She had to do this. She just had to. If she is ever going to kill that seventeen year old, Monster of Monsters then she has to do this.
The Guardians of Humanity kept an extra shard hidden in the office of the Supreme Chairman of the Guardians. The only reason she knew about this was because she found the first shard while on patrol. Her plan is to go in and either persuade them to give her the shard, or sneak in and steal it.
As soon as she gets it, she'll be zapped out of there and (hopefully) to the tournament. She has to get that shard. For her friend. For Alex.
Unfortunately, things didn't exactly go to plan.
"Excuse me?" she said, stuffing down her frustration/surprise/anger.
The Chairman repeated. "We already gave the shard to Sir Braddock. Besides, you claim that the shard was so simple to find, why not find it yourself?" She didn't have an answer. Then she said, "I just thought that, it would be easier, Mr. Chairman. There is a shortage of crystals that are still 'up-for-grabs'. If that is the case, then I'll just find another shard sir. Good day." She got up and left without another word. She went to the cafe area and sat down, but in no way was she hungry.
Where am I even suppossed to find another crystal anyway? She thought to herself. She took out one of the crystals she collected and looked at it, slightly under the table so that no one can see it. Then, an image flashed in her head. It was quick, but she knew it. It was an open pasture, in Ohio. The skeleton remains of a house, long forgotten. It used to be Alex's house. She just had to go back there, didn't she? She put the crystal away, got her things and left.
