Yeesh this one was a long one! Thanks to mom and my crazy imagination, this was 17 pages on the Word! I found this one both amusing and sort of heart breaking. What I also realized is that Stella, Skittles, Carlos and Jordan have some stuff in common.

1. They all have siblings that are captured

2. They all had one or more family members lost

Well that's all I came up so far. Number 2 actually does give me an idea for the chapter after the next. That chapter is pretty much a battle. And I know I star most of my stories with either Kit or Vi. Duh. Sorry can't help ya there. I like the characters. Also here are some answers to Stormgirl415's questions in the reviews:

I never stated this but after the explosion at the power plant, the boys: Carlos, Zyx and Jordan fell in the warehouse area. Instantly Carlos had a mental connection with Saturn Girl and found them. He and Jordan tried to get to the lock but an electric field basically was blocking them. Soon the girls: Skittles, Stella and Oblinara arrived and Skittles and Stella tried to run to their brothers and were thrown backwards by the electricty.

Also Stormgirl415 asked what happened with Shrinking Violet and Drew. Why did I silence them now? Well you see that cage that most of the Legion is in. It couldn't fit all'em in so they split up the Legion. Here the first three Legionnaires to be set free are: Phantom Girl, Bouncing Boy, and Matter Eater Lad. In the next chapter, Blok, White Triplicate Girl :not all three of them just white: and XS's cousin, Impluse are set free. :I thought that after reading the Comic book, one of them had Impluse guest staring inside a video game where he is stuck there till he has control of his powers. In my story he is basically forced out of the game and is captured as well. He doesn't know about XS till the next chapter. The cage that he is held in is odd, though.: Also I told you all that some famous people like Jordan's Dad and Tinya's mom are captured. Well so is Officer Dox's squad and she's undercover. She will be appearing in the next chapter as well as another character. I wonder how Skittles is going to re act towards her. Huh.

If you read the end of chap 7 you'll see where Vi is being kept. Drew on the other hand was blasted somewhere with his friend, Redlo who controls water. They'll appear on and off again and again yet they won't be reunited with the gang till later in the story. It's unknown where those dingdongs are.

P.S I find that the end of this chapter is a bit ironic cause of the sudden change in Skittles. Hehehehehe. It's funny. Also for the past one or three chaps I have been spelling Aerial wrong.

Alright I'll shut up now. I talk to much!

-LadyProtecta Out!

The seven set off to avenge their family and friends imprisonment. Lois examined each child carefully. The two-mage cousins that flew above her felt it was their duty to help those who had aided them for so long. Magic pulsed through their veins, down their arm and to their fingertips.

She looked at the other four, who had to leave their imprison siblings in order to protect one of their friends.

Skittles’s eyes had a mixture of courage, fear, rage and hope. Lois could sense that the young girl whose life had caused this chaos was throwing herself into battle once more, this time for everything she had lost against her enemies. The warrior had to loose her birth parents lives, leaving her dearest older brother who too had a scar of shame still marked upon his head and the thoughts of her dearest twin brother and older sister who were not with her.

Jordan looked like he was ready for another mission. He, Zyx and Obi were one of the youngest and important allies that the Legion had given gratitude for their assistance. But this time they needed him and his small band of young rescuers to save them. Jordan had lost his loving mother at the age of five to a sickness that could kill many Durlans. She died, giving birth to his baby sister. She had given her life to death in exchange that her daughter would live to see this world. He was separated from Clyista during the explosion, not knowing if she was still alive. And now his older hero brother and his rich but humble father were in the filthy clutches of those greedy villains.

Stella, the youngest of this small band of outcasts, had always had that brother-sister love with her oldest sibling, Rokk. Though they had fought a lot, she had always stood by him and supported him through the dark times. He told her that about eight years ago he had left to seek out a life of adventure and high hopes to rise and bring his family out of the poor house. And he did. About three years later the month, after her birth her other older brother Pol and their parents had pasted away after a raid of rouge magicians came into their town and caused chaos and confusion. Cosmic boy saved his little sister from this nightmare and left her in the care of their old grandmother. When she was at least two years old, her grandmother’s life had ended. Not wanting to lose his sister again, Rokk had begged the Legion to let her live with them. She admired everything her brother had given to her, despite his pompous nature. She knew that he was right about send her and her friends away in order to protect Skittles. Now she wanted to repay him for everything.

