Must Read: HERO (A Violence, Mind Control And sex Story) - Season 2 - Episode 47

Finally, the crowd understands that this is for real, and I can barely hear them screaming in panic as they take off running. My ears are ringing so badly, that I can’t make out the undoubtedly pious words Emmanuel says as he picks up his necklace, and another fireball forms in his hands.
My body is too broken for the wangers to fix me in time, and I can see my death in that red-orange ball, as it flies towards my chest.

Stephanie, I think, I’m sorry you have to watch me die.

Oblivion takes me.

Yellow light is the first thing I notice, as I come around.
Good, apparently I made it to heaven, I think. I’ve never been very religious myself, but at least I know I was good enough to come here.

Flexing my fingers and moving my arms confirms that all my pain is gone. Silently I weep, knowing that Earth is now left to the ßokoharms.

Maybe the countries will come together, and put up a good enough defense. It’s a nice thought, but I know it’s not really possible. Humans are too cantankerous.

Oh, gawd. Stephanie. . .!
Pulling my legs underneath me, something doesn’t feel quite right.

Opening my eyes, I find myself staring at the burned remains of my right pant leg.
“What the. . .”
“Oh, good, you’re awake!” A familiar voice spouts, startling me. Strong arms grip me in a fierce hug, before pulling back, and Loveth searches my eyes.

“Good to see you too, sis,” I try to greet her cheerfully, but don’t have it in me right now. I’d lost. And to Team Rocket no less.
“Thanks for coming to get me, but why are you here?”

Apparently she either doesn’t like my words, or what she sees on my face. I soon find out it’s the latter.

“You look like shìt,” she tells me. “Why don’t you try to rest in the healing light a bit more?” I almost laugh as I see how tired she looks.
For a moment, I wonder if she’d watched my battle with the twins, and know that it’s possible, as Vage is always watching me. I notice how upset she seems, and can feel her hands shaking on my arms.
“I’m sorry, I’ll be fine. The wangers,” I offer in way of explanation. They should be strong enough, and my body recovered enough to completely fix all of me. If only they could do the same for my pride.

“Relax, will you? We still have some time before we face the ßokoharms.” I try to get her to calm down, but my soothing tone seems to have the opposite effect.
“You were nearly killed down there, Nick! But that’s. . . It’s not that. . . Something. . . um. . .” Loveth bites her lower lip, as she tries to formulate what she wants to say. “Vage’s been incapacitated,” she finally blurts out, and I feel like my whole world gets rocked.
“Vage? How—?” I demand to know, gripping my sister’s arms now, and completely forgetting about the twins. I feel a knot forming in my stomach, as I worry about the gentle alien, but my logical mind takes over.
If Vage is down, it’s not a complete loss, as there are still six other ships. Ships that can’t fight and I have no experience in leading. Maybe if another alien piloted. . .
“Where’s Varand?”
The fear increases in Loveth’s blue eyes.

“She’s taking care of Vage,” she whispers.

“She’s also piloting the ship.”
“What happened to Vage?” I demand to know again, wondering why Loveth is acting like this, and then it occurs to me. “The eggs?”
Loveth nods, and I can see tears running down her cheeks now. Fear grips my heart. Not the kids, too, oh, please not the kids, too! I have to get to Vage, I know, but I don’t know how to open the hatch that leads to her.

“Vage, Varand!” I yell, hoping to get one of their attentions. “I can’t open the door. Lemme back there.”
“Nick,” Loveth’s hand on my shoulder makes me feel claustrophobic, and I shake it off, “You can open it with the wangers. Just send the command to the ship mentally.” I look at my sister stupidly. Can it really be that easy? I know that she could do it for me, but that has never been Loveth’s way. She’s always willing to help me, but never one to do things for me. How ironic that her ability ends up being the same way.
Without hesitation, I mentally command the ship to open the door, and sure enough, it opens to my right. I dash through it, headless of the blackness that surrounds me. I know I have a few steps before the path turns, and my eyes adjust to the infrared light, before I slam into the wall. I run the entire way to where I know Vage to be, sensing her with my switches, and hold up outside her door, slightly out of breath, and full of dread.

Suddenly I’m apprehensive, not certain what I’ll find inside. Loveth hasn’t told me what happened with Vage’s and my kids. She’d only told me that the alien is incapacitated, and then she’d started crying.
No, I think, they have to be okay. Something about the alien hatching process must have been hard for the mother. Try as hard as I might, though, I can’t convince myself of that. How can eggs hatching be hard on Vage?
