Chapter Thirty-seven
Cross: Don't just stand there, attack them!
A new wave of infected arose and attacked, but once again they were stopped, by some kind of black tentacles.
Cross: What now?
Nix jumped down from the building.
Nix: Uh uh uh. Did you think you would be able to attack that easily? Let em up, demon!
Cole shot lightning which made the tentacles explode, killing many infected and wounding the hunters.
Cross: They have that black b*tch too, but they are still outmatched.
Cole: Give up now Cross, You can't win.
Cross: I doubt it. You are way over your head, electric rod.
Cole: You'll see if we are or aren't.
Cross: Now...Rise!
Suddenly the ground shook and out from the ground came nine hydras.
Cross: Kill them!
The infected attacked.
Cole and Alex were taking care of the hunters, while Nix was killing the smaller ones. The Hydras were attacking all three, making it difficult to defeat the hunters.
Nix: Any ideas?
Cole: Keep fighting!
Alex, Cole, and Nix were killing them one by one, but more and more kept appearing.
Nix: Shit, there's too many, Cole!
The horde kept getting quicker and quicker.
Nix: They're going to exhaust us to death or something! Because It's kinda working!
The three were surrounded at this point by everyone. They were all exhausted.
Cole: Well, now we know how many we're dealing with.
Nix: This is a small percentage of their actual numbers.
Cole: Great. So much for saving the world. Keep attacking!
Cole drew his amplifier and activated karma overload, which gave him infinite energy for a brief time. Alex activated his blade, and Nix activated her most recent acquired ability; the napalm whip, which was entirely made of fire.
They charged, killing many numbers. They were taking down multiple number with a few strikes.
Alas, it was almost all in vain, since more appeared just as quickly.
All three kept fighting and fighting, until their abilities were even exhausted and their energies were critically low.
Nix: Cole, we can't fight anymore. What do we do?!
At this point the three heroes were just barely dodging the attacks.
They were all hit and sent to the center of the area, where once again they were surrounded similar to how wolves surround a herd of sheep.
Nix: We are so finished.
The infected drew closer and closer, while Cole, Alex and Nix's were basically trapped into a circle.
Cross: This is why you don't get cocky, lightning rod. You will die here, all three of you.
Greene and Cross left the area, thinking this business was taken care of.
Cole: We have one final chance. We all need to time this correctly.
Nix: Go on.
Cole: Nix, you activate your napalm tentacles as you did in the beginning. Alex, you activate your ground spikes, immediately after Nix. Then I make my move.
Nix: Which is?
Cole: You'll see. Get into position, and when I say now, do it. Give this your all, both of you.
Alex: I'm ready.
Nix: So am I.
Cole: Good.
The infected approached slowly.
Cole: Now!
Nix activated her tentacles with all her remaining energy, which lifted up all the small infected.
Alex used his ground spike devastator, which either launched killed the infected or launched them into the air.
Now, it was Cole's turn. He charged up all his energy and summoned a ionic lightning storm.
With the combination of all these devastating destructive powers, the ground shook violently.
The combination went on for 45 seconds, and then it was all over. The three heroes fell on their backs. The air was loaded with smoke.
Cole: Did we do it?
Nix raised her head to look if anything survived.
Nix: We did it. They're all dead.
Cole: Finally. Some rest.
Nix: That was some deadly attack. I'll be f*cked if anyone survived that.
Cole: Yeah, it was.
The three heroes were entirely drained out.
Suddenly, Nix was grabbed by her leg and raised off the ground.
Nix: What the-?! Hey let me go!
It was Greene.
Cole: Sh*t! It's Greene!
Cole and Alex tried to get up but they fell down as soon as they got up.
Nix: Let me go you ugly lard of sh*t!
Greene threw her at the ground with force. Nix was unable to defend herself.
Greene then stomped on Nix's stomach, leaving a hole.
Cole: NIX!
Nix coughed up blood, as the life was drawn out of her.
Nix: You'll...pay...for...that...you...piece...of...
With those words, Nix's hands fell to the ground and her final breathe was gone.
Greene then went near Cole and Alex.
Cole: I'll-I'll make you pay for that! I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL!
Suddenly, the ground began to shake, and the sky began to turn gray quickly.
Cole: You just signed your tombstone, Greene.
Cole's voice entirely different, with an echo before it and after it. His eyes glowed blue entirely, his body covered with electricity.
Greene backed away a few steps, with fear, unknowing of what she had just unleashed.
Alex sat up and back away as well.
Cole: Prepare to face your judgment.
