Power Struggle

Chapter Twenty-Six

  Once the group reached the abandoned building Sera was shocked to see the state if the inside.

  "I got here minutes after Alro came here for you, and I beat every mid tier present into oblivion." John said before Sera could respond.

  "So thats why it looks like someone let their rage out in here." Taz said.

  "Yeah, and if we don't want this building to come down on top of us I suggest somebody starts talking." John said looking at Terrence.

  "I don't know what you want." Terrence said, despite knowing exactly what they wanted.

  "Bullshit!" John yelled as he punched a hole in the closest wall.

  "I suggest you start talking." Shannon said,  "none if us can really stop him if he decides to kill you."

  "What do you want?" Terrence asked.

  "Information." It was the only thing Taz would say while the girls were present.

  "What kind?" Just then Elaine showed up.

  "Ah good your here, now I can start breaking bones." John said cracking his knuckles.

  "Please no!" Terrence pleaded.

  While it was obvious Elaine wanted nothing to do with this, she knew why she was there and how important getting Terrence to talk was. Next to Isen and Blyke she was the only nonroyal who had Information from the Headmaster.

  "No no no please no!" Terrence yelled as John bent one of his fingers backward resulting in a loud crack and a sharp scream of agony.

  "Wrong answer." John said standing up. "Unfortunately for you there are still nine fingers left unbroken."

  "You can't do this! The Headmaster will hear about this! Wellston will hear about this!"

  "Wrong again." John said snapping another one of Terrence's fingers like a twig. "Besides, what is anyone going to care when they find out what your end goal is."

  "I don't know what you're talking about-" another finger.

  "Seven left. Then I move to toes."

  "But-"

  Crack

  "Ahh fuck that one really hurt."

  "That's the point." John grabbed another finger.

  "Wait please."

  "Tell us what we want to know."

  "But I don't know what you want to know"

  Snap.

  "God fuck!" Terrence screamed as the bone snapped in two. "What the hell do you want to know?"

  "What are your plans for Wellston?"

  "To graduate!" Terrence yelled. John broke another of his fingers.

  "Bullshit. Otherwise you wouldn't have been gathering intel on every high tier at the school!"

  "How do you know about that?"

  "Our rat."

  "Isen you mother fucker!" Snap.

  "You're running out of fingers. And trust me. You don't want me to move on from them.

  "Fuck you." Snap.

  "For a second year you lasted longer then I expected. I'll  give you that, but with only two fingers left I'll  have to move on soon." John said.

  "But I haven't done anything!"

  Snap.

  "You fucking admitted you gathered intel on every high tier at Wellston."

  "But that because your all so rare and Wellston has so many-"

  Snap.

  "Welp, looks like your all out of fingers, looks like I move on to toes." John said.

  "Wait-" Terrence said as John pulled off Terrence's shoe.

  "Yeah your right I should wait for the toes." He said grabbing a board. "I should cap you." He swung the board at Terrence's knee. Terrence screamed in pure agony as the joint snapped and his leg bent in a direction it should never be able to bend.

  "I can't watch this anymore." Sera said. She didn't want to see her boyfriend reverting back to joker.

  "Your dismissed." John said. "Shannon, Elaine go with her."

  The three girls left the old house.

  "Sera." Shannon said when they were all outside. "Thats not John, thats what you all know as Joker."

  "Doesn't matter." Sera said as she final broke, letting the tears pour down her face. "I don't, no I can't see my boyfriend like that."

  "Dont worry Sera, we will make sure he doesn't revert back." Elaine said as another sharp cry of pain sounded from inside. Despite the torture going on inside the house the girls continued to calm Sera down.

  Inside the house Terrence was bleeding badly. All of his fingers were broken, his knees shattered, and Taz had just broke his nose.
 
  "None of the girls are here now, we can make this look real ugly now." Taz said wiping the blood off his hand with a rag he had on him.

  "Ah, I know how to make him talk." John said activating his ability. Taz did the same. "If he wont talk, then we simply unman him."

  "Wait what are-" Terrence said.

  John raised his arm and pointed towards Terrence's crotch. A dark navy blue orb appeared at the tip of his finger. "You got three seconds or you can say goodbye to your manhood."

  Taz smiled. "If he doesn't talk after that shot, how about you send one up his ass, make him a real girl."

  "Good idea, I might just have to do that. "

  "Wait! I'll answer all your questions! Just please don't shoot!"

  "Told you he'd squeal like a pig when you threatened him like that." John said.

  Terrence began to answer the questions that John and Taz had for him, but one thing made the boys nervous.

  "It goes by the name of Project Phoenix."

  "Project Phoenix?" Taz said hesitantly.

  "Yes, Project Phoenix. And we have plans for all of you. Especially you John. Especially you.

"Girls, you can come on back in here, we got him talk, and I think you should hear what he has to say.

  The girls hesitant and slowly reentered the building. What Terrence would say next ran chills down everyone's spine.
