Anarchy Unlimited

Chapter 5

The Moirai ship glides silently through the velvety darkness.. the star's lighting it's unerring path.

Katrina looks around the empty cockpit.. the glow from the instrument panel the only light. It needs no crew.. for it is Moirai built and thus.. Moirai run. Suddenly the 2-way communication screen slides up and Libbys very worried face appears. " Katrina.. Kat.. hon.. talk to me.." "They all think that I have finally lost it.." she snapped. "Even Anarchy". a *soft loving smile* appears. Turning back to the screen..*heart heavy*.. *Kat smiles ever so slightly* 

Libbys troubled voice continues.." Hon.. you have to come back". Libby places her hand on her own heart. " Kat.. Skylar is dead". " This obsession has got to stop.. Massacre had nothing to do with her death". Katrina passionately cuts her off "Massacre has EVERYTHING to do with this!!" Lib shouts back.. "Put Atropos  on.. NOW!" With infinite sadness in her voice Kat replies "He's not here, it's just me". Lib quickly replies.."Kat.. put him on.. it's a Moirai ship and only a Moir.." Her voice trailing away, Libby falls back in her chair.. a look of disbelief etched on her face.

The enormity of what Kat has said settling in her breast like a stone weight. Libby tries to mask the quick look of revulsion that briefly touches her face.. but Kat has seen. She knows that look.. it's the same involuntary look that appears when people first meet Atropos. He is not of us.. always just on the brink.

Shaking herself..

Kat *softly smiles*.. "Lib.. it's okay.. I of all people understand". With overwhelming love in her voice, Kat continues.." Make no mistake, my daughter is alive". "It was his PLAN all along.. Greg misread the signs". *shrugging her shoulders* "but that too was pre-destined.. as is this". The screen suddenly flickers and Libbys image starts to break up.. Kat gently places her hand on Libbys heart.."Know I will Always be right here sis". Whispering in a tear filled voice.. " I love you".. The screen goes black. Katrina stands as before.. the fingers on her right hand twisting the gold entwined heart ring that Greg placed on her finger when they exchanged their vows of commitment. So many memories pushing through her mind. Tank.. her son. His homely, rocky face suddenly flashes before her eyes.. It all started with Anarchy and Atropos finding him. The tortures he endured at Massacre's hands. A *wry smile* touches her lips as she remembers how Tank captured all of their hearts. She is thankful for the special bond that he and Libby share.. for she knows in the coming hours and days.. he will need that bond as never before.

Greg.. she falls to her knee's in pain as she envisions the devastation he will have when the truth is known.. Grabbing the edge of the console she staggers back up. Just as the Fathers decreed that Atropos was The Seeker...Lib's The Wisdom...Greg was The Protector. Then me.. The Giver. The four of them together created the CIRCLE. And so it was written.. One would be forever on the fringe of the Path.. watching.. waiting.. silently guiding. And the other would work from within the Path. A third would appear.. and thus a Triangle will form. in direct conflict with the CIRCLE. A malevolent voice rings out.." You.. will come to me.. or she will be sacrificed.." Katrina closes her eyes in resignation and bows her head in assent.

And so it was written....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Get up you piece of rock shit" The robots metal foot plunges into Tanks rocky chest.

"Massacre should of got rid of you years ago."

Tank awakens and sees 3 robots standing around him, he recognizes where he is, outside Matt and his sleeping quarters.

Tank: "Where's Matt?"

Robot 1: "Where he should be.. with Massacre!"

A tear rolls down tanks rocky cheek, he thinks to himself he has failed his loved ones once again.

Robot 1: "it's time to die" All 3 robots point their Blasters at Tanks head, right before they fire, a platoon of troops burst out of the massive whole on the wall, Viper leading the group..

Viper: "Get the fuck away from him! Open fire people, now!!!"

Fast, heavy and hard the troops fire upon the robots, knocking all 3 away from Tank, more shots are fired, blasts are exchanged, the smoke clears and in the end the robots are destroyed.

Tank stumbles to his knees.. "About time you guys arrived."

Viper: " I heard some commotion so I got some troops together, thank god for you I did eh?"

Tank: "I don't believe in God anymore.." 

Tank walks away..
