Let me bleed! Let it snow! Let It snow!
Welcome to the next chapter and I have to say a merry Christmas and Happy New Year, might be late for that one, the reason why I haven't been updating my stories in a while is because of my 8th grade science fair which is just a bastard to me and I am struggling as if I don't do this and pass then I'm held back.
For the entire time I have been working on it and I have made it far enough that I can now take a small break and try this chapter out. Its completely depressing as I had to reread the entire chapter before and it sucks, so here is the next chapter and hopefully I still got it.
Chapter 13: First Villain III: Escaping and Confronting the Enemy
With Lily, Dante and Eddy. 1:03 P.M
The soldiers shot more bullets as he and his platoon chased after Eddy, Lily and Dante. Dante and Eddy used a combine shield of Dante's metal and Eddy's sand, but it wasn't lasting long as the metal became dent and the sand fell of piece by piece.
'' Fuck me! What is their bullets made of? It didn't hurt back at the school, and they look the same.'' Dante exclaimed as the bullets pressed more and more into his metal making him feel lots of pain.
'' Ask the one who switched sides.'' Eddy commented sending a few fireballs over the shield as they turned right of a corner given the direction from Lily. The yells of the soldiers confirmed Eddy was successful.
'' The rifles were only set to kill but only at human level. This is at non-human levels and poisonous to our kind. It some kind of metal liquid, I think my dad said it was called Godimiunim, its common in certain places of the world and gives of a blue, or white, light it turns completely blue once melted. It is pretty much the perfect source to kill us. Left!'' Lily explained then shouted as they turned in said direction. The doors blurred by at their speed and the hall seemed to be never ending.
'' Never heard of it.'' Dante said.
'' I said it was common in some places, these places include mostly deep in the Amazon Rainforest so no scientist but our own have discovered it and are planning on keeping it that way.'' Lily said.'' Put down the shield and cover your ears!'' Lily ordered.
'' Why? What are you going to do?'' Eddy asked still not trusting her.
'' Just trust me! Now!'' Lily shouted leaving no room for argument. Eddy and Dante let down their jointed shield and Lily turned on her heels and took a deep breath, by this time the two other Saviors covered their ears. Another second later a defying scream came and the effort to cover their ears were futile as the scream continued on making their ear drums beg for mercy.
Lily, using her Sonic Scream, was left unhindered like the other two, but the soldiers were no better as they received the full force of her power. They all dropped their weapons screaming as they held on to their ears, some took of their helmets just to do so, making it worse. Blood soon started to come out of their ears and they fell to the ground withering in pain, one was banging his head on the wall for the pain to stop only to knock himself out. The assault on their hearing continued for one minute but seemed like hours, but once Lily saw all of them on the ground she stopped.
The echo of it quickly left leaving the ringing in their ears as they tried to recover their sense of hearing. This lasted for a few minutes til they recovered and Eddy reacted first.
'' What the hell was that? You almost ruptured my damn ear drum!'' Eddy shouted at the woman.
'' Shut up Eddy! Your still alive are you? So take it like a damn man and stop whining.'' Lily said making fire appear over Eddy's head as he rolled his sleeves up.
'' Oh I'll show you what a man should do...!'' Eddy was about to pounce only for Dante to stop by shocking them both. It wasn't long before the lightning stopped and they were left a burnt mess.
'' Now its no time for fighting we need to get transportation, I'm sure the others had found everyone else by now. You two need to play nice until this entire thing is over, after this you can kill each other for all I care!'' Dante shouted at blacken Heroes.
The two crossed their arms and mumbled apologies at one another.' I'm dealing with children.' Dante thought shaking his head and Lily walked forward continuing the lead, their smoldering clothes did self repair and they dusted the ash of their hands and arms.
After another twenty minutes and no encounter of any soldiers, they were soon in front of a red steel door and over the door was a sign that read ''Transportation''.
'' We're here.'' Lily informed.
'' Finally, lets get these vehicles going and lets the hell out of here!'' Eddy exclaimed wanting this thing over as soon as possible.
'' I still need to wait for my little friends to come back.'' Dante said to the others.
'' What do you mean?'' Lily asked.
'' Before I found you I released some of my robots out to find, hack and store data, and destroy Vladimir's computer.'' Dante told them.
'' Why do that?'' Eddy asked confused of his action.
'' Look we're left in the dark about all this superhero biz and we need a way for us to at least get some info. See what Vladimir knows as he obviously has tons of information of us... of our kind. We're not the only ones trapped in the statue state in the hall we saw earlier. There were about ninety-six in there, if it is that many there has to be more. He hunted us down and hes probably hunting any others like us. We need that fucking information.'' By the time Dante stopped his speech, the ones he sent to get the information was able to come back, surprising the non-technological Heroes.
The snakes slithered back into his satchel, the birds flew down with the spiders on his back. His personal spider landed on his shoulder sending that he was able to collect all information, though nearly all were encrypted and blocked and will take an estimated two to four months to block even for his skill. It checked four times over and was sure to have got everything, even all of the flash-drives and storage units across the room were put into the storage inside of the other robotics.
'' Good job pal, now lets get out of here.'' Dante said walking to the door and opening the door. Instantly he sent a large amount of electricity across the room making the lights come on. They were atop a catwalk when they entered. The three walked to the clean railing and looked out across the area as the lights came on. They saw helicopters, vehicles, boats, tanks, attack helicopters, and three jets.
'' So... how are we leaving?'' Eddy asked his voice echoing across the room. He reached for his ear piece and clicked connecting to everyone's channel.
