The soldiers blindfolded us before taking us for a long ride in a truck. It seemed like we were riding for a few hours, but it was hard to tell since I could not see the time.
Then the truck stopped and the soldiers helped us out while we were still blindfolded.
I heard one of the soldiers said to the other one, "Put the parents with the others. I'll take the two young ones."
We were led up some stairs into I guessed was a building. We walked for a bit more.
"Toby, Judy, they got you, too," I heard a familiar voice cried.
When my blindfold was removed I saw Brian and Debra gazing at me. We were in a room with clean white walls.
Brian and Debra were like Judy and me also Zeron Warriors. Brian used his yellow Zeron Crystal to transform himself into a golden-hair girl in gold armor known as Gold Viper and Debra with her green Zeron Crystal became an emerald armor-clad warrior known as the Emerald Warrior.
Brian was dressed in tacky pajamas with red stripes and Debra was wearing leotards and a pink tutu.
"Wait here," the soldier instructed. "Please do not try to leave." He left, shutting the door behind him.
"So, how did they got you?" Judy asked Brian and Debra.
Brian shrugged. "I was at home chilling when the soldiers came knocking on my door. They didn't even give me time to get dressed. Heck, I was barely able to put on shoes."
"I was in the middle of my ballet lessons when those soldiers came in," Debra told us. "It was so embarrassing. I could have got frostbite from the stares I were getting."
Brian stared at her. "You take ballet?"
"My mom is making me take it," Debra moaned.
"But what did they do with our parents," Judy wanted to know.
"Not just our parents," Debra said, "but my two little brothers as well."
Brian explained, "When I was brought here I heard one of the soldiers said that they were taking the rest of the family to a separate room. That they only have a need for the unusual one."
"They know we're Zeron Warriors," I declared.
"How could they know?" Judy wanted to know.
"They're the Government," Brian said as though it was obvious. "You can't keep anything from the Government."
"So I guess Mrs. Stermin is the next to show up," Judy said. "I mean, she's a Zeron Warrior, too."
"I don't think so," Debra replied.
We all stared at her.
"I don't think they know about Mrs. Stirmin," Debra said. "She didn't get her Zeron Crystal till the last moment. Plus she was the only one smart enough not to transform in a public place. Especially since these days, there are cameras everywhere."
