Fallen Stars

Chapter 18:The Battle Is On

Alan-

Me and Anthony watch in horror as dozens of Nitave spaceships descend upon us. A cannon is activated on one of the ships, and a huge fireball barrels towards us.

I dive to the left, and Anthony to the right. The fireball misses us entirely, and instead destroyed the Television and a bookshelf. The two of us round a corner before another fireball could come speeding to us.

"We need to get to Emily and Dennis." I tell Anthony. He nods then takes out the object that turns us invisible. We become invisible, and head to Blake's bedroom where Dennis should be with Emily.

We arrive just in time to see a Nitave use a rope to swing inside the bedroom. Dennis is kneeling on the floor, wielding his SubMachine guns, beside him is Emily.

The Nitave draws his sword, and tries to decapitate Anthony, but Anthony ducks. The sword gets stuck into a wall. I pry the Nitave's hand from the sword, then I shove him outside the open space where the window once was.

Another Nitave swings inside the room, holding a mace. Dennis fires at him, sending bullets into the Nitave's chest-killing him.

I can hear more spaceships arriving. All of a sudden, a idea pops inside my head.

"Listen Emily, I have an idea." I tell her.

"What is it?" She asks, tears flowing down her cheeks.

"Go to the roof, and use your hands to destroy the Nitaves." I tell her. Anthony starts protesting, but I hush him up.

"Okay." Emily says, nodding."I'll do it."

"That's the spirit." I tell her."Anthony and Dennis-stay here, Emily-you're coming with me."

Me and Emily run to the living room. We head to the roof. I drop my weapons and raise my hands above my head, in surrender. There are at least fifty spaceships circling the penthouse.

"Aim your hands, and imagine how you felt when I got angry at you earlier." I tell her."Think about Everett, how he killed nearly the entire team. Let the rage flow, release it."

Emily aims her hands, and the dark red glow starts forming in her hands. There's a flash of red for a second, then each Nitave spaceship explodes into red dust. The Nitaves also explode into the same dust as the ships.

Yes! We did it, we destroyed our attackers.

Me and Emily embrace, then Anthony and Dennis arrive. Anthony hugs Emily when I pull away from her, and Dennis is smiling widely.

"You did it, kid." I tell Emily."You did it."

I stare at the crescent moon, maybe we can win this war.

'Good job, son.' Dad mentally tells me.

"Okay guys." I say."Let's leave before the cops show up."

We head back into the penthouse, and take the elevator down. When we arrive at the parking garage, he strides over to his Porsche.

"We should follow eachother in the cars." Anthony tells us."I'll take the Porsche, Dennis you're with me. Emily, you're with Alan."

I nod and Anthony tosses me car keys.

"Those are the keys to Blake's Mercedes." He tells me, pointing to a nearby black Mercedes." Take it."

I obey Anthony's orders, and I climb inside the Mercedes with Emily. Once Anthony starts driving, I start the car and follow him.

While at a long stoplight, I call him.
