Third Wish: volume Two

Episode 33: Phoenix brigade

Romeo and Sonny had been wandering around the school for nearly half an hour now, searching for any sign of Romeo's father, Omar. Just as they were about to give up and head back to their dorms, they heard voices coming from around the corner, voices that didn't belong to Omar.

Curious, they crept closer, trying to remain hidden as they listened in on the conversation. But just as they were about to get a better look, they were grabbed from behind and dragged into a nearby closet.

It took a moment for their eyes to adjust to the darkness, but soon they could make out the familiar figure of Omar standing in front of them. "I'm sorry for the rough handling, boys," he said, releasing his grip on them. "But I had to act fast. Those were members of the Swine Mafia, and they're after me."

Romeo and Sonny exchanged worried glances. The Swine Mafia was notorious. If they were after Omar, that meant he was in serious danger.

"What are we going to do?" Sonny asked, his voice shaking with anger.

Omar took a deep breath and squared his shoulders. "We need to get out of here and contact the authorities. They're not going to stop until they get what they want, and we need to be ready to defend ourselves."

Romeo and Sonny nodded in agreement, their hearts pounding with adrenaline as they followed Omar out of the closet and back into the hallway. They moved quickly and quietly, trying to avoid detection as they made their way towards the exit.

Just as they were almost to the door, the Swine Mafia members appeared around the corner, their weapons at the ready. Omar didn't hesitate. He quickly began to chant a spell, and soon his shadow began to expand and take on a life of its own.

The Swine Mafia members were caught off guard by Omar's shadow magic, and they stumbled backward.

The Swine Mafia members blocked the school highway, making it impossible for Romeo, Sonny, and Omar to escape without a fight. Without hesitation, Romeo took the lead, chanting a powerful incantation. Flames appeared around him, expanding as he stretched out his hand. Flames shot out towards the enemies, engulfing them in bright, scorching flames.

Sonny summoned his golden light sword and charged towards the Swine Mafia members, dodging their attacks. Sonny was lightning-quick with his sword, or so it seemed. The golden light from his sword reflected, blinding the Swine Mafia. He spun around, his sword glinting as it sliced through the air and struck its target.

Omar stood in front of Sonny and Romeo, taking on multiple enemies with his own magical abilities. He recited a spell with intense focus and precision, and water appeared out of nowhere, wrapping around his enemies and squeezing them until they fell unconscious. The water turned black and solidified, shadow magic mixing in and suffocating their movements.

Meanwhile, the Swine Mafia soldiers regrouped and began firing raining crossbow bolts down on the trio. Romeo saw them and used his fire magic to create a wall of flames, shielding his allies from the deadly arrows. Sonny used this opportunity to run towards the enemies and cut their crossbows in half with his sword, leaving them helpless.

The Swine Mafia members had never faced such fierce opposition before, and they were quickly losing ground. Romeo, Sonny, and Aiden fought with their lives on the line, with magic and swords clashing in a deadly symphony. The cries of defeated enemies echoed through the highway as the trio emerged victorious at last.

Exhausted, Romeo, Sonny and Aiden looked over the battlefield, feeling relieved and victorious despite their battle wounds.

The hallway was silent, save for the heavy breathing of Romeo, Sonny, and Omar. The battle had left them all breathless, filled with adrenaline and fear. Romeo looked to his father with concern etched on his face.
