Chapter 1 – The Rescue

(by FieryJunior1 aka ME!)

FJ is in a jet, 10,000 ft from sea level | FJ's POV

Ten thousand feet above sea level, a white jet was flying over the US. The only person in the jet was a girl with brown skin, and big dark brown eyes. She has her long black hair tied in a ponytail, like how she always does. She was in a red shirt and her favorite checkered violet pants. She was also wearing her favorite sneakers and white lucky socks. This was no mission to turn back from, especially from a Lucian leader. She was checking her GPS.
"Hmm...So we're almost there. About an hour from now I'll be at Amy and Dan's. I'll lower myself down a little." she said while lowering her plane's altitude to 5000. "Good thing I escaped from those Vespers. Or else the entire family would be in even greater danger."
"Yes, I know. I'm still so proud of you, my orchid." a man's voice suddenly says. She looked around from where it was coming from, but it was actually from her Lucian communicator, a flatscreen TV that is specially designed for communication from any point in the world. She dropped her mouth in utter shock. "Uncle Vikram? Is that really you?"
"Of course, FJ, who else would actually call you 'an orchid'? Me, of course." Vikram Kabra says, laughing a little.
"Uncle! You know I almost died of grief back there! You acted like Alistair!" she shouts, putting special empasis on the words 'died of grief'.
"I know, I'm sorry. It must be done. You know I was a superb agent back in the day." he puts in.
"Uncle, don't be too much of a show-off. Maybe that's where your son got the sarcasm." she replies teasingly. They both laugh and bade each other goodbye.
"O my gosh! He's alive!" she shouts happily and starts to dance around. "Agent FJ, there is a disturbance down below.' the GPS interrupts.
She puts her serious face on and says to her GPS (named Richard), "Good. Please show me."
The GPS shows of 10 boats with the Vesper insignia in them, chasing a boat full of orange-jumpsuit wearing people. "Madam, these seem are the hostages who escaped, as your research indicates." It zooms in the boat being chased. They were the hostages, with Fiske driving the boat blazingly fast.
"Richard, lower the jet and handle the controls, we're on a rescue mission." she orders her GPS/co-pilot Richard, a robot that can control the plane when ordered to. "Yes ma'am." he says.
Agent FJ then runs to the door, opens it, and as the jet, Vikram, was being lowered to the hostages' escape boat, she braced herself to jump. She grabbed her tranquilizer gun and some explosives and threw herself out the door.

Natalie was holding on for dear life | Natalie's POV
"Uncle Fiske, I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but we SERIOUSLY NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!" I shout over the rushing wind, splashing waves and the firing of guns right at us.
"Natalie, we're already at full throttle! How are we supposed to outrun 10 shooting Vesper boats?" Fiske shouts back.
Natalie calmed down. For a little bit. I looked around at the boat. Phoenix was holding onto me, while I was holding on to the railing. Ted (or is it Ned?) was beside Nellie, helping her at least to sit up and hang on. Alistair, Reagan and Evan were holding onto each other, trying to believe what was happening. Then I looked at Evan. Hmm...he looks so cute behind those goofy glasses though. I thought. What was I thinking? Eww...I can't believe he's Amy's already. Poor Ian. I think he's going to have an even harder time with it. "Um, Natalie, is it?" Evan says. I shake my head, trying to forget what I just thought. "Yes. What?" I snap back. "I knew it. You do look just like Ian," he points out. "You know, for a little bit." I blush. Ugh! He's Amy's! What am I trying to do? Am I losing myself again?
"Guys, we seriously need a miracle here." Nellie says, trying to muster all the courage that she can. Then, as if on cue, a girl with a helmet on her head jumps on the boat and suddenly throws explosives at the Vesper boats. All of the boats explode, sweeping us up in a wave. He looks at me, and nods. I try to say, "Thank you, whoever you are." I say. But then, a boat chases us through all the smoke. "Vespers!" Evan shouts.
Wow, who is this girl? So confident, so deadly...wow...I wish I was like her right now. Then, he takes off her helmet. The 'he' is actually a 'she'! Wow, what would she come up next, call Ian and the others here? Ugh, I sound those very corny narrators at those cheap stunt shows. I really have lost my mind.
She pulls a tranquilizer gun and shoots the Vespers, still stunned at what happened back there. She lights up a flare, then a red light forming a snake head suspends itself in the air. "You're-" I say in full shock. "a Lucian, yes. I am here to help you." She whistles and a white jet comes down, with its door open. She shouts at Fiske and she manuvers (sp?) the boat exactly inside the jet's door.
All of us were astounded on how this girl saved us. Then I looked at her...wow. She looks like Ian as a girl, though she is maybe taller than him by a few. "Um...thanks for saving us back there, whoever you are." I say to her. She smiles at me, and that made me remind of Isabel, when she was showing me around the mall when I was just very young. "Sure, Natalie, this is what Cahills do, right?" she says, sweeping her long black hair behind her back. The others just cheered, Fiske even shakes her hand and everyone else patting her in the back. I watch her, blushing from everyone's expressions of thanks. Then, she tends to Nellie's wound and flies the jet toward the command center.
I wonder what would everyone think of her? Hmph...Ian might be jealous that a girl like her actually saved us all from being captured again. I thought. Maybe Hamilton would be a little jealous of a girl driving a boat that good. Or Dan, being that she was a little ninja-like when she entered the boat like that. Wow, she's already a magnet. I wonder who trained her... I thought as we cruise on safely towards Attleboro.

The promised story in the MB, is now here on ! We (meaning me and WolfStorm102 aka Dani) do alternate parts on the story, as we agreed.

I do the part for the newbie agent while WolfStorm does the parts for the Cahills...

Er...I know. I should cut it from Marienne's POV, but I got a little excited and tensioned (is it a real word) with writing it on the MB since I started it.

Merry Christmas, btw...
