*THE WELL OF GENESIS*

"This is almost the worst, the way I see it."

"Not the worst, Rick," Lisa replied with a hurt sigh. "The saddest thing." "I do not understand you." Claim

She stopped walking when he turned to face her. "Can not you feel it? This is where she must have tried to raise her army-the one the Regent demanded of her. "" You mean the Regis. "

He saw her tilt her head, and began to move around him, more uncomfortable now than before. The saddest. The intuition of a woman. Was it like that, then, what would a nursery look like for the Queen-Mother Invid? He asked himself. A sudden flash behind him erased the thought, a consecutive explosion crushing him to the floor. He saw Lisa's legs when she opened her eyes; She was watching him, the Wolverine coughing shots into something out of sight. He tried to crawl, but she fell on him, immobilizing him. Simultaneously came a second discharge, and a rapid flood of heat.

Then suddenly Lisa got up and ran. Rick could see the mutilated Invid ship, a Trooper Shock slumped forward on his pincer arms, nutrient sprouting like green sap from his leaky sensor.

"Where the hell is Edwards?" Rick asked searching with his eyes inside that strange place.

"Here Admiral" the husky and unmistakable voice of that damn traitor, of that person who not only caused pain and suffering to poor Mimmei and others, but also provoked feelings of hatred and fury by seriously hurting her Lisa's wife who took her to that abortion of her second son "I'm anxious to see him again" he spoke again from the depths of that place in the shadows always hidden as a creeping animal about to surprise his prey.

"Let Edwards come out, unless you're scared of us" He raised his voice, groping towards him, his hand strongly taken by his wife who was behind him, little by little the dim light of the lava pit was revealing the The man's injured face, but before he could move forward. Something emerged from the Well and before Rick or Lisa could let out a shot. They backed off when the thing started to get between them and Edwards. He was an Invid, or so it seemed.

Rick and Lisa poured out all the arsenal they were carrying against that thing. They were so dedicated to destroy that, the product of a sick mind that for a time they forgot the incarnate demon, of Edwards who looked at them with his evil and cynical smile, emitting a laugh when that thing was divided in two, then in four, followed six and so on until they were surrounded. In a moment they ran out of ammunition and began a hand-to-hand combat against those things, suddenly Rick stopped and forced his wife to do it, both were being deceived by the hallucinatory gases emitted from that strange lava pit. When Edwards noticed that Admiral Hunter had discovered him, those things vanished like foam under his feet and slowly approached them.

"Wow, I never thought I noticed, Admiral," said Edwards crossing his arms at chest height, "and what am I doing with you?" Stroking his chin he watched them with his cynical smile and that face covered in half with His metal plate, and it was hard to figure out what the hell this deranged traitor was thinking.

"Very good Edwards here we are already, what do you want from us?" Asked Rick without losing sight of any movement of that man, the minimal distraction would endanger not only his life, but also Lisa's, "Even I keep thinking, "Edwards replied with a grim smile on his face," but I think, first I'll see how well they were trained in the academy "without warning Edwards threw a lightning strike to the burning ground causing both admirals to seek to protect themselves from the fire , this allowed the traitor to approach Rick, hitting his chest forcefully to suffocate him and fall to the floor, rushed to Lisa and began to struggle with her, a blow to the stomach and another one to the chin managed to knock her down, Rick heard the crunching from his wife's bones as he fell, making an effort he began to crawl to try to reach Lisa who was unconscious, begging God to react before Edwards could damage her again but Lisa expected his blow and with a quick movement manages to knock him down, but the shot of a weapon rubbing his shoulder makes her lose her balance, the choked cry of Rick to see her bleed from the wound "Leave her alone, Edwards" scream trying to get his attention away from her.

"No Admiral, I do not think so" approaching her and taking her by the neck beginning to oppress, Lisa tried to release her strong grip, scratching her face "ENOUGH!" Rick yells and Lisa falls crashingly, just like Edwards for the push of Rick, "Damn bastard" again another blow to the face of Rick taking advantage of that moment of pain to approach Lisa and place the gun behind his head "Does he stop or does she die, Hunter?", Rick sits on his legs breathing with difficult, raising both hands in symbol of surrender, but Edwards did not want that surrender he wanted pain, suffering and away was to stop, hitting strongly the back of smooth walks away some steps of them, Rick approaches her slowly, covering with his hand that wound. "Alright, Edwards, you have me here, is it what I wanted or not? Well, let Lisa go, I'll stay with you" she says embracing her wife.

