Chapter 11:
Once outside, they were just leaving when something collided with Jack's car and it exploded, the once Mustang was now in bits and the rest was engulfed in flames. Jack started in horror at his favourite car and whirled his head around in anger to see who was responsible. But his anger turned to fear, when he looked up and saw the Siphon was flying above them on a jetpack.
"What? He is still alive? He was vaporized by our ship's core" Seth said.
"Seth this is another Siphon. You didn't know because you were out cold." Sara explained
"Move" Jack shouted, and pushed Sara out the way as a shockwave skimmed past their heads and hit the house causing the house to be torn apart.
"Sara read my mind, do what I'm thinking" Jack ordered, but the Siphon wasn't going to wait as it aimed another well aimed shot at Sara, it would have hit her if it wasn't for Seth. He lunged in the way and took the hit and didn't seem fazed at all.
"Seth, you're still weak" Sara screamed
"Focus on Jack's thoughts, Sara and do as he says. I will be fine" he smiled confidently at his sister "You're gonna have to better than that, you test tube freak" Seth shouted tauntingly at the Siphon. This seem to have struck a nerve and the Siphon sped toward Seth but he saw it coming and the Siphon passed by him and smashed into the floor.
"Is that all you can do?" Seth teased. The Siphon let loose a large roar as it appeared to be really mad and charged at Seth, but he ducked out of the way of the Siphon's punches and if a punch got too close, it would pass right through Seth's body and it seems that his taunting at the Siphon was doing the trick because it had taken its mind off the real problem. Sara.
"Sara, now!" Jack shouted. Sara threw her arms out and the flaming Mustang flew toward the fighting pair. Seth ducked just in time but the Siphon wasn't so lucky. The Mustang collided full force with the Siphon and both went flying down the street.
"Now let's move" Jack said, lifting Alex up and running in the opposite direction. The siblings were in hot pursuit.
"We can get the truck that we left about a block away, if we can make it in time" Jack said. Seth and Sara nodded in agreement. They reached the car and just as they got in, the Siphon shot in the air, looking around frantically. "Come on let's move" Alex said, Jack turned on the engine and turned in the opposite direction, just as the thought they were safe. A shockwave wave comes out of nowhere and blasted the road in front of the car, the four looked up and the Siphon was still on their trail. "Hang on" Jack said, as he put his foot down on the accelerator.
"Sara, give us a hand" Jack called. Sara nodded and put out one of her hands and the car shot through the streets reaching a speed of 150 miles per hour. The Siphon was left far behind.
"Yes" Alex cheered
"Right lets head to Witch Mountain." Jack said
"Sara you can stop now" Sara withdrew her hand and the car slowed down.
"You never told us when your race will start to attack" Alex asked
"The attack will commence at sundown" answered Seth.
"Then we haven't got a lot of time, Sara we need your help." Jack said and once again the car lurched forward to the distant Witch Mountain.
