{ THE ENEMY OF MY ENEMY IS MY FRIEND}Zack walked in with Diana behind him. The room was tensed as Jonas was laid on the bed with lots of eyes that wanted him dead looking at him. "When was he in the country?" Judith asked, looking at Diana. "I was taken by surprise when he showed up. I wasn't expecting to see him." Diana replied, her eyes showing she had been crying. "You do know we want him dead, right?" Flora said it without any feelings. "Be nice." Zack looked at her. "Be nice? Do I need to remind you that he tried to kill me, and he killed Xavier?" Flora looked at Zack. "Guys, we have a lot going on for us at the moment. Fred is not here, and I don't know what he would have done. But I am trying to keep things together until he is around. Only Fred gets to decide his fate. As for the main time, we need to know how we are going to defeat the men in black." Zack replied Diana wiped her face and looked at Zack. She didn't understand what he meant by men in black."What do you mean?

{ FINDING ALLIES }The first rays of dawn cast a golden hue over the mansion. Zack lay in Flora's arms, his breathing slow and steady. The others gathered around, exhaustion etched into their faces, but a glimmer of hope showed in their eyes. The night had been brutal, but they had survived. For now.Diana stood by the window, keeping watch for any remaining threats. Her heart was still pounding from the adrenaline of the fight, and she found it difficult to relax despite their temporary victory. She glanced over at Zack, grateful for his resilience and leadership. She looked at him and still didn't understand how the ninjas had magically come out of the thin darkness or what they wanted with them."We can't stay here," Zack murmured, his voice barely above a whisper. Flora tightened her grip on him, her eyes filled with concern. She looked at him and knew he wasn't wounded, but his life force wasn't balanced. He needed more rest. "You're in no condition to move," she protested, but

{ JOINED FORCES} Zack looked at Alex and his minions, saying nothing. They walked out of the house and went back to the car. Zack was about to ignite the engine when Judith looked at him. "Don't tell me you have given up already." She asked, staring at his face. ' Don't you hear them? They are not ready to team up with us. They are just as good as being dead if the ninjas strike at them." Zack replied "Then we need to stay and see this to the end. They might just have a change of heart if they saw what we saw too." Judith advised them to wait until the following day and see if they were going to be attacked too. ******************************************************************Emily looked at Alex, who seemed composed. "Do you think they're telling the truth?" she asked, glancing between George and Alex."Don't tell me you believe those lies already," George scoffed, looking up from his seat. "I don't want to, but seeing them come here makes me wonder if there's more to their st

{ TASTE OF VICTORY}They all gathered to light up the environment. The atmosphere was tensed as they all mount their post trying to see what would eventually happen. Flora and Cassandra walked in looking at Zack, " We have all the places light up." They both said at once looking at Alex and Zack Everyone of the. gathered in the main room each scared. Suddenly the light flickered and the bulbs went off. The ninjas immediately materialise out if darkness once more and this time around they were looking more ferocious than ever. Alex looked at Zack " I think we need to engage. We just need to have one of them caught."Alex looked at the ninjas lined outside each ready to attack. " What is the plan?" Judith looked at Zack who wasn't even sure of what to tell themZack stared at the ninjas materializing from the shadows, his mind racing. "We need to lure them inside," he said, a hint of uncertainty in his voice. "If we can isolate one, we might have a chance to capture it."Alex nodded, his

{ IN THE OTHER WORLD}I laid on the cold floor with my energy sapping out of me. "Where is the eclipse?" A cold, menacing voice shouted at me, bringing me back to reality. I looked at the shadowy figure with blood dripping from my cut. I felt cold, and my clothes were a little ragged and torn. "Do you think you can keep this up?" The voice said it again, and I tried to look around to see who it was. I felt stiff, and I couldn't move my body. I felt powerless and scared. I needed to leave, and it had to be fast. I remembered the anchor that I had brought with me. Shadow Blade had told me it would be my anchor to get back to my realm, but I can't seem to find it. My heart beat fast against my chest, and I did not know what to do. I had seen a portion early; it was meant to strengthen me, but for some reason it disappeared."Did you hear me? You are going to have to die here or you will become one of my little system ninjas." The voice came at me again. Suddenly, a bright light shone at
