Fractured Nexus Interlude 03 - Defy The Impossible

(This picks up at where The Nexus interlude chapter left off)

Zeke (Fractured Nexus): Come on. Pick up!, Pick up!

The cyborg revanant sighed heavily as he was holding up his arm, looking down at his communicator. For the last few minutes he's been trying to trying to call on his teammates in order to check ou them.considering the fact that for the past few days he's been resting inside of the Blaze Outhouse, still recouperating from devasting hits,that he, Turbo,Cassie and a couple of people from the other resistance team had taken from the overlord's ambush,which at this moment, he wasn't too sure of what their current stance between one another was as of now. No one has been hostile lately but they haven't really been talking a whole lot either. So far he hasn't really had any sort of luck in reaching his teammates. Each time he tried to cw

"Howdy, this is Luni! Sorry if I missed you. Y'all know the drill" The voicemail of the angel cat playing from the communicator before soon switching over to the voice message of the next person

"YO! Lockley here! If I don't pick up right away, I might be busy with somethin' Leave a message and we can hang, kay?

"Testing, Testing, Oh hi, This is Serena! I can't come to the phone just yet, Tangled up with some serious business right now. Shoot me a text if you wanna talk, Serena out!"

Zeke:Will somebody pick up, please, please pick up...* He sighed heavily as he was moving across the room, still trying to find a good signal, but it seemed to be of no avail, he tried paging in one number just to see if he could get anything before started to hear a small beep at the tone, with one last voice message popping up*

"Top of the morning to you, peeps, You've reached Keiko! I'm kinda busy with some right now, leave a message after the b-* the playback of Keiko's voiced announced before she soon fell silent upon hearing says before she hears a bell ringing, followed by crashing as she could be heard running, Nonono, Lockley, don't touch that! Vinnie stop him!* She shouted out before going back to the phone nervously* Leaveamessageafterthebeep! Okokbye!* She exclaimed before the message went offline as the system repeated "Signal Lost"

The room fell in silence after the final beep. The android was lowering his head down,looking down at the floor, a red electrical pulse surged around his shaking fist, his digital eyes flashed as he draw his fist backward and then slams his fist against the wall, causing several screws and bolts to fall from his arm before he slouches against the wall and down to the floor

Zeke (Fractured Nexus): Darn it...*He sighed quietly as looks down and closes his eyes, holding his hands over his face shell, shaking his head as he sighed, at this moment* Please, please tell me they're okay...* He says with a low tone in his voice, he was worried about the wellbeing of his group, especially in the case of Keiko and Lockley, While he did understand that Lockley at this point was capable to handle most of the danger that could come his way, In the case of Keiko however, he felt that may have been a different, and considering the last attack in the city he had to help her escape from, it only made him more concerned.

Vinnie: Sir, Might I suggest that you get some rest?your systems are still in critical condition, You need repairs before you can—* The AI tried to suggest to him before the cyborg revenant answered, cutting off his sentence*

Zeke (Fractured Nexus): I know that, Vinnie, I know, I know! But I should have already been back by now...* He replies, shaking his head* This all should have only took me two days to get here, find the emerald, then Turbo and make my way back, Now look where that's gone..... A pointless fight, everyone trying to hurt each other, a then Fraxas getting the jump on us and putting us all here. Now I don't even know if my team, let alone if the kids are safe. Or if he found them and....A-And

Vinnie: Don't think like that, There's still a chance that they could be fine, Serena and Luni wouldn't let either of them out of their sight, that I can assure you.
The security AI stated, trying to reassure him and lower his worries

Zeke (Fractured Nexus): You better be right about this. Because I don't know how much longer I can take just waiting here....

He murmured as he turned his head over to the side, tilting his head on the side and laying it on shoulder, losing himself in his thoughts,trying to think a little more positively, but he felt like his worries were only continuing to get the better of him right now, as he was about to close his eyes, he started to hear footsteps moving closer to him before he started to hear a voice a calling out to him

???:Hey,Mr. Parasite?

Hearing that very word "Parasite"  made the cyborg blink his eyes twice out and twitch of confusion upon hearing that very word. He couldn't fathom why but he could feel something erupting inside of him right now , he think rose his head before looking to a certain juvenile flame haze talking to him

Zeke (Fractured Nexus): Excuse me?

Marshall: Oh, I'm sorry, uh, I heard my Dad call you that earlier, I was thinking that might have been your name.
He says, scratching the back of his head nervously as Zeke simply just had a deadpan reaction on his face before throwing it into the palm of his hand

Zeke (Fractured Nexus) : Oh that's tight, he does call me that...(Serena.... You married a freaking dumbass...) * He thought to himself, seemingly a bit annoyed as he started to recall that being a nickname Marshall's father once called him and Renegade back then*

Marshall: You feeling okay?* He asked him out of curiosity and concern, wondering about his wellbeing* I heard something hitting the wall, I didn't what happened so I thought I should check.

Zeke (Fractured Nexus): I'm fine now, Just hurt my hand a smidge but I'm alright...* He says as he lean back against the wall* You can just call me Zeke, No need to be all formal.* He announced*

Marshall: * The pyromancer slowly nodded his head upon hearing that and then started to remember that a question soon came to mind* Do you mind if I sit with you, there's something I want to ask.

Zeke (Fractured Nexus):* He shrugged his arms before sliding over to the other side to give Marshall room* What's up?

Marshall:*He soon took his seat,sitting in a crisscross pose before he turned his head in the direction of the cyborg* Well, I've been wondering, do you by any chance know where my mother could be. I tried to ask my Dad but he was didn't really say much, I was thinking you probably knew something....

The cyborg was a bit surprised to him asking him such a question, he wasn't quite sure how he should respond here, given the rocky circumstances between the flame haze's parents.

Zeke (Fractured Nexus) I-I don't know if that's really my place to be talking what's happening with your folks—

Marshall: Could you at least tell me if you know anything?, I just want to know if she's okay. I really want to see her

He says with a small frown on his face appearing on his face, It was clear that he seemed to be worried about his mother's wellbeing, he really wanted the chance to actually get to see her someday, Noticing this. Zeke looked over his sides as he sighs before shaking his head and placing a hand on Marshall's shoulder

Zeke (Fractured Nexus): Tell you what, If it's okay with your father, then I'll take you to her whenever we leave. But talk with him first before anything . Okay?

Marshall slowly nodded his head, understanding the terms that Zeke had made for him to let him know, The cyborg still wasn't sure of want to think here, but, he felt like he couldn't deny at least letting the boy know something, or at least giving him a chance to actually meet her, how that will go depends on where things go from here, The two of them were soon about to get theirselves up before bug before they did anything, they could hear the door starting to draw open
