The Dreamers

33: The Revolt

"What the hell..." Pyro looks around at all of the angry humans banging on his tall windows.

"What is going on?!" Leilani held onto Varrick and Antonio.

"The masked man mentioned something about getting you to join their force. I think they believe you are on their side."

Pyro sighed and covered his face with his hand, "What a pain."
He looked around at all the people. They looked fierce and determined. It was only a matter of time before they would find a way to get in.

He pressed a button on the control panel that closed the windows so you couldn't see them.

"Stay put," Pyro ran downstairs to the basement. He grabbed the Dreamer Colt and ran back upstairs.

The Dreamer Colt is a gun filled with bullets made from Pyro's dream energy. The bullets cause serious damage compared to any old gun.

He put it in his pocket and ran back upstairs.

"You two! To the garage!" He grabbed his keys as they darted to the garage.

He got on his motorcycle as the other two got on with him.

"Both of you hold on!" He stepped on the gas pedal as the doors to the garage opened. He sped out as the people saw his motorcycle dart down the road.

"After him!" The people yelled.

Serena woke up in her hotel room. She looked around, and Pyro wasn't there. She put her face in her hands, still fixated on his face.

She's known him since she could remember, but she's always stuck around because she can't resist how in love he makes her feel.

She got up and brushed her hair, giving it that fluffy, wavy look she always had. She put on a black, strapless dress that reached the upper part of her thigh. She put a big, black bow in her hair to match after applying some makeup.

She looked at herself in the mirror. She didn't feel good at all, but she might as well look good doing it. Suddenly she got a call on her phone. It was Mira.

"Yes, Mira?"

"Get here now!"

"Why? I don't feel like it."

"Pyro just showed up with his two kids and said the people tried to get in his house. They are now on their way to dream HQ!"

He eyes widened as she looked at her shocked expression in the mirror, "I'll be there in 5."

She ran out the door and got in a taxi.

"Where to, madam?"

"Dream HQ, please." She bounced a leg up and down as the man drove nonchalantly.

"Are you going there for the revolt?" The taxi driver asked as he turned at the light.

"The revolt?"

"You know, the city is revolting against the Dreamers and are planning to break in and destroy Dreamer HQ."

Her eyes widened as her breath shuddered.

He pulled into the curb.

"Okay, that will be -"

She threw a wad of cash at him as she ran out of the car.

"Keep the change!" She ran inside the dream HQ as the other Dreamers closed the doors.

The lobby was empty, except for the brothers, Mira, Mateo, Ariel, and Pyro and his two kids.

"Oh my god! They are planning on ransacking Dreamer HQ?!" She panicked. Mira patted her back gently as Serena collected her thoughts.

"Yes," Giddion tapped on his phone, "I've let every other Dreamer know to stay home."

"Where's the boss?" Ariel said as she crossed her arms.

"He locked himself in his office. None of us can get to him." Mira sighed.

The nine of them looked at each other. A feeling of suspicion arised.

"What if.... the masked man is one of us?" Ariel looked at everyone.

"Well then, it would most likely be you, Ariel." Mateo answered.

"What." Her voice was snippy.

"Oh, don't give that! That time you ditched us and didn't tell us where you were going!"

"I had to see my therapist! SORRY, I DONT WANT THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWING I NEED THERAPY!"

"Ariel, calm down," Giddion stroked his girlfriend's hair as he looked at Pyro, "To be honest, it's probably you."

Pyro chuckled, letting go of Leilani's hand, "That's rich."

"Oh, come on, Pyro! You are the only one here powerful enough to steal our Dreamer energy! Plus, you are pissed with the boss, and from what I assume, you're mad at us."

Pyro nodded, "Fair, but last time I checked. I have better things to do than mettle with ridiculous scwabbles like a revolution." He replied unseriously.

Giddion's veins buldged out as his eyes intensed. Damion held onto his brother's shoulder.

"Antonio has spent all his time at the house, It couldn't be him!" Leilani testified.

"She's not lying," Varrick agreed, "He has no malicious intent in this revolution."

Serena nodded as Damion looked at her softly. She avoided eye contact with him and pretended like he wasn't even there. Her dress was gorgeous. It was a deep black that showed off her desirable and perfect body. Her hair and bow kept her youthful aura, and her makeup wasn't too much or too little. But he felt insane guilt come over him as he saw the patch on her face where he slapped her.

He was going to apologize, but not right now. It wasn't a good time.

Varrick spoke up, "Me and Pyro were talking, and we believe that a dreamer who may have claimed to have left the city did not. They seem to either be helping the humans as revenge to the company or for their own malicious intent beyond the city."

Everyone's eyes widened, "And who the hell are you?" Giddion asked in a grovely voice.

"Varrick Pyro." Pyro looked at him, surprised for using his last name.

"Okay then..." Ariel replied.

Just then, they heard the loud banging on the doors and windows. The people were here. The nine of them looked at the windows being surrounded by people. The crowd was huge. At least 50-ish people. The stronger people of the city who the Masked Man probably got to stick this mission.

"Oh... my.... god." Mira's voice shook. They all prepared their Dreamer energy. Particles swirled around their hands as the banging and coherent yelling got louder. Just then, they all stopped as a human kicked the door down. There were way too many of them to fight.

"EVERYBODY RUN!!"
