Chapter 10 - The First Real Loss

To Ekyts surprise, the truck pulled up Haven. Locke was fighting viciously. Everyone else, Thunderhawk, Sojourner, Hawking, Sabre, Archimedes, all of them, had been evacuated. Locke was getting beaten horribly, but would not surrender the chaos emeralds. Staph forced Ekyts head to the window. You see that? We can easily wipe out your kind! So join us, and youll even get to keep Linda-Su. Speaking of Linda, she caught Staphs leg between the two of hers, and fell to the ground, breaking his leg, then stepping on his face, smashing his teeth. Take his keys and go help! Ill get the others! Ekyt was uncuffed, and angry as all get-out. With a yell of primal rage, he charged forward, creating an aisle toward Locke. He got next to the echidna. Ekyt? How did you get here? Never mind that now Locke! Weve got bigger problems! Please, run now, while you still live. Locke pleaded. Im not going to leave you Locke. Then the world stopped.

A loud CRACK was heard.

Locke fell to the floor.

Ekyt knew he was dead. He got down next to him to hear Lockes last words: The emerald lives on. Then the life left his eyes. Ekyts first intuition was to give up totally.

He surrendered. He was to be brought before a court.

Ekyt was to be executed. The judge read off his list of crimes. Ekyt almost laughed at treason. Pardon me, but wouldnt I have to have sided with you to be accused so treason. The judge ignored him. Lien-Da, the judges sister, sauntered over to him. If you be my personal slave, not only will you stay alive, but youll get the (Licks lips) fringe benefits. What will it be? Id sooner die than betray Linda-Su and Locke, God rest his soul. Ekyt responded. Lien-Da slapped him. Ekyt didnt really notice. The noose was around his neck and was tightened. Any last requests? The execution asked him. Let me bury Locke. Ekyt responded. No. I wouldnt really give you one, its just fun to ask. Ekyt spat in his face. The angry executioner decided to make Ekyt suffer. Its all your fault, and now you can take that to your grave. His hand reached for the lever&
