League of Kismets: WishboneHeroes

Chapter 13

"Alert, alert, armor has been breached." The walls around the 2nd hallway start vibrating from the soldier charging. He came slamming into Cody, using his body weight to crush him against the concrete wall. Cracks became visible to the naked eye as Cody groaned in pain. It felt as if a semi-truck flew right into him at top speed. The only breath he had was forced from his lungs, breaking Cody's ability to focus. It didn't stop the soldier, for he backed off swiftly while pulling Cody with him. At that moment, Cody got lifted by the soldier with one hand and slung into the air. A second in that reaction, Cody got struck by a blow from the soldier's free hand. Wishalena sprinted down the hallway from the left side. She saw Cody come soaring past him like a rocket. However, through Wishalena's eyes, she could see him moving slowly. It left Wishalena puzzled by what was happening.

She could see the painful reaction on Cody's face. Wishalena reached her hand out to Cody and grabbed him by the collar of his jacket. It didn't take long for them to realize the same speed remained the same, despite things moving slowly toward her. Wishalena felt her body be pulled backward with Cody before regaining her balance. Wishalena's face fell into a mixture of confusion and surprise as she tried pulling Cody away from the other side of the hallway. But it didn't seem to do her any good. The pressure laid on, only moving Cody inches from his original direction. A scream came from behind Wishalena. She turned her attention over and locked eyes with Scruffy. She could see Violet on top of Scruffy, carrying out violent blows. Through Scruffy's defense, she attempted to block her exposed areas but always came up short when the pain escalated through her body. Wishalena shifted her view to the left side of the girls and saw Buster pend down by the soldier. Buster tried to push back against the armored dog. However, to no prevail, the soldier got the upper hand. He reacted in a swift motion and drew a heavy strike into Buster's stomach.

Buster leans over in pain. The pressure shook his body, leaving him almost paralyzed. A second blow came hurling right into Buster's jaw. The soldier's pack of force sent Buster off the floor. His body smacked the ceiling, cracking the roof tiles alongside Buster, screaming in agony. Wishalena's face turned to horror. Sounds of metal raddled violently behind, turning her head to see Cody impacted into extra metal beam supports. His body rested nearby a spare room, with the door locked down. On the other side of the hallway, Wishalena saw a metal shelf raddling. In that second, a heavy crate fell from the top and landed on Cody's right leg. He hollered as the box filled with tool supplies pushed downwards onto the beams, crushing his leg. The damage succeeded with no flaws behind it. Wishalena reached her hand out, expressing a mixture of sorrow and horror. Again, Buster yelled, turning Wishalena's head one last time. She felt stuck in one place as the slow motion started to carry a distorted sound around her.

Wishalena held her head, feeling dizzy. Suddenly, the soldier chucked three blows to Buster's chest and twisted around. He slung Buster onto the ground violently. Buster's body lay there motionless. Violet taking her last hit, she when all in and forced Scruffy into an unconscious state. Her scream came short as her head dropped to the cold floor. Violet paused in silence, shocked by her actions. It didn't take long before a smile crept onto her face. The soldier turned to see Wishalena appearing unstable. He chuckled under his breath, and pulls out his tactical Glock 19, and pointed right towards Wishalena. The soldier's visor carried out a pausing red light before fading into regular blue color. In that second, he pulled the trigger, causing Violet's attention to snap towards the sound. The bullet came soaring through the air at top speed.

Wishalena took her eyes forward and could see the bullet coming her way. The speed remaining the same to the soldier came as a slow-motion movie to Wishalena. Her vision fell into a blur. The distorted sounds became a loud ring as if she when deaf. And for once, Wishalena felt paralyzed by her experience. She tried to understand why this was happening but fell too late. A forceful pressure struck Wishalena's center chest. She flew back, revealing a clear vision in that second. Everything around her was spinning like a tornado, and the moment she made contact with the floor, Wishalena blacked out. Violet's when to silence, unable to make a move from what she watched. The soldier lowered his pistol slowly, raising his head slightly in the air with approval. He turned to Violet and put his gun away. "Get the power back on. I'll handle these four." He said. Violet's heart started racing. She didn't think twice and started walking down the hallway. As she was going to pass by Cody, her feelings changed. Violet stopped and returned a pity reaction as Cody shook his head towards her.
