Chapter 40 Destruction: Final Battle

Zayn's Pov

I was clearing away debris while Niall fought Slin just a few yards ahead of me when the building came down on him from one Mala's of boulder sized rocks. He didn't have enough time to run.

"Niall!" I shouted just as I watch him duck to cover himself, his lightening bright and sizzling before it was snuffed out by debris and thick black dust. I sprinted in the direction of him, thrusting my hand out with my power flowing.

My telekinesis was strong, lifting most of the debris. I flung it away with a flick of my wrist, the black dust cloud quickly drifting over and drowning me. I covered my mouth and nose, waving a hand over my head to launch it away.

It worked, the clear sky hitting my eyes once more and I took a huge gulp of fresh air as I reached the spot where I think Niall could be. But there was a problem.

The whole side of the building was down by my feet right where he was. I grunted lifted my hands up as I shifted my feet. It was almost like I was picking up the building itself, the bricks, various of objects and other shit floating in my hold. My head pounded as I lifted it, the weight bearing on my shoulders but the only thought running through my mind was to get Niall out from under there.

"Niall?!" I yelled through clenched teeth. "Can you hear me?!"

My arms shook as I held the half torn building with my telekinesis, my head pounding like someone was smashing something against it.

I heard spluttered coughing. "I can hear you."

I nearly cried out from hearing the Irish accent.

"Climb out. Can you see the light?" I called back with a pant. I didn't get an answer back for a moment and I started to panic but then I saw his gloved hand poking out in the sun. He gripped the ground and dragged himself out from underneath the building.

When he was fully out, he looked up at me with panting breaths and blood dripping from a gash to his brow and nodded. I shook with exertion but leaned my hands back a bit before shooting them forward, the half torn building launching into the side of another abandoned one.

I panting heavily, lowering my hands to my sides before turning to face Niall. I took him in quickly, to make sure he wasn't badly injured. He had many cuts to his arms and legs, skin poking through along with a bit of blood along with his gash. I sighed in relief to see nothing looked to serious.

"You alright, mate?" I asked nonetheless, hoping nothing was hurting from the inside.

He glanced at me before slowly sitting up. "I'm ok. Thanks."

I nodded before helping him up to his feet when he held out his hand.

A wild yell shattered through the air then and we broke away to see Slin lunging for us. My hand was shooting forward and launching him back into the sky before he could blink.

Niall gave a breathless chuckle before he turned to me. "I'll help you get rid of the debris and save some more people trapped in these buildings before he comes back."

I gave him grateful nod before we turned away with serious eyes to start our search, calling out for any people trapped in the buildings before us that were destroyed by Mala and Slin.

Liam's Pov

My breaths were burning my lungs as I swung Mala's rocks away from people still running and escaping from buildings that still had trapped people. I could see Zayn and Niall heading towards us to the buildings that were knocked down.
