The portal opens on at the bottom of a cliff face; the nine of came through seeing nothing but sand for miles with the heat of the sun biting down on us. “For the name of Celestia sack it dryer than the Bad Lands back home.” Spike out loud taking off his jacket trying to get cool off. “I know what you mean. How hot is it out here?” Rainbow said taking off her helmet to get some of that sweat coming off her head. I was close the portal quickly get back inside my car to check on the temperature. The outside gear is showing 124^oF.

“Damn, it must be the middle of summer on this world.” I said to myself taking off my jacket and turning the A/C on full blast and putting down a maker so we can find our way back to the portal. “Danny where are we?” I ask him over the radio after AJ lunches his drone from the back of her truck taking off her hat to get some of the sweat that gets from the heat alone. “It looks like you’re in the 50 miles of Las Vegas northwest from there.” He tells getting a better look from the air and looking at the map back at the shop of the Desert World.

“Vegas what is that and is it anything like Los Pegasus back home?” AJ asks me when she gets inside of her truck. “No, I don’t think so from what you and the other's description of it. This is more like a city of the same name back on Earth before I even all of this started. But that is a story for another day. By the way, we are going to need the water from there so we can find the element.” I said answering her question and some of the others was things about.

“He right from that heat of this world is going hard on the cars.” Duke tells them making the others too look at their water temperature gage. “How is that possible we only been here for only a few minutes and it nearly close to hot on the gage?” Twilight ask me seeing the rising line on the gage getting dangerously close to the top of the red mark on her car. The others see the same thing on their gages.

“It would be best to get moving on to Vegas so I can get some water. Because I’m dying for a drink right about now.” Spike said over the radio. “Danny is there a nearby road heading into the city?” I ask him.

“Yes there is, five miles south of your current position.” He tells me looking at the map from where we are right now. “Thanks Danny, we’ll call if we need anything else. Alright everyone changes to Off-Road treads on the tablet on your dashboard. “I told them changes my treads without any problems as for Spike and Rainbow use a smaller tablet that is on the bikes to change their treads. Once everyone treads have been changed we got on our way to the road that will lead us into the city of Las Vegas.

“James I’m impressed from the things you can come up with only a matter of moments and with what you have to work with.” Twilight tells me over the radio. “Thanks, I learn to make do with I got to work with.” I told her. “Twilight I know that you and the other have questions about this world and list is getting longer every day now and a new world that we come across?” I asked her. “Things in this world are both fascinating and terrifying from what I have seen from the day we showed up from the riff.” She tells me making our way through the sandy path in front of them seeing a road.

“Good to see a road again.” Rarity said out loud over the radio as I put down another marker next to the road. “Here we go again.” I thought to myself before heading south the road towards the city.

“Is that city of Las Vegas?” Applejack asks me looking at the city in the distance. “Look at the size of it.” Rarity said out loud looking at the share size of it alone.

“I know what you mean from the size of this city it must be one of the biggest city on the planet?” Twilight asks herself over the radio as we reach the outer edges of the city showing welcome to Las Vegas on a sign on the middle of the highway.

“There must be a gas station nearby.” I said to myself. “Come again?” Applejack asks making a realization that I said that over the radio. “Nothing I was just talking to myself again.” I answer her question to dodge a bullet on that one.

“That was strange and unlike him.” Duke thought to himself as we got off the highway to the interior of the city seeing a gas station nearby from where we got off the interstate.

“I don’t want to be here longer than we need to be.” I said out loud getting out of my car before heading into to the store.

“Something is wrong with him?” Twilight said out loud. “It wasn’t just me that I notelets that.” Duke said over the radio.

“Pardon?” AJ asks them both. “It something with the city that making act this way, like he doesn’t want to be here for some reason?” Twilight was thinking out loud over the radio.

“I think I might know the reason.” Danny said out loud. “Why is that?” Rarity asks him. “There is a nickname for this city back on Earth and that name is.” Being cut off by Pinky saying something random guessing’s.

