We just looked at each other for a second. Then, Starla turned into Eros automatically and charged after him. Vladimir stood up and flicked his finger. An invisible force pushed her back.
"Vladimir!!" she hissed. She got up, but fell down immediately.
"Alex!" she yelled in pain. Her foot was twisted in a way that feet aren't meant to be twisted in. Jen put a shield around us and I ran up to Starla holding my hand against her foot. Vladimir broke the shield and twisted her other foot, which made Starla scream and clutch my hair. Her talons dug into my head and I winced in pain.
I healed her other foot and she got up, wobbling. I held her steady and summoned my Tonfa Blasters and blasted Vladimir so many times I couldn't count. I found him there holding Jen as a shield. I dropped my guns.
"Jen!" I yelled. I don't like telling people this, but Jen is my half-sister. I sort of...just shot her. It's a normal reaction when you shoot you family, no? I ran up to her, but Vladimir pushed me back. He looked at Jen with a cruel smile and was about to wrench her neck, but Jen turned into a lion and bit his hand. He yelled in pain.
Jen fell down as a human being. Or angel in technical words.
"What the hell are you doing?! What has she done?!" I yelled.
"Why should I answer that question? Now, its time for the little princess," Vladimir said, looking at Lucy.
No way in fucking hell will that happen. I rushed over to Lucy, and stepped in front of her.
Just in time too. Lucy wasn't hurt what so ever, but I felt something piercing through my chest.
A katana.
I pulled it out of my body and winced with pain.
"What the hell is wrong with you!?" Lucy screamed.
"I'm fine, idiot," I said as I fell down.
"No, you're not! You-" Lucy said as tears formed in her eyes.
"Idiot. Haven't you forgotten my healing powers? This will be over in a flash," I said. I raised my arm to my cut and started the flow of magic. I felt a little better, but I didn't have enough power to even sit up properly.
Before I knew it, Starla had Vladimir by the neck. He struggled and tried to wrench his way out, but Starla held him tighter. As soon as I knew it, he...
"He's gone," Starla said.
"The hell happened?" I said.
"Fools!" I heard him say. We looked around, but I couldn't find him anywhere.
"VLADIMIR!!!" Starla yelled with her banshee scream. We covered our ears.
"Stop it, Starla," Jen rasped. We looked at her.
"Jen!" we said altogether.
"We should have never attacked him," she said.
"Why? He was Vladimir," I said.
"But that wasn't him. That was a clone," Jen said, "This wasn't the same power I felt in Mrs. Rachmaninoff's house."
"But that means..." Lucy said.
"Yeah. The Vladimir you fought wasn't him. And the real one is stronger than this one," Jen said.
That was all I heard before I collapsed.

Chapter 27 ~ Jennifer
"So, what are these ninja costumes for, again?" I asked.
"We need to blend in the dark. Plus, ninjas are awesome," Alex said, passing us shurikens.
"He has a point there. Not the ninja part, but the blending in the dark," Lucy said, "Hey, where's Starla?"
"I'm invisible, idiots. Think harder next time," Starla's voice said. Everyone sweatdropped in their ninja costumes. Soon, only Alex was wearing a ninja costume.
Along with a a bloody mouth and black eye.
I decided that if Starla was invisible, I might as well change as well. I felt myself getting smaller and smaller until all of them were giant size.
"Here, Lucy. You can have my invisible cap. I had it for my 123rd birthday," Starla said. She gladly took it, but accidently dropped it. The cap landed over me and I was stuck inside.
"Help!" I squawked. Lucy quickly picked up the cap and looked at me. I had huge eyes, big talons, and beautiful gray and white feathers.
"You're...you're..." Lucy said.
"A barn owl. This is my transfiguartion powers. Didn't I explain to you about it?" I retorted as I flew up to her. Lucy looked like she was about to faint, Alex put on the invisible cap and she disappeared. Soon, there was a pool of blood on the ground. Alex picked her up.
"Man, this is not stealthy," he grumbled.
"We're not trying to be stealthy, we're trying to fucking attack Vladimir!" Starla said.
