Chapter 21 Sam
I thump my head back and forth on the back of the chair cursing my luck. Brutus turns us around and moves the car outside of range of the checkpoint and stops the car.
"Okay good news and bad news guys. Good news is that I can probably get us through this by claiming I'm on the Mogadorians side.
"And the bad news?" Ella asks.
"We may have to wait until there are less people around until I can go out. You know 7ft and ghostly pale. Might be more than a bit suspicious." Brutus replies.
"Are there walkie-talkies in here Brutus?" Six asks suddenly. Brutus looks around in the glove compartment and finds pair.
"What are you planning on doing?" he asks as he cautiously passes them over to Six.
"Me, Sam and Marina can go out without being seen. We go to Sam's dad's underground base and find whatever's there and get out of there with no one seeing us. You and Adam look after Ella and the chimera and when we call you via walkie-talkie you come and pick us up." Six says rapidly.
Brutus sighs and nods his head. "On one condition though if you run into any trouble that you can't handle you call me and I'll be there within minutes." We nod our heads in agreement and get out the car. Six places her hand in Marina's and they instantly turn invisible. It takes me a moment to blend my skin into the background. The most I can figure about this power is that with my Mog blood being suited to blend in cities it somehow became amplified when the Mogs drugged me into my 'Zero' state. I always wondered why I seemed to be near invisible in Paradise high.
We take the walk to my house and stay off the main track and instead go through peoples gardens until we come across mine. The garden is still trashed from when we returned the first time and my house looks deserted. My mom must have left. It sends a pang of guilt through my stomach not being able to see her and explain why I'm currently one of the FBI's most wanted.
I see the familiar well and put in my birthdate matching with the Loric numbers and it creaks open. We crawl down the tunnel slowly until I slip on a step and fall to the floor.
"You alright?" Marina asks from the top of the ladder.
"Fine." I answer. I finally get a good look at this place; it's a bit like an underground office except there are papers thrown everywhere. I jump back when I see the seven foot skeleton and stare at its face. It doesn't look Loric, it looks almost like a Mogadorian soldier.
"This better be worth it Sam" I hear Six say as she jumps the last couple steps of the ladder. I pick myself up and look at her. She seems almost jumpy to be back in here, granted the 7ft skeleton doesn't help.
"So what are we looking for" Marina says as she climbs down the last step. She suddenly sees a skeleton and yelps.
"Joder un esequeleto!" she shouts then covers her mouth looking shocked at her language. I signal for her to be quiet, a Mog coming in here is the last thing we need.
"So what are we looking for?" Marina whispers.
"Anything that looks important." I reply. Marina looks annoyed at this, guess she doesn't like vague answers. We all start looking through papers in separate corners, all I come across are papers detailing the time of when the Loric and the Mogadorians came to earth. They all are at the same time to the biggest natural disasters on earth. I keep looking through the papers looking for anything that could show me where more bases or my dad could be.
"Hey Sam." Marina calls. "I think I've found something."
I walk over to her and see a large folder labelled SR. I look through the pages of the folder with Marina at my side, Six continues to look in her corner. It has pages and pages of gene pictures in labelling faults comparing it to human DNA and something called an SR gene.
"What the hell is an SR gene?" I whisper to myself. I continue to look through the dusty pages and wonder what my dad meant. Marina suddenly slaps her hand across a page and points slowly. I see the picture and realise it's a skeleton of a Mogadorian.
"This is about Mogadorian weaknesses, if we can use this on Setrakus Ra" Marina starts.
"Then the war will be over. We can go home." Six cocludes. The room is silent for a moment letting this new piece of information sink in.
"I'll get Brutus to bring the car round. We can leave and get to the base he mentioned." Marina says. She takes the walkie-talkie of her waist and starts calling in to Brutus. I'm left staring at Six.
"We should tell John and the others about this." I say smiling, giddy at the fact we've found Mogadorians weakness but also mine. I look at my body and wonder if I was hit in a certain place would it would kill me?
"Yeah it-"Six is interrupted by a loud clanging. We all look up slowly and see the dust fall. Suddenly I'm struck by how easy it was to get in here. No guards, No security, but leave us in a small hole and kill us off with a bomb would be the easiest option to take out two Garde.
"Brutus get here fast!" Marina shouts.
"On my way" I hear Brutus's voice from the walkie-talkie. Another clang and the well shakes.
"Get ready to fight!" Six shouts. I take out my swords and try to remember how I used them when the Mogs made me into Zero. Suddenly a wave of pain hits my head and I double over. Marina moves next to me but I signal I'm fine.
I hear voices coming from up top and recognise them as Mogadorian. Instantaneously the well top hits the ground and I see the shadows of Mogadorians looking down at us smiling viciously. I grab the folder from the desk and see Six launch her way up the ladder. Marina follows after her and I take one last look at the Skeleton before climbing up the steps into the sunlight.
Six is fighting using her elemental manipulation to change the rapidly setting sunlight into dark rain, four Mogadorians are launched against my house and bricks fall off before they become ash. Marina has her knife and is slashing any Mog that gets close. There looks to be about forty Mogs and animals. Suddenly I'm launched off my feet and onto a ground; a dark furred animal with sulphuric breath tries to eat to my face. Then it's launched off me.
Marina runs over and we have our backs to each other, protecting one another.
"You owe me one." She shouts, she then lunges forward and slices a Mogs throat.
"More than one." I shout back. Soon the Mogs have circled us and we are desperately trying to fight them off but there are too many. Six has disappeared somewhere and we are looking for some indication she's still around and not wounded.
Without warning Nine's car crashes through my garden fence and takes down Six Mogs. Brutus hops out the car with Ella and Adam and is throwing nearby Mogs into the trees at the end of my garden. I swear Brutus might have the worst road rage I have ever seen. The Mogs have seen the number change now and are starting to flee. Six appears and any Mog that comes her way is thrown back and I stab them with my duel swords.
"YES!" Brutus shouts. "We will take back Lorien" I smile at this and cheer back to Brutus but he loses his smile. It's as if the world has gone in slow motion. I hear a sickening slice. Brutus's body has become rigid and he looks down at the glowing green sword that has just gone through his stomach before he collapses to the ground.
So what did you think? Tune in next time for the Power of Five!
