Forgive me for such a late chapter, but better late than never right? Enjoy.

Chapter 16: A Fall of a Star

We headed to the back of the stage to see Zabels' back towards us playing his guitar. We looked at the stadium. The crowd appeared to be under hypnosis. I immediately thought of Brandon and his girl. I grabbed a nearby bottle of water and without hesitation, launched it at Zabels' head.

"Argh!"

I grimaced when Zabels' face turned and met my eyes. He was a total zombie. His eyes glowed bright red, his shirt was completely gone revealing his stomach which was actually a mouth in place of his abdomen. His eyes widened when he noticed Morrigan beside Talbain and I.

"Aensland Bitch!" He roared. "Glad ya' can join the show!"

Morrigan had a serious look on her face. "I'm only here to end it"

"Wel' good luck wit' that mate, the shows already began!" Zabel yelled. Then he plucked his guitar which sent a wave unto the entire stadium.

BRANDON! I thought

"I'll buy you guys time. Go find your friend" Talbain stated as he rushed towards Zabel.

"Morrigan, C'mon!" I yelled.

We bombarded our way through people in the crowd who were under Zabels' spell. They all stood around lifelessly.

"This way!" I called to Morrigan.

We ran up the stadium stairs until we got to our old seats. I looked around for Brandon and his girl.

"Jay, they're right up there" Morrigan pointed.

I looked two rows up to see my friend staring into thin air by Alyssa. I climbed my way up the seats.

"Brandon!" I yelled in his face.

His eyes looked lifeless.

Shit!

I picked him up and tossed him on my shoulders.

One

I spotted Alyssa not too far away.

Two

Looks like all that lifting's paying off

"Let's put them somewhere safe from here" Morrigan stated.

We escaped the stadium and into the parking lot. Up ahead I caught a nearby pick-up truck and lowered the back flap and laid the lifeless bodies down.

I heard the sound of wings flutter behind me. I turned to see Morrigan in her succubus form.

"I'm going to help Talbain take down Zabel" she said.

"Do that, I'll pro-"

Just then, the stadium doors burst open and out came hundreds of people zombie-walking their way to the only conscious people in front of them; Morrigan and myself.

Morrigan looked at the zombie horde and back at me. "You think you can hold your own?"

"Fuck yeah. Go ahead. I'll meet you!"

Morrigan gave me a smile and in the blink of an eye, her wings took off like a fighter jet. I turned my attention back to Brandon and Alyssa.

Holy Shit!

Brandon jumped off the back of the truck giving me heavy clothesline. I quickly recovered and punched him off of me. I rubbed my neck.

Shit, that kinda hurt

I looked at my possessed friend as I noticed Alyssa climb off the back of the pick-up. Not only was that, but the zombie squad behind them were advancing towards us.

Crap, I have to think… and fast

The next minute, my friend ran towards me to deliver a right hook.

I grabbed his arm and judo-flipped him onto the ground and gave him the Cain-treatment with a karate chop to his throat.

He's done

"My fault bro, but you fucked up clotheslining me" I remarked.

Then at that moment, I felt a hand grasp my shoulder. I instantly spun around to see Alyssa. I counter attacked her with another karate chop.

She fell with a THUD.

Good thing Dad put me in karate class at seven

Now the crowd was only a few feet away from me. Without further hesitation, I clicked my wrist and within five seconds I was suited up.

CHINK.

I looked at the zombie-horde ahead of me.

Damn. I might have to take care of them later on

But for now, I looked at my friend and his girl.

I have to get them away from here.

I scooped them up on my shoulders and took off into the sky. I searched around. Nearby, I spotted a park. I descended and placed them on a bench together. Anyone who comes by will just think they're sleep.

I stepped a few feet back and took off back to the stadium. As I flew over, the same crowd was still lingering in the parking lot. I flew into the stadium to see small explosions and soul fists every here and there. As I hovered over the scene, I planned an attack on Zabel.

