Just like that the plan was in motion. Phoenix held Andi's arms behind her back so she looked like a prisoner, albeit gently. The execution area was in a special room down on level 2. There would be cameras inside so the instant they walked in they would have to start acting. It probably wouldn't be safe for them until they were well on their way to Earth on the ship.
They took the elevators down to Level 2 and walked slowly and silently down the empty halls towards the room. Be careful, Phoenix said telepathically to the others, Don't drop your act for any reason until we're off the base.

As Art was under the floor with he was amazed at the feeling of this liquid mobility. Art could say nothing but he could hear steps above him. This was a wonderful feeling but a scary one at that.

Mirror and Jayson worked in unison once Vision confirmed that no one was looking. Mirror moved Andi aside so the Blocker girl was under the cover of invisibility (sort of) and Mirror was Andi. Mire then went up closer to the surface and pulled Andi under after warning her of what he was about to do. No one noticed and they entered the execution room. Mire put on a burst of speed and headed for the escape ship that they were going to use.

'Ready everyone?' Phoenix asked telepathically. When he got affirmative answers he pulled the safety off his gun and waited for Mirror-as-Andi to be tied up on a chair. 'This has to be perfect.' He reminded them. 'The second the shot goes off, Mirror needs to look like she has a hole in her. I'll shoot on three.'
Phoenix raised his gun and stood just under the camera, aiming just to the side of Mirror's face. "I'm sorry," He said aloud. And then he fired.
*
Below them, Andi dashed after Mire and Art towards the escape ship. She stumbled aboard and fell down next to Art. She tugged off the false restraints on her hands and dropped them at her feet, panting for breath. "This is so crazy," She gasped. Then she looked over ather friend. "Are you okay, Art?"

Jayson had slipped into the calm mode he had aquired with the Blockers and worked perfectly in sinc with Pheonix. He also made a small black streak fly from the bullet. He had practiced THAT many a time. Mirror/Andi's eyes flew open in shock and and she let out a strangled scream before doing a very good act of dying. She had, after all, watched Fairy die along with Jayson.
Mire slumped against the wall of the pod and leaned his head back. "I feel like I just died with her." He wasn't thinking of either Andi or Mirror, he was also thinking about Fairy.

Phoenix chewed his lip as he looked at Mirror's body. The illusion was so perfect he almost felt as if he had really shot Anti. Mirror was so unmoving that he started to wonder if she was even acting. Had he screwed up? Had he really shot her.
He couldn't afford to question things now, though. They had to continue with the plan. "Clean her up," He said, allowing some emotion into his voice. Those watching would be suspicious if he was completely uneffected. All he had to do now was maintain the act until they could get off the base. He could take Art and Andi to Earth and hide out there untili things cooled down.
Phoenix led the way out of the room and started to take the long way around to the docking bay. This would work. It had to.

Jayson started and pretended to come into the room, if anyone else did it, they would realize that she was a fake and still alive. Vision also came, but her lean body didn't help much. Mire was heavy, considering she was playing dead weight. They carried her to the place where they were going to despose of Andi's body and Mirror turned back into herself. They then nodded in silent agreement and walked calmly, taking different paths to the escape pod. They met up with Phoenix at the pod, Vision the last to come aboard.
The lavender girl went and sat at the controls before chewing her tounge and moving out of the seat. "I can't do it, I'm too nervous." She announced quietly. Mire and Mirror were attempting to reasure each other that they were still both alive, even if they still had their mind link. Jayson went and sat next to Andi in the last empty seat. He looked down at the floor and crossed his arms.

"Well, so far so good." Phoenix mumbled, chewing his lip. He looked around at the motley group he had somehow gotten together. Everyone looked scared, and he suddenly felt very guilty for getting them involved. "Listen," He said to them, waiting until he had everyone's attention before he continued. "I'm going down to Earth. When it's discovered that Andi and Art have escaped, and it will be discovered, there's going to be a lot of people looking for us. We'll never be able to return to DetaB. Anyone who wants to stay, this is your last chance. No one here will think any less of you if you don't want to be a fugitive." He looked around at the group and waited for their answers.

Mire and Mirror turned to Phoenix like the identical twins they were, faces turned into blank masks. "They'll find us out eventually." The replied in a dead tone simultaniously(sp?), their normal cheerfull demeanor gone for a while. Mire then looked away and Mirror sighed, "It'll be good to get back home to the desert.
Vision rolled her eyes. "I don't care, I'm going, Fist has gotten too ruthless for me." She then lowered her eyes and gazed at him through her eyelashes. "Don't ask me to leave you."
Jayson gave a bitter laugh. "I'll be the first one they suspect if they find out." He turned to the twins. "Can I stay with you?" They nodded, knowing exactly what he meant.

Andi was shocked at how they all stuck together. Any Blocker would have thought immediately about saving their own hides. But all of them were giving up their comfortable lives at DetaB to go back to Earth. "Thank you," She said quietly, and then strengthed her voice so they could hear her better, "All of you, thank you so much."
Phoenix turned and grinned at her, but he didn't say anything. Instead he looked back at the group. "Let's get this heap moving then! Visi and I will pilot. The rest of you hang on. I certainly hope they don't..." He stopped suddenly when a load wail erupted in the docking bay. It was the alarm. "Dammit!" Phoenix screamed.

A huge lump formed in Art's throat and suddenly he felt like his hart was going to explode.
NO...not now...i got to be strong!
"lets get out of hear!" Art said shaking Phoenix’s chair.

