I felt like having fun with this particular post, so enjoy. My other posts will just as interesting but shorter. And let's have fun! I wanna see how those Talons want revenge! >D
"Excuse me good sir." Darak stepped up to the garage keeper and cleared his throat. This was the only garage that they could afford to park their ship, and he was desperate, not to mention unwilling to let his prized ship RUST in humid air of the rain forest.
The man grunted and leaned back again in his seat, not moving his hat from his face.
"Yes. May my squadron and I park our ship here for the evening?"
"Two silvers. Up front."
Darak cleared his throat. Zara rolled her eyes along with Sak who tsked and Nikilo who covered a smirk on his face with his palm. Darak, being the rich one he was, wasn't USED to having no money on him.
"Well.. Y-you see m-m-my squadron is s-s-short on c-c-coins-"
"Money upfront or yur ships rusts wit' ta rest of the scrap metal on dis terra." The man slurred, is breath reeking of alcohol.
Zara elbowed Darak in the ribs.
"You seem to be a man of VERY good sense, my friend." Zara stepped up in front of Darak as he gagged in pain. "I feel certain..." She removed the hat from the middle aged man's face so she would have to look at them. "That we can come to some sort of agreement."
The man stared up at her for a while before he spoke.
"Ya have yella eyes." The man was drunkenly astonished.
"I see nothing is hidden from you, sir!" Zara smiled, remembering the fact that there was more yellow in her hazel eyes than most eye colors. "Now about tha-"
"I nevar seen a yella eyed girl before."
Nikilo, Sak and Darak all looked at each other. Nikilo quirked an eye brow, and Darak moaned as Sak giggled. The three had no idea where the woman was going with this, but she was getting somewhere.
Zara tapped her chin. What the hell was up with this geezer and yellow eyes?
"Well, I would never guessed you've a worldly air about you." Zara rolled her eyes. "Now about tha-"
"I 'eard dings 'bout this!" The man nearly shouted. "Is you... Is you some weird siren cousin or whateva'... A fairy! ...With magical factors?"
"A fairy-! This has to be too easy." Zara murmured too quiet for him to hear. She turned back to him.
"A fellow as sharp as yourself MUST realize that a fairy in disguise could hardly give away her identity away so easily." Zara gave him her sickenly fake sweet voice.
Darak scoffed. Would she really? he wondered. Then again, this was ZARA. He should be expecting this now.
"Not that a yellow eyed fairy would, you understand." She went on.
"I know dat!" The man smiled, "And yous even gots ah pink 'aired friend!" The man pointed to Sak, barking with laughter realizing he was so clever.
Much later, the crew was unpacking. Darak placed a box on a table in the garage, shuddering. He didn't know whether to be disgusted or proud that he had a deceitful crew member such as Zara to get them a free garage spot.
"Did you really have to do it?" Darak hissed at her once she leaned back in a chair.
"Am I good for anything else?" She laughed and tried to light a cigarette, which Darak knocked out her hand to the ground.
"What in hell is that?!" He barked.
Zara scoffed. "Don't look at me. I got from Sak. I was just try-"
"You wanted to give black lungs a try?!"
"Dude, CHILL. I like the look of smoking... It was my first one anyway... thanks for ruining it." Zara rested her feet on the table and leaned back in her chair, but shuddered thinking of black lungs. "Or should I thank you..."
"Wanna play cards?" Nikilo stepped in the garage lodging area Zara had gotten them and looked at the two blondies.
"Shut up Nikilo, I'm talking to Zara.." Darak flicked his blond hair away and kicked some of the Amazonian dirt that he had tracked in.
"Well, you're nice." Nikilo scoffed. "But seriously, anyone? We ARE on patrol and it gets boring-"
"NIKILO! Oh-em-gee! THAT is a new color for your pants. They man your thighs look FIERCE." Sak strunted in and sat at the table, painting his nails
"You got Sa-a-ak's attention!" Zara chimed and played with her lip ring.
"NO!" Nikilo whined as Darak and Zara laughed, and Sak looked at Nikilo in concentration.
"Well, that color DOES kind of make you look wide enough, but it does WONDERS for your thighs! You're" *snap* "pulling" *snap* "it" *snap* "off." The flamboyant pink haired young man said, snapping in between each word.
Nikilo shivered. The gruff sky knight could not BELIEVE that a GAY guy just commented on his THIGH AREA.
"Oh stop it, Sak." Zara chewed on her lip ring. "The only person that Nikilo wants commenting on his thighs is his girlfriend and-"
"NINI AND I ARE ON A BREAK, OKAY?! SO DON'T EVER MENTION HER TO ME AGAIN!" Nikilo roared.
"... Do you want your knitting needles?" Darak as his bear sized friend. Nikilo nodded, on the very verge of crying.
As Nikilo tried to stop tears from flowing down his face as he ran back into another room to knit, Darak properly sat in a chair.
"Anything intersting?" Zara asked.
"Just a patrol."
"Woo-hoo." Zara snapped her gum in her mouth and shuffled some cards.

