Chapter 26: Invasion

"Ronjad," said Blue to him. He was still sleeping and it was 11:00 am. Ronjad had promise to help her learn how to drive an airboat.

"Will you wake up!" shouted Blue. She frowned, but then she got an idea. She walked to the other side of the room, then from there ran and jumped onto Ronjad.

The impact made him fall out of his bed. He staggered to his feet. He looked towards Blue glared hard, "What the heck was that for?"

"Don't you remember?" said Blue, "You promised to teach me how to drive an airboat today!"

Ronjad stopped glaring and smiled, "Oh yeah. I had a big night last night."

"You and Lovrina kissed?" said Blue smiling.

Ronjad froze and stared at her hard. "Where did you hear that?" he said.

"From Lovrina," said Blue, "She was so happy, she shouted it out to the whole hospital."

"I'm going to kill her," said Ronjad, "Then burn the rest of her to ashes!"

"Take it easy!" said Blue, "I was joking! But did you really kiss her?"

"No!" said Ronjad blushing, "I was just so horribly shocked at such lies!"

Blue smiled, "Sure you were! Anyway, I'll be waiting at docks for you to get ready to teach!"

She left the room and went over to Melody waiting. Blue smiled and said, "I think Ronjad and Lovrina kissed! You know what that means?"

Ronjad who over heard them through the wall, open the door and said, "No, but do you know what this means?" He gave them "The Finger" sign and slam the door.

"No," said Melody, "I still don't know what that means!"

"Boy," said Blue, "He's sure in a crappy mood. Like always."

Ronjad later found Lovrina in the hospital's fountain relaxing.

"You know," said Ronjad, "Ithink you are disobeying a health code for this place you know."

"So what?" said Lovrina, "Sue me!"

"I was wondering," said Ronjad, "Do still keep contact with Cipher?"

"Yeah," said Lovrina, "I keep telling them I can't find you."

"How did you know where to find me anyways?" said Ronjad.

"Just a hunch," said Lovrina, "And an inside tip from a secret member of Cipher."

"Wait a minute," said Ronjad, "An inside tip? That would mean one of my friends contacted you!"

"Well not me," said Lovrina, "The head honcho of Cipher! It's a big company! I only know at least 25 of all the people at Cipher. So who ever it is, it either one of your friends or someone else. But considering how big this comp. is, It could really be anyone."

Lovrina words scared him, an inside job? Which of his friends? Then another question came to his mind. "Aren't the people worried you been gone to long?" said Ronjad.

"Worried?" said Lovrina, "HA! They could hardly care less! Even with out my special abilities to Cipher, they'll still find someone to replace me, and soon I'll be forgotten and the only way they still know I exist by keep paying me. This job is a depressing one, but it is living."

"But what if they come to find you," said Ronjad.

"They won't," said Lovrina, "Trust me."

"Trust you?" said Ronjad. He then burst into laughter. "I wouldn't trust you if you were begging your life!"

"Believe what you want," said Lovrina.

"Anyways," said Ronjad looking up and seeing a bunch of angry hospital workers coming their way, "Here comes some of the staff of the hospital. Better get moving before they catch you."

Blusix (instead of calling him the pilot, I'm going by his real name) walked down the path to the jail. It was that time of week when he would check all the prisoners to see if they are here.

"I wonder what by bros are doing right now?" thought Blusix, "If I went back, would they believe I have a girlfriend? Probably not."

"I don't believe it either," said Brock.

"Oh, you shut up," said Blusix.

Lovrina walked into her room, and locked the door and windows. She turned on her laptop. A man appeared on the screen.

"Lovrina," said the man, "What is your situation today?"

"Nothing different than before," lied Lovrina, "I'm sure that he died along with that girl, so what the point of keep looking, Ein? This a boring and stupid job you gave me."

"To find remains or him alive," said Ein, "We need the research to find out what gone wrong. And I don't care if it a boring job, you are going to do it until we find him dead or alive."

"I still don't think I'll find him," said Lovrina, "I doubt that he is still alive."

"Well," said Ein, "Report back tomorrow with anymore news. This Ein reporting out."

"Yes sir," said Lovrina nodding. She sighed; she didn't want to give up Ronjad. She loved him. Then she thought of something. How long can she keep up hiding him from Cipher? They are pretty smart. They may already know she's hiding him. Either way, she has to keep lying.

Far away from Shamouti Island, in Orre, Ein walks to his boss. He was going to turn in his report on what Lovrina told him, but it wasn't much different from all the other reports to Cipher.

Nascour looks over the report and looks at him, "This is the same as last time. She keeps thinking he's dead. I know he is still alive, somewhere."

"How are we supposed to know if she is telling the truth?" said Ein.

"That is your job," said Nascour, "I want to you to go with some peons to Shamouti to find out what she is really doing there. And I don't want you back until you get her to come with you!"

"Fine," said Ein, "I'll be back with her as soon as possible."

Back out on the island, Melody told Ash about what told her in thinking Ronjad kissed Lovrina.

