Chapter 28
Nya's POV
"Ready for this wedding, Natalia?" Cole jokes as we walk up to the gate of the wedding in disguise. Harumi decided she wanted a medieval wedding, so we're all dressed up in medieval style dress, which is fairly uncomfortable.
"Of course, Caleb," we use our code names for each other. We don't want to raise any any suspicions by using our own names, since they've become buzz words across the city. The two of us keep our heads down, trying to avoid attention.
Last night, Zane was able to hack in and put all of our fake names on the guest list. Skylor is still going to help lure the guards out so there's less who could recognize us. We wait in the line to get in, separate from everyone else so if one of us gets caught, we won't all be. Karlof and Ash are back further in the line, and Skylor and Juliet are three people up. Skylor, however, is disguised as a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes with a completely different face so they won't catch her.
Once she gets to the front of the line with Juliet, she gives the guard a flirty smile.
"Names," he says.
"Diana Pross and Jamie Rose," Skylor answers with her disguised voice. He nods, crossing the names off the list. He gestures for them to walk through to the past through, but Skylor looks up at the guy who is obviously melting inside. "I hate to say this, but I saw an elemental master a couple of blocks down from here causing so,e trouble." She lowers her voice. "I think it was the fast one...Gordon I think?"
"We'll deal with that immediately, thank you miss Rose," she winks at him and walks through. Several guards leave to deal with Griffin, and the first guard who is checking names is off his game now, distracted by "Jamie" flirting with him.
"Names," he says.
"Natalia and Caleb Johnson," I answer confidently.
"Siblings, married, or neither?" he asks half heartedly.
"Siblings," I answer. He nods, looking off in the distance to where Skylor waves at him.
"Go on," he says, and we go through the short handed security who have to hurry to get people through with their lack of people. We're barely checked before we get through. From a distance, I can hear Juliet complaining about her contacts. Cole and I keep walking, acting like we don't know them to keep the cover up. All of our seats are scattered in the crowd of people, just being with our partners. Everyone heads to their seats, Skylor and Juliet having the closest seats that will still be not conspicuous. The rest of us are scattered throughout the crowd.
Cole and I take our seats at the outer edge of the row. When we sit down, the woman next to us narrows her eyes.
"Do I know you guys? You two look familiar," she asks. I look to Cole, but he looks startled.
"We work at that noodle place just down the street. I think I've seen you there before," I cover for us, hoping it works.
"Of course! I'm so sorry," she quickly apologizes, facing the front. Soon after, the wedding starts. Lloyd walks through with his mom escorting him, but she doesn't look happy. Then, several of Harumi's family members trailing behind. Finally, Harumi walks through with a dress that's obviously worth over ten thousand dollars walk through. She scans the crowd as she walks, so Cole and I briefly look away. Suddenly, she stops.
"You guards had one job," she announces to everyone, but it's specifically directed at the guards. "Seize her, seize Juliet!" Quickly, Juliet pops out of her seat. Skylor stays sitting down, trying to look like she's innocent.
"That's where I knew you guys," she woman sitting next to us spits. "There's two over here too!"
"And over here!"
"And here!" People start to call us out, so we get up. I look up front, and Lloyd is furious.
"Why won't you guys just let me be happy?" he demands, looking straight at Juliet. "Let me be happy."
"That's what we're doing," she says back sadly. Everything is at a stand still. No one wants to make the first move.
"Where the hell is Skylor?" Harumi demands, stomping her foot down. "I'm about to kill that bitch." With grace, Skylor stands up still morphed, and walks into the middle of the walk way. Standing right in front of Harumi, she unmorphs.
"Not if I kill you first," she smirks. "Now, let's talk through this. Take your mind control off of Lloyd, give us back Kai and Jay, and you'll never have to see any of us again."
"I don't have Kai or Jay. Even if I did, I wouldn't hurt any of my boys," she tells me sternly.
"Was that why you sent your guards to attack Jay?" Skylor is getting under Harumi's skin, and all of us are loving it. Slowly, I see Juliet getting closer to Lloyd.
"I don't have Jay or Kai, and Lloyd wants to be here," Harumi takes a step forward.
"Lloyd hates you. You left him broken to find someone else. Juliet helped put back together those broken pieces, but you came back and wanted him, so you brainwashed him to think he wanted you too. It's pathetic, really," Skylor glares at her, crossing her arms.
"I love Lloyd, and Lloyd loves me," she states, which makes Skylor laugh.
"If you loved Lloyd, you wouldn't have flirted with my boyfriend every time Lloyd wasn't giving you total attention," Skylor disproves her statement, and the crowd all look at Harumi for an answer.
