“Everybody okay?”Harold asks, looking at each and everyone of the youth that was with him.All three were still coughing from the smoke, daze and shocked, they were all panting as they tried to take in as much air.Luckily, he could react fast enough, ordering Daniela to create a sphere force field about the size of a basketball.“I didn’t think we’d survive that.”The girl struggled to breathe, gurgling when she felt her insides still rolling.The blast had thrown them out into the forest, into a bush where they remained hiding, allowing them an accidental escape.“Good thing you had that idea. I did not think that was possible, fitting so many people in a small defense, and because of that, we fortified the force field tenfolds.”Arnold tries to laugh off the near death experience. Thanks to that, they could withstand the blast that the attacker let out.Because of of shrinking the defensive shield, their friend could recreate it about several times over, creating a more resilient
Dereck was feeling woozy, after going all out for the first time.He’d never had done such a thing before, and it felt liberating that he could still feel his blood rushing with such adrenaline that it tingled with so much power.He could not help but smile, looking at his hands that continued to glimmer with sparks from his attack.His amazement and fascination disappears only when he saw the damages that he had made.It had obliterated trees into nothing but charred pieces of coal, while the grass had turned to ash, making the place look barren.It replaced joy with panic, seeing that he was the only one that was there.He wasn’t thinking clearly before, having accumulated such energy that it totally got him drunk in power that he completely forgot about his friends.“Hey, where are you guys?”He called out.He was now laced with fear, realizing what he could have done because of his arrogance.Beads of sweat rolled down his side, along with his tears, as there was only rubble all a
“There’s our way out! Melo, get us there!”Oliver could notice the immediate change in the air, along with the movement of the mist towards where the flare came from.With the man having kept them alive for that long, every single one of them had gained respect for the guy, even though he was the same age as they were.The girl was quick to comply, only activating her ability when she sensed everyone had grabbed a hold of her.They transported in an area out of the mist’s bounds, allowing them to get out of the fog, taking out any insectoid that they encountered.“Sir Oliver!”Julie greeted with teary eyes the moment they jumped out of there. Bruno met them midway, who immediately backed them up.“You guys all right?”He asks, noticing that the fire starter was on his knees trembling and was in disarray, while the other two were busy trying to fight the horde.He search for sir Chris, but there was no trace of him or his essence, which was fairly odd.“Dereck, he seems to have lost it
“Surrender now, officer. It’s already too late.”A man’s face appeared from the mound of earth, covering himself with dirt like some sort of armor.The arm made of rubble grasped the sphere where his friends were.Even if they remained protected, the enemy still held them captive, unable to escape the things hold.“Not a chance! Where’d you take the sergeant?”He hissed.Though he knew he was up against an A class user, he did not falter, knowing that the guy had lost a great amount of his energy, seeing that the mound could barely keep its form, having used up most of it to create that giant a moment ago.For this fight, Oliver took out a mace like weapon, but instead of having spikes on the large ball that was attached to it, this one had holes in it.“You’ll find out soon enough.”The man smirked, before hardening the soil that covered him and reshaping it into what looked liked a huge medieval armor.Though it was not as big as the statue a while ago, it still towered over him, be
“What are we going to do?”Julie screamed in horror, trembling at the sight of the immense body that was slithering above them.Not even the fog was enough to cover the size of the creature as it crawled and wriggled itself around them.The group of A class user was throwing everything they had at it, sending their own monsters, attacking with large chunks of stones, and trying to shift the surrounding dimension to throw it off balance, but to no avail.The beast was too massive to be enclosed in such a space, and whenever they tried to increase the mist, it would only slam its body, causing an earthquake that halted the groups’ concentration.“We’re screwed.”Kyle whimpered, running around in circles within the pocket dimension that they were in.All they could do was stay there in the sphere's safety, watching how the behemoth trampled and dominated their enemies, as their attacks barely graze the beast.It was like they were throwing stick at a stone wall, hardly putting any kind o
“Seriously, aren’t you guys being overly too dramatic?”The man raised a brow, his expression questioning as he narrowed his gaze on the sphere that they were in.Everybody ended up stopping, recognizing the owner of the voice. They all turned dumbfounded, staring up at the fellow who was looking down at them.As of now, the special private looked like a giant from their perspective, having shrunk their defensive barrier to the size of a basketball, allowing themselves to fit in it, thanks to the bartender’s pocket dimension.“Sir Chris! I knew you were all right.”Oliver could not hide his relief. Joy immediately took over him upon seeing the private’s face.It was only then that the others calmed down, as they now felt safe looking at the man holding on to them.“Why wouldn’t I be?”Again, the man’s brow rose, confused by the question.Everybody, especially Dereck, gaped, forcing themselves to explain the reason for the idea, but then embarrassment blocked their chain of thought, as
Sirens continued to wail, along with its red lights that kept on glowing, signaling for an emergency. It mixed with the sounds of shouts, orders, cursing, and a lot of footsteps going back and forth.The non-stop noise, together with the on and off glow passing through his eyes, forced Raynald’s consciousness to wake.Still feeling groggy, he was quick to check if he could move. He felt relieved getting a sense of his fingers and toes, signs that the toxins in his body were wearing off.He tries to see his surroundings. Everything remained blurry, though the cold water gave those needle like prickling on his skin.He was thankful that he could feel it now, no longer having those numbing sensations that kept him on hold.A few more moments and he could make out the visions of what was happening in front of him.Several men in uniform armed with rifles were running around, being ordered by a few guys in lab coats.He could not understand what they were shouting, but the manner in which
Bodies loitered all over the place, no blood, all bruised, and unconscious. There were bullet marks on the wall, together with a few broken and scratched up machinery.Lights flickered along the path as they continued to make their way into the hall. It did not take long before they hear arguing, which forced Raynald to keep his eyes open a bit longer.He was being carried by Bruno on his back, all the while the two others remained on watch behind.Afar, the remaining gang members of the black thirteen, were waiting in front of a large double door.All of them were on guard as they had their abilities at the ready, staring at the other entrances that were there. They only stopped when they noticed them.“It’s the Boss!”The youths ran towards them the moment they saw them approaching.All had this smile and tears on their faces as they rush to greet them.Immediately, they got surrounded by the screaming and flailing youngster, as each one of them tried to check on him.“Settle down g
