Zombies from the Sky: Sixty-One

New Episode

Two 20.1[20]{64}

The Isle Citadel was no longer being attacked as its new defensive phase shield bubble came fully into effect. The preparations for such, ironically, had started long before the more recent troubles had begun, but delays had occurred. While the PSB was far from perfect as a complete defence, it complimented other defensive methods well including strike teams.

Yet the PSB was not the new idea that Frankenstein had come up with which was something that he was still working on with careful haste, as he put it. Other professors were working on their own projects that might, or might not, help the faction. Frankenstein was glad to keep them away from his pet project, fearing that they might mess it up or even try to steal his ideas.

Dorothy, and Toto, were suddenly there and he turned in surprise to find Dorothy looking deep into his eyes from her fathomless depths. He found himself frozen into place, unable to speak, but only to listen deeply.

"Professor Frankenstein, so overly proud of yourself and greedy for knowledge, you are being secretly, deeply, subtly manipulated by one amongst you that normally you would never consider to be capable of doing such. Let go of your arrogance, your foolish assumptions, and unwise drive for dark knowledge. There are limits to how much we can intervene but this much we both can and must do."

Then energies flooded through him, mind-body-spirit.

When Professor Frankenstein awoke he was not as angry, or upset, as he once would have been. Instead he quietly, patiently, began to dismantle the project to start it again with the assistance of two 'comrades'; they also had been visited by Dorothy Toto and he knew that he could trust them now, could respect them, just as they could do him.

The others, the 'cronies', would be worse of a problem than he had previously thought because at least three were traitors, though not working together, and one was the puppet-follower of the one that had been manipulating him; he did not fully know who that was, yet, but had some very reliable leads.

It helped when his people found the big stockpile of gifts including knowledge, devices, equipment, supplies, and some very special devices.

You've written in your ZEN style for so many years. Why did you conclude the last story parts were not suitable? It's not like you.

[Maharg67]

Pagafyr, I wrote the same situation twice but differently making out the same characters etc. to be different. So I had to go, reasonably enough, with the first version. As a writer I find it a displeasure to have to get rid of writing and making foolish mistakes (I only checked things properly after the mistake was made) did not help matters. Zen like writing is good but so is proper continuity! Thanks for the feedback!

 

PS: I replaced the mistake with a cute doggy picture to help make people feel better; isn't that wonderful?"

Zombies from the Sky: Sixty-Two

New Episode

Two 21.1[21]{65}

Dorothy, and Toto, slept inside a big dome shaped altered cave chamber filled with softly glowing white light that seemed to come from the very air itself. When people had first entered the domechamber they found that they learned something about the pair such as that they were actually named after a mortal human girl and mortal male canine who had perished at sea when a U-boat submarine had sunk a refugee ship. The mortal pair had been named after characters in the novel called the Wizard of Oz. The new pair were living-gods serving, following, what were known as the LordLadies of the Balances.

The Oracle stepped into the white glowing chamber and studied the sleeping pair. She was alone with them, having sent all others away, and her face was twisted with a troubled expression.

The voices seemed to emerge from the very air around herself, coming from one that was many that was one.

"Who are you? What are you? Do you know the truth of yourself? Are you linked with the coming of the comet-projectiles from the sky and the undeath? Are you linked with the distortions, extreme reactions, to the undeathly invasion?"

The Oracle turned and fled quickly from the domechamber, only managing to compose herself after she left it.

I for one like dogs. I would raise them along with all the others types which we call animals in a farm sanctuary fit for us Earthlings too.

They can be like any Earthling and have any one of the five traits we call strengths for our personalities. Some can be fine looking as any and stupid as stones, while others can be ugly as sin and stupid as stones. With all sorts of physical characteristics and personalities, in between, which can be smarter by the numbers.

Zombies from the Sky: Sixty-Three

New Episode

Two 22.1[22]{66}

Waygates now linked Freedom Island's core complexes with each other, the Temple of Light, and even distant Imperial London. The last Waygate could only operate with limited time sessions and movements of who, what, could travel through it. Yet soon some people, goods, other things were moving between the two destinations. The Waygates would sometimes stop some lifeforms, items, from going through and it was seemingly impossible to know why.

The flood, of refugees, to Freedom Island was lessening as there were less to come and others had gone to places such as the Fortress Islands, the Stone Isles, and the Skylands floating high in the air above the islands. The bad news was that yet others were trapped in various places, in the Isles of Mist, or had become victims of various dark forces.

A Waygateway opened between the Oracle's Home Complex, as it was now often called, and the Isle Citadel of Professor Frankenstein and others of his faction. The Oracle communicated with her father for the first time in centuries.

The door, of the Freedom Lagoon Skytower, opened for a second time and from it came a fleet, mostly of surface ships, from the outside being made up of different elements. They were those that had entered the 'other Skytower' to supposedly escape a great storm, to have the Skytower door close upon them. Not all was the same!

Nemo, and co, appeared in his supersubmarine now holding inside a small number of aquatic 'aliens' and whales.

A former PanAxis U-boat, upgraded, slipped stealthily out of the Skytower.

So did two other infiltrators of the Freedom Lagoon.

Thus ends Chapter Two of 'Zombies from the Sky'. Chapter Three will begin soon, hopefully, defending upon various factors. Positive feedback would be appreciated.

I am considering what stories to continue with or to end permanently or even to start again in some fashion. I am even considering the combining, restarting, of two of my stories as one.
