Subject: "What was that?"

The lost Lithonian grew frightened in the cold, empty Residential Sector. He had picked the wrong portion to enter. A failed attempt at communication with someone who wasn't there hadn't helped any.

"Is there anyone there?!" He screamed. The frightened shout echoed in the empty slum sector. Tobor looked around, hoping to find someone, something that would help him. Were those lights in the distance? People? The smile on his face was an understatment for his hope. His feet hit the ground in rapid succession, each step bringing him closer to answers. To safety. To�

"Halt."

Tobor didn't see the massive claw coming. He hit it just after it slammed into the ground, had he been running any faster he'd have been crushed. Though it wasn't far off. The frail Lithonian looked up to see a giant mechanical monster.

"It can't be!"

"It's been a long time, hasn't it? I don't know you, but you surely know me. How long ago was it? Ever since time travel I've lost all track of that annoying dimension." Rampage chuckled. Tobor shuddered. He thought it was safe...he was wrong.

"Get away from me!" He shrieked, running around the claw and towards the lights. Rampage slowly counted down from 5...4...3...2...1....

No one heard Tobor's final breath. No one but the Rampage.
