Chapter 132 The Fireworks
"It's so good to see you, my dear cousin." She smirked and then face me "And oh, happy to see you in one piece, babe." She winked smiling sweetly.
I could feel the dark aura radiating from Claire. "Where are they?" I asked changing the tension.
"Hhmm..." Zoey crossed her arms across her chest, "Yeah they, you mean the girls and your members? Well, they were hiding in the laboratory waiting for you. Earlier, we received news that the Insigma Fighters are wanted and so everyone is searching all around, whether dead or alive." The smirk never leaves her face.
"Shit." I didn't realize I was already clenching my hands. "Are they all safe?" Worry covered me.
"Unfortunately, yes. The brutal girl is protecting them." She said and I can see the disappointment on her face.
But what happened next, shocked me.
"Hey! Why did you do that!?" Zoey yelled in frustration after a flying dagger passed over an inch away from her cheek.
Good thing it did not leave a scratch or else I might be watching a war out of time.
"I don't like the look of your face. Ugly." Claire said turning her back, walking away.
"Ugh! I hate you!" Zoey frustratingly yelled stomping her foot.
I can't help but smile following Claire from behind.
My girl is so cool!

On the way, some of Kurt's men saw us but Claire got them killed before they take some unnecessary move and I was always left speechless.
"Go ahead. Leave it to me." She said while looking at 5 men running towards her ready to fight.
Suddenly, the memory from 7 years ago popped into my head. This was also the same scenario... I smiled. This time, I trusted her, the girl I used to protect is the person who's always there saving me from danger.
I nodded and run. Not to save myself but to find my friends, hoping they are safe and sound. Claire... the Heiress of Dark World, the Legendary Killer is my girl.
I took a deep breath and opened the door of the Laboratory Room.
"Xenon! Thank God you're safe!" Drena saw me and she walked closer catching the attention of the others.
"Dude! Happy to see you." Coby said patting my shoulder.
"How is it?" Lucas asked.
"Where's Claire?" Cassy asked that created silence all around the room.
I'm glad to see them all... safe.
I slowly looked down which made them sad.
"D-didn't she goes with you?" I heard Stella murmured.
"What's the matter?" Suddenly a person appeared from behind which made me smile and the girls immediately looked at her in surprise.
After then, all I hear are low screams as the girls run to hug her.
"Happy to see you alive dude." Adrian smiled sheepishly.
I punched him lowly in the chest. "Shut up."
And they all laugh.

Drena's POV
"Ahm... what now?" Coby asked scratching his neck.
We were all gathered in the middle of the room, Claire was sitting in front while leaning on the desk and we? We are waiting for someone to talk but silence took over.
I'm glad Claire came back. She became one of my bestfriend and I'm afraid to lose her.
"So, what's the plan... anyone?" Xenon asked, I know he's waiting for Claire's decision.
And we all know that she has a plan.
"Stella." We all sighed in relief the moment we heard her talk.
"Y-yes Claire?" Stella asked looking down.
"Here." She handed a piece of paper and Stella walked towards her, taking it.
The moment she looked at the piece of paper a sudden dark aura filled the room, I knew it was coming from Stella as she crumpled the paper and...
"What do you want me to do?" She asked... but the way she said it... it was Uno.
"Information of explosives," Claire stated.
"I sensed some of them hidden in different places but the others were too difficult to find. They hide it too well. Here's the blueprint of the campus including the bombs I found. I put an X to the explosives that we already deactivated." She explained.
"Who's with you?" Claire plainly asked.
"Lucas." She answered and I sensed Lucas swallowed in tense. Hhmm...
"Very well then, I'll go find the rest. Tonight, assist Lucas in deactivating all of the bombs. While... Drena." She called which caught my attention, so I immediately looked at her.
"Yes ma'am?"
"Make an invitation letter for all students and personnel to gather at the gymnasium starting tonight, make sure that at 5 am tomorrow no one will be caught outside except the enemies. And Cassy," Cassy immediately sits straight. "Help her," Claire said and she nodded smiling.
"Adrian, Coby." She called.
"Yes Ma'am, at your service!" They both saluted and we can't help but chuckle.
"Spread those letters to all hostages make sure you give them... only to the victims." She said.
"Leave it to us." And they smiled.
"Xenon." Claire looked at Xenon.
"Yes, love?" He said while smiling at her sweetly.
"Ayiieee..." We teased.
"Guard the gymnasium whole night and day, don't let the enemy comes in." She ordered.
"How about you?" Xenon asked disappointed.
"I'll help you," Claire answered while looking at him softly which made Xenon smile.
"Ahem." Suddenly, a small cough caught our attention as we turned to look behind.
Zoey.
"What about me?" She pouted, oh how cute!
I shook my head, no. She's selfish, she doesn't even care if we die! I sighed.
"Tch. Get me fireworks and also gather tear gas as much as you can." Claire said and Zoey pouted once again as she walked out.
Wait... fireworks?
"Everyone, tonight you move but never let the enemy sense it, anyone whoever gets to know... put it on silence. Tomorrow at 5 am, we will end it." Claire stated.
This will gonna be a long night for us.
"Yes ma'am!" All of us answered as I stare at my girl, adoring her every second.
