Isaac told the others to run while he, Caiden and Raven held them off. Ivy said that she should stay but Isaac told her that at least one of the original five had to stay with the others.

"But—" Ivy protested.

"We'll be fine, but you guys need to go" Isaac told her.

They looked back at the advancing army of their V-classmates, marching in unison.

"We will find you guys," Raven promised, "We will."

"Let's go," Ivy said to the others and they ran off.

Isaac, Caiden, and Raven turned back to the army.

"No killing just knocking out," Caiden told them.

"Wasn't planning to kill anybody human," Raven said.

"Just shut up and get ready," Isaac told her.

Their (former) classmates charged, armed with broken glass bottles, giant flashlights, sharpened pencils, and butter knives.

"What's with the pencils?" Isaac asked Caiden.

"They're weirdos, ignore it," Caiden told him.

They ran into the army and started punching and kicking at any available stomachs, heads or certain private parts. In minutes a little more than half of their classmates were limp.

"You know," Raven said, "It's really weird to have warm bodies lying on your shoes."

"Yeah, I know," Isaac answered while trying not to step on anybody as he shoved Ashley into a wall.

"How are we going to get them out of here?" Caiden asked.

"How should I know," Raven told him, "There's way too many of them to carry."

"Maybe each of us can lug two or three," Isaac suggested.

"Best idea we've got," Raven said.

"Sure," Caiden told them, "Better than nothing."

"Let's see if we can do it," Raven agreed.

They started tugging and pulling at the unconscious bodies. That's when Isaac actually counted them and found that there was still two of their friends missing, Louis and Lisa.

"Hey, guys," Isaac notified, "Louis and Lisa are still missing."

"What!" Raven said.

"God, we still have to look for more of them?" Caiden complained.

Suddenly, Isaac heard Raven utter an outcry. He looked over and Raven was down on her back, a glass dart that was half full of dark green fluid was in her neck, and Louis was standing over her holding a gun.

"Raven!" Isaac shouted as he ran up beside her.

Caiden ran to Isaac's side and grabbed Louis' arm, flipped him over his shoulder, then shoved him into a wall.

Raven's eyes opened but they were dark green instead of dark brown and a silver, milky substance was in the dart instead.

"What—" Caiden wondered as he looked back at her.

Suddenly, Raven grabbed Isaac's arm, flipped him over her shoulder, then grabbed the gun that was still in Louis' unconscious hand and shot Caiden in the back. Caiden cried out in alarm and pulled out the dart that was slowly draining the green substance into his skin and filling with a gold liquid.

"Caiden!" Isaac shouted.

Isaac took the dart from Caiden's hand and looked at the substance. It was quarter full with the green fluid and quarter full with the gold. Isaac looked at Raven and noticed that the dart in her neck was still there. He jumped over Caiden and grabbed the dart that was in Raven's neck, kicked her in the stomach, then snatched the gun and unloaded all of the green filled darts. Then he placed the silver filled dart into the slot and shot Raven in the leg. She crumpled.

"What happened?" Raven asked, slowly standing up.

"Wait," Isaac said as he loaded the gun once more with the dart from Caiden, then shot Caiden in the foot.

"God. . ." Caiden said as he pulled out the green filled dart (that had no trace of gold in it).

They all turned toward Louis. He was slowly standing up, shaking his head to ease the dizziness.

"What the. . ." he said, looking around, "What the heck just happened?"

"Well," Raven told him, "You and our other classmates were abducted by aliens, then they gave creep food that makes you evil, then Isaac, Caiden, Ivy, Kat, and I came to save you guys, then Kat disappeared, then—"

"I think he means in general," Isaac said.

"Yeah. . ." Louis said.

"Our mind controlled classmates just attacked us, we fought back. Then stuff happened," Raven said.

"Stuff?" Caiden asked.

"Yeah," Raven answered, "What's wrong with 'stuff'?"

"It's a very broad word, if you ask me."

"But I'm not asking you."

"Ugg."

"What?"

"You're too technical."

"But I like technicalities."

"I'm sorry to interrupt your extremely important conversation," Isaac said, "But we need to hurry up and go."

"Um, yeah," Louis agreed.

They turned around and started to drag their other classmates again.

After ten minutes of lugging, Isaac's arms felt like lead and his shoulders were on fire.

"Can we stop now?" Isaac asked, "My arms are dead."

"Meh," Raven said.

Suddenly, Isaac felt a small shock in his wrist.

"Ivy?" he answered.

"Yeah."

"What do you want?"

"Where are you guys?"

"Same place,"

"Don't go anywhere, we're coming."

"Sure."

He turned off his P.W and told the others that Ivy and everybody else was coming.

"Kay," Raven said, "Now I'm bored. Do you guys know how to snap?"

"Yeah," Louis said

"Cool."

Then they heard approaching footsteps.

"Hey guys," Ivy said.

The rest of their classmates all woke up at that point.

"Okay then," Isaac said, "Do you guys want to split up again?"

"Guess so," Terra piped up.

"Just putting this out there so I don't forget to tell you guys later," Raven said, "In the time that I was invisible I learned that the aliens eat humans," The rest of them looked at her like she was crazy.

"Are you sure?" Mike asked skeptically.

"Positive," Raven answered, "That includes babies."

"How about," Ivy said to break the tension, "Justin, Louis, and Mike. Sarah, Lucy, and Terra. Mason, Grant, Isaac and Liam. Liz, Jessie, and me. Aidan, Caleb, and Dave. Fred, Ernie, and Bill. Amanda, Barbara, and Christina. Dana, Ashley, and Hannah. George, Oliver, and James. And then the rest of you."

"We need to find Ms. Simpson and Lisa," Amanda said, "Let's hurry."

"Yeah," Isaac said, "Let's go

And off they went.
