Planet of the Stars

Chapter 5: Big Brother

I was hiding in the building in a really dark, and closed off corner. Everyone else was scattered in different places, but Felicity was still with me. I crouched in the corner. My hands were over my blasters, ready to pull it out. Felicity was crouching beside me.

"Do you think you can handle fighting?" I ask.

"Yes I do." Felicity says.

"Okay good." I say.

I hold up my arm that had the bracelet on it. I rolled a bead off of it into the palm of my hand, and a hologram appeared from it. It showed the blueprint of the building, and dots where the people were positioned. I could see where I was, but Felicity didn't show up. She could emulate temperature, but on thermal scans she didn't show up.

I saw the dots moving.

"Alright it's beginning." I say.

I roll the bead back to the bracelet and the hologram went away. I waited. The plan was pretty much to lure the people to where we wanted them to be. People were leading them to a place where someone else was waiting. The person who was leading them to me was Theo.

I heard footsteps. I peered around the crate I was hiding behind to see Theo leading them towards me. Other people were being led to where we were all aiming for to meet. I took out my blaster, then stepped out of my hiding place. Theo continued running, and now it was my turn to start herding.

Felicity came out with me. We started herding them towards the biggest room. The Big Brother people were trained well. They knew how to fight. I had been fighting them for pretty much my while life, so I knew how to fight them.

Felicity knew how to also somehow, but she had to be more physical, because she didn't have any weapons. We managed to get them into the biggest room. The others were in there. The Big Brother people were in the center, and we were surrounding them. We created a circle around them.

They were firing their weapons at us. We managed to dodge them. Efren, Theo, Kira, Lincoln, and I actually managed to disarm some of them. They eventually raised their arms up in surrender.

"Alright, what do you want?" They ask.

"We want you to leave these people alone." I say.

The person who seemed to be the leader smirked.

"Sorry sweetheart that's not going to happen." He says.

I fired my blaster at his leg. I hit it, and he collapsed onto the leg I hit.

"Don't call me sweetheart." I snarl.

The guy let out some mumbled curses. I smiled smugly.

"What do you want here?" Efren asks.

"And why should we answer you?" They ask.

"Because if you don't . . . I'll kill you." Lincoln says.

I rolled my eyes Lincoln purposefully stayed hidden in the shadows, and now he had summoned his swords, so now he was lit up by his red-yellow swords. It was effective though. Once Lincoln announced himself they noticeably grew more terrified. So, I guess he got his point across. Lincoln walked into the light, so they could fully see him.

Even though Lincoln had stopped his ways of being bad he was still terrifying.

"Lord Lincoln." The leader snarled.

"NF-453." Lincoln says with cold malice.

"So you've gone soft." The leader says.

Lincoln walks forward and crouches in front of the guy and holds his sword up to the mans throat I saw the man pale.

"Just because I switched sides doesn't mean I've gone soft. In fact being a husband, and father may have heightened my ability to not hold back." Lincoln hisses.

I see the man swallow, and sweat was dripping down his face.

"Now tell us what we want to know or I'm going to have to dispatch of your head, but only after I've opened your stomach, and taken out your guts, maybe gauged out your eyes, and fed you your tongue." Lincoln hisses.

"Fine. We need a base to continue with what we're doing. If we don't have one we're going to die out. We don't have much to go on." The guy says.

"There now was that so hard?" Lincoln asks, and while he says that he has his hand on the guys head.

"I told you what you wanted to know, now let me go." The guy says.

"I didn't say I'd let you go." Lincoln says, then stabs the guy through the heart.

The guy dies. Lincoln takes his sword out, then turns to the other people.

"Now, what are you guys trying to do?" Lincoln asks.

I bit my lip. I didn't like Big Brother, so I didn't mind Lincoln killing them, but watching it happen made me sick to my stomach. I've killed people before, but watching Lincoln revel in it was what upset my stomach, and made me glad he was on our side. The guys were obviously terrified now, but none of them wanted to talk, so they started attacking us. Lincoln rolled his eyes, then started fighting them.

Kira joined his side. I fired my blasters at everyone else. Theo, Efren, and I worked our way towards each other. Lars was handling the others with his bow staff that had electricity sparking out of the ends. Theo, Efren, and I reached each other and started fighting.

Efren was using his swords, Theo and I were using our blasters. Although, I had my stick in one hand that could alternate between a bow staff and sword. So, I was alternating between my sword, blaster, and bow staff. Efren managed to take out most of the people. Theo and I did pretty well ourselves.

I managed to take out the last one by firing my blaster at his leg which caused him to fall, then I decapitated him with my sword. I turned my sword back into a stick, then strapped it to my back before putting my blasters away.
