The Crow: Second coming chapter 5
Eric stood before the thugs in his stance and looked confident in his ability. The thugs looked as thugs should unconfident of their abilities to fight or bring harm to anyone with enough physical strength to resist them. The thugs looked at one another not quite knowing what to do about this new found threat.
"Should we kill him?" Muttered one of the head thuggish types. With that decided all of the thugs pulled out guns, knives and any other bludgeoning or otherwise harmful weapon they could get their hands on. They all surrounded Eric and began to circle him holding their weapons towards him or patting them in the palm of their hands in an attempt to look somewhat menacing.
Eric looked confident still and had a glint of hope in his eye that one of these good for nothings would lunge at him or throw something, almost anything to give him an excuse to harm or other wise cause pain to them, Eric had no worries of police or arrest due to his ghostly form and the fact that he is not amongst the living. Eric was also so annoyed, so angry, so distressed to know what these people had subjected Sarah to that he would not think twice before sending those responsible to the almighty beyond, he would kill them in the most brutal way possible if only to make them feel the pain that they have bought Sarah to feel.
Eric finally got his wish and one of the thugs swung at him with a wrench he had found on the pool table, Eric snapped backwards easily avoiding the blow and then popped back up to lay into the thug. He smashed him with his fists and delivered a devastating knee to his face, shattering his nose and spewing blood across the floor. Eric then kicked the thug in the mid section and he went flying backwards and smashed through one of the windows cutting his flesh like it was paper. He fell several stories before his life was ended on the concrete floor below the building, he hit the floor with such force cracks were made in the pavement, blood spewed over the floor from his head and his life slipped away into nothing.
The second thug and some of his fellow crooks joined in now and attempted to fire guns or throw objects at Eric, the bullets went into him and left holes but Eric felt no pain, the objects were dodged and punched back at the thugs causing bruises and ache. Then Eric grew tired of the slow fight and threw countless punches, kicks, elbows and knees until only the head thug remained standing and breathing. He shot Eric between the eys with his gun, a nice shot for a thug Eric still felt nothing and laughed as the bullet fell from his head dented in every way possible. The thug stumbles backwards looking shocked almost as if he had seen a ghost, he wasn't far wrong.
The thug could not bring himself to throw punches or fire at Eric after that, and Eric thought it cruel to kill he who could not harm him. Unfortunately for the thug he had harmed Sarah the most and would bare the punishment of all of the Crows hate. Eric closed his eyes began to concentrate and pulled his fist back, he let his punch go with an almighty battle cry and smashed it into the thugs head. The punch bared so much power the thugs head and very skull were split and shattered into the wall behind him, his limp body dropped to the floor and blood began to seep rather rapidly and create a puddle on the floor by Eric's feet.
Eric then released Sarah and hugged her, "Are you ok?" he said in a concerned toned voice. "Yes, I'm fine thanks to you" Eric then walked over to the window and stared at the graveyard he could see in the distance. "I'm glad your ok Sarah, I couldn't stand and watch as those guys did god knows what to you up here". "Does this mean your back for good Eric" Enquired Sarah. "No I was only back to fix those guys and keep you safe as for now I must be returning, always remember Sarah believe in angels and every year on the anniversary of my death look to the moon I shall be waiting" With that Eric vanished into the dark leaving Sarah to return to her home unhurt thanks to the midnight marauder. "But wait when will you return?" There was no reply and all fell silent.
