Hey everyone! I finally got around to updating again! I've been busy with school, had to come up with new ideas, and needed a break from trying to keep 5 different stories going at once. Sorry for the wait. Anyways, this is chapter 3 of "Adventures with the Vivoteens." Last chapter, Dina got in a fossil battle with a mysterious man who, after losing, tried to stab Dina. Dina stopped him but was ambushed by soldiers from Saige's army. She got away, but she knew she couldn't hide for long. This chapter features a new OC! (Thanks for the idea, wintergirl!)
On with the chapter!
Chapter 3: A Magical Friend
*Dina's POV*
I made it to my destination: Joe's suite. I had to let him know what was going on.
"Howdy, Dina!" he said when he saw me. "Is something wrong?"
"Yeah, I just got attacked by Saige's soldiers at Mt. Krakanak!" I shouted. Joe looked shocked.
"Saige's soldiers?!" he asked. "But didn't ya' kill Saige?"
"Yeah, which means that someone else is leading them. I don't know who, but I need to find out." I said.
"Well it's only a matter of time before they find you." Joe said. "They knew you were at Mt. Krakanak, so they might know yer here."
Suddenly, there was an explosion outside that shook the whole tower.
"We need to get out of here!" I shouted.
"Yeah, I'm with ya' on that one!" Joe replied.
The two of us ran to the elevator. We managed to get out of the fighter's station, only to be stopped by soldiers. I sent out all five of the vivoteens, and the six of us took out the soldiers easily. Joe was surprised. He followed me to the helicopter. We took off, hoping to catch a break for a while.
Of course, that was impossible.
A bullet shot right past us while we were in the helicopter. It hit the control panel and shut the helicopter's engine down. We started to fall out of the sky. Luckily, I was able to teleport me and Joe to safety. The pilot wasn't so lucky, though. The helicopter crashed to the ground. I had no idea if the pilot survived or not, but I still felt bad for not helping him. Joe and I ran to my house. We ran inside and I slammed the door behind us. I knew we would not be safe here for long, but I couldn't change that.
"We can't run forever." I said. "And leaving the island is not an option. What are we going to do?!"
Calm down, Dina! all of my friends said at once. Panicking won't help!
Right, thanks. I replied.
"Is there anywhere safe for us?" I said.
Selena appeared in front of me. "We could try my house!" she suggested. "While Saige was around before, the soldiers didn't attack us for the few weeks that we were there!"
"That just might work!" I said. "But I don't remember where that is."
"I'll give you directions telepathically." she replied.
"Sounds good!" I said. "Let's go!"
We got on Joe's Ptera and headed to Selena's house. We managed to get to the gate, but as Selena opened the gate, three soldiers appeared behind us.
"Go inside!" I shouted to Joe. "I'll take care of these guys!"
I shocked them, but it didn't seem to hurt them. All of the attacks that me and my friends used were useless. We started to run, but they caught up and somehow blocked our path with some sort of invisible wall.
"Fools!" one of them shouted. "Did you really think you could defeat us so easily?" the soldier said, pulling out a knife.
"That voice…" I said. "It can't be!"
But before any of us could say anything more, I heard someone shout something that I didn't understand. A blue and black blur came right through the shield and slammed into one of the soldiers, knocking him down. The blur stopped and revealed a young girl. She looked like she was probably around 11 years old.
"Let's go!" she shouted. She started to run and quickly became a blur again. She kicked the other soldier. All that was left was the leader. Suddenly, the girl appeared and kicked the leader in the face, knocking her out.
I was in total shock at what just happened. An 11-year-old girl, who had dark brown hair and wore a blue and black outfit with a moon in the center of her shirt, a collar with a stone shaped like a moon, and gold earrings, had just taken out 3 soldiers that me and my friends couldn't even hurt.
She turned to face me. When she saw my face, she spoke up.
"What's wrong?" she asked. "Never been rescued by an 11-year-old?" she said jokingly.
"Nope." I said. "Who are you, anyways?" I asked.
"My name is Lacunae." She replied. "You probably won't believe me, but I am a powerful magical girl and the Summoner of the Moon!"
"Summoner of the Moon?" I asked.
"It's one of my magic abilities." She replied.
I just stared at her in shock.
"Hello? Earth to Dina!" she said, waving her hand in my face.
The sound of my name brought me back to reality.
"How do you know my name?" I asked.
"I know a lot of people around here." she said.
"Wow." I said.
"We need to get out of here before more of them show up." said Lacunae.
"I agree." I said. "Let's go!"
We ran into Selena's house.
Well that's chapter 3! What do you think? Leave a review!
Wintergirl: Thanks again for the ideas. I changed a lot of the details in your intro (sorry about that), but let me know what you think.
Anyone reading this: I'm trying to find time to update the others, but it may take some time.
