TYRALIUM

Chapter 9

Akalo sighed, "This is bad. Desmond is a Titan, right?"

"Yeah, and he has a power Limuel can really use to his advantage." I said, worried.

"What's that?" Akalo asked.

"He's an Oracle." Ramson answered.

"Well, half Oracle." I corrected "But it's still a problem."

"This is bad." A guy by the name of Philip who joined us at the Diary today, said out of frustration.

"We've to retrieve him immediately." Nick said "Good thing I managed to stick a tracker on em."

"Do you stick a tracker on anyone?" I asked him.

"Of course. I've even got one on you. I'm am agent, what d'you expect?" Nick shrugged his shoulders.

"We can't just go." Nathaniel said "We need Titans. Yeah, Limuel had Titans this whole time. That's how he managed to capture us."

"No problem." Philip said "I'm a Titan myself. We'll send the other Titans on their way."

"Akalo, how many have we got?" Nick asked.

"Well, 2 died from the alien attack last 4 months in Chicago, so . . ."

"Alien attack?" I asked cutting Akalo out.

"Yeah. In Chicago." Philip chuckled "I know, crazy, right? We couldn't stop them, though, and they managed to get away with about 6 Titans from the high school."

"Oh." I realised.

"So . . ." Akalo continued "We've got 2 more Titans besides you, Philip."

"Let's move out." Nick said hurrying to the exit of the Diary.

We followed him to the garage. Within minutes we were out of the Agency, and back on solid ground, which I'd missed so much.

We had two huge white and black cars. Nathaniel, and I sat in the white car with Nick as the driver, and Philip and Ramson sat in the black car with Akalo as the driver.

We drove, and drove, following the tracking device. Throughout the whole drive, anxiety, fright, and curiosity spread over everyone's faces.

We had a good ride for some time, until a wall suddenly rose from the ground in front of us. Both cars crushed into the wall, and got damaged.

"What's the meaning of this?" Nick said getting out of the car with his gun.

We all stood out, wondering where the wall came from, until Nathaniel gasped.

"What?" I asked him.

"Three men, standing quite a distance behind the wall." He answered.

"How can you see it?" Akalo asked.

"He's a Titan." Ramson answered "He sees through stuff."

"Okay. What do we do?" Philip asked "They're probably Titans."

"We've no choice. We fight." Akalo answered "Nick, Nathaniel and I will go for Desmond. The rest, hold them back."

Akalo jumped back into the car with Nick and Nathaniel, leaving Philip, Ramson and I behind.

As they drove away, a boulder flew for the car, but it got stopped by a purple shield.

A man, and a girl, probably a teenager, suddenly appeared in front of the shield.

The wall suddenly went back into the ground, and now I could clearly see the five men who stood in front of us.

"Get ready for anything, kids." Philip said causing two kunai swords appear in his both arms.

The man and the girl who saved Akalo's car teleported in front of us.

"We late?" The girl asked.

"No. Right on time." Philip answered.

"Who are these?" The man asked.

"Ramson and Jraidson." Philip answered "They have the Tyralium."

"Oh. I'm Shiyah. That's Drake." The teenage girl introduced.

Immediately, the men dispersed, running for us.

Shiyah disappeared, and Philip threw his kunai swords. Philip's kunai swords were stopped by a gushing wind, caused by one of the men.

Ramson and I just started shooting purple fire out, since that was the only thing we'd learnt about the Tyralium.

The fight was terrible. Fortunately, there were no Humans around to worry about.

As I kept looking around for any Human in danger, one of the men jumped in between Ramson and I.

He threw his arm to punch, but I duck, while Ramson smashed the guy's back. I managed to thrust and punch through the guy's stomach, and Ramson managed to give him another powerful punch, to send the guy jerking backwards unto the ground.

"Men, we are killing it." Ramson said bringing his arm up for a hi five.

"Sweet moves!" I said taping in.

Then Shiyah appeared in front of us, "Let's go." She said.

"What about the others?" I asked her.

"They're fine." She answered "Hold hands."

"Why?" I asked.

"You talk too much. Just do as I say." She said taking my arm in hers.

She looked at me, and I looked back at her. For some seconds, we just stayed silent and gazed into each other's eyes.

"What's going on?" Ramson asked, and Shiyah and I looked away.

I took Ramson's arm in mine avoiding his question.

Then we disappeared.
