A Crumbling Society

Part 3-29

Taking in the entire moment, playing her screams in my head, I finally felt like things were right. I got my revenge, and it was amazing, the way she died just now, it had only been imaginable before. Happening in front of me was truly incredible too, I did it, but then it was over. The two minutes of glory turned into being ripped from where I was standing. Being tossed into the ruins of what was once Wecker City and skipping like a rock on water, I was confused. I figured the villains would stop, turns out I was wrong and there was more. Sliding to a stop I coughed out some blood. Smoke was clearing and it was hard to stand back up at first, but then I was good once I healed. Checking the area around me it was a bit hard to see, soon his body strode right in with ease. "Did you forget me?", he asked, and I couldn't believe it, landing in front of me was Obliterator. How he got here or even knew what was going on was beside me. He is probably the only one that I wasn't actually able to defeat and needed Mega to fight instead. Thinking about her reminded me that she was dead, and the thought of what I was going to do stuck itself in my mind. Putting my hands up to cast got a negative reaction from behind me. "Ah, ah, ah,", he said as the presence grew stronger, looking back I saw Antakarta. How was he not dead by now, and what is going on, why am I here? Answering my questions without knowing I was thinking them Obliterator spoke. "After you and your friends left me at Xicot Prison I found another way out. That ice was a nice buffer for trapping me, but the walls were paper thin with my powers. Blasting a hole in the concrete floors gave me access to the outside ground, so I dug myself out. Of course, I killed my way through multiple guards and the puny pests that didn't understand I was stronger. When I got here my friend over there needed my assistance. Your demons aren't immune to laser eyes, especially radioactive ones, killing them was easy. Now we're here and I can't way to pay you back for the prison, and I think he has more to gain out of it than I do". Obliterator pointed slightly to Antakarta with a slight head nod. A smile grew on his face when being mentioned and he placed a fist in his opposite hand.

Trying to fly away I lunged upward, springing off the ground at such speed, I needed to think. At a close range like that, the two of them would tear me apart easily and there's no surviving that. My brain filed through what spells would work and which ones wouldn't. Frantically trying to come up with a way out I had no time, the two of them were on my tail. Blasting my way through the sound barrier and attempting to reach the speed of light Obliterator grabbed hold of my ankle. I was no longer headed away but being pulled sideways in a clockwise rotation. Being spun around so quickly kept me from casting, I couldn't move my head. Releasing his grip I moved away from him, only I was headed downward. Wondering what my next move was going to be turned into taking the pain from crashing. Starting at the top, my body broke through the rooftop of a tall building. Feeling the materials rip apart from the force of my body and also dig into me at the same time hurt like hell. Three floors down and more things happened to be in the way. It was hard to tell if it was a business or an apartment since couches mixed with desks and some office supplies. Twelve stories down and my healing was exhausting itself trying to keep me alive. All sorts of objects were cutting through my back and my neck, the sides of my arms too. Eighteen stories down and I realized if it weren't for my healing then I'd have passed out already and died. Thirty-six stories is how many I broke through before striking the ground. All my senses felt so numb that I figured I had actually died from it. That feeling when you have a brain freeze and you feel a little stupid, like somebody put your brain in a washing machine. I smacked it so hard I blacked out for one second until regeneration started. Stuck in whatever it was, metal, plywood, drywall, asphalt and/or cement, I couldn't move. My mind was stuck on other things like how hard to breathe it was. It was also possible several of my ribs were broken and parts of my spine. The healing rate was fast this time since there was so much damage. Right as I reached a point of comfortability again there was a noise, like metal was grunting. Trying to peel myself out from the me sized crater there was a loud thud. Banging could be heard but it was feint, my head turned in all directions but there was nothing around. Looking up was confusing at first, it was hard to tell what exactly was going on but then it clicked. The entire building was collapsing, and I was stuck underneath it.
