Trott's P.O.V
Me and Smith were helping Ross up from the ground. He was dangerously close from death but the healing potions we'd made before the lunatic with the Voldemort obsession and scarecrow minion knocked all three of them unconscious, the rest was a blur.
"What was that?" Ross asks groggily and i shake my head, wincing as it feels like a dwarf has ran over it.
Nobody's P.O.V
Everybody was now in the medical bay, Xephos speaking no more about his old life and Lomadia was dishing out bandages.
"So let me get this straight you knew she was still alive?" Xephos said to nilsey and he shrugged.
"Hey listen, i had no idea your ladyfriend was MY friend alright?" Nilsey said sternly, making it more scary in his deeper voice and walked off. Xephos smiled as Nilsey's green tie flew over his shoulder as he did so.
"Xephos over here" Lalna said and Xephos turned, and let Lalna and Lomadia patch up his wounds that he hadn't felt from all of the adrenline until now.
"Ow!" He cried as the anti-ceptic wipe covered his red stained skin.
"Oh shut up" Lomadia hushed him and Xephos bit his lip.
Sips's P.O.V
Me and Zoey were chatting next to Teep and Nilsey who were playing the lever game.
"So, how you feeling?" I ask and Zoey shrugs looking down. She's fiddling with her arm and biting her lower lip.
"i'm ok, what about you Sips" Zoey asks me and i honestly don't know what to say.
"Like shit, but fine" I say. Zoey smiles and looks at me as we share each others sadness.
"So, what are we going to do now?" Honeydew asks after a while, well i don't know it could've been hours or seconds. I don't now.
Xephos was drinking a clear liquid and coughed as everyone turned to face him.
"Are plan is'nt going as smoothly as we thought it would. We knew some would get some casualty's" He looks over at me and Zoey and we both nod. "And we know they're at least at peace now"
Everybody's quiet, surprisingly Lalna stops it.
"Is'nt hard to kill an enderborn?" He asks to nobody but Zoey's face goes red.
I growl at him, "What about Sjin, he's dead. he's as strong as anyone" Lalna laughs and i get held back by teep and martyn.
"Oh really, all he does is fight by your side and grow crops. Go on about stupid mahogany doors and talk to his pets! Sjin is a coward and a liar!" Lalna shouts back, he's held back by a tired Xephos and a annoyed Honeydew.
"Guys knock it off" Toby says but i can't let him speak about my friend like that.
TIID KLO UL!
Everything slows in front of me and i pull myself out of Teep and Martyn grasp and run over to Lalna.
As he's still slowed down i grab him and pull him close.
Time speeds up and Lalna wriggles in my hold.
"Take. That. Back!" I spit every word out.
"ENOUGH!" Xephos shouts and i hesitate before dropping him.
I look round and see everyone starring at me, mostly with anger but everybody somehow understood my actions. I backed away and looked at my hands.
"I'm sorry Lalna" I say quietly and i see Lalna on the floor. His eyes full of sympathy. "Sips, i didn't mean it. We're all tired and i'm going to admit it" He looks around "Scared".
I nod but still not forgiving him for calling Sjin a coward.
I hear Xephos call for me to rest and with Teep, Martyn, Zoey and Toby i crash into my makeshift bed, trying to block The hum of their planning from the next room.
Ross's P.O.V
Trott's ahead trying to see if there's any guards as Smith is helping me stand. "I need magic!" Smith sighs looking over my gash, The healing potions had woke me but the wound was darkcraft.
Trotts arm raised and me halted. Someones coming so we run, well Smith helps me over to the pillars and hide behind them.
Theirs two voices, one's alarmingly high while the other is low and slow.
I can't hear what their saying because as i look at smith and Trott,
A slender dagger is held against my neck.
"Don't even think about it" the one with the high pitch voice -which was now low too- whispered as Smith reached for his gun.
Xephos's P.O.V
We've been up all night planing the new idea that had formed in our minds.
"So if You me and Nilsey advance over there" Honeydew pointed to the back of the castle.
"We should find Sjin and Rythian's mark where they themselves got up" I yawned and Lomadia took notice and sprayed a potions in the air.
"It'll refresh us so we don't need to sleep" She murmured.
Lalna was in the corner with Kim, both trying to make as many jetpacks as they can. They were already after around 5 hours onto their 10th and as they did that we ran over the groups for the hundredth time.
Kim, Hannah, sips and zoey (Girl power and Sips)
Lalna, Martyn and Toby
Nilsey, Xephos and Honeydew
Sips, Martyn, Zoey, Teep and Toby came grumbling through and we quickly filled in on the details.
"So i'm with the bitches" Sips says looking over the drafts of maps we had from memory.
All three girls -and a jealous lalna i notice- look at him with a scowl.
"Ladies" He laughs and everybody joins in. It's glad to have him back like this.
"Xeph, can you help me with this" Lomadia says to me as she struggles to pick up some weapons.
I feel cheeky so as i pick up Teep's bow an arrow i kiss her when i come up.
I know this time Nilsey gags as he passes us.
Lalna's P.O.V
As we're all geared up and we've handed out all of the jetpacks and gotten our weapons back and filled with ammo.
As i switch my mining lazer to explosive Sips passing by and i sigh looking at Kim, she's smiling at me so i smile back but i glance over at Sips and before they leave by teleport i grab him back.
"Sips"
"I know your sorry"
"it's not that" I say and he turns around, he's nervous and as he stands their looks at me waiting.
Sips crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow. "I'm about to go" He says and i cough,
"Well, um Sjin-"
"Don't-"
"No, it's something you should know. He would want you to know"
I see Sips running it through his head and nods for me to continue.
"Did Sjin ever tell you why me and him have this grudge towards each other?"
"I didn't even know you had a grudge"
"Well we do, it's complicated but it's because he was. Different. Strawfingers called him a lier" i explain and Sips nods, the humming of the teleportation beams are warming up and i smile as he notices too.
"What are you saying Lalna" He pressed.
"He was a psychopath Sips, a bloody hit man"
I don't get to hear his answer as the beam is live and i have to step back.
