"Apollo," a voice said. "Apollo."

I felt a hand on my shoulder and shaking me. My eyelids weighed down like lead but I was able to open them. At first it was just a bright light. Then my vision got more focussed and realized the light was just coming from a flashlight the paramedic was holding.

"What happened?" my voice came out groggy.

"You hit your head and might be suffering from a small concussion," the paramedic said.

I can hear dad yelling at Holly. I turned my head to see the restaurant in complete a blaze, humans being mind-swiped, and dad having his Beet Root face.

And it's all my fault. My first mission to the surface and I blew it. I should've made Holly dink the serum before we went into town or before she put up her shield. But what good would that do? Holly has too much pride to listen to a mud person Recruit that's only in this squad because of her daddy.

"Commander Root," the paramedic called. "She's awake."

Dad came rushing toward my side. Holly trailed behind him.

"I'm sorry dad, Holly," I said starting to slip from consciousness. "This is all my fault. I should have trained more."

"C'mon Recruit," dad knelt down to my eye level. "Stay awake."

"I'm sorry, Holly," I looked at her, "I should have been more careful. Did everyone make it out of the building?"

"Commander!"

"Yes, sergeant?"

"There's a human in here, sir. The Concusser didn't reach him. He's coming, sir. Right now, sir!"

"Shields!" barked Root. "Everyone!"

I knew Holly wouldn't be able to put up her shield, so I placed one on her. Since I was a human it wouldn't matter if I put up my shield.

I wasn't sure if they're were overreacting though. The human that was still in the building was a toddler and he looked like he was falling asleep. The boy would've thought he was dreaming even if he did see them.

"Ciao, fulletta," he said looking at me. Then he climbed into his father's (well I think its his father) to take a nap.

Dad was not happy. When he put down his shield, his Beet Root face was pointed at me. It's even uglier and scarier up close.

"Recruit!" he yelled at me.

I flinched. Dad might have been hard on me in training and I heard his stern voice before, but it was never this harsh.

"How dare you defy your orders!"

"I apologize, Commander," I got up on my feet. "My head's still fuzzy from impact."

"Fine," he turned around and started walking. "I hoped you enjoyed your time on the surface because you're going to be knee deep in paper work."

"Understood."

Hearing that dad left, Holly turned to me. "Why did you do that for me?" she asked blankly.

"He'd go easier on me for my lack of experience," I said. "Beside, dad would explode knowing that you put off the ritual for so long."

Holly made a face that made her look angry and sheepish at the same time.

"Watch it Mud girl," she snarled. "Now that I'm up here I can do the ritual now."

"Okay then, see you later," and I did what I should've done to get to the surface.

I teleported home.
