Outnumbered ~ I Am Number Four ~ Invite Only!

Paige laughed and lifted him out of the laundry basket. "Atleast it didn't cause you too much pain." Nothing did, which she was happy for.

[honeybee.]

Richie nodded. He was trying not to cry. "The last time we saw each other I just stormed out of the house like a brat." He said. "I never got to tell her I was sorry."

Erin had led then into a thickly wooded area and continued running until she came to a felled tree which she sat on."I'm sorry Richie. I never should have got you too swim across to us: now Willow is dead and all us garde have lost our protection and we don't even have strong Legacies yet. I should have thought about that and not been selfish."

Sam didn't worry to much about the fact the charm had been broken. He already thought it had been once today and I was obviously going to be broken now he and Apricot had met, wasn't it.

"How else could a charm break though?" She asked, but she stopped herself. "Some of her children are Cepan's. Be quite." She scolded herself. "Does this mean it is time to unite?" She asked quietly, not wanting to her her hopes up. She wanted to see some of the children she came over with. She remembered some of them: One, Three, and especially Two. She remembered having a crush on the goofball, but she didn't know if she still had one. She wanted to see him again: all of them again. She missed having friends and companionship.

Rori emitted a snarl as the ship started to ding. An engine had overworked itself and was now on fire. "Man your stations!" She barked as she jumped into the pilot's seat. "Who the hell put us at maximum speed?" She shouted over the chaos of systems sparking. "No one touched the control but you, ma'am." Bren grunted from the undercarriage. He was trying to fix the problem manually. "Engine 1 is failing, Beta. Engine 2 is about to fail. Trying to get reserve back up and running." Aaralyn answered, sitting at the control desk. She was working on the systems. Nick was with Bren, and Rori heard a lot of curse words. "Brace yourselves!" She cried, as they crash landed in the forest. Rori tried to keep the ship as level as possible to minimize the damages.

Richie shook his head. "It's my fault for leaving Willow and acting like a selfish brat. It's my fault she's dead!" With a yell he punched the tree that was closest to him. His fist went right through. "Who said anything about not strong Legacies?" He said in amazement after a while.

[honeybee.]

Erin stared in shock at the hole in the tree. Then she smiles a little, "Please don't ever punch me." She murmured. She thought for a second, "Maybe I should try and contact some of the others, warn them about the charm being broken." She suggested.

[hilde]

"I would never!" Said Richie. "And yes I think that is a good ide."

Gingko slammed the glass down on the table, then rose to her feet. "That's not how the charm breaks. Two of the Garde have to meet up, that's the only way," she said unhappily. "So, yes. It is time to unite." That was her family Amber was talking about. Gingko didn't want any of them to die, as much as she didn't want Amber to die. Everything she did was to protect her. Her temper only grew when some tumultuous noise sounded from outside. Her first thought was teenagers before she realized it was coming from above.
"They're here," she hissed under her breath. She allowed Amber to keep Gingko's spear, then the Cepan grabbed two large kitchen knives. "We have to get out of here before they notice," she said, even angrier as she reached for the back doorknob. If any idiot showed up looking for Amber, they would get a piece of Gingko's mind.
In their eye.

Icaron was still aboard the Acacia ship, monitoring the progress of his more senior hunting parties. He barely had to keep an eye on Rori's Brigade, they were just that competent. Suddenly an unpleasant noise interrupted the transmission, and Rori's radio cut off with a sound that didn't seem very good. "What is this?" Icaron demanded. Displeased, he turned to his colleagues. "Please leave this room," he ordered sternly, and watched with an impatient glare as the other Mogadorians evacuated the monitoring room.
Icaron temporarily severed all the connections, then waited for Rori's status to come back online. When nothing changed, he began to grow worried. He opened one monitor and replayed the final moments of transmission, but all he could see was panic and was that an engine burning out in the distance? This wouldn't do; this was definitely not happening. Icaron picked up the phone and paged her himself.
"Is everything alright?" he demanded, though he was shouting at a dial tone. "Pick up, dammit! You can't do this to me, you can't just-" his voice broke, and he struggled to keep it steady.
He did not succeed.
"Rori," he whispered, "please."

Apricot took a deep, shaky breath. "Thanks, mom," she muttered grudgingly. Though her voice was as hostile as always, her dark eyes betrayed her sincere gratitude. "Yeah, let's," she agreed with a familiar gleam of violence in her gaze. "The Sam kid seems pretty tough. We will kick some Mogadorian," she proceeded to say swear words for 'rear end' in seven different languages, "and I'll mount Icaron Matthias' head on my bedroom wall!"
Her sinister smile was back and she clapped her hands evilly before running upstairs. But after a second, she walked back down. "I hate you," she told Esme fondly, before walking back up the flight of stairs.

Maple sprinted right into the middle of the city. The Mogadorians did not follow, knowing they couldn't give themselves away, couldn't show the humans that they were murderers. Maple hid in a library, watching the three split up. They were circling around the city's perimeter, one going around each side to try to intercept her at the other end. Bad idea. Maple calculated when the Mogadorians would be at the far other side of the city, and at that very point, she ran back the way she came. Unfortunately she forgot about the third soldier, who raised his sword in a threat.
"No thanks," Maple declined before snapping his neck and taking his sword.
She kept running.
Erin, where are you? she demanded. But she soon found she didn't need to ask. After Erin had communicated with her, Maple could almost feel her mind's presence, and she ran in that very direction. Try to get to the airport. We'll steal some tickets and board the plane. No, don't be guilty. We're going to be saving their planet so three tickets will just count as their advance payment, she said mentally.

Paie literally face palmed and ran towards the call of Alder's scream. She tried her best to hide her smirk at the sight of her beloved Garde stuck on yet another appliance. "Should I even ask?" She laughed as she grabbed the stepladder and put it in front of the washing machine. The story would have to be amusing.

Rosemary thought of another person to ask about. "What about the other ones my age?"

(oops)

"Well Four is really smart but you don't want to make her mad." Said Susannah. "And Nine is nice but always gets in trouble. He and Eight were always causing trouble on the ship. They wouldn't even stop when One beat htem up."

[honeybee.]

Erin had been about to try and contact the other gardes when Maples voice appeared in her head once again. Got it She thought back. "I'll have to try later, we need to head for the airport." She stood up and started to head that way. "Watch out for Mogs, and keep your weapon ready but don't scare any humans" She started running in the direction of the airport.

[Amberlight]

"That sounds like fun," Rosemary replied. "I hope that we'll all get to see eachother soon." Well, kind of and not really. Stayin apart kept them safe, but it would be nice to see them all again. And Rosemary bet that One would feel better when they all met up so she didn't have to be the first killed.