With Techlin, Ed, and Edd. Five minutes after rescue.
'' Come on everyone keep up, Eddy just informed us that they found away for everyone out!'' Ed exclaimed to everyone as everyone kept a light jog down the hall. No one made a sound despite of the good news, they had three small encounters with soldiers that lasted for a few seconds each. The situation was too serious and too out of control to even say a word, many were still processing that the school outcasts were the ones with powers and saving them.
Double D was in the front leading the crowd and checking corners as Eddy talked to them.'' Come on Double D just choose, by boat or by air?'' Eddy asked
'' Eddy could you please just wait for an answer I have to guide everyone through this building with a large number of soldiers looking out for us. We have over a hundred kids and a dozen adults, its hard to think with that many lives on our heads.'' Edd replied sighing once again at Eddy pestering.
'' Oh fine, we're going by air guys, Dante lets go get those statues.'' Eddy said to Dante.
'' Statues? What are you... Eddy? Curse you Vladimir and your long range technological interference. Techlin we lost contact, how are you holding up?'' Edd asked worried for his tired friend.
'' I'm fine...I just need to find Callie.'' Techlin answered as he jogged with the others protecting the middle. Techlin was a little sweaty and he looked more tired than before.
'' Are you sure?'' Ed joined the linked conversation.
'' I'm fine guys, don't worry I can still go on without a hitch. I already have a wife and two parents to worry the amount you guys are.'' Techlin said with a tired chuckle, he cut off the connection between the two Eds.
'' Everything is fine on your side Ed?'' Double D asked turning his attention to Ed.
'' No one seems to coming on our rear. Are we getting closer to the transportation area?'' Ed asked looking over his shoulder seeing no one.
'' We should even for this place to be so big we are hurrying at the best we could. I don't want to depend on him much, but Techlin is our best defensive user we have currently and he has to be running low on energy. I could still go and I know you can, but he needs something to keep his energy up. Anything with your spells that can help?'' Double D asked.
'' I'll check and read each one, focus on leading and I'll tell you if I find anything useful.'' Ed clicked off and grabbed his Book of Healing, starting to read the few pages.
Double D removed his hand from the ear piece and checked around the corner this time seeing five soldiers and one saw him, shouting and pointing in his direction. Edd jumped out into sight and drew a light arrow and released it. It shimmered halfway between the marking point of the soldier who was shouting and his entire squad was running and saw the arrow and fell to the ground.
Edd gave a slight smile at them as the arrow came over their down forms and exploded in a bright light. Eddward could see and saw the arrows fly all around making a border in the walls and floors and the soldiers that thought laying down would protect them were now bleeding to death, or seriously injured as the light arrows numbered in four dozens. Edd continued on the straight path that they were on, ignoring their yells of pain.
With Vladimir in his computer center
Vladimir sat in his computer room on his comfy chair...well whats left of his control room. His computer screens was broken and electricity was flowing from each TV. His keyboard was on the floor and scattered across the room, the file cabinets were on the ground, all his flash-drives were gone.
'' Twenty years of information gone. All because of those damn kids!'' Vladimir threw the chair he was on to the wall and it exploded in piece, next was the place where his keyboard was as he smashed his fists on the table and sparks flew as his blood dripped inside. His rampage wasn't over as he lifted one of the down cabinets and threw them at the collection of screens in the wall and more sparks flew as it made contact, now stuck in the wall.
'' I have to start from scratch all over again! Two fucking decades of work now in the trash, I should have just captured them myself! These kids want to leave with all there friends and family, I won't let them escape alive! None of them!'' Vladimir shouted as he grabbed the necklace around him decorated with white glowing rocks with a blue diamond in the middle. The rope was dark brown leather.
'' I'll make sure that none will leave, but me!'' Vlad shouted as the diamond glowed a bright blue, engulfing him in the warm light.
With Techlin, Edd and Ed
''Everyone go go!'' Ed shouted as the soldiers continued their fire from down the hall. Ed used Ventus: Push to blow away the other soldiers but they ducked and let the spell fly by and they came out firing again. The rescued captives ran by once the soldiers stopped firing. Techlin had put up an ice wall to protect them but it kept getting shot down by the soldiers.
'' Techlin we need another ice wall, we got a few more people left!'' Double D shouted on the right of the gap as people were behind him, waiting to get the other side, the fear was radiating from them as the soldier kept firing.
'' I'm...trying... Ed I need you to cover.'' Techlin said as he tried to make more ice, but was failing as he was close to being drained. Techlin gave a few coughs and a speckle of blood came out.
'' Okay! Terra: Rock Wall!'' Ed understood that his friend was at his limits and needed rest, so he put in a large amount of his Arcane into the spell and a huge and thick rock wall formed covering the entire hall and stood tall, still not reaching the high ceiling. Ed stood by the wall making sure it stayed up.
The last of the people moved across and was reunited with the rest of the people who was down and covering their heads. Whispering words of comfort to the young ones was the older kids and parents to try and calm down the scared kids. Techlin fell to the floor on his hands and knees, trying to catch his ragged breath and to stay conscious, his parents were next to him in seconds.
'' Techlin are you alright?'' His mom asked worry engraved in her voice.
'' I'm(cough, cough, cough) fine.'' Techlin said trying to stand up and didn't get halfway before he fell back down.
'' No your not, I don't know how this power stuff works, but you obviously at your limit. And don't protest Techlin, I know you well enough that your energy level in high due to my punishment on you, but even you have that limit.'' His dad told him calmly.
Techlin hated seeming weak especially with everyone else depending on him but knew his dad was right. Eddward moved and kneel next to him, patting his back.
