Chapter 25 is here! Last chapter, Jonathan woke up to find a very cheerful Dina next to his hospital bed. After she apologized, and Jonathan cheered her up and swore to protect her if anything happened, there was a loud crash and screaming. Jonathan went to investigate and found Argis trying to kill Kira. Argis was frightened by Dina entering the room and begged for Dina to spare her life. Dina was about to kill Argis, but Jonathan convinced Dina to give Argis one last chance. She reluctantly agreed and Argis ran out of the hospital. This takes place later that day. On with the chapter!

Chapter 25: The Invisible Assassin

*Dina's POV*

After Argis left and her mess was cleaned up, Jonathan returned to his room while I went to check on the other two. They were both doing a lot better. Both were awake and able to clearly communicate, so the doctors told them that they were able to leave. Jonathan, on the other hand, still had broken bones, but the doctors let him go after finding out about his healing ability.

"I'm glad we're able to leave finally." I said.

"Me, too." Jonathan said. "But now there's the possibility of us getting ambushed. We're not in a 'safe' building now. We're in the open."

"Don't worry." Kira said. "We'll be fine."

"As long as Argis doesn't find us." Kelli said.

"Oh, I took care of her." I said. "I gave her one last chance and swore that I would kill her if I ever saw her go after any of us again."

"Good." Kira said. "I really don't want to deal with her anymore."

We walked for a while before I suddenly stopped just outside of Ilium Village. I motioned for the others to do the same.

"What's wrong?" Jonathan asked.

I walked forward and swung my fist at the air. I hit something invisible, but it let out a powerful electric shock that blew me back.

"Dina!" Jonathan shouted as he ran over to me. I weakly stood up.

"A force field." I said. I fired an electric burst at the invisible wall and walked over to where it was. I punched the invisible wall again, only to get blown back again.

"Dina, stop punching it!" Jonathan shouted. I stood up and kicked it with my robotic leg.

Big mistake.

The wall blew me back again, throwing me right into Jonathan and knocking us both down. I rolled off of him and tried to stand up, but my robotic leg wouldn't move. The wall had shorted its built-in power core out.

Jonathan stood up and summoned a sword. He swung at the force field and cut a hole in it, but the hole quickly closed back up.

His arm suddenly glowed. He punched the ground and summoned Thanatos. The legion slammed into the force field and suddenly froze. The wall was trying to repel Thanatos, but the ultimate legion fought back. It engulfed itself in flames and spun like a drill, but it was no use. The legion was engulfed in flames and disappeared.

"Damn." Jonathan said. "Even Thanatos can't break it!"

"Stand back." Kira said. She ran up and punched the wall. There was a sound like breaking glass as the force field disappeared.

"It was a magic shield." Kira said. "Someone didn't want us here, and they're nearby."

"How do you know?" I asked.

"There's a limited range for magic shields." Kira explained. "They can't be more than fifty yards away from the shield."

"That means they're still in the village!" Kelli shouted.

"Then let's get them." I said. I used my powers to fix my leg so I could stand up.

"By now, they could be in one of the dig sites or they could have teleported away." Kira said.

"No." I said. "They're in the fossil center."

"How do you know?" Jonathan asked.

"I can sense their power radiating from there." I said. "But I can also tell one more thing: it's not Argis."

"Let's find out who it is, then." Kira said. With that, we ran into the fossil center. Dina determined that the person was in the cleaning room, so we entered the room. We looked around, but we didn't see anyone. Jonathan walked over to the DP exchange booth and looked behind it.

"Are you sure they're here?" Jonathan asked. "I don't see anyone."

Just after he finished saying that, he suddenly gasped in pain and fell to the ground. I didn't see anyone, but I ran towards Jonathan and saw a large slice in his back.

"What the-?" I said in surprise. Then I heard a noise that sounded like a silenced gun firing.

I felt a pain in my back at the same time as I heard the noise. I knew I had been shot.

I spun around and looked for the source of the attacks.

"They're invisible!" I shouted before coughing up blood. The bullet had apparently pierced into my right lung.

"Dina!" Kira shouted as I fell to the ground. She ran towards me and punched the air in front of me. The air rippled and a girl appeared out of nowhere and stumbled back, ending up right next to me. Her nose was now bleeding.

The girl had white hair and green eyes with silver specks. She was wearing an outfit similar to Argis'.

"What are you doing here?!" Kira shouted.

"I didn't plan for the others to get hurt. You were my target." The girl said.

"Kira…" I said weakly.

"Hang in there, Dina!" Kira said.

Kelli suddenly screamed and charged at the girl, who fired an ice beam at Kelli. Kelli manipulated the beam into two ice swords and ice armor, much to the girl's surprise.

"Who are you?!" the girl shouted.

"I was going to ask you the same question!" Kelli shouted.

"My name is Jen." The girl said. "That's all you need to know besides that I have magic powers."

Seven black circles appeared on her right arm with different symbols in them.

"A legionator…" Jonathan said weakly.

"Now it's your turn to tell me who you are!" Jen said.

"I'm Kelli Willows." Kelli said. "That's all you need to know."

Jen suddenly formed a silver sword with glowing green markings and green flames. Her green eyes glowed, as well.

Kelli charged at Jen and slashed with one of her ice swords. Jen sliced the sword in half with her own sword, but Kelli ducked under it and slashed at Jen's leg, causing her to collapse.

"Not bad." Jen said. She threw a fireball at Kelli, but Kelli melted one of her ice swords into a water shield and extinguished the attack. Then she reformed the ice sword. Jen formed a lightning attack and fired at Kelli.

Kelli surprised us all with her next move.

Kelli suddenly turned her entire body into pure water and absorbed the attack. She then fired a water beam at Jen. The water was still electrified, so Jen was nearly electrocuted by the attack. Kelli returned to normal, but her ice armor and swords were now gone.

"You're… pretty… good…" Jen said as she struggled to catch her breath.

Kira grabbed Jen by her shirt collar and lifted her up.

"This is for hurting my friends!" Kira shouted. She threw Jen into the air. When she was right in front of Kira, Kira punched her as hard as she could in the chest, launching her across the room. There was a sickening crackling noise as Kira punched her, meaning Kira had shattered several of Jen's ribs.

Jen hit the revival machine, causing another cracking noise as her head hit the machine. A splatter of blood appeared on the machine and streaked down it as she crumpled to the ground. Blood also started dripping from her mouth and head.

"Did you just kill her?!" Kelli shouted.

"I'm pretty sure she's just unconscious, but she could be dead." Kira said. "It's pretty likely with her injuries and the amount of blood she lost."

"Let's help the others." Kelli said after a moment. Kelli walked over to Jonathan and Kira walked over to me. They checked our pulses and breathing. Since both of us were still alive, they rushed us to the hospital, leaving Jen behind.

"These two again?!" One of the doctors shouted when they brought us in. The doctor sighed. "You guys are always running into trouble…"

And that's the last thing I heard before I slipped out of consciousness.

That's chapter 25! Some of you may have recognized Jen from A Second Chance. Oh, well! Keep reading and reviewing!
