Another chapter today. So be REALLY GRATEFUL. X]
Disclaimer: Don't own TEC, so blah, blah, blah...
"NO!" Keith shouted, hurling himself in front of Jessica.
"KEITH!" Jess screamed.
The blast of light barreled into Keith, his knees buckled, and he collapsed onto the sidewalk. Manny and Danny quickly ran off, their laughs trailing behind them.
"No!" Jess cried. "Not you too!"
"It-it's okay." Keith smiled sadly. "I know you'll save me and Lisa. I know you-" He blacked out before he could say more.
Jess dropped down next to him, and started to cry. First Lisa, and now Keith. Where did it all go wrong?
"Good news, Francine." Manny cackled. "We took out Keith. And Jess is definitely torn apart."
"Finally, you've done something right." Francine said. "Now meet up with Scrambler for stage three. I've got something to do." She snapped her phone shut.
"It's time to meet your breaking point, pretty boy." Francine hissed.
"So, what are these wordballs again?" Lisa asked.
Hector twisted his wrist, summoning a blue swirling ball. "This." He threw it down at their feet, creating the word 'this'.
"And-I can do it too?" Lisa frowned.
"Yeah, try it. Just concentrate and think of a word. Then twist your wrist." Hector encouraged.
"Okay," Lisa took a deep breath. She closed her eyes, and twisted her hand. Then tossed it down. It read 'Hector'. "I did it!" Her eyes lighted up.
Hector smiled sadly at the word. "And we each have a special power, too. I can do this," He stretched out his hands, forming an image of him and Lisa sitting together and laughing, clearly enjoying themselves.
"You have one, too." He summoned another word ball and threw it at her feet. It read, 'drefins'. "Unscramble that." He said.
Lisa frowned and held up a her hands. Slowly, she switched the letters of 'drefins' into 'friends'. "Friends." She read softly. "Is-is that what we used to be? Or were we more than that?"
Hector looked down, his face growing red. He knew where Lisa was going with this. "I-I don't really know, Lisa. I guess we weren't."
"Oh," She said softly.
"Oh Lisa!" Francine called.
Lisa turned to see Francine running toward her. Before Hector could pull her away, Lisa was suddenly grabbed and dragged quickly away from him. "Come on Lisa, we have more important things to talk about." Francine said with a laugh.
"STOP! LISA!" Hector called after them, not far behind.
"But-Hector! Wait!" Lisa protested.
"Oh don't worry. We can deal with him later." Francine pulled her out of the park, and soon, they were lost in the crowds of the city.
"NO!" Hector shouted. He'd lost Francine. And Lisa. Again.
Okay, that's all for today, kids! ;)