“City of landmarks, wait, city of hotels, I got it Show Town.” Pinky said trying to guess the city nickname. “No, that’s not it.” He tells her. “Then what is then?” She asks him. “Sin City; is the nickname that people back on Earth and there is no dough in my mind that it’s called the same thing here.” He answers their question.

Meanwhile inside the store, I was checking on how much for a few gallons of water for this journey of ours. Until I see the prices tag on the gallons nearly 6.00 dollars a gallon. “There must be a water shortest or something.” I thought to myself getting a few gallons for the trip and some drinking water for everyone. After everything is been rough up the total was close to a hundred bucks. “You’re him aren’t you?” The cashier asks me. “Who are you referring too?” I ask him. “Oh my god you are him the legendary James Cribb. I’ve seen all your races and I’m a big fan as well, some of them thought you were died after what happen to you. But I knew it would take more than a crash to kill you.” The cashier fangasming over seeing me in person. “Listen I have some things to taking care of real quick.” I told him. “I can understand that you’re a busy man getting your car ready for the race that in a few days.” He tells me. “What race I didn’t know about a race? Until after you told me just now.” I ask him. “You didn’t know the race that been building up for months now?” He asks me. “I’m betting the Reds has something to do with this upcoming race?” I thought to myself.

“Listen I have to get going with this water for something important.” I tell him to get out of the shop before the Reds or something worst happens. “Let me looks like you need some help with that.” He tells me helping me with those creates of water to the cars outside.

The others see me and the cashier carrying crates of water to the only vehicles that are in the parking lot. Before heading back out with the water creates I turned on the earpiece that I leaded to AJ after her radio when out back on the Storm World. I overheard the conversation that Twilight and the others are talking about the city of Las Vegas, its nickname, and why I don’t like this city.

“There a reason why I hate this city?” I said over the earpiece. “Why is that daring?” Rarity asks me over the radio while me, while I'll carrying creates to the cars. “I guess that Danny or Duke told you the city nickname?” I ask them. “Yes, Danny told us it nickname and I don’t know why this beautiful city is called Sin City as it nickname?” Rarity asks me. “After I when into hiding and getting the shop open in Queen City. I heard about a race going on in Las Vegas, so a quick transport ship later to city of Sin. Come to find out that the race is set up by a group of mobsters that want to take the money for themselves.” I told them.

“Mobsters you mean the same people that attack us back the Library?” Twilight asks me. “Yes I far I can tell.” I answer her question getting the last create into the cars.

Then what sound of an alarm going off throughout the whole city. “What’s with the alarm?” Rainbow asks out loud. “Sandstorm!” The cashier shouted before heading back into his shop.

“Spike, Rainbow you’re going to need these.” I handing them some googles and a couple of bandanas.

“Danny we’re out in the open can you finds us an underground parking lot to take some cover from this sandstorm.” I told him getting back inside my car. I see what I can do it seems that everybody heading to the nearby buildings for cover.” He tells as both Rainbow and Spike put on the stuff I just gave them; seeing a cloud of dust and dirt eating up the city into the storm.

“My sweet Celestia, look at the size of it.” Twilight said in shock seeing the size of the sandstorm.

“Danny, how it’s coming?” I ask him over the radio. “I’m working on this as fast I can here. Wait I got it, follow me.” He tells me before off down from the storm to nearest underground parking lot. Others see the storm is coming in fast through the city and they were shock of it sallow them up one by one. The air around them starts to turn orange cross with brown making us turn on our headlights.

“I can see anything through this mast.” Applejack said out loud over the radio as they were trying to make their way forwards cover with Danny drone leading the way. James, I have to change the setting so I see through the sandstorm before I get sallow up by it.” He tells me changing the setting to making it easier for him to fly through the dust.

With the changes over and done with before the storm sallow him. “Can you see me?” Danny asks us. “Yes I can barely throw the storm. “ I said over the radio. “Good let get going to that parking lot.” He tells me.

On his end is showing something from an 80’s music video outlining the buildings, roads, and everything in between in different colors outlines of what around his drone and the others. Back with us the sandstorm starts to darken the ski. Dark as the night ski the only light that can be seen is from the building, streetlights, and the headlights and taillights from the cars that are still on the roads trying to find cover.