Lois noticed Carlos who was at least two years older than Stella. He was the small and boy version of Saturn Girl. He had short blond hair and had pink eyes that were a bit darker than hers. They grew up in a rich family like Jordan’s. He could still remember that his sister told him on the day she left her home that something was calling her. It was the year after a tragic death occurred. Like Stella, Carlos and Imra had lost their sister Jancel to a mental illness that affected her brain. Imra said that she wanted to go on that adventure, that was what Jancel would want her to do. And she became a hero and his idol. And yet something inside Carlos that Lois could not predict, had hurt him. It was as if a painful memory of some sort was clawing at him. He had lost his childish look and looked as if he wanted to seek revenge on someone who had caused this painful memory. Only the siblings of the Legion knew what it was, but they would never say it.

The small group came upon a rock bridge that connected the two mountains together. Below was an endless abyss. One false move and they were goners. Stella and Carlos boarded Jordan who had turned into a hawk the size of Spike. Skittles turned to Lois. Her left glove twinkled and out popped out a broom that had an emerald vine twisted around it rough and wooden handle.

“Here, I don’t need it, but you will need it. Obi will show you how to use it.”

“But what about you?”

“I’ll cross the bridge.”

Skittles then turned and began to walk while the other swiftly flew over her. They landed only to see the horror of the bridge crumbling beneath the warrior’s feet. She began to fall. Suddenly she began leaping up each stone that was above her head until none were left. She then summoned her daggers that glowed in the moonlight and stabbed the side of the mountain. She hung on and one by one she used her weapons to climb the steep mountain. Zyx flew down with Jordan and lifted her up to safety.

“Don’t ever do that again,” Lois said.

Skittles rolled her eyes and grinned. “Ok, Miss Lane, you go with Jesters Carlos and Stella,” she said.

Stella looked at her. “Do you know how to use a blaster?” she asked.

Lois nodded; she used many types of blasters and all that other stuff when Superman was trying to save her.

“Good we’ll steal one for you,” said Carlos.

“We then we’ll split up with you Miss Lane and you’ll be with Bouncing Boy and Matter Eater Lad,” said Stella.

“You’ll also need to find metal for Mel to eat,” added Obi.

“We’ll fight off all the Aerial guards, then we’ll go and rescue Phantom girl,” said Zyx.

“Skittles and I will steal back Brainy’s disks and basically fight,” said Jordan shrugging.

Carlos, Stella and Lois headed through the ventilation shafts. It was dark and cold in there. Carlos and Stella hacked away at the metals that they could find. They had recently had stolen a blaster for Lois who had it’s sheath on her belt.

“This is it,” said Stella as she lifted the vent up. They jumped out and saw Chuck pacing in his cage while his comrade, Matter Eater Lad laid weakly in his bubble. He looked up to see Stella and Carlos holding an armful of metal and a woman standing next to them.

“Stella! Carlos!” Chuck yelled. Matter Eater Lad looked up as Lois broke his cage with her laser.

“I’m Lois Lane if any of you boys are wondering,” she said, as Stella and Carlos rushed over to Matter Eater Lad and slowly fed him the metal that they had gathered for him. Lois blasted BB’s cage and he stepped out.

“You guys are alright?” he asked.

“Yea, but how did you get captured again?” Asked Stella.

“I went out to go look for you after we found the Legion’s ship. It should be good now. I left the younger kids in the care of the 10 year olds and 9 year olds plus Star Boy.”

“We came to rescue you. We found the most of the other Legionnaires in a Warehouse a crash landed a few days before. Now we need to get out.”

“Ok, but where’s Zyx, Skittles, Jordan and Obi?”

“Jordan and Skittles, the Grounders, are somewhere in the base, fight. Oblinara and Zyx, our Aerial magicians are outside fighting the aerial guards.”

“Best we be splitting up now, we need to go steal back Brainy’s Com 1047 and assist Obi and Zyx in freeing Phantom Girl. We can manage on our own,” said Carlos as he summoned his scooter from his storage gem that Skittles had given each of them earlier before the crossed the bridge.

“You guys? On your own?” asked Matter Eater Lad.

“Uh we have powers too you know,” grinned Stella as she got on her pink bike with training wheels and rode off in another direction with Carlos.

