Chapter Sixteen: The Goodbye

           Maybe it would be better than Sam thought. Maybe it wouldn't be so hard to track down the RLE.  All five of them gathered outside the huge building where they were told to stand up on the stage. Slowly many people gathered around the stage. A few minutes Mr. Anderson came and stood on stage holding a microphone. Sam could still hardly look at him after all the lies he told her, she was done.
"I would like to tell you all that all of our years of hard work will pay of. These five teenagers will save us all. They will find and destroy the RLE. We all believe in you." Mr. Anderson turned and smiled at them. Sam suddenly felt a lot of pressure. All of those people and more were counting on her and the rest. What if she disappointed them? She was determined not to let that happen.
"Reldi will be staying here sending directions to all of you. He will help you all break in. There will be many obstacles on the road but you must never stop fighting. The goal is to get to the RLE headquarters and destroy them from inside. Once you get inside you will try to blend in and find the main room where they control everyone and everything. You must destroy whatever is in that room."
"So you don't even know what's inside?" Sam stands up.
"No one knows." Marvin whispers and pulls Sam's hand making her sit back down. Sam thought about it for a minute. Every one stood silent.
"You are sending us on a death mission."Sam says standing up again. If no one knew what was inside how were they supposed to know what to expect.
"We never said this would be easy." Mr. Anderson responds.
"You also never said you were sending us to die."
"Sam don't make a scene in front of these people." Aries stands. But Sam would not listen to anyone. Reality hit her hard. She might never return from this mission.
"With all your qualities dying is not likely."Mr. Anderson states.
"But you don't know that. You know nothing." Before Sam said anything else she sat back down.
"We believe in you. It's all going to be okay." Dessi smiles. Mr. Anderson continues the speech but Sam shuts everyone out. She just wants to run away from everything. A couple of minutes later everyone starts clapping for them, shouting out "congratulations" as if this was something anyone would be lucky to be a part of. This was not about what Sam or the others wanted. It was about what had to be done. They said their goodbyes and headed out starting their mission.

Chapter Fifteen: The Day

       "Okay everyone I would like to tell you all how proud I am of you. These past few weeks with all the training were not very easy. But we are all proud of what you have accomplished. The day has finally come. The day that you will begin your mission will be tomorrow. We packed each one of your bags with essentials. Now please return to your rooms and have a good sleep, you will need to be well rested for tomorrow." Mr. Anderson announced. Sam felt ready or at least that's what she thought. All week she tried to avoid Mr. Anderson and she tried to stop thinking about him. Instead all she wanted right now was to get her family and friends back. She quietly returns to her room where she finds Desi crying.
"Hey, what's wrong." Sam rushes to her.
"I'm scared Sam. What if we don't make it? What if we die?"
"Don't think like that. We are going to be okay."
"Do you promise?"
"I promise." Sam wanted to be right but she wasn't very sure herself. That night Sam could not sleep very well at all. She tried very hard but all her thoughts were racing all at once.
        In the morning Sam was woken up by a loud knock at the door. The door swings open and she sees Morris place an outfit on the bed. "Quickly, quickly wake up, get dressed and eat something. You have an hour." Morris tries smiling but Sam knows he feels bad for them. She gets out of bed and looks at the outfit Morris left her on the bed. She saw a pair of long, black jeans and a long sleeved black shirt. It was the day everyone had been preparing for. But now that it was here Sam could not believe that it was real. It felt like a dream. She still hoped it was a dream but she knew better than to have unrealistic dreams.

