I am back with brand-new FLASHBACK CHAPTER! Read to find out what I'm talking about.

*Flashback two years ago*

"That is one hell of an EVO!" My partner Aero screamed over to me. I heard an EVO screech in front of the rock I was standing by behind and I scream a reply across the barren land.

"How are we going to cure her?"

"Providence's cure! We have to tell Providence to call him in! Then I could probably cure her! You make the call and I'll stall it." His silver hair shined from the giant upward rock he was standing behind. He ran forward with his two guns, one in each hand. I pressed a button on the comlink in my ear. I heard my comrade buzz in, and he sounded as calm and laid back as ever.

"Yeah?"

"Rentin! We need Providence to send in their cure for the EVO!"

"Why? Is it that bad?"

"Considering it's the size of the frickin empire state building-HELL FUCKING YES!"

I screamed at him over the awful screeching of the EVO. I looked back at the humongous EVO; it literally was the size of the empire state building. Well, maybe half the size of the empire state building, it consisted of the colors black and blue. Its torso was mainly black but its arms and legs were blue with a mix of black. The EVO had gnarly fingers that could actually be used as weapons; and wings that were each the size of airplanes. Aero was on the ground shooting his guns at various places, which was a futile attempt. Soon I heard Rentin buzz back on the comlink.

"Alright, Providence is on the way with their cure. And I warned them, too."

"What took you so long?" I replied angrily.

"Sorry, they were asking details and crap. And watch your language, Circe.

"What were they asking?"

"Shouldn't you be fighting the EVO?" He reminded me that Aero was fighting the EVO all on his own.

"Right." I lifted my finger off the comlink and turned to look at the scene.

The EVO raised its right arm and then swung it down aiming for Aero, but he jumped and grabbed onto its hand. Then it dropped down its arm and looked around, it was confused. Ace took the time to climb up it arm and bite it.

Screeching pierced my ears before sight could. In a chaotic frenzy the EVO started thrashing around mindlessly, throwing its arms around everywhere. And as soon as it was done thrashing around, I looked up at the clear sky and saw Aero flying through it. I came out from behind the rock and positioned myself to attempt to catch him. He was coming down back-first.

And it failed miserably, he crashed on me and I hit the rocky ground. The wind was knocked out of me and I couldn't breathe because his weight leaned drastically on my stomach. He rolled off though and I heard him catching his breath.

"You okay?" He quickly asked. His voice was raspy and hoarse from the fall. I coughed and tasted blood in my mouth; my stomach was hurting horribly but I managed to sit up.

"Yeah, I'm okay." He had a look of concern on his face; we've known each other long enough to tell when we're in pain.

"You shouldn't have done that."

"What would've happened to you if I didn't?" His expression changed from concern to gratefulness.

"I guess you're right. More importantly-", He pointed to the raging EVO. ", how are we going to cure her? My bullets can't do anything!" I looked at the EVO which was currently screeching and mindlessly destroying the deserted land.

"Providence is on their way with the cure. For now we have to stall her!" A screech of rage and anger stopped our dialogue; we both looked back and saw the EVO looking straight at us. It let out a horrendously loud screech and started charging toward us.

"Looks like we'll have to take her on our own!" I shouted over to Aero. I materialized my black sword and suddenly heard something. Even the EVO stopped and looked up, not too high was a Providence ship. Right on time too. Aero also saw the ship and had an ecstatic reaction.

"Look at that! We're saved!" Aero bellowed, clearly overjoyed. I looked over at him and his unzipped black white-lined jacket; it was exposing a plain white T-Shirt that was dirty. His blue jeans were fine though.

"Don't get your hopes up. We don't know how strong their cure is anyway. We'll still have to fight her."

"Number one, you're such a downer. Number two, even if the cure isn't that strong all three of us could take it because I managed to suck out some of the high-charged nanites. So I'm confident that we can cure her." He gave a reassuring smile and I gave him one back. But I'm not exactly convinced that he made a difference, you could tell by the size that a couple nanites wouldn't do much. But we can always hope.

Suddenly the EVO let out a screech louder than all of the others; I looked back at the EVO. It fell on its knees which rumbled the ground, and then fell completely. It felt like an earthquake that lasted five seconds. Then I heard the Providence ship gears and looked up; it was at least fifty feet above in the air preparing to land.

I stood still; mesmerized by how the EVO suddenly just dropped to the ground. The Providence ship landed not too far away from Ace and I. We made our way to the ship as the hangar door opened and a ramp descended. Out walked a woman with purple hair draped over her left eye. She was definitely someone I didn't expect to see; Ace and I exchanged looks and made our way over to the plane.

As soon as Aero, the woman I didn't know, and I were facing each other I started the introduction.

"Um…hi. Um… not to be rude but who exactly are you?" In the light I could see her better, she was wearing a gray long-sleeve shirt, black gloves, gray pants and black boots that went up to her knee. Her face made her look like she was in her mid-thirties and she was wearing dark purple lipstick. Ace and I stayed silent waiting for her response; but there was no need, it came immediately.

"I'm Black Knight. Co-Director of Providence, you two must be from Pro Libertate."

Black Knight? What kind of name is that?

"Yeah, I'm Catherine Nightwalker and he's-"I pointed my thumb sideway at Ace, and he finished his name.

"Aaron Lombautcher. But everyone just calls me Aero." That reminds me, I forgot to tell her to call me Circe.

"Oh. In that case Aero, I pleased to announce that you have been specifically chosen for an experiment."

That snapped me out of trusting her, whenever someone other than your science teacher uses the word "experiment" it can't mean ANYTHING good. I took a step back and Aero repeated my action.

"What experiment?" He asked coldly, whatever it was he definitely didn't like the sound of it.

