The Outcasts *COMPLETED*

Chapter 35 - Unexpected Arrivals

"So what are we looking at FC?" Javi asked, sitting and looking up at the man from the future. Future Cooper raised an eyebrow and looked at the human flamethrower, and just by his look, Javi could tell he was being questioned. "FC. Future Cooper. It works. Come on."

"Okay, whatever. Look, we need to be smart about things. The last time this happened we let emotions get the better of us and... well had our asses handed to us." FC said, looking at the others. "Danny you need to go after Johnny, but you can't lose your cool. You need to stay calm and focused."

"Got it." Danny said with a nod.

"Mollie, focus solely on Sophie, and not letting her touch you."

"I still can't believe her and Johnny are involved in this." Mollie said, staring at the ground.

"Romero too." Javi added quietly.

"Now is not the time for sympathy. They are going to try and kill you. We just need to knock them out. Okay?" FC said. He turned his attention to Cooper.

"I need you taking on Romero. The Higher Being relies on him for a lot, so eliminating him, or just distracting him long enough will be enough to buy us some time. Javi, you need to subdue Jade. Your powers should cancel out hers. Just take it easy." FC instructed.

"You got it dude." Javi said, pointing at FC. Without his control, a tiny fireball was shot out of his finger. FC was able to move out of the way fast enough, to see the fireball hit the wall. He sighed and Javi's eyes went wide. "Damn, my bad. I got that."

"Just... just go. We got it." Kayleigh said, rubbing her forehead. FC, Javi, Cooper, Mollie, and Danny all stood and walked to the front door, leaving the two adults behind as they went to go and save their futures.

As the group stepped outside, they saw people on the street staring at the sky. FC looked up, seeing the sky starting to turn dark signaling night. However, what they were pointing out was a star that looked a lot bigger than most. His eyes went wide as he realized the Higher Being was coming sooner than he had expected.

"Move!" FC shouted, sprinting away as the others followed his lead and left the area, as the star revealed itself as a meteor that went crashing into the middle of the street.

"The school now. I've arrived earlier than planned. Something is wrong. The calculated plan has been messed with by someone. Someone not from here." the Higher Being spoke to Romero. He sat inside the apartment building where Jade was being held captive. He sighed, looking at the teenaged girl who was no longer being restrained, seeing as how she had turned to their cause. He looked over at the other teenage girl, who tied her fiery red hair back into a ponytail.

"The plan?" Jade spoke coldly.

"We need to go to the school. Things have changed." Romero informed the two, standing up and turning into his Dark Diablo form.

"Johnny's already there. He'll be waiting for us." Sophie responded, standing up with Jade.

"Good. Let's hurry. We shouldn't keep him waiting." Romero said.

FC, Mollie, Javi, Cooper, and Danny stared at the meteor where a large blue figure began to rise out of it. FC balled his hands into fists, while the other four took a step back, appalled to see such a creature despite what FC had told them already. FC looked back at them and saw how they didn't seem ready for a big fight.

"This isn't gonna be good." FC muttered to himself.

The Higher Being raised its arms up to the sky. Two bolts of lightning came down, striking it where it stood and causing a cloud of smoke to surround the mysterious figure. People watched in awe as within the cloud of smoke, the figure began to shine almost, with little bolts of electricity sparking off of it.

Kayleigh stood inside the house, looking through the blinds of the window she stood at. Drew was right next to her, both laying their eyes on the creature that had been explained to them by FC. Drew continued to stand there watching it, moving one hand to his holster. Kayleigh stepped away from the window and began pacing back and forth, both of her hands on her face as she whispered to herself. Drew turned his head to look at her and then looked back at the Higher Being, who was now glowing.

"What the hell are we gonna do to help them." Drew asked, turning around to look at his boss.

"I can only think of one thing." Kayleigh said, turning to make eye contact. Drew cocked his head to the side. "One thing that stood a chance to that thing in the future..."

"No." Drew said.

"We have no choice."

"He tried to kill us Kay." Drew said, stepping forward. He grabbed her shoulders and gave her a slight shake.

"I'll go and say something myself then." Kayleigh sternly said, pushing off of Drew and going into the kitchen to grab her things. Drew pinched the bridge of his nose and took a deep breath. He then looked up towards the sky and threw his hands up.

"Why? Why do you do this to me?" Drew asked, walking into the kitchen after his boss.