“Is this normal James?” Twilights ask me. “No not here in Vegas, but it happens from time to time. Normality these storms show up in different areas of the planet.” I answered her question has we found the underground parking lot.

The door to the parking lot opens up letting us in to give us cover from the storm. “Thank Celestia that we found some cover, it feels like I sallow a whole sandbox.” Rainbow said out loud taking off her bandana trying to cough up lung in the process. Spike is doing the same thing when he takes off his bandana.

“Are you two are alright?” Fluttershy asks them about how much they are coughing. “I think I’m alright as far I can tell.” Rainbow answers her question finely stopping couching up.

“Same here.” Spike answers her as well. “Good I thought that both of you got something in your lungs from the storm.” She tells the both of them.

“Danny how long it’s going to be until the storm as past?” I ask him as he lands her drone next to the cars. “I don’t know minutes or hours.” He tells me. “Keep me posted.” I tell him. “Will do.” He tells before checking on the where element is going to be.

“James, what about the water you got for the cars?” AJ asks me about the cardboard crates that’s in the trunks of Fluttershy car and my car. “This is the best place to get them cooled off and some fresh water in the radiators.” I said out loud getting one of the creates from the trunk of my car. Opening it up showing six gallons of water inside I grab one of them and start getting the cars to cool off from the heat and from the sandstorm.

Hours later the cars temperature gages reading normal again. “That was close. I don’t know what would happen if it if one of the cars got a busted radiator or worst.” I thought to myself closing the hood on the Applejack truck.

“Weather is clearing” My phone going off. “Storm passing.” I said out loud holding the phone in my hand. The doors to the parking lot open showing the daylight of the planet and the city of Vegas itself. “Good I’m ready to find the element of this world.” Applejack out loud getting in her truck while everyone else firing up their engines; as I’m making my way to my car, starting the engine the roar of the engines filled the underground parking lot.

“Danny where is the element is?” I ask him over the radio. “During the while you and the others were taking cover from the sandstorm, I was working on where the Deseret Element is, and it looks like it in Cairo on the other side of the planet past Gas Town.” He tells me and the others.

“Gas Town, Cairo, Las Vegas what’s next quicksand?” Twilight asks herself over the radio. “OK it’s going to be a long drive to Cairo. So keep a close eye on your gages on your water temperature out there on the roads.” I told them before heading to the highways heading to Cairo.

The drive was long an enduring threw some of the most driving contentions that this world as to offer. We got off the highway and processed to off-road and dirt roads to avoid the Reds checkpoints that are on the highways of this world. Running into creatures of this world and a made a close run-in with a quicksand or too.

“Here we are Cairo.” I said out loud on top of a hill as we overlooking the city. “Danny where in the city is the elemental door?” I ask him over the radio. “Just give me a moment.” He tells me as he gets a closer look at the map and piloting his drone over us and next to the city.

“It looks like at the Pyramids of Giza deep within the main pyramid itself.” He tells me looking at the map. Making me to lunch my drone to get a better look, come to find out he was right about the where the door is; looking at the live footage coming from the drone. Before recalling it and making our way to the pyramid.

“Way are these pyramids called the Pyramids of Giza?” Twilight asks me. “These were called something else long before the MR series toke off I was called the Pyramids of Giza of the similarities to the one back on Earth. So I never have been inside one of them before in my life. So this going to be interesting.” I said out loud answering her question while driving through the city.

“This city of Cairo reminds me of Somnambula?” Rainbow asks herself and Pinky looking at architecture of the city. “I know what you mean the resemblance is uncanny.” Pinky said with surprise and questionable details of this world and back home.

“This city both surprising and dangerous at the same time from what we have seen so far.” Twilight said out loud. “Lucky for us we didn’t made a run in with anyone trying to kill us yet.” Spike said out loud.

“Good thing that Duke can use is car like a sonic whatever James called it to get us through all off those quicksands.” Rarity said out loud. “Amplifier, it’s a Sonic Amplifier.” I said out loud.

