Chapter 11

Virgil lay there peacefully; he looked as if he were asleep. The cave was now quiet. Not a soul in sight. Virgil became transparent, and disappeared. His body left a small pink crystal behind. He reappeared in the pool area on Tracy Island. Virgil sat up straight his eyes wide open. His breathing came in gasps. He looked down, he was still wearing his International Rescue uniform that Nora handed him, and his brothers.

He quickly pulled up his shirt to see his chest had a bruise.that was it. Virgil got up and ran up the stairs onto the balcony, and into the lounge. He held in his hand the small pink crystal. Why he didn't bring it with him on his travels was a mystery to him.

"Father." Virgil yelled Jeff came running inside followed closely by Alan. Thunderbird 5 must have been on auto.

"Virgil where have you been, why does Alan tell me there is a Thunderbird 7." Jeff yelled

"Father it's a disaster. The future is littered with a war between Brainses daughters---I was just killed."

"What are you talking about Virg you've never been to the future-hell none of us has?" Alan yelled Virgil looked at Alan.

"Wanna make a bet." Virgil pulled up his shirt to show the huge bruise that was a dark purple and green.

"Is that where-?" Alan asked kneeling down; Virgil's eyes never left his fathers face.

"How did this happen son?"

Nora's heart was beating fast. Scott and his brothers lead the way. The dark temple stood in the distance. It looked as if an army waited for them. It was small, the Tracy's held twenty-one men/women, and the odds were against them.

Scott knew they had no chance in winning. All he knew was that his brother was dead and he wanted revenge-He wanted Holly

Gordon couldn't help it. Tears fell down his cheeks, he wanted his brother back, and he wanted his brother back. For once he wouldn't have it his way. Now someone was going to pay.

John hadn't felt this way since his mother dies. Nor had he hated someone so deeply. He didn't want to fight. He wanted to rectify a mistake made nineteen years ago.

Brains leaned over and looked at Nora as they walked nearer to the temple.

"You know w-what I told you I-I wasn't uh scared---I laid." Brains whispered Nora laughed and walked faster.

"Alright this is a fight to the finish. It's kill or be killed. Show mercy only to those who have been wounded. No one else. Is that clear." Nora yelled.

"Yes sir." Everyone yelled in unison. There funs prepared to fire.

"Char---."

"Are you coming in or not?" A young boy said his face a dark cream color, his hair a dark brown, his eyes a bright blue.

"We wish to see Holly." Scott yelled and balled up his fists.

"I know. I can hear everything that goes on in everyone of your minds." The boy moved so that company could walk in. The boy looked about the age of eleven or twelve.

The boy led them into a small chamber to see a girl that looked remarkably like Nora. Except she was a total opposite, Holly had blonde hair, and brown eyes while Nora had black hair and blue eyes.

Nora took off her glasses. Her patch glistened in the torchlight.

"Does it still pain you that I was able to kill father then cut out your eye?" Holly laughed Nora pulled out a gun and fired it at Holly. The bullet stopped turned and hit Gordon in the head.

"Gordon!" John yelled and caught him before he fell. He laid him flat on his back. Scott checked his pulse-nothing." Scott stood up straight.

"You bitch." He yelled and charged at her. She held out a gun and pulled the trigger. At that same time another gun fired and hit Holly in the chest. Scott stumbled and fell to the ground. John had a gun in his hand; smoke came out of the barrel. Scott stumbled and fell to the ground. Holly hung limp in the chair. Brains ran to Scott, at the same time Adnan ran to his mother. Nora held a gun to the kid.

"Where are the other children Adnan."

"In the dungeon below. Take them and." Adnan looked at Gordon, as his body grew transparent, and disappeared leaving the pink crystal behind.

"Another one." Brains said and picked up the crystal and looked at Scott. His body was gone too; she picked up the crystal beginning to run.

"No time dad lets go." She yelled and opened the door to the dungeon.
