Angel's Ascension: Heroes of Humanity (Book 11)

Chapter 13: Heating Up

"Max, where was the last time you saw Cheyanne at? We know she has six missions and all are at different places in the country. Which one do we head for?" Glacier asked. She jumped over a lake with a twirl before landing on the surface. The water froze within seconds as the others slid across the freshly frozen water.

"From what I could pick up with Vex, she's on an island off the coast of Cuba. It's a decent sized one that tourists pay to visit on their private time." Maximum replied.

Vex pulled up her shirt over her mouth. "Yes, I can sense three auras separate from hers. Two of them can talk and the other is some kind of giant creature."

Inferno rubbed his chin while flying backward, he stared at the clouds and hummed. "Maybe we won't have to sabotage after all. What do you think, Surge?"

"It doesn't concern me if she fails or not. What does concern me though is if we get caught in the act. Our days as heroes will be a complete joke." Surge narrowed his eyes while zipping across the frozen lake.

"Who will catch us? The cameras won't because we can just tamper with them before the feed even reaches the agency." Glacier scoffed. "All we do is make sure the people get injured, the villains harm Cheyanne, and then we come in to save everything in front of the cameras. It's simple and with Lucy being out of the picture, no one can suspect us of any wrongdoing." She added with a smirk.

Surge exhaled while he faced them. "I just hope you're right about that. Let's make it quick so I don't have to hand any burdens of guilt." A shiver ran down his spine before he winced.

Feels like someone or something is watching us. What could that be? Surge wiped his face and shook his head.

From above the clouds, a tiny airplane descended with Princess and Psy on top of it. They flew over the frozen lake and followed them into a dense forest. The two kept quiet while the wind blew in from the east.

"Feels like we've been tailing them for hours, Princess. How much fuel does this little thing have?" Psy asked.

"Enough for an entire day, I thought it would be worth the extra mental energy if I added that detail. They mentioned the island where Cheyanne is so we'll have to watch out."

Psy swiped at the clouds with her nails. "What about Cheyanne? Shouldn't we call to warn her about them coming?"

Princess bowed her head. "Nah, I don't want her to be worried about them. If we can keep this a secret then we'll be just fine. Plus she can show off to the cameras with all her charm." She giggled.

A sudden dark cloud rolled into them while rain drenched their clothes. Princess held an umbrella up and winced as the winds picked up. The cold air merged with warm air until static formed over them.

"This doesn't look good. The airplane isn't electric proof is it?" Psy asked with a frown.

"N-No, I forgot about that. If we go any lower the lightning will hit us so we better ascend." Princess leaned back as the airplane rose higher into the sky.

Psy stood to her feet and the chainsaw extended in size. "Relax, I'll deal with this. My power is lightning after all!" She soon held the weapon up as static surrounded it and lightning zapped the blade several times. Her body twitched before she swung the chainsaw and a huge bolt of lightning flew out. The dark clouds cleared up as they escaped the sea of clouds.

Princess wiped her brow and exhaled. "Whew, thanks for the save! We should be in the clear now and I think that's the shoreline down there."

Near the beach, Glacier stopped at the tide line and bent down to her knees. She placed both hands flat on the sand and waited for the tide to rush in. Once the water reached her hands, she created an ice bridge over it. The bridge stretched on for miles until she rose to her feet. "This will take us directly to the island. Stay low and don't let anyone know that we were there. If you see a camera pointed in our direction, cut it."
