Chapter 27: Prophecy Fulfilled

-The deadly disc spun fast in the Mayor's hand. He was still filled with anger that Tyler and Nate got a few cheap shots at him. The two boys looked up from the ground at their spinning death.

"Now I will end this!" The Mayor said as he pulled his arm back to throw the disk.

"Detonating Clay: Centipede!" A familiar voice yelled as the clay from the back pack flew out and formed a centipede. The clay creature lunged itself onto the Mayor, causing an explosion. The explosion cause the Mayor to drop the disk, and it flew down, threw the ground, into the building itself. Tyler and Nate got up and ran away from the smoke. Ryan then climbed over the edge of the building and cracked his neck.

"Man oh man, I didn't know how much longer I could wait." Ryan said as the others looked stunned. Tyler looked at Ryan standing in front of him. He then looked over at the body that was lying lifeless on the ground.

"Ryan, I knew you were alive." Nate said shaking his head.

"Yep, it was pretty obvious how I survived." Ryan laughed. From the smoke the Mayor slowly walked out into view.

"You, how did you live?" The Mayor demanded. Ryan smiled lightly.

"The magician should never tell his secrets. But if you insist, look at body on the ground over there." Ryan pointed; they all looked and saw a second Ryan, dead with a hole in his chest. "Now when I release my chakra," Ryan inhaled and the body turned to a pile of clay.

"Clay Clone." Tyler said in amazement.

"Yeah, I noticed there was no blood, so I knew it had to be something like that." Nate said proudly. The Mayor looked back at the group. They stared each other down for a long moment. Then the elevator door opened. They all looked in surprise to see Katherine. She looked over at Lauren with rage. The Mayor smiled and saw an opportunity.

-"What are you doing, let's go." Katherine demanded as she grabbed her sister's arm.

"No way, they need my help." Lauren protested, pulled her arm out of her sister's grasp.

"You look like your just watching. Please, I don't want you to get…" Katherine trailed off as she saw the Mayor, badly beaten staring at her with a smile.

"Don't do it!" Ryan demanded. But he knew it was useless because at that moment The Mayor was in flight, flying towards a defenseless Katherine, and the three of them were not fast enough to do anything.

-Katherine looked in horror as the Mayor rushed towards her in the air, with a look of blood lust in his eyes. He wanted to cause her pain, she knew that much, and she had no hope. She pushed Lauren away, closed her eyes, and prepared for the worst as the tears began.

-"NO!" The yell came from over the edge of the building. They all looked over to see Dustin appear, with Zach hanging from his arms. He dropped Zach hard and tackled the Mayor, a mere foot from Katherine. He pushed the Mayor with all his force, midair, across the top of the building, and then above the open air. He pushed him into a next standing building, threw glass and steel. Dustin stopped mid-way through the building and saw the limp body of the Mayor on the ground, groaning from the surprise attack. Dustin gasped for air and looked back and then back at his foe. Dustin flew out of the building, and right in front of the hole he made. He floated there for a long moment.

"What is he doing?" Tyler asked as he looked on with the others.

"KamehameHA!" Dustin yelled, quickly forming the beam, shooting it at the Mayor, causing explosion deep in the empty building. Dustin took a long sigh and flew back to his friends.

-"Katherine, it's ok." A voice said from behind her eyes. She didn't know what happen. She assumed she was dead, but nothing happen. She only heard noise. She opened an eye and saw Dustin, breathing hard. She acted without thinking and threw her arms around him. "Umm, hi." Dustin said confused and blushing.

"What she means to say is thank you." Lauren said smiling. Tyler, Ryan and Zach ran over to Dustin in amazement, while Nate shifted towards Lauren.

"That was sweet Dustin. I didn't know you had that kind of power!" Ryan said energetically.

"What happen to you? I couldn't feel your energy." Dustin asked Ryan as Katherine let go and blushed.

"I used Clay Clone. I suppressed my Chakra as much as possible. I didn't know if the Mayor could detect it."

"Ok, so you were hanging off the edge of the building?" Tyler asked.