“Rainbow, why does this city reminds you of one back home?” I ask her. “You see one time when Daring Do aka AK Yorlin was retiring from writing stories about her adventures. So me and Pinky when to see why she retiring from writing and saving the world.” Rainbow tells her side of the story when Pinky starts telling her said of the story.

“She read news stories about her destroying carts and some other things that in her books and somepony giving her a bad name of stealing from the locals.” “Thank you Pinky. Anything work things out, lifted her spirits; as well find out who’s trying to give daring do a bad name in the first place.” Rainbow finish up the story on why the city of Cairo rings so many bells for them; as we made our way through the city.

“That story reminds me of something else back on Earth?” I said out loud questioning the story. “Why is that?” Rainbow asks me. “There are two of them that I have in mind. I’ll show you when we get back to the show.” I answer her question. As we finally get to the pyramids of different sizes near the center of the city itself.

“These things look like they been here for a long time.” Rarity said out loud looking the detail of the pyramids and there been left in a near state of ruins. “The city was built around the pyramids and rebuilt some of the ruins that been left over from the civilization that used to live on this planet.” I told the others from what I gather from the history of this world when I was doing research the first time a come across the city during a mission for the Silencers.

Danny is trying to find a way inside the main pyramid scanning with his drone of the structure itself and the others pyramids around the main structure. “How we looking?” I ask him. “I can get things a few feet through the sand. Duke can you use you Sonic Amplifier for getting a deeper scan that I can’t get.” He said out loud over the radio.

“I’m on it.” Duke said out loud getting his Amp getting ready to fire into the ground. “See what you can do.” I tell him. As he fires the first pulse into the sand below them. Bouncing off any solid objects down there and Duke Car can receive the singles that been bounced off of anything that is down there.

“I’m getting something here. Danny, are you seeing what I’m seeing?” He asks him. “Yes I do.” He said out loud looking at the map seeing what Duke amp is keeping up below the sand. “It looks like buildings underneath the sand and it looks like there a keyhole to reveal the building that is underneath the sand.” He tells me and the others. “Where is this keyhole?” I ask him. “It looks like a few feet underneath the sand on the east side of the main pyramid.” He tells me looking over at the map. “We are on the South side of the pyramid.” I side out loud.

“Best for us to get going then, In order to get to the elemental door.” Twilight said out loud over the radio before we toke off to the east side of the pyramid.

Ok you’re getting close to the keyhole.” Danny tells the group as we made up the east side of structure getting close to the key I look over seeing the desert key beginning to glow the closer we get to the keyhole. “Guys something is happening with the key?” I said out loud over the radio. “What was that?” Twilight asks me about what I just said over the radio. “It’s the Desert Key it appears to be glowing.” I said over the radio answering her question. We keep going and the key kelp gets brighter and brighter until we gotten the center point where the keyhole is located.

The brightest of the key became that I had to stop and get out of the car. “You’re alright there sugarcubed? I could see the brightest of that key from your windows being as dark as they are?” AJ asks me over the radio. “Yes, I’m alright as far I can tell. Just the key is so bright I had to stop.” I answer her question while the other looks shock from what is going on with the key. I start to float out of the car, hovering on stop where I’m currently standing at.

The sand underneath me starting to shack, making me roll out of what about to come up through the sand. With a loud pop from the ground, stands a stone statue with a keyhole at the base of the statue. “That was way too close.” I said out loud making everyone come out of their cars to check on me. “James that was way too closes for you and for us as well.” Fluttershy said to me checking me out.

The key starts to float in front of the statue, before going into the keyhole making a hugh noise and releasing energy all around the statue and the pyramids. “What is happening?” Twilight asks me. “I don’t know!” I shouted answering her question.

Seeing sand around the pyramids and threw out the city being suck by something underneath the sand revealing more of the statue and the buildings that been underneath the sand itself for only god know how long.

