Chapter 9: Fallen Friend

"Jason! Oh my god it's been so long! I thought I lost you!" Autumn said, in tears of joy.

Jason pointed a black and green glowing gun at Star. "If you don't listen to me, one of you will die with a bullet to the head."

"Um, hold on there buddy. I believe only one of us can die that way. And I dont know who you are but, you got to calm down and relax." Jacob ssaid, holding his hand up and walking towards him.

"Stop right there!" Jason said, pointing the gun at Jacob.

"Jason, remember me? It's Autumn, your best friend that saved you from your father and cared for you when you had no one. Please calm down and listen to me." Autumn said softly.

Star couldn't believe her eyes either. "Jason? Prisoner 1532? Is that really you??" She said, reconizing him.

"Y-yes. That's me. Streak?" He said putting the gun down.

"Wait, you two know each other?" Autumn asked.

"Yes, I took care of him while he was Kingom King's prisoner. Then he vanished, and he never came back. Of course because Kingdom King is a psychopath." Star said, looking at Jason with caring eyes.

"Wait, okay slow down, give me, Streak and Jason the room." Autumn said to Spring, Jacob and Fedrick.

All three of them walked out of the room to give them time to talk. "So, start from the beginning. Where did you go after lighting Adams' whole house on fire? And how did you do that anyways?" Autumn asked.

"Well, I went off on my own. I realized that Kingdom King had put a tracker on me, and that's the only reason why he wanted me to lolse. I couldn't risk him finding you. I'm sorry about Adams house. But I had to cover my tracks."He said sitting down.

"Can I call Adam and tell him you're found? He's been working on a case for months now trying to find you." Autumn asked, taking out her phone.

"Yes, tell him I'm okay, just don't tell him where I am. I want him to be safe." He said.

"Okay." Autumn said, taking her phone out to call Adam. Even though it's been a while since they talked.

Jason looked at Star "I'm sure there's a lot you want to know. You can ask me anything. After all, you're the one who free'd me." He said sitting down.

"Well, What did you do after escaping?" Star asked, very curious.

"I went to go find Autumn. But then as I found her I realized I was being tracked. So I had to erase all signs of me being there." He said calmly.

"So you burn the house down?" Star asked.

"Wait, you know about that?" Jason asked.

"Yeah. Autumn and I are or were close friends." She said nervously.

Everybody came back into the room.

"Guys, the longer we stay sitting here the more time my father has at finding all of us." Spring said in a serious tone.

"Your right, Spring. We need to get moving. Jason you can come with us, on the boat to Hawaii." Star said standing up.

"Well that was the plan from the beginning. I wasn't gonna stay here of course." Jason said walking to the group.

There were only a few more things they needed before heading off to sea. Yet only the old man had that information. But the group had already started heading out the door before the old man could say anything else.

The only person who realized that the old man didn't finish everything he was saying was Jacob, all though everyone forgot he was in the group.

"Guy's….aren't we missing something?" Jacob announced.

Everyone looked at each other confused.

Jacob signed "Apparently I was the only one paying any attention when this very helpful man said he has weapons and the water crystal in his possession. But you guys want to just walk out like this...what was your name, oh right, Jason, was the only reason we came here." he said shaking his head.

Everyone, Autumn, Streak, Jason, and Star came back into the shop. "Your right. I��m sorry sir. We didn't mean to be rude like that." Spring said for the rest of them.

"It's okay I understand. You three are long lost sisters and yes, you just found Jason. But you still have a bigger task infront of you that is far from over. So everyone hurry up and sit down before it is too late." The old man said, grabbing a chair himself and sitting down.

Everyone took a seat real quick and listened to what he had to say.

"Thank you, now I need someone that is trustworthy to hold the water crystal without dropping it, so they can give it to Winter, you next sister." He said in a serious tone.

"I will. I've been holding on to my crystal for months now. I can take care of another." Autumn said, raising her hand.

"Yes, I believe you. But I need someone that does not have a crystal. The elemental crystals can merge into one. Making it even impossible to take apart." He said holding the water crystal in his hands.

"Then I'll take it." Jason said. "I'll be very careful with it, and I'll make sure it gets to Winter safely." He said holding out his hand, waiting to receive the crystal.

The man gives Jason the crystal. Then Jason puts the crystal in a safety pocket.

