Moon's P.O.V.
"Sun!" I shout at my twin standing across the plaza. He turns to look at me and grins evilly before starting to walk towards me.
"Sun?" Dallas says from behind me.
"Before I broke out of the Rabbit Hole, Lester told me they had started on my twin brother Sun. They must have sent him to come get me." I say.
"Lester? Why do I know that name?" Dallas says to himself.
"Hide, Dallas!" I say as Sun stops about ten feet from me. This breaks Dallas from his thoughts and he runs off.
"Well, well, well." Sun says, crossing his arms. "Made yourself some friends, have you?"
"Yeah. What's it to you?" I ask.
"Nothing much." he says. "It just make it that much harder to get you back home."
"I'm not going back, Sun." I tell him.
"No? Because I was told that don't have to be brought back alive."
"You're my brother, Sun. I don't want to hurt you."
"Odd. We may be twins, but I don't have the same hang-up."
As he says this, his arms light on fire and he throws a fireball at me. Not having enough time to put up a barrier of any kind, I dive to my right and roll behind one of the food court's tables that got knocked over as the mall-goers ran off in a panic. I use my powers to lift the table and throw it at him. The table hits him and he's sent sprawling. As he lands, he rolls backwards so he's on his feet again.
After recovering his balance, he takes a few steps forward and shoots a flamethrower attack at me. I quickly put up a barrier of psychic energy which diverts the fire around me. However, he doesn't let up on this attack. He continues to shoot this flamethrower at me. I can feel my barrier weakening. I focus my energy and morph my barrier in to a parabolic dish to redirect his fire back at him. Once again, he is sent sprawling across the floor. He gets up.
"That is IT you son of a BITCH!" he shouts and launches a volley of fireballs at me.
I manage to deflect most of them by pushing them away, but I miss one and it hits me right on my left arm. I fall to one knee and hold my arm. He's walking towards me, but I create a blast of psychic energy to launch him across the plaza. He crashes through the glass in the front of Billl's Surf Shop. I after crashing through the glass, he continues into the racks of surf equipment. When he hits the wall, he slumps down onto the floor. I start to cautiously walk over, my hands in position to deflect any fireballs he may send. As I reach the front of the store, he gets up and launches several fireballs at me. I deflect all but one, which completely misses me. Instead, it hits and destroys part of the plaza's fountain.
That's it. The fountain. I run over and use my power to manipulate the water into a snakelike form. I hit Sun with it like a fire hose. He gets knocked back several feet, but gets right back up. He tries to light his arms up, but they're too wet. He panics and tries again multiple times without success before i lift him and pin him against a wall.
"Why would you side with the oysters?" he asks furiously.
"Because, we created to fight them, and I don't think it's fair that we have these powers and they don't. If the rest of us are actually put into battle against them, they won't have a chance and will get massacred." I explain.
"So what? We're the superior beings. We should be ruling them!"
"I don't believe you think that's true. You know in your heart that we don't have any right to be ruling anyone. Please, Sun, help me take Carroll Corp. down before it's too late. We can't let the rest of them get out into the world."
He pauses and thinks about this. Finally, he sighs and reaches for his dog tag.
"If you want to take them down, you'll have to do it without me. They put microchips inside the rest of us so that if we decide to rise against them, they can kill us instantly by having the chip release a lethal electrical shock. However, the dog tags we all wear each contain a small part of the Carroll Corp. master plan on a microchip inside of it. Don't ask why. It's a totally stupid idea, but they did it anyway." As he says this, he takes off his dog tag and tossing it to me. He then pushes a button on the small bracelet he's wearing. It's obviously a manual control to the microchip, because he starts twitching, then stops moving all together. Just then, the police show up.
"Uh. I can explain." I say, putting my hands on my head. This causes me to lose focus on Sun's body and it falls to the ground.
"It's okay, kid." an officer says as he walks over. "We saw him kill himself, but you can explain why he was floating against the wall." I nod. Meanwhile, the fire department shows up to put out Sun's fires.
After picking up Sun's tag and getting out of the firefighters' way, I explain everything to the police, starting with my waking up, and ending with the battle that just happened. I also explain that they'll be sending the rest of the "family" after me as well.
"-and if you guys don't mind, I'd like you to leave them all to me. This is my battle, and I need to fight it alone. I don't want anyone else getting hurt because of me. Also, please don't try storming Carroll Corp. or the Rabbit Hole. That will just end even worse." I finish.
"Okay, kid." says the officer, who turned out to be the chief of police. "While we can't just ignore the calls, we'll have to do our best to keep the civilians safe. Now, come with me. We need to take you to the hospital to get that burn treated." I nod and start walking with him to the ambulance. As I'm stepping into the ambulance, I hear Dallas shout from behind me.
"Austin!" he says. I turn to see him running towards the ambulance. He runs up and hugs me. I hug him back.
"I'm so glad you're safe." he says into my ear. He pulls back to look into my eyes. After a second, he notices the large burn on my arm.
"Oh my God! C'mon!" he says, pushing me towards the ambulance. However, when he tries to get in with me, the medic stops him.
"Sorry, son. I can't let you back here." she says. I look at her.
"That is my boyfriend. If you want me to go to the hospital, he's coming too." I say, giving her a death glare.
"I'm sorry, sir. I didn't know." She motions for Dallas to get in. He takes a seat on my right and takes my hand, smiling at me. i smile back.
"You two are so cute together." she says as she sits on my left and starts working on my arm. Dallas and I smile at each other as the driver closes ambulance doors and drives us off to the hospital.
Dallas's P.O.V.
The ride to the hospital was tough. Austin wasn't used to pain at all, so when the medic started putting cold water on the burn, I thought I was going to need medical attention because Austin squeezed my hand so tight.
"You're really lucky, Mr. Moon." the medic said. "To have only sustained a small second-degree burn is really a miracle." I look at her.
"So Austin's going to be alright?" I ask.
"He'll be just fine. Luckily, the burn is small enough that it'll heal up completely in a week or so, but we'll have to keep him in the hospital until then." she says.
I smile at Austin and stroke his hair. He smiles back at me.