“They’re actually pretty good. They fought off a robot giant,” said Lois.

“Them?” Bouncing Boy and Matter Eater Lad exchanging glances.

Obi swiftly dodged the fires that flew at her. She shook her head as she jumped and swung around her broom with one hand still holding it.

“Those bozos have no idea what their up against,” howled Zyx as he zipped right by her and created a shield spell for her.

“Magic can only defeat magic,” she yelled as she summoned a hailstorm spell. “Malicisioun!” She chanted.

Dark thick clouds hid the starry night sky and ice balls the size of soda cans pummeled from the heavens above them. Zyx position his spell shield above her. The raging ice storm ended and more enemies were coming at them.

“Magica Obsisstious!” yelled Obi.

Magic pulsed through her veins and channeled into her wand. Let out a cry of rage she released the condemned magic from her wand and blinded the enemy.

The battle between technology and magic was like the fearful battle that happened two hundred years ago. Superman called it, World War II. At that time, the world was nothing but a battlefield for these warring lands. Up in the air, enemies fought to stay in flight and to shoot down the other like a goose. They would fly into thick dark clouds of the night with nothing but the dark moon as their guiding light. They would bomb cities filled with innocent people and in the process, find the enemy. It was like finding a needle in a haystack. Once they found each other, they would go at it, pelting the sky with bullets. When one enemy went down, the remaining pilot would stare out of cockpit as his enemy would jump out of the free falling flaming plane and shoot out his parachute. The pilot would have a motive for shooting down the guy but his instincts would force him to spare the heartless fool’s life and move on into the clouds to assist his fellow in fighting off another enemy. His mind could only feel the glory and heroism he would receive when he got home…back to his home where is family awaited them. He would think of his kids. How much have they grown? His wife must have been worried about him. He longed for that good old hearty dinner she used to make. Yet he had a job to do and had to put these sweet thoughts aside as he continued on his way.

At least 2000 years later, it was somewhat else now. A battle between powers, magic and technology. But it was an unusual battle, a battle that involved a child who because of her innocent and curiosity had become the core of this war of good and evil, had a deadly price to pay for her arrogance three years back. And now Oblinara and Zyx, two very young mages who weren’t even a decade years old had to fight these low down scoundrels who had caused their friend pain and suffering.

Obi watched as the last of the aerial guards fell to the endless pit bellow. She sighed in relief of her duty as the wind blew through her dark curly red hair. She wondered how Jordan was doing. Was he all right? She feared that the villains might have taken his good-hearted soul. His smile, his emerald green eyes, they made her feel happy. Being around him, she felt safe and calm. She looked over at the towering base that must have at least a thousand, maybe more floors. It bled evil inside and out. Every corner you turned, there would be danger.

And Jordan and Skittles, the choose to be the Grounders, the most courageous task in this team. You had to be brave, strong, fearless, and have the heart of a daredevil to be a Grounders. You could fly, but you were mostly fit to fight on the ground. And those maniacs, the ones who were suppose to be the most mature, found that being a Grounder was excellent for them. Yet didn’t Skittles know that she was the core of this war and that she was once again vulnerable to be captured again? What about Jordan? He wasn’t as strong as Chameleon Boy! Yet young as they are, they were stubborn and brave.

Anita Yang Connel, who had now taken up her two older siblings last names and dubbed herself Anita Yang Connel Digsby Dox, had been trained as a baby to fight in wars and had continued to train even through her trials of shame and agony. Many people knew that Keondes, which had stubbornly did not want anything to do with the United Planets, was populated with samurais, mages, spirits, alchemists, and warriors.

Keondens hated the word “ninja” even though many of their warriors acted as the Japanese warriors, only they were much more skilled in combat and seemed to just dance around their enemies as they would helplessly try to strike these warriors only to fall into their deadly trance of death as they attacked them.

Oblinara and Zyx flew into the base to assist Stella and Carlos with reviving Phantom Girl.

“Bout time, Carlos is checking in with Phantom Girl to see if she’s ok,” said Stella, tapping her foot and blowing air through her teeth. Carlos’s eyes lit up light pink like his sister’s as he focused on the stone statue of Phantom Girl.

“Tinya… are you there?”

