Valkyrie:
I walk along the rough concrete footpath with my hands in my pockets and nothing to do this morning. No cases, no assignments, no bad guys running around. It been like this for weeks now and Im seriously disappointed in all the bad guys out there. They better be planning something big so Skullduggery and I can stop them, save the world and have some fun hitting people again.
Then there's a buzz in my pocket. I reach for my phone. Skulduggery's calling maybe we've finally got a mission.
"Hello" I say "Do we finally have a fun assignment?" I ask
"Yes we do" says Skullduggery. A grin spreads across my face
"What is it? Who do we have to get?" I ask excitedly finally something to do
" We have to go and inspect a prison to confirm the safety of it to the Sanctuary " says Skullduggery. I groan my grin fading
"What was the point of making me exited for that? How is that a fun assignment?" I say
"I didn't want to disappoint you. You wanted a fun assignment so I said the assignment was fun. And it is its a very important job Valkyrie if the prison isn't safe, some major bad, bad guys could break out"
"But we would just capture them back and put them in prison" I complain " and we would get something fun to do" I say
"Yes but prevention is better. I will pick you up from your house in a few minutes" says Skullduggery and he hangs up.
I sigh and head back to my house.
I'm standing out the front of my house when a black Bentley parks out side of it. I open the door of the passenger side and climb in.
"Hello" says Skullduggery
"Hi" I say back "so what makes this prison special enough to need to be inspected by us?" I ask
"It holds not the people who have done the worst but those with unstable powers. That's why it needs to be inspected for safety" says Skullduggery. I can tell that he is still trying to get me to think this will be fun.
As we arrive at the prison. A square single storied building not very impressive from the outside. We are greeted by the warden a man named Razor. Razor is tall, with a shaved head, very muscular and has a scar across his right check. Very intimidating. Razor welcomes us inside with a hoarse voice. We look around the small room with a few desks and waiting chairs.
" All the prisoners are kept under ground" Razor explains. Skullduggery nods at him and Razor leads the way down a echoing metal staircase. As I walked down I feel all the magic in me drain away I hate the feeling but don't say anything about it. At the bottom of the stairs there is a metal door. Razor opens it and there is a hallway. And on ether side there are cells running along all the way down the corridor. I hear growling coming from the cells as I come closer to look at them I see a man with red spikes running down his spine. A woman with blue skin long claws and sharp teeth. A woman with wolf like ears sticking out the top of her head and yellow eyes. A man covered in scales who's running around in circles in his cell. A creature with a human shaped face but is more like a blob made out of green goo. And more strange looking people.
Razor reaches a door at the end of the hallway and walks through it into a large room. The room is divided into half's by a glass wall on the other side of the glass wall is a girl a with tangled blonde hair hanging in mid-air with chains tied around her hands and feet. The chains seemed to be extracting a orange glow out of the girl. The girl was unconscious.
"This girl is an elemental, a very strong one. But she only focused on the element of fire she skipped air. She became extremely strong with fire but then her power took over her and she became unstable. This is why elementals should practice different elements other than just one. So that the elements balance each other." Said Razor "now if she gets even a small breeze of real air she will catch on fire that is why we are pumping fake air into her cell"
"Well thanks for leading me in here" says a voice from behind me. Razor, Skullduggery and I whip around to see Sanguine standing there with a smirk on his face.
Skullduggery goes for his gun but the floor cracks below Sanguine and he sinks through holding a device in his hand.
"He has a power holder! the only thing that can stop him from losing his powers when he walks in this building." Says Razor.
They look around trying to find any cracks in the walls where Sanguine could show up. Then cracks appear in the wall of the cell the girl is in. Sanguine steps out of the wall and bringing with him fresh air. The girls head snaps up and she opens her eyes. Her eyes aren't really eyes but it fire where her eyes should be. Skullduggery goes to shoot Sanguine through the glass but Razor stops him saying that would just let more air in and her whole body will catch on fire. Instead Razor orders to have sleeping gas filtered in through the cell and instantly a green gas comes though the vents. Sanguine takes a deep breath when he sees the gas and starts to undo the chains on the girl as the chains go the girls hair catches on fire but she is now asleep. Sanguine carries her over to the wall and they disappear through it.
We all rush into the main hallway where the fire girl (who was now fully on fire and looking more like a small comet coming to Earth) had set all the prisoners free. Skullduggery shot at her but the fire melted the bullets before they could reach her. She still noticed though. The fire girl looked at Skullduggery with her flaming eyes and out stretched one hand toward him. A massive fire ball as big as the hallway shot toward them and they had to dive into the now empty cells to avoid it.
I grunted as pain shot up the shoulder I had landed on and get up to see if she is still attacking us but she had disappeared. I look at Skullduggery who had gotten up as well. There was no noise and as we got out side Sanguine, the fire girl and the rest of the prisoners had disappeared.
