Chapter 13: Healing Light
Static and Gear raced through the hallways, finding everyone they could in the frightening caos... Some students were beginning to liquify because of the gases high concentration, while others were beginning to go through excruciating mutations... Frieda was found by Static, writhing on the floor as what looked like dragon wings began to sprout from her back, as well as sharp needle like claws and fangs... Daisy was beginning to mutated as well... Sprouting cat ears and a feline tail as well as claws and black fur all over her body... Her eyes were glowing an eerie white...
" Damn it!" Static cursed angrily, " Who would set up something like this?!"
" I don't know... But we've got to get them out in the fresh air to try and stop the mutations! Fast!" Gear said as they continued to fly people out of the school...
By the time they got everyone outside, the damage had already been done... The mutations we're horrifying, most of the students were bleeding badly from where the gas had melted thier skin and some students had actually fuzed together due to they're close proximity! There were several students mutating into batlike creatures, while others were transformed into snakes and spiders! Still hundreds more we're transforming into different animals, but each had a frightening ability... Some could breathe fire and toxic fumes, some had a type of siren quality to their voice... Some could control water, or earth... It was pure caos! The police arrived on the scene a short time later and were filled with terror... Officer Trina was the first to arrive on the scene...
" Static! What the hell happened here?!" Officer Trina asked frantically as she began trying to calm the students in the midst of thier painful transformations...
" I don't know! We were patrolling overhead and noticed the bang baby gas leaking from the school!" Static told her, " A girl named Serena is still inside! We couldn't find her!"
Officer Trina got on her walkie talkies and called dispatch immediately.
" I need ambulances and hasmat teams here at Dekota Union High pronto! Deadly amounts of the toxic bang baby gas has been set off inside the school! Several students showing high levels of toxicity and experiencing painful mutations!" Officer Trina said loudly.
Only a few moments later, sirens were heard blaring deafening down the street along with poison control and the hazmat units... Unfortunately, the blaring sirens caught the attention of channel twelve news and within a half hour of trying to control the situation, the entire school was swarming with reporters... Most were sympathetic to the situation as well as the victims, but the young haughty Teaya Remerez was only interested in a juicy story...
" What a terrible tragic turn of events!" Teaya said in mock sadness, " Hundreds of students lay twisting and turning in pain and agony as, one by one, they each go through terrible mutations... The screams in the background are the very escence that nightmares are made of!"
" Be quiet!" Officer Trina shouted angrily at the heartless reporter, " These are innocent children who are scared enough as it is! Your big mouth isn't helping anything!"
Teaya snorted at officer Trina and started to go back into her own speech again, when suddenly a brilliant blinding silver light flashed, temporarily blinding all in the vicinity... When the light faded, a figure could be seen gracefully ascending the stairs of the school, the purple gas still swirled eerily as the wind began to blow gently, but instantly receded as it swirled to close to the white clad figure... Berretts of silver crystals addorning her blond hair and a crescent moon gracing her forehead, Serena glided gracefully towards the poor souls that were writhing in pain... Gone was the seafoam green outfit she'd worn only a few moments ago, now she wore a glittering white silk gown that, while extraordinary and beautiful, the gown was quite literally out of this world... Her eyes were a lighter blue, as if in a deep state of trance, and her entire body glowed with an ethereal light...
Her beauty left all breathless as she continued to glide gracefully around Dekota Union High, a sad look evedent on her lovely face... Once she got to the middle of the students laying on the ground, Static and Gear, along with everyone else that wasn't in pain, watched in awe as Serena raised her hands and began to levetate high into the air, her silver aura soothing and pulsating around her in warm waves... The air began to charge, a warm soothing energy began to shimmer from Serena as she opened her eyes and smiled. Though they were still glazed over, the people on the ground could see that something was making g her happy... Serena began to spin slowly as she continued to rise into the sky as her aura flaired brighter and brighter until...
" Moon Healing! Activation!" Serena's melodic voice rang out, bring with it, a glittering shower of healing light...
As the Sparks rained down on the students, aside from Static and Gear, and one by one, they began to glow silver and began changing back! About this time, Hotstreak and his crew had arrived on the scene after Hotstreak had informed them of the e I'll looking woman that he'd spoken to earlier and quickly made thier way to the school...
Upon seeing Serena up in the air, surrounded in healing silver light, the stunningly beautiful sight left Hotstreak completely speechless as he and the rest of his friends, the news people, the police precent, and the hospital and hazmat staff, continued to watch the miracle taking place before them... One by one, Serena's healing light healed every student of the painful mutations and they were each healed back to normal... Then, when the last students was healed, Serena's light faded... And she began falling back towards the cold hard ground...
