Okay now I know this chapter is part of vengeance, but I'm too tired (and lazy) to complete the full chapter. So suck it up and please deal with it, unless your sucking it up and giving me good comments, those I can live with.

"Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks." - John F Kennedy

** When I wake up the next day I remember everything. How we'd buried the one and only Trish Dailey in the park, her body alongside others who'd died since the blast. Dirt covers my arms, clothing and skin, but I don't care. Selene's going to pay for this. I'm gonna find that damned bitch. And I'm gonna kill her.**

DAY 20

I'm woken up by my phone ringing. PRIVATE NUMBER. What a surprise.

"I saw what they put you through," John calls us as we wake up. "Hell of a thing. Every minute those mad dogs walk the planet; all of our lives are at risk. Seventy-five seconds."

"Where the hell were you? If you'd only helped out, Trish might still be alive." Cole demands with grief and anger in his voice.

"Nothing I could do," John replies calmly. "She was dead the second Kessler got his claws on her. Fifty-one seconds."

"Spare us that bull shit! You just didn't want to put your neck on the line," I accuse with clenched teeth, lightning crackling in a clenched fist.

"Expose myself to save one person? I don't think so. But I can help you get some payback. The power grid on the southern half of this island never got updated, so it still uses the old external substations. Turn on all three and you restore power to the rest of the island. Fifteen seconds," John explains.

"And give us a new power in the process," Silver says with a nod.

"Exactly." 'END CALL' appears on our phones along with a new GPS location. I look at the grave of Trish and nod to the picture before taking off towards the sewers.


"This is going to be the last time we'll ever do this," Cole says as we all stand in front of the three generators, lightning crackling all around us. Morgan decided to wait on the surface for us while we navigate the underground.

"Amen to that!" I say over the crackling of the downed power substations. We all climb in and force ourselves upward to reconnect the link to the Tesla coils. As lightning travels through my body and out to the other end, I have another vision. I'm swinging my arms downward and a humongous lightning bolt crackles down from the sky and strikes a truck. I do it again and take blow up a car in seconds. The last vision is of me using it on a single Reaper, in some form of overkill. I fall down and land on the floor, gasping as I feel the new power added to my arsenal, or maybe the Ray Sphere just unlocked what I could already do. Regardless, this is going to be used quite often I believe. Nothing is said as we rush over to the exit site, taking out First Sons with everything we have. I'm not sure when, but at one point I decide to try out the new power. So I swing my arms down, feeling energy course through me and… nothing. Nothing happens aside from a strange rumbling from the surface.

"Guess we need to be outside for it to work," I state as I duck from a bullet aimed at my head. Although this one felt weird, like it was coming out of the sky… The First Sons shoot at us in a vain attempt to stop our progress, only to get blown up by fiery napalm and lightning rockets. The dark sewer lights up like fireworks are being shot around, but we all just keep walking down. If this time was a bit lighter I would've made a joke about this, but that's not the case. Once we all climb up to the surface we have a seconds worth of peace before hearing the honk of a turret truck as it rolls up to us, armed by the First Sons. Suddenly the vision of my latest power seems to make sense in my head, and I allow myself a small grin. My arms reach up into the sky and I feel the electricity in the air, feeling the power like on a thread as the balloon waits to be yanked down. So I grip it with both hands and I bring it to earth.

Lightning! A huge green-blue lightning bolt strikes the ground in front of me, the area around me going dark with the sudden clouds forming. I grit my teeth as it travels along the ground like a deadly laser from space. The bolt pillar curves to the right and strikes the turret truck, blowing it up instantly with the overload of energy.

"Oh, yeah. Now this, this is good," I say a little darkly, imagining the lightning bolt strike down Selene with a single use. Oh that bitch will pay. I turn my head towards two more truck honks as a pair of turrets rolls up behind me. Cole and Silver waste no time in using their powers, calling down lightning from the sky. Electricity crackles down and the ground gets scorched with the heat before the other trucks blow up.

"Yeah, fry you bastards," Cole says with a slightly maniacal grin as thunder booms from above. Morgan drops down from above a rooftop, wide eyed at our latest power. I feel drained from the lack of energy, reminding us of what we still have to do, yet a smile creeps onto my face.

"Cole, Luna, Silver, we need to talk," Moya calls us on our phones. "I know what John's been telling you."

"Listen. We have nothing to say to you Moya. You've lied to us from the very beginning," Cole snaps back with anger. No one can blame him

"I didn't have any other choice. I had to make myself appear sympathetic, get you to help me. The Ray Sphere can't fall into the wrong hands," Moya replies, her voice sounding like she's pleading for forgiveness for the lie. Too bad I'm not buying it.

"That's what they all say. 'It can't fall into the wrong hands'. Yeah, like your hands are the right ones," I reply with a huff as the four of us run towards the GPS location for the first substation. "So what was your real plan Moya? We find John and the Ray Sphere and then you take them and leave us to the wolves without a gun?"

"I would have done everything I could to get you out of there." Moya says. I think about the words she said. That's how they trick you, the words they use.

I would have done everything I could to get you out of there. Doesn't sound promising at all. That's no answer, that's just an excuse to give us false hope. I think with another shake of my head. That's bull if I ever heard it.

"Goodbye Moya." The call gets cut off as we find the first external substation, looking similar to the previous substations only with an electrified wire mesh on top. Cole zaps the control panel and the machine whirrs to life. I leap on top of the structure and immediately feel the energy traveling through my body.

"Oh hell yeah, this is some good stuff," I say, my hair standing on ends even while part of it is tied down.


So there we go. Yet another product of not working on schoolwork during info tech and web design.

Ancient Liddel: Thank you so much for reviewing all the chapters. I'll be sure to work extra hard to complete the next chapter for you.

General Herbison: Thanks. I had some inspiration *points to SilverEyedShinobi's story* Still: you've lost your parents to the Blast, you've found someone who has become someone like a replacement for your mother, and now you have to watch her die all over again.

So I hope you all like this. As always, please review.
