Well, here's another chapter. My sister really liked it and begged for another one. The beginning is very sad, just so you know. Anyway, enjoy.
Nafalis sat in the pelican between Wash and Maine. Tex and South sat across from her, Carolina and 479er were up in the cockpit driving them to their destination. Not that long ago she had been caught by two guards out in the hall and taken to see the Director. South and Tex tried to explain but he wouldn't listen. He called in Wash, Carolina, 479er, and Maine, and it was clear he was not happy with them. He told them about certain rules and how this was not only against protocol but extremely dangerous. He ordered them to take her away to some planet or other, and they had taken off as soon as they were able. Nafalis kicked her legs back and forth slowly, a sad look covering her features. She jerked in surprise as the pelican shook. The freelancers got to their feet and Nafalis did the same. The back of the pelican opened and they all walked out as they were joined by Carolina and 479er. Nafalis grabbed Maine's hand as they walked out of the pelican and onto the planet they had landed on. She looked up at Wash as he knelt down next to her.
"Take care of yourself, you hear?" he told her. Nafalis nodded, clutching a bit tighter to Maine's hand as she stood there. Wash ruffled her hair a bit before standing up. Nafalis looked as Tex walked over and crossed her arms, without a doubt giving her a very serious look.
"Don't forget what me and the girls taught you, got it?" she ordered. Nafalis gave a sharp nod in response and got one in return. All the others simply looked at one another, undoubtedly using their COMs to talk to each other without her hearing. Maine let go of her hand and she looked over, a little bit in panic, and watched as he knelt down next to her. As he did so all the others looked over in silence. Tears welled up in Nafalis's eyes and she hugged him tightly. Maine wrapped his arms around her small frame firmly. Wash's shoulders slumped down a little bit at the sight and he looked over as a woman headed towards them, obviously there for Nafalis. Nafalis saw her and walked over, holding the woman's hand. Maine stood and looked down at her.
"I'll see you again, won't I?" she asked quietly. Maine gave the tiniest of nods and walked back inside the pelican, followed by the others. Before he entered Wash took a moment to ruffle her hair once more, he then walked back inside and turned around to watch the the pelican door shut, hiding her from his sight. Nafalis as the lady stepped back away from the pelican as it started to take off and the winds picked up around them. The pelican rose high off the ground and Nafalis watched sadly as it took off, never to be seen by her eyes again. The lady said something gently to her and led her down the walkway, she told her about the place and other things, but Nafalis didn't listen. She looked up at where the pelican had gone. "I'll find you," she whispered. "I promise..."
FIVE YEARS LATER
Church ran down the hallway as fast as he could, his human lungs straining to keep moving air in and out and his legs feeling like they might fall off at any moment. Caboose was right beside him, panting heavily and struggling even more than Church was. Church glanced back at Caboose and saw the men chasing them, there were four of them and they were catching up quickly. Church looked forward again and let out a funny noise as he strained his legs faster, yelling at Caboose to keep up. Caboose responded by whining that he couldn't feel his legs. Church rolled his eyes and sped up ever so slightly, his human legs screaming out in pain.
As they ran down the hallway someone sitting in the rafters above them watched as they ran below. The four men were catching up and fast, and she wasn't sure if she wanted them to. She sped off along the ceiling at top speed after them, planning on stopping those men. She rounded the corner and froze as she found the two blue soldiers backed up against a closed door, a dead end. She leaped across the rafters and landed in-between the two sets of soldiers One of the two behind her gasped in surprise and she stood up straight, twirling a long, iron stick she had picked up and glaring at the soldiers before her, armed with shotguns and pistols.
"Hello, chaps," she said, charging at them. The soldiers behind her watched in awe as she took out three of them in under thirty seconds. The last one refused to go though, but it ended with one strong blow. She leaped into the air, dropping her stick and placing her hand on the man's right shoulder and her left foot on his other shoulder. She used her right leg to knee the man in the face, then she twisted and brought her right hand back up into the air, crashing her right foot on his chest and shoving him to the ground. Her right hand enclosed over his throat and her left had clenched into a fist and knocked him in the head, leaving him unconscious.
"Whoa," one of them murmured. She turned around and gave a tiny smile. One of them stepped out and gave a respectful nod. "My name is Leonerd Church, or sometimes called Epsilon. You're good, for a thirteen-year-old girl." She gave the man a slight glare and stood up fully, walking over to him. She crossed her arms and gave him a very stern look.
"First off, I'm fifteen. And Second, I'm Nafalis, pleasure to meet you," she said reaching out her hand. Church reached his hand and they shook. She gave a tiny smirk. "You have a very firm shake. Says a lot about you." She turned to the other soldier, who was a much darker color. "What's your name?"
"My name's Caboose! It's nice to meet you," the man said. Church groaned and shook his head, undoubtedly rolling his eyes. Nafalis smiled and shook the other soldier's hand. Caboose looked over at Church. "See, I told you another crazy, fighting lady would come save us." Nafalis raised an eyebrow curiously at him. "Just like Tex, and Carolina!" Both her eyebrows shot up.
"Carolina, eh? As in, agent Carolina? From the Freelancer program?" Church slowly looked over at Nafalis and nodded, unsure of what to think about this. Why did she know that? Nafalis got a huge smile. "Tell you what, I'll get you out of here, and I get to see her. Deal?" The two looked at each other, even Caboose seemed a bit worried about this. They turned back and Church nodded. "Great! Come on." Nafalis turned around on her heels and walked away, every excited.
...
Nafalis followed Church and Caboose as they walked out into a small circle where there was no trees, but they were still covered so that unless you walked into them you wouldn't be able to tell they were there. She got a smile as Carolina kicked an orange armored soldier into a tree, she groaned and started to walk away. Nafalis charged at her, hearing Church and Caboose gasp behind her in surprise. Carolina whirled around to face her and took a defensive stance, but was caught by surprise as Nafalis preformed the move she did to take down the guard before, but didn't hit her. Carolina stared at her.
"Better?" she asked helping her up. Carolina kept staring at the girl, her jaw hanging open a bit. Suddenly she cried out her name and hugged Nafalis tightly. Nafalis laughed and hugged back. Church and Caboose looked at each other, extremely confused at what was going on her. Carolina chuckled and said that she was doing that move much better than before. Nafalis backed up and smiled at Carolina happily.
"What's going on here?" Wash asked walking over towards them. Nafalis's smile grew greatly.
"WASH!" she screamed loudly and hugged him. Wash grunted in surprise and looked down at her, more confused than Church and Caboose. Carolina repeated her name again and Washington laughed a bit, he ruffled her hair. "Hey!" She replaced her hair and glared at him. Wash laughed a bit more. She looked around. "Where's Maine?" Wash stopped laughing and looked at her. Carolina sighed and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry, Nafalis. But he's on the wrong side I'm afraid," Carolina told her. Nafalis sighed and looked down sadly. "But you're welcome to join us. We're heading off to kill the Director." Nafalis got a tiny smile and nodded.
"I'd like that," she said quietly. Church and Caboose both shrugged a bit and walked over to help the orange guy from being stuck in the tree. Nafalis looked over. "You're not pulling from the center of gravity!" Church glared at her. He yelled for her to try it, so she did. She grabbed his torso, braced up against the tree with both feet, and yanked, sending them both flying onto the ground. Everyone burst out laughing at the sight. Nafalis growled and shoved the orange guy off of her. "Oh, hush..."
Well, there's that. I might add another chapter, but I donno.
Thanks for reading and please review!