Time for the dead to go back to the grave

I gripped my fist and extended them towards the stadium and targeted Zabel. At the snap of a finger three small crevices opened amongst my knuckles and each let out a missile that flew towards the rock star.

In less than two seconds, Zarock collapsed to the floor.

Bulls-eye

I sonic boomed and double flipped onto the stage.

Morrigan put a hand on her hip. "Way to make an entrance, huh?"

I chuckled. "Better late than never right?"

"Cut the foreplay" Talbain stated. "He's still alive"

Zabel stood to his feet, "So three versus' one eh? That's unfair don't cha think mates?!"

Suddenly, Zabel summoned his guitar. "La Salta! Come Forth!"

Suddenly, a froglike creature with one eye appeared by Zabels side.

I studied the creature. That's the same thing I saw back at that abandoned building. The creature's one eye blinked at me as if it was actually a wink.

"Let's sho' our friends here a fight to remembah, eh?" , said Zabel. "ATTACK MATE!"

At Zabels' command, the creature grew ten times its original size and crawled right towards Morrigan with its mouth wide open.

Oh fuck!

I flew in front of Morrigan and into the creature's mouth.

"Jay!" I heard Morrigan and Talbain call.

The creature's mouth closed. Suddenly, I felt the space around get tighter.

This thing is trying to chew me!

I immediately started bashing the creature from the inside with my fists. It seemed to be useless so I tried plan b.

"HERE WE GO AGAIN!"

I let out my Incinerating Force Field once again. To my amazement, the plan worked. The creature incinerated from inside out. In a few seconds I could see the stadium around me along with Morrigan and Talbain as they came to my side.

I searched for Zabel.

"YOU KILLED MY CO'PANION MATE!" I heard an enraged Zombie from behind.

"That's for calling my girl a bitch" I said, spotting Zabel.

I instantly let out a hand beam at Zabel. Zabel then hammered his guitar into the ground sending a huge tear through the floor that ignited with the beam that caused a big explosion that sent up smoke everywhere. We all jumped into the air right before the floor swallowed us into the abyss. We landed back on the stage and waited for the smoke to clear.

"He's gone" Talbain simply stated.

"Damn" I muttered.

Talbain walked to my side and laid his hand on my shoulder. "He'll be back, but in the meantime let's get your friend"

"Right"

"C'mon, I'll come with you" Morrigan said approaching me.

A few minutes later, Morrigan and I landed a block away from the park to transform to our original selves. We walked into the park to see Brandon and Alyssa in a state of confusion.

"Yo Jay, how'd we get here?" Brandon asked.

"There was a big accident at the concert and you got hurt so Morrigan and I brung you here by foot"

We all heard the sound of sirens down the street as three ambulance trucks zoomed past one by one towards the rock concert.

"Shit that's crazy…my neck hurts like a bitch. Anyway, thanks bro. Alyssa and I gotta get out of here though"

"Yeah, thanks you two" said Alyssa.

"Anytime", Morrigan smiled.

"See you guys around" Brandon called as he and Alyssa turned down the street.

I put up the peace sign as we seen them disappear around the corner.

"That was one hell of a night huh" I said to Morrigan as we started walking home.

"Yeah, so much for our date"

Morrigans' tone was a bit different than usual.

"I still had fun though" she said.

"Yeah I really wanted to kick Zabels' ass for disrespecting you like that"

"Thanks, but bae, save your energy for Demitri"

I chuckled. "I almost thought I heard you say bae for a second"

Morrigan smiled. "That's because I did, Jay", she said. "And wait"

We stopped. Morrigan looked into my eyes and at my lips. I looked at hers.

At that moment Morrigan took my cheeks in her soft hands and pressed her lips on mine. She slowly wrapped her arms around my neck and we kissed under the night sky.

Our lips parted and I opened my eyes. "What was that for?"

"You saved me…again" Morrigan said softly.

She's right…How could I forget?

Guess you can call him her Su- Dammit. Well there's a spoiler alert.
