You have to let me do this

Molly, Det. Brighton, Vera and Rodrick went on talking about their plan to travel to the chasens' planet and destroy the tower that controlled them all; a plan that Molly just said she was going to execute on her own. "Are you crazy? Absolutely not. The plan is insane enough as it is, letting you go all the way out there by yourself is absolutely out of the question," Det. Brighton said. "Molly no," Vera said. "Yes," Molly said. "Going all the way to their planet by yourself? No," Det. Brighton said. "That is not happening. We're a team so we are going to carry out this plan together." "Of course we're going to carry out the plan together but when it comes time for us to move through the portal to their planet, it won't be us it'll just be me." "No." "Yes," Molly said. "No." "Eric, it has to be me to do it. You know that." "This is not just about you babe it's about all of us," Det. Brighton said.

It will be absolute carnage

Days later Det. Brighton was given the information he had requested for on Simon Withers; his phone number, his email and his address and he, Molly and Rodrick drove out to his place to see him. He lived in a cabin in the middle of nowhere and they had to be on the road two hours just to get there.They turned into a dusty road and followed it all the way through the trees to a well designed two story cabin about a whole km away from the main road.Det. Brighton parked the car out front and as they came out, the front door opened and through it walked Simon; a man in his mid-fifties with messy hair dressed in a robe and pajama bottoms."Well I'll be damned," Simon said. "Roddy is that you?""It's me," Rodrick answered."What the heck are you doing here?""Good to see you too. Can we come in?""No," Simon answered. "What do you want? Who are these people?""These are my friends. Molly and Eric.""Det. Eric Brighton," he s

You're my soulmate Eric

Days passed and as Simon acquired the resources needed to make the bomb to blow up the chasens' command center tower, Molly and Rodrick resumed their training; whipping her into shape to take on the mammoth tasked that had fallen before her. Jumping rope, doing push ups, bar ups, crunches, punching, kicking, kneeing and elbowing the punching bag, running on the treadmill and shadow boxing. Lots and lots of shadow boxing; with Rodrick pushing her to more of the limit than he did the last time. Hours of training Molly and Rodrick took a rest; with her lying down on the floor breathing heavily and him sitting on the bench quenching his thirst with a bottle of water. "You have to learn how to control your power," he said. "They just come on whenever there's a chasen around, so the second I go through the portal they'll come on," she said. "We're not sure about that." "Yes we are, it's what has been happening this whole time." "But

Everything's going to be o.k.

A new day came and it was time to head out. They packed everything they needed into the back and just like that they were off; Molly, Det. Brighton and Rodrick, leaving Vera behind who they all hugged before they left. Especially Molly who she held onto for a good minute. "You are so brave my love, what you are doing, it is beyond what anyone should ever do. Such sacrifices are too big for one person to make. It's not fair," Vera said. "It's o.k. Vera. Everything's going to be o.k.," Molly said; holding on to her too as tears came to both their eyes; taken so much by the warmth that came from being in each other's arms they didn't want to let go. That could be the last time they were ever going to do so. That could be the last time they ever saw each other and so they had to make that moment last for as long as they could. It was Vera that brought the truth to light. If it wasn't for her Molly wouldn't have known what she really was, what was going on with he

Rod!!

Molly, Det. Brighton and Rodrick were out in the desert waiting on for the chasen to show up; with her tapping into more of the fear she had for it so that it could sniff her out and show up. "This is going to work right?" Det. Brighton asked. "Yeah," Rodrick answered. "It has to." "And she's going to come back right?" "Absolutely. The plan is going to work and everything is going to be o.k." "O.k." An hour later the sun started to rise in the horizon and out of nowhere from just laying there still with her eyes closed, they popped open and Molly quickly sat up. "She's up, something's happening," Det. Brighton said as Molly then stood up. "Oh man, something is definitely up." They got themselves more into position as Molly then took a few steps back; looking all around her like she was waiting for something to happen. Just then her hands starting glowing and they all immediately knew what it meant. "Dammit, her

My name . . . You know my name

A portal opened and out of it walked the chasen. It was back to finish Molly off. She saw it and she thought it would come straight for her but the first thing it headed for were its fallen chasens. It reached the first one and threw it through its portal and it closed behind it. It then did the same to all the chasens and all the portals but one closed. The chasen then turned to look at her and started walking up to her. Molly was on the ground on all fours; she was still crawling and pulling the back pack with the bomb and detonator inside it behind her but had stopped for a breather, struggling to breathe whilst coughing out even more blood. Not only was she bleeding from her mouth and nose but from her wounds as well, losing more and more blood and strength quick. So drained that when the chasen showed up her hands glowed but with a very dim light; her body didn't have the power to light them up to the capacity they were at before. It walked up to her, kicked the back pack away

Eminent weapon?

A moment later, Molly was walking through the hallway of the building she was in with the female chasen leading the way. It was all white with the same white ring lights on the ceiling but in a single line down the middle and about a meter apart. Also here were small box tables with strange silver flowers on them and round translucent glass doors leading to other rooms that had whatever in them. Molly and the chasen reached the end of the hallway where a glass elevator was and when it walked up to the security panel on the side of it, it opened and a blue light scanned its face and access granted the elevator doors then slid open. "After you Molly Moon," the chasen said and Molly walked in and she walked in after her. The elevator doors then slid closed and it started descending as Molly turned around to look more at the view of the moons and the dark ocean. Below was more of the concrete yard that had more chasens standing on it; a sight that

That was my planet . . . My home?

Molly was back in her room; sitting by the window and crying to herself. It was over. Everything they had worked so hard for was over. The plan had failed and now mankind was going to perish.No wonder the chasens were so evil, with a madly driven leader like Admiral Baylanche who wouldn't be. Because of what she had been through she had programmed them to be lethal killing machines whose main job was to take life with no questions asked. And to think it all started from her wanting to be the head her planet's science bureau, the admiral had surely come a long way.She sought revenge on the ones that did her wrong and that wasn't enough. She had proved that she was far smater than the lot of them combined but still that wasn't enough, she wanted more and with the vision she had, she was going to stop at nothing to get it.It was dark and it was frightening and knowing that there was nothing she could do about it was even more frightening. They were right to say

I'm not backing down

Molly was on the verge of dropping to the floor and dying. Her soul was darkened; like the ocean deep where no light ever went. She had such beautiful memories of her family and in mere seconds those memories were wiped out and reduced to nothing like their existence was useless. It obviously was useless to the admiral but to them it wasn't; to them those memories and the way they lived was what made their lives as precious as they were. They didn't have everything; actually they had more to nothing than they did everything and they wouldn't have it any other way. What they had was more than enough. Yes they didn't have proper infrastructure, they knew nothing of science other than making fire, farming, making simple tools, building and fishing and they didn't even have proper clothes, they wore animal skins that they cut up to cover their private parts. It was a very simple life but they had love and they had peace and those were one of the two most priceless things a being

Admiral!

After the fight, a battered, bruised and unconscious Molly was carried on a floating glass bed to her room with the female chasen guiding it. The elevator doors opened and out the chasen guided the bed to Molly's room where they entered it and the glass bed floated above the actual bed and tilted itself to lay her gently on it. The chasen then tapped on the screen of her arm panel and the glass bed floated out of the room as she then tapped once more on the screen and the lights on the bracelets on Molly's wrists elevated her arms off the bed and changed colour from green to white and almost immediately her hands started glowing; exactly like they did back on earth when there was a chasen around. The bracelets were deactivated so that she could access her power to begin healing herself otherwise she was going to die and the marked soul was going to leave her body and disappear from Admiral Baylanche's grasp once again. The chasen stood guard and wasn'
