*HELION*{SEQUEL TO SWITCHBACK!}

*Three*

Neither the King or any of the guards ever seen such hostility...or strength from men...to bend the security bars of the cages...or the simple dedication of keeping each other so closely. The guards asked the King what he wanted to do with them...but he had no ideas...but he did tell them that those loud kids needed to be out of his city...he didn't like or approve of them at all. Klayton and Criss both moved to the front of the cage, and told him right out if he took their kids out of the city...then they all were going with them. Rachel was holding onto Johnny and kissing his forehead...Dani, Karalea, and Siera were holding onto their kids with death grips as well...with their husbands holding onto them.

The King walked over to the cage and looked right at Sandy and I...and told the guards to bring us two out of the cage...so he could have a good look at us...he touched Sandy's tummy and asked why she was so fat...Sully ran out of the cage, and grabbed her and said she wasn't...she was pregnant with his daughter...then he held onto very tightly with a very threatening look on him...Klayton pulled one of the metal bars off the cage and walked out and pulled me away from the king...and told him king or no king...if he ever touched his wife again...the next thing he would see is this metal bar going right up in his ass...then see him pull it out from in between his fucking lips.

The King stepped back and didn't know what a threat was...but by the sound of Klayton's voice, he told his guards that he was one of the wild Ravager's...and they were all enemies of the crown...and they needed to be destroyed. Klayton quickly grabbed me and swung me out of danger of the laser gun...and told all of us to get out of the cage and head to the air mobiles!! Klayton took the bar he removed and fought the guards off as the rest of the family got the kids safely to the machines...Criss was trying to figure out how the fucking devices worked...Rachel grabbed the Cy-watch and asked it quickly how it started...the watch showed the picture of a weird key that was worn on the guard's neck...Criss hollered at Klayton and told him to get the necklace off of the guards!

Klayton approached the guard...and knelt down and reached for the guards throat...the guard curled up in a ball..trying to cover himself from being struck again...Klayton ripped the chain off his neck...then looked at the other guard and held out his hand...he quickly pulled his chain off as well and handed it to him...Klayton thanked him then...knocked them both out with the iron bar he was carrying...he tossed one of them to Criss...and the other one he kept...he crawled up in front of me...and followed the diagram on the watch and started the machine...then learned very quickly how to operate it...Criss learned from Klayton...and followed his lead.

As Klayton was heading back toward the force field wall...I grabbed the watch and asked it what a Ravager was...the watch informed us that a Ravager was a hostile rival clan of the Helionites...and lived on the outer edge of Helion in a place called Deltar...Klayton heard the watch and quickly asked it how to get to them from where we were at...without being victims of the night creatures...the watch posted by air...that touching the land would be deadly after dark. We made it to the force field...and checked all the devices on the machine...then Klayton remembered the guards wristband had the field opener...but Sully looked at us all with a grin and showed Klayton the wristband that he swiped from the guard as he grabbed his wife from him...then he tossed it to Criss...who in turn tossed it to Klayton...he was naturally better with electronics than they were...after looking it over for a while...he pushed the blue button and tested the force field...and he walked thru it...then told me to bring the air bike thru...Criss went first and I very slowly followed...Klayton hopped back on behind me...and kissed my neck and told all of us to get the hell out of Helion...so we could try out luck with these Deltar Ravagers.

All of us girls were sitting on the back of the machines holding the kids in our laps sleeping...Criss and Klayton were just levitating in midair trying to figure out which way to go...now that it was pitch black out...and there was no way we were going to be able to land until the sun came back up...Sully had the watch trying to figure out which direction it was talking about...Jinnx sat up very slowly and asked how long these machines were going to stay running before running out of gas or whatever type of fuel they took...Klayton checked out the air vehicle and said they didn't run on fuel...they ran on some kind of electricity...just like everything else in Helion...and he chuckled a little bit and said he hoped they were fully charged...if not we were all so fucked.

Klayton did figure out how to turn on the headlights on the machines...so at least we had some kind of light source...Criss hopped back up in the driver's spot and told Klayton we should just wing it and keep moving...preferably away from the city of Helion. We all said agreed in unison right after Criss mentioned it...Klayton stood up and got into the other driver's spot...and said might as well we didn't really have anything to lose...so for the next what seemed to be several hours we kept air driving in the darkness with nothing to go on...but the length of the headlights on the machines. Everyone was now sound asleep except for Rachel and I...so I stood up and decided to sit on my hubby's lap and keep him company...Rachel did the same thing with Criss...while still having Johnny in her arms...then I looked up at him, and asked him if we were going to be able to survive this new world. Because so far it didn't seem very likely...Klayton kissed my neck and told me that he wasn't going to let anything happen to his family...and that he was gonna make sure that we all survive...one way or the other.
