(A/N): Now the shocking conclusion.
"They're waking up!" Nicole exclaimed as the group looked over at them. Brice rubbed his head as Nicole sighed with relief. She slapped him as he held his arm. "Don't scare me like that!" Nicole yelled as Brice sniffled and wiped a tear from his eye.
"That hurt." He sobbed as he rubbed his arm. Nicole looked at him confused along with Liecy and Julian.
"Oh my God! I'm alive! Quick hide me! The person might come after me! Why are you all standing there! We have to protect ourselves!" Onyx yelled as he ran around the room with Ruby and Topaz chasing after him.
"Get this offensive color off me!" Amber exclaimed throwing a yellow blanket off her. "Why man made such a bright color when we have nothing, but darkness in our lives." She sneered as Conner and Tsunami looked at her confused.
"What's this?" Chrissy asked as she looked at Stephan's watch.
"It's a watch?" Stephan said confused as Lauren looked at her confused.
"Oo…what's a watch?" Chrissy asked dumbly as Lauren and Stephan looked at each other confused.
"Flash are you alright?!" Ivy asked as Shawn stood by her.
"Yes, yes I'm fine." Flash said as he sat up in his bed.
"Phew! I thought you were going to be dead or something. I would have been a total loner." Shawn said as Shade cleared his throat. "Like I said total loner." Shawn said as he and Ivy laughed. Flash just stared at them as they slowly stopped laughing.
"Flash?" Ivy asked confused. "Why aren't you laughing?" She asked him.
"If you are referring to as why I did not laugh at that rather immature and rude attempt at a joke is because it was exactly what I just said. Now if you excuse I have some work to do. First is to change my major to something more realistic and profiting." Flash said getting off the bed.
"What is wrong with everybody?!" Serenity yelled as AJ hid under his blanket shaking in fear. Amber rolled her eyes as she looked at her boyfriend in disgust.
"It's pretty obvious." Cat said as everybody looked at her. "Whoever ambushed them stole their most prominent feature of their personality. Onyx for example, he is usually calm and collected, but now he's paranoid and everywhere. Amber is moody and mean when she's supposed to be bubbly and happy. AJ is frightened when he's usually brave." Cat explained.
"Brice is wimpy when he's usually strong." Nicole said as Ivy looked at Flash.
"Flash is serious and boring when he's supposed to be funny and a kid." Ivy said as Shade and Shawn kept him on his bed and away from the computer to change his major.
"And Chrissy is stupid!" Lauren said as Chrissy played with Stephan's watch. "You know, when she's supposed to be smart." Lauren said shrugging her shoulders.
"Well…how do we get their personality back?" Topaz asked as Onyx looked around everywhere and fidgeted.
"We have to figure it who did it first." Jeff said as Julian rolled his eyes.
"Isn't obvious?" Julian said as Izzy nodded.
"Mason." Izzy said as Serenity slapped her forehead.
"Great…I'm so not in the mood to go all the way over there." Serenity said as Cat agreed with her sister.
"Do you really want them to stay like this?" Izzy questioned as she motioned to the weird group. Serenity sighed as she shook her head.
"Some of you have to stay here and watch after them." Serenity said as Ivy nodded. "Rest of us. Let's go. Where are Renegade and Donovan?" Serenity asked as they all ran up to the roof.
"Uh…Renegade is having some problems." Conner said as Julian sighed.
"She grabbed his hand!" Renegade exclaimed as Donovan sat on his couch and watched him.
"Maybe you saw it wrong. Maybe he grabbed her hand." Donovan said as Renegade shook his head.
"No. I know what I saw! She put her hand in his and they both just fazed away." Renegade said pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Dude…you need to relax. Maybe he threatened her or something. You can't jump to conclusions. Alana loves you." Donovan said putting a hand on Renegade's shoulder.
"I…I just don't know." Renegade said shaking his head.
"Listen to me. Alana. Loves. You. She wouldn't do something like that." Donovan said as Renegade sighed.
"Yeah, you're right." Renegade said as Donovan patted his shoulder and smiled.
"C'mon. I hear Mason did some shit to some of the group. We have to help him kick his ass." Donovan said as Renegade shook his head.
"Nah, you go without me. I'm going to stay here for a bit." Renegade said as Donovan looked at him worriedly. "I'm fine. Just go." Renegade said as Donovan walked out of his apartment. Renegade laid down on his couch as he sighed and thought about Alana. The group quickly busted through the Avengers security system and quickly ran into the main room.
"Ah, what a lovely surprise." Mason said as they heard Nicky's annoying laughter.
