Johnny slumped onto Eli's shoulder.
"Oh great, what's wrong with him?" Jean griped.
"His power is to store and release energy, he didn't have much stored." Eli responded.
"You're telling me those two lousy little shots depleted all his energy?"
"Hey! He was making sure they would stay down. Look at him, out like a light, heh."
"No offense, but that pun was worse than the threat of being murdered by those two. never say something like that again."
"GUYS!" Ruby screamed. "Pull this thing out of me!"
"Are you sure?" Eli asked. "It might be the only thing keeping the blood in. shouldn't we go find you some help?"
"NO! I'm not letting you leave. Just get it out."
Reluctantly, Eli, Lucy, and Jean grabbed onto the spear and pulled until Ruby stopped screaming and fell to the floor.
"You." She began coughing. "Need to find cover. My second power is about to activate. No time to explain."
Eli and Lucy grabbed Johnny and Jean grabbed Zen. They hid behind a large crate on the opposite side of where the two murderers were unconscious. The hangar began to shake violently. This continued for several minutes. When it stopped, Eli poked his head out and spotted Ruby standing in a pool of her blood. Her clothes were still torn where she had been stabbed, but there was no longer any hole in her. Ruby looked exactly like she did this morning.
"Could you explain what just happened?" Eli asked.
"Hey, maybe later." Jean interrupted. "Zen is still stabbed."
"I'm done for." Zen said bluntly as Jen set him on his side.
"Don't speak like that."
"It doesn't really matter."
"Yes it does, you're our friend Zen."
"I'm not going anywhere; I'll see you back at school. Just leave me here."
"WHAT?"
"My brain is back in town, remember? I have several more bodies. don't worry."
"Ruby, could you teleport us back?" Lucy asked.
"I can certainly try. I've never really tried to teleport far away, so we might only end up halfway, and it will probably take up a lot of energy." Ruby responded, rolling up her sleeves. "Everyone has to be touching my skin, so grab on."
Eli placed Johnny's hand onto Ruby, then grabbed on himself. Lucy and Jean followed suit. The five left Zen to bleed out as they disappeared in a cloud of pink smoke.
