Chapter Twenty
Joyella had been sent back to the dungeons as she had tried to poison Lucy. It was there and then that the two sisters reunited. At first Natalia didn't believe her, but then Joyella showed her a heart shaped birthmark, the same on Natlia had on her thigh. It could not be a coincidence that two strangers had the same birthmark. They had hugged each told the other about their life and about their transformations. Joyella then told her that she had broken her out, she had drugged her slightly just enough to get her out, then had told her to run as fast as she could until she was safe. And Natalia told her story, that she gotten to a house not knowing that it was Lucy's. She told all that happened until this point.
"Kovais is getting a team to get us out, and trust me sister, I will be by your side as you take down the monster." Joyella said with a firmness in her voice
"Thank you, I know I can count on all of you to help." They fell silent as they waited for help. Once Aquilo, Bier and Quicksilver had gotten to the lab, they went to the secret room that Nyra who had ginger hair and green eyes had made with the help of others and power tools, she was one who could deflect people away make them think that they were somewhere else. Inside the secret room, they met up with Kovais who had asked Nigel a African American boy where Lucy had put Natalia and Joyella. He told him that he had brought them to the dungeons and had put a special lock on it. Kovais took off for the dungeons he arrived and walked down to the last barred door. Sure enough there was a keypad, but there was one problem, it had a voice recognition on it. Crud. He thought. He disappeared, then a flash was seen by the door and a body could be heard thunking to the ground. He reappeared , Lucy had put some electricity bars on it so that no one but her could get in
"I can help." He turned and saw Nigel. He nodded at him and right in front of him Nigel turned into Lucy spoke the password and the door creaked open. The others had been easier to get out as it had just been a simple lock. The girls stood in the doorway, Joyella looked out and saw Nigel
"Thank you Nigel, I appreciate it." Then Natalia turned to Kovais
"Kovais, I'd like you to meet my sister"
"Yes, we had the pleasure of meeting a while ago, she told me about you and told me to go and find you."
"I see, well it's nice to know that someone has your back even though you didn't know they existed." Natalia spoke this softly. After freeing Natalia and Joyella, Kovais gave them their orders and then took off to see if he and Nigel could free anybody else. Before Natalia went to do her job she had to find Max, she knew he had to be around here, she had heard his car following them. She exited the dungeons and heard a faint humming sound followed by a scream, Max! Her eyes darted around looking at all the doors, a scream sounded again coming from down the hall she took off running and stopped at two double doors, she peeked inside and saw a red scar faced women, it was then she realized that it was Lucy and she was standing over Max, she had cut him open a little and was doing the same thing that she had done to her. Light was surrounding him as she fixed him.
"Why are you doing this to your own son?" She asks as Lucy jumps not knowing that she was behind her
"Why am I doing it?"
"Yes Lucy, why?" She asks from the door
"Because Natalia, I want to. I want him to understand what power feels like and how great having powers are."
"But what if he doesn't think their great?"
'Well then, he's just going to have to learn to like them."
I'm sorry Lucy, but your wrong. Natalia answerd stepping down the stairs and coming closer. Max would not want this, your just doing this for yourself." With that she lifted her hands and sent Lucy flying backwards, she hit the wall and laid motionless. Natalia went over to Max and shook him a little, Max, wake up, Max! Lifting Max off the table, the light around him disappeared, she carried him to the hallway and laid him down on the ground, she healed his wounds. Pulling out her phone she called Ben, she told him where he was and that he needed to come now. Max was groggy but slowly starting to revive, Laney who had turned on Lucy and was now on their side provided her with water droplets that she placed in Max's mouth to revive him. He sat up and blinked his eyes
"What happened?"
"It was your mom, she, she did the same thing to you as she did to me."
"What!? So now I have powers?"
"Yes, but I will teach you."
'"But I don't them, you have to get them out."
"I'm sorry Max, but theirs nothing we can do." He cried out and covered his face with hands. Natalaia stayed there with an arm on his leg waiting for Ben to show up. Laney's phone beeped and she pulled it
"Nataia, you have to go."
