I am so mad I can hardly see or hear. All I care about is getting to Tuera and giving her my rage. I can vaguely sense commotion going on, but I don't pay attention until I hear the shouts if, Icy! ICY!, and then I am paying attention. Suddenly, Tuera steps back. She says, "Rae! We used to be friends! Is this how you treat your friends!?" I pause, and think, ' No, it isn't. When my friends are hurt, I help them.' I jog over to the huddle of my friends around Icy. "What's wrong?" I say.

I open the portal, green light floods the room.

Octavia hovers towards it, and I follow.

I see my army, and the world I left those years ago.

SailhVAne has died. All hail SailHaven. 

Troops pour out of the portal. I follow at a distance.

Our army flies toward Alashri. Soon, very soon, I can challenge Catastophe. 

Everything has gone wrong. Icy is lying on the ground, explosions are going off, and I am about to die. I know that as soon as they kill me their big job is done, and that they will possibly save my friends. They have already took shadow, and I have no idea where they took her. I dodge bullets and shrapnel, knowing that it is only a short amount of time before one of them hits their mark.

So Elliot, does your last post mean that the thread SailHaven is dead and that I should die too?

So what happens next? Are they still trying to kill me?

Yay I'm not the only person that knows that stupid vocabulary word shrapnel!

Not that you're stupid for using it, just that I thought I'd never have to use it!

Tuera -

I must say, it struck me hard when Rae ignored my friend offer. But I quickly hardened. Mina was no where to be found and neither were Riuex or Auva, probably setting up the explosives. I didn't see Olympia, but I knew she hadn't left. Sprocket was in a cage, Trillian, Rae and Kimilene were huddled over Icy and I was stuck in the middle. Finally, I knew what I had to do. When Icy got to her feet, I pulled Rae aside.

"Rae, please believe me. Auva and Riuex are setting up explosives upstairs to kill you all. We need to get out of here, NOW." 

CORRECTION 

In my previous post I said about Sprocket being in the cage. Sorry, Sprocket and shadow for confusing you both!!! >_<

I'm not sure why, but I listened to Tuera when she told me that they were upstairs, setting off explosives. I called Sprocket  over, and Tuera repeated herself. We all got together, Sprocket and I carrying Icy. Sprocket led us out through a secret tunnel, and suddenly we were in the ruins of Sailhaven.

Sorry I know it was fast, someone can rewrite it if they want to, more descriptively. 

We surface into the ruins of SailHaven. Ash twirls around us, making everything blurry. The buildings are crumblimg, and one solitary dog rummages through the wreckage of a butcher's shop.

Looking at all of the destruction brings tears to my eyes. This used to be my beautiful home, the place were I belonged. Now it was gone.

we exit the tunnels just before the explosions detonate, blowing the entire sector of SailHaven off of the map. I felt terrible. It had been my idea to  hide in the tunnels and we had been found almost immediately. The other girl was here now. Taurine was it? I turn to her and pull out my black sword. "How did you find us?"

i look at the group and try out my hand (ish I don't have hands) made voice box and say.

Look. That's not the last of the bombs. Follow me, I think I know a safe haven. It will deflect energy signals. If you want to live, follow me.

And I scuttle off. 

"Tuera," I say to the group. 

Tuera turns to face me wide-eyed.

She holds out her hands. "L-look, this is not what it seems," she stutters. "I'm taking them prisoner."

"No you're not," I reply.

"What?" Tuera asks, confused.

Icy grins and turns to face me. "Looks like you won't have to spy for us anymore."

Tuera finally gets it along with the rest of the group when we hear shouting above our heads.

Riuex flies sloppily away, carrying Auva in her arms.

Sprocket aims her weapon, but Icy holds her back from firing.

"Just let them go," Icy sighs. "They're running away back to Octavia."

While the rest of the group recovers from the explosion, I pull aside Icy.

"Is there any way I could visit Shadow?" I ask. "I really need to set things right."

Icy nods. "I know," she replies. She pauses. "Actually, I heard she was in SailHaven. We can help you find her."

So we're all friends now?
