Chapter Six-The Fight

CHAPTER SIX-THE FIGHT

“NOOO!!!” Red shoved her family out of the room and shut the door, then bolted it so they couldn’t get back in. She couldn’t protect them all at the same time, so she had to get them out of harm’s way. She would never let the ones she loved get hurt because of her. Besides; She didn’t have enough power to fight. She didn’t even know if she could protect herself. The ship started shooting green, round, golf-ball sized lasers, blasting holes in the walls. Red used her light powers and put a shield around the door and her, blocking lasers from both. She rolled and dodged as her shield got weaker. She had not used her powers in a long time, and she was regretting it now. One of the green bolts shot out the side of the room where the glass wall used to be, bouncing off all of the buildings, recreating the whole scene with the green orbs earlier. Now she knew what those were-Lasers. As she fought, she wondered why no one in the kingdom was out in the street, why it was silent-almost deserted-outside. Looking again, she saw a dog frozen in his tracks, not moving. It clicked. Time was frozen outside of the castle! But what sort of mechanism could do that sort of thing? She dodged a close call that singed some of her long hair, reminding herself who she was dealing with-Evil mystics and Aliens. Finally, her shield was gone. She tried to put up a water shield, but that didn’t work. The lasers went right through it, narrowly missing her. Finally she put up a huge fire shield, because it was the only thing so far that would repel the lasers. She ran up to the ship head on, shooting water and fire to try to fry the circuits. That didn’t work. Next she brought in big boulders and trees and rocks and tried to bombard the ship. The entry hallway was huge, but barely bigger than the ship. She tried to bring in bigger things from outside to throw at it. Nothing was working! She then tried to do her ultimate attack, the one her mother had taught her. She took one blast from each power, and then locked them together. She hurled the blast that was bigger than two thrones, but the ship put up a strange white shield she had never seen before. ` All the stress of what was going on had pretty much drained her of power. She should have known she wouldn’t have been able to fight them. Today alone she had already found out her best friend was evil, faced hurricane-like storms and used her powers secretly to save the people involved. That had pretty much drained her by itself. Then she had to go find her daughter and had to put up transparent shields for both of them, then for the rest of her family when they got there, and more. She was in no shape to battle. The door suddenly burst open. King Ferdinand jumped in, and saw Red in trouble. He tried to help by dragging her out, but Troyan had other ideas. He shot him with a stun laser. He wasn’t evil, just scared of this queen. He wasn’t going to kill someone who wasn’t involved. Just then, all six little girls ran into the room, Starlight being carried by Terra. “GET OUT!” Troyan yelled, trying to scare them away. He didn’t dare shoot at them, because they were earth young ones and he didn’t know what the lasers would do to them. Red got up off the ground and tried to use air to blow them out, but she had run out of power. This would be her last resort, her final chance to save them. Her eyes clouded over. She let out a shrill, alarming scream that froze everyone, even the shiHer hair and dress blew around her in the sudden wind. Her arms were raised up. She shone all by herself, radiant and bright. A glowing, white orb of pure energy formed in her hands. Troyan saw his chance. He shot the original thin beam of blue light at her. She jumped, throwing the energy into the ground. The room was engulfed in light...pure light, pure energy. Somehow the aliens couldn’t see it. The white orb broke into six different orb colors. They were green, a foggy-clear color, Red, Dark Blue, Black, and Yellow. Somehow all of the orbs seemed to be invisible to the aliens. Red fell to the ground, lifeless. The orbs circled above her head, then shot out to the girls. One stopped in front of each one of them, then plunged into them, like the girls had absorbed them. The green one went to Terra, the red one to Pyris, the foggy one to Aryana, the dark blue one to Aqua, the black one to Midnight, and the yellow one to Starlight, who was still in Terra’s arms. A huge beam of light shot down from the ship, lifting Red’s body off of the ground and into the ship, gone forever. The only thing she left behind was a letter, sealed with the royal seal, in red, with the initial R.
