Trigger Warning: Character death, gore, and violence

Seán's POV

I have to find a way to get everyone inside. The longer we're in her way, the more danger everyone will be in. I spot a long piece of broken off metal shift into N/N's hand, it looks to be about the size of an average staff.

"Here's to hoping my dream vision wasn't true." I hear N/N whisper.

Before I can react the gravity circle fades off as N/N and the men charge towards each other. I gather everyone's attention to try and get back down into the base. Quickly but carefully we gather around the hatch, but it's stuck in place by some of the debris from the barrier. I look up to see N/N slam her staff into the ground and fling herself over the first man, landing a hard kick to the second two men's faces and effectively slamming her staff into the front guy's head.

Turning my attention back to the hatch I start to help the guys pull out the pieces of debris we can get a hold of when I hear N/N grunt along with a loud slam. Stealing a glance back to the fight I see N/N break the nose of the guy holding her ankle with the staff before scrambling to her feet and cracking the third man's skull, the extra force from her telekinesis visibly adding force the to blow.

I can feel vomit try and push its way up my throat at the cracking sound and the sight of the now dead man fall limp. I swallow hard and start pulling on the hatch once again, but it won't budge. Everyone runs to crouch behind the hatch, just trying to be out of the way while N/N and the two men fight.

It's hard to see what's going on, they're moving so fast. They duck and weave, deliver hard blows, occasionally swinging around the light poles. Lighting and fire flies from the the limbs of the two men in a tangled and sporadic chaos. N/N's movements are more swift and calculated, more cautious.

We watched in abject horror as she hit the men with her staff and waves of compressed water while they fought just to land hits on her. Real life isn't like the movies, not much time has passed but the effort of the fight is draining her quickly.

There's a loud bang on the hatch scaring us back into focus. We all look through the glass and see Amy trying to push the hatch open from the inside. Without a word we spread out around the hatch and start pulling it together as both Amy and Marzia push. The hatch finally pops open throwing us all to the ground, looking back it's not open nearly enough to get in or out.

There a bright flash of lightning accompanied with a loud, painful scream. I rush to my feet just in time to see N/N collapse in pain, clutching her injured side as blood starts to seep through her suit.

"No!! Stop!" I hear myself scream.

I try to run over to her but the others are holding me back while the men continue to beat her with kicks and punches, consumed with fire and electricity. I just manage to break free from my friend's grip and throw the nearest piece of scrap mental I can reach at the first man's head.

The hatch finally flies open from the inside as the man angrily starts coming towards us, I push in front of everyone, picking up the closest bit of debris I could use as a weapon. The man swings a short sword I hadn't noticed before towards my head and I just barely manage to hold it off with the debris piece I held in my hands.

He swung again throwing me down hard and ridding me of what little protection I had. I slipped and landed on my hip while trying to stand. Sucking in a sharp breath I hear one of the girls shout just before I feel liquid spray over the side of my face.

Tessa caught his sword with her bare hands

Even more frustrated he grabs her by the hair and tears his shirt off knotting it to her ankle, quickly making his way to the nearest light pole. I finally get to my feet and run after him along with our friends, I feel a horrific wave of dread overcome my body as we watch him throw her upside down into the water dangling by his shirt.
