Wielders

chapter 9

Josue falls deeper into a dark abyss. "Maybe i overreacted, kim can take care of herself after all." While falling josue looks down at the black void below him. "When the heck does this thing e..." Josue's face and body slam into the floor cracking the ground. Claire gets up from her fall shaking her head. "where am i?" Claire looks around, surprised at the well lit room surrounding her with even a few areas for hiding. "If this is supposed some sort of trap, why is it so well lit?" Claire then feels something brush the backside of her head. She whips around with two normal pistols in hand. She looks at the basic pistols. "I can do better than this." Claire focuses and changes the pistols to laser rifles. "That's better!?" Claire feels something touch her spine, so once again she whips around and sees nothing. Claire looks around furiously before calming down and listening. Claire begins to hear movement around her. Claire looks around again but doesn't see anyone moving. She begins to hear more movement again but can't see anything. 'so they can bend the light around to make themselves invisible.' Claire makes both laser rifles disappear and she sits down. Claire hears the footsteps get closer before a huge insane smile finds her lips. Claire begins to hear the footsteps right next to her, she then summons summons a regular sword and slices where she thinks the next step will be.The sword breaks on impact but the force of the hit causes the leg to break in two in a shower of sparks. "Dang it i summoned a normal weapon again!" Claire then notices the sparks. "What the hell?" Claire turns around in time to get hit in the face as the robots turn off their invisibility. Claire summons multiple laser swords in response to being punched with some slicing into the robots and others dodging it. "Claire rose:analysis:fragile:Threat level:minimum." Claire freezes at that point. "You're going to regret saying that!!!" Claire begins charging forward, but another robot slams her head into the ground from behind her. "Threat level:nonexistent." The robot that slammed her states this, then fall to pieces. The other robots begin to analyze the body quickly. "Query:How was it attacked?" Claire is shown standing behind the robot unharmed. "what's the matter, didn't see that?" The robot swings its fist to the sound of Claire's voice but she's not there anymore. "you're going to regret giving me such a low threat level." Meanwhile, Jill finally falls into a pitch black room. She smirks as she gets up. "He thinks this will stop me, but bad news buster I'm always prepared." Jill then flicks on her flashlight. the light comes on for a second before dying out. Jill then begins shaking the flashlight. "oh cmon you were working fine earlier." Jill then throws the flashlight but she doesn't hear it hit the ground. "what the heck?" Jill looks around and begins to feel in front of her. "Where the hell is it?" One of her suspender falls onto her side. "What!??" Jill tries to put the suspender back, but the other suspender gets knocked off. The suspenders hang loosely and before she can put them back on something pulls down her shorts. Jill begins to panic but then calms down. 'okay so they're big perverts, maybe i can use that to my advantage.' Jill waits patiently for the next movement. The second she feels something touching her pink panties she attacks with the palm of her hand and slices through the robots exterior. Jill sees the light of sparks and smiles as she controls the sparks and makes them fly around her. As more sparks fly out of the arm she sends them to the roof and they shine like stars. The room lights up and several all black robots stand out in the light. She then sees one of the robots holding her flashlight. "can i please have my flashlight back?" The robot attempts to smash the flashlight. "Oh no you don't!" She makes several sparks in the sky spin very fast and makes them rain down on the robot's arm. In another room, Malcolm lands on his back looking up at the hole he fell from. "How the hell did he disappear from me?" Malcolm gets up in a normally lit room. "Where the hell am I?" Malcolm looks over the area and walks around slowly. "How are you gentleman?" The entire room is filled with people in suits with no face. They all stare at him with blank faces as they start walking forward. "If every room here has things like this i hope Claire is doing okay." Something kicks Malcolm from behind. "Son of a..." Malcolm turns around and sees that the same amount of robots are behind him as in front of him. Malcolm decides to try the one thing he knew would fail. "didn't think the mind reading would work." Malcolm then gets his face kicked from behind. Malcolm then sees that they have doubled in numbers on both side. Malcolm dodges the next attack from behind him and launches a Telekinetic strike towards his attacker. The robot and the others behind it shatter into several pieces. Suddenly all the robots activate at once and charge forward. Malcolm just shakes his head and tries to smash them all to pieces with his telekinetic powers. He snaps his finger, but when it doesn't work he raises his hands up then motions to slam them down. "What the hell!!!!" Malcolm then sees all the robots jump at him. "Fine then i don't need my powers to fight you." They all land near him and start attacking him. He breaks through them effortlessly before his powers kick in again and they all get crushed. Malcolm looks down at his hands. "What the hell happened?" Josue finally gets up and finds an open door waiting for him. Josue walks through the barely lit hallway the door leads into, complaining about it all the while. "You'd think with all his money he could afford decent lighting." Josue stops for a moment when he hears slamming form above him. 'great and Malcolm can't talk to me telepathically so I don't know how the others are doing.' Josue stops walking when the corridor turns pitch black and looks at his gloved right hand, then fires a negative purple energy blast in front of him. It reveals a wooden door glowing yellow with swirling cogs emanating from it. Josue teleports to it and kicks it open. Lucas looks up at him, sitting down with a chessboard in front of him. The glow from the door is back, locking Josue in with Lucas in the all white room. Josue looks at a black door behind Lucas, 'the bomb has to be behind that door.' "I'm glad you're here black king." Lucas looks at Josue with a smile. "care to play a game?" Josue looks around and pulls another chair to sit down in front of Lucas. "you're very formal Lucas," Lucas looks a bit surprised but then smirks, "Offering this game as a friend when you're threatening to destroy this city." Lucas just continues to smile. "it's not by choice, the formalities, I just don't know your full name Josue." Lucas looks at him then to his pocket watch. "at any rate your team will have issues with my traps for about an hour so..." Josue cuts Lucas off. "James." Lucas looks at him with a raised eyebrow. "huh?" Josue answers him. "My name is Josue James." Josue extends out his gloved hand for a handshake. "you calculated everything up till this point threatening our new home and possibly some loved ones all for the wells clock." They shake hands. Lucas looks impressed then smirks. "I knew you would figure it out, he said you would, but that's a bonus not the main prize." They both turn to look at the chess board. Josue gives a solemn smile at the board. "white goes first," Lucas moves a knight forward before looking back at Josue. "feel free to take off the glove I know you wear the ring." Josue looks shocked but then remembers what he said earlier. "you've been watching us so you must have seen the fight at school." Lucas nods. "well then since this game would be boring without learning something about each other,for every piece we lose we answer one question deal?" Josue moves a piece nodding, realizing who Lucas is working with. "then let's begin." Lucas's bomb turns on.
