AN; ok, please review! The more you guys show that you're reading, the more I update!
Butler stroked his gun, wondering if suicide was an option.
This, of course, was a perfectly acceptable thing to think if you were in Butler's position.
He had been in difficult positions before-going to the academy, facing Mulch's wind, fighting a troll ect.- but never, ever did he have to work with a team like this.
Mulch, Doodah, Minerva and Qwan.
"So, Dommie-poos," said Mulch, using Butler's(apparent) new nickname.
Butler stroked his gun again.
"What have we to do?"
"We've to make sure that none of the People make contact with humans," Butler replied, trying to swallow the nickname.
"So that means we need to take the shuttle?" Doodah said quickly.
Butler sighed. He knew what was coming next.
"Yes."
"Can I drive?"
Butler gave up there and then, saving his breath.
"Sure."
Doodah, of course, was the first one to the shuttle.
Ops booth,
Police Plaza,
Haven City,
The Lower Elements.
"Dommie-poos?" smirked Foaly.
Koboi labs.
Holly crouched beside the door. If Opal was in there, Holly would rip her to shreds.
Holly stood up and kicked the door down, entering, guns blazing.
Trouble followed.
The room was empty.
The elves growled.
"Did you get them?" Artemis asked through the earpiece.
Artemis and No1 had been told to stay somewhere safe)or somewhere where the wouldn't get in the way). This was because they were next to useless.
"NO!" Holly snapped.
Artemis desided to go off line there and then.
Holly turned to Trouble.
"We're never going to find them."
"I wouldn't be so sure, Miss Short," came a voice from the doorway.
"Sool," growled Trouble.
"Opal," spat Holly.
The two elves turned to face them.
Opla Koboi and Ark Sool entered the room, a few goblins following.
"Get them," Sool said simply.
The goblins grabbed the elves, not giving them a chance to react.
Opal walked over to Holly, grabbing her face with her hands.
"You're a pretty one," Opal commented.
Holly could see the madness in her eyes.
"It's just a shame," she continued. "You could have achieved so much. Made it so far. But you wasted your life, Holly. You tried to be someone. You tired to be a hero. But do you know what heroes are, Short? Heroes are lost. Heroes are heartbroken. Heroes are people who cry themselves to sleep at night. If you're a hero, you've lost something. Someone. Heroes are people who try to save others from what you've been through."
She let go off Holly's face.
"And do you know where being a hero will get you? It will get you killed. But we won't kill you. Oh no! You're not dying that easily. We'll let the humans kill you. Isn't that ironic? The race you start to trust is the very race that will kill you!"
Opal clicked her fingers and the goblins dropped them.
The group left the room.
Opal stopped in the doorway.
"And do you know the real reason why I killed Julies?" There was a twisted smile on her face. "Because I knew it would get to you."
Opal left the room just as Holly started cry.
AN; there's actually only 22 chapters in this!
