CHAPTER XV

Andrei, Vega, Trix, and Petra were already standing by the portal door as I came running down. They all glared at me with unimpressed looks on their faces. Even Andrei looked like he was going to give me a slap across the face. I did my best to smile and shrug my shoulders. “Sorry about that. I lost track of time,” I said.

“We’re going through the portal in forty seconds,” Vega said, staring into my eyes without blinking. She was good at being intimidating when she wanted to be. But now I knew that I had more power over her than she had over me. Hell, maybe it was time for me to be the squadron leader.

Trix was there with her pair of bazookas, grinning until the others looked her way, then she quickly put on a serious face. “Not cool, Kyrie,” she said. “Seriously not cool.” Then, when everyone was looking away from her, she covered her lips and let out a silent giggle at my expense.

“We’re fine. I’m here now. That’s all that matters, right?” I said. But nobody answered me.

“Here we go,” said Vega as a little chime went off. She led the way, stepping into that black box, beginning the fifteen-minute countdown until the door opened for the skirmish. Now, there were surely alarms going off in the Nekrol headquarters, letting them know that battle would commence shortly. I knew they were going to send their best—and that made me wonder if we were putting forward our best.

As we stood in that quiet box, I looked at Vega. She was a top-notch warrior. But Andrei? This was his second battle ever. And Petra next to him, with that nervous pale face—this was her second ever battle as well, and her first battle ended with the death of a beloved Lagolian sniper. Then there was Trix, the crazy demolitionist who specialized in Kentaurus and not Eubuleus at all. And me—with my relatively short record of narrowly winning matches.

To make matters worse, we hadn’t done any practicing together. We were supposed to the night before, but I decided to hide out on Earth. “We’re going to be fine,” I said, trying to kill some of the tension in the room. Everyone looked at me. Their dagger stares made me look away awkwardly. “Seriously. This will all be fine.”

“You’ve never even done a Eubuleus simulation, Kyrie,” growled Vega.

“Sure I have,” I said.

Then Trix snapped her head to look at me. Her eyes were wide. Vega turned slowly to look at me with her narrowed gaze. “What are you talking about?” she said.

“Oh,” I said. “No—maybe you’re right. Maybe I haven’t. But I studied the map like you told me to. I know what to do.”

“I sure hope so,” said Vega. “We’re going to play it safe. We set up around Beacon Bravo while Petra takes Alpha. Then we move in, slowly and methodically.”

Trix was just about to open her mouth, but Vega was faster.

“—I don’t care if it’s boring!” she said.