"Jesus, we'll be seen if you two won't be quiet!" I hooted.
"Huh?" someone's voice said. We all jumped, at least I knew me and Alex did.
"Oh, it's Lucy," Alex said.
"Yeah, its me. Why'm I bleeding?" she asked seeing blood fall what looked like...nowhere.
"Oh, forgot. Hold still," Alex said, holding his hand against her head. I heard something of a slight sigh, but I couldn't tell who it came from. Could be Alex, exasperated. Could be Lucy, satisfying or feeling better or something like that. Or Starla, who was probably...
I shouldn't say anything or she might hit me.
"There," Alex said, taking his hand off. I had no clue what it looked like, but I could see it wasn't bleeding anymore.
"Thanks," she said.
"Can we get going now?" Starla said. I couldn't see her facial expression. Hell, I couldn't see anyone's! But, whatever, I led the way through the palace. It was night time, probably around 9:30 European Time, since we bombed accidently bombed the White House...which reminds me.
"Starla, can you do a time reverse?" I hooted.
"Sure, for what?" she asked.
"The White House, smart one," I cooed.
"Oh, yeah," she said, sweatdropping. Once again, I couldn't see her, but I could hear her whispering the enchantment. I summoned a screen of the White House and everything was coming back to normal slowly and slowly. People were going backwards into the building and I saw the tracker/nuclear bomb slowly rise up.
I used my ice power to freeze the tracker and I saw it fall down, without an explosion. Just the way it should be. And now that the thing cooled down, it probably won't spontaneously combust again. Thank God for that.
"Let's see...we need to go this way!" I said, flying to the left. I was going to make another left after that, but I saw two guards walking up and down the aisle speaking fast in a British accent.
"Leave that to me," Alex said. He pulled out a contractable bow and arrow and aimed carefully. He skillfully shot two arrows in each of their necks and they fell down. Alex walked over and yanked out the arrows. Then, he wiped the blood on his ninja suit. We trampled/flew/walked our way there.
We flew down more hallways before Starla said, "Stop!" We all froze. Starla summoned some white powder (hopefull not an illegal substance) and blew it straight forward. Soon, lazers and wires were showing.
"Just as I smelled. The smell of electricity," Starla muttered.
"The switch is on the other side," Lucy said, pointing.
"Easy," I said, as I flew around, avoiding the security systems. I pushed a button with my beak and the lazers came off and the trip wires going back into the wall.
Without my owl abilities, Starla's dragon scence, and Alex's stealthiness, we would have never made it there to the final door.
"This is it. He's behind this door," I said. Starla tried to punch the wall, but it hardly made a dent. Alex got out his bazooka, but there wasn't even a scratch. Instead, some writing appeared and a tablet.
"I've been around for thousands of years, but I'm not even a month old. Who am I?" Alex read.
"Oh, shit. A riddle, I'm horrible at those," Starla said.
"Let's see...what's been around...month...?" Lucy rambled on.
"I'm officially stumped," I said.
"But...it must be something in...?" Lucy muttered.
"Lucy?" Alex asked. Lucy had walked up to the tablet. We all crowded over her and saw her write the word "moon". The door started to shake, but it didn't open. Another riddle appeared on the door.
"Lucy!" Starla said.
"Lovely and round, I shine with pale light, grown in the darkness, a lady's delight. What am I?" I hooted. Lucy stood there for a moment with her eyes closed. After a minute, they opened again and her fingers wrote the word "pearl". The door shook again and...well, you already know.
"If you take off my skin, I won't cry, but you. What am I?" Starla read. Lucy autimatically wrote "onion". The door shook again and rose up.
"Lucy, you did it!" I cheered. Lucy turned pink.
"It was nothing. My mom and dad always gave me riddles when I was young. I guess I still got some skill left," Lucy said sheepishly.
"That was great, though," Alex said.
"Thanks," Lucy said. Starla didn't say anything, though but hissed at a man straight across from us.
"Vladimir..." she muttered. The mad smiled cruelly.
"Welcome, children. Ready to play a game?" he asked.

