The Silver Mutants left at dusk, and shortly before dawn were approaching the outskirts of Central City. Team number one, led by Mogg himself, entered the first dwelling, and the screams of the mirror people occupants reverberated through the night as they were virtually eaten alive. The other teams entered the next houses in teams of two. The teams would slaughter the occupants, eat them & confiscate any weapons they found. Many automatic weapons were seized, as the people were all taken by surprise. There were roughly a hundred teams on this first raid.

The trip back to camp was uneventful except for the squabbling over the remaining bones, which was all that was left of their victims. Later that day, upon their return, they were treated as conquering heroes. Zoe personally congratulated each and every Silver mutant as they reached the camp.

Zoes once again summoned all of the mutants to "The Stump" for a victory celebration. When I arrived I noticed the Yellow mutant who had snickered at Zoe, was picking up trash in the purple section of the camp ironically located near the Stump. I questioned him about his new duty, and he replied, "How are you my friend? My name is Lukk. Zoe has assigned me this duty, & after this I am to clean the port-a-johns. I am also expected to be the camp messenger."

I found his name ironic & remember remarking to Bela, " Lukk must be his last name and his first is Bad." Bela rewarded me with that captivating laugh that she did after we made love for the first time, and it seemed like it was only yesterday.

Zoe once again stood on his stump, clapping his hands, which everyone there responded to with instant silence. Zoe commanded & gained the respect of all present.

"Fellow Mutants!" he exclaimed just after seizing another bug out of midair, with his flicking tongue, revealing the sharp double rows that seemed like all canine teeth.. Smacking his lip tastefully he continued, "I would like to extend a heartfelt congratulations to the Silvers on the first successful raid against the mirror people. Several weapons were seized and will be utilized in subsequent raids against the mirror people. I think a follow up raid must be in the cards for our opponents."

A few minutes went by in silence. which seem like an hour as Zoe scanned the crowd in an obvious attempt to garner volunteers. His face rested in a direct stare at me. I found myself volunteering for the next raid. Blag slapped me on the back and claimed he would serve as my First Lieutenant. Zoe met with me shortly after to fill me in on the details.The raid was to take place tomorrow evening. Bela took my hand and led me back to camp. It was obvious to all that she was proud of her man. She held her head high in the air with her anteater shaped nose pointed straight up. I wondered if I would measure up.
