Fallen Stars

Chapter 75:The Soldiers

Alan-

When we arrive at the mansion, we see Mack waiting outside.

"The Shiners decided to not help." Mack says, sadly.

"Wait!" A man yells, rushing over to us. He has dozens of other people behind him."We changed our minds. We decide to fight. This isn't all of us, there are millions more of us in the Shiner Dimension. Let us know when Sharkutt launches a full-scale assualt with all of his soldiers and we will be ready. I can directly open a Portal, just like Anthony could. It will be easy bringing the Shiners to the final battle in the war."

The man appears to be in his late twenties with jet black hair and dark brown eyes. He's also tall with a muscular build and he has a long scar on his neck.

"I am Haven York, Great King," The man says to me, kneeling down in front of me. Then he rises to his feet and worry spreads across his face."My daughter was placed into a hospital, because my ex-wife-her mother-slit her throat."

"Is she okay?" I ask, shocked.

"She's fine, but her mother is making sure she does not leave the hospital. The mother works for the Nitaves. She is a Government agent and got one of her arms sliced off by Josh, but Sharkutt returned her body back to normal with an artifact. Now she has her arm back. Anyways, we need her out of the hospital," Haven explains to us."We could easily get the job done ourselves, but I wanted the King to decide on what we should do."

Everyone around me-including Havens army-stares at me, while I decide on what to do.

"Hell yeah!" I exclaim."We'll rescue Haven's daughter and destroy every Nitave base, picking Sharkutt's mansion as the last place to destroy."

"I must warn you, Great King. Sharkutt has built a city around his mansion, it will be extremely difficult getting to the mansion. It's also in Australia, along with the Nitave bases that aren't abandoned. Many of us will die getting to it." Haven tells me.

"Hopefully, none of us will die," I tell him."Now let's get your daughter. What's your daughter's name?"

"Hanzie." He replies. A few minutes later, Jahan teleports me and Haven to the hospital where Hanzie is being held. It's only a few miles away from the Canadian border, which is a far distance from the house.

Jahan aids us in retrieving Hanzie, because he plans on teleporting us away if any Nitaves attack. The three of us enter the hospital and walk over to a desk with an middle-aged woman behind it.

"We're visiting a patient named Hanzie York." Haven tells the woman. While Haven is attempting on getting us to Hanzie's room, I study the people in the waiting room. Near the vending machine is a familiar ginger-haired boy with a big nose-Varstle. I thought he was killed in the explosion at the Nitave base in Washington so many months ago. I thought he was dead.

Varstle appears uninjured, he obviously isn't the one who needs medical attention. Beside him is a fidgeting, nervous, young teenaged boy. The boy is much shorter than me with dark hair and brown eyes. They are obviously up to something, but I ignore it.

"Alright, let's go get my daughter." Haven says suddenly. I shift my attention back on him, him and Jahan are dashing away from me. Two security guards chase after them. Varstle and his companion walk over to the desk, then the companion begins arming a bomb.

The people inside start to scream and panic. The police are called by one of the hospital staff and Varstle escapes, leaving behind his companion. Varstle's companion sprints after him, so I stick out one of my feet and he trips. Varstle arrives back into the hospital, carrying two swords and he enters thhe gaping hole in the wall.

While Varstle is gone, I question his partner.

"What's your name and what is Varstle doing?" I ask.

"My name is Frad, Varstle is bringing back one of our injured Shiner teammates back to Sharkutt. He's going to kill her for trying to get out of the army," The boy explains, a tear escaping one of his eyes."Please don't kill me."

"I'm not going to kill you," I tell him. I create a white ball of light and turn it into a solid. Then I slam it into his head, causing him to pass out."But you are going to come with me."

Varstle is flung outside the hole he entered. When he slides on his back to my feet, I see that he has a gash on his forehead. A teenaged girl in a hospital gown emerges from the hole. She's short and looks terrified.

Varste rushes to the girl and swiftly decapitates her with a sword, before I could even do anything. He licks the blood and sighs in pleasure.

"You monster!" I shout at him, dashing over and producing a ball of light. I form the light into a solid sword, then engage in a sword fight with Varstle. We battle for a few seconds, then we reach an elevator. Varstle punches me in the chest and I fall on the floor. He raises his sword and he's about to impale me, when the elevator opens.

A gun blast sounds throughout the area and Varstle is shot in the arm, then he swiftly scurries away. A teenaged male with short, dark brown hair and dark eyes, emerges from the elevator. He's tall, only a few inches shorter than me. In his right hand, is a pistol.

"We don't have much time, the last battles of this war starts now," He says, urgently."Gather your army and let's finish this."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The boy and I stand outside the hospital, waiting for Haven to arrive with his daughter and Jahan.

"Where the hell are they?" The boy asks, impatiently."They better hurry up, I don't have all day."

"What's your name?" I ask him. He turns to face me with an irritated look on his face.

"Doesn't matter," He replies."Just shut your mouth and let's focus."

I produce a fireball in my right hand."Do you have any idea who I am?"

"I know exactly who you are, king," He says, with extreme anger in his voice."But just shut the hell up, already."

I'm about to insult him, but that's when Haven, Jahan, and a teenaged girl with jet black hair appears.

"Hanzie, this is Alan. He is the Great Shiner King," Haven says to the girl, when the three of them reach us. Then he turns to the rude boy."And who are you?"

"Just mind your own business," The boy replies."Just call me Zero, it's what I prefer. I'm a nobody anyways, right? Now let's get the hell out of here."

"Haven, we still have plently of other stuff to do. We still have to destroy the Nitave bases, and-" I begin to say, but Haven interrupts me.

"I already took care of that. I sent my best Shiner troops to Australia. I was told that they destroyed each Nitave base, except for Sharkutt's mansion," Haven explains to me."I called the millions of Shiners in the Shiner Dimension, they're already in Australia. They're waiting for us, let's not keep them waiting. We're going to go back to the house, gather up your friends, then end this war."

We're about to leave when a gunshot is heard. A bullet enters Hanzie's head and she collapses on the ground, then dies after a few seconds. I tried to heal her, but that's when a Nitave tackled me to the ground. I ignite, turning the Nitave into a pile of ash. I see a black-haired woman aiming a gun at Hanzie's headless body. Somehow I know that the woman is Hanzie's mother. It's shocking to me that she just murdered her own daughter.

Frad emerges from the hospital, I completely forgotten about him. Two Nitaves charge at me. One of them uses a device on me that extinguishes my flames.

"Dammit!" I shout, enraged. Frad rushes over and disarms a Nitave of his ray gun. Frad spins around and presses the trigger on the ray gun, while Jahan fights the unarmed Nitave. The laser from the ray gun kills the Nitave with the flame-eliminating device.

I produce a fireball and kill the second Nitave, then I use another fireball to kill Hanzie's mother. Dozens of more Nitaves arrive and that's when Jahan teleports us to safety. We reappear inside the living room of the mansion.

"Time for the final battle to begin." I say.
