CRASH! The window shattered. Then a wall blew in. Clancy jumped up and fired a few shots through a smashed window. They had been trapped in there for three days now and they were running low on food and water so they had to make every shot count.

The back packs had a clip for a gun and inside were mini apartments for Lightning, Eco and Rex. Three commando class lizards who all had implants that gave them the ability to speak and were trained to fight as well as be good friends and companions.
"we better get moving" said Clancy. Just then a truck roared up the road "Oh no" said Gus as the truck stopped. BAM BAM BAM "DUCK" shouted Lightning as they heard the bullets bounce off the concrete. WHAM nets flew through the air and fell over them. As they were pulled back an electric pulse raced through the nets and it all went black.
When they came round they were lying on the floor of the truck still in the nets Sandy started to struggle. Clancy shouted "where are we?" Then the truck flipped...
