Author's Note: Ok guys... the moment you've all been waiting for! Thanks for the reviews; I am number 10, Annabelledash, The Robot Reader, ChildOfChaos, Cas and SoulsOfStardust (and anyone I missed!)

One POV

I feel invincible, on top of the battle – literally. We are on a rocky hill above the battle. I scan the battle ground... oh no... Adam!

"ADAM!" I scream, his body lies motionless, my eyes sting, they can't take Adam away from me! The four of us break into movement. Emily flies up into the sky, she dive bombs back a second later in a glistening steel skin. Eight jumps down onto the ground, then he switches back to his normal appearance... wait what? Eight sprints at the brute who's holding Adam and some chick hostage; the brute lays his eyes on Eight, his visor breathing out small puffs of white air. I hear a girl voice scream Eight's name, Eight looks over at her for a second before increasing his speed towards the brute.

I look to Two; she nods at me and gives a nervous smile.

"Let's kill some Mogs" I say, she grins at this,

"can you throw me?" she asks as she shrinks to about 4 cm tall. I raise an eyebrow, why not? I pick up Two's small body,

"Where to?" I ask, I've never done this before. The tiny hand points to the clump of Mogs Emily is currently battling, she's fast but is getting tired. I nod a Two,

"You ready?" I ask with a mocking grin, she shakes a bit then replies,

"As I'll ever be" she says, I peg her into the sky, I throw a little too hard and I'm afraid that she'll end up over shooting her target. I try to see where I threw her to, and then suddenly the small spec of Two grows into a 20 foot tall version of herself in mid-air. She descends on the ground with an enormous stomp causing Mogs to get thrown into the air; she easily picks them off 10 by 10. I smile then jump in, the air is rushing in my face and my emotions are replaced by pure anger. I punch the ground on impact – it seemed to feel right.

The shockwave of seismic energy ripples around me, like a stone being dropped in a pond – but about 10000 times more powerful and bigger. The one brute charging at me gets flipped over and falls on his neck. The other Mogs go flying – most disintegrate on contact with the ground. I look around, Eight is fighting the brute next Adam bravely, and Emily has gone for the other brute. Two has picked up the other one I sent flying back and is now, whacking it around. Then I look to Adam... no.

I run as fast as I can to him, my feet getting faster as I stride. Tears are now forming in my eyes; Adam's not moving, the chick stands over him with a Mog blaster, shooting any Mog stupid enough to get close to him. I reach him in a matter of seconds, and slide down next to him; he's bleeding a lot,

"ADAM!?" I scream, now doing CPR on him, he groans a bit then shuts out – he's slipping in and out of consciousness. I start crying freely, shouting at him to get up; I look to the chick and the Garde behind the red force field. Their faces in shock and sorrow,

"O-one?" Adam whispers, his voice is croaky and hoarse, I cradle his head. I know I should be fighting; with the whole ongoing battle, but I can't lose him,

"Stay with me Adam, stay with me!" I plead; he smiles and takes my hand,

"I'm so-" he starts, I interrupt,

"No, no, no! I'm so proud of you... please don't leave me..." I choke, trying to stay strong for him, he smiles at me, I lean in towards his face,

"ONE! LOOK OUT!" I hear Eight shout, I instantly turn to my right and see a brute coming for me, his footsteps shake the ground and small writing is written on his side – Subject 1...

Eight POV

I feel so alive, even though we could die any second after I jump. I look down at the battleground, the Garde are all in cages, and a red wall thing blocks their escape. I count Marina, Six, Nine... but Emily's sudden movement of flying into battle draws my attention. I jump down to the bottom. A brute stands in over a pale dude and... Sarah? Oh damn it.

I change form and sprint at the brute, the stupid Mog-hulk seems to realise this and turns his full attention to me. Great. I hear my name being screamed out – I look to the Garde cages, I see Marina; she's shouting my name, tears are streaming down her face and she's smiling hysterically, Six is too and Nine is cheering me on, banging on the red wall. I run faster, knowing that I'm almost with Marina, with the Garde, united again. The brute starts to run forward, striding widely for me. We're like two cars zooming at each other – both going to break and crash...

The clash between me and the brute is deafening, I'm stopped in movement, so is he. We both have our arms on each other's shoulders pushing one another backwards. sounds pretty silly, but if I let go – he could kill me right where I stand. Dust is kicked up – neither one of us is backing down; I wince at the pain of my left shoulder getting shredded slowly by the monstrosity. I hear Marina's voice again, and I am filled with energy.

I grow 2 thick arms from my sides, and punch the brute hard in the stomach, he groans and doubles over; his grip on me loosening – now's my chance. I punch him twice in the ribcage, turn around and judo flip him into the reddish brown ground. He lands with a thud. I look to the others quickly, Two is... a giant Two and Emily is fighting the other brute and One is... with the pale dude.

