How to Kill an Elite

ELITE

When Elena opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Wendy hanging sideways, suspended by her seatbelt. Groaning Elena called out, "Everyone okay?"

Wendy moaned as she opened her eyes, "Didn't anyone ever tell you not to slam the brakes when you get a flat?"

"Glad you're okay. What about everyone else?" Elena huffed struggling to get her seatbelt off.

"I.... will...be...as...soon...as.... Amber.... gets.... off...me." Calypso muttered shoving hard against Amber's side.

"Stop it Caly. I'm stuck because of Ivy. Ivy, can you get off of me?" Amber snapped.

"My head hurts. I think I hit it on the door." Ivy whimpered putting a hand to her head, "Guy's I'm bleeding. Caly, can you heal me?"

"I.... will...if...you.... move," Calypso grunted.

"Oh, right sorry." Ivy blushed pulling herself up balancing on the back of their seat.

"Finally," Amber huffed as she moved into the floorboard area so Calypso could breathe.

"What about Misty and Crystal in the back?" Elena called out.

"We're fine." A soft voice called back.

"Speak for yourself Misty." Crystal groaned, "Next time you want to wake me up, just holler at me, don't sling me all over creation."

Rolling her eyes Elena huffed, "Glad you're not seriously damaged, now instead of fussing at me, why doesn't somebody try to get out of the car."

After a lot more grumbling everyone finally managed to climb out of the passenger side. Standing on the side of the car Elena looked around them, the grass still towered above their heads, and all their phones showed no service, "Anybody got any ideas?"

"I could probably use my power to set the car upright, but that'll mean we'll all have to get off into the grass," Ivy replied stretching her hand out over the ground trying to will the grass to move.

"I don't feel comfortable being surrounded by that much grass, what if I burned a small clearing around the car, could you still move it?" Amber replied pulling out a small red pellet.

"Yeah, but how would you stop the fire from burning everything around us, including us?" Ivy sighed.

"Good point, Caly could you put out the fire once I burned what we needed?"

Shaking her head Calypso sighed, "No, I don't have any water. I didn't bring my emergency supply. Wendy, could you maybe hover all of us above the grass while Ivy moves the car?"

"Uh, the last time I tried that we all went for an unplanned dip in Elena's pool, so I'm gonna say no."

"Okay, let's just go with plan A, we'll all jump down on the same side, and Ivy can set the car upright. I think there's a spare in the back that we can use to fix it with." Elena sighed.

Everyone nodded and on the count of three, they all jumped to the ground nearby, facing the driver's side of the car. Once in the grass, they all started to wade back the way they came, suddenly a shrill shriek echoed through the air. Looking around Elena called out, "Misty? Misty was that you?" when no one answered Elena called out again, "Everyone sound off. I want to know where you all are."

Three feet to her left Amber shouted, "Here."

Three feet to her right Calypso shouted, "Present and I thought Misty was on my right and that's where that shriek came from."
