Arazona Chapter Eleven

Chapter 11

"Right we will be back in a few days, remember what I've taught you over the years and you can contact us whenever you need" President Homestead told Luke as he and Seraphina were ready to leave,

"Dad I'll be fine, besides I've got lots of training to do anyway, everything should be fine" Luke replied giving his father a hug before hugging his Mother,

"Tell Crystal we say goodbye, it's a shame she had to go straight to the office this morning, it's not the same without you both here to say goodbye"

"Seffy sweetheart , they are both grown up and have jobs, we will see you when we get back Luke" President Homestead made his way out of the house followed by Seraphina.

     "Hey Beautiful" Luke said to Antonia as he came up behind her in the Hatchback Simulator,

"Hey, you ready to go" Antonia asked him

"Sure am" he kissed her

"Right everyone follow my lead" General Alcatech said, he nodded to the simulators control room and the room turned from a metal container to a desert battle field, simulated Voxhalls ran towards, the Gifted readied themselves and began to fight, Luke taking the first shot with a fireball.

Fifi lurked behind a rock in the desert, she looked at the two guards at the entrance to the shield, all she had to do now was wait for the Krygons signal; she sat there plotting her way to the door without been seen so she could surprise the guards with her kill. There was a sudden flash of red in the sky,

"What was that did you see it" one of the guards said, he turned around to see his friend drop dead to the ground, he checked for a pulse before being unable to breath himself. Fifi walked up to him

"Fifi" he choked

"Sorry Les, but this is something I need to do" Fifi replied and Les dropped to the ground. She stepped over him and opened the door with her power. Skipping down the tunnel she relished in her kill and couldn't wait for the next one, being Antonia. She got to the desk and instead of pushing the off button she ripped the whole thing apart

"That should keep the shield down for a while" she laughed.

"Antonia look out" General Alcatech shouted as a simulated Voxhall came at her, she cut it down with a lightning bolt then cut down another two that came her way. An alarm suddenly went off and the simulator dissolved back into the metal room,

"What's going on" one of the Gifted women said, everyone looked around in silence not knowing what was going on

"The shield is down. Krygons are attacking the planet. All units on my command" Crystal said over the communication devices. They all ran from the simulator and readied themselves along with the rest of the AMF,

"Crystal has gone down to the find out what's happened down there, Units 8 and 9 have already deployed in the fighter jets, Lance Punktons Gifted team have made their way into the desert along with half the AMF soldiers, we are to go into the city and hold of the Krygons there and to get the Civilians to the safety shelters" General Alcatech spoke to the remaining Gifted "Let's Move"

"Yes sir"

They made their way in to the city to find it was still quiet

"They haven't gotten to the city yet" Antonia stated

"It's only a matter of time before they do, we have to move fast, let's go" Luke shouted

"Lieutenant Broderick take your unit and head downtown take the Sin sisters with you" General Alcatech said, Broderick nodded and moved his unit downtown along with the Sin sister. Everyone else moved through the streets knocking on doors, entering shops and making sure Arizonians where making their way to the safety shelters. Antonia soon made it to her street and ran to find her Mother

"I'll meet you later, I'm going to make sure my Mum and Maybelle make it to the safety shelters" Antonia told Luke

"Ok, I've got to head back to base anyway, I'll see you later" he kissed her before she ran off

"Commander Lockwood take my place General Alcatech knows I need to head back to base" Luke told a tall broad man who nodded, Luke nodded back as a fighter ship came to pick him up"

     Antonia ran up the stairs of her Mother's building  calling out her name,

"Mum, Mum"

"Antonia darling so good to see you, is everything alright" Jasmine said as she walked onto the stairwell

"No, the planets under attack you need to get to your safety shelter now" Antonia told her, Jasmine nodded, she grabbed an emergency bag from inside the door and made her way down the stairs, Antonia pressed a red button that alerted the whole building to make their way to the safety shelters

"Antonia what's going on" Maybelle asked as she saw Antonia and Jasmine coming down the stairs

"We're under attack by Krygons" Antonia told her, there was a sudden blast which hit the wall. Antonia turned to see a Krygon standing on the stairs, it was tall with broad butch body, it's back was shaped like a backpack, it had razor sharp teeth and nails and carried two swords, a blaster gun and a whip. Krygons were strong nasty terrifying creatures, who knew the ways of torture, they were feared by everyone who knew of their existence.

     Antonia stood there scared she had never seen a Krygon before; it roared at her and she knew what she had to do, she created a lighting ball and through it at the Krygon as it was about to shoot again killing it. Another one jumped out at her, she drew her sword and fought it, using kicks and flips and twist and other techniques she had learnt during training, she turned it to ice then cut it down,

"Let's move" she yelled as they ran down the stairs and out of the building. They ran down the street dodging and ducking out of the way of the violence that had reached the city, Antonia fought and cut down more Krygons before one attacked her Mother,

"Mum" Antonia ran to her

"I'm ok darling, I'm ok" Jasmine told her, but she was bleeding heavily from the abdomen,

"We have to get her to the shelter" Maybelle's Father said, Antonia knew he was right. She looked at her Mother and gave a weak smile as a tear rolled down her cheek,

"Ok. Here Maybelle take this" Antonia gave Maybelle a gun "just in case"

Maybelle terrified took the gun and nodded

"I'll come see you at the shelter before I head back to base" she told them before running in the same direction as the Krygon that had attacked her Mother. She followed it down a few streets then into an alleyway and up on top of a building. As she reached the roof the Krygon had disappeared. She looked over the edge of the building but it was nowhere in sight,

"Hello Antonia" a voice behind her said,

"Fifi" Antonia said as she turned around

"I hope you like what I've done with place, you see a few friends of mine wanted to go on a little killing spree" Fifi told her

"You, you let them in, you turned off the shield"

"I didn't turn it off, I destroyed it" she have an evil smile

"Why" Antonia asked

"Well so the Krygon's could get in silly"

"Fifi, why did you let them in"

"To distract everyone else, you see Antonia I have a little problem, someone's been dating the man I want to marry and I'm not ok with that and that person is you"

"Fifi, Luke does not want to marry you, no one does" Antonia told her

"All those men I slept with do, shame I don't want to marry them"

"Fifi none of those men want to marry you, all they wanted was sex and they knew they'd get it because you're that bloody easy"

"Well at least I've slept with a man unlike you" Fifi snapped

"You're wrong there, me and Luke have sex practically every night and have done for months, you know what make that a year. We are serious about each other Fifi, I love him and there's nothing you can do about it" Antonia said in a matter of fact voice

"You bitch, I don't know what he sees in you, your noting, his father will never accept you" Fifi shouted

"Actually President Homestead quite likes me, so does Seraphina, the marriage law hasn't changed yet but Luke thinks it will soon, if not we will wait until he's president" Antonia told Fifi

"That's it, I've had enough" Fifi began to choke Antonia with her power

"Your...your gif...." Antonia tried to speak but couldn't

"Yes, I'm gifted, and no one will ever know because you will be dead. Goodbye Antonia, enjoy death" Fifi through her off the building. She stood there for a few minutes then laughed

"I did it, I did it, yes" she jumped up and down celebrating. Suddenly an unknown shadow emerged from behind her, she turned around to find Antonia in min air, strong large Dragon like wings attached to her back glided behind her

"You have got to be kidding me" Fifi screamed

"Believe it bitch, I never even hit the ground" Antonia grinned and flew straight at Fifi, vines coming out if her hands.
