The Time for Ten - Chapter 1
Six and I, both holding up Nine, slide onto the frozen water, and I spread the ice using my new legacy. Since it is so hot out, the ice behind us melts. We keep skating until it's dark out. We pull off into the forest and Six puts Nine on the ground. I feel the icy sensation returning to my hands, and I place them on Nine's injuries. In his half awake state he cringes and moans, but slowly starts to mend and then eases of into a calm sleep.
"Lets let him take a nap... I think we could use a breather," Six suggests.
That's when I break down. I can't control my feelings for what just happened. Nine broke Five's last straw, and Eight sacrificed himself to save him. Another one of my loved ones gone. First Adelina, then Hector, and now Eight. It's just not fair! I roll up my pant leg and rub my new scar. I will do anything to have Eight back, I think to myself.
"Marina? I have something I need to show you," Six says as she holds out the steel and rubber balls that Five owned.
"You got them?" I say in amazement while holding back tears.
"When you summoned the icicles, the balls were on the ground behind you. I picked them up, and now he's left without a legacy," She replies.
"Your amazing, Six," I say.
We wait at that spot till daylight, and then we wake Nine. We shake him until he jumps up.
"Where's Five?" He asks me angrily, then in a more worried voice, "Where's Eight?"
I look down at my feet. When I look up again, I try to speak but nothing comes out. Six turns him around.
"You provoked Five to his breaking point, and when he tried to kill you, Eight sacrificed himself. Eight's dead, Nine, and we can't do anything about it," Six explains.
Nine sits against a tree and puts his head in his hands. Then he looks up at me. He stands up and hugs me really tight. "I am SO sorry."
I sob more onto his shoulder until Six pulls us apart, she looks slightly questioning. "Lets go get a car and get out of here," She says with a glare at Nine. "You still have that credit card, right?"
Nine pulls a credit card out of his pocket and hands it to her.
"Perfect..." She says in response as she walks north.

Three hours later, we are in a yellow two door jeep with the roof off. Six is driving and asks me to put up her hair, and then Nine hands me a pair of scissors.
"I want it short, so it doesn't get in my eyes anymore," He says firmly.
I look at him confusedly but do what he asks. Five minutes later, Nine has a buzz-cut and is looking cleaner than normal. Now would be a good time to mention we bought new clothes.
"I like it," Six starts. "It adds a new flavor of intimidation."
Nine and I chuckle. "Where are we headed to?" I ask.
"West Virginia. I have a feeling that if they were attacked in Chicago and destroyed our base, John will want to destroy theirs," Six explains.
I nod my head in agreement and then lay my head down on Nine's lap to rest. He doesn't complain since he is already asleep too. I start to doze off as we speed down the highway, toward our next fight to the death. This next fight is for Eight, I think to myself. We will destroy their base and get the chests back, along with any creatures left to defend us, to defend Lorien.

"Marina! Help, now!" Six screams as I hear guns firing around us. But those aren't any normal gun sound, they're Mog blasters.
I sit up and take in my surroundings. There are three cars on our tail, flanking us. There is also one car hurtling toward us at ninety miles per hour. I slam into it with my telekinesis but don't have enough strength to stop it completely.
"Jump to the cars behind us!" I yell while shaking Nine awake. He sees what's happening and makes the leap.
"Those are Mogs too!" Six screams as a horrible cry of pain comes from Nine. He flops to the ground and rolls down the hill on the side of the highway. That's when the car hits us.
We should've blown up. We should've died. Two more scars should've shown up on Nine, John, and Ella. Those things didn't happen because Six found a new legacy just in time. Six can create forcefields. The whole area around us goes up in a massive mushroom cloud. Six and I drop to the ground, with Six powered out and me stunned, we can't do much. I reach over and use my healing power as a recharge. Six grabs my hand and turns us invisible, and then we run to Nine. I plop down and start to heal him right away, putting all I can muster into it. He has a half circle shaped whole on his side and is passed out. The icy feeling creeps through my arms to my fingertips, and Nine's injury starts to close up. Finally the healing is done, and his eyes start to flutter open.
"What just... duck!" Nine says alarmingly as he rolls farther down the hill.
Six and I turn around to see five Mogadorians standing at the top of the hill, guns raised and pointed at us.
"Didn't make it to far... Now it's time for you to join Number Eight." The lead Mog shoots a blast at my, which I easily deflect with my telekinesis.
They can fight us and be mean, but the second the make fun of Eight is the last straw for me with them. I scream loudly and thrust both my hands towards them, causing a giant ball of ice to speed toward them at seventy miles an hour. It plows through the middle of the group and kills two Mogs, while leaving one dazed and on the ground. I look behind me to see Nine starting to circle up behind the three Mogs still left. As I look back, everything seems to go in slow motion. I hear a cannon blast, and hear Six scream, "No!" I feel her jump in front of my, and then back on top of me as she takes the blast herself. She grabs my hand and we turn invisible. I drag her a bit away so they don't know where we are.
"Why did you do that?" I ask Six frantically.
"You're the healer! If you got to hurt to heal, we would be in trouble. I can hold until the end of the fight. Go kill those assholes," She says with as much of a smirk as she can handle.
I smile and turn around to see Nine crouched behind some metal wreckage. I nod slightly to him and he does so back. Suddenly a clear blue shield appears in front of me. I look back to see Six holding one hand toward me, and another next to her. This gives us a forcefield shield. Not for long, she mouths to me. I nod. Then I charge to the cluster of Mogs. Before I reach them, a loud crash comes from behind me. Everybody turns to see a tree falling down, and there are two people in their mid-twenties behind it. The guy has glowing fists, and the girl has a ball of fire in his hands.
"Hi Six, Seven, and Nine. We are Eleven and Twelve. Are we too late to join the party?" The guy asks with a grin.
I just stare with my mouth open. Then I close it and smile. I guess we aren't as weak as we thought, I think to myself, and turn to the Mogs again.
