Chapter 31 Marina

Malcolm Goode hides in the corner. Sam runs and try's to punch Setrakus Ra but gets batted away every time he gets close. Six is struggling to get out of Setrakus Ra's grasp; she floats in the air shouting. Nine deals with the squadrons that try to get close to the door, his movements seem almost robotic. You can see tears in his eyes.

All in all we're screwed.

I get my hunting knife out and try to summon my legacies but nothing comes. I still have my speed though, at least for now. I run towards Setrakus Ra thinking of all that he's taken from us. Our cepans, our friends and now Five lies dying and there's nothing I can do about it.

"Join me Sam. Fulfil your destiny and your friends live today." He says. Six struggles and suddenly the air becomes cold, my hairs stand up on end and I hear a faint crackling. Suddenly a flash of light fills the room. Six drops to the ground and I see the hatred in her eyes. She runs up to him and lands a punch to his face before she gets kicked away.

I go to her and see her lip bleeds and she's got the beginning of a black eye. "Six! Six!" I yell trying to get her to focus on me; she focuses on something behind me and raises a hand pointing at whatever it is. I spin around and see them covered in black army gear and trench coats.

The clones.

Setrakus Ra must notice them as well because he starts to laugh manically. I gulp and realise we're outmatched, we need Five with us. She can talk them down. My mind flashes back to the cave in India, in one of the drawings all of us were around Setrakus Ra. No Five, no end to this war.

Nine suddenly starts to shake. His eyes turn a bright blue and the air becomes static. He yells and his arms become covered with electricity running up and down them like the world's most dangerous sparkplug. He turns around and punches a Sam clone that gets close to him and it is blown back against a wall. It's down for a moment before it looks confused and goes back to battle, this time it runs to me and uppercuts my face. I dodge out of the way but not in time and consequently my chin gets hit on the side and starts to bleed.

I quickly jump forward and stab it in the throat. It looks at me scared and I remind myself it's not Sam. I pull the knife out and it collapses to the floor. I look at my knife and see a dark liquid surround my knife. The clone fumbles a bit on the floor like a fish out of water before it stops moving. One down nine to go.

Setrakus Ra starts to yell again. He gets his whip out and slashes it towards Eight. A wave of Fire is released towards him.

"EIGHT!" I scream. He turns around and the flames hit his tanned arms and burn him. He falls to the floor clutching them. Mogadorians start to swarm him and I feel my heart stop. Suddenly Nine and Sam are there. Nine knocks them into Sam and they crumble to ash when he snaps their necks.

I run to Eight and put my hands to his arms. The burn has gone right down to his bone in some places and he bleeds heavily. I put my hand on his arms gently but my power doesn't return. John has just entered the fight and distracts Setrakus Ra and sets himself alight. The flames start to turn red and then blue and then white. Like a Loric Rudolf a small part of me thinks.

"Why aren't you healing him?!" Sam says urgently.

"I can't!" I scream at him. Eight has tears running down his face and I feel my heart break and realise what has to be done to end this.

"Sam." He looks up at me his face etched with worry. "We can't end this war today. If you don't leave with Setrakus Ra today we're going to die. Please it's the only way." I whisper my heart now shattering; we're sending Sam to be a sacrificial lamb to save us. The Loric aren't meant to be selfish yet I am to save Eight and Five. Sam nods slowly understanding what he has to do.

"If he kills me immediately, don't go after my body. Run Marina. Save Eight and Five and run. Forget about me." He stands up and walks to Setrakus Ra slowly.

"You win!" He shouts. "You can have me as long as you let my friends go!" Setrakus Ra stops fighting John and suddenly I feel the world slow down. I feel like I'm walking through thick oil that slowly suffocates me. I start to panic and watch Sam give himself to Setrakus Ra.

"You're a smart one. I chose my heir correctly. You are truly a Ra." He says smiling down at him. He gets out two little machines and I remember them as the things that turned him into the raging beast. Zero.

"What?" Sam asks.

"Malcolm gave you more than strength he gave you some of my DNA. We are the same." Suddenly Setrakus snaps the two machines on Sam's ears and he howls in pain for a full minute. His screams run through my head. I try to run to him but can't move. Setrakus Ra looks like this hurts him keeping this time still, a weakness we could use but not today.

A bright light appears and he leads Sam to it and disappears with a flash. Suddenly time resumes, I feel my legacies return. The Sam clones run away towards the exit as fast as they can. The Mogadorians look fearful and start to flee in every direction.

"SAM!" John and Six yell towards where the white light was. I put my hands to Eights arms and feel the icy tingle.

"No. Go to Five, she's dying, come back for me later." As much as it pains me he's right. Five first. Nine runs ahead of me and vaults over the rubble and broken walls to Five. I follow his lead trying to get there before it's too late. I see her leaning against a wall on the ground her eyes barely open. A puddle of blood surrounds her as well as Sams swords. Nine lifts Sarah off her and goes to her side.

She coughs a little. "Took your sweet time." She says sarcastically. Her eyes close and I feel a scar start to etch itself into my leg. Nine grits through the pain.

"No, Five, No!" Nine screams. The scar continues to burn through my leg. He puts his hands to her chests and I suddenly heat a loud zapping noise. She shakes and Nine puts his hand to the pulse on her neck. He repeats the motion and zaps her again. Tears roll down his cheeks and the scar has almost burnt fully into my skin signifying Five's death.

"Heal her Now!" He screams and I put my hands to the gunshot on her stomach and feel the icy tingles travel up my spine. The relief is amazing, she barely alive, but alive.

Nine brought her back to life.

Nine huddles clutching his knees to his chest watching me. His face is a pale white almost ghost like as he watches me heal her. She suddenly stirs and mumbles something when all of the shrapnel bounces out of her body.

Nine scrambles to her side. "Five! Five!" he yells at her. She flickers her eyes open and stares at him and smiles.

"Bambi?" She mumbles he goes closer to hear her. Suddenly her fist jerks and she punches Nine in the gut, he moans on the floor but smiling. She sits up and takes a few breaths before she starts to talk again.

"That's for calling me Scarlett."
