Me: TODAY IS THE DAY YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!
Finn: Why are you talking normally, but typing in caps?
Me: BECAUSE I can.
Finn: -rolls eyes-
Me: Don't roll your eyes at me!
Finn: Yeah. Sorry. –rolls eyes-
Me: Your eyes are going to fall out of your skull if you do that. Scientific Fact.
Finn: Yeah, right.
Me: I'm serious.
Finn: You're… serious?
Me: As a heart attack.
Finn: -stares-
Chapter 20
Kat POV
Despite common belief, Finn was screaming like a little girl as he fell off of Kampê. I caught him with Carpet, whom I had borrowed from Aladdin for a short time, and flew off to go capture some more, with the Bracelet.
"There!" Finn exclaimed, pointing to Ursula trying to swim across the grass. I captured her easily.
"Anyone else?"
"Go to the front, everyone will be trying to leave now," Finn suggested. I steered Carpet towards the entrance of the school and found the Wicked Witch of the West, the Red Queen from Alice of Wonderland, and the Ice- Queen-person from Narnia. I captured them all as Finn randomly would shout, "THERE!" and I'd shoot them with my power. Of course, I found out the hard way that the Bracelet had a carrying capacity. It started flashing red and informing me that I couldn't put anything else in there.
"I have to go empty it out," I told Finn.
"What am I supposed to do?" he exclaimed.
"Fly the carpet around. Help those who need to be helped."
"But I don't have a weapon! I couldn't…"
"Listen, nimrod," I snapped at him. "Enough with oh, I'm too weak or oh, I can't! I'll break a nail garbage. You find something. A weapon of any sort to get rid of them. We can't have them going to Candice's side, because that means war. Get a stapler or something!" I jumped off Carpet and landed on the roof. I skidded down the sloping tile and leaped to the next roof. I continued hopping my way through the school until Megatron found me. I saw him, but didn't think he would be a threat. He picked me up with his claw-like fingers.
"Okay Megatron. Put me down," I growled at him.
"I have a proposition for you."
"Can this wait? I'm busy," I said.
"DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE TOO BUSY!" he roared at me. I didn't blink.
"Look Negatron…"
"Megatron."
"Whatever," I said dismissively. "You are going to put me down, right now, before I make you." He laughed.
"You are going to defeat me? I would like to see that," he snorted.
"The pleasure is mine," I said. I twisted my body around in his spindly grasp and pulled out one of his wires attaching his finger to the rest of his arm.
"What are you doing, girl?" he asked. I ignored him, concentrating on pulling out all the wires I could before he realized I had just ridden him of fingers.
"AH!" he exclaimed, stumbling backwards, creating an earthquake, as he let me go. I plummeted to the grass below, and before I landed, a creature leaped underneath me, catching me with its back.
"OOF!" I grunted as I slammed into its spine.
"Ya!" the rider said.
"Legolas?"
"I'm a natural leader, Master Kat," he called to me as he rode the creature back to Megatron's fumbling form. "I would never sit out a battle."
"We have to empty out the Bracelet!" I told him, crawling up behind him.
"To the prisons?"
"Prisons," I nodded.
"Ya!" he exclaimed, whipping the reins on the horse I was riding as it zoomed past all the classrooms so we reached the prison in no time. I ran inside, releasing all of the captured evils into prison cells that George the Redcoat was now guarding.
"Thanks!" I called over my shoulder, setting all captured evils from the Bracelet to be put into a cell. I ran out and hopped on Legolas' horse. We galloped through the halls.
"Floor it!" I said.
"On it," Legolas replied, whispering something into the horse's ear. It spread magnificent, feathered wings and took off, dodging around a garbage can before reaching an opening to the sky.
"Take the reins!" Legolas commanded. I did so as he took 'shotgun' and aimed his bow and arrow at Megatron.
"Shoot for the eyes!" I called. He nodded and released the arrow. It pierced Megatron's left eye.
