It isn't long at all until Raine and I arrive back on the scene of the White House. Ambulance sirens wail everywhere as people are carried off on cots. I don't see my friends and allies. Whatever happened to Christian, Nicole, and the others? I hope they're okay.

Raine takes out a glossy electric blue gun and shoots it at President Wills. A net emerges from the gun and misses its target terribly. I thought she would make an excellent marksman, but maybe not.

"Damn! Missed by a mile!" she hisses.

"Trying to get to me? Very well, then," President Wills runs towards us as people charge towards him. Raine and I are blocked off by guards. We watch in horror as President Wills pushes and shoves people out of his way. Someone throws a throwing knife at him, only for him to catch it. President Wills smirks as he throws it back to the owner, hitting him bullseye in the chest. Blood oozes onto his shirt.

Another person throws himself on top of President Wills' body, only to be thrown off forcefully. He then proceeds to grab someone by the neck.

"Now...where is Jojo Pullman? I have something to settle with her," he roars in the person's face. Instead of responding, the person kicks him in the crotch. As he winces in pain, Raine and I continue to get past the guards.

"Here he comes!" another person cries as President Wills runs somewhere. Our vision is then obscured by someone letting out some tear gas and smoke. Once the smoke clears, he is right in front of us, hair flowing in the wind.

"You will go no further," Raine aims her gun at his forehead and shoots at him, only for him to evade all the bullets. What is this, The Matrix?

Mason comes in charging like a football player and pins President Wills to the ground. I get out my gun and aim it at the two men. Oh, great, here we go again. How the hell am I supposed to aim my gun at the right guy when they're on the ground fighting like animals?

The two men roll over (Mason on the bottom) and President Wills punches his crotch. Mason wails in pain. All of a sudden, Kylie appears with a gun in both hands. As she struts across the lawn of the White House, she dodges bullets aimed at her head. Without even looking, she aims her gun at some people and shoots them.

"Step back," I say as my attention diverts to Kylie. I point my gun at her.

"This is kinda risky," Mason warns. "Remember, you're wanted for killing Bradley and I heard you also shot Shanelle in the arm. You do realize that if we ever come back, we'll have to be extra careful,"

"She's an enemy. We need to get rid of her as well as her parents. She's also a bad influence on everyone, but first..." Raine readies her glossy electric blue gun and shoots it at Kylie. This time, it hits. Kylie then becomes entangled in a yarny mess of fishing net fibers. She presses a button on the gun and all of a sudden, Kylie gets electrocuted. It's only then that I notice something metal at the net intersections.

"Those are what electrocuted her?" I query. Raine nods. My attention is then turned to Kylie's unconscious body, which lies limp in the middle of all the chaos.

"That's another one down. Where's President Wills?" Alessandra joins us.

"Beats me. We've gotta find him. I hope he hasn't found where we kept Team Ater," Mason shrugs. Just then, more tear gas and smoke appears. My eyes begin to sting and my chest feels like it's being kicked by a donkey.

"Run!" Raine cries as we all turn tail and sprint away from the scene. Man, I hope the others are alright.

"Have you guys seen the others?" I question. Alessandra shakes her head.

"Shut up and hold your breath!" Mason shouts above all the chaos. I take off my glasses and stash them somewhere. All of a sudden, everything becomes blurry. I immediately trip over something and fall flat on my face.

"Come on! We've gotta move!" Raine shouts in my ear and takes my hand. She then takes a deep breath and holds it.

"Wait up!" a voice calls out from behind. Anthony is running for his life away from the tear gas, along with Paul.

"You're running too slow! Here, lemme carry you!" Mason sweeps Anthony off the ground and carries him bridal style.

"Dude, I can run fast. I'm a cross country runner," Anthony explains. Suddenly, more smoke appears. I begin a coughing fit and collapse to the ground. I can hear Raine panting heavily as I manage to get back on my feet. Then, bullets zoom our way.

"Oh no," Paul looks behind as the smoke looms closer.

As long as we stand together, we will not be defeated. Right now, it's basically a stalemate. Sure, Team Flavus members arrived on the scene when Nicole called them over, but is that enough? We need more help. More than that, where are Christian, Nicole, Joseph, and the others? I hope they're alright.

Author's Note: Where are the others? Is there anything Jojo and Team Ruber can do to turn the tables?
