Recap:

And my so called exit plan….well… let’s just say it is still on its planning stage…

...so much for getting out of this one alive!

Place: Styx Base Camp (SBC),

Styx Institute, the Moon

Time: October 2nd, 2011------- 7:02 am

Andria’s POV

The sudden burst of relief is washed out as I am thrown off my feet by the explosion.

It is time I face the truth… I don’t deserve to be the leader. I have never been better than my teammates at anything. They can do fine on their own. Do they really need me?

I remember their words…

// “Remember, Andria. We are nothing without you. We will always need you.” Zak tells me.

“He is right, Dree. We need some woman power! Don’t care what Xavier says. YOU be the leader. We trust you.” Nick adds with a smile.

“And even under all that anger, we know that Xavier believes in you too!” Zak pats me on the back.

“C’mon, Dree!” Nick gently punches me on the arm. //

I shake out of the flashback. They are right! They need me.

To heal. Zak, Nick and Xavier. One of them has been shot. I need to be there!

I need to be there!

Desperate times, call for desperate measures!

If I am going to need to use BODY powers to get out of this one alive, I am going to have to use them in a way that no one will notice. These monsters can usually sense it when BODY powers are being used because they are mostly used to have MIND powers around them on this planet. However, the plasma has dulled their senses for a while. This is my chance.

However, there is no point to this if my powers don’t work. I have used all of my energy on my telekinesis. If I am to pull this off, I am putting myself in danger. There is only one way. I have to turn off my natural instincts to self-heal to use that power. But that is a big danger in itself. I don’t know how much my body has had a need to healing up till now. Surely, the explosion should have had a much greater impact on me since it was closest to me. If I feel so much in pain right now, I only have to pray that I don’t faint or worse, die, my turning them off. But this is going to be risk I am going to have to take.

Please powers, work with me for once! I have never been able to control Water until now. I barely learned how to swim in the past month. In the telekinesis, at least I had a sufficient amount of energy. But now, I don’t even have that to back me up.

I only have my will-power to help me now. That alone will have to do for now.

The only way I am going to get out of this alive is by using everything to my advantage!

I tilt over to the left as I fly off the small pipe, using the blow to push me towards my destination.

I close my eyes and call on all the power I muster up. I feel my whole body feel as free and graceful as water. My hands start to moisten. Okay. Here goes…

Water is known as the most “flexible” of the powers because it can do many things. Water can be used in the form of a tidal wave, a shard of ice or in this case… a bubble.

I form the invisible bubble just in time. Okay now I have to move fast enough to make this seem like teleportation. I know my bubble won’t stay for much time. The fact that it formed at all is a surprise in itself. I use the momentum of the fall and the thrust of the explosion to veer over to the place the platform once was. The door we came from is closed, but there is still a ledge there underneath it. If only I can get there…

Just as I am about to get to the ledge, I feel my bubble evaporating. But, why? And then it hits me. I am way too close to the plasma. It is eating away at everything in the room… including my bubble. Almost there…and it pops.



Suddenly not able to control my fall I start falling downwards. I steer myself to the left just in time to grab onto the ledge.

My hand screams out in pain. I feel like it’s going to come completely out of its socket. I have never been into exercising in school and not even close to weight lifting. Only the thought of my friends keeps me going. I have to do this… for them!

I pull my other hand onto the ledge. No matter how hard I try, I know I am not going to be able to lift myself up. I have to let go.

My hand starts to slip. And I let go…

                                               ---------------------------xxx---------------------------------

Nick’s POV

“Zak!” I yell as I point over to the falling body over the platform over our heads. There in front of my eyes I see Dree let go of the ledge connected to the platform. How the hell did she get there??

If we don’t do something, the fall will paralyze her at the least. I could help her with a burst of air… but I don’t think I have enough energy.

Suddenly Zak grabs hold of my hand. He looks at me with determination in his eyes and nods. I suddenly feel new energy surging through my body. Zak is somehow transferring his energy to me.

I quickly summon all of this energy and create a cloud of air underneath Dree just as she is about to touch the platform. She lands with a thud. I collapse along with Zak onto the floor. I feel myself shaking with the loss of energy. I am sure Zak feels even more drained. If we don’t get some help soon, we are going to die for sure.

Andria comes over to us, barely being able to move. If I thought I was beaten up, Dree is twice as bad. He face shows pain and hurt but her eyes still have determination. She looks at Xavier with pain. I follow her glance and feel the same. Xavier’s face is expressionless. The face he had of pain is gone. Now, it shows nothing.

“He’s… alive.” Zak says. “For…now…” he looks over at Andria with a what looks like a pained smile. “You proved yourself…Andria.”

Dree doesn’t reply and heads over to Xavier. She gently touches his wound and blue light starts moving from her to him. She is … healing him.

I hear Zak faint beside me…Andria heads over to him and puts a hand on him and does the same. Suddenly I feel the exhaustion hit me and I start feeling dizzy…I am suddenly facing the ceiling and then… everything goes black.
