Chapter 28

Battalion upon Battalion. Legion upon legion. Man upon man. Mutant upon mutant. All headed, by Morgormir. A mass army marched towards the Central Plaza. Behind Morgormir stood Jem and Coral. Althea's troops were out in force. All the survivors from the at the base had joined the back legions. Morgormir stopped the troops suddenly on the outskirts of the Plaza.

"Something wrong?" Coral asked viciously.

"Yes, as a matter of fact!" Morgormir said. "I think we've been detected!"

"Well with the other half of your army across the globe, I'm not surprised!" came a familiar voice.

"YOU!!" Morgormir yelled, as Luca, followed by Jet, rode in on their flying horses, Luca's a bright white, Jet's jet black.

"Who else did you expect? Santa?" Jet smirked

"I'm sure Santa wouldn't be a continuous pain in the arse!" Morgormir snapped

"Don't speak to my team like that!" came David's voice, as he hovered in-between the two ladies. Jess and Fi flanked the three leaders.

"Do you really think that you and your team of adolescents can stop the might of 40 thousand troops?" he snarled

"Maybe, maybe not, but I know who can!" David said, as the British army appeared on the rooftops, armed and prepared.

"But their all humans," Morgormir explained, "only another mutant can kill a mutant!"

"I know, which is why the guns have an electrical barrier over the barrel, so actually, the bullets will go through my power!" David explained

"What the hell are you on about?" Jem asked sharply

"Oh, you'll see!" David smiled

"Enough games, I give you this proposition, surrender and none of you shall be killed!"

Suddenly, one of the mutants to Jem's left was hit by one of David's blasts. He burst into a blue flame, then disappeared, dead.

"We surrender!" Luca called "Come up here to collect our white flag!"

"So be it," growled Morgormir, turning to his troops, "CHARGE!!" he yelled. There was a roar from the baying troops, then hurried past Morgormir, Jem and Coral, and into the Plaza

Running full pelt through the streets, the minions were preceded by a host of terrified civilians, fleeing for their lives. Some were pounced on by the enemy, and brutally hacked and stabbed. Running to the end of a street, the turned off in two directions, David and four armed guards skidded in to form a line of defence for those who had escaped onto the side streets.

"OPEN FIRE!!!!" Yelled David, as the enemy troops advanced ever nearer.

A volley of bullets rattled from the rifles, hitting the minions with startling accuracy. In puffs of blue smoke, the minions died by the second.

On the edge of the Plaza, Morgormir looked to the sky. Dark clouds rumbled, and covered the mid-day sun. This was the work of a mutant. Hearing the cries of his falling army, he grunted;

"I'll sort this shit out myself!" he growled, drawing his knife, and charging into the Plaza. Jem and Coral looked at each other, not saying anything. They just smiled, and followed their leader.

David's eyes were cloudy, as he looked to the sky above. The thunder rumbled once more. Seething, his gaze turned back to his foes. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning hurtled down from the sky, striking David in the top of his Almost simultaneously, David unleashed this blast towards the oncoming hordes. Ripping through all the ranks, the minions writhed in agony, as the electricity engulfed them.

As they collapsed to the floor, the skies cleared once more, and a massive plume of smoke signalled the defeat of the first wave of Morgormir's war machine! As the smoke cleared, David glared, behind the mist, at a solitary figure. Morgormir had bared witness to his display of power. Glaring into David's eyes, he chuckled.

"But how many more can you kill?" he challenged, before a gust of wind, like that on Snowden, whisked him off, before the guards could shoot at him. Taking a moment to regain his strength, David relaxed. But his moment of quiet was shattered, as a sudden shock shattered the windows and other glass objects in the Plaza. Then, there was chaos!
