(A/N: Okay so this is going to be short and I was just bored so I decided to post up a story. This kind of came out of the blue to me and hopefully some of you like it. Thanks!)

Mahad jerked the Hyperion's control stick up. The ship came to a complete stop so suddenly he flew forward and hit his head on the window. Cursing in pain he rubbed his throbbing head.

"Mahad!" Lena leap from the backseat and into the front. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah… I'm fine." he shook away the blurred vision that was in his eyes at the moment.

The window of the S22 that was sitting in front of them revealed a middle aged guardian who didn't look particularly happy. She spoke into the speaker harshly and cursed at them before continued the policy of stealing water from the Sphere. Mahad having beeing him foolish self didn't noitce the patroller when they had approached the water carrier they'd found.

"Now!" she glared at them both, "Are you going to give in or will I have to shoot you out of the-"

Mahad steered the Hyperion's stick to the left and shot off. They misted the S22 by inches.

Lena flew back into the back seat at the sudden jerk and moaned before pulling herself back up next to Mahad.

The guardian's face disappeared from the screen and moments later the back of the Hyperion shook rapidly as a blast from the S22 collided with it.

"You'll have to take us the hard way you son of-" Mahad jerked forward again as he spoke into the speaker for the guardian hit them yet with another blast from her ship.

"Mahad quick messing around and get us out of here!" Lena peered out the window at the advancing S22.

"Cortes!" Mahad shouted into the speaker as he turned a dial to switch to Cortes' channel.

"What is it Mahad?" Cortes' low growl boom through the speaker, though you could detect a hint of boredness in his voice.

"We ran into a guardian and can't shake her off!"

This time Cortes' voice was serious.

"Mahad stay where you are we're coming."

"That's a little hard to do when there's a S22 shooting at you!" Mahad yelled into the speaker then shut it off, not wanting to hear Cortes' next retort. "Hear that Lena! They're coming!"

"I heard it." she didn't take her eyes off the ship that was getting so close to them.

"How is she-!?" Lena didn't finish her question of how the guardian was catching up to the for the Hyperion suddenly spun to his left, avoiding a large blast of S22 energy.

"If she even as scratches this ship them I'm going to…" Mahad went off into a large amount of cuss words and threats as he twisted around to look at the guardian as if she might be able to hear him.

"Mahad!" Lena thrust her finger forward. "Watch out!" Mahad whipped his head back around and pulled the Hyperion up yet again. He missed the oncoming piece of earth that was flying toward them. Now they were flying strait up. The S22 followed and Mahad leveled back up before going any faster in a different direction.

"If Cortes doesn't get here soon…" Mahad quieted himself as a speck in the distance appeared. "What's that?"

Lena followed his gaze and stared at the, slowly growing, speck it looked like a ship.

"I think it's the S-"

"Crap!" Mahad turned the Hyperion again to his left, causing the speck to disappear.

"Mahad we need to go back and see if it is the Saint Nazaire!"

"Are you crazy?! In case you've forgotten there is a Sphere patroller on our tail, not to mention a ticked off guardian lady!"

"Mahad!" Lena glared at him and started to search the sky yet again for the speck.

The S22 sent another blast and this time in hit the Hyperion. The Hyperion started to slow down quickly, too quickly. The S22 and to jerk right to avoid running into it. Mahad took this advantage and thrust the control stick forward. The Hyperion only jerked and came to a completed stop in mid-air.

"What's wrong!" Lena yelled as she stared in horror at the S22. It was turning around to come back.

"I don't know!" Mahad pushed several buttons on the dash, when none of them did anything Mahad slammed his fist down on them as the Hyperion floated next to a small block. Cussing yet again he threw the hatch open.

"Mahad she's coming back!" Lena jumped to her feet just as the hatch flew up.

Mahad looked at the S22 that was coming closer and closer.

"Lena get down!" he pushed her into the back seat. She crouched down and watched as Mahad stepped out onto the Hyperion. His hands were raised up in surrender.

"I ought to shoot you where you stand pirate!" the woman's patroller came up next to the Hyperion. "But it would be much more a delight to see you suffer in prison!" at that she lowered her the door of the patroller and made her way out followed by two brigs. "Tell you friend to come out with her hands raised!"

Mahad glanced toward where Lena was hiding in the back seat of the Hyperion. He looked back up at the guardian more confidently. "I don't know what your talking about." he said simply.

"Don't give me this!" she screwed her face up. "I know she's in there! I saw her!"

"Well I guess your mind was playing tricks on you, there's no one here except me."

This time the woman's hands started to glow.

"Tell her to get out now, or I will shoot you where you stand."

But Mahad didn't move.

The guardian raised her hand and started to created a energy ball.

"You had your chance."

The energy ball flew from her hand just as Mahad jumped aside.

"Now Lena!" he screamed falling on his side.

Lena jumped out onto the Hyperion and sent a huge amount of energy hurtling toward the guardian and her brigs.

The brigs crumbed to the ground but the guardian block the energy off.

"So you're a seijn!" she smirked hurtling the energy Lena and thrown at her aside.

"Yes I am!" Lena's hand glowed in warning. "Let us leave!"

The woman snorted and let her arms glow brighter then before. She threw her hands up and sent a wave of energy toward Lena. Lena blocked this easily and sent another ball of energy back at the woman.

The woman jumped away from the ball that whizzed past and stared incredulously at Lena. Her lips formed a mocking smile. "Can you do this little girl!?"

Before Lena could react the woman created to extremely large balls of energy and hurtled them at her with massive speed.

Lena flew backward and off the Hyperion.

