Chapter Fifteen

Two

"What do you mean they are gone?" Eight asked.

"They are just gone, along with Sinistar," Two retorted.

"So where is Nine?" Eight asked.

"Right here," Nine responded from a nearby bush. "I got up there and then he disappeared. I am so glad that I am a fast healer or else I would be seriously injured."

"So where are the Clovers?" Two asked.

"When I got up there I heard von Light's voice say, 'Primordial Chaos wants the younger one, take the bigger one to the Smithsonian,'" Nine responded.

"So the others are in major trouble," Eight responded.

"Yes," Nine answered. He tapped his earpiece and said, "Grant we need you to teleport us to the Smithsonian. The larger Clover is there." The surrounding area disappeared to be replaced by the Smithsonian, destroyed by the larger Clover.

"I can make myself grow to take on that little miss," Treewood remarked. Indeed he did grow. He went from a mere 300 feet to 900 feet in an instant. The adult Clover turned around to look at him and charged.

Davante ran up to the group. "Sinnerstar and his group of cowards ran," Davante told them. "As soon as the Clover showed up they disappeared. We need to search the wreckage of the da Vinci tank out front. It apparently has the clue we are looking for." They all ran back to the front to look.

"We found an inscription on one of them," Lix told them once they got to the front. "It is in some language that I can't determine."

"Anything else?" Davante asked.

"Only a few graffiti words," Seven responded.

"Then let's go," Davante responded. He teleported all of them back to Hogwarts.

McGonagall was sitting at the table in front of them eating. "Welcome back," she greeted them, not looking up.

"How is Embry?" Six asked.

"In the hospital wing," McGonagall told them. "She says that she feels weak and wants to talk to Heb alone. I think that she might be dying and that she has decided that Heb would be the next Archer."

"Where is One?" Nine asked.

"Right over here," One responded.

"We need you to translate something," Hugo told him.

"Give it here," One responded. "It will take me awhile to translate it so you can relax. Grant is currently communicating with Nameless. The other M.U.T.O. has appeared. A monster surrounded by air has escaped from Mt. St. Helen."

"Great," Davante interrupted. "Typhon has escaped. That means that his fourth dimension personality can't be too far behind."

"No," Nine responded. "All fourth dimension contact has been destroyed. The Void won't be able to take over Typhon, but wouldn't it be better for the Void to take over Typhoon because it and Kurt are on friendly terms."

"No," Hugo responded. "The Void's allegiances are iffy. We have no idea who it would help. We would most certainly be fucked if it teamed up with Primordial Chaos."

"Embry is dead," Ten announced, he and Four having just walked into the room. "I am seriously going to miss her."

"We all will Tevi," Four agreed.

"We should give her a proper send off," Nine remarked. "McGonagall can you call everyone down here and have someone bring Embry's body with them." McGonagall nodded and her voice sounded throughout the castle.