Meanwhile outside the city at a Reds checkpoint, “Sir there is something going on in Cairo.” The guard said into a headset into he has on. “What in the name of Omega are you talking about?” The General asks him. “Sir, I don’t know but I think that James and his friends must have gotten through without us knowing.” The guard tells him. “He must have been off-roading and some of the back roads that we didn’t think about covering. Meanwhile I, I mean we have a rebellion on our hands destroying resources for our project.” He tells him. “Sir, what do you want me to do?” He asks the General. “Get every unit that is on the planet and capture him and his friends, and I mean right now.” He orders the guard before hanging up on him. “What the hell are you?” He asks himself looking at the footage of a dark blue horse with a horn and wings being attacked from up of attack drones.

We quickly got back in our cars and bikes keeping it from getting damage of what’s happening to them in front our eyes. Moment later after all of the sand is gone from the area. The key pops itself out of the keyhole coming back to us. Making everyone sees the key not coming to me but to Duke hovering next to hood of his car. “That’s impossible?” I said out loud looking at what’s going on right in front of my eyes. He gets out of his car, the key comes closer to him like it was calling to him. He grabs it and in a bright light both he and the key was gone. “DUKE!” I shouted at the top my lungs running to where he used to be.

“Where am I?” He said out loud into a void. “Frank or would you preferred your other name?” The unknown voice said out loud before showing himself being a person the shape of Anubis. “I like to be called by my new name if you mind.” He tells the figure. “Very well, we have been waiting for you for a long time now.” The figure tells him making Duke confuse from what is happening. “What do I call you?” He asks the figure. “You can call me Anubis for the time being.” Anubis tells him. “Let me guess you’re the guardian of this world?” He asks the god. “Yes I am one and the oldest guardians the whole lot. Now before I sent you back to your friends I something to give to you as well when you return with them.” He tells him, handing him a scroll. “Open it after you get the element of this world. I see you and your friends on the other side.” He tells duke.

“Wait, I still so many questions.” Duke said out loud before in flash he landed on the ground hard. “Duke!” Twilight shouts before running forwards him to see if he is alright. He’s coughing up a storm when we got there and to help get back on his feet. “I’m alright as far I can tell.” He tells them getting a hold of himself before seeing the scroll in his head. “Unbelievable it’s real and I thought for a second that it was a dream.” He thought to himself steadying him by leading next to his car.

“The elemental door should be nearby.” I said out fixing to move out before seeing Spike staring at a wall for some reason. “Spike, what’s the holdup?!” I ask him. I when to see what gotten his attention. “Spike, what is with today?” I ask him before turning to face the wall that gotten his attention seeing why he didn’t answer me the first time I asked him.

“Twilight?” I said over the radio. “Yes James, what is it?” She asks me. “It’s probably best for you and the others to see what Spike has found.” I told her, making her and the others got their curiosity going.

By the time they got there to the wall where me and Spike is. They are shocked from what they are seeing. “What in the name of Equestria. It’s us.” AJ said out loud. “I know what you mean.” Rainbow said out loud seeing herself in her human form.

“How is that even possible, this hundreds maybe even thousands of years old and who or whatever made this?” Twilight asks out loud seeing herself with one of the elements fighting what’s looks like army that closely resembles the Reds and there leader aka the General for a greater prize.

On the wall that everyone is shock from what is on the wall, showing the nine of them using their elements from the nine worlds plus with other items that Twilight and the others as seen before on an army that looks uncanny like the Reds being led by their leader that like just like the general.

“Danny, are you getting this?” I ask him. “Yes I am and recording what is going on the wall and anything else that could be of great interest.” He tells me recording the like stream of his drone.

“Are those the elements of harmony?” Rainbow said out loud. “And are those the objects use by the Pillars to when the Pony of Shadows sending him and themselves to limbo.” Pinky said out loud making Twilight and the other notice the objects are being as well the elemental powers that the guardians handed to them.

“There’s something else there.” Twilight when to take a closer look at the wall seeing another symbol on Pinky Stomach.

“What are talking about Twilight?” I ask her making taking a closer look at what she seeing. Seeing the tenth Symbol that’s on Pinky stomach making question that my child that growing in pinky stomach is the Tenth wilder of this element.

“What’s that at the bottom?” Twilight asks me looking at the rows of symbols at the bottom.

