Roxton pulled off his hat, wiping his brow. "Damn! What is that kid doing now!?"
Veronica shook her head, "I don't know….But we should be ready just in case."
"No….Kidding" The voice came from behind. She turned, and her face broke into a smile. "Ned! Your awake!" She ran at him, throwing her arms around his neck. "I'm so glad! For a moment, I thought…."
Ned smiled, "Wow…If I get this kind of welcome, I'll get injured more often!"
She pulled back, gently punching his wound, "Next time, I'll be the one to give it to ya. You had me worried, Ned!"
Roxton interrupted the two, "Sorry, but can we do this later!? We have a big problem to deal with!"
Veronica nodded, and squeezed Ned's hand. She walked back to the porch, with Ned looking over her shoulder. "Is that….Cirrus?" He asked.
Challenger nodded, "Maybe the last we'll see of him…..If he can't do what he did before."
Veronica nodded, whispering under her breath, "Cirrus……."
Taking a deep breath, he walked towards the T-Rex. The raptors snarled and snapped, yet they did not attack. Nether did the T-Rex, it just raised his head, staring at him. Crimson eye to brown eye, never blinking, just constantly staring. Cirrus took another deep breath, as the T-Rex slowly opened its jaws. It seemed to question its own motives, then closed its mouth with a wet smack. It looked at a raptor, the raptor looked back. It snarled once, and focused its vision on Cirrus.
With a high pitched roar, the raptor sped at Cirrus. Claws moving in a blinding blur, as the lizard leapt high into the air. Neck arched back, exposing rows of sharp white teeth. Claws ridged, ready to rip and tear into the human's soft flesh.
Cirrus raised his right hand, his eyes narrowed as a bright beam shot out of his palm. Slamming the flying dinosaur into the ground. The moaning lizard struggled to righted itself, but was eternally silenced by a another blast of light.
Cirrus turned away from the still smoldering reptile, and saw another raptor charging forward. This one, just like its brethren, was extinguished the light. Though, it only took one blast, until the lizard was vaporized in mid flight. Cirrus smiled, and his vision locked on the last one. Cirrus brought his hands together, compacting kinetic energy, sending ripples through the air. The raptor charged in desperation, but the unstable energy spoke in a deadly response. It only took one blast of the blue lightening, to burst the charging killing machine like an overripe tomato.
Challenger sucked in a deep breath, "Its different than last time. As if he was grown stronger….."
Roxton and Marguerite watched in grim silence, as each one of the raptors was sent packing to the gates of hell. Even Ned, who constantly records evens in his notebook, just watched, the images of suffering of the raptors engraved eternally in his mind.
Cirrus now turned his attention to the massive T-Rex. His eyes flashed with a small light. "Hey…Rexy….Ready to die?"
Cirrus laughed loudly, striking the dinosaur with a shimmering beam. The lizard buckled under the fierce onslaught. But, rose up snarling and snapping. Roaring a deafening challenge at the human.
Cirrus took a step back, "Oh man….This is not good!" He struck out again, the dinosaur just shook its head at the pain. It's eyes flashed with red light, and it roared again.
Veronica called down, "Cirrus! Stop playing with that thing….And kill it!"
Cirrus called back, "I'm trying….But, its too damn strong!"
Challenger called down, "Try harder! Is there anything that you can use?!"
Cirrus shook his head, he knew that there was nothing that he could do. He looked up at the T-Rex. It still hadn't attacked……. "Damn you….DAMN YOU!" His mind screamed at the dinosaur. He was powerless, and any moment, that big lumbering lummox was going to rip his friends to pieces!
Anger….begun to flow full and thick into his veins. His mind replayed evens…..Events of Veronica upset by his first use of his power. Ned's first suspicion of him. Marguerite's refusal to allow him into daily evens. Even Challenger, who Cirrus though as a friend, had caused his rebirth into this world. His mind focused on one even….. When Veronica had wrapped her arms around Ned….. The look in her eyes, and the sound of her voice.
His face lit up in a sneer, as the memories built on each other. "What is it all For? Why….Do I SUFFER!?" He yelled out, holding his hands to his face. His voice ripping from his thought, in an animal cry of anguish and pain. "All these foolish Mortals!"
His eyes lit up, the iris of his normal brown, blocked out by the twin blazing pyres poring forth from his sockets. "All The pain…The suffering…." His voice ripped over the trees. He yelled again, as the ground beneath him shattered. As a large wave of bright light burst beneath him. The light cascaded around, throwing whole trees to the floor, shattering branches, ripping large roots from the ground. Hell had broken forth unrestrained from the dams.
Veronica thew herself to the floor, the team was knocked flat on their backs. The immense energy waves blew around large chunks of soil, rock and shattered treelimbs. Even the charred body of the raptor, was cast asunder like a ragdoll in the destructive winds.
Challenger yelled out in the winds, "What's…Happening?"
Roxton called back, "Did this happen last time?"
Veronica shook her head, "NO! Something's wrong!"
Marguerite nodded, "I could have figured that out by now!"
Ned held his head, as the winds begun to intensify. He looked up, and saw Cirrus levitating off the ground .His body lit up with white flames of energy. His eyes burned with an uncontrolled energy. Even his hair, seemed changed by the energies. His normal short brown hair, was bleached to a stark white.
The T-Rex snarled and snapped in the energies. It took a running start at the berserk Cirrus. Cirrus laughed loudly, hitting the T-Rex with a wall of white energy. The T-Rex slammed hard on its back, rolling onto its stomach. Cirrus saw his chance, and took it.
"Die….YOU BASTARD!" His body burst into white flames, the clothes he wore vaporized by the intense energy. A huge surge of energy shook his frame, millions upon millions of particles of light, begun to combine and grow. It grew…..It combined into one giant mass of energy. Cirrus yelled loudly, and struck the giant ball with one of his free hands. The ball of massively intense light, burst forth from its shell like casing, rushing forth like a giant blast of light. The T-Rex turned its head, before being consumed by the mad rush of energy.
Cirrus could hear the short yell the rex gave, before it was consumed by the destructive force that was Cirrus. The wave of energy slammed full force into the jungle, burrowing a long and charred trench. More than five miles long, vaporizing all in its path, even the giant mountains to the north, shook when the blast struck the ground.
The light subsided, and slowly disappeared. Objects that were held in the air, came crashing to the ground. Cirrus himself, fell to the ground, landing hard on his back. The maelstrom of light, disappeared, leaving the jungle. Cirrus laid on his back, his clothes gone, his body covered in sweat. He breathing begun to slow, and his eyes fluttered…… He struggled…But gave in to the unrelenting grasp of unconcinous.
Veronica was the first one to make her way to the jungle floor. Challenger and Roxton were soon to follow. Marguerite would take Ned back into the living quarters to remain safe. Challenger looked around at the destruction. Trees laid toppled, the ground was ripped up and torn. Dead dinosaurs laid strewn about, with a giant skeleton laying on its side. Sill smoking and smoldering.
"My God…." Veronica whispered, she took a step forward, then noticed a naked figure on the ground. "Challenger!" She called out, running towards the figure.
The group followed behind, finding Cirrus. Veronica knelt down next to him, putting her head next to his nose. "He's still breathing!"
Challenger knelt down, "Let's get him inside."
Roxton and Challenger lifted up the damaged Cirrus, Veronica supported his head, speaking softy to him. "You'll be alright…Cirrus. Just hold on!"
Cirrus made no response, as they brought him back into the treehouse.
