The Saviors

* Oh, I get your post now, Chirantha! It was meant to be an unexpected plot twist, right? It's to bad that its already been altered, though.*

Daniel

I looked down, seeing the Mutant fall toward her death. Mutant maybe, but nobody deserved to die that horrible way.

I one again called to the earth. This time, it took all of my energy. I willed the earth to shift to my will.

Nothing. I had failed.

Then, suddenly, a river that had been blocked from the canyon for hundreds of years flowed through again. I had, somehow, shifted the boulders that must have been blocking it. I sighed with relief at seeing the mutant plop safely into the waters. Then I fell unconscious and tumbled down as well.

*Daniel won't normally have such strong influence on the earth, this was sort of a one- time thing.*

Burns,

"You can be sure that Azul will be back with reinforcements," Korri says grimly.

I nod, "And, knowing him, he probably won't give us any notice, and then pound us into the ground 'til we're all dust."

Suddenly, Zire begins to act very worried, "Kit's gone. No. Can't be. Kit's gone!"

"Shit," I mutter for the second time that day, "Well, hopefully she and Daniel are together now. We need to set up a base camp somewhere close. The we can spare a few minutes to search."

**I really hate to do this, but I'm going to have to drop.**

*What??!!! Why?*

>>>Ditto!!!!???<<<

**Life is getting really busy and I don't have time to keep up my posts. You guys are welcome to keep Korri. Anyone can take over his character.**

**That is kind of sad.

Akira

Falling.
Ever falling.
Death coming closer.
And then the falling stopped.

Everything was black, and she felt herself encompassed in water, all sounds disappeared and the only thing she could hear was the pounding of her heartbeat. And her heart was still beating. She was alive and not dead. Though the crashing of the water was slowly purifying it and she could feel her illusion being stripped away from her. Bit by bit, she felt herself being exposed.

But that wasn't the least of her worries. She felt the pain in her lungs. The pain was sharp and spread through her body quickly as if it was a chemical running through her veins. Instead she knew it was air. But she was trapped in the water for she could not swim.

She kicked and kicked, struggling with the water around her. She needed air, she needed to reach the surface. But she could no swim, and she felt like a rock, having no hope. But the darkness was thinning, light was getting closer, and suddenly she broke free to the surface and got a large breath of air. She kept kicking her feet sporadically, hoping that it would keep her afloat for how ever long it would take her to get to shore.

Her search around her for a platform was halted when she saw a body, floating in the water towards her, being pushed by the current. At first she though the human was dead, but then she noted the rise and fall of the stomach in the few glimpses she got. The person was alive but wouldn't be for long. Pushing herself and kicking harder, she resisted the current and made it to him, and clung to the body hoping that at any minute it would wake up.

But the current was slowing. The thundering of the waves was halting, and soon she didn't have to worry about the crashing waves no longer. She called, and mutant roots from plants reached through the rocks and plunged into the water. She found one, and brought herself over to a small rocky ledge, using the strong root as a form to pull her along.

She didn't notice, but the slightly purified water was slowly purifying the plants roots that had reached it, and slowly they started blooming with clear green colours and beautiful blossoms.

She pulled the body ashore and pulled him up, pressing down on his chest hoping that he would wake up, that he would open his eyes. She felt herself wishing desperately for him to be alive, for him to survive, that she didn't even notice that he was the same one that had let her fall to her death, and she did not know that he was the same one who had saved her.

I saved Daniel.

~Incognito

*I haven't dropped out okay? Kit is still up and running.*

*Can someone punch Silversun and drag her/him here. Because every storybook he/she write, she/he forgets.*

Kitrina,

The woman's scream made her stop, horrified. She scrambled over to the edge to see the woman falling to her death.

But by some miracle reason, a river of water flowed into the ravine, making the woman avoid falling onto the rocks.

Kit barely sighed in relief when Daniel started to scream.

The little girl went over to him, who was now clinging by one hand, and was slowly loosing his grip.

Lying flat on the ground, Kit screamed to Daniel over the sound of gushing water.

"Give me your hand"

He shook his head, and then with a look of desperation and fright, he let go.

"DANIEL!" Kit screamed as the boy fell in slow motion towards the raging water. Falling at a height like this, she knew that he would not survive.

She screamed for help. Screamed for anyone, someone, whether a friend or a foe, it did not matter to her. She felt tears of aching grief fall to the river as Daniel fell into the river.

Standing up, she turned back to the path she came from, crying and sobbing.

She blindly ran into the forest, her girlish sobs resounding through the forest. Wiping her eyes, she ran on. Through her blurry eyes, she saw someone standing in the path.

She stopped running as a hand caught her shoulder and a malicious face looked down at her, which changed its expression to utter shock.

Kit forgot everything, even her urging need to pee, when she saw the face of the person.

She spoke only one word,

"Mom?"

*What do you think?*

>>>Ooooh, good. I'll PM Silversun, and try to drag him/her back<<<

I like this story.

Well, thanks, I guess.

Burns,

As we're setting up camp, I suddenly hear a faint scream.

"Daniel!"

I'm instantly alert. I turn to Zire, questioning with my eyes. He just shakes his head.

"Kit..." he whispers.

"And Daniel," Calli finishes.

"And so it begins," I say. I start sprinting towards where Kit's scream had come from.

**This is getting more interesting by each post hehe@@

Zire

We ran behind Burns who led the way. Having forgotten my weak state by now my mind was calculating all the possibilities of what could have happened to Kitrina. Someone had screamed, he knew that scream, it was Kitrina's scream. My heartbeat increased with every step I took. I did not want to find her lying somewhere stone cold and dead, she had to be alive.

I saw Burns suddenly stop and move his head as if he was looking around. I knew that he was listening for something that we seemed to have missed. Then suddenly a few seconds later he resumed running.

The forest was getting less dense. We seemed to be running towards an opening and we should have reached it if we had not spotted two figures standing stock still in front of us.

One of them was Kitrina.

**Umm, okay*

Azul

Akira was in danger. I felt it. She was in mortal danger and she was very close. I tried to turn around and run to her but it was at that same time that the Saviors decided to attack.

An arrow made out of what seemed like boiling water pierced through, into my shoulder before melting an instant later. I hissed in pain, the arrow had taken me off guard. I knew I should have had been paying more attention.

"What? I forgot. Kitties don't like water" said one of the saviors, Calli in a very mocking tone.

I snarl before hissing "You'll regret that". I turned around again, wanting to get away, but seeing no way yet.

The water did not particularly bother me as much as it bothered Akira, but I still hated it as it made me tense and wet and annoyed and angry and more wet.

"Yeah, we're all terrified, Azul." Burns said, rallying together with Calli.

I knew that I could not waste more of my time, Akira was a fellow mutant. All we mutants had were each other. The commander had taught us that years ago.

I snarled in reply before running into the forest in search of Akira.

**okay guys?**

I woke with a start.

Slowly, painful memories began returning to me. They were fragmented, but enough.

I remembered floating helplessly, death upon me. Waves showering constantly. I had lost all breath.

But then, somebody gripped me, and began pulling. The flow became calmer, then there was no flow at all. Then nothing.

I sat up. The mutant was sitting to the side. I instinctively defended myself, but I soon abandoned this idea. Who else could have saved me.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"No time," she replied. "We have to find your friends. You need some decent medical attention."

Burns,

We stare (or in my case, listen to) at Kit and her companion, who are, in turn, staring at each other. Zire pipes up uncertainly.

"Kit?" he says. She doesn't seem to hear him. He says her name again, louder. Nothing happens. She steps towards the other, unidentified person.

"Mom?"

I cock my head. What is this all about?
