"SAY THE TRUTH! YOU WERE THE ONE THAT KILLED TATSUO!" Nico screamed furiously in Saras face.

Sara was trembling, still from witnessing Tatsuos death:" I-I-" She couldn't get a single word out of her mouth, surprised being given the fault.
Also even she hated being given the fault, like her father did to her, she didn't defended herself.

They were all now in the base, all of the Chaos defenders. Having a fight more than a discussion.

"SEE?! SHE DOESN'T SAYS ANYTHING!" Nico turned to the others "SHE WAS THE ONE THAT DID THIS!"
he turned back to her growling dangerously "She.killed.Tatsuo."

The others had enough , Akro started going between the two:" Hey,hey! Nico! We don't know if she was it really! So leave her alone!"

"Yeah, Nico! Leave her alone! She wasn't the one." Hazel went next to her, Sara saw the determination in his eyes.
She saw Azuro going by her side too:"Yeah and Nico, stop growling and threaten her! How can you be so sure?!" Sara was thankfully having some of the team comrades by her side.

As Sara looked at her siblings she saw all of them looked away, trying not to make eye contact. And as she looked at the others from the team, they all looked away too. And saw Blacknight doing the same thing too.

I was expecting this. But Blacknight? Is he not by my side...? So he wants to say that-

Aurora shook her head:" But guys think clearly!" Aura looked in the direction of the ones that were protecting the cat:" If Lethal really killed Tatsuo, he would do the same to Sara! But why didn't he do it?"

Sara didn't wanted to say the truth and what Lethal said to her.

They would think that I'm crazy!

"So , Sara." Started Aurora again and starred in her eyes " Why didn't he killed you?" Now where all looking to her, some of them sorrowful, some of them angry and some of them didn't even looked at her, but she shut her mouth, she didnt know why, her eyes getting wet.

Nico started getting aggressive again:" I SWEAR IF YOU STAY ANY LONGER THERE SAYING NOTHING-" He layed his ears back and started growling dangerously deep while approaching her. He pushed the ones that were next to her:"Hey, leave her alone!" shouted Azuro.

Sara backed up startled while closing her eyes, and Hazel, having the fastest reflex of all, then went before her:"LEAVE HER ALONE!" His arms were wide open protecting her, Sara opened back her eyes as she heard those words and was surprised seeing Hazel before her.

"GET OUT THE WAY HAZEL! SHE'S A TRAITOR! DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?! SHE KILLED TATSUO! SHE WORKED FOR LETHAL ALL ALONG!"

Akro was tired of hearing this all about Sara, and he pushed Nico back. What surprised Sara, but she knew between Akro and Nico was a deep friendship:" STOP IT! Nico! Don't you hear yourself?!" His voice was sorrowful.

Nico shook his head, but his voice went silently, still growling, saying the following words:" Ok, if you're all so stupid, you have now to decide 'leader'." Sara panted heavily, seeing Nico looking in her eyes dangerously "It's me" and looked back in Akros eyes "Or her."

Akro couldn't say anything:" I-"

Sara took all her courage and moved herself in the direction of the two, "Sara-" Hazel's eyes were worried, and Sara nooded, wanting to say that 'it's ok'.

She went between both and said:" Ok, if you want so, then.. It's rather me! But please." She looked in Nicos eyes doleful "stop fighting because of me."

Nicos growling stopped and he slowly leaned to her:" Than, being the deputy of the Chaos defenders. I banish you from the Chaos defenders base and property, don't dare ever show yourself again."

The group gasped, whispering around her.

Nico bared his teeth:" And if you dare come back, you'll feel my anger."

"ENOUGH! I-" Sara lifted her arm, stopping Akros sentence, " It's fine Akro." In her eyes formed new tears, she wiped her tears away ,but new tears started showing up "I can't say anything about this, so I have to accept the consequences." Being that the last words she had to say, she ran out of the base, hearing some voices shouting her name after her.

But she didn't care, more than the half of the crew shut their mouths when she needed them most.

They all hate me! I knew it! I don't mean anything to them! They all think I'm a monster. Maybe I am...

Her eyes started glowing, one red, one blue. Red particels started floating around her.

She started sobbing, while running in the direction of the forest. She just wanted to be alone now.
"SARA!" She heard her name being shouted, she knew who it was but ignored it " SARA WAIT! IT'S ME! VANESSA!"

"GO AWAY!" Shouted she back, "OR I WILL HURT YOU TOO!" Ended she her sentence, but didn't really mean it.

"BUT I'M ON YOUR SIDE SARA!"
The older sister stopped,but didn't turned to her smaller sister. Tears falling from her cheek, but her mind filled up with anger:"Than why didn't you stood up for me, Huh?" She said that while growling and hissing angrily.

