Chapter 7 – The rescuing
Artemis listened carefully. Had someone just tried to open the door? He wasn't sure. Then he heard a voice outside.
"Artemis? Are you in there?"
Artemis stood up, and walked to the door. "Juliet?" he whispered.
"Yes, are you all right?"
"Yes, I'm fine. What about Holly?"
"Her and Root distract Koboi."
"What?!"
"I know you're worried, but I'm sure that they can do it! And you would be too, if you were thinking with your head, in stead
of your heart!"
"Ok, ok… You're right. Can you get me out of here, or what?"
"I can try… Stand back!" She kicked the door open, and Artemis came out.
"Nice work."
"She hasn't had time to make this place that protected. The security cameras suck too. There is only one, on this corridor,
and it's only recording one direction, so it can't see us right now."
"Good. Let's go, and help them."
"Ehm, Artemis…"
"I know, don't tell. You got orders to get me out of here, and only help them, if they called you?"
Juliet nodded.
"But Juliet, they're moving directly into a trap!"
"They know."
"But…"
"When did you get so reckless? Oh, I see! You're doing it again!"
"Doing what?"
"Thinking with your heart. That girl has indeed changed you! Where the hell is Artemis? I must have saved the wrong boy!"
"Stop it! And you're probably right again. Let's get out of here."
They went down the hallway, and tried to find the way out, but they hadn't walked long, before Juliet told him to stop.
"What's wrong?" asked Artemis.
"Shh…"
In her headset she heard Opal Koboi's voice: "Coral! Pete! Do that later. They'll still be here, when you come back. Get the
boy up here. NOW!"
"You won't get away with this Koboi!" She heard Holly say. It sounded like she was hurt.
Then Juliet couldn't hear anything but scratching sounds.
"They're in trouble, and Opal's friends are coming this way!" Juliet said.
"Come on," Artemis opened the closest door, and pulled her inside. They heard footsteps outside. When the two fairies had
passed the door, Juliet sneaked out, and overpowered the two fairies. They were lain down on the floor, before they even
noticed what happened. The two humans ran down the hallways. They found the stairway, and walked upstairs.
Opal laughed, when Holly and Root entered the room. "Oh, welcome!" she said. "Coral, Pete! Deal with them!" The two
fairies behind her drew their guns, at the same time as Holly and the commander. Opal put herself out of sight behind a huge
armchair, when the laser rays started to fly through the air.
Holly tried to shoot the girl, Root took the guy, but Pete and Coral were extremely fast, and in ashort while Commander
Root was laying on the floor, and the magic sparks started to heal the wound in his head. Holly was hit in her left side, and the
strap that held her extra safety line, was broken. Holly tried to hold the two enemiesin check, but soon she also collapsed,
and fell down on the floor, hit in her right leg. Her magic started to heal her, but she knew it wouldn't help her. Pete and Coral
walked slowly against her.
Holly's head hit the ground, and by chance, the microphone in her helmet was turned on by the hit, without Holly noticed.
"Coral! Pete! Do that later. They'll still be here, when you come back. Get the boy up here. NOW!" Opal said.
"You won't get away with this Koboi!" Holly said weakly.
"Well, I think I will," Opal said, and turned to Coral and Pete. "So, what are you two waiting for? Go get the boy!" They
looked disappointed, but they left anyway.
Juliet pointed down a corridor. "They went this way," she said. "Foaly, are you still with me?"
"Yes Juliet, I am," Foaly answered in her earphone.
"How is the situation?"
"Hmm… There's no more pictures from the commanders iris camera. He's unconscious right now. Shot in the head, but don't
worry. The magic handles that, it's not serious. Holly's magic is also working, but not that fast. I don't know if she's awake."
"Can you tell me where to go?"
"One moment." Juliet waited. "Ok," Foaly said. "Straight ahead, then left. There is a door. They're behind it."
"Ok, thanks Foaly."
Artemis and Juliet stood outside the room, listening. Opal was talking in there. They couldn't hear what she said, but it seemed
like, that she talked to someone. Probably herself.
"Ok, when we're in there, you run to Holly and Root, and see what you can do. I'll deal with Koboi."
Artemis nodded. That was doubtless the best way to do it.
Juliet kicked the door open, and ran inside. Artemis followed her. Opal shot after them, but missed them both. Juliet knocked
her out with a kick in the head. Too easy.
Holly was sitting on her knees on the floor, next to the unconscious commander. The blue magic was sparkling around the two
fairies, when they healed themselves. Nothing to help with there. Juliet tied Opal with some rope she found, possibly Holly or
Root's safety line, that one of them had dropped, and then she sat down on the floor next to Artemis, waiting for the two
fairies to finish healing.
So... Please review!!
