Chapter 25

Marina POV

We're on our way to see John, Sam, Sarah, Malcolm and Adam. My heart is palpitating wildly, and I realise it is because I'm excited. Nine is taking the wheel, and for the first time in ages he's smiling, with not a worry in the world. For now, at least. Gone is the guilt for being responsible for Eight's death, as he's concentrated on fighting for Lorien instead, for the sake of Eight. I'm happy too. Who can blame us? We just destroyed another headquarters, successfully escaped from it, and he and Six are now and item.

Okay..not really. As Nine hums a tune, he puts his hand on Six's thigh. Six jerks away instinctively and glares at him. "Come on, babe, you know you like it." Nine says in this flirty tone.

"I'm not a 'babe' (nose wrinkles in disgust) and I do NOT like it, or you, as a matter of fact." Nine grins and Six edges away, shouting, "You're so annoying!" Their tomfoolery makes me smile.

I look out of the window, at the scenic view that passes by. It's been two months since we've been separated, two months since Eight's death. Yes, I can accept that now. Although inwardly I've been through so much emotional turmoil, I've come to accept Eight's demise. He will never come back, no matter how I may lie to myself, that's reality. Nothing will ever be the same, but I have to learn to let go, to move forward. The past two months, we've grown stronger,matured wiser. We've made new friends, lost our legacies,gained new ones, trained, destroyed the Mog's medicine and headquarters. So much has happened and I feel like I'm 50 years older.

So as the car moves, I look out into the blue sky and send a telepathic message to Eight, if he's listening up above: I miss you so much. I wish you would come back, but I know that you won't. You've served your duty well for Lorien. You were strong and powerful, and despite your mighty powers, when you were alive you were not arrogant; instead you were humble, patient, kind and caring to everyone around you. I wish that we could have developed our relationship but even so, I'm thankful that our paths did cross and that I had you for a part of my life. You will always be a part of me, and even as I go on in life, I will never forget you. I love you.

The light from the sun glints off the surface of the glass window, and I see a tiny but visible rainbow. I lean back, satisfied. There is still hope in this world.

Ella POV

I stare vacantly into the lush green pastures, which is just about all the view the car offers. Everyone else is talking loudly about their past experiences and how excited they are about seeing Marina, Six and Nine again. None of them notice that I'm not talking, because I have no idea what to say. Their conversation make me realise how much I missed out when I was trapped in the headquarters, and I feel very left out.

I thought after being reunited with the Loric and humans, I will feel at home again, but I'm far from feeling that way. Ever since I found out I wasn't one of the Ten, being instead Setrakus' heir, I felt like I was separated from the rest. No matter what they say, I still can't convince myself that I'm where I'm supposed to be.

Of course I'm happy to see them, and of course I can't wait to see the rest. It's just that-I don't know if it's because of the time I've spent in the headquarters, where all the hatred built up inside me, but I don't feel the same around them anymore.

"You okay, Ella? You're a bit quiet back there." John calls. I force a smile and lie, "No, just a bit tired."

"You sure?" Sarah climbs over the seats and plops down beside me, ignoring John and Sam's protests. She smiles at me and I smile back, comforted. They do love and care for me, and I for them. It's just that I don't think anything can be the same again.

As Sarah makes small friendly talk with me, I glance down at the phone Kesia gave me. She said to call, to maintain contact. I've come to love her greatly, but should I contact a Mog that is still influenced under Setrakus? I glance at everyone around me, who seem oblivious to my inward feelings. With my fingers shaking, I dial the number.

John POV

"You overshot the junction!" Sam yells. The minivan I'm driving (I took over from Malcolm) whizzed passed a busy road. I have to make a U-turn. I glare at Sam. "Thank you, esteemed navigator."

"You're welcome." Sam curtseys and I laugh. Sam seems to have gotten over Six, and its good to see him return to normal again. He's my best friend, and I'm so thankful to have him by my side.

