When the smoke finally cleared up, the shield that Fallon created disappeared. All of us straightened ourselves as we stood up.
"We got him," I shouted.
"He created that thing in his own image," said Fallon. She picked a piece of rock and threw it to the ground. "We were able to destroy it before it could destroy us."
"Nice building collapsing, by the way," Benny complimented Ethan.
"I try my hardest," said Ethan.
"Now all we have to do is get Stern," said Erica. "Where the hell is he?"
"Guys," Rory pointed out to us.
Noises of car engines were not that far. It looked like there were tanks from the army along with them.
"The army," Erica gasped. "What are we going to do?"
"I'll handle this," said Ethan.
All of the trucks stopped. Out of one of them an old but built man. He removed his glasses and gave a confused look.
"General Phineas E. Tucker," said the man.
"Ethan Morgan," said Ethan. "This is my family: Rory, Jesse, Fallon, Erica, Sarah, and Benny."
"Why are y'all here?" I demanded.
"That's military business, ma'am. We will escort you—"
"No, this is our fight," said Fallon. "If you think that this is some kind of extra terrestrial shit, you thought wrong."
"What in the Sam hell are y'all talking about?" Tucker demanded.
"Sir, we are nothing like you. Like any of you." said Benny. "I'm a spellmaster. These four are vampires. Ethan reads thoughts and moves things with his mind."
All of the soldiers started laughing at Benny. I came up and led him back to our group.
"Prove it, boy," laughed Tucker.
Benny deliberately snapped his fingers and said, "Look at your gun."
Tucker looked down and found his gun to be replaced with a snake. He dropped it to the ground and pulled out another gun. The rest of the army pulled out their guns and aimed at us.
Unexpectedly, all of their guns and even their tanks floated up into the air. One of their guns was aiming at Tucker. Ethan stepped up in front of us.
"Mary, mother of god," Tucker said under his breath. "What are you?"
"You don't live in the world you think you live in," Ethan explained. "We're on your side. We need all the help we can get. I don't care about you or your army. I care about them, alright? Help us, please. I'll drop them."
Ethan let the guns drop to the ground. He stepped back towards me and I grabbed his arm.
"What are we going up against?" Tucker asked us.
"Stern was a sorcerer," Ethan said aloud. "He wanted power more than anything. He has the Optimus force. He is living energy and controls everything and anything. You have never seen anything like this. This is dangerous, but it's the only way to save us all. I'm not letting Stern take us down without a fight."
"Neither will I," said Tucker.
"Ethan, can you get anything?" I asked.
"I know where he is. We have to head to the Golden Gate Bridge."
"Gentlemen, let's follow these kids."
Rory and Jesse lifted Benny and Ethan on their backs as we followed them to the Golden Gate Bridge. We led the army tanks straight towards there.
Until we stopped. We realized that the other side of the bridge was gone.
"Oh, no," I said. "The bridge."
"Stern must've done this." said Fallon. "What do we do now?"
"Everybody, get on the bridge!" commanded Ethan. "Hurry up!"
"Ethan, what are you doing?" I asked.
He stopped at the end of the bridge and looked back at me. "Don't worry. This is what I made for."
Ethan turned back and slowly lifted up his arms. As he closes his eyes, the bridge started rumbling. Most of the soldiers were startled.
"What is he doing?" asked Tucker.
"Don't interrupt him," I snapped at him.
Both ends of the Golden Gate Bride have broke and began floating into mid air. Ethan was doing all of this.
"I'm proud of him," I said.
"So am I," mumbled Benny.
Suddenly, the sounds of crashing waves were far from us. I turned to my right and saw it. Millions of gallons of heavy water heading toward us.
"Stern is trying to stop us," said Benny. "Ethan needs to stop."
"If he stops, then we'll all die," said Jesse. "He can't float us all the way up in time."
"No more time to be wasted," Fallon interrupted. She ran floated down to the shore. "Sometime you have to make sacrifices…even if the sacrifice is yourself."
"Fallon, what are you doing?" Jesse yelled at her.