'' Your father is right, you can't go on like this. You need some source of nutrition or you will be left without energy and that speck of blood means that you could die if you try to push yourself.'' Edd explained to his exhausted friend as he struggled to even keep his eyes open.
'' No! Everyone is depending on us! I need to,'' Techlin started to argue energy shooting through him, but his mother hit a pressure point on his k.'' I need...to...stay up.'' Another hit to the pressure point.'' Please...Callie needs...me.'' Another hit and he was on the floor knocked out in bliss.
'' He is stubborn, I raised him well.'' Alice said with a small smile as her husband picked him up and put him over his shoulder.
'' We'll make sure hes rested, just worry about taking care of those soldiers.'' Tech's dad said and they moved to the crowd of people. Edd turned back to Ed who was now sweating as he held to whats left of the crumpling rock wall.
'' Ed let go, I got it from here.'' Double D said and Ed was glad to do so as he removed his hand and ducked behind a wall, his reserves already replenishing.
Double D drew an arrow and prepared to fire. Techlin and Ed had given their all to protect everyone and now Techlin was out and Ed was recovering from a spell that took a lot out of him. It was all up to him now and he will succeed in protecting everyone.
'' Time to see my own limit!'' Double D exclaimed as the last of the wall fell and the soldiers bullets came. Edd made rapid fire arrows as he was able to get a few. There seemed to be more of the soldiers as they were twice as many. Edd fired more arrow even faster than before as he walked forward the bullets passing by him, some scratched him making the pain soar but he felt that his limits was not reached and kept up the assault, even as his jacket started to get torn and his hood fell off showing his hair he still continued and the soldiers kept firing. Edd made a force field and put his bow away, five were soldiers were down and nine remained. The bullets fought against the force field and Edd saw pieces of it fall off.
What he saw was no longer blurry on the other side but clear. It gave a more defined blue color and was the shape of circle. He continued knowing he must make this and when he was just a few feet away, he dropped the shield and made the force fields around his hands as he unleashed him power on the soldiers. Two fell easily as he made contact with their bodies and they were launched into a wall, another tried to butt him with the end of his rifle, but failed as the force wielder dodge and kicked in the gut, his foot surrounded by a force field, sending the soldier flying into three others and they all hit the wall violently.
' Three left.' Edd thought as he turned just in time to receive a punch to the face, but recovered quickly to punch back with a normal punch, then he hit him in the gut, moved pass him and hit the back of the knee, making him fall and Edd held a force field punch to his head sending his body head first to the floor as his head smashed through the floor. One of the last soldiers was quickly gone as Edd suddenly grabbed hold of his telekinesis and pushed him down another hall and he crashed into a wall leaving one shaking soldier who was scared as two entire units was taken down by just one of the ''freaks''.
Edd moved closer to him grabbing him by the neck and holding a force field fist dangerously close to his face.'' Now listen good, I want you to guide me and everyone else down the hall to the transportation area or you will die and don't think you're the first life I taken. Your friend back there on the ground is a prime example of how I handle things.'' Edd refereed to the soldier whose face was deep in the floor and was unmoving.
'' Sure man, just stay cool I'll help, I'll help.'' The soldier said and Double D told him to get up and go and if he does anything funny then he is dead. The soldier complied.
'' We have a guide everyone.'' Double D announced to everyone.
With Thomas
Thomas ran, ran and ran from his own soldiers. His soldiers. After reports of his daughter being one of the freaks the soldiers started to question his motives. After an hour and just more chatter on the comm chanels of defeat of each encounter and findings of more dead, near dead, and unconscious units the soldiers started to question him more and more. Then things started to get rough and he shot one of them. Telling all of them that no one will hurt his daughter made it worse.
So now the soldiers were chasing him and he was being shot at. Thomas was a trained Navy Seal at the age of twenty-two, recruited to the Special Force (Green Berets), went next to the 75th Ranger Regiment in 1999 five years after being a Navy Seal, then was Secret Service protecting George W. Bush the president at the time and stopped three assassination attempts kept wrapped from public view, worked in the FBI for a year then to CIA undercover in Afghan trying to find Osama Bin Laden failed. Next and final was in the 1st SFOD-D (Delta Force) for four years before being dismissed for not following the mission objective and risking the lives of his entire squad.
' Now here I am running from what used to be my own private army, basically corrupt. Considered a prodigy among the army and yet I've been reduced to this!? Fuck it all, my daughter comes first and I'm not going to let anyone stop me from protecting her...and those kids even.' Thomas thought as he had to consider that they were protecting her and were trying their best to help everyone.
' I have to find them and the captives and get them out of here. This place is a lost clause, get my gear from my room, whatever money I have, and guide those kids and the captive out. But now I'm not going to get shot by some grown man who think their soldiers!' Thomas thought determination deep in him now coming out. He ducked around the corner and through a door in just a second, he quickly crouched and put his pistol away taking out his ballistic knives and held them in reversed grip.
'' Time to do the M.E.T.D(Multiple Enemy Take Down)'' Thomas whispered as he cracked open the door to see the first of five soldiers come around and after coming into inches of where he was hiding he burst out of the door surprising the soldier as Thomas kneed him in the gut then stab him in the back and using his knee pushed him up stabbing him with the other knife in the heart instantly killing him, two of the other soldiers came around, and like Eddy, Thomas dashed to them too fast for the two to react and he plunged his ballistic knives deep into their chest, landing on the floor he pulled both blood soaked blades out and threw them to the last two soldier going through their helmets deep enough to reach rubber, they fell down unmoving.
