Chapter 18: Getting Help

Jamie then groaned as her eyes fluttered opened. She slowly sat up, holding her head. She then felt it was wet and she looked at her hand to see blood. That's when she remembered what happened: when Stella fired at her and she cut the bullet in half, one half grazed her head, but it still had enough force to knock her out. Then she remembered Striker, making her get up in a panic.

"Striker! Striker, where are you?!" she called, but received no response.

She kept calling for him, but there was no sign of him. She then sat on the desert floor and pulled her knees to her chest, crying. She felt she failed everyone: Gabe, God, I.M.P., Stolas, Via, and Striker. It poured out of her before she felt a wave of determination. She had to help Striker with the others.

(A/N Play video now please.)

"I know I'm scared
And I know what he's been through
Look in my eyes
I am also frightened too
So let's take one step at a time"

She then stood up and changed her outfit to train.

(A/N Her outfit.)

"I won't give up
That's one thing I swear will be true
For it's said by the wise:
'Keep your eyes on the prize'
And I've got my eyes on you

It's hard to trust
When you've been misunderstood
But starting now,
We'll be treated like we should
So let's take this ride till it's through

I won't give up
That's one thing I swear will be true
And I won't give in
I'm stronger than they ever knew
Don't try to run
'Cause I'll just be there when you do
For it's said by the wise:
'Keep your eyes on the prize'
And I've got my eyes on you"

She started training as hard as she could the rest of the day to make sure she was prepared for whatever Stella would throw at her.

"I won't give up
That's one thing I swear will be true
For it's said by the wise:
'Keep your eyes on the prize'
And I'll keep my eyes on you"

She panted as she finished training. She then heard the portal open, making her take a defensive position. But she soon relaxed and felt tears of happiness form when she saw who came through.

"Blitzø? Stolas? Guys?" she asked as they all came through.

"Jamie!" they exclaimed before hugging her, which she returned.

"We're so glad you're okay," Stolas told her.

"Yeah we were really worried about you," Via added.

"By the way, love the new look," Loona commented.

"Thanks guys," Jamie smiled as they all parted.

"So, where's Striker at?" Moxxie asked.

"She had to have taken that d*ckhead out," Millie smirked.

"He got a lucky shot though. That f*cking bastard," Blitzø remarked, noticing the graze mark on her head.

"Actually, no to both. Striker and I made a temporary truce until we got out of here. But when we got here, he wanted to make it a permanent one. And as I got to know him, he started changing for the better. But then Stella showed up, shot me, then took Striker. And we need to go save him," Jamie said.

"What?! Do you not remember all he's done?!" Blitzø objected.

"I do remember. But he's changed. He could've killed me at any time, but he chose not to. And now, Stella has him and who knows what he'll be put through for sparing me. Please, I need your help," she pleaded then added with a smirk, "Besides, who else has the badassery to take on the head bitch herself?"

"Oh, she knows how to win you over, darling," Stolas smirked at Blitzø before adding seriously, "And while I still have yet to see this change, I trust Jamie's word and that's enough for me."

Blitzø looked torn before looking at the others. I.M.P. looked uncertain about it.

"Guys, you know Jamie isn't one to lie to us. I think we should do this," Via said.

The others still contemplated on what to do before finally nodding and looking at Jamie.

"We're in. But we're with Stolas; we need to see that he's changed," Blitzø stated.

"That's fair. Thank you, guys," Jamie thanked.

"But how do we find him?" Millie wondered.

As they tried to think of that, Jamie remembered her GPS, which she pulled out.

"When Striker and I were first sent here, I used this to see exactly where we were and it had his presence on here. If I zoom out enough, we might be able to see if he's still in Hell," Jamie informed.

"Nice work," Moxxie commented.

She then had a larger holograph version of the map appear before then then started zooming out. She then noticed two signatures at a palace near Stolas's home.

"That's gotta be them," Loona said.

"I agree," Jamie nodded, made the holograph disappear, then added, "Now let's go kick that bitch's ass."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A/N The others found Jamie and now they're going to save Striker. This ought to be interesting.