"Hero to the end, right Hunter?" The words with scorn and hatred dragging the last two. "Do not you have any idea how long I'll wait for this moment ?, see it like that, defeated" walking towards that pit of lava.

"Why Edwards? Why are you doing all this? Is it because of Fokker? The one that kept him from entering his squad, because of what happened at the Alaska base, before he was assigned to SDF1, is that why, right? "Rick began to feel the moisture of Lisa's blood on his chest

"It was Fokker at the beginning, Hunter. I will give you that. Fokker and all of you the heroes of the SDF-1. You and your friends the Zentraedi almost finished things for all of us. "

"Come on, Edwards," Rick said contemptuously. "It was the UEDC, you know that. Russo and ... "Edwards laughed. "Go ahead, say it: Russo and who?" Rick looked at Lisa. "Sorry."

"Russo and Hayes," Edwards completed. "Let's not forget the father of his wife, Hunter. It was his idea as much as anyone else's to use the cannon. "

"Then why do you blame us? Gloval was against it - we all were. "

Edwards gave up and placed a hand on the headband. Behind him the Well gave off a flash of uninhabited energy. "But no, that's not why, it's because of this" showing his face disfigured, but Rick and Lisa did not understand anything, they just looked at each other trying to remember or discover something else, "I'll remind you something, Hunter" began to speak "I I was there, "Edwards was saying. "I was there when you and your father said their last goodbyes." Lisa looked terrified by the revelation. "But I thought ... I saw the screen darken. I was sure- "

"But he never bothered to check!" Edwards quivered. "Neither do you!"

Rick, too, was remembering that day. He remembered maneuvering his Veritech Skull-1 through a restricted space of exploding power conduits and broken main power conduits;

Using the phaser's lasers to cut a circular hatch through an impenetrable armored door; Lisa running to her arms from the end of a short interconnect passageway.

"Edwards," Rick said calmly. "I-"

"You what, Hunter? I saw them both leave ... She was in her lap, is not it? What a beautiful couple. Destined to each other. "Edwards's face twisted as the headband drove something invisible inside his mind. He put his fingers under her, as if to keep her from squeezing his leather

Scalp The Well vomited a maddened torrent of flames. "Edwards!" They shouted in unison

"I cried out to him, Hunter ... I crawled through that molten glass spot on my belly begging you to hear me." Edwards tore the sensor band off his head and fell to his knees in pain. He turned to look at the Well and headed towards it. "You guys left in the

Hell there, and I'm going to do the same for you. Now move, both. "

"Do not do this, Edwards," Rick said. "I'm the only one left behind. Let Lisa go. "

Edwards laughed despite the pain radiating from him. "And he's still the Hero, huh? Well, save it. The only thing that kept me alive was to think about how I was going to pay the debt. There's nothing I can say now that I change that. Besides that you do not deserve anything, neither the Glories, nor the medals, let alone be happy, so I waited for you to get away from the ship to attack your pregnant wife, and I could have split it in two but the imbecile Raul diverted my lunge and only released several meters causing her abortion and leave her confined to a wheelchair for some time "

Rick was about to make another play when a voice behind him said: "Maybe there's something that

I can say, T.R. "

"STOP HUNTER!" Nothing I can do or say will return that day, I lost everything, my career on the rise within the RDF, my face already "his voice was interrupted by another well-known one making them turn towards her and her eyes found Minmei standing there. She was very beaten, more naked than dressed.

"Let them go, T.R.," she said, walking to the edge of the Well. "You've lost everything you worked for. But you can still have me if you let them live. I will do anything you ask of me. "

"Minmei, no!" Lisa yelled.

And that was the last time we saw them both, or so we thought, as they disintegrated in that pit of lava burning for more cries of help from Edwards, and revealing that it was actually Janice who, disguised as Minmei, managed to trick him into killing him. , without thinking I took Lisa in my arms and ran with her to the exit of that cave to meet the scratching team and thus leave the planet, thank Janice's sacrifice to save our lives, hugging Lisa against my chest sobbing silence for the death of a friend more.

Suspire satisfied to know that Edwards had died, still did not understand some things about his hatred towards us did not make much sense those words, in case of being that he did not hear it that day in the base Alaska, even so it was too much that hatred, his grudge and resentment towards us. "Something is missing, I know, missing a piece in the puzzle to understand Edwards and that thirst for revenge" ...

I closed my eyes and recovering from my injuries watching my wife sleep in the hospital bed inside the fortress I got lost in the dark holding Lisa's hand thanking her for being alive.
