Shadow had walked off from the vehicles, he'd let the others take care of hiding them. He was looking for a place where they could stay. Johnny was trying to put him off in his head
'You can't win you know'
'Really? We've already taken down two camps. If we take down enough then mutants in other states will rise up and take them down.'
'But look at the cost. You've not had a clean break from a camp yet. You've lost several of the key members of your little "team".'
'There are others. There will always be others. We're the next step in the human evolution. Who knows maybe in some other reality mutants are celebrated as heroes, and this humans is better than mutants bull's no longer going on.'
'That's unlikely, it's more likely that there are other realities without mutants. Anyway you won't have to worry about that soon enough.
'What? Why?'
'The army have sent a new prototype robot here called a 'sentinal' which is going to wipe you all out.'
'What!? I've got to warn the others!'
yes, run towards them. The chip will update your location and send it to them. How do you think we've been keeping tabs on you? This chip in your head's relaying everything to us. You are well and truly screwed!'
"No! Screw you!" Shadow shouted, phasing his own hand through his skull and moving it around until he found what he was looking for. He tore it out, phasing it through his head. A brief spark shot from it, causing him to drop it, the spark also hit him in the head, knocking him uncontious.
Hearing Jean yelling Shadows name, Karen turned around and ran after them. She felt herself shaking hoping that Shadow wasnt hurt. She closed her eyes as she cought up with Jean. Shadow can't be hurt, the bastards can't be here already... she said to herself.
"You can open your eyes sis, hes just unconsious." Jim said walking past her and rolling his eyes. Jim walked over to Shadow and kneeled down next to him. He noticed the chip that Shadow dropped and put it in his pocket.
"I'm not carrying him." Jim said to the others as Karen glared at him.
"Uuuuuurrgggggghhhhhhhh..." Shadow said, slowly getting to his feet, "My head feels like someone hit it with a very large bat..." He looks around, seeing who's there then eying Jim suspiciously, "You didn't hit me with a ve..." he asked mumbling the rest, realising he was finally free of his Dad's voice.