Thomas quickly retrieved his knives and grabbed the assault rifle and all their ammo and left for his room. But before he took another step he felt like chocking himself, like he was going to die, and then he felt what came after. Beings of Power had the ability to outward push their energy only if they had enough, this feeling is felt as each power is used but drastically lessen but as one become stronger the energy becomes more potent. This ability was called Intent, it could be used in three ways: Killing, Savior, and Neutral. Killing gave off potent energy of malice and murder being able to even make victims want to kill themselves, Savior gave a warm feeling and was able to energize nearby people, and Neutral just knocked people out and made them uncomfortable.
'' This is evil energy, so potent, so much murder and its not even at its peek. I have strong mental barriers to protect myself from this, so if I feel it then everyone is this entire building could feel it.'' Thomas whispered to himself as he stopped his hand from shaking and reaching for his knives. Thomas shook his head and steeled his mind as he ran for his room needing to hurry and protect his daughter...and the others.
With Dante, Lily and Eddy
'' What the hell is this!?'' Eddy shouted, his voice echoing through the room as he did. The energy he was feeling, or whatever this was, it was dangerous. It wanted to kill them, it felt like that snake in his soul, so vile and evil, he wanted to kill. Eddy was soon on the floor coughing as he tried to fight the urge to find a tool to kill himself.
Dante wasn't fairing any better as he was left shaking and clawing at the wall in front of him for a way of escape, even by death or by ventilation system. He kept reaching into his satchel and pulling out different amount of tools, but put them back in a few minutes later.
Lily was fairing better than the others to the killing intent. Her power helped protect her from the evil energy, but even she had to feel a little queasy from this. But she wondered who will be so evil to have this much energy. Lily didn't think of it much as she went to help the others.
'' Come on Eddy, snap out of it. Aren't you suppose to be one of the strongest on the team. You look more like a weak little baby instead!'' Lily shouted to Eddy as she slapped him over and over again. Eddy's file said that his anger can overcome anything especially medicines used to sedate patients. She kept at it til her hand started to hurt but soon the heat around them started to rise to the point of her sweating.
'' Will get a fuck away from me! God I wanted to die not slapped around!'' Eddy was back to his old self as he rubbed his sore cheeks glaring at Lily's back as she walked to Dante who was still digging in his satchel like a madmen as all his tools was littered around him and some were stained with blood. Dante's skin kept changing from metal to normal each time he struck sometimes too late and he was able to poke his arm a few times, making the limb bleed.
Lily thought of a way to snap him out of it and realized one way. So sighing and taking her chances and knowing this will not be pretty for her she took the chance and did the only thing that could stop Dante. Going down on her knees in front of the techno genius she grabbed his shoulders and gave a shake, but he remained oblivious to her. His body was shaking hard enough to feel like a game controller on sensitive vibrate.
'' Dante...calm down. Everything is going to be alright.'' Lily spoke in a soothing voice as she grabbed a tighter hold of Dante's shaking body and brung him into a hug. Lily's cheek started to blush as she did so, but her stern face on her face told of something else. It didn't last long til she felt him stop shaking and she felt his head started to move. It happened too fast for her to react but Dante started to rub his head deeper into her chest where his head was resting and a giggling made her stand up and punched him in the head.
'' You perverted bastard!'' Lily shouted to him as he laid on the ground smiling.
'' Sure, but I still felt nipples and soft pillows, thank you God for given women such nice fleshy parts in their biological make up in the beginning.'' Dante said giggling perversely.
With Techlin, Ed, and Double D
'' Everyone just keep moving!'' Edd said to the others as he felt the raw energy as everyone else. Everyone was left a blubbering mess as they all struggled to stay awake. Techlin woke up after feeling the energy and was able to keep everyone calm with his Chi as it washed over him and the people. But it still leaked through and they made stop after stop as people struggled to stay awake. Techlin was able to cover everyone but Ed and Double D who were left exposed to the raw evil. Ed stayed strong as he tried to ignore it and failed horribly.
Double D was close enough to trying to make a force field around his hand and hit his head over and over til it exploded, but held on strong, well as best as he could. The thoughts of suicide was still in his head as he went, he confiscated the gun of their ''guide'' so he wouldn't try to kill himself, he was much more shaken then the others, but was still with them.
' What is this, what kind of energy is so evil that it makes me think of suicide, good Techlin gained back his energy enough to cover everyone in it.' Ed thought as he looked behind them hearing gun shots ringing all around. At least there won't be many soldiers to deal with, Ed thought as he heard more and more.
Then the energy that made them wanted to kill them suddenly stopped and they were all left shaken as the energy that they felt left in an instant. They all stopped to try and catch their breath, having ran for long time. Techlin stopped cloaking the Chi around everyone.
'' Okay what the hell was that?'' Techlin asked receiving a smack in the head from his mom.
'' Watch your mouth and don't think I didn't hear the other words while trying to rescue us.'' His mother said.
'' I don't know but we need to keep moving our guide said that we are close to the transpo-Bang!'' Everyone jumped as a gun fired and they all turned forward seeing that their guide was dead on the floor, now forming into a pool of blood.
They all turned in the direction to see a soldier carrying a large suit case in one hand and a black traveling backpack filled with clothes and other necessary things. He had the same uniform as the soldiers but showing his black hair and tanned skin.
Double D grabbed his arrow and was going to fire til the man held up his hand.'' Don't even do it kid, superpowers or not I can still kill you.''
'' Who are you?'' Double D asked immediately his arrow still drawn.