"I-I couldn't! I'm too small and young! No one would take me seriously! Like always, B-but I know you're not guilty! I saw Tatsuos wounds, and when you said that Akro gave you one of his claws, I knew that the most of them would give you the fault. But they are blind! Akros claws are too small and short for those deep wounds that went through his body!"

Saras tail was weeping:" OH TOO SMALL AND YOUNG?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?! DIDN'T YOU SEE HAZEL!" She turned to her sister."That poor sweet child stood up for me! And he also risked to be thrown out of the team! He protected me faster even than Akro from Nico!" Tears started rolling again down her cheek."Hazel deserves better than me. He deserves a protector, not a dangerous monster."

As Sara looked again up at Vanessa her expression was startled:" Hey is everything alright? Is it because I screamed?" The white haired girl asked worried. Vanessas ears laid back scared. Sara noticed she wasn't looking at her directly, so she knew something or someone was behind her.

Before she could turn a deep voice could be heard:" Aww, you got kicked out, kitten." She rapidly turned and backed up, knowing that only one person gave her such a nickname.

Lethal continued:"If you want ,you could join us kitten."
"I would never."Responded she hissing "because of you TATSUO DIED!"
"Well, he was unlucky being there alone." Shrugged he uninterested.

She saw he wasn't alone, there were 2 more mobians on his side. Both the same species as herself, cats.
One was grey with darker stripes and had familiar green-yellow eyes.
And the other was black with white spiky hair. In the blacks cats hair was a precious yellow stone shining. But was shaped weird.

Don't tell me he has powers...

"Oh, let me introduce you to my two new friends. This," ttye dingo pointed his thumb to the black cat "Is Astray the cat, and this one is 'M' the cat" He showed with his eyes in the grey tabbys direction.

M eyed Sara:" Hmpf, smaller than I thought, this so said chosen ones." His pupils narrowed, still eyeing at the two girls.

She saw Astray also starring her little sister, but his expression was differently than M's.

"Vanessa stay behind me." Sara took the arm of her sister and dragged her behind herself.

She started trying activading and by her surprise she managed to do so:"Leave us alone Lethal! Or you'll-"

"OR what kitten-?" The enemy laughed in deride.

She started overheating her palm again and a huge blue energyball formed in her palm. She then threw it in front of the boys, and it exploded in an explosion of energy.

They jumped surprised back, "Woah, easy there." Heard Sara, one of the cats hissing mockingly. She saw M weeping with his tail in irritation:"Oh nevermind, IT'LL BE A JOY KILLING YOU! SUCH A POWERFUL BEING-" He swinged himself while taking his long katanas out. She fastly formed other two energy balls to prevent him from attacking her and her sister.

He was hit by one of then, fell down and backed immediately again up.

She tried forming some enegry balls again in despair. Suddenly, she heard again the voice of the white cat

Try to combine your hands for one second, than you'll form a attack named
'Blue burst'.

But it was too late, M was too near for her to use it, if she would do it ,not only herself would get hurt, her little sister would too. So she pushed her sister down and dodged fastly as possible at the same time.

One of his katanas striked her shoulder, but she didn't let a sound out of her mouth even she wanted to scream out because of pain. His Katana were very sharp, dripping with her blood.

Sara than tried to use the attack that the white cat told her:" TAKE THIS!" She than throwed a huge blue what faded into now crimson light energy and managed to hit the tabby and he fell on the floor. Sara panted and felt how her energy was becoming less and less in her body.

She saw him slowly getting up, but with a burn on his hand, he let his katana fall as he wanted to take it from the pain. As he looked up she saw how a part of his face was burned , but his face expression was harted pure and he hissed in Saras direction.

And Sara threw again a ball, but smaller than the one before in their direction.
And with that, she managed to chase them away, "You'll gonna pay for this-" hissed M, while Lethal bared his teeth. Astray just followed silently.

Sara felt weakly and fell on knees on the grass, "SARA! ARE YOU OK? THAT WAS AWESOME!" Said Vanessa exited.

Sara panted:" T-thank you. But it's safer if you would go back to the base. Come, I'll accompany you." She stood up, her legs trembling.

Vanessa immediately went before her:" HEY, WAIT! NICO SAID YOU AREN'T ALLOWED IN THE BASE ANYMORE!" Her expression was troubled."And he said if you-"

Sara stopped and looked in her eyes:" Hey, I'm just bringing you there, nothing more. Just want you safe. And if Nico wants a fight, he will get one, nobody will make me stop making sure you're alright."

Saras expression went from exhausted to serious "Now come, let's make this quick before I actually pass out." She went in the direction of the base, still trembling but determined, supported by her sister.
