Before we get this chapter started I would like to thank irken24 for one of the ideas I'm going to use in this chapter, and for updating the Super Random Awesome Show, which I love. So if you haven't read that, go check it out – after this, of course. Please don't ditch me. ;-)
Emma's pov
I saw the men all around us with super deadly guns and realized that I probably couldn't just walk out of here anymore. I decided I wanted to get Ferb out more than I wanted to see how many men-with-guns I could kick tush on. See Linda? I can prioritize. I grabbed my son and waved at Carter.
"Well, I'm outta here - ta." I said, and teleported away. We teleported to a hill overlooking the base. Ferb stared at me.
"you can teleport?" He asked. I grinned at him.
"You didn't think you got your powers from your father, did you?" I asked. "Now Carter, that's one twit who's going to need a reality check. And now, we're the ones with the element of surprise." Ferb smiled softly. This was going to be fun.
Phineas' pov
So Ferb's mom can teleport. Cool. I turned to Carter. "Are you just going to hide behind your private army or are you going to fight me?" I asked. He shrugged. He knew I was still weak from my molecules depleting and my powers basically eating me alive internally. So he had an advantage. But then again, so did I. I was an Ember – 'nuff said. I wasn't ready for him to lunge at me, but I still leaped over him, rolled, and was back on my feet. That was so cool. He grinned.
"I see the little boy still doesn't know his own strength." Carter said. I clenched my fists and pointed at him.
"I'm not the one who totaled a flying saucer." I said.
"Hey don't point that thing at me – And how did you know about that?" I shrugged. He was so embarrassed about that his face was getting as red as a tomato. Or a sports car. He lunged at me again and I hit him with a bunch of random martial arts moves I didn't even know the names of - or how the heck I managed to do them, but let's not open up that book. (Thanks again to irken24 for that idea!)
"So is that a power, or are you just a really lame fighter?" I asked. Carter grimaced and got up from where he'd landed, about 20ft away. (Again, where did that come from?) He grabbed a long shiny from his belt. I stared at it. "Okay you keep a sword in your belt? Whoa!" I jumped out of the way as I narrowly missed getting cut in half. I saw my friends and the secret agent people taking out the guards quietly out of the corner of my eye.
"What's the matter? The little boy too scared of a pointy silver thing?" Carter said mockingly.
"Um, I have a disability – I'm not scared of anything or anyone until it or they hurt me." I told him. "So no, I'm not scared of it, I'm just being cautious." I back-flipped over to a guard that was unconscious and grabbed a sword from his belt. I stood up and faced Carter. "En garde." (Sorry if that's spelled wrong.) Carter lunged at me and the fight was on. I didn't know how I was blocking him. Apparently being an Ember included perks like knowing how to handle weapons you'd never even considered using before. And doing stuff that could seriously injure people. Which was very, very cool. "Is it just me, or does this remind you of some old Zorro movie?" I asked Carter.
"Swordplay is more than just stuff that you see on movies. It's actually very dangerous." Carter hissed between his teeth. I nodded.
"Yeah, I totally get that, but I feel so weird doing this right now." I said. Carter smiled his awful smile that said he knew something I didn't.
"There's one advantage I have that you don't though." He said. I made a face that said 'I think not.' "You play by the rules." He said. I dodged the sword and pushed towards him. "I. Cheat." I grinned as I hit his sword with mine, immobilizing his so he couldn't make any more moves. Then I felt a thud in my chest. I looked down to see that my shirt was turning red. I looked up at him, the world spinning. Then I fell into blackness.
