Teenagers Mafia Affairs

Chapter 32

After several failed attempts, Harumi managed to push Jay and Lloyd off before sprinting up the basement stairs.

Without hesitation, the others raced after her, as she ran through the open doors and past the barrier. Skylor, Seliel, Zane and Morro went after them. Pixal had to stay behind, as did Wu and Misako.

As they chased after her, the guards managed to follow after too. Skylor stopped, as Harumi continued sprinting off, "She's heading for the Palace," she realised, "To the Palace! Now!"

Seliel grabbed her arm and hauled her back, "Are you crazy?! That place is gonna be swarming with guards, and you wanna storm in, guns blazing?"

"Who are we even fighting?" Jay whined, "We have the Royal Family on our asses, and to top that, Kai's crazy ex fiancé is wreaking havoc on us! No offense, Kai."

Kai grunted, "None taken, but just think of what would happen if Harumi manages to overthrow the Jades."

Nya gently placed a hand on her shoulder, "Sky, the Jades are a screwed up family. They're trying to take down the people that actually have a chance to protect. Do you think the cops would be able to handle it? We were chosen to protect, and that's exactly what we're going to do."

"We're not gonna kill the Jades, we're gonna...send them on a vacation to Kryptarium..." Lloyd explained, pulling his sword out, "And maybe try to stop Harumi."

The redhead nodded, and looked ahead. Lloyd cleared his throat, "All right, travel in groups, just to be on the safe side. Morro, Zane, we'll go and keep the guards busy. Jay, Nya, Cole, the three of you sneak into the Palace and get the Jades. Kai, Skylor, Seliel, find Harumi. Got it?"

They all nodded and dispersed in said groups upon their arrival at the Palace

Morro signalled to Zane and Lloyd, and they snuck forward, silently taking the guards out one by one. The other six clambered up the high wall, and jumped onto palace grounds, before splitting up.

"Psst, in here." Cole gestured for the other two to join him, as he pushed one of the large windows open, and slipped in, followed by Nya, then Jay.

Landing on the carpeted grounds, they looked around. It was a bedroom. The four-poster bed was neatly made, with green sheets, green pillowcases, and a small teddy resting on the middle of the bed. A variety of branded, untouched perfume bottles were laid out across the dresser, along with several expensive makeup pallets.

"I'm betting you, this is the princess' room." Nya muttered, playing with the curtains. Jay quietly pushed open one of the two double-doors and peered out at the empty corridor, "Coast is clear. Let's roll."

Pulling out his scythe, Cole led them on, creeping down the corridor before stopping. Nya frowned, "What?"

"Floorboards. It'll probably creak. We gotta be careful."

"Unless..." Nya glanced around, before sprinting to a large bookshelf. Placing a foot on it, she pulled herself up, until she reached the top, where a vent was. Jay shook his head, "It won't work, it's bolted down."

"You two might wanna grab onto something." Summoning his glowing fists, he punched down onto the ground, sending a large shock throughout the palace. The three of them could hear panicked shouts coming from other rooms.

"Since when did you have elemental powers?" Jay and Nya were shocked, Elemental masters have been dead for years. They've been banned from the city.

"Ever since my father died, it got passed to me but now not the time!"

As soon as they got down on the floor, all three of them got snatched by the guards, the guards knocking them out cold.

From the other side of the palace, Kai groaned, "This is their brilliant plan to take the Jades? They've probably spooked them into hiding! Okay, once we find Harumi, what are we gonna do?"

Skylor held up a pair of vengestone cuffs, "This is our only hope."

Seliel took them and slipped it into her pocket, "We'll swap around every once in a while, so either way at least two of us have access to our powers."

"Sounds like a plan..where did Kai go?" Seliel says as Skylor looks around for Kai..he was nowhere to be seen?

Where has he gone now?
