Everyone was in shock, that was it, Andrea's secret was finally revealed to two of her closest friends. They both stared at Andrea in shock, while she looked over to the haunted armor which was still glitching. While the teacher was trying to free her clothing from the bookcase, which gave them some slight time. She knew that they needed an explanation, even if they had to go back into battle soon. "That's my last name, surprise," Andrea said in a flat tone, slightly looking at them. She would have stared at Finch yet he was just trying to help Andrea, however was still mad at him. Asher and Ryker both couldn't believe that their best friend was the only Farm living. All of her family has died and the chances of meeting the last one left was rare, they were in that little chance.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Asher asked, she was filled with embarrassment because she didn't have the courage to tell them. "I was afraid of being judged, afraid of all the questions" Andrea admitted. Knowing that was the only thing she was worried about. Whenever people would ask her questions about her past it hurt. The memory would always come back into her head when her parents died. They were continuously watching over the teacher and the haunted armor, and they still had time. "Well, I think it's pretty awesome. You're a Farm!" Ryker said, which just made her chuckle. She was just really happy they weren't asking her any questions that would make her uncomfortable. "My parents would work with them, they were really nice," Asher said.
Andrea just smiled, happy that his parents knew hers. She was hoping to meet them one day and maybe get to know her parents better. "I'm happy they knew each other," Andrea said. They didn't want to go into much detail because they would have to battle again soon. Andrea was breathing really fast, she was getting exhausted using her powers. The boys saw and looked at her with worry. "Are you alright?" Ryker said, knowing she was putting in a lot of energy, even Finch saw she wasn't acting like herself. Finch said he did agree and saw she wasn't in the best state. Even though they knew Andrea had to keep on fighting and some point, her energy would run out. "I'm fine, just have to hold on," Andrea said, since being a defender isn't and will never be an easy task.
"Andrea-" Asher started to say, which was soon interrupted. The last piece of the haunted armor was back in action and the teacher, Ms. Whallington was freed. "No time! Keep Finch safe" Andrea said. She was running back to the haunted armor, shooting as she went. She was able to do some mini energy balls which is a power she had just come up with. Finch was watching her in action and was surprised she has improved so much. Nearly as if he was seeing his baby girl grow up. Dodging all the attacks with ease, some being more difficult than others and nearly got hit many times. She was worried for herself if she would get hit soon, even with powers she wasn't sure what might happen. She was sending out energy waves just to make the haunted armor weaker and was helping Andrea significantly.
Even though she knew that simple energy waves weren't going to help her defeat the haunted armor anytime soon. Anything she could get out of it would just make the progress faster. With her knowing she would still need to defeat the teacher with the little energy she had left. "Aim for the center, it has a weak spot!" Finch yelled, her just nodding and dodging once again. While she ducked and rolled she was able to make a big enough energy ball and shoot it directly at the center. It was slightly glitching, making Andrea think at first she was able to destroy it. However she was far from right. Andrea could tell it did serious damage however it still wasn't enough to destroy the armor completely. "When will this end" Andrea groaned, just running away once again to dodge.
She was trying with all of her might, dodging any attacks, and with any free time she would make the best of it. At some points she thought it was over until it came back into action once again. Running away and shooting many strong energy balls. The energy balls became faster to make and easier to aim. "Think you can beat me fool" The haunted armor said, even though there was no body attached. Meaning it could talk no matter what occasion, the voice sounded familiar to Andrea. As if she had heard it years ago yet so young she had a faded memory of it. She decided not to worry about where she heard it and continued attacking. Which was the most important thing she could be doing at the moment. While she was attacking the boys were also trying to fight off the teacher.
