Chapter Twenty Eight: Take My Leave

Dozens of sniper lights danced around Jamie and his friends…like it or not, they were surrounded by dozens of trigger happy Tekken Force; it didn't matter whether Jamie had powers or not, he may have been fast, but certainly not fast enough to dodge point blank bullets!

He needed to formulate a plan quickly…he was on enough borrowed time. The Tekken Force was waiting for Lee's word. Through terror stricken blue eyes Jamie watched Lee…the world seemed to stand still as Lee stood there.

He smiled sadistically before raising his hand dramatically.

"I think we've let you all live long enough, kill them."

"NO!" Jamie screamed.

It was more of a reflective response then anything else…the guns were raised…

Not gonna-

Suddenly, the doors to Lee's porch doors swung open…and in that moment, Jamie Parker was never happier to see Julia, Christie and Kaori…but where was Mina?

"Jamie, Mina's-" Kaori began.

The distraction was as timely as it was lucky; with the Tekken Force's attention temporarily diverted, Jamie acted…he only needed a second.

Quickly, he leapt into action and grabbed at the closest Tekken Force member in the little group that surrounded him. Using centripetal force, he flung his victim into the crowd knocking them over.

Hwoarang and Jin were locked deep in a battle with over a dozen of Lee's personal army, while Steve and Kyo were battling their own group in the corner. The girl's had taken over fighting the group of Tekken Force who had once aimed their sites on Jamie.

With a temporarily incapacitated group of Tekken Force Jamie quickly dashed ahead…he used his Nephilim speed to dodge bullets and grabbed at the first thing he could find…a flag pole.

He needed to get to his friend's aid immediately which was a noble goal but the only problem with that was that there were two throngs of Tekken Force between them.

Still…he had to try.

Jamie was no gymnast, but with Nephilim powers maybe this would work.

He jumped in the air and grabbed the flag pole. Using it as a parallel bar he swung on it for about three spins. Momentarily, the fighting stopped as both his friends and enemies watched him.

"GET HIM!" Lee screamed.

They raised their rifles and fired but Jamie quickly leapt from the pole and landed next to Kyo and Steve.

"Whoa," Steve said as Jamie landed.

"That was cool; is there anything you can't do?" Kyo asked.

"You're impressed? I sure am too!" Jamie said with a grin as he blocked an attack, and punched the enemy in the face.

Jamie punched and kicked, jumped and ducked, but they kept coming.

Wish I had a weapon…all I've got with me is a bottle of holy water, and that's not gonna do anything here!

The Tekken Force was dwindling…there may have been a lot of them, but they weren't incredibly stellar fighters. Jamie looked behind him and noticed that their ranks were dwindling, and now would be a perfect time to-

Suddenly, above him, the sound of shattering glass filled the air…and a piercing scream followed. Jamie looked up to see Mina flying through the sky…vampires followed her. They were a couple of inches above her, but in the pure sunlight, they had begun to burst into flames…and if they caught up to her…

Quickly, Jamie put visions of pummeling Lee out of his mind and focused on saving his girlfriend! He turned, reached into his pocket, and pulled out a vial of holy water.

The Nephilim uncorked the bottle and flung it into the pool…to anything unholy became a vat of concentrated acid…seconds later, Mina landed in the water followed by the vampires…who screamed and disintegrated upon impact.

Mina hit the water with a splash, and the chlorinated water slapped onto Jamie's bare feet. He glanced in Mina's direction, before turning his blue eyes towards Lee.

"What's it going to be Nephilim? The love of your life; or your sacred duty? Although neither will save you from a painful death by my father's hand." Lee snarled.

Without a word Jamie ran to the edge of the pool, where a shaken Mina began swimming towards him.

"Looks like you lose uncle!" Jin said with contempt.

"All of your lame ass armie's been leveled." Hwoarang added.

"And it's one of you and a bunch of us." Steve replied.

Lee looked as if he still wanted to fight…but he knew that the odds were against him. Angrily, he broke into a run and leapt over one of the walls and into the forest below.

Meanwhile, Jamie helped Mina out of the pool.

"You okay?" He smiled.

She gave him a tired grin but nodded. "I've been better."

"Should we go after him?" Kyo asked.

"I don't think that'd be wise…we might just want to cut our losses." Jin advised.

"Yeah," Kaori said. "But we got what we came for…the disk!"

To prove her point, Julia held it out to show everyone.

"This disk should tell us what this ritual's about Jamie…and what you and Grey have to do with it." Julia said.

"That's great…cuz I'm going to bring about the world's destruction…I at least want to know what I'm doing."

"Bummer about the party though…" Christie said looking at the unconscious bodies of Tekken Force, and overturned patio furniture.

"Yeah," Jamie agreed. "it was fun…phenomenal finger food…but I guess we give new meaning to the term party crashers."

Everyone laughed at Jamie's little comment. Jin said that they should head back to the hotel, and everyone agreed.

"Y'know though; on a scale of one to ten this trap was maybe about a four…I seriously thought Lee wouldn't have been so obvious." Mina mused.

"Oh he's not obvious, he just believes in fighting with class…good thing that I'm tactless white trash huh!" A voice called from behind.

Everyone turned in time to see Grey standing behind them with a Tekken Force semi automatic rifle…he grin and fired the weapon…he had aimed for Mina, but Jamie quickly pushed her down and jumped in the line of fire.

Suddenly, he felt an intense, burning pain shoot through his intestines…he felt as if his whole body had been set on fire as the searing metal of the bullet tore through his intestines.

"AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!" Jamie screamed as he landed to the ground.

He clutched at his stomach and felt warm, sticky fluid on his hand. The pain was intense…and he heard Grey laugh before exiting the same way Lee had…

"OH MY GOD!" Christie wailed.

"JAMIE….JAMIE!" Mina called.

And the last thing that Jamie saw was Julia's face. "We've gotta stop the bleeding…hold on Jamie…just please…hold on."

He felt himself being lifted up…and then, all was black…

Author's Note: Remember me? Sorry for the impossibly long update, but I've had tons of exams and tests, and lots of homework…I'm really sorry this is so short also, but I'm really trying my best. Anyway, I'll try to update quickly from now on.
