Ally
I dreamt of walking on moonlit grass. I could clearly see a volcano in the distance, although much more eruptive than before. I walked towards it, as if in a trance.
"Come," The magma seemed to say as I got near the volcanic summit. "I have what you seek."
I slowly put one foot in front of the other, and stopped at the edge of the crater. The magma bubbled fiercely, and I then saw a star fall from the sky. Many stars followed, and around me, little drops of starlight rained down. A sphere rose from the volcano, and exploded with the call of a bird.
I sat up right away. It was dawn, where the sun was just beginning to stretch out it's first rays of sunlight. The sky was a grayish beige, clouds dotting the sky.
"Will, wake up," I heard Keesa's voice whisper.
I slowly rose out of my bed and walked to the other room, where a rice door had crumpled up. Will was snoring, looking miserable from his wounds.
"Oh, morning Ally." Keesa greeted as soon as she saw me walk in. "Will feels broken. It turns out he also severely injured his leg."
"The blow knocked him into a wall, debris falling onto him." I said, remembering the moment. I thought about the starlight rain, and the volcano. Maybe it was one of the longer visions, possibly about the future!
"What time is it?" Will mumbled. "It's death o' clock."
Keesa tilted her head, concerned. "Will...?"
Will suddenly sat up, quick and scared. His face relaxed a bit when he saw us. "Oh, phew. I'm still alive. I had a terrible nightmare."
Before Keesa could react, Will limped up and opened up a closet. There was three sets of separate clothing. We all stared at it.
"Sicapa must've put it here before she... disappeared." I said. Will nodded.
I took the set of clothing that was navy blue. Will took one that was green and brown. Keesa took one that was black and crimson.
"We'll change quickly, and then go to the volcano," Keesa said.
I nodded, and went back into my room. I shut the rice doors as best as I could, and then slipped on the navy blue fabric. I looked down, and it turned out to be a navy blue dress, with black leggings to run easily in.
I walked out my room, and saw Keesa putting on a black mini-jacket. She was wearing a red shirt, with black jeans. Will walked in, wearing a green polo shirt and brown pants.
"Ready?" I asked.
Will nodded, and Keesa gave me that reassuring smile.
"This is your 5th day." Keesa said.
"We'll try our best." Will said.
We ran out the giant hole the house's entrance was, and across Demica's large field. Up ahead was a black triangular figure, with smoke rising out of it. I shivered, and shook my head. It was fine. I'd make it.
"Shoot! Hide!" Keesa said.
I looked up, and saw several black helicopters flying directly towards us. We all ducked behind a boulder, and heard bullets firing, lighting the glass on fire. I turned my head and saw the Unborne flying at Demica's Village, bombing it and causing commotion.
"They think we're there," Will murmured. "The Demon Lord must've told them."
I growled. "The little stuck up snot!" I said.
"The poor villagers," Keesa said in sadness. "They're being harmed!"
I saw people collapsing on the grass. They were seared and hurt from the impact. It was because of me.
"I have to save them," I said. "It's my fault."
I ran up to the village, and yelled with all my might. "Yo indigo babies!" I called. "I'm the one you want!"
The helicopters hovered for a moment, then began to fly towards me. Bullets flew past me, but I quickly jumped onto a low helicopter's ladder and hauled myself up. I gasped as I saw the person in the helicopter; Chef and the Demon Lord.
I was too dazed to attack, and fell off the helicopter and onto the hard ground. Bullets nearly hit me, and I was scarred at the new Chef; an Unborne. A much more fit Chef with indigo skin and skinny, sharp teeth. I thought of Will, who was risking his life for me. I needed Will's avenge, and that was enough to boost me with energy.
I stood up again, and jumped onto another nearby helicopter, and opened the door. I punched the driver out of the helicopter and took the wheel. I shot a rapid fire at the Demon Lord's helicopter, which caught on fire.
"Ally!" I heard Will and Keesa yell. "Watch out!"
I looked behind me, and saw the rest of the Unborne fire dozens of attack at me. I screamed in horror, and felt an intense heat. My copter was catching on fire! Wait. I was immune to that junk!
The helicopter wasn't though, and from way up high, I was plummeting towards the ground.... fast.
I climbed into the fire, feeling sweat break out. I saw a tank leaking out oil, which the flame's tongues tried to reach. I felt nauseous for a moment, then tried getting the little tunnels leading to the tank to reconnect. It was no use.
Some more bullets were fired at me, making a large gap in the helicopter. I looked around for any emergency kits, and took a bloodstained kit and opened it up.
I grabbed the duct tape, and taped the little pipes together. Then, there were the wires.
I wasn't immune to electricity, which was a problem.
I gritted my teeth as I grabbed the copper wires, giving me a jolt. I took duct tape and taped them together, and felt a huge headache from the electricity.
Dodging more attacks, I took the control stick again, and went up, just before I hit the ground. I turned to the other helicopters, and gasped.
Keesa and Will were climbing onto another helicopter, and then saw a blue figure get pushed out. I smiled, and we hovered next to each other as more of the Unborne charged at us.
I did a corkscrew and made my bullets go straight through the enemy's engine, making a huge explosion.
My helicopter swerved down, and I jerked the stick left, then crashed right into a helicopter.
I shrieked, seeing the glass shatter and felt myself being jerked a whole lot of times, and then a piercing pain.
My eyes closed as I fell out of the control seat, feeling the pain cover my whole body, knowing it was an Unborne who had attacked me.
I saw the wrecked helicopter the Demon Lord and Chef was in coming right at me. In a few moments, me and the gun would be aligned, a perfect opportunity to kill me in a second.
Instead, I was surprised to see Chef being shoved out, then felt a gloved hand catch me.
