The Ones Against Us

CHAPTER 10

The three captains had surrounded the quartet siblings. They were all glancing at each other with a frown.

Furia had declared, "There are four of us."

"Don't worry, the i***t can't fight anyway, so as the frailly blonde chick," Garrett replied, a grin on his lips.

"What did you say just now?!" Cydney exclaimed.

"I can't believe this is where I'm going to die!" Cydee had let out a terrified scream.

"You will unless you're smarter enough to defend yourself!" Zire responded.

Furia then came extremely close to the youngster and handed him three little communication devices, saying,

"We may require your friend's assistance in evacuating everyone else within the building, give these and tell them to put it into their ear,"

With a frightened expression on his face, the youngster gazed at her.

"You wanna die? No right? Just go for it! And when I say run. Run" she muttered with her frigid eyes locked on the boy.

"Leave the three behind... and rely our focus on the energy" Cassius spoke in a sarcastic tone as he scowled at Cydee.

Everyone was pointing their guns at each other, and the moment Furia said run. The young man had taken off from where he was standing and headed towards the school building.

Furia had bailed the concealed weapon from Garrett's fingers as she struck him near the eye after he fired through the boy's route. He grabbed both of her wrists and pounded his forehead against hers, pinning her to the surface and grasping her neck.

She clutched through the man's coat while placing and wrapping her legs around his waist, she whirled around and whacked him in the jawline with the heels of her boot, and mounted on her feet afterwards. As he wiped the blood from his nose and lips, he threw her a lour and a chuckle as he rose up.

"You are one trained soldier, I'm impressed, for a girl like you?", Garrett complimented.

"You know what they say, every innocent face conceals a vicious character." whilst sprinting towards him, Furia remarks.

After taking the rifle from Baron's grip, Zire had busted him in the stomach. Cassius then grabbed his shoulder, and gave him a smash in the cheeks. The two offered a reckless stare at one another other.

The Jovian raised his hands as soon as the g*n's tip was just in front of him, whilst Cydney tentatively grasped the sidearm from the grass and specifically targeted it at Baron.

"Even if I have no idea how to use this thing, I'll shoot you in the face if you take any step further", Cydney exclaimed.

"I'd rather put that down if I were you." He responded.

As soon as Cydee entered the premises, he began looking for his pals. In addition, he scanned every classroom in the building. When the four of them had ran into each other in the hallway, it appeared to be that the three lads were also looking for the boy.

Nazarath and her men, on the other side, are on their way to Gaia and have used a jump point for a faster arrival on Earth.

In his pilot's seat, Nikolai had a big grin on his expression as he watched at the reflection of Droid on the glass before him, while also peering down towards the galaxy.

"She said that, you guys need to put these in your ears for communication, she's just asking for your help to evacuate all of the students and teachers in the building." Cydee had elaborated.

"Okay... but why us?" Jayz questioned, while the three led the small device in each of their ears.

"Look, I'm not sure, so don't ask! I just want to put an end to whatever incident is happening!" The junior replied.

"Stand down." By leveling the weapon at his three nemesis who were seriously injured on the grass, Zire commanded.

Furia then glanced up at the building, browsing for the boy, and as soon as she saw them, she touched the button on her right ear and stated,

"Hello boys, the name is Furia Castelo you're speaking with. Please accept my apologies if the calamities come as a surprise, we're doing everything we can to protect these helpless citizens. Now pay attention because the following voice your about to hear is my brother's."

"Wait, Furia, you didn't give me one, so how come I can hear you?" Cydee had asked.

"Oh, I forgot, before I handed you the three devices, I snuck the micro chip through your ear while you were scared to death. And you absolutely need it", she replied nonchalantly.

"You could have just gave it to me," the young man had said.

"Once I offered it to you you'd deny it." She answered back.

Cydee responded with a shake of his head. Furia then geared her eyes at Zire, encouraging him to talk freely.

"You, the ginger one, or should I say Jayz? Listen carefully. I want you to go and look for the fire alarm button, and after you've found it, don't move until I say so",

"And once I said "now", pull or press the lever or button down. Understood?" The captain enquires. Jayz kept his gaze into the man standing in the meadow with his mouth slightly open. He excused himself and had said,

"...Yeah...hold on for a sec..",

He removed the device out of his ear, glancing on Cydee and asked,

"How did he knew my name?!" he whispered.

The boy shrugged his shoulders in response. Jayz then returned the chip back into his ear as he headed off to pursue the captain's orders,

"Gal and Cope, the blonde and the four-eyed one, respectively. It is your obligation to maintain the citizens to keep moving out of the building and ensure that no one is left behind. Did I make myself clear?", Zire had inquired.

"Got it", the two youngsters had replied.

It took Jayz no time at all to leave the hallway. He chose a different path down the stairs, then turned the other way and kept heading forward. For the fire alarm, his head swiveled left and right as he went looking for it. An eye-catching, bright red container had caught his attention. The fire alarm lever is installed on one of the exterior walls of the structure.

