Chapter
13
"The
Planet is clear of Krygons President Homestead" Lieutenant Broderick
reported
"Give
the civilians the all clear" he replied
"The
Krygon ships are just outside the planets orbit, our ships have eyes on them,
we will know if they attack again before they reach the planet" Crystal
told her Father, they where sat in his office, Antonia got up to leave
"Antonia
where are you going" President Homestead asked
"To
make sure my Mother gets to the hospital"
"I'm
going with her" Luke stood up
"Luke"
Crystal said "be on guard we don't know what will happen"
"I
will, come on Antonia" they both left the room.
"What
will happen now" Seraphina asked
"There
will be another attack at some point, their main target will be the city"
General Alcatech replied
"We
need to stop them, we can't let this escalate into a fully blown war"
Crystal stated
"There
is only one way to stop them, kill their General and the rest will
surrender" President Homestead told them
"Yes
but Father, their General is elected and impossible to kill and they always
come in army's, we'll never get close enough to strike him"
"I
know Crystal, a battle is the only way at the moment"
"Arnold
we can't risk losing a whole army, these creatures are brutal"
"I
know Seffie, I know, but at the moment, it's the only plan we've got"
President Homestead looked at his wife worryingly.
"You
said you would kill her" the Krygon General spat at Fifi
"Yes,
but it turns out she's the next Difinity" Fifi stood in the middle of the
bridge deck of the Krygon's main ship, a dark and gloomy place if she ever saw
one "I will not stop until Luke it mine"
"That
seems impossible seeing as he's in love with Difinity and not some little
spoilt brat like you"
"General
please" Fifi started
"Please
what, what use are you to us now Miss Epson we can win this fight on our own,
all we needed was the shield deactivating" Krygons closed in around her
"Yes
but I destroyed it instead General, I didn't just deactivate it; at this very
moment there is no active shield, you can attack at any moment" Fifi
smiled, the Krygon General looked at her,
"Clever
one you are, you gave us what we needed to destroy the planet, a planet that is
usually not so easy to attack"
"Yes,
I am on your side General, after Arizona's civilisation is destroyed me and
Luke can rebuild somewhere new and be an ally to your people, all I ask is that
you don't hurt Luke" Fifi pleaded
"I
cannot make that promise, he is loyal to his planet and will do whatever it
takes to destroy us, if you want him alive you must protect him yourself"
"Easier
said than done" Fifi told the Krygon General
"You
two deploy to the planet's surface unnoticed, kill as many gifted as you can, I
want them wiped out before we meet the Arizonian army in battle" The
General said to two Krygons standing nearby, they turned and walked away.
"I'm
glad you're ok Mum, I was really worried" Antonia sat by her Mother's bed
in the hospital
"There's
no need to be worried about me darling, you know that" Jasmine replied
"I
know but I will always worry about you. Seraphina said you can stay with them
whilst you recover"
"That's
very nice of her but I can't do that, I would be a burden otherwise"
"Seraphina
insisted and she won't take no for an answer" Antonia looked at her Mother
"I need to tell you something"
"What
is it Antonia"
"Seraphina
was right, I am the next Difinity"
"Antonia
are you sure" Jasmine sat up a bit
"Yes"
Antonia brought out her wings via the bright light that could hide them,
"Oh
Antonia you make me so proud" Jasmine told her daughter
"The
next Difinity is said to be the most powerful of them all you know" a
woman in the next bed said
"Excuse
me" Antonia asked her
"Something
that my ancestors has been passed down my family for generations " the
woman answered
"The
most powerful you say, are you sure"
"Yes
my girl, you will be the one to kill the Krygon General, the General that has
been around the longest, since before that last Difinity reigned"
Antonia
looked at her Mother.
Antonia took up patrol a few days later
while the Arizonians tried to live their lives as normal as possible,
"How's
it going" Maybelle asked her as she walked by
"There's
a few Krygon's on the planet, one attacked a few of the Gifted yesterday. I
think the Generals sent them to kill us"
"Have
they succeeded"
"Not
yet, the ones they have attacked have proven strong, Shiloh got injured, but
our newest recruit Néana is amazing, she's telepathic and can create masses of
electricity and absorb it, she found out she was Gifted when she got
electrocuted by a faulty wire and absorbed the energy" There was a noise
from a nearby alleyway, Antonia signalled to Maybelle to stay back as she
checked it out, she peered round the corner, she jumped back as a Krygon shot
it's blaster at her. It jumped out, sword ready to cut Antonia down, she drew
her sword and began to fight, the Krygon taking the first swing. Civilians on
the street ran for cover, those already inside watched from the windows,
Antonia fended of the Krygon using everything she knew but it threw her to the
ground,
"Antonia"
Maybelle cried, the ground cracked around the Krygon, Poisonous Vines came
crawling out, climbing their way up the Krygons let, it looked at it, the tip
of one vine stretched out then plunged itself into the Krygons leg, it screamed
in pain as the rest followed and spread throughout its body. It dropped down
dead.
Antonia
stood up relieved she had won. With her back turned another Krygon crept up
behind her out of nowhere, its sword raised to strike her, Maybelle looked in horror,
but before it could act, Luke came out
of nowhere himself, his fire sword blazing bright and blazing hot, he fought off
the Krygon who retreated but not before grabbing Maybelle,
"Maybelle"
Antonia screamed, her wings burst out of nowhere and she flew off after them,
before she could catch up to them, they beamed off the planet. Antonia dropped
to her knees devastated her best friend had been kidnapped.
