Part 22: The Finale

                                    

                                          
After a few hours had gone by the truck finally came to a stop. The guards got up and unlocked the back door. They began to unload the people. Once everyone was out of the truck the guards went to the back of the truck and grabbed Mom, Dean, and Shane. I slowly followed them as they walked into the base.
                          
"Where do you want these three Captain?" The guard asked.
                          
"Place them in the room next to the control center. We need to teach them a lesson." The Captain responded.
                          
I slowly followed behind as the guard took them to a small room. I quickly snuck by as the guard closed the door and locked it.
                          
I made myself visible once again.
                          
"Are you guys okay?" I asked.
                          
"We are fine hun. How are you able to make yourself disappear?" Mother asked.
                          
"I don't know. It just happened. And thank goodness it happened, or else we would all be tied up right now." I responded.
                          
"Alright, enough chitter chatter. What are we going to do once the Captain pays us a visit?" Dean asked.
                          
We all stood there trying to think of a plan now that we were inside the base. Not only inside, but next to the control center. The only thing I knew was we had to get Shane to the control center to shut it down.
                          
"Dean, you need to get Shane to the control center and keep him safe so he can shut everything down. Mom and I will take care of the Captain and Black Shadow. The sooner you get the controls down we can get the rest of the people from Saruta back on our side." I announced.
                          
Everyone agreed and we patiently waited for the Captain to arrive.
                          
The door opened and The Captain walked in with the Black Shadow shutting the door behind him.
                          
"So, you guys want to keep playing games huh?" The Captain said as he began to laugh.
                          
"Why?" I yelled at him.
                          
The Captain looked over at me with a puzzled face.
                          
"Well, I didn't know we were able to catch you as well.. Astra." The Captain said.
                          
I was shocked knowing that he knew my name. How did he know my name?
                          
"Why did you destroy our planet? Why are you trying to control this one? Why?" I continued to scream. I could feel my face burning. I was so angry with him.
                          
"Because I like power. And I can get power here. I tried long ago on Saruta. I wanted full control. Til your father decided to metal in my business. Your father believed in peace. That stupid man." The Captain began to say.
                          
"If he only would have stopped metaling then I wouldn't have had to strap that bomb to his car."
                          
I looked over at Mother and she was furious. She began to run at him. The Black Shadow waved her hand and knocked mother backwards. She was sitting on the ground, tears filling her eyes.
                          
"How does it feel Astra? How does it feel to face the man who killed your father?" The Captain said.
                          
I looked up at him and looked him straight in the eyes. Not a tear would drop. I wanted him to know he would pay for what he had done. I began to walk towards him. Flames started to burst from the palms of my hands. I started to shoot balls of fire at him.
                          
Mom was still sitting on the ground. She threw her legs around and knocked the Black Shadow to the ground. This allowed Dean and Shane to escape quickly and head to the control center.
                          
The Captain began to walk backwards and we were now in a bigger space outside of the small room we were in. I began to pick up the pace and ran straight towards him.
