Walkers vs. Red Nexus

Kelsey Cadieux, Walker #89790

Margrethe stood out of her chair. "Kelsey Cadieux?" she said.

Kelsey said, "Yes."

Jason said, "So you know about #28300's notes and time travel?"

"Of course," Kelsey replied. "My sister shared everything with me. Well, she used to, before she.." her voice trailed off.

Alexandria understood. She was trying to say "Before she disappeared."

Sandra stood up. "We understand your pain. But we need your help." She told Kelsey about the Red Nexus attack.

Kelsey nodded. "Lily had told me about her Red Nexus plan, but the blueprint wasn't complete.."

Jason interrupted, "Whoa. What blueprint are we talking about?"

Kelsey said, "Lily made this special blueprint for the both of us, if Red Nexus ever returned to Tjentiste to find us. As it occurred, Lily was abducted by Red Nexus once. She came back here one night, and told me to search for the blueprint. She told me I knew the way to complete it. But.. But I just couldn't. I've been thinking how to complete it since that day, but it's like a Rubik's Cube. I just can't solve this."

Margrethe said, "Maybe we could help you solve it?"

Alexandria nodded. "We could help you."

Kelsey shook her head. "I couldn't solve it for so many years, and you try now? It's impossible."

Sandra said. "It's worth a try. Show us the blueprint."

Kelsey opened an old drawer, and brought out a withered piece of paper. Inside was drawn an AV-8 and a RX-8, linked by a line. The line was incomplete with a blank in the middle.

"What connects an AV-8 and a RX-8?" Kelsey asked. 

"Maybe the number 8?" Jason said.

Kelsey said, "I tried writing eight in the blank, both the number and the word. Nothing happened."

Margrethe said, "Maybe their core is the same?"

Kelsey shook her head. "I tried all that. But nothing works!" 

"Wait," Alexandria said. "Do we know Walker #8?"

Everybody stared at her. 

"Why would the clue be a Walker?" asked Kelsey. "Lily specifically told me only I could solve it."

"Maybe we know this Walker." Alexandria simplified. "Walker #8 should be specifically a friend to Kelsey."

 "I don't know the person you are talking about." said Kelsey.

Margrethe said, "Alexandria may be right. Kelsey, try to remember the people you met in your life."

Kelsey started, "There was this person.."

She was interrupted by her AV-8, which chittered nervously. 

Kelsey stood. "There are RX-8s here." She announced. "We should pack our bags and run."

To be brief, they did exactly that.

As soon as they were finished packing essentials, they ran out to face a huge swarm of RX-8s. They ran in the direction of the monument. 

"Split up!" Kelsey shouted. "Margrethe, go with Alexandria! Jason, you with Sandra!"

"What about you?" Margrethe shouted back.

"I'll be fine!"

Margrethe took Alexandria's hand and they dived behind the monument. A second later, there came the sound of bullets.

Then they heard Kelsey's voice. "You want a fight?" she boomed. "Come here."

Her AV-8 popped through the sky, smashing several RX-8s to pieces. Kelsey ran in the front, a train of RX-8s following. She ran and ran, when suddenly she took out a rectangular thing and clicked a button. A blinding light came out of the hilt, and Kelsey flew through the RX-8s, killing each and every one of them.

Jason and Sandra took aim with their laser guns. Each shot took out one RX-8.

"That girl wields immense power in her hands," muttered Margrethe. "But she doesn't know it yet."

Kelsey was dancing with her saber in hand, deflecting each blast from the RX-8s. Her AV-8 had brought out its machine gun. The sound of shots peppered the air.

When the destruction was complete, Kelsey strode over to the others.

"That was brilliant!" beamed Alexandria. "What kind of weapon is that?"

"Lily gave this to me," admitted Kelsey. "She told me to use it whenever I was in danger. This was my first time."

Margrethe said, "We should go."

Kelsey nodded, and they started walking their way out of Tjentiste.

On the way, Jason asked Kelsey, "You were saying about a man?"

"Yes," Kelsey said. "He was an old man, but he knew us well. He told Lily he was a Walker, who mentioned it to me, but he didn't reveal his ID."

Margrethe looked stunned. "What did he look like?" she asked.

"White hair, a slightly wrinkled face." said Kelsey.

Margrethe gasped. "I know the person you are talking about." she said.

Alexandria said, "Who?"

Margrethe said, "From the Walker Excavations. He's the person who helped #28300 escape Red Nexus, and he was the founder of the White Walkers."

"Founder.." said Sandra. "His ID must be really low then. It could be #8."

Jason sighed. "Let's find out."
