Family Issues 5
The latest Wu, the Rolling Dawn, was one of the few that caught Chase's attention. It increased the time time that spells lasted. He had heard it was an almost insignificant amount of time, though. A few days at most. But with dragons so scarce, he was willing to test it. So he had followed Wuya to Paris, a city he hadn't seen in a few hundred years. The streets were clean, and there were almost no beggars around, which was a surprising change. Yet, it still had the same feeling of years past, despite the new glass buildings all around. Paris would always be Paris, it seemed. When you were immortal, time passed differently, changing everything around you so much, that finding something that stayed the same was a pleasant surprise.
"I found it!" shouted Wuya, pointing at a gargoyle on top of a building. It held a golden talisman in its open jaws. From the south, Chase could feel a dragon's presence approaching. He jumped up the building, holding on to any edge, and using his claws when there was none. He had already reached the top when Dojo came down among the clouds.
Kimiko jumped down from Dojo's back, accelerating her fall, and shooting a fireball at the gargoyle just when Chase had been about to grab it. he roared as the talisman fell among bits of stone from the broken gargoyle.
"Chase Young! We are here to stop you!" shouted Omi as he and the others jumped from Dojo's back. Chase smirked and jumped down the building to search for the wu. His fall was met with fireballs as Kimiko tried her best to stop him. Raimundo took out the sword of the storm and used the wind to draw kimiko's fireballs into a fire tornado around Chase.
The warlord smirked. They had all become much better than he had expected.
But not good enough.
He punched the ground at the center of the tornado, throwing Kimiko off balance and making a gash in the firewall to jump through and kick her. Surprised right out of his focus it took only a jump and a punch to get Raimundo out of the crashed into the building to his left leaving a hole and a rain of debris behind him.
All around, the screams of the terrified commoners surrounded them in a beautiful cacophony of terror, and he delighted at them.
Until he recognized one. A long screeching like that of a little girl.
"Spicer...," he muttered, looking behind him to where the street opened into a large avenue, and saw a head of long, bright red hair. And the skin, almost white.
But that was a woman.
A couple men in dark suits with guns rushed to cover here while more of them appeared on top of all the buildings around them.
Chase looked at the woman again, seeing her struggle to get up from the ground, and caught a sight of her face.
Red eyes.
Chase Young didn't believe in coincidences, so he put a tracking spell on her before she was rushed into a black car. By the time he looked behind, Omi had already taken hold of the Shen Gon Wu. It seemed like Spicer managed to ruin everything without even being present. Just his existence proved disastrous for all who had to deal with him.
Chase lifted an eyebrow at Omi, who seemed at a loss for words for once.
"You have all gotten much better," he purred. "I will be seeing you all again soon."
And disappeared without even waiting to see what had happened to Wuya.
