Nanomachines: Story Three

(I would like to thank Hero Forever for helping me for....the millionth time :P Well I hope you enjoy the story and if you don't, sorry.)

Todd stood atop a a tall rock that loomed over the trees of the forest. He cupped his hands and called out, "Philip!" Elsewhere Johanna was with others in the search party, calling out Philip's name. The police, a vast number of the citizens, and surprisingly Susan, the femal nanomachine hivemind, were looking everywhere they could, the forest now being the last place they were looking.

Todd floated above where no one could see, past the cresent moon, looking down, trying to hopefully see Philip from the hieght to no anvil. Johanna was still calling out Philip's name. Susan slithered up to her. "I checked inbetween the cracks in the rock Todd was on, no sign of him." Todd quietly landed behind them, "Can't find him with a bird's eye view." Johanna asked, "Where could he be? It's not like him to just up and leave like that."

"The last time I saw him was a few weeks ago, when he helped fill in for me." Todd whispered to Johanna. It was the crack of dawn when the head of police told them all that the search is over, and the police were now looking for bodies. "Oh no." Susan said sadly (A/N:Aliteration for the win!) Todd sighed, as Johanna muttered, "Rune isn't going to like this." Todd the grabbed Susan's shirt, their truce now over, and demanded, "Where does Elliot live?"

Elliot and Victoria were barely awake when they saw Todd looming over them, his fist lit up with energy. "To what do I owe the unwanted intrusion?" "I need you to bring me to Belladore."

"How do you propse he does that?" asked Victoria, holding the blanket close to her. "Loosen the dimensional threads here and near Belladore, it should act as a portal between the two worlds." answered Todd. Elliot yawned, "Can't you just fly there?" "No, I can't leave a fly past Earth's atmosphere." Elliot groaned, "Fine...let me get a shirt on..." Todd then snapped, "Just do it from bed!" Elliot yawned again, as a hole opened up. "There, that should get you to Belladore." "Thanks." Todd said, walking through the hole.

Elsewhere on Earth, a scientist noticed that Project Legion's head just moved. "Its beginning to work Dr. Vandof." Vandorf, the creator of Project Legion, said to the silvery, featureless humanoid, "Good Morning Legion. Can you speak?" Legion, as it was called, answered, "Yes, I can talk." Vandorf smiled. It seemed that its evolution did give it an edge over the original concept.

Originally Leigon was to be an obedient blob of grey-goo, but now, it can be used to distract gunmen, due to their instinct to attack humaniod targets. and it can manipulate its form to become anything, and it could communicate with the scientists if something was malfunctioning. "Ready for a test run?" asked Vandorf. Legion nodded.

Todd steped out of the portal and found himself planets away from Earth. As soon as he steped out he heard the portal close. "I hope Rune can give me a lift to Earth." Todd went into the city and asked the nearest man, "Hey do you know where a young woman named Rune is? About yea big, reddish hair, kinda cute, maybe depressed..."
