Home Bound
Avea was awoken by the rumbling of a loud engine, its exhaust filling the air. She slowly opened her eyes to thousands of stars dancing above her, making her head spin with vertigo. She was staring up at the night sky. She'd made it out of the tunnels somehow. "Uuuggh" she groaned trying to sit up, but her entire body ached refusing to move. She felt something shift beneath her and quickly realised that the stars weren’t moving she was.

Gateway Unlocked
Avea's legs burned as she sprinted through the tunnels, and her breath was starting to come out in short ragged gasps. She knew she couldn't outrun Dolunay for much longer. As she ran past the cold obsidian walls of the underground, she swore she could feel the very essence of the luminescence around her as if it was alive, their soft murmurs reverberating through the cool, damp air, like a hum. Reaching deep within her consciousness, as if trying to call out to her.

The Shadow
Avea caught something deep within the obsidian stone barricade surging forward. “Bebop watch out” she screeched, diving to the hard ground cradling Bebop to her chest. Seconds before a deafening sound erupted from the stone. Looking up Avea’s breath caught, her eyes widening in horror at the sight of the enormous overpowering crack. Directly over where she had placed her palm mere moments before, taking in the deep jagged edges like something had torn its way from the inside out."I knew it was following me," Avea felt nothing but blind terror.

Underground Chase
"Elrod!" Avea called out, her voice ringing through the dark narrow tunnel. Avea and Bebop emerged from out of their hiding spot behind the jagged crevices, gliding out into the open. There was no way that Cyrus Elrod wasn't aware they were trailing him, but he didn't shout out in rage or spite like she'd expected him to. He didn't even turn around, as if he couldn't sense her behind him at all.

Rogue Racer
The starting line for the underground races was on a rock plateau lifted high above the grounds. As Avea and Bebop crossed the plateau, they tried to ignore the herds of angry faces staring directly towards them. The fury burning in their eyes, as they watched her walk past them. Avea had known the moment Cyrus Elrod had called her out in front of the crowd that a clear message had been sent to all the clan racers. Avea Maxwell was now the prime target. "They're all looking at us" Bebop hissed, flying closely beside her, as they walked past all the clan racers huddled around their race holes in the ground, tunnelling deep below, ready to plunge into the dark depths. "I know Bebop just keep walking" Avea murmured back, keeping her eyes locked ahead, as she strode past them.

The Outborn
The stillness of the outlands surrounded Avea Maxwell as if holding its breath. Hidden in the shadows, she watched the full moon cast its light upon the fractured terrain. Battling between shadow and light, the dualities fractured and reformed in an entwining dance, never at a standstill. "My sensors do not detect the underground tunnel network," the robotic voice pierced through the darkness. Avea rolled her eyes as her bot flew out of the shadows into the moonlight. Small and spherical, the bot hovered beside her head. Its exterior is tinted orange from rust, with dull antennae and uneven robotic limbs hanging flimsily from its bodice. "The tunnels are close, and I can feel it," Avea said, eyes fixed on the sky. The bot stared at Avea, sparks flying from its antennae in annoyance, "…the tunnels are not in the sky."

Brave the Darkness
The thud of boots echoed across the wasteland like the beating of a war drum. The sky stretched endlessly onwards, with dreary purple clouds churning in sluggish currents. Only a dim, cold light pierced through the murky overcast, casting a lifeless light that did very little to warm the squadron of soldiers marching below. Their armoured formation carved a trail across the barren terrain, their sharp movement perfectly synchronised with their captain positioned at the head. “The intercepted signal was located in this region; stay alert!” their captain's voice called out, cutting through the tense silence. At his command, the squad halted, drawing their weapons on command. All of them are lethal apex predators readying for battle. The quieting clicking of their weapons reverberated as each pair of eyes remained dead ahead as they continued moving stealthily and skilfully through the terrain.
