Fallen Stars

Chapter 23:First Assault

Alan-

I nervously scan the plane's cabin for Nitaves. When I find my seat, I still observe everyone boarding.

"You should stop staring, Alan." Emily tells me."Before people think you're wierd."

I nod, then focus on what's outside the plane-watching the ground crew work.

Me and Emily are on a plane headed to Michigan. For some reason my dad insisted that me and Emily take a plane, while everyone else flew there with a Nitave jet.

"I'm nervous." She tells me."You know, having to fight again. And my dad is Mersidion, which sucks."

"Yeah, I heard our friends are going to be there." I tell her. Not wanting to say anything wierd, that will cause Humans to give us wierd looks.

She nods.

I stare at the moon, while waiting for the plane to takeoff. After a few minutes, the plane begins to ascend.

One hour into the flight, I fall asleep. The dream is regular and doesn't involve blood or gore.

I wake up to a loud 'boom'. Emily is clinging to me, and the other passengers are screaming in terror. Through the window, are missiles being fired from large hundreds of feet long Nitave spaceships.

"Emily, stop bring a scared little girl." I tell her."You are strong, and I need you to destroy those spaceships." I point to the five Nitave spaceships.

She nods, and deflects a missile with Telekinesis. The missile explodes part of a spaceship, but doesn't do much damage.

"Use your Destroyer of Legions power!" I yell, staring at a burning wing of the plane.

Her hands glow the familiar dark red color,then a flash a red blinds me for a second. All five spaceships are destroyed, forming into red dust.

Then the plane tilts downward, going into a nosedive. Emily uses her Telekinesis to land us safely in a field. The Humans quickly exit the plane, confused and shocked about what just happened.

Me and Emily are about to leave, when Everett steps inside the plane-accompanied by ten heavily armed Nitave warriors.

"Listen to me, Everett." I begin, as he slowly walks towards us."The Nitaves have done something to you, I can help."

He completely ignores me as he focus his gaze on Emily.

"Due to your siding with the enemy, Emily." He says, smirking."Your father ordered me to kill you."

I move closer to Emily, guarding her.

Everett transforms his body into metal, and spikes grow from his palms. Seeing the situation hopeless, I sigh.

"If you're going to kill us Everett, just let me and Emily say our goodbyes to eachother." I tell him.

"Very well." He says, but for a second I see a flash of sympathy on his face, then it changes into a vicious stare.

I turn to Emily, and she follows suit. I kneel down and we wrap our arms around eachother.

"It's been nice knowing you." I whisper to her."You are a great friend."

"Same here." She tells me."Thanks for everything."

We break the hug, then I stand-turning to face Everett. I glare at him, but he doesn't return it. Instead he has tears forming in his eyes.

"They killed my mom." He says, clenching his fists."They made me train, making me think killing Shiners was right, but now I'm going to get my revenge. The base is near this field, in the direction the Moon is in. Your best entrance will be the sewers, so go, now!"