"I'll stop this thing," she replied. "Jesse, do me a favor!"
"Anything!"
"Don't forget about me!"
"I won't. I can't!"
"Farewell, my darling." A tear dripped from her face.
Before the water could hit us, Fallon lifted his arms up and the rushing waves circles us like a shield. We looked down at her. She was in a circle surrounded by water. While Ethan floated us up more, Fallon didn't come back up or anything. She just stayed there blocking everything.
"Fallon, get back up," I screamed. "Fallon?!"
She didn't come back up. Her arms fell back to her body and the waves crashed down on her. They finally calmed down.
"NOOOO!" screamed Jesse. He lurched towards the end of the bridge wanting to leap into the water for Fallon. Rory and I forcefully tackled him down and locked his arms together.
"Jesse, it's too late," I told him. "I'm sorry. Her mind was made up."
"Bring her back," he mumbled to himself. "Bring her back to me. Don't take her away from me. Please don't!"
Finally, he stopped shaking and looked up at me. "She's gone, isn't she?"
"Yes, I'm sorry."
"Fallon made this choice and she got te results of it."
"She already a choice, Jesse. Fallon chose you."
"I will never be able to heal as faster as I did before. By the power of immortality, I vow to avenge my Fallon if it's the last thing I ever do."
Fallon had to sacrifice herself for us. How could we take advantage of that kind of friend like Fallon? She gave herself up for us and we must fight in her honor.
I stood in front of the army and said, "We are going up against something none of you ever thought would exist. This army is inhumanly powerful and unstoppable, but this is not their place. This is not a world for robots and evil people to take over. This is our home! No one comes to our world and tells us what to do! We are going to fight until we can't fight anymore! Let's open the gates of hells and lock these bastards in there!"
All of them cheered in response. I knew how they felt. They have no clue about what Stern is capable of. They were only fighting for their world. I'm fighting for my family: Rory, Benny, Erica, and Ethan. All of them were worth fighting for.
I looked to the side of our flying bridge. A view of an old building caught my eye. The place on an island looked so familiar. Have I seen this place before? What was the name of it?
"Alcatraz?" Benny mumbled.
Alcatraz! The most dangerous prison ever. How could I forget this place? I wonder if Al Capone's body was found here.
"He's here," I said.
"We're gonna stop that bastard," said Rory. "Whatever it takes. For Fallon."
"She shall be avenged," murmured Jesse.
Ethan lowered us to the shore of Alcatraz island. Benny said to the army, "Guys, I'll make sure he doesn't see y'all. Stay here."
Benny waved his hands at them and they suddenly disappeared.
"Did you make them disappear?" I asked.
"No, they're just invisible," he explained.
The six of us stepped off and stopped for the moment. I looked at Ethan and he looked back.
"I'm sorry that I ever dragged you into the supernatural world in the first time," I blurted out.
"If you hadn't expose your true species to me, I would've never known you," he said.
"I love you."
"I know."
"Guys, it's time for me to expose my secret," said Erica. "Out of you three dorks…I actually thought all three of y'all were cute."
We all looked at her. I pulled Ethan close to me in jealousy.
"What?" asked Jesse. "Which one of them do you like the most?"
"Well…" Out of the ordinary, Erica threw herself onto Rory and forcefully kissed him.
"Why did I see this coming in the first place?" said Benny.
Finally, she let him go and smiled a bit. Rory just looked at her surprised.
"Alright, Air," he said. "I have never so attracted to you until now."
"Where's Stern?" demanded Jesse. "I want him to suffer now."
"And he will," I said.
Figures started appearing from Alcatraz. It was those androids. Along with them was Stern.
"Only six of y'all were there," joked Stern. "Oh, yes, the sorceress. What's her name again? Fallon. I bet she's doing good now."
Jesse angrily clenched his teeth tight.
"We stopped you once," Ethan said aloud. "You know that we can stop you again."
"Yes, but when I have an army, I am unstoppable."
"You were unstoppable…until you met us."
Benny snapped his fingers to reveal the army. Stern gazed at us.
Once the sun went down, the battle began.