“Ugh… Carlos? Wait… you’re here? Aren’t you suppose to be-“

“Captured, no. We got out yet we’re separated from the group. I have good news and bad news. Good news one, your little brother, Tito is okay and fine. Good news two is that, we’re here to rescue you.”

“You guys? Never mind. Give me the bad news.”

“ Your mom is also captured and we got separated from the group. ”

“Great…”

“Anyways. Zyx and Obi are here to bust you out!”

“Great…um how’s Brin?”

“Uh he’s tied up but other than that he’s doing great!”

“Oh god! GET ME OUT OF HERE!”

“She’s going crazy,” sighed Carlos, “Go for it.”

Zyx was already drawing a huge circle around the Stone Phantom Girl while his cousin drew strange markings. They placed a Healing Aurora next to Phantom Girl to heal her instantly.

“Noacaus mus Titrous! Zakonomus turesteous! Reviounus!” They chanted.

A flash of light and slowly did her lifeless rough skin turn into peach colored skin. Tinya gasped as a rush of fresh air filled her lungs again. She squealed with joy and hugged the four.

“Hey! Hey! Easy there!” yelled Zyx as he squirmed.

“Just imagine what Brainy would say when we tell him we used magic to free one of his teammates,” said Obi, giggling.

“I heard that!”

They all turned around to the Legion once again had tracked them down and went to check up on them.

“Where is my sister?” Brainy demanded.

“Chill Querl,” said Phantom Girl.

“Actually he has a right to spaz out about his little sister,” said Obi, giving a nervous laugh.

“What do you mean?” Tinya arched her eyebrow.

“Skittles is the cause of why you guys are captured.”

“What? No way.”

“Yes way. Skittles has the Valkyrie code stuck in her head.”

“No way. My mom is going to freak! She told me that Dr. Connel kept it in a safe place. And that safe place…is his kid?”

“Now, now,” said Zyx, “She says it was her curiosity that caused this to happen three years ago.”

“Seems like everything is happening three years ago,” grumbled Stella.

“Stella, where is Skittles and Jordan?” Cosmic boy asked.

“They’re trying to steal back some stuff that the villains took from HQ. Kit believes they took the Com 1471 blaster Brainy had created and some of his files as well. She and Jordan are also basically going to raid the place and fight off the bad guys.”

“You want to talk to them?” asked Carlos.

“Yes,” Brainy said, flatly. Zyx plugged in a tracer for the headsets. A map of the base suddenly appeared on the computer, while Stella and Phantom Girl kept watch of the door.

“Trace and Connect Grounder Skittles,” he commanded.

“Tracing,” said the computer.

Little blinking lights were tracing the location. The map enlarged and become a 3D map of the whole base. There were at least 500 floors. It could take days to find a person with out the right tools.

“Tracing Grounder Skittles. Location: level 359, Laboratory 1, Balcony 2. Connecting to Grounder Skittles.”

A full picture of Skittles in her warrior stance digitized then disappeared into a screen next to the group. Slowly the static became clearer as it showed guard robots hovering back and forth throughout the aisles machinery. A shadow lurked in the distance of the room. And suddenly as if all the guards were in perfect harmony, they were all slashed to bits by an unknown force that seemed so agile that they could not detect it. Suddenly the source of that force seemed to leap out of the darkness and into the small moonlight that illuminated a fraction of the floor. It backed up to one machine and crouched down, stealthily moved to the next one like a cat.

“Kit! Little sister!” Brainy loudly whispered. The figure jumped, startled. Her mask slid back into her headdress.

“Big Brother! Hush!” she hissed, her eyes narrowed.

“What are you doing? They’re after you and here you are prancing around their base!”

“Shad up Querl! I’m here to kick their butts, steal back what’s rightfully yours and raid their labs so no one gets hurt!”

Brainy wrinkled his nose. Never had he seen his little sister act so stubbornly. Her now cold eyes bore into his mind. She wasn’t going to cower in fear again. She was going to risk it without thinking the risks she might face.

Jordan’s face popped up on another screen. “Kit- oh hey guys, oh shoot…”

“Yeeeea, we are busted since we’re the oldest of our group,” Skittle whispered, giving her brother the evil eye.

“If you kids are running around in a lab then you’re going to have to eat this first, Jordan you have in your storage orb,” said Brainy.

