Hiezen: Guess I'm one of the vanguard…

Alias: You used one of your vocabulary words…I'm proud….

Hiezen: aaahhhhhhhh…ok…

Disclaimer- I don't own the Secret Saturdays…I do own Naomi and Shuriken.

o. NEW ASSIGNMENT .o

Naomi's POV

I stared into the water in the basin in front of me; my amber brown eyes reflected no emotions. The breeze coming from the window ruffled my short white hair.

"Uh, Naomi…Van Rook wants to talk to you," Doyle's expression showed fear, fear as if the small eleven year-old girl would bite his head off.

I sighed and I ignored Doyle and went straight into my adoptive father's office.

"Well, about time you got here," my fathers face was blank, "I have a little assignment for you, your lizard, and your powers," a smile began to form on his lips.

"Dad…" I hesitated, "what kind of assignment?' he glared at me.

"An extraction," oh no I knew that look, "you'll be retrieving an artifact from the Saturday house," what after all he said to me about how the Saturday's were dangerous he was sending me right into the 'enemy' territory.

"Don't worry, I wouldn't worry, you're taking your overgrown lizard with you," I guess he saw the panic painted on my face, " do you really think I'd risk another girl to Doc?"

We both chuckled.

o. Outside .o

"Awww, but dad you said it was just me and Shuriken," I patted the big black dragon next to me.

"When I said 'I wasn't going to loose another girl to Doc' I meant it," his choice was set and he wasn't going to budge.

"Daaaaaaaaad….Doyle is scared of me!" the whole tantrum seemed like a good idea.

"You don't want to retrieve the fire sword, fine, I'll just go myself," he began to march to our garage where we kept the airship.

"No, no, dad, Shuriken, Doyle, and I can handle it," I sure wasn't going to miss this opportunity.

If I may? I belief you said Naomi's powers would be necessary, right?

"Yeah, dad, Shuriken is right, how do my powers come into this?" father had always tried to keep me a secret. Especially when dealing with Argost.

"From what Doyle told me…." His voice trailed off.

"Uh, dad?" he was hiding something!

"Doyle is just going with you as a precaution, okay?" uhgggg, he wasn't even going to warn us!

o. Saturday House .o

How are we going to get through? There's a force field of some sort around the whole perimeter of the house!

"Relax, Shuriken, I have an idea," I sat cross-legged on Shuriken's saddle, I began to meditate.

That is supposed to help us how?

"Try going through the force field now," our own force field pushed against the one surrounding the house. The shield gave way to a small entry way.

"Oh, crud!" I looked up to see Doyle right under the Saturday airship.

Little one it is time we make haste!

As soon as I opened my mouth to reply, I noticed Shuriken was diving straight for the Saturday home..
