Mechsaga
Chapter 4: Joelle
Talking with friends
Clement and James stepped into my house. We were just done talking about how they're like best friends and how they help each other out. We went up into my room where we were talking. They sat down on the couch as we sat on the floor.
Clement said with great depression, Clement looked like he was about to go cry in front of the whole world, it's not like he hasn't done that before, but it was sad.
I asked him.
James said. He looked kind of sad, too. Maybe it was because of Clement. Maybe he was sad that Clement's family died. Whatever it was, it changed into a lost kind of look. he said. Everyone turned and looked at him. He said. Everyone stared at James as if he was crazy
"Gnoisis?" Lyndsey asked. "What is a Gnoisis?"
"A strange race of aliens that is on the verge of extinction." James replied.
"How do you know this?" Katie asked.
"A feeling," James said. "I kind of just got it, it just came to me".
"So why are they after me?" Clement asked. I was still in shock of how does James know this stuff.
"They're here for the necklace." James said.
"Well, they can have it. It's not worth losing my family for." He took off his necklace and put it on the table.
"Why do they need the morphing necklaces for?" I asked.
"They need it so they can destroy military bases and take our weapons. They already have 3 much more powerful Mechs than ours." James explained.
"So let me get this straight," Lyndsey said, "The alien race called the Gnoisis are here for the necklaces so they can take over our military bases?"
"Yeah, basically." James said
"Then how did Clement's brother get a hold of those necklaces?"
"He found it at a base in California." Clement said.
"How do you know this stuff, Clement?" Katie asked them.
"My brother told me this morning.which reminds me, what time is it?" Clement asked.
I looked at the clock and said "About 8:00."
"Damn it," Clement said, "I still have to find a place to sleep at."
"Sorry Clement but tonight my cousins are sleeping over at my house." James said.
"I'm not a good friend of Katie's or Joelle so I can't ask them." Clement said with a sigh.
"You can sleep over at my house." Lyndsey said softly. I knew Lyndsey didn't like him like him, but Clement liked Lyndsey a lot. I guess she was either being nice or she had feelings for him. I don't which one she was feeling right now, but she was being really nice. I heard something, I think it was thought-speak. But from who?
James whispered.
Clement whispered back. I could only hear this because I sat right next to them. I sat back and closed my eyes. I did this to pretend that I was sleeping so I could listen to them.
I Clement said as he puts his hands on his face.
James whispered back at him.
Clement whispered as he took his hands off his face. James put his hand on his shoulder and they smiled at each other. At that moment the doorbell rang. I ran to go get the door. I opened it up and it was..
"Hi Joelle, can I come in?" Jason asked.
"Sure." I said. He came inside and we all went upstairs. He entered the room and everyone greeted him. Clement was playing with his necklace.
"Hey Jason" Clement said as he sat next to him. It seems as if he had found something on his necklace.
"What are you guys doing?" Jason asked as he sat next to Lyndsey and held her hand.
"We're going throu-" Katie was interrupted.
"Jason, can we trust you to keep something and to only use in need?" Clement asked
"Yeah, of course. But why?" Jason replied.
"Here, hold on to this." Clement gave him a reddish silver necklace. He held it out to him carefully.
"What is it?" Jason asked.
"It's a morphing necklace from Clement's brother. He found it at a base in California." James told him
"Are you serious? Are you guys lying to me?" Jason asked.
"I'm dead serious, my family died because of this. If you help us.you can help everybody." Clement said.
"Sure." Jason said with caution.
It was a silent time as James and Clement tried to explain to Jason about what was happening. We went to play Mario Party 4 next to them. "That's it?" Jason said.
"And one more thing," Clement said, "There is a time stopping button, but I didn't try it yet. It was supposed to transport all of us into a world. a world where all you can see are teammates and white light."
Everyone stared at him. We stared at him as if he had the Plague. I stared at him and then I looked on my necklace looking for that button. I found a tiny button that is smaller than a dime. Is this it? Is this the button that will transport me to another world? I had to find out. I pressed the button. A flash blinded me an my friends.
