CHAPTER ELEVEN: UNINVITED VISITOR

Jinja had fallen asleep on Dax's chest. Dax was unconscious most of the time. He woke up every one hour just for a moment, saw Jinja, smiled and then fell back asleep from his pain. The sun was rising up; a weak ray got through the half-open metallic door and lightened the two injured bodies.

Suddenly a loud noise was heard and Jinja woke up.

Commander Trey was standing on the door with a small group of Elites behind him. Obviously, STORM must have split up all over the city to find them.

"Oh great" Jinja exclaimed

She didn't have the time to worry about Bren, Chase and Beyal. Her mission was to keep Dax alive, even if she had to risk her life.

She looked at him quickly. He was still sleeping, exhausted and he probably couldn't walk on his own.

"Too bad we have to interrupt your private party, but we have orders to bring you to Miss Charlemagne"

Jinja got up quickly. It took her a couple of seconds to try to get rid of the terrible headache she had.

"Look, Trey, I'm not in a mood for your little games. I prefer to kick your butt right now"

Trey was amused by Jinja's guts and laughed

"Don't even think about it kid, you are outnumbered."

"That's for sure, since you are such a chicken that you are afraid to get beaten by a girl"

Jinja saw Trey's irritation and decided to continue with the insults

"Seriously now, I wonder why Charlemagne chose you to be a Commander."

Laughs were heard from the elite's group.

"Stop it, you idiots!" Trey commanded furiously

"I challenge you on a one-to-one fight, if you dare. Now tell all your men to leave, now!" Jinja said, sure for herself

Trey knew that if he didn't accept her challenge, his men would think he's a chicken. Ego took better of him.

"Fine!" Trey cried "Elites, out!"

"Yes, sir!" the group cried and left headquarters

"Whipper, launch!"

"Riccoshot, launch!"

In Jinja's side you could see a frilled lizard-Monsuno, whereas on Trey's side you could see a huge bug-like Monsuno.

"Riccoshot, Seismic Charge!"

The giant Monsuno was ready to charge an attack to Whipper

"Whipper, avoid the attack!"

As it was told to do, the Monsuno avoided the attack by climbing on the ceiling

"Whipper, Sonic Blast!"

The big bug wasn't as fast as Jinja's Monsuno and it got injured right on his heart. This made it return to his Core.

Commander Trey was ready to launch another Monsuno, but Jinja didn't have the energy neither the power to fight.

"Whipper, knock Trey down!"

Whipper raised its tail and with a strong jerk, Trey was thrown on the wall. She knew that with an injury like this he wouldn't have the strength to fight. He stood up and left the room slowly.

Dax was starting to wake up for good and sat up.

"What, what happened?" he asked confused

Jinja was smiling at him "Let's just say that I got rid of some bugs"

Dax seemed to understand "Let me guess... STORM found where we are"

She nodded and felt like it was time for them to go "Do you think you can walk?"

"I can walk but I'm not that sure about you"

Jinja felt dizzy with every step she took, but she didn't want to worry Dax.

"Of course I can walk, what makes you believe I…" Jinja was stopped by a sharp pain "…can't"

Dax gave her a serious look "Come on Princess you can't fool me."

Jinja started to walk towards the metallic door with all her energy to convince Dax about her healthy "I'm not trying to fool you! That's it we are leaving right now and I don't want to hear…"

Jinja's voice faded and she was ready to faint when Dax ran and caught her

"Whoa, there Princess, slow down a lil' bit!" He helped her sit down "I'll go find something for your lil' head, I'll be back in a sec."

Dax picked up the first-aid kid where Jinja had found the alcohol.

He tied the bandage around Jinja's forehead with short and experienced moves of a doctor "That will help you with your headache"

"Wow, thanks Dax. I don't feel a thing" Jinja said, quite impressed from Dax's knowledge

He helped Jinja walk to the door "Now let's get going shall we?"
