Nephra floated in the water, she looked down and saw ten glowing things. "No not here to!" She yelled knowing what they were. Three tentacles bursted out of the water, they came from the squid-heads. Nephra screamed, so did Remi. Right now Nephra really did feel like she was in hell, she had no way of attacking all she could do was protect Remi. That's what she's going to do no matter what. The tentacles flew to wards her, Nephra dove down with Remi, she put her mouth to Remi and breathed in every so often to give her air. Nephra didn't know how they got there, all she knew was she had to stop them, but not when she had a child with her. Nephra was running out of air. One of the squid-heads was coming to wards her, she tried to stay hidden.
Tatsu leaped up and the queen arach-head brought her leg up to defend herself from him. His scythe didn't go through her leg, instead the blade backfired and hit him in the face. Tatsu landed on the ground and the queen stomped on his stomach. Tatsu yelled in pain. He then brought his scythe to her foot, chopping it off. The queen screeched in pain, she walked back holding onto her leg. Tatsu got up and made a shield around the home so no metal heads came in while they fought. The metal heads heard their queen and got more enraged, now attacking Lev and Rev.
Tatsu ran over to the queen while in her hurt stage. He jumped up once more but the queen saw through it, this time she brought her leg up to his side, pushing him to the wall. There Tatsu was smothered and a crack was heard form his leg. He cried out in pain again, but he would not give up. How do I kill her! He started to think of more ways while he was at the wall. The queen brought her head up to him and hissed in his ear. She was enraged to no end.
Nephra swam fast away, hoping to get away from the large beast. She hid near, well behind some plants in the water. There she found squid-head eggs. Dang it! this day just keeps getting worse and worse. She scooted away form the eggs. The squid-heads now went to show their faces on the surface, not getting out of the water they looked and watched Lev and Rev. Once needed they started to attack with their tentacles.

Rev found himself growing more and more frustrated. He swung his arm trying to swat away a tentacle and a small bolt of yellow eco shot out. It was on complete accident, but it had managed to destroy the metal head, and it was small enough to were it wasted little of his physical energy. He broke free of the circle and dove into the water. Nephra had been down there too long for his tastes. He swam straight for her and grabbed her wrist and started swimming up. He hoped she would get the picture. He had an idea to get her and Remi out of the area.
Lev had maneuvered himself to guarding the edge of the water. The first thing he did was knock out the squid heads so they couldn't get into the water. Now he was defending the edge so as to give Rev and Nephra a chance to get out. He had a vauge understanding of what Rev was aiming to do. He hadn't had time to completely read his body language, but he got the gist of what he was doing.

Nephra was slowly starting to black out, she had no more air, she gave it all to Remi. Remi however was awake and looking at Rev. Nephra allowed him to take her wrist and get them up their, she needed the air to go on. Her skin was starting to turn pale, like her soul was leaving. Remi kept trying to hit her but the water was so hard that she couldn't. Nephra smiled a little and kissed Remi's forehead. Nephra kept thinking that, that was the end of her, that she would not go on, she was too tired and couldn't move. Out of air she was near to death.
Tatsu finally got and idea. Once the queen let go of him he started to run to her. He limped now because she broke his leg. Instead of jumping he would act it and right as she attacks him he would get under her belly. Tatsu put that to the test. Once in 10 feet form her he pretended to jump. The queen took the bait and brought her legs and arms up to defend herself. Tatsu landed and ran straight under her belly, once there he brought his scythe up and slashed it open. He only made a foot gash, enough for blood to come out.
The queen screeched in pain. Her legs swung to her stomach, one hitting Tatsu and throwing him clear across the room. His head hit the wall and he was out. The shield left and the metal heads were free to come in, but none did. Instead the queen jumped up to the first floor and then the second. She jumped through the roof and into the giant tree. There she ,made her escape. The eggs where Tatsu was were nothing now, with out the queen to be there they would eventually die.
The squid-heads started to come from under, they were heading to Rev from behind. There was a big enough cave at the bottom of the lake that they could fit. Two came from it, both after Rev. The eggs from the bottom of the lake were starting to wrought, with out anything there to help them they would be nothing. Tatsu slowly woke up, he got up holding his pure white hair head. He looked around and saw the queen gone, there he started to go after the Eco canons. He got in the machine and turned light, there he started to charge the energy for the Eco canons to fire, it would take about one minute for them to get up and running.

Rev broke the surface and pulled Nephra and Remi up setting them on the bank. They were behind Lev and right when Rev was about to get out he felt something grab his ankles and he was pulled under. He was kicking at the squid heads as hard as he could, but they had the advantage under water and he didn't.
Lev was tempted to dive in after Rev was pulled under. However he couldn't swim, and he had to protect Nephra and Remi. He stared over his shoulder at the water and he started attacking the metal heads with more ferocity. He wasn't going to be stopped from saving his brother, no matter what.

The Eco canons rose and took aim. Tatsu fell out and landed on the ground, passed out. He started to dive into a deep deep sleep, his eyes closed slowly and his mouth shut. His hair was now red, due to the blood on him. He now had multiple cuts and a broken leg. He opened his eyes for a second to see the canons fire, he smiled and then fell back to sleep. His mind was clearing now he started to go into a dream. The canons were now firing at the metal heads. The Arach-Heads nest was being blasted to hell. Anything above the surface was getting killed with large blasts of missiles or anything else that tatsu had stored in the canons.
There were canons under the lake to. The squid-head nest was being blown up and the even the squid heads. Nephra opened her eyes to see that Remi was on top of her hitting her chest. Nephra jumped up to look around for Rev. Of coarse she caught her darling baby before she fell. She saw all the canons working, she saw the metal heads dieing. Soon after all were gone and the cave under the lake was closed by tree branches and metal head bodies. Nephra ran to the shore to look for Rev. "Rev!" She yelled looking far down. Nephras couldn't go back into the water, she needed her air otherwise she would be drowning again.
The metal heads were fleeing while the canons shot. They were heading back to their new nest in haven. Tatsu was on the ground, passed out. Nephra was holding Remi, looking for Rev in the lake. The day was hell and all could agree on that.

