Hey people, I'm back with another. I know, I'm going too fast. I got nothing else to do and I got time, why not? So, what can I say:

1: Cheezel1993 has posted his newest story, Kingdom Come. Check it out!

2: Open to suggestions as usual.

3: Alternate Dimension and Unknown World has to be put on hold for now, I'm having writer's block with those two right now.

4: I will still be posting Secret Rings chapters but, those would take awhile until a new one is posted.

5: I'll be mostly focused with this story. If I continue at the pace I'm going right now, I might be onto the second game in a couple of weeks, just guessing.

All right, let's continue!

Chapter 8 : New Powers to the Arsenal

Normal POV

After Cole got the others, the group arrived at Zeke's roof. Of course, Zeke starts the conversation.

"Been looking into you new BFF, Moya."

"Find your magic eight-ball, did you?" Cole joked.

"She's real FBI. In fact, she's big time FBI. Highly decorated, the kind of person they send out when the shiola hits the fan and sprays all over everyone." Zeke explained.

"Thanks for the image." Sora sarcastically said to himself.

"About six months ago, she gets moved over to some new division called DEFENDER and the trail goes completely cold. Now one of my boys think she's working for DARPA." Zeke continued.

"You have boys?" Cole asked.

"I'm being serious here, guys. You gotta pay attention. DARPA is the mother lode of black ops crap - it's this secret pentagon group that doesn't answer to anybody. If she's in with those clowns, you better watch out, guys." Zeke finished.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. And Santa Claus shot JFK. Hey, where are those drinks?" Cole said.

After that day, the group got some rest, long enough to go into day 16 of the quarantine.

Cole's POV

I woke to get a call from Moya, telling me that the final substation in the Neon has been uploaded to the GPS. I got Sora and we head over there. While on the way, I got a call from Zeke.

"Hey, brother, you know what scares the hell out of me? The thought of the government getting their hands on the Ray Sphere." Zeke said.

"Didn't we already have this conversation?" I asked him.

"I know, I know, you got caught pissing in the wind, but think about this for a second. If that thing can dishes out super powers, what's to stop 'ole Uncle Sam from juicing up the entire military? Or the cops? We'd have no defenses against that." Zeke continued.

"Didn't know we needed any." Sora said over his phone.

"Shit, guys, open your eyes. Take a look around! You see any Red Cross? Any National Guard? I sure as hell don't. They lied about the whole thing on the bridge. They'll do whatever it takes to stay in power. You need to wake up guys. Before it's too late!" He then hung up.

We got to the location and entered the sewers. When we did, Moya had some intel for us.

"Got some intel for you. The leader of the Reapers is a woman named Sasha. No last name. Until a few months ago, she was a high ranking member of the First Sons. Spearheaded a lot of their research." She said.

"So you think she knows where John is?" I asked.

"There's no way of knowing. But even if she doesn't, you guys have to take her out: it's the only way we'll be able to get a handle on the plague. I'll let you know when I've locked down her location." She then hung up.

We continued through the sewers and rebooted the last generator.

(Sora and Cole gained: Precision Power)

After we exited the sewers, I got a surprise call from Trish.

"Cole, you there?"

"Trish?"

"A plane just dropped a crate of medical supplies and someone needs to protect it from the Reapers."

"And you want us to do it?"

"You and Sora are the only people I know with super powers. Besides, you owe me... all of us, for what you did. I'll be in touch when the crate is safe." She then hung up.

"Was that Trish?" Sora asked me.

"Yeah. She said she needs us to protect a medical crate from the Reapers." I answered.

"OK. I'll call the others."

Sora's POV

After the call for backup, we arrived at the crate's location.

"Here comes the party crashers..." Cole said.

Two Reapers are already at the crate, trying to open it.

"Why are they shooting it?" I asked.

"Don't know. I do question their intelligence." Cole commented.

We then used our new power to take down both Reapers with a headshot. We then jumped off the roof and ran over to the crate. That was when the others showed up.

"So, we have to protect this crate for how long?" Izura asked.

"Until Trish gets here. For now, we have to deal with the Reapers." Cole answered.

"Well, we have something to do for the time being." Gold said.

We then heard bullets coming our way, looking to the alleyway on the crate's right and seeing more Reapers.

"Oh, bring it." I said.

We then went on the offensive. Cole thrown two shock grenades, exploding to take out two Reapers. I then ran up to another one and used my chain, sparking with electricity and swung, hitting and electrocuting the Reaper at the same time. After two more swings, the Reaper was KOed. Fawn then used Ice Freeze in the alleyway in front of the crate on the suicidal Reapers. Then, a Reaper appeared on the roof with a mini turret, who was easily dispatched thanks to Krain's telekinesis. Then, more came from the alleyway on the crate's left.

"Yeah, bring it on." Cole said to himself.

Then suddenly, a truck with a turret on the back came, bullets were flying at us except when the bullets got close, they stopped.

"What the?" Gold said.

Then, the bullets flew back at the truck, raining on it like a storm, hitting the shooter and blowing the truck up.

"Hey."

A breeze picked up and formed into a figure that then subsided.

"Hey, Raze." I said.

He gave a quick nod and we heard another turret truck from the front alleyway.

"I got this!" I called out.

I then used Ice Launch to get on top of the roof over the truck and jumped with my right fist covered in a cold mist and I punched, having ice pillars come through the truck and making it explode. However before it did explode, I dashed my way to safety by becoming a mist.

(Sora learned: Ice Age and Ice Dash)

"Awesome!" Gold said.

Another truck came through the same alleyway, only to be stopped by the pillars. However, they weren't high enough to block the bullets but, thanks to Raze, he stopped the bullets from hitting us when we went for cover.

"Raze, hold off the bullets!" I called out to him.

He gave a quick nod in agreement and I sprinted out from cover, away from the crossfire. I then climbed up the roof over the truck again and jumped, equipping my Gigawatt Blades. They are now more like swords, handle and blade made of electricity. I landed behind the turret and took out the guy, swinging both of my blades in a cross slash. The blades disappeared and I sabotaged the turret by touching it, disarming it. I then climbed over the truck, landed a few feet in front of it and fired a Freeze Rocket, destroying it.

"Good job, Sora!" Fawn said.

I then walked over while the others (excluding Raze) got out of cover. That was when Trish and someone else showed up.

"Need any help moving that stuff?" Cole asked, walking over to Trish.

"We got it." She answered. "And Cole? Thanks for your help."

"This mean we're talking again?" Cole asked.

"We'll see." She said.

She then left with the guy carrying the crate.

"You are?" Cole asked Raze.

"Raze." Raze simply answered.

"Yeah. Raze, this is Cole, Fawn, Gold, Izura, and Krain." I said, pointing to who's who. "Anyways, what are you doing here?"

"I need help. I need to find Sasha. She and I have something to settle." He answered, crossing his arms.

Conveniently, Moya called us and said that Sasha was operating from the Jefferson Tunnel.

"Huh, that was easy." I commented.

"See ya there." Raze said. He then disappeared into the air.

"Let's get going." We then was off to the location.

DONE! We found out who is the leader of the Reapers and her location, Trish starts to reach out to Cole, and Zeke is still going with his conspiracy theories. So next chapter, we face Sasha and maybe find out why Raze wanted to find her. So, until then, adios!
