A/N: Sorry guys! Work and other things kept me from releasing the 2nd chapter! But, here we are, hopefully you're all still there.. I hope.
The twilight scene set fire to the sky. Strips of red and pink littered the sky in a beautiful mixture of paint. It looked like a dog's breakfast, but in a beautiful way. The city of Tera'Blay now almost completely silent as the curfew went into effect and guards bullied people back to their homes. All but one such high school that was let open for the graduations. However that story is for a little later on. Cole began his descent.
Cole raced across the small valley of land ahead of the tree-line, jumping over a stray log and crushed car. Kuo and Raven at his flank as he climbed the crumbling wall of Tera'Blay, flipping over the front and scanning the area over for guards.
" Quick, clean, quiet." Cole spoke, his voice ripping across the sky like a sharp wind.
"There!" Kuo remarked as she fired a large ice chunk, impaling a passing guard in the chest. Killing him instantly.
The three ran across the walk picking off guard by guard. Not a single bullet fired.
"This is too easy! Why Canada? Why not Russia! That was -way- more fun then this city!" Raven complained as she tore out the insides of a helpless, unsuspecting guard.
"Yes! I'm sure the CONDUIT hunter would be way more fun then this. Or do you need another bullet to take a hint?" Kuo shot back, venom in her words.
Raven rubbed a scar across the left side of her cheek, obviously a bullet mark that had grazed her skin. "Don't talk about him in my presence you bitch! If it wasn't for me you'd be two pieces back in Sweden!" Raven stomped her foot, almost yelling.
"Both of you! Shut-" Cole stumbled back in pain as he grasped his shoulder. He grinded his teeth as power began to emit from his whole body.
Just a few meters away was a guard. Clearly scared out of his mind as he trembled with sweat dripping off of his nose. He had saw the whole scene of guards being ripped apart, he opened his mouth as if to speak but nothing came out. He stood there speechless, it was a wonder he could even gather the strength to fire the bullet at Cole. Kuo and Raven both looked up at him simultaneously and gave a glare. The guard let out a scream and began to fire his gun like a mad-man, most of his bullets missing, though it did alert most of the guards.
Guards rushed to their position as bullets began to flare the wall into a war-zone. No one was really sure what they were firing at yet they were firing bullets like no tomorrow. Cole fired several quick shots of lightning while being as precise and silent as possible. Picking off the more heavily armed guards and taking cover when needed. Kuo wasted no time in freezing all armed guards around him and firing herself forwards, pinning the first initial guard to the floor. She readied a large ice spike to be fired between his eyes, the fear in his eyes begged her to spare him. The spike fell to the floor and shattered violently! Her hand had been grabbed and stopped her flow of energy that she had filtering her powers. No guard would dare approach her without firing a flurry of bullets into her flesh- So who had dared? It was Raven. Raven managed to throw Kuo backwards with great force, letting her slide across the floor gently.
"Wh-what are you doing?" Kuo asked as she got to her feet.
Raven punched the guard out cold, possibly breaking his nose. Cole finished off the remaining guards with various flurries of lightning and fire.
"So much for a stealthy approach." Cole growled.
"A conduit." Raven remarked as she ran her finger across the passed out guard. " A weak one.. But, a conduit non the less."
Cole looked out over the city, sheer hatred in his eyes. " Let's give these guys a little wake up call." He laughed out as he grabbed the man's head.
Alarms perked up all over the city as guards began screaming orders at each other and lights of various buildings flickered on, shadows of families looking out the windows.
Cole focused his power onto the man, memories of both his and the guard's flowed through him as pure power began to emit from them both. Raven and Kuo zipped off in a quick panic. Everything mustered up inside of Cole; Anger, Sorrow, hatred.. Then something odd.. Regret? Cole's focus was thrown off as the screams of dying throughout the world seemed to all scream out at once. The screams got louder until it turned to pain- Cole himself yelled out in pain. Then he let go.
A huge surge of energy explode across the wall of Tera'Blay. Screams of agony and fear filled the city as guards themselves began to retreat away. Fire ripping across the sky as electrical storms seemed to pop up almost instantaneously. The screams of panic emerging from the city grew almost ten-fold. The city lost power almost immediately as the power surge ended, district my district. Pitch black.
Cole fell to his knees before a large hole in the wall and falling rubble crackled before him. The conduit he was supposed to activate was no where in sight- just a strayed pile of ash. Kuo zipped on next to him with a concerned look on her face.
"Are you.. Are you okay?" She asked as she scanned over the rubble for the supposed conduit.
"Something went wrong.. " Cole said groggily as he leaned up.
"Where is the guard? Is he-"
" Gone." Raven smirked to herself as she landed next to Kuo.
"It won't happen again.. I need to lay down. Raven, take a group of hunters and round up as many Conduits as you can find. Bring them back to me- I'll be at the camp. " Cole barely managed out as he limped off. Trying not to show weakness, But Cole knew it. He had slipped up, his emotions got in the way of what he was supposed to do. He didn't know why or how, it just happened. He grunted to himself- Feeling powerless due to the lack of electricity in the area. Cole managed his way down the wall and off into the woods.
As for me? Well, Imagine this. Taking that glorious little piece of paper and accepting my diploma in front of my loving parents and family. Flanked by my friends. All with looks of happiness and approval, Love and affection. Possibly the greatest moment of my life in this hell-hole we call a city. Now picture the entire building shaking as the foundation of the place cracked free! Fire ripping throughout the sky and blowing our windows clear off the shatters. People screaming and crying! Lightning striking all around us outside. If that weren't enough, guards firing in the air in complete panic didn't help much with our public safety. Parents rushing to save kids, people crushed by falling debris from the building itself.
It all came to a quick and easy, calm stop. People came out of hiding and looked around. The power went out- BOOM! Pitch black. Just like that. But, that is where our story really begins. When I become activated.
A/n: Sorry so short! I tried to edit out the bugs and typos. Be as harsh as you want! Please! More to come, short chapter to show that I'm back ;3.
