The Story of Yeling Mah Pt. II

Chapter 16 - Stormwatch vs. Squad Four

"Red alert."

I jolted out of bed, and ran to the conference room, grabbing the suit and placing it on my chest. I double tapped it as the leather expanded, covering my body until I was suited up in Vision's uniform.

I ran to the door, and nearly bonked Haka on the head.

"Haka?! What are you doing here? Go back to bed!"

Haka grabbed my waist and wouldn't let go, giving me her signature pleading puppy eyes.

"Come on, Haka, please. Not now."

But Haka was stuck to me like glue as she nudged my waist with her head.

"Fine, come with me."

We reached the conference room, as more and more members of Stormwatch piled in.

"Yo, why do all the alerts have to happen in like, 4 in the morning." Lucas grumbled.

Rui noticed Haka by my side and knelt down.

"Haka! Fancy seeing you here!"

Haka let go and skipped to Rui as she began to play with her, making weird faces and stuff. My eyebrow twitched in confusion.

Joseph smiled. "Your sister is so adorable."

"Thanks."

Joseph cleared his throat and turned to us. "Okay. So we have everybody here, except... well. Tony and Lucas. As usual."

"What? Lucas is right here-"

I was suddenly interrupted by a loud snore. Lucas had fallen asleep at his seat as Joseph sighed.

"We got a breach in the outer defences. I don't know how it happened, but one thing is clear. Someone is on their way here. And according to the scouts, it's Squad Four."

My heart began to beat faster.

Squad Four.
