A/N: Told you I would update! Yeah...Berkeley/Sapphire is hurting...IDC, really... here!


Ch 8: Berkeley

Ow.

My only thought. My eye was out and my optic kept flickering with the images. There was a fire, consuming me from the inside out and I couldn't move.

A black spot appeared to my left.

A battle had started around me. I could see the reds and purples of laser fire. I could see the small, thin beams of spells. I could hear the spells and loud insults from both sides of the battle field.

Someone was asking me if I was alright. I tried to get up, to give them a reason to feel better. I failed. Miserably.

Another black spot to my right

I was weak and tired. I needed a nap or something badly. My optic was failing and my arm and leg were already shut down to conserve energy.

I was being dragged to the side of the battle and was being placed on a stretcher. The figure had not left.

"Give me…five minutes…." I said, my voice coming out raspy and shallow.

The figure nodded and ran off to the fight. I saw long hair trailing behind them and thought it must be a girl.

That was my last thought as my optic finally failed, my mind went blank, and I went under.

I awoke in a few minutes. The battle was still raging on around me. Great. Payback time.

I pushed myself off the ground. It was harder than I expected, most of my strength gone. I got to my feet and looked around.

Katherine, Fred, and George were battling Bellatrix and two, other unnamed Death Eaters. Sideswipe and Sunstreaker teamed up against Soundwave, Rumble, Frenzy, Laserbeak, and Buzzsaw. When I was recharging, Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp came and joined the battle. Slag. Brawn and Trailbreaker covered them.

Those were the only battles I could identify. I ran towards Brawn and Trailbreaker, thinking they might need the most help. That's when I saw him.

He, Bumblebee, was in an energon cage in the left corner of the field. Ravage was guarding him. I was enraged. How dare they imprison my boyfriend on our date? How dare they even wreck my date? I sprinted towards them, stream lining past the ongoing battles around us.

I blasted Ravage aside and worked on the entwined energon strings that created the cage. Bumblebee tried to help, but eventually found that energon and human flesh don't mix.

When I cracked the lock, a loud, enraged voice rang around the park area we had turned into a war ground.

"NO ONE SHOOT! NO ONE SHOOT OR SHE WILL BE CUT IN TWO!"

I turned to see Bellatrix, her silver knife in hand, holding Katherine by the neck. Fred, George, and Bill (where'd he come from?) bellowed, "HOW DARE YOU!"

Bellatrix just laughed. That pissed Fred off even more, "I swear, if you harm her, I just want you to know that I am not afraid to use the Cruiatus curse on you!"

Bellatrix just smirked. Then she raised her wand. "Good idea. CRUCIO!"

The curse hit Katherine with a zap. Her body went rigid and she cried out in pain. Fred, George, and Bill raised their wands to defend her, but Bellatrix just pushed the curse harder.

I could see that some evil, demonic force was trying to wreck my day I couldn't stand it. I shot my gun with deadly accuracy at Bellatrix. I could see why Katherine hated her so.

"No one, "I said, speaking loudly, slowly, and clearly, "messes with my friends. No one."

She screamed at me in rage. "How dare you fire at me! How dare you Disarm me! You shall pay!"

She ducked down to grab her wand. I shot her again. In the chest, this time. She looked surprised and gave a slight "Oh!", seconds later falling limp to the ground. I chuckled as I walked over to her. She was laying on the ground, limbs displayed awkwardly.

"Sorry," I muttered, "I may not be able to harm a normal human, but you don't qualify."

I knelt down next to Katherine, the battle's shock episode over and resuming fight.

"You okay?" I asked.

She looked up at me and said "I think. What happened to make her let go…" she saw my sniper's riffle.

"Yeah," I smiled, "one of my warrior professions. Sniper, front-liner, and field medic."

"Wow. Who are you again?"

I laughed.

A voice came from besides me. "You sure that you're alright? I don't want you rejoining the fight hurting."

"I'm fine, really George." Katherine said, turning to the person next to me.

I didn't notice George until he spoke up. He was pale and beading with sweat. His eyes were full of worry. It was easy to see that he liked her. Fraggit, when would they go out?

Katherine got up, against the worry full comments from George, and strode across to where Feriner was dueling Fred and Bill.

Fred sent a Bat-Bogey Hex at Greyback. He deflected and ran at Bill on all fours. Fred screamed "Not again!"

Bill, who was now in punching range, socked the werewolf in the face. Feriner's back twisted and he fell next to Bill, groaning in pain and holding his mouth.

Katherine saw no mercy towards the werewolf. She strutted towards the body, and kicked him in the groin. Me, Bill, Fred, and George chorused, "Ooh!" mockingly.

Lucius Malfoy ran up and started dueling Katherine. The crowd dissolved, all except George, who watched Kat with fearful eyes. I went to fight with Brawn and Trailbreaker.

It was even, not much fun or excitement. I stole several glances towards Katherine.

Lucius was severely outmatched. They dueled.

For five minutes, the battle went on, George never leaving Katherine, until the accident.

She was dueling Lucius, succeeding him in skill. After a while, he successfully Disarmed her. Without a weapon, she looked to the side in worry. Malfoy yelled "STUPEFY!"

But she didn't notice, however, the other red jet of light that was speeding towards her from behind her. Fred had missed his target and the spell went undisturbed, all the way to Katherine. Georger was horrified when he saw this.

At the last moment, he ran to her and shoved her out of the way. The two red spells hit him rather than her, front chest and back chest. On the other end of the field, Fred looked terrified , petrified like a statue, as his twin brother fell to the ground, not even the up and down movement of breathing coming from his seemingly lifeless body.


A/N: I've always wondered what would happen if two Stunners hit a person, going in a straight line of opposite directions. There's my theory. And, no, he's not dead. He's too awesome to die.