“Imagine my disappointment when I learned Cyclonia was infiltrated by a Sky Knight,” Master Cyclonis hissed from under the hood of her cloak.
Dark Ace stepped forward with his head bowed. “Master Cyclonis…”
“SILENCE!” Her purple eyes flashed with fury. “Blind mangy dogs, licking their wounds, reeking of shame stand before me! Not only did you let the enemy in, you fell into their trap! Your actions reflect the nation of Cyclonia and you made us look like fools!” She clenched her fist and violent energy pulsated from her. “Go… Rectify your mistake.”
The five men bowed and left their master’s chamber. Blaine turned to face the tallest one and spoke. “Dark Ace, sir, my men and I will set out immediately and -”
There was a loud clap as glove made contact with flesh. “You stupid little whelp,” he growled.
Blaine stumbled. “Sir…” Before he could continue Dark Ace had him pinned to the wall by the throat.
“You failed the mission. You dragged my men and I out into the middle of nowhere to rescue you. You let those filthy squad-men get away!”
“Please, Dark Ace, sir, I’m sorry…”
“Hey! He saved your life!” Dieter barked.
“Which wouldn’t have been jeopardized at all if I hadn’t had to come save your hides!”
“We did ask you too, sir.”
“Don’t you take that tone with me you piece of -”
The small boy gasped as Ace’s grip tightened.
“Ladybug!” Beck suddenly cried.
Dark Ace dropped Blaine to the floor. Beck rushed over and cradled the small one in his lap. “Patrol reported spotting their ship in Terra Amazonia. Go there and finish them. Don’t come back until you succeed in the mission.”
“Those piss-lickers will pay for this,” Dieter growled.
Amadi just stood, unusually silent.

Darak twirled the cigarette in between his fingers as Sak and Zara played Slap-Jack. Nikilo was off in the corner, knitting a scarf with a sad smiley face on it. As Zara yelled out in victory as she slapped the pile of cards, Darak looked at Nikilo.
"Do you think smoking attracts women to a man?" He asked his friend.
"Who cares. She br-b-brooookeee u-u-u-up wiht-"
"Forget I asked." Darak rolled his eyes.
Zara looked up at him.
"Did you hear back from that girl from your parent's dinner?"
"Well, yeah... She's two years older but REALLY pretty..."
"Well, does she strike you as a health conscious person?"
"I suppose. Her father is a doctor."
"Drop the cig, my friend." Sak sighed, throwing his cards on the table and turning to nail polish
"Remember how that Sarai chick used to smoke and her face was all ashy?" Zara asked Sak, referring to a past mission.
"HA! It made it sooooo easy to catch up to her when she tried to run!"
"Blaine smoked too." Darak recalled. "His face was pretty smooth though."
"Yeah, but he was a cigarette a day person, not a pack a day person." Zara said.
Minutes in silence passed as they each did their own thing. Darak couldn't help but feel a pit grow in his stomach. There had been many missions. He was not good at letting go, however, and the Harbingers were... Different. He wondered if it did better on his conscious that he stayed behind that time. Darak felt a shiver down his spine.
"You okay?" Sak asked his leader.
"Just a breeze from the fan."

