Tyson's POV
Tonight was going great. Right now I was sitting on the couch with Sean, Kyle and Cody playing Call of Duty while Miranda was reading, occasionally glancing up to see who just got killed. More often than not, that person was me.
"And the winner is?" Cody said, hovering above us as the scores came up. Sean and I pointed at Kyle just as Cody saw the scores. He'd come in second behind Kyle, Sean in third and me in close fourth.
"You just go owned," Miranda mumbled, glancing over at Cody with a taunting glare. It was then that we heard a loud noise.
"What was that?" Sean asked.
"Sounds like it came from the library," Kyle muttered, shifting into an eagle and flying out the window.
"Weren't Ashley, Jack and Gale at the...?" Cody started saying, following Kyle out the window while Sean, Miranda and I bolted out the door, Miranda using vampire speed to keep up while Sean jumped into the air and started gliding while I ran ahead.
It was Ashley we were particularly worried about. After the fight a few days ago, she was still recovering, and trust me, when you go through what she went through, you'd probably understand why we're worried.
"Oh holy crap," I heard Cody shout, watching as he bolted through the air, an eagle's cry giving away Kyle's presence. This made Miranda and I run faster, Miranda grabbing Sean's arm and practically dragging him, erecting a surprised yell.
We soon arrived at the library, or at least, the pile of rubble that was the library. A crowd was already gathering, but Sean was already in the rubble, digging through it. I was soon joining him, as were Miranda and Kyle, the latter in the form of a gorilla, while Cody flew off to get Stephen and Rachel.
? POV
How can people be so blind? Gale's little friends ran right past where I was hiding, yet didn't even know I was here. Even the telekinetic speedster and the goth necromancer failed to notice my presence.
I watched as they moved rubble, going by the gorilla's ability to sense people. I do hope that, above all else, Gale survives. After all, messing with her will be so much fun.
Tyson's POV
As we cleared the rubble, we heard gunshots. I looked up to see five men with guns running at us. With primal fury, I ran at them, allowing my eyes to turn gold and my ancestor's blood to flow into my arms as I unleashed the Quick-Strike, my limbs moving while I looked like I was standing still. Only proof I'd moved? The five men were lying on the ground, all unconscious.
"Oh in the name of Teridax!" Miranda cursed (yet another ancient shadow elemental's name), her eyes blazing as tendrils of shadow struck four more men, knocking them to the ground. As yet more men appeared, blazing yellow beams fired from above, stopping their advance.
"Stop! They're on our side!" the principal yelled, erecting an energy shield around us.
"Funny way of showing it! They opened fire on us while we were trying to rescue our friends!" Cody yelled, landing outside the shield while the rest of us continued digging, Stephen and Rachel now helping.
"They're the school's new anti-terrorist taskforce. Perhaps they were a bit hasty on the trigger finger," the principal responded calmly as a man, presumably the leader, walked over.
"My apologies. Captain Price reporting for duty," the man said with a British accent, before turning to his men and giving them orders. Ignoring them, I sensed a presence that felt both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. I ignored it in favour of a more pressing concern. As we moved rubble away, someone was throwing it back on.
"Slag off Vincent!" Miranda screeched, trying to throw rubble onto the annoying bully.
"Make me witch!" Vincent taunted, grabbing another piece of rubble. Before he could throw it, it seemed to disintegrate under a powerful shockwave.
"I doubt you'd want to deal with Miranda's fury," Adam taunted, glaring up into Vincent's eyes. This caused Vincent to back up, trying to put as much distance between him and Adam as he could.
"Found Jack!" Rachel shouted, lifting the lightning elemental out of the rubble.
"I got Ashley!" Stephen yelled, being careful to lift her out. Not long afterwards, Kyle was lifting Gale out, then they left for the infirmary with the others, leaving only me and Cody.
"Something on your mind?" he asked, noticing me looking out into the trees.
"Yeah. There's someone in there, and I think they know something about what happened," I muttered.
"Well, you'll be needed at the infirmary. I'll get Sean and we'll investigate," Cody offered. Nodding, the two of us left, hoping to catch up with the others.
? POV
I see the speedster isn't as mentally slow as I thought. If Sean and Cody are going to try and find me, then I guess I could let them find me. First things first though, I'll need to find another elemental. I sniff the air, and wouldn't you know it, I smell the air elemental, Laura, and she's in the park, all alone.
I look back to the wreck of the library, only to find that Sean and Cody have returned. I laugh inwardly at the fun I'm going to have before I leave, hoping to find my prey easily.
Tyson's POV
I sit by Ashley's bed, trying to find some sense in that head of hers. Considering she had a building fall on her, I can understand why her mind would be jumbled. That and since we dug her out, she's constantly been muttering the word 'storm'. One reason I'm here is to try and find out what happened in the library and see if Ashley saw the bomber.
Another reason is because Shannon wants me to apply telekinetic energy on Ashley's arm in order to help fight the pain. Right now, Shannon's working on healing Jack, Kyle sitting at his bedside, Rachel sitting at Gale's and Miranda standing, watching and waiting.
Cody and Sean are already out searching for the bomber. As much as the anti-terrorist taskforce are probably good at their job, we've fought threats that are on the scale of mad genius and super villain. Guess it could be a long night.