Jordan looked in his storage orb and found two pieces of wrapped candy that looked like Starbursts. He transported one to Skittles storage gloves and she quickly unwrapped it and ate it.

“Mmm… tastes like strawberry,” she said, thoughtfully.

“I designed those to keep out chemicals.”

Zyx, Skittles, Obi, Stella and Carlos all of a sudden glared at Jordan.

“You nutzo fool why did tell us you had that!” growled Zyx.

“Sorry! But now isn’t the time to fight! Kit, we have to act now or they will keep making chemicals to weaken your body!”

Skittles nodded and swallowed the candy. She stood up, and stood on the railing in the shadows of the balcony. She jumped off and landed on one of the lab tables, breaking it into two pieces. Chemicals spilled all around her. Her eyes were now slowly changing to orange but she kept her cool.

“Never…again…will…this…lab…ever…make…anymore…chemicals…to…be… injected…into countless…numbers…of innocent…lives,” her voice vexed each word like poison. Her mind raged as she remembering the pain of having these chemicals inside her living soul and did not want to see this happen to anyone ever again.

Her new roller blades with hot pink transparent wheels appeared under her boots and she summoned out her two fans the symbolized Day and Night, Yin and Yang. She leapt up into the air and attacked some of the scientists that were creating more chemicals. Jordan jumped out of his hiding spot and rode on his skateboard. The Durlan wheeled up behind his teammate and slid his hands under her feet. Skittles was catapulted into the air and spliced the robots that were charging at her. Down bellow Jordan was hopping on and off his skateboard while constantly changing into many animals. Skittles landed and destroyed another table, cause chemicals to exploded left and right of her.

One of the scientists brought out the Com 1471 blaster and aimed at the kids.

“He isn’t aiming right, is he, dear big brother?” Skittles said looking at the screen. Brainy shook his head, having the same smile on his face.

“Nope.”

“Stay back, or I’ll shoot!” the scientist yelled. Skittles smirked and took a step forward. The scientist fired and missed Skittles by a long shot.

“HI Dweeb!”

The scientist looked behind him as Jordan the elephant sat on him catching the blaster with his trunk.

“I got the rest of the CDs,” said Jordan turning back into his Durlan form and tossing the CDs and Blaster to Skittles.

“Dude, careful! This is my bro’s. So I’m responsible for these,” Skittles said, digitizing the items.

“You break it, you buy it,” Brainy said.

“Shut up, Querl. You’re still not funny,” spat Skittles.

“Be nice,” said Dawn Star.

“Sibling rule,” yelled Jordan.

“Only siblings are other people who can insult their siblings, besides villains,” said Carlos and Stella. They seemed to have left the others and went raiding another room.

“Kit, Jor come to level 250, we’re have some rides for you guys!” said Carlos.

“Ok,” Skittles yawned. There was something wrong in her voice. It was if something or some things were bothering her.

“What do we do about the computers?” Anita asked as she rolled over toward the large computers.

“Aren’t you going to put in a virus or something?” asked Jordan.

“Eh, no. That’s Brainy’s doing. I do it the old fashion way,” Skittles shrugged as she brought her foot down full force on the controls causing major damage. Jordan looked at the others as she walked out of the room.

“Ok, she is soooo not like her brothers,” said Obi, giving a nervous chuckle.

They got in the elevator outside the lab. Jordan talked with the other while Skittles stared into the glass window at her reflection. She thought that she had given up the life of a solider but now… she was thrusted into another war.

“Little sister, are you alright?” Brainy asked. Skittles looked at her beloved sibling who she had come to love over the weeks she was at the Legion, in the eyes. Her heart wretched at the sight of her brother all caged up like that, like an animal. Who knows how long he’s been there. She wanted to give him all the love and care they way he gave to her.

“I-I’m fine,” she whispered.

“You don’t look like it,” said Jordan.

“I am!”

“Anita! What is wrong with you?” asked Brainy.

“Nothing!”

It remained silent for a few seconds. Skittles sighed and swallowed hard.

“Ok…something is wrong…” she said quietly.

“What?” everyone said at once.

