Fighting Spirit (The Final Barrier)

Shadow's Die Twice

Everyone looked around in awe and confusion

"How did we get here?" Gabriel asked. Adrian thought back on how they all jumped at Judah while he was glowing then ended up here.

"Must've been when we jumped at Judah earlier...At least that's what I think" he said, Kevin, sighed

"Damn...I was expecting an easy mission and now we're halfway across the world" Kevin ruffled his dreads and sighed again "Fuck it, if we ask enough questions around here we should be able to find Judah" silence ensued for a bit as they thought when suddenly strange energy spiked nearby. All of them felt the sensation followed by an explosion, the three of them turned around to see smoke coming from a village just about a mile away. Gabriel entered his flame form with a hum

"In the meantime, we can save some lives," He said as he flew off, Kevin and Adrian transformed and followed his lead. Kevin grabbed Adrian's shoulders and rose into the air. As they neared the village they saw exactly what was happening, a weird octopus-looking creature was attacking a building. Kevin made a face

"Well, you don't see that every day," he said, Gabriel, surveyed the area a couple of citizens are in the way... He thought, Kevin noticed this also and started formulating a plan

"Gabriel, get these people to a safe place while Adrian roughs this thing up; I'll be helping you. When we get everyone to a safe spot we attack this thing and turn it into calamari" Gabriel nodded as he soared off in the direction of a few kids running away screaming. Kevin dropped Adrian and started getting people to safety, like Gabriel, Adrian landed in front of the octopus and entered his rage mode. He squeezed his fist and walked towards the creature with intent to kill, the octopus creature noticed him and stopped destroying things. It growled as it gazed at Adrian, then with no hesitation, it lunged forward at. He took a deep breath right before the creature crushed him with its body, then he gathered all of his power into his fist and punched it. There was a huge gust of wind that blew debris and dirt in a mile radius all around him. The octopus creature stood perfectly still now with a hole in its head where Adrian's punch landed. The color drained from the octopus creature and left it looking a translucent white color, Adrian looked at his hand in disgust as a green thick liquid clung to his knuckles.

"Fucking squid nut," he said as he flung the green fluids off of his fist. Kevin hovered over the ground behind Adrian carrying a toddler

"Whoa, you got it!" he said, Adrian smirked

"Yeah, I think I'm getting the hang of my rage mode," he said, the toddler in Kevin's arms started babbling reminding him that he had to find the kid's parents. Gabriel walked up from behind the dead octopus creature looking it up and down

"What the hell is this thing," Gabriel asked, Adrian, shrugged

"I don't necessarily know, I'm not getting demon vibes" Kevin started thinking Waitun, you know what this thing is? Surprisingly there was no reply. Kevin sighed

"Of all times to be silent" Kevin surveyed the landscape and saw some citizens walking out of their hiding spots. The toddler Kevin was holding started squirming in his arms as an elderly woman approached him, Kevin gently put the child down so he could walk to her. The woman smiled and gave the child the warmest of hugs

"I'm so glad you're safe," she said. Gabriel, Kevin, and Adrian walked up to them before she noticed, the elderly woman looked up slowly then smiled

"Thank you, you saved my grandson," she said squeezing him tightly. The three boys smiled back

"Ummm it's really no problem at all," Adrian said to her. The woman shook her head

"Nope, that won't do at all" She grabbed Gabriel by the hand and started pulling him along "Follow me, I'll fix you all dinner"
