New Threats--Part VII
Cin smiled in satisfaction as she appeared outside a large door on the top floor of a huge building that was in the center of Odaiba, Japan.
The hallway she was in was dark and dreary and really not much to look at, but the room through the door was another story.
She lightly knocked and a harsh, metallic voice boomed: "enter."
Cin twisted the cold doorknob and stepped into the room. Three of the four walls were covered in millions of tiny surveillance cameras, each showing a different place in the world.
"What is it, Cin?" the voice demanded.
Cin kneeled down and stated: "Master Creed, sir, I have the children that Ruki and Mazu could not catch. It was rather easy, if I may add."
"Why have you not destroyed them?"
"I thought you would rather do it yourself."
A pause, then: "perhaps. Yes. I think it will be...enjoyable. After all, they ARE children."
"Oh, Creed, before you go, I must warn you! One has already found their inner power. But do not fear, I have rendered him helpless for the moment."
"Very good work, Cin. When I rule you shall be my most trusted officer."
Cin smiled and replied: "thank you, sir."

"TK? TK, come on! You've got to be all right!" Matt was muttering, gently shaking his younger brother, and hoping that somehow TK would reawaken.
The events of the past five minutes had happened so quickly the seven conscious children were still getting used to them.
In less than a second they had been transported from the Ishida's apartment to an underground prison. Cin had remained with them only long enough to taunt: "enjoy your last moments" before teleporting away.
They had checked the bars of the cage, but they were thick and very sturdy, unwilling to bend in the least. Instead of panic or fear, the seven children each had taken a varying degree of acceptance to the situation; making the cell mostly quiet, save for when somebody tried to awaken TK.
Footsteps were echoing from far away, drawing closer and closer. A shadow appeared on the wall and then the figure that matched the shadow appeared.
But the person was difficult to see as they were wearing a large black cloak pulled closely around their face at the hood.
"Who are you?" Mimi whispered.
An inhuman, cold voice responded: "I am Creed, ruler of this planet and eventually the entire universe."
"A bit overconfident, aren't you?" Kari retorted.
"Perhaps. But I also have my only threatening foe here, at my mercy."
Creed stepped from the shadows and removed the hood from his face before tossing the cloak away and leaving only the robes beneath it.
His face was horrible; a mutation of metal and flesh, melded into one. One eye was a normal human eye and the other was bloodshot, bulging and surrounded by metal. One of his arms was partially made of metal as well.
"Now whom shall I kill first?" he pondered, looking at each of them in turn. His eyes rested on Tai and he smirked: "you. The leader of this pitiful little band."
Creed opened the cage and motioned for all the children to exit.
"Don't bother trying to escape, the exits are sealed," he informed them. "Go ahead. Fight me. But you shall not win."
Quicker than lightning his hand shot out and snatched Tai's arm in a grip so tight it cut off his blood flow.
All at once the six able-bodied children were hitting, kicking, scratching or trying to hurt Creed, but he wasn't even flinching. Instead, he just squeezed Tai's arm even tighter.
Tai wanted so badly to fight back, but he was afraid that if he attempted to move Creed would remove his arm.
Izzy contemplated how Creed was standing on his feet and noticed he was rather unbalanced. In fact, a simple push would...
In the next instant he had pushed Creed from the side with all his might.
Creed was so surprised he let go of Tai's arm and fell onto the ground.
But the next instant he was up on his feet again, this time going after Izzy instead. Everyone besides TK and Tai were fighting against Creed. TK was still unconscious and Tai had pitched forward onto the ground feeling as though a white-hot iron was burning through his back.
Creed suddenly stopped fighting against the children and took a flying leap across the room away from Tai and shouted: "impossible!"
He seemed to be in shock. Joe, Izzy, Matt, Sora, Mimi and Kari all turned to see what Creed was so afraid of and gasped.
Tai was on the ground gasping for breath as though he was in immense pain. And he was. It was as though his shoulder blades were stretching, hollowing becoming so much different from what he was used to and he could feel every tiny change.
The back of his shirt ripped and through the tears came a pair of wings. And suddenly the pain was gone.
He felt very surprised at the fact that he now had wings, but at the moment his body movements had become mechanical.
The wings spread (much to the other six conscious children's astonishment) and he was not on the ground any longer, but up in the air.
And the wings were glowing, and Tai felt the energy flowing through his every nerve, building and becoming ready for a way to stop Creed once and for all.
But then a familiar voice shrieked: "make a move and the little psychic here gets it!"
Mazu had entered the room and was holding the still unconscious TK tightly, fangs bared.
Tai quickly folded the wings back down and he dropped to the floor. He was a little relieved when the wings had actually folded out of sight, back into his back.
"Excellent timing, Mazu. I think our guests will enjoy a nice long stay," Creed shakily stated.
Mazu smiled and suddenly sank her fangs into TK's arm. She felt delight as the venom pumped into the young boy.
"No! TK!" Matt cried, trying to race over to his brother to free him.
But Mazu had already finished and cast the now poisoned TK away from her.
"He won't be of any trouble to you, Master," Mazu muttered.
Cin appeared back in the prison and before they knew what was happening she had placed them back in the now locked cell...
