Chapter 8
AN: hey guys here is the next chapter, sorry that I left you hanging. Hope you enjoy.
"Today gentlemen we rid ourselves of this abomination and with it the Enemy dies too." The skinny dark skinned Pilgraet cooed, his dark eyes sparkling as he scowled at Skye.
The same man who tackled Skye, lead the attack. Sif was kept busy fighting him off with some difficulty.
"You Asguardian; cannot stop us. The Samento's guardian has left you alone. She knows this is the only way to stop the Enemy before they take yet another planet. Tell me humans if it was up to killing one abomination, or having your planet destroyed, which would you chose?" The Pilgraet declared.
Unconsciously Skye was silently screaming for Alex's help. The ground began to shake; Skye used it to her advantage. Roots deep down in the earth from the sparse trees on the street she coiled the vines around the dark skinny one that at first was surprised then laughed a hideous cackle.
"You really are pathetic. That will do you no good." He broke off screaming as something landed on top him.
"You are the pathetic one." Alex hissed in his ear then she jumped off him and yanked him up by his throat, her hands glowing he cried out in pain as his skin burnt. "Filisk you have been very bad. Negotiating with the ENEMY like that, bargaining off Earth for Waodango. Yes I know all about that." She muttered, loud enough for only him to hear. Whilst holding him with one hand, she used the other to extract his heart, turning him to ash. "Before any of you do something you will regret. I am making you an offer, return to your home and forget about the girl."
All seven refused; with the one Sif killed, and their Commander dead, they wanted revenge. Maria and May fired off a few shots realising it didn't harm them they stopped and rather stared in awe as Alex now with a sword in her hand that appeared from nowhere she sliced through them even Sif had to admit the kid had talent seeming how difficult she found fighting just one Alex was fighting two off at once while killing any that tried getting around her by blasting them with light from her hand. She dodged a knife while blocking a sword stroke she stood shoulder to shoulder with the swordsman's; their swords locked at the hilt, she then kicked him in the groin and a flick of her wrist she sliced across his neck she then stabbed behind her with a backward thrust killing one that tried sneaking up on her. Sif was fighting with another which had slipped past her while she was in her sword duel. Now there was only one and he fell to his knees begging for Mercy.
"Please, please, please Ar…" he was interrupted by Alex's hand clasping firmly over his mouth and his eyes grew wide in fear. Alex leaned over and whispered in his ear understanding show in his eyes followed by relief as he nodded, their eyes locked for a second then she turned to face the others. Sif had finished the guy off that she was fighting and was now looking at Alex with interest. Skye noticed that her grip on her sword didn't falter before sprinting over to her; relief all too obvious in her eyes.
"You came! I can't believe you came. You know when you said just ask for help and I`ll come, I have to be honest, I had my doubts." Skye ravelled on.
Alex blamed it on her nerves. As she listened she glanced at those around her; Maria was securing the last of the Pilgraets, May was still eyeing Alex with suspicion and it seemed Sif was too.
"I am Lady Sif, warrior of Asguard, and who shall you be?" She demanded
"You can call me Alex, Lady Sif I have heard much about you." Alex replied.
"Well I have not heard much about you perhaps if you tell me where you come from. I will know at least then who I can thank." Sif replied calmly.
"I must deny you the pleasure, such a shame too. However there is no need for thanks, but I can tell you I am here to protect the Earth. I fear there is a war coming, which they are nowhere near ready for." Alex answered with just a hint of sarcasm.
AN:Who is Alex? Will they be able to protect the Earth from 'The Enemy'? Is Skye safe?
I will give you the next chapter if I get 5 reviews on what you are thinking.
