《The Children of thunder》Chapter Twenty-eight
Advertisement
The sentinel barreled toward Obiora and plowed unto his midriff with its shoulders, Obiora huffed as he was lifted up and the robot began to squeeze, with a roar he raise both his clasped fists up and smashed down on the sentinel's exposed shoulders. The impact buckled it nearly unto it's knees, stunned, it dropped Obiora who hurled punches at the Sentinel's armoured chest in rapid succession sending chirps of metal flying, the robot's visor gleamed as Obiora stopped his attack and backpedalled knowing what was coming, the laser beam gained the Sentinel a moment respite as Obiora took to the air, with a roar he will up the largest flame he'd ever created and flung it down at the robot.
It recovered quickly, it's mechanical arm whirled and the hand was replaced by a foot long chain saw. Obiora dodged a swing meant to decapitate him, pivoted around a round house kick, he then grabbed the sentinel around the waist in a supplex hold and heaved.
The sentinel flailed it's arms in vain as it swung over Obiora's head and shoulders to slam against the floor as pieces of it's armour went flying. But Obiora was not done, with a roar of someone in frenzy, and a great sweep of his wings he rose up the ceiling length and then dived kamikaze style straight unto the still prone sentinel.
The resounding explosion no doubt must have been felt all through the institute as Obiora staggered out from the smoke and ruined machine, triumphant but drained as shango's spirit left him.
Suddenly; the entire room shook with another explosion as Obiora was sent flying away from the door head over heels. Doctor Mugabe glided in like an avenging spectral, led by a heavily armored Askari holding a large gun, which must have been responsible for clearing Obiora easily out of the way, his cohorts of fellow doctors and more armed Askaris followed in his wake.

For a full minute he stood snaring at the children with eyes clouded with malice.
"I tire of you lot and your self-vindictive atrocities," he croaked, "this institute is your beginning and your ending, but if you for once think you were all too valuable to be disposed of, to God who made me, you’re wrong. Too much is at stake to let you destroy everything we have built all this years, you see things in black and white, you think you’re justified. Or you think yourselves Heroes? Unique?’’
he laughed maniacally.
"That is not how the world works children, the meek don’t inherit it anymore, let me show you how unfair life is.’’
On saying this, he drew a gun from an Askari’s holster, aimed at Amaka and fired.
The silence after the loud clap of the gunshot was ominous, they stared dazed as Amaka gasped, a hand held her bleeding stomach, the other stretched towards the stunned children, as if in supplication.
Then she collapsed as Binta dashed to break her fall.
"Behold, the flea say, I hurt the dog; alas it knows not that in hurting its host, it hurts too. Undone by rash judgment, at last, the long awaited mistake is made. Thus the spirit of Edi; whisperer of undoing has involved himself, Aséní sé ara è.’’ Shango chant in Yoruba.
As if on cue, Babybaby wailed like a banshee.
"you've killed her," she shrieked repeatedly between sobs, her body shook with rage as the doctors drew back in alarm, her pupils dilated and flashed colors.
"Somebody put that child down.’’ Doctor Mugabe’s yelled in alarm.
Just then, they felt a tremor rolled through the entire building, sweeping everyone off his/her feet as huge chunks of debris rained from above and around.

Babybaby’s dread ability has activated.
Struggling back on her feet, Omotola coughed as she peered through the thick dust searching for her; she saw her standing over Amaka’s body, her screams rising in volume, her body vibrating as peals of shockwaves pursed from her, throwing back an Askari as he attempted a tackle.
Two things happened at once as Babybaby’s cry finally cuts off abruptly as she then slumped in a heap.
A crack snaked through the floor towards Shango’s cage, the dam split and busted open like coconut and then the whole chamber was barred in burnished steel as the emergency lockdown activated, locking them in with an avenging deity.
The doctors stared in horror as Shango rose calmly from his sitting posture, extended an arm, brushed aside the steel bars of his cage as easily as if he was parting beaded curtain, and leapt down gracefully, he ignored everyone as he stretched his limbs lazily, cramped bones snapped as he groaned.
Finally, he took a deep breath and looked down at them all, cruel eyes glinting like live coal, he does not look happy.

Awakening an ancient civilization from their past may be their only hope now.

However, there are several moments that are extremely violent. I've always loved shows/movies such as, (The Expanse, The Boys, Banshee, Kingdom of heaven, Vikings, Attack on Titan, Baccano, etc.) I am descriptive of the scenes with violence. So be warned :) I've worked long and hard and have finally finished my third draft. Still needs work but everything storywise is complete. There are still a few things I need to add and tweak. Grammatical errors and flushing out the characters and dialogue still needs work. If you see any errors or plot holes, please feel free to point them out. It helps me improve upon the story.

The Magitons
Book 3 of the Universe Series This novel continues the adventure from the previous novel, Ocean of Dreams. Each novel is meant to stand alone. Widhbo ( pronounced "wee bow") is a MC who will be in each of the six novels in the main series. The starship Sora had been hurtling through space using its FTL propulsion system toward the Dezba star system for over a decade since leaving the planet Beldora of the Hellsaxe system. The Sora had crash landed on Beldora over a century earlier carrying a couple of aliens from another dimension. The ship came from the Borrugal Realm, a band world associated with what was known as the Tor Galaxy, what we call the Milky Way. Human life on Beldora was never the same. Under the influence of the alien known as Widhbo, Beldora was catapulted from the steam age to the space age. The majority of the scientific advances on Beldora were attributed to the leadership of a brilliant man, Jejliard Castonea, who was secretly manipulated by the alien, Widhbo. When rapid advances in technology inadvertently led to a nuclear war, Jejliard decided to evacuate his family, friends and co-workers on the Sora. The plan was to find a new habitable planet and rebuild civilization until they could safely return home. Much to his despair, Jejliard’s family and friends opted to stay on Beldora to ride out the war underground. Even the other alien, Gengor, stayed behind. Borrowing technology stored in the archives of the Sora, Widhbo managed to transfer the personalities of those staying on the planet into digital storage units known as magitons which could survive indefinitely in cold, sterile space. Living crew members who elected to stay on board the Sora were also uploaded to ensure immortality for everyone in case their life support systems failed en route. Widhbo sought to design a cyber paradise for everyone inside their virtual worlds, but things never go as planned where Widhbo is concerned.
