Chapter 14 - Separated!

I knew it! It wasn't a normal dream. There really was someone down there.

We looked below and saw the huge trees falling one by one in a row. But the giant couldn't be seen. He was uprooting trees as he progressed forward. Then finally, once the warship was directly above, a giant roared and jumped into the air. He was about thirty feet tall. I could barely pull it together after looking at the giant.

Amanda and Oliver screamed as the warship got hit by the humungous hand of the giant, almost making it seem like he was slapping someone. "Hang in there!" Xavier and said, using the other two levers on the side. He yelled, "Take this!" The machine gun fired infinite bullets and the giant immediately went down, destroying about fifty trees as he fell.

We relieved and were just praising Xavier when another noise was heard. This was of something clashing with the metal of our ship. I looked down to see a grappling hook fixed to one of our machine guns and a figure was speeding towards us. It was as if he was flying. I announced in a low tone, "Its Mark." Xavier got alert and watched the boy as he reached the warship.

He climbed up to the doorway and was now seen right outside through the transparent door, looking at us with rage. He shouted and used his grappling hook's sharp hilt to break the door. "It's made of hard glass." Xavier said proudly but almost immediately, Mark broke into the room. The grappling hook was too sharp and had pierced into the door. Entering inside, Mark scanned us.

"Xavier, fly the ship. I'll take care of him." Saying so, Oliver unsheathed Tortunem. The weapons clashed and the clinging of metal was heard. "Quester is too strong for you, worm!" Mark said. Apparently, his weapon's name was Quester. He could also use it for travelling. I would have liked him as a friend if only he wasn't attacking my best pal. He wasn't joking. Quester defended Oliver's attacks and went in for aggression when Oliver wasn't noticing.

The fight was too intense and Xavier was having a hard time flying the ship. Just as I went to help Oliver, Mark played it smart and pushed Oliver out of the ship. Oliver though, was a quick thinker and pulled Mark with him.

I quickly rushed to the edge to see Mark's right hand on the ledge with Oliver below him. That's when Xavier lost all his control over the ship and it tilted left. All of us went down, trying to grab hold of something before we too joined Oliver and Mark outside. "Should have just put the seat belt on!!!!" Lily screamed. I was not concentrating on them. Oliver had my attention.

Mark shouted, "Go away, stupid!" He kicked his legs in the air to shake Oliver. But my pal had a firm grip. Slowly, Oliver too grabbed the ledge which made him and Mark parallel to each other. Mark used Quester at Oliver but he too had his Tortunem ready. Not the best place to fight, right?

I stretched my hand towards Oliver and he was about to climb when Mark launched himself at Oliver. They both were in air, rushing towards the ground. They punched each other as they fell. In the air, Mark took out his other weapon, a crossbow. It wasn't common for a person to have two weapons but Mark did.

Mark fired a few bullets at me. I was standing at the edge and would have surely got hit if it wasn't for Magnum. Immediately, I raised Magnum and to my utter astonishment, a translucent red shield appeared in front of Magnum. I was saved. I couldn't believe it and looked behind at my friends to confirm what had just happened. Lily, Amanda and Xavier all three were staring at me with their jaws open. "Another magic! You learnt to use Magnum as a shield!" Lily exclaimed.

My amazement vanished almost immediately as I looked down to see no one. Oliver and Mark had reached down and I didn't even know if they were alive. Xavier got hold of the controls a bit. I entered inside again to have my seat in front. "The controls are going wild. The attacks were too intense. We need to land!" Xavier declared. I looked at him with shock. "Where are we going to land?" I asked. Xavier looked at the readings on the monitor below him and concluded, "There is a river close by. We have to land." Saying so, Xavier used all his skills to fly the ship. The shaking ship somehow managed to fly as the river appeared.

"Get ready. We will exit the ship at about twenty feet before jumping into the water. When I say jump, forget everything and just jump!" Xavier announced. Amanda and I were okay with that. "Jump into the water!!!" Lily shrieked. I had totally forgotten that Lily feared water.

We kept convincing her till the ship got extremely close. Amanda, Lily and I went to the edge of the ship and got ready. The speed at which we were closing in was scary. "Jump!!" Xavier screamed and all three of has went for a dive. Xavier left his seat and jumped behind us.

And then, we hit the water.