Chapter 26 ~ Starla
After that rude interruption of Zach, I continued to explain the rest of the situation.
"Well, this is new," Jen said.
"What?" Alex asked.
"That, I don't know what this is," Jen said. Starla and I sweatdropped.
"It sort of explains it. You know, usually there's one guardian angel for everyone, but three...there must be some kind of precaution to go with her," Alex said.
"You have a point. There must be something in Lucy that we don't know about," I said, "Something that Headmaster and the rest of the council doesn't want us-anyone-to know."
"Jen! It's finished!" Lucy yelled.
"I got to go. We'll finish this up later," Jen said.
"I'll go with you. I can't stay in the room with Starla alone for more than five minutes," Alex said, following Jen.
"Bastard," I muttered as I followed them. No use staying here.
"This looks right," Jen said, examining the tracker. Lucy slapped her.
"The instructions were in fucking German! Hell, I had to get help from Mr. Cloud Guy!" Lucy said.
"Don't call me that," Zach said. That must be Zach in his human form.
"I'm sorry they were in German alright? It's a habit," Jen said.
"That's a strange habit," Zach said. Everyone nodded, but Jen who turned scarlet.
"Shut up," she said.
"Why can't we just relax until another wave of murders strike?" Lucy pointed out.
"Point," I said. And that's what we did.
For at least five seconds.
The alarm thingy went off and we all took some of Zach and made earmuffs out of them, including little microphones so we can talk. Which I found really gross.
"What the hell?!" Alex said.
"It's the tracker!" Jen said, "Lucy, what does it say?"
"Buckingham Palace!" Lucy exclaimed.
"Oh, fuck, now Kate and Willam are gonna get killed?!" I said.
"They will until Zach steps on it," Alex said.
"Not helping!" I yelled. The earphones went all staticky. I was about to take them off, but then I remembered the tracker has a banshee scream.
"Don't yell in the microphone," Lucy muttered.
"Zach, step on it!" Alex said.
"Um...if you haven't noticed yet, the tracker looks like its about to explode!" Lucy said. She had a point. If you lisstened over the banshee scream, you could hear a faint ticking noise.
That was growing faster and faster.
"Drop it!" Jen said. Alex quickly pushed through the puff and shoved it out of Zach.
"No, wait!" Lucy screamed. More static. Then, the tracker exploded. Little bits of it came flying everywhere in the sky, but most of it landed on...
"The White House!" I screamed. The static was longer, but you could hear people screaming and running for their lives. Man, this reminds me of the the time when the White House was burning down. Lucy ducked as a piece of debris sailed over her head.
Forget that, though. We just bombed the fucking White House.
"Serves you right, Obama!" Zach said. We became all silent.
"What? I was rooting for McCain," he replied. More silence.
"Just get to fucking England!" Alex said, "Oh, no offense if anyone is Brittish."
I sighed and fell into the leather seat. When will we ever get a break?
"Hey, look at the news," Jen said, turing the volume on the flat screen louder.
"...reported dead and their daughter Lucy Cross gone missing. Officials are still unsure about her whereabouts, ut there was no trail of evidence, but of this letter V hanging over the Mr. and Mrs. Cross's heads," the reporter said. Then, the TV showed "BREAKING NEWS" on it.
"Every politian is fearing for everyone's safety in the White House. Yes, the White House was bombed-" the man said, before Alex punched a hole in it.
"Hey! That hurt!" Zach said.
"What was that for?" I asked.
"I don't know. I couldn't control myself, I guess," Alex shrugged.
"So, the way to calm yourself down was punching a hole into a TV," Lucy said. Alex shrugged again. The idiot.
"Hey, we're here," Zach said. We all crowded around the window, Jen's face smashed into it. We saw Buckingham Palace.
And as I looked up, I saw a single dark feather falling from the sky.
"This looks right," Jen said, examining the tracker. Lucy slapped her.
"The instructions were in fucking German! Hell, I had to get help from Mr. Cloud Guy!" Lucy said.
"Don't call me that," Zach said. That must be Zach in his human form.
"I'm sorry they were in German alright? It's a habit," Jen said.
