Chapter 22: The Guardian Angel
Jackson raced back to the small area where he first met Octavia. Taking flight, he flew straight to where the ship docked.
'The others had to be there by then. The day was almost over,' he thought. He landed just as Clayton, Zakee, Jake, and Sarah ran up. For some reason, Sarah looked a lot better today in her crop top and shorts.
"Damn is it good to see you four right now," Jackson said walking up too them all. Zakee dapped up Jackson and Sarah gave him a hug.
"How was the Refugee sector," she said backing up. "Did you find anything?"
Jackson looked down at the ground and said, "I met a young girl named, Octavia, and one of the officers took her to the top place; where others have gone and never return."
Sarah jumped in and said, "While I was gathering info, I saw two little girls behind a curtain in the back crying. A doctor said that 'the younger one's are better…' in terms of taste." She paused for a few seconds. "We have to save her." Jackson and her eyes were staring at Ziggy.
"You're right. No one gets left behind." Ziggy turned to the group.
"Saving Octavia is our primary mission now," declared Ziggy. As he finished the sentence, the man wearing an orange jacket from the communication's tower leaped down and stood in front of the crew.
"Who are you?" asked Ziggy with a kunai pointed towards the man in orange.
"Hold on," the mystery man said. "I'm a friend. My name is Colby." He put his hands in the air to surrender. "I want to help out in your plan. The top officials here are corrupt and need to be stopped."
"How can you help us?" asked Ziggy still pointing his kunai at him.
"I can help start the uprising in the sectors. We can give you some cover," Colby suggested.
Clayton looked at Ziggy and said, "That is a pretty good idea. That way we can infiltrate the Devil's Heart easily and free everyone in there, too."
"I like the plan. Once we get inside the Devil's Heart. We'll need to go in search for the leaders and the other imprisoned. Colby, do you have any powers?" Zakee put the kunai back in his bag.
"Yes, I can use the Force and I am a ninja. Wind, lightning, and swift release," said Colby.
Zakee looked surprised. "Alright then. That makes things a little easier."
Everyone, including Colby, nodded and awaited orders. "Colby, head for the Refugee sector to get them rowdy. We need the guard to think that y'all are going to storm up to the office at the top. When we signal to you for your big part, you can take it away from there. Try not to elect pervs and criminals. Now go on ahead."
"I'll keep that in mind," responded Colby. He ran towards the exit of the docks and to the Refugee sector.
Ziggy looked at everyone and said, "Now, it's our time. Two of us will infiltrate the top while the other two will search for Octavia and the others."
Jackson butted in and said, "Honestly, for this type of rescue mission, since I'm the fastest, should I just search the bottom and get her out of there."
"I agree with him," announced Sarah.
Ziggy looked at Clayton. "What about, you?"
"I like it, too," Clayton agreed. "The only thing is: if you run into more than two other victims, then you have to link in with us and let us know, so we can help."
"Okay, I will," Jackson said. "So, this is how were gonna do it."
He pulled out a birds-eye view picture of the three sectors. In between the Refuge and Residential sector was an office. The same office was at the top of the Refuge sector that controlled the troops and anything that dealt with the refugees. He pointed to that office and said, "This is our target. The girls are hidden somewhere in there, or a place that is connected to it."
Jackson gave two thumbs up and said, "Good luck, you guys. I'll call you in if I need you." He flew off to the spot in the Refugee center where he met Octavia the first time.
Ziggy, Jake, Sarah, and Clayton ran from the ship and towards the Devil's Corner.
Jackson landed and reached his position, then he called out to the others and let them know. They all responded with green lights, so the mission was officially a go.
Down in the Refugee sector, Colby was giving soap-box speeches at every corner drawing the attention of the oppressed refugees and angered Nar Shaddaa soldiers. Soon enough, Colby had the entire sector united against Mr. Hunt and his sadistic colleagues. Mobs formed with their main weapons being torches and a few blasters. Besides that, they fought with their hands.
Jackson heard a loud chant that sounded like they said, "Hunt down, Hunt!" The crowd said repeatedly, drawing out more and more guards from the office.
'Now's my time,' he thought.
Jackson crouched and made his way to the near wall of the office. It was three stories tall, but very long and wide. He turned and faced the wall and jumped! He landed on top of the room with ease. Jackson walked to the center of the room and knelt on one knee. He closed his eyes.
