After all the time we spent looking for each other and finally meeting and all seven of us. Together. I was in dreamland. We could kill all the mogadorians and Setrakus Ra and it would all be over. I was wrong. We were fools for trusting five and now there is one less garde to fight the mogadorians and reclaim Lorien. The bright city lights start to fade away as we drive away from Chicago. Sarah
"We should've never split up in the first place," I blurt out.
Sarah, Sam, Malcolm and Adamus all look at me. Their faces are blank and they can't think of anything to say back. Apart from Malcolm.
"It was the logical thing to do, they were going to get Five's chest. Who would've thought Five was a traitor," He says.
Sarah joins the conversation "Now one of the garde is dead. But who?"
"I don't even want to wonder who," I say.
" I can't believe Five betrayed us and we didn't even know," Sarah says.
That's when it hits me."Sarah! D'you remember the dot in the sky was five and he said he was just flying".
"Yeah! He must've been sending information to the Mogs,"Sarah beats me to telling Malcolm, Sam and Adamus.
Then Sam realises something else, "One time, I saw Five leaving his room and he was still dressed in the middle of the night and he was shocked to see me and didn't answer my question. Uhhhh, I totally screwed up."
"Don't blame yourself Sam. He was one of us and there was no legitimate reason for him to betray us," I say then look at Adam."Wait, did you know Five was working for your kind?"
"Of course not. I wasn't like some mogadorian general or high trained scout. They wouldn't tell us less important mogs if we didn't need to know...Wait, there were some rumours about a conspiracy being kept from soldiers and even generals but I'm pretty sure it wasn't Five working for us."
"There's no point for us to carry on talking about this. We need to focus on rescuing Ella and contacting the others,"Malcolm suggests.
"Probably contacting the others first. I don't think your friends will be happy to see me," Adamus adds warily
"Yeah, especially Nine. He's gonna go mental when he sees you and if I were you, I'd be worried about Six aswell,"Sam warns and I feel
worried at what actually would happen if they met. I realise none of our fellow garde will be keen on working with an actual mogadorian. Marina and Eight would probably agree with it a lot faster than Nine and Six and that's when I realise that one of them won't get a chance to agree or disagree. I haven't really got a chance to look at my scar because of the battle with the Mogs and Adam's tense arrival but as I pull up my troousers to look at it now I realise the loric symbol of Eight scarred into my leg and even though I knew one of them is dead I still skip a heartbeat because it didn't seem real until I knew who died. Malcolm reads my mind and knows I know who died and can't stop himself from asking.
"Who was it?" He asks me.
"Eight."
The others pick up unto what I just said ans Sam is the first to react."Whoa! Eight's the one that died?"
There's a long silence that is broken by Adam. " The Mogs" He says and points at a black SUV filled with six mogs holding cannon blasters outside car windows and are aimed directly at us. "They followed us."
My mind tells me that the Mogs won't fire while were in public but it's dark and the Mogs wouldn't want us to get away again even if loads of people saw. The Mogs can tell we've seen them and take fire but Sarah turns sharply to the right and the blastfire whistles past our car and hits a section of the road in front of us and sends tarmac and cement flying out like shrapnel. The impact makes the car jolt and a piece of tarmac hits the top of our car and Sarah has to skillfully manoeuvre around a large flying piece of cement.
"We might have to fight our way out," I shout over the honking of car horns and screaming."Adam use your legacies."
Adam uses his telekinesis to deflect the mogs blastfire and tries to use his earthquake legacy but he has to stump on the ground and that would affect the car so he grabs a mog cannon and takes fire at their SUV and Malcolm does the same thing. I manage to light up my lumen and throw a fireball at the SUV. The mogs are taken by surprise and try to turn but are too late and as they turn to the right the fireball hits the SUV at the side and the car swirls out of control and hits the side of the driveway. I fire another ball to finish of the job.
"There's more!" Sam yells and points at six more black SUVs following us and a dozen motorcycles right behind
"We have to-"But before I can finish, our car gets hit again."Sarah! Stop the car! I'm gonna have to fight our way out of this."
"John! No!" She shouts and ignores me. I use my telekinesis to bring the car to a hault and open the car door and get out. All the Mogs cars are still moving. Other cars speed past me and look at me in shock. I even have to dodge a white minivan with a scared family inside. I quickly grab my red bracelet from my pocket and put it on. One mog bike speeds to me and my red bracelet expands into a force field and the mog flings off the bike and unto the road. The forcefield retracts and I use my telekinesis to throw the mog at one of there SUVs with such velocity the windscreen breaks and he crashes into a mog at the wheel and the car loses control and crashes into another one. I trow a fireball at the two cars and they both explode and the fire catches a mog on a bike and he turns to ash.
Some of the mogs start to get out of their cars and fire at me and one heads right towards me but my bracelet expands just in time. One of the mogs decides a car would probably brake the shield but the car just tips over when it hits the forcefield. I use my telekinesis to throw the car at shooting Mogs. A dozen of them are crushed and turn to ash. I
get the feeling this is all to easy and as if on cue I see a creature in flight descending to the battle. I swallow my breath when I realise it's a piken. It stops ten feet away from me and it charges at me but suddenly, the ground starts to shake and the piken trips. I look back and see Adam stomping his feet and the ground shakes again.
" Get back!" He yells and I run behind him and he shakes the ground again and the Piken can't get back up so I throw a fireball at it and it screams in agony. However, it looks like I just pissed it off and it gets back up and prepares to take flight but it's hit by a car and I realise Sarah must have drove into it. I feel an immediate feeling off worry and fear.
"Sarah! Get out!" I shout but the Piken has already gotten up and looks towards Sarah at the wheel of the car. Sarah, Sam and Malcolm quickly get out of the car and run towards me and Adam but the Piken has already taken flight and grabs Sarah and flies away.
"Sarah!" I run towards the Piken and wish I suddenly develop the legacy to fly but it doesn't happen. As I start to cry the Piken is hit by a mogadorian blaster twice and its grip on Sarah is weakening. It's hit one more time and Sarah falls. I use my telekinesis to catch her and slowly bring her to the ground but just a feet away from the floor she's hit by a blaster and convulses on the floor. I scream and throw a fireball at the half dead mogadorian on the floor and he immediately turns to ash. I run towards Sarah and look at the Piken who flies towards me instead of her. The Piken is hit by gunfire from Malcolm and Sam but it brushes it off like it tickled so I throw a fireball at it and it screams in agony and it hits the ground head first and I rush towards Sarah. As I touch Sarah the Piken is lifted off the ground by Adams telekinesis and thrown at the spreading fire and destroyed cars. The Piken burns slowly but tries to get out so Adam lifts it up so high it isn't clearly visible and drops it and hits a car with so much power that the impact causes car pieces to fling out in different directions at such speed it looked like shrapnel and my bracelet expands into a forcefield to stop some pieces hitting me and Sarah. I desperately put my hands on Sarah's body but nothing happens. I start to scream for it to work but nothing. Tears start to flow down my cheeks and slowly, very slowly her mangled body starts to repair itself. After a while, she's been fully repaired but looks drowsy and confused.
"Sarah,"My words come out mumbled but I don't care. Tears continue to roll down my cheeks but there tears of joy.
"John, we've got to go now,"Sam says and that's when I hear the police sirens. I put Sarah over my shoulder and run to the car.