"ROOOOOAARR!" Megatron said in response. I soared closer, but lingering out of Megatron's reach. He swiped around blindly, testing my Pegasus-control abilities. I swerved just in time to avoid being hit by his right arm.
"Whoa!" Legolas exclaimed, almost being thrown off the Pegasus.
"Sorry!" I replied, regaining control.
"Get me close to his other eye!"
"Trying!" I yelled over the sudden crack of thunder and rain poured.
"My hair…" I mumbled.
"The eye!"
"I'm going!"
"The OTHER eye!"
"Working on it!" I shot back.
"HIS ARM!" Legolas shouted as Megatron's arm swiped down, hitting a particular rider in the head, and sending them tumbling towards the now sodden earth and knocking her out.
Finn POV
Here you go: magic carpet and you can go get a stapler to fight these monsters with guns and swords and such. Now go fight a legion of monsters. I'll be back. That was kind of what Kat told me before leaping over the roof. I growled to myself and floated closer to the ground.
"Okay, where do you find a good weapon?" I asked Carpet. He shrugged and I scowled. I saw the pine tree planted in between buildings and went towards it, ripping off a solid branch to stab.
"Good enough," I said to myself, since Carpet couldn't exactly talk back. I shot towards a couple of monsters trying to eat a picnic table.
"DIE!" I shouted as I stabbed them all while flying past. I heard robotic noises, turned and saw Megatron swiping around blindly and a Pegasus swarming around it.
"Die boy!" I turned back around just in time to get clothes-lined by Phobos and Deimos on flying war chariots. How was I going to fight gods when all I had was a tree branch. They swerved around to face me before charging again.
"I know what you fear!" Phobos laughed maniacally, throwing sharp stones that cut through me. Then, he showed me the vision.
I was staring off into space. It was a hospital, by the smells and looks of the people waiting around me. Someone stepped out of the door and said,
"Whitman?" Without thinking, I stood up and followed him. Instead of there being a regular hospital room, there were coffins lined up on the floor. They all contained my friends: Maybeck, Charlene, Amanda, Jez, Philby, Willa, and Kat was in the final one. I stared in horror at what I was seeing. Kat's eyes opened and looked at me. She was dead, and I was imagining that, but it was creepy all the same.
"Why didn't you save me?" she asked sadly. "Why didn't you save us?"
"I…" I stammered.
"That's what I thought," she muttered, closing her eyes and dying again.
When I woke myself up, out of the vision, Deimos knocked me over and I fell off Carpet and landed on the ground a few feet below. They both raised their spears and charged at me. Inches away from my throat, a conch horn sounded. Phobos and Deimos stopped, sneered at me, then flew away. I laid on the ground, gasping for breath as rain, that I just noticed, pricked at my skin. Carpet hovered, making sure I was okay. I had a bunch of scratches, but nothing serious. I stood up and got on Carpet again. As I did so, I saw Legolas flying towards me.
"Hi Legolas," I said.
"It's Kat!" he exclaimed. Was she dead? Like in my vision? Oh no… "Follow me!" He turned his Pegasus around and flew towards the area where Megatron once stood. She was lying on the grass as rain fell around us. A few Apollo medics and even Apollo himself kneeled around her. As I approached, I saw her breathing.
"What happened?"
"She's unconscious," Apollo said.
"Megatron hit her," Legolas said bitterly. I jumped off of Carpet and went to get a closer look. Her eyes fluttered as she woke up. Apollo smiled.
"She's up," he said cheerfully. She gave him a look.
"Who are you?" she asked.
Me: DUN DUN DUNNNNNN….
Finn: A cliffhanger? Really?
Me: And you'd care if I died!
Finn: I'd care if anyone died.
Me: Even my phone.
Finn: No, because it can be resurrected.
Me: Hmm…. Point taken.
Read and Review? I'm a hero! Who has Orlando Bloom on her side. MUHAHA? Jealous? I think so!
