I wake up to screaming and quickly sit up, hitting my head on the log before I crawl out from under it, I gasp at what I see. Fire was dead on the ground at the base of the tree he had climbed, long deep claw marks running from his neck to his stomach, blood pooling around him. Bolt was crying silently until Terror whispers something to him and he nods. "What happened here?!" I question.

Bolt looks at me "they killed him" he growls "they killed my brother and I'm going to kill them."

"Bolt, think about this, we need a plan" I try to tell him.

"No! I've thought enough about this, are you with me or do I need to kill you?" Bolt growls.

I think, glaring at him, if I said I was with him then it would be a show of weakness, giving up my power, but if I said I was against him then they would think I was with the mutants that killed Fire. I sigh "I am not against you Bolt, but we need a plan, I will not allow my team to be slaughtered just because we ran into battle without a plan."

"Fine!" Bolt growls "whats the plan oh wise leader" he sneers.

I glare at him "we attack at the edge, move towards the center, take out the edge before they can get help from the others" I say with a smirk.

"Well lets go then" Bolt growls and gets up, heading towards the nearest campsite that the mutants made.

I grumble "terror, tremor go with him, make sure he doesn't get himself killed before the battle even starts." They nod and follow bolt. I sigh and look at the others "get your weapons, get prepared" I tell them "we start this battle in an hour."

I sit watching the campsites, waiting for the right time and waiting for the rest of the team to get ready, I frown slightly when I see something I hadn't expected, terror, tremor and Bolt moving from campsite to campsite, only staying long enough to search the tents, I could hear gun shots and then I saw it, a black mass forming in the distance, as it moved closer I realized it was hundreds of mutants.

"we need to go! NOW!!!" I yell running to the others "we need to go, theres hundreds of them on there way here, we will be dead by nightfall if we stay!"

"Wha you mean?" Rifle asks.

"THE SUPER POWERED CREATURES, THERE COMING, WE NEED TO GO" I yell, clearly panicking.

"We ain't going no where" rifle says stubbornly.

"We can't just run from this! We fight and we fight till there dead or see dead" bullet says.

"Bullets right, we do this my way!" Bolt says walking up the hill towards us with tremor and terror following. I turn to look at them, all three covered in blue, orange and red blood that i was assuming wasn't theres.

"This is insane, if we fight them then we will die!" I tell him.

"Then so be it, I would feather be killed in battle then have Mr.Barren shoot me." Bolt growls.

I look around everyone, they were all nodding, agreeing with bolt. I sigh softly, war had started and I was all alone on a side of my own, a side where I wanted to flee but fleeing would mean death for me. I had to fight, the battle had begun.
