We hid behind a corner, and tried to decide what to do next. Jackson suggested a full on attack, while Matt wanted to be a little more stealthy. Mia just wanted to make friends with the guards, but that wasn't a real option.
"There's about 1, 2, 3, 4 . . . Twelve guards," Matt reported.
"We can take 'em," replied Jackson, flexing his tired fireball arm."
Just like our training I thought.
"All right. Just like we've practice. We're going out with a bang. Let's take 'em down," I whispered, "Hands in the middle. Alright, Heracles on three. One, two, three, HERACLES!" We charged into battle. The guards had heard our cheer, and they were ready for something, but not for us. I watched the chaos from the ceiling. Riley grabbed one guard by the feet and swing him into the others. Jackson created a ring of fire around the pile of guards. Caroline zapped an electric cage over them. One energy ball would be all it took to end this. Only one. The green globe stung the back of my throat as it charged up. I let it loose at the guards, who went limp on impact. We all rushed up to the door, and with a who and a have, we were finally free from Area 51 and Project Heracles forever.
