Ella's POV:

"I knew you'd come with me." I stated, breaking the awkward silence between Kory, Britain and I.

"Well I couldn't exactly let you face thousands of people on your own, could I?" Kory replied, raising an eyebrow.

"I could take them." I lied. There's no possible way my petite self could take on a whole factory filled with arms, and guns.

"Sure." Britain coughed from behind me. I turned around and shot a glare towards him, causing him to slightly chuckle.

All three of us were standing, leaning against our white van watching the factory carefully.

"Do you think he's alive?" Britain asked me.

I was about to shrug, until the factory alarm started going off. We watched as a few gunman ran inside.

"I think that answers your question." Kory added, me following with a nod and a small smile.

I knew he'd find some way out.

"But." Britain looked confused, "How do we get in this time?"

"I have this one." I went around to the back of the van, and opened the doors revealing my emergent make-up kit, and 3 black dresses, with a few pairs of heels, and some wigs.

"You've got to be kidding me." They both muttered, looking at each other nervously.

A small smirk grew on my face, as I started walking towards them.

***

"I look ridiculous." Kory complained.

"How do girls walk in these things?" Britain questioned.

"You see, being a girl is a lot more harder then what you thought, right?" I smiled after they nodded eagerly.

"This brown wig itches too." Kory added.

"How do you make your hair stay up like this?" Britain wondered out loud.

"Can you both shut up? Now's not the time to complain or question girlhood!" I snapped.

"Woah." Kory murmured.

"I know right." Britain agreed. I rolled my eyes at the both of them.

"Just- Here's the plan." I started, "You two don't say anything, and I'll get us inside. We're going to have to do the casual 'flirt ourselves in' type of deal, so just act like a sex-craving girl."

"Uh, how do we do that?" Britain raised an eyebrow.

"Wink at the guards flirtatiously, bite your bottom lip- things like that." I explained.

"But isn't that weird for a guy to-"

"Britain!" I yelled, "Just play along!"

"Okay, okay!" Kory and him chuckled.

"God I hate men." I cried.

"Ooh, so you like woman?" Britain asked flirtatiously.

"Fuck you!" I shouted, continuously hitting his shoulder.

***

I knocked on the boarded up area where the door used to be.

"Follow my lead." I muttered, enough for the two shemale's behind me to hear.

"Yes?" I husky voice asked as the door swung open and three guards stood before us.

"Hey there." I said in my sexiest voice, flashing a wink at the man in front.

"Can I help you?" He asked, loosening up a bit.

"Me and my two girlfriends over here were invited to entertain someone named-" I paused and looked around, "Kade?"

"He's a little busy." He said.

"Aww." I made a minor pouty face, "But we traveled so far!"

The guards examined us with hungry eyes. I knew it was going to work.

"I guess he wouldn't mind if you waited for him." The guards stepped back and let us pass through, one of them slapping Kory in the ass, causing him to squirm a little. I lightly giggled as i followed one of them throughout the factory.

I frequently glanced behind me until I was sure that the other two guards had gone somewhere else. Now's my time to get away.

"Just keep going straight, and then-" before he could finish, I kicked the back of his knees in, and slammed his head against the wall, knocking him out.

"Damn Ella." Britain whistled, ripping his wig off, and kicking the heels to the side, "I didn't know you had that in you."

I watched as the two drag queens transformed back into their manly selves, before grabbing the guards gun, and running towards the pandemonium.

Running to the center of the factory, I passed a small door with the label "Personal Property.... Do Not Enter" embedded in it.

I slowed down causing the other two to look at me weirdly.

"Are you coming?" Kory asked.

"Yea, you two go ahead. I'll catch up." I tossed Kory the gun, and they both headed off.

I quickly went for the doorknob, but of course it was locked. For some reason I felt that something I needed to see was in there. I tugged at the handle, kicked the door multiple times, and even tried using my laser pen, but the door wouldn't open. I finally pulled out a Bobby pin from my hair, and began to pick the lock.

I almost gave up, until the lock clicked, and the door swung open. I did it, I got in.

I secretly slipped inside, shutting the door behind me after turning on the light. As the room lit up, I saw a bunch of stolen artifacts in glass cases.

"He must have been behind all of these disappearances." I said to myself, walking around and examining all of them carefully.

After looking for quite a while, I noticed something odd about all of stolen objects.

They all had something to do with fuel, power, electricity, or fire. Why would Kade be interested in things with only those purposes?

