"Choking on your alibis"-Mr. Brightside,The Killers. (This works for this chapter and the next)
The Warehouse,The Docks,New Ninjago City,Now
Rick and the others smashed the windows in. Bob had insisted it was for "dramatic entrance" purposes.(A.N. it has been decided... Bob will eventually befriend the Brown Ninja.) Rick and Ann had followed Bob through the window frame as carefully as they could,avoiding broken glass. The majority of the Hierarchy was positioned in an attack circle at the center of the room. Rick saw a raised area with a railing,he assumed that that was where the hierarchy had been before the police had entered. The thought of Power standing there,treating the gang as if they were all lower than him, made Rick angry. He spotted Power,standing next to Fire and Ice,so he marched towards him. All of the reinforcements that Rick,Ann and Bob had called moved in,following Rick's lead. When the Police were about 5 meters away from the attack circle,the hierarchy attacked.
Power had seen Officer Inconscient enter through the window. Power had also seen Officer Inconscient approaching him with the obvious intent of attacking him,so Power gave the signal to attack when the ring of officers was approximately 5 meters away from the hierarchy. The attack signal being Power's claws/talons being (A.N. I don't know what the word is...basically his retractable claws are out now. That's the signal,him getting ready to attack with his claws/talons).
It was clear from the start that the hierarchy was outnumbered.
However this didn't seem to matter because they all fought with their all. Power was locked in combat with Officer Inconscient, the two were fighting hand to hand, Inconscient punched Power in the eye,most likely giving him a black eye, and Power retaliated by clawing him on the arm,drawing blood.
Meanwhile Ann and Lightning were also fighting. Well... Ann was mostly dodging Lightnings quick a d unpredictable kicks and punches,she occasionally got a hit in,but not often.
Water was fighting Bob. She was using her boots to her advantage,she performed attacks that were clearly thought out,but seemingly random at the same time,and despite her long dress she'd managed to land a kick in a slightly more sensitive area(A.N. basically she kicked Bob in the private area). However,Water had been so caught up in her fight with Bob,she didn't notice the back up Officer coming up behind her...
It was then that Amber,who'd managed to get the rest of the Gang out of the building but felt she would be needed,charged out of her hiding place behind machinery,and tackled the Officer to the ground,she'd saved Water from an unfair loss,however,she'd been knocked out cold by the Officer after a few moments of attempting to fight him.
Fire had clearly lost his temper. He was giving any Officer who approached him bad bruising that would most likely last for a good month or so.
Earth was fighting in a slow but strong way. He waited for an Officer to approach him,then he punched them in the lower arm. Using this method he broke quite a few Officer's arms.(A.N. it is at this point that I've typed Officer so many times it no longer looks like a word) .
Ice's fighting style involved calculated attacks and the uncanny ability to predict his opponents next move.
The fighting continued for a good few minutes after Amber was knocked out. It almost looked like the Hierarchy might win. But all fighting came to a sudden end when Power screamed out in pain...
A.N. I'm not so evil. I'm not ending it here. If you need a break from reading now's the time. Think of this as an ad break. Oh and remember, Power is fighting Officer Rick Inconscient.
On with the story!
All conscious people in the building,both Police and Gang member stopped fighting immediately and turned to look at what had happened.
Rick himself looked horrified by what he'd done. Somehow he'd managed to get hold of one of Power's huge wings,he'd dropped the wing now, and he'd held onto it whilst Power had moved. The result being that the joint on Power's wing had been dislocated. Half of his wing hung limply as he fell to his hands and knees,trying to deal with the pain. Fire made a sound similar to a predatory growl. Then the Cops realised that they now had the upper hand,they started cuffing the Gang members. Fire continued to growl,the sound getting louder as Bob approached him to arrest him.
"It's over,you've lost,get over it." Bob told him.
"No." Fire had a raised voice. He ran over to Rick, "Please, let me relocate his wing, I know the anatomy of his wings. Please. He's like a brother to me,I can't bare to see him in pain." Fire sounded desperate, "Please, if you try to relocate his wing,you'll most likely end up damaging it further,making the already permanent damage even worse" Fire a final act of desperation Fire pleaded, "If you let me help him,I sware to you,on my life,that I will go without a fight."
