Chapter Eight
A/N: Can't think, can't think! I've got a serious case of writer's block! dies of writer's block comes back to life I need inspiration! Help! Sorry my last chappie was confusing. I hope this one isn't as confusing as the last one... Answers to reviews are in the review page. You know, the page where reviews are shown. Soooo, what are you waiting for? Read this chappie and review!
Disclaimer: Do I sound like KA? Obviously not.
Claimer: My characters are mine. Kelbrids are half mine.
(Grab as many wrappers as you can and spread out! Visser Six, call The One,) Jake commanded.
(How are you going to call him without a phone?) I asked Istram.
(Phone? Excuse me, but have you ever heard of kelbrid technology? Do you even know it can increase thought-speak distance?) (Obviously not,) I replied, just as sarcastically.
(Listen and learn then. First, think of The One. Then, concentrating fully, direct your thought-speech towards him.) Istram said.
I fell silent, allowing Istram to focus his mind.
(Master, The One. We are in dire need of you. The rebels' reinforcements have arrived, and we are severely outnumbered. Please come as soon as you can.)
Istram seemed to have used up a lot of energy on that message. But, I still couldn't help but ask, (Rebels? You refer to them as rebels, like those unwilling taxxons?)
(It's just a name,) came his tired reply.
The others were already flying, and we heard Jake call out, (Fleeters landed, kelbrids heading our way Visser Six, stop taking your time! Up here. Now! Get ready....ATTACK!)
(That's a long speech,) I said trying to get Istram to reply.
Istram was either too tired to answer me, or he had decided to ignore me. I think most slightly it was the latter.
We rose into the air, flapping our wings hard to gain height. My thoughts were wild, hoping The One would arrive soon and get us out of this mess.
Grabbing a dozen or so wrappers from Mikit in our talons, Istram once more took careful aim.
(Now Visser Six!) Jeanne cried.
Knowing what a good shot she was, Istram took her advice and threw.
(Yes!) Istram exclaimed.
(Ermm...Istram? Won't the fallen kelbrids wake up after a while?) I asked.
(Not until the wrappers are taken off them. See, that's why the other kelbrids are trying to fly down. To free the fallen. They'll wake up in about five earth minutes after that.)
The battle raged. We were not the first of our side to get wrapped. Marco was.
(Maybe we're better at dodging.) Istram commented.
(I don't think so... Where is The One? If he doesn't come soon, we're going to get killed. Call him again.)
(Kelbrids don't kill. They capture. Anyway, I'll try calling him again,) Istram said.
(You should free Marco first.) I suggested.
(Whatever.)
(Visser Two! I'm going to free Visser Nine and call The One again,) we shouted.
(Cover Visser Six!) Jake issued the order immediately.
We swooped down and landed. After releasing Marco, Istram sent another message.
(Master, The One! We are losing and cannot hold out much longer. Please come now!)
After Istram contacted The One, a horrifying thought occurred to me. The two hours! It was almost up!
Istram, sensing my thoughts shouted, (Demorph! One at a time, the rest covering. Visser Two?)
Mustering all our strength, we flew into the air to cover Jake as he landed and started demorphing.
Unfortunately, the kelbrids realised what we were doing and a few of them dived down, aiming for Jake.
(Block them! Enard, to your right! Visser eleven, dodge!) we cried.
(Hmm...In this situation you seemed to have taken charge. Strange...) I commented.
Istram ignored that, and continued giving out orders. Then, out of the corners of our eyes, I spotted something. A lone ship.
A/N: Oooh! A ship! What do you thinks gonna happen? Well... you better review if you want the next chappie. Come on! I want more reviews! Somebody review! Please? hears something What's that?