Jackson focused. A few seconds passed until he opened his eyes.
Jackson grabbed the radio and said, "There's a group of people with low power levels down beneath me. There is one power level that is a lot higher than the others, but the rest are zero with a few exceptions. They must be the kids."
"How many guards?" asked Clayton.
Jackson focused his mind towards the other floors and their surroundings. "Since a lot have gone into the Refugee sector, there are a total of twenty-two power levels, so there are twenty-two targets that need eliminated."
The rest of the crew got ready for the fight. "Okay, go ahead and head down to your spot. Call us when you're ready," said Ziggy.
Jackson stood up and walked to the back of the roof, then flew off into the air. He saw the open area where he met Octavia and aimed for that spot.
Landing as quiet as possible, Jackson walked to the edge of the sector.
There was a control room across the sector that had a door that led to an underground passageway. That route led to the basement of the main office that was on the ground floor. That basement also held the kid refugees.
Slowly, Jackson made it to a crate that had a view to that control room.
Four guards were in the area on patrol duty. The area only consisted of two pads that were used for transporting refugees and guards, so it wasn't large. Jackson pulled his communicator out of his pocket and said into it, "I'm in position."
Clayton heard Jackson's call in and looked at Zakee.
"Let's go," said Ziggy. He ran to the front door of the office from the middle sector and stood on the side next to the glass door. He slowly peered into the first room and didn't see anyone. He looked into the rooms around it and didn't see anyone either. Turning around, Ziggy motioned for the rest of the group to come on over.
Ziggy was the first to walk in. He and Sarah were the two points at the front of the formation. Sarah transformed into her Blaziken and followed in behind Zakee. In the middle was Clayton. He was there so that he can support the points with his shadow, fire, and Earth Jutsu. Jake Anderson, the Nen user, guarded the back of the formation. He was setting traps in the rooms that they had already gone in.
Ziggy walked into the lobby. The walls were white and the desks were wooden. There are two hallways in the back and another door on the side of the lobby. They creeped into the room on the side of lobby and saw a doorway to the left hallway. No one was in that room either. They continued walking to the empty doorway. Just before reaching it, they heard a voice.
"Hey, did you hear someone come through the front door?" asked the voice.
It had an immediate reply. "Yeah, let's go check it out," said the next voice.
Zakee put his finger over his puckering lips. He walked over to the edge of the doorway and poked his head out to see who was coming. Two figures dressed in a black guard suit with a bullet-proof vest. They walked to the door and observed the lock. "I thought we locked the door last time?" pointed out the first guard.
Zakee turned to Clayton and nodded his head. Clayton made the rat hand sign and used his chakra to control his own shadow. He split the shadow into two needles and shot them at the guards' shadow. They stopped moving. Zakee dashed out to the guards and placed his palms on their back. He pushed his chakra into them and knocked them out with a mediocre genjutsu.
Jake stepped into the lobby. "Shouldn't we be loud, so we can attract attention away from Jackson?"
"I think he's right," seconded Sarah.
Ziggy looked around, sighed, and said, "Fine, let's go outside. Sarah do what you want with the inside."
"Yeah, take that, Clayton," said Sarah as he Blaziken cracking its knuckles.
"Ha, just try not to kill Jackson too you psycho," he replied.
Zakee, Clayton, and Jake were standing outside when sounds of anything and everything breaking came from the inside. A desk was thrown out the windows. Sirens were going off, and water suddenly shot from another window.
Breathing a little heavier now, Sarah smirked in content for the level of damage she caused. Walls had holes in them, desks, chairs, and machines were smashed to pieces, and there was a giant hole connecting the first and second floor.
"There's the intruder," yelled out a guard from around the corner. "Get it!"
Sarah readied her Blaziken and jumped into action.
"Let's go, Bella," said one of the guards. The guard next to him glowed then changed into a katana with a red hilt. The guard charged Sarah and slashed at her. Sarah ducked and dodged the first attack. The guard quickly adjusted his attack and began a flurry of slashes and jabs. Sarah side stepped and deflected the attacks with Blaziken's hardened talon-like hands.
In a split-second opening, Sarah planted her foot and spun around to kick the guard. "Blaze kick!" she yelled.
