Iera wanted to move back out. Lee kept shouting out to her not to. "You're too injured Iera! I'm not letting you die!". His ammo started running short. Iera knew he couldn't defeat the remaining soldiers on his own. Just as another man got close to her position, she struck him down but another bullet pierced her armour hurting her side very badly.
"Iera! Get back in there!" Hester screamed. Lee was suddenly grazed across the head.
"Lee!" Iera roared. She charged again at the soldiers but her armour was no longer impenetrable. Lee came into the open again and took the men down whilst Iera got back behind shelter but a blast! A bullet pierced his collar.
"Lee, the cloud pine," a weak Hester remembered.
The wounded Lee pulled it out from his pocket. "I begged Serafina. Come help us," he rubbed it.

Will was taking a look out for Spectres on a cliff. (Y/N) was in the air making sure there were no angels nearby. Nearby, the witches were feeding Lyra and (M/C) when Serafina's eyes opened in alarm as if she had been stung by a bee. Lyra and (M/C) were drawn to her gasps. "What is Miss Pekala?" The latter asked. Roger trumpeted.
"He's in trouble,".
"Who?" Lyra asked, her heart hammering in her chest.
"Lee?".
Lyra gasped. She tried to turn around but Serafina grabbed her. "We have to tell (Y/N),".
"If we tell her, she will fly off and get killed. You all go on to find Will's father. I will save Lee," Serafina shot off. Lyra was shaken.
"Hey. It's gonna be alright," (M/C) held her. "She's gonna save him,".
"What's going on?" (Y/N) flew back down to them, Will rushing over too.
"Serafina sensed Leia in danger," Lyra lied. "She's gone to save her. She wants us to continue,".
"Let's hope Leia's alright," Will prayed.
(Y/N) was too smart. "You're hiding something,".
Lyra knew exactly what she needed to cover up her lie. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a photo. (Y/N) took it from her offered hands. She saw it was herself and her parents. "Where did you...".
"That Zeppelin, we saw was your mother's. It crash-landed here. I'm so sorry I didn't say this before. Everything was happening so quickly and with what was happening to you, I just..."
(Y/N) hugged her. She hugged her back as she cried. "It's okay," she kept her warm. "It's okay,".

The golden angels descended from the sky landing on a hilltop and turning into beings wearing grey cloaks. They saw a sphere of strange material of blue, orange and black. "What is this?" an angel screeched.
"A weapon that can be used against you," sneered a voice. Arthur leapt out of the bushes and swiped his sword, taking them both out.
There are more to take of. Danal raised her trunk and saw more golden angels appear. They had to keep them away from the mountain before they could find who they had been searching for.

"Lee!" Iera tried to get to him but the last soldier had too many bullets. Just then...a black blur appeared from behind and pierced his back. He fell dead. "Serafina Pekala," she breathed.
