Chapter 13

"How did he get out?" Ben asks. "I don't know." I answer. "We should help him." Stephen says. We all look at him. "Look we all know what's happening is bad. Why are we debating this? He needs our help. Am I the only one who has heard the screams? Guys were a team. Michael has stood up for us time and time again." Stephen pleads. "We'll die." I answer. "Have you felt the heat. Sam's may end up being more powerful then Aras." Stephen counters. "There's no way." Lincoln chimes in. "We have Ben, you, me, and Lincoln. We could do it. I'm sick of this. All the stuff their doing here. At first I ignored it, I can't anymore can you?" Stephen pleads. No I can't. I've made my choice. I nod to Lincoln. I guess the team has too. The rumble continue. I think Sam has met Tony. Lincoln turns into steel and kicks the door straight off. The guard come into view. Lincoln punches him once and he's unconscious. "Let's go." Lincoln says.

I'm exhausted. This battle is pointless, but I know he's giving out. There was a lot of kicking, punching. But really we dodged most of each other's swings. I stop my foot. The ground cracks and fire comes gushing out at him. He runs straight into it. That's what I want. I punch the ground. I geyser of fire comes up as he passes through the flames. The force sends him to the ceiling. He falls to the ground. He slowly starts to get his senses back. I create a fireball the size of a boulder. He's immune to fire, but the force should do it. I throw it down on him and he's out. I sit down and catch my breath. That guy was well trained. I see Luke come running around the corner. I notice Daniel ran away during the battle. He looks around at the room. I look around too. There are burn marks everywhere. Some of the wall in disintegrated. I got smudge marks all over me. Half of my shirt is gone. I see cracks in the ceiling and walls form the impact. "What happened?" Luke breaths. "Long story." I say. I see the rest of the team is watching behind stunned. I get up and walk over to Michael I had purposely lured him into a different room so nothing happened to Michael. He barely conscious. He has bruises and cuts from the whip all over his upper body. His face is bruised. I untie his straps and lift him over my shoulder. He's heavier than he looks. I almost fall down, but don't. I carry him to Lincoln. He still looks stunned. "Come on, we don't have a lot of time." I say. He nods and turns into steel. He easily picks him up and drapes him across his shoulder. Doesn't look to comfortable, but that's not the focus. I nod to the others and we all run. We avoid the cafeteria where most everyone is. Not everyone knows we escaped, but it had to travel some. If this got out, some of the others with doubts might get ideas. Not to mention the commotion me and that guy made. There was a couple guys we had to deal with on the way, but nothing major. We get to the final door. I peek around the corner. There's three of them. Daniel, Chase, and some guy I don't know. Daniel's look is concerned and worried. Chase looks smug. The other guy looks jittery. "Don't do this. You will only get hurt." Daniel says. I nod to Lincoln and Michael. "Everyone keep him safe." I whisper. My hands burst into flames. As do my eyes. "I don't think so." I say. Daniel looks scared. But raises his hands. "Fine." He says. Water shoots out of it. It swirls in the air. Then it darts towards me. Fire comes from my eyes, hitting the water, making a lot of steam. Soon I couldn't see anything. We creep down the hall. Suddenly, we are standing in on a puddle of water. "Sam move!" Stephen yells. He pushes me out of the way as the puddle burst with electricity, but he looks unfazed. Must be immune to electricity. "So what's Chase's powers?" I ask. Why didn't I ask this before? "Well in the short version, he shoots electricity, can absorb electricity, can travel through metal objects, and make your body parts stop working." Lincoln explains. "Wait what!?" I ask. "Watch out!" Ben warns as a huge blast of electricity comes at me. Ben pulls something out behind him. It's looks like a metal stick. It extends into a long staff. He hurls it at the blast. Right as it's about to hit the blast, it explodes into a portal. It has a purple glow to it. It only stays open for a second and then closes. The blast is gone. I really underestimated Ben. Another portal opens above him and his staff drops down. Cool. I wish I had a weapon. Right don't need one. The steam starts to back up. It starts to shrink. There goes our cover. Luke steps in front with both hands together. There's only one guy standing in front of us. "Connor? Is that you?" Luke asks. "Sure is. You guys messed up. It's getting bad out there Luke. There has been killings. Shootings. We are getting shot like dogs out there!" Connor screams at Luke. "I understand, but this is not right. We are slaves here. Their using us for their righteous war. Come with us." Luke pleads. "No. I will not get shot with you out there. Maybe their right. The normals act like their better than us. Treat us like slaves. Maybe that should change." Connor says. I know he's already made up his mind. "Luke...." I start, but he waves me down. "I don't want to fight you Connor. We're friends, man. Don't do this." Luke says. "I won't fight you, but they will." Connor says. I spin around as a burst of water hits me. I fly back. I end up with Connor standing over me. "Now you, I will fight." Connor says. Oh lord. His eyes go ice cold. They have a glow to them. The black part of his eyes stand out. The rest of his eyes take on a light blue glow. He blast ice down at me. How many of these guys are there? I shove my hands up. He gets to me first. My hands turn to ice. It crawls down my arms. I hear sounds of battle behind me, but I'm going numb. He keeps it up. "Goodbye Sam." Connor sneers. That when i go unconscious.