Building up fire in her foot and leg, she delivered a fiery kick that blew the guard through the wall.
Three more guards ran into the lobby. Two were making a series of hand signs while the other ran at Sarah with a katana. All three of them stopped, and said a different thing.
The first on the left finished her hand signs and said, "Earth Style: Swamp of the Underworld!" The floor turned into a swamp that was up to their knees.
The guard on the right yelled out, "Water Prison Jutsu!" Water began to form in a circle around Sarah. She could still breath, but couldn't move.
The guard in the middle then yelled out, "Dark Sword: Narukami!" as he rushed Sarah. He sliced at her and the water prison causing an explosion of dust, smoke, and water vapor. The guard sheathed his sword and stood up as the debris fell.
As the debris fell, a figure appeared next to a sphere that seemed to be the water prison. "There's no possible way that I did not cut through that simple prison Jutsu," exclaimed the guard! He jumped back to where his comrades were standing.
"You think a dull sword like that is even worth to clash against my weapons," Ziggy heckled as he held his own katana up. Smiling, he put his sword back in the sheath on his back.
"All you did was graze my katana. Now, to finish y'all off," said Zakee as he made a series of hand signs. "Water Style: Water Shark Bullet Technique!" Three sharks made of water appeared in front of Ziggy. They were each about five feet long and three feet tall with a mean look on their snout. Zakee released them, and they zoomed towards the three guards and blew them back into the wall too.
Down at the docks, the four guards outside the control room had split up. Two of them left for the fight up at the office. Jackson decided that this was his best time to attack.
With a quick burst of speed, he appeared behind the first guard and chopped his neck knocking him out. The second guard noticed him on his right. He transformed his hand into a scythe blade and tried to attack by slashing. Jackson grabbed his arm with his left hand. With his right hand, Jackson gathered chi into his palm, then slammed it into the chest of the second guard. The blast was so powerful it incinerated the solder.
He walked to the control room and opened the door. In front of a giant window was a desk full of control boards that had numerous buttons and microphones.
'I'll have to check this out on the way out,' Jackson thought. On the ground was a steel handle that was connected to a three-foot by three-foot square door. He opened the door to reveal a ladder going straight down. Jackson jumped down the hatch and land on solid ground about fifteen feet beneath the control room floor.
In front of him, about seventy yards away, stood a group of five guards. Four of the guards were in their black uniform, but the fifth was in black pants, a white guard's shirt, and a red bullet-proof vest.
'That must be the leader,' he thought.
"I'm going to have to fight them all either way," Jackson said to himself.
He began walking forward towards the group of guards. "So, who's gonna get pounded first?" he asked.
The group of guards turned around and began laughing some.
"Who does this guy think he is, Boss?" chuckled one of the grunts as he pulled two kunai from his pocket.
The boss didn't say a word.
Another guard began to take a few steps toward Jackson and said, "Hey, Dan. Wanna take him on with me?"
Dan twirled his kunai around his finger and said, "Let's crush him, Sim."
Dan bolted towards Jackson, his speed was above average for Jackson, but lower than top tier speed. Dan leaped in hoping to cut Jackson, but the attack was blocked by one of Jackson's counters. Dan was throw back into the ground as a result.
Right after Dan attacked, Sim yelled out, "Fire God's Bellow!"
A large blaze of fire shot out of Sim's mouth and toward Jackson. The blaze stood fifteen feet tall, leaving a four foot gap to the ceiling, and came at an incredible speed.
Jackson waited for the fire blast to reach him and jumped at the last second. He was levitating right beneath the ceiling just barely missing the fire. In an instant, Jackson flew straight for Sim.
As he flew right by Sim, Sim stopped the fire and engaged Jackson in hand to hand combat. Sim started with a series of combos that included jabs, hooks, knees, kicks, and more. On the defensive end, Jackson was starting to ware out from the fast punches and kicks. Jackson began building up his power while blocking the incoming attacks.
"Thor Blazer!" yelled out Dan.
A stream of fire surrounded by lightning shot at Jackson. He jumped backwards to gain some ground.
Jackson bent his fingers, placed the bottom of both his palms together, and put his hands near his left ear. "Gatlick Gun," Jackson yelled as he extended his arms and hand outward still with his palms connected. A purple blast shot from Jackson's palms and collided with the Dan's blast.