“I don’t see why I have to do this,” Dieter grumbled while he wrapped Blaine’s thigh with new bandages.
“Stapleton has cold hands, and he stares at me. It’s strange…”
The Harbingers were gathered on their ship headed toward Amazonia. Naturally Amadi was at the helm. Beck was lying on one of the benches getting the first bit of sleep in four days. Consuela had been left behind, the mission deemed too dangerous for her.
“We can’t get personal about this,” Blaine warned. “If we let our emotions get in the way we’ll only screw up. I won’t accept that again.”
Dieter sighed. They were all still pretty worn out from the last encounter with the Sky Scratchers. Dieter had his pride. Amadi’s heart had been broken. Beck, well… not so much. Blaine… and then there was Blaine. Forest green eyes scanned over the slender figure seated before him. With his uniform off, it was easy to see all the wounds on Blaine’s body. Dieter didn’t normally give a shit about the runt, but he watched this kid take four bullets for a guy who didn’t care. The boy declared his secret love when he thought he was going to die.
“Just make sure you take your own advice. You opened yourself pretty wide -”
“What do you care?”
“I don’t.”
“Good.”

"What would you do if they came?" Sak asked, referring to the Harbingers.
"I'd wipe them out." Darak said, grabbing his gun to look at it. "We'd have to split up first. I think if they wanted to kill you both as well, they'd kill you first before looking for me and Zara." He stayed silent before continuing.
"They'd have an urge to kill." He continued. "They'd want to get rid of the stuff that doesn't matter. They'd make our death slower and make it... long. After we broke them, they'd want to watch us crumble."
The ship was silent and Darak stared at his gun.
Sak was not interested in asking anymore questions. Zara had come to him about Beck's obsessive ghost thing and knew all to well she wasn't the happiest pea in the pod. The pink haired boy sighed as his sister went stepped out of ship to breath
Zara went outside, her insides non-existant now. She fumbled for her cigarette and a lighter. She put the cig at the tip of her lips and began to flicked the lighter till a flame came up. She leaned against the side of the garage.
She dropped the lighter and the cigarette fell from her mouth.
Her head made a sharp turn north and her body became stiff. Her bottom lip quivered.
She felt him and his piercing eyes coming. She remembering everything he said of the mother and the ghosts she had...
"GIN!" She screamed as she ran back into the headquarters of her crew.
Darak stared at her. "WHat?"
"Gin. Fill a mixing glass with ice. Add the Plymouth Gin, 1 oz. lemon juice, 1/2 oz. maraschino liqueur and 1 dash of syrup de gomme. Shake well and strain into a martini glass."
"... Zara, sweetie, that's the recipe for an Aviation." Sak quirked up his eye brow. Even Nikilo looked up from his knitting.
"Do you expect me to fight them SOBER?" Zara barked.
"Who, Zara?" Nikilo stood up.
"Get your guns and bullet-proof vests. PLEASE!" She begged. "They're coming to whip us out. They're coming and we need to move! Sak, Nikilo. Hide yourselves the best." She grabbed two guns and some crystal tipped ammo before slipping a zest on but not zipping it up. "And where's my gin?!"
"No drinks!" Darak yelled. "WHO IS IT?"
"Harbingers!" Zara whispered loudly.
Withing seconds, everyone had a vest and a gun or two. They all ran out, leaving the inside of the ship a mess so it was obvious they were on the run to anyone who looked for them there.
"We need our skimmers!" Sak yelped, almost stopping.
"They'd hear us!" Darak yelled. "Run in a zig zag pattern! Keep yourself concealed. If you find cover, radio for back up!"
"They'll be here soon!" Zara yelled and ran into the bushes. The four went their separate ways