I throw the brute sideways, he goes into the air, I quickly teleport to his location, above him, and punch him down to the ground. He lands with a thud. I'm about to land on him and rip off his visor, but he moves out of the way very quickly. His hand rears back to punch me, I teleport behind him, and kick him with both legs, he stunned, then I teleport in front of him, punching his face and loosening the visor. I teleport from there to his side, but he grabs me instead and throws me to the ground. The wind is knocked out of me, and I hear Marina and the others shout. He throws me into the rocky wall to my right and runs towards One, just as I'm about to black out, I shout,

"ONE! LOOK OUT!"

Then I'm plunged into darkness.

Marina/Seven POV

He's here... I can't believe it. I'm crying now – not of sorrow but of happiness and joy. One of the girls flies up and dive bombs the Mogs ahead of her, her skin is... steel? What is going on?!

Eight jumps down and changes into his normal form.

"Is that..." Nine starts, but his question is answered when Eight looks at us, he grins then sprints towards the big Mog standing over Adam and Sarah. Nine starts cheering, punching the red force field in anticipation, Six is smiling widely, I think I see a bit of tears forming in her eyes. Sam and the rest are leaning up against the red material looking at Eight.

He's so hot... uh I mean, my emotions are really kicking into overdrive now. Eight runs faster, each step and push off increases with velocity. I'm so proud of him; I've missed him so much. The large Mog turns away from Sarah and Adam, and I look back to the battle. I suddenly see a giant person battling,

"Holy Sh*t" Nine says, pointing to the giant Garde. Six smiles and ushers everyone to look at the Garde fighting.

I go back to Eight. The clash between him and the large Mog is deafening, I can feel the power from in here! Nine has drawn his attention back to Eight, so has Six and Sam. I'm watching Eight fight off the large Mog and then someone runs into my view. A girl, blonde hair, and beach tanned skin – she's very pretty, Nine wolf whistles at her, she didn't hear it, but Six elbows him anyway. She runs to Adam, slides down next to him and starts cradling his head. Wait... that must be-

I groan of pain interrupts my thoughts, I look to Eight, he's holding his own, but slowly failing, I shout out his name – so do the others.

Come on Eight, you can do this...

Nine POV

Two words. Holy sh*t. That's what is to describe what I'm looking at. Eight is back; I've never felt so happy in my life,

"C'mon Eight" I shout, I punch the red force field with all my might, he pauses for a second then grows 2 thick arms! They punch the large Mog thingy in the stomach – it doubles over, Eight punches again then judo flips it! I'm cheering and shouting, I'm so pumped up right now.

The hot chick I saw before is with Adam now; his head is in her arms... she's crying. Eight is having the upper hand, teleport-kicking the fat Mog, and then punching him. he's amazing... but the fat dude seemed to have picked up on his teleporting routine. Eight is chucked into the ground, Marina cries out to him, Six slams the red force field and I just stand there motionless,

"Eight!" Marina screams, she's about to cry, the fat Mog throws Eight aside, his limp body crashing into the rocky wall next to him. The fat Mog is now striding heavily towards the hot chick, Adam and Sarah... oh no... guys get out of there. Eight shouts something to the hot chick in the last second,

"ONE! LOOK OUT!" he shouts, I look at the hot chick she reads him and turns to face the fat Mog. Six, Marina and the rest look at each other in shock. Number One. Number Ones alive?

"You piece of sh*t!" One says, I like her already. The fat Mog punches, but is broken against the force field projected by One. Wait force field – that's so cool.

The large Mog looks at his hand, then rears back for another punch, One stomps on the ground; it shakes violently – not like Adam's Legacy, but more powerful and strong. The large Mog falls backwards, the flying girl is finishing off the Mogs with the giant Garde and they're slowly making their way over. The two other fat Mogs are keeping them busy.

"ARGH!" One says pushing back the Mog with her tremors, the Mog picks up a sword from a pile of ash and swings it around wildly. One looks angry, very angry. Marina, Six and the rest are looking at Number One, waiting for her to move. Adam shuffles a bit then blacks out – man that guy gets KOed a lot.

The large Mog and One charge at each other, the Mog swings the sword round in a large arch, One ducks and sweeps his legs out from underneath him; he falls down with a grunt. One jumps up and attempts to punch the Mog in the face, but the Mog kicks One's gut and sends her sprawling on the ground. She's wounded, badly.

The large Mog advances on her, the visor covering his mouth puffing white air in and out; he's moving in for the kill. One tries to crawl away, but is kicked firmly towards Adam. Adam looks at her; he's on the brink of tears,

"Adam?" she whispers, he tries to crawl over, but the Mog kicks him further away. She's in a crouched position, she can't move...

