Author's Note:
Just to say, this took a while to write and re-write. Everything was hard to create, imagine, and to put on paper. So if anything is confusing or anything in that nature, please tell me, so I can correct it. And another thing, there will be two endings. One being what I like to call a "Dead Ending." And the other a good ending. I couldn't choose which I should write so I wrote the "Dead Ending" and my friend will write the good ending. I won't tell you who he is. I hope you enjoy what I got.

They are almost there.
To their end.
Can you feel their Demise?
The breath of life leaving their lungs?
No? You will soon. Fate calls for it.
The team leaves out of the bar awaiting for their pick-up. The winds of the carrier arrives before the vehicle does. Xavier is forgetting his call sign. When did Starter Pack leave? His soul corrupted now. He is no longer himself, but the team doesn't notice this tole of change hit him. Tel stares at Xavier, with a face of sadness.
"Xavier..." Tel quietly said.
"What is it Tel?" Xavier said calmly as Tel approached his presence. Xavier feeling off about what Tel wanted to say. Does he know what is happening to him?
"It's when you went through the accident..."Tel said in a worried voice. This worried Xavier. Maybe he saw Tareen. Did he see him? The voices were calling out to him. Saying if he knows, he must kill him. Xavier almost broke a tear.
"It's just when I saw you going through that trauma and I wanted to tell you that I almost lost a friend. I know I only knew you for 5 days, but you are the one who gave the free will to live and choose my own life. I don't want to lose you again. It was too much of a dramatic scare for me," Tel said deeply. Xavier almost cried. A true friend in his hands.
Xavier put his robotic hand over his shoulder. "Don't worry, Tel. I won't go down easily." Xavier said as Tel felt a small feeling he never felt before. A feeling that he could not do."Wait... Are you trying to cry?"
"I guess it was obvious. Let's get back to the mission," Tel quietly said as he was trying to wipe away a tear.
The two finally entered the carrier. The team were waiting for Gavin to finally arrive or give the signal to leave. They see a small figure in the distance with what looks like a large box. It's getting larger and larger. They ready their weapon to what might come.
"Hey! It's me! Wait!" the figure shouted.
"Oh god! It's Gavin," said Jell as she sighed in disgust.
"I'm here!... Huuu... Huu... I'm here," Gavin said as he puffed after running. Leaning down, trying to catch his breath, he gets back up with a red face smiling. "So... What I miss?"
"We almost shot you, you freaking idiot!" Jell shouted.
"Hey, hey, hey! I came as I said!" said Gavin as Jell took her helm off to reveal her anger.
"We thought you were a gangster trying to kill us!" Jell shouted in anger as Gavin swayed his head away as if she was yelling. "What the hell made you think that!?"
"Hey! I'm sorry if you are having a little chat, but were you guys in a bar?" said the pilot, Warrior.
"Yeah..." said Gavin as Jell cooled off.
"Why do you ask?" Jell question.
"Well, none of the veterans are alcoholics. All federation troops can't drink on duty," said Warrior as Xavier chucked a few mints in his mouth.
"Yeah, he's kinda right. I don't drink. And I'm Irish!" said Gavin as Jell look furiously at her and slapped him. Night Crawler laughs.
"Okay, can I ask what the hell that is?" said Roman as he pointed at the box Gavin hauled.
"Ulyssese Once said that the tide of war stops to admire the new technology and weapons," said Gavin
"Kay... What is it, though?" Roman asked as Gavin pushed a small button on the metallic box and it shift and opened forming into something. The team moved back as the box formed in to a large droid.
"Now, does that answer your question?" said Gavin as the droid looked around and observed the entire team.
"Hello..." the droid quietly said.
"What is it's name?" Xavier asked as Gavin smiled.
"It's called Prototype 9913243-FMD-3, but I call him Silas!" Gavin said excitedly as Jell grabbed him by the vest.
"You named it after my father!?" Jell shouted.
"Y-yeah! He was a great man! He was the one that saved my arse when I was a rookie! N-now, can you p-put me down?" Gavin quivered as Jell raised her fist.
"Hey! He's a recruit. You can't hurt him.," Xavier said as Jell pulled her fist down and let Gavin go.
"Thanks you little soldier!" Gavin shouted. "Don't call me that"
"So why did you bring him here?" said Jell as she crossed her arms. Gavin smiled at her. "He is something I saved for a special event, and saying that a Kira Kora Pirate has the sacred crystal, he felt appropriate," Gavin explained as he patted Silas.
"Okay! Warrior, take us to the Psycho's lair. Better get to your ship, Gavin. This thing's pretty fast," said Jell as Gavin saluted the team and ran to his ship in the distance.
They both enter into space and ready theselves for what is next. For what insanity is to approach their eyes. Tareen still in Xavier's mind, what madness will enter with his old friend's death? And the Arch Crystal, what has he done with the powerful element?