The Silent Night landed not 2 kilometers away from their target. They saw no point in sneaking up on an enemy that knew them so, unfortunately, well. The four men boarded the enemy ship, not surprised to find it empty.
“They ran,” Dieter said.
“No shit,” Blaine spat.
Beck fired his hand gun at the console, virtually destroying it. Even if the Sky Scratchers made it back to their ship they couldn’t fly.
“What should we do?”
“We could pair up and take care of them two at a time.”
“No, we’ll split up like they did,” Blaine commanded. “They know how we operate, but they’re scared, that much is obvious. Roth, you take the pilot. Obinna, you go after the girl. Stapleton will take out the Sky Knight. I will take the other one.”
Dieter shook his head. “Wing-Walker shouldn’t have to face her.”
“This isn’t up for debate!” Blaine snapped. “Stapleton is far too obsessed with this ghost thing, and you are a better match for the pilot.”
“What about you?”
“I carry a grudge; it would be irresponsible of me. Now move out!”
With that each soldier set out to follow the path of their respective target.

"Dammit, should have had that f*cking gin..." The blond girl murmured, kicking dirt. She heard a bag far away. Someone had taken out their ship. "Great..." She murmured. She pushed through vines and stumbled down a steep hill. She rubbed a bruise and heard water.
Remember that she was leaving a path, she ran to the water and waded through the shallow pond until she was at the other side. There had to be a spot that wouldn't leave a visible trail...
"Of course! The rocks!"
Zara climbed up the smooth boulders and slid down the last one until she was on the other side of the pond.
"Perfect." She sighed with relief. She quickly stopped to check her ammo. The water hadn't done a thing.
Darak ran across to the other side of the creek and looked for a hiding spot. He was NOT going to die today... Oh no. He grumbled under his breath and looked around.
"Bushes... Too obvious. I hate swimming. Dammit! I- Wait."
He saw a cave and ran towards it. Instead of running inside (like Sak had, not to his notice), the tall man climbed up the mossy and vine covered side until he was climbing up the short cliff. He finally made it to the other side.
Nikilo had managed create two paths fake paths on the way. They weren't very good. But he had done his best. He saw a small water fall and hid behind the large wall of water, making sure his ammo wouldn't get wet along the way

Amadi stepped silently along, his gaze fixed straight ahead. He followed the path of disheveled leaves and trampled grass. He followed the track marks down the side of the hill to the waters edge. Naturally she would cross it. A tactic that worked once, but was nothing more than a desperate rookie’s move now. Amber eyes scanned the area as he waded through the water. There were no signs she had proceeded further. Amadi sniffed the air. Another minute later he cocked his gun and aimed it at a familiar blonde head. “Too bad you smell so sweet,” he said standing over her.
Beck had no problem trailing Darak. The pampered man wasn’t used to the outdoors and he left signs everywhere. He noticed the grooves in the moss leading to the cliff above. Without much effort he scaled the side of the cave and continued his pursuit.
“Does he think I’m an idiot?” the behemoth growled. Dieter completed disregarded the two fake paths. He recognized them as too fake. Far too much effort had been put into making them. He came upon the waterfall. He tried to spot any shadows behind the water, and then fired a shot in to try and spook anybody out. When nothing happened he moved on.
Blaine followed wet footprints to the mouth of the cave. He cursed the pink-haired one for going in. It was dark in there, and Blaine would have none of it. The boy fired a few rounds into the mouth of the cave. “Come out!” he ordered. “There’s nowhere you can run now. I have you!”

If a bullet wasn't the thing that had stopped her heart, Amadi's voice had.
"I guess my date with Paolo will have to be postponed." She said, her back still turned. "Shame, too. He loves this perfume."
Zara slowly turned on her heels, a sweet smile on her face as she pointed her own hand gun at him.
"I bet you really want to pull that trigger right now." She said. "We're going to end up shooting at the same time, you know." She sighed. "Sooooo..." There was a silence as Amadi was waiting for her to finish the sentence after "so' She didn't say anything and let him say the next thing.
Darak ran deeper into the forest, panting for breath. He spotted vines and an idea clicked. He ripped some from the trees and made a trap, covering it with dirt and leaves. He noted that his trap looked more like a nest than a badly done trap.
"Nest THAT. Darak murmured before running off again.
Sak ran out from a stagmite that was behind Blaine. He shoot a bullet and ran out, disappearing, knowing he had missed. Might as well spook him that shoot him.