"Let me take this," Sarah snatches the directory from Sam and flips through it. "U-turn, then enter Woodley Road, then turn right to Woodley Stadium, park the van and meet at the back gate." I nod and follow her directions. So much better.

As we turn into the stadium (which we arranged to meet at), my heart seems to beat faster, and I'm wild with excitement and anticipation. I really can't wait to see the others, my siblings who I've grown so fond of. We've been apart from two months, and I wonder how much they've changed, both physically and mentally. Then I realise they'll be wondering the same things about us as well.

I park the van and step out of it, legs shaking. Somehow, I feel nervous, but in a good way. From the way the rest walk, I know that they feel the same as well.

We walk to the back gate of the stadium, and as we walk, I see three tall, familiar figures from a distance. My heart skips a beat. They're here!

I can't take it any longer. I break off into a sprint towards them. When they spot us, they start running too. Nine and I reach first and collide into each other.

"Oomph!" On contact, we hug each other, then break away. Nine seems taller and thinner, yet more fit and muscular. His hair has grown longer and his clothes are torn. He has this certain look in his eyes that lets me know that he's been through a lot of pain and suffering the past two months. Somehow, he seemed to have matured and be more mellow and gentle, not as boisterous and vicious as before.

"Hey, Johnny," Nine finally says, grinning. "Glad to see you back on the team."

"Now I have to put up with your pesky ness again. I nearly missed it." I joke. I pull at his hair. "You need a haircut."

"You should look at yourself, mother." Nine says, but he's smiling.

Six and Marina who were hugging the rest came up to me. Six. She has this exhausted look on her face, but yet she looks as strong, stubborn and steely as before. Although I know longer have romantic feelings for her, her beauty takes my breath away. Six. One of a kind. She's the first Loric I met, the one that saved me when I was inexperienced at fifteen, and I never want to lose her again.

I kiss her cheek gently, and she looks at me, puzzled. "I missed you so much," is all I can say. Six smiles faintly. "I missed you too." We have to embrace again, and I smell her familiar scent of warmth and freshness. I don't want to let go.

Out of the corner of my eye, I see Marina. I walk towards her. She looks thinner, yet stronger, and I know that she has become a much more powerful Loric. If it's even possible, she looks more mature and motherly, and I know that on their part, Marina was definitely the leader. I'm proud of Marina for coming out of her shell and becoming more vocal and strong.

"Hi." I smile. Marina pretends to look cross."You saved me for the last?"

"The last is for the best." I reply and Marina laughs. "Fine, you're forgiven."

I look around at all of us. A mix of Loric, Mog and human. Who knew that one day, we'll be united as one. It's an emotional affair; I see everyone hugging and talking. There's not a dry eye to be seen.

I look out into the horizon and smile. We've been separated for two weeks, and each of us has grown in our own way. We have a lot to catch up on, and a lot to learn from each other. I know that the war is far from over. Even after destroying two headquarters, I know that Setrakus will just be regrouping, redeveloping his whole plan. A larger army will be sent, and we may have to go through great suffering. But for now, all this doesn't matter. What matters is what I see now: a family.

Five POV

I stare out of the window, arms crossed as Mogs move boxes into my room. We had to move to the nearest headquarters in Colorado (one used for soldiers and kids in combat training) certainly not for meetings and housing of generals and Setrakus, but until we rebuilt and relocate the headquarters the Loric destroyed, what choice do we have?

The fire and explosion in the lab took all of us by surprise. Years and years of research and inventions, even the most lethal drugs for the Loric that were just going to be released, all gone, all wasted. Even the papers of work and research by our scientists, analysts and researchers are burnt or stolen. To redo stuff like that could take another decade.

Out of the 1000 people and 500 creatures, only 600 people and 230 creatures has made it out. We are searching through the wreckage, but the chances of finding other casualties is doubtful. The whole headquarters was unrecognizable, because of the fire, but the scary thing is, the number of bodies we found were very little, meaning that Ella made them disappear from the ends of the earth through her advanced telekinesis.

