Immunity Fire

Chapter 38

"How are we gonna get back in time?!" Lucas exclaimed as they were running outside.

"I don't know," Alex mumbled.

"Little Blue!" Zain cried out and Little Blue sped up the mountain and was right beside them, "We need your help to get to the camp before Rorgoth does." Little Blue took them and sped out of the mountain.

The camp was having a bright hot sunny day while everyone was at their Lunching Hour. They all were delivered ice cold orange juice with half cut oranges used as cups.

Suddenly they noticed the pale blue sky begin to disappear; and stormy clouds covered every ounce of blue until there was nothing but darkness. Winds blew the tents away and destroyed most of the dorms. Some of the grounds began to crack. Trees began to fall and land on some buildings. Some buildings caught fire and all the defences were destroyed. Floods began to rise from the ocean and destruct the camp even further. Everyone ran and couldn't find a place to hide.

Dark mists appeared from the clouds and appeared large wraiths. They all had two swords and began to attack them all. The trainers fought them as they were protecting the trainees. They unfortunately seemed to be stronger somehow; they couldn't be killed.

Little Blue has finally arrived with Alex, Zain, Lucas, and Natalie; but they weren't alone. Right behind them were the Sabretooth Panthers, Hounding Leopards, Chimeras, and Flathers.

"Get them!" Alex cried out; then his army of creatures charged for the wraiths.

The Flathers killed ten of them; for they seem to hate fire. One Hounding pounced over one burning wraith and took a few bites while it made a horrendous scream; it seemed as though they hated fire because it destroys their invulnerability so that they are easy to kill.

The fires in the camp seemed to grow. Everyone killed the wraiths as soon as they caught fire.

One girl rode a Sabretooth Panther and charged at a few burning wraiths. The Panther pounced and killed and scraped multiples of them.

Little Blue created lightning from the sky and commanded it to strike twenty of them and they all exploded into nothingness. Zain was right by her side.

Alex and Natalie were back to back being surrounded by non-burnt wraiths.

"Anyone!" Alex screamed, "A little help here!" Then an invisible Flather ran around the wraiths until they all caught fire and as it unleashed its furious visibility, they exploded but Alex and Natalie flew across them and landed on the ground unpleasantly. "We gotta find a source of fire!"

"Grenades?" Natalie answered.

"Yeah! Let's go!" They charged off.

Lucas was running away from a wraith until he stopped and saw a school of Furies come flying towards the camp, "Oh hell no!"

Alex and Natalie found the stash of grenades. They were grabbing some until they saw the Furies. Natalie took her bow and arrow. The Furies were flying over her and Alex. She took as many shots as possible and killed at least thirty of them.

Things started to get a little worse. Natalie began to notice by the archery range that Madam Trixine was trying to kill her Angel Flies because a Fury destroyed their cages. Lots of them were escaping until some of the fighters accidently took a gaze at them until the wraiths gave them an easy stab. Natalie ran towards Madam Trixine, "Madam! The Angel Flies! We gotta kill them quickly!"

"Go and kill as much as you can! I'll deal with the Furies!"

Natalie ran to the battlefield. As she was running, she noticed the Garcy Sisters, were lying dead together. She saw Gormo Tellermack surrounded by non-burnt wraiths. She ran to him and threw a grenade; but it was too late; the wraiths stabbed him multiple times. She activated a grenade and threw it from behind, exploding the chasing wraiths. "Zain! Watch out! There are Angel Flies behind you!" Zain ran away trying to keep his head down. Natalie took her bow and shot all of the twenty flies that were after Zain.

Alex constantly kept throwing grenades and heard multiple screams from the wraiths. He took out burning wraiths from the side and one approaching him from behind. Once all the wraiths were off his back, he noticed Barlows fighting the Furies alone. He had a golden staff the he whirled around and stabbed them; there were daggers at the ends of the staff. Furies were getting chopped up like a bunch of vicious crows. Alex ran to Barlows's aid and fought alongside him.

The battle was won; but there wasn't much to celebrate. Lots of lives were lost. The whole camp was destroyed. All there was were smoke and debris and ash falling from the sky. The survivors were crying for the fallen. The buildings were shattered with broken cement, metals, and stone. Not one ounce of life was left in the camp. There was nowhere to go in the island; nowhere but home.

A dark mist flew down to them. Rorgoth revealed himself and everybody gasped with fear. "This is what you all wanted isn't it?!" Rorgoth cried out, "You all wanted to past this day so that you can defeat me at the right place at the right time! Your war has begun; thanks to your Immunity Saviour!"

Everyone stared at Alex. They couldn't believe it. All hope was lost. They trusted him to prevent a war from commencing yet he was the one to start it all.

Alex felt guilty; guilty for not knowing that his own father has set him up to lead a war. He felt it was his fault that he chose to resurrect Rorgoth without knowing so just so he can save one human life at the price of millions. He should have listened to Natalie; meddling around with the balances between life and death came at a price.

He found it hard that the death of a maiden is what started it all; all because of a poisonous accident; an irresponsibility. He wondered maybe he is just like his father; selfish, reckless and careless; trying to do what's right when he started to make things worse. How could he live with himself? Learning that he was destined for a burden no one would ever want to bear. He wanted to take back the mistake, but he would have had to sacrifice Zain for it; he simply didn't know how he could figure this one out; he managed to fix his wrongdoings in the Bronze City, but this isn't one he can simply get out of. This isn't just a matter of the Bronze City; it is of the whole world. Barlows made the world depend on him and he somehow found a way to let them down; henceforth letting Barlows done; but Barlows also has let him down.

"Come Alex," Barlows said, "We must leave quickly. The island isn't safe anymore."

Alex followed Barlows whilst everyone was staring at him with fury. Zain, Lucas, and Natalie ran to them and joined them.

"Where are we going?" Alex asked.

"Somewhere safe; where we can hide until we are ready."
