Robert sent Adam and Sherri back to their room, escorted by the two AN-9 robots. Down the long corridor to the huge showroom, the red laser points remained on Sherri’s back, giving Adam pause on implementing any escape plans he may be contemplating. But that didn’t mean he did have one.

As the small entourage passed through the wide portal and into the main cavern, Adam was already well within the process of gathering up a wind storm using his newly discovered skill at telekinesis.

Sherri felt the wind rush across her face as the air was sucked past her to form up in a ball to her right. She looked over at Adam and frowned.

What are you doing? she asked telepathically.

Getting us out of here. I just don’t know how much force it’s going to take to destroy the robots.

Then maybe you should—

Her thought was cut off when Adam raised his right hand to innocently scratch the back of his neck…before sweeping his arm down and across his body, directing a near-solid torrent of air at the two automatons behind them. To his surprise, the robots were swept across the floor in a blur and smashed against the rock wall on the opposite side of the room. The force was so great, that in the split second before rock fractured and half the ceiling caved in, Adam saw the AN-9’s as just foot-wide pancakes of bent and sparking metal.

But now they had to contend with the cascade of stone falling fifty feet away. They were thrown to floor by a mini-earthquake, just as a dense cloud of dust and debris billowed towards them. Adam rolled on top of Sherri, his body now in full mutant mode. A few of the leading stones slammed into his back, but he shrugged them off with indifference. When the cloud began to thin, he jumped to his feet, Sherri held against his body by an impossibly strong right arm.

“You ready?” he asked.

Her face was so close to his that her eyes had to cross to focus on his mouth and the words she just heard. She was dazed by the rumbling around her and the thick dust filling the room.

“Ready for what?”

Adam ran off for the force field covering the hundred-foot-wide opening, which was still in operation in spite of half the ceiling crashing to the floor. Sherri was now cradled like a sack of potatoes in Adam’s right arm. He sprinted through the force field and onto the wide, circular platform outside. The frigid temperature was a shock, colder now from the early onset of nightfall. Adam was nearly to the edge of the balcony when Sherri realized what he had in mind.

“Hell no!” she cried out. “You can’t be thinking about—”

Adam raced to the edge of the platform and jumped off, sticking his left arm out in front of him—Superman-like—as the pair fell into the frigid dark of the four-thousand-foot high cliff outside the Klin fortress.

Adam pulled Sherri closer and rolled to his left, with his back now facing the direction of the fall.
