"The rebel is within." Tracker was directly in front of Irma's house. Taranee swooped with the girls between the house and him as he bared what she supposed might pass for a grin. "But not for long."
"They're back!" Cornelia flew around the building, summoning a forest to grow behind her to keep the Tracker out, but Taranee shuddered when he opened his outer layer cloak. Bats. The creatures spread out over the tree trunks; scraping away at the bark until each tree fell.
...
A tree fell directly onto the roof of the house and Blunk jumped beside Caleb. "It's me they want. I've got to lead them away."
Caleb turned from the window, scanning Chris' toys for something he could use. The board with wheels. "Good plan. Blunk stay! Guard cookies!"
Caleb glared at the passling, who had reverted to hiding behind Chris. "New plan. Blunk go find that portal."
"Bad plan! Bad plan! No! No!" Blunk kicked and screamed as Caleb pulled the passling up, hoisting him under his arm. They made this mess. Now they'd have to fix it.
...
"Where's Hay Lin! She hasn't answered her cell phone!" Irma's heart skipped a beat as Mr Lin yelled from behind her. Boy he could be scary.
"Eh.. Uh," Irma looked around desperately, searching for an explanation as she stuttered, "Em.." She grabbed the back of a masked person standing beside her. "She's here! She just changed into her adorable costume! Right Hay Lin!"
Mr Lin started to look very embarrassed to Irma's pleasure as she forced the masked person to nod, "Em.. Right.. Enjoy your movie!"
Once he walked away, Irma sighed, her arm still around the costumed person who pushed her away muttering, "Freak.."
"HEY!"
...
"HEY FELLAS! BET YOU CAN'T CATCH US!"
Will whipped her head around as Caleb jumped over the fencing of Irma's decking. Blunk was holding him tighly around the neck; screaming and kicking, "Bad bad plan! Worst plan ever!"
The Tracker's chain began to glow, a sure sign he was about to strike, and Caleb threw a skateboard down onto the road; jumping on with Blunk still screaming. "Air!" Hay Lin formed a quick tornado around the Tracker, but he yet again used his flail on a lamp post to pull himself from the winds, this time however, jumping bak onto the road and following after a certain passling and a rebel leader.
Will pushed herself forward, and the girls were quick to fly with her as the chase led downhill. The chain was barely missing him and Will winced as an upcoming car's driver fled his vehicle; just in time before the flail caused it to fly up off the road, and 'Oh God!'.. She looked at Cornelia, "Go talk some sense into him!"
...
Caleb ducked down as he skated under the airbound vehicle, hearing it crash down too closely behind him. "Caleb!" Caleb glanced back as Cornelia flew towards him. This was all he needed; confrontation during a chase. "You realize you're heading straight towards the theater?"
Caleb looked up at her, "Yeah, there's a portal in the alley behind the place. Blunk smelt it." He grinned at her, "Pull him in; seal him in, and the world gets saved!"
His smile faltered as she glared at him, then smiled sarcastically, "Oh, how very Vance Michael Justin of you!"
She wasn't gonna forgive him then. He took another glance ahead before returning the glare, "Gia to gamóto tis! Look, I'm sorry if you-"
"TRACKER! BEHIND YOU! DUCK!" Caleb swerved when Will yelled from his other side. He was sure she hadn't been there a second ago. He corrected his mistake, taking a turn onto a much busier road; suddenly dodging a thick jumble of fast cars, the Tracker still behind him, making a racket while he approached.
...
The doors were opening and Irma searched the now cheering crowds. She grimaced, muttering in frustration, "Where are they!"
...
Suddenly all was black. A hand covered his face and Caleb's heart rate increased significantly. He could feel the board wobbling beneath him. "I can't see!"
"Caleb lucky!" Blunk yelled, but the Caleb realized he was going up. He must have hit a ramp of some kind because as far as he could tell, up wasn't natural when traveling downhill.
The board reached the end of the ramp and Caleb blindly crouched, reaching for his board. No sooner had his hand touched wood, when the wheels noisily hit metal, thankfully sending Blunk flying so he still held on, but Caleb now had a good veiw of.. Cars. "AHHH!"
Blunk's arm was covering his eyes in a second, and again blindly, Caleb turned slightly left; hoping to reach pavement before the vehicle ahead reached him. Thankfully he felt the ground raise as the wheels bumped onto the curb.
...
"He needs a shortcut! Fast!" Cornelia yelled out as they all chased the pursuiting Tracker and his 'bate'.
Hay Lin giggled, "Somebody likes somebody!"
"He's got two blocks to go, and that thing's getting closer!" Will abruptly turned her head back to the front; ignoring the burn on her cheeks when she realized Hay Lin was looking at Cornelia.
"Fine." Will glanced back at Cornelia's spiteful tone, "I'll save Caleb from the Tracker." As she pushed ahead she yelled out behind her, "BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I LIKE HIM!"
...
Caleb pulled Blunk from his face, just in time to see Cornelia summon a block of pavement to rise in a steep slope up, "GAEA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!"
As he sped past he didn't miss her cold glower. "YOU'RE VERY WELCOME MORON!"
He was a little too concerned to take much offence though as he flew from the cement and landed on the drainpipe of a two storey building. He slid along and onto another, before bracing himself and taking the leap; thanking the Gods that he landed on the board, rather than along the gravel, bending his knees low to protect himself.
...
Irma scowled, sending another group of people from her row of seats. "Sorry! Saved!" She was praying that the girls would arrive when she saw a familiar light emitting from directly at the front of the cinema screen.
She sucked in a gasp as she realized everyone thought the show was starting and raced from the showing-room. From behind her Uriah Dunn and his friends shrugged, "I call it!" They all leapt over the back of the chairs into the better row.
...
"Where is it!"
Blunk crept around the alley, sniffing loudly as Caleb threw his hands out in frustration. "Going fast give Blunk headache!"
The building's back-alley exit opened, but Blunk's focus was elsewhere as Irma sighed with releif, "Caleb! There's a portal inside!"
"Stay here and look out for Tracker." Caleb said pointedly to Blunk, but panic was coursing through the passling.
"LOOK OUT!" He pointed, "TRACKER!"
Gia to gamóto tis - for fuck sake (my rebel leader is a rude rebel leader :L :L)
