Chapter 8 - Katie Saves The Day

"WHAT?!"

"Diana right! Java scared!" Java shook in his boots.

"MWA HA HA HA HA HA!" Jeviono laughed. She snapped her fingers and Diana, Java, and Katie (A.K.A. Angel) saw Martin's body materialize on the golden alter.

"What are you-"

"Why, silly girl. Did you think I would give up easily. I think not! Martin is the perfect vessel! He'll be a perfect host for the monster! Just stand back and watch," she began to chant in some unknown language and Martin's body glowed. His shirt was literaly ripped from his body. The symbol on his chest grew brighter and brighter causing him extreme pain. Katie didn't know what to do. Martin had the

U-Watch and she only had her hands.

"Martin wake up!" Diana yelled.

"Martin!" Katie screamed, "I won't let her get you! Not you!" Katie ran foreward and knocked Jeviono to the ground stopping the chanting. "Surprise!"

"You can't stop me! No one can!" Jeviono pushed Katie off and started to chant again only to be brought down by Java tackling her. Diana rushed to her step-brothers side trying to wake him up.

"Come on Martin!" Diana shook him hard. "WAKE UP!" she yelled into his ear and clobbered him on the head.

"He won't wake up girl! The spell I put on him keeps him asleep and his spirit dormant until I can finish the spell. I won't have you brats spoiling it. Too bad for my last vessel...she died a most horrible death."

"News flash lady! I'm back and with a vengance!" Angel stood up and tried to tackle Jeviono but she sent Katie flying into Diana sending them crashing to the floor. They brushed themselves off and stood up. Katie noticed that Diana had taken the U-Watch. "Can you use it?" Katie whispered.

"Yes. Now I need a distraction..." Diana whispered

"Don't worry," Katie said in a low voice, "I can handle that." Katie tried another tackle at Jeviono but she dodged again and continued to chant. Soon Martin's body was no more than a dark shadowy black. Soon a shadow came from the alter. Katie jumped at Martin letting the monster enter her. Martin's body fell on the alter and Katie was Katie anymore. Here eyes were red and her hair was pink. Her back erupted wings and her hands grew claws.

A portal opened up behind Diana. M.O.M stepped out of the portal Billy followed.

"Is that Katie?" M.O.M asked angrily.

"Yes," Diana noded and looked at Martin, "We have to get him off there!"

"You won't,," Jeviono laughed, "You see...the monsters power is still in him. It will have to take his power one way or another. My personal choice is the another. Do it my friend."

Katie's claws slashed Martin across the chest. The power raidiated out of him, soon the symbol on his chest was gone and blood came out of the wounds inflicted. Diana launched the grapling hook and launched in around Martin's body pulled him off the table. Java caught him.

"Martin hurt!"

"We know Java. Come on Katie. Remember when you used to tell Martin stories about your adventures or when you took Martin and I out into the forest for hunts. I hardely ever went because I'd rather read a book but Martin...he always went with you. He'd come back all happy and hyper. Mom would have to drag him to the tub and place him in cold water. Come on! You have to remember?"

"Martin...would always find...the...mons-"

"Enough! Kill the boy!" Jeviono screamed.

"Not today!" Diana activated the U-Watch.

Eye cutter selected.

Diana held the sword look alike and lunged at Jeviono. She dodged.

"Don't be stupid girl."

"I'm not!" Diana laughed, "Look what I have!" She dangled the charm from her hands.

"NO! GET THAT BACK!" Katie lunged at Diana who activated a shield. Katie's body flung backward into the alter.

"Try and remember what you have now Kaite! You wanted to know what Martin, Java and I had for adventures. You wanted to know! You want to protect Martin! Katie remember who you are!!!" Diana screamed and threw the eye cutter at Katie.

"Diana no!" Martin yelled weakly.

"Sorry Martin...had to be...done," the monster choked and collapsed. The wings and claws disappeared. Her eyes returned to normal and she fell onto the alter. Her body began to disappear before all their eyes. "I came back to help. Wish I could have stayed longer...I'm always with you guys..." Katie looked at M.O.M, "Watch over them. I'm counting......on you." Her body disappeared for good.

"She was dead, she only came back to help Martin because she knew he was in trouble," M.O.M informed Billy, Diana, Java and Martin. "Let's get you agents back so you can heal." M.O.M entered through the portal. All the people that were taken were returned and had their memories of the event wiped out.

-----------------

Diana watched as Martin slept in a hopspital like part of the centre. She really felt sorry for him. He was so close to hanging out and talking with Katie once more and again she was torn from him, from this world. Their bet could wait. M.O.M placed a hand on Diana's shoulder.

"Huh?" Diana looked up at the woman.

"He'll be fine. We think that Katie's spirit was so strong that she came back and helped her cousins. Wouldn't you say so?"

"More then you think."

"He'll be fine. We can wipe his memory of Katie being around but somehow I don't think it will do much good. It's up to you Diana."

"No M.O.M, I don't want you to do that. What happens when we're growing impacts who we become. This will end up making him stronger," Diana smiled, "Anyway...how will he remember our bet?"

"I guess. You can see him in a few moments. Call me when he wakes up." M.O.M left Diana alone. Java walked up to her next.

"Martin wake up soon?"

"I hope so Java." Diana brushed away some tears as the doctor came out.

"You can see him now. Be quiet. He's asleep."

"No duh!" Diana exclaimed. She walked in and saw Martin. He stirred and woke up. Great. The doctor is going to kill me!

"Hey sis," Martin spoke.

"You sound horrible," Diana moaned.

"Cause I feel horrible. Diana did they save-" Diana shook her head no. Martin looked down at the sheets. "No..."

I'll end the chapter there.
