11: SHATTERED

"We saw the portal not far from here... That is where those creatures are coming from!" Lay uttered as he tried to remain calm despite the continuous attacks to the shield

"Sooner or later they will find this island too small for them to inhabit and might search for larger lands!" Minzy exclaimed out of worry as she looked at CL who was struggling a bit, worrying for her sake.

"If that is the case our main concern is to disseminate this information and let the elders know that instead of locating the 5th element, our priority has changed!" Bom concluded as she looked at Dara

"Can you do something about the communicator in the ship? If it is still intact?" CL asked Dara who is their main technical specialist

"If it is still there I can find a way, but if it isn't, then we need to find a way out of here and teleport you back to the base and inform them." Dara said as she gestured towards CL

"What do we do now? You are still hurt! I doubt if you could teleport that far away with the state you are in." Suho uttered out of worry for CL's condition

"I can do it, I just need sunbaenim to guide me on how to do it." Kai volunteered himself seeing how CL is still recuperating, and it is very dangerous to teleport if one is injured, he or she cannot focus on their destination

"What do we do about the creatures lurking around the island, they obviously know the existence of the house now!" Chanyeol asked scratching his head seeing the lizards continuously attacking the now visible shield.

"We fight until we can and give Kai the much needed opening to travel." CL answered with much determination

"That's risky!" Kris exclaimed worrying for

"Want to fly then hyung?" Baekhyun teased as he nudged Kris who immediately considered it

"It takes too much time to fly from here back to base, teleporting is much easier!" Xiumin reasoned out

Bom then tried to tend to CL's wounds which was well taken care of by Lay and Hi already, she just needed to constantly send her healing powers towards the mark to cleanse her blood off of thr venom of the aliens.

Dara was thinking hard of what she can do to eliminate such a very dangerous mission for a first level elemental, she worries that Kai might get lost in the dimensions, since he is not that familiar with the place and especially the difficult situation they were in, they were in an unknown area... Off the grid!

"Luhan... How good are you with the oracle comm?" Dara asked

"I am having a hard time perfecting it, but I can connect with it for a very brief moment, why?" Luhan replied hesitantly

"CL we can both try to make contact with the oracle using telekinesis... It is much safer but it would take us time to concentrate and meditate!" Dara exclaimed feeling excited with her recent thought

BLAG!

BLAG!

BLAG!

There was a loud noise to be heard just outside, 

"Um guys... I hate to break the party, but we've got company!" Chen jested gesturing towards the outside of the window

"It's those lizard things!" Sehun pointed out

"They located the barrier and they are trying to break through! Ottokae?! Why is this island full of large insects?!" Tao whined out of disgust for the aliens.

Meanwhile, in the corner of the room, the main resident of the house was there struggling to hold off the barrier she has created shielding the presence of the house from the aliens.

"HI! Are you alright?!" DO ran towards her seeing that she was having a hard time holding the barrier off

Luhan and Dara started to concentrate and meditate to make a connection with the oracle to inform the base of their status.

BLAG! 

BLAG!

BLAG!

"I am afraid I cannot hold it for much longer!" HI informed everyone as she struggled to keep the shield

"We need to put a barrier around the house before HI's shield gives off!" Bom uttered

"Chanyeol, DO, Xiumin, Suho and Sehun... create barriers surrounding the house to protect it from any incoming attacks from the aliens!" CL gave the order

"What will we do then?" Chen asked

"We fight off those aliens as they attack... we will not wait for them to breach the barrier and destroy our only safe haven!" Minzy uttered as she readied her sword

"But you do know that once I remove the shield... not only this house but the whole island will be free off of the shield and the portal will continue to grow who knows what will come out of it!" HI informed everyone

"You have enveloped the whole island with a barrier?" Baekhyun said with wide eyed amusement

"Perhaps the shield is the reason we cannot fully use our abilities here!" Dara stated much to everyone's surprise

"It could be! But then again, HI... if you release the shield can you put it back up again, we need just a short amount of time to contact the elders about the situation here!" CL considered while thinking of any possible options they have.

"I d-don't know... I am not sure... but, I can try!" HI hesitated while shaking her head as she slowly retreated her shield and everyone braced for the upcoming attack.
