Already Over (Time to Rise)

"Think of it this way. If you take it, you save three lives: Cade, you, and Jade. If i take it, you two die, and Jade stays dead."

'Why can't we just get everyone out?' She thought to herself, but changed into a hawk, grabbing the crystal and swung towards Albedo.

As soon as Skye grabbed the crystal, the entire base pitched to one side and began to plummet. Several people screamed, and others ran to find cover.

The other gifteds down below gasped and began to sprint off but a thought flashed across some of their minds from Skye, 'Slow the speed of the building!' Suddenly some kids, stopped and their hands glowed, it wrapped around the whole city.

Albedo snarled. "Don't have them slow it down! You'd be better served escaping. If you escape the fall, then I'll give you Jade. If not... well, you'll meet him anyway."

"This is not fair game to have everyone die here!" She screeched landing onto the ground before changing back to her normalself.

"Who said anything about fair? Is it fair that I'm giving back the soul of a dead man? No, it isn't. I get punished for that. I still have cuts from Cade over there.", Albedo said, scowling at him.

"Please, can't we just safely land the city? This is not nesscary to kill them, it's only you that wants to wipe out the population on here."

"I created this place. I should be the one to ultimately decide its fate. You have time to save a couple. I suggest the Fon Fabre brothers, and perhaps Jean Pierre."

'The others wouldn't know what be hitting them.' She thought to herself before changing into a hawk and soaring out of the building, screeching.

The gifteds looked up to the skies and watched the screeching hawk, then quickly resumed their panic.

She saw Jean Pierre down below and let out a screech before flying low, "Come follow me!"

Jean Pierre looked up, and nodded. "What's happening?", he called up at her.

"Albedo had wanted to claim his crystal back, and he blackmailed me upon this too. I had to give him the crystal for the soul of my father back." She answered, feeling a weight of heaviness upon her stomach.

'I see...", Jean Pierre said, falling silent.

Skye glanced around as she tried to find the Fon Fabre Brothers.

"Are you looking for anybody else?"

"The Fon Fabre Brothers." She yelled from above.

"Then follow me!", he said, rushing off in a different direction.

She stopped flying, then shot after him.

Jean Pierre led her to a building where the brothers were cowering in, terrified.

Skye landed on the ground, and chirped at them, "Come on!"

They nodded and followed after them.

She took off back into the sky and flew off to retrive Cade before they had to make their escape.

(Gotta go, hopefully back on soon....)