'' I was the one in charge of this mercenary army, but there has been a change in leadership due largely to my daughter.'' Thomas told the boy.'' Look you all need to get out of here, and there is no time for talk-''
'' We're not going anywhere til you tell your daughter to stop all the soldiers.'' Double D said figuring that this man's daughter took over the army.
'' No you idiot, my daughter is one of you!'' Thomas said like it was obvious.
'' What?'' Double D or the others was not expecting that answer.'' But why are working for a man who hunts us down and your daughter is one of them?''
'' Well I didn't know til we actually got here plus he was paying us a bunch of money. In this suit case is over five million dollars. Just a small amount of what he pays me,'' Thomas said slightly lifting the suit case up.'' but didn't your other friends tell you of her shes with them right now.''
'' We don't know if your story checks out, you could be just saying that to get us to come with you and ambushed.'' Techlin said moving next to Double D.
'' Look I don't give a shit about your own little suspicions, I know where the transportation is and the only guy you had is dead so just follow me or you can wander around til the soldiers tire you all out.'' Thomas started heading down the hall.
'' Should we follow him?'' Techlin asked his smart friend.
'' We have no choice now do we? Come on everyone we have to run the whole way!'' Double D told them as they all started to run after Thomas to get to the transportation area.
Lily, Eddy and Dante.
'' What the hell was that, I wanted to kill myself for just feeling it.'' Eddy said shivering.
'' That was killing intent, a type of evil energy that our kind can push out to try and make the enemy commit suicide or install fear.'' Lily explained to the inexperience heroes.
'' Like to use it, see how it likes it.'' Dante said.
'' You can't, your too inexperience to even use any kind of intent.'' Lily informed Dante who pouted.
'' Well before we're interrupted again I was saying that all the helicopters were fine and that it should be enough for us and the statues, I'm surprised you were able to get them all here Eddy and under three minutes.'' Dante said looking over all the statues that they acquired. Before that killing intent hit they were loading them on the helicopters that would be piloted by Dante's robots. They were halfway done.
Eddy continued to so reducing the numbers greatly as he did. Lily and Dante offered to help but he said he needed the extra training so he can beat Techlin cause he will be able to do this easily.
'' How long has Eddy's and Technician's rivalry been going on?'' Lily asked.
'' Ever since we first met. You see before we moved to Peach Creek we lived in Colorado, where we scammed kids out of their money. The Eds did so too with Eddy as their leader. We were more successful than they but they had their wins. Since Eddy and Techlin were the leaders when we scammed they started a friendly competition where they try to come up with different scams and who ever scam wins is dubbed King of Scams.'' Dante started.
'' That was first, now they get into fights and see whose the toughest, they see who can eat fastest, do the much work in class, the fastest in running, push ups, sit ups, pull ups, the list goes on. Eddy won some, Tech won some, most were ties. But its all friendly really, in the end they usually laugh it up with no hard feelings and joke around about how they can beat the other. Its quite stupid to me, but me and Double D have a little competition from now and then so I can't really talk.'' Dante chuckled.
'' Boys are weird.'' Lily muttered.
'' Girls are crazy.'' Dante responded.
'' Done, whats my time?'' Eddy shouted after putting all the statues in twenty of the fifty helicopters.
'' Two minutes and fifty-nine seconds.'' Dante said and Eddy gave a small cheer.'' Also thanks for pushing the jet and boat into my satchel too they might have technology that was like the shields that deflected our powers.''
'' How much stuff did you take from this place anyway?'' Lily asked already knowing about his pocket dimension.
'' Well that is all of Vlad's information, I picked up a few guns and a rocket launcher of the soldiers that we killed to examine and extract the Godimiunim and examine their weapons, see how it all connects, a jet and boat, I'll take one of the helicopters too after we drop off everyone. Since me and Double D are the smartest in the school, we are allowed to leave class with no permission as we get our work done just minutes into the class. I can go home real quick and work on them, make them my own, see how they work and a bunch of other things I want to test out.'' Dante informed the two.
'' So what role does everyone has in your group?'' Lily asked another question.
'' Wow, our friend wants to know more. Well I work with technological means, Double D does the math and diagrams of each scam, Techlin and Eddy are the ones who comes up with the scams, Ed is the muscle of the group. Ed focuses on entertainment for everyone and we focus on workout material and supplies, have to keep fit and stock for our line of work.'' Eddy didn't like the fact that Dante was telling everything to the woman, he still didn't trust her, but he had to admit that he was starting to like her since she did help save him from that killer intent.
' I didn't trust the Gates for a while until they proved themselves to me, I wonder how she is going to prove herself to me.' Eddy thought as he clenched his hands, if she did anything to hurt him or his brothers he'll make sure she pays.
A very loud bang was heard and the three looked up, powers activated, only to see a man with black and tan skin appear.'' Lily!''
'' Dad?'' Lily.
'' Dad?'' Eddy and Dante said shocked.
'' I stole his car.'' Dante said remembering him from the school.
'' You stole my dad's car?'' Lily shouted at Dante.
'' Nope!'' Dante quickly said turning away, until another voice came up.
'' Dante, Eddy, we need everyone on board now!'' Double D shouted to them as he everyone else started to come in and go down the stairs.
'' Why?'' Eddy asked as the people quickly ran by to get on the helicopters.'' Only ten people per heli, and no pushing you all getting out of here!''
'' We got the entire army coming this way, Ed and Techlin are holding them off, you guys go help I'll escort everyone inside the copters!'' Double D shouted.