Darkest is mysteries. When the time is needed the nine worlds calls on the guardians to defect the darkest and sent it back to where it’s came. When all the elements are together the tenth Element we show itself and pick a guardian to protect its power from anyone or anything would like to take it.

“I don’t we’ll scan it real quick with my drone.” I said out loud active my drone threw a tablet that I had on me. Plotting the drone to the symbols underneath the stone drawing of us; I start to scan the symbols.

After few minutes or two, it was done scanning the symbols. “We’ll find out what this means when get back to the shop.” I said out loud recalling the drone back to my car. “I sure hope so. This heat is killing me.” Spike said out loud trying to wet his mouth with a dry tough.

“Same here; how do people of this world even live here?” Rainbow asks swapping away the sweat from her forehead. AJ takes a deep breath of the dry air before saying. “I don’t know Rainbow. That is another mystery that can be put on the list that just keeps growing the more time we sent here.”

“Some of them have been answered and some others that make it more complicated to answer in the current state.” Twilight said out loud walking to her car to get something. “Twilight what are you doing?” I ask her going to her car getting one of camera that I had back that the shop. “I’m getting a few pictures of the place and try to make sense of all this.” She tells me taking a few pictures of the wall and the nearby areas that Danny drone sent over.

After a few hours Twilight has her pictures of the location and a few more that Danny couldn’t take his drone to. “From what I got should make better scent of this and answers some of those questions of this world.” She told herself seeing the others are waiting for her. “Got the picture you wanted?” I ask her. “Yes I did and I got some that Danny couldn’t get is drone to because of reasons from what he told me.” She tells me. “It’s finally time to get the element of this world.” I said out loud to the others making them overjoyed about that; neither from the heat getting to them or they don’t want to be longer any longer.

Moments later we found the elemental door with the symbol of this world on it. “Ok guardian we know what you look like. We don’t know what you have in store for us?” I said out loud holding the key in my hand, fixing to put it in the keyhole.

After I put in the key singling the guardian to come and face for whatever test he has in mind. Ten statues of the guardian starting to move holding whatever weapon they are holding. “Oh my.” Fluttershy said out loud. “You can say that again Sugarcube.” Applejack reposting from what Fluttershy just said seeing statues moving towards them.

“Which one is the real one?” I thought to myself seeing the ten of them with yellow glowing eyes with the desert symbol in them. Then a rocket from an RPG hit one of them making the statues turn to see who just attack them.

Come to find out it was a unit of the Reds that come to find what going on in Cairo and made a foolish mistake attacking the statues.

“The darkness has come to me.” The guardian tells Duke. “Those Reds basters. They can go to hell very single one of them can go straight to hell.” He said with venom in his veins of hate from happen to him and his friends in the past.

“The darkness has been in your past as well as of mine. Here the thing will show the darkness what it means to attack a guardian.” Anubis tells him.

“James, the guardian is willing to help us to destroy the Reds.” Duke tells me over the radio. “Are you sure?” I ask him. “Yes really they are willing to help.” He tells me. “If they are willing to help us then let them.” I said out loud making him happy for the moment turning on his music; making the speakers on the back of his car sending shock waves around them and the guardian statues. Making the Reds Commutations go offline, so they can’t call for enforcements.

The Reds fires a wave of RPG rockets towards us. The statues that are holding shields throw them up to stop rockets in their tracks. They reload and fire again hitting the shields destroying them and the statues leaving only six of them left.

The commander of the unit stops the rocket attack and sent in the drones and heavies into the attack. The statues ran into the force heading straight at them while me and the others when circle around the attacking force. Me, Duke, Twilight, and Spike when around of the left side, while Rainbow, Applejack, Rarity, Pinky, and Fluttershy when around on the right side. Those who as chips activated them to fight the Reds.

“Here we go again.” I said out loud seeing my hand glowing again heard on the radio that the others hands starting to glow as well.

“James, is your hand glowing?” AJ asks me looking at her own hand glowing. “Yes it is why is your hand glowing as well?” I ask her.