“Everything. I lost everything from these monsters. They took my mother, father and Nana’s lives, they destroyed my home, they forced me into a life of fear, they took made me run forever, they kidnap us kids and trick the legion, then they take my older brother and sister, heaven knows where Violet is, we run then get nuclear waste dumped on us, then we get blasted off and heaven knows where Drewby is, then they inject all these chemicals into me, then try and take the Valkyrie code twice, mutate my pet, force us to go into hiding, and now this! They took everything I loved and made my life even more into a living nightmare. Now I have no choice but to avenge everything. I’m taking back my life, even if does mean putting it on the line.” Skittles felt like everything she said was reflected on the glass windows. Everyone just looked at her. She went through all that. Brainy badly wanted to comfort her and bring back everything. But you couldn’t change what had happened.

Suddenly the elevator jolted and pick up high speed. Skittles and Jordan were flung to the floor by the force. Their brothers gasped. Skittles looked up in horror as the levels began to decrease. They were falling… fast.

“Oh no!” she cried.

“We’re going to die!” yelled Jordan.

“Brainy! What do we do?” Skittles looked at her brother for answers.

“See that shaft on the ceiling?” he asked.

“Yea.”

“Open it. And get out!”

“Uh brother… prob. We can’t fly in a narrow place.”

“Sure we can,” said Jordan.

“You dingbat! You can, I’m glued to gravity!” Skittles slashed the shaft open and began to leap from wall to wall as quickly as she could. She could feel her legs grow tired and she slipped. Jordan turned into a giant bird and grabbed hold of her wrist and flew her up to level 250. Skittles used the blaster to destroy the elevator door.

“And that is how you use the Com 1471,” she said, blowing off the smoke. Brainy smiled, maybe watching and listening to him paid off.

Enemies ran towards them as Skittles summoned out two large swords that were taller than her. She blocked their fires then attacked them with rage. Jordan transformed into a bull and charged at the remaining.

They caught up with Carlos and Stella.

“So what’s up?” asked Skittles.

“This…” Carlos opened a garage door. Jordan and Skittles ran inside.

“DUDE!” They yelled from inside.

“What’s in there?” Asked Saturn Girl.

A roaring sounds of motors answered her as Skittles speed out and ran around in circles on a magenta and black ATV that had a wheel and hovering settings.

“Whooo!” she screamed as she skidded to a stop in front of her friends. Her cold serious frown was replaced by a wide smile of glee.

“This is cool!” she exclaimed.

“Finders keepers, losers weepers. Sadly we finders can’t reach the pedals nor the handle bars,” sighed Stella, shrugging. Another motor roared as Jordan rode out on a green, black and red motorcycle too had a hovering and wheel mode.

The Durlan did a wheelie around the room.

“Showoff,” mumbled Skittles.

“Dude these are awesome!” said Jordan, taking off his helmet, "Sorry Cham, this is mine!"

“Are you sure you guys can drive those?” Asked Superman.

“Anthony Nigel started motor crossing at age 6 and won at age 7. Mandy, BB’s Cuz can drive the Legion battle cruiser with no sweat. taught Skittles and Drew how to use a hover jeep at age 8. And pops taught Cham and I how to control a cruiser and the mechanics,” Said Jordan

“Plus, someone or some ones went joy riding and drove when they were like uh… 13. No offense or anything Mekt and Garth, we’re just using that memoir as a backup to drive. Besides, your sister told us that,” Skittles added.

“Touché,” Mekt nodded. His brother snickered. They didn’t seem affected by the statement.

“Ok enough yip yap. Skit go for another two test drives and Jor about one or two for you,” said Carlos.

“And Skittles, wear your helmet,” said Stella, tossing her older comrade a dark pink helmet with black stripes.

“Shoot,” grumbled Skittles.

“Daredevil,” sighed Phantom Girl as she joined Bouncing Boy, Lois and Matter Eater Lad.

The Grounders drove around the room before Jordan looked to see if anything was out of the ordinary.

“Guys, we got a problem,” Obi said as her picture popped up.

“What’s wrong?” Asked Matter Eater Lad.

“We just received, more like forced from Zyx’s case, some news out of a guard that they are going to blow this place up. This gives them an advantage to stop us and take Skittles’s Valkyrie Code! The timer is set to blow up in t-minus one hour!”

“Oh great,” groaned Tinya.

“Zip the lip, PG,” said Bouncing Boy.

“Even more bad news, the chemical lab that our Grounders basically tore apart as a report that a ton of chemicals are slowly spreading throughout the building. You guys got get out fast. Also the bringing in the guns and are now on the hunt. We all have to get out now. Try and stop or avoid any contact with the villains.”