We just received news that Six, Marina and Nine, who were held in the Nigeria headquarters, have escaped as well, destroying the entire headquarters and most importantly, destroying a drug. I don't know what use it has (top secret) but apparently it could destroy them once and for all. This double whammy has been our greatest unexpected defeat.

I've got to applaud the Loric and humans. How they escaped such a major headquarters with the best generals and Setrakus himself is unthinkable. The humans had no legacies or any means to escape, yet they somehow managed to. I bitterly fight back the thought that I indirectly helped Adam to escape. This means that the allies they have are much more powerful than we think. We have to power up on our surveillance and not belittle them. It also leads me to wonder if they truly have other allies, as vehemently as they deny it.

Kelly is now a bit cold towards me. I don't know why. Surely it's not because I didn't convert Adam to the Greater Force? I thought she'll be glad to see the end of him. Such an idiot anyway, joining the loser team. I thought she hated her brother. aher recent treatment to him proved that. But somehow, when she trains the pikens, she hits them harder, pushes them further, but with this sadness in her eyes, and also-guilt? I don't know and I can't be sure.

Setrakus just hides behind closed doors all the time. He doesn't talk, doesn't come out, doesn't do anything. All his orders come from messengers, and he won't see anyone, even me. I know he is holed up in there, trying to figure out how they got away, how we messed up so bad. The loss was bad enough for all of us, it must be humiliating for him. Our Mighty Beloved Leader, losing to his enemy planet and humans. According to the generals, he's trying to track them down, as well as make new plans for us. It will be a long road, and I know that if he wasn't alert before, he definitely is now.

And me? I've been helping with the moving and plans. After Setrakus scolded me for my foolishness, he refused to talk to me. I have this feeling that I lost my chance to become general. But while bossing other people around and learning new Mog skills, I'm in a daze. For some reason, my mind keeps drifting back to the Loric. I don't know when, but after their escape, what struck me was their bravery, intelligence, determination and loyalty to Lorien. Their love for Lorien astounds me. Is Lorien really that wonderful? All my life, I've been fighting for Mogadore, pleasing Setrakus and helping their race greatly. Sure, I get pride, glory, honour. But what else? I'm just feverishly working..for someone else. Who is supposed to be my enemy- for the first time that sinks in.

Stop it, I chide myself. You're being brainwashed again. But the dreams are true. I've had them ever since I killed Eight, though I've never told anyone. I see this tall old wise man smiling at me. Somehow I know that he is Pittcus Lore. Each time, he just says two words: "Come back." And each time I just shut him out. Until now.

Sure, I can't stand the Loric, especially Nine, and even Marina for taking my eye. But now that I think of it, while in the midst of Mogs, I've been the only one of my kind, and I've been feeling lonely. Shouldn't we work as a team?

But bring down Setrakus- that's not right. I still have the Mog beliefs. I'm still loyal to the Mogs, and I don't want to leave them. Forget about the Loric, I'm just being delusional. But no one is persuading me, I'm persuading myself. My mind is in a whirl.

"Five, no matter what happens, you'll eventually find yourself back in Lorien. It's your destiny." I hear Albert's voice in my head. My hand on the window sill shakes vigorously. My heart is pounding wildly.

Just then, there is a knock on the door. "Master, Setrakus wants to see you." I nod, trying to hide my mixed emotions. What should I do?

Guess we'll find out.

Setrakus POV

I can't believe it. I actually allowed the Loric and humans to escape.

I thought our army and surveillance was good. What the hell happened? We lost our years of research, medical potions and Mog civilians. What kind of leader am I if I can't defend my people?

The Mogs might think that I'm a useless leader, all talk and no action. They may rise a rebellion against me. I fear what would happen if that were to come true.

