Collen Rising: Part 5
Saturn hadn't heard about the dangers outside of the Crystal Palace.
She hadn't heard of Io, Asha or Collen. For all she knew, the scouts were
disappearing, turning up dead with violent and horrible deaths: faces caved
in, decapitation, being raped then torn up. She was going to get back at
whoever was doing this. Pluto stepped up behind her, setting a hand on her
shoulder.
"Did you notice anything?"
"Like what?"
"The most useful of us are being targeted then picked off."
"You mean . . .?"
"Yes. I'm next."
"Do you mind explaining how you know? And why the others were killed?"
"Mars for her ESP, Mercury for her computer, Neptune for her mirror. And
myself, I can stop time."

Saturn's curtains blew in the wind, in the middle of the night. A figure
crept through her balcony window, stepping silently through her room and on
to Pluto's. She was sleeping quietly her staff propped up against the window.
A glint of sharp metal reflected the moonlight as he held it to Pluto's
forehead. He gave a sly grin as the moon moved into perfect position,
highlighting his heavenly features: Io. He licked his lips, hitting the hilt
of the knife as hard as he could, plummeting the dagger into Pluto's head. A
streak of lightning suddenly singed his shoulder and he screamed, waking just
about everyone up except the dead Pluto.
"JUPITER OAK EVOLUTION!" Io absorbed it and shot it back at her simply.
He laughed and vanished as she threw another only to hit Pluto's lifeless
body.