“I’d rather fight’em,” growled Skittles.

“Duh, you’re a Class A warrior with an attitude,” Said Zyx.

“Whateva, Carlos hop on. Jordan, hook on a side car for Stella also here’s her booster seat.” Skittles summoned out Stella’s booster seat. Stella sulked.

“Rugrat, you’re going to need that till you’re seven,” said Rokk.

“Shut up,” said Stella.

“STELLA!” yelled Jordan and Skittles.

“What? Kit says it.”

“Then Skit shouldn’t say it. At least not around you,” said Jordan as he hooked her in and made sure that the sidecar fit with his motorcycle.

“Bouncing Boy, we’ll meet up with you all in Sector 9 of this level,” said Skittles.

“According to the tracker, there is a cruiser hanger in sector 10,” said Obi.

“Matter Eater Lad has already gone to meet you at sector 8,” said Lois.

“Let’s roll!” yelled Carlos as they drove out.

The Jesters held on as the Grounders drove at top speed, making sharp turns and skid marks here and there. Time was slowly fading as they raced to the exit.

As they rounded the corner to Sector 8, lasers were fired at them. They looked up to see a woman with buzz cut inside a robot’s body.

“Hey Superman, guess who we found. Your old buddy Alexis Luthor,” Jordan said, sarcastically.

“Ha ha I’m laughing, Brande. Now give me the girl and no one gets hurt. Or maybe this, Give me the brat and I’ll let Legion see their precious little relatives go up in smoke with this place. Since after all, you ruined my life!” Alexis yelled from inside the robot.

“Please Miss Alexis, you are after all talking to some children, one of them still seems to still be growing out of her toddler age,” said the Robot.

“Can it, Wodehouse. I have been waiting to humiliate this team and here’s my advantage! They can’t save these kids, so I win!”

“Shut up, rich pig. No, that didn’t come out right. How bout shut up, rich stuck up snob fatso rich girl pig dweeb with a selfish brat attitude that she hasn’t grown out of for the last five years and has a the worst haircut ever that makes Phantom Girl want to barf,” snarled Skittles.

“So right, that cut is so ugly that I want to barf,” agreed Tinya.

Alexis growled. She wasn’t going to be quiet for some little rat that was way younger than her.

“What do we do?” asked Stella.

“There’s only one thing we can do,” said Carlos.

“What’s that?”

“Act as we are, very annoying little siblings.”

“Who wants to play ring around the rosy?” whispered Jordan. Skittles, Carlos and Stella nodded.

“Guys, this is no time to play games,” hissed XS.

“Shhhh… don’t ruin it for Stella, she thinks it is a game,” said Carlos as Skittles and Jordan revved up their motors. Skittles and Carlos started circling around Alexis followed by Jordan and Stella.

“Sing it, Carlos and Stella!” yelled Skittles.

“RING AROUND THE ROSY! A POCKET FULL OF POSIES! ASHES! ASHES! YOU FALL DOWN! AND GET EATTEN BY MATTER EATER LAD!” the Jesters yelled as Matter Eater Lad hopped over the circling vehicles and began munching.

“Bon appetite, Mel!” Jordan laughed. Skittles looked at him oddly. She wasn’t used to seeing a guy eating metal. Matter Eater Lad shoved metal after metal into his mouth until Wodehouse’s right arm left foot and left hand was gone.

“I’m full!” he said as he led the children out. They met up with the rest of the group. Their mission here was complete. Obi still was leading Lois out followed by Zyx, Matter Eater Lad and Bouncing Boy. Skittles and Jordan shut off their vehicles and digitized them into their storage items. Then with Stella and Carlos following close behind they made towards the exit.

Suddenly the door shut tight on them and they were split from the group. They turned around as another door shut on them. They were trapped! Skittles slashed her swords at the door while Bull Jordan pounded his head constantly against it. Stella tried to use her powers but nothing worked.

“Guys?” Yelled Chuck as the screens of their friends popped up.

“We can’t get out!” yelled Jordan. They looked at one another.

“There may only be one way,” said Skittles as she took out a Keonden spell card. Stella, Carlos and Jordan got the picture and together they began taking apart part of the room, ripping and tearing to shreds, till there was an outline of the other door way.

