Wanda looked out over the bleak, dry landscape as their all terrain jeep jumped sand dunes and dodged cacti. This term was turning out to be way wilder that she had ever expected. Brushing back a lock of hair that was freed by the desert wind she turned to Carter who sat on the other side of the jeep. "Did he tell you how long it would take to get to this place!" Shouting over the wind, Carter replied quickly, "No! And who choose to let him drive anyway?" His last words were almost unaudible as the car jerked wildly to miss a saguaro cactus. Wanda shook her head, "I dunno! And if it takes much longer I may need my organs redistributed!" They caught air and then slammed into the ground on the other side of the dune. "OW!" Carter leaned closer to make himself heard, "Good thing this is an army issue! Ouuugh! Or this thing would be in pieces!" "We still might be in a while!" The First leaned forward and tapped King on the shoulder, "Hey! Are we almost there? My bones all want to get back to their original locations as soon as possible!" Everyones teeth clacked as the visited another wannabe launch pad. King turned his head away from the desert they drove upon to adress Wanda, "Sure! Don't worry! Another two days and we'll be there!" "What two days! I don't think some of us will live that CACTUS!!!" The jeep swerved and fishtailed wildly before coming to a halt a little ways from the massive obstruction they had just barely escaped greeting. The only sound was the ticking of the engine as it attempted to cool. "King." "Yes?" "Keep your eyes in front from now on." "….okay."
You will be getting several chappies today if I can!
Nexo and his two ladies limped into the bowels of the deep volcano. Surprisingly KK had not locked the door to his dungeon. Then again Nexo figured KK didn't think there was much reason to. The mastermind had never dreamed that his plan would go awry like this. Nexo and Lilly split up and started searching either side of the cell hallway. Nexo paused outside one and peered intensly at a corner darker than the rest. "Pssst!" The shadow moved immediatly and quickly bounded over to the cell door. It was Damian. "NEXO! What…how?!" "I'll explain later, is Essa there too?" "Yeah, she's back there." "Okay...but how are you okay? KK took your powers!" "Yeah, but we regenerate our powers, it has to do with the Fourth Wall. We'll explain that later too, the worst hurts are from being thrown around but we'll live. Now get us out of here!!!" "Okay okay, keep your shirt on." "I'll try." Nexo fumbled with the keys then finally released his captive friends. Essa hugged Lilly relieved to be free and the teens all began slinking back the way they came. "Can you use your powers yet?" "Not really, I can feel a tingle at the edge of my mind but I can't get any thing for now." Nexo felt anxiety settle onto him once again as the safe escape of all these people close to him rested on his shoulders. He trudged toward the massive cavern where they had first entered. As they arrived, the sight of light across the last several yards of grey stone perked the whole group up. Everyone moved faster eager to be free. But Nexo hung back. A strange feeling pricked along his backbone and neck. Watching the other move forward he turned to look behind them making sure they were in the clear. His entire body stiffened into a ridged, frozen column. KK was limping determinedly into the opening they had just cleared.
Nexo's head felt like it was filled with cotton, or helium. He wasn't sure which. The poor villagers had been standing around in clusters for an hour or so now watching as strange people swarmed around their village and through their herds. King had shown up about two days after they had reached the village again, and just in time. Nexo had been worried about leaving their injures untreated much longer. They hadn't been able to leave as their jeep had been salvaged pretty much as soon as they had left it. Surprising the whole group, King had arrived with the two most powerful people of their time. Things had happened almost too quickly for Nexo to follow after that, King and The First and Second had questioned them eagerly, armored trucks holding other Fourth Wall teams had opened and let their teams pour forth the swarm all over the mountain. A linguistics expert was included in somthing called The Fourth Wall Containment Squad, Nexo guessed that they made sure no one found out about the existence of the Fourth Wall barrier. A few helicopters had shown up as well and they were buzzing around making it even more confusing for everyone. An ambulance was parked nearby and EMTs had been seeing to the teens injuries for a few minuites now. Nexo himself was sitting on one of the strechers getting stitches and having bandages wrapped all over him. But his mind was on other things, his gaze rested on King and Damian who where huddled at a different strecher. They both were taking time to grieve over Simon's loss. King had been hit hard when he heard of his agent's end, and Damian was grieving all over again. Before Nexo realized what was happening they were all being swept into separate ambulances and rocketing off back over the desert towards the city. "Hey buddy." A kind looking EMT was leaning over Nexo, "We have a long painful ride ahead of us. So I'm going to give you something to sleep for a bit, okay?" It wasn't really a question as the EMT prepared a syringe an applied it pretty much while he was still talking. But that was okay, Nexo felt super tired anyway. It felt so good to close his eyes and lay still.
Twilight: in NYC once again, specifically, on a hillside outside the Fourth Wall S.A.T.Y.R. HQ:
Nexo gazed contentedly at early begenings of a sunset. It had been a week and things were starting to settle down. For one thing there had been a lot of meetings for King with the First and Second. Nexo had a feeling that they were going to be a lot more involved with this whole thing in the future. Now he was waiting to get his medical clearance to go back to duty. Damina and Essa had already been assigned to new missions and Nexo was eager to continue learning as much as he could. Taking a deep breath of air he felt the stirring excitment of new adventures in the horizon. A soft footstep broke into his thought and he turned to see Lilly. He hadn't seen her since the village and felt weak with relief that she seemed okay. She stepped forward into a hug from him and Nexo let happiness soak slowly into his bones like sunshine, giving a satisfied sigh. "Don't ever leave me." "I won't." Lilly's voice was muffled by his shoulder, but he heard her next words well enough to send a chilly cloud over his happiness. "I have to go on another mission." "What? So soon…couldn't I come, or you could stay." She didn't look at his pleading eyes, "No I have to do my missions." Her voice dropped to a whisper as she made eye contact, "This is bigger than just us. The world's too important." Nexo felt lost for words, "You said you wouldn't leave….but you are." Lilly smiled softly and cupped his chin in her hand, "Silly Nexo. I'll be back soon, don't worry. I promise I will always be with you." Nexo watched her walk to the car nearby and slip inside, wanting to call her back. But he didn't. He knew she was right, and he knew she would always be with him, just like she said.

Chapter Thirty-Three Finale
The beach: Diastemer Mansion It was silent, Thad preferred this silence. Maya was working and he was settled down to read the paper and maybe catch up on some paperwork. But the headline stopped him cold. The clock ticked and ticked loudly as he read feeling cold dread wash over him. He crushed the paper unknowingly and stared out the window, jaw clinched. His father was dead, they had found explosives as the scene. Thad knew in his gut that Fealon had had something to do with it. Fealon had killed his father, and Thad was not going to let that pass.
Ireland: Midday: The main information desk: Lilly glanced about in awe this place was beautiful. She moved up in line and found herself at the desk finally. A young man, 16 or so, was sitting there. "Can I help you?" "Uh, yeah…" Lilly's words petered away as she squinted at the attendant. Thick brown, messy hair. Green eyes. Right build, right face shape… His eyes flickered from side to sife uncomfortably, "Um…Is there something….wrong?" A huge smile broke out onto Lilly's face, "Nope. Not a thing. I know someone who will be very happy to meet you." "Excuse me? Listen, who are you?" A wry smile took the grin's place, "I'm….different." "Why…are you here. Talking to me….In this incredibly weird and cryptic way?" "I came to, you might say, find myself..…but instead I found you." "And what does that mean?" Lilly leaned forward seriously, "I know your brother, and he's been looking for you a long time…….
