When Nogard woke up, Xangord could instantly sense the change in her. Grabbing Xink's upper arm, Xangord gently shoved him behind her.
"Mom, what's wrong with her?" Xink whispered.
"I'm not quite sure but we're going to stay back," Xangord replied as she watched
events unfold.
When Nogard ran out of the room with the girl, Xangord spun around and knelt to look Xink in the face. "Stay here. I'm going to go take care of your Aunt Nogard."
As Xangord stood up, she saw a portal open behind Xink. Realizing that Holly must be hurt to the point where she could not keep control over the opening and closings of portals, Xangord grabbed Xink and pulled him towards her.
"It has been a long time, Xangord," Xaldin
[+1] said, stepping out of the portal. His spears were floating around him--and all were aimed right at Xangord.
"You don't want to do this, Xaldin," she said, moving backward and forcing Xink behind her. Xangord was thanking Draco that the others were on the other side of the med deck and not behind her. "Killing me won't bring back the Organization."
"It will be a start," Xaldin said as Xangord summoned her whip and Xink summoned his
hook swords.
From the corner of her eye, Xangord saw Nissa take a step towards Xaldin. "Stay back! He's--"
"LOOK OUT!" Xink yelled.
Xaldin had used Xangord's moment of being distracted by Nissa to send his spears flying at her. Lashing out with her whip, Xangord managed to deflect most of the spears but one embedded itself deeply into her shoulder. Smiling, Xaldin stepped back into his portal.
"MOM!" Xink yelled as Xangord sank to the ground with the spear sticking out of her shoulder.
"Get Nogard under control and tell Dragon I went to find Se'rox," Xangord said, opening a portal. "You've got control of the ship."
Opening a portal of her own, Xangord struggled to her feet and pulled Xink through it. Closing it behind her, Xangord thought,
There's something wrong. I've been clipped by one of Xaldin's spears before and I..."Mom?" Xink asked as I sank to my knees.
"This portal is leading...back to gaia," I replied weakly. "Turn...into your dragon form...and take me to Se'rox..."
"Okay," Xink said, his face full of worry. Transforming into his dragon form, he gently placed me on his back and flew to the other end of the portal.