The contact created an explosion that threw dust, smoke, and dirt into the air. Because of the powerful blast, the room was also destroyed completely, so the underground passage is now fully exposed.
"Did you get him?" asked Sim.
Turning his head from one side to another, Dan replied, "I'm not sure."
Multiple small, yellow balls of chi suddenly came flying through the debris. The chi blasts would leave a tunnel between Jackson and Dan and Sim that let them see through the smoke. Dan looked through the tunnel and saw Jackson with one palm faced towards them. Jackson smirked as he fired off another round of key blasts.
Dan and Sim try their best to deflect and dodge the blasts, but a few balls happen to barely touch them. The contact is just enough to cause a small explosion resulting in damage. They stagger just a little.
"Is that all you've got?" yelled out Dan! The five other guards were now in this fight too. The guard with the white top stepped out front.
"It's time to put an end to this little game of yours," he said. "Let's see you stop this."
The cloud of smoke and dust suddenly disappeared. Jackson created a vacuum that sucked the debris out of the room just by slicing through the cloud. "I'm ready, hot-stuff," he said in reply. He stretched out his arms to the side and clenched his body to build up power.
The guard began to say a chant to himself, "Sprinkled on the bones of the beast! Sharp tower, red crystal, steel ring. Move and become the wind, stop and become the calm. The sound of warring spears fills the empty castle! Hado 63: Raikoho!"
"Final Flash!" yelled Jackson at the same time as the guard!
The guard shot a massive bolt of yellow, electricity-like energy at the Jackson, who also shot a wave of yellow chi infused with electricity at the guard. The two beams collide and the power struggle began.
The guard, desperate to do his duty, his job, poured more of his strength into it pushing back Jackson's Final Flash.
Jackson mustered up the strength to stop the advancement of the Hado spell, but it began to push him up into the sky.
Slaves in the area turned to see Jackson in mid-air fighting against a different yellow beam.
The earlier use of Gatlick Gun and the chi blasts depleted a lot of his energy. He concentrated on his energy. An image of Octavia's smile after he met her soared across his mind.
'That's right,' he thought. 'Octavia and all the other kids are counting on me to save them.'
"I can't let them get taken," Jackson muttered as parts of his hair began floating up.
"Give up, Saiyan," yelled the guard on the ground. "You are no match for my spells!" He placed all his power into this spell as it increased in size and force.
Jackson immediately felt the surge of power that was put into the guard's attack. Jackson's body tensed up from the strain being placed on the body. The attack was pushing him back. He had to do something, and do it now. The only thing he knew what to do at this moment was to give it his all. Jackson proceeded to put his everything into his Final Flash. The beam kept growing larger and larger, and the force was rising by the second. A yellow aura surrounded Jackson as he kept pushing and pushing out his energy.
"What is this?" asked the guard frantically. He could feel the pressure of the Final Flash taking over his beam. "No! I can't lose!" The yellow beam of Jackson's attack engulfed the guard's attack and hit him as well.
Completely exhausted, Jackson's yellow aura vanished and he floated back down to the ground with his shirt torn to shreds, hair damp from sweat, and pants with holes in them. He landed on the ground and fell onto his knees and hands. Sweat fell down his face and dripped onto the floor. His knees and thighs were shaking from exhaustion.
"Over here! We're over here," yelled a soft voice from around the corner!
Jackson lifted his head. "Please help us," it yelled again! Slowly, Jackson got back up on his feet.
Step after step he got to the corner. He turned it and saw a large cage filled with at least five boys and girls ranging from five to twelve. There were also at least fifteen other adults in the cage. Jackson reached for his communicator and brought it to his mouth. "I've got five kids and fifteen adults in a cage down here," he said to the communicator. Jackson walked closer to the door of the cage. "Don't worry. I'll get all of you out of here," he said to them.
The communicator began to speak. "Good, Zakee is handling the boss right now, so get them out and meet us at the rendezvous," said Jake from the other communicator.
Jackson put the communicator back in his pocket and walked to the door. "You might want to take a step back," he instructed. Using his finger, Jackson shot a chi blast at the lock of the cage. The lock broke and the door swung open freeing everyone.