"Lena!" Mahad jumped to his feet and ran to the edge of the ship. He peered over and stared in horror as Lena was nowhere in sight, only thing that was was the several small blocks floating who knows how many hundreds of feet below them. Mahad's throat tightened as he searched the sky for his sister.

Mahad's eyes were misty when he turned around to face the guardian.

"You!" he pointed at her menacingly as he thrust himself toward her.

She raised her hand and made Mahad rise into the air.

"Maybe it'd be better if I just dispose of you here and now."

Mahad felt the energy tighten around his neck as he floated in mid-air. He gasped for breathe, trying to kick or scream anything.

He felt the energy loosen and then let go of him all at once. Mahad fell and crumbled on the ground in pain as the guardian, for some reason, turned her attention to the other side of the ship.

A loud moaning noise filled his ear as he closed his eyes tight, a loud blasting noise and then another thump was all he heard before he passed out.

--

Mahad felt himself being shook, he tried to open his eyes but when he did a blinding light was all he saw. Moaning her closed them again.

"Sorry," a familiar voice said amusingly. Mahad slid his eyelids open again. The light was off now and Cheng was standing next to him, Mahad was on a bed obviously because Cheng was at wais level now. "Are you okay Mahad?"

"Cheng?" he moaned blinking several times. "What…happened? Where's Lena?"

Cheng glanced over his shoulder and then looked back at Mahad.

"We thought you might be able to tell us."

Mahad felt his fear start to inch it's way back into him. He rolled onto his size and winced as a pain in his legs began to make it's way though his body.

"We saw you and the patroller so we got here has fast as we could, Lena was gone and you where being held in the air by that woman."

"Where is she." Mahad tried to sit up, his face only showed anger. "She'll regret the day she ever hurt Lena!"

"Calm down Mahad! We're holding her."

"But she's a seijn she'll just get out." Mahad sighed trying to stand up, he recognized Cortes' cavern immediately.

"They're watching her."

Mahad snorted and with the help of Cheng made his way out of the cevern and up to the bridge.

When he enter the talk between Wayan and Cortes fell silent Cortes only glanced at Mahad. "Good to see your awake." he nodded looking back to the front of the Saint Nazaire.

"We have to find Lena." Was all Mahad said before he had to lean up against the wall for support. "She… fell when that woman hit her." he screwed up his face even thinking about that mocking smile the woman wore when she threw those energy balls at Lena. "We have to."

"I know Mahad and we will." Cortes said, though Mahad could hear the doubt in his voice. "But we had to get away, supposedly that 'woman' sent for backup when you first encountered her." Cortes imitated the way Mahad had said it.

Wayan appeared from down below where he had been calling up to Cortes something when the first walked in.

"I'm sure Lena's alright Mahad." he reassured.

Mahad only nodded and looked out the window.

"Where are we?" he questioned. "How long will it take to get back to find Lena?"

Mahad could feel Wayan and Cortes' uneasy glances. But Cheng spoke up this time. "We had to go far to get away from the sphere Mahad."

Mahad turned back around and glared at them.

"How 'far'?"

"Fifty kilometers."

Mahad stood there and sighed with defeat when he realized there was probable no chance they would find Lena anytime soon. But they had to try.

Cortes obviously saw the determination on Mahad's face because he didn't try to argue. Instead he turned the Saint Nazaire around and headed off in the direction they'd come from.

Lena felt herself falling through nothing, the roaring of the air around her engulfed all other sounds.

Though she tried she couldn't find the energy to slow her fall. she could feel her hands glowed brightly but not enough. Lena felt herself spinning and when she finally opened her eyes she found she was looking down at a block, it was hundreds feet away. She felt herself be thrown around in the wind.

The block came closer and closer and she fell through the sky. When she estimated that she was about fifty feet from the trees she tried to focus hard on her energy, though that was hard when she could barely breathe.

She felt herself glow so bright she closed her eyes. The feeling of branches scraping her body didn't seem to distract her much, however much it hurt.

Lena opened her eyes to find herself floating maybe five feet above the ground. A soon as she saw this she immediately fell with a thump in some tall grass.

Lena moaned and rolled onto her back, not only had she used almost all the energy she could, she probably fell hundreds of feet, then hit trees. Trees?

Lena looked above her and sure enough there were trees all around. There weren't very many trees in Skyland but obviously she had landed on a block where they grew well.

Though she hurt like crazy she found the strength, somehow, to stand up. When she did she swayed several times but finally steadied herself.

Her arms were covered in scratched and she could feet a large cut on her leg. When she looked down at she found her left pants leg was ripped of from her knee down.

Lena slowly made her way out of the small group of trees and into a little field, you could see the drop about twenty feet away where there was nothing but air. When Lena looked up she could see several blocks in the distance, none of them recognizable.

Lena looked around for any trace of life but obviously this was a uninhabited block. Unless there were homes farther into the trees.

Lena decided to sit down and wait, maybe someone will pick her up? Hopefully not the Sphere, and even if Mahad or the others were looking for her she doubted the would find her soon.

So Lena laid back in the grass and let the sun warm her cut up face. The scratches stung and the energy blast that that sejin sent though her didn't help. But the sun sent more energy into her just laying in it. Slowly Lena felt herself start to off.

(So sorry it was really short and kind of cheesy, sorry. I'll post up another chapter if I get at least one review maybe, and if not then I'll know it wasn't that good and I guess I'll erase it. So I hope you liked it! Review please!) (This whole story is going to be about Lena and Mahad as you know, so I also hope I got them in character) (sorry if there are any misspellings or grammar problems)
