The Battle of Heroes

Chapter2 Leah, Jessie, and Jason

      Chapter 2

         Standing there in all that power feeling the earth shift under me and the warm air in the classroom stire around me as if they where waiting for me to command them as if they where part of my body.

         "Ready your self there coming and another has joined the fight." "They will be on you in a min you must save her but know if you stay and fight them all you will lose every thing, good bye Mike and good luck."

With that the presence in my mind lightened leaving me a little dumb struck. Looking down I see my class mates still setting in there sets staring at me like I was some kind of freak.  Fear the same fear that kept me from this power was still there, in the eyes of all who saw what I could be. Anger can be so powerful; it flooding my mind like a never ending fire ready to lose control and take every thing around it with it. "No hold your self together push it away, they can't help but fear you and your power." "They don't understand it." after a min I was able to push it a way.  With all the kids still staring at me I had to say something. I go to open my mouth and BOOM. 

Dust raining down from the ceiling, they where here no time left. "Run as fast as you can go, now!!" I yelled. BOOM the room now shaking causing the kids around me to run and it gripped me. I looked around and saw MR. Lane standing by the door. I quickly run to him and grab his arm. "Tell them I did this all of it, now goo." He gave me one long look.

"You where the brightest kid in my class always looking toward the ending, never dwelling to long on the problems; what ever happens let that guide you." "Call me if you ever need help." He turned and ran down the hall heading for the exit.

"OK now where are they. As if on Que, BOOM.  A large crack speared in the wall behind me, turning readying my self for any thing. BOOM  lights go out only light in the room is coming from the crack, the wall bearly holding its self up. BOOM the dim light changed to a bright red the same light that had come from me a few minute before. BOOOOM, there went the wall the limp body of a girl's comes flying through the room right towards me. Bracing my self I catch the girl  before she hits the ground, looking down for any sign of life, it was there in her lips, and checks,  and  and soft black hair . . . . "Lin?!?!?" My mind reeling searching for any answer to why. Then it came like the howl of a wolf hunting, an unnerving laugh sending a chill down my spine.

"Well well well what have we here another bunny for us to hunt." The chilled voice came from the room beyond where the wall had been standing. "Woo and its a boy at that." (click) "Oh don't kill him Jason I want to play with this one before we kill him." Shrilled the voice so full of pleasure that it made me blush.

"Fine make it quick then." Came the second voice that I assume was Jason's.

"Oh goody." Squealed the first voice. "Hey Leah tell me about this one, what are his 

weakness."

"He has none that I can think of, the only thing I think is his love for me and his sister."

looking up from Lin searching the black for the owner of that voice hoping it was the sweet Leah that had disappeared over four months ago. "Le. . .Leah, is that you?"

"Oh he does like you I can hear it in his voice, but I thought you said that no one here likes you." 

"I believe I said that I hate everyone here and wanted them all dead." Calmed Leah as she stepped from the shadows. Her brown hair flowing with the draft coming from behind them warped in two places with yellow ribbon. She was wearing a silver looking vest undone in the middle showing off a really short yellow shirt a black belt with a big yellow buckle and Capri's, and on her feet where these knee high black boots that laced all the way down to the toe. The outfit aside that was not what grabbed my attention hidden behind her back covering her arms from the elbow down was the same long gauntlets but hers had yellow embroidery. 

"Yes and I believe I told you that only the after math of a will user can level a building witch that little girl is, and beside a will user is at there strongest when they first fuse with there gauntlets and when they are close to death that's why we where chasing that one."

"God damn it Jessie you really need to know when to shut the hell up look at the boy; look in his eyes!!!" Stepping from the dark came a quite beautiful girl. Her long black hair being held back out of here face by a yellow head band. She wore a short silver dress that cut off right below her butt a big black belt going across her belly and a yellow vest with knee high black boots with buckles all the way down and two matle spikes on the toes and the same yellow embroidery on her gauntlets that are on Leah's. Looking back to Jessie's face seeing the fear in her eyes ignited something inside me. Light filling the room coming from behind me i turned and glanced back behind me to find rows of flames forming. Something started to tug at the back of my mind it was a question an unspoken question in which the answer flowed from my lips.

"shield." The flames spread to from a circle around Lin and I. the light filling the hole in the wall enuf to show a shadow of a man standing back away from the light I assumed that he was Jason. Stepping ford Jessie rises her hands.

"You think those meek little flames can hurt us." She steps forward and with a snap the embroidery around her wrist starts glowing' yellow light shooting from her hand forming some thing solid. The yellow glow goes out leaving Jessie holding a yellow and silver 12 gauge pump action shotgun with a sawed off barrel and a pistol grip in each hand. "Look here little man, I'm going to beat you to a pulp while that little bunny in your arms and Leah over here watch." "When I'm finished making you cry I'm going to kill your little sister  while Leah here holds you down, do you understand!?." 

My anger swelling inside me turning into hate and feeding the flames around me making them grow wild and stronger.  The flames bringing back that memory of the fire cooking my back while I shielded my sister from them now these same flames will never stop protecting me. "Now you listen to me." Pushing myself back on to my feet still holding Lin in my arms  "These flames that have tasted my flesh will never abandon me, and now they will taste your flesh!" Reaching out with my mind grasping at the raw furry building around me, I turned it all on them. POW! 

With sharp blinding pain arcing through my body, I fall on to my knees hard. "Jessie play time is over, his fire is spreading beyond his control. 

"Fine lets go Leah this place is coming down."

looking up searching for her, are eyes meet as she turned to leave the room. Never have I felt so much hate in my life, something had changed Leah. she was always so happy. I knew I had to save her now more then ever.

My vision tented red with blood, was starting to fade and I could feel the control over the fire around me failing, the heat rising. "Is this it; is this the end, after all that could it really be over." There was nothing left I could think of, and with that I passed out.

Waking up, the pain racing through my head. I reached up toward my head and realized I was being held by someone. Fear hurdling to the forefront of my mind' I slowly opened my eyes to see who was holding me. "Mike!?" My mind racing why was he holding me. "Mike." I called to him again, he did not move nor speak was he still mad? I looked up again looking for signs of anger and realized he was unconscious. Struggling out of his arms I hit the ground. Turning over to get a better look at him. The heat hit me like a tone of bricks, the room was on fire no it wasn't  just the room it was the whole building. Reaching over I grabbed mike on the shoulder and tried to wake him but pulled away feeling something wet. Looking down at my hand it was red blood looking back at his shoulder he had been shot, he had saved me but how, I thought and there it was the the armor of fate covering him head to toe. He looked like a hero in his long tan duster and ruby red silk shirt. "It must have been is first time wearing the gauntlets."

Taking in the damage done to the room I had no choice. I steadied myself rared back and struck the ground as hard as I could with my fists and two concrete slabs rose out of the ground forming a stone tent. grabbing mike under his good shoulder I pulled him under the make shift tent. "Please Mike wake up I need you to be OK, I don't know what I would do with out you. I pleaded and gave him a soft kiss on his cheek tears rolling down my face.

"ahhooo."

"Mike!!!" I yelled as joy filled my voice. The building was ready to come down the walls moaning from the stress "Don't worry Mike I will get you out!" Slamming my hands down on the ground as hard as I could and pushed with every thing I had digging a tunnel for us to escape. Leaving behind ever thing we had shared behind us.