Lev dropped his staff and dove into the lake. He couldn't swim, but he sure knew how to sink. As he sank and sank he saw his brother. His foot was stuck in between two rocks. Lev landed on the bottom near Rev and he walked towards him. It was slow progress and he was running out of air. Once he got to him he noticed he was unconscious. He had been surprised by the squid heads and it didn't help to have little air left. Lev had no way of determining just how much air, but he knew he had little time. He tried pulling Rev out, but under the water his strength wasn't the same because it was difficult to move. He was growing frustrated and angry with himself. The lack of air in his own longs wasn't helping. He punched the rock and it shattered. He looked at his hand and gasped. It was glowing red again. He still couldn't control his eco powers, but he guessed he had gotten lucky again. He took the floating Rev and pushed him upwards. Then he noticed something. He never planned a way to get himself back up. He had hardly any air at all left and he had wasted pretty much all of it when he gasped. He was screwed and he knew it but he attempted to swim up. It got him no where any time soon, however no matter how much he knew he was gonna die he couldn't give up.

Nephra couldn't stop herself. She took a deep breathe and dove in. She swam to the bottom where Lev and Rev was. She saw Lev trying to swim. She saw that he was running out of air. She dove deep to him and once she got to him the only thing in her head was to give him air. Giving someone air isn't cheating, is it? She asked herself for a moment. She then just plunged her lips to Lev's and breathed in. Once the air was in she grabbed his arm and swam up. As she went up she grabbed Rev's arm too. Precursors! I am never doing that again! She got up out of the water and took a deep breathe. She then pulled the two brothers up and fell down. Remi slowly crawled to her and hugged her head. "Thanks Rem's." She said faintly.
Tatsu was still out cold, their home of 13 years was destroyed, well his home. The first floor was now in the basement and the second floor was all over the tree's. The only thing that was operational was the Eco canons. The canons had stooped firing and all went calm once more. Now their main big worry was the Freedom League. Knowing them they would be there in no time. For Tatsu being a sage, hurt and a general, one of the finest to be exact. They would quarantine this area in no time. Tatsu slowly opened his eyes and saw he was still in the basement, his leg was broken, ribs bruised. He only thought of getting up to his wife, to see if she made it.
Nephra got up and looked at the two brothers. "Are you two alright?" She asked them inhaling deeply. Her braid was no more and her hair was out straight, the bottom curly and the tops straight. She had lost her contacts in the lake so her eyes showed to be pure crystal blue. Nephra picked up her wet daughter and sighed. "This was unexpected. No one or anything knows where we live, how could they have found us?" She asked Remi knowing that she was a child and knew nothing. Nephra then sighed and fell back with Remi on her tummy. Remi just grabbed her dress and started to smile.

Lev was gasping. Even though he had been given air by Nephra the method by which she had done it had shocked him into losing the air almost immediately. Not literally losing it, but to the point where he thought he had no air. After a few moments he nodded his head to signify he was alright. He couldn't speak for Rev who was unconcious, but he could hear his breathing. Lev fell on his stomach tired. He had used more eco than he ever had in his life. Mostly because well he had just gotten his eco powers.

Nephra smiled and turned. She looked and saw her house. "Precursors why?" She asked lifting her and Remi up. She slowly walked to the beat up house. Great... were going to have to find a new home. I don't want to go back to the city, nor the damn waistlands... we'll just have to upgrade this home. She landed on her knees. "I'm dead." She whispered to herself. He long flowing hair was now in a puddle of mud, it turned to a weird brown. Nephra then got up and set Remi down on a piece of wood from the house. "Stay right there while I go and get your father." She said walking in the house. She saw the hole to the basement, and laying there was Tatsu. "Stay right there hunny! I am coming to get you." She said looking for away to get to the other side to take the stairs down.
Tatsu looked up and saw Nephra. He waved to her. "Nah it's okay, I am actually quit comfortable." He said being a smart ass. He looked around and saw the eggs were gone, well dead. He then slammed his head to the floor and started to think on what all will have to be done if the FL really gets there. He propped his head back up and saw Nephra jumping to the other side. There she found the stairs and went down to him. "Precursor, this house has served as my family home for over 60 years." He said looking at it destroyed.
"I'm sorry dear." Nephra bent down and lifted his arm over her neck. There she brought him up and started to walk up the stairs. "Huh, we will just have to rebuild it thats all. You have all year and I have the money for it." She said turning her head to him. She smiled and continued to walk up.
Tatsu looked at her. "I have money too, but true I can work on it and you can supervise." He smiled back and chuckled. His leg wound was horrible, the bone was practically out of his skin. His chest was bloodied because of the many new scratches.

Lev stood up slowly and walked with a sort of limp in his step. He walked to the car he and Rev had obtained and dug through the stuff they had brought. It was full of clothes, canned food, water, and all sorts of essentials. He found his pack and from it he pulled out his drawing pad and pencils. He limped back to the spot where Rev lay and started drawing a picture. It depicted a mountain scene that overlooked a valley of flowers, trees, a big lake teaming with creatures. Within the valley at the center of all the beauty was a house. Not just any house but a seven story mansion artistically designed to look as if it belonged to rich noblemen when it in truth didn't. Lev drew this picture often and it teamed the crevices of every place he placed pictures in their Haven house. The picture had sentimental value for him and Rev, though Rev never let it show as much as Lev. Right now Lev was just pencil sketching it, but over the next few days it would team with more detail and color.
