17. Battle Strategy

Guards were everywhere. These weren't your average guards however. These ones were very well built and very advanced in the art of killing. Kerk smiled to himself. They had been worth every penny. Some had a higher price for their loyalties than others, but he had no regrets. By the end of the night, all of it would seem like minor costs to pay. After all, you couldn't put a price on Draylon and the complete control of all of the time gods.

He could picture it perfectly. A new world. He planned on changing a lot of things. Starting with who was in charge and running things.

In just a few hours, the guards will have captured them all. Well, most of them anyway. He knew he would have to fight one.

Lightning fast, Kerk struck out. A powerful green ball shot out of his hand and collided with the stone wall with a large explosion. He smiled at the rubble that resulted.

Oh yes, he would be ready for her.

"You guys ready for this?"

Everyone nodded. "Do we have a choice?"

"No." Sydney smirked. "Remember what to do?"

"Nah, I figured I'd just wing it," Skyler joked.

"Do that, and you'll probably end up dead," Sydney responded.

"You doubt my skills? That hurts, Sydney, really."

Sydney rolled her eyes at him. "Hush. Now, I believe we have a plan to put into action." Sydney cracked her knuckles. She paused and looked at Joe and Anna. "You two do know that this could go horribly wrong, right? The chance of one or more of us coming out dead is pretty high."

Joe and Anna looked at each other and nodded. "We know."

Sydney shrugged. "Your funeral."

Skyler chuckled. "I don't think these two are going to be scared out of this."

Sydney smiled. "I know." She started to walk forward. "Come on. I'm sure someone is expecting us. Besides, we've got a big fight ahead of us. Might as well get it over with. It's not like pushing it off will help us any."

"Get it over with? That doesn't seem like the best battle strategy." Joe spoke.

"You'd be surprised what will work. I've fought enough to know it too. Adjust your strategy for every situation, and if it doesn't work, well, you're screwed."

"It would truly be an honor to go into battle with you."

Sydney smirked. "You have no idea."

They reached a wall and Sydney opened it with her goddess ability. Each of them stepped into the empty, quiet hallway. They heard voices from an opening leading into another room just down the hall.

"But you're about to get a pretty good one."

Finally! After computer problems, busy-ness, and forgetfulness (sorry about that), I'm updating! Sorry that this chapter is short, but when my computer broke it kinda erased what I had written, so I had to retype it, and I don't remember exactly what I had before. Hope this tides you over for a couple days because I don't know when I'll be updating next. Like I said, I have to retype all of this. Fingers crossed, it won't be long. Anyway, review! Also, I have a couple polls up that I'd like you guys to vote on. The links are on my profile in the "About Me" section, under "Polls". Please vote! Thanks! and thanks for your patience as well!
