Hey guys Chapter 4 is here. I'll be posting from whoevers POV is most interesting at the time in my story. Please review on what you think :)
Chapter 4 Five
It's been a couple of days now waiting here for the garde to show up. All I do is either ambush passing mogadoriens scouting groups and kill them or wipe there memories using my legacy and send them back to base. I've built up quite the collection of swords and guns from the mogs I've killed. Maybe the garde can use them if they show up.
Maybe I'll give them a few more hours. I'm just so tired. I've been up since the crack of dawn staring down where the Valley is. Hoping Zero is busting out there by himself but the more I watch the more worried I get. Just one quick nap…
I'm woken by the sounds of rustling in the trees.
"Looks like another Mog patrol Lars" I whisper to Lars now in a half falcon half dog like shape ready to pounce as my backup. I hide behind the nearest tree.
"Ow! Bloody tree's" I hear one of them curse in anger. I run between two trees quickly and get my knife out.
"Hi nice to meet you I'm-" Someone said from behind me. Shit they've flanked me. Before I know it I've flipped the one behind me over my shoulders and got my knee to his chest and my knife to his throat.
"There she is!" A boy yells. As they run towards me. I have no choice but to use my legacy.
"Freeze!" I yell. I stand up knowing that the one on the floor isn't going anywhere either. It's only then I get a good look at my attackers and there just teenagers like me. Four of them are girls and three are guys. Still I can never be sure about what trick the Mogs might try to capture me again.
"Alright everybody show me your ankles" I speak loud enough so only they hear me and not some passing Mog patrols.
"Kinky!" a feral looking one says.
They each compliantly show me there knees still frozen mostly in the position I stopped them in. Hell it's not as if they have much choice about what they do around me. They all have the scars except for one. I walk up to her and put my knife near her throat.
"Who are you and why are you travelling with Garde?"
"Please she's human! Don't hurt her! You can trust me I'm Number Four" One of them with brown hair shouts. He looks so desperate and he has the scars.
"Alright" And with that I let them go. I run up to the one I floored by the trees and give him a hand up.
"Sorry about that" I say.
"Its fine just keep in future can you keep your knife away from my throat" He says smiling. I'm amazed he got over me flooring him so quickly.
"I'm Eight. Legacy of teleportation at your service" he says.
"Sweet. That explains how you got to me so fast" I say nodding. The other garde and the human girl walk up to me. Time to introduce yourself Five.
"Hi I'm number Five. Sorry about you know the threatening knife in your faces and stopping you in your tracks" I say.
"How did you do that?" the tall feral looking one says.
"It's a weird legacy. If I say something it's like instantly that's the only thing you can do."
"Cool. I mean it's no laser vision or anything but-"he starts to say.
"Stop talking" I say. I've already had enough of this cocky guy and it's been barely two minutes. All of the garde laugh.
"I've been waiting for someone to do that. Names Six." A blonde one approaches me and shakes my hand.
"So what can we do about your friend, Five?" Four says.
"See that valley down there. Underneath there is a mog base. I think I killed some of their workforce with Lars here." I say as I point to the valley and Lars still in his half falcon half dog form.
"Oh yeah you can talk now Nine" I say to the rather annoyed looking Nine.
"Is he your boyfriend or something because it was enough trouble getting her out." He says as he rubs his mouth and points to the human girl.
"What no. I mean he almost was but that doesn't matter. We've got to get him out soon. Who knows what they're going to him in there." I say. Why would he ask me that? In fact why did I answer?
"So does he have a name? For example I'm Marina or number Seven and this is Ella who's Number Ten" the oldest looking one says.
"You made it out alive?! Nice work number Ten." I say trying my friendliest smile at her.
"So his name?" She says.
"Zero." Suddenly they all go pale from hearing that name and look at each other.
"Well I mean he has a real name but he's never told-"
"Zero?! As in the sword of the mogadorien race Experiment Zero?" Nine shouts.
"Is that what they're calling him? He'd never hurt us. I promise" I say. How did they know about him? They all keep looking at each other sheepishly.
Number Seven walks up to me "I trust you"
"Thanks" I reply
"Yeah me too" number eight says.
"Alright in that case if we're all friendly right now it seems like you need some-"I say.
"Jesus Christ!" Nine shouts. Must have found my weapon stash already. I walk to the clearing where I left the mog swords and guns. I'd better sort out the human first.
"Hey human! I've got something for you" I shout to the blonde one.
"What?" she replies.
"This is my modified mog blaster. It'll poison as well as hurt any mog it touches. Just don't hit Zero with it." I say in a low tone whilst everyone is picking a weapon out.
"I have never been more afraid of you" Four says to the human before she can ask why I told her not to hit Zero.
"What about you five? What weapons have you got except for your lovely voice." Nine says to me.
"Shut up and these" I say as I get Zero's twin dark blades out. Did he just look a little scared for a brief second?
It's almost time. I look up to the sky and see its starting to get dark but the lights of New York keep the sky bright. In a few hours Zero you'll be out of there I think as I look down to the valley hiding him.