"I knew you'd come! I told y'all that my guardian angel would rescue us," yelled out Octavia as she ran to Jackson. Streams of tears had stained her face and shirt. Jackson bent down and met her with a big, warm hug.
"I've got ya," he said to her in her ear.
She finally let go and said, "Thank you for saving us," as she wiped tears from her face. Jackson stood up and said, "I'd never let them take you away from your mother."
Jackson looked at the others and said, "If you want to escape, please follow me." Jackson, with Octavia right next to him, began walking to the ladder he climbed down. He took out the communicator and said, "I've got the captives. We are heading to the control room."
Jake, surrounded by a large group of guards, took a playing card in hand. It was the Jack of hearts. He threw the card at one of the guards with enough force, it impaled his throat. He slung his throwing hand back to him, and the card came flying back to his hand.
The other guards quickly lunged after Jake. However, many of their feet were stuck to the ground when they tried to move. The ones that were free, attacked Jake with whatever they had, but he jumped high into the air and took out a set of his cards. Making a circle with one arm, the cards formed a circle around him while he was still in the air. He thrust his arms forward and the cards shot down at all the guards that were trying to bring down Jake.
He landed on the ground and brought all but one of his cards back into his pack. He grabbed the communicator and responded to Jackson, "Roger that, Jackson. We'll meet you at the spot.
"You know," said a man wearing a white and black suit with a mining pin. "It's really pissing me off that you think you can wreck my city. As if I, the President, would let you do that." He was standing on the walkway right outside of the Devil's Corner. Ziggy was in front of the entrance with two kunai in hand.
"Why don't you do something about it," said Ziggy readying his weapons.
"Behold your destruction," yelled the President as he opened his arms. "Now, come and get some!"
Ziggy stood still for a moment. What could his magic be, he thought? He threw the two kunai at the President who just let them hit him.
"Why is he just taking it my hits," mumbled Ziggy.
He dashed behind the President and punched him in the kidney. The President threw his right elbow back knocking Zakee to the ground. Zakee jumped back a few yards to create some space. The President turned his head slowly and smiled.
Zakee began weaving hand signs and yelled out, "Wind Style: Wind Dragon!" Air currents behind him gathered and formed the head of a dragon. It shot straight towards the President who had turned towards the attack. He just stood there as the Wind Dragon went flying to him.
BOOM!
The dragon connected as it destroyed part of a shop. Dust that was thrown into the air began to settle.
The President stood there bent over. He stood up and looked towards Zakee and said, "Come. Let us fight like true men." He began walking towards Zakee.
Zakee agreed to the challenge and began to walk to meet the President. The two meet at the center, and Zakee spoke first saying, "You're gonna regret this."
The President laughed it off and responds by saying, "Ignorant fool!"
He swung at Zakee's face, but he countered the punch by grabbing his forearm and using the President's momentum to throw him.
Mr. Hunt stood back up and this time and did a combo of hits, blocks, and kicks on Zakee, who blocked, countered, and hit the President back.
"I guess you haven't noticed, huh," said the President. "Here's a hint. Every time you hit me, my power grows." The President's right arm began to glow a bright color.
The President dashed towards Zakee and before he knew it, Ziggy got hit at point blank range. His forearms were the only thing between the explosion and his face. The impact was so strong that it sent him through two walls of a nearby building.
"Now, it's time for my ultimate attack," yelled out the President. "I will use all the energy stored up from every time I've been hit this battle." The President's body began to glow a bright color as he began building his power.
Zakee walked out of the building and unwrapped the cloth around his wrists exposing written seals. "Come at me," he yelled!
The President yelled in anger and rushed towards Zakee. Zakee formed a series of hand signs and prepared to attack. 'I wonder if I can mix my wind and water chakra and what'd it make,' he thought.
"Water Style: Water Shark Blast!"
Three large sharks made of water formed in front of Zakee. The sharks didn't intimidate the President, as he kept running forward. He was shining brighter than ever now.
"Go," yelled Zakee!
The three water sharks zoomed towards the President at top speed. Zakee tried to infuse his wind magic into them, but nothing happened, so he stopped. The President braced himself for impact right before the sharks hit him causing an explosion that shook the walkways around them.
The smoke fell and let out a bright light. The President was still standing after that attack, and the darkness of space made him stick out even more.
"An attack like that makes me laugh," said the President with a chuckle. "I've had enough playing around time. I'm gonna end this with my next attack."