"Fucker, you knew we were going to be here." Julian said as Mason shrugged his shoulders.
"Well I would be lying if I said I was shocked." Mason said as he jumped down at their level. Ethan and Zeke jumped down next to him as he motioned Nicky to stay.
"Like a little puppy." Lorgo said as Nicky growled at him.
"We want our friends back." Serenity said as Ethan rolled his eyes.
"No really? We thought you came by to have some dinner." He replied sarcastically as Lazarus glared at him.
"Just hand it over Churchill." Donovan growled as he entered the room. Everybody looked at him confused, but he motioned that he'll explain later.
"Well Johnson, come and get it." He said holding up his stone. Donovan and Julian growled as they charged Mason. Zeke and Ethan ran towards them, but Lazarus and Garrett quickly stopped them.
"Zekey! How's it going?" Garrett asked as Zeke glared at him. "Oh don't be bitter." Garrett said as Zeke growled and charged him. Garrett stepped to his side and let Zeke run past him. "Temper. Temper." Garrett taunted waving his finger. Cat laughed a bit at his technique only making Zeke madder. Zeke started to run towards him, but Garrett's eyes glowed green as he made the ground under Zeke cave in. Zeke coughed through all the rubble as Garrett looked down at him. "Are you going to try anytime soon?" Garrett asked before being blew down by one of Zeke's gust. Zeke floated out of the hole and landed on his feet.
"Oh, I'm just getting started." Zeke said as Garrett got back on his feet.
"What a cliché line." Garrett said as Zeke rolled his eyes. Zeke charged towards him, but Garrett quickly wrapped vines around his ankles making fall flat on his face. Zeke raised his hand up and sent a gust of wind towards him, but Garrett quickly negated it by using his own wind powers. He blasted fire towards him, but Zeke used his wind and made the fire go around him.
"Hey watch it!" Ethan yelled as he dodged the fire that was headed it towards him. Lazarus quickly tackled him to the ground, but Ethan flipped them over so Lazarus was the one on the ground. Lazarus kicked him off and when Ethan landed he whipped out his katana.
"You're not a ninja!" Lazarus yelled as Ethan quickly started jabbing at him. Lazarus dodged all his blows quickly and tripped Ethan making him fall on the ground. Ethan growled as he quickly bounced back up and started attacking Lazarus. He managed to slash Lazarus's thigh making Lazarus hiss in pain. Lazarus swiped his claws at Ethan scratching him across the face.
"You're going to pay for that Panther." Ethan said before charging Lazarus. Mason bent backwards letting Donovan and Julian jump over him. They both landed on their feet as Mason smirked. He threw a small silver sphere at them as they looked down at it confused. It started to glow as Julian's eyes widened. It exploded as Mason chuckled. Donovan lunged towards him out of the smoke tackling him to the ground. Julian put his shield down and ran towards the two. Donovan pinned Mason to the ground as the stone got knocked out of his hand.
"Julian!" Donovan exclaimed as Mason quickly kicked him off. Mason grabbed another silver ball out of his pocket and used his power to make it glow. He threw it at Julian right before it exploded. Julian flew against the wall as Izzy gasped. Donovan charged Mason quickly smashing him into the wall. Cat spotted the stone on the ground and took off to make a grab for it. She was kicked down to the ground by her ex-boyfriend.
"What's up Cat?" Zeke sneered as Cat glared at him.
"Get off of her!" Garrett yelled in rage as he tackled Zeke to the ground. Cat's eyes widened at the rage that filled Garrett's eyes. Garrett started to punch Zeke blew him off sending him to the wall, but Garrett flipped backwards and blew wind under him to make him land softly. Garrett blasted him with fire, but Zeke blew wind to make the fire go around him. When he cleared the fire his eyes widened when he saw a boulder headed towards him. Zeke got smashed into the wall as Garrett charged the boulder. He smashed through it and grabbed Zeke and punched him across the face with an ice glove knocking him out.
"Ok, I think that everybody within Renegade's group of friends is a kick-ass fighter." Liecy said as Conner smirked. "Maybe not you." Liecy said as Conner frowned. Julian made Mason float into the air and removed all the silver orbs from his pockets.
"Lost your weapons." Julian smirked as Mason chuckled.
"So you think." Mason said as he threw his pair of glowing dice right at Julian. Julian's eyes widened, but before the dice could explode Conner slid in front of him and made a wall of rock to block the explosion. "Thanks man." Julian said as Conner gave him a thumbs up. Lazarus grabbed Ethan's wrist and knocked his katana out of his hand.