"That's classified information. I'm going to have to ask you to come with us." I materialized my sword and suddenly I heard a dull thud. And about six Providence soldiers rushed over. When I looked right next to me I saw why they rushed over. Aero was on the ground passed out; there was a dart in his neck. I began protesting.

"Where are you taking him? You don't even have the right to do this!" About three Providence soldiers blocked the way; they were all pointing their guns up. In an instant I put my hands up hoping it'll fool them.

"Sorry kid, but we can't let you get in the way. We're going to ask you to leave now." Explained one of the Providence soldiers. As soon as he finished, I kicked the gun out of his hand, bended down and did a swift roundhouse kick which had all three crashing to the ground. Instantly, I ran up to where Black Knight was planning to board the ship. I dashed up the ramp and jumped in the air doing a front flip and materialized my sword which, according to my makeshift plan, was going to end up inches away from her throat. Then I felt something hit my chest and I was sent flying in the air; I hit the ground in thump. Dreadful aching pain spread throughout my body, in my back I felt it coming from the muscle, for the rest of my body it felt like an outer pain.

Nevertheless I forced myself up fighting the pain, and gripped the sword I was still holding. An awful theory was in my head, I didn't want to believe it. I yelled my theory loud enough for her to hear; considering the distance.

"You're not actually with Providence, are you?" I pointed my sword at her, giving her the death stare.

"Actually Catherine, I am with Providence. I'm with the real-side of Providence." I ran where the ship was and stood in front of the ramp.

"Where are you taking Aero? And what are you planning to do with him? Answer me!" I barked furiously.

"I'm afraid I can only give you this as an answer." A purple line danced across my eyes, and then it struck top of my left arm.

Agony came with the purple line; my muscles had electric shocks going through them while the nerves in my arms were paralyzed. The nanite-simulated sword disappeared from my right hand. My vision started fading and I couldn't keep my balance; then my one knee hit the ground. Everything was blurry, all I could see was the ground, and it kept…shifting in different directions.

"Loss of balance is one of its side-effects." I looked up to see Black Knight with an evil grin holding onto what I think was a rod. I was proven wrong; the purple line leaped out of the rod with threatening crackling.

"It's not very long though, which disappoints me. Tell me does it hurt, Catherine?" I honestly don't know why but I gave her an answer.

"…hurts…like…hell…" Each word made my vision foggier and foggier.

"Good. That means it's doing its job. But I'm very surprised that you're still conscious after the whip." She grinned at me. "If you keep living Catherine, we'll surely meet again. And I can already tell you're going to be an interesting opponent. "And with the vision I had left I managed to see Black Knight board the ship. Instantaneously the ship lifted in the air, but it stayed low to the ground. My legs were incredibly sore so I decided to see why; it traveled north staying low to the ground. And soon I my vision started to show that it was going to ram something.

The unconscious EVO.

The eleven-year-old girl Aero and I were supposed to save.

The long black-and-blue slender body disappeared as soon as the Providence ship rammed it. Mystified by how it just suddenly disappeared rage started to boil up inside of me.

Wasn't there a canyon around here?

I quickly realized that Providence had pushed the EVO down the canyon down to its death.

They probably just killed an EVO! An EVO that could've been cured!

My hand hit the ground in an effort to pull myself up but I flopped right on the ground.

I turned myself over to see the Providence ship hovering above me (It must've turned around), blocking out the Sun.

How could they do this? Pro Libertate and Providence are allies, two groups fighting toward the same cause, right? Why would they do something like this? Why?

Unless…

Unless they lied to us!

Unless they were planning to betray us from the beginning! Those back-stabbing, lying, MOTHERFUCKERS!

I stared at the now enemy ship as it still hovered above me. But something snatched my eye's attention; someone was in one of the windows. It was a woman I could tell, because of the female features. She was standing a little far away from the window, but for some reason I could see her shadowy figure.

She was…smiling at me? Why?

At that moment I felt something stir inside of me. Familiarity. Something about her reminded of someone, but my vision was still unclear. That was probably why I couldn't see any other detail. Pain entered my chest suddenly and started to force me to sleep. But I just had to see who she was the only thing I could see was her shadowy figure and her lips. Her figure started to come closer and closer to the window.

Not now of all times…I need to see who she is…

The only thing that came into view was her lips. They were concealed behind red-hot lipstick, which was the only thing I was going to see. Because at that moment my body gave into the pain, and entered a dormant state. But I managed to get one more thought out in my mind before I passed out.

Just who the hell was that?

So how'd you like that? This was fun chapter writing, about Circe's past life and all. The woman with red-hot lipstick… oh my God this is going a long-running mystery. If any of you have some idea of who it is, keep it to yourself! It might actually be true. The last thing you want is anyone de-friending you on Facebook because you spoiled it for them. It might be a while until the next chapter comes out because I worked really hard on this one.

Review shout-outs

Resisting the Borg- Don't worry, I will explain that. But it'll probably be later in the story.

Dolpher- Thanks, that chapter had me on a REALLY short writer's block. But with effort and creativity I managed to overcome it. (HELL YEAH) *GASPS* YES! You don't hate me! YAAAA-

Five hours later…

-AAAAAAAAAAY! Oh that reminds me Dolpher You asked me whether I was going to celebrate International Women's Day. I actually did, I went out with my friends to the mall. And all of us were wearing T-shirts that said "GIRLS RULE!" We even managed to convince our guy friends to wear them. But it was worth it, we got a lot of approving looks from women. There was even this teenage girl who randomly gave me a high-five. Really weird, but it was fun too. A nice breather from stress.

Question

Is there any stupid superstition that people keep telling you to follow? Like not stepping on cracks? Or Walked under ladders? For me it was "Don't whistle at night or else the snakes will come." It's a really weird Indian superstition that Mom used always used to tell me. Tell me yours!
