Chapter 20: Make or Break

"Alex?" I coughed out, groaning.

I felt the all familiar cool yet soothing feeling and the faint sensation of my body warming up, the pain and tiredness washed away.

I could feel myself recovering and feeling back to my old self.

"Thanks" I muttered to Alex who helped me up.

"You're stupid" he chided at me.

"Yeah, I know" I scoffed back; ignoring the commotion behind us.

"You okay?"

"As much as I can be."

"So," Alex asked before producing an energy bar and giving it to me, "What's going on?"

I took giant bites and explained the situation. Alex listened and between my bites of food, he turned around or got up with his hands blazing with light; shooting flashes of light and chasing the shadows away.

I could faintly hear Hunter and Jayden chatting with each other, as well as edging Jason on.

"So long story short, Jason brainwashed Stella and Jessica; giving them dark shadowy powers but not really, and Stella did the same thing to Azalea, Kalonice, and Clara" I finished, dusting my hands off crumbs.

After taking the juice box from Alex (which he came prepared luckily since I was famished), he knelt in front of me. "This won't be easy" he said.

"You think?" I responded back sarcastically.

Alex rolled his eyes but he took several deep breathes, "This is nuts."

"Quite."

"You ready?"

"As ready as I'll ever be."

With that, I got up with hands ablaze before I slammed my hands together. Thunder cracked and created a large BOOM! The resounding shock created a shockwave that pushed everything in it's way down.

Hunter and Jayden had hit the deck with Jason disappearing into the shadows. Stella and Jessica felt backwards and the other three were down for the count.

Jason reappeared half out of the shadows and gave me a look of utter disdain before he pulled himself back out fully. He rose his arms like he was lifting something heavy and out of the shadows, wolves out of shadows appeared.

They charged, and the light Alex had created had dimmed since then. Stella, Jessica, and Kalonice charged as Hunter, Jayden, and I charged back.

I fought against Stella, my arms and legs coated with electricity; Stella mimicking me as well. We launched our fists together and all I could say that it was like we moved according to our element.

Stella moved fluidly like a Shadow, wispy and silent, but still ominous all the same.

My moves were fast but they cracked with volatile. Every time we came into contact and launched any attacks, they collided and almost seemed poetic.

The shadow wolves Jason would try to get in a bite and I swore they changed into a humanoid shape; the tendrils of my electricity lashing out.

Through my peripheral vision, I could see Jayden and Hunter working together to fight against Kalonice and Jessica. Earth and Metal V.S. Air and Fire.

Last time I saw, they were holding their ground (almost quite literally) well enough so my worries were curbed a little.

I saw something incoming and I barely missed it, when a wolf came charging at me. It razed a bit of my shoulder and I hissed. I kicked it to the side and it yelped before disappearing into nothingness.
