Broken Seals

Ch 2: Clash of Elements

Wyatt looked around the airport; he knew that no one would be waiting here for him since he hasn't talked to any of his family over the years. Wyatt slowly started to walk towards the exit to call a taxi, when he felt someone looking at him. Wyatt turned around to see a man dressed in ripped jeans and a tight grey shirt staring at him.

Wyatt watched the man for a while before turning and continuing on his way. He didn't know who the man was, but he had given him a feeling of dread. Wyatt was just at the exit when he saw a red inverted pentagram appear on the window. Wyatt threw himself to the floor just in time to dodge a lightning bolt that would have hit him on the head. Wyatt stood up and tried to find his attacker through the panicking crowd.

Wyatt threw up his shield just in time to block another lightning bolt. He turned to see the man standing on top of a bench. Wyatt threw out his hand and sent an energy bolt at the man. The man jumped and threw a few energy balls at Wyatt. Wyatt flew into the air to dodge them. Wyatt looked down to see that most of the people had left the building but a few where lying on the ground not moving.

Wyatt looked back up to find that he had lost his attacker once again. Wyatt looked around desperately to find him, letting out a scream of pain as he was hit with a lightning bolt in the shoulder. Wyatt fell to the floor breaking a bench that he had fallen on. He watched as the man advanced on him with electricity sparking at his fingertips. Wyatt was trying to gain enough energy to throw up his shield when the man was thrown through the air by a violent gust of wind.

Wyatt looked to the side and saw a young man standing there. He had black hair, with a pale complexion. He wore baggy jeans and a rock band shirt. The teenager shook his head and said "You should know better than fighting out in the open Wyatt."

The young man touched his chest and a glowing pentagram appeared on his chest. The glow increased in strength until the whole building was bathed in light. When the light faded all the people that had been lying on the floor had disappeared and all sounds had disappeared. Wyatt was about to ask who he was when a lightning bolt met a solid wall of wind. The man had reappeared and was facing the young man.

"It's rude to fight a person without introducing oneself," the young man said. "I am Henry Halliwell at your service." He finished this by sending a gust of wind that was so sharp that it sliced through the marble of the wall that the man was standing in front of a few seconds before. The man landed a few feet away and smiled at Henry and said "My name is Steve Grey, nice to make your acquaintance Halliwell."

Henry and Steve raised their hands and threw wind and lightning at each other. The two forces met with such strength that it caused an explosion that left destruction in its wake.

Henry laughed and said "Your lighting is pretty impressive Steve." Throwing another round of sharp wind at him. Steve dodged it and sent a bolt of lightning that Henry also dodged.

"Your wind isn't that bad either." Steve said with his own smile. Henry sent out a barrage of wind and was able to cut Steve in his arm; Steve grabbed his arm. Seeing Wyatt getting up he said "Ok, you won this battle but I'll be back." He raised his hand and a storm of lightning fell from the sky. Wyatt raised his shield at the same time as Henry created his own wind shield. When the storm ended Steve had disappeared.

"That was fun." Henry said as he turned to look at Wyatt and said "For being the Seal of Power you're not very impressive."

"What the hell is going on? Seal of Power?" Wyatt said looking at his cousin. Henry gave him an impatient look and touched the pentagram on his chest. The pentagram faded away and the airport appeared as it did before the pentagram had appeared.

"You would know what's going on if you had actually talked to us over the years." Henry said giving him an angry look. Wyatt lowered his eyes to the ground and said nothing. What could he say? They had every right to be mad at him. He had abandoned his family and left behind his responsibilities.

Henry sighed and said "Come on Aunt Phoebe is waiting for us." Wyatt slowly followed his cousin out trying to ignore the people on the floor being helped by paramedics.

Chris was wiping down the bar at P3 when he felt a force approaching behind him. Chris didn't turn around just raised his hand to lightly touch his chest. A bright blue pentagram appeared and filled the bar. When everyone had faded away he turned around to see a woman dressed like she was going to a wedding standing in front of him.

"What can I do for you?" Chris asked.

"I'll have a rum and coke." The lady said as she sat down on a stool. Chris started fixing her drink. The woman stared at him. Chris finished and put the drink in front of her.

"You know I came here to kill you, right?" The woman said.

"You are one of the seven archangels, I wouldn't expect anything less." Chris put away the rum bottle and said "Though to tell you the truth I don't really give a damn if the world ends."

"One of the Seven Seals not caring about the world that's a shock." The woman said. As she finished her drink. She stood up and said "So are we going to start this?"

Chris smiled and said "We already have." The room turned into a house of mirrors. The woman looked around desperately for Chris.

"Nice parlor trick." The woman said as she threw fire at one of the mirrors shattering it. All the mirrors suddenly had a demonic image of Chris on them. Some showed Chris as monsters, others showed him as an angel. They all started laughing and his voice filled the air "Who says this is a trick?" The woman started firing at random mirrors. She was so busy that she didn't notice huge pieces of glass starting to float into the air. When the woman's back was turned the pieces embedded themselves into her back.

Chris fixed himself a shot of whiskey as the woman fell of her stool with wounds that had appeared out of nowhere. Chris finished his shot and said "That was hardly worth putting up my shield." Chris touched his pentagram and the people reappeared. Chris watched as people swarmed around the fallen woman. Chris really should have killed her but Chris couldn't kill something so pathetic. There was only one person in the world that he wanted to kill more than anything and she wasn't him.

Chris said goodbye to his manager and went out of the club. If this was really the end of the world he hopped it would get a little more exciting.
