The Fallen Rises, Original Storyline

Chapter 11 The newest Recruit/ A friend's Sacrifice

Jordan, Alina, and Glen entered a new planet called Volca a planet with many Volcanoes and lava rivers. Glen feels like he was in hell, and he doesn't like it. With no life in this planet, they had no choice but to stay here to protect earth. 

Bushin counts his members and Jordan's friends one by one. However, Axe looks around while stammering "Where's Lydia?" This caused everyone to wonder where she was, they thought they lost her, but Lucas pointed at her sitting on hot rocks watching boiling lava. 

Lucas sits down beside her, so she has someone to stay with. With one look at his own sister, Lucas discovers her blue flaring aura. When he hears her heavy breathing and sees the aura flowing quickly, he learns that her pain gets more intense the more she expresses her negative emotions. Desperately Lucas tries to help but ends up burning his hand instead. Lydia opens her eyes and the aura disappeared; she heard her brother scream in pain. 

Lydia then hugs Lucas to help undo its burning heat on his hand. She apologizes to him repeatedly while covering her face. She blamed herself for the actions she couldn't explain, but unlike Axe, Lucas forgives her easily. They seem to have a better brother-sister relationship than, Jordan's brotherhood with Apollo. Seeing them made Jordan feel jealous. Toby could relate to his feeling because ever since he's young his older brother abandoned him in the laboratory. So, they talk things out like buddies, Dusk interrupted them although they didn't mind and allows him to join. While each member has everyone to talk to Axe feels all alone just like in all the other years. 

Willow beside Sid talking looks at Axe feeling she wanted to help. So, she decides to talk to him. Axe looks at Willow as she talks through his problems. She maybe terrible at it but at least she's trying her best to help a friend out. 

She said to him "I know what it's like to... have... a friend who just leaves you without saying goodbye, I felt that way when my best friend got to Highlands Horizon. But it... d-doesn't mean you... have to h-hate her for leaving you" 

Axe sighs "It's not that it- Willow I know you're like the quite one on the group but thank you for your effort." 

Willow smiles and wrapped her arms on her knees and she said in reply "No one... likes goodbyes Axe, neither does... Lydia. For all the things she did that hurt you, at least understand what she's been through." 

Meanwhile with Lucas helps Lydia sort out her problems. Lydia puts on her helmet to hide the tears on her face, and she said "It's not that! okay. I left him! He'll never forgive me for that" 

"Why because he thinks you left without caring for him at all?" Lucas answered in a question. Lydia holds onto her helmet while moaning, then she said 

"I just- After our graduation I had to move on and start a new beginning, and that means moving to California, but then my mom died, so I ran away. 

Now and back then, I started to feel something I haven't felt since." Lucas looks at her in fear as the flare giving her more pain than it did. Lucas panics looking for water and accidentally spilling his water bottle on Lydia, as a result extinguishing the fire on her. Now he finally gets it and he said, "You care about him" Lydia asked again "What" then Lucas repeated the same sentence "You care about him." "You care about him so much that you wept when you chose to leave him cause mom wants to move to Canada" Lucas puts his hand on her shoulder and talks some sense to her replying calmly "Well sis sometimes when we make choices it hurts to decide which one, but nothing else hurts more than lying the ones we truly care for the most." When Casper passes the Gravity pendant to Toby. 

A strange, hooded thief took it and attempts to escape. Toby glitched her straight to him and grabs the pendant forcefully. Then he pins her against the wall and takes her hood off. And sees a face of a girl he knew since high school.
