Deal or No Deal?

continued from:A New Battle 


Ali flinched as Josh slammed the front door behind him.

"Shhhhh! This is between us siblings, can you please keep it down?"

Ali almost rolled her eyes. No, don't, she thought. That was the old Ali, not the new one. She'd never win them to Christ that way. 

Joe shrugged, "Sorry." 

Ali went a little ahead of her brothers and sister and stood ready. Her siblings did the same.

"The deal is: if you three can beat me, I'll gladly go home with you." The other three children burst out laughing.

"All... three of us... at once," Alaina gasped in between breaths.  "No one can beat us three to one, Ali. We have to believe in ourselves, so you can come back." 

Ali shook her head. "It's not just about teamwork, or yourself. I've gotten stronger through Jesus, and He is my power. He is one I believe in. I've seen with my own eyes what He can do."

"Amafist, Super Punch!" Josh called. The big purple sporemon punched the ground sending a big crack though the ground toward Catterwaller. Catterwaller leaped nimbly over it, and silhouetted against the moonlight, came down toward Amifist. Amifist raised it's hands to block, and claws scratched harmlessly.

"Amifist's hands are made of solid Amethyst. You can't hurt him!" Josh said. Suddenly a huge fireball whipped through the air, striking Catterwaller. Magmine and T-Dex stood side-by-side.  "Double Blaster!" Alaina and Joe cried. The two sporemon unleashed a two fireballs, that met and became a new super-huge fireball.

"Ali!" Sara, Sam, and Kay ran over. They knew better then to get in the thick of things. They each held hands and bowed their heads.

With friends praying for me, Ali thought, and Jesus' strength, I won't lose!

Catterwaller dodged the fireball. Both Ali and Catterwaller were tiring out. They breathed hard.

"They're getting tired! Strike for our sister, we want her back!" Josh cried.

Amifist, Magmine, and T-Dex all dove at catterwaller at once.

"Lighting shield!!! Lord, show them your light!" Ali yelled.

A yellow shield incased Catterwaller protecting it from the attack.

"Look!" Alaina pointed.

Ali had a glow around her, pure and white. There was some thing in her eyes. The attack faded and the three sporemon lay, defeated. Then someone stepped from behind Ali. He was dressed in white. The three seemed to realize something, and bowed to the figure.

"Welcome home." He said, smiling.

Then they began to change. Josh's skull on his shirt changed to a cross, Joe's mohawk flattened, and Alaina's shirt covered her waist.

Sam smiled. "Hands in,everyone!" they put their hands in a circle, one on top of another. The new team had formed!

A gnarled fist banged the control panel. "No! They've betrayed me! I guess the last sporemon is MY responsibility!"