When the sky began to darken, everyone fell into a silence as the ship's shadow filled the abyss from below. As the people from beneath slowly sloped their heads up, a massive capsule with another medium-sized aircraft following closely after.

Furia murmured "She's here...",

The lad swiftly pulled the lever down as Zire instructed, the bell started ringing, and all of the pupils started to worry.

"Everyone on the field!" The advisor had ordered. The Humanoids could see the pupils rolling down the stairs and sprinting through the passageways, as they rushed. Once all of the children were finally out of the facility, it was clear that they were terrified and completely baffled.

A large explosion rocked the campus, the sidewalks, and the community centre.

Furia had yelled, "Everyone take cover!" the members sealed their heads while everybody else did the same. The youths were screaming and crying hysterically. Seeing the teenagers in peril, Zire was reminded of something that happened to him many years ago.

The Matriarch walks up to observe what she's done. Skyscrapers are ruined, main roads are damaged, and the streets are teared apart, her schemes worked flawlessly. Slowly, the individuals c****d their heads to see a female cyborg standing before them.

The Matriarch muttered, "So here is where you've been staying... how disgusting."

"Where's Droid?" In the blink of an eye, Furia snapped whilst glaring at her.

"Would you like to see your father?" Their superior had scoffed,

With the snap of her fingers, Nazarath had a two and a half foot tall bot standing closely beside her. The two towering cyborgs grabbed Droid, forcing him to kneel down as the other grasped his hair, revealing his throat, him facing above. As Nikolai followed, wielding a razor-sharp knife.

After that, Nikolai glanced at her as he handed her the object. She cherished her image reflecting in the blade as she touched it.

Seeing that her surrogate father's life is at risk, Furia took a major step forward, and Nazarath brought the sharp object near his throat as she spoke.

"Ah, ah, ah... not too close my darling...",

With her heart beating, Furia pulled to a stop as she saw the blade on his neck.

To show his respect, Garrett had run up to their superior while clutching through his stomach. The man kneeled and bowed his head, he paused momentarily down in front of her and had said,

"Your Excellency, we've found the energy!",

The Matriarch looked over to Baron, Zire and Cassius who stood in the meadows, she paused briefly before stabbing him in the abdominal with the sharp object.

When they witnessed what had happened, everyone else were stunned and the other teachers blocked the kindergartners eyes.

When Garrett felt the pointed sword pierce his body, flesh began to soak down the back and front of his coat, as well as from the corners of his mouth. He was frozen in place. He couldn't believe what he was seeing, he then took one final glance onto Nazarath and told her,

"Your... Excellency...",

The Matriarch yanked the razor out from his stomach, blood splattered all over the pointy item. His sight had begun to fade away while he collapsed into the ground.

While sending the code to his soldiers, Cassius hid the hologram behind his back in a stealthy manner, his eyes fixed on their superior's direction. Baron and Zire did the same as well.

After placing the Ace of Hearts and the other cards on the deck, Carl raised his arms high in glee of his victory.

"Ha! I finally won! In your face!" he said as he bragged.

"What?! No, you cheated!" Keith demanded.

"No I didn't! I'm just incredibly lucky" Carl touted while he took the 90 bits on the table.

"Okay! That's it! I'm done playing with these cards... I always lose anyway",

"And also, isn't there a task we need to complete? We've been in the station for nearly three days!" Keith had inquired.

"We're not going anywhere unless Cap gives us the orders. Now calm your a*s down." Their Chief Veron had replied.

On his perch, Veron leaned on the back of his chair, his feet resting on the top table, as he stuffed some pudding into his mouth. When a panel showed up on his side and captivated his attention. He then lowered the pudding down while viewing the flashing screen.

A red code showing the location of their Captain's position. When Veron realized what it was, he ordered his troops to move. Bringing their packed bots with them as they made their way to their ship.

"Greer? Feint?" As his voice reverberated throughout the Centaurus station, one of the Jovians crew members exclaimed.

"Over here!" Greer had replied,

They looked down the barrier where the voice came from, and saw the trusty soldiers bound and gagged.

"What happened to the two of you?" one of the soldiers asked.

"Don't ask! Just get us out of here!" Feint had stated. The crew members then did what they were told.

~

The bots and her army had made themselves less visible in the shadows. Hundreds of cyborgs had emerged from each of the aircraft, their weapons in hand.

She quickly sliced off Droid's head, and you could see the wire cuts under his neck. His body then fell to the ground in a heap, his head still intact. Furia hunched in a slow pace as tears started streaming down her face and she clenched her fists, the two Humanoids' eyes narrowed at the sight of their father figure.

"NO!!" Furia, in rage had shouted at the top of her lungs, "YOU b***h!" As she follows.

"He's a traitor, he earned it in any case" Nazarath said as she handed the blade back to Nikolai.

There were police cars around the two massive spacecrafts, and six helicopters above the sky, as the cops were pointing their guns at the female cyborg.

Their superior rolled her eyes as she exclaimed, saying,

"Oh please, just give up already, none of you stand a chance anyway",

"What are your pistols going to do to us after all? They're like miniature weapons that only fire foam darts" she had made a judgment.
