Kolerin Forest 3

Libra was swept up in the crowd easily a mile from where they started, people shoving and pushing and what not. He didn't want to risk teleporting since he couldn't sense Willow anymore for some reason.

~

"Fuck you..." Zero muttered nonchalantly as he blew up another part of the weapons factory, "Fuck you...and you...and you..."

Every time he cursed something exploded, be that a machine or a stockpile of weapons.

"Libra!" Willow called searching for him.

Libra tried looking around but didn't see Willow anywhere. There were too many people. Eventually he bumped into someone...and that someone wasn't exactly someone friendly.

"Hello Libra!" he said grabbing him by the neck. The guy lifted Libra up with almost no effort and started walking away.

The kid saw the sword on his waist...no one used swords anymore...except Jonah because he was a cyborg that could block bullets that way...

Shit...

Willow kept searching until she found him with another cyborg. She growled to herself.

"Let me go!" Libra protested struggling against the dude's grip

"Nah..." he replied still walking like he were carrying a duffle back instead of a living Mobian

"Lave him alone." Willow hissed from up in the air. She growled at the cyborg who had him.

(Aaaand... Gaia mode activate...)

Noticing her brother being kidnapped, Gaia leaped out of her hiding place and attacked. The little stalker was too sneaky for her own good, because neither the kidnapper nor her brother knew she was even there. She attacked the creep from behind, "Hey-lo!" She jabbed a blade into the back of his neck, severing his vertebrae whether they were organic or synthetic, "I'll just be taking my brother back now. Thank you, come again!"

(Stop with the cheesy phrasing.

Gaia: But it's fun! XD)

The cyborg dropped...on top of Libra...

"Mmmmmmmmm!!!!!!" Libra shouted muffled as a dead cyborg now lay atop him.

(XD Oh my God...)

"Uhhh, oops?!" Gaia used a little blast of Chaos energy to get the thing off of her brother, sending it tumbling across the ground, "Sorry!" She then grabbed one of Libra's arms and helped him up, "You need to stop almost getting abducted. Seriously, you wonder why I get stalkerish with you!"

"I could've taken him!" Libra argued, his face turning red as he did.

"I doubt that when you weren't fighting him." Willow replied from above.

Libra jumped looking up, "Where the hell did you come from?!"

"Vines." she answered, some vines were around her and kept her up in the air.

Libra facepalmed, "So she is a supernatural..."

"Well duh. I used vines to help us out when we first met." she replied.

"Silly me..." Libra said scratching his head, "Would you believe me if I said I thought that was a weird coincidence?"

(Libra you moron...

Libra: What? I thought it was!

Libra...you went full retard...never go full retard.)

"I'd believe that you'd be a bit stupid." she said teasingly.

Gaia was getting bored with their bantering, and interrupted, "Anyway, Lee, I'm wondering if some weird secretive stuff isn't going on. Mom and Dad left with Uncle Lance earlier and didn't give us much of an explanation... They still weren't back when I left to find you."

Libra stood up and started thinking, "They didn't mention anything to me about it...then again, we could probably ask dad being that he's over there," [he hooked a thumb towards the burning building where everyone was running from like it was an everyday thing] "blowing shit up...as usual."

"Okaaaay..." Gaia frowned, now wondering what was going on even more. Her mother never went to help Zero blow stuff up, especially not with Rory still being sensitive about missions ever since what happened back at that Sect base... Just then she got a text from her little sister, and looked at it, "Huh, apparently Mom and Lance are home... Rory says Mom doesn't look too good though. Something must've happened." Come to think of it, her mother had been ailing a lot lately, and though she took more of her stabilizer shots, they didn't seem to help...

Looking up at Willow, Gaia asked, "Do you mind cutting your date short? I wanna check something out at home and I'd like it if Lee came home, too. You can come, of course. Maybe you'll be helpful."

Libra's eyes widened and his voice was flooded with concern, "Something's wrong with Mom?"

(Lee's a total momma's boy...

Libra: I AM NOT!!!! >/////<)

"I won't be very helpful and we're not on a date." Willow said.

Libra would've begged to differed but he'd been kinda friendzoned so...

(Alright...I'm off to sleep. See yall tomorrow...)

(Willow, stahp friendzoning Libra! D8< You need to live happily ever after or else!

Gaia: That sentence was hilarious.

*flails* I dun care!)

"Sure you can be helpful, you can keep my little sister out of my hair because she'll be asking a thousand questions the moment I step into the house with a plan," Gaia said bluntly, then looked up at her brother and growled, "Do you ever check the texts Rory sends? I mean, sure a lot of them are stupid pictures or something, but every once in a while they're important. Not to mention that you should have noticed Mom has been getting worse over the past several weeks... She's tired all the time, bruises easily, and had a seizure. Her shots aren't helping, so I think something is up. Something I'm gonna prove."

At that, the fourteen-year-old started marching towards home, then stopped and turned to Lee, "We'd be home a lot faster if you just teleported us."