The President walked with purpose towards a staggering Zakee who was nearly out of chakra and energy. His left knee shook as it supported a firm standing while he brought a kunai up to his face. "You're not gonna do, shit, pal."
The President yelled in rage as he dashed towards Ziggy. He swung with his left arm, then his right arm, and then tried to hit him with a right hook, but Zakee ducked and dodge each attack. At the end of a series hits and counters with one another, they lock forearms as Ziggy's left forearms is pressing against the top of the President's left forearm.
Zakee saw the President smile as all the brightness left his body and focused in his right foot. With a swift round-house kick to the chest, Zakee was sent flying back with extreme speed into one of the walls behind him.
"That was my strongest kick. I focused every ounce of my power into it. Now be at ease with your defeat," said the President turning from Zakee to Sarah and Jake.
"So, your name is Sarah? Will you dance for me again," he asked walking closer and closer to her?
"That far enough," said a voice behind the President. Zakee was standing up with his knees bent and legs spread apart. He was shaking. He couldn't have more than a drop of chakra left. His hands were in the shape of the dragon hand sign. A puddle of water gathered near the President without him noticing.
"Yeah? What do you think you can do in your state," asked the President sarcastically?
Suddenly, the water from the puddle turned into thick needles and bullets. They shot at the President hitting him in the chest, legs, and arms. The impact of all the water blasted him up into the air. With all the chakra that Zakee had in his body, he cast this next Jutsu.
Water in the sky gathered and formed a large, blue dragon with red eyes. It coiled as it grew and grew. Once at max length, the water dragon let out a chilling roar that spayed water everywhere and made it look like it was raining. It let out another loud roar, but this time the breath of the roar was freezing cold. In the sky, the entire dragon began to freeze as the then water dragon was slowly forming into a monstrous ice dragon.
"This won't work," yelled the President! It was hard for him to make his way towards Zakee since the pressure and chakra he was emitting was producing a strong current of wind blowing away from him in all direction. "I will just absorb the impact then kill you!"
"I won't know unless I try, though," Zakee said as he silently commanded the ice dragon to come down on the President. The ice clanged and clinged on the way down to the ground. The dragon left a trail of steam from the hot air touching its freezing body. The ice dragon slammed into the President producing a large explosion.
Jackson was at the bottom of the ladder helping the refugees climb out of the secret tunnel. The ground began to tremble as a loud bang and crash welcomed a chilled breeze that made everyone shiver.
'Whatever that was,' he thought. 'We need to hurry.'
"Ok everyone, let's try and speed this up a tad," he said helping the others climb the ladder. He lifted the last person up and looked around the has been tunnel. He could hear other refugees screaming, guns being fired, and officers running everywhere. Flying out from the tunnel, Jackson grabbed the communicator and tried contacting Jake.
"Jake pick up," he said. "We're ready for extraction." He quickly turned a dial at the top, and it changed the communicator's frequency. "Alright Colby, the refugees and government are all yours."
Jackson ran to a gate, unlocked it, and opened it. On the other side stood a man wearing an orange jacket. He turned around and yelled out, "You did it!"
Jackson, with Octavia by his side, guided the refugees over to Colby. "Colby will take care of y'all for now on. He won't harm any of you."
Colby stood next to Jackson agreeing with everything said. "And, I do believe that there are people here to see the people that were held captive."
Colby ran over to the gate that he came in. He waved his hand and in came a group of people that can be assumed that they are the friends and loved ones of the people held captive. Jackson bends down to Octavia and said, "I know someone that would love to see you right now."
Jackson led Octavia to the edge of the docks where there was a lady dressed in refugee clothes with her back to them. She turned around slowly, and with a big smile and tears rolling down her face, she ran to her daughter and embraced her in a very long hug. "I'm so sorry, Octavia," she said repeatedly.
"It's okay," said Octavia. "He was here to save us," she said with a smile.
The mother smiled at Jackson and said, "You sure are right, sweetie."
A loud bang followed by a flash of light came from one of the top office floors behind the mom.
Too slow to react, Jackson saw a sniper laser soar into the chest of Octavia's mother. Upon impact, her eyes widened as she let out a gasp of air and yelped from pain. The shot knocked her back onto the ground.