"Now, as Jacob mentioned, there are weapons. Yet, you call will have to come back to me for the water and fire weapon. All of the weapons hold great power of their own. Yet placed in the wrong hands can be used for evil." He said opening up a safe that had a keypad on it. One with not numbers or letters, but had the language of Ciler coding.

"Only one of the five elemental sister's can read the passcode to get into the valt. So if anything were to happen to me. At least one person could get into it so it wouldn't be completely sealed." He said taking out three different types of weapons.

One was purple, pinkish nunchucks. The second was a staff with six yellow blades at each end. And the third weapon were two green pistols that came with a belt that had gun holders attached to it.

"I'm sure by the color of your crystals you know which one's are yours." He said looking at the three of them.

All three girls grabbed their specific choice of weapon and held onto it. Autumn pressed the two yellow buttons to put away the blades, so she wouldn't hurt anyone or herself while she was still getting used to the feel of having that type of weapon. Star was given a purple bag to put her nunchucks in and to keep them safely hidden till in need of them. And Spring put on her belt, and put her guns in the pistols in the gun holders.

"Spring, your pistols have automatic refull bullets. So you'll never run out. And they are specially branded so you cause pain to your enemies." He said, smiling at the well done work he has made.

" Star, your weapon packs the most painful punch with hitting an enemy. You'll have to use your most strength and mean it when you try to hurt someone. Or your hits will become weak." He said to Star.

"And Autumn, Your weapon is strictly wired by your emotions and your deepest feelings. The more your feelings are controlled the more the wind will not be against you. Just remember that the wind is never your enemy, it is your partner in battle." He said to Autumn as everyone stood up ready to go.

Everyone went out to the docks, where there were many boats to choose from. Yet the old man had already had a boat waiting for them to set sail and leave.

"I got you all a cabin cruiser. If you take this map and go the direction of where I drew on the map. You should get to Hawaii from here no problem." he said showing Star the line he drew.

"Well, the question is, does anyone know how to drive a cruiser?" Jacob asked.

"Well, my dad, before he died, or before I found out he was a killer. He used to teach me about different types of boats and how to drive and build them. So i should have no trouble driving it." Jason said walking onto the boat.

Then out of nowhere, someone unexspected joined the conversation. "Well, you won't be making your way to Hawaii anytime soon I'm afraid. Kingdom King has requested, or demanded we take Star with us. And we're not taking no for an answer." A man said from the far point of the docks, so that everyone was trapped on the docks.

He didn't look as intimidating as the two caretakers he brought with him. The caretakers had only their fists as weapons. The man that had obviously known Star seemed a bit clever. He must've been one of Kingdom Kings assistance.

"Jason start the boat, Autumn, Star and Jacob get on. I'll try and make a distraction." Spring said aiming her pistol at the uninvited guests.

"Oh Spring, we were ordered not to hurt you. But we will if we have too." the man said, making a hand movement, ordering the caretakers to do all of the dirty work for him.

Spring fires her pistol, and the bullet goes straight through the caretakers head. The caretaker falls to the floor "Back up, or you'll be on the floor with him." She said, aiming the gun at the other caretaker that suddenly stopped and put his hands in the air.

"Good, now you're gonna let us leave. Or I'll kill you both. Cause my father might care about me dying. But I'm sure you are the least of his worries." Spring said, slowly getting on the boat.

"You won't see the last of me." He said as the boat slowly started to drift away.

"Autumn can you maybe make a small tornado to distract them while we get away?" Star asked her.

Autumn was scared, she didn't know if she could control it, and she didn't want to distroy the whole shop along with them aswell.

"Just believe in yourself, breathe, and you can do it. We all believe in you." The Old man said looking at her from the docks.

And with that said, she controlled her breathing and swirled her finger making a small tornado. Blowing away what was left of the man.

But before he had completely disappeared into the clouds he yelled "He will always know where you are! He will find you!"

The boat had set seat, leaving the docks. The old man waved and shouted "Don't worry about him. I won't tell a soul where you're headed! Just remember everything I told you!" He said as he smiled joyfully.

Even if they did know where they were going. Spring was a little worried about what the man ment. But it only took her a few minutes to shrug it off and get back on task. They didn't know when they'd get there or how they would meet the next elemental sister. But they knew they're next mission was tough. And that they were also bringing danger into peridise. But this was saving the world. Cause if they couldn't save they're home planet. They should at least try and save this one.

All three sister's looked at each other. "Are you guys ready?" Star asked them both.

"Yes" They both said at the same time while nodding their heads.