Chapter Fourteen: The Break

       Sam's point of view.
Why is this happening to me? I keep wondering that. First I find out I have important qualities that I need to use in order to save the world and now the leader of the organization is my father the one I never even knew was alive. I keep thinking about my mom and my brother. Are they still alive? Will I ever get the chance to tell them how much I love them ever again? I try to stay positive and think they are alive and okay. But there is just a voice in my head that keeps trying to make me think otherwise. As if I don't have enough problems Marvin and Aries both have to be here. I can not be thinking about my crushes right now I have to think about the real problems here. I just can't help it.
"Hey Sam." Dessi says as she was through my bedroom door. "Can we talk?" I nod and invite her to sit next to me.
"It's really stupid but you know Aries well right?" She asks blushing.
"Um I don't know him that well." I reply smiling.
"Well I think I like him like a lot."
"What since when?" I ask surprised.
"We kind of started talking alone and he's really nice. But I'm not supposed to be having crush right now with everything that's going on."
"Sometimes you just can't help it." Is it bad that a part of me wished Aries would like me instead of Dessi?
"Tell me about that guy Marvin who is totally into you."
"He's not stop it." At least I hope he's not.
"Enough boy talk I've seen you being down the past few days." So I tell Dessi all about how Mr. Anderson is my father and how he's been hiding it from me this whole time. I know what I need right now. I need a break. A long break where I can be alone and think about everything that's been happening. But I know that will not happen. Now that we are all done training we will be starting the mission very soon. I should be scared. But what I feel the most is not fear, it's hatred. I want them to pay for everything they did to our world. Oh and trust me they will definitely pay.

Chapter Thirteen: The Secrets

          Sam practiced many days and hours without stoping. She developed her qualities and she was getting really good at controlling them. Each day she got better and learned many new things. Mr. Anderson was a great teacher and she loved working with him. She felt as if she knew him but she could not figure out how yet.
"Sam I am very proud of you." Mr. Anderson smiled." You learn very fast, I'm not surprised. I think you and the others are ready."
"Wow Mr. Anderson I don't know what to say but I feel ready."
"Please call me Adam. But before I can send you on this mission I must tell you something very important. I am supposed to keep this from you but I just can't help it anymore. You might want to sit down for this." Sam looks at him surprised. She tries ignoring the fact that her heart is beating really fast and sits down. Mr. Anderson sits next to her.
"Please don't hate me for this. Sam I am your father..." For a second Sam just sits there staring not comprehending what Mr. Anderson said to her. She has many feelings and thoughts going through her mind but the thing she feels the most is hate.
"Oh god Sam please say something."
"How could you keep this from me? You did not care about us you left us."
"I had no choice Sam I was working on finding the RLE and when you were born I knew you were one of the chosen ones. When I told your mother she didn't want to hear it. She thought I was crazy, that I was making it all up. I let my obsession on finding them affect your mother and I could see how much I was hurting her so I decided to leave."
"You just decided it would be better if I lived a lie. A life where my own mother said my father was a mistake and that he walked out on us because he was a coward. Do you have any idea how hard life has been for mom? No of course you don't. You didn't care about your own family and you chose your work over us."
"Sam I'm sorry and I know what I did was wrong. But you have to understand I didn't want to hurt you."
"Well guess what you did." Sam stormed out before he could say anything else. She felt like her whole world was falling apart. It slowly but surely was falling apart.

Chapter Twelve: The Practice

       "Sam, Sam wake up." A distant voice whispered. Sam slowly opened her eyes to see Morris and the others stare down at her. She was back in her room but something was different.
"You have been asleep for about 12 hours, are you okay?" Aries asked. Sam slowly started getting out of her bed.
"I feel different." She stated.
"It's the serum. It affected many parts of your brain. Test it out and see if it worked." Morris smiled.
"Start by trying to pick up the bed." Sam did as she was told and to her surprise she managed moving it with no struggle.
"Wow." Sam whispered with shock.
"It's pretty cool isn't it?" Marvin laughed "Now test camouflage."
"How do I do that?" Sam wondered
"It's easy just think about it hard enough." Dessi said. Sam thought long and hard when suddenly she saw pure shock on their faces. They all started laughing.
"It works!" Morris cheered happily. "Next is the brains. Come to the computer I want you to try decoding this code that no normal human can." In just two minutes Sam managed decoding it.
"Good job and lastly immunity. I don't want to alarm you but I will stab you with this knife." Aries stared with a straight face. Sam started laughing but before she noticed the knife was already in her chest.
"But how I feel no pain."
"That's the beauty of having immunity babe." Aries smirked.
        "We are very glad the serum worked on all of you kids." Mr. Anderson announced." You will soon be going on your first mission but before that we have to make sure you handle your qualities well. You will need some practice." They assigned everyone a specific teacher for each quality. Dessi was assigned to a teacher named Mrs. Jolly who has been studying camouflage for a long time. Marvin was assigned to someone named Mr. John, Aries got a teacher named Mr. Blake and Reldi had a teacher named Mrs. Clover. Sam needed the most practice considering she had all four qualities. She imagined having to work with each teacher individually but to her surprise she had a special teacher.
"Hello Sam. I am you teacher, you will be practicing your qualities with me. I know you are wondering why me and you will find out sooner or later. But let's just try to focus on developing you qualities and controlling them." Mr. Anderson explained. Mr. Anderson was her teacher? She had many questions.

