- The CyberWarrior was running at a far more leisurely pace than he
- had been before, to conserve the precious energy that he had collected
- He was looking for any of the rest of this new group that he'd
- apparently joined in the last half-day or so. A strange and motley crew
- indeed, with all kinds of folk iin it. But who was he to judge, he a
- CyberWarrior from another Realm. Ah, Telrir.
- This brought back a flood of memories of his homeworld.
- The smell of spring, the chill of winter, the feel of a grav-pad
- flying through the air, with you controlling it. The College and the
- Academy where the CyberWarriors learned the ways of war, and also the
- ways of peace and understanding.
- His friends, Tarn, Komi, Zack, all of them now dead. Ah the good old
- days.
-
- He found that he could not help remembering the Final War with the
- terrible Horde, driven by an unknown force. He had witnessed the
- destruction they had caused to fair Telrir. He had escaped barely
- through a chance of fate, to this world, never to return home.
- Max had wondered if he was the only one to have lived through the
- holocaust, or if any Horde-servants had followed him through.
- He turned a corner.
-
- Wham!!!
-
- The CyberWarrior was up against the wall, where he had been thrown by
- a huge humanoid, at least 9 feet tall.
-
- "Me Tragg. You give money NOW!!!"
- Max's first instincts took over.

- /Acknowledged\
-
- Max's pistols came out of their holsters in one very quick fluid
- motion. He pointed them at the ogre.
-
- "Back off, Bannen-face or I'll blow your head off!!"
-
- "Huh! Huh! Don't scare me wizard!!"
-
- The ogre lunged rather haphazrdly at Max, who dodged easily.
- The ogre turned around, as Max was behind him.
-
- "C'mere ya little runt"
-
- A fist came swinging through the air at the CyberWarrior's head.
- He ducked, and ran under. He was behind the Ogre again.
-
- "I'm gonna plaster ya!!!"
-
- Max decided he did not really want to learn the meaning of that last
- phrase, and shot the ogre once in it's left leg.
-
- "AAAAHH!!!"
-
- There was a severely smoking patch on the ogre's leg. It collapsed in
- an instant, screaming about it's leg.
-
- "Me leg!! Me leg!! Ya Bastard!!"
-
- Max turned to leave.
-
- "Hold it riiiight there, friend ", said a small figure, about 3'3"
- in height and the same in width.
-
- "Who are you, little man ?" asked Max incredulously.
-
- "Shuddup! I got a message for you and your friends ..."
-
- It was at that exact moment that 'Chip appeared behind the halfling.
