I knew immediately when she stepped on the grounds. Rose was here and there was definately something off about her. In a split second, I connected to ANTIE so that way she could see what I could.

Creating my hologram form next to Dragon, I leaned over and said quietly into her ear. "Rose is on the grounds. She is not normal."

"Where?" Dragon asked.

"Quadrent 8-21-2006," I replied. After a second, I added, "She's creating a ball of electrical energy."

"Will it knock your systems out?"

"Unknown, but I've already backed myself up onto ANTIE's system to be safe."

"Are you connected to ANTIE?"

"Yes."

"Create Firewall KPR just to make sure that if the attack does harm you, it doesn't snap back onto ANTIE."

"Created."

"Alright," Dragon said. Motioning to Nogard to come with her, Dragon headed out side to where Rose was.

Relaying the situation to my avatar, I found out that Lex had escaped from Koopa's and Shalimar was fighting him. Before I could warn Dragon of this, Rose's electrical ball of energy hit.

"Down there," Nissa said, pointing at a hole just big enough for me to barely fit down through.

"Moochi?" I called. From far down below, I could faintly hear him whine. Climbing into the hole, I slid to the bottom.

"Wynn, hurry! Something's happening back home!" Nissa called from above.

"I'm more worried about Shalmar than Dragon but okay!" I replied. Quickly checking Moochi over, I found he had broken a couple of bones and there was some unusual green lumps on his body. Ignoring them for now, I tucked Moochi into my kimono and created a small cyclone to carry me back to the entrance.

"Hop on my back," Nissa said. "I can run faster than your wind power can carry you."

Climbing onto Nissa's back, I wrapped one arm around her shoulders and used the other to hold Moochi in place. I had barely blinked when we were standing about three yards to the right of Dragon's house. Twenty yards away from the front porch, there was a growing sphere of blueish black electrical energy.

"What the hell is that?" I asked as Nissa set me down.

"Trouble," Nissa replied.

"That's gonna hit the house full on!" I said, calculating the angle. Pulling Moochi out of my kimono, I shoved him into Nissa's arms. "Nis, when I say, move us as far to the left as you can!"

"What are you doing?" Nissa asked.

"Trying to save as many lives as I can," I replied. Dipping deep into my magical well for a second time in two days, I created a massive cyclone to pull the energy ball as far to the right as I could. As the blueish black energy ball started rolling towards the house, I poured all my energy into the cyclone I had created. "NOW NISSA!"

The electrical ball was pulled off course quicker than I expected. Instead of pulling us to the right, Nissa picked me up in her arms and used her body to attempt to shield me from the blast.

Slamming to the ground and skidding backwards a few feet, I grimaced and placed a paw over my stomach. Lex wasn't using magical attacks, probably because of the collar on his neck, but that didn't stop him from using physical attacks. I would use magic in return, but he was able to deflect all of my attacks easily and my magical well was dangerously close to being used up.

Stalking after me, Lex drew a foot backward and sent it flying into my stomach as hard as he could. As I flew into the air, I lost my breath for a moment. Just as I got it back, I cracked an eye open to see that Lex had leapt into the air after me. Cocking his fist backwards, he drove it into my face to send me crashing head first back to the ground.

Blacking out for a second, I was slapped awake by Lex. "Do not tell me that the daughter of Dragon is this weak."

Saying nothing, I scrached at his arm and bit into his hand hard enough to draw blood. Swearing, Lex threw me into a boulder. Crying out, I felt more bones break and felt something that could have been a vital organ burst.

Sliding to the ground, I was dimly aware that the voices were beginning to argue again. Dangling me in the air by my throat, Lex simply grinned as he looked at me.

"Put the child down," someone said to my right. I could have sworn it was mom or maybe Nogard...but as beat up as I was, I couldn't be sure.

Looking to his left, Lex said, "Who the ******** are you?"

"I will tell you one last time," the person said. "Put the child down."

"Screw you," Lex said, raising his fist to hit me again.

Suddenly, a whisp of smoke wrapped around Lex's fist. A second whisp wrapped around his throat. A third and forth wrapped around the arm that was dangling me in mid air.

Choking, Lex dropped me and grabbed at the whisps of smoke.

Raising to my elbows, I looked at the person who saved me. Because my glasses had been broken in the fight with Lex, all I saw was a gray topped black blur.

"Release me!" Lex yelled, struggling against his captor. There was a double snap like breaking twigs and Lex howled in pain. [+1]

Back towards mom's house, there came the sense of impending doom and the voices mentioned something about a mushroom cloud of debris. Falling face first to the ground, I passed out.
