Mierda: Crap (I used google translate for these so if its wrong correct me okay?)

It's mission is WHAT?!

Jack took over.

"Get to the door. Now!" He whispered. We all ran crouched over to the trees. There where some loud heavy sounding footsteps.

"Run! Run, Run!" Jack yelled as another crash filled the air. Seth and Sara took off in different directions. I tried to follow Seth but I soon got lost. I was running for my life whacking branches and leaves out of my way, tripping and stumbling all the way. Suddenly a big gray steel thing stepped into my way. I ran smack into it. It felt like running into a ton of bricks. I fell on my back and screamed. In pain. Because of my back and my maybe-broken nose. The thing, which has now been dubbed Robot On Steroids or ROS for short, raised it foot to stomp on me. I stared into what I thought where its eyes, defiant 'til I die. Suddenly there was a flash of brown and Jack was there fighting with ROS. I scrambled back on my hands. Something behind me lifted me up bridal style and pulled me close to them.

"Sh, you'll be fine, Lane. Don't worry." Seth? Since when did he care? He's been stiff and distant the entire time I've known him. Sara came up behind Seth with the Device clutched in her hand. ROS saw it and shot it out of her hand.

"SETH!" She stared in horror as Jack got thrown away and ROS came towards us. ROS bent down to grab the thing but Sara stuck her hand out and it flew into her hand.

"Seth. Seth put me down!" I yelled, as he and Sara took off. Jack came out of nowhere and tackled ROS.

"No, I got you!" He yelled back.

"UGH! PUT ME DOWN! I CAN RUN!" I yelled at him again. He looked down and glared at me. All it took was that one second for Seth to trip. I went flying.

"OOMPH." Seth got to his knees and shook his head.

"Go Sara. Just go, we'll catch up!" I stumbled to my feet, gritted my teeth and helped Seth up.

"Told you I could walk." He grunted and leaned on me as we picked our way through the forest. The ball things had all caught on fire. Finally we reached the tornado shelter just behind Jack. I ran in next to Seth. He turned and attempted to shut the door. A glowing blue ball roared towards him. He managed to block out most of it.

A small bit of it made it through though. It blasted everyone off their feet. Sara who was the farthest got the least of the blast. Jack just stumbled. Seth went flying into the wall, since I was next to him I went flying onto the wall next to him. I grunted and landed on my knees. Seth on the other hand collapsed on the ground unconscious.

"SETH!" I screamed, at the same time as Sara. She surged forward as I scooped him up. Jack stopped her.

"Just keep going! I have him!" I hoisted him up on my shoulders. He didn't weigh as much as he looked which I was thankful for. Jack kicked the door down and ran out with Sara. I followed a moment later. Sara jumped into the passenger seat. Jack ran around and started the cab. I dodged a couple of fire spouts coming from the ground. I opened up the back door and slung Seth in as gently as I could. I jumped in after him. I slammed the door shut and yelled at Jack to step on it. He did thank goodness. We got quite a distance away before Jack slowed down.

"How's your brother doing?" he asked the girl next to him.

"His system has the abili-"

"I will be fine." Seth said suddenly awake.

"Oh well good. Because you guys are going to need you're strength when you explain to me JUST WHAT HAPPENED BACK THERE!" Jack yelled. "Alright here's the deal." He pulled over. "This cab doesn't move until your mouths do. So get to talking."

"The information that you are seeking is not within the grasp of your understanding." Seth said. I started to laugh but when Jack glared at me I turned it into a cough. Sara smiled at me reading my thoughts.

Gosh your brother is rude.

"We are dealing with issues outside the realm of… Your world." Sara tried to explain.

"Look I'm a cab driver okay?" Jack laughed, " I have plenty of worldly experience…"

"Jack!" I yelled as I caught sight of floating blue headlights.

"Sara! We have to go!" Sara shoved her hand out and the car shot forward since Jack was frozen. Jack tightened his grip on the steering wheel.

"What is it?" Jack asked. No one answered. My guess was that it was ROS from the underground forest.

"Hang on!" Jack yelled as he swerved off the road and onto the hillside. I grabbed Seth's arm and Sara grabbed my hand, which I gladly squeezed. Some how we ended up on train tracks. Jack cut the lights and rolled forward into a tunnel. He stopped in the middle of it. Suddenly blue lights started scanning the tunnel. They came closer and closer. I turned my head away from it not wanting to watch. Seth scooted closer and grabbed my hand and touched Sara's shoulder.

"We can't let him destroy it, Sara." Seth whispered. I stared in shock at our hands then at Seth then back at our hands. He noticed and let go abruptly and blushed.

"Who is "he"? And this time I need real answers." Jack demanded.

"It is a Syphon." Sara sounded scared out of her mind.

"A what?" I asked.

"It's an assassin trained to pursue his target until his mission is completed." Seth said. I could tell he was trying to cover up how scared he was.

"And his mission is…?" I watched the blue lights get closer and closer to the front of the cab.

"Us." Sara filled the blank.

"Well, mierda." I said.

Seth pressed himself as far back into the seat as possible. Sara turned around and grabbed my hand. I squeezed my nails into my palm. I was so convinced I was going to die at sixteen in a car with two aliens with a beefy cab driver. Then the lights stopped not a millimeter away from the bonnet of the car. Then it zoomed away.

I released my breath and looked at Seth's relieved face then at Sara's similar look. Jack started the car and we drove on in silence.

Jack was glancing around for a place to pull off the tracks. Seth was leaning back and messing with his thingy. I put my headphones in and closed my eyes mentally putting my guards up. Sara glanced back at me then opened her mouth and turned to Jack. I popped an ear bud out so I could hear the conversation.

"Is there a safer route we can take, Jack Bruno?" She sounded worried. I glanced out the window and saw only a sheer cliff and mist. A lot of it.

"Only if you know how to fly." Jack joked. I rolled my eyes. I was still watching the mist curl and float. Some of it actually looked solid. Then it moved. I blindly groped behind me with my hand, accidently smacking Seth in the face. Eh, well it got his attention.

"Oops. Sorry. Meant to grab your arm." He leaned over.

"What is it Lane?" I pointed at the thing until it sunk below the mist.

"Jack, Jack watch out! The Syphon!" Then gunshots and explosives racked the air.

"HOLD ON! GET DOWN!" Sara scrambled into the back with us. Jack floored it. I hung onto Sara with one hand and Seth with the other.

We rumbled down the tracks and found our selves on a bridge. Jack pulled into another tunnel. The Syphon followed us in, even though it was scraping the sides with every move.

A familiar noise sounded in the distance.

"Oh my gosh, a choochoo!" Seth face palmed. Sara laughed at me.

"Jack! Hurry up or we're not going to make it!"

"It won't go any faster!"

"Sara!" Seth and I screamed. She stuck her hand out and I could feel the car increasing speed.

"We're not gonna make it! Get down!" instead I leaned forward and watched as Jack swerved out of the tunnel just before the train came in. We went down a hill. I twisted and watched the explosion as the Syphon hit the train. Poor people.

"GET DOWN" Jack yelled again as the box cars went flying over the car. I stayed sitting up until Seth noticed and yanked me into a crouched position. I grumbled.

"What are you trying to do? Get your self killed?" Seth asked harshly. I rolled my eyes.

"No, but it's not going to make the train cars go any higher if I hide." I said. It was his turn to roll his eyes.

The train passed over us. Everyone else let out a sigh of relief. I sat up, grinned and said, "Can we do it again?" Seth and Jack scowled at me and Sara just looked confused. I slumped back as much as I could with my bruised back.

"I'll take that as a 'no'."
