Yay, things are starting to heat up, the story will hopefully end at around 60 chapters, if I have to make it longer I'll start a new story, but as a continuation of this one.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Lorien legacies or any of its characters. Read on!
John
I gasp when I see Five, beaten and weak. In my mind I try to form a plan, but I can't focus. I finally decide to just turn invisible and try to wheel Five away. I inch backwards and turn left, hiding myself behind Ella, Marina, and Six. Six turns around and stares at me, I put one finger to my lips, telling her to be quiet. Her eyes widen but she nods. She watches me turn invisible, then turns around and tries to act nonchalant, but she still looks like she's calculating something in her mind.
Once I'm invisible I run towards the stairs, who are unfolding themselves to form one long moving escalator. Setrakus' head whips around, he probably senses me. I hold my breath and stand still, Setrakus furrows his eyebrows but turns around, seeming troubled. I fly up to where the mogadorian holding Five's gurney is standing, then I quietly land on the staircase directly behind him. I lean forwards and place my hands on the mogadorians jaw, making it clamped shut, he can't yell. I then press a pressure point on the mogadorians jaw, the mogadorian collapses, I catch him, then push him off the steps, where he falls to his doom.
"What was that?" I hear Setrakus call angrily. I smile. Then walk up the stairs to the ship. I find a mogadorian, then I get inside his head. I recently discovered a new legacy, I can control people, but only if their minds are blank (which works while they're sleeping,) or if they're willing to let me inside their head. I take my dagger out of my pocket and hold it up to the mogadorian's throat.
"Clear your mind," I growl, "or die." I stretch that last word out, for effect. I seem to do a very convincing job. The mogadorian gasps then looks confused.
"Just don't think about anything." I say, a bit anxious and frustrated with this mogadorian. I reach out to the mogadorian's mind, and see he's finally cleared his mind. I force the mogadorian to start down the staircase that leads to the ground, and wheel Five right to me.
"Hey! You, what are you doing?" Setrakus shouts at the mogadorian that I'm controlling.
I force the mogadorian to say; "I'm going to bring him back in. The straps have broken." The mogadorian forcefully says. Setrakus seems unconvinced, but nods.
"Very well, be quick," Setrakus barks. I make the mogadorian scurry up the steps, pulling Five along.
I stop controlling the mogadorian once he brings Five to me.
"Any last words?" I ask. The mogadorian's eyes widen.
"B-but," the mogadorian stutters, "you said you'd let me live!" The mogadorian whines. I shake my head.
"Well, your people invaded my home planet, things don't always work out." I say, I pull my dagger back, but I hesitate. When did I become this cruel? It's a war, I try to tell myself. The mogadorian in my hold tries to break free. I hold him in place. Five, still on the gurney, trapped, begins to struggle. He tries to say something, but it's muffled bye the gag.
I can hear screams and shouts from below. Come on, John! KILL him! The word 'kill' seems ugly and unnatural in my head. I shake off these thoughts, pull my dagger back and plunge it through the mog's chest. The mog falls out of my hands, then collapses to ash.
I release Five from the gurney, he stands up and stretches.
"Thanks," Five says. I nod in reply.
"Why did you hesitate? I could've been killed in that moment, an army of mogs could've stormed in here!" Five says, dramatically shaking his head.
"I-I needed…" I trail off, I know what I need. I need a long vacation away from this war. I need sleep, and food. I wasn't able to have any food, the mogadorians attacked us just as we were about to eat. Before that I haven't eaten in two days, now three, and I've barely rested. I shake my head. When I look up I see Five staring at me expectantly.
"We need to get out of here." I say, changing the subject. Five pulls open the metal door that leads to the diverse hallways of the warship. We both step through.
Five looks at me, concerned. Five pulls me to the side of the hallway, he looks me in the eye.
"I think we all need a break, especially you. But we-" Five is cut off by alarms wailing, then en explosion rocks the ship. Five falls over, he bumps me, we both fall down. Small pieces of plaster, debris, and dust rain down from the low ceiling. Five and I are soon covered in it.
"Go! To the engine room!" I scream, pointing to a door next to Five. Five pulls the door open, we both dash in. But, when we get inside it's not an engine room, it's some sort of study.
"This is not the engine room." Five declares. I look around, beakers full of strange coloured liquids rest on a wooden desk, and orange envelopes are scattered everywhere.
"Yeah, no kidding." I reply to Five, picking up a thick envelope. The label reads; NUMBER SIX/ MAREN ELIZABETH. I gasp, I open the envelope. Inside, dozens of pictures and documents fall out. Side shots of Six when she was young, playing in the snow or reading a book. Ones of her at some airport. They're all pictures from security cameras, or photographers that accidentally got her in the picture, I realize.
So, this is how the mogadorians found us, but they were always a step to late. Whenever they got these picture, or videos, we would already be gone. I smirk, the mogadorians are so stupid, the answer is right there.
I run around the room and grab as many of the envelopes as I can. I find a backpack on the floor, pick it up, and start stuffing it with envelopes. I find a laptop, I grab that and put it in the bag too. I grab more and more things, and stuff the bag until it can't take anymore. I zip the backpack up, then swing it onto my back, I buckle it to my chest so it doesn't fall off when we fight.
"Where should we go?" Five asks. I smile.
"Lets crash this ship."
Hope you enjoyed, please read and review :)
