Six

I'm not going to lie, the bodies on the floor are kinda creeping me out. Judging by Marina's horrified face she's thinking the same thing. Gingerly, John walks over and pokes a small Japanese-looking boy with a Mo-hawk and glasses. Nine crouches down next to a pretty Scottish girl. She has curly red hair and rosy cheeks. John bends over the Japanese boy. He kicks the boy lightly. The boy stirs and his brown eyes open. He pushes his glasses up his nose, and dusts himself off. The boy starts talking in what I think is Japanese. John looks confused. "Um, Me. John." He says. He points one finger at himself, and says his name. The other boy understands and points a finger at himself too. "Soku." The boy says. John nods. "Um. Anyone speak Japanese, or maybe Chinese… Wait, wait. Korean too. I think." John says sounding unsure. "Maybe we should try talking to the entity. It may be able to translate, make him speak English without knowing." Adam suggests. Marina nods. "Worth a try." She says. "Hey! Mr. Legacy? We could use your help!" Nine shouts. I feel a change in the air, a ghostly presence.

"We can't understand him. We can't teach them anything if we can't even talk to them. And not just him, any others that don't speak English. Maybe so that they think we're speaking in their language, and we think they're speaking English." Sam says. "Yeah," John chimes in, "it would really help us accomplish what you instructed us to do." John says. When no response comes John tries again. "Okay, fine. Just see what you can do, or maybe talk to us." He finishes. I hear a big 'whoosh' and realise it's the entity sighing. "You have made me proud, my children. What you are asking of me is near impossible," Comes a booming voice. I faintly see an old face in the sky. It seems oddly familiar. It's the face that comes whenever I make a storm, I realise.

"But not quite impossible. I see great things in all of your futures, don't prove me wrong. I will do what you have requested. But, you must not forget about Malcolm Goode, the lowly astronomer. He has a key role." I'm not sure what the entity is talking about, I see Sam perk up at the mention of his father. "I can sense you're all hesitant to do this. Have a little faith." The entity smiles and winks its ancient eye. "It is done. You can understand them now. I cannot help you anymore." And with that the entity disappears. "Nice guy." Nine says. Another few people pop up. I see some of them stand up. All of the others are greeting newcomers, well except Five. I walk over to a confused looking pretty Chinese girl. "I'm Six." I say, greeting her. "I'm Kai" A/N Kie (One syllable) I smile at her warmly. I'm not very good at the whole meeting new people thing.

Luckily, John speaks up. Once he clears his throat everyone stops talking, a hushed silence on the crowd. "So we come from many different places. But that doesn't matter anymore. I'm sure many of you will become great friends. Our goal is to train you. All of you. We're going to teach you how to fight. You can master the powers you have been given. We're going to go to a place very off-the-grid, due to the giant warships hovering over your cities. I will give you all a chance to back out now. Leave if you'd like. There's a good chance many of you will get hurt. But we have healers, and those pasty faced freaks will come after you anyway. You probably have less of a chance to get killed if you stick with us. So, does anyone want to leave? You're not obliged to stay." John pauses looking around in case anyone wants to leave. "No one? Alright, great! We're going to have to get going. I'll get the place, hold on." John says. John hurries over to me and Sam. "Um, where should we go? It has to be big." I think of a big field out in the country, complete with many houses and sheds. But Sam beats me too it. "What about a place in the country? I bet we can find an old farm with tons of land." Sam says. John grins. "Perfect." John walks away. "Um, so I guess we're going to the country." The peacefulness lasts for another two seconds, then it erupts into complete madness. I hate loud noises. I cover my ears.

Sam and Nine take the lead, the big group follows them. I guess we're going to find a lot of cars. I run up to Nine and Sam. "Wait!" I call. They both stop. "We're supposed to meet Lexa and Mark here!" I say breathlessly. Nine sighs. "I don't want to wait here. We'll just use Ella's mind mojo to tell them where to come." Nine says calmly. I scoff at how callous Nine's being "Nine! They've come all this way, they're probably half way here! It's rude to tell them to travel as far as where we're going." I say to Nine. Nine refuses to stop walking. He's taller than me so it's a little hard to keep up with him. I'm a tiny bit out of breath but there's no way I'm showing Nine that. "Nine! Please, Stop!" I whine. I'm on the verge of tears. I'm frustrated, angry, sad, tired, filthy, and beaten down. I just want to rest for one minute. And Nine is clearly not understanding that. Nine grinds to a halt. He sees my frustrated tears and stares on, confused. "Six? Are you alright?" He asks me. "Yeah. Fine, I'm just going to hang at the back of the group. Can you tell Ella to contact Mark and Lexa?" I ask. "Yeah, sure." Nine says. I slowly walk back towards the end of the group. I see John, head hung like a cowering dog, also at the back of the group. I can tell he's upset. I walk beside him. He doesn't glance up when I approach him, but I can tell he knows I'm here.

John is in the worst condition out of all of us. If I'm as tired and worn as I am, I can't imagine how much he needs a break. I heard how hard he pushed himself in Manhattan. "It's all pinned on me, you know." John speaks suddenly, I glance at him. "What do you mean?" I ask him, already knowing what he means. "There lives, Manhattan, Sarah's life. Pretty much the whole world." John says. I can tell he's been beating himself up about this, maybe he'll feel better after talking to me. "No, you don't know they will die. You did everything you could in Manhattan. And Sarah…" I trail off. "She said she didn't regret any of it, John. She love, still loves you. She wants you to move on, and be alright. It's not all your fault." I reply. John looks at me, I can see tears in his eyes, he looks down, not wanting me to see. "Every single person says that! I know it's not true! You know it's not true, why say it? Manhattan, gone. Because I couldn't fight for just a minute longer, it was me." He says. He brushes another tear from his eye. "No it wasn't. You don't know that." I say. John looks at me sadly. "There's more, I knew I couldn't fight anymore, Sam knew too, so we went inside. For, maybe an hour. After the worst of the fight, I was with Walker. Discussing things to do to help. But I could've actually been helping. Manhattan might still be standing if I could focus!" John exclaims. I stay silent, I didn't know this. I wait until the large group in front of us is a while away.

I walk closer to John. I hug him. I let him lean on me. He cries into my shoulder for a bit. He's hurting, hurting people need comfort. John pulls away from me, we lock eyes. I know he doesn't want me to tell anybody about his sudden display of weakness. I silently agree. We run to catch up with the big group. I look at John, who is staring at the ground right now. I wish Sarah was here, she could cheer him up. Nine and Sam are staring confusedly at a big pile of charred remains of a building. I realise it used to be the guards station. I'm about to sprint backwards but I stop myself. It's time to stop running. I watch a warship approach. It's not very big, but still a threat to us. John's lumen flicks on. Nine reaches for a dagger he had in his pocket. Sam pulls a gun from his make-shift holster. And Marina's hands spring tiny icicles. I turn invisible and wait for the mogs to approach us. I know what this means. This means war.
