wHOOOOO! HERE'S CHAP. 11!
Ana was flung from the hotel window; crashing through the glass and landing into the concrete below. She felt her spine fracture, her shoulder dislocated, and her legs were sliced up from the glass. She cried out at the pain.
"Ana?" She heard from above her. She turned her head up to see Jason and his date, Isabel, behind him. "Ana, what happened?"
"Give me a minute." She choked out as she rolled over into her hands. Her shoulder popped back into place as well as her spine.
But Jason got his answer when the alien that attacked her slammed through the window Ana was thrown out of and landed right in front of the three. Jason immediately reached into his satchel and pulled his helmet and guns from it. He pushed Isabel towards Ana and began to shoot at the alien.
"So, he doesn't own a dry cleaning business, does he?" Isabel questioned.
"Pffft." Ana pushed herself from the floor as Jason flipped by them. "Nope."
"Sorry." Jason added.
Isabel sighed, "it's okay, guys lie."
The alien then approached the three. Ana and Jason brought up their weapons.
"X'HAL!" Kori shouted. The three panned upward to see Starfire floating down with only a blanket covering her nude body. "You dare place your hands on the second daughter of Tamaran? Show yourself, so I can incinerate you where you stand!"
The alien immediately dropped to one knee and dropped his head. "I beg your pardon, your majesty! No, I beg a thousand pardons. Humble Orn should have called ahead. Or, perhaps, entered your domicile with more fanfare in order to wake you upon my arrival!"
"Yeah, like use a front door." Ana spat as she crossed her arms.
"Orn! It has been years!" Kori wrapped her arms around his large neck. "Is it any wonder I didn't recognize you?"
"It is enough that you do, princess!" Orn stated with glee.
"So, these two know each other?" Roy slipped down from the window thanks to a cable.
"Apparently." Jason shrugged.
"To what do I owe this planet fall?" Kori crossed her arms.
"A black shadow has fallen upon Tamaran...none but you might lift it." Orn announced.
"Sounds all Fifth Element-y." Ana shook her head.
"For real." Roy agreed.
"Uhm, hello!" Isabel called from behind. "Date here! Okay, I know I'm not all busty and glowy but still."
Kori turned around. "I've spent my life knowing that my people don't want me. Yet, you would not be here if it was not the utmost importance."
"Peddle your Tale Of Woe somewhere else, Orca." Roy slapped his shoulder.
"My name is Orn." He corrected.
"No one cares, Orca." Ana shook her head.
"Yeah, and Kori's not going anywhere with you, Orca." Jason added, cocking his gun back.
Kori sighed and faced Orn. "Very well. Let's go."
"Praise the seven suns!" Orn cried.
"Yeah, take a-whoa what?" Roy blinked. "Go where?"
"You can't go!" Ana's hair turned a bright yellow.
"Are you serious?" Jason dropped his hands.
"Commence teleport." Orn commanded into his wrist.
"Do not be distressed. I will return." Kori assured.
"What? We're not letting you go on your own!" Ana argued.
"No way." Roy shook his head.
"Foot down." Jason finalized.
Kori sighed. "As you wish." The ground below them began to glow a light pink before engulfing them entirely. When the light died down, they were elsewhere. Anaiz gasped, they were in space.
"Holy shit." Ana whispered.
"Your presence is urgently needed on the bridge." Orn states.
Ana was too enthrall was too enthralled to listen to what Kori and Orn were saying as they made their way to exit the room. She never thought in a million years that she'd be doing something she'd only seen in movies or on T.V. The stars were spread out like diamonds on flat black surface that surrounded the ship she was currently in. Her legs shook. She could faint. Or scream. Mainly because she was in space. But she was in so much shock, she didn't even pipe up. Well, not until Jason did.
"Seriously?" Jason spat.
"Right?" Roy agreed.
Ana heard a whimper behind her. She twisted her neck back to see Jason's date, Isabel, standing with her hands up to her chest and her legs shaking. The fear was practically rolling off of her.
"C'mon," Jason ordered, "we're gonna get to the bottom of this."
"Hmmmm." Ana grabbed on to Jason's sleeve. "Maybe you're forgetting something?"
Roy turned back as well and made an uncomfortable noise. He placed his hand on Jason's shoulder. "Yeah, I mean, maybe we should be looking around. You know, make sure we see everything we need to. Like, what was that girl's name again." He jabbed his thumb towards Isabel.
"Isabel," Ana answered.
"Yeah, why?" Jason turned around to spot Isabel trembling out of her mind. He frowned. Whoops. "Uh, hi." He waved awkwardly. "I can explain."
"Yeah, Jason!" She shouted. "Because you're so credible right now! I have no idea what that mask is about, but you should have told me what I was getting into, first date or not! And I could have made my own decisions! Or I'm words of one syllable-." She opened her mouth and screamed.
Ana groaned. "Don't do that!"
"What do you want me to do?!" Isabel snapped.
"Calm down!" Ana replied.
"How am I supposed to do that? How are you doing that? How old are you?!" Isabel rambled on.
Ana sighed as her hair and eyes turned her light indigo color. She looked directly at Isabel and stated. "Calm down."
Isabel immediately dropped her hands and sighed. "Yeah," she nodded, "yeah okay."
"What'd you do?" Jason reached forward and grabbed on to Isabel's arm. She complied.
"I can control people's emotions." Ana stated. "It's not easy, but when they're as freaked as she was, it can be."
Jason then led her through the immense blue portal that apparently led them to the bridge of the ship. Ana gasped at the aliens that occupied each section of the ship and stood back with her hair morphing yellow.
"Kori! You need to send Isabel home, now!" Jason ordered.
"No," Kori stated simply.
"Why not?" Jason's voice carried an agitated tone.
"She would be dispersed into the cosmic winds if we try to teleport her to earth without a docking station." Kori explained.
"You have no right to endanger her life." Jason crossed his arms.
"If it means anything, I give you my word she will not be harmed." Kori promised.
"Is that supposed to make me feel better?" Isabel trembled.
Ana rolled her eyes. Roy threw his arm around Isabel. "You don't know Kori."
"Depalo," Kori turned her attention to the tallest, skinniest alien that had no lips and a red dot on his head. "You may continue."
"Thank you," Depalo nodded, "less than three days ago, the intergalactic scourge known as Blight sent a first wave of attack at Tamaran, they've taken out all of the planet's primary defenses but have done nothing else. It's almost as if they're waiting."
"Waiting for what?" Kori questioned.
"You." Answered Depalo.
Abruptly, the side of the ship exploded. Roy and Jason grabbed on to Ana and Isabel; pulling them away from the flames. Ana screamed and gripped on to Roy's arm as he picked her up and yanked her away. Jason held Isabel as she fainted.
"Shields up, NOW!" Kori ordered.
"ALL HANDS!" Orn cried.
"K'tten!" Kori called. "Bring us about!"
"Aye, sir!" K'tten responded.
"Orn, open a signal to our assailant!" Kori demanded.
"Open." Orn confirmed.
"This is Princess Koriand'r, second daughter of Tamaran! You are hereby commanded to lay down your weapons and power down." Kori announced firmly. "Do this now and I might allow you to live. Once the battle starts, my generous offer will be rescinded."
Ana was hyperventilating now. Her hair was a bright yellow and she felt her legs giving out on her. How did she get here? Why was she here? She was trying to stop crying but she was freaking out so much. She heard Roy ask if she was okay, but her ears were still ringing.
All she could hear was ringing.
sORRY THAT SUCKED! BUT THANKS FOR READING! 3 R&R!