'' Kay lets...go.'' Eddy said only to run into his dad's chest.'' Oh hey dad, got a growth spurt, uh gotta go!'' Eddy ran by his dad and mom.
'' Oh hes in trouble when we get home.'' Eddy's mom said as they went to get on one of the air crafts where all the parents were.
Eddy grabbed Dante as he ran by his parents and they charged through the crowd with apologies being shouted by Dante. After passing through the crowd they were in the hallway and immediately the sounds of gun firing, rockets and grenades explosions filled their ears. Coming from both sides were dozens of soldiers, with Techlin defending the left and Ed right.
'' I got my brother, you get Ed.'' Dante said and they split.
'' Hey lumpy need some help!'' Eddy exclaimed as Sand Shards* shot from his hands piercing four soldiers through the chest.
'' Eddy!'' Ed said excited to see his friend.
'' Missed me!'' Eddy said to soldiers as he dodged some of their bullets but some scrapped his arms and he felt the poison burn his skin.'' Ed put fire on them!''
'' Alright! Ignus: Fire Fists!'' Ed spell came alive as five small balls of fire levitated around him and turned into fists. He ordered them forward where they punched and burn multiple soldiers. Eddy rushed in on the enemy with his Fire Armor alive and around him, he quickly dealt with all the soldiers as they were left burnt on the ground in just a few seconds.
'' Nice one Eddy!'' Ed said patting him hard on the back.
Eddy gave a few coughs before thanking Ed.'' No soldiers are coming lets go back to Double D and get the hell out of here!'' Both Eds left back to Double D.
'' Hey bro, grab my hand!'' Techlin instantly held out his hand to Dante as he ran by grabbing his hand, suddenly Dante stopped and lifted Tech off his feet, Techlin caught on and when his feet faced the soldiers his shot out blades and ice at rapid pace, it was too quick for them to react and many soldiers was pierced. Techlin placed his feet down and swung Dante to the remaining soldiers where he electrocuted them with purple lightning, they were left sizzling.
'' Glad you took a liking to listening to me.'' Dante said as he approached his brother.
'' I just know you think good on the move, anything else just makes you annoying.'' Techlin said as he sensed no more soldiers coming at the moment.'' Lets go back to the others and get out of here before more come.''
'' Agreed.'' Dante said and they made way to the entrance until Techlin stopped and turned around.'' Where you going?''
'' I need to find Callie.'' Techlin said starting into a run down the hall. Dante shouts for him to stop was blocked out as his only goal was finding Callie. He used Chi to speed him up.
'' Shit. Double D we have a problem!'' Dante said going into the transportation area to see most of the rescued in the helicopters.
'' What problem?'' Edd asked to the boy upstairs.
'' Its Techlin, he went after Callie and he won't come back til he does!'' Dante shouted.
'' Darn it. Eddy, Techlin went off to find his wife, go assist him so we can leave this place.'' Double D said putting the last of the students on his side inside.
'' On it!'' Eddy said leaving the room in a split-second with Dante given direction to where he went.
With Techlin
' Please be okay Callie please.' Techlin thought as he put more Chi in his legs to speed him up.
'' Pull you over, your over the speed limit!'' Eddy's voice caught his ears as said boy came to his side.
'' I'm not leaving without Callie!'' Techlin said.
'' Oh shut up, I'm not making you come back.'' Eddy reassured the spirit boy.'' Do you even know where she is?''
'' Yeah!'' Techlin said. Techlin didn't know where this ability came from, but he could sense others auras. Each person had their own aura but he could generalize it for his own personal use. Red was for enemy, blue was allies, and gold and white mix was target. His thoughts was only of Callie so he saw the mist of gold and white in the distance.
'' Shes close by!'' Techlin said.
'' Good! I'm surprised you can go at speeds like this that Chi must really be something.'' Eddy said.
'' Chi is just spirit power and it only affects the body and everything around it. You have an element as your control, wind is everywhere you can go faster than this Eddy I know that much!'' Techlin said.'' Here!'' Both boys stopped running but their speed made them go further as they slid to a stop right in front of the door.
'' Shes in here, just wait a second while I get her.'' Techlin told Eddy and he nodded not wanting to see a cheesy reunion.
Techlin took a breath, he was fearing the worst that Callie didn't want him cause she might thought him as a freak, or worse, she was afraid of him. But Eddy put a hand on his shoulder.
'' Don't worry man she'll still love your ugly ass.'' Eddy's insult had no ill will.
'' Thanks, here I go.'' Techlin said as he entered and the door closed behind him. White was the first thing he saw, white was the only thing he saw. The floors, the walls, the visible ceiling, doors, lights, everything was white. It was blinding, but he pushed on.
There was windows on the walls with doors next to it. Techlin looked through each window as he passed. They all held the same thing. Cabinets with labels of different medicines, IVs, gurneys, defibrillators, small steel tables with surgical tools on it, and a bunch of other stuff that he didn't know about. But it didn't take a genius to figure that this was the med bay. Techlin looked faster as he was sure that she was hurt in some way.
He glanced to the side through the window and saw her on a gurney resting peacefully and with a doctor over her. Techlin went through the door on the side and was quick to ask the question.'' What happened to her?''
'' She went into shock after someone close to her died, why...crap.'' The doctor with brown hair, dark brown eyes, and light brown skin said once seeing Techlin.
Techlin immediately thought of the robots attack and that beam and how it would have killed him if his arms didn't come up in time.
'' Look I know why your here, I know you have a connection to her and all you know since I had to check if the twins was alright...'' The doctor said backing away as Techlin came closer.
