Anza Qi Paper Back 6x9

89
Katipo pushes buttons on her Abstract Data Recorder
Belt Buckle. A red beam streams and combines with her
Transfer Ring beam. The words and images of the code
bounce around and finally flash on a holographic screen
above the Podium. In a moment, a three-dimensional image
of the map that Anza saw moments ago lingers above
the Tome of Legends. She downloads it to her ADR, smiles
and leaves passing the Grey Forms as she goes out through
the kitchen.
Self-satisfied she says, "Later," continuing passed the table
and out the door.
Katipo rushes down the dirt road just moments after Nigel
and Gray Wolf and their band of outlaws gallop away in
the opposite direction. 'Runs like the Wind' races by as she
comes upon Anza lying unconscious. She looks in the
backpack lying next to him. There is no Crest to be found.
She checks Anza's pulse and the bruise on his head, "Sorry
kid. I gotta go."
She calmly raises her arms to the sky; slowly lowering
them to her toes changing into her Latrodectus outfit. She
stretches her arms out in front, looks back at Anza and
clicks her bracelets together. Radiant circles form as she
zooms up and away returning to the Space-Between Dimensions
as 'Runs like the Wind' returns to the old barn
and walks slowly inside.
Daiyu turns to face Katipo as she returns to his side crying
out, "Nigel Churchill and Gray Wolf have the Crest."

We return our sights to the Stellar Monitor. Our vision
focuses on Nous in the Province of Acceptance and on
Earth simultaneously.
Nous sees Katipo fly away, focuses on Earth below and
spots Anza on the dirt road, summons the Stellar Bubble
