When Cithians Attack

  Chapter 5 Meeting A Rangrate

  We appeared back in the mustang. We could still the commotion inside. The screams that asked where we were echoed from inside the hospital. Alarms were blaring and saying: “Code mythical!” The strikers came out the front doors of the building. We pulled out of the parking lot. The strikers got into their black S.U.V as they chased after us.

  I pressed the red button.

  “It’s faulty, dad.”

  “Press the green button already!”

  The Strikers shot at us with a shotgun. I pressed the green button. Metal wings grew out of the doors as we flew up into the air.

  “New Message.” the Mustang said. My dad pressed a blue button. A mail-reader popped out of the radio.

  “Skyrid,

  I’m coming to get what’s rightfully mine.” My dad read.

  My dad looked at me.

  “This must be from Furliceo Woolsley.” he said

  “What’re you gonna do about it?” I said.

  “I’m sending you to Kodyack’s for your safety.” My dad said.

  “Who is this Kodyack?” I said.

  “He’s a family friend.” My dad said.

  “Dad, I don’t wanna go. I wanna stay and help you fight him.” I said.

  “You need more training. Kodyack will prepare you for that.” My dad said.

  “How’s he supposed to protect me?” I said.

  “With his powers. He’s the Warrior Master.” My dad said.

  “I still wanna stay!” I said.

  “You’re going whether you like it or not.” My dad said.

  I saw a man with a blue face.

  “Dad, look!” I said.

  My dad landed the car. My dad looked out my window.

  “I don’t see anything.” he said.

  “He was there.” I said.

  “Who was?” my dad said.

  “A man with a blue face.” I said.

  “We gotta go now!” My dad said.

  I cracked my knuckles nervously. Who is this Furliceo? What does he want with me?

  My dad pressed the red button. We landed in front of our House. My dad drove into the driveway. We both got out of the car. My Mom came out and pulled us inside.

  “I got the message. What should we do?” she said.

  “You’re gonna take Skyrid to Kodyack’s.” My dad said.

  “Right. I’ll get his suitcase.” My mom said.

  My Mom went downstairs and into the garage. She reappeared with a large brown suitcase in her hands. She came up the stairs. My sister came into the room. Her blonde hair shimmered off the reflection of the sun. Her green eyes sparkled like jewels. Her face shone off the reflection of the sun.

  My Mom went into my room. I ran into my room crying. My Mom magically folded my clothes with the tips of her fingers.

  “I don’t understand why I have to go!” I said.

  My dad came towards me.

  “Skyrid,”he said “Furliceo is coming for that Helios part around your neck.”

  “What’s my pendant got to do with this?” I said.

  “Furliceo needs the strength in it because, he’s dying.” My dad said.

  Thoughts ran through my mind.

  Furliceo is coming for my pendant. But why? And, how much strength does the pendant really hold? Could it really stop Furliceo from dying?

  “Why can’t you just shoot him?” I said.

  “A bullet isn’t powerful enough to kill a Cithian.” My dad said.

  “Why not?” I said

  “Too much light in their bodies. It acts as a shield against all bullets.” My dad said.

  My dad sat on my bed beside me.

  “You have to go.” he said. “It’s too much of a risk to keep you here.”

  “What about Crystal? Where will she stay?”

  “She will stay.”

  “She’s staying here? Why?”

  Crystal came into my room.

  I got off my bed. I flipped the light switch. Light filled the room. I saw my dad more clearly. My big sister, Crystal came up to me.

  “I already have all the necessary training I need to fight Furliceo.” she said.

  “How?” I said.

  “I went to Gailems. A school that shows Cithians how to control their powers.” Crystal said.

  “So, wait, you’re a cithian too! Why didn’t all of tell me this before?”

  “We never trusted you enough to not rat us out.” My dad said.

  "Why not?" I said.

  "We always knew you wouldn't understand until you got powers of your own."

  My mom finished packing my suitcase. She zipped it up. She touched my hands. A green portal appeared. My mom and I walked into it.

  We appeared in front of a small blue house. It had white stairs leading up to it. A door with a golden handle was on the front of the house. One blue glass window was on each side of the house. The roof was black like charcoal.

  There was no chimney. Just an air conditioner hanging out the left front window. A man came out the door. His gray shirt was loose and showing his bulky white chest. His jeans were loose too.

  Kodyack stood in front of us.

  “It’s time to go to Gailems.”

  Kodyack led us up the staircase. A room was in front of us. It had a blue teleportation beam inside it. We all walked inside it.

  “This is cool! Where’d you get it?” I said.

  “It was an invention of mine. I made it when I was your age. “

  “It’s amazing.”

  Thanks. Teleporter, take us to Gailems.” Kodyack said.
