Chapter 6: Determination

Night had fallen on Adis's home planet. The stars and moon were faintly shining through the dark sky, making both Joshua
and Adis uneasy. No matter how far they looked, destruction had befallen the entire planet. The main civilization had been destroyed, buildings had
been reduced to rubble, corpses filled the streets, to both of thier dismay, only a few pieces of robots were found. The city musn't have stood a chance.

"This is horrible...innocents slaughtered...The ones who have fallen seem to be the only ones here..." Joshua said sadly.

"..."

Exlposions erupted from some of the machines that were destroyed, the dark sky above seemed to smother everything in a blanket
of darkness. Something...was heard from the disturbing scene...Crying? Adis headed towards the noise, while Joshua followed, checking for any signs of
life, to no avail. A large pile of rubble had blocked thier path, but the cries could be heard from behind it. Joshua stepped forward. He moved his left hand forward, lifting the debris into
the air, then moving it aside, he placed it gently down on the ground.

"W-What?!" Adis exclaimed.

In the center of the fallen rubble was a young toddler. It had a silver hair on it's head, a small green t-shirt and black shorts. It looked up at them and stopped crying.

"A...Are you my mommy...? W-Where...am I...? Is...this my home?" he asked.

Adis kept quite before Joshua looked at the baby and thought for a few seconds, then he crouched down besides the baby and looked at him.

"We can't just leave him here. If we do, he'd surely die. He must have been trapped here for some time. But...he's not even scratched. Not a graze on his body...Maybe I
could try talking to him..." Joshua suggested.

He looked down at the toddler and pulled a funny face. It looked up at him, confused, before he saw Adis shaking her head.

"...You have no idea how to communicate with a child, do you...? Let me try..." Adis sighed.

She crouched down besides him and tickled him under the chin. He chuckled, streching his arms out towards Adis and Joshua. It appeared he
was very happy. Joshua picked him up and threw him gently into the air, before catching him. The baby laughed before it reached out towards Adis and nuzzled against her.

"...Looks like he thinks your his mom. He's fallen asleep now..." Joshua whispered.

A small rumbling could be heard in the distance. A nearby skyscraper fell to the ground, metal tearing into the road, glass shattering, rocks crumbling. Behind it was
a large robot with two large flails for arms, saws buzzing around it's head.

"Hmmm...This looks new...looks like Robotnik has made a few improvments..." Joshua muttered.

"Yes...But this was not all his doing. See the marks on the side there? It looks like it was made by...Devan Shell..." Adis pointed out.

Joshua drew his swords, before twirling them around to make them into a double-ended sword. Joshua tightly held the hilt of the weapon, before he threw it
at the robot. It spiraled through the air, cutting through the armour, but two lasers shot out of the eyes, causing the weapon to stop and return to Joshua's hands. A flail crashed into
the ground in front of him, creating a large, gaping hole.

"Wuh...Big...Wobot...Me help!" the baby gurgled, waking up.

He leapt out of Adis's arms and ran past Joshua, before it raised a small dagger into the air. The dark clouds vanished, as a shining object came hurtling down
from space. A twinkling star, glowing brightly. It crashed into the robot, causing light to envelope it, before it died down...when it did, there was nothing left
of the robot except scrap metal.

"I did good! Didn't I, Doshuwa? Huh? Did I do good?!" the baby yelled, reaching for Joshua.

"...You...You did that...? Woah...How...did you know my name...?" Joshua asked.

"I heard it...when I was westing. I was gaining back powah. I always cood do dat. I'm special...My name is Edward..." he said.

Adis stopped staring and picked up Edward and tickled him.

"He...He isn't helpless...That...power...how could he...?" Adis asked.

Joshua shook his head.

"I don't know. We'll find out sooner or later. Edward can sit in my backpack. He should fit quite well." Joshua suggested.

Edward had fallen asleep again, snuggling against Adis.

"Babysitting...? We better move. More of those robots could be still coming. The others aren't here...they must be on another planet...but...where...?" Adis asked.

Joshua closed his eyes and snapped his fingers. A twinkle appeared in the sky and caused a large ship to fly down towards them.

"We'll find out. C'mon! My J-Wing will help us find them!" Joshua yelled.

As Adis looked back at the city and forest, she nodded.