'' Twins? You mean shes pregnant with twins?!'' Techlin whispered in astonishment, the doctor said that it was one baby not two!
'' Yeah I thought you would know your own babies,' The doctor received a small glare as Techlin made a move until he put his hands up, and brought one down with a scalpel in his hand and next to Callie's neck.'' now don't make any move or she gets it and so does the babies.''
'' You bastard.'' Techlin whispered.
'' So what, that's life kid especially to a family man like yourself.'' The doctor said smugly.
'' What do you want?'' Techlin asked.
'' Long time servitude, become my servant and I'll let her live, you really think you are not valuable. Just think of the riches that can be obtained after such a discovery. I'll become famous for the discovery of actually superpowers and I'm a good owner I'll give you some of the profit and credit to you. Plus I'll keep your little marriage secret so your family name won't be ruined.'' The doctor said not noticing Techlin put his hands behind his back and sending a blade through the ground as he made it go behind and him and come up ready to strike.
'' Sounds nice, but like you said I'm a family man and a family man protects his family and I need to be with my family to do so!'' Techlin's blade pierced the doctor through the stomach and Techlin moved with an Ice Shard in hand piercing the doctor's chest multiple times. The doctor was in his arms his head close to his ear, the scalpel fell to the ground as the doctor's last minutes of life was passing.
'' But...your a hero...you don't kill.'' The doctor gasped out.
'' A family man will do anything for his family, even kill, no one threatens my family or me and lives.'' Techlin whispered into his ear as he pushed the doctor off him and he fell back dead.
Techlin wiped the blood off his hands on the doctor's jacket before he moved to get Callie. He held her bridal style as he walked out the door leaving the dead doctor in the pool of his own blood, the only color that stood out in the white area. Techlin walked to the door and as he did felt the weight in his arms shuffle. Callie opened her eyes feeling her body being carried, her sight was blurry but the one carrying her was a dark figure with a strange hat, she tried to squirm out of the stranger arms but was stopped at his voice.
'' Callie its okay, its okay, I'm here, I'm here.'' Techlin said to the woman and Callie's sight cleared to see her husband smiling face.
'' Techlin...'' Callie said in shock.
'' Yeah sorry for taking so long, lots of things wants to stop us nowadays.'' Techlin said with a chuckle. Callie soon buried her head into his chest as she put her arms around him saying his name over as her body shook as she cried.
'' I...thought you were...d-d-dead!'' Techlin made out of her muffled words.
'' Well I'm alive and well and I'm here, I won't die until you don't want me no more.'' Techlin assured her. Callie looked up from his metal chest and looked to see that what he was saying was of half-truth. But she didn't care as she gave a kiss to her savior, it was short but sweet.
''(Chuckle) Thanks I needed that, but now we have to go, the others are waiting.'' Techlin said ending the moment as he moved to the door to see Eddy still waiting.
'' Took you long enough lover boy.'' Eddy said seeing Callie in his arms...he had to admit he was jealous.'' Ready to go?''
'' Yeah. Hold on tight Callie.'' Techlin said and her gripped tighten and the two were off in a second at inhuman speeds. It took only a minute for them to reach the transportation area and quickly get Callie on one of the helicopters.
'' Now we can go!'' Ed said excitedly.
'' Dante's activated your robotics its time for lift off. Ed open the hatch!'' Eddward told Ed as he pressed a button on the wall and climbed into a helicopter as they started up. The ceiling with a loud roar opened revealing the great ocean blue above and the sunlight shinned through a hole that was the entrance from air to the place. The helicopters started to rise and made way for the exit.
'' Man can't wait for home sweet home!'' Eddy said as the Heroes shared one helicopter.
'' Vladimir didn't know what hit him!'' Ed said only for his words to go dry as he looked through the window to see Vladimir with giant white eagle wings and his eyes glowing red.'' G-G-G-G-Guys!'' Ed pointed a shaking finger to Vladimir and they all turned just in time to see the eyes shoot out laser to the helicopter's engine making it explode and sending the Heroes to the ground.
They all impacted the ground hard but stood back up seeing Vladimir land as they each got out of their small craters.'' You have all be a thorn to my side for the last time! Twenty years of work gone cause of you, I should have taken care of you all myself!'' Vladimir said.
'' Twenty years of hunting our kind down! Don't you understand how much the world could have changed if you would have let them be. How much better the world would be!'' Lily said.
'' How much better? You fools, three fourths of those in statues are really Villains, I just put Heroes on them so that anyone foolish enough to come here will think highly of me and trust me. You all think you know history, there is a giant white spot in history that only me and my teacher found out!'' Vladimir said to them.
'' Twenty-years ago my teacher found ancient technology more advance than our own. Everyone laughed at his theory but me! I learned with him everything about it, researched others who have reported to have superpowers. All of it kept under wraps by governments, we found colonies of these people underground.'' Vladimir started.
'' At first I sought to help them but they only used their powers to hurt, told of their plans to rule everyone that dwell under the sun. My teacher was a fool for believing that we could help them, so I got rid of him, then I started to research into how to get them under control and I found Godimiunim and learned of the past and how their was people with powers numbering in millions! But danger was always ahead as aliens, monsters, mythological beings, Gods, everything that can be proven now to be fake or nonexistent is real, but there was a catastrophe coming as all humanities and Beings of Powers enemies joined force to take them out. So to devise a plan the strongest Heroes which was the Chosen Ones before you stopped it by wiping out everyone with power including themselves! All their technology, all their progress everything was gone in just a split-second!'' Vladimir continued.
