Oversight

Chapter 27 A Plan in Action

Noah needed to improvise a little bit in order to get everyone on their way. He drove the car, not trusting anyone else with driving his car. He was also forced to create an energy expansion on the car though so that they could fit everyone. He sped down the road, zooming past cars on the highway. Silus, whenever he was able to, made time around them slow to a crawl which would give them more time once they got there to save Sam. Any cops that tried to stop them would soon be found by their coworkers, passed out behind the wheel of a car with no energy. Most of them slept on the way there. They knew they had a big fight ahead of them, and they needed to be ready. 

Noah knew they were ready. He was prepared to bet his life on it, and he just might do that in the end if he had to. After all, this all started after they decided to kill him, why not give them what they wanted now that he'd made a difference. He didn't care about his own life anymore. He just cared about the mission. He just cared about Sam. He knew he hadn't know her for to long, but he felt like he'd know her his whole life. 

His foot was pushing the gas pedal all the way to the floor as he glared out the front window. Most people would calm down around this time, but Noah's anger wasn't going down. With each passing second, it only increased. It fueled him, prepared him for what was about to happen.

...

The master stood at the entrance to the mountain, looking out at the sky above him. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath of fresh air. "It's such a nice day today, don't you guys think?"

His team stood behind him, gathered and waiting. "Why don't you send us after Noah. We are ready, master. We can defeat him."

"I know you can." The master turned to them. "But why go searching for something that's searching for you?" The master closed his eyes. "He is coming. He is almost here. What is coming...it will be interesting to experience." He pushed past them and walked into the mountain. They all followed behind him. 

...

Night fell and daylight rose before they were at the base of the mountain, the trees providing cover for them. "Ok," Noah said. "We need to get into the mountain, but the front door seems to risky. I broke in out once before..."

"Yeah," Emma interrupted. "Sam showed me. You had to absorb most of the energy out of like ten controllers, and all the energy out of one and you still barely made it. The only way in is through the front door." Emma stepped in front of everyone and looked back at them. "So we hit them, and we hit them hard."

...

Ever since they had discovered that Noah was on his way, two of the team had been placed outside the front entrance to guard it. Ethan played with a circle of water that floated in front of him, making it twirl and form shapes. Bruce picked up rocks and squished them in his hands, crushing them into a powder that he let slip between his fingers. "Hey," Ethan said, the water retracting into an open pouch on his side. "What is that?"

Bruce looked up from his rocks and saw what Ethan was talking about. A giant girl was running up the mountain. She must have been twenty feet tall. "You can get this one right?" Ethan mumbled.

Bruce chuckled. "Yeah, I got her." He ran forward, his muscle structure restructuring and growing. He jumped up and raised his fists above his head to smash the girl's foot. She moved at the last second, sidestepping the attack. That was when Bruce noticed two people hanging onto the girl's ankles. One pointed and finger and a sonic blast erupted from him, hitting Bruce in the face. 

Bruce flew back toward Ethan and Ethan shot water towards the giant girl's ankles. The water hit with such intensity with such a sharp edge formed in it that the girl's ankle cut open and she stumbled, beginning to fall away from Ethan. He watched her fall and as he turned to look back down the mountain he saw him. Noah rushed forward, shooting a blot of energy at him.
