Chapter 5 "The Capture" "Ken!" I cried, and ran to him. I took him in my arms and held him close. "Ken, no. No, don't leave me. Don't die. If you die, Casey will never be born." I sobbed, and kissed him lightly. "Don't die Ken." I whispered. Then, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up and saw Casey. "He won't die Mom. I know he won't. He's to stubborn, she said, with a small grin. "You're right. He won't give up on us. Ken's not a quitter, and neither am I." I said, and stood up. I wiped my eyes, and looked at Calypso. "You will go down Calypso. You will go down." I screamed. "JUPITER OAK EVOLUTION!" I yelled, and the leaves went flying at Calypso. She laughed again, and snapped her fingers. The leaves disappeared. I looked in horror. "You'll have to do better than that." Calypso taunted. I let out a very soft growl, like a kitten's growl. "Alexander! Get her and the kid. Get the guy too, not that he'll be of much help anyway, since he's unconscious right now." Calypso yelled, and all of a sudden, a young boy, about Casey's age, appeared. He came up behind me and grabbed my arms and twisted them back behind my back. "Aaaaaaaaaaaah!" I screamed. He put one hand on both of my hands, and snapped his fingers of his other hand. All of a sudden, there was rope around hands with undoable knots. Then the boy went towards Casey. "Casey! Watch out!" I cried. Casey looked behind her, and saw the boy coming. She spun around with a backwards roundhouse kick, but the boy ducked, and she missed. He swept his leg at her other leg, and tripped her. She landed flat on her back. And she wasn't getting up. The boy snapped his fingers again, and ropes appeared around Casey's hands, and Ken's hands. "Good job Alexander! Now take them to the palace!" Calypso yelled. "No! You're not taking them anywhere!" I heard Jason yell. "I am Mars Protector! And I will not let you take them away. Not if I'm still able to fight. I will fight for Casey!" Jason shouted. Calypso started to chuckle, then broke into an all out laugh. "That's a good one! A boy, beating me! Please, spare me boy!" Calypso laughed. I looked at Jason, and he was fuming with anger. 'Jason, don't do anything stupid. Please. For Casey. For Raye.' I thought. He reached to his side, and I saw a scabbard. He reached for the sword, and pulled it out. The hilt had red jewels all over it. I was guessing that they were rubies. All of a sudden, a red glow came over Jason, and the sword. It looked like he was on fire. "MARS SWORD ENGULF!" Jason screamed, and a wall of flame came out of the sword, and flew at Calypso. She couldn't stop this, so she put her arms up in front of her face, and stood her ground. It hit her, and I heard her scream a little, but when the wall of flame had stopped, we could see her standing there, her arms burnt. "You will pay for that boy!" she screamed. "Alista! Get him! I don't care what you do with him! Just make him pay!" she yelled, and a girl appeared, and she had pure black eyes too. She had an evil smirk on her face. "Ok, Miss Calypso." Alista said, and laughed evilly. She tossed her long brown braid over her shoulder, and lunged at Jason. He sidestepped her, and slashed her arm. She cried out, and grabbed her arm. She glared at Jason. I don't know how I did, but I managed to get my hands free. "JUPITER OAK EVOLUTION!" I screamed, and sent the attack at Alista. She looked at the attack and put a hand up and an energy blast came out of her hand, and it incinerated my leaves. I gasped. 'These guys are stronger than I thought.' I thought to myself. All of a sudden, Alexander came up behind me and twisted my arms back again. I screamed in pain and glanced over my shoulder. "Would you leave me alone?" I hissed. "I can't. Or I'll be killed. Just don't get out of your ropes again, or I'll have to hurt you, and I don't want to hurt you, he whispered back. Frustrated, I sighed. "Fine." I whispered. Alexander snapped his fingers again, and more ropes were around my wrists. "Calypso!" I yelled. "Yes?" she replied, with a smug look on her face. "I give up! You can take me, but leave Casey and Ken alone! I'm the one you want!" I said, and a tear slid down my face.
