Sprinting through the icy landscape, knowing his next destination.

Just in time. The excavation of the double a temple has already begun. Hopefully I'll find what I need.

I went to the altar and found the solar collector our legends where always talking about...

On the way back through the pole I wished for a hearty meal as I felt hungrier than ever before.

The hunger turned to sadness as I realised I can't even eat food... (since I am a battery you know) And now that I got that solar thing I need to figure out what to do with it.

After I leaned onto a button a hidden passage opened. I chose to enter..

Going through tunnels over tunnels and passage after passage. I finally got lost in that huge complex. And not a single soul is there as well.

Strange, huge rocks are blocking the path I felt the wind coming from, I can even see the daylight shining through...

Suddenly a huge explosion blew the rocks away and everything broke apart, I somehow wasn't hurt at all.

Quickly I jumped into the helicopter hoping to get away from wherever I was. My heart stood still in the moment of the jump. Maybe this helicopter came for me.

The helicopter was manned by my kind, they have seen my on my way back and wanted to rescue what was left of the AA+ Shrine. They said their fuel won't be enough to go back to the town. So we'd need to stop somewhere beforehand.

Sitting there in the helicopter made me think... I didn't know what to do next, yes I've gotten the artifact but what was it good for? The pilots of this helicopter don't know anymore about it than the old stories and legends about limitless energy.

Scared I stood there the sirens relentless wall of sound almost paralysed me. I was preparing to die.

The alarm was the fuel at its limit, the pilots tried to go down immediately and crash landed in a tree. Luckily none of us were harmed.

Late into the night we sat around the campfire and took a break. We talked about everything about our kind, the lesser one way batteries. And about the higher beeings of the rechargeable batteries. We talked about legends and myths and we talked about the artifact. Of which the little plate inside is still spinning just so calming. The idea came into our mind that the old connectors could maybe be used to charge batteries of our kind, but none of us where to sure to try it. Especially since every double A battery who charged itself died a slow and painful death.

I needed to arrive at our kings palace as fast as possible,fastest route was straight through the marshland. The pilots gave me a broken sword, since it's the best thing they could give me for wandering through the dangerous marshland. They themselves needed to stay with their broken helicopter.

In the midst of the swamp a Frog like creature attacked me with furious swings! It tried to smash my weapon out of my hand unlike any combat move I've seen before. This swamp is dangerous for a reason it seems...

As he ripped my sword out of my hand I loosened my grip in a way the sword would hit the attacker. I used that chance to run away and escape as fast as I could. I just hoped I was running into the right direction.

The ground suddenly lifted rapidly into the air, scared I cowered onto the ground. The moment I looked up I saw a floating island of some sort and something what looked like an entrance. Is that where I was beeing brought?!

Squeezing myself through something that looked like a entrance, I really questioned what was going on here... Maybe I was called by some sort of higher society that lives in the clouds, but why would everything be so in ruins?

The thin crack opened up to a huge Temple and ruins of something that used to be a city... Everything looks long forsaken and there was no sign of life to be seen anywhere.

As I walked into the temple a little battery stood infront of me, not my kind but a kind though to be extinct long ago. He said something that I couldn't understand, but he seemed surprised in a good way. Almost like as if he had been waiting.

The little guy took me to an elevator which turned very slowly and since we couldn't really communicate, it got awkward really quickly. At least we didn't get dizzy from all the spinning.

After we finally reached the bottom floor a strange sight appeared right infront of me. 12 Soldiers standing there as if they where waiting for me or someone.

We entered a throne room where their king was standing on the throne... Maybe not to fall asleep because he looks tired. He didn't seem to care about our presence.

He opened up a box, without saying a word. Not beeing able to see what's inside, something felt off... He was staring at me waiting for me to get closer.

I went closer to the box. Surprised I stood there, a floating creature unlike anything I have ever seen came out of the box. It seemed to react to me. Or to be more precise, to the AA artifact.

The king told us that with the artifact and this beeing, we could achieve strength far superior to the rechargeable batteries. As soon as we where connected we both went up in flames, short circuit or not my life was slowly draining. I knew it was only moments before I would die.

A jolt of energy went back into my body. Feeling different, stronger, limitless. I seemed to have transformed into a whole new beeing. Ready to take on the re:fleet. Not knowing what effect this will have on my body, but I already have accepted death.

With the new gained powers I flew over to the attacking fleet, and wrecked all their ships. Not quite understanding what mistake I had made, but for now we don't need to worry about raids and confrontation.

After that all happened I turned back to normal, but something or better said, someone has left my body. A little fella looking like some sort of good willed spirit unlike what I had fused with beforehand. I had made a friend in the end. The End.