“Same here.” Rainbow said out loud. “Ohh glowy.” Pinky said out loud with joy.

“What’s going on?” Spike asks noticing his glowing hand. When we reach the attacking force Fluttershy turn on her canons and fires at the some of the Reds destroying them with only a few shots. Rarity turns on her speed trap making time slow down running into a few of the heavies taking them out of the fight.

As for statues takes a few more drones and heavies with a few swings with their weapons. As for me and some of the others use our elemental powers to finish up with the attack force leaving only the commander left.

“Wait, wait, wait for just a moment.” The commander said out loud holding is hands up singling his surrender seeing the statues pointing their weapons at him. “Do you even think that you were going to get away from what you did?” I ask him holding a garage towards him. “I’m just a person that was taken prisoner and brainwash to join them. I wasn’t until just now the brainwashing stopped and got my head clear from what I have done.” He tells me his story taking off his helmet revealing his face to the world for the first time in a long time with a clearer mind.

The statues pull back there weapons from the commanders face so he remove the markens that holding him to the Reds mainframe. Removing them and a chip that been implanted on the back of his neck and breaking it in half freeing him forever.

The Guardian opens the elemental door. “I guessing we pass the test or something?” Duke thought to himself. “You did pass the test and you will be the next guardian of this world.” Anubis tells him before disappearing for now.

The nine of us when through the doorway seeing the element glowing yellow. “Ok Duke you’re up.” I tell him as he gets closer to it making pulsating faster the closer he gets to it. When he finally got close enough to the element that it’s pulsating so fast like the others before. “Here we go.” He thought to himself before putting his hand on it making him scream at the top of lungs. “AAAAAGGGGGGG!” Making the element glows brightly as the sun filling the whole room making everyone to cover their eyes from the light coming from it. The element changes into a chip with the symbol of this world on it when he finally pulls his arm out and falling to the ground.

Duke is breathing heavy after bonding with the element; the chip is glowing the same color that it was pulsating with small white waves coming from the symbol itself. “You’re alright there buddy?” I ask him helping him off the ground. “I’m alright as far I can tell and I got to tell you that’s the roughest thing I did in a long time.” He tells me getting a hold of himself on his feet.

“You’re the guardian now; take care of it with your life.” Anubis tells him before disappearing from his head.

“Commander, your face looks familiar?” I ask him as he witnesses the whole thing. “That because I use to drive for the M.R. series when it was still active during the third year before I was taking by the Reds during that time.” He tells me. “I’m guessing you’re one the first prisoners that have been putting into the Red army?” I ask him. “Yes I was, but regretted very moment that I had done during that time.” He tells me. “We can take you as far Vegas with a new set of clothes far you get spotted out in the open by in the city.” I tell him. “Thanks James I would like that.” He tells me.

“What is your name by the way?” Twilight asks the former Commander. “Steve McCoy.” He answers her question.

“Brainwashing, now that something you don’t see every day?” AJ said out loud before walking out to the cars.

“Steve, is there any more of them out there?” I ask him opening the driver side door on my car. “No the force that attacks you earlier is the all the Reds on the planet. Because the General couldn’t send me back up, because of a rebellion army come out of nowhere destroying factories and mills for a secret project for the General as plan for.” He tells me. “So we’re good to use the main road all the way towards Vegas.” I said out loud turning on the engine waiting for everyone else is ready to go.

We quickly made our way towards Vegas as fast we could go. There aren’t any more checkpoints set up by the Reds it didn’t take us long to get to Vegas. If we to go off-road again it would take us just as long as before maybe longer because it’s getting dark in the when we got on the highway towards Vegas.

When we got to Vegas the sun as already gone down showing the nightlife of the city. “Is that same city we were here earlier today?” Rainbow asks over the radio. “Yes it is Rainbow. Vegas looks very different at night than during the daylight hours.” I said answering her question.

“I can believe that sugar cubed.” AJ said out loud seconds after answering Rainbow question.

We move as fast we can to the portal. “Gun it to the portal!” I shouted to the others after the portal opens; the nine when through the portal the without any problems.
