"Why wouldn't Nine tell me that we were soon close to the base!" I thought angrily to Bernie Kosar, who was flying alongside me in eagle form.

"To stop you from doing what you're planning on doing" Bernie thought back.

We were still running back to the cabin after he showed me we were still within a few miles of the mog base camp, a fact that Nine did not tell me about. I can see why he decided to not tell me about it, but that doesn't make me any less angry. I'm sick of Nine's superior attitude.

I walk through the door and see Nine siting on the dilapidated couch.

"Hey, turned out to be another rabbit, want some?" he asks, offering me a stich with some pieces of charred meat speared on it. My stomach churns in response. The answer must have been clear on my face because he starts eating it.

"Nine," I ask, " Can you explain to me why you didn't tell me WHERE THE CUSS WE ARE!" I'm furious, I can feel my hands lighting up and I don't try to stop it.

"Oh, that's what Bernie showed you. I though you two were making out in the forest or something." He said while standing up to get my face. "So what, I didn't tell you because I didn't want you running in to play hero and getting killed. We're also here for another reason, you gunna guess?" he says while smiling at me, sure I don't know.

"What" I ask while trying to maintain the same level of anger. The lights in my hand go out, giving me away.

"We're also here so that we can see if Setrakas leaves the base in his ship" saying it slowly, like he is talking to a five year old. Then he smirked seeing the surprise on my face.

"You realize that if he leaves that means that there is a bigger problem somewhere else, probably one of us? We can't lose another Garde" I question him wondering if he thought this out our not. And also wondering weather he is completely sane.

"Yeah dude, and we'll be there, waiting so that the second he is in his ship we start throwing boulders with telekinesis. Once the ship blows up, hopefully with Setrakus inside, we run. Armies of a few hundred aren't enough to kill us, if we have our master legacy. Only Setrakus is. If we blown up his ship, he can't come and kill us. Sure, he'll get a new ship, but we slow him down. Then we get our butts the cuss out of there.

"And in the likely event that he senses us hiding in the bushes?" I ask.

"Throw a few boulders to slow him down, and run like cuss," Nine says simply

"What could go wrong" I say sarcastically

Six's POV

So here we are, bouncing along in a military transport truck. We're currently on our way to number Eight, in a rebel convoy. Commander Sharma, leader of the convoy, gave us a message from "Vishnu". Apparently the message was "I am Number Eight. Welcome to India. Please come and see me as soon as you can".

I was sitting in a comfortable silence until Commander Sharma, turned to us and said, "This trip will last a few hours. Please, do get comfortable. Help yourself to the water in the cooler by you. Don't draw attention to yourselves; don't engage with anyone. Not even to smile or nod. We're wanted"

Crayton nods.

Great, first I'm wanted with John, now with these guys too. I was thinking about all this until I asked Crayton, "So what do you think about this", gesturing to the trucks around us. "Do you think that he's really up there"

"I do. It makes sense."

"What do you mean?" Marina asked.

Then Crayton starts going on about how the people are scared of the glaciers in China, and how the locals have reported seeing aliens. Then, he said that the Chinese military couldn't investigate the claims due to a mysterious lake that blocked their path. Number Eight must be pretty powerful.

Then Ella asked, "Do you think that they're any mogs there" She looks nervous and I don't blame here.

"We'll find our soon enough" Crayton says simply. Then he wipes his forehead and says, "In the meantime, we look at marina's chest and see what there is to use"

Of course I'm happy for her that she has her chest, but I can't deny that I'm a little jealous. I was paying no attention to them until I heard Ella shout "Rocket! Rocket!"

I follow her line of vision, but I don't see anything

"Where?" Crayton yells.

"Get out of the truck! We have to get out right now!" she shouts.

"There's nothing there." I say while squinting where she was pointing. "Ella, I think that those glasses are messing with your vision, I don't see anything."

Ella doesn't listen; she opens the door and shouts "Jump".

Then I heard a whistling sound, and see a black speck come into view. Oh, crap I think. Crayton yells for us to get out and Marina goes first. Then I let Ella go. The rocket is getting to close for comfort so I push it away with telekinesis. I look around to find Crayton and see that he already jumped.

My first thought, Cuss this hurts. I rolled of the road into a ditch where I saw the others go. I start looking around when I start hearing some explosions. I see some trucks on fire and think; "well there goes the convoy."

I look down at my self and realize why I hurt. I have a gash on my right arm, and feel warmness spreading down my cheek. I touch my forehead and my finger come away bloody. I've had worse, I think. It doesn't matter, I'll find marina soon enough.

After a few seconds of running down the road I find the others. Marina is just getting done healing the others when she notices me.

"What happened, Six?" Crayton asks me.

"I stayed long enough to deflect the rocket, the jumped and got banged up."

"Okay, I thought tha-" he started to say, but was interrupted by the sound of a helicopter closing in. The winds, made by the helicopter, were strong enough that the dust on the road was stirred up.

"Run back to the convoy!" Crayton shouted over the wind.

After a few minutes of running at super speed, we made it made to the convoy. Only to find the trucks in a defensive circle, completely surrounded by a mog army that was closing in on them.

"Well this should be fun," I say sarcastically.