'' This event happened thousands of years before apes turned into humans, and civilization started anew, their enemies ruled over these humans, but we were stronger and fought back successfully holding everything back. We were dominant. But my research indicates that they are in hiding, building their cities, making more soldiers, training, becoming multiple times stronger than their ancestors, all to fight humans who had powers. I'm saving the world by keeping them here and not giving reason for them to attack.'' Vladimir explained the Lost History.
'' But what about you? Those wings aren't exactly human.'' Eddy said.
'' Its because of this amulet that I am protected,'' Vladimir showed them the item as it glowed brightly.'' it contains all the power I have drained from those before you. Enough of my history lesson, its time I kill you all!'' Vladimir pointed the wings forwards and shot feathers at the Heroes, who were able to jump out of the way as the feathers pierced the walls with tiny craters around them.
'' Terra: Ravage Trees!'' Ed spell erupted from the ground as he landed capturing Vladimir in his trap only for it to be burned down a fire.
'' Fire Spell #23: Volcanic Arms!'' Vladimir shouted as he rushed to Ed with his arms black with red cracks as black smoke came off of it. He made contact with Ed's face, stomach and chest as he left burned marks in the boy. Eddy came to help his friend by pushing Vladimir in the face, sending the scientist back, but Eddy didn't stop as he covered his right with blue fire and punched him again, covering his left hand in dense sand he punched him in the stomach. Eddy continued his barrage only for his fists to be caught by both the mans hand as he kneed Eddy in the chin sending the boy in the air and punching Eddy in the gut soon after.
Double D appeared behind the man as he landed with Eddy in hand and made a force field around his hands and hit him in the back sending him fly and dropping Eddy on the ground.
'' You alright Eddy?'' Double D asked lifting him up.
'' Fine.'' Eddy replied.
Double D turned to Vladimir to see Techlin and Lily double teaming him. Techlin made for strikes with his swords but Vladimir was too fast to dodge and Lily made a pack of drawn wolves appear and attack the scientist along with Techlin. Lily played an attack note as it went to Vladimir and hitting him square on, stopping him, and allowed Techlin to get a few good marks on him and the wolves to bite down on the scientist pulling him to the ground. The trap, like Ed's, didn't last long as Vladimir's body became steel and the wolves were pulled off of him and crushed under his boot. Despite his heavier appearance Vladimir came at Techlin to fast for the boy for him to act and was slugged across the face and knocked off his feet.
Vladimir turned to Lily and his hand became that of a revolver as he shot bullets at her but she was able to play a D notes to protect her from the attacks. Double D turned visible a few feet away from Vladimir and fired arrows that did nothing to penetrate his skin, Vladimir turned around to Double D only for Dante to emerge from underground grabbing hold of Vladimir from behind and charging him with electricity.
'' Its only skin, not your insides!'' Dante shouted as he thought he could end this only for Vladimir to become water and slip from his grasp and was a puddle. Suddenly a fist popped out of the puddle uppercutting Dante and another that slammed the airborne boy down hard. Techlin came with his ice ready to freeze and crush Vlad only for Vlad to become spoke and surrounded Techlin. Techlin felt the heat around him rise as he started to sweat and a fist made contact with his side, then another from his other side, more and more punches came until he pushed out his Chi making the mist go away and for Vladimir to reform a few feet away from the Heroes.
'' You may have powers, but we have numbers, just give up now! Everyone else you held captive is gone and on their way to the U.S. You can't have no one help you, you can't touch them.'' Lily said.
'' Even so, I'll show you that I am more than capable of taking down all six of you!'' Vladimir started to glow a neon green color as he radiated energy off of him.
'' Hes going to blow!'' Techlin said and they all turned to go to the exit only for Vladimir to output all of the built up energy and send a shock wave of neon green energy destroying everything in its path and launching our Heroes through the walls of the school as they all flew at amazing speeds.
Their flying was over as they crashed through enough walls to slow them down and for them to roll on the ground a little before stopping. They were scraped and badly hurt as they stood up, their clothes were torn, but they didn't pay mind to the clothing as they focused on their. Ed felt the pain but healed and used a spell to heal the others.
'' Sanitatum: Closing Wounds!'' Ed's spell covered everyone in a green light as their cuts healed.'' Sanitatum: Bone Healer!'' The same thing happened again and any fractures or broken bones was healed though painfully.
'' Thanks Ed.'' Lily said.
'' Yeah thanks, but what do you we do? He has an arsenal of powers that can negate our own!'' Techlin said.
'' Man I hate this, he just had to have that stupid necklace!'' Dante exclaimed.
'' Necklace? The amulet! We need to take it away from him!'' Eddy said.
'' We were all close enough to grab it and I even reached for it, but it wasn't outward its was in him, he made it melt into his chest so when he showed it was stuck there.'' Techlin said.
'' Maybe we can weaken him, like Techlin said he has an arsenal but what if he used too many of those powers at the same time.'' Double D suggested.
'' It would overload, but how many do we have to make him use at the same time. He could use two at the same time, who says he can't do three or more as well.'' Ed said.
'' Well we're going to find out as here he comes!'' Lily said pointing down the hall to see a giant python snake coming down the hall crushing the walls and making the ceiling fall as it did so.
'' Split up, three that way, three the other way!'' Techlin said as he, Double D, Dante went left and Lily, Ed, and Eddy went right.
Vladimir stopped at where they split up.'' Hmm! Fine they just made it easier to be beaten. A like the strategy Divide and Conquer.''
Vladimir turned back into a snake turning to where Lily, Ed, and Eddy went.'' I'll make sure you all pay dearly!''