“Now Kit!” screamed Carlos. Skittles took out her Katana and traced out a glowing line of the doorway with the spell card.

The room jolted and began to shift downward.

“What are you doing?” Yelled Saturn Girl.

“Trust us, we know what we are doing!” cried Jordan.

“And if we don’t make it out alive, we always love you,” added Carlos.

“CARLOS!” Skittles, Stella and Jordan yelled as the room tore apart and fell into the endless abyss.

“No!” screamed Lois. These children. They thought that if they tore apart the room they would survive. She looked at their siblings. Brainy, Imra, Reep and Rokk were shockingly stunned. They just lost their little brothers and sisters.

“YEEEHAW!!”

Suddenly a familiar scream filled everyone’s ears as they looked down. A blur of magenta and black flew vertically up past them, leaving behind a pink flowered hover board floating right beside them. The blur somersaulted above them before landing feet first on the hover board.

“Ya’ll miss us so soon?” shouted Skittles, giving a wide grin as she placed her goggles on the brim of her black cap. Brainy gasped in amazement. She was okay.

A blur of red, green and black flew across from Skittles. Jordan grinned as his Grounder teammate gave him a threatening fist followed by Stella, who was riding on her ruby gem broom and Carlos ridding on a blue, and sliver hover board.

“You guys are alright!” cried Obi as she hugged Jordan making him go upside down. Zyx high fived the Jesters and Skittles received a noggie from Chuck.

“Duh!”

“We still have one more thing left,” said Obi as Jordan went up right.

A magic ring appeared with three smaller rings on each end. Obi, Zyx and Skittles took their places in the rings. Skittles took out her sword as it glowed red. Zyx’s hands glowed light blue as his cousin’s wand glowed pink.

“Magicus Clearous!” the mages and the warrior beamed the magic at the now exploding base in the mountain to contain the chemicals.

Skittles walked back onto her hover board as the ring faded. She looked at the base, one step closer to freedom for her and her twin. She looked at the screen that showed the Legionnaires plus Spike and glared at one particular Legionnaire.

“Say one word, Brainy about that spell we cast and I swear I am going to smack you up side the head when we free you guys,” she snarled at her older brother.

“Skittles! Why are you yelling at him for that? Sure, Brainy doesn’t believe in magic but you don’t have to get upset about that,” said Matter Eater Lad.

“Tenzil, dear, try listening to my two brothers. My twin is a mage. My older brother is scientist. Both my brothers are smart yet once one of them mentions either science or sorcery; they have a non-stop argument that lasts for 4-6 hours! I use magic too but I mostly use weapons! And those two always try and drag me and Vi… excuse me…. Violet and I into it. Vi, she just ignores it, I try and ignore it too but hearing them argue non-stop gives me a headache the size of Nevada!”

She gave Brainy the worst death glare ever.

“And I do love my two brothers to death, BUT SOMETIMES, THEY’LL DRIVE ME INSANE WITH THAT YIP YAP OF THEIRS! AND THIS IS COMING FROM THE 7TH INTELLECT SISTER!!” She yelled. Querl looked at her weirdly.

“AND I AIN’T GONNA LISTEN TA ANY BACK TALK MY BIG BRO GIVES! SO TAKE THAT! There I’m done my ranting!” Skittles turned around and sat on her hover board and put on her headphones and listened to “Na Na” by Superchick. She turned up the volume for her brother to hear it.

“So na, na, na, na, na
That’s all I’m gonna say
‘Cause na, na, na, na, na
Made up your mind any ways
Na, na, na, na, na
There’s nothing I can do
So na, na, na, na, na
Couldn't we be friends if not for you!” she sang with the song as some of her friends stiffened their giggles.

“Wow, B5, you really drove your counter part sister to the peak of insanity,” laughed Tinya as she saw her teammate blush and pouted. Geez why was his sister so stubborn? Brainy made a face at Skittles as she turned around stuck out her tongue at him and yelled, “Dweeb! Nerd! Dweeby Nerd! ”

“Dork! You’re the dweeb!” He shot back.

“No you are!”

The others cracked up as the two threw insults at each other for the last five minutes of break time. Then it was the next step towards the mission.

I see Skittles as the queen of insults. LOL. God... those boys must have really drove her insane. LOL Ain't it obvious.