"I never did that," she denies brattily.
"You did, I was there for it," Cole speaks up next to me. Both Skylor and Harumi's heads whip in our direction. Harumi looks sad.
"Why are you here? I purposely sent Jay and Kai away into isolation where they couldn't get dragged into this plan because I trusted that you wouldn't, but look at you!" she exclaims with a heavy sigh.
"So you do know where they are," Skylor glares at her.
"Yep, far away from you," she smirks.
"This is your guys' future empress!" Skylor says to the people in disgust. "She's separating us from people we love just to screw with us, and can only get Lloyd to marry her through manipulation."
"I'm done talking. Guards, kill them all, besides him," she points to Cole. "Bring him to me after." Once the order is given, a loud gunshot is heard, and all of our heads whip in that direction. Karlof stands there, blank face, looking down at his abdomen with a hole pierced through it. Soon, he falls to the ground, lifeless.
"You killed him!" Skylor looks at Harumi with rage. "He's done nothing bad to you. Karlof wouldn't hurt a fly."
"Nya, we need to go," Cole tells me, grabbing onto my hand.
"Cole..."
"Nya, they're here to kill. You might not feel the same way about me, but I love you, and I can't let you get hurt. Although I don't really want to admit it, Skylor is a complete badass and can handle them," he tells me, his eyes flooded with concern. Suddenly, another gunshot is heard. Shade falls.
"I can't leave. I'll be fine," I stand my ground. Skylor looks at Harumi with disgust.
"You leave me no choice," Skylor runs around the circle of guards using her super speed, grabbing all their guns. Then, she conjures vines out of the ground that snap them all. All of the guards see this as a chance to attack, so they start charging us. Two guards run in our direction, but Cole creates a rock wall that holds them back. The civilians are screaming and running out, but several guards are shooting some of them, thinking they are elemental masters. My heart falls at all the damage being done around me.
"Hey Harumi," Skylor calls at her. Harumi's head whips in that direction. Suddenly, Skylor morphs to look exactly like Harumi. Harumi looks furious. Then, Skylor runs over and jumps on Harumi, both of them rolling so now you can't tell who is who.
I hear more and more gunshots as we continue to fight, and I see more and more elemental masters fall.
Out of nowhere, I feel a hand on my throat that slams me against the wall. I groan in agony. A forty year old man stands there, smirking, his hand on my throat.
"You're a pretty one," he smirks, getting his face close to mine. I squirm. "What a shame you have to die." I close my eyes, not wanting to look into his eyes and give him the satisfaction of watching the life drain out of my eyes. Deep inside, I feel a surge of energy I've never felt before. It pushes up higher and higher until it reaches my hands. I let it out, opening my eyes. His hand leaves my throat, water propelling him back. I look at my hands and smile. I found my power. More guards attack me, but I can push them away.
However, more and more of them start to circle me as they kill the others, so I start losing. All of us do. Cole is cornered, and Juliet can get no where near Lloyd. He is throwing constant attacks at Skylor, because she accidentally revealed herself as being the wrong Harumi, but she keeps dodging him. He's keeping her occupied. There's another gunshot, and I see Bolobo fall. It's only myself, Juliet, Cole, Skylor, Chamille, and Gravis left, and all of us are outnumbered. It's obvious this won't end well.
A heavy shadow falls over the venue. I look up and see a wave of helicopters flying over with men dropping out of them. My eyes widen. We're screwed. That's until I hear a familiar voice.
"You really thought you could have a wedding without your best man? Come on Lloyd," sliding down a rope, my brother lands in the middle of the venue, everyone's eyes on him. He has on a black suit with a red tie. When I see him, a huge smile comes across my face. It's obvious Skylor is just as happy as I am. She unmorphs from Harumi.
"Kai," she smiles at him. He automatically whips around to face her, a look of adoration in his eyes. Lloyd sees his opportunity and hits her, sending her flying backwards against a wall, part of the wall breaking from the impact.
"Skylor!" he runs over to her, and the fighting commences. I keep fighting, but I watch them. "No no no, wake up, wake up." he holds her head in his hands. He gives her several kisses, but nothing wakes her up. He starts sobbing, and I feel the tears welling in my eyes too.
The people who came with Kai really help, being skilled fighters, but having Skylor down is a large blow. Lloyd is unchecked, so he can take them down in mass numbers. Kai stays over there, protecting Skylor from the guards who try to finish the job off. Juliet continues to try to get to Lloyd, but it's no use. He's too hyper attentive.
However, everything changes when the large screen that's been broadcasting the fight switches to the view of Zane and PIXAL's faces.
