Chapter 8: The Escape
"DROP YOUR WEAPONS NOW!", One of the men in the S.W.A.T helicopters demanded over a megaphone.
"Over my dead body!" , Jupiter defied. The others just stared up at the 5 helicopters above them, unlike Jupiter they were speechless.
"Jupiter, shut up!", Saturn urged. He didn't mean to sound so rude, but he didn't want to make trouble with the law. He stared up at the blinding lights from the helicopters again. "You don't understand! WE AREN'T THE BAD GUYS! IT'S A BIG MISUNDERSTANDING!", he yelled loud enough to speak over the roar made by the helicopters.
"SAILOR SOLDIERS! YOU HAVE NOW BEEN RULED RESPONCIBLE FOR THE ATTACKS ON THE CITY! YOU ARE UNDER ARREST! DROP YOUR WEAPONS OR WE WILL HAVE TO USE FORCE!", a S.W.A.T officer yelled, clutching an intimidating looking laser gun in his arms.
Jupiter looked infuriated now. His eyes were red and it seemed as if he was about to explode. "YOU IDIOTS! WE SAVE YOU'RE DAMN CITY EVERY FUCKING DAY OF THE YEAR, PUTTING ASIDE OUR PERSONAL LIVES AND YOUTH, AND NOW YOU ARE ACCUSING US OF DESTROYING IT! THAT'S BULL SHIT! YOU DROP YOUR FIRE, OR I WILL BLAST DOWN EVERY ONE OF YOUR DAMN HELICOPTERS!"
"JUPTER!", Saturn snapped at Drake "What the heck are you doing! You are just going to make them angrier! If we talk to them like that, they will really think we DID do all of this."
"He is right.", Venus growled softly, "But these cops can really be idiots sometimes."
For some reason Cole suddenly thought about Matt again. His silence and lack of eye contact was really starting to take a toll on him.
"YOU HAVE JUST THREATENED AN OFFICER OF THE LAW! I WILL NOT ASK YOU TO SURRENDER ANY LONGER!", the same S.W.A.T officer cried. "FIRE!"
On direct command, each of the 5 officers charged their laser guns to full power and blasted a powerful ray towards the tower.
The blasts had barely missed the Soldiers. It was obvious they were still trying to scare them. The blasts had seemed to shoot from the gun and with powerful ferocity, cracked through the titanium without any trouble.
Saturn looked below the side of the tower and saw that almost the entire police squad in the city was down below. Their guns were also charged for fire.
A few moments passed and without warning, the SWAT helicopters sent off full powered laser blasts at them. This time, they were precisely on aim.
Saturn thought quickly on his feet and sent a light beam out of his gold headpiece that seemed to counter the blasts.
"What do we do now!?", Mercury asked. He was more panicked than he had ever been before. It was probably because now the police squadron below them was now firing their weapons at the building.
"We have to get out of here. They wont listen to reason.", Venus said. "Mercury, you know what you have to do."
Andrew gulped but then charged a baby blue sphere in his hands. "MERCURY BUBBLE----BLAST!" Out of the sphere came millions of tiny blue bubbles that seemed to blue everything around them in a thick mist. This bought them a little time.
"What do we do!? We have little time.", Venus asked.
"Well," Saturn began, feeling his usefulness as leader surging back in him "We can't jump, so we have to teleport outta here."
"BUT TO WHERE!?", Mercury screeched.
Cole felt very sick. He was sure that his parent's house had been destroyed in the explosions. He just wished with all of his heart that they evacuated in time. He swallowed hard and said softly. "My apartment should do." The boys could hear more shots being fired from below and above. They knew that they must hurry. Saturn's heart sunk, he heard footsteps on the roof. One of the officers must have jumped down. "HURRY!"
"SAILOR…", The Soldiers said in unison, causing their uniforms to glow "…PLANET…TRANSPORT"
Normally in order to transport, all five soldiers must be in unison, thinking of only the destination they wished to go to. If even one of the Soldiers concentration was off, the transport would be unsuccessful and fail.
Cole thought desperately about his apartment. Every detail…every image…everything. When he opened his eyes, he wanted to see him home so badly that it was as if he was already there…but then he could see Radix and Maddox, destroying their city, and possibly Cole's true home…then Matt, and his quiet appearance. He hadn't spoken a word to Cole since the Sirix attacks and it was slowly suffocating him, he wanted everything to be normal…just like it was 3 days…3 long and lonely days ago. He felt the warmth from all of the glowing fade away. Slowly, he opened his eyes…