I continued browsing until I stumbled upon a rolled up piece of paper in the drawer of an old, wooden desk that happened to be in the very back of the room.

As I unrolled it, a blueprint was revealed. One for an odd looking machine.

I picked up the paper, and held it up in front of his whole collection of stolen objects, and of course they all had a spot somewhere in this blueprint.

"So he was stealing things he needed, not wanted." I added to my mental notes.

I carefully placed the blueprint back down on the desk, and rolled it up, accidentally hitting one of his statues, causing a button to appear on top of the table. I shut the drawer with the blueprint in it, and pushed the button.

The whole top part of the desk came up, revealing nothing other than-

The missing jewels.

I gasped, and backed into a shelve, knocking a few things over. I put them back in place, and shut the desk as fast as I could.

Normal people would take all that they've found, but I didn't have the backpack. Britain did.

"Just go get the backpack from Britain, and come back, Ella." I said, walking towards the door. I shut the lights off, and carefully slipped back outside, forgetting that the lock on the door was shot.

I ran towards the action scene thinking about all that I just uncovered. Kade's planning on building a machine that is somehow going to help him control the world. So what does the machine do? How is it going to help him?

"I could use a little help here Ella." Kory said, resisting a mans knife with all his strength. I watched the point of the mans knife get closer, and closer to Kory's heart before snapping out of my shocked state, and leaping to help him.

I kicked the mans hand, and punched him in the face. Kory kicked his stomach, and tossed him into a pile of boxes. He was out cold.

"Well, this could be helpful." Kory bent down and picked up the leftover knife, "We could always use it for cooking?"

"Where's-"

"He's right over there." Kory pointed a little bit farther left from where we were standing like he read my mind. I gave him a small smile before running in that direction.

I watched as a guard flew across the hall, and a tall, gorgeous guy appeared before my eyes, smirking at how well he took out a male much bigger then he was.

My world froze as he averted his gaze to me, looking up.

In my head I was thankful that he only had a few cuts on his body, but I still couldn't help but tear up from the sight of him.

As soon as I saw his face, all the bad memories came back into my mind- replaying over and over again.

The time he slept with her- the time they kissed. They were both there, and wouldn't go away.

His eyes said a lot too. I could tell right there that he was sorry- truly sorry. But for some reason, I thought I couldn't let him back into my life anymore. I wanted him to go away again, but my heart was telling him stay.

His lips began to move as his eyes widened. He was trying to say something-

I shook my head, releasing myself from my thoughts.

"Ella! Behind you!" I turned around to see Kade coming at me. He was running as fast as he could with a large sack full of things. He was trying to get away!

Before I could stop him, he shoved me aside and I fell to the ground with a small thud.

"Stop him!" I yelled, "Britain come with me."

Britain and I stood up and ran back towards that room, and Will and Kory went  after Kade.

"Why are we going the opposite way?" Britain asked.

I didn't respond, and stopped once I realized the door was left open. I'm pretty sure I closed it though.

I ran inside to find that everything I had found was gone. The artifacts, the blueprint, and more importantly, the jewels that seemed to be the main source of power for that machine.

"Ella?" Britain asked, "Are you okay?"

I breathed heavily as Britain examined me as if I were sick and about to die. For some reason, everything around me was blurry- and dizzy. It all seemed like one, big mess.

"He- he's trying to get away." I stuttered, "We have to stop him immediately!"

I took off towards Kory and Will, Britain following closely behind me. I shoved past every person, object, and thing that stood in my way.

I caught up with Will and Kory, but Kade was far ahead.

"How did you-"

"He has them." I murmured, cutting Will off.

"What?" Kory asked.

"He has the jewels." I tiredly responded.

"He what!?" Will yelled, eyeing the sack that Kade was carrying. I nodded, and they both picked up their pace, but it was too late.

Kade hopped in the helicopter, and disappeared before we could do anything else.

I fell to my knees as soon as the mobile took off. The world around me was spinning.

"Ella it's ok. Don't feel bad. It's not like it was your fault." Kory tried to comfort me, thinking that was the problem.

I started to lose balance on my knees, "Wait, Are you okay?" Will rushed to my side.

"I should- have taken them- when I had the chance." I managed to say before falling to the ground on my back.

"Ella! Ella!" I could hear Will's frantic voice as he called out to me, and shook me with such strength.

The world went black.