Ash was laughing hard, "Lovrina and Ronjad sitting in a tree. K-i-s-s-i-n-g! First comes loves! Then comes marriage! Then comes Ronjad with the baby carriage!"

"Oh yeah?" said Ronjad appearing from behind him.

Ash froze and turned slowly. Ronjad was upset. Then he punched Ash to the floor.

"Bad rumor is afoot!" said Ronjad, "I'll stop it!"

"Stopit!" said Lovrina running over to him, "Stop hiding it! We kissed and we love each other! Sooner or later, they would have found out!"

"Yeah," said Ronjad, "I guess, but I want to tell people when I want to!"

"I knew it!" said Ash jumping to the floor, "This is going to be great to tell everyone about! Best time I ever had!"

"Oh yeah?" said Ronjad, "I'll ruin it. You were adopted! Lovrina and Domino are really your sisters!

Ash was had terrified look on his face now. Ronjad smiled, but Lovrina was shocked.

"I wanted to tell him that!" said Lovrina, "At the right time!"

"There is never a right time to tell anyone that piece of information I told him," said Ronjad with a big grin, "Now my day is looking up now."

A week later, Melody did mange to get the word out about Ronjad kissing Lovrina, but it didn't seem to really matter at the moment. The news about Ash being related to Lovrina and Domino was shocking enough.

Ash was totally scared of them now. Every time he saw Domino or Lovrina, he turned a different direction. It was pretty hard to avoid them now, they kept trying to him it was alright being related to them. But it didn't seem to help his situation at all.

It was also a problem because of their alien group meeting each week. Domino had joined it to help out. So it was pretty hard with Domino and Lovrina there.

"Ok," said Ronjad, "Today's topic, Sakura: Were Is She? Anyone have any new sightings of her?"

"Not very recent," said Riche looking over his notes, "The last time she was sighted was at the pool about 6 weeks ago I think."

"So we haven't had any real good sightings," said James, "We even had her face on missing posters saying to call us if she is spotted."

"That's a problem right there," said Ronjad, "That would keep her away from the town if she saw a sign like that. Thou, there aren't many areas for her to hide, this is kind of a small island we are on."

"So she has to be here somewhere," said Domino.

"Unless," said Blusix, "She left the island and his hiding on either Fire, Ice, or Lighting Island."

"Possible," said Ronjad, "But we don't have a larger amount of people for a sweep of the island. Then if we did, I'm sure the birds over there would have a problem with us on their private property."

"That's a good point right there," said Ash.

"Can't we try to see if the prisoners right now we have might know?" said Domino.

"I love to see you try to get something out of them," said May, "They are stone cold about giving things out. I love to see you crack them for info."

"There is something I want to see if possible," said Ronjad, "I guess that includes this week's meeting. Next week, we talk about taking over that old motel over there for our own use of sleeping and living there because the hospital is tried of having us there."

Everyone returned back to their rooms. It wasn't much of a meeting, but it was everything they could do. James was no where near of making a cure for this infection.

Not to far from the hospital, out by the junkyard, a bunch of helicopters were landing down in the yard. The labels on them read Chiper.

"You know," said one of the men getting out, "We got to fix these labels of the helicopters, we are called Cipher, not Chiper."

"The boss is too cheap to spring for fixing the labels," said another one.

"Enough of your talk crap," said another man, "In the morning, we track down Lovrina and get her to come back. And you are right, we do need better labeling."

The next morning, Ronjad meet up with Casey in the dinning area.

"So are you going to get that old motel for us so we don't have to keep living here?" said Casey.

"Of course!" said Ronjad, "The town is even letting me have the motel for free! They said it could be fine if I fix it up good, each could take for ever."

"That's good," said Casey, "I don't think I can stand being here anymore. I think a ghost of a patient who died here is following me, because every time I turn around, I see someone dashing into another room."

"It just the hospital getting to you," said Ronjad, "Everything will be find when we get the motel."

"I hope you are right," said Casey, "Because I'm cracking up! I think I need to move to another place soon or I'll lose it! You hear me? I'll lose it!" Right about there she is shaking Ronjad.

"I hear you!" said Ronjad, "Stop shaking me!"

"Sorry," said Casey, "Did I tell you that I'm I dating some now?"

"No," said Ronjad, "But I feel sorry for who ever that person is."

"Just try saying that again," said Casey.

Ronjad put his tray away and walked to the lobby. But what he saw there freaked him out. He jumped behind the main desk to hide. It was Cipher. They found him again.

"Shit," said Ronjad, "Can't I get a break from these guys?"

Ronjad then over heard them say, "Lovrina's signal is coming from here. Time to get her to come back."

"They're after her," said Ronjad, "Better find her."

Blusix yawned, and got dressed. He promised today he take May to the newly opened restaurant in town for breakfast. They finally opened it.

"Better get going," said Blusix, "Don't want to leave her hanging."

Blusix heard some people running by. He looked out, he didn't believe it. It was a bunch of Cipher peons.

