Chapter 14

Powerless

Running desperately down the streets, calling for help of which there is none in sight.

Most of the spells are taught in school, but blood control was never even mentioned. Though it spreads from mouth to mouth the details of the spell are not known to our heroes.

The leaders were in the back while gangsters were chasing our heroes.

The scene of the policemen dropping lifelessly on the ground is still on their minds.

What could they be searching for so desperately that they team up?

There is no time to waste now.

They have their full power and Emily is as strong as ever in this bright sun.

Maybe this time they might have a chance?

Their thoughts were interrupted by four fire beams hitting the barrier.

As they say-the best defense is attack.

Emily fired a beam of light, blinding everyone and bringing two gangsters down.

Although two of a hundred is not very much it is still contribution.

Running for their lives until hitting a dead end with only one little alley to escape.

‘‘You guys should go, I’ll distract them.’’

‘‘Don’t be stupid!’’

‘‘There is no time to whine!’’

Emily tried to stop her, but Thora just jumped back to distract them.

Using her sharp fangs and claws, cutting them up, spitting fire.

All was happening so fast, they weren’t able to react and lost track of Emily and Nick.

It was going well when the leaders came.

When she saw them she immediately launched herself to the rooftops and started running on them.

‘‘Kill her!’’

One of the leaders said with a calm tone.

‘‘Not so easy!’’

Only to be met by Emily’s girly voice.

‘‘And her.’’

Tens of gangsters topped Emily.

100 to 1.

When they all suddenly were stopped in place by a lightning strike.

Loud marching was closing near.

‘‘Do you think we will allow that?’’

It was the officer and the army from Locu and the little chief.

‘‘Now die!’’

An explosion followed soon after.

The army charged in the smoke only to find that no one was there.

The gangs used the smoke to run away.

‘‘Find them now!’’

They had dashed through the alleyway, immobilizing Emily an grabbing her along with them.

Meanwhile.

Thora had found Nick at the end of the alley.

Seeing the explosion Thora became worried for Emily and started running towards the blast, Nick followed after.

When they met up with the gangs.

They tried to fend them off, only to be sent flying in the air.

Thora used that moment to launch back down with ridiculous speeds, casting an explosion spell on impact and making a huge blast.

She caught Nick and the unconscious Emily mid-air and dashed towards the army, which she saw a few seconds ago.

Flying fast her hope was crushed in an instant when:

‘‘Not so fast.’’

She was immobilized in an instant by a gang leader.

Dropping down on the ground, along with Emily and Nick, they were caught by the officer.

‘‘I believe we have unfinished business.’’

The army had surrounded the area so they cannot escape.

They are about equal with 100 to 100.

It will now be a showdown of skill and power, which both sides have.

The officer placed our heroes on the ground and charged in, along with the rest of the division.

Explosions, fire, and lightning were shaping the ground.

The leaders were in the center, surrounded by gangsters.

From there they brought down, soldier by soldier, half of the division.

In a few seconds, more than a hundred men and women were already dead.

The officer and chief were aiming straight for the leaders.

Fast as bullets they landed hits on both of them, but in the process of doing so they were both injured.

3rd degree burns on their hands, now they couldn’t move them.

The only valuable option would be to take Nick, Thora and Emily and retreat.

And so they aimed back to the place where they left them.

Running through the smoke and fire, walking on corpses they finally reached their destination, only to find that they weren’t there anymore.

‘‘THEY ARE GONE! FIND THEM NOW.’’

Shouted the officer while turning around.

Though when he looked back he realized-there was no one there.

Only corpses on the ground.

Seeing this horrifying view his knees crumbled, his jaw was shaking, he fainted. He was…powerless.

Refraining from looking back, the chief took him and flew away.

He called for medics and firefighters.

Not long afterward they arrived.

News spread around town of this incident.

And only within an hour officials announced that Grasvel citizens should be on lookout as the city is no longer deemed secure.

The houses that were blown up contained approximately 300 people.

With no police force law will now have to be enforced by the army guarding the city.

As more and more men were pulled off the gates the outskirts of the city became less and less secure.

Expecting an attack from outside, they weren’t prepared for one from within the city.

Though they knew of the gang’s existence, they didn’t know any numbers or power.

Even worse, they couldn’t have ever thought of them teaming up since they are such great rivals.

Panic spread from house to house as everyone was scared to go outside.

A few hours later Nick wakes up in a dark room.

Trying to stand up he realized that his legs and arms were chained to the wall.

Attempting to remember what happened, he looked around.

To his left and right were Thora and Emily, also chained up.

He could only see due to some light coming from a little window on top of him.

He heard loud footsteps approaching, followed up by a loud screech from a door.

In front of him, he could now make out a figure in the shadow.

It closed the door and turned around to some sort of table.

It leaned on it and grabbed some sort of tool and looked at Nick.

Opening its mouth to make a smile it said in a quiet voice.

‘‘Oh, so you are awake.’’