"ONE!" the flying girl screams at her, she's zooming towards One, but is tackled down by the other large Mog, the Giant her shrinks and tries to get to One, but she is tripped over by about 100 Mogs. One's going to die. I look to Six she has a dark look on her face, Marina is still staring at Eight and the others are waiting in anticipation.

Number One died once, she can't again.

The large Mogadorian lifts up his sword and thrusts it straight towards One's chest. All I hear is the flying girl screaming, Adam shouting One's name and the giant Garde calling out for One. Then something happens in the half second that we're all still...

Eight POV
I really hate brutes, they're big, they're ugly and they're just plain rude I guess. I awake from the blackness and the vibe is not right. I look around, Emily is fighting Mogs and a brute, Two is fighting a lot of Mogs and throwing around a brute. But then I look to One...

Oh no.

A brute stands over her, a gleaming Mogadorian sword in hand, the pale dude is trying to crawl to her, but he has no energy left. The wind suddenly picks up speed, the sun is now beats down heavier than before, everyone is screaming, this moment will decide if One dies or lives.

One died once, she's not going to die again. I do what I must, I teleport...

Six POV

Just as the big Mog thrusts his sword towards One, Eight appears in front of her, NO! This can't happen again!

"NO!" One screams,

Marina is screaming his name, Nine is shouting, slamming the force field harder and harder. One is in shock. Time slows down as the blade moves towards Eight's chest, we're all screaming, Marina is crying and I think I see Nine shedding a tear or two. The flying girl is screaming Eight's name.

The blade reaches Eight's chest, but something different happens; the blade breaks at his skin...

One POV

I look at Eight in front of me. He was willing to sacrifice himself for me?

We all look amazed at Eight; the blade broke at contact with his skin! A new Legacy!

The brute looks at him in pure shock, he tries to stab hard again, using the sharp broken end of the blade, but it just becomes blunt with every stab at Eight. Eight is still in shock, once he snaps back to reality he teleports around the brute punching and kicking it. I get up quickly and cause an earthquake, knocking the brute to the ground. Eight rips off the brute's visor when it's on the ground, and using the broken blade; decapitates the brute. It turns to ash slowly, the particles flowing in the wind. My heart is beating madly through my chest. I almost died.

It's over, we won.

Emily and Two run over to us, they're covered in ash, their brutes lie headless on the brown ground about 40 meters away from us. Emily and Two hug Eight viciously, Two breaks away, and Em still is hugging Eight. Eight laughs a bit from the sudden gesture and pulls away. I walk up to Eight and cross my hands,

"ARE YOU CRAZY?!" I shout at him, he smirks a bit, I'm now smirking too – it's like a contagious thing he has going on.

"A simple thanks for saving my life would do, but I like this better" he says, I hug him, I still can't believe that he would have sacrificed himself to save me, even though he was so close in being reunited with the Garde.

I pull away and run to Adam.

Eight POV

Two kindly deactivates the force field with her Technokinesis Legacy, Nine can't stop taking his eyes off Emily – I sense something's going to happen there. Emily tucks a bit of hair behind her ear as the force field goes away – I smirk.

As soon as the force field goes down, a high speed blur comes racing towards me, it jumps and tackles me to the ground – it's Marina. She doesn't even let me say anything, she just kisses me, her hands go around my neck, my hands around her waist. Her lips are soft, and the kiss is filled with passion and emotion – I'm caught up in this amazing moment, but then realise everyone is watching and waiting for me. I pull away, almost out of breath, she looks at me, our faces almost touching – she's crying, I get to my feet and lift her up, I hug her, she fiercely hugs me back, not letting go.

"I love you" she whispers into my ear, her voice breaking every time she ends the sentence, I squeeze her harder, I start to tear up – I've missed her so much, the other Garde and humans make their way forward; One is with the Adam dude, Two and Emily are beside me.

"I love you too Marina... I love you too" I whisper back, she buries her head into my shoulder, after about 2 minutes of hugging we break away. Marina looks like she's about to cry again, so I take her hand.

The others look at me with awe and disbelief. I see Nine smirking and Two and Em grinning from the corners of my eyes.

"Eight?" Six says, coming forward, I grin in response; a look of relief comes over her. The others walk with her towards me, I can't see all of them but they're all smiling widely.

It's good to be back.

Author's Note: hey guys, hope you enjoyed that! I know you've been waiting very patiently for the reunion... so there it was! Please review and tell me what you guys thought!

I'm not really one for shipping, but who do you reckon I should ship Emily/Five with?

Thanks again

Bless (Icelandic for goodbye)