"Crap," said Blusix, "Why are they here? Didn't Lovrina give her report? Oh no! She turned in Ronjad and she called in for backup. I got to stop her!"

Lovrina jumped into the pool far from the hospital.

"Glad I finally got that stupid tracking device off me now," said Lovrina, "I don't need them coming here and bugging me."

Ronjad and Blusix ran into the pool area. They looked fanatic.

"Oh hey guys!" she shouted to them, "You come to join me? Where are your swimsuits?"

"Lovrina!" said both of them yelling, "You're in huge trouble! Cipher is here, because of you!"

"What?" said Lovrina stunned.

"Cipher is here after you!" said Ronjad, "They want you back at their base!"

"No!" said Blusix, "She probably sold you out and called for reinforcements to bring you back!"

"I didn't!" said Lovrina, "I love him, why would I sell him out?"

"I don't know your twist plot!" said Blusix.

"Blusix! Calm down," said Lovrina, "Just relax, I didn't call them here. But now that they are here, Ronjad needs to get out of here as soon as possible."

"I need too!" said Ronjad, "But can't leave to island, remember? They're preventing anyone from leaving or entering the island. Wait a minute, your name is Blusix, pilot guy?"

"Never mind that, listen,Domino got around the blocks," said Lovrina, "You need to get to her, and make her take you to somewhere safe."

"But if I got to find her at the hospital," said Ronjad, "They'll find me."

"But you have the advantage," said Lovrina, "They aren't looking for you, just me."

Ronjad peered into the hospital; he didn't see any of the Cipher agents at all. The coast was clear.

Ronjad walked in, so far so good. Maybe they left. But then Ronjad dove for a newspaper and pulled it over his face. The agents walked into the lobby.

"What's the situation?" said one of them.

"She's not here," said another one, "She removed her tracking device, now we lost her."

"Shit," said the first one, "We really need to make ones that harder to get off."

"Hey," said one of them to Ronjad as he passed, "That kind of hard to see that way if you got a newspaper covering your face."

But he ignored them and walked in the hallway to Domino's room.

"Domino I need you," said Ronjad bursting into her room.

"You still want me?" said Domino, "But Lovrina loves you more, you shouldn't disappoint her."

"That's not what I meant," said Ronjad, "Cipher is here! I need a way off the island. Can you get me away from here?"

"Not if I have anything to say," said someone walking in. Ronjad turned, and then he blacked out while hearing Domino screaming.

Ronjad woke up later; he and Domino were tied together. They were tight tied together tight. He looked around, he was in his room.

"You know," said Domino, "I always want to be close to you, but not in this way."

"Enough with the poor ass comments," said someone walking into light. It knew that person from Lovrina's photo album. It was a Cipher Adaim called Ein.

"I always knew I be the one to find you," said Ein, "You bastard escaped from Cipher to long. Now I take you back to were you belong."

"Do you worse," said Ronjad, "F--king bastard."

"When he talks like that to villains it's so sexy," said Domino in a flirty way.

"Don't worry Ronjad," said Ein, "I'll do my worse."

"Not if I have anything to say about it," said a voice. Ronjad turned his head towards the voice. It was Lovrina.

"Ah Lovrina," said Ein, "You come to watch greatest as I take back the only living soul to escape alive from Cipher's clutches."

"What do you mean only living soul," said Ronjad.

"You were the only person to ever escape from a Cipher prison cell. Because of Miror B. you escaped for so long, but now it all over," said Ein.

"No," said Lovrina, "It's not over. It's all over for you, Ein."

"What do you mean?" said Ein.

"I mean, if you so touch as a single hair on my boyfriend again I'll kill you," said Lovrina.

"Boyfriend?" said Ein with a grin, "Looks like I found a traitor to Cipher, I'm sure Master Greevil will love to know this, he'll make sure your torture beyond all belief. Also, I loved to see you even try bitch."

"Have it your way," said Lovrina. She pulled up her alien stun gun and shot him. He howled in pain and was launched against the wall.

Lovrina ran over to Ronjad and hugged him. "I'm so sorry I led you into this," she said.

"No big deal," said Ronjad, "That was pretty hot how you stood up against him."

"That's my sister!" said Domino proudly, "No way no can push us around or our boyfriends. Now could you untie us? Please, this is weird with me and you boyfriend tied together."

"Ok!" said Lovrina smiling and untying them.

Ronjad got up after she was done, and looked at Ein. He checked for a pulse.

"Why are you checking for a pulse?" said Lovrina, "He's dead."

"I don't believe and neither will you," said Ronjad getting up, "He's still alive. He's infected."

Later at the jail, Ronjad, Domino, and Lovrina tell everyone about the meeting with Ein and he being infected.

"There has been more signals released?" said May, "That means there could be more infecteds."

"As of right now," said Ronjad, "That's the best guess I have. But I have a feeling that if there is anymore left, they come here."

"Why here?" said Riche.

"Well," said Ronjad, "To come back to rescue their other infected allies. We could be in for an invasion of infecteds coming our way. We most get ready, they'll be coming. This could turn into something I fear the most, war."
