"That's it?"

"Yeah..." Max looked at me like a child, "Is there a problem?"

I frowned a little bit, "You're just gonna go over there and fight them..."

She shrugged, "Yeah. Honestly, they could be taken from the sky, but they're evasive. Neither Maddie or Nevada were able to get a lock on them when they were in the trees."

"When did you talk to Maddie?" She pointed to her ear and I scowled, "Seriously?"

"They need you on the west side of the field, by the way." I was about to protest when she shook her head and gave me a death glare, "Cassidy and I can handle it. We'll grab other people if we need to. Go."

I rolled my eyes, "This'll be good."

"I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU LEFT US TO FIGURE THAT OUT ALONE!"

"I KILLED VOLDEMORT! DON'T START YELLING AT ME!"

When I arrived, Maddie and George were in the middle of a particularly loud shouting match. I groaned and yelled, "HEY! SHUT UP! What is going on?!"

Maddie scowled, "G left us when we were about to go up against Turnball."

George raised his hand, "Again, I make the 'I killed Voldemort' argument. And I kinda saved Ali and Carson over here from being killed."

"Doesn't matter. They would've been fine. It could've waited. I almost burned out trying to hold that barrier by myself!"

"Is Turnball dead?" When Maddie nodded, I rolled my eyes, "Then why is this an issue? They both died. Nobody got killed. No problems."

There was a moment of silence, then Maddie pointed menacingly at George, "We're not done talking about this."

"So, why am I here? Who needs help?"

"George and Ali." Lucas answered.

"We're going up against Kronos." Ali explained, "We need someone that can control lightning."

"Happy to oblige."

"I'll be fighting Capricorn." Maddie added, "Phil, Lucas, Carson. You guys should go over to the east end and see if you can help Max and Cassidy."

Phil frowned, "What are they doing?"

"They're leading a strike on Razim and Julia."

"Fun." Carson commented, "We'll be there."

"Cool." Maddie said, "I'm gonna go find paper and pen."

"Uh, why?" I asked.

"I've got a plan. Trust me. You'll see. Go do your thing."

"Will do." Ali replied. She grabbed my arm and George's wrist, and we apparated away.

I GOT A FOUR GUYS! I am successful in life :D

Does anyone else watch 24? Jack Bauer is my fav. OMG I WAS FREAKING OUT LAST NIGHT AND I'M NOT GONNA HAVE ACCESS TO A TV FOR THE FINALE! I THINK I'M GONNA DIE...

No sketches for the next week or so. No laptop access. I'll do my best to make sure updates continue though.

Votes and comments would be greatly appreciated.
