I went through the other side of the portal that brought me right in the middle of the ministry on a random street. There was pandemonium occurring all around us. Majestas army were terrorizing the citizens while the police force tried to put a stop to it all. Buildings were burning, people were dying, it was a mess. I took my sword out with one hand and kept the relic under my other arm. "Crimson you said you wanted to help right?" I asked. "Yeah sure why not" she answered, "then kill anyone who's wearing tattered clothes and bleeds black" I ordered.

Crimson smiled "with pleasure" she said. "Remember what I told you about holding back" "yeah yeah don't worry I will" she promised before running off. "Hey there's the guardian" one of Majestas soilders said in awe. He then whistled contacting some more of his crew members. In about 2 seconds I was surrounded by 30 enemy forces. They all laughed and snickered as they moved closer with various weapons they had. "Ready to surrender?" one asked me with a huge smile on his face. I just sighed, "burn" I said aloud. Suddenly a large fireball formed in the sky then fell upon all of us.

There was a large explosion wiping out all the buildings in the area. The ground shook as the shock broke all the windows of any buildings that survived the attack. When the smoke cleared any living thing was burnt into black statues. Good thing I didn't sense anyone in the area, but that did cause a lot of collateral damage I thought. Suddenly Crimson popped up from the ashes of a destroyed building. "Are you nuts, you could've killed me with a blast like that and you tell me to hold back!" She yelled.

"Stop complaining I knew you'd survive the blast, it takes a lot more to put someone like you down" I explained. Crimson then ran over and kicked me in the leg "you owe me a new outfit, this one's covered in ash!" She screamed. "Ouch okay okay no need for the violence" I said as I rubbed my hurt leg. "Look there they are!" One of Majestas soilders yelled from behind Crimson. There was an army of about 50 men and women running down the street towards us. "Looks like we got company" I said.

"Yeah lot's of company" Crimson said as she pointed towards the other end of the street. I turned to see 50 more people running our way, they were coming from both sides. Me and Crimson stood back to back. I held the chest with the relic tighter. "You take half and I take the other?" I asked "or I can take them all" Crimson implied as both her hands started to glow yellow. "No" I simply stated "awe come on, can I at least let loose?" She asked. I closed my eyes trying to sense if any civilians were in the area. "Yes you can but only a little, can't have you blowing up the whole ministry" I said.

Crimson smiled "better then nothing" she said before rushing off. I looked at the crowd of angry evil doers rush towards me. I pointed my sword at all of them. A large gust of ice rushed out of my blade freezing the the whole street until all of them were frozen the a large block of ice. I then focused my energy on electricity. Suddenly a loud BOOM! roared throughout the sky as thunder and lightning formed from above. A large strike of lightning fell from sky hitting and destroying the ice.

The whole street side blew up killing all the enemys in its wake. I sighed, can't believe I destroyed more of the street, Velro's going to kill me I thought. Suddenly there was a loud BANG! and the ground shook again. I turned around and seen the whole street side obliterated. Crimson was the only one standing there with her back turned to me. She turned to me revealing blue eyes rather then red. "Sorry, did I break the limit?" She asked as she walked towards me. "No Christa not at all" I said.

"Okay good, that was fun is it always this easy?" She asked. "No, it hardly ever is" I answered. "Hm, so how did so much bad people get in? Don't you have defenses?" She asked. "Yeah we have an invisible shield over the ministry" I answered. "Oh does it go underground to?" She asked. I thought for a second "umm I don't know" I said. "Toby you idiot!" Velro yelled as he and some of my soilders came towards us. "Yeah Velro I'm sorry about the street" I apologized. "What? Forget the street why haven't you been answering my calls?!" He yelled again.

I paused for a second then reached into my pocket taking out my now burnt phone. Velro just shook his head "listen you gotta get home" he said. "Why?" I asked, "Toby the enemy never got passed the shields, they all came from your house" Velro explained. "What? That makes no sense" I said in shock. Velro just shrugged "I'm telling it like it is" he said. "But Sandra's safe right?" I asked, Velro just looked away. "Yeah about that, she's kind of the opposite of safe at the moment" he said.

My heart started racing, I handed the relic to Velro then grabbed Christa by the waist while putting my sword away. Before Velro or Christa could say or do anything I flew off into the air.