"Now?"
'Yes." Alright. As she got up, she could hear Ben shouting, Laney sent a water friend to help Ben. Light surrounded Natalia as she became suspended in the air. The light faded revealing a armor like outfit, that had a Medieval style to it. It had a black chest plate She turned to look at him as a black and gold helmet covered her head. Attached to the outfit was a black cape. You see when Brier and Aquilo pulled her aside, they had giving her a black chip that stuck behind her ear. When needed she would place it there, push it and protection would instantly appear.
"What are you doing?" Max asked
In a deep filtered voice she said "I have to go, I need to fight her! I won't rest until I do!"
"Please Natalia don't" Ben had gotten there, so she turned her head towards him
"Please Ben take him somewhere safe, this is my fight not his." He nodded his head and picked him and carried him out. Natalia tuned out the shouts from Max and turned her attention back toward finding Lucy but first she had to meet up with the others., She walked down the hallway to the secret room that she was to meet the rest of the gang ing. Her boots thumping as she walked. She made it to the room and knocked on it doing the secret code that was specifically made for the door. Her helmet slid back so that she could talk
"There you are, everything ok? You were supposed to be 20 minutes ago." Aquilo asks her face filled with concern
"Yes, I'm fine, Lucy had gotten Max, she turned him into ones of us, I will have to deal with him later."
"Alright, confession, I followed you after you left, and I saw that you knocked Lucy out. Dante' found her and is out for blood. He revived her but told her to rest, if we get her right now, she may not be able to fight. Get your gear on and let's go!" Those with the chip pushed and just like Natalia, white light circled them as they were suspended in the air. Aquilo's outfit was blue and white suit, shining like ice. A ice like crown encircled her head and a sharp pint went down to the edge of her nose. Brier's suit was made of vines and her shoes were like sandal heels with the straps going up to her thighs. Kovais wore a dark gray metal like armor. Quicksilver didn't need to change as we was either covered with fur or scales. Laney wore a dress made of water it was see through, but you didn't see anything you weren't supposed to see.
"I have more waiting outside, lets go!" Kovais boomed. With everybody ready they stormed out of the door and out into the hallways, guards came at them as they had tripped the alerter alert, the guards were taken down one by one. They made it to the entry of the lab, lights flashing and alarm blaring they walked outside and circled around each watching each others back, the snow had melted as it was becoming warm, suddenly somebody shouted
"Up there!" They all looked up to see Lucy hovering in the air above them.
"You fools, you can't win against me."
"But we can Lucy! Natalia shouted We are many and you are one!."
"That's not true, I have Dante' and Sharena and Toby! And I also have some of the guards on my side. Who do you have?" Lucy asked with a mocking voice.
"We have all the people that you have changed on our side. We also are connected by the heart. Were all fighting for the same thing."
"Well then, let's find out if you got what it takes." With that Lucy shot forward, Natalia put her helmet down and shot upward meeting in the air, Natalia had pulled with her some ice daggers that Aquilo had made. She shot them at her but Lucy deflected them with her wings. She pounded her wings together and the wind from them caused Natalia to fly backwards she stopped herself by using the robotic wings that were attached to her suit. Down below Natalia and Lucy's sode clashed together. Animal against animal, human against human, Dante1 against Kovais, Sharena against Aquilo, and Toby against Brier. Tornados and poisonous gas going everywhere. Storms brewd, heat vision cut through the tornadoes, fire spread. Eyes were glowing, bodies were dropping from either side.
"You'll never beat me Natalia. You haven't had trainings."
