Looking for a Hero

27. Lost a Hero: Part 8

Reena watched as he literally leaped into a hoard of aliens. There was no question he was being captured at that moment.

She took a deep breath and looked at her surroundings.

Now that she knew her teammates were on the ship with her. She had a reason to keep fighting back.

Missy sat back down with a sob. She lost both her parents now, but it was the recent betrayal of her father's trust that stung the most. He was supposed to put her first, their family first, and now she gonna be alone.

The news footage cut out and the news anchors brought the President on.

"People of America as you have witnessed, the Heroics have been captured. Military forces are stepping in, mobilizing to bring our heroes back. But while it looks rather helpless... it's bad, it's hopefully bad," the President flubbed.

"How did this guy get to be President? He can't even put two sentences together!" Facemaker said incredulously.

"We have just received a message from the supreme commander of the aliens that has been decoded. It reads, 'We are from the planet Ogima. Unfortunately, we have no choice but to prepare you for takeover. Please comply, or else Earth will be destroyed. You have three hours.' I'm afraid that was the entire message," the President spoke sadly, "There are no heroes left. God save us all."

His footage needed.

Granada flashed on their TV.

"Children, for your safety, we're going into full lockdown. No one leave your seat. As long as you stay where you are, you are all safe."

The monitor rose back up into the ceiling.

"Yeah, right. They can't protect us from that. We just saw it," scoffed Noodles.

"You got a better idea?" Wildcard asked.

"We should probably do what Granada says," Guppy said sadly.

"Um, pardon me, but-," Missy tried.

"That last look on my dad's face will haunt me forever," Facemaker said and crunched his face up.

"What do they want from us?" A Capella asked.

"Do you think our parents are okay?" Rewind asked.

"Um, excuse me?" Missy spoke up.

"What?" Wildcard asked kinda in a bored and annoyed tone.

"We need to leave this room. Right now," Missy stood up.

"Why?" Guppy asked.

"Because the aliens know where we are, and they're coming for us next," Missy explained.

Facemaker screwed his face up at that.

"How could you possible know that?" scoffed Wildcard.

Missy walked directly to Ojo.

"Can I borrow this for a minute?"

Ojo gave her the tablet, and she walked to the center of the room.

"Ojo drew these," Missy showed them all, "Facemaker standing on top of the floating chairs, Noodles smashing the exercise ball-."

"She draws what she sees. Big deal," Wildcard interrupted.

"She drew these things five minutes before they happened," Missy flipped through the tablet photos, "Ojo's superpower isn't that she can draw, she can draw the future."

"Okay, cool. Good for Ojo. What's your point?" Wildcard asked coolly.

"She also drew these alien creatures breaking into this very room," Missy showed them the image.