"Bastard." Ethan growled. Lazarus twisted his wrist back and when he heard a satisfying crack he let Ethan drop to the group. "You broke my wrist!" Ethan sneered as Lazarus kicked him in the face.
"No…I thought I was just massaging it for you." Lazarus said sarcastically as Ethan growled at him. Lazarus punched him in the head knocking him out before joining the group.
"AHHH!!!" Nicky yelled as he tackled Lazarus to the ground.
"Get this crazy fucker off me!" Lazarus yelled as Nicky kept trying to punch him in the face. Lorgo made vines pop out of the floor around Lazarus and Nicky and grab Nicky. Lorgo suspended Nicky in the air before smashing him against the wall repeatedly. He finally got knocked out and Lorgo let him fall to the ground. "Thanks." Lazarus said as he dusted his clothes off. Donovan punched Mason across the floor making him knock his head against the wall knocking him unconscious.
"I got the stone. Let's go!" Cat said as everybody left the building.
"Finally! I don't think I could take another minute of Onyx!" Ruby yelled as everybody came through the door.
"So…how do we make it work?" Serenity asked as Cat took a deep breath.
"Shade, Lilac, Black." Cat said as they all gather around. "Place a hand over mine." Cat instructed as they all did as she said. The stone under their hands started to glow as red beams shot out and flew into the bodies of the recipients.
"Whoa…what happened?" Flash said rubbing his head. "I felt like I was hit by a truck filled with hippos." Flash said as Ivy squealed and hugged him tightly. Onyx picked up his board and silently walked over to Topaz. She smiled softly as he held her hand. Brice tightly hugged Nicole which made her happier than ever.
"Oh my God! What happened?! Did I miss my class? Did I miss Gray's Antimony?!?!" Amber exclaimed as Topaz sighed in relief.
"That show is so boring! Let's watch Transformers!" AJ exclaimed as Lazarus patted his back with a smile. "What?" He asked confused.
"Nothing." Lazarus said as he walked over to Tsunami.
"Quick! What is pi?!" Lauren asked as she held Chrissy's shoulders.
"3.14159-"Lauren squealed as she hugged her tightly. Chrissy just patted her back as Stephan laughed silently. Everybody was relieved as Cat threw the stone out the window.
"What's going to happen to it?" Black asked as Cat sighed.
"Unfortunately it's going to go back to Mason. They always manage to return to the owner unless he or she dies." Cat said as Black sighed. They both turned around to see Serenity, Julian, and Ginger all glaring at them.
"We want to know about this whole stone shit. Now." Julian demanded as Shade and Lilac looked at Black and Cat wide-eyed.
(Now the moment you've been waiting for)
Alana looked up at Rafael in shock as Rafael started to lean forward. A thousand thoughts were running through her mind as his face started coming closer to hers. Alana put her hand on his face stopping it from coming any closer.
"I can't. Not now. Not to Renegade." Alana said as she looked down sadly.
"'Not now'?" He questioned as Alana looked up at him. "So, there's a chance?" Rafael asked as Alana's eyes turned pink.
"I-I-"Rafael interrupted her by tilting her head up.
"I'll return." Rafael whispered before kissing her fully on the lips. Alana opened her eyes to see that she was back in her room. She touched her lips softly before standing up and walking out of her room.
"There you are! I haven't seen you since you got back!" Lauren exclaimed as Alana smiled softly.
"Sorry. I just wanted sometime to myself." Alana said as Lauren hugged her friend.
"Are you ok? Did that guy hurt you?" Lauren asked as Alana shook her head. She was about to tell her what actually happened, but stopped. She would think it was wrong. She would be appalled at the idea of her liking someone else besides Renegade.
"Nah, I'm fine. Listen, I'm going to go for a walk." Alana said as she grabbed her jacket and walked out of her apartment. She didn't really go for a walk, but just to the roof to think. She couldn't talk to any of her friends about this. None of them would understand. They were all with their soul mates and believed Renegade was hers. But now she's questioning it.
'It's not like I think Rafael is, but Renegade seems less and less every time I think about it. Ugh! I wish I had someone to talk to.' Alana thought as she buried her head into her knees. She stood back up and started to head towards the door when something gleamed out of the corner of her eye. She turned her head to see something light colored lying on to ledge of the roof. She walked over and picked it up. It was a light blue stone with a star looking symbol with small dots between the spacing and in the middle. She looked at it confused before putting it around her neck and walking down to her apartment.
(A/N): Sorry for the short chapter and the lame Alana/Rafael thing.