"Oh But I have Lucy!" With that she summoned all her strength, glass, and bricks from building came flying they hit Lucy with force and she dropped from the sky. Dust rose around her body. Natalia landed, all fighting ceased as Dante' rushed to Lucy's side
"IS she dead?" Kovais asked
"No. Knowing her I know she's not." As she spoke, Lucy rose with a gut wrenching scream
"You will not defeat me! You are a bunch of nothing's She sent Dante' out but Quicksilver met him in the middle, he dug his teeth unto his neck, Dante1 tried grabbing him, but his hoofs got in the way and he couldn't grab him, Quiksilver bite harder and then a cracking sound could be heard as Dante' cried out and then he was silent Quicksilver released him and turned around and looked at Lucy, blood dripping from his fangs. Lucy's face turned into shock and horror.
"Nooooooo!" She sent out a electric shock but Aquilo saw it and deflected it with her body, she went down convulsing, Quicksilver changed into human form and rushed to her side. Enough was enough! Natalia gathered everybody that was left.
"I have an idea, since were connected, I think we might have something in us that will help us to win, I don't know what, I can just feel it. Everybody grabbed hands, then they ran, never breaking. A slight buzzing made its way through all their bodies. A violet light started to encircle their hands one by one until they were a circle of light. Lucy feared for the worse as she watched them get closer o she sent her army running back towards what was left of the building. They didn't make it, a rumbling sound sounded, Natalia broke the circle and they all let go, dropped to their knees behind Natalia, they connected again, Kovais held onto Natalia's hand and she threw her hands forward, the violet light surged forward, a tornado shaped ice rushed forward and knocked out the first rank, a second later a poisonous shaped tornado surged forward and hit the second rank. After the third rank, Lucy would be theirs. A rumbling sounded sounded again, it came from the ground, a crack formed and ran the length of the yard and right to the third rank, By now, Natalia was also on her knees, using everybody's powers was weakening her, she watched as the ground swallowed the third rank. Their stood lucy "Powerless" the men in black surrounded her and pointed guns at them. Natalia let go of Kovais and the light stopped. It was up to her now. She opened her helmet and surveyed the area. Some of her diligent fighters lay dead, others wounded. She couldn't let Lucy torment them ay farther. They had started with 20, now there was ten of them. Lucy had started with thirty people and now had no one left. Natalia turned and walked towards Lucy. A wind had started to blow and it hit Natalia making her hair blow, making her look like a warrior. Her army watched, ready to move at the first cue from Natalia. Their numbers were smaller now so they had to move in a way where they wouldn't all end up dead. She got closer and the men in black pointed their guns at Natalia, she raised her arm and a shield made of grass appeared blocking the bullets. She lifted the other hand, her eyes glowing fiercely, one of the men levitated in the air, then was thrown against the building, he lay motionless. The others kept their weapons on her, but she could see the fear in their eyes. She twisted her hands and the guns flew away, they ran away in fear, but Quicksilver ran after them. Cries rang out as Natalia was just a few feet away. In the background, Ben and Max watched the whole thing go down. But Max had had enough, he had watched too many people die and get hurt, he rushed forward, another shifter saw him and offered him a ride. Max called out as the giant beast brought him closer
"Natalia! Stop!" She turned around and saw him coming towards her on a big beast. Suddenly she was in the air hanging by an invisible force, her throat became tight, she reached up and clutched her neck, the world around her was turning fuzzy, her last thing she remembered was hitting the ground and in blurriness and slow motion, saw the rest of her army flying past her, and Max rushing towards her.
After Natalia was thrown into the air by Lucy, Aquilo who had recovered rushed forward with brier, Aquilo had hit her with an ice dagger and brier and pulled her down. When she stabbed her, it caused Lucy to lose grip on Natlia and she had crashed to the ground. The others had rushed forward to make sure Lucy didn't escape. Joyella had been going around to the wounded and checking on them. So she didn't see anything except for her sister crashing to the ground. She stopped what she was doing and ran across the yard, Benny had seen her and knew she wouldn't make it, so he used his super speed and rushed to her, gave her a piggyback ride to her sisters side. She kneeled next to Max. Natalia lay still, a cut was along her right cheek and was bleeding, dirt lay in patches on her face. Joyella looked up, everybody had bruises and cuts, but they were alive, they had won!