All my life, I've boiled down to resentment for Lorien. I worked so hard to exact revenge, to get rid of their planet. And only six of them remain. One of them working under me, one of them not even one of the Ten. So close, yet so far. How can I let them go again?

Slowly, I look down at the documents on my desk. I slowly write down '500 more soldiers, 30 more generals..." and so on. Mog families living in peace on earth have to come join this battle. Even if it means dragging them away from their families to be trained, I don't care. They are Mogadorians. They sacrifice for their race.

I see the other documents. Eight's encased body still cannot be found among the rubble. His body is still in ice as we haven't started experiments on him yet (and we want to preserve his body obviously, like the first three) Thankfully, Four and the humans couldn't find him, because he was in the most private place ever: my room. And everyday, I touch his forehead to read his past memories and thoughts before he died. It's interesting, really, how the Loric think. Their loyalty and faith in Lorien was so cute and pitiful, it could make you cry.

I look at the last information I found. Where the Lorien's two ships are. I can't remember if I retrieved that from Malcolm's laptop(was it his?) Sarah's bluster or Eight's memories, but I know where it is now. Even if the Loric 'succeed', there's no way they can leave Earth. Which means that no matter what, they will never succeed.

And we will win this war.

Narrator POV

A few thousand miles away, all the way in Minnesota, lays a huge wreckage of a building. Newscasters of America are swarming around it, trying to make a head or tail of what had happened. Eyewitnesses say they saw the building catch on fire before it toppled over, but not before part of it was disintegrated into nothingness. A few bodies are found, none of them alive. Traces of illegal medicines and drugs were discovered, leading us to wonder if the 'Bank of Minnesota' was really a bank after all. Investigations are still ongoing.

Meanwhile, through the busy search, there's a dark teenaged boy under all the rubble. He is encased in thick solid ice. As the days go by and the search continues, the ice slowly melts until there is just a puddle of water around the unmoving body.

Through all the chaos, there's a sudden gust of cool air. There is a moment of silence, then stillness, as if something is going to happen. The boy's arm moves.

I hope you liked the ending! I don't wanna disappoint y'all.

This is what happened through the story in summary:

John, humans and Adam were in Illinois, Minnesota then Wyoming, they escaped from the headquarters while rescuing Ella.

Six, Marina and Nine were in Texas, Mexico, Nevada then Wyoming. Nine developed a legacy, Marina got over Eight's loss, Six got closer to Nine.

Ella spends nearly all her time suffering with the Mogs before being rescued. She develops advanced telekinesis and with training, grows stronger. After that, she feels out of place and contacts Kesia, a sign that she may be helping the Mogs

Adam has not reconciled with his family, but Kelly misses him greatly

Five was not promoted to general and although still with the Mogs, he feels a certain guilt and urge to be with the Loric after Pittacus comes to him in dreams.

Sam was growing closer to Sarah, but eventually decided that she and John were meant to be.

There are paperwork stolen from Mogs that could help them in their quest.

The drugs made by Mog scientists were destroyed.

Setrakus knows extra info from Sarah and he knows where the ships are.

Eight might be alive.

Fun Trivia:

I wanted to give John a legacy while he was rescuing Ella, but I decided to focus on Ella's telekinesis.

Sorry for not talking about Six in detail. I noticed too late. Promise il write her in more!

I realised that I made Nine too OCC, and Marina get over Eight so quickly. Sorry about that, I'm not good with description.

I didn't finish the description of the other Loric. I guess il add that in later.

I originally wanted John and Marina together, which I realise now is pretty stupid.

After they met, I wanted to add more fun and fluff with them together, but I didn't know how to end after that, so I decided 25 chapters was pretty standard.

Nine was supposed to get over his visions of Eight with Six's help, and Eight was supposed to disappear forever.

I will start a new fanfic in a month's time of the continuation of this sequel. Meanwhile, please check out my other fanfic I Ship Who? And I may start new one-shots based on Nix, so stay tuned!
