It Ends With US

There is something about the Valoria's that people are so annoyed with. It even caused some of my parents' friendship. I, in fact, for one lost a childhood friend.

People hate us because we don't know when to back down. I don't care about anything else. I am not giving up my sacred pair. Never.

I struggled myself away, freeing my arms from the people pulling me by my arms. "Hal!" I screamed. "Don't let them get away!"

Hal was confused. The Nero's team is too far but anyway, he followed me. He gave me a nod and ran towards the direction where Aaron run too.

I kicked the guy on my left. This helped me get free from the other guy's grasp and before they could get back to me, Nica already punched them down. Both are knocked down. I gave Nica a nod and we both followed Hal.

Nica found a gun on the ground, "I'm going to use my talent to enhance the impaact of this bullet."

"You could do that?" I asked.

"Not always. It takes a lot of my strenght." The gun on her hands glowed. "Hold in tight." She warned me.

I stood behind her and watched the end of the pistol burning bright at as Nica pulled the trigger. It hit the car that Aaron and the rest are using; losing it's balance, it flipped on the side.

Hal immediately grabbed Aaron. "You're done."

Aaron tried to fight but Hal knocked him out.

"Sorry, sis," Hal told me.

I just nodded. Maybe Stif will help in healing him later.

Nica rushed to telepathically summon her men. Immediately they all rushed to us.

We got them. We actually got them.

"Nero has been located," a soldier informed.

Nica turned to me. "Th-this is...this is the end?" Nica looked surprised by the sudden turn of events. She doesn't look sad but she doesn't look too happy either for someone who finally got the victory she's been praying for since she was fourteen.

"All of this is now over," Hal carried Aaron on his back.

"Let's go home." I begged. "Please. Before those guys get caught up again."

Hal nodded, "Oh yeah. Definitely."

The sudden victory doesn't seem to sit well on Nica. She stood in front of the they call 'Nero'. He's an old looking man. Around fifties. He looked defeated and tired.

"You will regret this. THe government don't want us. We are just weapons to them," Nero spitted at her boots.

"And it is because of the likes of you." Nica said. "I will fix this. It is not going to be easy but I will fix this. Multiple meetings and the likes. The world will be better."

The Artisans pulled Nero to his cell.

"He will be kept watch," Nica informed me.

I nodded. "I have to check on Aaron."

"Of course."

I went to the medical facility where I found Aaron and Hal having a man to man talk. Aaron was glad to see me.

"Sapphire..." He gasped.

I smiled, "You're back."

"Julia and Timothy did some tweaking in my head but yes. Yes, I am back."

I hugged him tightly. "Oh, I've got to tell you something."

"What is it?"

I reached out for his hand and landed it on my tummy. I gave him a smile. It seems like I didn't have to say word. He immediately caught on.

"Seriously?" He smiled widely.

I nodded. "Yes."

"My sister?!" Hal seemed to have caught on too.

Aaron hugged me and carried me.

"Hey, hey! Be careful!" Hal groaned. "Put my sister down!"

Julia rushed to me and laughed. "Ah, finally you figured it out!"

"You've always known, huh?" I asked her.

She nodded.

And this is it. My family. We will never be apart. Ever.
