Chapter 31

Wraith saw a burst of flame in the sky as he retreated to the line Jeremy was holding on the freeway. He knew that it was something to do with Blaze. A surge of mystic energy surged through him a moment later, a shockwave through the fringe, that signified a release of dangerous power.

He had lost one of the few friends he had in this world. It was almost unbelievable that Anton Black was the one to die. He shouldn't have let him go alone, they were dealing with something stronger than they had expected. Chaos was happening to the world.

The world was changing and from all that he had seen recently, the changes were just beginning. If something was powerful enough to deal with one as powerful as Blaze, than all but a few of the controls were under threats of destruction.

It was as if the world was unraveling around them, the conspiracy and perhaps even the fairies were now under a cloud, a way that everything could end and drop everything crashing in on them.

"What's plan B?" he asked the mission control.

"We blow her up," Jeremy said sadly, "An aircraft is launching to do a flyover for targeting and then we launch."

"It seems like that is our only chance then," Wraith whispered, "I just hope that its not to late, if she has acquired the blades that Blaze carried, then we are in more trouble than we can deal with."

"Yes, we will need to hope and pray for that."

"Our hopes and prayers went with Blaze and he's gone, we don't have anything to help the bombs we have left to use."

"Our last hope lies in the most primitive application of power, Blaze would have hated us, he emphasized finesse over brute force."

"Perhaps that is what caused him to die, he would fight with skill rather than force, it was his trademark."

"Yes, he learned it from the best, but we don't have the time to use that, our mission must proceed and then we will attempt to recover all three blades for use against the ones that are now against us."

"What on earth!" Wraith yelled as he stared at the spot there the burst of flame that launched skywards, "Is that him?"

"I don't know, but it just burned out the IR detectors," Jeremy responded, "And its growing."

The light grew blinding before vanishing to a small stream of flame.

"The fringe and the spirit world have gone haywire," Wraith said with a smile crossing his face, "It's him!"

"Jesus Christ!" Jeremy screamed as he heard the news, "What on earth happened out there!"

"Don't ask me, I've never seen anything like this before!"
