A few moments after Emily disappeared around the corner, Shalimar and Jesse heard a scream come from that direction.

"Let's go!" Jesse said as he took off toward the corner. He glanced over his shoulder to see that Shalimar wasn't behind him, but as he looked up he saw a flash of blonde hair up on the roof above. As he turned the corner into an alleyway, he immediately spotted Emily, but she wasn't alone. She was surrounded by what looked like several of Eckhart's men. Lifting his hand to his mouth, he whispered into his comlink, saying,

"Brennan, Emma, we've found Emily, but she's currently surrounded by quite a few of Eckhart's men. Shalimar and I are going to try to take them out, but we could use some backup."

"Ok Jesse, we're on our way," he heard Emma reply.

With that, Jesse crept further down the alleyway and hid behind several trash cans. He waited until he finally saw Shalimar on the roof above Eckhart's men, but just as he was about to jump out from behind the trash cans, he saw Emily lift her hand and then one of Eckhart's men flew backwards into a wall. As he landed the wrong way, the sickening sound of his neck snapping echoed throughout the alleyway.

Shalimar looked down at Jesse with a surprised expression on her face. It was at that moment that the rest of the men went after Emily, but before they could reach her, Shalimar jumped down in front of her. With a quick roundhouse kick, she took down two more of the men. Jesse quickly joined in on the fighting as well.

Shalimar and Jesse seemed to be getting the upper hand, but occupied with several men each, neither of them saw two men get by them and go after Emily.

As they approached her, Emily could feel the fear welling up inside her, but there was something else there too. She could feel her power building as well. Just as one of them reached her, she lifted her hand, and thermal energy shot forth, immediately catching the man on fire.

Shalimar and Jesse stopped fighting at the sound of the man's bloodcurdling scream. Momentarily turning around, they saw the man fall to the ground, dead. There was nothing left of him except charred remains.

Quickly Shalimar finished off the men she was fighting and turned toward the rage driven man who had just witnessed his friend being burnt to a crisp.

Picking up a large piece of wood, the man brandished it menacingly and then advanced toward Emily.

Seeing this, Shalimar took off in her direction.

Just as he was about to reach her, Emily once again lifted her hand and with a sudden rush of adrenaline, she sent the man flying into the same wall she sent the first guy, but it wasn't just him she sent flying.

Shalimar suddenly felt herself being lifted off the ground and with the power of a truck, she was sent flying backwards into a wall. Dropping hard to the ground, she immediately felt an immense burning pain in her shoulder and side. Looking down, she saw she had been impaled by large pieces of splintered wood in both areas. She tried to get up, but as she moved the burning pain became very intense and she decided that it would be best if she stayed still. Suddenly she heard moaning come from beside her. Looking over, she saw the man, that had been sent flying into the wall with her, wake up.

As he opened his eyes, he instantly noticed that Shalimar was lying beside him. Standing up, he gave her an evil smile that made Shalimar feel sick to her stomach. After he quickly glanced around checking that Jesse still had his hands full with a couple of other men, he gave Shalimar several swift kicks in her injured side, making her cry out in pain. As he kicked her again and again, Shalimar felt her ribs snap under the pressure. Just as he pulled his leg back to deliver yet another agonizing blow, he was suddenly hit by bolts of electricity coming from two different directions. Looking up, Shalimar saw Brennan and Emma running towards her. Then as she turned her head in the opposite direction, she saw Emily standing there with her hand raised as sparks of electricity jumped from finger to finger before finally disappearing. It was at that moment that she was enveloped by the sweet blackness of unconsciousness.
