Finding Jay

Why does Lloyd look so happy all of a sudden?!

" You!" Mia exclaimed, pointing to a mer-person. " Does the name Kalimar strike a memory?"

The mer-person gasped.

" Yeah, I know. I can't believe Bentho actually let you come here!"

" Mia....." Cole said from behind.

Mia ignored. " And you!" She pointed to a cyborg. " You were made by one of our friends who went bad! To help the Overlord!"

The cyborg looked at her, nervous. " How do you....."

Mia turned to a guy in a mech. " And you....." The guy looked familiar. So she slowly stepped back until Kai caught her.

She looked up, and Lord ho, who was it?

Jay.

She gasped, and shook Cole. " I'm not dreaming, am I?! Slap me, Cole."

Cole shook his head.

" Kai, you're the lucky one. Slap me. SLAP ME!"

Kai shook her. " Is that better?"

Mia nodded, then looked up in awe.

It really was Jay.

She squeeled. " Okay, everyone into position!"

" Position?!" Kai exclaimed. " Mia, there are agents here to destroy us!"

" But Jay's here. He would never-"

Mia was cut off when Jay shot bullets at them. Kai jumped on Mia, while Cole made a barrier.

Mia, who was helped up by Kai, growled. " Okay, that passes the line. Cole, make a jail for each agent."

" Does that include your brother?" Cole asked, smashing his hands together.

Mia gave him a steely look. " I said ALL."

Kai gulped. When Mia gave her answers in that type of voice, it meant she was going to do something VERY scary ( and something told him it was going to get messy).

Cole sighed and, using the earth, created rocks to wedge the agents in. They struggled to get out.

" Kai!" She ordered. " Create a fire wall."

Kai's eyes widened. " Fire wall?!" He exclaimed, his hands thrusted to the people. " But-"

" Did I stutter?" Mia barked.

Kai shook is head.

" Good."

This wasn't the sweet, playful Mia Kai knew. This was a fierce leader, hardened by the harsh realities of their world. He knew better than to disobey.

With a heavy heart, Kai raised his hands, summoning flames that danced at his fingertips. The air crackled with heat as the flames coalesced into a wall of fire, separating them from the captive agents, including Jay.

The chamber was now a tableau of tension: the trapped agents, the flickering flames, and Mia's steely resolve. The mystery of  Jay and the true purpose of the agents hung heavy in the air, demanding answers before the flames of suspicion consumed them all.

Cole ran to Kai and pulled him aside. " Is she okay? Does she have some problem with the brain?"

" No, she doesn't have any brain issues." Then he quickly added, " not that I know of."

" Because she wants to kill her own brother. Her brother!"

Kai blinked, then sighed. " Yeah, she has a tendency of saying stuff like that. But she never means it."
