Chapter 16 John
"That was too close!" I shout. I look around the van and see it's much more like a miniature aircraft carrier on the inside. The sides are lined with weapons and the seats are worn down with two seatbelts coming from each side. Five hits a corner two fast and I slam against the side.
"Be careful of the knives John!" She shouts.
"It's cool, I'm fine, thanks for asking Five" I say back. I think her sarcastic attitude is starting to get to me. TK is in the middle of the van with two stoppers in his wheelchair studying his laptop making sure no damage was taken and starts smiling.
"What are you so happy about?" Lola asks whilst rubbing her dagger from the Mog ash. It's curved like a sickle and has symbols lining it.
"It's been a while since I've had adrenaline like that coursing through me" TK says. Five takes another corner too hard and one of TK's stoppers slips out and he starts rolling. Eight grabs him with his telekinesis and stops him before he hits the side of the van with grenades hanging from the walls.
"Careful Five!" He shouts.
"Everyone's a bloody critic!" She yells back from the driver's seat.
"Maybe I should take the wheel five?" Nine says. I notice he's again sitting next to Five on shotgun seat. This can't just be coincidence they're always together.
"Maybe you should shut up and help John with TK." She says back. Nine sighs and realises it's no good trying to talk to her and climbs in the back with the rest of us.
"What did you mean by help TK?" I say. We hit another corner Nine falls over.
"Nice one Bambi!" Five shouts.
"Maybe if you were a better driver five, I wouldn't be falling over!" Nine shouts back. The lights start dimming and then flashing over and over again. We all look around wondering what's happening. Finally TK shouts:
"Enough you two! Anyway John she means it's time to use your legacy John. It's time you healed my legs."
"I.. I don't know if I can do it again. I mean when I last used my healing legacy Sarah and Ella were in danger and-" I say.
"John. In case you haven't noticed it's going to be hard to carry around a handi-capable Cepan around the world." TK says.
"I know but what if it doesn't work?" I say looking at his legs.
"It will. You're a Loric Garde and you are all destined for greatness. Now enough with the sappy stuff and heal my legs." He says. We all smile at this and I'm struck by how much he sometimes reminds me of Henri except from the merciless training routine. I put my hands on his knees and try to use my legacy but I can't feel anything mending.
"I can't…" I say. Sarah puts her hand on my shoulder
"Put your hands back on my knees and try to draw the exact emotions you used when you were saving Ella and Sarah." TK says. I see in his eyes that he's determined for this to work. I follow his instructions and think of when I was saving Sarah and Ella. The pain of losing them, the pain of losing another Garde, the pain of losing Sarah again. I suddenly feel a rush coming from my hands and feel TK's muscles start to come back to life. The ligaments start to reattach themselves and his nerve cells start to reconnect. It takes a few minutes but soon I even feel the scars on his legs disappear. When I'm done my head pounds and the voices around me become distant and I'm passed out.
I look around the room and see cells. Behind each one is some sort of rabid animal, some I've seen like the krauls and the pikens but some make no sense to me. One animal is the size of an elephant with spikes covering every part of its body except it's head which keeps shaking left to right. Even in my dream state I can feel its emotions. Rage, hunger and desperation to get out of its cell. Another animal looks like a small money mixed with a sabre tooth tiger. It jumps around it's small cell and screams at me. I keep looking at the animals and it's all the same, they just want to be free. Suddenly I hear a walking down the halls and see Sam's torturer from my earlier dream and next to him Setrakus Ra.
"We have Intel that they escaped and have split up from Kansas. We don't know where they are." The torturer says. He looks scared in front of Setrakus Ra and is hunching himself over the towering Mogadorian.
"Are you telling me that your workforce burnt that Motel down instead of waiting for back up Drakus?" Setrakus Ra says in a calm voice.
"Yes my lord" Drakus says hunching himself over.
"And are you telling me that your workforce went for glory instead of taking out the all of Garde with one of our experimental bombs?"
"Yes my lord but experiment Zero was with them. Apparently he saved a human from burning to death." Drakus says very fast. He still wears the red cloak with blood on but this time showing his medels.
"That is an interesting development Drakus. It looks like you are worth something to the Mogadorian race. Leave now." With those words Drakus turns around and walks very fast. Before he walks out the door Setrakus Ra takes out his cane with the red eye on and aims at Drakus. When he fires it I can feel the heat from it as it burns Drakus's skin of his flesh. Drakus screams but nobody comes to his aid. Soon he is nothing but ashes steaming on the floor. Setrakus Ra turns around and looks at me.
"As for you John Smith. Expect war because we're coming for you." And with those words I'm catapulted from my dream.