“I got your letter,” he said.
Beck smiled as Darak’s heaving breathing met his ears. “You stink of her,” he said. “I’d find you anywhere.” A loud yelp escaped him when his ankle was constricted and he was hoisted into the air. “Trickster!”
Dieter grumbled irritably when he couldn’t find any other trails left my Nikilo. Perhaps he’d been too brash. He turned around back to the falls.
Blaine spun on his heels and fired at Sak. The bullet missed and he hissed. Crimson eyes flashed through his mind and the boy took off after the other. “It’s useless!” he shouted. “We’ll pick you off one by one!”

"Fsck." SHe hissed under her breath as her eyes darted away. She turned back to him, her gun still pointing to him. "I didn't think you'd know it was me. I didn't sign it and I typed it, if you recall." She said, not losing the stern, deceitful tone of her voice and quirking an eye brow.
"HA!" Darak laughed and jumped out. "This is PRICELESS! I'm thinking about leaving you here so back up can capture you like this." His deceitful smirk fell. "Last time I checked, Zara didn't have any GHOSTS." He hissed at the other blond.
Nikilo heard foot steps and loaded his gun in a hurry. "Shoooooot' He murmured under his breath
"I don't think so. I don't want to be killed by a boy as cute as yooou." He said behind Blaine again, his voice as gay as ever. He shot again, but missed on purpose.

“You’re the only one who could have written it. Why didn’t you give it to me yourself? You were brave enough to walk back onto Cyclonian territory. Would it have been so bad to knock on the door?”
“She does, and she’ll infect you all too. That is if she doesn’t die from them first.” Beck grinned wildly. “Mother dear, feed me, mother dear. Mother dear, hold me, mother dear. Mother dear, sweet, mother dear. Mother dear, die, mother dear!” He started to laugh.
“You should have run,” Dieter warned. “Now you’re dead.”
Blaine blushed and spun on his heels again. “You’re toying with me!”

"A number of reasons. I didn't want to be killed, I had used a cloaking crystal to disguise myself so I'd look silly handing you a letter when I wasn't myself... I could have just told you instead of writting a letter, but HEY! Doesn't talking defeat the purpose of writting a letter?"
"You're sick." Darak hissed. "And you fscked with the wrong sky knight." He pointed his gun at the swinging maniac of a captive. "Any last words?" He hissed.
Nikilo heard Dieter behind him and shot at him over his shoulder as he ran. "THANKS FOR THE ADVICE!" He yelled.
"How could I not, you're gorgeous!" Sak smiled at the small boy

Amadi dropped his gun. “I could have protected you.” He stepped down off the rock and caught her up in an embrace. “Stupid, beautiful girl.”
Beck pulled out his hand gun and shot the vine. He landed on top of the Sky Knight and pinned him down. “Mommy! Mommy!” he laughed. His crystal blue eyes blazed with insanity. "Eating, growing, festering. They won't stop until there's nothing left! She'll get what she deserves!"
“You little shit!” Dieter picked up a nearby boulder and hurled it at the pilot.
Blaine shook his head. “I won’t fall for that…”

Zara ended up dropping her own gun in surprise. She nearly froze. She swallowed. "Wh-what the..." She murmured as he held on tighter. She expected a bullet, but a hug? That was NOT in the memo.
The purpose of the letter was to get rid of her question. But writing it on paper had done nothing now that he was back.
"YOU are going to get what YOU deserve!" Darak punched Beck in the throat. While the medium choked, Beck slipped out. "You caused her sleepless nights, you know! She nearly had PANIC attacks! She was happy before YOU came along! Telling her she's being ripped apart did NOTHING to her!"
"ACK!" The boulder practically nipped at Nikilo's heels as he ran.
"But you're so pretty!" Sak laughed, aiming his gun.

