Catalyst

Chapter 70: Forming

The third team is Bryant, Dante, Owen, Nia, Caleb, Asaka, Micheal, Zack, and Jason.

Soldiers: "A bold move."

The soldiers ready their aim as Dante changes to a wolf Asaka readies her staff, and Owen holds out his blade.

Owen: "It was our only move."

Dante: "You forced us into a corner."

Asaka: "So of course that we'd be in this situation."

Caleb takes aim as Nia and Zack prepare themselves.

Ethan: "We're only here to save the lives of multiple dimensions!"

Zack: "And we want to get home!"

Nia: "Your boss has been making everything that's been happening these past few months happen in the first place!"

Caleb: "He's been the source of countless lives being lost in a pointless search for power!"

The soldiers open fire.

Soldiers: "No! It's because none of you complied with the law!"

Bryant takes to the skies as Micheal and Jason begin the defensive position.

Jason: "It's pointless to try and get their heads straight."

Bryant: "It's so sad."

Micheal: "Well, all we've got to do is hold out until we see the signal."

Micheal and Zack swing their blades, killing a dozen in one attack.

Zack: "Jay's telepathy really did come in handy."

Nia and Owen take a bullet to the shin.

Owen: "We've also got to thank Lariat and LeeAnn for devising that plan in a single minute."

Soldiers: "What?!"

Bryant picks a soldier up by the arms and heads back into the sky.

Bryant: "Our plan is something that you don't know."

Bryant throws the soldier back into the ground and into another ten, like bowling.

Dante: "(dodging) Where's the signal?"

A bolt of lightning flashes in the sky.

Asaka: "There!"

Asaka ensnares five soldiers in roots as Caleb head shots all five.

Caleb: "G-Go Bryant! Dante!"

The blood red aura begins to form.

Bryant: "We're on it!"

Bryant changes into a wolf as he touches the ground and Owen skewers another neck.

Bryant/ Dante: "Synergy Attack, Wolf Basher!"

Bryant and Dante begin head bashing several soldiers, one at a time.

Soldiers: "You really think that's enough?"

A pink laser from an unknown source disintegrates soldiers in their area.

James:: "You think that wasn't taken into consideration?"

Soldiers: "Wh-What's that?!"

The soldiers are turned to dust.

Nia: "Phillip and Nyria."

A few more bullets injure everyone before the soldiers disappear.

Ethan: "It's always just before they go when they get one last shot."

Zack: "Literally."

They can see some of their allies heading for the White House.

Dante: "(in pain) We'd better get over."

Dante and Bryant change back.

Ethan: "Sounds like a good idea."

They stumble over to the White House, thinking about what remaining plans Horus may have in store...
