to expertly spear three of them at once before they exploded in a puff of dust. Lucy's eyes couldn't keep up with his movements, yet he was hard to miss, because of the energy the exuded from him, the glow on his clothes, and the mark on his face, were shining a little too brightly.

He ran the pole through the last one and stopped, breathing heavily. 'alright, so he's at least SOMEwhat human' Lucy thought to herself.

She found herself flinching as he slowly turned, but when his face came into view, she noticed the dark circles under his lids, and sweat dripping down his face, and his eyes were no longer glowing. They were an intense green.

He opened his mouth to probably say something, but instead, his mouth kissed the metal floor as he passed out, the lights dying out with his consciousness.

Lucy inched toward him sleeping form as she turned on her communicator "Levy-chan...? I found something... someone..."
