MARINA

I had just finished putting a bullet in a Mog's brain when the pain ripped through me. I screamed out as a hot red mark appeared across my ankle. I could hear the other's screams as well.

When the pain stopped I looked around; at the astonished faces of the rest of us and the smiling faces of the Mogs. I looked at John. He nodded, signalling for us to retreat.

We weren't the only ones who had to retreat. The grinning faces of the Mogs disappeared in the bushes. We all stood there, looking at the mangled body of one of the strongest Loric to live. We looked at Lailah, Number Five.

Suddenly there was a bright light. I closed my eyes. When I opened them I gasped. A handsome young man was glowing and floating in mid-air. Ahmit. He had a tear trickling down his cheek as he looked at Lailah.

'W-What are you?' I asked.

He didn't answer, but used something - telekinesis - to pick up Lailah's body and carry it in his arms. He looked up and his face transformed.

His handsome features turned to a bright light. His whole body was now made of a glowing golden light. He still carried the limp body of Lailah in his arms.

Then, he replied. 'Did you really think yours and the Mog's planets were the only other planets with living creatures?'

'What are you?' I asked again.

'I am an Archangel,' and with that Ahmit and Lailah's bodies disappeared.

We stood there, completely shocked. I stumbled forward, so did the others.

Six walked forward and turned to face us. 'This isn't the end.'

We all nodded.

It was never the end. We would avenge our friends, our family and our planet. We would fight Setrakús Ra and win. We would escape this place and go back to our planet, we would win. This will never be the end.