"Of course not, there is a platform over the edge. I realized that he was going to win if I fought alone. I tricked him with the clone and hid." Ryan was interrupted by an explosion in the building the Mayor was in.

"I wonder how much damage I just caused." They laughed, but suddenly the Mayor emerged from building. Everyone's eye wide large in horror.

"How are we going to beat this guy?" Zach asked. The Mayor floated towards them and landed on the building.

"That was a good move. I see Sean failed." The Mayor said, They could feel the anger coming from him. "So I guess the old saying is true, if you want something done right, do it yourself." The Mayor yelled into the air.

"Alright guys, we have to end this!" Dustin commanded. "Let's take him out NOW!"

Dustin was at the front of the charge. He threw a kick to the side of the Mayor, but the Mayor grabbed it. The Mayor threw him into Nate.

Zach formed four sand rings from his back pack and launched them towards the Mayor. They attached to his wrist and ankles. Zach focused and forced the rings together, restraining the Mayor. He smiled. The Mayor forced the sand rings apart shattering the sand as they fell to the ground. Zach looked shocked and the Mayor formed an energy ball and shot it at Zach. Zach tried to form a sand wall, but the Mayor was quicker. The energy ball hit Zach in the stomach and was launched on his back.

Nate got up and rushed the Mayor. He threw a barrage of punches and kicks, none landing on the Mayor. The Mayor grabbed Nate's fist as he tried to attack.

Ryan ran forward, hands together; ready to summon another clay creature when the Mayor threw Nate into the air, then pointed his two index fingers towards Ryan.

"Crazy Beam Attack!" The Mayor yelled as dozens of beams shot out of each of the Mayor's fingers, all of them rapidly hitting Ryan. Ryan could not react. Once the Mayor was done, he fell to the ground, badly hurt. Nate fell back down, but the Mayor kicked him onto the ground.

Tyler pointed his own finger towards the Mayor, while he was distracted. "Chocolate Beam!" The Mayor saw Tyler mid-sentence, and sped over to him. He grabbed Tyler's arm and pointed it up, towards the helicopter. Tyler tried to stop the beam but it was too late. The beam hit the back sputter of the helicopter, turning it into chocolate. It started to spin around uncontrollably.

"Now those people will die because of you." The Mayor told Tyler as he looked guilty at his actions.

Dustin sprung from the ground and flew towards the helicopter. He grabbed the helicopter form the bottom, and struggled to keep it in the air.

The Mayor twisted Tyler's arm and flipped him on to the ground. Zach lunged towards the Mayor, but the Mayor moved slightly out of the way, and launched his knee into Zach's stomach midair. Zach crashed into the ground. The Mayor looked over to Dustin who was distracted with holding the helicopter, and trying to find a place to land the helicopter.

"Now I get rid of the ring leader." The Mayor said as he pointed his finger towards Dustin. "Time for a Death Beam." A back pack then hit the Mayor in the head and he growled to look over at Nate. He looked down to see the back pack was fully of clay. "If you're in such a hurry to die, then you should have asked." The Mayor said as he pointed his finger towards Nate.

Dustin finally got the helicopter on the top of another building and saw the situation.

The Nate shut his eyes and opened them up again, his Sharingan was gone. Power gathered at the tip of the Mayor finger that was pointed right at Nate. "Oh damn, not now. Without the Sharingan I don't have a chance to dodge this thing."

The beam shot from the Mayor's finger. The whole world turned to slow motion in everyone's eyes. Dustin tried to fly over to save Nate, but he was too late. Zach groaned in pain from his stomach. He saw that there was nothing he could do to save his brother. Tyler was struggling to get up as he tried to stop the Mayor. Ryan rolled over to see the beam over his head, heading towards Nate. Nate closed his eyes, and readied himself for the worst as the beam approached him, and he realized there was nothing anyone could do to save him.

Suddenly, and with much surprises, Lauren pushed Nate out of the way, she turned and watched as the purple beam hit her threw her chest. The impact threw her back slowly. Everyone watched in shock as blood spattered on the ground, and Lauren slowly followed.
