In the city of Mectinya you follow by the rules: obey the guards, avoid the boundries, do the usual. Except for me. I'm Minerva head Eltrobel. That's slang for Electrical Rebel. We Eltrobels have a rule too- don't follow the rules. Most people think Dr. Camerin created us just to give the guards something to do, but really we protect Mectinya.

Ch 1.
Dusk set on the city of Mectinya as the guards closed the gates. Spencer and I waited until they were walking back towards the City Centre before we headed to the boundries. Tonight we were missioned to meet with Recelin's rebels to discuss recent terra firma conspiracies. Apparently citizens of earth have been scheming to bring Recelin's cloud down and their rebels aren't made for this problem. Luckily we Eltrobels are. See Dr. Camerin has replaced at least 1 section of our bodies with mechanically engineered parts to help give us more strength, agility and other cool stuff like hover-trons. We also have a few built in weapons not to mention, but we prefer sword combat.
"Min open up the gate." Spencer whispered so close to my ear I felt the moisture of his breath on my skin. We didn't need to whisper because no was in earshot but we always did when it was just us two. I found the secret brick in the gate and put my flesh had on it to be scanned. The cit recognized my DNA and a passage opening up in one half of the gate. Both of us slipped through and the passage closed up behind us.
"Should we hover?" I aksed as softly-if not softer- as Spencer.
"No let's walk the Reckies aren't expecting us till Midnight and it's only about ten."
he answered and with that we interlaced our fingers and walked Southeast to Recelin.
The walk was peaceful since no one on our cloud lived outside the gtaes. From our cloud luckily we wouldn't need to hover since we were sister formations with Recelin and we were connected by a bridge. This was probably our favorite part about going to Reclein. Spencer and I would just sit on the bridge and watch the stars. It is best when it's raining because you can swing your feet under the bridge and only they get wet because the rest of you is perched on top of the dry cloud. Soon enough we were standing on top of it, just us two.
Spencer kissed me lightly on the lips but embraced me strongly in his mechanical arm. He sat me down and sighed.
"What's wrong Spence?" I asked resting my head on his shoulder.
"It's just.. I don't ever want to lose you."he answered oh so seriously. It was my turn to sigh.
"E've been over this before, there's nothig any cloud or earth dwelling creature has created that can kill us. DC made sure of that, remember? Maybe the Doc shoudl work on your memory."
"But Min, what about some one else?"
"Elaborate."
"What if you find someone else and leave me?"
"UGH! This is depressing. I'll always love you. I'd be dead if I was lying. Let's talk about something else before I jump off this bridge." We laughed at this remark because I have in fact jumped off a cloud. Before I met SPencer and way before I became an Eltrobel I was jsut a depressed little suicidal orphan. I lived in the alleys of Mectinya since I was 14 and my parents died in a war down on earth. My parents and I were really close and I wanted to be a spy just like them when I grew up. When they died I decided to give up on life and jumped off a cloud. Luckily some handsome boy was windsurfing and caught me before my death wish was fulfilled. Yes, that was Spencer. A year or so later Dr. Camerin found us when we were pilfiring food for us and the other orphans and he took us away. He said he saw unusual talent in us and wanted to do experiments. We agreed and became the first Eltrobels. I know kind of boring no being held hostage or anything.
"Min," Spencer said meakly, we started walking.
"What!?"
"I'll never leave you." man was he a SAP.
"Okay, whatever. Thanks. Just be quiet now we're at Recelin.
Recelin was different than Mectinya because there was no wall secluding the city from the outside world. Recelin was probably our favorite city because we didn't have to sneak in and out of it on nights like tonight.
The Reckeis were bear the outskirts where Spencer and I entered. They led us up onto the roof of a vacant building so we wouldn't be seen or heard.
"To you fresh rebels who don't know, this is Minerva and Spencer head Eltrobels of Mectinya. They are here to help with the recent terra firma conspiracy." annouced Kalianna one of the head Reckies. She sat down on the ledge of the roof precariously.
"So any news about what the earthlings are planning to do to Recelin?" I aksed. I wanted to get this meeting over with. These Reckies weren't the liveliest group ever.
"Well according to our sources in three moons some I think Britain earthlings are gonna try and send up their army to inspect Recelin...and possibly Mectinya." Kalianna looked at me cautiously when she said that. Of course the Mectinya thing threw me off guard but I wasn't worried. Our city was more protected that Recelin.
"So do these Britain people have weapontry?" Spencer asked.
"Not like you Eltrobels." Kalianna replied.
"Oh so we'll be fine than? he spoke as confidently as I felt.
"No their weapontry is bigger."
