Warriors of Legend: The Path of Betrayal

25. Him!?!

A.J's POV

Sheesh. He is working for them. Until now, I thought it was Elvin, since I never looked straight into his eye, I never knew. But him? I never would have thought he was the traitor. He walks by my cell everyday, surrounded by Magrons. As time goes by, the Magrons are slowly looking like regular people instead of the Magrons I remember. Weird. And I thought my home was weird. These Magrons are a lot kinder than the ones I remember. They don't seem so intent on harming me. Just holding me captive. Sometimes I meet powered people who turned to the Magrons. This place is more comfortable. I wonder if I really need to escape here...

Brian's POV

Ben. He's alive. How?  I know I killed him. He has to be dead. And this stuff about him being revived in a metal body. That's strange too. Only A.J has that power and A.J is in the Magron Fortress. I have to think about this.

I leap away from Ben's metal body. Where I land, the ground turns to quicksand. Since I am not use to my phasing powers, it takes a few minutes to use. A pair of glowing purple handcuffs appear out of nowhere. They wrap around my wrists and tighten.

"They'll only get tighter if you struggle." Alicia says. Right behind her is Andrew with his eyes closed and hands in front of him.

I concentrate too. Lightning is easy, even though I am half panicked. I hate quicksand. A thunderstorm rages above head. Lightning flashes. A bolt of lightning separates from the storm and flashes toward Alicia. When I can see again, Alicia is still there along with Andy. Ben is floating fight above them. I silently curse myself. Of course, metal is a conducted of lightning so the bolt hit him not the others. I start swinging my arms around. I gasp in pain as the cuffs tighten around my wrists and cut into my skin.

"Alicia is getting a lot meaner." I mutter.

"I heard that." She yells.

I hold my hand-cuffed hands above my head. "I give. Just get me out of here." I shout.

Alicia glances behind her. In the shadows, a head nods. She looks back at me and raises her hands. The cuffs drag me out of the quicksand and a small glowing cage forms around me. I sit back. The cage floats toward her.

"Shadow, we're done. He will be taken back to base and interrogated." She says.

Shadow?, I think. So... All my brothers are in on this too? How fun.

Back at my temporary base, two people rise, draw their katana-like swords, and race to where I am being held captive.
