Elitists: The Dying Light

Chapter 4

 "How is she?" Andrew asked as Alice walked out of the infirmary.

"Tired and has broken ribs that are partially healed, torn gastrocnemius muscle in both legs, and even a sprained ankle," Alice stated. "What happened out there tonight?"

"I controlled strong winds and threw her against a tree where she hit her ribs, breaking at least two of them," Andrew told his mother. "I shot a single bolt of lightning that most likely would've killed her if it hit. I'm still working on that attack."

"But that doesn't explain what happened to her legs," Alice stated, crossing her arms and giving her son a disappointed mother's look.

"She used an Ultimate Attack, mom," Andrew stated, 'Lunar's Dance' is what I think she called it. Busted me up a little bit, but nothing I couldn't handle."

"So, she lost because of her Ultimate Attack," Alice concluded. "She hasn't been given proper training yet, so she can't use it without becoming this injured." Alice frowned thoughtfully. "I guess I'd have to call him sooner than I thought."

"Who?"

Alice and Andrew turned around with the latter asking, "Why are you here Jay? I thought that you'd be asleep by now."

"Couldn't sleep," Jayden replied, scratching the back of his head, "So I came to check up on Diana."

"She's healing, but I'm afraid that I don't know her powers well enough to determine how long it'd take for her to be fully healed," Alice replied. "Which is why I'm going to call the man who trained the two of you."

"Mr. Wolf?!" the two brothers exclaimed.

"Yes," Alice began. "Mr. Wolf will train her and you two will continue your training. Since Purgatory is still out there, I want the two of you to be ready for your next meeting."

Jayden put a hand on his ribcage where a scar, that was given to him by Purgatory himself, was located. Anger then flashed through the teen's eyes as he remembered the feeling of a sword of pure darkness piercing his skin, it then slashing towards his back, and leaving a terrible wound; a wound that he would have succumbed to if it were not for RJ Wolf, a True Elemental.

"Call him," Andrew ordered, bringing Jayden out of his thoughts. "We'll get ready for bed."

Alice smiled sadly as she watched her eldest son walk back to his room, still holding his side as if he was just injured. She remembered seeing her firstborn bleeding out in the sand, but not before giving the same scar to Purgatory, just on the other side of the ribcage. She then took out her phone and dialed a number that she memorized years prior before calling the one who trained her and her sons.

"Hey, RJ. It's me, Alice. I need you to restart my sons' training and begin the training of another Elitist named Diana Crescent... Wait, you knew that Diana was the one called Eclipse? How?... You have your sources?" Alice sighed. "Alright. Fine, RJ. Be a secretive mutt. But will you help?... Thank you... You'll be here tomorrow? How? RJ? RJ?" Alice sighed once again as she glanced at her phone. "And he hung up. Why does he always do this?"

Shaking her head, she turned out the lights in the infirmary located beneath her home and headed to the elevator before heading up to her room for a night's sleep.

A middle-aged man wearing a pair of blue jeans, a green shirt, worn leather boots, and a leather jacket with the head of a jackal on the back, placed his phone in his pocket as he glanced around the building he was in. He then glanced at people that appear to have bright, crimson red eyes and bone plating on different parts of their bodies.