“I really do love you,” he said. “You broke my heart, but I’m not the kind to stay angry. You can kill me if you want, Zara, just…” Amadi cupped her cheek in his hand and gave her a gentle kiss.
“What do you do for her?” Beck inquired. “What can you do? Do you understand the nature of these things?” He tilted his head slightly. “What will you do when her time comes? Will you hold her hand? Will you dry her tears? Will you sit through her screams? The pain, the blood, the fear? WHAT WILL YOU DO?”
Dieter barreled after Nikilo. He elbowed the other in the back. “You’re an ugly bastard, aren’t you?”
“Shut up!” Blaine’s hands pressed over his ear and tears started in his eyes. “You can’t say that to me!”

"MFFT!"
Zara nearly pushed away from him but Amadi had pulled her closer before she could. A light blush creeped onto her cheeks. Her heart raced. She couldn't bring herself to push away. By the time he broke the kiss, she was officially stunned.
"What. The. Heck." She murmured, staring back at him as he stared at her. "You're for REAL?"
"THAT WON'T HAPPEN!" Darak grabbed his gun and pointed it at him.
"OW!" At Dieter's thrust, Nikilo tripped and stumbled then rolled down a hill.
"OW. ow. OW!" He yelped at each skid down the hill. He moaned in pain as he landed at th bottom of the hill.
"EEP!" Sak yelped. He was done toying with him now, so he reached for his , expecting Blaine to do the same

He stepped back, a soft smile on his face. “Shoot to kill,” he told her.
Beck grabbed Darak’s wrist. In one swift motion he snapped the appendage around. A loud crack was heard as the bone broke apart. He grabbed the hand gun that had fallen only a few inches away, turned on top of the Sky Knight, and shoved the gun into his mouth. “She will give birth to monsters, and you won’t be there to save her.”
“A clumsy one too,” Dieter said with a laugh. He leapt off the side of the hill and the ground shook when he landed. Without hesitation he fired his rifle into each of Nikilo’s kneecaps. “Let’s see you run now,” he sneered.
“You’re just teasing me!” Blaine cried. The boy aimed his gun but his hands were shaking too much. “Don’t you dare play with me like that! I’m not a toy!”

"DAMMIT, you're so... UGH!!" She groaned. She grabbed her gun but didn't point it at him. "Why- You only knew me for two weeks- How'd you know *I* wrote the letter?! I want answers, DAMMIT!"
Beck managed to wriggle free, though he was writhing in pain and look Beck straight in the eye so he could say his last words.
"Did you want to see her die?! See something YOU knew was going to happen to YOU?!" He hissed. "EVEN IF SHE DIES BEFORE YOU SHE'LL BE THE ONE THAT'LL RIP *YOU* TO PIECES!"
"ARGH!" Nikilo screamed out in pain. He had heard being shot in the knee caps was painful but he never knew until now. "DAMMIT you hold grudges!" Nikilo reached for the gun on his belt. "Run out of ammo?"
"Hey, I flirt with EVERY guy!" Sak said, dead serious and his voice straight. "Gimme a break." He rolled his eyes.

"Other girls don't care about the things in that letter. They know I'll never love them because they don't want to be loved. All they want is money. I'd give them all up for you, Zara. It's not like we'd have to get married or anything." He laughed lightly. "Niether of us wants to settle down, but that doesn't mean we couldn't be together."
"They do not live in me." Beck pulled the trigger, blood splattering onto his face.
"Hold on there, hot shot." Dieter fired his gun at Nikilo's hand. He watched an index finger land a few feet away. "See, there's no way in hell I'm dying out here. I got a girl back home. I gotta stay alive, see? I'm not about to let a midget like you get in the way of that."
Blaine fired his rifle, but he missed everytime, his hands too unsteady. "You're just like all the others then..."