Chapter Eleven: The Qualities

      Morris told Sam and the others how they were chosen.
"But we are just a couple of high schoolers." Dessi complained.
"You are not as ordinary as you think."Mr.Anderson said out of nowhere. Morris looked at him worried.
"It's time for you kids to understand. You have how should I say this, qualities other people don't have. You're qualities are much more evolved then even mine. Dessi your quality is camouflage, Marvin yours is strength, Reldi has the brains, Aries has immunity and lastly Sam you have a combination of all of them. Now you kids understand why no one else can stop them except for you. Reldi will be working from our computer labs to help show you the way there."
"How come we never discovered these qualities before?" Aries asked
"Because they need to be activated. You see when you were born a couple of the babies were found to have these rare qualities. We had to wait for you to grow so that now we can make them function."
Sam could hear everyone arguing and asking questions but she felt it unreal. I mean it could not be real. Right? How could she be the one with all of these powers combined. She was nothing special.
"How do you activate these qualities?" Sam wondered.
"It's easy all we have to do is inject you with this special serum." Morris smiled. Almost as if he felt bad for them.
        It was time for them to reactivate their qualities.
"Are you afraid?" Aries asked.
"No." Sam replied even though she knew that was a lie. The person injecting them told everyone to stand in a straight line and to walk in one by one when he called them. Sam was still a little it uncertain if she wanted to get injected with this "serum". But if it meant saving her family, friends and the world then she wanted to risk it. But some terrible thoughts crossed her mind. Like what would happen if she could not control these qualities. What if she ruined everything? She tried blocking those horrible thoughts out of her mind. When it was her turn to get injected her heart starting beating really fast. She hated needles. The room was freezing and the doctor that was injecting them looked like a normal doctor. Sam expected him to look scary but he was not. He instructed her to sit on the chair. When the needle went through her skin she immediately fell asleep. Was something wrong?

Chapter Ten: The Beginning Of The End

      "We know this information is hard for you kids to accept and acknowledge in such a short period of time. But we hope you will be able to deal. Thank you." The announcement said. Sam could not really comprehend what was happening. All of this time she thought the RLE were just a fantasy, something people would joke about. But it was the truth. She lay in bed trying to understand everything when she heard a knock at the door. As she slowly got up she heard the person whisper something as if he was not aloud to be there. When she opened to her surprise she saw someone she would have never expected. It was Marvin.
"Are you lost?" Sam said sarcastically.
"You are so funny. There's no time to hate me right now. Can you believe what is happening?" Marvin talked as he walked and sat down by Sam's desk. "It's so crazy, and exciting at the same time."
"Wow you think this is exciting? you don't even know what they want from us."
"Haven't you heard we are going to be tracking down the RLE. We are going on a quest you can say. We will start training tomorrow morning."
"What! How do they expect us to track them down. They have been trying to track them down for years. Plus we are just teenagers they are like a massive community/corporation you do understand that it is impossible for us to stop them right?" Marvin without saying a word got up and left.
       Sam walked to the cafeteria when it was time for lunch. She saw Dessi and decided to say hi.
"Hey you're Dessi right? I'm Sam remember?"
"Yeah hi. Sorry it's just I'm trying to understand what is happening right now." They both started talking. Sam really needed to talk to someone. When they got to the cafeteria Sam saw Aries sitting with Marvin in the corner of her eye. Since when were they friends? She wondered. Would it be weird if she ran up to Aries and hugged him? They were not really that close anymore but she really needed a familiar hug right now.
"Yo Sam come sit with us." Marvin shouted from the other side of the room. Dessi saw Sam hesitating.
"Oh we are definitely sitting with them." Dessi smiled.
"What why?"
"That Marvin guy totally likes you and plus his friend, was it Aries is really cute."
"Me and Aries were actually really good friends."
"Seriously! Omg. Okay I'm going to stop being so excited and we are going to walk over there."
Sam could not help but go along with Dessi. She kept thinking about what Dessi said. Could someone like Marvin really like someone like her? Did she still have feelings for him?