So Rick let him. Fire approached his best friend who was laying on his side,crying in pain.
"Hey kid. It's me,listen I'm going to put your wing back in place, then we've got to surrender, Inconscient wouldn't let me help you otherwise." Fire spoke in a whisper and nearly cried because he'd never seen his friend like this.
Power responded with a small wine of acknowledgment. He let out a small sob. And prepared himself for his wing to be put back into place. He let out a gasp of pain when his wing was put back into place. Fire then gave his brother a small pat of encouragement on his shoulder. Then he stood up,walked over to Rick and held his hands out.
"I never go against something I have sworn to." Fire told Rick,who looked a bit confused at first. But after a few moments he overcame his confusion he cuffed Fire and they got a stretcher for Power,who was still in a heap on the floor.
The Police station,New Ninjago City,a bit later.
Rick looked a the girl infront of him. She was obviously shocked that they'd been captured. She wasn't very awake either.
"So what did you say your name was?" Rick asked her. He had the patience of a saint when it came to younger people.
"As a gang member? Amber,I'm the lowest in the hierarchy. But in my day to day life I'm Alex. I work behind the counter at The Amber Serpent restaurant." The red headed girl told him. He couldn't blame the girl,Alex,for her tiredness,she'd yawned halfway through her explanation.
Rick sighed. "Thank you,Alex. Would you like a coffee?" He offered.
"No thank you,I don't drink coffee. I'll just lay down here thanks." She politely declined. As Rick exited the interrogation room,one of the many they had at the police station he looked back at the girl and sighed.
Ann approached him. She looked at him in a worried kind of way,like he was fragile. Rick was sick of that look. He hadn't meant to hurt Power as much as he had. For that reason Bob had been put in charge of interrogating Power.
"What is it Ann?" Rick asked.
"Bob managed to get the masks off of the rest of the Hierarchy,they look more like regular citizens now. But they're still recognisable as the gang personas they created. Power,for example,looks like a regular guy,with the exception of the huge wings,claws,fangs,tongue,and slightly grey skin. And their clothing hasn't changed either..." Ann explained, she then paused,as if she were telling a child that their sibling isn't around anymore (A.N. slightly morbid,I know,sorry about that. It's the only comparison that works,she's speaking in a really gentle tone,as if she doesn't want to destroy his innocence. It's the only comparison that I can truly say I know what it's like... I'm not going to think about it. On with the story) "Bob isn't having any success with Power. I think you'd have more success. But Rick? Just try to stay calm and open minded. Don't lose your temper,and give me your cup."
"What?" Rick was clearly confused.
"Give me your cup. You don't need your coffee and I know how much you like that cup." Ann took the mug off of him. She then led Rick to the interrogation room where Bob was trying to get information out of Power and obviously failing miserably. Ann set Ricks mug down on the table and opened the door for him. Rick walked in and Ann followed him in. She gestured to Power,who had his back to them. His wing was clearly at an unnatural angle,Rick felt a pang of guilt. He walked around to face Power from the front.
Ann was right to take his mug from him. Rick had never been more shocked in his life.
He looked at the young boy before him. He felt an overwhelming sense of guilt and shock. He didn't want to believe that the 16 year old in front of him was actually Power. But the wings kinda gave it away. And as the boy looked up at the man infront of him the boy looked extremely guilty. Rick wished that the boy hadn't looked at him. The boy had only confirmed Ricks new biggest fear.
The boy who was Power had crimson red eyes that shined with tears and conveyed to many emotions to name.
Rick was furious and upset and confused.
Why hadn't he noticed it sooner?
The "man" he'd been tracking for over a month now, was his own adopted kid.
The biggest shock Rick ever received was realising that Power was Liam Montgomery. And that he'd injured his kid. He wouldn't be able to live with himself anymore. And Liam wouldn't want to live with him anymore. And authorities would most likely take Liam away from him anyways, he'd injured his kid,and hadn't tried to stop himself.
