The van was speed off! There was no way I was going to catch it by foot or even with my new power. I needed a car and fast! Nate had always told me stories about how his foster dad had taught him how to hot wire a car; I sure hope he wasn't lying.
"Nate, you know how to hot wire a car right", I quickly asked?
"Ya, but I'm not that good at it", he reluctantly said. Of course he's going to say that; who would say, "Oh Ya! I'm the best at hot wiring cars, breaking into them, stealing, and anything; you name it."
"Good, cause we're going to need it. Come on. I need you to hot wire this car as fast as you can", I exclaimed. Nate had always loved a good challenge, but he reluctantly reacted to this one.
"O.k. I'll see what I can do", Nate said. He quickly smashed through the window and started hot wiring. Within seconds the car roared to life. I hopped in the driver's seat and told Chase and Nate to get in.
"Hey I don't think that you should drive. I mean you just got your permit", Nate said.
"Nate, get in the car", Chase quickly yelled! I sped off with the pedal to the floor.
"Alright, let's see what this baby can do", I chuckled. Nate and Chase quickly strapped on their seat belts, holding on to the door handle as we got to about 90 mph. The van; I could see it! It was only about a mile or two ahead of us now.
As we approached it, I yelled to Chase, "Take the Wheel and keep a steady speed and if anything happens to me save Terra; don't stop for me."
"O.k.", Chase replied confidently. I climbed out the window onto the empty luggage rack. I held onto the bar tightly, knowing that I Chase made the slightest mistake I was a goner.
"Chase, speed up to the van and as soon as you are about to hit it slam on the brakes o.k.", I told Chase. I stood on front window, getting ready to sling shot myself to the van. I tried not to think what would happen If I missed. It was go time. Chase slammed on the brakes and I went soaring through the air at only 110 mph. Chase quickly sped back up to par. I slowly felt myself falling, and gave myself an extra push. I forced the air through my hands, which spiraled out like a coil of spring.
CLUNG! I had barely grabbed onto the van by the hitch. My worn out skater shoes burned off almost instantly. Again, I don't know how I did it, but all of the sudden an air blade had formed under each foot; protecting my feet. I slipped. I fell straight through the air horizontally, zooming past Chase and Nate. I hit the ground with a thud. My body ached and I was scared to look at my body to see how mutilated it was. I cranked my head over to see that I wasn't on the ground. I was on a giant platform of whirling wind. My powers had been protecting me all this time. I stepped off the platform of whirling wind and started to run. Short term memory loss or something, because I'd forgotten I can't run 110 mph like I used to. Then I remembered; on the air blade it was hurling wind on the front. I wonder how strong I can get that wind. I flicked my wrists and yelled, "AIR BLADE!"
Two air blades had formed in front of my hands, just as they did earlier. I threw the air blades on the ground and hopped on them. I felt power rush through my body. The chill of the air go straight through me like I had never even existed. I started roller air blade with the air blades. I shot up in the air and then forward like a shooting star.
It had only been about 3 minutes that I had fell behind, but that was a lot especially when you're trying to chase someone at 110 mph. I forced the air through my body and sky rocketed towards the van. CLUNG! I'd got to the van again, but this time I was on top. They swerved all over the open road causing a few people roll their cars and crash. I didn't quite understand why they hadn't killed Terra, probably to use her as a ransom. BOOM! The Ganguards blasted through the roof, flying me through the again! I couldn't catch myself on my air blades. "What about an air board", I thought to myself?
"AIR BOARD!", I commanded to the wind. Right under my feet a board of air formed. I leaned forward and pointed the tip down, and shot through the air once more. By the time I'd caught up, I'd prepared air blades in my hands I chucked them at the Ganguards. One sliced off one of their heads and the other was deflected back at me. I quickly rose in the air avoiding my blade of air. I zoomed down towards them again and tried to grab Terra, but they knocked me off my and I had landed I the lap of one of the Ganguards. I was stuck behind enemy lines. I quickly curled up in a ball and forced a blast of air from all over my body, sending everyone including Terra against the walls of the van. I stretched out my arms and shot blasts of air, which penetrated through one of the Ganguards sturdy metal chest armor and blasted him out of the van. The two Ganguards left pointed a gun at me and a gun at the Terra, who was still tied up and muzzled. Just then i turned around to watch the vehicle that Chase was driving crash onto the hood of the van, which was still speeding over 110 mph now. The van crunched, just like when you crunch a soda can under your foot. Terra, a Ganguard, and I went soaring through the air like a rag doll being punished by getting chucked across the room.
I rolled on the air towards Terra and hugged her, holding her tight. This was not for my satisfaction, but for her protection. A cold, hard platform of whirling had caught us and cushioned our fall somewhat. It still hurt, but we were alright now. The Ganguard on the other hand, had shattered its armor off and skinned itself against the asphalt. It was dead, but its body wreaked a horrible odor.
I look all around for Chase and Nate, but they were nowhere to be found. Terra was knocked unconscious; she was out cold. I flew Terra, in my arms on my air board, to the nearest gas station. I wanted to go search for Chase and Nate, but I wouldn't dare leave Terra out of my sight again; I'd already almost lost her once, I wouldn't let it happen again.
