Arazona Chapter Twelve

Chapter 12

"They've retreated General Homestead" one of the control room agents said

"Send the medic teams out" Crystal replied

"What's the damage to the shield" Luke asked

"Completely destroyed, I don't know what we are going to do, without the shield we're vulnerable"

"We need round the clock look out, the whole AMF are to be on alert at all times, we need to be ready, make sure all ships are operational, this fight could take us anywhere" Luke told his sister "Number of deaths" he asked

"143 personnel have been killed and about 200 injured, I'll get the civilian numbers to you as soon as I have them"

"I know one has been injured"

"Who" Crystal asked

"Antonia's Mothers. Maybelle sent me a message"

"Oh god, why is this happening, where is Antonia anyway she's not back yet"

"I don't know but I hope she's ok" Luke said worryingly, Crystal checked the computer,

"Her heart monitor say's she's still alive and as you know they never lie. Have you heard from Father" she asked

"Yes, he's on his way back now" Luke turned and walked away his mind on Antonia.

President Homestead and Seraphina arrived back home and he called a meeting in the dining room immediately

"What's the damage to the shield"

"Completely destroyed, we're going to be without it for a while" Crystal told her Father

"I've got the whole AMF on alert and round the clock look out" Luke informed him

"Also deploy the larger Fighter Ships, I want them orbiting the planet at all times" President Homestead said "How many deaths and casualties"

"143 Personnel have been killed and 200 injured" Crystal said

"And the civilians"

"We just found out 7 dead and hundreds more injured. They are all still in the safety shelters, I haven't given the all clear yet" Crystal looked at her Mother as she spoke

"Good, I want guards on every corner and every street on look out, done in shifts. Also I want the streets cleared before the all clear is given"

"Where's Antonia" Seraphina asked

"I don't know" Luke replied worryingly

"She's still alive" Crystal said "we have eyes on her monitor"

"Then where is she Crystal, she could be hurt for all we know" Luke raised his voice

"Luke she's probably at the safety shelter with her Mother, Jasmine got injured, she'll want to be with her, if anything had happened you would know it by now"

"Jasmine got hurt, oh my how terrible, oh she must come stay with us when this is all over" Seraphina protested

"Seffie honey, let's not be hasty"

"Arnold she lives by herself , how is she going to recover with no one around to help her, I will have the Garner Room made up for her at once" Seraphina said, there was a gust of wind and the doors flew open, Antonia came flying in and landed at the head of the table. Everyone started at her,

"I knew it" Seraphina smiled,

"Antonia" Luke walked towards her "you're...you are...I don't believe it" he stood in front of her staring at her wings "thank god you are ok" he flung his arms around her and pulled her close, Antonia's wings wrapped themselves around them,

"Sorry I guess my wings like you, I'm still getting use to them, but look what I can do" there was a bright light and Antonia's wings disappeared "I can bring them back anytime I want" she said excitedly

"Sweetie that's amazing, how's your Mother" Luke asked

"Very ill, she's in the hospital wing of the shelters, they're going to move her to the hospital once they get the all clear"

"Oh Antonia darling, your Mother will be fine and she is to stay with us while she recovers" Seraphina told Antonia giving her a hug

"Really, are you sure"

"Positive"

"Good to know you're ok Antonia, I hope your Mother gets better soon" President Homestead said as she looked at him,

"Thank you" Antonia replied "I know who distorted the Planets shield and let the Krygons attack" she confessed. Everyone looked at her

"Who did it" Crystal asked

"Fifi"

"Why I am I not surprised" Luke said

"Why would she do that" Crystal asked

"To cause a distraction. She wanted to kill me because I'm dating Luke" she told everyone, Luke gave her a hug

"General Alcatech, make sure Fifi is arrested, she has started a war. The Krygons will be back mark my words" President Homestead said

"Yes sir" replied General Alcatech, he turned to walk away,

"Good luck finding her" Antonia told him

"What do you mean" President Homestead asked

"We got into a fight and after she ran off with the Krygons, I don't know if she is still on the planet or on one of their ships"

"Great just what we need, put all personnel on alert, Fifi Epson is a wanted criminal" President Homestead told Crystal

"Yes Father"

"There's one more thing" Antonia said "Fifi is telekinetic. She's Gifted" she informed everyone

"I'll inform the Gifted and give the Level 5's authorisation to arrest her" General Alcatech said "Antonia I'm upgrading you to Level 5"

"What, why" she expressed

"Because you are Difinity and the most powerful Gifted I know, you've earned it"

"Thank you. Also I think we should arrest Fifi's parents too" Antonia suggested

"Why, Vice-Chancellor Epson is a very respectful and honourable man" President Homestead told her

"It's not him I'm worried about, It's her Mother"

"What about her" Seraphina asked

"In school there was a rumour" Antonia took a deep breath"apparently Fifi's Mother started the Astrithian War"

The shelters where packed, every Arizonian where biding their time with chit chat and helping out those who were injured,

"How's Jasmine doing" Maybelle's Mother asked a her as she joined her family

"She's resting, the doctor said she will be ok" Maybelle sat down as Layton walked towards her,

"Maybelle I just saw Antonia's Mother in the hospital wing, is she ok"

"Yes Layton, she got attacked but she will be ok, what happened to you" Maybelle asked looking at Layton's arm

"Got thrown out of a window, luckily my brother caught me, but I've broken my arm and dislocated my shoulder, been given painkillers to help"

"What do you think you are doing, I am the Vice-Chancellor of Centre City" Vice-Chancellor Epson was saying as he and his wife were being escorted out in handcuffs, Leyton and Maybelle looked over as they were taken out of the safety shelter,

"You don't think Fifi has something to do with what happened do you" Layton asked

"Wouldn't be surprised, especially after that rumour that went around school" Maybelle replied

"What rumour"

"Fifi's Mother apparently started the Astrithian war, but it's never been proven"

Leyton looked at Maybelle shocked.
