Chapter 25: Got Out of There.
I kept my eyes closed as I was lifted into the air. I didn't care as I went up. I just want some rest. I then felt something metallic on my back. Must be the floor of the plane.
"What do you mean we didn't hit the Toon Hall?"
"It was deflected!"
"That's impossible! It can't be deflected, you lousy future-" I found myself punching Henry in the face. He flew backwards into the wall.
"Time for round two." I said, pulling my gloves tighter on. I snapped it onto my wrist. I transformed into my light form. Henry transformed into his dark form. We hovered higher into the air and dashed at each other. I swerved up and flipped. I extended my legs and kicked Henry on the head. I flipped again and landed on the ground. I looked up and in a split-second, I jumped and just barely dodged the dive. I landed and bounced up. "Hardcore activated." I concentrated fully on Henry. My outer peripheral vision turned blue, while everything in the center is either usual colored or bluish. My reflexes against Henry became more swift, but it made me extremely vulnerable to others' attacks. I zeroed in towards Henry and kicked him in the jaw. I then punched him in the face. He attempted to hit me but I quickly swerved downwards and circled around him. When I was right above him, I dashed down but he put up a Shield of Darkness and deflected me. I was dazed by the unexpectedness of the defense and even more dazed since my hyper concentration ended abruptly. I reverted and my whole body felt disabled when I hit the ground. Everything was a blur. I couldn't think straight. I felt a punch from the right and I flew towards the direction. I felt something grab my back and reel me in. I bounced and slid into the doorway.
"Tas, stay calm. We'll take care of this." Mike ensured.
"You mad, bro?" Flappy asked.
"We got this, right Sabrina?"
"I guess."
"Stay safe." I spat out. I closed my eyes.
.
"THE PLANE IS GOING TO CRASH!" I snapped my eyes open. I sat up and saw a knocked out Henry, three badly hurt Toons, and one Kit.
"Tas, you're awake." Kit said. She must have reverted.
"Yeah I am. Guys, let's get out of here!" I shouted. They were already going to do that. They ran towards the emergency exit. I turned around and took a step when I felt something wrap around my ankle. It threw me on the floor and started to reel me in. I flipped over and saw black tentacles coming out of Henry. His eyes were blood red.
"Your friends might have weakened me, but I will still kill you!" More tentacles grabbed my wrists and the other ankle. The fifth tentacle held a dark dagger. It went up, then down at me. I closed my eyes, waiting for the pain.
CLINK! I opened my eyes and saw Kit with Excalibur. She deflected the dagger and cut loose the other tentacles. I fell onto my back and got back up onto my feet.
"Thanks Kit." I thanked. She gave me the sword and I held the blunt side against my chest. I dashed forward and jumped at Henry. I slashed the sword at the center. It created a glowing hole. It grew bigger, and, bigger...
Then he exploded. I quickly grabbed Kit's hand and we got knock-backed into to the doorway and out through the exit. I concentrated fully on what I'm going to do. There were trees below me. I waited to get lower and when I got low enough, I quickly grabbed one of the branches and parkoured to the ground.
"Long time no see,"
"It has been, indeed." Excalibur agreed. I heard leaves rustling. It wasn't windy. I looked around. There was dead silence surrounding us. I heard more rustling sound. Nothing to be seen moving. I waited with the sword in my hand and Kit by my side. Wait a minute, she's not here. I felt something cover my mouth. I tried to shout but it was muffled.
"I got you now."
