Chapter Five: Truth be told
Pyra stood quickly, the door to the computer lab opening suddenly and a body falling in. She runs to Vinces side, hauling him into the room and onto her lap, Chimmy closing the door and darting back to hug the wounded Gemini.
"What happened to Zane?"
Pyra asks while Chimmy unzips Vinces shirt and searches for the cuts. The small group of trolls jump suddenly at the abrubt banging outside. Pyra motions for Chimmy to watch over Vince and for Dextri to come with her as she stands and moves towards the door. Dextri jumps to her feet quickly and follows her every step.
"What are we supposed to do if it's a troll? Vince is the only one who really knows how to fight properly."
Pyra shrugs.
"We'll wing it."
Dextris face goes pale but she nods and follows. Suddenly the door slams open and not a second after a blur of pink and yellow rolls in quickly. Pyra and Dextri jump, slam the door shut and rush over to the thing on the ground and begin to kick frantically.
"STOP YOU IDIOTS!"
Pyra stops suddenly and begins to laugh, Dextri looks at the human than at Pyra.
"Crystal? Hey sis! You're okay!"
Pyra cheers happily plopping down beside Crystal. Crystal unzips her yellow short sleeved jacket then ties her pitch black hair into a ponytail.
"Jackie, you look like a freak."
Pyra stares.
"Oh! Yeah! Jackie, I got this map for the factory, now all of us can storm it and-"
"No, they have Luna...and Lexi and everybody else. We can't just storm it, they might kill them."
Crystal grabs Pyra by the colar of the white chinese dress she was wearing and pulls her closer to where they were only inches away.
"Listen here you snotty smart ass, a couple of your friends dieing shouldn't be a big price to pay for the world surviving."
Pyras eyes widen and Crystal suddenly looks down at the dress she was wearing.
"Isn't this the dress I bought you so you could hang up on your wall with the rest of your decoration?"
"Hyeah...Uhm...I kinda got captured in it...so yeah..."
"But you were at school right?"
Crystal asks with a growl, looking back at Dextri, Chimmy and Vince for confirmation.
"Yeah...I kinda liked it so much I wanted to wear it."
Vince coughs loudly and Chimmy begins to panic.
"He's dieing! He's dieeeeeiiiing!"
Chimmy whines, Dextri slaps him over the head and sits Vince up.
"You were letting him drown on his own blood, moron."
Chimmy smiles and hugs Vince, who reluctantly pushes him off with a loud groan. Pyra nods turning to Dextri and motioning her to come over with Crystal.
"Hold him against your chest like this."
Dextri says laying Vince down on Chimmys chest while Vince glares at her with daggers in his eyes.
"Okay, so I had this whole group of people who wanted to storm the factory, but I told them we'd have to wait for the two aliens I'd sent in to map the place to come back! But they were impatient so they did it anyways and died. Only one of the aliens returned though, she said the other chick Lunari was enslaved by the soon to be ruler. She also begged me to save her, so I gotta do that now okay?"
Pyra nods quickly and points at Dextri and herself.
"While you save Lunari, we'll save Luna and the others, and kill this soon to be ruler that you mentioned."
Crystal nods quickly and jumps onto her feet.
"We gotta leave this place now though, I was being chased by some aliens and I doubt that they'd throw themselves down just to be kicked by you retards. Let's go."
Crystal orders moving to the door. Chimmy and Pyra lift Vince onto his feet and help him out the door. They sneak through the hallways silently, the only sounds were the deep groaning and wheezing that came from Vince and the whinning that came Chimmy. Finally they found a back door exit into a large parking lot surrounded by a huge amount of trees. Just off in the distance they could see the tiny cross of a church. Pyra and Chimmy look at eachother for a moment then Pyra calls out to Crystal.
"There's a church, maybe we can find some refugees there and they can help-"
"Nope, we can't waist time Jackie, we gotta get to the factory as-"
"I'm not gonna let my friend die just becuase you wanna save the friggin world."
Pyra growls.
"You can go ahead Crystal, Dextri, Chimmy and I are taking Vince to the church."
Crystal turns around hurriedly, a sharp glare peircing her younger sister.
"Who's older?"
Pyra glares at her then looks past with a worried expression.
"Uhm, nevermind...we might wanna hide."
Pyra says motioning the others to follow her and Chimmy behind some bushes. They all lay behind the bushes and watch as a tall troll with the Libra insignia made from her red and blue outfit comes into sight. At her side was some one Pyra found to be extremely familiar, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
"That's her, she's the soon to be ruler."
At that moment the shorter troll turned her face slightly and it suddenly struck Pyra. She shakes her head with a grin and turns to Crystal.
"That troll beside Lexi right?"
Pyra asks, Crystal shakes her head while the others look from Pyra to Lexi finally recognising her.
"No. Lexi is the heiress."
Pyras jaw drops.
"You know she's being forced."
Crystal slaps her hand to her forehead and points at the two trolls.
"Does it look like she's screaming for help or trying to run away. We should eaves drop and find out what they're talking about!"
Crystal suggests turning back to the scene before them. Pyra stares at Crystal in shock then turns back to Lexi.
"I'm sure Condence is up to no good, why would she give her throne away so easily?"
"Who knows, but the point is, when I have the throne, this area here will be your hunting ground."
"Heeeeheheeeheee...I like the sound of that. I'd love to hang some lowbloods here."
"Especially why I'll be handing over Pyra and the others to you when we capture them."
"Heeeeheheeeheee."
