Saving Our World

Chapter 12

*Maia's POV*

"Silver is your name?" I asked the child.

"Yes, don't you remember me Maia?" The child pouted. I tilted my head trying to remember the child, but nothing came to mind. I shook my head an sighed.

"Maia, instead of continuously asking for the child's name and trying to remember him, maybe you can ask him something useful," Lucky suggested. I turned and glared at her.

"I know what to do," I growled at her.

"If you say so," Lucky said before walking to the couch and sitting down. "Silver, why were you surprised to find out that your physical self as a child? Weren't you always a child? Are you saying that you shrunk or something?" She seemed to be having fun playing detective, but the kid seemed to be annoyed by all her questions.

"Well, old lady..." he said, and pointed, to Lucky.

"OLD???" she screeched. "Did you just call me OLD??"

"Well I was pointing to you," was his response. I burst out laughing and gave him a high five.

We chilled and talked for a while.

"So, you're telling me that you used to be Michael's power, but you got sent out?" I asked Silver. He nodded. "So..... why are you in my body?"

"Because young master Michael sent me here," he answered. "He said that after he grew stronger, he would extract me from your body." He saw Lucky and my disgusted expressions. "Oh, don't worry about the extracting thing. It doesn't harm you." Lucky and I sighed. "Where did you send the other girl?"

"Oh, she's in control of my body right now and she is probably dying at the party," I explained to him.

"I wanted to go..." Lucky began.

"But you would have ended up asking everyone to fight with you," I ended for her. There was a low rumble coming from Miranda.

"What's happening?" Lucky asked. The was another rumble.

"Emergency. I'll be right back," I left the two people staring at me in confusion. I swept up to the control part of my body.

"Miranda!" I gasped as I saw her on the ground of the control room (for the people inside me). I knelt down and picked her up. The was a weird splurge of energy seeping out of her.

"M-Ma-Mai-a," she gasped.

"Miranda!" Lucky and Silver ran into the room. They knelt down next to me, helping Miranda sit up.

"Th-there's tr-trouble *cough* outside *cough*!!" Miranda was breathing deeply. "He's here! He's trying to steal me! My energy!" Miranda began clawing at her face. Her body looked lighter than usual. "Maia!! Save me!!" She began to cry.

"Miranda, get out of control," I commanded her. She did as she was told. "Can you two take care of her while I check out what's happening?"

"It's better if you send me out," Lucky told me. "You're still not fully awakened, and it would a big risk for all of us if you got hurt. Keeping all of us here, it's already taking up a lot of energy." She was right. With Miranda down, I was weaker than I was before. "Let me go." She was about to take control when a Michael look-a-like took the controller out of her hand. (How to control Maia's body is like how to play a video game. Just to tell you if you don't understand.)

"You are also not a good choice," he said.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"Silver, of course," with that, he disappeared.
