Sabotage

The three of them carried Razzak out and put her beside the road with a 'Help Me' sign stuck on her back.
" Should we move to the coordinates that were provided? " Kian asked, flexing his wrist though there was visibly nothing on them.
" I think we should. But are we sure that we can control this now? "
The three of them looked at each other.
" Let's give it one last try! "
Xen opened his leather jacket and pulled out what seemed like a pen. But before anybody could blink an eye, it turned into a mighty Staff and the bracelets on Kian's and Braze's wrists became visible.
" Seems like it works fine! "
They quickly put it away and left for the designated coordinates.
Upon arrival Braze was shocked as he witnessed vet Layla up and alive, getting mauled and manhandled by not only Robert but another person.
He was forced to believe the Gala theory that was put forth but it was never easy watching someone whom you knew as a human getting hurt.
As soon as they neared , the Gala sensed the immense power source that they carried along. Her eyes turned towards Braze and she tried putting herself behind that victim card.
Braze ignored her and walked up to Robert.
" Meet my brother. This is Quill! " He pointed towards the other person as they tied the Gala up properly with what looked like a special kind of handcuff.
" Should we start moving? " Robert asked the boys but Xen looked around.
" Where are the Watchers, George and his sister? "
" They are healing. I don't think they will be able to accompany us. " Robert answered.
Xen didn't look satisfied with the answer.
" We don't need them to, but where were they sent for healing? A normal medical facility would be inefficient against those levels of wound. "
Robert looked at unease. Xen backed off a little, he spread his arms so as to shield Kian and Braze.
" You called the Watchers! " Xen prayed that he was mistaken.
" We had no other option. It's for the better, isn't it. You will have an ally in us. I can assure you that. "
Robert looked apologetic.
The Gala, broke out in a loud laughter. Her giggles added salt to their wounds.
" The Halfling tricked the poor orphans. What a mess! "
Robert slapped her hard.
" Stop calling me that, you wretched b*tch! "
Blood trickled down from the side of the mouth but she kept laughing. " Why shouldn't I? You are what you are. A bastard created between a human and a Chemorian. You got the Chemorian genes while your pathetic brother got the human ones. Did you never think where your powers came from?You are the Watchers' lap dog. They picked you up from the trash to do their dirty jobs. "
She laughed again but then the sound of sirens filled the atmosphere.
It was as if a dozen police vans were headed their way.
" What's happening? " Xen enquired, looking rather angry at the situation.
" I think the Watchers are here, though I don't understand what the ruckus is all about. They were coming to aid us in this mission. " Robert left Layla in the care of Quill and walked a little up ahead and strained his eyes.
" I don't think it sounds good. Xen, Braze, do you think we should be leaving? "
Roberts' eyes stretched wider. Choppers flooded the sky and surrounded them from all corners.
" Shit! Should we try using this Staff on them? There are too many of them. We can't fight them with brute strength. Braze suggested taking a defensive position .
" We should have never trusted a Watcher to begin with... " Xen murmured through gritted teeth.
Braze's eyes fell on the Gala as the Watchers pulled out their guns and they pointed in their direction. Layla tried one last time to manipulate Braze, to break free from her handcuffs.
She pointed at Quill, who had the keys.
Braze tried to switch sides without informing Xen or Kian, because the current one was definitely not working.
He rolled over and went behind Quill.
Before he could take the keys from him, rounds of bullets went off.
Everyone ducked and tried to find cover.
Watchers snooped down immediately and started rounding them off even before they could put up a proper fight.
They took Quill and Robert first as they tried to explain themselves and persuade them otherwise.
Next was the Gala and then they came for the boys.
Xen and Kian weren't ready to go down without a face off. But surprisingly one of them removed their mask and bowed to greet them as they came near.
" We come in peace, Chemorians. There is no need for violence. We have news from your home planet.
We are hoping that you might want to learn the history and reason behind why each of you were sent down here. This is not a trick. We are not going to arrest you.
Just come with me. "
He extended his hand.
Xen and Kian looked at him ,very skeptical.
" We have other priorities at the moment, Mr.Watcher.Let that Gala go. We can come back to meet you later. Someone's life is at stake here. Someone very close and special to us. "
Braze declared.
" Well, you see, the territories of Earth are under our jurisdiction. We are not here to cause any violence but if you try to treat us as irrelevant or treat our planet as a hotel where you can check in and check out at your own convenience, well you are gravely mistaken. "
The rest of them had already surrounded them and now their guns pointed at their chest.
" If you would not come with us peacefully, willingly, we will have no other option but to force you. "
Xen walked forward and pushed the nuzzle down and glared in the eyes of the one talking to him.
" Alright boy, let's see what they have to tell us. I am sure it would not take long. There is no way that they will be able to stop us when we have the power of the Heartstaff with us. "
Xen addresses his comrades but stares the Watcher straight in the eye.
The HeartStaff was buried in their bodies. Without the three of them working together it was as good as their own flesh.
It was as if they had become the Heartstaff... The Heartstaff was them.
