Chapter 19: Give It Up
Zaltana looked to the ground and spit in front of her feet. "In the spirit of my ancestors I spit on my fear and I'll summon my tribe." Zaltana looked around at her friends. "Daughters of the Outer Planets, and my brothers hear my call" She looked into the eyes of the man in the business suit, "it's time we fight like we were meant to."
Duncan and Rowen left Orana with Cyrus and walked up behind Zaltana. "Hey Zal, you wanna start the fight or should we let them make the first move?"
"Lets see, I never thought of us starting a fight." Duncan and Rowen looked at Zaltana as if she was joking. "Your move. Make it wisely." The man in the running suit threw the ball of light that he was controlling. "Kineta NOW!"
"On it!" Kineta threw the Light ball hopping to hit the one that was flying at them.
"Zal duck." Zaltana felt someone's body push her to the ground pretty hard. She closed her eyes on the way down and grabbed for anything she could get. When she opened her eyes she saw Rowen lying on top of her. "It would have taken your head off." Rowen moved off her and helped her up.
"Thanks." Zaltana turned back to the two men. The one in the business suit was lying on the floor while the runner was checking for a pulse. "Run back to your Master and tell her that she won't win against us. For two reasons."
"What?" the runner asked.
"You're the one's messing with forces you don't understand, and," She smiled over at Cyrus.
"We're too damn cocky for you to win." Cyrus added in from sitting with Orana. The team watched as the two disappeared into nothing but a slight puddle on the floor. "Orana, are you alright."
"You guys we're amazing. Thank you." Orana said as Cyrus helped her up.
Cyrus pulled the battle of bands flyer out of his pocket. "This band, is it the Sons of Jupiter?"
"Yeah it is. We were board so we made a band." She looked at her watch. "I really have to get to the battle to help set up and sign in and stuff."
"Do you need a ride?" Rowen asked.
"I've got my car. But you guys can follow me if you want, meet the guys and hang out a bit while they tune up." She explained.
"Why don't you take Zaltana and Kineta with you so if they attack you again you'll have back up." Zaltana and Kineta looked at Duncan with the death eye. Duncan shot back the cool guy glare.
"Okay. You two wanna come?" Orana asked Zaltana and Kineta. Kineta shrugged at the same time Zaltana did. "I'll take that as a yes." She laughed. "Come on. Follow me to my house and I'll let you guys drop your stuff off in the basement and freshen up."
"Thanks we've been on the road since yesterday."
"Figured. Come on."