Octavia ran up to her mother and knelt down beside her. "I love you, Octavia. So, so much," she said with a weakened voice.
Jackson ran up to the mom as she let out her final breath. The shot started a mass panic among the refugees and soldiers in the sector.
Octavia, on the other hand, was in pure shock. Her flood gates turned off and the waterworks turned on. She screamed for her mother as tears fell from her face and onto the clothes of her now deceased mom. For minutes, she wouldn't let go or stop crying, so Jackson stood next to her and defended her from the enemy's attacks. He reached for the communicator and said into it, "I need an evac for two."
"Roger that," said Jake back into the communicator. "We're coming in now."
From above, a starship lowered down far enough so that Jackson could fly up to the boarding ramp. Jackson turned towards Colby and asked, "Are you sure you've got this?"
Colby smiled and said, "Don't you worry my friend. I will not fail!"
Jackson turned to Octavia who was still crying on top of her mother. He bent down and said to her, "I'm sorry, Octavia, but we have to go, now." Her crying slowed down as she started to sniffle.
"Good, if you come with me, you'll be safe.? You don't have to be scared," said Jackson.
Octavia slowly looked up Jackson then back at her mother. "Good-bye mama," she said in return. That's all Jackson needed. He picked her up and flew to the ship's ramp that was down. On the way up, he was dodging attacks aimed for him. He landed and walked her to the door that was open for them. Jake greeted them at the door saying, "Come on in," as the wind howled around them.
Jackson gave Octavia's hand to Jake and said, "I'll be right back."
He flew off the ship and over to where the office stood. "This is for all the pain that you've caused this entire planet. Be gone. Out of existence." Jackson extended his right arm and began charging his power. An orange ball of light began to grow in front of his palm. It pulsed and vibrated as Jackson concentrated the chi inside the attack. "Let this be a symbol of starting over. Making a better path." Jackson paused. He flexed his arm and yelled, "Big Bang Attack!"
Jackson shoots the ball, which only grew once it left his palm. Upon impact, the large mass of chi grew more then exploded. The explosion destroyed the entire building and even some floors that lead down to the basement.
The sign of the previous faction has had been destroyed. Jackson flew back to the ship and walked into the main hold. Everyone gave him a high five and told him that destroying the main office was a nice touch. Sarah, Jackson, and Jake sat around the table and looked over at Octavia laying down on a couch.
"So, what are we going to do with her," asked Sarah?
Jackson sighed. "I don't know. I guess we can take her back to the base and see if she has a power, then train her."
Jake chimed in, "We should let her decide. She could be someone that works as a secretary or something within the government, a soldier like us, or something else."
Sarah smiled, "But, until then, we have to see what Zakee is going to say."
Zakee opened his eyes and saw the white walls and bright lights of the Ebon Hawk's Med Bay. An intense headache quickly attacked his head, and he immediately rubbed it.
"Good to see that you're awake." Sarah was working at her desk on Zakee's medical charts. "You shouldn't move around too much either. The amount of chakra that you put into your last attack, Explosive Bite of the Ice Dragon, would've killed a normal ninja. You're lucky that you aren't dead."
Zakee sat up in the bed. He removed the oxygen tube that went to his nose and looked at Sarah. "Well," he said. "Looks like I can use it without dying now." Sarah didn't say anything back to that. She continued writing in Zakee's folder. "How did we get back on the ship," he asked?
She stopped writing and looked at him. "I used my Kadabra to teleport us back here. I've been using its move, Recover, to help your condition."
Zakee exhaled as he laid back down. "If you don't mind, there is a piece of paper in my pants pocket. Take it to whoever is flying the ship and tell him to go to the coordinates on it. The last two weeks on this planet have been hell."
Sarah got up and went to Zakee's clothes that were hanging in a closet. Digging through one of the pockets, she didn't find anything, so she searched the other. Inside, was a small piece of paper folded into a small square. She read out the red words on the paper to herself, "Sector: Sergonia, Planet: Solia – Coordinate: H4."
Sorry for the delay in posting a new chapter. My summer job has been demanding and honestly haven't felt a rush to post. I know that this fanfic has a lot of anime powers so it might be hard to keep up with, but it's always been something that I've daydreamed about. Like: how would something like that fit in today's world. Thanks for reading and more coming out soon!