Vision then spun around and layed her hands flat, hovering over the controls. They began to move with precision and she expertly launched themselves away from the DetaB headquarters. She reached out with her mind and blocked all transmitters and tracers from their little ship. "Next stop... Earth!"
Vision then froze, her blocking of transmitters still going, but the controls all turned back to neutral as she slipped into a vision. "Fist... he's furious... someone saw us!" She came back with a jolt and stepped up their speed, sending them flying into their seats.
Jayson was glad he had his back towards the back of the ship, but Mire and Mirror flew into the wall in a heap. They were silent before breaking into identical laughter.

Phoenix started swearing uncontrollably as he helped Vision navigate the ship around out of the docking bay. As soon as they were out of the bay the guns started up. Fist was trying to kill them! "Damn he must be pretty mad." He mumbled as he manned the guns. "I'm going to try to take out some of the guns." He told everyone, shouting over the roar of engines and gunfire.
Andi grabbed onto Art and ducked against the wall next to the twins, who didn't seem to be taking this very seriously. "We've come too far to die now," She growled. But she'd already cheated death one time today, how long could her luck hold?

Mirror laughed, it was a maniac's laugh. "I'd scream, but the only people who would be affected are you." She then curled up in the corner, shaking, realizing what she had just done. Mire held her shoulder sympathetically.
Jayson kneeled on his seat and looked out the window before there was a copy of their ship and an invisible sheild around them.
Vision was going slightly hysterical and she relinquished the controls over to Phoenix, concentrating on the tracers.

(now its from Fist's POV)
"That bastard! how could he do this to us?!"
yelled Fist at the top of his lungs.
Fist rushed over to the a room and switched a mike that spoke to the entire base.
"Attention all Members of DetaB! Our own Phoenix has become a traitor! Any and all who capture him alive will be automatically moved up in rank! Don’t let him get away!" switching off the mike Fist felt his heart beating faster than almost ever.
"how could he?...why?" Fist thought as he settled back into his chair in his room.

'Damn it all! Mire, Mirror, why do you two have to be on that ship?' Shadina thought to herself as she took off and after them. She could see other ships firing at the illusion ship and could see the shots going through. 'Illusion's doing a good job at making it look like there's a sheild on that fake.' She then scanned the area after realizing that someone had blocked the tracers.
Spotting the hazy ghost like ship speeding out of there, she hit the intercom then paused, turning it off. 'Dace, will you listen to me if I go up in rank?' She pleaded silently before taking off and shooting the real ship.
~
Vision was able to dodge though, she had 'seen' Shadina see them and taken the controls from Phoenix for a moment to dodge. "Shadina's on our tail!" She cried. Mire and Mirror started and rushed to a window.
"Shadina? Why?" Mire whispered. Jayson tried to fight back his frustration and it snapped, just as a bullet was about to hit the window he was looking at, it stopped and the ship sped out of the way, the bullet resuming its original course and missing.

Phoenix shot off a few warning rounds at Shadina's ship but wasn't really aiming to hit her. The last thing he wanted was to kill someone after going through all that trouble to not kill someone.
"You're a terrible shot, Phoenix!" Andi snapped at him suddenly. She pushed Phoenix out of his seat and grabbed hold of the gun controls.
"Don't kill her, please," Phoenix squeaked at Andi.
"I won't," She promised, and she took aim with the guns. But just as her finger began to tighten on the trigger, she caught something in the corner of her eye and cursed. "And I thought this day couldn't get any worse." She quickly swiveled around and fired without thought on what she recognized to be a Blocker craft.
After only three shots, however, she realized what she was doing and stopped. "Shit," Had she really changed so much since being kidnapped? She was firing on her own ships! Her own organization! What if they were there for her? She was suddenly very confused. BUt...the Blockers weren't her anymore. Not since meeting and putting her trust in so many psychics. She couldn't consider herself one of them anymore. Still...there could be friends of hers on the ship.
Completely at a loss, she slipped from the chair and sat back down next to Art without a word. Phoenix didn't even question her. He saw the Blocker ship and probably sensed her inner dilemma. "Vision," He shouted as he took back his place, "Get us the hell outta here!"

Vision then snapped to attention. "Andi, Art, I'm sorry, but Mirror, when we go through the Blockers, you're going to have to scream." Mirror nodded and sat down in her seat. "Jayson, stop the illusion, we need you to stop bullets." Jayson nodded and came up to hold onto the back of Vision's seat. Vision, sensing that everyone was ready, stepped onto the gas.
They rocketed through the ships, Jayson halting bullets that would ordinarily hit them and Mire moved over to Mirror, holding her shoulder for his support. She gave him a grateful look and tilted her head back and... screamed. There was no other word for it, no sound came out of her mouth, but anyone who wasn't a psychic could hear her. It gritted at the ears of everyone in her range, the closer the harsher, and it couldn't be blocked unless you could block voices in your head and you couldn't do that unless you were psychic.
Her mental breath lasted as long as actually screaming and they were three quarters the way through by then. Mirror collapsed, exhausted onto her twin who held her up.

The shear loudness of Visions scream sent Art into a horrible combination of pain and madness. it felt like his mind would burst if Visions scream lasted any longer. Still in a state of shock and pain, Art held his head and tried to recover. Opening his eyes he saw small dots of light. Art imaged that he wouldn’t be able to hear anything but he could still hear all the sounds of the ship and the others.
"Andi are you ok?" Art asked trying to sit comfortably again.