The gun shot was heard by everyone and each of the Sky Scratchers knew what had happened.
Ironically, everyone had been only 20 yards away from Beck and Darak. Not having gone far and taking too many turns around trees and hills, the only thing thank block them all from each other was a cliff, a hill, a river and dense forest.
Zara ran up the hill left to her and right to Amadi. She ran and Amadi was behind her the whole time. She let out a terrible scream when she saw what had happened.
"DARAK!" Zara screamed, seeing Darak's body. Darak had been shot in the heart; he hadn't zipped his bullet-proof vest.
Tears ran down her face as the dam in her heart that held her emotions broke.
"YOU KILLED HIM!" Zara screamed. She pounced at Beck, knocking his gun away as she pinned him to the ground, hands around his neck.
"If it was anyone that was supposed to die young, it was ME! NOT HIM! I'll FSCKING rip you apart, Beck! I WILL HERE AND NOW!!" She shrieked, her nails digging into his flesh. "HE WAS A GOOD LEADER, DO YOU HEAR ME!!" She yelled at him as she tightened her hands around his neck. Tears were overflowing over her eyes.
Sak had abandoned Blaine and ran towards the scene. He yelped, falling to his knees.
"Shit." Nikilo murmured, not being able to run to the scene. He knew exactly was happened as he heard Zara screaming after the bullet

"They will all claim us in this place," Beck gasped. He was still smiling; that empty, hollow, meaningless smile.
Amadi grabbed the girl under her arms and tried to pull her back. "He was only doing his job, Zara! You all were going to kill us too, weren't you?"
"Sounds to me like the situation sucks for you," Dieter said. "I don't see much point in dragging this out. You'd die out here either way, so consider this as a favor." He pressed the barrel of his gun between Nikilo's eyes and fired. The Striker crystal left a three inch hole in the other's head. "Poor bastard," he grunted and made his way toward the commotion.
Dieter picked Blaine up on his way to the cliff. He hoisted the small, and flustered, one over his shoulder. When he got there he dropped the boy on the ground. "What a mess."
Blaine saw Sak. He recognized the painful look in his eyes, knowing it all too well. "Nothing hurts worse than unrequited love," he said.

Zara stumbled back as Amadi pulled her back. Sh tried to reload her own gun but stopped. She looked at the blond medium and frowned.
"I'm not going to kill you. Darak's strong, even as a ghost. He's going to rip you to pieces, no matter how hard you try to keep him away." She hissed.
Sak's eyes darted to Blaine, but then at Zara, who was hysterical. He didn't know what was going to happen next, whether it was that he and his sister were going to shoot and kill the Harbingers or if it was the other way around or the everyone was just going to walk away from this.
Zara hated that she didn't know what to do. She had figured that she was going to be the first to die, not because she wanted to, but because she was fascinated by death itself. Her head was spinning, trying to figure out what was going on next. She wasn't part of a Squadron anymore, that was for sure. Darak was dead so their team had dissolved. Hysterical, she ended up running- no, stumbling to a whole bunch of moss covered boulders. She vomited into the cracks of the boulders and sobbed.

"Zara," Amadi's voice was quiet, "What do you want to do?"
"Are you serious?" Dieter bellowed. "That's not a question we're allowed to ask here! It's four against two now! I'll let you be the one to kill her, but you know what has to be done."
"We don't have to -" the black one started.
"Yes we do! Damn it, Wing-Walker, we can't go home until they're all dead! I'm not going to give up Megan for a bunch of ankle-biting fsckers!"
"And I won't abandon Dark Ace."
"So, what's it gonna be, huh?"

"Well..." Sak began and waited until everyone turned to look at him. Zara didn't turn her head at all. Sak knew she was listening anyway.
"Zara and I have cloaking crystals. Normally, if we need to escape we use those to get away as other people. And we have about a million other identities and we don't mind having another few on our belts, even if we quit the Sky Knight Union." Sak said. "I know you guys must be tired of dealing with us, but to be honest..." He looked at his twin. "Zara would have been better off as a bartender like she first wanted."
Zara finally looked up and nodded. "Sak's right." She mumbled loudly, wiping her mouth and standing, still dizzy. "I don't have much of taste for this infiltrating shit anyway." She said. "I'm better at mixing drinks, though some wouldn't be able to tell."
