"No time to ask!" Lars exclaimed as Fleur quickly started the car and started driving away from the station. They then pushed the items they took towards the back of the car which was then pushed towards the trunk connected to the back seats. 

"No! We have the right to know!"Alva stated angrily as Lars ran his hand through his hair in frustration and pain. Fleur looked through the side window to see creatures destroying the door and proceeding on running towards the car the seven children were in.

"What are they?" Eamon asked confused and scared as the robots got faster in speed almost matching theirs. 

"No time to explain. Wake Rhys up we need him." Fleur ordered as Alva gently shook Rhys out of his sleep.

"Nghh... five more minutes." Rhys moaned in agony 

"Lars is hurt." Fleur stated as Rhys looked as if he was awake and ready to go, Alva guided him towards the front seat and Rhys sat on Lars' lap. He then looked at the wound on his older brother's knee and started running his fingers against it. The gap that the gun made was starting to disappear slowly but surely. 

Once it was fully healed, Rhys fainted and went back to sleep, Lars smiled and thanked him before kissing him on the forehead before giving him back to Alva. 

"Know how to get rid of the bigger problem?" Quinn asked as he kept looking back to see the robots just a few meters within their reach. 

"I have an idea. But we need to get closer." Eamon answered as Quinn looked as if he's lost his mind. But when Eamon gave him a knowing look he nodded, pumped.

"Are you crazy?!" Lars asked angrily 

"Let's do it." Quinn agreed as if they just had a telepathic conversation with each other.

"Do what?" Alva asked confused as Fleur looked at the twins with a smile before starting to slow down.

"Wait, you're actually going with their plan?!" Lars asked shocked as the twins got ready, they took the rabbit and rolled the window down.

"Here's an interesting theory, if the robots were walking in the straight line wouldn't it mean they were just following orders? No one walks in such a straight line they do." Eamon stated as he tinkered with the rabbit quickly.

"Which means those ten aliens following us now are just the pawns." Quinn continued

"And that would mean they are the weakest out of the whole entire alien army." Eamon finished as he passed the rabbit to his twin who then proceeded on pressing the red button and waited for a few seconds before throwing it to the robots. 

"Now drive!" The twins shouted together and Fleur stepped on the pedal making the car drive faster and away from what was about to happen.

"Three." 

"Two."

"One."

Right after that, a small 'boom' sound was heard as if something was devouring another thing up, like what black holes do. Except there was nothing left of of the robots. It was as if they had disappeared.

"It worked! We obliterated them!" Eamon high five his twin before giving Lars an amused smirk.

"Smart thinking." Alva praised as the twins smiled at the compliment. 

"So... where do we go now?" Quinn asked as Fleur kept her eye on the road while the other siblings lowered their eyes. Eamon then started typing on his laptop furiously while his twin tried to figure out what he was doing. 

"Anything in there?" Lars asked Eamon who just shook his head as he kept typing and scrolling down the screen. Then, there was a sound of a bell coming from the laptop and Eamon froze and started opening files and hacking the firewalls down.
