Maike ran through the doors. Only about half the people who should be there were there. "Ariana!" She yelled. "How many people has Innes fired?"
"Not many." Ariana replied.
"Then why are there so few people here?"
"Innes took about fifty fairies on a mission. Something about police plaza. He never tells me anything." Ariana said turning towards some paper work. Maike didn't press for more details. That was all she needed. Plus Ariana probably knew nothing else.
"Okay. I'm going to need a gun." Maike said.
"Sure." Ariana replied grabbing a softnose off the rack and handing it to Maike. Maike ran down the hall and crept in to a door.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Innes heard the door open. He didn't have to turn around to see who it was. He just slid out the back door. Knell and Opal could take care of themselves. Plus he had some unfinished business to attend to. It was time for his sister to pay up.
-----------------------------------------------------
A shot ripped through the felt of Opal's hover chair and struck her in the shoulder. Before she lost consciousness she struck a button on the key pad shutting down the computer. It didn't take a genius to shoot her. However it did take one to start back up the computer.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Butler was starting to get nervous. Holly and Trouble should have been back by now. Then he heard the gunshots. He turned back to Vinyaya.
"I'm already on it." Vinyaya replied. "But Foaly isn't answering. I'm going to send a distress signal; it'll get every cop here." She said grabbing a neutrino and running out the door. Butler was right behind her.
Artemis stayed behind but grabbed a neutrino 4000 off the rack. It was light weight, and despite the fact it was made for fairies his finger still fit on the trigger. It was highly unlikely he would need it, but the unlikely normally happened to him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trouble heard them before he saw them. He and Holly had just gotten back with no news about Maike. A shot flew past Holly's ear missing her by an inch. Before Trouble could think twice he grabbed his gun, spun around, and shot. It hit a hovering sprite in the chest knocking her to the floor. It was only then that Trouble realized there were fifty more.
He ran to Holly who already had her gun out. "There's about fifty of them." He said ducking to avoid a neutrino blast and knocking out the elf that had shot it.
"I know. Hardly seems fair." Holly added releasing three shots into the crowd.
Trouble chuckled and fired four more times. "You were always the optimistic one."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Opal was out, Maike was sure of it, but Knell and Innes had both disappeared. It was okay though. Ariana could easily handle them. She started back up the computer, and returned control to Foaly. "I had better get a thank you for this." She muttered. Better safe than sorry she decided, and went to help Ariana.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
There was a sprite coming up behind the main attack. She took brief aim and fired. He swerved to the side to avoid it. He sped up and landed beside her. "I'm here to help it might not be a good idea to shoot me." The sprite said.
"Who are you?" Vinyaya asked joining the three of them with Butler right behind
"Selah." He replied.
"And who sent you?" Holly asked shooting two pixies.
"Foaly." Selah replied.
"Then you can help. Start shooting." Trouble said. "Vinyaya, we have any help coming?"
"Section eight should be here in a minute. It's up to you to get the regulars." She replied
"Okay, Holly could you cover me for a minute." He said.
"Got it." Holly said grabbing his hand and pulling him to the side to avoid a shot from a softnose. "It seems these things will keep coming back." She muttered to herself.
"Grub." Trouble yelled.
"What." Came grubs annoyed reply.
"I need you to get everyone in the building a gun and get them out the main entrance."
"Everyone." Grub confirmed.
"Except the mud boy he'll just get in the way."
"I'm on it." said Grub reluctantly.
"Now Grub! This is serious." Trouble yelled before hanging up.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Innes sprinted down the hallway his hand on his neutrino. He looked up to see Ariana standing in front of the exit, her gun at her side. Innes groaned slightly unholstering his gun. He only stopped running when Ariana raised her gun.
He left his gun at his side and chuckling he said "Now Ariana you wouldn't shoot me, your own flesh and blood."
The remark stung Ariana, but she didn't let Innes see. It was true he was her twin brother. She didn't think of him as her twin anymore. He had changed. It was probably the power that had done it. She saw a wave from the shadows behind a pillar. "Innes, I believe I told you you're over confidence would be you're downfall. However you're right I won't shoot you, but I don't have to."
Innes whipped around as a figure stepped into the light, her softnose glittering in it. With Maike's gun aimed at Innes at least twenty more guns appeared, all aimed at him. How stupid he had been sending everyone who trusted him to police plaza. Over confident he may have been, but even he knew there was no escape this time, At least not without some help. He dropped his gun to the floor and raised his open palms.
"Now are you going to come quietly?" Ariana said her ever present smile brighter than usual.
"Yes." He sighed.
Maike walked up behind Ariana. "You know what I think." She said turning to Ariana. Ariana knew where this was going and handed over her neutrino. "I don't believe him." She said powering up her neutrino.
"Neither do I." Ariana added, and with that Maike shot Innes in the stomach. He fell disappearing as he hit the ground.
"Knell." She muttered. She raced down the hall. Opal took priority. Knell and Innes could wait. She ran in and saw Opal still safely unconscious in the hover chair. She threw the pixie over her shoulder and headed to police plaza.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Foaly's screens came on one by one. His first objective was to find out what went on over at police plaza. He opened a channel to Holly's helmet.
"Foaly, I've been trying to call you for five minutes." Holly called.
"The power was out." Foaly said. "Maike got it back up."
"Did you send a sprite to help us?" Holly asked.
"Really he was sent to find out what was going on."
"About fifty fairies attacked police Plaza."
"Did you get them all?"
"Almost." She said firing at an elf. "Could you hang on for a moment?"
"No problem." Foaly said, but Holly was already gone.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The regulars had it from here. She ran straight to Trouble. He had been hit with a softnose just a minute ago. Luckily it hit his leg. She knelt down and healed him.
He flickered his eyes open and immediately went for his gun.
"It's okay." She said "It's over."
"That was close." He said "Did you contact Foaly?"
"Yeah." She said. "His power was cut."
Trouble turned to Selah. He released one more shot and holstered his weapon. "It's over." he muttered.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Trouble looked across the table to Maike, Selah, and Ariana. "For your services we are prepared to offer you complete amnesty."
'Lucky." Mulch said. "I helped four times and before I got amnesty."
"Technically, it was only three. That whole thing in Chicago doesn't count." Trouble replied.
"We'll take it." Maike said.
"I am going to need you're softnose Maike, as you well know they are illegal."
"Sure." Maike said sliding it across the table.
"Both of them" Holly said.
Maike sighed and slid it across the table. "Happy now?" She asked.
